PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The registrant incorporates herein by reference the
following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange

to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act");

or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year
covered by the annual report referenced to in (a) above; and
(c) The description of the registrant's common stock
contained in its registration statement filed under the Exchange
Act, and any amendment or report filed for the purpose of
updating such description.
All reports hereafter filed by the registrant pursuant
to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Exchange Act,
prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates
that all of the shares of the registrant's common stock covered

deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and to be a part

Item 9. Undertakings.
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;
(iii) To include any material information with re-
spect 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 (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 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 purposes 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-ef-
fective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
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 of-
fering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
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, therefor, 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 in-
demnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver
or cause to be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to
whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest annual report to
security holders that is incorporated by reference in the
prospectus and furnished pursuant to and meeting of requirements
of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934; and, where interim financial information required to be
presented by Article 3 of Regulation S-X are not set forth in the
prospectus, to deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person
to whom the prospectus is sent or given, the latest quarterly
report that is specifically incorporated by reference in the
prospectus to provide such interim financial information.
