               offer  from a third  party  has been  received  by the  proposing
               transferor,  the price specified must be no higher than the price
               offered by that third  party and the other  terms must be no more
               favourable to the proposing transferor than those offered by that
               third  party.  The  proposing  transferor  shall  declare  in his
               transfer  notice whether or not he has received an unrelated arms

               thereto to any member or members holding shares of the same class

               revocable  except with the sanction of the directors or except as
               hereinafter  provided and shall  comprise one class of share only
               so that  separate  transfer  notices  are  required in respect of
               proposed transfers of separate classes of shares.

          4.2  The shares  comprised in any transfer  notice shall be offered to
               the members (other than the proposing  transferor) holding shares
               of the same  class  as those  comprised  in the  transfer  notice
               (hereinafter  called  "class  members")  as  nearly  as may be in
               proportion to the number of shares of the said class held by them
               respectively.  Such  offer  shall be made by  notice  in  writing

                    Article 4.3 and on the other terms (if any) specified by the

               in such  proportions as may be determined by lots drawn in regard
               thereto,  and the  lots  shall be  drawn  in such  manner  as the
               directors may think fit.

               of the Company,  the proposing  transferor  and such class member
               ("the  Independent  Firm")  certify in  writing  the sum which in
               their opinion  represents the fair value (applying the principles
               of  Article 7) of each of the shares  comprised  in the  transfer
               notice  as at the  date of the  transfer  notice.  If such  class
               member,  the proposing  transferor  and the Company are unable to
               agree  on  the  identity  of  the  firm  to be  appointed  as the
               Independent  Firm  within 7 days of receipt of such notice then a
               firm  nominated  by the  President  for  the  time  being  of the
               Institute  of  Certified  Public  Secretaries  in  Kenya  on  the
               application  of the  directors  or such class member on behalf of
               the  Company  shall  be  instructed  to  give  such  certificate.
               Forthwith upon  appointment of the  Independent  Firm the Company
               shall instruct the  Independent  Firm to certify as aforesaid and
               the costs of  producing  such  certificate  shall be  apportioned
               among the proposing  transferor and the purchasing  class members
               and borne by any one or more of them as the  Independent  Firm in
               their absolute  discretion  shall decide.  In certifying the fair
               value as  aforesaid  the  Independent  Firm shall be  entitled to
               obtain professional valuations in respect of any of the Company's
               assets and shall take into account the terms if any other than as
               to price  specified  in the transfer  notice and the  Independent
               Firm  shall be  considered  to be  acting as  experts  and not as
               arbitrators or arbiters and  accordingly any provisions of law or
               statute relating to arbitration  shall not apply.  Forthwith upon
               receipt of the certificate of the  Independent  Firm, the Company
               shall by notice in  writing  inform  all  class  members  and the
               proposing  transferor of the  certified  fair value of each share
               and  of the  price  per  share  (being  the  lower  of the  price
               specified in the transfer  notice and the certified fair value of
               each share) at which the shares  comprised in the transfer notice
               are offered for sale.

          4.4  If  purchasing  class  members  shall be found for all the shares
               comprised in the transfer  notice within the  appropriate  period
               specified in Article 4.2, the Company  shall not later than seven
               days after the expiry of such  appropriate  period give notice in
               writing  (hereinafter  called "the sale notice") to the proposing
               transferor specifying the purchasing class members. The proposing
               transferor  may,  provided the certified fair value of each share
               is lower  than the  price per share  specified  by the  proposing
               transferor in the transfer notice,  within a period of seven days
               after receipt of the sale notice  withdraw his transfer notice by
               notice in writing to the Company,  whereupon the transfer  notice
               will lapse,  and the proposing  transferor  shall not be bound to
               transfer  the  Shares to the  purchasing  class  members.  If the
               proposing  transferor does not so withdraw the transfer notice he
               shall be bound  upon  payment  of the price due in respect of all
               the shares  comprised  in the  transfer  notice to transfer  such
               shares  to  the  purchasing  class  members.   If  the  proposing
               transferor withdraws his transfer notice pursuant to this Article
               4.4 he shall  reimburse the costs of producing any certificate of
               fair value to the purchasing class members bearing the same under
               Article 4.3.

          4.5  If the  Company  shall not give a sale  notice  to the  proposing
               transferor  within the time specified in Article 4.4 or if at the
               date of the  transfer  notice  there is no member  other than the
               proposing  transferor who holds shares of the same class as those
               comprised  in the  transfer  notice,  the  transfer  notice shall
               thenceforth  be deemed to constitute the Company the agent of the
               proposing  transferor  for the sale of all (but not some only) of
               the shares  comprised in the transfer  notice  together  with all
               rights then attached  thereto to any member or members willing to
               purchase the same (whether or not a class member) at the price or
               at the fair  value  certified  in  accordance  with  Article  4.3
               (whichever  shall be the lower)  and on the other  terms (if any)
               specified in the transfer notice. In any such case the provisions
               of Articles 4.2 to 4.4 (inclusive)  shall apply mutatis  mutandis
               as if  references  therein to class  members  were to members (of
               whatever  class) and references to purchasing  class members were
               to  purchasing  members (of whatever  class) and as if the period
               for  service of the offer  notice  referred to in Article 4.2 was
               the period of seven days immediately  following the expiry of the
               appropriate  period for  service of a sale  notice on  purchasing
               class members without such a sale notice being served.

          4.6  Notwithstanding  the provisions of Article 4.5 but subject to the
               provisions of Article 4.8, if purchasing class members shall have
               been found for some only of the shares  comprised in the transfer
               notice  pursuant  to Article  4.2 the  claims of such  purchasing
               class  members  made  pursuant  to  Article  4.2  shall  first be
               satisfied  in  preference  to the  claims of members of any other
               class made pursuant to Article 4.5.

          4.7  If in any case the proposing transferor after having become bound
               in accordance  with the  provisions of this Article 4 to transfer
               shares makes default in transferring  any such shares the Company
               may receive the  purchase  money on his behalf and may  authorise
               some person to execute a transfer of such shares on behalf of and
               as  attorney  for  the  proposing  transferor  in  favour  of the
               purchasing  class members or  purchasing  members as the case may
               be. The receipt of the Company for the purchase  money shall be a
               good  discharge to the  purchasing  class  members or  purchasing
               members as the case may be. The  Company  shall pay the  purchase
               money into a  separate  bank  account  and shall hold the same on
               trust for the proposing transferor.

          4.8  If the  Company  shall not give a sale  notice  to the  proposing
               transferor  within the time specified for that purpose (by virtue
               of Article 4.5) in Article 4.4 in respect of sales to  purchasing
               members of whatever class, he shall,  during the period of ninety
               days next  following the expiry of the time so  specified,  be at
               liberty to  transfer  all or any of the shares  comprised  in the
               transfer notice to any person or persons  PROVIDED THAT the price
               per  share   obtained  upon  such  share  transfer  shall  in  no
               circumstances  be less than the price per share  specified in the
               transfer  notice  served in  accordance  with  Article  4.1 or as
               certified in accordance with Article 4.3 (whichever  shall be the
               lower) and the other  terms  shall be no more  favourable  to the
               proposing  transferor  than those  offered by a third party which
               were specified in the transfer  notice (if any were so specified)
               and the  proposing  transferor  shall upon  request  furnish such
               information  to the directors as they shall require  (including a
               copy of the sale  and  purchase  agreement  and/or  transfer)  in
               relation to the price per share obtained and such other terms (if
               any) as aforesaid.  The directors may require to be satisfied (i)
               that such shares are being  transferred  in  pursuance  of a bona
               fide sale for the  consideration  stated in the transfer  without
               deduction,  rebate or allowance  whatsoever  to the purchaser and
               (ii) that no false declaration was made in the transfer notice by
               the proposing transferor,  and in either case if not so satisfied
               may refuse to register the instrument of transfer.

          4.9  The  directors  may also refuse to  register  the  instrument  of
               transfer if the  purchaser or any  transferee  under Article 4.16
               shall  not at the  time  of  presentation  of the  instrument  of
               transfer   have   entered   into  a  deed  of  adherence  to  the
               Shareholders Agreement in a form acceptable to the directors.

          4.10 If the  name or part of the  name or  initials  of the  proposing
               transferor are incorporated within the name of the Company at the
               time the shares the subject of the transfer notice are registered
               in the name of the  Purchaser,  the Company shall change its name
               within a period of one month from such registration to a name not
               incorporating  the  name or part of the name or  initials  of the
               proposing transferor.

          4.11 Any transfer or purported transfer of a share made otherwise than
               in accordance  with the  foregoing  provisions of Articles 4.1 to
               4.8 (inclusive) or in accordance with Article 4.16 below shall be
               null and void and of no effect.

          4.12 If and when  required  by  notice  in  writing  by the  holder or
               holders  of (in  aggregate)  a majority  in nominal  value of the
               other shares in the Company so to do (the "call notice"):-

               4.12.1 a member who  transfers  or purports to transfer any share
                    in the  Company  in breach of the  foregoing  provisions  of
                    these Articles  shall be bound to give a transfer  notice in
                    respect of the shares which he has  transferred or purported
                    to transfer in breach of these Articles; or

               4.12.2 a member who causes or permits any of the events specified
                    in  Article  4.13 or with  regard to whom any of the  events
                    specified in Article  4.13.4 occurs shall be bound to give a
                    transfer  notice in respect of all the shares  registered in
                    the name of such member;

               4.12.3 a member who fails to transfer  the shares  registered  in
                    the name of such  member  when  properly  required  so to do
                    pursuant to the terms of any written  agreement  between the
                    members  existing from time to time shall be bound to give a
                    transfer  notice in respect of all the shares  registered in
                    the name of such member;

               In the event of such  member  failing to serve a transfer  notice
               pursuant to Article  4.12.1,  4.12.2 or 4.12.3 within thirty days
               of the date of the call  notice  such  member  shall be deemed to
               have given a transfer  notice at the expiration of such period of
               thirty days and to have specified  therein as the price per share
               the fair value of each share to be certified in  accordance  with
               Article 4.3. The  provisions of Articles 4.2 to 4.10  (inclusive)
               and  Article  4.14 shall  mutatis  mutandis  apply save that such
               member  shall not be  entitled to withdraw  any  transfer  notice
               under Article 4.4.

          4.13 The events specified for the purposes of Article 4.12.2 are:-

               4.13.1 any  direction  (by  way  of  renunciation  nomination  or
                    otherwise) by a member  entitled to an allotment or transfer
                    of shares to the effect  that such  shares or any of them be
                    allotted or issued or  transferred to some person other than
                    himself;

               4.13.2 any  sale,  dealing  with  or  other  disposition  of  any
                    beneficial   interest  in  a  share   (whether  or  not  for
                    consideration or otherwise but excluding any transmission of
                    a share to any  person  becoming  entitled  to such share in
                    consequence  of the  death or  bankruptcy  of a  member)  by
                    whomsoever made and whether or not effected by an instrument
                    in  writing  save where the  disposition  is by service of a
                    transfer notice in accordance with these Articles;

               4.13.3 the holding of a share as a bare nominee for any person;

               4.13.4 in the case of a corporate  member,  such member  entering
                    into liquidation  (except a members'  voluntary  liquidation
                    for  the  purpose  of  reconstruction  or  amalgamation)  or
                    suffering an  administrative  receiver to be appointed  over
                    all or any of its  assets  or  suffering  an  administration
                    order to be made against it or anything  analogous to any of
                    the foregoing  under the law of any  jurisdiction  occurs in
                    relation to that corporate member;

          4.14 The directors may also refuse to register a transfer unless:-

               4.14.1 it is lodged at the office or at such  other  place as the
                    directors may appoint and is accompanied by the  certificate
                    for the shares to which it relates  and such other  evidence
                    as the directors may reasonably require to show the right of
                    the transferor to make the transfer; and

               4.14.2 it is in respect of only one class of shares; and

               4.14.3 it is in favour of not more than four transferees.

               The directors  shall  register a transfer of shares made pursuant
               to  Articles  4.1  to 4.8  (inclusive)  (subject  to the  express
               provisions  thereof) or Article 4.16 subject to the provisions of
               this Article 4.14.

          4.15 The  provisions  of Articles 4.1 to 4.9  (inclusive)  and Article
               4.11 may be waived in any particular case if all the members give
               their consent in writing.

          4.16 Notwithstanding  any other provision  contained in these Articles
               the  restrictions  on transfer  contained in this Article 4 shall
               not apply to any  transfer  by  Cinergy  Global  Power,  Inc.  or
               Industrial  Promotion  Services (Kenya)  Limited,  ("the Original
               Members" which expression  includes any of their respective Group
               Members) to a Group Member where a Group Member is defined as:-

               4.16.1 in relation to each of the Original Members, that Original
                    Member's  subsidiary or immediate,  intermediate or ultimate
                    holding  company  or  any  subsidiary  of any  such  holding
                    company  or any  other  company  or  entity  under  the same
                    control direct or indirect as any such holding  company,  in
                    each case at the relevant  time,  provided  that the Company
                    shall not be treated for the purposes of this Article 4.16.1
                    as a subsidiary of any member of the Company; and

               4.16.2 in  relation  to  Industrial  Promotion  Services  (Kenya)
                    Limited only, any company directly or indirectly  controlled
                    by the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development;

                    provided always that if any transferee  subsequently  ceases
                    to belong to a group of companies  (which for the  avoidance
                    of  doubt   includes   the  Aga  Khan   Fund  for   Economic
                    Development)   to  which  Cinergy  Global  Power,   Inc.  or
                    Industrial  Promotion Services (Kenya) Limited also belongs,
                    the  transferee  shall,  within  thirty  days of the date on
                    which it ceases so to belong,  serve a transfer  notice.  In
                    the  event of such  transferee  company  failing  to serve a
                    transfer  notice  within  such thirty day period it shall be
                    deemed at the end of such  thirty day period to have given a
                    transfer  notice in respect of all shares so transferred and
                    to have  specified  therein  as the price per share the fair
                    value  of each  share to be  certified  in  accordance  with
                    Article  4.3  and the  provisions  of  Articles  4.2 to 4.10
                    (inclusive) and Article 4.14 shall mutatis mutandis apply.

          4.17 The  provisions  of this  Article 4 are without  prejudice to any
               other  arrangements  with regard to the transfer of shares agreed
               between  the  members  from time to time and  recorded in writing
               including without  limitation any such arrangements  contained in
               any  subscription  and/or  shareholders  agreement which may from
               time to time bind the members.

5.   If any share of any class is transferred  pursuant to any of the provisions
     of these  Articles to a member holding  shares of a different  class,  such
     share shall as on and from the time of registration of the transfer of that
     share in the register of members of the Company be ipso facto  redesignated
     as a share of the same class as those already held by that member.

6.   For the purpose of ensuring that a transfer of shares is permitted pursuant
     to the  provisions of these Articles or that no  circumstances  have arisen
     whereby a transfer  notice may be required to be given,  the  directors may
     from time to time require any member or the legal personal  representatives
     of any deceased  member or any person named as  transferee  in any transfer
     lodged for  registration  to furnish to the Company  such  information  and
     evidence as the directors may think fit regarding any matter which they may
     deem relevant to such purpose.  Failing such  information or evidence being
     furnished to the  satisfaction  of the directors  within a reasonable  time
     after  request,  the directors  shall be entitled to refuse to register the
     transfer in question or (in case no transfer is in  question) to require by
     notice in writing that a transfer  notice be given in respect of the shares
     concerned.  In any case where the directors have duly required by notice in
     writing a  transfer  notice to be given in  respect  of any shares and such
     transfer  notice is not duly given within a period of thirty days from such
     notice such  transfer  notice shall be deemed to have been given at the end

          14.6 A vote given in  accordance  with the terms of an  instrument  of
               proxy  shall  be  valid  notwithstanding  the  previous  death or

               authority under which the proxy was executed,  on the transfer of
               the share in respect of which the proxy is given,  provided  that
               no intimation in writing of such death,  insanity,  revocation or
               transfer as aforesaid  shall have been received by the Company at
               the office  before the  commencement  of the meeting or adjourned

               general meetings (or being  corporations by their duly authorised
               representatives)  shall be as valid and  effective as if the same
               had been passed at a general meeting of the company duly convened
               and held.

          14.8 Any  corporation  which  is  a  member  of  the  Company  may  by

               meeting of the Company or of any class of members of the Company,
               and the person so  authorised  shall be entitled to exercise  the
               same powers on behalf of the  corporation  which he represents as
               that corporation  could exercise if it were an individual  member
               of the Company.

15.  Alternate directors

          15.1 Any director (other than an alternate director) may, by notice in

               meetings of the  directors  and of all meetings of  committees of
               the directors of which his appointor is a member  (subject to his
               giving to the  Company an address at which  notices may be served
               on him),  to  attend  and vote at any such  meeting  at which the
               director  appointing him is not personally  present and generally
               to perform all the  functions of his appointor at such meeting as
               a director in his  absence.  An alternate  director  shall not be
               entitled to receive any remuneration from the Company,  save that
               he  may  be  paid  by the  Company  such  part  (if  any)  of the
               remuneration otherwise payable to his appointor as such appointor
               may by notice in writing to the Company from time to time direct.

               alternate  director  shall  be  entitled  at any  meeting  of the
               directors or of any  committee  of the  directors to one vote for
               every director whom he represents in addition to his own vote (if
               any) as a  director,  but he  shall  count  as  only  one for the
               purpose of determining whether a quorum is present.

          15.4 Save as otherwise provided in the regulations of the Company,  an
               alternate  director shall be deemed for the purposes specified in
               Article 15.1 to be a director and shall alone be responsible  for
               his own acts and  defaults  and he shall  not be deemed to be the

                    arrangement  with the Company  (whether  legally  binding or
                    not) or to terminate or vary any contract or  arrangement to
                    which it is already a party,  then the relevant member shall
                    procure that all directors  appointed by the relevant member
                    declare their interest in that contract or arrangement.

          19.3 The quorum for the transaction of business of the directors shall
               throughout  the  meeting  be two  directors  or their  respective
               alternates.  Whilst  both "A" shares and "B" shares are in issue,
               such quorum shall  comprise one "A" director and one "B" director
               or their respective  alternates  Provided that if a quorum is not
               achieved at a reconvened  meeting of which  notice in  accordance
               with Article 19.4 has been given to all  directors  and alternate
               directors  and which has been  adjourned for want of a quorum and
               in the case of both meetings the quorum has not been achieved due
               to the non-attendance of a director or his alternate on behalf of
               the same member of the Company the directors shall be entitled to
               proceed  and  there  shall  be  deemed  to  be a  quorum  at  the
               reconvened  meeting if there is only one director  present  being
               either an `A' director or a `B' director (as the case may be).

          19.4 The  directors  may meet  together  for the despatch of business,
               adjourn and otherwise  regulate their meetings as they think fit.
               Unless all directors indicate their willingness to accept shorter
               notice of a meeting of the  directors,  at least 5 business days'
               prior  notice of the date,  time and place of each meeting of the
               directors shall be given. An agenda with relevant papers relating
               to the  issues  to be  considered  by the  directors  at any such
               meeting  shall be  distributed  to all  directors  and  alternate
               directors at least three business days in advance of the meeting.

          19.5 Notice of every  meeting to the  directors and the agenda for the
               meeting as provided  in Article  19.4 shall also be given to each
               director  and  alternate  director  who may for the time being be
               absent  from  Kenya and have given the  Company  an  address  for
               service.

          19.6 Resolutions  at  meetings  of  directors  shall  be  by a  simple
               majority vote of the directors or their alternates present at the
               meeting,  provided that, if both "A" shares and "B" shares are in
               issue, if the number of "A" directors or their alternates present
               at any  meeting  shall be less than two,  such "A"  directors  or
               their  alternates  who  are  present  shall  in  respect  of  all
               resolutions  be  entitled to cast a total of two votes and if the
               number  of "B"  directors  or  their  alternates  present  at any
               meeting  shall be less  than  two,  such "B"  directors  or their
               alternates who are present shall in respect of all resolutions be
               entitled to cast a total of two votes. In the case of an equality
               of votes, the Chairman shall have a second or casting vote.

          19.7 A  director  may,  and  the  secretary  on the  requisition  of a
               director  shall,  at any time summon a meeting of the  directors.
               Notice of every meeting of the directors  shall be given to every
               director  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  contained  to in
               Article 23.

          19.8 Any director including an alternate director may participate in a
               meeting of the directors or a committee of the directors of which
               he is a member  by means of a  conference  telephone  or  similar
               means   of   communications   equipment   whereby   all   persons
               participating   in  the   meeting   can  hear   each   other  and
               participation  in this  manner  shall  be  deemed  to  constitute
               presence in person at such meeting and, subject to these Articles
               and the Act,  he shall be  entitled  to vote and be  counted in a
               quorum accordingly.  Such a meeting shall be deemed to take place
               where the largest group of those  participating  is assembled or,
               if there is no such group, where the Chairman of the meeting then
               is.

          19.9 The continuing  directors may act  notwithstanding any vacancy in
               their body,  but, if and so long as their number is reduced below
               the number fixed by or pursuant to the regulations of the Company
               as the necessary quorum of directors, the continuing directors or
               director  may act for the  purpose  of  increasing  the number of
               directors  to that number,  or of summoning a general  meeting of
               the Company, but for no other purpose.

          19.10A resolution in writing, signed by all the directors for the time
               being  entitled to receive  notice of a meeting of the directors,
               shall be as valid  and  effectual  as if it had been  passed at a
               meeting of the directors duly convened and held.

          19.11Meetings  of the  directors  shall  be held at such  times as the
               directors may determine  provided  that unless  otherwise  agreed
               between the members  meetings of the  directors  shall be held at
               least two times a year.

20.  Business

          20.1 Any  branch  or kind of  business  which  the  Company  is either
               expressly  or by  implication  authorised  to  undertake  may  be
               undertaken  by the  directors at such time or times as they shall
               deem  fit  and,  further,  may  be  permitted  by  them  to be in
               abeyance,  whether  such branch or kind of business may have been
               actually  commenced or not so long as the  directors  may deem it
               expedient not to commence or proceed with the same.

          20.2 The office of the Company  shall be at such place in Kenya as the
               directors shall from time to time appoint.

          The  provisions of sections 178 to 180 inclusive of the Act shall be
          observed in relation to the secretary.

22.  The Seal

          The  directors  shall  provide for the safe  custody of the seal which
          shall only be used by the  authority  of the directors or a committee
          authorised  by the  directors in that behalf and every  instrument  to
          which the seal shall be affixed  shall be signed by a director  and by
          the  secretary  or by a  second  director  or  by  some  other  person
          appointed by the directors for that purpose.

23.  Certificates

          23.1 Every person whose name is entered as a member in the Register of
               Members shall be entitled,  without  payment,  to one certificate
               for all his  shares  of each  class  and,  when  part only of the
               shares  comprised in a certificate is sold or  transferred,  to a
               new certificate for the remainder of the shares so comprised,  or
               several  certificates  each  for one or more of his  shares  upon
               payment for every  certificate after the first of such sum as the
               directors  may  determine,  not  exceeding  Shillings one hundred
               (Shs. 100). Every  certificate  shall be issued within sixty days
               after  allotment or lodgement  of the  instrument  of transfer or
               within  such  other  period  as the  conditions  of  issue  shall
               provide,  shall be under the seal and shall  specify the share or
               shares to which it relates and the amount paid up thereon. In the
               case of shares held jointly by several persons, the Company shall
               not be bound to issue  more  than one  certificate  therefor  and
               delivery of a  certificate  to one of the several  joint  holders
               shall be sufficient delivery to all.

          23.2 If a share certificate is defaced,  lost or destroyed,  it may be
               replaced  on payment of such fee, if any,  as the  directors  may
               determine not exceeding  Shillings one hundred (Shs. 100) and, in
               the case of loss or  destruction,  on such  terms,  if any, as to
               evidence and indemnity and payment of the out-of-pocket  expenses
               of the Company of investigating  such evidence,  as the directors
               may think fit and, in case of defacement,  on delivery of the old
               certificate to the Company.

24.  Accounts


          24.1 The directors shall cause proper books of account to be kept with
               respect to:

               a)   all sums of money  received  and expended by the Company and
                    the matters in respect of which such receipt and expenditure
                    takes place;

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

               c)   the assets and liabilities of the Company.

          24.2 The books of account shall be kept at the office or at such other
               place or  places  in Kenya as the  directors  deem fit and  shall
               always be open to the inspection of the directors.

          24.3 The directors  may, from time to time,  determine  whether and to
               what  extent  and  at  what  times  and  places  and  under  what
               conditions or  regulations  the accounts and books of the Company
               or any of them shall be open to the  inspection  of  members  not
               being directors and no member,  not being a director,  shall have
               any right of  inspecting  any  account or book or document of the
               Company  except as  conferred  by  statute or  authorised  by the
               directors or by the Company in general meeting.

          24.4 The  directors  shall  from  time to  time,  in  accordance  with
               sections 148 to 152  inclusive,  and 154, 155 and 157 of the Act,
               cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general
               meeting such profit and loss accounts, balance sheets and reports
               as are referred to in those sections.

          24.5 A copy of every balance sheet,  including every document required
               by law to be  annexed  thereto,  which is to be laid  before  the
               Company in general meeting, together with a copy of the auditor's
               report,  shall,  not less than twenty-one days before the date of
               the  meeting,  be sent to every  member  of and  every  holder of
               income notes or debentures of the Company.

25.  Audit

          Auditors  shall be appointed and their duties  regulated in accordance
          with sections 159 to 162 of the Act.

26.  Dividends and reserve

          26.1 The Company in general meeting may by special  resolution declare
               dividends, but no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by
               the directors.  Subject to making  prudent  provision for working
               capital requirements the directors shall recommend for payment as
               dividends  as much of the profits of the Company as are  lawfully
               available for distribution.

          26.2 Subject as provided in Article 26.1 the directors shall from time
               to time pay to the members  such  interim  dividends as appear to
               the directors to be justified by the profits of the Company.

          26.3 No dividend shall be paid otherwise than out of profits.

          26.4 Pending  payment  of  any  dividend  or  other  distribution  the
               directors may, at their discretion,  either employ the sums to be
               paid in the  business  of the  Company or invest the same in such
               investments  (other than shares of the Company) as the  directors
               may from time to time think fit.

          26.5 Subject to the rights of persons, if any, entitled to shares with
               special  rights as to dividend,  all dividends  shall be declared
               and paid according to the amounts paid or credited as paid on the
               shares in respect of which the  dividend  is paid,  but no amount
               paid or  credited as paid on a share in advance of calls shall be
               treated for the  purposes  of this  Article as paid on the share.
               All dividends  shall be apportioned and paid  proportionately  to
               the amounts  paid or  credited  as paid on the shares  during any
               portion  or  portions  of the  period  in  respect  of which  the
               dividend is paid;  but if any share is issued on terms  providing
               that it shall rank for  dividend as from a  particular  date such
               share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

          26.6 The directors may deduct from any dividend  payable to any member
               all  sums of  money  (if  any)  presently  payable  by him to the
               Company on  account  of calls or  otherwise  in  relation  to the
               shares of the Company.

          26.7 Any general meeting  declaring a dividend or bonus may by special
               resolution  direct  payment of such  dividend or bonus  wholly or
               partly by the  distribution  of specific assets and in particular
               of paid up shares,  debentures  or  debenture  stock of any other
               company  or in any one or more of such  ways,  and the  directors
               shall give effect to such  resolution,  and where any  difficulty
               arises in regard to such  distribution,  the directors may settle
               the same as they think  expedient,  and in  particular  may issue
               fractional  certificates  and fix the value for  distribution  of
               such specific  assets or any part thereof and may determine  that
               cash  payments  shall be made to any members  upon the footing of
               the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all  parties,
               and may vest any such  specific  assets in  trustees  as may seem
               expedient to the directors.

          26.8 Any dividend, interest or other moneys payable in cash in respect
               of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant  sent through the post
               directed to the registered  address of the holder or, in the case
               of joint holders,  to the  registered  address of that one of the
               joint holders who is first named on the register of members or to
               such  person and to such  address as the holder or joint  holders
               may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made
               payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of
               two or more joint  holders may give  effectual  receipts  for any
               dividends,  bonuses  or other  moneys  payable  in respect of the
               shares held by them as joint holders.

          26.9 No dividend shall bear interest against the Company.

27.  Capitalisation of profits

          27.1 The Company in general  meeting by special  resolution may on the
               recommendation  of the directors  resolve that it is desirable to
               capitalise  any part of the amount for the time being standing to
               the credit of any of the  Company's  reserve  accounts  or to the
               credit of the profit and loss account  which is not available for
               distribution  by applying  such sum in paying up in full unissued
               shares to be allotted as fully paid bonus shares to those members
               of the  Company  who would have been  entitled  to that sum if it
               were   distributed   by  way  of   dividend   (and  in  the  same
               proportions),  and  the  directors  shall  give  effect  to  such
               resolution.

          27.2 Whenever a resolution  is passed in pursuance of Article 27.1 the
               directors shall make all  appropriations  and applications of the
               undivided  profits  resolved to be capitalised  thereby,  and all
               allotments and issues of fully-paid shares or debentures, if any,
               and  generally  shall  do all acts and  things  required  to give
               effect  thereto,  with full power to the  directors  to make such
               provision by the issue of fractional  certificates  or by payment
               in cash or  otherwise as they think fit for the case of shares or
               debentures  becoming  distributable  in  fractions,  and  also to
               authorise  any person to enter on behalf of all members  entitled
               thereto  into an  agreement  with the Company  providing  for the
               allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any
               further  shares or  debentures to which they may be entitled upon
               such capitalisation, or (as the case may require) for the payment
               up by the Company on their behalf, by the application  thereto of
               their  respective  proportions  of  the  profits  resolved  to be
               capitalised,  of the amounts or any part of the amounts remaining
               unpaid on their  existing  shares,  and any agreement  made under
               such  authority  shall  be  effective  and  binding  on all  such
               members.

28.  Notices

          28.1 The Company may give any notice to a member either  personally or
               by sending it by facsimile to a facsimile  number supplied by the
               member for such purpose or by first class  registered  post which
               shall be by air mail for any member or director or his  alternate
               whose registered  address is outside Kenya, in a prepaid envelope
               addressed to the member at his  registered  address or by leaving
               it at that address.  In the case of joint holders of a share, all
               notices  shall be given to the joint  holder  whose  name  stands
               first in the register of members in respect of the joint  holding
               and notice so given shall be  sufficient  notice to all the joint
               holders.  A member whose  registered  address is not within Kenya
               and who gives to the  Company  an  address  and/or  fax number at
               which  notices  may be given to him  shall  be  entitled  to have
               notices given to him at that address or fax number.

          28.2 Where a notice is sent by first class  registered post whether or
               not by air mail,  production  of the  receipt  from the  relevant
               postal  authorities shall be conclusive  evidence that the notice
               was  given  and  shall  be  deemed  to  have  been  given  at the
               expiration of seven days after the envelope  containing  the same
               is posted.  Where a notice is sent by  facsimile a print out from
               the fax  machine  indicating  that the fax has been  successfully
               transmitted  to the correct fax number of the  recipient as given
               to the  Company  by him  shall be  conclusive  evidence  that the
               notice  was  given  and the  notice  shall be deemed to have been
               given at the time of transmission.

29.  Indemnity

          29.1 Subject  to the  provisions  of  section  206 of  the  Act  every
               director  (including  an alternate  director) or other officer of
               the Company shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company

30.  Variation of class rights

     If at any time the share  capital of the Company is divided into  different
     classes  of shares,  the rights  attached  to any class  (unless  otherwise
     provided  by the  terms of the issue of the  shares  for 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  in number of the issued shares of
     that class, or with the sanction of an extraordinary resolution passed at a
     separate  general  meeting of the holders of the shares of that  class.  To
     every such separate  general  meeting the provisions of the  regulations of
     the  Company  relating to general  meetings  shall  apply,  but so that the
     necessary  quorum shall be two persons at least holding or  representing by
     proxy  one-third  in number of the issued  shares of the class and that any
     holder of shares of the class  present  in person or by proxy may  demand a
     poll. If any such separate  general meeting shall be adjourned owing to the
     absence of a quorum and if at the  adjourned  meeting a quorum shall not be
     present  within  half-an-hour  from the time  appointed for such  adjourned
     meeting  the  holder or holders  of shares of the class  concerned  who are
     present  shall  constitute a quorum and shall have power to decide upon all
     matters  which could  properly  have been  disposed of at the meeting  from
     which the adjournment  took place.  The provisions of Section 74 of the Act
     shall apply.
