Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
The validity of the securities registered hereby has been passed upon for the Registrant by Maples & Calder.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Subject to the provisions of the BVI Companies Act, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Registrant provides that the Registrant may indemnify against all expenses, including legal fees, and against all judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement and reasonably incurred in connection with legal, administrative or investigative proceedings any person who:
(a) is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director of the Registrant; or
(b) is or was, at the request of the Registrant, serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another company or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.
Pursuant to the BVI Companies Act, the indemnity applies only to a person who has acted honestly and in good faith and in what he believed to be the best interests of the Registrant and, in the case of criminal proceedings, provided the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The Registrant shall not indemnify a person who has not so acted, and any indemnity given to such a person is void and of no effect.
The termination of any proceedings by any judgement, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the person did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Registrant or that the person had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
Expenses, including legal fees, incurred by a former director in defending any legal, administrative or investigative proceedings may be paid by the Registrant in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the former director to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the former director is not entitled to be indemnified by the Registrant in accordance with the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and upon such other terms and conditions, if any, as the Registrant deems appropriate.
The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is not exclusive of any other rights to which the person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any agreement, resolution of members, resolution of disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to acting in the person’s official capacity and as to acting in another capacity while serving as a director of the Registrant.
The Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance in relation to any person who is or was a director of the Registrant, or who at the request of the Registrant is or was serving as a director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another body corporate or a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by the person in that capacity, whether or not the Registrant has or would have had the power to indemnify the person against the liability under the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.
In addition, the Registrant may maintain standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and to the Registrant with respect to payments which may be made by the Registrant to such directors and officers pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.
