Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
The Registrant's Articles provide that to the full extent that the VSCA permits the limitation or elimination of the liability of directors or officers, a director or officer of the Registrant will not be liable to the Registrant or its shareholders for monetary damages. The VSCA provides that the liability of a director or officer in a proceeding brought by or in the right of shareholders, or on behalf of shareholders, may be eliminated, except that the liability of a director or officer may not be eliminated if the director or officer engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or of any state or federal securities law, including any claim of unlawful insider trading or manipulation of the market for any security.
The Registrant's Articles provide that the Registrant shall indemnify a director or officer of the Registrant who is or was a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was such a director or officer or was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, and the board of directors of the Registrant may contract in advance to indemnify any director or officer. The VSCA provides that except as limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who entirely prevails in the defense of any proceeding to which he or she was a party because he or she is or was a director of the corporation against reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding. The VSCA further provides that a corporation may indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he or she is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if: (i) the director conducted himself or herself in good faith; (ii) he or she believed (a) in the case of conduct in his or her official capacity, that his or her conduct was in the best interests of the corporation and (b) in all
-2-
other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; provided, however, no indemnification may be made if: (x) the proceeding was by or in the right of the corporation and the director is adjudged liable to the corporation; or (y) in any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director, whether or not involving action in his or her official capacity, in which he director is adjudged liable to the corporation for the receipt of an improper personal benefit. The board of directors may also indemnify an employee or agent of the Registrant who was or is a party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was an employee or agent of the Registrant.
These provisions do not limit or eliminate the rights of the Registrant or any shareholder to seek an injunction or any other non-monetary relief in the event of a breach of a director's or officer's fiduciary duty. Furthermore, these provisions apply only to claims against a director or officer arising out of his or her role as a director or officer and do not relieve a director or officer from liability if he or she engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law or any federal or state securities law.
The Registrant has limited its exposure to liability for indemnification of directors and officers by purchasing director's and officer's liability insurance coverage. The rights of indemnification provided in the Registrant's Articles are not exclusive of any other rights that may be available under any insurance or other agreement, by vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

Item 9.
Undertakings
.
(a)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
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;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the 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 the registration statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in the volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculating of Filing Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and
-3-
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
Provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such 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)
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.
(b)
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.
(h)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
