Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

   Sections 561-571 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act, as amended, grant
us broad powers to indemnify any person in connection with legal proceedings
brought against that person by reason of their present or past status as an
officer or director of our Company, provided that the person acted in good
faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our
best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The Michigan Business
Corporation Act also gives us broad powers to indemnify defined persons against
expenses and reasonable settlement payments in connection with any action by or
in the right of our Company, provided the person acted in good faith and in a
manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests,
except that no indemnification may be made if that person is adjudged to be
liable to us unless and only to the extent the court in which that action was
brought determines upon application that, despite the adjudication, but in view
of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for reasonable expenses as the court deems proper. In
addition, to the extent that any specified person is successful in the defense
of any defined legal proceeding, we are required by the Michigan Business
Corporation Act to indemnify him against expenses, including attorneys' fees,
that are actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

   Our articles of incorporation contain provisions entitling our directors and
executive officers to indemnification against specified liabilities and
expenses to the full extent permitted by Michigan law.

   Under an insurance policy maintained by us, our directors and officers are
insured within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policy, against
specified expenses in connection with the defense of specified claims, actions,
suits or proceedings, and specified liabilities which might be imposed as a
result of claims, actions, suits or proceedings, which may be brought against
them by reason of being or having been directors and officers of our Company.

                                      II-1


Item 16. Exhibits.

   Reference is made to the Exhibit Index which appears at page II-4 of this
Registration Statement.

Item 17. Undertakings.

   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant of the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we
have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission this indemnification is against the public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against these liabilities (other than the payment
by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of our Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the
opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether the
indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of the issue.

   We hereby undertake that: For purposes of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of
prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule
430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by us pursuant to Rule
424(b)(1) or (4) or Rule 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be
deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was
declared effective; and for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of these securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. We hereby
undertake that we will provide to the underwriter, Dain Rauscher Wessels, at
the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in the
denominations and registered in the names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to the purchaser.
