by any Member may result in adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences to the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of the Members, the Company will have

consequences) for immediately available funds in an amount equal to the Fair
Market Value of such shares on the date the Company sends the Repurchase Notice
referred to below (the "Repurchase Price"); provided, that the Board will use
its best efforts to exercise this option equally among similarly

situated Members (to the extent possible under the circumstances). In that

calendar days prior to such repurchase or such shorter period as each such
Member may authorize, specifying the date on which any such shares are to be

Members of any intention to purchase or the conclusion of any purchase of
shares. Payment of the Repurchase Price by the Company or its assignee(s) shall
be by wire transfer and made at a closing to be held no less than seven (7)

as a Director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures
set forth herein.

accordance with the foregoing procedure, and if he should so determine, he shall
so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

         (5)    The Directors shall (subject to any resolution of the Members to
the contrary) have the power from time to time and at any time to appoint any
Person as a Director to fill a casual vacancy on the Board, provided, however,
that the number of Directors so appointed shall not exceed any maximum number
determined from time to time by the Members in a General Meeting. Any Director
so appointed by the Board shall hold office until the next election of the class
for which such director shall have been chosen and shall then be eligible for
re-election at that meeting.

         (6)    A Director shall not be required to hold any shares of the
Company by way of qualification and a Director (as the case may be) who is not a

of the Board or by any person acting as a Director shall, notwithstanding that
it be afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any
Director or person acting as aforesaid, or that they or any of them were
disqualified, be as valid as if every person had been duly appointed and was
qualified to be a Director.

                      if so, whether unpaid dividends shall compound or accrue
                      interest) or shall be payable in preference or in any
                      other relation to the dividends payable on any other class
                      or classes of shares or any other series of the Preferred
                      Shares;

                (c)   whether that series shall have voting rights in addition
                      to the voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms
                      and extent of such voting rights;

                (d)   whether the Preferred 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 and the price or prices at
                      which they may be redeemed, which price or prices may be
                      different in different circumstances or at different
                      redemption dates);

                (e)   whether the Preferred Shares shall be issued with the
                      privilege of conversion or exchange and, if so, the terms
                      and conditions of such conversion or exchange (including,
                      without limitation the price or prices or the rate or
                      rates of conversion or exchange or any terms for
                      adjustment thereof);



                                      -28-



                (f)   the amounts, if any, payable upon the Preferred Shares in
                      the event of voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
                      up of the Company in preference of shares of any other
                      class or series and whether the Preferred Shares shall be
                      entitled to participate generally in distributions on the
                      Common Shares under such circumstances;

                (g)   the amounts, if any, payable upon the Preferred Shares in
                      the event of involuntary liquidation, dissolution or
                      winding up of the Company in preference to shares of any
                      other class or series and whether the Preferred Shares
                      shall be entitled to participate generally in
                      distributions on the Common Shares under such
                      circumstances;

                (h)   sinking fund provisions, if any, for the redemption or
                      purchase of the Preferred Shares (the term "sinking fund"
                      being understood to include any similar fund, however
                      designated); and

                (i)   any other relative rights, preferences, limitations and
                      powers of that series.

         (4)    If the Preferred Shares confer any voting rights that entitle
the Preferred Shares to vote generally with the Common Shares, the Preferred
Shares shall also be subject to Bye-law 50 in the same manner as are the Common
Shares and shall be included with the Common Shares in determining the
limitation on voting rights pursuant to Bye-law 50 for both the Common Shares
and the Preferred Shares.

50.      Limitation on voting rights of Controlled Shares
--       ------------------------------------------------

         (1     Subject to any rights or restrictions for the time being
attached to any class or classes of shares, on a poll at a general meeting every
Member of record present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for each
Common Share registered in his name in the register; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that,
subject to the following provisions of this Bye-law 50, if and for so long as
the number of issued Controlled Shares of any Person would constitute more than
nine and one half percent (9.5%) of the total combined voting rights attaching
to the issued Common Shares of the Company (calculated after giving effect to
any prior reduction in voting rights attaching to Common Shares of other Persons
as provided in this Bye-law 50), each such issued Controlled Share, regardless
of the identity of the registered holder thereof, shall confer only a fraction
of a vote as determined by the following formula (the "Formula"):

         (T  -  C)  /  (9.525  x  C)




                                      -29-



         Where:       "T" is the aggregate number of votes conferred by all
                      the issued Common Shares immediately prior to that
                      application of the Formula with respect to such
                      issued Controlled Shares, adjusted to take into
                      account each reduction in such aggregate number of
                      votes that results from a prior reduction in the
                      exercisable votes conferred by any issued Controlled
                      Shares pursuant to Bye-law 50(4) as at the same date;
                      and

                      "C" is the number of issued Controlled Shares
                      attributable to such Person.

         (2)    The Directors may, by notice in writing, require any Member to
provide, within not less than ten (10) Business Days, complete and accurate
information to the registered office or such other place as the Directors may
designate in respect of any or all of the following matters:

                (a)   the number of Common Shares in which such Member is
                      legally or beneficially interested;

                (b)   the Persons who are beneficially interested in Common
                      Shares in respect of which such Member is the registered
                      holder;

                (c)   the relationship, association or affiliation of such
                      Member with any other Member or Person whether by means of
                      common control or ownership or otherwise; or

                (d)   any other facts or matters which the Directors may
                      consider relevant to the determination of the number of
                      Controlled Shares attributable to any Person.

         (3)    If any Member does not respond to any notice given pursuant to
Bye-law 50(2) above within the time specified therein or the Directors shall
have reason to believe that any information provided in relation thereto is
incomplete or inaccurate, the Directors may determine that the votes attaching
to any Common Shares registered in the name of such Member shall be disregarded
for all purposes until such time as a response (or additional response) to such
notice reasonably satisfactory to the Directors has been received as specified
therein.



                                      -30-



         (4)    The Formula shall be applied successively as many times as may
be necessary to ensure that no Person shall be a 9.5% Shareholder at any time.
For the purposes of determining the votes exercisable by Members as at any date,
the Formula shall be appl ied to the shares of each Member in declining order
based on the respective numbers of total Controlled Shares attributable to each
Member. Thus, the Formula will be applied first to the votes of shares held by
the Member to whom the largest number of total Controlled Shares is attributable
and thereafter sequentially with respect to the Member with the next largest
number of total Controlled Shares. In each case, calculations are made on the
basis of the aggregate number of votes conferred by the issued Common Shares as
of such date, as reduced by the application of the Formula to any issued Common
Shares of any Member with a larger number of total Controlled Shares as of such
date.

         (5)    Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) of this
Bye-law 50 above, having applied the provisions thereof as best as they consider
reasonably practicable, the Directors may make such final adjustments to the
aggregate number of votes attaching to the Common Shares of any Member that they
consider fair and reasonable in all the circumstances to ensure that no Person
shall be a 9.5% Shareholder at any time.

         (6)    This Bye-law 50 shall only be effective for and at such times
when the Company shall have eleven (11) or more Members holding Common Shares.

51.      Power to issue shares
--       ---------------------

         (1)    Subject to the provisions of these Bye-laws and to any rights
attaching to issued shares of the Company, the unissued shares of the Company
(whether forming part of the original share capital or any increased share
capital) shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may issue, offer, allot,
exchange or otherwise dispose of shares or options, warrants or other rights to
purchase shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares
(including any




                                      -31-



employee benefit plan providing for the issuance of shares or options or rights
in respect thereof), at such times, for such consideration and on such terms and
conditions as it may determine (including, without limitation, such preferred or
other special rights or restrictions with respect to dividend, voting,
liquidation or other rights of the shares as may be determined by the Board).

         (2)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bye-law, the
Company shall not issue any shares in a manner that the Board believes would
cause, by reason of such issuance, any Person to become or continue to be a 9.5%
Shareholder.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Bye-law, the
restrictions of this Bye-law 51(2) shall not apply to any issuance of shares to
a person acting as an underwriter in the ordinary course of its business,
purchasing such shares pursuant to a purchase agreement to which the Company is
a party, for resale.

         (3)    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.

         (4)    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 permitted
pursuant to Sections 39A, 39B, and 39C of the Act.




                                      -32-




52.      Variation of rights and alteration of share capital
--       ---------------------------------------------------

         (1)    While 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 that 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.

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

53.      Registered holder of shares
--       ---------------------------

         (1)    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
recognise any equitable or other claim to, or interest in, such share on the
part of any other person.




                                      -33-




         (2)    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 recognise 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
--       ------------------

         (1)    Every Member shall be entitled to a certificate under the seal
of the Company (or a facsimile thereof) 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.

         (2)    The Company shall be under no obligation to complete and deliver
a share certificate unless specifically called upon to do so by the person to
whom such shares have been allotted.

         (3)    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 they see fit.



                                      -34-




56.      Calls on shares
--       ---------------

         The Board may from time to time make such calls as it thinks fit upon
the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by
such Members.

57.      Forfeiture of Shares
--       --------------------

         (1)    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 anytime thereafter during such time as the call remains unpaid
direct the Secretary to forward such Member a notice in writing in the form, or
as near there to as circumstances admit, of Form "B" in the Schedule hereto.

         (2)    If the requirement of such notice are not complied with, any
such share may at anytime 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 maybe disposed of as the Board shall determine.

         (3)    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;

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

                (d)   the country where such Member is resident.



                                      -35-



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
--       ----------------------

         (1)    An instrument of transfer shall be in the form or as near
thereto as circumstances admit of Form "C" in the Schedule 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.

         (2)    The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer
Funless 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.




                                      -36-




62.      Restrictions on transfer
--       ------------------------

         (1)    Subject to the Act, this Bye-law 62 and such other of the
restrictions contained in these Bye-laws and elsewhere as may be applicable, and
except, in the case of any shares other than the Common Shares, as may otherwise
be provided by the terms of issuance thereof, any Member may sell, assign,
transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of the Company at the time owned by it
and, upon receipt of a duly executed form of transfer in writing, the Directors
shall procure the timely registration of the same. If the Directors refuse to
register a transfer for any reason they shall notify the proposed transferor and
transferee within thirty days of such refusal.

         (2)    The Directors shall decline to register a transfer of shares if
the Directors have reason to believe that the effect of such transfer would be
that any Person would become or continue to be a 9.5% Shareholder or a United
States 25% Shareholder.

         (3)    The Directors may, in their absolute and unfettered discretion,
decline to register the transfer of any shares if the Directors have reason to
believe (i) that such transfer may expose the Company, any subsidiary thereof,
any Member or any Person ceding insurance to the Company or any such subsidiary
to adverse tax or regulatory treatment in any jurisdiction or (ii) that
registration of such transfer under the Securities Act or under any blue sky or
other U.S. state securities laws or under the laws of any other jurisdiction is
required and such registration has not been duly effected (PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that in this case (ii) the Directors shall be entitled to request and rely on an
opinion of counsel to the transferor or the transferee, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Directors, that no such approval or consent is required and
no such violation would occur, and the Directors shall not be obligated to
register any transfer absent the receipt of such an opinion).

         (4)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Board shall decline to
approve or register a transfer of shares unless all applicable consents,
authorisations, permissions or approvals of any governmental body or agency in
Bermuda, the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction required to be
obtained prior to such transfer shall have been obtained.



                                      -37-



         (5)    The registration of transfers may be suspended at such time and
for such periods as the Directors may from time to time determine; PROVIDED THAT
such registration shall not be suspended for more than forty-five days in any
period of three hundred and sixty five (365) consecutive days.

         (6)    The Directors may require any Member, or any Person proposing to
acquire shares of the Company, to certify or otherwise provide information in
writing as to such matters as the Directors may request for the purpose of
giving effect to Bye-laws 10(2), 51(2), 62(2) and 62(3), including as to such
Person's status as a U.S. Person, its Controlled Shares and other matters of the
kind contemplated by Bye-law 50(2). Such request shall be made by written notice
and the certification or other information requested shall be provided to such
place and within such period (not less than ten (10) Business Days after such
notice is given unless the Directors and such Member or proposed acquiror
otherwise agree) as the Directors may designate in such request. If any Member
or proposed acquiror does not respond to any such request by the Directors as
requested, or if the Directors have reason to believe that any certification or
other information provided pursuant to any such request is inaccurate or
incomplete, the Directors may decline to register any transfer or to effect any
issuance or purchase of shares to which such request relates.

         (7)    The restrictions on transfer authorized by this Bye-law 62 shall
not be imposed in any circumstance in a way that would interfere with the
settlement of trades or transactions in the Common Shares entered into through
the facilities of the PORTAL market; provided, however, that the Company may
decline to register transfers in accordance with these Bye-laws or resolutions
of the Board after a settlement has taken place.

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 or shares to the executors or administrators of such
deceased Member.



                                      -38-




64.      Lien on Shares
--       --------------

         (1)    The Company shall have a first and paramount lien and charge on
all shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member
(whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or
engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such
Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a
Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any share to be wholly
or in part exempt from the provisions of this Bye-law. The registration of a
transfer of any such share shall operate as a waiver of the Company's lien (if
any) thereon. The Company's lien (if any) on a share shall extend to all
dividends or other monies payable in respect thereof.

         (2)    The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit,
any shares on which the Company has a lien, but no sale shall be made unless a
sum in respect of which the lien exists is then presently payable, nor until the
expiration of fourteen days after a notice in writing stating and demanding
payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is
presently payable, has been given to the relevant Member, or the Person, of
which the Company has notice, entitled thereto by reason of such Member's death
or bankruptcy. Effective upon such sale, any certificate representing such
shares prior to such sale shall become null and void, whether or not it was
actually delivered to the Company.

         (3)    To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise some
Person to transfer the shares sold to the purchaser thereof. The purchaser shall
be registered as the holder of the shares comprised in any such transfer, and he
shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall
his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the
proceedings in reference to the sale.

         (4)    The proceeds of such sale shall be received by the Company and
applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien
exists as is presently payable and the residue, if any, shall (subject to a like
lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the shares before the sale)
be paid to the Person entitled to the shares at the date of the sale.

--       --------------------------

         Any Person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the
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 "C" in the Schedule
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 bankruptcy.


                        DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS


66.      Declaration of dividends by the Board
--       -------------------------------------

         Subject to any rights or restrictions at the time lawfully attached to
any class of shares and 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 equalising dividends or for
any other special purpose.



                                      -40-



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 or
otherwise.

70.      Unclaimed dividends
--       -------------------

         Any dividend unclaimed for a period of six (6) years from the date of
declaration of such dividend shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company
and the payment by the Board of any unclaimed dividend, interest or other sum
payable on or in respect of the shares into a separate account shall not
constitute the Company a trustee in respect thereof.

71.      Interest on dividend
--       --------------------

         No dividend or distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

72.      Issue of bonus shares
--       ---------------------

         Subject to Bye-law 51(2), the Board may resolve to capitalise 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.

as he or she deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may
determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Members or
different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest
the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the

shall be compelled to accept any shares or other securities or assets whereon
