<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.</b></p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Maine Business Corporation
Act, Title 13-C M.R.S.A. Section 101, et seq. (the &quot;MBCA&quot;), permits a
corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to any of its directors and officers who was
or is a party to a proceeding because that person is or was a director or officer of the
corporation and if the following criteria are met: (i) the individual&#146;s conduct was
in good faith; (ii) the individual reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in the
individual&#146;s official capacity that such conduct was in the best interests of the
corporation, and (b) in all other cases, that the individual&#146;s conduct was at least
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of a criminal
proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual&#146;s
conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporation has no power to
indemnify a director or officer unless it has made a determination that the person has met
the relevant standard of conduct set forth above.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As permitted by the MBCA, the
bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and
officers, including the advancement of expenses. In addition, the bylaws contain the
procedures pursuant to which such indemnification is effectuated.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; As permitted by the MBCA, the
Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance in amounts and on terms
which the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors deems reasonable. In the ordinary course of
business, the Registrant&#146;s Board of Directors regularly reviews the scope and
adequacy of such insurance coverage.</p>

hereby undertakes:</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:</p>

<blockquote>
  <blockquote>
    <p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;
    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    (i) To include any prospectuses required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of
    1933; </p>
    <p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    (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 twenty percent (20%) change in the maximum aggregate offering
    price set forth in the &quot;Calculation of Registration Fee&quot; table in the effective
    registration statement; and</p>
    <p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
    (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.</p>
  </blockquote>
</blockquote>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Provided however, That:
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) herein do not apply if 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (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.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">&nbsp;(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, or purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
Registrant&#146;s Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 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.</p>

<p ALIGN="LEFT">(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 Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.</p>

Not Applicable
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Maine Business Corporation
Act, Title 13-C M.R.S.A. Section 101, et seq. (the "MBCA"), permits a
corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to any of its directors and officers who was
or is a party to a proceeding because that person is or was a director or officer of the
corporation and if the following criteria are met: (i) the individual's conduct was
in good faith; (ii) the individual reasonably believed (a) in the case of conduct in the
individual's official capacity that such conduct was in the best interests of the
corporation, and (b) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least
not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of a criminal
proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's
conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a corporation has no power to
indemnify a director or officer unless it has made a determination that the person has met
the relevant standard of conduct set forth above.
As permitted by the MBCA, the
bylaws of the Registrant provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and
officers, including the advancement of expenses. In addition, the bylaws contain the
procedures pursuant to which such indemnification is effectuated.
As permitted by the MBCA, the
Registrant maintains directors and officers liability insurance in amounts and on terms
which the Registrant's Board of Directors deems reasonable. In the ordinary course of
business, the Registrant's Board of Directors regularly reviews the scope and
adequacy of such insurance coverage.

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 prospectuses 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 twenty percent (20%) change in the maximum aggregate offering
    price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
    registration statement; and
(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) herein do not apply if 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 Exchange Act 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; 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.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, or 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 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 Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Pursuant to the requirements of
the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to

behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the Town of Bar Harbor, State of
