</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Michigan Business Corporation Act
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company is organized under the Michigan Business Corporation Act (the &#147;MBCA&#148;) 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&#146;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.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MBCA also empowers Michigan corporations to provide similar indemnity to such a person for
expenses, including attorney&#146;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.
If a person is successful in defending against a derivative action or third-party action, the MBCA
requires that a Michigan corporation indemnify the person against expenses incurred in the action.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MBCA 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&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The MBCA further permits Michigan corporations to limit the personal liability of directors
for a breach of their fiduciary duty. However, the MBCA does not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director for any of the following: (i)&nbsp;the amount of a financial benefit received by a
director to which he or she is not entitled; (ii)&nbsp;intentional infliction of harm on the corporation
or the shareholders; (iii)&nbsp;a violation of Section&nbsp;551 of the MBCA relating to unlawful
distributions; or (iv)&nbsp;an intentional criminal act. If a Michigan corporation adopts such a

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">



<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">provision, then the Michigan corporation may indemnify its directors without a determination
that they have met the applicable standards for indemnification set forth above, except, in the
case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, only against expenses incurred in
the action. The foregoing does not apply if the director&#146;s actions fall into one of the exceptions
to the limitation on personal liability discussed above, unless a court determines that the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all relevant circumstances.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Registrant
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation, which limit liability to the maximum extent
permitted by law, provide that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the director&#146;s fiduciary duty. As a
result of the inclusion of such provision, shareholders of the Company may be unable to recover
monetary damages against directors for actions taken by them which constitute negligence or which
are in violation of their fiduciary duties, although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or
other equitable relief with respect to such actions.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws generally require the Company to indemnify officers
and directors to the fullest extent legally possible under the MBCA. In addition, the Amended and
Restated Bylaws require the Company to indemnify any person who is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
other enterprise, to the same degree as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
The Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide for the advancement of litigation
expenses at the request of a director or officer under certain circumstances. Directors and
officers are entitled to bring suit against the Company for failure to make a requested
indemnification and the Company has the burden of proof to show such indemnification to be
improper.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)&nbsp;To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii)&nbsp;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 to 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

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

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
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.

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 MBCA 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.
If a person is successful in defending against a derivative action or third-party action, the MBCA
requires that a Michigan corporation indemnify the person against expenses incurred in the action.
The MBCA 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.
The MBCA further permits Michigan corporations to limit the personal liability of directors
for a breach of their fiduciary duty. However, the MBCA does not eliminate or limit the liability
of a director for any of the following: (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 the shareholders; (iii) a violation of Section 551 of the MBCA relating to unlawful
distributions; or (iv) an intentional criminal act. If a Michigan corporation adopts such a
provision, then the Michigan corporation may indemnify its directors without a determination
that they have met the applicable standards for indemnification set forth above, except, in the
case of an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation, only against expenses incurred in
the action. The foregoing does not apply if the director's actions fall into one of the exceptions
to the limitation on personal liability discussed above, unless a court determines that the person
is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all relevant circumstances.
Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Registrant
The Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation, which limit liability to the maximum extent
permitted by law, provide that a director of the Company shall not be personally liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of the director's fiduciary duty. As a
result of the inclusion of such provision, shareholders of the Company may be unable to recover
monetary damages against directors for actions taken by them which constitute negligence or which
are in violation of their fiduciary duties, although it may be possible to obtain injunctive or
other equitable relief with respect to such actions.
The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws generally require the Company to indemnify officers
and directors to the fullest extent legally possible under the MBCA. In addition, the Amended and
Restated Bylaws require the Company to indemnify any person who is or was serving at the request of
the Company as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or
other enterprise, to the same degree as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers.
The Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws further provide for the advancement of litigation
expenses at the request of a director or officer under certain circumstances. Directors and
officers are entitled to bring suit against the Company for failure to make a requested
indemnification and the Company has the burden of proof to show such indemnification to be
improper.

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 of 1933;
(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 to 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) if, in the aggregate, the
change in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate
offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
Registration Statement;
(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 the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do
not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-8, and the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act
of 1933 to any purchase in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Registrant
undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this
Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the
purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any
of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser
and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectuses of the undersigned Registrant relating to the
offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of
the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
Registrant to the purchaser.
(b) 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) of 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.
(c) 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 advised 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.
