2.   POWER TO ISSUE SHARES

     2.1  Subject to these Bye-laws and to any resolution of the Members to the
          contrary, and without prejudice to any special rights previously
          conferred on the holders of any existing shares or class of shares,
          the Board shall have the power to issue any unissued shares of the
          Company on such terms and conditions as it may determine.

     2.2  Without limitation to the provisions of Bye-law 4, subject to the
          provisions of the Act, any preference shares may be issued or
          converted into shares that (at a determinable date or at the option of
          the Company or the holder) are liable to be redeemed on such terms and
          in such manner as may be determined by the Board (before the issue or
          conversion).

3.   POWER OF THE COMPANY TO PURCHASE ITS SHARES

     3.1  The Company may purchase its own shares in accordance with the
          provisions of the Act on such terms as the Board shall think fit. The
          Board may exercise all the powers of the Company to purchase all or
          any part of its own shares in accordance with the Act.

     3.2  Without prejudice to the generality of Bye-law 3.1, subject to the
          Act, if the Board in its absolute and unfettered discretion, on behalf
          of the Company, determines that share ownership by any Member owning
          more than 5% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares (as
          defined in Bye-law 4.1) that is not either a U.S. citizen or a
          qualified resident of the U.S. or of the contracting state of any
          applicable tax treaty with the U.S. (as determined for purposes of the
          relevant provision of the limitation on benefits article of such
          treaty) may result in adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences to
          the Company or to any of its subsidiaries (wherever incorporated), the
          Company will have the option, but not the obligation, to purchase all
          or part of the shares held by such Member (to the extent the Board, in
          the reasonable exercise of its discretion, determines it is necessary
          to avoid or cure such adverse consequences) for immediately available
          funds in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares on
          the



AIRCASTLE LIMITED                                                         Page 5
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


          date the Company sends the Repurchase Notice referred to below (the
          "Repurchase Price"); provided that the Board will use its reasonable
          efforts to exercise this option equitably among similarly situated
          Members (to the extent feasible under the circumstances). In that
          event, the Company will also be entitled to assign its purchase right
          to a third party or parties including the other Members, with the
          consent of such assignee. Each Member shall be bound by the
          determination by the Company to purchase or assign its right to
          purchase such Member's shares and, if so required by the Company,
          shall sell the number of shares that the Company requires it to sell.

     3.3  In the event that the Company or its assignee(s) determines to
          purchase any shares in accordance with Bye-law 3.2, the Company shall
          provide each Member concerned with written notice of such
          determination (a "Repurchase Notice") at least 7 calendar days prior
          to such purchase or such shorter period as each such Member may
          authorize, specifying the date on which any such shares are to be
          purchased and the Repurchase Price. The Company may revoke the
          Repurchase Notice at any time before it (or its assignee(s)) pays for
          the shares. Neither the Company nor its assignee(s) shall be obliged
          to give general notice to the 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 7 calendar days after
          receipt of the Repurchase Notice by the Member.

4.   RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

     4.1  At the date these Bye-laws are adopted, the share capital of the
          Company shall be divided into two classes: (i) 250,000,000 common
          shares of par value US$0.01 each (the "Common Shares") and (ii)
          50,000,000 preference shares of par value US$0.01 each (the
          "Preference Shares").

     4.2  The holders of Common Shares shall, subject to the provisions of these
          Bye-laws (including, without limitation, the rights attaching to
          Preference Shares):

          (a)  be entitled to one vote per share;

          (b)  be entitled to such dividends as the Board may from time to time
               declare;

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


          (c)  in the event of a winding-up or dissolution of the Company,
               whether voluntary or involuntary or for the purpose of a
               reorganisation or otherwise or upon any distribution of capital,
               be entitled to the surplus assets of the Company; and

          (d)  generally be entitled to enjoy all of the rights attaching to
               shares.

     4.3  The Board is authorised to provide for the issuance of the Preference
          Shares in one or more series, and to establish from time to time the
          number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the
          designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such
          series and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof
          (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such matters and the issuance of
          such Preference Shares shall not be deemed to vary the rights attached
          to the Common Shares or, subject to the terms of any other series of
          Preference Shares, to vary the rights attached to any other series of
          Preference Shares). The authority of the Board with respect to each
          series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the
          following:

          (a)  the number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive
               designation of that series;

          (b)  the dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends
               shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date or dates, and the
               relative rights of priority, if any, of the payment of dividends
               on shares of that series;

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

          (d)  whether that series shall have conversion or exchange privileges
               (including, without limitation, conversion into Common Shares),
               and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion or
               exchange, including provision for adjustment of the conversion or
               exchange rate in such events as the Board shall determine;

          (e)  whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable or
               repurchaseable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such
               redemption or repurchase, including the manner of selecting
               shares for redemption or repurchase if less than all shares are
               to be redeemed or repurchased, the date or dates upon or after
               which they shall be redeemable or repurchaseable, and the amount
               per share payable in case of redemption or repurchase,

               which amount may vary under different conditions and at different
               redemption or repurchase dates;

          (f)  whether that series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption
               or repurchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and
               amount of such sinking fund;

          (g)  the right of the shares of that series to the benefit of
               conditions and restrictions upon the creation of indebtedness of
               the Company or any subsidiary, upon the issue of any additional
               shares (including additional shares of such series or any other
               series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other
               distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other
               acquisition by the Company or any subsidiary of any issued shares
               of the Company;

          (h)  the rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary
               or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
               Company, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment
               of shares of that series; and

          (i)  any other relative participating, optional or other special
               rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of that
               series.

     4.4  Any Preference Shares of any series which have been redeemed (whether
          through the operation of a sinking fund or otherwise) or which, if
          convertible or exchangeable, have been converted into or exchanged for
          shares of any other class or classes shall have the status of
          authorised and unissued Preference Shares of the same series and may
          be reissued as a part of the series of which they were originally a
          part or may be reclassified and reissued as part of a new series of
          Preference Shares to be created by resolution or resolutions of the
          Board or as part of any other series of Preference Shares, all subject
          to the conditions and the restrictions on issuance set forth in the
          resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issue
          of any series of Preference Shares.

     4.5  At the discretion of the Board, whether or not in connection with the
          issuance and sale of any shares or other securities of the Company,
          the Company may issue securities, contracts, warrants or other
          instruments evidencing any shares, option rights, securities having
          conversion or option rights, or obligations on such terms, conditions
          and other provisions as are fixed by the Board,

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


          including, without limiting the generality of this authority,
          conditions that preclude or limit any person or persons owning or
          offering to acquire a specified number or percentage of the issued
          Common Shares, other shares, option rights, securities having
          conversion or option rights, or obligations of the Company or
          transferee of the person or persons from exercising, converting,
          transferring or receiving the shares, option rights, securities having
          conversion or option rights, or obligations.

5.   CALLS ON SHARES

     5.1  The Board may make such calls as it thinks fit upon the Members in
          respect of any monies (whether in respect of nominal value or premium)
          unpaid on the shares allotted to or held by such Members (and not made
          payable at fixed times by the terms and conditions of issue) and, if a
          call is not paid on or before the day appointed for payment thereof,
          the Member may at the discretion of the Board be liable to pay the
          Company interest on the amount of such call at such rate as the Board
          may determine, from the date when such call was payable up to the
          actual date of payment. The Board may differentiate between the
          holders as to the amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment
          of such calls.

     5.2  Any sum which by the terms of allotment of a share becomes payable
          upon issue or at any fixed date, whether on account of the nominal
          value of the share or by way of premium, shall for all the purposes of
          these Bye-laws be deemed to be a call duly made and payable, on the
          date on which, by the terms of issue, the same becomes payable, and in
          case of non-payment all the relevant provisions of these Bye-laws as
          to payment of interest, costs, charges and expenses, forfeiture or
          otherwise shall apply as if such sum had become payable by virtue of a
          call duly made and notified.

     5.3  The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to
          pay all calls in respect thereof.

     5.4  The Company may accept from any Member the whole or a part of the
          amount remaining unpaid on any shares held by him, although no part of
          that amount has been called up.



AIRCASTLE LIMITED                                                         Page 9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


6.   PROHIBITION ON FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

     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 the acquisition or proposed acquisition by
     any person of any shares in the Company, but nothing in this Bye-law shall
     prohibit transactions permitted under the Act.

7.   FORFEITURE OF SHARES

     7.1  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 any time 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 thereto as circumstances admit, of
          the following:

            Notice of Liability to Forfeiture for Non-Payment of Call
                       Aircastle Limited (the " Company")

          You have failed to pay the call of [amount of call] made on the [ ]
          day of [ ], 200[ ], in respect of the [number] share(s) [number in
          figures] standing in your name in the Register of Members of the
          Company, on the [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ], the day appointed for payment
          of such call. You are hereby notified that unless you pay such call
          together with interest thereon at the rate of [ ] per annum computed
          from the said [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ] at the registered office of the
          Company the share(s) will be liable to be forfeited.

          Dated this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]


          ----------------------------------------------
          [Signature of Secretary] By Order of the Board

     7.2  If the requirements of such notice are not complied with, any such
          share may at any time 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 may be disposed of as the Board shall
          determine.



AIRCASTLE LIMITED                                                        Page 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     7.3  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.

     7.4  The Board may accept the surrender of any shares which it is in a
          position to forfeit on such terms and conditions as may be agreed.
          Subject to those terms and conditions, a surrendered share shall be
          treated as if it had been forfeited.

8.   SHARE CERTIFICATES

     8.1  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, specifying the amount paid on such
          shares. 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.

     8.2  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 the shares have been allotted.

     8.3  If any share 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 it sees fit.

9.   FRACTIONAL SHARES

     The Company may issue its shares in fractional denominations and deal with
     such fractions to the same extent as its whole shares and shares in
     fractional denominations shall have in proportion to the respective
     fractions represented thereby all of the rights of whole shares including
     (but without limiting the generality of the foregoing) the right to vote,
     to receive dividends and distributions and to participate in a winding-up.

                             REGISTRATION OF SHARES

10.  REGISTER OF MEMBERS

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


     10.1 The Board shall cause to be kept in one or more books a Register of
          Members and shall enter therein the particulars required by the Act.

     10.2 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 in accordance with the
          Act, be closed for any time or times not exceeding in the whole thirty
          days in each year.

11.  REGISTERED HOLDER ABSOLUTE OWNER

     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 claim or other claim to, or interest in, such share
     on the part of any other person.

12.  TRANSFER OF REGISTERED SHARES

     12.1 An instrument of transfer shall be in writing in the form of the
          following, or as near thereto as circumstances admit, or in such other
          form as the Board may accept:

                          Transfer of a Share or Shares

                        Aircastle Limited (the "Company")

          FOR VALUE RECEIVED _______________ [amount], I, [name of transferor]
          hereby sell, assign and transfer unto [transferee] of [address],
          [number] of shares of the Company.

          DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]

          Signed by:                           In the presence of:


          ----------------------------------   ---------------------------------
          Transferor                           Witness


          ----------------------------------   ---------------------------------
          Transferee                           Witness

     12.2 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



AIRCASTLE LIMITED                                                        Page 12
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


          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.

     12.3 The Board may refuse to recognise any instrument of transfer unless 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.

     12.4 The joint holders of any share may transfer such share to one or more
          of such joint holders, and the surviving holder or holders of any
          share previously held by them jointly with a deceased Member may
          transfer any such share to the executors or administrators of such
          deceased Member.

     12.5 The Board may in its absolute discretion and without assigning any
          reason therefor refuse to register the transfer of a share which is
          not fully paid. The Board shall refuse to register a transfer unless
          all applicable consents, authorisations and permissions of any
          governmental body or agency in Bermuda have been obtained. If the
          Board refuses to register a transfer of any share the Secretary shall,
          within three months after the date on which the transfer was lodged
          with the Company, send to the transferor and transferee notice of the
          refusal.

     12.6 Shares may be transferred without a written instrument if transferred
          by an appointed agent or otherwise in accordance with the Act.

13.  TRANSMISSION OF REGISTERED SHARES

     13.1 In the case of the death of a Member, the survivor or survivors where
          the deceased Member was a joint holder, and the legal personal
          representatives of the deceased Member where the deceased Member was a
          sole holder, shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as
          having any title to the deceased Member's interest in the shares.
          Nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased joint
          holder from any liability in respect of any share which had been
          jointly held by such deceased Member with other persons. Subject to
          the provisions of the Act, for the purpose of this Bye-law, legal
          personal representative means the executor or administrator of a
          deceased Member or such other person as the Board may, in its absolute
          discretion, decide as being properly authorised to deal with the
          shares of a deceased Member.

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


     13.2 Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death or
          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 writing in the form, or as near
          thereto as circumstances admit, of the following:

     Transfer by a Person Becoming Entitled on Death/Bankruptcy of a Member

                       Aircastle Limited (the " Company")

          I/We, having become entitled in consequence of the [death/bankruptcy]
          of [name and address of deceased/bankrupt Member] to [number] share(s)
          standing in the Register of Members of the Company in the name of the
          said [name of deceased/bankrupt Member] instead of being registered
          myself/ourselves, elect to have [name of transferee] (the
          "Transferee") registered as a transferee of such share(s) and I/we do
          hereby accordingly transfer the said share(s) to the Transferee to
          hold the same unto the Transferee, his or her executors,
          administrators and assigns, subject to the conditions on which the
          same were held at the time of the execution hereof; and the Transferee
          does hereby agree to take the said share(s) subject to the same
          conditions.

          DATED this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]

          Signed by:                           In the presence of:


          ----------------------------------   ---------------------------------
          Transferor                           Witness


          ----------------------------------   ---------------------------------
          Transferee                           Witness

     13.3 On the presentation of the foregoing materials 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall, in any 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 death or bankruptcy, as the case may be.

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


     13.4 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.

                           ALTERATION OF SHARE CAPITAL

14.  POWER TO ALTER CAPITAL

     14.1 The Company may if authorised by resolution of the Members increase,
          divide, consolidate, subdivide, change the currency denomination of,
          diminish or otherwise alter or reduce its share capital in any manner
          permitted by the Act.

     14.2 Where, on any alteration or reduction 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.

15.  VARIATION OF RIGHTS ATTACHING TO SHARES

     If, at any time, 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
     50% 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 the class at which meeting the necessary quorum
     shall be two persons at least holding or representing by proxy two-thirds
     of the issued shares of the class. 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.

                          DIVIDENDS AND CAPITALISATION

16.  DIVIDENDS

     16.1 The Board may, subject to these Bye-laws and in accordance with the
          Act, declare a dividend to be paid to the Members, in proportion to
          the number of shares held by them, and such dividend



AIRCASTLE LIMITED                                                        Page 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


          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. No
          unpaid dividend shall bear interest as against the Company.

     16.2 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the
          Members entitled to receive any dividend.

     16.3 The Company may pay dividends in proportion to the amount paid up on
          each share where a larger amount is paid up on some shares than on
          others.

     16.4 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. No unpaid distribution shall bear interest as against the
          Company.

17.  POWER TO SET ASIDE PROFITS

     The Board may, before declaring a dividend, set aside out of the surplus or
     profits of the Company, such sum as it thinks proper as a reserve to be
     used to meet contingencies or for equalising dividends or for any other
     purpose.

18.  METHOD OF PAYMENT

     18.1 Any dividend or other monies payable in respect of a share may be paid
          by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the address of
          the Member in the Register of Members (in the case of joint Members,
          the senior joint holder, seniority being determined by the order in
          which the names stand in the Register of Members), or by direct
          transfer to such bank account as such Member may direct. Every such
          cheque shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is
          sent or to such persons as the Member may direct, and payment of the
          cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company. Every such
          cheque or warrant shall be sent at the risk of the person entitled to
          the money represented thereby. 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.

     18.2 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.

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


     18.3 Any dividend and or other monies payable in respect of a share which
          has remained unclaimed for 6 years from the date when it became due
          for payment shall, if the Board so resolves, be forfeited and cease to
          remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend or
          other moneys payable in respect of a share may (but need not) be paid
          by the Company into an account separate from the Company's own
          account. Such payment shall not constitute the Company a trustee in
          respect thereof.

     18.4 The Company shall be entitled to cease sending dividend cheques and
          warrants by post or otherwise to a Member if those instruments have
          been returned undelivered to, or left uncashed by, that Member on at
          least two consecutive occasions, or, following one such occasion,
          reasonable enquiries have failed to establish the Member's new
          address. The entitlement conferred on the Company by this Bye-law 18.4
          in respect of any Member shall cease if the Member claims a dividend
          or cashes a dividend cheque or warrant.

19.  CAPITALISATION

     19.1 The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum 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
          (except in connection with the conversion of shares of one class to
          shares of another class) to the Members.

     19.2 The Board may resolve to capitalise any sum for the time being
          standing to the credit of a reserve account or sums otherwise
          available for dividend or distribution by applying such amounts in
          paying up in full partly paid or nil paid shares of those Members who
          would have been entitled to such sums if they were distributed by way
          of dividend or distribution.

     Significant Shareholder or any Affiliate of a Significant Shareholder,

          before or after such anniversary the notice must be so delivered or
          mailed and received not later than 10 days following the date on which
          notice of the annual general meeting was mailed or the date on which
          public disclosure of the date of the annual general meeting was made,
          whichever first occurs, and (ii) in the case of a special general

          whichever first occurs.

     22.5 To be in proper written form, a notice given to the Secretary pursuant
          to Bye-law 22.3 must set forth as to each matter such Member proposes
          to bring before the general meeting: (i) a brief description of the
          business desired to be brought before the general meeting and the
          reasons for conducting such business at the general meeting, (ii) the
          name and record address of such Member, (iii) the class or series and
          number of shares of the Company which are registered in the name of
          such Member, (iv) a description of all arrangements or understandings
          between such Member and any other person or persons (including their
          names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such Member
          and any material interest of such Member in such business, and (v) a
          representation that such Member intends to appear in person or by
          proxy at the general meeting to bring such business before the general
          meeting.

     22.6 Once business has been properly brought before the general meeting in
          accordance with the procedures set forth in this Bye-law, nothing in
          this Bye-law shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any Member of
          any such business. If the chairman of a general meeting determines
          that business was not properly brought before the meeting in
          accordance with this Bye-law, the chairman shall declare to the
          meeting that the business was not properly brought before the meeting
          and such business shall not be transacted.

     22.7 No business may be transacted at a general meeting, other than
          business that is either (i) properly brought before the general
          meeting by or at the direction of the Board (or any duly authorized
          committee thereof); or (ii) properly brought before the general
          meeting by any Member or Members in accordance with the Act or these
          Bye-laws.

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


          meeting is to be held, that the election of Directors will take place
          thereat, and as far as practicable, the other business to be conducted
          at the meeting.

     23.2 Not less than 10 nor more than 60 days' notice of a special general
          meeting shall be given to each Member entitled to attend and vote
          thereat, stating the date, time, place and the general nature of the
          business to be considered at the meeting, provided, however, that if a
          special general meeting is called upon the request of a Significant
          Shareholder or an Affiliate of a Significant Shareholder in accordance
          with Bye-law 21, then not less than 5 days' notice of such special
          general meeting shall be given.

     23.3 The Board may fix any date as the record date for determining the
          Members entitled to receive notice of and to vote at any general
          meeting of the Company.

     23.4 A general meeting of the Company shall, notwithstanding that it is
          called on shorter notice than that specified in these Bye-laws, be
          deemed to have been properly called if it is so agreed by (i) all the
          Members entitled to attend and vote thereat in the case of an annual
          general meeting; and (ii) by a majority in number of the Members
          having the right to attend and vote at the meeting, being a majority
          together holding not less than 95% in nominal value of the shares
          giving a right to attend and vote thereat in the case of a special
          general meeting.

     23.5 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the
          non-receipt of a notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled
          to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that
          meeting.

24.  GIVING NOTICE

     24.1 A notice may be given by the Company to any Member either by
          delivering it to such Member in person or by sending it to such
          Member's address in the Register of Members or to such other address
          given for the purpose. For the purposes of this Bye-law, a notice may
          be sent by letter mail, courier service, cable, telex, telecopier,
          facsimile, electronic mail or other mode of representing words in a
          legible form.

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


     24.2 Any notice required to be given to a Member shall, with respect to any
          shares held jointly by two or more persons, be given to whichever of
          such persons is named first in the Register of Members and notice so
          given shall be sufficient notice to all the holders of such shares.

     24.3 Save as provided by Bye-law 24.4, any notice shall be deemed to have
          been served at the time when the same would be delivered in the
          ordinary course of transmission and, in proving such service, it shall
          be sufficient to prove that the notice was properly addressed and
          prepaid, if posted, at the time when it was posted, delivered to the
          courier or to the cable company or transmitted by telex, facsimile,
          electronic mail, or such other method as the case may be.

     24.4 Mail notice shall be deemed to have been served seven days after the
          date on which it is deposited, with postage prepaid, in the mail of
          any member state of the European Union, the United States, or Bermuda.

     24.5 The Company shall be under no obligation to send a notice or other
          document to the address shown for any particular Member in the
          Register of Members if the Board considers that the legal or practical
          problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any regulatory body
          or stock exchange in, the territory in which that address is situated
          are such that it is necessary or expedient not to send the notice or
          document concerned to such Member at such address and may require a
          Member with such an address to provide the Company with an alternative
          acceptable address for delivery of notices by the Company.

25.  POSTPONEMENT OR CANCELLATION OF GENERAL MEETING

     The Chairman or the President may, and the Secretary on instruction from
     the Chairman or the President shall, postpone or cancel any general meeting
     called in accordance with the provisions of these Bye-laws (other than a
     meeting requisitioned under these Bye-laws) provided that notice of
     postponement or cancellation is given to each Member before the time for
     such meeting. Fresh notice of the date, time and place for the postponed or
     cancelled meeting shall be given to the Members in accordance with the
     provisions of these Bye-laws.

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


26.  ATTENDANCE AND SECURITY AT GENERAL MEETINGS

     26.1 Members may participate in any general meeting by means of such
          telephone, electronic or other communication facilities as permit all
          persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other
          simultaneously and instantaneously, and participation in such a
          meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

     26.2 The Board may, and at any general meeting, the chairman of such
          meeting may make any arrangement and impose any requirement or
          restriction it or he considers appropriate to ensure the security of a
          general meeting including, without limitation, requirements for
          evidence of identity to be produced by those attending the meeting,
          the searching of their personal property and the restriction of items
          that may be taken into the meeting place. The Board and, at any
          general meeting, the chairman of such meeting are entitled to refuse
          entry to a person who refuses to comply with any such arrangements,
          requirements or restrictions.

27.  QUORUM AT GENERAL MEETINGS

     27.1 At any general meeting of the Company two or more persons present in
          person at the start of the meeting and representing in person or by
          proxy in excess of 50% of all votes attaching to all shares of the
          Company in issue entitling the holder to vote at the meeting shall
          form a quorum for the transaction of business.

     27.2 If within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting a
          quorum is not present, then, in the case of a meeting convened on a
          requisition, the meeting shall be deemed cancelled and, in any other
          case, the meeting shall stand adjourned to the same day one week
          later, at the same time and place or to such other day, time or place
          as the Secretary may determine. If the meeting shall be adjourned to
          the same day one week later or the Secretary shall determine that the
          meeting is adjourned to a specific date, time and place, it is not
          necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by
          announcement at the meeting being adjourned. If the Secretary shall
          determine that the meeting be adjourned to an unspecified date, time
          or place, fresh notice of the resumption of the meeting shall be given
          to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance with
          the provisions of these Bye-laws.

28.  CHAIRMAN TO PRESIDE

     Unless otherwise agreed by a majority of those attending and entitled to
     vote thereat, the Chairman, if there be one, and if not the President,
     shall act as chairman at all meetings of the Members at which such person
     is present. In their absence, the Deputy Chairman or Vice President, if
     present, shall act as chairman and in the absence of all of them a chairman
     shall be appointed or elected by those present at the meeting and entitled
     to vote.

29.  VOTING ON RESOLUTIONS

     29.1 Subject to the provisions of the Act and these Bye-laws (including,
          without limitation, Bye-law 36.3), any question proposed for the
          consideration of the Members at any general meeting shall be decided
          by the affirmative votes of a majority of the votes cast in accordance
          with the provisions of these Bye-laws and in the case of an equality
          of votes the resolution shall fail.

     29.2 No Member shall be entitled to vote at a general meeting unless such
          Member has paid all the calls on all shares held by such Member.

     29.3 At any general meeting a resolution put to the vote of the meeting
          shall be decided on a poll.

     29.4 At any general meeting if an amendment shall be proposed to any
          resolution under consideration and the chairman of the meeting shall
          rule on whether the proposed amendment is out of order, the
          proceedings on the substantive resolution shall not be invalidated by
          any error in such ruling.

     29.5 At any general meeting a declaration by the chairman of the meeting
          that a question proposed for consideration has been carried, or
          carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost, and an
          entry to that effect in a book containing the minutes of the
          proceedings of the Company shall, subject to the provisions of these
          Bye-laws, be conclusive evidence of that fact.

30.  VOTING ON A POLL

     30.1 Where a poll is taken, subject to any rights or restrictions for the
          time being lawfully attached to any class of shares, every person
          present at such meeting shall have one vote for each share of which
          such person is the holder or for which such person holds a proxy and
          such vote shall be counted by ballot as described herein, or in the
          case of a general meeting at which one or more

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


          Members are present by telephone, in such manner as the chairman of
          the meeting may direct and the result of such poll shall be deemed to
          be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was taken. A person
          entitled to more than one vote need not use all his votes or cast all
          the votes he uses in the same way.

     30.2 A poll taken for the purpose of electing a chairman of the meeting or
          on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith and a poll taken
          on any other question shall be taken in such manner and at such time
          and place at such meeting as the chairman (or acting chairman) of the
          meeting may direct and any business other than that upon which a poll
          is to be taken may be proceeded with pending the taking of the poll.

     30.3 Where a vote is taken by poll, each person present and entitled to
          vote shall be furnished with a ballot paper on which such person shall
          record his vote in such manner as shall be determined at the meeting
          having regard to the nature of the question on which the vote is
          taken, and each ballot paper shall be signed or initialed or otherwise
          marked so as to identify the voter and the registered holder in the
          case of a proxy. At the conclusion of the poll, the ballot papers
          shall be examined and counted by one or more inspectors of votes
          appointed by the chairman or the Board for the purpose and the result
          of the poll shall be declared by the chairman.

31.  VOTING BY JOINT HOLDERS OF SHARES

     In the case of joint holders, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote
     (whether in person or by proxy) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the
     votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be
     determined by the order in which the names stand in the Register of
     Members.

32.  INSTRUMENT OF PROXY

     32.1 A Member may appoint a proxy by (a) an instrument appointing a proxy
          in writing in substantially the following form or such other form as
          the Board may determine from time to time:

     [address] to be my/our proxy to vote for me/us at the meeting of the
     Members to be held on the [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ] and at any adjournment
     thereof. (Any restrictions on voting to be inserted here.)

          Signed this [ ] day of [ ], 200[ ]


          ---------------------------
          Member(s)

          or (b) such telephonic, electronic or other means as may be approved
          by the Board from time to time.

     32.2 The appointment of a proxy must be received by the Company at the
          registered office or at such other place or in such manner as is
          specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any instrument of
          proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting at which the
          person named in the appointment proposes to vote, and an appointment
          of proxy which is not received in the manner so permitted shall be
          invalid.

     32.3 A Member who is the holder of two or more shares may appoint more than
          one proxy to represent him and vote on his behalf.

     32.4 The decision of the chairman of any general meeting as to the validity
          of any appointment of a proxy shall be final.

33.  REPRESENTATION OF CORPORATE MEMBER

     33.1 A corporation which is a Member may, by written instrument, authorise
          such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative
          at any meeting of the Members and any person so authorised shall be
          entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation
          which such person represents as that corporation could exercise if it
          were an individual Member, and that Member shall be deemed to be

     33.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the chairman of the meeting may accept
          such assurances as he thinks fit as to the right of any person to
          attend and vote at general meetings on behalf of a corporation which
          is a Member.

34.  ADJOURNMENT OF GENERAL MEETING

     34.1 The chairman of any general meeting at which a quorum is present may
          with the consent of Members holding a majority of the voting rights of
          those Members present in person or by proxy (and shall if so directed
          by Members holding a majority of the voting rights of those Members
          present in person or by proxy), adjourn the meeting.

     34.2 In addition, the chairman may adjourn the meeting to another time and
          place without such consent or direction if it appears to him that:

          (a)  it is likely to be impracticable to hold or continue that meeting
               because of the number of Members wishing to attend who are not
               present; or

          (b)  the unruly conduct of persons attending the meeting prevents, or
               is likely to prevent, the orderly continuation of the business of
               the meeting; or

          (c)  an adjournment is otherwise necessary so that the business of the
               meeting may be properly conducted.

     34.3 Unless the meeting is adjourned to a specific date, place and time
          announced at the meeting being adjourned, fresh notice of the date,
          place and time for the resumption of the adjourned meeting shall be
          given to each Member entitled to attend and vote thereat in accordance
          with the provisions of these Bye-laws.

                             DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

36.  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

     36.1 The Board shall consist of such number of Directors being not less
          than 3 Directors and not more than such maximum number of Directors,
          not exceeding 8 Directors, as the Board may from time to time
          determine.

     36.2 Only persons who are proposed or nominated in accordance with this
          Bye-law shall be eligible for election as Directors. Any Member or the
          Board may propose any person for election as a Director. Where any
          person, other than a Director retiring at the meeting or a person
          proposed for re-election or election as a Director by the Board, is to
          be proposed for election as a Director, notice must be given to the
          Company of the intention to propose him and of his willingness to
          serve as a Director. Where a Director is to be elected at an annual
          general meeting, that notice must be given not less than 90 days nor
          more than 120 days before the anniversary of the last annual general
          meeting prior to the giving of the notice or, in the event the annual
          general meeting is called for a date that is not 25 days before or
          after such anniversary the notice must be given not later than 10 days
          following the date on which notice of the annual general meeting was
          mailed or the date on which public disclosure of the date of the
          annual general meeting was made, whichever first occurs. Where a
          Director is to be elected at a special general meeting, that notice
          must be given not later than 10 days following the date on which
          notice of the special general meeting was mailed or the date on which
          public disclosure of the date of the special general meeting was made,
          whichever first occurs.

     36.3 Where persons are validly proposed for re-election or election as
          Directors, the persons receiving the most votes (up to the number of
          Directors to be elected) shall be elected as Directors, and an
          absolute majority of the votes cast shall not be a prerequisite to the
          election of such Directors.

     36.4 At any general meeting the Members may authorise the Board to fill any
          vacancy in their number left unfilled at a general meeting.

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


37.  CLASSES OF DIRECTORS

     The Directors shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class
     II and Class III. Each class of Directors shall consist, as nearly as
     possible, of one third of the total number of Directors constituting the
     entire Board.

38.  TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS

     At the first meeting of the Board following the date of adoption of these
     Bye-laws, the Class I Directors shall be appointed to serve for a one year
     term of office, the Class II Directors shall be appointed to serve for a
     two year term of office and the Class III Directors shall be appointed to
     serve for a three year term of office, as determined by the Board. At each
     succeeding annual general meeting, successors to the class of Directors
     whose term expires at that annual general meeting shall be elected for a
     three year term. If the number of Directors is changed, any increase or
     decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the
     number of Directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
     Director of any class elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office for a
     term that shall coincide with the remaining term of the other Directors of
     that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of Directors
     shorten the term of any Director then in office. A Director shall hold
     office until the annual general meeting for the year in which his term
     expires, subject to his office being vacated pursuant to Bye-law 41.

39.  ALTERNATE DIRECTORS

     39.1 Any Director may appoint a person or persons to act as a Director in
          the alternative to himself by notice in writing deposited with the
          Secretary. Any person so elected or appointed shall have all the
          rights and powers of the Director or Directors for whom such person is
          appointed in the alternative provided that such person shall not be
          counted more than once in determining whether or not a quorum is
          present.

     39.2 An Alternate Director shall be entitled to receive notice of all
          meetings of the Board and to attend and vote at any such meeting at
          which a Director for whom such Alternate Director was appointed in the
          alternative is not personally present and generally to perform at such
          meeting all the functions of such Director for whom such Alternate
          Director was appointed.

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


     39.3 An Alternate Director shall cease to be such if the Director for whom
          such Alternate Director was appointed ceases for any reason to be a
          Director but may be re-appointed by the Board as an alternate to the
          person appointed to fill the vacancy in accordance with these
          Bye-laws.

40.  REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

     40.1 Subject to any provision to the contrary in these Bye-laws, the
          Members entitled to vote for the election of Directors may, by a
          resolution including the affirmative votes of at least 80% of all
          votes attaching to all shares in issue entitling the holder to attend
          and vote on such resolution, at any special general meeting convened
          and held in accordance with these Bye-laws, remove a Director, with or
          without cause, provided that the notice of any such meeting convened
          for the purpose of removing a Director shall contain a statement of
          the intention so to do and be served on such Director not less than 14
          days before the meeting and at such meeting the Director shall be
          entitled to be heard on the motion for such Director's removal.

     40.2 If a Director is removed from the Board under the provisions of this
          Bye-law the Members may fill the vacancy at the meeting at which such
          Director is removed. In the absence of such election or appointment,
          the Board may fill the vacancy.

41.  VACANCY IN THE OFFICE OF DIRECTOR

     41.1 The office of Director shall be vacated if the Director:

          (a)  is removed from office pursuant to these Bye-laws or is
               prohibited from being a Director by law;

          (b)  is or becomes bankrupt, or makes any arrangement or composition
               with his creditors generally;

          (c)  is or becomes of unsound mind or dies; or

          (d)  resigns his office by notice in writing to the Company.

     41.2 The Members in general meeting or the Board shall have the power to
          appoint any person as a Director to fill a vacancy on the Board
          occurring as a result of the death, disability,

          disqualification or resignation of any Director or as a result of an
          increase in the size of the Board and to appoint an Alternate Director
          to any Director so appointed.

42.  REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS

     The remuneration (if any) of the Directors shall be determined by the Board
     and shall be deemed to accrue from day to day. The Directors may also be
     paid all travel, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in
     attending and returning from the meetings of the Board, any committee
     appointed by the Board, general meetings of the Company, or in connection
     with the business of the Company or their duties as Directors generally.

43.  DEFECT IN APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTOR

     All acts done in good faith by the Board or by a committee 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 such person had been duly appointed
     and was qualified to be a Director.

44.  DIRECTORS TO MANAGE BUSINESS

     44.1 The business of the Company shall be managed and conducted by the
          Board. In managing the business of the Company, the Board may exercise
          all such powers of the Company as are not, by statute or by these
          Bye-laws, required to be exercised by the Company in general meeting
          subject, nevertheless, to these Bye-laws and the provisions of any
          statute.

     44.2 Subject to these Bye-laws, the Board may delegate to any company,
          firm, person, or body of persons any power of the Board (including the
          power to sub-delegate).

          (a)  appoint, suspend, or remove any manager, secretary, clerk, agent
               or employee of the Company and may fix their remuneration and

               stock and other securities whether outright or as security for

               with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding
               those vested in or exercisable by the Board) and for such period
               and subject to such conditions as it may think fit and any such
               power of attorney may contain such provisions for the protection
               and convenience of persons dealing with any such attorney as the
               Board may think fit and may also authorise any such attorney to
               sub-delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and
               discretions so vested in the attorney. Such attorney may, if so
               authorised under the seal of the Company, execute any deed or

               effect as the affixation of the seal of the Company;

               shall conform to such directions as the Board shall impose on
               them and provided further that the meetings and proceedings of
               any such committee shall be governed by the provisions of these
               Bye-laws regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Board, so
               far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by
               directions imposed by the Board;

          receipts for the sake of conformity, or for any bankers or other
          persons with whom any moneys or effects belonging to the Company shall
          or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency
          or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to
          the Company shall be placed out on or invested, or for any other loss,
          misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their
          respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto, PROVIDED THAT
          this indemnity shall not extend to any matter in respect of any fraud
          or dishonesty which may attach to any of the said persons. Each Member
          agrees to waive any claim or right of action such Member might have,
          whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any
          Director or Officer on account of any action taken by such Director or
          Officer, or the failure of such Director or Officer to take any action
          in the performance of his duties with or for the Company or any
          subsidiary thereof, PROVIDED THAT such waiver shall not extend to any
          matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may attach to such
          Director or Officer.

          criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
          in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding
          upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay
          such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is
          not entitled to be indemnified by the Company, and such expenses
          (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may
          be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company
          deems appropriate, provided that in the event of a finding of fraud or
          dishonesty (such fraud or dishonesty having been established in a
          final judgment or decree not subject to appeal), such Director,
          Secretary or other Officer or, if applicable, such other employee or
          agent, shall reimburse to the Company all funds paid by the Company in
          respect of expenses of defending such action, suit or proceeding.

     52.3 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
          granted pursuant to, this Bye-law shall not be deemed exclusive of any
          other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of
          expenses may be entitled under these Bye-laws, any agreement,
          resolution of Members or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as
          to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in
          another capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the

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


          Company that indemnification of the persons specified in Bye-law 52.1
          shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions
          of this Bye-law shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of
          any person who is not specified in Bye-law 52.1 but whom the Company
          has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the
          Act, or otherwise.

     52.4 The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
          granted pursuant to, this Bye-law shall, unless otherwise provided
          when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to
          be a Director or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
          executors and administrators of such a person.

     52.5 The Company may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the
          Board, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of
          expenses to employees and agents of the Company similar to those
          conferred in this Bye-law to Directors, the Secretary and other
          Officers of the Company, PROVIDED THAT any such indemnity shall not
          extend to any matter in respect of any fraud or dishonesty which may
          attach to any such persons, and any funds paid by the Company in
          respect of any such expense shall be reimbursed to the Company in the
