 to such office or trust notwithstanding any defect in such appointment or election provided that the indemnity contained in Bye-Law 145 shall not extend to any matter which would render it void under the Companies Act.

Bye-Law 149 of the Registrant’s bye-laws provides that each shareholder and the Registrant agree to waive any claim or right of action he or it may at any time have, whether individually or by or in the right of the Registrant, against any Indemnified Person on account of any action taken by such Indemnified Person or the failure of such Indemnified Person to take any action in the performance of his duties with or for the Registrant. Such waiver shall not apply to any claims or rights of action arising out of the fraud of such Indemnified Person or to recover any gain, personal profit or advantage to which such Indemnified Person is not legally entitled.

The Companies Act provides that a Bermuda company may in its bye-laws or in any contract or arrangement between the company and any officer (including a director) exempt such officer or person from, or indemnify him or her in respect of, any loss arising or liability attaching to them as a result of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which they may be guilty in relation to the company or any subsidiary thereof. However, the Companies Act also provides that any provision, whether contained in the company’s bye-laws or in a contract or arrangement between the Registrant and the officer, indemnifying such officer against any liability which would attach to him in respect of his fraud or dishonesty in relation to the company will be void.

Section 98A of the Companies Act permits us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any officer or director in respect of any loss or liability attaching to him in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust, whether or not we may otherwise indemnify such officer or director. The Registrant has purchased and maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability policy for such purpose. The Registrant has also entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers.
