<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.5in; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">Cayman Islands law does not
limit the extent to which a company&rsquo;s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of directors and executive
officers, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to
provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, actual fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our memorandum
and articles of association provide for indemnification of our directors and executive officers to the maximum extent permitted by law,
including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful neglect or willful default.
We entered into agreements with our directors and executive officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification
provided for in the our memorandum and articles of association. We have also purchased a policy of directors&rsquo; and executive officers&rsquo;
liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances
and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our directors and executive officers.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; text-indent: 0.5in; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify">Our indemnification obligations
may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing
the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise
benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder&rsquo;s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs
of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.</P>

the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.</P>
