Resolution 10

To approve that the Company generally be and is hereby authorised for the purposes of section 315 of the Companies (Guernsey) Law, 2008 as amended (the "Law") to make market acquisitions (as defined in the Law) of ordinary shares in the capital of the Company of par value 0.01 penny each (the "Ordinary Shares") provided that:

d.         The authority hereby conferred shall (unless previously renewed or revoked) expire at the end of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2016 or, if earlier, the date falling eighteen months from the passing of these resolutions;

e.         The Company may make a contract to purchase its own Ordinary Shares under the authority hereby conferred prior to the expiry of such authority which will or may be executed wholly or partly after the expiry of such authority, and may make a purchase of its own Ordinary Shares in pursuance of any such contract; and

f.          any Ordinary Share acquired by the Company pursuant to the above authority may, subject to the requirements of the Law, be held as a treasury share in accordance with the Law or be cancelled by the Company.

Resolution 11

THAT the Directors of the Company from time to time (the "Board") be and are hereby generally empowered in accordance with Article 40(4) of the Company's articles of incorporation (in substitution for any existing such power or authority) to allot up to: (i) the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares as represent less than 10 per cent. of the number of Ordinary Shares already admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities immediately following the passing of this resolution and (ii) such number of Ordinary Shares as may be agreed between the Company and the provider from time to time of investment advisory services to the Company (the "Investment Advisor") in lieu of a cash payment in respect of the Investment Advisor's entitlement to an incentive fee (if any) pursuant to the investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Investment Advisor prevailing at the time, in each case as if the pre-emption provisions contained in Article 40(1) of the Company's articles of incorporation did not apply to any such allotment, provided that this power shall (unless previously revoked, varied or renewed by the Company) expire on the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2016, save that the Company may make prior to such expiry any offer or agreement which would or might require shares to be allotted after expiry of such period and the Board may allot Ordinary Shares pursuant to such an offer or agreement notwithstanding the expiry of the authority given by this resolution.
