          The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining

          Registrant&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a) or
          Section&nbsp;15(d) of the Exchange Act and, where applicable, each filing of the

          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 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. </FONT></P>

Item 6. Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
Section 98 of the Bermuda Companies
Act 1981, as amended (the "Companies Act") provides generally that a Bermuda
company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against any liability which by
virtue of Bermuda law otherwise would be imposed on them, except in cases where such
liability arises from the fraud or dishonesty of which such director, officer or auditor
may be guilty in relation to the company. Section 98 further provides that a Bermudian
company may indemnify its directors, officers and auditors against liability incurred by
them in defending any proceedings, whether civil or criminal, in which judgment is awarded
in their favor or they are acquitted or in which they are acquitted or granted relief by
the Supreme Court of Bermuda in certain proceedings arising under Section 281 of the
Companies Act.
The Company may also advance moneys
to an officer or auditor for the costs, charges and expenses incurred by the officer or
auditor in defending any civil or criminal proceedings against them, on condition that the
officer or auditor shall repay the advance if any allegation of fraud or dishonesty is
proved against them.
The Company has adopted provisions in
its Bye-Laws that provide that the Company shall indemnify its officers and directors to

Item 9. 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:
(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 this registration statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
          not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change
          to such information in the registration statement;
provided,
however,
that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above
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
Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act 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; and
(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 Exchange Act and, where applicable, each filing of the
          Plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) under the Exchange Act,
          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 the 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 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe
that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly
authorized, in Atlanta, Georgia, on this 14 day of August, 2007.
