TRADE SECRETS 125. No member shall be entitled to require- or receive any information concerning any detail of the Company's business, trading, or customers, or any matter which is or may be in the nature of a trade secret, mystery of trade, or secret process which may relate to the business of the Company and which in the opinion of the Directors it will be inexpedient in the interests of the Company to communicate, beyond such information as is by these Articles or by statute directed to be laid before the Company in general meeting ; and no member shall be entitled to inspection of any books, papers, correspondence, or documents of the Company except so far as such inspection is expressly authorized by statute or by these presents. REPEAL OF PRIOR ARTICLES 126. The Articles which heretofore and up to this date have been in force are hereby repealed, and these Articles now passed by special resolution in accordance with the Companies Act, 1933, and the Dairy Industry Act, 1908, and its amendments are adopted in lieu of such former Articles, and these new Articles shall henceforth operate and apply as effectually as if they had been adopted originally upon the formation of the Company. WINDING-UP 127. If the Company shall be wound up and the assets available for distribution amongst the members as such shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the paid-up capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the members in proportion to the capital paid up or which ought to have been paid up at the commencement of the winding-up on the shares held by them respectively, other than amounts paid in advance of calls. And if in a winding-up the assets available for distribution amongst the members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding-up, the excess shall be distributed amongst the members in proportion to the capital paid up at the commencement of the winding-up or which ought to have been paid up on the shares held by them respectively, other than amounts paid in advance of calls. But this clause is to be without prejudice to the rights of the holders shares issued upon special terms and conditions. VALIDATING CLAUSE 128. The special resolution repealing the Articles of Association of the Company in existence prior to the adoption by the Company of these Articles shall not affect anything done or purporting to have been done under the Articles so repealed; and all resolutions passed at any meeting of the Company or of the Directors and all contracts entered into, liabilities incurred, shares or debentures issued, mortgages or other securities given, and all arrangements made and existing for dividing the shares of the Company in different classes and for attaching thereto various rights or liabilities, privileges, burdens, or obligations whatsoever, and all other acts, deeds, matters, things, and appointments made, done, or entered into by the Company or the Directors are hereby confirmed, notwithstanding any irregularity or defect that may have existed in connection therewith under any of the repealed Articles. NOTICES 129. (1) A document may be served on the Company by leaving it at the Company's Registered Office, or by sending it through the post in a registered letter addressed to the Company at that office. (2) Any document to be served by post on the Company shall be posted in such time as to admit of its being delivered in the due course of post within the period (if any) prescribed for the service thereof; and in proving service of any such document it shall be sufficient to prove that it was properly directed and that, it was duly put into the post-office as a registered letter. 130. In cases not hereinbefore specially provided for, notices may be served by the Company upon any member either personally, or by leaving the same at, or by sending the same through the post addressed to such member at, his registered address or his usual or last-known place of abode or business. 131. Any notice requiring authentication by the Company may be signed by a Director, Manager, or other officer of the Company, and need not be under the common seal of the Company; and the same may be in writing or in print or partly in writing and partly in print. The signature to any notice to be given by the Company may be written, typewritten, or printed. 132. Notices to be given to the members shall, with respect to any share to which persons are jointly entitled, be given to whichever of such persons is named first in the Register of members, and notice so given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such share. 133. Any notice if served by post shall be deemed to have been served at the time when the letter containing the same is put into the post-office; and in proving such service a statement by the Secretary that the notice was posted by him or under his direction to the address of any member shall be conclusive evidence of the fact.
