No. 1 to
Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, filed on May 7,

|
|
Item
17:
|
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 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 SEC 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.
|
|
(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 purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act
to any
purchaser, if the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, 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.
|
|
(b)
|
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.
