the date of the sale.
16. No member shall be entitled to receive any dividend or to exercise
any privileges as a member until he shall have paid all calls for the time
being due and payable on every share held by him, whether alone
or jointly with any other person, together with interest and expenses
(if any).
CALLS ON SHARES
17. The directors may from time to time make calls upon the members in
respect of any money unpaid on their shares (whether on account of the
nominal value of the shares or by way of premium) and not by the
conditions of allotment thereof made payable at fixed times, provided
that no call shall exceed one-fourth of the nominal value of the share or
be payable at less than one month from the date fixed for the payment of
the last preceding call, and each member shall (subject to receiving at
least fourteen days' notice specifying the time or times and place of
payment) pay to the Company at the time or times and place so specified
the amount called on his shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as
the directors may determine.

required to be paid by instalments.

to pay all calls in respect thereof.

thereof to the time of actual payment at such rate not exceeding 8 per
cent per annum as the directors may determine, but the directors shall be
at liberty to waive payment of that interest wholly or in part.
21. Any sum which by the terms of issue of a share becomes payable on
allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal value
of the share or by way of premium, shall for the purposes of these
articles be deemed to be a call duly made and payable on the date on
which by the terms of issue the same becomes payable, and in case of
non-payment all the relevant provisions of these articles as to payment of
interest and expenses, forfeiture, or otherwise shall apply as if the sum
had become payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.
22. The directors may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the
holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.
23. The directors may, if they think fit, receive from any member
willing to advance the same all or any part of the money uncalled and unpaid
upon any shares held by him, and upon all or any part of the money so
advance may (until the same would, but for the advance, become
payable) pay interest at such rate not exceeding (unless the Company in
general meeting shall otherwise direct) 8 per cent per annum as may be
agreed upon between the directors and the member paying the sum in
advance.
TRANSFER OF SHARES
24. Subject to these articles any member may transfer all or any of
his shares by instrument in writing in any usual or common form or
in any other form which the directors may approve. The instrument
shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and the transferor

registered and the name of the transferee is entered in the register of
members in respect thereof.
25. The instrument of transfer must be left for registration at the
registered office of the Company together with such fee not exceeding SS1.00 as
of the directors from time to time may require, accompanied by the
certificate of the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the
directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to
make the transfer, and thereupon the Company shall subject to the
▇▇▇▇▇▇ vested in the directors by these articles register the transferee as
a shareholder and retain the instrument of transfer.
26. The directors may decline to register any transfer of shares not being
fully paid shares to a person of whom they do not approve and may
also decline to register any transfer of shares on which the Company
has a lien.
27. The registration of transfers may be suspended at such times and for
such periods as the directors may from time to time determine not
exceeding in the whole thirty days in any year.
TRANSMISSION OF SHARES
28. In case of the death of a member the survivor or survivors where
the deceased was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives
of the deceased where he was a sole holder, shall be the only persons
recognised by the Company as having any title to his interest in the
shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a
deceased joint holder from any liability in respect of any share which
had been jointly held by him with other persons.
29. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death
or bankruptcy of a member may, upon such evidence being produced
as may from time to time properly be required by the directors and
subject as hereinafter provided, elect either to be registered himself
as holder of the share or to have some person nominated by him
registered as the transferee thereof, but the directors shall in either case
have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would
have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that member before his
death or bankruptcy.
30. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself,
he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by
him stating that he so elects. If he elects to have another person
registered he shall testify his election by executing to that person a
transfer of the share. All the limitations, restrictions, and provisions of
these articles relating to the right to transfer and the registration of
transfers of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or transfer as
aforesaid as if the death or bankruptcy of the member had not occurred
and the notice or transfer were a transfer signed by that member.
31. Where the registered holder of any share dies or becomes bankrupt;
his personal representative or the assignee of his estate, as the case may be
shall, upon the production of such evidence as may from time to time
be properly required by the directors in that behalf, be entitled to the
same dividends and other advantages, and to the same rights
(whether in relation to meetings of the Company, or to voting, or
otherwise), as the registered holder would have been entitled to if he had
not died or become bankrupt; and where two or more persons are jointly
entitled to any share in consequence of the death of the registered holder
they shall, for the purposes of these articles, be deemed to be joint
holders of the share.
FORFEITURE OF SHARES
32. If a member fails to pay any call or instalment of a call on the day
appointed for payment thereof, the directors may, at any time
thereafter during such time as any part of the call or instalment
remains unpaid, serve a notice on him requiring payment of so much of
the call or instalment as is unpaid; together with any interest which may
have accrued.
33. The notice shall name a further day (not earlier than the expiration of
fourteen days from the date of service of the notice) on or before which
the payment required by the notice is to be made and shall state that in
the event of non-payment at or before the time appointed the shares in
respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.
34. If the requirements of any such notice as aforesaid are not
complied with, any share in respect of which the notice has been given may at
any time thereafter, before the payment required by the notice has been
made, be forfeited by a resolution of the directors to that effect. Such
forfeiture shall include all dividends declared in respect of the forfeited
shares and not actually paid before the forfeiture.
35. A forfeited share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such
terms and in such manner as the directors think fit, and at any time before a
sale or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the
directors think fit.
36. A person whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a
member in respect of the forfeited shares but shall, notwithstanding, remain
liable to pay to the Company all money which, at the date of forfeiture,
was payable by him to the Company in respect of the shares (together
with interest at the rate of 8 per cent per annum from the date of
forfeiture on the money for the tune being unpaid if the directors think
fit to enforce payment of such interest), but his liability shall cease if and
when the Company receives payment in full of all such money in respect
of the shares.
37. A Statutory Declaration in writing that the declarant is a director or
secretary of the Company, and that a share in the Company has been
duly forfeited on a date stated in the declaration, shall be conclusive
evidence of the facts therein stated as against all persons claiming to be
entitled to the share.
38. The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a
forfeited share on any sale or disposition thereof and may execute a
transfer of the share in favour of the person to whom the share is sold
or disposed of and he shall thereupon be registered as the holder of the

of stock transferable and restrict or forbid the transfer of fractions of that

held by them have the same rights, privileges and advantages as regards

share is derived;
(d) cancel shares which at the date of the passing of the resolution
in that behalf have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person or which

directors resolve that it is desirable to capitalise any part of the amount
for the time being standing to the credit of any of the Company's reserve
accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or
otherwise available for distribution, and accordingly that such sum
be set free for distribution amongst the members who would have
been entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same
proportions on condition that the same be not paid in cash but be
applied either in or towards paying up any amounts for the time being
unpaid on any shares held by such members respectively or paying up
in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company to be allotted,
distributed and credited as fully paid up to and amongst such members
in the proportion aforesaid, or partly in the one way and partly in the
other, and the directors shall give effect to such resolution. A share
premium account and a capital redemption reserve may, for the
purposes of this article, be applied only in the paying up of unissued
shares to be issued to members of the Company as fully paid bonus
shares.
113. Whenever such a resolution as aforesaid shall have been passed
the directors shall make all appropriations and applications of the
undivided profits resolved to be capitalised thereby, and all allotments
and issued of fully paid shares or debentures, if any, and generally shall
do all acts and things required to give effect thereto, with full power to
the directors to make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates
or by payment in cash or otherwise as they think fit for the case of shares
or debentures becoming distributable in fractions, and also to authorise
any person to enter on behalf of all the members entitled thereto into an
agreement with the Company providing for the allotment to them
respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any further shares or
debentures to which they may be entitled upon such capitalisations, or,
as the case may require, for the payment- up by the Company on their
behalf, by the application thereto of their respective proportions of the
profits resolved to be capitalise, of the amounts or any part of the
amounts remaining unpaid on their existing shares, and any agreement
made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such
members.
AUDIT
114. Once at least in every year the accounts of the Company shall be
examined, and the correctness of the profit and loss account and
balance sheet ascertained by one or more Auditor or Auditors, and the
provisions of the Act and any modification or re-enactment thereof for
the time being in force in regard to audit and Auditors shall be observed.
NOTICES
115. A notice may be given by the Company to any member either
personally or by sending it by post or by facsimile to him at his
registered address supplied by him to the Company supplied by him
to the Company for the giving of notices to him. Where a notice is sent
by post, service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly
addressing, pre-paying, and posting a letter containing the notice, and to
have been effected in the case of a notice of a meeting on the day after
the date of its posting, and in any other case at the time at which the
letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.
116. A notice may be given by the Company to the joint holders of a share
by giving the notice to the joint holder first named in the register of
members in respect of the share.
117. A notice may be given by the Company to the persons entitled to a
share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a member by
sending it through the post in a prepaid letter addressed to them by
name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or assignee of
the bankrupt, or by any like description, at the address, if any, in
Singapore supplied for the purpose by the persons claiming to be so
entitled, or, until such an address has been so supplied, by giving the
notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the
death or bankruptcy had not occurred.
118. (a) Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner
hereinbefore authorised to:-
(i) every member;
(ii) every person entitled to a share in consequence of the
death or bankruptcy of a member who, but for his death
or bankruptcy, would be entitled to receive notice of the
meeting; and
(iii) the auditor for the time being of the Company.
(b) No other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general
meetings.
WINDING UP
119. If 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 value as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid
and may determine how the 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.
INDEMNITY
120. Every director, managing director, agent, auditor, secretary and
other offices for the time being of the Company shall be indemnified out of
the assets of the Company against any liability incurred by him in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which
judgement is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted or in
connection with any application under the Act in which relief is granted
to him by the Court in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty
or breach of trust.
