      the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
      submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such

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 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 paragraphs
        (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the Registration Statement is on
        Form
        S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
        by those paragraphs is contained in 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.
-
            4 -
(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.
(4)           That,
          for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933
          to any
          purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a
          registration statement relating to an offering, other than Registration
          Statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance
          on
          Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration
          Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided,
          however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus
          that
          is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated
          or
          deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus
          that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with
          a time
          of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement
          that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part
          of the
          Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to
          such
          date of first use.
(5)           That,
            for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the
            Securities
            Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities,
            the
            undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities
            of
            the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless
            of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser,
            if the
            securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the
            following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller
            to the
            purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to
            such
            purchaser:
(i)           Any
      preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating
      to
      the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)           Any
      free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of
      the
      undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned
      Registrant;
(iii)           The
      portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing
      material information about the undersigned Registrant or its securities provided
      by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and
(iv)           Any
      other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
      Registrant to the purchaser.
(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.
