shall, in the first instance, be voted upon by a show of hands and, subject to
any rights or restrictions for the time being lawfully attached to any class of
shares and subject to the

15

provisions of these Bye-laws, every Member present in person and every person
holding a valid proxy at such meeting shall be entitled to one vote per share
and shall cast such vote by raising his or her hand.

45. Decision of chairperson

At any General Meeting a declaration by the chairperson of the meeting
that a question proposed for consideration has, on a show of hands, been
carried, or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, or an
entry to that effect in a book containing the minutes of the proceedings of the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of these Bye-laws, be conclusive
evidence of that fact.

46. Demand for a poll

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding two
Bye-laws, at any General Meeting of the Company, in respect of any question
proposed for the consideration of the Members (whether before or on the
declaration of the result of a show of hands as provided for in these Bye-laws),
a poll may be demanded by any of the following persons:

(i) the chairperson of such meeting; or

(ii) at least three Members present in person or represented by
proxy; or

(iii) any Member or Members present in person or represented by
proxy and holding between them not less than one-tenth of the
total voting rights of all the Members having the right to
vote at such meeting; or

(iv) any Member or Members present in person or represented by
proxy holding shares in the Company conferring the right to
vote at such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum
has been paid up equal to not less than one-tenth of the total
sum paid up on all such shares conferring such right.

(b) Where, in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this
Bye-law, a poll is demanded, subject to any rights or restrictions for the time
being lawfully attached to any class of shares, every person present at such
meeting shall have one vote for each share of which such person is the holder or
for which such person holds a proxy and such vote shall be counted in the manner
set out in paragraph (d) of this Bye-law or in the case of a General Meeting at
which one or more Members are present by telephone in such manner as the
chairperson of the meeting may direct and the result of such poll shall be
deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded

16

and shall replace any previous resolution upon the same matter which has been
the subject of a show of hands.

(c) A poll demanded in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph
(a) of this Bye-law, for the purpose of electing a chairperson or on a question
of adjournment, shall be taken forthwith and a poll demanded on any other
question shall be taken in such manner and at such time and place as the
chairperson may direct and any business other than that upon which a poll has
been demanded may be proceeded with pending the taking of the poll.

(d) Where a vote is taken by poll each person present and entitled to
vote shall be furnished with a ballot paper on which such person shall record
her or his vote in such manner as shall be determined at the meeting having
regard to the nature of the question on which the vote is taken, and each ballot
paper shall be signed or initialled or otherwise marked so as to identify the
voter and the registered holder in the case of a proxy. At the conclusion of the
poll the ballot papers shall be examined and counted by a committee of not less
than two Members or proxy holders appointed by the chairperson for the purpose
and the result of the poll shall be declared by the chairperson.

46A. Excess Shares

Notwithstanding anything else in these Bye-laws to the contrary:

(a) Other than as provided herein, no Person other than a Permitted
Person shall be permitted to own or control shares in the Company (including as
a result of the repurchase of shares by the Company) to the extent that such
holder or any other Person will be considered to own or control Controlled
Shares (as defined below), as the Board may determine in its sole discretion,
which represent in excess of 9.9% of the voting rights attached to all of the
issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company, nor shall any Person be
permitted to own or control Controlled Shares if the result thereof would be to
render such Person or any other Person other than a Permitted Person a Ten
Percent Shareholder. In accordance with the foregoing, the Company may decline
to register any transfer of its capital shares (including its public shares) if
such transfer, in the discretion of the Board, would cause the transferee or any
other Person (other than a Permitted Person) to own or control Controlled Shares
representing more than 9.9% of the voting rights attached to all of the issued
and outstanding capital shares of the Company.

(b) To the extent that, for any reason whatsoever and by any means
howsoever, a Person other

17

than a Permitted Person, whether or not an existing Member of the Company, shall
be deemed by the Board in its sole discretion to own or control Controlled
Shares which represent in excess of 9.9% of the voting rights attached to all of
the issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company, then all shares which
such person may Own or Control which carry in excess of 9.9% of all of the
issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company shall carry no voting
rights whatsoever, and shall be discounted in respect of such Member for the
purpose of the calculation of any vote which may or which is required to be
taken at any general meeting of the Company for any purpose. The Controlled
Shares of such Member which represent in excess of 9.9% of the voting rights
attached to all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company
shall be allocated for voting purposes to all the other Members of the Company
pro rata to the common shareholdings of such other Members; provided, however,
that no other Member other than a Permitted Person shall be allocated voting
rights pursuant to this sentence if to do so would render such other Member a
Ten Percent Shareholder. In the event that a reallocation of voting rights
pursuant to this Bye-law would result in the creation of additional Ten Percent
Shareholders, the reallocation to be made shall only be made to such Members
(other than Permitted Persons) who, after the re-allocation, would not be Ten
Percent Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after having applied the
provisions hereof as best as it considers reasonably practicable, the Board may
make such adjustments to the voting rights conferred by the Controlled Shares of
any Person (other than a Permitted Person) that the Board shall consider fair
and reasonable under all the applicable facts and circumstances to ensure that
such Controlled Shares represent no more than 9.9% of the aggregate voting
rights of all of the outstanding capital shares of the Company at any time.

(c) With respect to Bye-Law 46A(a) and (b), such provisions shall not
operate unless there are at least eleven (11) Members of the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Bye-law 46A, the
Board may waive the restrictions set forth in this Bye-law 46A, on a case by
case basis, in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, the Board may
designate the Company's Chief Executive Officer to exercise its authority to
decline to register transfers or to limit voting rights as described above, or
to take any other action, for as long as such officer is also a director.

18

(e) The Board may, by notice in writing, require any Member or
prospective acquiror of capital shares of the Company (including its publicly
held capital shares) to provide, within not less than ten (10) business days,
complete and accurate information to the Company's registered office or such
other place as the Board may reasonably designate, information including: (i)
the number of capital shares of the Company in which such Person is legally or
beneficially interested; (ii) the Persons who are beneficially interested in
capital shares of the Company in respect of which such Person is the registered
holder; (iii) the relationship, association or affiliation of such Person with
any other Member or Person whether by means of common control or ownership or
otherwise; or (iv) any other facts or matters which the Board may consider
relevant to the determination of the number of Controlled Shares attributable to
any Person. If any Member or prospective acquiror of capital shares of the
Company does not respond to any notice given pursuant to this Bye-law within the
time specified in such notice, or the Board shall have reason to believe that
any information provided in relation thereto is incomplete or inaccurate, the
Board may determine in its sole and absolute discretion that the votes attaching
to any capital shares of the Company registered in the name of such Member or
prospective acquiror shall be disregarded for all purposes until such time as a
response (or additional response) to such notice reasonably satisfactory to the
Board has been received as specified therein.

(f) One of the purposes of the 9.9% limitation set forth in this Bye-law
is to seek to lessen the likelihood the Company will be characterized as a
foreign personal holding company or as a controlled foreign corporation within
the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 of the United States, as
amended. Nevertheless, the Board will not be liable to the Company, its
shareholders or any other person whatsoever for any errors in judgment made by
it in interpreting or enforcing this Bye-law or in granting any waiver or
waivers to the foregoing restrictions in any case so long as the Board shall
have acted in good faith.

(g) The restrictions on transfer authorized by this Bye-law 46A shall
not be imposed in any circumstances in a way that would interfere with the
settlement of trades or transactions in the Common Shares entered into through
the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc.; provided, however, that the
Company may decline to register transfers in accordance

19

with these Bye-laws or resolutions of the Board after a settlement has taken
place.

(h) For purposes of this Bye-law 46A, the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings:

"Controlled Shares" in reference to any Person means: (i) all
capital shares of the Company that such Person is deemed to own
directly, indirectly or by attribution (within the meaning of
Section 958 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended) and (ii) all capital shares of the Company directly,
indirectly or beneficially owned by such person within the meaning
of section 13(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including any shares owned by
a "group" of persons as so defined and including any capital shares
that would otherwise be excluded by section 13(d) of the Exchange
Act).

"Permitted Person" means any of (i) Warburg, Pincus Investors, L.P.,
PT Investments, Inc. or United States Fidelity and Guaranty Company,
or any of their respective affiliates; (ii) any person who directly
or indirectly shall purchase and retain Controlled Shares from a
Permitted Person representing more than 5.0% of the voting rights
attached to all of the issued and outstanding capital shares of the
Company; (iii) any person who shall purchase and retain Controlled
Shares in a single transaction from any of Warburg, Pincus
Investors, L.P., PT Investments, Inc., or United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company, or any of their respective affiliates (or from any
combination of such Persons) representing in the aggregate more than
5.0% of the voting rights attached to all of the issued and
outstanding capital shares of the Company; or (iv) any such other
Person as the Board may designate, in its discretion, from time to
time.

"Person" means an individual, a partnership, a joint-stock company,
a corporation, a trust or unincorporated organization, a limited
liability company or a government or an agency or political
subdivision thereof.

20

"Ten Percent Shareholder" means a person who the Board determines,
in its sole and absolute discretion, owns or controls Controlled
Shares representing more than 9.9% of the total voting rights of all
of the issued and outstanding capital shares of the Company."

47. Seniority of joint holders voting

In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior who tenders a vote,
whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes
of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined
by the order in which the names stand in the Register of Members.

48. Instrument of proxy

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing in the form, or as
near thereto as circumstances admit, of Form "A" in the Appendix hereto under
the hand of the appointor or of her or his attorney duly authorized in writing,
or if the appointor is a corporation, either under its seal, or under the hand
of a duly authorized officer or attorney. The decision of the chairperson of any
General Meeting as to the validity of any instrument of proxy shall be final.

49. Representation of corporations at meetings

A corporation which is a Member may by written instrument authorize such
person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the
Members and the person so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same
powers on behalf of the corporation which such person represents as that
corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the chairperson of the meeting may accept such assurances as she or
he thinks fit as to the right of any person to attend and vote at General
Meetings on behalf of a corporation which is a Member.

SHARE CAPITAL AND SHARES

50. Rights of shares

(a) Subject to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of
any existing shares or class of shares, the share capital of the Company shall
be divided into shares of two classes, being 225 million common shares of
US$1.00 each (the "Common Shares") and 100 million preference shares of US$1.00
each (the "Preference Shares"), which shall have the rights, terms, restrictions
and preferences set out in or determined in accordance with these Bye-laws.

(b) The Common Shares shall be divided into 206,570,583 Full Voting
Common Shares; 16,789,776 Diluted Voting Class I Common Shares; and 1,639,641

shall:

(i) be entitled to one vote per share;

time declare;

shares.

(c) The Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law,
to issue the Preference Shares in one or more series, and to fix the rights,

dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption (including
sinking fund provisions), redemption prices and liquidation preferences, and the
number of shares constituting and the designation of any such series, without
further vote or action by the shareholders.

The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include,
but not be limited to, determination of the following:

(i) The distinctive designation of that series and the number of
Preference Shares constituting that series, which number
(except as otherwise provided by the Board in the resolution
establishing such series) may be increased or decreased (but
not below the number of shares of such series then
outstanding) from time to time by like action of the Board;

(ii) The rights in respect of dividends, if any, of such series of
Preference Shares, the extent of the preference or relation,
if any, of such dividends to the dividends payable on any
other class or classes or any other series of the same or
other class or classes of shares of the Company, and whether
such dividends shall be cumulative or non-cumulative;

(iii) The voting powers, if any, of the holders of any series of
Preference Shares generally or with respect to any particular
matter, which may be less than, equal to or greater than one
vote per

22

share, and which may, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, include the right, voting as a series by itself or
together with the holders of any other series of Preference
Shares or all series of Preference Shares as a class, or
together with the holders of any other class of the capital
stock of the Company to elect one or more directors of the
Company (which, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, may include a specified number or portion of the
then-existing number of authorized directorships of the
Company or a specified number or portion of directorships in
addition to the then-existing number of authorized
directorships of the Company), generally or under such
specific circumstances and on such conditions, as shall be
provided in the resolution or resolutions of the Board adopted
pursuant hereto;

(iv) Whether the Preference Shares may be redeemed and, if so, the
terms and conditions on which they may be redeemed (including,
without limitation, the dates upon or after which they may be
redeemed, which price or prices may be different in different
circumstances or at different redemption dates), and whether
they may be redeemed at the option of the Company, at the
option of the holder, or at the option of both the Company and
the holder;

(v) The right, if any, of the holders of such series of Preference
Shares to convert the same into, or exchange the same for,
shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of
the same or any other class or classes of shares of the
Company and the terms and conditions of such conversion or
exchange, including, without limitation, whether or not the
number of shares of such other class or series into which
shares of such series may be converted or exchanged shall be
adjusted in the event of any share split, stock dividend,
subdivision, combination, reclassification or other
transaction or series of transactions affecting the class or
series into which such series of Preference Shares may be
converted or exchanged;

(vi) The amounts, if any, payable upon the Preference Shares in the
event of voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company in preference of shares of any other class or
series or in the event of any merger or consolidation of or
sale of assets by the Company;

23

(vii) The terms of any sinking fund or redemption or purchase
account, if any, to be provided for shares of such series of
Preference Shares; and

(viii) Any other relative rights, preferences, limitations and
powers of that series.

51. Power to issue shares

(a) Subject to these Bye-laws and to any resolution of the Members to
the contrary and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on
the holders of any existing shares or class of shares, the Board shall have
power to issue any unissued shares of the Company on such terms and conditions
as it may determine.

(b) The Board shall, in connection with the issue of any share, have the
power to pay such commission and brokerage as may be permitted by law.

(c) The Company shall not give, whether directly or indirectly, whether
by means of loan, guarantee, provision of security or otherwise, any financial
assistance for the purpose of or in connection with a purchase or subscription
made or to be made by any person of or for any shares in the Company, but
nothing in this Bye-law shall prohibit transactions mentioned in Sections 39A,
39B and 39C of the Act.

52. Variation of rights and alteration of share capital

(a) If at any time the share capital is divided into different classes
of shares, the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the
terms of issue of the shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is
being wound-up, be varied with the consent in writing of the holders of
three-fourths of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of a
resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast at a separate General Meeting
of the holders of the shares of the class in accordance with Section 47 (7) of
the Act. The rights conferred upon the holders of the shares of any class issued
with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by
the terms of issue of the shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the
creation or issue of further shares ranking pari passu therewith.

(b) The Company may from time to time by resolution of the Members
change the currency denomination of, increase, alter or reduce its share capital
in accordance with the provisions of Sections 45 and 46 of the Act. Where, on
any alteration of share capital, fractions of shares or some other difficulty
would arise, the Board may deal with or resolve the same in such manner as it
thinks fit including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
issue to Members, as appropriate, of fractions

24

of shares and/or arranging for the sale or transfer of the fractions of shares
of Members.

53. Registered holder of shares

(a) The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any
share as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not be bound to
recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the
part of any other person.

(b) Any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect of
shares may be paid by cheque or draft sent through the post directed to the
Member at such Member's address in the Register of Members or, in the case of
joint holders, to such address of the holder first named in the Register of
Members, or to such person and to such address as the holder or joint holders
may in writing direct. If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of
any shares any one can give an effectual receipt for any dividend paid in
respect of such shares.

54. Death of a joint holder

Where two or more persons are registered as joint holders of a share or
shares then in the event of the death of any joint holder or holders the
remaining joint holder or holders shall be absolutely entitled to the said share
or shares and the Company shall recognize no claim in respect of the estate of
any joint holder except in the case of the last survivor of such joint holders.

55. Share certificates

(a) Every Member shall be entitled to a certificate under the seal of
the Company (or a facsimile thereof) with such legends as the Board sees fit,
specifying the number and, where appropriate, the class of shares held by such
Member and whether the same are fully paid up and, if not, how much has been
paid thereon. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in a
particular case, that any or all signatures on certificates may be printed
thereon or affixed by mechanical means.

(b) If any such certificate shall be proved to the satisfaction of the
Board to have been worn out, lost, mislaid or destroyed the Board may cause a
new certificate to be issued and request an indemnity for the lost certificate
if it sees fit.

56. Calls on shares

(a) With respect to any shares which are not fully paid, the Board may
from time to time make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in respect
of any monies unpaid on

25

any such shares allotted to or held by such Members and, if a call is not paid
on or before the day appointed for payment thereof, the Member may at the
discretion of the Board be liable to pay the Company interest on the amount of
such call at such rate as the Board may determine, from the date when such call
was payable up to the actual date of payment. The joint holders of any such
share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

(b) The Board may, on the issue of shares, differentiate between the
holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment of such
calls.

57. Forfeiture of shares

(a) If any Member fails to pay, on the day appointed for payment
thereof, any call in respect of any share allotted to or held by such Member,
the Board may, at any time thereafter during such time as the call remains
unpaid, direct the Secretary to forward to such Member a notice in the form, or
as near thereto as circumstances admit, of Form "B" in the Appendix hereto.

(b) If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such
share may at any time thereafter before the payment of such call and the
interest due in respect thereof be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to
that effect, and such share shall thereupon become the property of the Company
and may be disposed of as the Board shall determine.

(c) A Member whose share or shares have been forfeited as aforesaid
shall, notwithstanding such forfeiture, be liable to pay to the Company all
calls owing on such share or shares at the time of the forfeiture and all
interest due thereon.

REGISTER OF MEMBERS

58. Contents of Register of Members

The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of
Members and shall enter therein the following particulars:

(a) the name and address of each Member, the number and, where
appropriate, the class of shares held by such Member and the amount paid or
agreed to be considered as paid on such shares;

(b) the date on which each person was entered in the Register of
Members; and

(c) the date on which any person ceased to be a Member for one year
after such person so ceased.

26

59. Inspection of Register of Members

The Register of Members shall be open to inspection at the registered
office of the Company on every business day, subject to such reasonable
restrictions as the Board may impose, so that not less than two hours in each
business day be allowed for inspection.

The Register of Members may, after notice has been given by
advertisement in an appointed newspaper to that effect, be closed for any time
or times not exceeding in the whole thirty days in each year.

60. Determination of record dates

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bye-laws, the Board may fix
any date as the record date for:

(a) determining the Members entitled to receive any dividend; and

(b) determining the Members entitled to receive notice of and to vote at
any General Meeting of the Company.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

61. Instrument of transfer

(a) An instrument of transfer shall be in the form or as near thereto as
circumstances admit of Form "C" in the Appendix hereto or in such other common
form as the Board may accept. Such instrument of transfer shall be signed by or
on behalf of the transferor and transferee provided that, in the case of a fully
paid share, the Board may accept the instrument signed by or on behalf of the
transferor alone. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of such
share until the same has been transferred to the transferee in the Register of
Members.

(b) The Board may refuse to recognize any instrument of transfer unless
it is accompanied by the certificate in respect of the shares to which it
relates and by such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show
the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

62. Restriction on transfer

(a) The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless all applicable
consents, authorizations and permissions of any governmental body or agency in
Bermuda have been obtained.

(b) If the Board refuses to register a transfer of any share the
Secretary shall, within 10 days after the date on which

27

the transfer was lodged with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee
notice of the refusal.

63. Transfers by joint holders

The joint holders of any share or shares may transfer such share or
shares to one or more of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders
of any share or shares previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member
may transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such deceased
Member.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

64. Representative of deceased Member

In the case of the death of a Member the survivor or survivors where the
deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal representatives of
the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a sole holder, shall be the
only persons recognized by the Company as having any title to the deceased
Member's interest in the shares.

Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint
holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been jointly held by
such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to the provisions of Section 52
of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal personal representative means
the executor or administrator of a deceased Member or such other person as the
Board may in its absolute discretion decide as being properly authorized to deal
with the shares of a deceased Member.

65. Registration on death or bankruptcy

Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or
bankruptcy of any Member may be registered as a Member upon such evidence as the
Board may deem sufficient or may elect to nominate some person to be registered
as a transferee of such share, and in such case the person becoming entitled
shall execute in favour of such nominee an instrument of transfer in the form,
or as near thereto as circumstances admit, of Form "D" in the Appendix hereto.

On the presentation thereof to the Board, accompanied by such evidence
as the Board may require to prove the title of the transferor, the transferee
shall be registered as a Member but the

Board shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend
registration as it would have had in the case of a transfer of the share by that
Member before such Member's death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

28

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS

66. Declaration of dividends by the Board

Subject to these Bye-laws, the Board may, in accordance with Section 54
of the Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to the
number of shares held by them, and such dividend may be paid in cash or wholly
or partly in specie in which case the Board may fix the value for distribution
in specie of any assets.

67. Other distributions

The Board may declare and make such other distributions (in cash or in
specie) to the Members as may be lawfully made out of the assets of the Company.

68. Reserve fund

The Board may from time to time before declaring a dividend set aside,
out of the surplus or profits of the Company, such sum as it thinks proper as a
reserve fund to be used to meet contingencies or for equalizing dividends or for
any other special purpose.

69. Deduction of Amounts due to the Company

The Board may deduct from the dividends or distributions payable to any
Member all monies due from such Member to the Company on account of calls.

CAPITALIZATION

70. Issue of bonus shares

(a) The Board may resolve to capitalize any part of the amount for the
time being standing to the credit of any of the Company's share premium or other
reserve accounts or to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise
available for distribution by applying such sum in paying up unissued shares to
be allotted as fully paid bonus shares pro rata to the Members.

(b) The Company may capitalize any sum standing to the credit of a
reserve account or sums otherwise available for dividend or distribution by
applying such amounts in paying up in full partly paid shares of those Members
who would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way of
dividend or distribution.

ACCOUNTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

71. Records of account

29

The Board shall cause to be kept proper records of account with respect
to all transactions of the Company and in particular with respect to:

(a) all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the
matters in respect of which the receipt and expenditure relates;

(b) all sales and purchases of goods by the Company; and

(c) the assets and liabilities of the Company.

Such records of account shall be kept at the registered office of the
Company or, subject to Section 83 (2) of the Act, at such other place as the
Board thinks fit and shall be available for inspection by the Directors during
normal business hours.

72. Financial year end

The financial year end of the Company may be determined by resolution of
the Board and failing such resolution shall be 31st December in each year.

73. Financial statements

Subject to any rights to waive laying of accounts pursuant to Section 88
of the Act, financial statements as required by the Act shall be laid before the
Members in General Meeting.

AUDIT

74. Appointment of Auditor

Subject to Section 88 of the Act, at the annual General Meeting or at a
subsequent special General Meeting in each year, an independent representative
of the Members shall be appointed by them as Auditor of the accounts of the
Company. Such Auditor may be a Member but no Director, Officer or employee of
the Company shall, during his or her continuance in office, be eligible to act
as an Auditor of the Company.

75. Remuneration of Auditor

The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Company in General
Meeting or in such manner as the Members may determine.

76. Vacation of office of Auditor

If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by the resignation or death of
the Auditor, or by the Auditor becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness
or other disability at a

30

time when the Auditor's services are required, the Board shall, as soon as
practicable, convene a special General Meeting to fill the vacancy thereby
