  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
  any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant&#8217;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&#8217;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 <em>bona fide</em> offering thereof.</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(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.</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 of 1933, as amended
        ("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;
(iii) To include any
        material information with respect to the Plan 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.
3
(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.
