Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the
Registration Statement, provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii)
do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8,

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 whether such indemnification by it
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and will be
