Incorporation also permit the Registrant to indemnify officers, employees or

Item 9.  Undertakings.

                  (1)      The undersigned hereby undertakes:

                           a. To file, during any period in which offers or
                  sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the
                  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; 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 paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii)
                  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 the registration statement;

                           b. 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; and

                           c. 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.

                  (2) The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
         of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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.

                  (3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
         the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
         controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the provisions set
         forth in Item 6 or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in
         the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
         policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liability (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or
         proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
         in connection with the securities registered under the registration
         statement, the undersigned 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 of
         1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                  (1)      The undersigned hereby undertakes:

                           a. To file, during any period in which offers or
                  sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the
                  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; 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 paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii)
                  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 the registration statement;

                           b. 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; and

                           c. 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.

                  (2) The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
         determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing
         of its annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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.

                  (3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under
         the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
         controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the provisions set
         forth in Item 6 or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in
         the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public
         policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
         unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
         such liability (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses
         incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
         undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or
         proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
         in connection with the securities registered under the registration
         statement, the undersigned 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 of
         1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
