loyalty to the Registrant or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) liability for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells the
securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement to:
(i) Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
(ii) 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 this Registration
Statement (or such amendment); and
(iii) Include any additional or changed material information
on the plan of distribution;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (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 Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

<PAGE>
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, treat each such post-effective amendment as a new Registration
Statement relating to the securities offered, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any
of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors and officers and controlling
persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 6
above, 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 said 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 a director, officer, or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant shall, 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 said Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
