In the event that a claim for indemnification<br \/>\nagainst such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses<br \/>\nincurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant<br \/>\nin the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such<br \/>\ndirector, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities

the question whether such indemnification by it is against public<br \/>\npolicy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the<br \/>\nfinal adjudication of such
