INFORMATION
REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item
3.  Incorporation of Documents by Reference
The
following documents filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act"), are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration
Statement:
(a)
The
      Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
      December 31, 2008 filed on March 13,
  2009;
(b)

The description of
      the Registrant's ordinary shares contained in the Registrant's
      Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on June 6, 2008 under the
      Exchange Act, including any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
      updating such description.
All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant with the Commission pursuant to
Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and prior to the
filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered

Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any
other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated
herein by reference modifies or supersedes such statement.  Any
statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified

Item
5.  Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item
6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Cayman
Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and
articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and
directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman
Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide
indemnification against actual fraud (whether criminal or civil), dishonesty, or
the consequences of committing a crime.  Our memorandum and articles
of association provide for indemnification of our officers and directors for any
liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual
fraud or wilful deceit.
The
Registrant maintains insurance policies that indemnify its directors and
officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity
as such.
