PROPOSAL NO. 1
AMENDMENT TO THE VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES
The Board of Directors deems it advisable and is recommending that our shareholders approve that the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company be amended and restated by the deletion of Clause 8 of the Current Effective M&AA in its entirety, and references to Clause 8 in Clause 12 of the Current Effective M&AA, which reflects the amendment on the shareholding requirement for variation of rights of shares of the Company. By deleting Claus 8 and references to Clause 8 in Clause 12 of the Current Effective M&AA, the rights attached to Ordinary Shares may be varied with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of less than 50 per cent of the issued shares of that class.
The Clause 8 and Clause 12 of the Current Effective M&AA read as below:
| 8. | VARIATION OF RIGHTS |
The rights attached to Shares as specified in Clause 7 may only, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied with the consent in writing of or by a resolution passed at a meeting by the holders of more than 50 per cent of the issued Shares of that class.
| 12. | AMENDMENT OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES |
Subject to Clause 8, the Company may amend its Memorandum or Articles by a Resolution of Shareholders or by a Resolution of Directors, save that no amendment may be made by a Resolution of Directors:
| (a) | to restrict the rights or powers of the Shareholders to amend the Memorandum or Articles; |
| (b) | to change the percentage of Shareholders required to pass a Resolution of Shareholders to amend the Memorandum or Articles; |
| (c) | in circumstances where the Memorandum or Articles cannot be amended by the Shareholders; or |
| (d) | to Clauses 7, 8 or 9 or this Clause 12. |
The resolution to be proposed shall be as follows:
RESOLVED AS A RESOLUTION, that the Current Effective M&AA of the Company be amended and restated by the deletion of Clause 8 in its entirety, and references to Clause 8 in Clause 12, which reflects the amendment on the shareholding requirement for variation of rights of shares of the Company.
Proposal No. 1 will be approved if the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by duly authorized representative or by proxy at the Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Meeting vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.
The Amendment to the Variation of Rights of Shares will become effective upon approval of our shareholders.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR
AMENDMENT TO THE VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES.

PROPOSAL NO. 2(a)
RE-DESIGNATION AND RE-CLASSIFICATION OF SHARES
The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, that subject to the passing of Proposal No. 1, that the Company’s maximum number of shares authorised to be issued being 1,500,000,000 shares of US$0.0001 par value each, be and is hereby re-classified and re-designated (the “Re-Designation and Re-classification”) as 1,500,000,000 shares in aggregate divided into 900,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each with 1 vote per share (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and 600,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each with 20 votes per share (“Class B Ordinary Shares”), and that the current issued and outstanding 16,462,500 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.0001 each be and are re-classified and re-designated as Class A Ordinary Shares.
Following the Re-Designation and Re-classification, each Class A Ordinary Share would be entitled to one vote and each Class B Ordinary Share would be entitled to 20 votes on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company and with such other rights, preferences, and privileges as set forth in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.
In addition, all Class B Ordinary Shares will be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.
The resolution to be proposed shall be as follows:
RESOLVED AS A RESOLUTION, that the Company’s maximum number of shares authorised to be issued being 1,500,000,000 shares of US$0.0001 par value each, be and is hereby re-classified and re-designated as 1,500,000,000 shares in aggregate divided into 900,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each with 1 vote per share, and 600,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares with a par value of US$0.0001 each with 20 votes per share, and THAT the current issued and outstanding 16,462,500 ordinary shares of par value of US$0.0001 each be and are re-classified and re-designated as Class A Ordinary Shares.
Proposal No. 2(a) will be approved if the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes of the ordinary shares entitled to vote thereon which are present in person or by duly authorized representative or by proxy at the Meeting by the holders of ordinary shares of the Company entitled to vote at the Meeting vote “FOR” the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the result of the vote.
The Re-Designation and Re-classification of Shares will become effective upon approval of our shareholders.
The proposed Re-Designation and Re-classification will not affect in any way the validity or transferability of share certificates outstanding, the capital structure of the Company or the trading of the Company’s shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the amendment is passed by our shareholders, it will not be necessary for shareholders to surrender their existing share certificates. Instead, when certificates are presented for transfer, new certificates representing Class A Ordinary Shares or Class B Ordinary Shares, as the case may be, will be issued.
Future issuances of Class B Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Class B Ordinary Shares could have a dilutive effect on our earnings per share, book value per share, and the voting power and interest of current holders of ordinary shares. In addition, the availability of additional shares of Class A Ordinary Shares for issuance could, under certain circumstances, discourage or make more difficult any efforts to obtain control of the Company. The Board of Directors is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, nor is this proposal being presented with the intent that it be used to prevent or discourage any acquisition attempt. However, nothing would prevent the Board of Directors from taking any such actions that it deems to be consistent with its fiduciary duties.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS
A VOTE FOR
THE RE-DESIGNATION AND RE-CLASSIFICATION OF SHARES.

PROPOSAL NO. 2(b)

The Board of Directors approved, and directed that there be submitted to the shareholders of the Company for approval, that subject to the passing of Proposal No. 1, the Board of Directors deems it advisable and is recommending that our shareholders approve and adopt the Amended M&A attached hereto as Appendix A.
The Amended M&A, in clauses 6 and 7 of the memorandum of association, reflects the proposed dual-class share structure and set out the rights and privileges of Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares (which are the subject of Proposal 2(a)). The clauses 6 and 7 of the Amended M&A will read as below.

| 1.2 | Any Shareholder receiving a certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its directors and officers harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or lost it may be renewed on production of the worn out certificate or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required by a Resolution of Directors. |
| 1.3 | If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution. |

| (a) | the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares; and |
| 6 of 23 |
| (b) | that, in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration and money consideration, if any, is not less than the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares. |
| 2.5 | The Company shall keep a register (register of members) containing: |
| (a) | the names and addresses of the Eligible Persons who hold Shares; |
| (b) | the number of each class and series of Shares held by each Shareholder; |

| 2.6 | The register of members may be in any such form as the directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until the directors otherwise determine, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original register of members. |

| 3.1 | The Company may purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire and hold its own Shares save that the Company may not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire its own Shares without the consent of Shareholders whose Shares are to be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired unless the Company is permitted by the Act or any other provision in the Memorandum or Articles to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Shares without their consent. |
| 3.2 | The Company may only offer to acquire Shares if at the relevant time the directors determine by Resolution of Directors that immediately after the acquisition the value of the Company’s assets will exceed its liabilities and the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due. |

| 7 of 23 |
| 3.6 | Treasury Shares may be disposed of by the Company on such terms and conditions (not otherwise inconsistent with the Memorandum and Articles) as the Company may by Resolution of Directors determine. |
| 3.7 | Where Shares are held by another body corporate of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 per cent of the votes in the election of directors of the other body corporate, all rights and obligations attaching to the Shares held by the other body corporate are suspended and shall not be exercised by the other body corporate. |

| (a) | with the written consent of the named mortgagee or chargee or anyone authorised to act on his behalf; or |
| (b) | upon evidence satisfactory to the directors of the discharge of the liability secured by the mortgage or charge and the issue of such indemnities as the directors shall consider necessary or desirable. |
| 4.4 | Whilst particulars of a mortgage or charge over Shares are entered in the register of members pursuant to this Regulation: |
| (a) | no transfer of any Share the subject of those particulars shall be effected; |

| 8 of 23 |
| 5. | FORFEITURE |
| 5.1 | Shares that are not fully paid on issue are subject to the forfeiture provisions set forth in this Regulation and for this purpose Shares issued for a promissory note or a contract for future services are deemed to be not fully paid. |
| 5.2 | A written notice of call specifying the date for payment to be made shall be served on the Shareholder who defaults in making payment in respect of the Shares. |
| 5.3 | The written notice of call referred to in Sub-Regulation 5.2 shall name a further date not earlier than the expiration of 14 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 contain a statement that in the event of non-payment at or before the time named in the notice the Shares, or any of them, in respect of which payment is not made will be liable to be forfeited. |
| 5.4 | Where a written notice of call has been issued pursuant to Sub-Regulation 5.3 and the requirements of the notice have not been complied with, the directors may, at any time before tender of payment, forfeit and cancel the Shares to which the notice relates. |
| 5.5 | The Company is under no obligation to refund any moneys to the Shareholder whose Shares have been cancelled pursuant to Sub-Regulation 5.4 and that Shareholder shall be discharged from any further obligation to the Company. |

| 6.2 | The transfer of a Share is effective when the name of the transferee is entered on the register of members. |
| 6.3 | If the directors of the Company are satisfied that an instrument of transfer relating to Shares has been signed but that the instrument has been lost or destroyed, they may resolve by Resolution of Directors: |
| (a) | to accept such evidence of the transfer of Shares as they consider appropriate; and |

| 6.4 | Subject to the Memorandum, the personal representative of a deceased Shareholder may transfer a Share even though the personal representative is not a Shareholder at the time of the transfer. |
| 9 of 23 |
| 7. | MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF SHAREHOLDERS |
| 7.1 | Any director of the Company may convene meetings of the Shareholders at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the director considers necessary or desirable. |
| 7.2 | Upon the written request of Shareholders entitled to exercise 30 per cent or more of the voting rights in respect of the matter for which the meeting is requested the directors shall convene a meeting of Shareholders. |
| 7.3 | The director convening a meeting shall give not less than seven days’ notice of a meeting of Shareholders to: |
| (a) | those Shareholders whose names on the date the notice is given appear as Shareholders in the register of members of the Company and are entitled to vote at the meeting; and |
| (b) | the other directors. |
| 7.4 | The director convening a meeting of Shareholders may fix as the record date for determining those Shareholders that are entitled to vote at the meeting the date notice is given of the meeting, or such other date as may be specified in the notice, being a date not earlier than the date of the notice. |
| 7.5 | A meeting of Shareholders held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if Shareholders holding at least 90 per cent of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a Shareholder at the meeting shall constitute waiver in relation to all the Shares which that Shareholder holds. |
| 7.6 | The inadvertent failure of a director who convenes a meeting to give notice of a meeting to a Shareholder or another director, or the fact that a Shareholder or another director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting. |
| 7.7 | A Shareholder may be represented at a meeting of Shareholders by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Shareholder. |
| 7.8 | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote. The notice of the meeting may specify an alternative or additional place or time at which the proxy shall be presented. |
| 7.9 | The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form or such other form as the chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the Shareholder appointing the proxy. |

Shareholder
| 7.10 | The following applies where Shares are jointly owned: |
| (a) | if two or more persons hold Shares jointly each of them may be present in person or by proxy at a meeting of Shareholders and may speak as a Shareholder; |
| (b) | if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and |
| (c) | if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one. |
| 7.11 | A Shareholder shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Shareholders if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Shareholders participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. |
| 7.12 | A meeting of Shareholders is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than one Shareholder who holds the Shares or class or series of Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Shareholders to be considered at the meeting. |
| 7.13 | If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place or to such other time and place as the directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one Shareholder who holds the Shares or class or series of Shares entitled to vote on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall be dissolved. |
| 11 of 23 |
| 7.14 | At every meeting of Shareholders, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Shareholders present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman. If the Shareholders are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Shareholder or representative of a Shareholder present shall take the chair. |
| 7.15 | The chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. |
| 7.16 | At any meeting of the Shareholders the chairman is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Shareholder present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. |
| 7.17 | Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Eligible Persons other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Shareholder shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Eligible Person is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the directors may in good faith seek legal advice from any qualified person and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Shareholder or the Company. |
| 7.18 | Any Eligible Person other than an individual which is a Shareholder may by resolution of its directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Shareholders or of any class of Shareholders, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Eligible Person which he represents as that Eligible Person could exercise if it were an individual. |
| 7.19 | The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Eligible Person other than an individual may call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within seven days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Eligible Person shall be disregarded. |
| 12 of 23 |
| 7.20 | Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Shareholders and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares. |
| 7.21 | An action that may be taken by the Shareholders at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Shareholders consented to in writing, without the need for any notice, but if any Resolution of Shareholders is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Shareholders, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Shareholders not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Shareholders. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Shareholders have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. |
| 8. | DIRECTORS |
| 8.1 | The first directors of the Company shall be appointed by the first registered agent within six months of the date of incorporation of the Company; and thereafter, the directors shall be elected by Resolution of Shareholders or by Resolution of Directors for such term as the Shareholders or directors determine. |
| 8.2 | No person shall be appointed as a director of the Company unless he has consented in writing to act as a director. |
| 8.3 | The minimum number of directors shall be one and the maximum number shall be 12. |
| 8.4 | Each director holds office for the term, if any, fixed by the Resolution of Shareholders or Resolution of Directors appointing him, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. If no term is fixed on the appointment of a director, the director serves indefinitely until his earlier death, resignation or removal. |
| 8.5 | A director may be removed from office, |
| (a) | with or without cause, by a Resolution of Shareholders passed at a meeting of Shareholders called for the purposes of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director or by a written resolution passed by at least seventy five per cent of the votes of the Shareholders entitled to vote; or |
| (b) | with cause, by a Resolution of Directors passed at a meeting of directors called for the purpose of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director. |
| 8.6 | A director may resign his office by giving written notice of his resignation to the Company and the resignation has effect from the date the notice is received by the Company at the office of its registered agent or from such later date as may be specified in the notice. A director shall resign forthwith as a director if he is, or becomes, disqualified from acting as a director under the Act. |
| 13 of 23 |
| 8.7 | The directors may at any time appoint any person to be a director either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. Where the directors appoint a person as director to fill a vacancy, the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the person who has ceased to be a director ceased to hold office. |
| 8.8 | A vacancy in relation to directors occurs if a director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office. |
| 8.9 | The Company shall keep a register of directors containing: |
| (a) | the names and addresses of the persons who are directors of the Company; |
| (b) | the date on which each person whose name is entered in the register was appointed as a director of the Company; |
| (c) | the date on which each person named as a director ceased to be a director of the Company; and |
| (d) | such other information as may be prescribed by the Act. |
| 8.10 | The register of directors may be kept in any such form as the directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage shall be the original register of directors. |
| 8.11 | The directors may, by a Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company. |
| 8.12 | A director is not required to hold a Share as a qualification to office. |
| 9. | POWERS OF DIRECTORS |
| 9.1 | The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the directors of the Company. The directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders. |
| 9.2 | Each director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the director believes to be the best interests of the Company. |
| 9.3 | If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company. |
| 14 of 23 |
| 9.4 | Any director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise. |
| 9.5 | The continuing directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body. |
| 9.6 | The directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to guarantee and/or secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party. |
| 9.7 | All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors. |
| 9.8 | For the purposes of Section 175 (Disposition of assets) of the Act, the directors may by Resolution of Directors determine that any sale, transfer, lease, exchange or other disposition is in the usual or regular course of the business carried on by the Company and such determination is, in the absence of fraud, conclusive. |
| 10. | PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS |
| 10.1 | Any one director of the Company may call a meeting of the directors by sending a written notice to each other director. |
| 10.2 | The directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the directors may determine to be necessary or desirable. |
| 10.3 | A director is deemed to be present at a meeting of directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. |
| 10.4 | A director shall be given not less than three days’ notice of meetings of directors, but a meeting of directors held without three days’ notice having been given to all directors shall be valid if all the directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a director, or the fact that a director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting. |
| 10.5 | A director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a director and the alternate shall be entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the director until the appointment lapses or is terminated. |
| 15 of 23 |
| 10.6 | A meeting of directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of directors, unless there are only two directors in which case the quorum is two. |
| 10.7 | If the Company has only one director the provisions herein contained for meetings of directors do not apply and such sole director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Shareholders. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes. |
| 10.8 | At meetings of directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. |
| 10.9 | An action that may be taken by the directors or a committee of directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of directors consented to in writing by all directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. |
| 11. | COMMITTEES |
| 11.1 | The directors may, by Resolution of Directors, designate one or more committees, each consisting of one or more directors, and delegate one or more of their powers, including the power to affix the Seal, to the committee. |
| 11.2 | The directors have no power to delegate to a committee of directors any of the following powers: |
| (a) | to amend the Memorandum or the Articles; |
| (b) | to designate committees of directors; |
| (c) | to delegate powers to a committee of directors; |
| (d) | to appoint directors; |
| (e) | to appoint an agent; |
| (f) | to approve a plan of merger, consolidation or arrangement; or |
| (g) | to make a declaration of solvency or to approve a liquidation plan. |
| 16 of 23 |
| 11.3 | Sub-Regulations 11.2(b) and 11.2(c) do not prevent a committee of directors, where authorised by the Resolution of Directors appointing such committee or by a subsequent Resolution of Directors, from appointing a sub-committee and delegating powers exercisable by the committee to the sub-committee. |
| 11.4 | The meetings and proceedings of each committee of directors consisting of two or more directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee. |
| 11.5 | Where the directors delegate their powers to a committee of directors they remain responsible for the exercise of that power by the committee, unless they believed on reasonable grounds at all times before the exercise of the power that the committee would exercise the power in conformity with the duties imposed on directors of the Company under the Act. |
| 12. | OFFICERS AND AGENTS |
| 12.1 | The Company may by Resolution of Directors appoint officers of the Company at such times as may be considered necessary or expedient. Such officers may consist of a Chairman of the Board of Directors, a president and one or more vice-presidents, secretaries and treasurers and such other officers as may from time to time be considered necessary or expedient. Any number of offices may be held by the same person. |
| 12.2 | The officers shall perform such duties as are prescribed at the time of their appointment subject to any modification in such duties as may be prescribed thereafter by Resolution of Directors. In the absence of any specific prescription of duties it shall be the responsibility of the Chairman of the Board to preside at meetings of directors and Shareholders, the president to manage the day to day affairs of the Company, the vice-presidents to act in order of seniority in the absence of the president but otherwise to perform such duties as may be delegated to them by the president, the secretaries to maintain the register of members, minute books and records (other than financial records) of the Company and to ensure compliance with all procedural requirements imposed on the Company by applicable law, and the treasurer to be responsible for the financial affairs of the Company. |
| 12.3 | The emoluments of all officers shall be fixed by Resolution of Directors. |
| 12.4 | The officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are duly appointed, but any officer elected or appointed by the directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by Resolution of Directors. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company may be filled by Resolution of Directors. |
| 12.5 | The directors may, by a Resolution of Directors, appoint any person, including a person who is a director, to be an agent of the Company. An agent of the Company shall have such powers and authority of the directors, including the power and authority to affix the Seal, as are set forth in the Articles or in the Resolution of Directors appointing the agent, except that no agent has any power or authority with respect to the matters specified in Sub-Regulation 11.2. The Resolution of Directors appointing an agent may authorise the agent to appoint one or more substitutes or delegates to exercise some or all of the powers conferred on the agent by the Company. The directors may remove an agent appointed by the Company and may revoke or vary a power conferred on him. For the purposes of this paragraph “agent” includes an attorney under a power of attorney. |

| 13. | CONFLICT OF INTERESTS |
| 13.1 | A director of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other directors of the Company. |
| 13.2 | For the purposes of Sub-Regulation 13.1, a disclosure to all other directors to the effect that a director is a member, director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. |
| 13.3 | A director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may: |
| (a) | vote on a matter relating to the transaction; |
| (b) | attend a meeting of directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and |
| (c) | sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a director, that relates to the transaction, |
and, subject to compliance with the Act shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit.
| 14. | INDEMNIFICATION |
| 14.1 | Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company shall indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who: |
| (a) | is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Company; or |
| 18 of 23 |
| (b) | is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. |
| 14.2 | The indemnity in Sub-Regulation 14.1 only applies if the person acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. |
