(c) Expenses. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting -------- discounts, commissions and transfer taxes incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 8, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees shall be paid by Company. 9.
