The Board of Directors may, before recommending any Dividend, set aside out of
the profits of the Company such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves
which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose to which
the profits of the Company may be properly applied, including provision for meeting
contingencies or for equalizing Dividends; and pending such application may, at the
like discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested
in such investments (other than Shares in the Company) as the Board may, from
time to time, think fit. The Board may also carry forward any profits, which it may
think prudent not to divide without setting them aside as a reserve.
99.
Subject to the rights of Persons, if any, entitled to Shares with special rights as to
Dividends, all such Dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts
paid or credited as paid on the Shares in respect of which the Dividend is paid, but
no amount paid or credited as paid on a Share in advance of calls shall be treated
for the purposes of these Articles as paid on the Share. All Dividends shall be
apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid or credited as paid on
the Shares during any portion or portions of the period in respect of which the
Dividend is paid; but if any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for
Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.
100.
The Directors may deduct from any Dividend payable to any Member all sums of
money, if any, presently payable by the Member, to the Company on account of
calls or otherwise in relation to the Shares of the Company.
101.
Any General Meeting declaring a Dividend or bonus may direct payment of such
Dividend or bonus wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in
particular of paid-up Shares, debentures or debenture stock of any other company
or in any one or more of such ways and the Directors shall give effect to such
resolution and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the
Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and fix the value for
distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash
payments shall be made to any Member upon the footing of the value so fixed in
order to adjust the rights of all parties, and may vest any such specific assets in
trustees as may seem expedient to the Directors.
102.
Any Dividend, interest or other money payable in cash in respect of Shares may be
paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address
of the holder, or in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of that one
of such joint holders who is first named on the Register of Members or to such
Persons and to such address as the holder or joint holders may in Writing direct.
Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the Person to
whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts
for any Dividends, bonuses, or other money payable in respect of the Shares held
by them as joint holders.

WINDING UP
103.
In the event the Company is wound up, the liquidator may with the sanction of a
Special Resolution of the Company divide amongst the Members in kind, the whole
or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they consist of property of the
same kind or not) and may for that purpose set such values as he deems fair upon
the property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall
be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The
liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of any such assets
in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator,
with the like sanction, thinks fit but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept
any Shares or other securities whereon there is any liability.
INDEMNIFICATION
104.
The Company may, in its discretion and to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, rule or regulation, indemnify any Director or officer or Secretary of
the Company or any Person employed by the Company or auditor against any
liability incurred by him by reason of any contract entered into or act or thing done
by him as an officer, Director or Secretary or in any way in the discharge of his
duties, or in defending any bona fide proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in
which judgment is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted or discharged or in
connection with any application under Section 633 of the Act in which relief is
granted to him by the Court. Such indemnity shall immediately attach as a lien on
the property of the Company and have priority as between the Members over all
other claims.
