No Director or intending Director shall be disqualified by his office from contracting or entering into any arrangement with the Company either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise,

nor shall such contract or arrangement or any contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director shall be in any way interested be avoided,

nor shall any Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realilsed by any such contract or arrangement by reason only of such Director holding that office or of the fiduciary relation thereby established,

but every Director shall observe the provisions of Section 156 of the Act relating to the disclosure of the interests of the Directors in transactions or proposed transactions with the Company or of any office or property held by a Director which might create duties or interests in conflict with his duties or interests as a Director and any transactions to be entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director shall be in any way interested shall be subject to any requirements that may be imposed by the Exchange.

I doubt it very much that the original sentence is not properly punctuated. And the last part of the sentence reads just like a twister.

Difficult to understand.
