  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 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 this 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;
II-3
(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)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(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 15(d) of the
      Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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 such issue.
