                                          (the "College")
                  
            A.    PREAMBLE

                  to the Regulated Health Professions Act, 1991, S.O. 1991, c. 18, as

                        fifteen (15) days of executing this Undertaking.  Going forward, I
                        further undertake to inform the College of any and all new Practice
                        Locations within fifteen (15) days of commencing practice at that
                        location.
                  
                  (b)   I, Dr. Himal, undertake and agree that I will submit to, and not
