     Chairman is prevented from doing so, by his deputy by giving 14 days prior
     notice. In urgent cases the period of notice may be reduced. The notice of

     the case of a tie, the Chairman decides whether the vote should be held
     again. If he considers it necessary, he is entitled to interrupt the
     meeting for a period of no longer than one week.

(6)  Resolutions should only be passed on such items on the agenda for which due
     notice pursuant to subparagraph (3) has been given in the invitation to

     agenda, a resolution on the latter may only be passed if no member objects.
     In such a case members of the Supervisory Board who do not attend the
     meeting must be given the opportunity to object to the passing of the
     resolution within a reasonable period of time as determined by the
     Chairman; the resolution shall take effect only if the members of the
     Supervisory Board not having attended the meeting have not objected within
     such period.

(7)  Members of the Supervisory Board who do not attend a meeting may
     participate in the passing of resolutions by the Supervisory Board and its
     committees by authorising other members of the Supervisory Board to present
     their written votes at the meeting.

(8)  Legally binding declarations by the Supervisory Board shall be made by the
     Chairman in the name of the Supervisory Board, or in his absence, by his
