4. The Class A Shares, Class A-1 Shares, the Class B Shares, the Class C Shares, the Junior Preferred Shares and the Senior Preferred Shares shall, subject to the other provisions of these Bye-Laws, entitle the holders thereof to the rights as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

5. The Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, authorise the purchase by the Company of its own shares, of any class, at any price (whether at par or above or below par), and any shares to be so purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, upon such terms as the Board may in its discretion determine, provided always that such purchase is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act. The whole or any part of the amount payable on any such purchase may be paid or satisfied otherwise than in cash, to the extent permitted by the Companies Act.

6. The Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, authorise the acquisition by the Company of its own shares, of any class, at any price (whether at par or above or below par), and any shares to be so purchased may be selected in any manner whatsoever, and may be cancelled or may be held as treasury shares, upon such terms as the Board may in its discretion determine, provided always that such acquisition is effected in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act.

– 5 –

SHARES

9. Subject to the provisions of these Bye-Laws, the unissued shares of the Company (whether forming part of the original capital or any increased capital) shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may offer, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times and for such consideration and upon such terms and conditions as the Board may determine.

10. Subject to the provisions of these Bye-Laws, any shares of the Company held by the Company as treasury shares shall be at the disposal of the Board, which may hold all or any of the shares, dispose of or transfer all or any of the shares for cash or other consideration, or cancel all or any of the shares.

11. The Board may in connection with the issue of any shares exercise all powers of paying commission and brokerage conferred or permitted by law. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, any such commission or brokerage may be satisfied by the payment of cash or by the allotment of fully or partly paid shares or partly in one way and partly in the other.

12. Except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, no person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any share upon trust and the Company shall not be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice thereof) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or in any fractional part of a share or (except only as otherwise provided in these Bye-Laws or by law) any other right in respect of any share except an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bye-Laws, for as long as the Class A Shares are listed on The Toronto Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange:

(a) the Board may only issue shares as non-assessable and after the consideration for each share is fully paid in money or in property or past services that are not less in value than the fair equivalent of the money that the Company would have received if the share(s) had been issued for money; and

(b) Directors who vote for or consent to a resolution authorizing the issue of any share(s) pursuant to these Bye-Laws for consideration other than money are jointly and severally liable to the Company to make good any amount by which the consideration received is less than the fair equivalent of the money that the Company would have received if the share(s) had been issued for money on the date of the resolution.

CERTIFICATES

14. No share certificates shall be issued by the Company unless, in respect of a class of shares, the Board has either for all or for some holders of such shares (who may be determined in such manner as the Board thinks fit) determined that the holder of such shares may be entitled to share certificates. In the case of a share held jointly by several persons, delivery of a certificate to one of several joint holders shall be sufficient delivery to all.

– 6 –

15. If a share certificate is defaced, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced without fee but on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and to payment of the costs and out of pocket expenses of the Company in investigating such evidence and preparing such indemnity as the Board may think fit and, in case of defacement, on delivery of the old certificate to the Company.

16. All certificates for share or loan capital or other securities of the Company (other than letters of allotment, scrip certificates and other like documents) shall, except to the extent that the terms and conditions for the time being relating thereto otherwise provide, be in such form as the Board may determine and issued under the Seal or signed by a Director, the Secretary or any person authorised by the Board for that purpose. The Board may by resolution determine, either generally or in any particular case, that any signatures on any such certificates need not be autographic but may be affixed to such certificates by some mechanical means or may be printed thereon or that such certificates need not be signed by any persons, or may determine that a representation of the Seal may be printed on any such certificates. If any person holding an office in the Company who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been used on, any certificate ceases for any reason to hold his office, such certificate may nevertheless be issued as though that person had not ceased to hold such office.

17. Nothing in these Bye-Laws shall prevent title to any securities of the Company from being evidenced and/or transferred without a written instrument in accordance with the Companies Act or the regulations made from time to time in this regard thereunder, and the Board shall have power to implement any arrangements which it may think fit for such evidencing and/or transfer which accord with the Companies Act or the regulations thereunder.

REGISTER OF SHAREHOLDERS

18. The Register shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place in Bermuda as the Board may from time to time direct, in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, the Company may keep one or more overseas or branch registers in any place, and the Board may make, amend and revoke any such regulations as it may think fit respecting the keeping of such registers. The Board may authorise any share on the Register to be included in a branch register or any share registered on a branch register to be registered on another branch register, provided that at all times the Register is maintained in accordance with the Companies Act.

19. The Register or any branch register may be closed at such times and for such period as the Board may from time to time decide, subject to the Companies Act. Except during such time as it is closed, the Register and each branch register shall be open to inspection in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon (or between such other times as the Board from time to time determines) on every working day. Unless the Board so determines, no Shareholder or intending Shareholder shall be entitled to have

– 7 –

entered in the Register or any branch register any indication of any trust or any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any share or any fractional part of a share and if any such entry exists or is permitted by the Board it shall not be deemed to abrogate any of the provisions of Bye-Law 12.

REGISTER OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

20. The Secretary shall establish and maintain a register of the Directors and Officers of the Company as required by the Companies Act. The register of Directors and Officers shall be open to inspection in the manner prescribed by the Companies Act between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon (or between such other times as the Board from time to time determines) in Bermuda on every working day.

TRANSFER OF SHARES

21. Subject to the Companies Act and to such of the exceptions and restrictions contained in these Bye-Laws as may be applicable, any Shareholder may transfer all or any of his shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual common form or in any other form which the Board may approve.

22. The instrument of transfer of a share shall be signed by or on behalf of the transferor and where any share is not fully-paid, the transferee. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register in respect thereof. All instruments of transfer when registered may be retained by the Company. The Board may, in its absolute discretion and without assigning any reason therefor, decline to register any transfer of any share which is not a fully-paid share. The Board may also decline to register any transfer unless:

(a) the instrument of transfer is duly stamped (if required by law) and lodged with the Company, at such place as the Board shall appoint for the purpose, accompanied by the certificate for the shares (if any has been issued) to which it relates, and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer,

(b) the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of share,

(c) the instrument of transfer is in favour of less than five (5) persons jointly; and

(d) it is satisfied that all applicable consents, authorisations, permissions or approvals of any governmental body or agency in Bermuda or any other applicable jurisdiction required to be obtained under relevant law prior to such transfer have been obtained.

23. Subject to any directions of the Board from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise the powers and discretions of the Board under Bye-Laws 21 and 22.

24. If the Board declines to register a transfer it shall, within three (3) months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to the transferee notice of such refusal.

– 8 –

25. A reasonable fee determined by the Board may be charged by the Company for registering any transfer, probate, letters of administration, certificate of death or marriage, power of attorney, order of court or other instrument relating to or affecting the title to any share, or otherwise making an entry in the Register relating to any share, (except that the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed on it in connection with such transfer or entry).

26. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Bye-Laws, shares that are listed or admitted to trading on an appointed stock exchange may be transferred in accordance with the rules and requirements of such exchange.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

27. In the case of the death of a Shareholder, the survivor or survivors, where the deceased was a joint holder, and the estate representative, where he was sole holder, shall be the only person recognised by the Company as having any title to his shares; but nothing herein contained shall release the estate of a deceased holder (whether the sole or joint) from any liability in respect of any share held by him solely or jointly with other persons. For the purpose of this Bye-Law 27, estate representative means the person to whom probate or letters of administration has or have been granted in Bermuda or, failing any such person, such other person as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine to be the person recognised by the Company for the purpose of this Bye-Law 27.

28. Any person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder or otherwise by operation of applicable law may, subject as hereafter provided and upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board as to his entitlement, either be registered himself as the holder of the share or elect to have some person nominated by him registered as the transferee thereof. If the person so becoming entitled elects to be registered himself, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects. If he shall elect to have his nominee registered, he shall signify his election by signing an instrument of transfer of such share in favour of his nominee. All the limitations, restrictions and provisions of these Bye-Laws relating to the right to transfer and the registration of transfer of shares shall be applicable to any such notice or instrument of transfer as aforesaid as if the death of the Shareholder or other event giving rise to the transmission had not occurred and the notice or instrument of transfer was an instrument of transfer signed by such Shareholder.

29. A person becoming entitled to a share in consequence of the death of a Shareholder or otherwise by operation of applicable law shall (upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Board as to his entitlement) be entitled to receive and may give a discharge for any dividends or other monies payable in respect of the share, but he shall not be entitled in respect of the share to receive notices of or to attend or vote at general meetings of the Company or, save as aforesaid, to exercise in respect of the share any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder until he shall have become registered as the holder thereof. The Board may at any time give notice requiring such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share and, if the notice is not complied with within sixty (60) days, the Board may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends and other monies payable in respect of the shares until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

– 9 –

30. Subject to any directions of the Board from time to time in force, the Secretary may exercise the powers and discretions of the Board under Bye-Laws 27, 28 and 29.

INCREASE OF CAPITAL

31. The Company may from time to time increase its capital by such sum to be divided into shares of such par value as the Board, with the sanction of a Resolution, shall prescribe.

32. The Board may, with the sanction of a Resolution increasing the capital, direct that the new shares or any of them shall be offered in the first instance either at par or at a premium or (subject to the provisions of the Companies Act) at a discount to all the holders for the time being of shares of any class or classes in proportion to the number of such shares held by them respectively or make any other provision as to the issue of the new shares.

33. The new shares shall be subject to all the provisions of these Bye-Laws.

ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

34. The Board may from time to time, and without the sanction of a Resolution:

(a) divide the Company’s shares into several classes and attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges or conditions;

(b) consolidate and divide all or any of the Company’s share capital into shares of larger par value than its existing shares;

(c) subdivide the Company’s shares or any of them into shares of smaller par value than is fixed by the Company’s memorandum, so, however, that in the subdivision the proportion between the amount paid and the amount, if any, unpaid on each reduced share shall be the same as it was in the case of the share from which the reduced share is derived; and

(d) make provision for the issue and allotment of shares which do not carry any voting rights.

35. The Board may from time to time with the sanction of a Resolution:

(a) cancel shares which, at the date of the passing of the Resolution in that behalf, have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person, and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the shares so cancelled; and

(b) change the currency denomination of its share capital.

36. Where any difficulty arises in regard to any division, consolidation, or subdivision under Bye-Law 34, the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient and, in particular, may

– 10 –

arrange for the sale of the shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale in due proportion amongst the Shareholders who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some person to transfer the shares representing fractions to the purchaser thereof, who shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

37. Subject to the Companies Act and to any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-Laws, the Company may by Resolution from time to time convert any preference shares into redeemable preference shares.

REDUCTION OF CAPITAL

38. Subject to the Companies Act, its memorandum and any confirmation or consent required by law or these Bye-Laws, the Board may from time to time with the sanction of a Resolution authorise the reduction of the Company’s issued share capital or any share premium account in any manner.

39. In relation to any such reduction, the Board may, with the sanction of a Resolution, determine the terms upon which such reduction is to be effected including (a) in the case of a reduction of part only of a class of shares, those shares to be affected, and (b) in the case of a reduction of capital that is not returned to the affected Shareholders, by crediting the contributed surplus account for the shares affected.

GENERAL MEETINGS AND RESOLUTIONS IN WRITING

40. The Board shall convene and the Company shall hold general meetings as annual general meetings in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act at such times and places as the Board shall appoint. The Board may, whenever it thinks fit, and shall, when requisitioned by Shareholders pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act, convene general meetings other than annual general meetings, which shall be called special general meetings, at such time and place as the Board may appoint. Any annual or special general meeting may be held, in whole or in part, by telephonic or electronic means, including, without limitation, through the use of one or more of webcasting, telephone conference and/or other electronic means and a Shareholder who, through those means, votes at the meeting or establishes a communications link to the meeting shall be deemed to be present at the meeting.

41. Except in the case of the removal of Auditors or Directors, anything which may be done by resolution in general meeting or by resolution of any class of Shareholders in a separate general meeting may be done by resolution in writing, signed by the Shareholders (or the holders of such class of shares) who at the date of the notice of the resolution in writing represent the votes that would be required if the resolution had been voted on at a meeting of the Shareholders. Such resolution in writing may be signed by the Shareholder or its proxy, or in the case of a Shareholder that is a corporation (whether or not a company within the meaning of the Companies Act) by its representative on behalf of such Shareholder, in as many counterparts as may be necessary.

– 11 –

42. Notice of any resolution in writing to be made under Bye-Law 41 shall be given to all the Shareholders who would be entitled to attend a meeting and vote on the resolution. The requirement to give notice of any resolution in writing to be made under Bye-Law 41 to such Shareholders shall be satisfied by giving to those Shareholders a copy of that resolution in writing in the same manner that is required for a notice of a general meeting of the Company at which the resolution could have been considered, except that the length of the period of notice shall not apply. The date of the notice shall be set out in the copy of the resolution in writing.

43. The accidental omission to give notice, in accordance with Bye-Law 42, of a resolution in writing to, or the non-receipt of such notice by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the passing of the resolution in writing.

44. For the purposes of Bye-Law 41, the date of the resolution in writing is the date when the resolution in writing is signed by, or on behalf of, the Shareholder who establishes the votes required for the passing of the resolution in writing and any reference in any enactment to the date of passing of a resolution is, in relation to a resolution in writing made in accordance with Bye-Law 41, a reference to such date.

45. A resolution in writing made in accordance with Bye-Law 41 is as valid as if it had been passed by the Company in general meeting or, if applicable, by a meeting of the relevant class of Shareholders of the Company, as the case may be. A resolution in writing made in accordance with Bye-Law 41 shall constitute minutes for the purposes of the Companies Act and these Bye-Laws.

46. All the provisions of these Bye-Laws as to general meetings of the Company shall mutatis mutandis apply to any separate general meeting of the holders of shares of any class.

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

47. An annual or special general meeting shall be called by not less than 21 clear days’ notice in writing, or, in each case, such other notice period as may be permitted by the Companies Act. The notice shall specify the day, time and location of the meeting (which may be held, in whole or in part, by telephonic or electronic means), and the nature of the business to be considered. Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner permitted by these Bye-Laws to all Shareholders other than such as, under the provisions of these Bye-Laws or the terms of issue of the shares they hold, are not entitled to receive such notice from the Company and to each Director, and to any Resident Representative who or which has delivered a written notice upon the Registered Office requiring that such notice be sent to him or it.

48. The accidental omission to give notice of a meeting or (in cases where instruments of proxy are sent out with the notice) the accidental omission to send such instrument of proxy to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting or such instrument of proxy by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

49. A Shareholder present in person and each person holding a valid proxy at any meeting of the Company or of the holders of any class of shares in the Company shall be deemed to have received notice of the meeting and, where requisite, of the purposes for which it was called.

– 12 –

50. The Board may cancel or postpone a meeting of the Shareholders after it has been convened and notice of such cancellation or postponement shall be served in accordance with these Bye-Laws upon all Shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting so cancelled or postponed setting out, where the meeting is postponed to a specific date, notice of the new meeting in accordance with Bye-Law 47.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

51. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present at the time that the meeting proceeds to business, but the absence of a quorum shall not preclude the appointment, choice or election of a chairman, which shall not be treated as part of the business of the meeting. Save as herein otherwise provided, a quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of Shareholders shall be two (2) persons present and each entitled to vote at the meeting.

52. If within five (5) minutes (or such longer time as the chairman of the meeting may determine to wait) after the time appointed for the meeting, a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Shareholders, shall be dissolved. In any other case, it shall stand adjourned to such other day and such other time and place as the chairman of the meeting may determine and at such adjourned meeting Shareholders present in person and any persons holding a valid proxy who are entitled to vote at such meeting shall be a quorum.

53. A meeting of the Shareholders or any class thereof may be held by means of such telephonic, electronic or other communication facilities (including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by telephone, webcasting or video conferencing) as permit all person participating in the meeting to communicate which each other as is required to facilitate the proper conduct of the meeting. If it appears to the chairman of a general meeting that the Specified Place is inadequate to accommodate all persons entitled and wishing to attend, the meeting is duly constituted and its proceedings are valid if the chairman is satisfied that adequate facilities are available, whether at the Specified Place or elsewhere, to ensure that each such person who is unable to be accommodated at the Specified Place is able to communicate with the persons present at the Specified Place, whether through the use of one or more of webcasting, telephone conference and/or other electronic means.

54. Subject to the Companies Act, a resolution may only be put to a vote at a general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholders if:

(a) it is proposed by or at the direction of the Board; or

(b) it is proposed at the direction of the Court; or

– 13 –

(c) it is proposed on the requisition in writing of such number of Shareholders as is prescribed by, and is made in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Companies Act; or

(d) the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the resolution may properly be regarded as within the scope of the meeting.

55. No amendment may be made to a resolution, at or before the time when it is put to a vote, unless the chairman of the meeting in his absolute discretion decides that the amendment or the amended resolution may properly be put to a vote at that meeting.

56. If the chairman of the meeting rules a resolution or an amendment to a resolution admissible or out of order (as the case may be), the proceedings of the meeting or on the resolution in question shall not be invalidated by any error in his ruling. Any ruling by the chairman of the meeting in relation to a resolution or an amendment to a resolution shall be final and conclusive.

57. The Resident Representative, if any, upon giving the notice referred to in Bye-Law 47 above, shall be entitled to attend any general meeting of the Company and each Director shall be entitled to attend and speak at any general meeting of the Company.

58. The chairman (if any) of the Board shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company. If there is no such chairman, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is unwilling to act as chairman, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to act or if only one Director is present he shall preside as chairman if willing to act.

59. The chairman may, with the consent by resolution of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time (or without assigning a day for such adjourned meeting) and from place to place but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting except business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. In addition to any other power of adjournment conferred by law, the chairman of the meeting may at any time without consent of the meeting adjourn the meeting (whether or not it has commenced or a quorum is present) to another time and/or place (or without assigning a day for such adjourned meeting) if, in his opinion, it would facilitate the conduct of the business of the meeting to do so or if he is so directed (prior to or at the meeting) by the Board. When a meeting is adjourned without a date being assigned for such adjourned meeting, the time and place for the adjourned meeting shall be fixed by the Board. When a meeting is adjourned for three (3) months or more or for an indefinite period, notice shall be given as for an original meeting. Save as expressly provided by these Bye-Laws, it shall not be necessary to give any notice of an adjournment or of the business to be transacted at an adjourned meeting.

VOTING

60. Except for any matter that only requires the approval of the holders of the Class C Shares as set out in Schedule “A” to these Bye-Laws and except for voting in respect of the

– 14 –

election of Directors, all resolutions of shareholders must be passed or adopted by: (i) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares who vote in respect of the resolution; and (ii) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of the Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution. For greater certainty, at any time that there are no Class A Shares outstanding, no approval of the holders of Class A Shares will be required for any resolution and at any time that there are no Class B Shares outstanding, no approval of the holders of Class B Shares will be required for any resolution.

61. Subject to Bye-Law 147 and to any rights or restrictions attached to any class of shares, at any meeting of the Company, each Shareholder present in person and each person holding a valid proxy at such meeting shall be entitled to vote on any question to be decided on a show of hands and each Shareholder present in person and each person holding a valid proxy at such meeting shall be entitled on a poll, subject to the restrictions as set forth on Schedule A hereto, to vote for each share held by him.

62. At any general meeting, a resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands or by a count of votes received in the form of Electronic Records, unless (before or on the declaration of the result of the show of hands or count of votes received as Electronic Records or on the withdrawal of any other demand for a poll) a poll is demanded by:

(a) the chairman of the meeting; or

(b) at least three (3) Shareholders present in person or at least three (3) persons holding a valid proxy; or

(c) any Shareholder(s) present in person or person(s) holding a valid proxy and holding between them not less than one tenth (1/10) of the total voting rights of all the Shareholders having the right to vote at such meeting; or

(d) any Shareholder(s) present in person or person(s) holding a valid proxy and holding shares conferring the right to vote at such meeting, being shares on which an aggregate sum has been paid up equal to not less than one tenth (1/10) of the total sum paid up on all such shares conferring such right.

The demand for a poll may, before the poll is taken, be withdrawn but only with the consent of the chairman and a demand so withdrawn shall not be taken to have invalidated the result of a show of hands or count of votes received as Electronic Records declared before the demand was made. If the demand for a poll is withdrawn, the chairman or any other Shareholder entitled may demand a poll.

63. Unless a poll is so demanded and the demand is not withdrawn, a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has, on a show of hands or count of votes received as Electronic Records, been carried or carried unanimously or by a particular majority or not carried by a particular majority or lost shall be final and conclusive, and an entry to that effect in the minute book of the Company shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of votes recorded for or against such resolution.

– 15 –

64. If a poll is duly demanded, the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll is demanded.

65. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman, or on a question of adjournment, shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken in such manner and either forthwith or at such time (being not later than three (3) months after the date of the demand) and place as the chairman shall direct and he may appoint scrutineers (who need not be Shareholders) and fix a time and place for declaring the result of the poll. It shall not be necessary (unless the chairman otherwise directs) for notice to be given of a poll.

66. The demand for a poll shall not prevent the continuance of a meeting for the transaction of any business other than the question on which the poll has been demanded and it may be withdrawn at any time before the close of the meeting or the taking of the poll, whichever is the earlier.

67. On a poll, votes may be cast either personally or by proxy.

68. A person entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way.

69. In the case of an equality of votes at a general meeting, whether on a show of hands or count of votes received as Electronic Records or on a poll, the chairman of such meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote and the resolution shall fail.

70. In the case of joint holders of a share, 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 in respect of the joint holding.

71. A Shareholder who is a patient for any purpose of any statute or applicable law relating to mental health or in respect of whom an order has been made by any Court having jurisdiction for the protection or management of the affairs of persons incapable of managing their own affairs may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person in the nature of a receiver, committee or curator bonis appointed by such Court and such receiver, committee, curator bonis or other person may vote on a poll by proxy, and may otherwise act and be treated as such Shareholder for the purpose of general meetings.

72. No Shareholder shall, unless the Board otherwise determines, be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless all calls or other sums presently payable by him in respect of shares in the Company have been paid.

73. If:

(a) any objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter; or,

– 16 –

(b) any votes have been counted which ought not to have been counted or which might have been rejected; or,

(c) any votes are not counted which ought to have been counted,

the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the meeting or adjourned meeting on any resolution unless the same is raised or pointed out at the meeting or, as the case may be, the adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairman of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chairman decides that the same may have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairman on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

PROXIES AND CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES

74. A Shareholder may appoint one or more persons as his proxy, with or without the power of substitution, to represent him and vote on his behalf in respect of all or some only of his shares at any general meeting (including an adjourned meeting). A proxy need not be a Shareholder. The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing executed by the appointor or his attorney authorised by him in writing or, if the appointor is a corporation, either under its Seal or executed by an officer, attorney or other person authorised to sign the same.

75. A Shareholder which is a corporation may, by written authorisation, appoint any person (or two (2) or more persons in the alternative) as its representative to represent it and vote on its behalf at any general meeting (including an adjourned meeting) and such a corporate representative may exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Shareholder and the Shareholder shall for the purposes of these Bye-Laws be deemed to be present in person at any such meeting if a person so authorised is present at it.

76. Any Shareholder may appoint a proxy or (if a corporation) representative for a specific general meeting, and adjournments thereof, or may appoint a standing proxy or (if a corporation) representative, by serving on the Company at the Registered Office, or at such place or places as the Board may otherwise specify for the purpose, a proxy or (if a corporation) an authorisation. Any standing proxy or authorisation shall be valid for all general meetings and adjournments thereof or resolutions in writing, as the case may be, until notice of revocation is received at the Registered Office or at such place or places as the Board may otherwise specify for the purpose. Where a standing proxy or authorisation exists, its operation shall be deemed to have been suspended at any general meeting or adjournment thereof at which the Shareholder is present or in respect to which the Shareholder has specially appointed a proxy or representative. The Board may from time to time require such evidence as it shall deem necessary as to the due execution and continuing validity of any standing proxy or authorisation and the operation of any such standing proxy or authorisation shall be deemed to be suspended until such time as the Board determines that it has received the requested evidence or other evidence satisfactory to it.

– 17 –

77. Notwithstanding Bye-Law 61, a Shareholder may appoint a proxy which may be irrevocable in accordance with its terms and the holder thereof shall be the only person entitled to vote the relevant shares at any meeting of the Shareholders at which such holder is present. Notice of the appointment of any such proxy shall be given to the Company at its Registered Office, and shall include the name, address, telephone number and electronic mail address of the proxy holder. The Company shall give to the proxy holder notice of all meetings of Shareholders of the Company and shall be obliged to recognise the holder of such proxy until such time as the holder notifies the Company in writing that the proxy is no longer in force.

78. Subject to Bye-Laws 76 and 77, the instrument appointing a proxy or corporate representative together with such other evidence as to its due execution as the Board may from time to time require, shall be delivered at the Registered Office (or at such place or places as may be specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any notice of any adjournment or, in either case or the case of a resolution in writing, in any document sent therewith) not less than 48 hours or such other period as the Board may determine, prior to the holding of the relevant meeting or adjourned meeting at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote or, in the case of a poll taken subsequently to the date of a meeting or adjourned meeting, before the time appointed for the taking of the poll, or, in the case of a resolution in writing, prior to the effective date of the resolution in writing and in default the instrument of proxy or authorisation shall not be treated as valid.

79. Subject to Bye-Laws 61 and 62, the 64 decision of the chairman of any general meeting as to the validity of any appointments of a proxy shall be final.

80. Instruments of proxy or authorisation shall be in any common form or in such other form as the Board may approve and the Board may, if it thinks fit, send out with the notice of any meeting or any resolution in writing forms of instruments of proxy or authorisation for use at that meeting or in connection with that resolution in writing. The instrument of proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join in demanding a poll, to speak at the meeting and to vote by way of a poll or a show of hands on any resolution put to the meeting for which it is given as the proxyholder thinks fit, including where the person holding the proxy has conflicting instructions from more than one Shareholder. The instrument of proxy or authorisation shall, unless the contrary is stated therein, be valid as well for any adjournment of the meeting as for the meeting to which it relates. If the terms of the appointment of a proxy include a power of substitution, any proxy appointed by substitution under such power shall be deemed to be the proxy of the Shareholder who conferred such power. All the provisions of these Bye-Laws relating to the execution and delivery of an instrument or other form of communication appointing or evidencing the appointment of a proxy shall apply, mutates mutandis, to the instrument or other form of communication effecting or evidencing such an appointment by substitution.

81. A vote given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy or authorisation shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or unsoundness of mind of the principal, or revocation of the instrument of proxy or of the corporate authority, provided that no intimation in writing of such death, unsoundness of mind or revocation shall have been received by the Company at the Registered Office (or such other place as may be specified

– 18 –

for the delivery of instruments of proxy or authorisation in the notice convening the meeting or other documents sent therewith) at least one hour before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting, or the taking of the poll, or the day before the effective date of any resolution in writing at which the instrument of proxy or authorisation is used.

82. Subject to the Companies Act, the Board may at its discretion waive any of the provisions of these Bye-Laws related to proxies or authorisations and, in particular, may accept such verbal or other assurances as it thinks fit as to the right of any person to attend, speak and vote on behalf of any Shareholder at general meetings or to sign resolutions in writing.

APPOINTMENT AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

83. The Board shall consist of such number of directors being not less than four (4) directors and not more than sixteen (16) directors as the Board may by resolution from time to time determine, or such number in excess thereof as the Shareholders may determine, and provided that:

(a) at least two (2) directors shall be residents of Bermuda;

(b) no more than three (3) directors shall be resident in any one other country (aside from Bermuda);

(c) no more than two (2) directors elected by holders of Class A Shares shall be resident in any one other country (aside from Bermuda);

(d) no more than two (2) directors elected by holders of Class B Shares shall be resident in any one other country (aside from Bermuda); and

(e) no director or employee of Brookfield Corporation will be eligible to serve as a director elected by holders of Class A Shares;

and provided further, that the Board may, at its discretion and without the sanction of a Resolution, increase or decrease the residency requirements set out in paragraphs 83(a), 83(b), 83(c) and 83(d) of this Bye-Law 83.

84. For so long as the Class A Shares and Class B Shares are both outstanding, one-half of the Board will be designated as directors designated for election by the Class A Shareholders and one-half of the Board will be designated as directors designated for election by the Class B Shareholders. The holders of Class A Shares will be entitled to elect the directors designated for election by the Class A Shareholders and constituting one-half of the Board, and the holders of Class B Shares will be entitled to elect the directors designated for election by the Class B Shareholders and constituting one-half of the Board.

85. Each holder of shares of a class or series of shares of the Company entitled to vote in an election of directors has the right, subject to the restrictions as set forth on Schedule A hereto, to cast a number of votes equal to the number of votes attached to the shares held by the holder multiplied by the number of directors to be elected by the holder and the holders of shares of the classes or series of shares entitled to vote with the holder in the

– 19 –

election of directors. A holder may cast all such votes in favour of one candidate or distribute such votes among its candidates in any manner the holder sees fit. Where a holder has voted for more than one candidate without specifying the distribution of votes among such candidates, the holder shall be deemed to have divided the holder’s votes equally among the candidates for whom the holder voted.

86. Subject to Bye-Laws 87 and 88, upon resignation or termination of office of any Director, if a new Director shall be appointed to the Board he or she will be designated to fill the vacancy arising and shall, for the purposes of these Bye-Laws, constitute a member of the class of Directors represented by the person that he or she replaces.

87. If a Director elected by holders of the Class A Shares is removed from the Board, the holders of the Class A Shares may fill the vacancy at the meeting at which such Director is removed and if a Director elected by the holders of the Class B Shares is removed from the Board, the holders of Class B Shares 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.

88. Each Director shall (unless his or her office is vacated in accordance with these Bye-Laws) serve until the conclusion of the annual general meeting of the Company held in the calendar year following their appointment.

89. Any Director retiring at an annual general meeting will be eligible for re-appointment and will retain office until the close of the meeting at which he or she retires or (if earlier) until a resolution is passed at that meeting not to fill the vacancy or the resolution to re-appoint him or her is put to a vote at the meeting and is lost.

90. If the Company, at the meeting at which a Director retires, does not fill the vacancy, the retiring Director shall, if willing to act, be deemed to have been re-appointed unless at the meeting it is resolved not to fill the vacancy or unless a resolution for the re-appointment of the Director is put to the meeting and lost.

91. Any person who, at the close of business in Toronto, Ontario on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in Bye-Law 92 below, is entered in the Register as a holder of at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares or who can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Company, acting reasonably, that it beneficially owns at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares may propose any person to be designated for election as a Director by the holders of the Class A Shares at the first annual general meeting of the Company following the date hereof.

92. Where any person is proposed for election as a Director under Bye-Law 91, notice must be given not later than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the general meeting to the Company of the intention to propose him and of his willingness to serve as a Director (together with the information in respect of the person that would be required under applicable securities laws in respect of a dissident proxy circular and confirmation of the proposed nominee’s qualifications to serve as a Director under these Bye-laws, residency status, and status as independent or non-independent for audit committee purposes under applicable securities

– 20 –

laws). The chairman of the general meeting shall have the power to determine whether any proposed nomination was made in accordance with the notice provisions of this Bye-Law 92 and, if any proposed nomination is not in compliance with such provisions, must declare that such defective nomination shall not be considered at any meeting of the Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion waive any requirement of such notice provisions. For greater certainty, Bye-Laws 91 and 92 shall be applicable only in respect of the first annual general meeting of the Company following the date hereof and thereafter shall expire and have no force and effect.

93. Where persons are validly proposed for re-election or election as a Director, the persons receiving the most votes (up to the number of Directors to be elected) shall be elected as Directors provided that no person shall be elected who does not receive one or more affirmative votes, and an absolute majority of the votes cast shall not be a prerequisite to the election of such Directors.

94. No person shall be appointed a Director at any general meeting unless:

(a) he or she is recommended by the Board;

(b) in respect of the first annual general meeting of the Company following the date hereof, the provisions of Bye-Laws 91 and 92 are complied with; or

(c) in respect of any general meeting other than the first annual general meeting, if he or she is elected in accordance with applicable law.

95. Except as otherwise authorised by the Companies Act, the appointment of any person proposed as a Director shall be effected by a separate resolution.

96. All Directors, upon election or appointment, except upon re-election or re-appointment at an annual general meeting, must provide written acceptance of their appointment, in such form as the Board may think fit, by notice in writing to the Registered Office within thirty (30) days of their appointment.

97. Any Director may be removed as follows: (a) with respect to the Directors elected by holders of the Class A Shares, an affirmative vote of holders of Class A Shares holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares entitled to vote at a special general meeting convened and properly held or conferring the right to vote on a resolution to remove a Director; (b) with respect to the Directors elected by the holders of the Class B Shares, an affirmative vote of holders of Class B Shares holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares entitled to vote at a special general meeting convened and properly held or conferring the right to vote on a resolution to remove a Director; provided, that the notice of any such meeting convened for the purpose of removing a Director must contain a statement of the intention to remove the Director and be served on the Director not less than 14 days before the meeting, and that the Director shall be entitled to be heard at the meeting on the motion for his or her removal.

98. Any one or more vacancies in the Board not filled at any general meeting shall be deemed casual vacancies for the purposes of these Bye-Laws. Without prejudice to the power of

– 21 –

the Company by Resolution in pursuance of any of the provisions of these Bye-Laws to appoint any person to be a Director, the Board, so long as a quorum of Directors remains in office, shall have power at any time and from time to time, subject to Bye-Law 83, to appoint any person to be a Director so as to fill a casual vacancy. A Director so appointed shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting. If not reappointed at such annual general meeting, he or she shall vacate office at the conclusion thereof.

RESIGNATION AND DISQUALIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

99. The office of a Director shall ipso facto be vacated if the Director:

(a) resigns his or her office by notice in writing delivered to the Registered Office or tendered at a meeting of the Board;

(b) becomes of unsound mind or a patient for any purpose of any statute or applicable law relating to mental health and the Directors resolve that his or her office is vacated;

(c) becomes bankrupt under the laws of any country or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her creditors generally;

(d) is prohibited by law from being a Director or, in the case of a corporate Director, is otherwise unable to carry on or transact business;

(f) shall for more than six (6) consecutive months have been absent without permission of the Board from meetings of the Board held during that period and the Board resolves that his or her office be vacated.

100. The provisions of section 93 of the Companies Act shall not apply to the Company.

DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS

101. A Director may hold any other office or place of profit with the Company (except that of Auditor) in conjunction with his or her office of Director for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine, and may be paid such extra remuneration therefor (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine, and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-Law.

102. A Director may act by himself or herself or his or her firm in a professional capacity for the Company (other than as Auditor) and he or her or his or her firm shall be entitled to remuneration for professional services as if he were not a Director.

103. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, a Director may notwithstanding his or her office be a party to, or otherwise interested in, any transaction or arrangement with the

– 22 –

Company or in which the Company is otherwise interested; and be a director or other officer of, or employed by, or a party to any transaction or arrangement with, or otherwise interested in, any body corporate promoted by the Company or in which the Company is interested. The Board may also cause the voting power conferred by the shares in any other company held or owned by the Company to be exercised in such manner in all respects as it thinks fit, including the exercise thereof in favour of any resolution appointing the Directors or any of them to be directors or officers of such other company, or voting or providing for the payment of remuneration to the directors or officers of such other company.

104. So long as, where it is necessary, he or she declares the nature of his or her interest at the first opportunity at a meeting of the Board or by writing to the Directors as required by the Companies Act, a Director shall not by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he or she derives from any office or employment to which these Bye-Laws allow him or her to be appointed or from any transaction or arrangement in which these Bye-Laws allow him or her to be interested, and no such transaction or arrangement shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any interest or benefit.

105. Subject to the Companies Act and any further disclosure required thereby, a general notice to the Directors by a Director or Officer declaring that he or she is a director or officer of or has an interest in a person and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction or arrangement made with that person, shall be a sufficient declaration of interest in relation to any transaction or arrangement so made.

106. A Director who to his knowledge is in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in a contract or proposed contract, transaction or arrangement with the Company and has complied with the provisions of the Companies Act and these Bye-Laws with regard to disclosure of his interest shall be entitled to vote in respect of any contract, transaction or arrangement in which he is so interested and if he shall do so his vote shall be counted, and he shall be taken into account in ascertaining whether a quorum is present.

POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE BOARD

107. Subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and these Bye-Laws, the Board shall manage the business of the Company and may pay all expenses incurred in promoting and incorporating the Company and may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of these Bye-Laws and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Board which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. The powers given by this Bye-Law 107 shall not be limited by any special power given to the Board by these Bye-Laws and a meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be competent to exercise all the powers, authorities and discretions for the time being vested in or exercisable by the Board.

108. The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company except those powers that are required by the Companies Act or these Bye-Laws to be exercised by the Shareholders.

– 23 –

FEES, GRATUITIES AND PENSIONS

109. The ordinary remuneration of the Directors office for their services (excluding amounts payable under any other provision of these Bye-Laws) shall be determined by Board and each such Director shall be paid a fee (which shall be deemed to accrue from day-to-day) at such rate as may from time to time be determined by the Board. Each Director may be paid his reasonable travel, hotel and incidental expenses for attending and returning from meetings of the Board or committees constituted pursuant to these Bye-Laws or general meetings and shall be paid all expenses properly and reasonably incurred by him or her in the conduct of the Company’s business or in the discharge of his duties as a Director. Any Director who, by request, goes or resides abroad for any purposes of the Company or who performs services which in the opinion of the Board go beyond the ordinary duties of a Director may be paid such extra remuneration (whether by way of salary, commission, participation in profits or otherwise) as the Board may determine, and such extra remuneration shall be in addition to any remuneration provided for by or pursuant to any other Bye-Law.

110. In addition to its powers under Bye-Law 109 the Board may (by establishment of or maintenance of schemes or otherwise) provide additional benefits, whether by the payment of gratuities or pensions or by insurance or otherwise, for any past or present Director or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any body corporate associated with, or any business acquired by, any of them, and for any member of his or her family (including a spouse and a former spouse) or any person who is or was dependent on him or her, and may (as well before as after he or she ceases to hold such office or employment) contribute to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such benefit.

111. No Director or former Director shall be accountable to the Company or the Shareholders for any benefit provided pursuant to Bye-Laws 109 and 110 and the receipt of any such benefit shall not disqualify any person from being or becoming a Director of the Company.

DELEGATION OF THE BOARD’S POWERS

112. The Board may by power of attorney appoint any company, firm or person or any fluctuating body of persons, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the Board, to be the attorney or attorneys of the Company for such purposes and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the Board under these Bye-Laws) 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 and of 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 vested in him. Such attorney may, if so authorised by the power of attorney, execute any deed, instrument or other document on behalf of the Company.

113. The Board may entrust to and confer upon any Director, Officer or, without prejudice to the provisions of Bye-Law 114, other person any of the powers, authorities and discretions exercisable by it upon such terms and conditions with such restrictions as it thinks fit, and either collaterally with, or to the exclusion of, its own powers, authorities and discretions,

– 24 –

and may from time to time revoke or vary all or any of such powers, authorities and discretions but no person dealing in good faith and without notice of such revocation or variation shall be affected thereby.

114. When required under the requirements from time to time of any stock exchange on which the shares of the Company are listed, the Board shall appoint an Audit Committee and a Compensation Committee in accordance with the requirements of such stock exchange. The Board also may delegate any of its powers, authorities and discretions to any other committees, consisting of such person or persons (whether a member or members of its body or not) as it thinks fit. Any committee so formed shall, in the exercise of the powers, authorities and discretions so delegated, and in conducting its proceedings conform to any regulations which may be imposed upon it by the Board. If no regulations are imposed by the Board the proceedings of a committee with two (2) or more members shall be, as far as is practicable, governed by the Bye-Laws regulating the proceedings of the Board.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD

115. The Board may meet for the despatch of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate its meetings as it thinks fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be determined by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the motion shall be deemed to have been lost. A Director may, and the Secretary on the requisition of a Director shall, at any time summon a meeting of the Board.

116. Notice of a meeting of the Board may be given to a Director by word of mouth or in any manner permitted by these Bye-Laws. A Director may retrospectively waive the requirement for notice of any meeting by consenting in writing to the business conducted at the meeting.

117. The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the Board may be fixed by the Board and, unless so fixed at any other number, shall be a majority of the Board comprised of at least one (1) Director elected by holders of Class A Shares and at least one (1) Director elected by holders of Class B Shares. Any Director who ceases to be a Director at a meeting of the Board may continue to be present and to act as a Director and, subject to Bye-Law 125, be counted in the quorum until the termination of the meeting if no other Director objects and if otherwise a quorum of Directors would not be present.

118. The Resident Representative shall, upon delivering written notice of an address for the purposes of receipt of notice to the Registered Office, be entitled to receive notice of, attend and be heard at and to receive minutes of all meetings of the Board.

119. So long as a quorum of Directors remains in office, the continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in the Board but, if no such quorum remains, the continuing Directors or a sole continuing Director may act only for the purpose of calling a general meeting.

120. The Board may choose one of their number to preside as chairman at every meeting of the Board. If there is no such chairman, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is not willing to act as chairman, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

– 25 –

121. The meetings and proceedings of any committee consisting of two (2) or more members shall be governed by the provisions contained in these Bye-Laws for regulating the meetings and proceedings of the Board so far as the same are applicable and are not superseded by any regulations imposed by the Board.

122. A resolution in writing signed by all the Directors for the time being entitled to receive notice of a meeting of the Board or by all the members of a committee for the time being shall be as valid and effectual as a resolution passed at a meeting of the Board or, as the case may be, of such committee duly called and constituted. Such resolution may be contained in one document or in several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of the Directors or members of the committee concerned.

123. A meeting of the Board or a committee appointed by the Board may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communication facilities (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, by telephone or by video conferencing) 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. Such a meeting shall be deemed to take place where the largest group of those Directors participating in the meeting are physically assembled, or, if there is no such group, where the chairman of the meeting then is.

124. All acts done by the Board or by any committee or by any person acting as a Director or member of a committee or any person duly authorised by the Board or any committee shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any member of the Board or such committee or person acting as aforesaid or that they or any of them were disqualified or had vacated their office, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and was qualified and had continued to be a Director, member of such committee or person so authorised.

125. Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment (including fixing or varying the terms of appointment) of two (2) or more Directors to offices or employments with the Company or any body corporate in which the Company is interested, the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each Director separately and in such cases each of the Directors concerned (if not debarred from voting under the provisions of these Bye-Laws) shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution except that concerning his own appointment.

126. If a question arises at a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board as to the entitlement of a Director to vote or be counted in a quorum, the question may, before the conclusion of the meeting, be referred to the chairman of the meeting and his ruling in relation to any Director other than himself shall be final and conclusive except in a case where the nature or extent of the interests of the Director concerned have not been fairly disclosed. If any such question arises in respect of the chairman of the meeting, it shall be decided by resolution of the Board (on which the chairman shall not vote) and such resolution will be final and conclusive except in a case where the interests of the chairman have not been fairly disclosed.

OFFICERS

127. The Officers of the Company, who may or may not be Directors, may be appointed by the Board at any time, subject to this Bye-Law 127. Any person appointed pursuant to this Bye-Law 127 shall hold office for such period and upon such terms as the Board may determine and the Board may revoke or terminate any such appointment. Any such revocation or termination shall be without prejudice to any claim for damages that such Officer may have against the Company or the Company may have against such Officer for any breach of any contract of service between him or her and the Company which may be involved in such revocation or termination. Save as provided in the Companies Act or these Bye-Laws, the powers and duties of the Officers of the Company shall be such (if any) as are determined from time to time by the Board.

128. The emoluments of any Director holding executive office for his or her services as such shall be determined by the Board, and may be of any description, and (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) may include admission to or continuance of membership of any scheme (including any share acquisition scheme) or fund instituted or established or financed or contributed to by the Company for the provision of pensions, life assurance or other benefits for employees or their dependants, or the payment of a pension or other benefits to him or her or his or her dependants on or after retirement or death, apart from membership or any such scheme or fund.

129. Save as otherwise provided, the provisions of these Bye-Laws as to resignation and disqualification of Directors shall mutatis mutandis apply to the resignation and disqualification of Officers.

130. The Board shall cause minutes to be made and books kept for the purpose of recording:

(a) all appointments of Officers made by the Board;

(b) the names of the Directors and other persons (if any) present at each meeting of the Board and of any committee; and

(c) all proceedings at meetings of the Company, of the holders of any class of shares in the Company, of the Board and of committees appointed by the Board or the Shareholders.

131. Shareholders shall only be entitled to see the register of Directors and Officers, the Register, the financial information provided for in Bye-Law 151 and the minutes of meetings of the Shareholders of the Company.

– 27 –

SECRETARY AND RESIDENT REPRESENTATIVE

132. The Secretary (including one or more deputy or assistant secretaries) and, if required, the Resident Representative, shall be appointed by the Board at such remuneration (if any) and upon such terms as it may think fit and any Secretary and Resident Representative so appointed may be removed by the Board. The duties of the Secretary and the duties of the Resident Representative shall be those prescribed by the Companies Act together with such other duties as shall from time to time be prescribed by the Board.

133. A provision of the Companies Act or these Bye-Laws requiring or authorising a thing to be done by or to a Director and the Secretary shall not be satisfied by its being done by or to the same person acting both as Director and as, or in the place of, the Secretary.

THE SEAL

134. The Board may authorise the production of a common seal of the Company and one or more duplicate common seals of the Company, which shall consist of a circular device with the name of the Company around the outer margin thereof and the country and year of registration in Bermuda across the centre thereof.

135. Any document required to be under seal or executed as a deed on behalf of the Company may be

(a) executed under the Seal in accordance with these Bye-Laws; or

(b) signed or executed by any person authorised by the Board for that purpose, without the use of the Seal.

136. The Board shall provide for the custody of every Seal. A Seal shall only be used by authority of the Board or of a committee constituted by the Board. Subject to these Bye-Laws, any instrument to which a Seal is affixed shall be attested by the signature of:

(a) a Director; or

(b) the Secretary; or

(c) any one person authorised by the Board for that purpose.

DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENTS

137. The Board may from time to time declare dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus to be paid to the Shareholders according to their rights and interests, including such interim dividends as appear to the Board to be justified by the position of the Company. The Board, in its discretion, may determine that any dividend shall be paid in cash or shall be satisfied, subject to Bye-Laws 144 and 145, in paying up in full shares in the Company to be issued to the Shareholders credited as fully paid or partly paid or partly in one way and partly the other. The Board may also pay any fixed cash dividend which is payable on any shares of the Company half yearly or on such other dates, whenever the position of the Company, in the opinion of the Board, justifies such payment.

– 28 –

138. Except insofar as the rights attaching to, or the terms of issue of, any share otherwise provide, all dividends or distributions out of contributed surplus will be declared and paid pro rata on the shares of each class or series, as applicable, based on the number of shares outstanding of such class or series.

139. No dividend, distribution or other monies payable by the Company on or in respect of any share shall bear interest against the Company.

140. Any dividend, distribution or interest, or part thereof payable in cash, or any other sum payable in cash to the holder of shares may be paid by cheque or warrant sent through the post or by courier addressed to the holder at his address in the Register or, in the case of joint holders, addressed to the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of the shares at his registered address as appearing in the Register or addressed to such person at such address as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall, unless the holder or joint holders otherwise direct, be made payable to the order of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the order of the holder whose name stands first in the Register in respect of such shares, and shall be sent at his or their risk and payment of the cheque or warrant by the bank on which it is drawn shall constitute a good discharge to the Company. Any one of two (2) or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any dividends, distributions or other monies payable or property distributable in respect of the shares held by such joint holders.

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

142. The Board may also, in addition to its other powers, direct payment or satisfaction of any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus wholly or in part by the distribution of specific assets, and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company, and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution or dividend, the Board may settle it as it thinks expedient, and in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may ignore fractions altogether, and may fix the value for distribution or dividend purposes of any such specific assets and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Shareholders upon the footing of the values so fixed in order to secure equality of distribution and may vest any such specific assets in trustees as may seem expedient to the Board, provided that such dividend or distribution may not be satisfied by the distribution of any partly paid shares or debentures of any company without the sanction of a Resolution.

– 29 –

RESERVES

143. The Board may, before declaring any dividend or distribution out of contributed surplus, set aside such sums as it thinks proper as reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Board, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, also at such discretion, either be employed in the business of the Company or be invested in such investments as the Board may from time to time think fit. The Board may also without placing the same to reserve carry forward any sums which it may think it prudent not to distribute.

CAPITALISATION OF PROFITS

144. The Board may from time to time resolve to capitalise all or any part of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund which is available for distribution or to the credit of any share premium account and accordingly that such amount be set free for distribution amongst the Shareholders or any class of Shareholders who would be entitled thereto if distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions, on the footing that the same be not paid in cash but be applied either in or towards paying up amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares in the Company held by such Shareholders respectively or in payment up in full of unissued shares, debentures or other obligations of the Company, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid amongst such Shareholders, or partly in one way and partly in the other, provided that for the purpose of this Bye-Law 144, a share premium account may be applied only in paying up of unissued shares to be issued to such Shareholders credited as fully paid.

145. Where any difficulty arises in regard to any distribution under Bye-Law 144, the Board may settle the same as it thinks expedient and, in particular, may authorise any person to sell and transfer any fractions or may resolve that the distribution should be as nearly as may be practicable in the correct proportion but not exactly so or may ignore fractions altogether, and may determine that cash payments should be made to any Shareholders in order to adjust the rights of all parties, as may seem expedient to the Board. The Board may appoint any person to sign on behalf of the persons entitled to participate in the distribution any contract necessary or desirable for giving effect thereto and such appointment shall be effective and binding upon the Shareholders.

RECORD DATES

146. Notwithstanding any other provisions of these Bye-Laws, the Board may fix, any date as the record date for any dividend, distribution, reduction of capital, allotment or issue and for the purpose of identifying the persons entitled to receive notices of any general meeting.

147. In relation to any general meeting of the Company or of any class of Shareholder or to any adjourned meeting or any poll taken at a meeting or adjourned meeting of which notice is given, the Board may specify in the notice of meeting or adjourned meeting or in any document sent to Shareholders by or on behalf of the Board in relation to the meeting, a

– 30 –

time and date (record date) before the date fixed for the meeting (meeting date) and, notwithstanding any provision in these Bye-Laws to the contrary, in such case:

(a) each person entered in the Register at the record date as a Shareholder, or a Shareholder of the relevant class, (record date holder) shall be entitled to attend and to vote at the relevant meeting and to exercise all of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder, or a Shareholder of the relevant class, in relation to that meeting in respect of the shares, or the shares of the relevant class, registered in his or her name at the record date;

(b) as regards any shares, or shares of the relevant class, which are registered in the name of a record date holder at the record date but are not so registered at the meeting date (relevant shares), each holder of any relevant shares at the meeting date shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed that record date holder as his proxy for the purpose of attending and voting in respect of those relevant shares at the relevant meeting (with power to appoint, or to authorise the appointment of, some other person as proxy), in such manner as the record date holder in his absolute discretion may determine; and

(c) accordingly, except through his proxy pursuant to Bye-Law 147(b) above, a holder of relevant shares at the meeting date shall not be entitled to attend or to vote at the relevant meeting, or to exercise any of the rights or privileges of a Shareholder, or a Shareholder of the relevant class, in respect of the relevant shares at that meeting.

148. The entry of the name of a person in the Register as a record date holder shall be sufficient evidence of his appointment as proxy in respect of any relevant shares for the purposes of this paragraph, but all the provisions of these Bye-Laws relating to the execution and deposit of an instrument appointing a proxy or any ancillary matter (including the Board’s powers and discretions relevant to such matter) shall apply to any instrument appointing any person other than the record date holder as proxy in respect of any relevant shares.

ACCOUNTING RECORDS

149. The Board shall cause to be kept accounting records sufficient to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to show and explain its transactions, in accordance with the Companies Act.

150. The records of account shall be kept at the Registered Office or at such other place or places as the Board thinks fit, and shall at all times be open to inspection by the Directors, PROVIDED that if the records of account are kept at some place outside Bermuda, there shall be kept at an office of the Company in Bermuda such records as will enable the Directors to ascertain with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Company at the end of each three (3) month period. No Shareholder (other than an Officer of the Company) shall have any right to inspect any accounting record or book or document of the Company except as conferred by law or authorised by the Board or by Resolution.

151. A copy of every balance sheet and statement of income and expenditure, 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 Auditors’ report, shall be sent to each person entitled thereto in accordance with Bye-Law 151 and the requirements of the Companies Act.

– 31 –

AUDIT

152. Save and to the extent that an audit is waived in the manner permitted by the Companies Act, Auditors shall be appointed and their duties regulated in accordance with the Companies Act, any other applicable law and such requirements not inconsistent with the Companies Act as the Board may from time to time determine.

SERVICE OF NOTICES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS

153. Any notice or other document (including but not limited to a share certificate, any notice of a general meeting of the Company, any instrument of proxy and any document to be sent in accordance with Bye-Law 151) may be sent to, served on or delivered to any Shareholder by the Company

(a) personally;

(b) by sending it through the post (by airmail where applicable) in a pre-paid letter addressed to such Shareholder at his address as appearing in the Register;

(c) by sending it by courier to or leaving it at the Shareholder’s address appearing in the Register;

(d) where applicable, by sending it by email or facsimile or other mode of representing or reproducing words in a legible and non-transitory form or by sending an Electronic Record of it by electronic means, in each case to an address or number supplied by such Shareholder for the purposes of communication in such manner; or

(e) by publication of an Electronic Record of it on a website and notification of such publication (which shall include the address of the website, the place on the website where the document may be found, and how the document may be accessed on the website) by any of the methods set out in paragraphs 153(a), 153(b), 153(c) or 153(d) of this Bye-Law, in accordance with the Companies Act.

In the case of joint holders of a share, service or delivery of any notice or other document on or to one of the joint holders shall for all purposes be deemed as sufficient service on or delivery to all the joint holders.

154. Any notice or other document shall be deemed to have been sent to, served on or delivered to any Shareholder by the Company

(a) if sent by personal delivery, at the time of delivery;

(b) if sent by post, forty-eight (48) hours after it was put in the post;

– 32 –

(c) if sent by courier or facsimile, twenty-four (24) hours after sending;

(d) if sent by email or other mode of representing or reproducing words in a legible and non-transitory form or as an Electronic Record by electronic means, twelve (12) hours after sending; or

(e) if published as an Electronic Record on a website, at the time that the notification of such publication shall be deemed to have been delivered to such Shareholder,

and in proving such sending, service or delivery, it shall be sufficient to prove that the notice or document was properly addressed and stamped and put in the post, published on a website in accordance with the Companies Act and the provisions of these Bye-Laws, or sent by courier, facsimile, email or as an Electronic Record by electronic means, as the case may be, in accordance with these Bye-Laws.

155. Each Shareholder and each person becoming a Shareholder subsequent to the adoption of these Bye-Laws, by virtue of its holding or its acquisition and continued holding of a share, as applicable, shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed that any notice or other document (excluding a share certificate) may be provided by the Company by way of accessing them on a website instead of being provided by other means.

156. If any time, by reason of the suspension or curtailment of postal services within Bermuda or any other territory, the Company is unable effectively to convene a general meeting by notices sent through the post, a general meeting may be convened by a notice advertised in at least one national newspaper published in the territory concerned and such notice shall be deemed to have been duly served on each person entitled to receive it in that territory on the day, or on the first day, on which the advertisement appears. In any such case the Company shall send confirmatory copies of the notice by post if at least five (5) clear days before the meeting the posting of notices to addresses throughout that territory again becomes practicable.

157. Save as otherwise provided, the provisions of these Bye-Laws as to the sending or service of notices and other documents on Shareholders shall mutatis mutandis apply to service or delivery of notices and other documents to the Company or any Director or Resident Representative pursuant to these Bye-Laws.

DESTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS

158. The Company shall be entitled to destroy all instruments of transfer of shares which have been registered and all other documents on the basis of which any entry is made in the register at any time after the expiration of six (6) years from the date of registration thereof and all dividends mandates or variations or cancellations thereof and notifications of change of address at any time after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of recording thereof and all share certificates which have been cancelled at any time after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of cancellation thereof and all paid dividend warrants and cheques at any time after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of actual payment thereof and all instruments of proxy which have been used for the purpose of a poll at any time after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of such use and all

– 33 –

instruments of proxy which have not been used for the purpose of a poll at any time after one (1) month from the end of the meeting to which the instrument of proxy relates and at which no poll was demanded. It shall conclusively be presumed in favour of the Company that every entry in the register purporting to have been made on the basis of an instrument of transfer or other document so destroyed was duly and properly made, that every instrument of transfer so destroyed was a valid and effective instrument duly and properly registered, that every share certificate so destroyed was a valid and effective certificate duly and properly cancelled and that every other document hereinbefore mentioned so destroyed was a valid and effective document in accordance with the recorded particulars thereof in the books or records of the Company, provided always that:

(a) the provisions aforesaid shall apply only to the destruction of a document in good faith and without notice of any claim (regardless of the parties thereto) to which the document might be relevant;

(b) nothing herein contained shall be construed as imposing upon the Company any liability in respect of the destruction of any such document earlier than as aforesaid or in any other circumstances which would not attach to the Company in the absence of this Bye-Law 158; and

(c) references herein to the destruction of any document include references to the disposal thereof in any manner.

WINDING UP

159. If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator may, with the sanction of a Resolution and any other sanction required by the Companies Act, divide amongst the Shareholders, in accordance with the rights attached to any shares or class of shares, in specie or kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether they shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for such purposes set such values as he deems fair upon any property to be divided as aforesaid and may determine how such division shall be carried out as between the Shareholders or different classes of Shareholders. The liquidator may, with the like sanction, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trust for the benefit of the contributories as the liquidator, with the like sanction, shall think fit, but so that no Shareholder shall be compelled to accept any shares or other assets upon which there is any liability.

INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE

160. Subject to the proviso below, every Indemnified Person shall be indemnified and held harmless out of the assets of the Company against all liabilities, loss, damage or expense (including but not limited to liabilities under contract, tort and statute or any applicable foreign law or regulation and all reasonable legal and other costs including defence costs incurred in defending any legal proceedings whether civil or criminal and expenses properly payable) incurred or suffered by him by or by reason of any act done, conceived in or omitted in the conduct of the Company’s business or in the discharge of his duties and the indemnity contained in this Bye-Law 160 shall extend to any Indemnified Person

– 34 –

acting in any office or trust in the reasonable belief that he has been appointed or elected to such office or trust notwithstanding any defect in such appointment or election provided always that the indemnity contained in this Bye-Law 160 shall not extend to any matter which would render it void pursuant to the Companies Act.

161. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for the acts, defaults or omissions of any other Indemnified Person.

162. To the extent that any Indemnified Person is entitled to claim an indemnity pursuant to these Bye-Laws in respect of amounts paid or discharged by him, the relevant indemnity shall take effect as an obligation of the Company to reimburse the person making such payment or effecting such discharge.

163. Each Shareholder and the Company agree to waive any claim or right of action he or it may at any time have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Company, against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by such Indemnified Person or the failure of such Indemnified Person to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Company provided however that such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud of such Indemnified Person or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such Indemnified Person is not legally entitled.

164. The Company shall advance moneys to any Indemnified Person for the costs, charges, and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against them, on condition and receipt of an undertaking in a form satisfactory to the Company that of the Indemnified Person shall repay such portion of the advance attributable to any claim of fraud or dishonesty if such a claim is proved against the Indemnified Person provided that no monies shall be paid hereunder unless payment of the same shall be authorised in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director or Officer would be proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the standard of conduct which would entitle him or her to the indemnification thereby provided and such determination shall be made:

(a) by the Board, by a majority vote at a meeting duly constituted by a quorum of Directors not party to the proceedings or matter with regard to which the indemnification is, or would be, claimed; or

(b) in the case such a meeting cannot be constituted by lack of a disinterested quorum, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or

(c) by a majority vote of the Shareholders.

165. Without prejudice to the provisions of this Bye-Law 165, the Board shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance for or for the benefit of any Indemnified Person or any persons who are or were at any time Directors, Officers, employees of the Company, or of any other company which is its Holding Company or in which the Company or such Holding Company has any interest whether direct or indirect or which is in any way allied to or associated with the Company, or of any Subsidiary undertaking of the Company or any such other company, or who are or were at any time trustees of any pension fund in

– 35 –

which employees of the Company or any such other company or Subsidiary undertaking are interested, including (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing) insurance against any liability incurred by such persons in respect of any act or omission in the actual or purported execution or discharge of their duties or in the exercise or purported exercise of their powers or otherwise in relation to their duties, powers or offices in relation to the Company or any such other company, Subsidiary undertaking or pension fund.

AMALGAMATION AND MERGER

166. Subject to the Companies Act, any resolution proposed for consideration at any general meeting to approve the amalgamation or merger of the Company with any other company, wherever incorporated, shall require the approval of:

(a) the Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of Directors then in office, and

(b) the Shareholders by resolution passed or adopted by: (i) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares and Class A-1 Shares who vote, as a single class of shares, in respect of the resolution; and (ii) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of the Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution. For greater certainty, the quorum for such meetings referred to in this Bye-Law 166 shall be the same as the quorum requirements set out in Bye-Law 51.

CONTINUATION

167. Subject to the Companies Act, the Company may with the approval of:

(a) the Board, by resolution adopted by a majority of Directors then in office, and

(b) the Shareholders, by resolution passed or adopted by: (i) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares who vote in respect of the resolution; and (ii) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of the Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution,

approve the discontinuation of the Company in Bermuda and the continuation of the Company in a jurisdiction outside Bermuda.

ALTERATION OF BYE-LAWS

168. These Bye-Laws may be revoked or amended only by the Board, which may from time to time revoke or amend them in any way by a resolution of the Board passed by a majority of the Directors then in office and eligible to vote on that resolution. No such revocation or amendment shall be operative unless and until it is approved at a subsequent general meeting of the Company by the Shareholders, by resolution passed or adopted by: (i) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher

– 36 –

percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares who vote in respect of the resolution; and (ii) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of the Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution. When a revocation or amendment to the Bye-Laws is submitted to the Shareholders at a subsequent general meeting for approval, the Company shall specify to Shareholders whether such revocation or amendment takes effect:

(a) immediately upon approval by the relevant Shareholders;

(b) on a specified later date;

(c) upon the occurrence of a specified event; or

(d) on a date to be determined at the Board’s discretion, not later than fifteen (15) months from the date of approval by the Shareholders.

UNTRACED SHAREHOLDERS

169. The Company shall be entitled to sell, at the best price reasonably obtainable, the shares of a Shareholder or the shares to which a person is entitled by virtue of transmission on death, bankruptcy, or otherwise by operation of law if and provided that:

(a) during a period of six (6) years, no dividend or capital reduction in respect of those shares has been claimed and at least three (3) cash dividends or capital reductions have become payable on the share in question;

(b) on or after expiry of that period of six (6) years, the Company has inserted an advertisement in a newspaper circulating in the area of the last registered address at which service of notices upon the Shareholder or person entitled by transmission may be effected in accordance with these Bye-Laws and in a national newspaper published in the relevant country, giving notice of its intention to sell such shares:

(c) during that period of six (6) years and the period of three (3) months following the publication of such advertisement, the Company has not received any communication from such Shareholder or person entitled by transmission; and

(d) if so required by the rules of any securities exchange upon which the shares in question are listed for the time being, notice has been given to that exchange of the Company’s intention to make such sale.

170. If during any six (6) year period referred to in Bye-Law 169 above, further shares have been issued in right of those held at the beginning of such period or of any previously issued during such period and all the other requirements of this Bye-Law (other than the requirement that they be in issue for six (6) years) have been satisfied in regard to the further shares, the Company may also sell the further shares.

171. To give effect to any such sale, the Board may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the

– 37 –

purchaser and an instrument of transfer executed by that person shall be as effective as if it had been executed by the holder of, or person entitled by transmission to, the shares. The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the shares be affected by any irregularity in, or invalidity of, the proceedings in reference to the sale.

172. The net proceeds of sale shall belong to the Company which shall be obliged to account to the former Shareholder or other person previously entitled as aforesaid for an amount equal to such proceeds and shall enter the name of such former Shareholder or other person in the books of the Company as a creditor for such amount. No trust shall be created in respect of the debt, no interest shall be payable in respect of the same and the Company shall not be required to account for any money earned on the net proceeds, which may be employed in the business of the Company or invested in such investments as the Board from time to time thinks fit.

(i)  BN (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding BN Shares wholly or partly in BN Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding BN Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding BN Shares into a smaller number of BN Shares, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of BN Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (assuming for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of BN Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

Any adjustment under this clause (i) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such distribution of the type described in this clause (i) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Exchange Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the BN Board determines not to pay such dividend, to the Exchange Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

(ii) BN distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of BN Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire BN Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for BN Shares) (each a “BN Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such BN Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such BN Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of BN Shares issued and

– 44 –

outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such BN Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of BN Shares deliverable or purchasable under such BN Distributed Rights and (B) the denominator of which shall be (x) the number of BN Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date plus (y) such number of BN Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such BN Distributed Rights of the maximum number of BN Shares purchasable under such BN Distributed Rights by the average of the BN Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such BN Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that, if any such BN Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the BN Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of BN Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under this clause (ii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such issuance (or, if later, the date such rights, options or warrants become exercisable). To the extent that the BN Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Factor shall be decreased to the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of BN Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BN Board determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such BN Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by BN for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the BN Board.

(iii)  (A) BN distributes to all or substantially all holders of BN Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding dividends paid exclusively in cash, distributions referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) above or any Spin-off referred to in clause (iii)(B) below) or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities (but excluding distributions referred to in clause (ii) above), the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the BN Share Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and

– 45 –

including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BN Share Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend less the fair market value on the Record Date for such dividend (as determined by the BN Board) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants so dividended applicable to one BN Share.

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(A) will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend. If such dividend is not paid or made, the Exchange Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BN Board determines not to pay or make such dividend, to be the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fair market value (as determined by the BN Board) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets, rights, options or warrants distributable to one BN Share is equal to or greater than the average BN Share Value referenced above in this clause (iii)(A), in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, each Exchangeable Shareholder shall receive from the Company, in respect of each Class A Share or Class A-1 Share held, as applicable,, a distribution of cash payable out of the funds legally available therefor (at the same time as holders of the BN Shares), that in the determination of the Company, is comparable as a whole in all material respects with the amount of BN indebtedness or assets or rights, options or warrants to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire such securities that such holder would have received if such holder owned a number of BN Shares equal to the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Record Date.

(B) Where there has been a Spin-off, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the share capital or similar equity interest applicable to one BN Share distributed to BN Share holders over the Valuation Period plus the average of the BN Share Value over the Valuation Period and (b) the denominator of which shall be the average of the BN Share Value over the Valuation Period; provided that, the Company may elect to pay cash in lieu of making an adjustment to the Exchange Factor provided by this clause (iii)(B), in which case the Company shall be required to pay to the Exchangeable Shareholders and the Exchangeable Shareholders shall be entitled to receive, cash on the third (3rd) Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period in an amount in respect of each Class A Share and/or Class A-1 Share held, calculated by multiplying the BN Share Value on the Record Date of such Spin-off by the amount the Exchange Factor would have increased as a result of such Spin-off if no such cash payment was made.

– 46 –

Any adjustment under this clause (iii)(B) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect as of the Open of Business on the Record Date for such Spin-off.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Exchangeable Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references contained in the definition of Valuation Period to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for the purposes of the foregoing for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Record Date of such Spin-off and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Exchange Factor. If any such Spin-off does not occur, the Exchange Factor shall be decreased, effective as of the date the BN Board determines not to proceed with the Spin-off, to be the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect if such Spin-off had not been pursued.

(iv)  BN or one of its subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the BN Shares (but excluding for all purposes any tender or exchange offer involving an offer to exchange BN Shares for Class A Shares or any other security that is economically equivalent to BN Shares), to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per BN Share exceeds the average of the BN Share Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Expiration Date”), then the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be (x) the sum of the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the BN Board) paid or payable in respect of BN Shares in such tender or exchange offer plus (y) the average of the BN Share Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date multiplied by the number of BN Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all BN Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer, without duplication), and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of BN Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Expiration Date (before giving effect to the purchase of all BN Shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer) multiplied by the average of the BN Share Value over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

For greater certainty, no adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made for any normal course issuer bid or similar stock buyback, which includes any tender or exchange offer, whether or not made through the facilities of a stock exchange, for an amount equal to 10% or less of the outstanding BN Shares prior to the commencement of the bid or buyback. Any adjustment under this clause (iv) will be made immediately after the Close of Business on the tenth (10th) Trading Day

– 47 –

immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Expiration Date and shall be given effect as of the Open of Business on the day next succeeding the Expiration Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of any exchange by a Exchangeable Shareholder during the Valuation Period, references above to “ten (10) consecutive Trading Days” shall be deemed for such holder to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Expiration Date and the Trading Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date in determining the Exchange Factor.

(v)  the Company (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A Shares wholly or partly in Class A Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding Class A Shares into a smaller number of Class A Shares, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

(vi)  the Company (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Class A-1 Shares wholly or partly in Class A-1 Shares; (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding Class A-1 Shares or (c) effects a reverse share split or otherwise combines or reclassifies its outstanding Class A-1 Shares into a smaller number of Class A-1 Shares, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date for such event by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Class A-1 Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable (determined without the assumption for such purpose that such dividend, split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification has occurred as of such time), and (y) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Class A-1 Shares (assuming the above assumption has occurred) issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date for such dividend or the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable.

– 48 –

Any adjustment under clause (v) and this clause (vi) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date for such dividend, or immediately after the Open of Business on the Effective Date for such split, subdivision, reverse split, combination or reclassification, as applicable. If such dividend of the type described in clause (v) and this clause (vi) is declared but not so paid or made and will not be so paid or made, the Exchange Factor shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board determines not to pay such dividend, to the Exchange Factor that would be in effect if such dividend had not been declared.

(vii)  the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a “Class A Distributed Right”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus (y) such number of Class A Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights by the average of the Class A Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A Shares purchasable under such Class A Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

(viii)  the Company distributes any rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Class A-1 Shares to convert into, exchange for or subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire Class A-1 Shares (or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Class A-1 Shares) at a price per share that is less than the average of the Class A-1 Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading

– 49 –

Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (each a “Class A-1 Distributed Right” and together with a “Class A Distributed Right, the “Distributed Rights”), then, as of the Record Date for the distribution of such Class A-1 Distributed Rights or, if later, the time such Class A-1 Distributed Rights become exercisable, the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Exchange Factor in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Record Date by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be (x) the number of Class A-1 Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A-1 Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus (y) such number of Class A-1 Shares determined by dividing the minimum aggregate cash purchase price under such Class A-1 Distributed Rights of the maximum number of Class A-1 Shares purchasable under such Class A-1 Distributed Rights by the average of the Class A-1 Share Value for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance (or, if later, the date such Class A-1 Distributed Rights become exercisable) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of Class A-1 Shares issued and outstanding as of the Close of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Class A-1 Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Class A-1 Shares purchasable under such Class A-1 Distributed Rights; provided, however, that, if any such Class A-1 Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Exchange Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the Record Date of the Class A-1 Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Class A-1 Shares or any change in the minimum aggregate purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction.

Any adjustment under clause (vii) and clause (viii) will be made successively whenever such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Record Date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable) for such issuance. To the extent that the Class A Shares are not delivered and will not be delivered after the exercise of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Factor shall be increased to the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of Class A Shares actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Exchange Factor shall be increased, effective as of the date the Board determines not to issue such rights, options or warrants, to the Exchange Factor that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.

In determining the minimum aggregate purchase price under such Distributed Rights, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board.

– 50 –

Any adjustment to the Exchange Factor shall be calculated up to four (4) decimal places. Within ten (10) Business Days of the effectiveness of any adjustment or readjustment of the Exchange Factor, the Company shall make a public announcement of such adjustment or readjustment.

PART 2

CLASS A EXCHANGEABLE LIMITED VOTING SHARES AND CLASS A-1 NON-VOTING SHARES

Special Rights and Restrictions

2.1      The Class A Shares as a class and the Class A-1 Shares as a class, as applicable, shall have attached thereto the special rights and restrictions specified in this Part 2. Except for the voting rights set forth in Section 2.17 and Section 2.18 and the conversion rights set forth in Sections 2.24 to 2.30, the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to the Class A Shares as a class and the Class A-1 Shares as a class are identical in all respects.

DISTRIBUTIONS

Distribution Rights

2.2       Each Exchangeable Shareholder shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall pay thereon, as and when declared by the Board, distributions which, for greater certainty, may take the form of a dividend, a capital reduction resulting in a return of capital, or a combination of a dividend and a capital reduction, in each case in an amount for each Exchangeable Share equal to the cash dividend declared on each BN Share on each BN Dividend Declaration Date multiplied

– 55 –

by the Exchange Factor in effect on the Record Date of such dividend or capital reduction (the “Exchangeable Distribution”), it being understood that Exchangeable Shareholders will not be entitled to any distributions other than the Exchangeable Distribution, except as provided in these Bye-Laws. The record and payment dates for any Exchangeable Distributions shall be such dates that the Board shall designate from time to time.

Stock Distributions, Consolidations and Subdivisions

2.3      In the event of a stock distribution, consolidation or subdivision of the BN Shares, a corresponding stock distribution, consolidation or subdivision may be effected in respect of the Exchangeable Shares in order to avoid the need to make an adjustment to the Exchange Factor. In addition, in the event a distribution is declared and paid on the Class B Shares consisting of Class B Shares, the Board shall, subject to applicable Law, contemporaneously declare and pay on the Exchangeable Shares an equivalent distribution on a per share basis consisting of Exchangeable Shares. In the event the Board approves, and the Company effects, a consolidation, division or subdivision of the Class B Shares into shares of a larger par value or into shares of a smaller par value, as applicable, the Board shall, subject to applicable Law, contemporaneously approve, and the Company shall contemporaneously effect, an equivalent consolidation, division or subdivision of the Exchangeable Shares. In the event the Board approves, and the Company effects, a consolidation, division or subdivision of either class of the Exchangeable Shares into shares of a larger par value or into shares of a smaller par value, as applicable, the Board shall, subject to applicable Law, contemporaneously approve, and the Company shall contemporaneously effect, an equivalent consolidation, division or subdivision of both classes of Exchangeable Shares. For greater certainty, no consent or resolution of the holders of the Class A Shares, Class A-1 Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares or any other class of shares will be required in connection with the consolidation, division or subdivision of the Class A Shares or Class A-1 Shares, as applicable.

Unpaid Distributions

2.4      If the full amount of a Exchangeable Distribution is not paid on the payment date for any dividend declared by the BN Board on the BN Shares, then such Exchangeable Distribution shall accrue and accumulate (without interest), whether or not the Company has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not such distributions are earned, declared or authorized (such amounts, the “Unpaid Distributions”). Any distribution payment made on the Class A Shares, Class A-1 Shares or Class B Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated Unpaid Distributions due with respect to such shares which remains payable.

Payment of Distributions

2.5      Cheques of the Company may be issued in respect of all Exchangeable Distributions contemplated by Section 2.2 and the sending of such cheque to each Exchangeable Shareholder will satisfy the cash distribution represented thereby unless the cheque is not paid on presentation. Subject to the requirements of applicable Law with respect to unclaimed property, no Exchangeable Shareholder will be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against the Company any distribution that is represented by a cheque that has not been duly presented to the Company’s bankers for payment or that otherwise remains unclaimed for a period of two years from the date on which such distribution was first payable.

RANKING

Ranking of the Class A Shares and Class A-1 Shares

2.6      The Class A Shares, the Class A-1 Shares and the Class B Shares shall, as to the payment of distributions and return of capital in a Liquidation Event, rank pari passu with each other, in preference to the Junior Preferred Shares and the Class C Shares, and after the Senior Preferred Shares and any other senior-ranking shares outstanding from time to time with respect to the payment of distributions (if, as and when declared) and on a return of capital on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for purposes of winding up its affairs.

VOTING

Voting Rights of Class A Shares

2.7      Except as expressly provided herein, each Class A Shareholder will be entitled to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, all meetings of shareholders of the Company, except for meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class or series. Each Class A Shareholder shall be entitled, subject to Section 2.10 and Section 2.11, to cast one vote for each Class A Share held at the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote on any matter. Except as required by Law and except for any matter that only requires the approval of the holders of the Class C Shares as set out in this Schedule “A” and except for voting in respect of the election of Directors, all resolutions of shareholders must be passed or adopted by: (i) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class A Shares who vote in respect of the resolution, and (ii) a majority or, where a higher threshold is specified under applicable Law, the higher percentage of the votes cast by holders of Class B Shares who vote in respect of the resolution. For greater certainty, at any time that there are no Class A Shares outstanding, no approval of the holders of Class A Shares will be required for any resolution and at any time that there are no Class B Shares outstanding, no approval of the holders of Class B Shares will be required for any resolution.

2.8      Subject to any rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Shares to elect directors under specified circumstances, the holders of the outstanding Class A Shares shall be entitled to elect one-half of the Board, provided that, at any time that there are no Class B Shares outstanding, the Class A Shares will be entitled to elect the full Board.

2.9      As provided for in Bye-Law 85, and subject to Section 2.10 and Section 2.11, each holder of Class A Shares has the right to cast a number of votes equal to the number of votes attached to the Class A Shares held by the holder multiplied by the number of directors designated for election by all holders of Class A Shares. A holder of Class A Shares may cast all such votes in favour of one candidate or distribute such votes among its candidates in any manner the holder sees fit. Where a holder has voted for more than one candidate without specifying the distribution of votes among such candidates, the holder shall be deemed to have divided the holder’s votes equally among the candidates for whom the holder voted.

Restriction on Voting Rights of Class A Shares

2.10      Notwithstanding anything else in these Bye-laws to the contrary, to the extent that, for any reason and by any means, a Person, whether or not an existing Class A Shareholder, owns or controls directly, indirectly or by attribution Class A Shares which represent in excess of 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company, then all Class A Shares which such Person may own or control directly, indirectly or by attribution in excess of 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company (such excess shares, the “Excess Class A Shares”) shall be deemed to carry no voting rights whatsoever in the hands of the Class A Shareholder actually owning such shares for the purpose of the calculation of any vote which may or which is required to be taken at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company for any purpose.

2.11      Where shares actually owned by more than one Class A Shareholder are treated as owned or controlled by a Person for purposes of Section 2.10, the Company shall determine which Excess Class A Shares deemed owned or controlled directly, indirectly or by attribution by such Person represent in excess of 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company, and, accordingly, which Class A Shareholder or Class A Shareholders shall have their voting rights reduced. The Excess Class A Shares of such Class A Shareholder or Class A Shareholders which are determined by the Company to represent in excess of 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company shall be allocated for voting purposes to all the other Class A Shareholders of the Company as closely as practicable, pro rata, including if necessary, through the allocation of a fraction of a vote, to the shareholdings of such other Class A Shareholders; provided, however, that no other Class A Shareholder shall be allocated voting rights pursuant to this Section 2.11 if to do so would (i) render such other Class A Shareholder a Ten Percent Shareholder, (ii) render some other Person a Ten Percent Shareholder, or (iii) increase the voting rights attached to the Class A Shares owned or controlled by an existing Ten Percent Shareholder. In the event that a reallocation of voting rights pursuant to this Section 2.11 would result in an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), voting rights shall be reallocated as closely as practicable, pro rata, including if necessary, through the allocation of a fraction of a vote, among other Class A Shareholders in a manner that does not result in an event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). The adjustments of voting power and allocation of voting rights pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall apply repeatedly until such re-allocation does not result in an event described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after having applied the provisions hereof as best as it considers reasonably practicable, the Company may make such adjustments to the voting rights conferred by the Excess Class A Shares of any Person that the Company shall consider fair and reasonable under all the applicable facts and circumstances to ensure that such Excess Class A Shares represent no more than 9.9% of the aggregate voting rights of all of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company at any time. The Company may, in its sole discretion, retain the services of a third party firm or organization with relevant professional capabilities in order to assist the Company in administering Section 2.10 and Section 2.11.

2.12      The Company may, by notice in writing, require any Class A Shareholder or prospective acquiror of Class A Shares of the Company (including its publicly held Class A Shares) to provide, within not less than ten (10) business days, complete and accurate information

If any Class A Shareholder or Person or prospective acquiror of Class A Shares of the Company does not respond to any notice given pursuant to this Section 2.12 within the time specified in such notice, or the Company shall have reason to believe that any information provided in relation thereto is incomplete or inaccurate, the Company may determine, acting in good faith, that the votes attaching to any Class A Shares of the Company registered in the name of such Class A Shareholder or Person or prospective acquiror shall be disregarded for all purposes until such time as a response (or additional response) to such notice reasonably satisfactory to the Company has been received as specified therein.

2.13      Any direct or indirect holder of Class A Shares shall give notice to the Company within ten days following the date that such holder acquires actual knowledge that it owns or controls directly, indirectly or by attribution Class A Shares which represent in excess of 9.9% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares of the Company (without giving effect to voting power adjustments and/or reallocations under Section 2.10 and Section 2.11).

2.14     Any information provided by any shareholder to the Company pursuant to Section 2.12 and Section 2.13 or for purposes of making the analysis required by Section 2.10 and Section 2.11, shall be used by the Company solely for the purposes contemplated therein (except as may be required otherwise by applicable law or regulation). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall be permitted, but not required, to disclose to shareholders and others the relative voting percentages of all shareholders after application of the voting power adjustments and/or reallocations under Section 2.10 and Section 2.11.

2.15     Each of the Board and the Company shall not be liable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law to its shareholders or any other Person whatsoever for any errors in judgment made by it in interpreting or enforcing the restrictions set forth in Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 so long as the Board and/or the Company shall have acted in good faith.

Amendment with Approval of Class A Shareholders

2.16     In addition to any other approvals required by Law, any approval given by the Class A Shareholders to add to, change or remove any right, privilege, restriction or condition attaching to the Class A Shares or any other matter requiring the approval or consent of the Class A Shareholders as a separate class will be deemed to have been sufficiently given if it will have been given in accordance with applicable Law, subject to a minimum requirement that such amendment be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast on such amendment at a meeting of Class A Shareholders duly called and held for such purpose.

– 59 –

Voting Rights of Class A-1 Shares

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) for so long as there is not an effective registration statement for the delivery of the BN Shares Amount for the Tendered Exchangeable Shares, BN will not be required to deliver a Cash Amount (in lieu of the BN Shares Amount for any Tendered Exchangeable Shares) in excess of $5,000,000 in the aggregate over any 30 consecutive calendar day period, provided that such limit will not apply for more than 90 consecutive calendar days during any 12 calendar month period; and (ii) a Notice of Exchange will not be accepted, and no Exchange Right may be exercised, during the 15 business days prior to the Specified Redemption Date or the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or a BN Liquidation Event.

Satisfaction of Exchange Rights

2.21(a)     After receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange and such additional documents and instruments as the Transfer Agent, BN or its transfer agent may reasonably require, subject to Section 2.21(b), BN will acquire the applicable Tendered Exchangeable Shares on or prior to the Specified Exchange Date. Subject to Section 2.21(b), BN will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder, at the address of the holder recorded in the register of the Company for the Class A Shares or Class A-1 Shares, as applicable, or at the address specified in the holder’s Notice of Exchange, either (i) the BN Shares Amount, or (ii) the Cash Amount, as BN may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, together with a cash amount for each Tendered Exchangeable Share equal to any Unpaid Distributions per Tendered Exchangeable Share ((i) or (ii), plus such Unpaid Distributions collectively being the “Exchange Consideration”) and such delivery of such Exchange Consideration by or on behalf of BN will be deemed to be payment of and will satisfy and discharge all liability for the Exchange Rights so exercised. Should BN elect to satisfy Exchange Rights by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 2.5.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 2.21(a), after receipt by the Transfer Agent of a Notice of Exchange, pursuant to the terms of one or more agreements (each, a “Remarketing Agreement”) between BN and one or more persons (a “Remarketer”), a Remarketer may find purchasers for any Tendered Exchangeable Shares at a price that is not less than (after expenses) the Exchange Consideration, provided that the conditions set forth in this Section 2.21(b) are satisfied. If a purchaser is found pursuant to the terms of the Remarketing Agreement (a “Purchaser”), the Purchaser will purchase from such Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder the Tendered Exchangeable Shares on the date specified by the Remarketer, provided that such date shall be at least two Business Days prior to the Specified Exchange Date (the “Purchase Date”) for a price that is not less than (after expenses) the Exchange Consideration. Provided that the payment (the “Remarketing Consideration”) for the Tendered Exchangeable Shares has been paid to the Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder, then (i) the closing of the purchase and sale of the Tendered Exchangeable Shares will be deemed to have occurred as at the close of business on the Purchase Date, (ii) BN will not acquire the Tendered Exchangeable Shares and (iii) BN will no longer be obligated pursuant to Section 2.19 to satisfy the Exchange Rights and deliver the Exchange Consideration. For greater certainty, if (x) a Purchaser cannot be found, (y) the Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder has withheld its consent to the sale of the Tendered Exchangeable Shares or (z) the Purchaser fails to deliver, subject to any tax withholding due, the price that is not less than (after expenses) the Exchange Consideration in each case, prior to the Purchase Date, the Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder will receive, in consideration for each Tendered Exchangeable Share, the Exchange Consideration from BN pursuant to Section 2.21(a).

2.22     Any Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Tendered Exchangeable Shares redeemed, repurchased or exchanged, to receive any distributions on the Exchangeable Shares with a Record Date on or after the date on which the Transfer Agent receives such Notice of Exchange. Each Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder shall continue to own each Exchangeable Share subject to any Notice of Exchange, and be treated as an Exchangeable Shareholder with respect to each such Exchangeable Share for all other

– 61 –

purposes of these Bye-Laws, until such Exchangeable Share has been acquired in accordance with Section 2.21. A Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder shall have no rights as a shareholder of BN with respect to any BN Shares to be received by such Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder in exchange for Tendered Exchangeable Shares pursuant to Section 2.19 until such BN Shares have been issued to such Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder.

2.23     If BN does not satisfy its obligations under section 2.19 to deliver the Exchange Consideration to a Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder within ten (10) Business Days after the Specified Exchange Date, such Tendering Exchangeable Shareholder shall have the right, pursuant to the Rights Agreement, to institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against BN in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce, or otherwise act in respect of, the obligations of BN to deliver the Exchange Consideration, and each Exchangeable Shareholder shall be made a third party beneficiary of the Rights Agreement and shall have the full right to enforce the Rights Agreement in accordance with its terms as if it were a signatory thereto.

2.23.1     Following the acquisition of a Tendered Exchangeable Share by BN pursuant to Section 2.21(a), BN will own the Tendered Exchangeable Share and be treated as an Exchangeable Shareholder with respect to such Exchangeable Share for all purposes of these Bye-Laws provided that:

a) BN will not be permitted to exercise the Exchange Right in respect of the Tendered Exchangeable Share;

b) BN will be permitted to convert the Tendered Exchangeable Share into Class C Shares pursuant to Section 4.15; or

c) BN will be permitted to transfer the Tendered Exchangeable Share (“Recirculated Exchangeable Share”), in which case any holder of a Recirculated Exchangeable Share would be permitted to exercise the Exchange Right, but provided that prior notice of the transfer is given to the Company confirming (i) the number of Recirculated Exchangeable Shares, (ii) the approval by the BN Board of the issuance of the BN Shares issuable on exchange of the Recirculated Exchangeable Shares (“Additional BN Shares”), (iii) if the Exchangeable Shares are then listed on the any stock exchange, the approval of the stock exchange for the listing of the Additional BN Shares and (iv) the satisfaction by BN of the securities laws applicable to the transfer (provided that this Section 2.23.1(c) shall not be interpreted as requiring the Company to register such Recirculated Exchangeable Share).

CONVERSION RIGHTS

Conversion at the Option of the Class A-1 Shareholder

2.24     Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.24 and applicable Law, each Class A-1 Shareholder shall be entitled, from time to time, to convert any Class A-1 Shares held by it into Class A Shares on a one for one basis (the “Conversion Right”). No Class A-1 Shareholder shall be permitted to convert its Class A-1 Shares, and the Company will not authorize or effect any conversions of Class A-1 Shares, unless the requesting holder has

– 62 –

Automatic Re-Designation

2.25     On August 29, 2024 at Close of Business (the “Company Specified Re-Designation Date”), the Company shall re-designate all, but not less than all, issued and outstanding Class A-1 Shares held by each Class A-1 Shareholder into Class A Shares on a one for one basis automatically and without any further action (the “Company Re-Designation Right”).

2.28     Subject to any applicable Laws, the Company will, on the Company Specified Re-Designation Date, re-designate all, but not less than all, issued and outstanding Class A-1 Shares held by Class A-1 Shareholders into the requisite number of Class A Shares on a one for one basis. The Transfer Agent or the Company, as applicable, shall update the Register to reflect the re-designation of the Class A-1 Shares into Class A Shares effective concurrently therewith.

2.29     Any Class A-1 Shareholder shall have no further right, with respect to any Class A-1 Shares re-designated pursuant to Section 2.25, to receive any distributions on the Class A-1 Shares with a Record Date on or after the Company Specified Conversion Date. Each Class A-1 Shareholder shall continue to own each Class A-1 Share, and be treated as a Class A-1 Shareholder with respect to each such Class A-1 Share for all other purposes of these Bye-Laws, until such Class A-1 Share has been re-designated in accordance with Section 2.25.

Notice of Conversion

2.30     A Class A-1 Shareholder must deliver a Notice of Conversion either electronically (by electronic mail or by any other electronic procedure that may be established by the Transfer Agent from time to time and communicated to the Class A-1 Shareholders by the Company, BN or the Transfer Agent)

or physically (by mail, courier, hand delivery or otherwise) to any office of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt of a Notice of Conversion.

2.31     No Notice of Conversion will be accepted during (i) the calendar month in which quarterly distributions are paid to the Exchangeable Shareholders or the Class A Shareholder, or (ii) during the period commencing 10 business days prior to the Record Date for any special dividend or stock distribution and up to and including on the payment date for such dividend (the “Conversion Blackout Period”). Any notice of conversion purported to be delivered to the Company during a Conversion Blackout Period will be deemed to have been received on the business day immediately following the date on which a Conversion Blackout Period expires.

Satisfaction of Conversion Rights

2.32     Upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion, and subject to the satisfaction of the Regulatory Condition set forth in Section 2.24 and Section 2.30, and any other provisions of any applicable Laws, the Company will, on or prior to the Specified Conversion Date, redeem the Class A-1 Shares subject to the Notice of Conversion in exchange for the issue and delivery to the converting Class A-1 Shareholder of the requisite number of Class A Shares and the Transfer Agent shall cancel the converted Class A-1 Shares subject to the Notice of Conversion effective concurrently therewith.

Should the Company elect to satisfy its obligation to redeem the Exchangeable Shares by delivering the Cash Amount, then the payment of such amount shall be made in the manner set forth in Section 2.5.

2.36      Each Exchangeable Shareholder shall continue to own each Exchangeable Share subject to any Notice of Redemption, and be treated as a Class A Shareholder or Class A-1 Shareholder, as applicable, with respect to each such Exchangeable Share, until such Exchangeable Share has been redeemed in accordance with Section 2.34.

BN Redemption Call Right

2.37     Notwithstanding the provisions in Sections 2.33 to 2.34 above, in the event the Company provides a Notice of Redemption to each Exchangeable Shareholder, BN shall have an

– 65 –

overriding right to acquire, or cause its affiliate to acquire, all, but not less than all, of the Exchangeable Shares from each Exchangeable Shareholder by delivering the Redemption Consideration (the form of Redemption Consideration to be determined by BN in its sole and absolute discretion) in accordance with Section 2.34, mutatis mutandis, in satisfaction of the obligations of the Company as set out therein (such right being the “Redemption Call Right”), and in the event of the exercise by BN of the Redemption Call Right, each Exchangeable Shareholder will be obligated to sell all Exchangeable Shares held by such Exchangeable Shareholder to BN (or its affiliate, as applicable) on delivery by BN (or its affiliate, as applicable) to such Exchangeable Shareholder of the Redemption Consideration and the Company will have no obligation to pay any Redemption Consideration to the holders of such Exchangeable Shares so purchased by BN.

To avoid backup withholding of U.S. federal income tax on the redemption of Tendered Exchangeable Shares, a U.S. Shareholder that is a U.S. person must, unless an exemption applies, provide the Transfer Agent with such holder’s correct taxpayer identification number (TIN) (which, in the case of an individual, generally is the individual’s social security number) or employer identification number (EIN), certify under penalties of perjury that such TIN or EIN is correct, and provide certain other certifications by completing the IRS Form W-9 included in this Notice of Exchange. If a U.S. Shareholder does not provide his, her, or its correct TIN or EIN or fails to provide the required certifications, the IRS may impose certain penalties on such holder, and payments to such holder upon the redemption of Tendered Exchangeable Shares may be subject to backup withholding at a rate currently equal to 24%. All U.S. Shareholders that are U.S. persons submitting this Notice of Exchange should complete and sign the IRS Form W-9 to provide the information and certifications necessary to avoid backup withholding (unless an applicable exemption exists and is proved in a manner satisfactory to the Transfer Agent). To the extent that a U.S. Shareholder designates another U.S. person to receive payment, such other person may be required to provide a properly completed IRS Form W-9.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the amount of backup withholding may be credited against the U.S. federal income tax liability of the person subject to backup withholding. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of tax, a refund can be obtained by the U.S. Shareholder by timely providing the required information to the IRS.

If the Transfer Agent has not been provided with a properly certified TIN or EIN by the time of payment, backup withholding will apply. If the Tendered Exchangeable Shares are held in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the instructions on the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for guidance on which name and TIN or EIN to report.

Certain U.S. Shareholders (such as corporations and individual retirement accounts) are not subject to backup withholding but may be required to provide evidence of their exemption from backup withholding. Exempt U.S. Shareholders should enter the appropriate exempt payee code on IRS Form W-9. See the enclosed IRS Form W-9 for instructions.

A U.S. Shareholder that is not a U.S. person and is not acting on behalf of a U.S. person should not complete IRS Form W-9. Instead, to establish an exemption from backup withholding, such U.S. Shareholder should properly complete and submit an IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY, W-8ECI, or W-8EXP, as applicable, attesting to such exempt status. An appropriate IRS Form W-8 may be obtained from the Transfer Agent or on the IRS website (www.irs.gov).

ALL U.S. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE HOW THE FOREGOING BACKUP WITHHOLDING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS APPLY TO THEM WITH REGARD TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

For the latest information about developments related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted after they were published, go to www.irs.gov/FormW9. What’s New Line 3a has been modified to clarify how a disregarded entity completes this line. An LLC that is a disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Otherwise, it should check the “LLC” box and enter its appropriate tax classification. New line 3b has been added to this form. A flow-through entity is required to complete this line to indicate that it has direct or indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when it provides the Form W-9 to another flow-through entity in which it has an ownership interest. This change is intended to provide a flow-through entity with information regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting requirements. For example, a partnership that has any indirect foreign partners may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3. See the Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065). Purpose of Form An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an information return with the IRS is giving you this form because they Cat. No. 10231X Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024)

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 2 must obtain your correct taxpayer identification number (TIN), which may be your social security number (SSN), individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN), adoption taxpayer identification number (ATIN), or employer identification number (EIN), to report on an information return the amount paid to you, or other amount reportable on an information return. Examples of information returns include, but are not limited to, the following. Form 1099-INT (interest earned or paid). Form 1099-DIV (dividends, including those from stocks or mutual funds). Form 1099-MISC (various types of income, prizes, awards, or gross proceeds). Form 1099-NEC (nonemployee compensation). Form 1099-B (stock or mutual fund sales and certain other transactions by brokers). Form 1099-S (proceeds from real estate transactions). Form 1099-K (merchant card and third-party network transactions). Form 1098 (home mortgage interest), 1098-E (student loan interest), and 1098-T (tuition). Form 1099-C (canceled debt). Form 1099-A (acquisition or abandonment of secured property). Use Form W-9 only if you are a U.S. person (including a resident alien), to provide your correct TIN. Caution: If you don’t return Form W-9 to the requester with a TIN, you might be subject to backup withholding. See What is backup withholding, later. By signing the filled-out form, you: 1. Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued); 2. Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding; or 3. Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee; and 4. Certify to your non-foreign status for purposes of withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code (if applicable); and 5. Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting is correct. See What Is FATCA Reporting, later, for further information. Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester’s form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9. Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a U.S. person if you are: An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; An estate (other than a foreign estate); or A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding. Payments made to foreign persons, including certain distributions, allocations of income, or transfers of sales proceeds, may be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or chapter 4 of the Code (sections 1441–1474). Under those rules, if a Form W-9 or other certification of non-foreign status has not been received, a withholding agent, transferee, or partnership (payor) generally applies presumption rules that may require the payor to withhold applicable tax from the recipient, owner, transferor, or partner (payee). See Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities. The following persons must provide Form W-9 to the payor for purposes of establishing its non-foreign status. In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the disregarded entity. In the case of a grantor trust with a U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. grantor or other U.S. owner of the grantor trust and not the grantor trust. In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a grantor trust), the U.S. trust and not the beneficiaries of the trust. See Pub. 515 for more information on providing a Form W-9 or a certification of non-foreign status to avoid withholding. Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person (under Regulations section 1.1441-1(b)(2)(iv) or other applicable section for chapter 3 or 4 purposes), do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515). If you are a qualified foreign pension fund under Regulations section 1.897(l)-1(d), or a partnership that is wholly owned by qualified foreign pension funds, that is treated as a non-foreign person for purposes of section 1445 withholding, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use Form W-8EXP (or other certification of non-foreign status). Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a saving clause. Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes. If you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Form W-9 that specifies the following five items. 1. The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 2. The treaty article addressing the income. 3. The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 4. The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 5. Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article. Example. Article 20 of the U.S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U.S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if their stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years. However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U.S.-China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first Protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on their scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption. If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233. Backup Withholding What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called “backup withholding.” Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include, but are not limited to, interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third-party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding. You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return. Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if: 1. You do not furnish your TIN to the requester; 2. You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details); 3. The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN; 4. The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only); or 5. You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding, as described in item 4 under “By signing the filled-out form” above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 3 Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier. What Is FATCA Reporting? The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all U.S. account holders that are specified U.S. persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information. Updating Your Information You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you are no longer tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account, for example, if the grantor of a grantor trust dies. Penalties Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect. Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty. Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment. Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Specific Instructions Line 1 You must enter one of the following on this line; do not leave this line blank. The name should match the name on your tax return. If this Form W-9 is for a joint account (other than an account maintained by a foreign financial institution (FFI)), list first, and then circle, the name of the person or entity whose number you entered in Part I of Form W-9. If you are providing Form W-9 to an FFI to document a joint account, each holder of the account that is a U.S. person must provide a Form W-9. Individual. Generally, enter the name shown on your tax return. If you have changed your last name without informing the Social Security Administration (SSA) of the name change, enter your first name, the last name as shown on your social security card, and your new last name.

This should also be the same as the name you entered on the Form 1040 you filed with your application. Sole proprietor. Enter your individual name as shown on your Form 1040 on line 1. Enter your business, trade, or “doing business as” (DBA) name on line 2. Partnership, C corporation, S corporation, or LLC, other than a disregarded entity. Enter the entity’s name as shown on the entity’s tax return on line 1 and any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2. Other entities. Enter your name as shown on required U.S. federal tax documents on line 1. This name should match the name shown on the charter or other legal document creating the entity. Enter any business, trade, or DBA name on line 2. Disregarded entity. In general, a business entity that has a single owner, including an LLC, and is not a corporation, is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner (a disregarded entity). See Regulations section 301.7701-2(c)(2). A disregarded entity should check the appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Enter the owner’s name on line 1. The name of the owner entered on line 1 should never be a disregarded entity. The name on line 1 should be the name shown on the income tax return on which the income should be reported. For example, if a foreign LLC that is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal tax purposes has a single owner that is a U.S. person, the U.S. owner’s name is required to be provided on line 1. If the direct owner of the entity is also a disregarded entity, enter the first owner that is not disregarded for federal tax purposes. Enter the disregarded entity’s name on line 2. If the owner of the disregarded entity is a foreign person, the owner must complete an appropriate Form W-8 instead of a Form W-9. This is the case even if the foreign person has a U.S. TIN. Line 2 If you have a business name, trade name, DBA name, or disregarded entity name, enter it on line 2. Line 3a Check the appropriate box on line 3a for the U.S. federal tax classification of the person whose name is entered on line 1. Check only one box on line 3a.

You must check the box on line 3b if you receive a Form W-8 (or documentary evidence) from any partner, owner, or beneficiary establishing foreign status or if you receive a Form W-9 from any partner, owner, or beneficiary that has checked the box on line 3b. Note: A partnership that provides a Form W-9 and checks box 3b may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065). For more information, see the Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065). If you are required to complete line 3b but fail to do so, you may not receive the information necessary to file a correct information return with the IRS or furnish a correct payee statement to your partners or beneficiaries. See, for example, sections 6698, 6722, and 6724 for penalties that may apply.

If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records. Line 6 Enter your city, state, and ZIP code. Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have, and are not eligible to get, an SSN, your TIN is your IRS ITIN. Enter it in the entry space for the Social security number. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below. If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN. If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner’s SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). If the LLC is classified as a corporation or partnership, enter the entity’s EIN. Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations. How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/EIN. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4 mailed to you within 15 business days. If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and enter “Applied For” in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, you will generally have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester. Note: Entering “Applied For” means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon. See also Establishing U.S. status for purposes of chapter 3 and chapter 4 withholding, earlier, for when you may instead be subject to withholding under chapter 3 or 4 of the Code. Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 5 Part II. Certification To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information, such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund. To reduce your risk: Protect your SSN, Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and Be careful when choosing a tax return preparer. If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter. If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity, or a questionable credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039. For more information, see Pub. 5027, Identity Theft Information for Taxpayers.

Form W-9 (Rev. 3-2024) Page 6 Victims of identity theft who are experiencing economic harm or a systemic problem, or are seeking help in resolving tax problems that have not been resolved through normal channels, may be eligible for Taxpayer Advocate Service (TAS) assistance. You can reach TAS by calling the TAS toll-free case intake line at 877-777-4778 or TTY/TDD 800-829-4059. Protect yourself from suspicious emails or phishing schemes. Phishing is the creation and use of email and websites designed to mimic legitimate business emails and websites. The most common act is sending an email to a user falsely claiming to be an established legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The IRS does not initiate contacts with taxpayers via emails. Also, the IRS does not request personal detailed information through email or ask taxpayers for the PIN numbers, passwords, or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank, or other financial accounts. If you receive an unsolicited email claiming to be from the IRS, forward this message to phishing@irs.gov. You may also report misuse of the IRS name, logo, or other IRS property to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) at 800-366-4484. You can forward suspicious emails to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov or report them at www.ftc.gov/complaint. You can contact the FTC at www.ftc.gov/idtheft or 877-IDTHEFT (877-438-4338). If you have been the victim of identity theft, see www.IdentityTheft.gov and Pub. 5027.
