ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
.
Except to the extent indicated below, there is no charter provision, by-law, contract, arrangement or statute under which any director or officer of the Company is insured or indemnified in any manner against any liability which he or she may incur in his or her capacity as such.
Paragraph 115 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company provides as follows:
115.  Every Director and other officer of the Company (other than an auditor) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any cost, expense, liability or other matter incurred by him in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in relation to his acts while acting in such office in which judgment is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted or in connection with any application in which relief is granted to him by the Court under the Acts.
Section 200 of the Irish Companies Act of 1963 (as amended) provides as follows:
(1)  Subject as hereinafter provided, any provision whether contained in the articles of a company or in any contract with a company or otherwise for exempting any officer of the company or any person employed by the company as auditor from, or indemnifying him against, any liability which by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise attach to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which he may be guilty in relation to the company shall be void, so, however, that:
(a)
nothing in this section shall operate to deprive any person of any exemption or right to be indemnified in respect of anything done or omitted to be done by him while any such provision was in force; and
(b)
notwithstanding anything in this section, a company may, in pursuance of any such provision as aforesaid, indemnify any such officer or auditor against any liability incurred by him in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is given in his favour or in which he is acquitted, or in connection with any application under section 391 of the Companies Act, 1963, or section 42 of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1983, in which relief is granted to him by the court.
(2)  Notwithstanding subsection (1), a company may purchase and maintain for any of its officers or auditors insurance in respect of any liability referred to in that subsection.
(3) Notwithstanding any provision contained in an enactment, the articles of a company or otherwise, a director may be counted in the quorum and may vote on any resolution to purchase or maintain any insurance under which the director may benefit.
(4) Any directors' and officers' insurance purchased or maintained by a company before the date on which the amendments made to this section by the
Companies (Auditing and Accounting) Act 2003
came into operation is as valid and effective as it would have been if those amendments had been in operation when that insurance was purchased or maintained.
(5) In this section a reference to an officer or auditor includes any former or current officer or auditor of the company, as the case may be.
The Company has granted contractual indemnities to its directors, its secretary and a number of members of its management ("Indemnified Persons").  Under these contractual indemnities, the Indemnified Persons
II-2
will be indemnified by the Company against certain liabilities, including any liabilities arising out of anything done or not done by the Indemnified Persons in the context of any offering for the subscription or purchase of the Company's securities.  These contractual indemnities will remain in effect for as long as the Indemnified Persons are subject to any possible claim of a type covered by the indemnities.  Certain matters are, however, excluded from these contractual indemnities, including any event based on any dishonest or fraudulent act or omission or willful misconduct by or on behalf of the Indemnified Persons.  In the case of the Company's directors and secretary, their indemnities will only have effect so long as the indemnity complies with Irish law, including in particular Section 200 of the Irish Companies Act, 1963 (as described above).
The Company maintains a standard form of directors' and officers' liability insurance policy, which provides coverage to its directors and officers for certain liabilities.

UNDERTAKINGS
.
(a)           The undersigned 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:
II-3
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(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;
(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) 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 periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this 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)           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
