    (including an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its
    favor) or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
    of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the
    corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director,
    officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
    other enterprise, against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in

    interests of the corporation; and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
    no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful. Article Ninth of the

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;
(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. 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
-4-
maximum offering range may be reflected in the
    form of a 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.
(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) of this section do not apply if the information required to be
    included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic
    reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13
    or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference
    in the registration statement.
(2)  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.
(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 of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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 of 1933 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 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 Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
