Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
  
 Item 8. Exhibits.
  
 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;(ii)
    
    To 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. 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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in
volume and price represent no more than 20 percent 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 this Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
above 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 SEC by
the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement.(2)
    
    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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 of the registrant under the Securities
Act 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, each filing of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this 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 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 SEC such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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 Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
