Winding up
Subject to any particular rights or limitations for the time being attached to any shares, as
may be specified in these articles or upon which such shares may be issued, if the
Company is wound up, the assets available for distribution among the members shall be
distributed to the members
pro rata
according to the number of shares held by each
member at the time of the commencement of the winding up. If any share is not fully
paid up, that share shall only carry the right to receive a distribution calculated on the
basis of the proportion that the amount paid up on that share bears to the issue price of
that share.

Company and, for that purpose, value any assets and determine how the division
shall be carried out as between the members or different classes of members; or
(b)
vest the whole or any part of the assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit
