bye-laws provides, among other things, that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers. Specifically, bye-law 55
provides that the Registrant&rsquo;s directors and officers, as well as their heirs, executors and administrators, shall, subject
to the Companies Act, 1981 of Bermuda (the &ldquo;Companies Act&rdquo;) prohibitions described below, be indemnified by the Registrant
from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or
administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their
duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts, and none of them shall be answerable for the acts, receipts,
neglects or defaults of the others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or any bankers or other persons
with whom any moneys or effect belonging to the Registrant shall or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency
or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Registrant shall be placed out on or invested, or for
any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto.
The Registrant is not required, however, to indemnify any person for the fraud or willful misconduct of such person.</P>

bye-laws also provides that, except with respect to matters involving fraud or willful misconduct of the Registrant&rsquo;s directors
and officers, each shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action it might have, whether individually or by or in the
right of the Registrant, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure
of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Registrant.</P>

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 Registrant. 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.</P>

including actions by the Registrant or in the Registrant&rsquo;s right, arising out of such person&rsquo;s services as the Registrant&rsquo;s

Item 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Bye-law 55 of the Registrant's
bye-laws provides, among other things, that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers. Specifically, bye-law 55
provides that the Registrant's directors and officers, as well as their heirs, executors and administrators, shall, subject
to the Companies Act, 1981 of Bermuda (the "Companies Act") prohibitions described below, be indemnified by the Registrant
from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them, their heirs, executors or
administrators, shall or may incur or sustain by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their
duty, or supposed duty, or in their respective offices or trusts, and none of them shall be answerable for the acts, receipts,
neglects or defaults of the others of them or for joining in any receipts for the sake of conformity, or any bankers or other persons
with whom any moneys or effect belonging to the Registrant shall or may be lodged or deposited for safe custody, or for insufficiency
or deficiency of any security upon which any moneys of or belonging to the Registrant shall be placed out on or invested, or for
any other loss, misfortune or damage which may happen in the execution of their respective offices or trusts, or in relation thereto.
The Registrant is not required, however, to indemnify any person for the fraud or willful misconduct of such person.
Bye-law 55 of the Registrant's
bye-laws also provides that, except with respect to matters involving fraud or willful misconduct of the Registrant's directors
and officers, each shareholder agrees to waive any claim or right of action it might have, whether individually or by or in the
right of the Registrant, against any director or officer on account of any action taken by such director or officer, or the failure
of such director or officer to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Registrant.
Section 98 of 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 Registrant. 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 Registrant has
entered into indemnification agreements to indemnify its directors and executive officers. These agreements provide for indemnification
of the Registrant's directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Bermuda law against all
expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any such person in actions or proceedings,
including actions by the Registrant or in the Registrant's right, arising out of such person's services as the Registrant's
director or executive officer, any of the Registrant's subsidiaries or any other company or enterprise to which the person
provided services at the Registrant's request.
The Registrant maintains directors'
and officers' liability insurance coverage.

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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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. 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 and 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 this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this 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 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, 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, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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 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 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 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
