one way and partly in another, as the directors may determine.

117. The 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 directors, be applicable for any purpose to which the profits of the company
may be properly applied 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 of the company, as the directors may from time to time think fit. The directors
may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any profits which they may think prudent not to divide.
118. Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with special rights as to dividend, all dividends shall be declared and paid
according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the shares in respect whereof 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 this regulation 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 such share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

120. 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 in particular may issue fractional certificates 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 members 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.
121. Any dividend, interest or other moneys 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 the joint holders
who is first named on the register of members or to such person 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 moneys payable in respect of the shares held by them as joint holders.
122. No dividend shall bear interest against the company.
