The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant&#146;s
annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;13(a)&nbsp;or 15(d)&nbsp;of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan&#146;s annual report pursuant to Section&nbsp;15(d)&nbsp;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 <i>bona
fide</i> offering thereof.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:24.5pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">3.
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.</font></p>

Indemnification of
Directors and Officers
.
Article 8 of the North
Carolina Business Corporation Act permits indemnification of officers and
directors of the Company under certain conditions and subject to certain
limitations and further provides that a corporation has the power to purchase
and maintain insurance on behalf of its officers and directors against any
liability asserted against such person and incurred by him or her in such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as an officer or director,
whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her
against such liability under any other provisions of the Business Corporation
Act. In addition, expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any
civil, criminal, administrative or
3
investigative action, suit or proceeding by
reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the
Company shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of
such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf
of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized by the relevant section of the Business Corporation Act. The rights
to indemnity thereunder continue as to a person who has ceased to be a
director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors
and administrators of the person.
The Sixth Article of
the Articles of Incorporation of the Company provides that the Company shall
indemnify its directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted
by Business Corporation Act.
As permitted by Section 55-2-02
of the Business Corporation Act, the Seventh Article of the Company's
Articles of Incorporation provides that a director of the Company shall not be
personally liable for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for (i) acts or omissions not made in good faith that the
director at the time of breach knew or believed were in conflict with the best
interests of the Corporation; (ii) any liability under Section 55-8-33
of the Business Corporation Act (unlawful distributions); or (iii) any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit (which
does not include a director's compensation or other incidental benefit for or
on account of his service as a director, officer, employee, independent
contractor, attorney, or consultant of the Corporation).
The Registrant has an
insurance policy covering the directors and officers of the Registrant with
respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the
Securities Act or otherwise.

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 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
(A)    paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(2)(ii) of
this section 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 reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.
(b) 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.
(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 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.
3.
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.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
