The Company may have offices and branches (whether or not a permanent establishment) both in Luxembourg and abroad. In the event that the board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be) should determine that extraordinary political, economic or social developments have occurred or are imminent that would interfere with the normal activities of the Company at its registered office or with the ease of communication between such office and persons abroad, the registered office may be temporarily transferred abroad until the complete cessation of these extraordinary circumstances; such temporary measures shall have no effect on the nationality of the Company which, notwithstanding the temporary transfer of its registered office, will remain a Luxembourg company.

The Company's share capital is set at USD 47,500 (forty-seven thousand five hundred United States Dollars), represented by 47,500 (forty-seven thousand five hundred) shares with a nominal value ofUSD 1 (one United States Dollar) each.

Art. 9. Each share confers an identical voting right and each shareholder has voting rights commensurate to his shareholding. Art. 10. The shares are freely transferable among the shareholders.

However, if the redemption price is in excess of the nominal value of the shares to be redeemed, the redemption may only be decided to the extent that the excess purchase price may not exceed total profits made since the end of the last financial year for which the annual accounts have been approved, 3 |
| plus any profits carried forward and sums drawn from reserves available for this purpose, less losses carried forward and any sums to be placed to reserve pursuant to the requirements of the Law or of Articles. Such redeemed shares shall be cancelled by reduction of the share capital. Management Art. 12. The Company will be managed by one or more managers. If several managers have been appointed, they will constitute a board of managers composed of one or several category A manager(s) and of one or several category B manager(s).

The manager(s) shall be appointed and designated as category A manager or category B manager, and her/his/its/their remuneration determined, by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders taken by simple majority of the votes cast, or of the sole shareholder (as the case may be). The remuneration of the manager(s) can be modified by a resolution taken at the same majority conditions. The general meeting of shareholders or the sole shareholder (as the case may be) may, at any time and "ad nutum ", remove and replace any manager. All powers not expressly reserved by the Law or the Articles to the general meeting of shareholders or to the sole shareholder (as the case may be) fall within the competence of the board of managers, or of the sole manager ( as the case may be). In dealing with third parties, the manager, or, in case of plurality of managers, the board of managers will have all powers to act in the name of the Company in all circumstances and to carry out and approve all acts and operations consistent with the Company's object, provided the terms of these Articles shall have been complied with.

The board of managers or the sole manager (as the case may be), may from time to time sub-delegate her/his/its powers for specific tasks to one or several ad hoc agent(s) who need not be shareholder(s) or manager(s) of the Company. The board of managers, or the sole manager (as the case may be) will determine the powers, duties and remuneration (if any) of its agent(s), the duration of the period of representation and any other relevant conditions of his/their agency. Art. 13. In case of plurality of managers, the decisions of the managers are taken by meeting of the board of managers. The board of managers shall appoint from among its members a chairman which in case of tie vote, shall have a casting vote. The chairman shall preside at all meetings of the board of managers.

The board of managers shall meet when convened by one manager. Notice of any meeting of the board of managers shall be given to all managers at least 2 (two) days in advance of the time set for such meeting except in the event of emergency, the nature of which is to be set forth in the minute of the meeting. Any convening notice shall specify the time and place of the meeting and the nature of the business to be transacted. Convening notices can be given to each manager by word of mouth, in writing or by fax, cable, 4 |
| telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable communication means. The notice may be waived by the consent, in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable communication means, of each manager. The meeting will be duly held without prior notice if all the managers are present or duly represented. No separate notice is required for meetings held at times and places specified in a schedule previously adopted by a resolution of the board of managers. Any manager may act at any meeting of managers by appointing in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex or electronic means another manager as his/her/its proxy. A manager may represent more than one manager. The managers may participate in a board of managers meeting by phone, videoconference, or any other suitable telecommunication means allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time, provided that a majority of the managers shall never attend the meeting while being located in the same foreign jurisdiction. Such participation in a meeting is deemed equivalent to participation in person at a meeting of the managers. The board of managers can validly deliberate and act only if the majority of its members is present or represented, including at least one category A manager and one category B manager. Decisions of the board of managers are adopted by the majority of the managers participating to the meeting or duly represented thereto including at least one category A manager and one category B manager. The deliberations of the board of managers shall be recorded in the minutes, which have to be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager. Any transcript of or excerpt from these minutes shall be signed by the chairman or one category A manager and one category B manager. Resolutions in writing approved and signed by all managers shall have the same effect as resolutions passed at a managers' meeting. In such cases, written resolutions can either be documented in a single document or in several separate documents having the same content. Written resolutions may be transmitted by ordinary mail, fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means, or any other suitable telecommunication means. Art. 14. Any manager does not contract in his function any personal obligation concerning the commitments regularly taken by him in the name of the Company; as a representative of the Company, he is only responsible for the execution of his mandate. General meetings of shareholders Art. 15. In case of plurality of shareholders, decisions of the shareholders are taken as follows: The holding of a shareholders meeting is not compulsory as long as the shareholders number is less than 25 (twenty-five). In such case, each shareholder shall receive the whole text of each resolution or decision to be taken, transmitted in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or any other suitable telecommunication means. Each shareholder shall vote in writing. If the shareholders number exceeds 25 (twenty-five), the decisions of the shareholders are taken by meetings of the shareholders. In such a case 1 (one) general meeting shall be held at least annually in Luxembourg within 6 (six) months of the closing of the last financial year. Other general meetings of shareholders may be held in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg at any time specified in the notice of the meeting. 5 |

All notices must specify the time and place of the meeting. If all shareholders are present or represented at the general meeting and state that they have been duly informed of the agenda of the meeting, the general meeting may be held without prior notice. Any shareholder may act at any general meeting by appointing in writing or by fax, cable, telegram, telex, electronic means or by any other suitable telecommunication means another person who needs not be shareholder. Each shareholder may participate in general meetings of shareholders. Resolutions at the meetings of shareholders or resolutions proposed in writing to the shareholders are validly taken in so far as they are adopted by shareholders representing more than half of the share capital of the Company. If this quorum is not formed at a first meeting or at the first consultation, the shareholders are immediately convened or consulted a second time by registered letter and resolutions will be taken at the majority of the vote cast, regardless of the portion of capital represented. However, resolutions to amend the Articles shall only be taken by an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, at a majority of shareholders representing at least three-quarters of the share capital of the Company. A sole shareholder exercises alone the powers devolved to the meeting of shareholders by the Law. Except in case of current operations concluded under normal conditions, contracts concluded between the sole shareholder and the Company have to be recorded in minutes or drawn-up in writing.

At the end of this period and of each subsequent period, the statutory auditor( s) can be renewed in its/their function by a new resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or of the sole shareholder ( as the case may be) until the holding of the next annual general meeting dealing with the approval of the annual accounts.
