<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Sections <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">561-571</FONT> of the Michigan Business Corporation Act (as it may be amended from time to time, the
&#147;MBCA&#148;), directors and officers of a Michigan corporation may be entitled to indemnification by the corporation against judgments, expenses, fines and amounts paid by the director or officer in settlement of claims brought against them by
third persons or by or in the right of the corporation if the statutory standard (defined below) is met. In particular, Section&nbsp;561 of the MBCA provides that a Michigan corporation has the power to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal, other than an action by or in the right of the corporation,
by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or
domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, judgments, penalties, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred
by him or her in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding (provided that generally the director did not (i)&nbsp;receive a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, (ii)&nbsp;intentionally inflict harm on the corporation or its
shareholders, (iii)&nbsp;violate Section&nbsp;551 of the MBCA relating to loans, dividends and distributions, or (iv)&nbsp;intentionally commit a criminal act, collectively, the &#147;statutory standard&#148;), and with respect to a criminal action
or proceeding, if the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, Section&nbsp;562 of the MBCA provides that a Michigan corporation has the power to indemnify a person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to a threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of
the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, whether for
profit or not, against expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action or suit if the statutory standard is met. The MBCA does not permit
indemnification for a claim, issue or matter in which the person has been found liable to the corporation unless application for indemnification is made to, and ordered by, the court conducting the proceeding or another court of competent
jurisdiction. Section&nbsp;563 of the MBCA provides that a director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of an action, suit or proceeding referred to in Sections 561 and 562 of the MBCA, or in defense of a claim,
issue, or matter in any such action, suit, or proceeding, shall be indemnified by the corporation against actual and reasonable expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees, incurred by him or her in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, and
any action, suit, or proceeding brought to enforce this mandatory indemnification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Articles of Incorporation of the Registrant so limits the liability
of directors. The Articles of Incorporation limit director liability for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability resulting from (i)&nbsp;the amount of a financial benefit received by a director to which he or she is not
entitled; (ii)&nbsp;intentional infliction of harm on the Registrant or the shareholders; (iii)&nbsp;a violation of Section&nbsp;551 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act; or (iv)&nbsp;an intentional criminal act. These provisions, however, do
not affect liability under the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The MBCA authorizes a corporation under specified circumstances to indemnify its directors and officers
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) for any action taken or any failure to take any action as a director or officer, except for liability for specified acts. The Registrants&#146; Bylaws also provide for indemnification of directors and
officers. The provisions of the Registrant&#146;s Bylaws relating to indemnification of directors and officers limit director, officer and employee liability to the fullest extent permitted by Michigan Law. The provisions of the MBCA are broad
enough to permit indemnification with respect to liabilities arising under the Securities Act and Michigan Uniform Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Registrant has
purchased a policy of directors&#146; and officers&#146; insurance that insures both the Registrant and its officers and directors against expenses and liabilities of the type normally insured against under such policies, including the expenses of
the indemnification described above and liabilities under the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:18pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>
