      Carolina law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
      employees or agents under either or both a statutory or non-statutory scheme
      of
      indemnification. Under the statutory scheme, a corporation may, with certain
      exceptions, indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
      who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
      completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
      administrative or investigative, because of the fact that such person was a
      director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
      at
      the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
      another corporation or enterprise. This indemnity may include the obligation
      to
      pay any judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed
      with respect to an employee benefit plan) and reasonable expenses incurred
      in
      connection with the proceeding (including counsel fees), but no such
      indemnification may be granted unless such director, officer, agent or employee
      (1) conducted himself in good faith, (2) reasonably believed (a) that any action
      taken in his official capacity with the corporation was in the best interest
      of
      the corporation or (b) that in all other cases his conduct at least was not
      opposed to the corporation's best interest, and (3) in the case of any criminal
      proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Whether
      a director has met the requisite standard of conduct for the type of
      indemnification set forth above is determined by the corporation's board of
      directors, a committee of directors, special legal counsel or the stockholders
      in accordance with the statute. A corporation may not indemnify a director
      under
      the statutory scheme in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
      the
      corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or
      in
      connection with a proceeding in which a director was adjudged liable on the
      basis of having received an improper personal benefit.</font></div>

      addition to, and separate and apart from the indemnification described above
      under the statutory scheme, North Carolina law permits a corporation to
      indemnify or agree to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or
      agents against liability and expenses (including attorneys fees) in any
      proceeding (including proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation)
      arising out of their status as such or their activities in such capacities,
      except for any liabilities or expenses incurred on account of activities that
      were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in
      conflict with the best interests of the corporation. The Registrant's bylaws
      provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under North Carolina
      law for persons who serve as directors or officers of the Registrant or at
      the
      request of the Registrant serve as an officer, director, agent, partner,
      trustee, administrator or employee for any other foreign or domestic entity.
      Accordingly, the Registrant may indemnify its directors, officers, and employees
      in accordance with either the statutory or non-statutory standard.</font></div>

      addition, North Carolina law requires a corporation, unless its articles of
      incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or officer who has
      been
      wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
      to which such director or officer was a party. Unless prohibited by the Articles
      of Incorporation, a director or officer also may make application and obtain
      court-ordered indemnification if the court determines that such director or
      officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to such
      indemnification.</font></div><br>

      permitted by North Carolina law, the Registrant&#8217;s Articles limit the personal
      liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of duty as a director
      whether by or in the right of the Registrant or otherwise, provided that such
      limitation will not apply to (1) acts or omissions that the director at the
      time
      of the breach knew or believed were clearly in conflict with the Registrant's
      best interests, (2) any liability for unlawful distributions under North
      Carolina law, (3) any transaction from which the director derived an improper
      personal benefit or (4) acts or omissions occurring prior to the date the
      provision became effective. In addition, the Registrant&#8217;s Articles also provide
      that the Registrant&#8217;s board of directors shall have the authority to adopt

      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

ITEM
      6.
      INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
North
      Carolina law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
      employees or agents under either or both a statutory or non-statutory scheme
      of
      indemnification. Under the statutory scheme, a corporation may, with certain
      exceptions, indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation
      who was or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
      completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
      administrative or investigative, because of the fact that such person was a
      director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving
      at
      the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
      another corporation or enterprise. This indemnity may include the obligation
      to
      pay any judgment, settlement, penalty, fine (including an excise tax assessed
      with respect to an employee benefit plan) and reasonable expenses incurred
      in
      connection with the proceeding (including counsel fees), but no such
      indemnification may be granted unless such director, officer, agent or employee
      (1) conducted himself in good faith, (2) reasonably believed (a) that any action
      taken in his official capacity with the corporation was in the best interest
      of
      the corporation or (b) that in all other cases his conduct at least was not
      opposed to the corporation's best interest, and (3) in the case of any criminal
      proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Whether
      a director has met the requisite standard of conduct for the type of
      indemnification set forth above is determined by the corporation's board of
      directors, a committee of directors, special legal counsel or the stockholders
      in accordance with the statute. A corporation may not indemnify a director
      under
      the statutory scheme in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of
      the
      corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or
      in
      connection with a proceeding in which a director was adjudged liable on the
      basis of having received an improper personal benefit.
In
      addition to, and separate and apart from the indemnification described above
      under the statutory scheme, North Carolina law permits a corporation to
      indemnify or agree to indemnify any of its directors, officers, employees or
      agents against liability and expenses (including attorneys fees) in any
      proceeding (including proceedings brought by or on behalf of the corporation)
      arising out of their status as such or their activities in such capacities,
      except for any liabilities or expenses incurred on account of activities that
      were, at the time taken, known or believed by the person to be clearly in
      conflict with the best interests of the corporation. The Registrant's bylaws
      provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under North Carolina
      law for persons who serve as directors or officers of the Registrant or at
      the
      request of the Registrant serve as an officer, director, agent, partner,
      trustee, administrator or employee for any other foreign or domestic entity.
      Accordingly, the Registrant may indemnify its directors, officers, and employees
      in accordance with either the statutory or non-statutory standard.
In
      addition, North Carolina law requires a corporation, unless its articles of
      incorporation provide otherwise, to indemnify a director or officer who has
      been
      wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
      to which such director or officer was a party. Unless prohibited by the Articles
      of Incorporation, a director or officer also may make application and obtain
      court-ordered indemnification if the court determines that such director or
      officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to such
      indemnification.
PAGE
      3
Finally,
      North Carolina law provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain
      insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director, officer, employee
      or agent to the corporation against certain liabilities incurred by such
      persons, whether or not the corporation is otherwise authorized under North
      Carolina law to indemnify such party. The Registrant currently maintains
      directors' and officers' insurance policies covering its directors and
      officers.
As
      permitted by North Carolina law, the Registrant's Articles limit the personal
      liability of directors for monetary damages for breaches of duty as a director
      whether by or in the right of the Registrant or otherwise, provided that such
      limitation will not apply to (1) acts or omissions that the director at the
      time
      of the breach knew or believed were clearly in conflict with the Registrant's
      best interests, (2) any liability for unlawful distributions under North
      Carolina law, (3) any transaction from which the director derived an improper
      personal benefit or (4) acts or omissions occurring prior to the date the
      provision became effective. In addition, the Registrant's Articles also provide
      that the Registrant's board of directors shall have the authority to adopt
      resolutions approving the indemnification, to the fullest extent provided under
      North Carolina law, of any person made a party to any action or proceeding,
      whether civil, criminal or administrative, by reason of the fact that such
      person was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the
      Registrant.

      UNDERTAKINGS
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 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.

(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; and
(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.
The
      undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
      any
      liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's
      annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 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.
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.
