from voting, and give specific instruction to the proxies on the voting of each meeting item. The power of attorney shall
indicate that the proxy may vote at his own discretion if the shareholder makes no instruction.

Art. 81. If the principal dies, loses his/her civil capacity, cancels the authorization, withdraws the authorization to sign

the power of attorney, or relevant shares have been transferred prior to the voting, the proxy's voting in accordance
with the power of attorney remains valid as long as the Bank does not receive the written notice on such matters before
the commencement of the relevant meeting.

Art. 82. The Bank shall hold the Shareholders' General Meeting at the Bank's domicile or other definite place.

majeure, it shall not lay aside or withhold voting upon any proposal.
