Special Considerations for Exempted Companies.We are an exempted company with limited liability under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:

| ● | an                                                                                             
 exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar 
 of Companies;                                                                                  |

| ● | an                                                                
 exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection; |

| ● | an                                                                
 exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting; |

| ● | an                                                   
 exempted company may issue shares with no par value; |

| ● | an                                                                                       
 exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation 
 (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);                |

| ● | an                                                                                               
 exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered 
 in the Cayman Islands;                                                                           |

| ● | an                                                                                       
 exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and an exempted company may 
 register as a segregated portfolio company.                                              |

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on the shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).
