And further that until such time as the said 375.000 new Shares shall be fully paid they shall vis-a-vis the said $75,000 old Shares, rank for dividend only in proportion to the ratio borne by the amount paid up thereon to the full nominal value 1810 thereof, and that any of the said 375,000 new Shares which shall not be taken up by the Company's Shareholders in manner aforesaid be disposed of in such manner as the Company's Board of Directors' shall think fit."

The alteration of the minimum number of Directora to "four and of the maximum number to seves.

(6) The addition of an Article enabling the Company to bare on Official Seal and Local Registers in places outside the Colony.
