      requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or director in the defense of

      Indemnification under the BCA generally shall be made by the corporation only
      upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer was proper
      under the circumstances because he met the applicable standard of conduct.
      Such
      determination may be made by (i)&#160;the Board of Directors by a majority vote
      of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding,
      (ii)&#160;if such a quorum is not obtainable, by majority vote of a committee

Item
      6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Registrant
      is incorporated under the laws of the State of North Carolina. North Carolina's
      Business Corporation Act (the "BCA") contains provisions prescribing the extent
      to which directors and officers of a corporation shall or may be
      indemnified.
The
      BCA
      permits a corporation, with certain exceptions, to indemnify a current or former
      officer or director against liability if he acted in good faith and he
      reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his official capacity
      with the corporation, that his conduct was in its best interests, (ii) in
      all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to its best interests
      and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
      reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
A
      corporation may not indemnify him in connection with a proceeding by or in
      the
      right of the corporation in which he was adjudged liable to the corporation
      or
      in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit
      to
      him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he
      as
      adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received
      by
      him unless and
2
only
      to
      the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
      determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability, but
      in
      view of all the circumstances of the case, he is fairly and reasonably entitled
      to indemnity for such reasonable expenses incurred which the court shall deem
      proper.
The
      BCA
      requires a corporation to indemnify an officer or director in the defense of
      any
      proceeding to which he was a party against reasonable expenses to the extent
      that he is wholly successful on the merits or otherwise in his defense.
      Indemnification under the BCA generally shall be made by the corporation only
      upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer was proper
      under the circumstances because he met the applicable standard of conduct.
      Such
      determination may be made by (i) the Board of Directors by a majority vote
      of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to such proceeding,
      (ii) if such a quorum is not obtainable, by majority vote of a committee
      duly designated by the Board of Directors consisting solely of two or more
      directors not at the time party to such proceeding; (iii) if such quorum is
      not obtainable, or, even if obtainable if a quorum of disinterested directors
      so
      directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iv) by the
      stockholders of the corporation.
The
      BCA
      permits a corporation to provide for indemnification of directors and officers
      in its Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or by contract or otherwise, against
      liability in various proceedings, and to purchase and maintain insurance
      policies on behalf of these individuals. The Articles of Incorporation of the
      Registrant provide for the elimination of the personal liability for monetary
      damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty and the Bylaws of the Registrant
      provide for the indemnification of directors and officers to the maximum extent
      permitted by North Carolina law.

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 in the information set forth in the 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 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 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 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 periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant
      to
      Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
      that are incorporated by reference 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.
(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 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 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.
