(2)
Allot to every shareholder, who holds a fraction of a share resulting from a consolidation and/or split, shares of the class that existed prior to the consolidation and/or split, in a quantity that, when consolidated with the fraction, will constitute a whole share, and such allotment will be considered valid immediately prior to the consolidation or split;
 
(3)
Determine the manner for paying the amounts to be paid for shares allotted in accordance with Article 27(c)(2) above, including on account of bonus shares; and/or

At such adjourned general meeting any number of shareholders shall constitute a quorum for the business for which the original general meeting was called.

39.
The Chairman shall preside as the chairman at every general meeting, but if there shall be no such Chairman or if at any meeting the Chairman shall not be present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the same, or shall be unwilling to act as chairman, then the Board members present at the meeting shall choose one of the Board members as chairman of the meeting and if they shall not do so then the shareholders present shall choose a Board member, or if no Board member be present or if all the Board members present decline to take the chair, they shall choose any other person present to be chairman of the meeting.

Except as may be required by the Law, no shareholder shall be entitled to any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting. No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.
 
41.
A vote in respect of the election of the chairman of the meeting or regarding a resolution to adjourn the meeting shall be carried out immediately. All other matters shall be voted upon during the meeting at such time and order as decided by the chairman of the general meeting.

If two or more persons are jointly entitled to a share, the vote of the senior one who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other registered holders of the share, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register.
 
46.
A proxyholder need not be a shareholder of the Company.
 
47.
The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing signed by the appointer or of his attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

48.
Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the instrument of appointment must be submitted to the Office no later than 48 hours prior to the general meeting to be attended by such proxy or representative.

49.
A proxy may be appointed in respect of only some of the shares held by a shareholder, and a shareholder may appoint more than one proxy, each empowered to vote by virtue of a portion of the shares.

A proxy instrument may include resolutions pertaining to such issues which are permitted to be included in a proxy instrument according to the Statutes, and such other issues which the Board may decide, in a certain instance or in general, to allow voting through a proxy. A shareholder voting or abstaining through a proxy instrument shall be taken into account in determining the presence of a quorum as if such shareholder is present at the meeting.
 
52.
The chairman of the general meeting shall be responsible for recording the minutes of the general meeting and any resolution adopted.

The number of directors on the Board shall be no less than five (5) but no more than nine (9), including any External Directors required to be appointed by the Companies Law (if required).

56.
The directors, excluding the External Directors, shall be classified, with respect to the term for which they each severally hold office, into three classes, as nearly equal in number as practicable, hereby designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The Board may assign members of the Board already in office to such classes at the time such classification becomes effective.

56.2.
The term of office of the initial Class II directors shall expire at the first Annual Meeting following the Annual Meeting referred to in Article 56.1 above and when their successors are elected and qualified, and
 
56.3.

57.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each director shall serve until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until such earlier time as such director’s office is vacated.
 
Page 11 of 20

58.
The Board may at any time and from time to time appoint any person as a director to fill a vacancy (whether such vacancy is due to a director no longer serving or due to the number of directors serving being less than the maximum number stated in Article 55 above). In the event of one or more such vacancies in the Board, the continuing directors may continue to act in every matter; provided, however, that if their number is less than the minimum number provided for pursuant to Article 55 above, they may only act in an emergency or to fill the office of a director which has become vacant up to a number equal to the minimum number provided for pursuant to Article 55 above. The office of a director that was appointed by the Board to fill any vacancy shall only be for the remaining period of time during which the director whose service has ended was filled would have held office, or in case of a vacancy due to the number of directors serving being less than the maximum number stated in Article 55 above, the Board shall determine at the time of appointment the class pursuant to Article 56 above, to which the additional director shall be assigned. Other than as provided in this Article 58, directors may be elected only at Annual Meetings.
 
59.
The term of office of a director shall commence on the date of such director’s election by the Annual Meeting or by the Board or on a later date, should such date be determined in the resolution of appointment of the Annual Meeting or of the Board. An Annual Meeting may dismiss a director during the term only by a Special Majority vote (except for External Directors, who may be dismissed only as set forth under the Law).
