     of the proxy desired in the space provided. A shareholder may appoint one
     or more proxies to attend and vote in his stead. A proxy need not be a

     THE BOX MARKED "AGAINST". If you wish to abstain from voting on any
     resolution, tick in the box marked: "ABSTAIN". Any abstain vote or waiver
     to vote shall be disregarded as voting rights for the purpose of
     calculating the result of that resolution. If you do not indicate how you
     wish your proxy to vote, your proxy will be entitled to exercise his
     discretion. Unless you have indicated otherwise in this form of proxy, your

     the power of attorney authorising that attorney to sign, or other document
     of authorisation, must be notarised.

7.   Where there are joint holders of any shares, any one of such persons may
     vote at the Meeting, either personally or by proxy, in respect of such
     shares as if he were solely entitled thereto. However, if more than one of
     such joint holders is present at the Meeting, either personally or by
     proxy, then one of the said persons so present whose name stands first in
     the register of members in respect of such shares shall alone be entitled
     to vote in respect thereof.
