or  was  a director or officer of the corporation. Such indemnity may be against

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;  and

               (iii)  To  include  any  material  information  with  respect  to
          the plan of  distribution  not  previously  disclosed in the registra-
          tion 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-3,  Form S-8 or Form F-3 and 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

                                        6


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.

                                        7

     Pursuant  to  the  requirements  of  the Securities Act of 1933, Registrant
certifies  that  it  has  reasonable grounds to believe that is meets all of the
requirements  for  filing  on  Form  S-8  and  has duly caused this registration
