    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Item 9. Undertakings.</p>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">The Registrant hereby undertakes:</p>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(1) to file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities,
    a post effective amendment to this registration statement to include any prospectus
    required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;</p>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration
    statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be
    the initial bona fide offering;</p>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.</p>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
    Act of 1933 (the &quot;Act&quot;) may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
    persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
    the small business issuer 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 Company 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 Company will, unless in the opinion
    of this counsel that matter</p>
    <hr>
    <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">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 jurisdiction of such
    issue.</p>

Item 9. Undertakings.
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which it offers or sells securities,
    a post effective amendment to this registration statement to include any prospectus
    required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
    Securities Act of 1933, to treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration
    statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be
    the initial bona fide offering;
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
    any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
    Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling
    persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
    the small business issuer 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 Company 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 Company will, unless in the opinion
    of this counsel that 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 jurisdiction of such
    issue.
