Bylaws and the Michigan Business Corporation Act permit the Registrant&#8217;s
officers and directors to be indemnified under certain circumstances for
expenses and in some instances, for judgments, fines or amounts paid in
settlement of civil, criminal, administrative and investigative suits or
proceedings, including those involving alleged violations of the 1933 Act. In
addition, the Registrant maintains directors&#8217; and officers&#8217; liability insurance
which, under certain circumstances, would cover alleged violation of the 1933
Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may
be permitted to officers and directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. Therefore in the event that a claim for such
indemnification is asserted by any officer or director, the Registrant (except
insofar as such claim seeks reimbursement by the Registrant of the expenses paid
or incurred by an officer or director in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) will, unless the matter has heretofore been adjudicated by
precedent deemed by the Registrant to be controlling, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not the indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.</DIV>

to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective

thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
in the information set forth in the 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 Registration Statement is on Form
S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 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 of 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the

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

Act 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 Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 of whether or not such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.</DIV>

Item 4.

Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and
Counsel
.
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and
Officers
.
The Registrant's
Bylaws and the Michigan Business Corporation Act permit the Registrant's
officers and directors to be indemnified under certain circumstances for
expenses and in some instances, for judgments, fines or amounts paid in
settlement of civil, criminal, administrative and investigative suits or
proceedings, including those involving alleged violations of the 1933 Act. In
addition, the Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance
which, under certain circumstances, would cover alleged violation of the 1933
Act. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933 Act may
be permitted to officers and directors pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the
Registrant has been informed that, in the opinion of the Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. Therefore in the event that a claim for such
indemnification is asserted by any officer or director, the Registrant (except
insofar as such claim seeks reimbursement by the Registrant of the expenses paid
or incurred by an officer or director in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) will, unless the matter has heretofore been adjudicated by
precedent deemed by the Registrant to be controlling, submit to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not the indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 9.
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:
(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act; (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; (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 Registration Statement is on Form
S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3 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 of 1934 Act that are incorporated by reference in the
registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the 1933 Act, 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.
2
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the 1933 Act, each filing of the Registrant's
annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act 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 1933
Act 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 Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 of whether or not such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
