<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.5pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The
Company is a Bermuda exempted company. Section&nbsp;98 of the Companies Act
1981 of Bermuda (the &#147;Companies Act&#148;) provides generally that a Bermuda company
may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which
by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of
any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases
where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director,
officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section&nbsp;98
further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers
and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any
proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their
favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of
Bermuda pursuant to section&nbsp;281 of the Companies Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0pt 0pt 6.0pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:9.5pt;letter-spacing:-.1pt;">The
Company has adopted provisions in our bye-laws that provide that it will
indemnify its officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions,
except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The Company&#146;s bye-laws provide
that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they might
have, individually or in right of the company, against any of the Company&#146;s
directors or officers for any act or failure to act in the performance of such
director&#146;s or officer&#146;s duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of
such director or officer. Section&nbsp;98A of the Companies Act permits the
Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or
director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not the
Company may otherwise indemnify such officer or director. The Company has
purchased and maintain a directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability policy for such a
purpose.</font></p>

indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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

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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The
Company is a Bermuda exempted company. Section 98 of the Companies Act
1981 of Bermuda (the "Companies Act") provides generally that a Bermuda company
may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which
by virtue of any rule of law would otherwise be imposed on them in respect of
any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, except in cases
where such liability arises from fraud or dishonesty of which such director,
officer or auditor may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98
further provides that a Bermuda company may indemnify its directors, officers
and auditors against any liability incurred by them in defending any
proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded in their
favor or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by the Supreme Court of
Bermuda pursuant to section 281 of the Companies Act.
The
Company has adopted provisions in our bye-laws that provide that it will
indemnify its officers and directors in respect of their actions and omissions,
except in respect of their fraud or dishonesty. The Company's bye-laws provide
that the shareholders waive all claims or rights of action that they might
have, individually or in right of the company, against any of the Company's
directors or officers for any act or failure to act in the performance of such
director's or officer's duties, except in respect of any fraud or dishonesty of
such director or officer. Section 98A of the Companies Act permits the
Company to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or
director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any
negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not the
Company may otherwise indemnify such officer or director. The Company has
purchased and maintain a directors' and officers' liability policy for such a
purpose.
The
form of Underwriting Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 1.2 to
Company's Registration Statement on Form
S-1 (Registration No. 333-139939)
provides
for indemnification of directors and officers of the Company by the
underwriters against certain liabilities.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(a)           The 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 a 20% change in the maximum
aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 (i)
and (ii) of this section do not apply if 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 Securities Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in the 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;
(4)
that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933
to any purchaser:
(i) Each
prospectus filed by the Company pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed
to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus
was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each
prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or
(b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B
relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or
(x) for the purpose of providing the information required by
Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of
and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such
form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first
contract of sale of securities in the offering described in prospectus. As
provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person
that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective
date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the
registration statement to which the prospectus relates, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
Provided, however
, that no statement made
in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by
reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration
statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such
effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the
registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration
statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective
date; and
(5) that, for the
purpose of determining liability of the Company under the Securities Act of
1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the
Company undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Company
pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method
used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or
sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the
Company will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or
sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Company
relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared
by or on behalf of the Company or used or referred to by the Company;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to
the offering containing material information about the Company or its
securities provided by or on behalf of the Company; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made
by the Company to the purchaser.
(b) The 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
Securities Exchange Act (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 provisions described
under Item 6 above, 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 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 Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
