Under sections 55-8-51 through 55-8-58 of the General Statutes of North Carolina, the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), and the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws (the "Bylaws"), the Company has broad powers to indemnify directors and officers against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities.

If the NCBCA or other applicable law is amended after approval by the shareholders of this Article to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of Directors, then the liability of a Director of the corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the NCBCA or other applicable law as so amended. Any repeal or modification of this Article by the shareholders of the corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification." Pursuant to the North Carolina General Statutes noted above, Article VIII of the Bylaws provides the following: "SECTION 1. MANNER OF INDEMNIFICATION Any person who at any time serves or has served as a director of the corporation, or who, while serving as a director of the corporation, serves or has served, at the request of the corporation, as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, or as a trustee or administrator under an employee benefit plan, shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement. The director shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement from the corporation, and the corporation shall be bound and obligated to provide such indemnification or reimbursement to the director, to the fullest extent permitted by law, whether or not a director is "wholly successful" in the defense of any proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director of the corporation. Indemnification or reimbursement shall be for (a) any expenses, including attorneys' fees, or any liabilities which he may incur or may have incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (and any appeal whether or not brought by or on behalf of the corporation, seeking to hold him liable by reason of the fact that he is or was acting in such capacity, and (b) payments made by him in satisfaction of any judgment, money decree, fine (including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan), penalty or settlement for which he may have become liable in any such action, suit or proceeding. Expenses incurred by a director in defending any such action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay such amount unless it shall -3- 4 ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the corporation against such expenses. The Board of Directors of the corporation shall take all such action as may be necessary and appropriate to authorize the corporation to pay the indemnification or reimbursement required by this bylaw, including, without limitation, to the extent needed, making a determination that indemnification is permissible in the circumstances and a good faith evaluation of the manner in which the claimant for indemnity acted and of the reasonable amount of indemnity due him. The Board of Directors may appoint a committee or special counsel to make such determination and evaluation. To the extent needed, the Board shall give notice to, and obtain approval by, the shareholders of the corporation for any decision to indemnify. Any person who at any time after the adoption of this bylaw serves or has served in the aforesaid capacities for or on behalf of the corporation shall be deemed to be doing or to have done so in reliance upon, and as consideration for, the right of indemnification provided herein. Such right shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives of any such person and shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which such person may be entitled apart from the provision of this bylaw." The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance under which the Company's directors and officers are insured against claims for errors, neglect, breach of duty and other matters.

(Filed as Appendix A of the Company's definitive proxy statement which was filed with the SEC on April 25, 1996.) * Incorporated herein by reference. Item 9. Undertakings. A. 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 Securities Act of 1933; (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) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement. (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 -5- 6 registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. B. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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. C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Raleigh, State of North Carolina, on May 23, 1996.
