  </FONT>(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 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 such issue.</FONT></P>

  Item 9:
  Undertakings.
  (a) The
  undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
  (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; (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 this 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 clauses (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
  information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
  clauses is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission 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 that 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 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 into 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 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 such issue.
