persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some statements incorporated by reference in this Prospectus constitute
forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the
Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. These
statements are subject to certain factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
These factors are discussed in and are incorporated by reference to our most

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The 140,000 shares of Common Stock being offered by this Prospectus are
being offered by certain shareholders of the Company listed under "Selling
Shareholders" ( the "Selling Shareholders"). These shares have been issued to
the Selling Shareholders pursuant to certain Nonqualified Stock Option
Agreements.
The shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Shareholders may be sold
from time to time on the New York Stock Exchange or in the over-the-counter
market or shares may be offered in independent transactions, in negotiated
transactions or otherwise. In addition, the shares of Common Stock may be sold
in transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
4
Table of Contents
Act of 1933, in which case any shares sold pursuant to Rule 144 may be
deemed to be registered securities. The Selling Shareholders may also sell
some or all of the shares in transactions involving broker-dealers who may
acquire shares as principal. Sales will be in the quantities, at the time, and
through registered broker-dealers to be determined from time to time by each
Selling Shareholder. No arrangements for any broker-dealer to act on behalf of
the Selling Shareholders have yet been made. It is anticipated that any
selling broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders will receive only
their customary brokerage commissions. Participating broker-dealers may be
deemed underwriters of the shares within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, in which event all such compensation to be received by them may be deemed
underwriting compensation.
Sales of the shares of the Common Stock offered by the Selling
Shareholders will be made at prices per share approximating market prices
prevailing at the time of the sales. The Company will not receive any of the
proceeds of the sales. Any brokerage commissions due to any broker engaged by
any Selling Shareholder, and any expenses incurred by any Selling Shareholder
in connection with the offering made hereby, will be borne by the Selling
Shareholder. The Company is bearing the legal and accounting expense incurred
in the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement of which this
Prospectus is a part and the filing fee there under.

Table of Contents
Michigan Business Corporation Act
The Company is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the
"Michigan Act") which, in general, empowers Michigan corporations to indemnify
a person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a
threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal, other
than an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact
that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a
director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another enterprise,
against expenses, including attorney's fees, judgments, penalties, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection
therewith if the person acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed
to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders and, with respect to a criminal action or proceeding, if the
person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
The Michigan Act also empowers Michigan corporations to provide similar
indemnity to such a person for expenses, including attorney's fees, and amounts
paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection
with actions or suits by or in the right of the corporation if the person acted
in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the interests of the corporation or its shareholders, except in
respect of any claim, issue or matter in which the person has been found liable
to the corporation, unless the court determines that the person is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all relevant circumstances,
in which case indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred.
The Michigan Act also permits a Michigan corporation to purchase and
maintain on behalf of such a person insurance against liabilities incurred in
such capacities. The Company has obtained a policy of directors' and officers'
liability insurance.
Bylaws of the Registrant
The Company's Bylaws generally require the Registrant to indemnify
officers and directors to the fullest extent legally possible under the
Michigan Act and provide that similar indemnification may be afforded employees
and agents.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(1)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file, during any
period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to
this registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
9
Table of Contents
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof which, individually or in the aggregate,
represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this
registration statement;
(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any
material change to such information in this registration statement;
provided, however, that the undertakings in clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) will not
apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in this registration statement.
(2)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from
registration by means of a post effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purpose of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) or the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall
be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(5)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
