directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to the public policy, such as providing indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Article 41 of the
Registrant&#146;s fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that the Registrant may indemnify its directors and officers acting in relation to any of its affairs against any liability incurred or sustained by them in
connection with the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions in their capacities as such, except by reason of actual fraud or willful default. </P>

permitted by Cayman Islands law, its articles of association and other applicable law, from and against all expenses and liabilities arising from any proceeding to which the indemnitee is or was a party, except expenses and liabilities, if any,
brought about by the indemnitee&#146;s fraud or dishonesty. </P>

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. </P>

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. </P>
