<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Registrant is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, which generally
empowers Michigan corporations to indemnify a person that is a party, or threatened to be
made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding, whether formal or informal (other than actions 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 of another enterprise serving at such
corporation&#146;s request, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner in which he or she 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, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful. </FONT></P>



<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para Large Indent Lv 0-TNR" FSL="Project" -->
<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
a derivative action (an action brought by or in the right of the corporation), the
Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that indemnification may be made for expenses,
including attorneys&#146; fees and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by the director, officer, employee or agent in connection with the action or suit
only if such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders; except that no indemnification is available if such person has been found
liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the
action or suit was brought determines upon application that the defendant director or
officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. If a director or officer is
successful in defending a derivative action, the Michigan Business Corporation Act
requires that a Michigan corporation indemnify such director or officer against any
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the action. </FONT></P>

personal liability of directors, except liability for (i) the amount of a financial
benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii) intentional
infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii) a violation of Section
551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, which pertains to unlawful payments of

undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining           any

report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act           (and,

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

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;          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.  </FONT></P>

Item 3.     Incorporation of Documents
by Reference.
The

"Registrant") with the Commission and are incorporated herein by reference.
(a)                 The
Registrant's prospectus dated February 14, 2005 filed pursuant to Rule
          424(b) pursuant to the Securities Act.

Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended           December
31, 2004, filed pursuant to Rule 15(d)-2 of the Securities Exchange Act           of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
(c)                 The
description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth in the           Registration
Statement Form 8-A12B, filed with the Commission pursuant to           Section 12 of the
Exchange Act on January 4, 2005, and any amendments or reports           filed for the
purpose of updating such description.
(d)                 The
Registrant's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March           31,
2005 and filed with the Commission on May 13, 2005.
(e)                 The
Registrant's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on  May 13, 2005 and         July 22, 2005.
All
documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and
15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of filing of this Registration Statement and
prior to such time as the Registrant files a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing
of such documents. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed
incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superceded for the
purpose of this registration statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or
in any subsequently filed document which is also, or is deemed to be, incorporated herein
by reference modifies or supercedes such statement. Any such statement so modified or
superceded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superceded, to constitute a part
of this registration statement.
Item 4.     Description of
Securities.
Not
applicable.
Item 5.     Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
Not
applicable.
Item 6.     Indemnification
of Directors and Officers.
The
Registrant is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act, which generally
empowers Michigan corporations to indemnify a person that is a party, or threatened to be
made a party, to any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or
proceeding, whether formal or informal (other than actions 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 of another enterprise serving at such
corporation's request, against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith if such person acted
in good faith and in a manner in which he or she 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, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her
conduct was unlawful.
In
a derivative action (an action brought by or in the right of the corporation), the
Michigan Business Corporation Act provides that indemnification may be made for expenses,
including attorneys' fees and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by the director, officer, employee or agent in connection with the action or suit
only if such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation or its
shareholders; except that no indemnification is available if such person has been found
liable to the corporation unless, and only to the extent that, the court in which the
action or suit was brought determines upon application that the defendant director or
officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. If a director or officer is
successful in defending a derivative action, the Michigan Business Corporation Act
requires that a Michigan corporation indemnify such director or officer against any
expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the action.
The
Michigan Business Corporation Act permits Michigan corporations to eliminate or limit the
personal liability of directors, except liability for (i) the amount of a financial
benefit received by a director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii) intentional
infliction of harm on the corporation or its shareholders; (iii) a violation of Section
551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, which pertains to unlawful payments of
dividends, stock purchases or redemptions; and (iv) an intentional criminal act.
The
Registrant has adopted provisions in our Amended and Restated Bylaws that provide for
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. In addition, the
Registrant will maintain directors and officers liability insurance coverage for our
directors and officers that will provide for damages, judgments, settlements, defense
costs, charges and expenses incurred by reason of any actual or alleged breach of duty,
error, misstatement, misleading statement or omission done or made in their capacities as
directors and/or officers of the Registrant.
Item 7.     Exemption from

Item 9.     Undertakings.
(1)                 The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)                 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 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.
Notwithstanding the           foregoing, any increase or decrease in 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) of the Securities Act, if, in
the aggregate,           the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the           maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of           Registration Fee" table 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.
(b)                 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 herein, and the offering of such
          securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.
(c)                 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.
2.                 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 herein, and the
offering of such           securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering           thereof.
3.                 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.
