</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of association require it, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law (and in the absence of (a)&nbsp;intentional act or omission, committed
without a legal and legitimate business purpose, (b)&nbsp;the intentional violation of statute, rules or
law, or (c)&nbsp;obtaining personal gain, personal profit or advantage to which such person is not
entitled under applicable law), to indemnify and hold harmless any past, present or future
director, officer, duly authorized agent or member of a duly constituted committee of each of its
affiliated companies and joint venture companies, and any person who is or was serving at the
written request of its board of directors as a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, an
affiliated company or a joint venture company, including service with respect to any employee
benefit plan, where in respect of any such joint venture company the person to be indemnified,
regardless of title, has been duly appointed or duly authorized by a representative of its or any
affiliated company, and any liquidator, attorney (including both inside and outside attorneys),
manager or trustee for the time being acting in relation to its affairs but not including any
trustee appointed by a court in a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives or successors or assigns, and
their spouses or domestic partners (when recognized as such under the laws of the domestic
partner&#146;s residence) when they become the subject of any claim as a result of the actions of their
spouse or domestic partner who is an indemnified person, from and against all claims or
liabilities, loss, damage, cost or reasonable expense, Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of
1974 excise taxes or penalties (including but not limited to liabilities under contact, tort and
statute) to which that individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason
of his or her service in any of the foregoing capacities.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Accordingly, the Company may enter into indemnification agreements which provide for
indemnification of its directors, officers and employees in a form which is consistent with the
provisions of its amended and restated articles of association. The Company is also required to
use its best reasonable efforts to maintain director&#146;s and officer&#146;s insurance for the benefit of
its officers and directors, however, the Company is not required to maintain said policies if such
insurance is not reasonably available or if it is determined in good faith by its then current
directors that (i)&nbsp;the premium cost is disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or (ii)
the protection provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient
benefit to warrant the cost of maintaining such insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s amended and restated articles of association require it to advance or reimburse
its directors and officers for reasonable expenses incurred in defending any civil, administrative
or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The foregoing is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full

Table of Contents
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's amended and restated articles of association require it, to the maximum extent
permitted by applicable law (and in the absence of (a) intentional act or omission, committed
without a legal and legitimate business purpose, (b) the intentional violation of statute, rules or
law, or (c) obtaining personal gain, personal profit or advantage to which such person is not
entitled under applicable law), to indemnify and hold harmless any past, present or future
director, officer, duly authorized agent or member of a duly constituted committee of each of its
affiliated companies and joint venture companies, and any person who is or was serving at the
written request of its board of directors as a director, officer, employee or agent of ours, an
affiliated company or a joint venture company, including service with respect to any employee
benefit plan, where in respect of any such joint venture company the person to be indemnified,
regardless of title, has been duly appointed or duly authorized by a representative of its or any
affiliated company, and any liquidator, attorney (including both inside and outside attorneys),
manager or trustee for the time being acting in relation to its affairs but not including any
trustee appointed by a court in a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives or successors or assigns, and
their spouses or domestic partners (when recognized as such under the laws of the domestic
partner's residence) when they become the subject of any claim as a result of the actions of their
spouse or domestic partner who is an indemnified person, from and against all claims or
liabilities, loss, damage, cost or reasonable expense, Employee Retirement Income Securities Act of
1974 excise taxes or penalties (including but not limited to liabilities under contact, tort and
statute) to which that individual may become subject or which that individual may incur by reason
of his or her service in any of the foregoing capacities.
Accordingly, the Company may enter into indemnification agreements which provide for
indemnification of its directors, officers and employees in a form which is consistent with the
provisions of its amended and restated articles of association. The Company is also required to
use its best reasonable efforts to maintain director's and officer's insurance for the benefit of
its officers and directors, however, the Company is not required to maintain said policies if such
insurance is not reasonably available or if it is determined in good faith by its then current
directors that (i) the premium cost is disproportionate to the amount of coverage provided, or (ii)
the protection provided by such insurance is so limited by exclusions that there is insufficient
benefit to warrant the cost of maintaining such insurance.
The Company's amended and restated articles of association require it to advance or reimburse
its directors and officers for reasonable expenses incurred in defending any civil, administrative
or criminal action or proceeding for which indemnification is required.
The foregoing is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
amended and restated articles of association which are filed as exhibit 1.1 to our Registration
Statement on Form 20-F incorporated by reference herein.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

filed with the Commission on March 27, 2009).
Item 9. Undertakings.
(a)
The undersigned Company 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 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 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;
Provided, however
, That:
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration
Statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Company pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that
are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.
(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) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each filing of the Company'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.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in
Table of Contents
the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
