Item
9.
Undertakings.
(a)
The
undersigned 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 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 Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b)
if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no
more
than a 20 percent 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 this Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in this Registration
Statement;
|
provided,
however
,
that
clauses (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required
to
be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in
periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d)
of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into 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; and
|
|
|
(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
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 Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act that
is incorporated by reference into 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 or controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6,
or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of
the
Commission, 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.
|
SIGNATURES
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies

it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements
for
filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City of
Irvine, State of California, on December 18, 2007.
