## Section 1.1 ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of shareholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date, time and place either within or without the Marshall Islands as may be designated by the Board of Directors from time to time or as may be otherwise required by the articles of incorporation. Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.

##

## Section 1.2 SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, to be held at such date, time and place either within or without the Marshall Islands as may be stated in the notice of the meeting or as may be otherwise required by the articles of incorporation. The business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

##

## Section 1.3 NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by law, the written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, directed to the shareholder at such shareholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation.

##

## Section 1.4 ADJOURNMENTS. Any meeting of shareholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the meeting is adjourned for lack of quorum, notice of the new meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after an adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record on the new record date entitled to notice under Section 1.3 hereof.

##

## Section 1.5 QUORUM. At each meeting of shareholders, except where otherwise provided by law or the articles of incorporation or these By-laws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum; provided that in no event shall a quorum consist of fewer than one third of the shares entitled to vote at a meeting. In the absence of a quorum, the shareholders so present may, by

## majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to time in the manner provided by Section 1.4 hereof until a quorum shall attend. Shares of its own capital stock belonging on the record date for the meeting to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

##

## Section 1.6 ORGANIZATION. Meetings of shareholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if any, or in the absence of the Chairman of the Board by the President, or in the absence of the President by a Vice President, or in the absence of the foregoing persons by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or in the absence of such designation by a chairman chosen at the meeting. The Secretary, or in the absence of the Secretary an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in the absence of the Secretary and any Assistant Secretary the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

##

## Section 1.7 VOTING; PROXIES. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, each shareholder entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such shareholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. Each shareholder entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such shareholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in the law of the Marshall Islands to support an irrevocable power. A shareholder may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or another duly executed proxy bearing a later date with the Secretary of the Corporation. Voting at meetings of shareholders need not be by written ballot and need not be conducted by inspectors unless the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of all classes of stock entitled to vote thereon present in person or by proxy at such meeting shall so determine. At all meetings of shareholders for the election of directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect. With respect to other matters, unless otherwise provided by law or by the articles of incorporation, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of all classes of stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the shareholders. Where a separate vote by class is required, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of each class present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class, except as otherwise provided by law or by the articles of incorporation or these By-laws.

##

## Section 1.8 NOTICE OF NOMINATION. Nominations for the election of directors may be made by the Board of Directors or by any shareholder entitled to vote for the election of directors. Nominations by other than action of the Board of Directors shall be made by notice in proper written form pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof, delivered or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Secretary of the Corporation not less than one-hundred fifty (150) days nor more than one-hundred eighty (180) days prior to the first anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the

2

## annual meeting is changed by more than thirty (30) days from such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder will be considered timely if it is delivered not earlier than the 180th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 150th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Notice of nominations which are proposed by the Board of Directors shall be given by the Chairman of the Board.

##

## Section 1.9 FIXING DATE FOR DETERMINATION OF SHAREHOLDERS OF RECORD. In order that the Corporation may determine the shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payments of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than fifteen (15) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed: (a) the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is first given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (b) the record date for determining shareholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

##

## Section 1.10 ACTION BY UNANIMOUS WRITTEN CONSENT. Any action required to be taken or which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of shareholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by all of the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof.

##

## Section 1.11 NATURE OF BUSINESS AT ANNUAL MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.

###

### (d) No business shall be conducted at the annual meeting of shareholders except business brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.12 hereof, except that once business has been properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with such procedures, nothing in this Sections 1.11 or 1.12 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any shareholder of any such business.

###

## Section 1.12 PROPER WRITTEN FORM OF SHAREHOLDER’S NOTICE. (a) To be in proper written form pursuant to Sections 1.8 or 1.11 hereof, a shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation shall set forth in writing as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director, the name, age, and business address of each such person, the principal occupation or employment of such person, the number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are beneficially owned by such person, and all other information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required pursuant to Regulation 14A under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting, the text of the proposal or business (including the text of any resolutions proposed for consideration) and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, and in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend the articles of incorporation or the By-laws of the Corporation, the language of the proposed amendment; (iii) the name and address, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, of the shareholder proposing such business or nomination and the name and address of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is being made; (iv) the class or series and number of shares of the Corporation which are beneficially owned or owned of record by the shareholder proposing such business or nomination and name of the beneficial owner if different from the shareholder; (v) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any derivative or short positions, profit interests, options, warrants, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions, and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into as of the date of the shareholder’s notice by, or on behalf of, such shareholder and such beneficial owners, the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, such shareholder and such beneficial owner, with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation; (vi) any material interest of the shareholder in any such business; (vii) a representation that the shareholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at such annual meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at such meeting to propose such business; and (viii) if the shareholder intends to solicit proxies in support of such shareholder’s proposal, a representation to that effect. The foregoing notice requirements shall be deemed satisfied by a shareholder if the shareholder has notified the Corporation of his or her intention to make a nomination or present a proposal at an annual meeting and such shareholder’s nominee or proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by management of the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting; provided, however, that if such shareholder does not appear or send a qualified

4

## representative to present such nominee or proposal at such annual meeting, the Corporation need not present such nominee or proposal for a vote at such meeting notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 1.12, to be considered a qualified representative of the shareholder, a person must be authorized by a writing executed by such shareholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such shareholder to act for such shareholder as proxy at the meeting of shareholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of such writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of shareholders. The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as it may reasonably require to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director of the Corporation.

##

### (b) The Chairman of the meeting may, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that the business or nomination was not properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing procedures, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination or business shall be disregarded.

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of (or in a similar capacity in respect of) another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

##

### (b) The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of (or in a similar capacity in respect of) another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon

10

### application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

###

### (c) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.5, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.5, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against all costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or on his behalf in connection therewith.

###

### (d) Any indemnification under Sections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.5 (unless ordered by a court) shall be paid by the Corporation unless a determination is made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote or a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the shareholders, that indemnification of the director or officer is not proper in the circumstances because he had not met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.5.

###

### (e) For purposes of this Section 6.5, the term “Corporation” shall include any predecessor of the Corporation and any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed by the Corporation in a consolidation or merger.

The benefits of this Section 6.5 shall extend to the heirs and legal representatives of any person entitled to indemnification under this section.

###

### (f) The Corporation may indemnify any person, including any employee or agent of the Corporation, to whom the Corporation is permitted by applicable law to provide indemnification or the advancement of expenses, whether pursuant to rights granted pursuant to, or provided by, the Marshall Islands Business Corporations Act or other rights created by (i) a resolution of the shareholders, (ii) a resolution of directors or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, it being expressly intended that these By-laws authorize the creation of other rights in any such manner. The right to be indemnified and to the reimbursement or advancement of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition authorized by this Section 6.5 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, common law, provision of the articles of incorporation, By-laws, agreement, vote of shareholder or disinterested directors or otherwise.

###

### (g) The right to indemnification conferred by Sections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6.5 shall, and any indemnification extended under Section (f) of this Section 6.5 may, be

### retroactive to events occurring prior to the adoption of this Section 6.5 and shall continue to exist after the rescission or restrictive modification hereof with respect to events occurring prior thereto, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

###

### (h) Any person entitled to be indemnified as a matter of right pursuant to this provision may elect, to the extent permitted by law, to have the right to indemnification interpreted on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time of the occurrence of the event or events giving rise to the action or proceeding, or on the basis of the applicable law in effect at the time indemnification is sought. The right to be indemnified pursuant to this provision shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding (including investigations by any governmental or quasi-governmental agency and all costs, charges and expenses incurred in preparing for any threatened action, suit or proceeding) in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in his capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this provision. No security shall be required for such undertaking and such undertaking shall be accepted without reference to the recipient’s financial ability to make repayment. The repayment of such charges and expenses incurred by other employees and agents of the Corporation which are paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as permitted by this Section 6.5 may be required upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate. The Board of Directors may, in the manner set forth above, and subject to the approval of the person entitled to be indemnified authorize the Corporation’s counsel to represent such person, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether or not the Corporation is a party to such action, suit or proceeding.

###

### (i) Any indemnification under Sections (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6.5 or advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section (h) of this Section 6.5 shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the director or officer, directed to the Secretary of the Corporation. The right to indemnification or advances as granted by Section (h) of this Section 6.5 shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction if the Corporation denies such request, in whole or in part, or if no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. Such person’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification or advances, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the Corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for the advance of costs, charges and expenses under Section (h) of this Section 6.5 where the required undertaking, if any, has been received by the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct set forth in Sections (a) or (b) of this Section 6.5, but the burden of proving that such standard of conduct has not been met shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its shareholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Sections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.5, nor the fact that there has been an actual determination

12

### by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, its independent legal counsel and its shareholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

###

### (j) For purposes of this Section 6.5:

###

#### (i) “Fines” shall include any penalties and any excise or similar taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan;

####

#### (ii) A person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of any employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation” as referred to in Sections (a) and (b) of this Section 6.5;

####

#### (iii) Service as a partner, trustee or member of management or similar committee of a partnership or joint venture, or as a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation which is a partner, trustee or joint venturer, shall be considered service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

####

### (k) SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Section 6.5 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer of the Corporation as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and above expenses with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including an action by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.5 that shall not have been invalidated and to the full extent permitted by applicable law.

###

## Section 6.6 INTERESTED DIRECTORS; QUORUM. Except as the articles of incorporation may otherwise provide, no contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or her or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (a) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, or, if the votes of the disinterested directors are insufficient to constitute an act of the Board of Directors as defined in Section 55 of the BCA, by unanimous vote of the disinterested directors; or (b) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the shareholders; or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the

13

## shareholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

##

## Section 6.7 FORM OF RECORDS. Any records maintained by the Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger, books of account and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, magnetic tape, computer disks, photographs, microphotographs or any other information storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly legible form within a reasonable time. The Corporation shall so convert any records so kept upon the request of any person entitled to inspect the same.

##

## Section 6.8 AMENDMENT OF BY-LAWS. Except where otherwise specified in a specific By-law, these By-laws may be amended or repealed, and new By-laws adopted, by the vote of not less than a majority of the entire Board of Directors.

# ARTICLE VII
NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

#

## Section 7.1 NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to shareholders pursuant to the BCA, the articles of incorporation or these By-laws, any notice to shareholders given by the Corporation under any provision of the BCA, the articles of incorporation or these By-laws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the shareholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the shareholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

##

### (a) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the Corporation in accordance with such consent; and

###

### (b) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

###

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

### (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice;

###

### (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the shareholder has consented to receive notice;

###

### (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the shareholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

14

### (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the shareholder.

###

An affidavit of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the Corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

## Section 7.2 DEFINITION OF ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION. An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

##

## Section 7.3 INAPPLICABILITY. Notice by a form of electronic transmission shall not apply to Sections 37(4) or 101 of the BCA.
