liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 4.

Not applicable.
Item 5.

Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The bylaws of the Registrant provide that every director and officer of the Registrant shall
be indemnified out of the funds of the Registrant against:
(1)
all civil 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 and expenses properly
payable) incurred or suffered by him as such director or officer acting in the
reasonable belief that he has been so appointed or elected notwithstanding any
defect in such appointment or election, provided always that such indemnity shall
not extend to any matter which
-1-
would render it void pursuant to any Marshall Islands statute from time to time in
force concerning companies insofar as the same applies to the Registrant (the
"Companies Acts"); and
(2)
all liabilities incurred by him as such director or officer in
defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in
his favor, or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application under
the Companies Acts in which relief from liability is granted to him by the court.
Section 60 of the Associations Law of the Republic of the Marshall Islands provides as
follows:
Indemnification of directors and officers.
(1)
Actions not by or in right of the corporation
.
A corporation shall
have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by
or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a
director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the
corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith
and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The
termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement,
conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner
which he reasonable believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
(2)
Actions by or in right of the corporation
. A corporation shall have
the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made
a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the
defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not, opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claims, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the
corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or
suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of
liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly
and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem
proper.
(3)
When director or officer successful
. To the extent that director or
officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense
of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) or (2) of this
section, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be
indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection therewith.
(4)
Payment of expenses in advance
. Expenses incurred in defending a civil
or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final
disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of
directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this
section.
(5)
Continuation of indemnification
. The indemnification and advancement of
expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise
provided when authorized or ratified, continue
-2-
as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(6)
Insurance
. A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or
officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such
capacity whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under the provisions of this section.

Item 9.
Undertakings.
(a)
Rule 415 Offering
. The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act.
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered
would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or
high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form
of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration
statement.
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement.
-3-
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b)
Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference
. The Registrant
hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(c)
Request for Acceleration of Effective Date or Filing of Registration Statement on Form
S-8
. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
