Since we are

incorporated in the

Marshall Islands, which

does not have a

well-developed body of

corporate law, you

may have more difficulty

protecting your interests than

shareholders of a U. S.

corporation.

Our corporate affairs are governed by our amended and restated articles of incorporation and bylaws and

by

the

Marshall

Islands

Business

Corporations

Act,

or

the

BCA.

The

provisions

of

the

BCA

resemble

provisions of the

corporation laws of

a number of

states in the

United States. However,

there have been

few judicial cases in the

Marshall Islands interpreting the BCA.

The rights and fiduciary responsibilities

of

directors under the

laws of the

Marshall Islands are

not as clearly

established as the

rights and fiduciary

responsibilities of

directors under statutes

or judicial

precedent in existence

in the United
