      indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act

      against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company 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 Company 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 such indemnification by it is against
      public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by a
