                spouse and children under the age of 20 to use the facilities of the Club. In the event

                time, subject to compliance with the regulations of the Club and payment of such fee
                as shall from time to time be determined by the General Committee provided that the
                Membership Committee may in its sole discretion by written notice to the Individual
                Debenture Member require any person nominated as a nominated partner to attend
                an interview with the Membership Committee to consider whether he is a fit and
                proper person before allowing that person to use the facilities of the Club as a
                nominated partner of that Individual Debenture Member. All regulations of the Club

                Debenture Member may transfer his membership to another person who meets the
                admission requirements set out in Article 4.7, subject to the following provisions of

                 (v)    if the proposed transferee is elected by the Membership Committee, the

                        been an Individual Debenture Member for at least 3 years before transferring
                        an Individual Debenture Membership in exceptional circumstances such as
                        death.
         (F)     An Individual Debenture Member who has been an Individual Debenture Member for
                 at least 3 years may apply to become an Ordinary Member in his own right and, if
                 elected as an Ordinary Member, shall apply to transfer his membership in accordance
                 with Article 3.11(E). All the provisions of these Articles relating to an application for
                 Ordinary Membership of the Club shall apply, save that the entrance fee, monthly
                 subscription and other payments due in his capacity as an Ordinary Member shall
                 only become payable and his rights and obligations as an Ordinary Member shall only
                 have effect once his Individual Debenture Membership has been transferred.

                 apply to become a Member in another category of membership at any time. Subject

                 wishes to continue using the facilities of the Club after his 20 birthday may only do
                 so if he is admitted as a Member in his own right.
         (H)     All rights and privileges of an Individual Debenture Member, his spouse, children
                 and/or nominated partner (except for those of any of them who by then have become
                 Members in their own right) including the right of the Individual Debenture Member to
                 transfer his Individual Debenture Membership shall cease upon such Individual
                 Debenture Member becoming bankrupt.
         (I)     For the avoidance of doubt, all the provisions of these Articles in relation to the
                 suspension and expulsion of Members shall apply to an Individual Debenture
                 Member and for these purposes the acts and behaviour of an Individual Debenture
                 Member’s spouse, children and/or nominated partner shall be attributed to that
                 Individual Debenture Member.
         (J)     Following the death of an Individual Debenture Member, the Individual Debenture
                 Membership shall pass to the beneficiary named in the Individual Debenture
                 Member’s will or the person entitled under the intestacy laws, subject to such person
                 meeting the admission requirements set out in Article 4.7 and, in the case of death of
                 the original Individual Debenture Member, upon payment to the Club of an
                 administration fee in such amount as the General Committee shall determine from
                 time to time. Following the death of a subsequent Individual Debenture Member, the
                 transfer to the beneficiary will be subject to payment of a transfer fee equivalent to the
                 then current entrance fee for a married Ordinary Member.
         (K)     In the event of an Individual Debenture Member losing his certificate of membership,
                 he may obtain a replacement certificate by applying in writing to the Membership
                 Manager and upon payment of an administration fee as the General Committee shall
                 determine from time to time.
