All redemption of the Series B RCPS shall be effected at the registered office of the Company unless agreed otherwise by the holder(s) of the Series B RCPS and the Company.  On the date fixed for redemption, the holder(s) of the Series B RCPS shall deliver to the Company the share certificate(s) for the relevant Series B RCPS in exchange for payment in cash (by way of bank draft or any other manner acceptable to the holder(s)) by the Company of the aggregate Redemption Price for the time being payable for those Series B RCPS.  If any share certificate so delivered to the Company relates to any Series B RCPS which are not to be redeemed on that day, a fresh share certificate for those Series B RCPS shall be issued by the Company to such holder(s).
 
No Series B RCPS redeemed by the Company shall be capable of reissue.
