14. The increase of capital shall be in such amount and divided into shares of such nominal value, and with such restrictions and conditions and with such rights and privileges as the Resolution dealing with the creation of the shares prescribes, subject to the special rights of an existing class of shares, and if no provisions are contained in the Resolution, then as the Board of Directors shall prescribe.

A share certificate registered in the names of two or more persons shall be delivered to one of the joint holders, and the Company shall not be obliged to issue more than one certificate to all the joint holders of shares and the delivery of such certificate to one of the joint holders shall be deemed to be delivery to all of them.
 
24.

CALLS ON SHARES

25.       The Board of Directors may from time to time, in its discretion, make calls on shareholders in respect of amounts which are still unpaid in respect of the shares held by each of the shareholders (including premiums), and the terms of issue which do not prescribe that same be paid at fixed times, and every shareholder shall be obliged to pay the amount of the call made on him, at such time and at such place as stipulated by the Board of Directors.

27.       If according to the terms of issue of any share, or otherwise, any amount is required to be paid at a fixed time or in installments at fixed times, whether the payment is made on account of the share capital in respect of the share or in form of a premium, every such payment or every such installment shall be paid as if it was a call duly made by the Board of Directors, in respect of which notice was duly given, and all the provisions contained in these Articles in regard to calls shall apply to such amount or to such installment.
 
28. Joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of all installments and calls due in respect of such share.

The Board of Directors may, however, waive the payment of the linkage differentials or the interest or part thereof.
 
30. A shareholder shall not be entitled (i) to receive a dividend or (ii) to exercise any right as a shareholder, including but not limited to, the right to attend and vote at a General Meeting of any type and to transfer the shares to another; unless he has paid all the calls payable from time to time and which apply to any of his shares, whether he holds same alone or jointly with another, plus linkage differentials, interest and expenses, if any.
 
31. The Board of Directors may, if it deems fit, accept payment from a shareholder wishing to advance the payment of all moneys which remain unpaid on account of his shares, or part thereof which are over and above the amounts which have actually been called, and the Board of Directors shall be entitled to pay such shareholder linkage differentials and interest in respect of the amounts paid in advance, or that portion thereof which exceeds the amount called for the time being on account of the shares in respect of which the advance payment is made, at such rate as is agreed upon between the Board of Directors and the shareholder, with this being in addition to dividends payable (if any) on the paid-up portion of the share in respect of which the advance payment is made.
 
The Board of Directors may, at any time, repay the amount paid in advance as aforesaid, in whole or in part, in its sole discretion.

FORFEITURE AND LIEN

32.       If a shareholder fails to make payment of any call or other installment on or before the date fixed for the payment thereof, the Board of Directors may, at any time thereafter and for as long as the part of the call or installment remains unpaid, serve on him a notice demanding that he make payment thereof, together with the linkage differentials and interest at such rate as is specified by the Board of Directors and all the expenses incurred by the Company in consequence of such non-payment.

The notice shall further state that, if the amount is not paid on or before the date specified, and at the place mentioned in such notice, the shares in respect of which the call was made, or the installment is due, shall be liable to forfeiture.



- 9 -

34.       If the demands contained in such notice are not complied with the Board of Directors may treat the shares in respect of which the notice referred to in Articles 32 and 33 was given as forfeited. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends, bonus shares and other benefits which have been declared in respect of the forfeited shares which have not actually been paid prior to the forfeiture.
 
35. Any share so forfeited or waived shall be deemed to be the property of the Company and the Board of Directors shall be entitled, subject to the provisions of these Articles and the Law, to sell, re-allot or otherwise dispose thereof, as it deems fit, whether the amount paid previously in respect of that share is credited, in whole or in part.
 
36. The Board of Directors may, at any time before any share forfeited as aforesaid is sold or re-allotted or otherwise dispose of, cancel the forfeiture on such conditions as it deems fit.
 
37. Any person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a shareholder in respect of the forfeited shares, but shall, nonetheless remain liable for the payment to the Company of all calls, installments, linkage differentials, interest and expenses due on account of or in respect of such shares on the date of forfeiture, in respect of the forfeited shares, together with interest on such amounts reckoned from the date of forfeiture until the date of payment, at such rate as the Board of Directors shall from time to time specify. However, his liability shall cease after the Company has received all the amounts called in respect of the shares. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to collect the moneys which have been forfeited, or part thereof, as it shall deem fit, but it shall not be obliged to do so.
 
38. The provisions of these Articles in regard to forfeiture shall also apply to cases of non-payment of any amount, which, according to the terms of issue of the share, or which under the conditions of allotment the due date for payment of which fell on a fixed date, whether this be on account of the nominal value of the share or in the form of a premium, as if such amount was payable pursuant to a call duly made and notified.
 
39. The Company shall have a first and paramount lien over all the shares which have not been fully paid up and which are registered in the name of any shareholder (whether individually or jointly with others) and also over the proceeds of the sale thereof, as security for the debts and obligations of such shareholder to the Company and his contractual engagements with it, either individually or together with others. This right of lien shall apply whether or not the due date for payment of such debts or the fulfillment or performance of such obligations has arrived, and no rights in equity shall be created in respect of any share, over which there is a lien as aforesaid. The aforesaid lien shall apply to all dividends or benefits which may be declared, from time to time, on such shares, unless the Board of Directors shall decide otherwise.
 
40. In order to foreclose on such lien, the Board of Directors may sell the shares under lien at such time and in such manner as, it shall deem fit, but no share may be sold unless the period referred to below has elapsed and written notice has been given to the shareholder, his trustee, liquidator, receiver, the executors of his estate, or anyone who acquires a right to shares in consequence of the bankruptcy of a shareholder, as the case may be, stating that the Company intends to sell the shares, if he or they should fail to pay the aforesaid debts, or fail to discharge or fulfill the aforesaid obligations within 14 business days from the date of the delivery of the notice.
 
41. The net proceeds of any such sale of shares, as contemplated by Article 40 above, after deduction of the expenses of the sale, shall serve for the discharge of the debts of such shareholder or for performance of such shareholder’s obligations (including debts, undertaking and contractual engagements, the due date for the payment or performance of which has arrived) and the surplus, if any, shall be paid to the shareholder, his trustee, liquidator, receiver, guardians, or the executors of his estate, or to his successors-in-title.



- 10 -

42.       In every case of a sale following forfeiture or waiver, or for purposes of executing a lien by exercising all of the powers conferred above, the Board of Directors shall be entitled to appoint a person to sign an instrument of transfer of the shares sold, and to arrange for the registration of the name of the buyer in the Register in respect of the shares sold.
 
43. An affidavit signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors that a particular share of the Company was forfeited, waived or sold by the Company by virtue of a lien, shall serve as conclusive evidence of the facts contained therein as against any person claiming a right in the share. The purchaser of a share who relies on such affidavit shall not be obliged to investigate whether the sale, re-allotment or transfer, or the amount of consideration and the manner of application of the proceeds of the sale, were lawfully effected, and after his name has been registered in the Register he shall have a full right of title to the share and such right shall not be adversely affected by a defect or invalidity which occurred in the forfeiture, waiver, sale, re-allotment or transfer of the share.

TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

44.       No transfer of shares shall be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer is delivered to the Company or to such other place specified for this purpose by the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, an instrument of transfer of a share in the Company shall be signed by the transferor and the transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share up until the time the name of the transferee is registered in the Register in respect of the transferred share.

The Board of Directors shall have the right to refuse to recognize an assignment of shares until appropriate security under the circumstances has been provided, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors in a specific case or from time to time in general.

110. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to retain any dividend or bonus shares or other beneficial rights in respect of a share in relation to which the Company has a lien, and to utilize any such amount or the proceeds received from the sale of any bonus shares or other beneficial rights, for the discharge of the debts or liabilities in respect of which the Company has a lien.

Such trustees or nominees shall be appointed for the use, collection or receipt of dividends, shares or debentures out of capital and rights to subscribe for shares which have not yet been issued and which are offered to the shareholders but they shall not be entitled to transfer the shares in respect of which they were appointed, or to vote on the basis of holding such shares. In all of the terms and conditions governing such trusts and the appointment of such nominees it shall be stipulated by the Company that upon the first demand by a beneficial holder of a share being held by the trustee or nominee, such trustee or nominee shall be obliged to return to such shareholder the share in question and/or all of those rights held by it on the shareholder’s behalf (all as the case may be). Any act or arrangement effected by any such nominees or trustee and any agreement between the Board of Directors and a nominee or trustee shall be valid and binding in all respects.
