All Resolutions proposed at the Annual General Meeting of the Company held on
8th May 2002 were duly passed, including the following item of special business
in relation to amendments to the Company's Articles of Association:

'That the Articles of Association be amended as follows:-


    (a)     by inserting in Article 2 following the definition of 'The
    Directors' a new definition as follows:-

    ' 'Electronic Communication' means information communicated or intended to
    be communicated to a person, other than its originator, that is generated,
    communicated, processed, sent, received, recorded, stored or displayed by
    electronic means or in electronic form but does not include information
    communicated in the form of speech unless the speech is processed at its
    destination by an automatic voice recognition system. Any references in this
    definition, Article 2 or Article 127 to 'addressee', 'electronic',
    'information', 'originator' or 'person' shall have the same meaning as in
    Section 2 of the Electronic Commerce Act, 2000, or as that section may be
    amended by subsequent legislation.'

    (b)     by deleting the third last paragraph of Article 2 commencing with
    the words 'Expressions referring to writing' and inserting in its place the
    following:

    'Expressions referring to writing shall be construed as including references
    to printing, lithography, photography, electronic and other modes of
    representing or of reproducing words in visible form and cognate words shall
    be similarly construed.'

    (c)     by inserting after Article 126 a new Article to be known as Article
    127 and the accompanying heading as follows:-

            'USE OF ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION

            127.      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
            these Articles, whenever any person (including without limitation
            the Company, a Director, the Secretary, a member or any officer or
            person) is required or permitted by these Articles to give
            information in writing, such information may be given by electronic
            means or in electronic form, whether as electronic communication or
            otherwise, but only if the use of such electronic or other
            communication conforms with all relevant legislation.'

    (d)     by inserting after paragraph (b)(iv) of Article 132 a new paragraph
    to be known as Article 132(b)(v) as follows:-

            '(v)     An election made pursuant to paragraph (b)(i) of this
            Article shall be deemed to be withdrawn with effect from 8th May,
            2002.'

    (e)     by substituting 'three' for 'five' in the third last line of
    paragraph (b)(ii) of Article 134.

    (f)     by the re-numbering of Articles as a consequence of the addition of
    these Articles and paragraphs and by the consequential re-numbering of
    references in Articles and in the Index to other Articles.'
