and so that the Directors may impose any limits or restrictions and make any arrangements which the Directors consider necessary or appropriate to deal with fractional entitlements, treasury shares, record dates or any legal, regulatory or practical problems in, or under the laws of, any territory or the requirements of any regulatory authority or stock exchange in any territory or otherwise; and
