        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
        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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
        adjudication of this issue. </font></div>

      by
      reference the following documents listed below and any future filings made
      with
      the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act

Indemnification
                    of Directors and Officers
Under
      the
      Canada Business Corporations Act, a corporation may indemnify a present or
      former director or officer of such corporation or another individual who acts
      or
      acted at the corporation's request as a director or officer, or an individual
      acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, against all costs, charges
      and
      expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment,
      reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal,
      administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is
      involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity,
      provided that the following conditions are met: (i) the director or officer
      acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the
      corporation or the other entity, and (ii) in the case of a criminal or
      administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty,
      had
      reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was lawful. Such
      indemnification may be made in connection with a derivative action only with
      court approval. A director or officer is entitled to indemnification from the
      corporation as a matter of right in respect of all costs, charges and expenses
      reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of a civil,
      criminal, administrative investigative or other proceeding to which the
      individual is subject because of the individual's association with the
      corporation or other entity if the individual was not judged by the court or
      other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything
      that the individual ought to have done and if the individual fulfilled the
      conditions set forth above.
A
      policy
      of directors' and officers' liability insurance is maintained by the Registrant
      which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims based
      upon
      the acts or omissions as directors and officers of the Registrant, including
      liabilities arising under the Securities Act, and also reimburses the Registrant
      for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the Securities
      Act.

Item 9.
Undertakings
(
a)
        The
        undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(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, as amended (the "Securities Act");
(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. Notwithstanding
        the
        foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
        total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was
        registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
        offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the
        Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume
        and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
        price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
        Registration Statement; and
(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
                  the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (1)(i) and (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 Exchange
                  Act
                  that are incorporated by reference in this Registration
                  Statement;
(2)
        That,
        for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 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, each filing of the Registrant's annual
        report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where
        applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
        Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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
        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 Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final
        adjudication of this issue.

Pursuant
      to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly
      caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the
