                           EXCHANGE APPLICATIONS, INC.

    We are a leading provider of customer optimization software products and
services. Our software and services are designed to enable businesses to
optimize the value of customer relationships across channels, products and
service lines. Our Xchange 4.0 suite of software and consulting services help
companies better understand their customers and prospects, and use that
understanding to plan and execute highly targeted marketing campaigns and
evaluate their impact.

    We help organizations answer the critical question: "How do we optimize the
VALUE we receive from a particular customer in EXCHANGE for the dollars invested
in that customer?" With that answer, businesses reach promising customer
segments through timely campaigns built using Xchange Dialogue. By providing
selected customers with the right offers, at the right times, through the right
channels, companies can enjoy measurable returns on their marketing investments
as both revenues and customer satisfaction rise.

    Today's increasingly competitive business environment is driving many
companies to seek ways to increase profitability through revenue growth. To
efficiently grow revenue, many businesses have begun to adopt software
applications intended to help them acquire new customers and retain and expand
existing customer relationships. To enable this focus on customers, businesses
need:

     o   an investment allocation methodology to identify profitable customer
         opportunities;

     o   the ability to access and analyze large amounts of customer
         information;

     o   marketing automation and campaign management applications to design and
         implement effective marketing campaigns;

     o   technologies to manage interactions with customers; and

     o   the ability to evaluate the effectiveness of investments on current and
         potential customer profitability.

    We provide a solution called Xchange 4.0, an evolution of our previous
solution Continuous Customer Management, which includes our Xchange Dialogue
software product, Xchange Real Time and Xchange EnAct and our related consulting
and integration services. This solution is designed to enable businesses to
maximize profitability by:

     o   providing a complete view of the relationship between a business and
         its customers;

     o   interfacing with a range of data-mining, reporting, modeling and Web
         interaction analysis products that access data warehouses to identify
         high-value customers;

     o   providing powerful marketing automation and campaign management
         software that allows marketers to define and execute highly timely and
         targeted marketing campaigns and other customer communications;

     o   integrating with front-office customer touchpoints, such as call
         centers, direct mail, sales forces, e-mail and Web sites, to deliver
         communications to existing and potential customers; and

     o   tracking the success or failure of communication streams to ensure more
         effective investment in customers.

    With our solution, businesses seek to achieve customer relationship
optimization, which involves proactively managing the economics of each customer
relationship to enable businesses to reach their full profit potential. Through
Xchange 4.0, businesses gain an understanding of the economics of customer


                                       4
<PAGE>


relationships, measure customer value and provide incentives through campaigns
that influence and optimize customer behavior. Our solution offers the following
key benefits:

     o   IMPROVED PROFITABILITY AND REVENUE GROWTH. Through the use of our
         solution, businesses have achieved increased customer retention rates,
         lower acquisition costs, more efficient cross selling and better
         customer satisfaction due to more relevant, less intrusive
         communications.

     o   COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION. Our products and services are designed to
         provide a complete solution for customer optimization. We believe that
         our combined offering of software, proprietary methodologies and
         consulting services help businesses implement marketing automation and
         campaign management software and improve customer profitability quickly
         and with little risk.

     o   ENTERPRISE-WIDE CUSTOMER VIEW. The campaign management software
         solution incorporated in Xchange 4.0 is designed to enable
         organizations to access and use all types of information stored in data
         warehouses. Businesses are therefore not restricted in the scope or
         type of information used to design customer optimization strategies.

     o   INCREASED MARKETING VELOCITY. Xchange 4.0 is designed to allow
         businesses to reduce dramatically the cycle time from planning through
         design, execution and measurement of campaigns to better respond to
         competitive and market pressures and to quickly evaluate new campaigns.

     o   OPEN, EXTENSIBLE ARCHITECTURE. Xchange 4.0 is designed to be open,
         easy-to-use and scaleable across a wide variety of computing
         environments, and can be integrated with existing hardware and software
         environments.

    Our objective is to be the leading provider of customer optimization
software and solutions. Strategies to achieve this include:

     o   extending the technology of Xchange 4.0 to broaden its capabilities;

     o   offering additional customer optimization solutions through internal
         development and/or acquisition;

     o   increasing our focus on industries other than the telecommunications
         and financial services industries;

     o   broadening distribution channels and building additional alliances;

     o   expanding global direct sales efforts; and

     o   increasing Web-based capabilities.

    We have deployed our solution across many industries, with installations at
over 200 different locations in North and South America, Europe, the Middle
East, Africa and Asia. Our customers include Ameritrade, Verizon, Citigroup,
Federal Express, Fidelity Investments, Fleet Bank, Cable & Wireless HKT, NatWest
Bank (U.K.), Nextel, Staples and U S West. Our products and services are
distributed through our direct sales force, through re-seller relationships with
Acxiom, ClientLogic, Epsilon, Experian, IBM, MicroStrategy, NetPerceptions and
others, and through co-marketing arrangements with companies such as Andersen
Consulting, Ernst & Young, Hewlett Packard, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and
SAS Institute.

                                  RISK FACTORS


    AN INVESTMENT IN OUR COMMON STOCK IS VERY RISKY. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE RISKS DESCRIBED BELOW AND THE OTHER INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS
BEFORE PURCHASING THE COMMON STOCK.


OUR LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY MAKES EVALUATING OUR BUSINESS DIFFICULT.

    We began commercial shipment of the initial VALEX product, now part of
Xchange Dialogue, in July 1996. We were not a separate company until November
1996. Accordingly, we have only a limited operating history for you to evaluate
our business. You must consider the risks, expenses and difficulties that an
early-stage company like ours faces. These risks include our ability to:

     o   successfully respond to competitive developments;

     o   continue to upgrade our products and service offerings; and

     o   continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

WE ONLY RECENTLY BECAME PROFITABLE, AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN PROFITABLE.

    We first became profitable in the quarter ended September 30, 1998. However,
we had a net loss of approximately $994,000 for the fiscal year ended December
31, 1998. Our revenues have increased in recent fiscal quarters, but we cannot
be certain that we will sustain these growth rates, or that we will remain
profitable.


OUR QUARTERLY OPERATING RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE SIGNIFICANTLY AND YOU SHOULD NOT
RELY ON THEM TO PREDICT OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE.


    Our quarterly revenues, expenses and operating results may vary
significantly from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors. Therefore, you
should not rely on period-to-period comparisons of results of operations as an
indication of future performance. Moreover, our operating results may fall below
market analysts' expectations in some future quarters. This could cause the
trading price of our common stock to decline.

OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER IF OUR SOLUTIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY NEW CUSTOMERS.

    We currently derive the majority of our revenues from Xchange Dialogue
licenses and services related to our Xchange 4.0 solution. We anticipate that
these sources will continue to account for a majority of our revenues for the
foreseeable future. As a result, our business will suffer if the market does not
accept our solutions and our future enhancements of these solutions. If demand
for our solutions drops as a result of competition, technological change or
other factors, our business could be substantially harmed.

    The market for customer optimization software applications is still emerging
and it may not continue to grow. Even if the market does grow, businesses may
not adopt our solutions. We have spent, and intend to continue to spend,
considerable resources educating potential customers about customer optimization
software and services in general and about the features and functions of our
products and services in particular. However, our solutions may not achieve any
additional degree of market acceptance. If the market for our solutions fails to
grow or grows more slowly than we currently anticipate, our business would be
materially harmed.


WE DEPEND ON A FEW INDUSTRIES FOR MOST OF OUR SALES, AND WE MAY NOT BE
SUCCESSFUL IN EXPANDING BEYOND THOSE LIMITED MARKETS.


    A substantial portion of our revenues has been derived from sales to
telecommunications companies and financial institutions, including retail banks,
credit card issuers and mutual fund companies. We may not continue to be
successful in these markets. In addition, we may not be successful in achieving
significant market acceptance in other markets that we target.

                                       6
<PAGE>

THE LOSS OF ONE OF OUR LARGEST CUSTOMERS COULD CAUSE OUR REVENUES TO DROP
QUICKLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY.


    For the six-month period ended June 30, 2000, our top five customers
accounted for 35.9% of total revenues as compared to 33.5% of total revenues for
the six-month period ended June 30, 1999. We cannot be certain that our current
customers will continue to do business with us, that business from existing
customers will continue at the levels of previous periods, or that we will be
able to do a significant amount of business with new customers. If we lose one
of our customers, our revenues could drop more quickly than we could reduce
expenses. This could substantially harm our financial results.


WE NEED TO MANAGE OUR GROWTH EFFECTIVELY OR WE MAY NOT SUCCEED.


    We have grown rapidly, with total revenues increasing from $6.0 million in
1996, to $13.3 million in 1997, to $26.2 million in 1998, to $43.3 million in
1999 and we recorded $34.8 million of total revenues for the first six months of
2000. The number of our employees has increased from 47 at December 31, 1996 to
157 at December 31, 1998, to 227 at December 31, 1999 and to 466 at June 30,
2000. Our operating and financial systems and the geographic distribution of our
operations and customers have also experienced substantial growth over this
period. Our future operating results will depend on the ability of our officers
and other key employees to continue to implement and improve our operational,
customer support and financial control systems, and to expand, train and manage
our employee base. Our failure to expand and integrate these areas in an
efficient manner could cause our expenses to grow, our revenues to decline or to
grow more slowly than expected, and could have a material adverse effect on our
business.


IF WE LOSE OUR KEY PERSONNEL, OR FAIL TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN ADDITIONAL
PERSONNEL, OUR BUSINESS AND GROWTH MAY SUFFER.


    Our future success depends on the continued services of a relatively small
number of key technical and senior management personnel, including Andrew J.
Frawley, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David G. McFarlane, our
President and Chief Operating Officer, and Michael D. McGonagle, our Chief
Technology Officer, none of whom presently has an employment contract with us.
Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain
other highly qualified technical, sales and managerial personnel. Competition
for these people is intense, and we have at times in the past experienced
difficulty in recruiting qualified personnel. The loss of any member of our key
technical, sales and senior management personnel or the inability to attract and
retain additional qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on
our business.


OUR BUSINESS WILL NOT GROW IF WE DO NOT KEEP PACE WITH RAPIDLY CHANGING
TECHNOLOGIES.


    Because the market for our software products is rapidly changing, our future
success will depend upon our ability to continue to enhance our current product
line. We also must develop and introduce new products that keep pace with
technological developments, satisfy increasingly sophisticated customer
requirements and achieve market acceptance. If we are not successful in
developing and marketing, on a timely and cost-effective basis, fully functional
product enhancements or new products that respond to technological advances by
others, our business will not grow and our financial results will suffer. In
particular, our business could be harmed by:


     o   any significant errors or "bugs" in our software shipped to customers;


     o   any delay by customers in making purchasing decisions in anticipation
         of the general availability of new or enhanced products;


     o   significant delays in the general availability of our new products or
         releases;

     o   significant problems in the installation or implementation of our new
         products or releases; or

     o   customer dissatisfaction with our new products or releases.

OUR STOCK PRICE OR OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE ARE NOT ABLE
TO EFFICIENTLY INTEGRATE ACQUISITIONS.


    We have consummated and we may continue to pursue acquisitions that provide
new technologies, products or service offerings. We also may acquire software
licenses from third parties for resale as part of our solutions. Acquisitions
and licenses by us may involve potentially dilutive issuances of equity
securities. We also may incur substantial additional liabilities and expenses,
such as debt or amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible
assets. If any of these occur, the market price of our common stock and our
financial results could suffer.


                                       7
<PAGE>


    Furthermore, acquisitions of businesses and technologies involve numerous
risks, including:

     o   difficulties in the assimilation and integration of operations,
         technologies, products and personnel;

     o   in the case of acquisitions, the diversion of management's attention
         from other business concerns;

     o   risks of entering markets in which we have no or limited prior
         experience; and

     o   in the case of acquisitions, the potential loss of key employees of the
         acquired company.

    If we are not successful integrating acquisitions or acquired or licensed
technologies, it could increase our expenses and harm our business.


COMPETITION COULD REDUCE OUR MARKET SHARE AND HARM OUR BUSINESS.


    Our competitors may be able to develop products and services that are more
attractive to businesses than our products and services. Many of our competitors
have longer operating histories, significantly greater financial, technical,
marketing and other resources, greater name recognition and larger customer
bases. As a result, they may be able to adapt more quickly to new or emerging
technologies and changes in customer requirements. They also may be able to
devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and
services than we. If these companies introduce products and services that
effectively competed with our products and services, they could be in a position
to charge lower prices or to bundle their products and services with their other
products and services. This could give them a competitive advantage over us.

    In order to be successful in the future, we must continue to respond
promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change and
competitors' innovations. If we cannot compete successfully with existing or new
competitors, we may have to reduce prices on our products, which could lead to
reduced profits. We could also lose market share, which would materially and
adversely affect our business.


IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY MAINTAIN OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH INDIRECT DISTRIBUTION
CHANNELS, OUR SALES COULD DECLINE OR COULD GROW MORE SLOWLY THAN EXPECTED.

    We expect to increase the amount of our products that we distribute through
various indirect channels. We are unable to predict the extent to which our
distribution partners will be successful in distributing our products. We rely
on the marketing and sales efforts of these organizations, many of whom also
market and sell competitive products. The loss of one or more of our
relationships with these organizations could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

    Our future performance will also depend, in part, on our ability to attract
organizations that will be able to market and support our products effectively,
especially in markets in which we have not previously distributed our products.
None of our agreements governing the re-seller or co-marketing relationships
with these organizations includes any commitments on the part of these
organizations to effect any minimum number of sales of our products, or
otherwise to provide us with business. If revenues arising from our
relationships with these organizations do not exceed historical levels, our
business will not grow as expected.


WE HAVE A LIMITED ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AND OTHERS
COULD INFRINGE ON OR MISAPPROPRIATE OUR PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.


    Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent on our
internally developed technologies and trademarks, which we protect through a
combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, confidentiality
procedures and contractual provisions.

    Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties
may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain and use information
that we regard as proprietary. Policing unauthorized use of our products is
difficult and, while we are unable to determine the extent to which piracy of
our software products exists, we expect software piracy to be a problem. In
addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary
rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Furthermore, our
competitors may independently develop technology similar to ours.

                                       8
<PAGE>

    The number of intellectual property claims may increase as the number of
competing products grows and the functionality of products in different industry
segments overlaps. Although we are not aware that any of our products infringe
upon the proprietary rights of third parties, there can be no assurance that
third parties will not claim infringement by us with respect to current or
future products. Any of these claims, with or without merit, could be time-
consuming to address, result in costly litigation, cause product shipment delays
or require us to enter into royalty or licensing agreements. These royalty or
licensing agreements, if required, might not be available on terms acceptable to
us or at all, which could have a material adverse effect upon our business.


IF WE DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY GROW AND MANAGE OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS, OUR
BUSINESS WILL SUFFER.

    We have operations in a number of foreign markets. We currently have
customers in more than 33 countries. We believe that we must expand our sales in
international markets in order for our business to grow as planned. In order to
successfully expand international sales, we must establish additional foreign
operations and hire additional personnel. If we are unable to do so in a timely
and effective manner, our growth in international sales will be limited, and our
business could be materially adversely affected. We have begun to translate our
products into different languages and character sets, which may be more
difficult or expensive to complete than expected. In addition, other markets may
have longer selling cycles and different product requirements than the United
States and we may not be able to successfully adapt our products and methods.

    Our international operations are also subject to the risks inherent in any
international business activities, including, in particular:

     o   management of an organization spread over various countries;

     o   longer accounts-receivable payment cycles in certain countries;

     o   compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations;

     o   unexpected changes in regulatory requirements;

     o   overlap of different tax structures; and

     o   general economic conditions.


CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS AND GENERAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS IN OUR FOREIGN MARKETS MAY
IMPACT OUR CUSTOMERS' SPENDING AND THE VALUE OF MONEY OWED TO US.

    We have made substantial sales to international customers in Canada,
Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom and China. Our
revenues from international operations have been denominated in foreign
currencies which historically have been relatively stable in relation to U.S.
dollars. As a result, we have not adopted a policy of hedging foreign currency
risks. If economic conditions in our target markets decline, currencies could
fluctuate relative to the U.S. dollar, and our customers could reduce their
information technology spending.

WE MAY BE SUBJECT TO FUTURE PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS.

    While our license agreements with our customers typically contain provisions
designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims, it is
possible that these provisions may not be effective under the laws of certain
jurisdictions. Although we have not experienced any product liability claims to
date, we may be subject to claims in the future. A successful product liability
claim brought against us could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Moreover, defending these claims, regardless of merit, could entail substantial
expense and require the time and attention of key management personnel.

OUR COMMON STOCK PRICE IS LIKELY TO BE VOLATILE AND COULD DROP UNEXPECTEDLY.

    The market for securities of most high technology companies, including our
common stock, has been highly volatile. It is likely that the market price of
the common stock will continue to fluctuate widely in the future. Factors
affecting the trading price of our common stock include:

                                       9
<PAGE>

     o   responses to quarter-to-quarter variations in our results of
         operations;

     o   the announcement of new products or product enhancements by us or our
         competitors;

     o   technological innovation by us or our competitors;

     o   general market conditions or market conditions specific to particular
         industries; and

     o   changes in earnings estimates by analysts.

WE HAVE ADOPTED ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS THAT COULD AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF
OUR COMMON STOCK OR OUR ABILITY TO SELL OUR BUSINESS.

    Certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation
and our by-laws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us,
even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. In addition, certain
provisions of Delaware law and our stock incentive plans may also have the
effect of discouraging, delaying or preventing a sale.

                                 USE OF PROCEEDS

    We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock
offered by the selling stockholders.

                              SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

    The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial
ownership of our common stock as of September 1, 2000 by each of the selling
stockholders. The table shows the number of shares being sold by each selling
stockholder and the number and percentage of our outstanding shares each selling
stockholder will own after the offering.

    None of the selling stockholders has, or within the past three years has
had, any position, office or other material relationship with Exchange
Applications or any of our predecessors or affiliates, except as described below
in certain footnotes to the table. Certain of the selling stockholders are
presently employed by Exchange Applications.

     1/ Beneficial ownership is calculated in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     2/ Insight Venture Partners I, L.P. has at certain times during the last three years been an affiliate of Exchange Applications
by virtue of holding, together with its affiliates, greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of Exchange Applications and having
one, and at times two, of its partners, Jeffrey Horing and Ramanan Raghavendran, serve on Exchange Applications' Board of Directors.
As of November, 1999, Insight Venture Partners I, L.P., together with its affiliates, ceased to hold more than 5% of the outstanding

holding approximately 5.5% of the outstanding shares of Customer Analytics, Inc. and having one of its partners serve on Customer
Analytics, Inc.'s Board of Directors.

     3/ Wexford InSight LLC has at certain times during the last three years been an affiliate of Exchange Applications by virtue of
holding, together with its affiliates, greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of Exchange Applications. As of October, 1999,
Wexford Insight LLC, together with its affiliates, ceased to hold more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Exchange Applications
and, therefore, ceased to be an affiliate of Exchange Applications. Wexford Insight LLC was an affiliate of Customer Analytics, Inc.

                              PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         The shares of common stock may be sold from time to time by the selling
stockholders in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at market prices at
the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at
negotiated prices. In addition, any or all of the shares that qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 might be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
prospectus. The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making
decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. The selling
stockholders may offer their shares of common stock in one or more of the
following transactions:

         o  on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which
            the common stock may be listed or quoted at the time of sale,
            including the Nasdaq National Stock Market;

         o  in the over-the-counter market;

         o  in private transactions;

         o  through options;

         o  by pledge to secure debts and other obligations; or

         o  a combination of any of the above transactions.

         If required, we will distribute a supplement to this prospectus to
describe material changes in the terms of the offering.

         There is no assurance that any of the selling stockholders will sell
any or all of the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus.
Exchange Applications may suspend or terminate the Registration Statement
pursuant to its contractual arrangements with the selling stockholders.

         The shares of common stock described in this prospectus may be sold
from time to time directly by the selling stockholders. Alternatively, the
selling stockholders may from time to time offer shares of common stock to or
through underwriters, broker/dealers or agents. The selling stockholders and any
underwriters, broker/dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of
the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933. Any profits on the resale of shares of common
stock and any compensation received by any underwriter, broker/dealer or agent
may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act of 1933.

         To comply with the securities laws of certain jurisdictions, the common
stock must be offered or sold only through registered or licensed brokers or
dealers. In addition, in certain jurisdictions, the common stock may not be
offered or sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an
exemption is available and complied with.

         We have advised the selling stockholders that the anti-manipulation
rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the
market and to the activities of the selling stockholders and their affiliates.
In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling
stockholders and have informed them of the need for delivery of copies of this
prospectus to purchasers at or prior to the time of any sale of the shares
offered hereby. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that
participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain
liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

         Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any person engaged in a
distribution of the common stock may not simultaneously engage in market-making
activities with respect to the common stock for nine business days prior to the
start of the distribution. In addition, each selling stockholder and any other
person participating in a distribution will be subject to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of
common stock by the selling stockholders or any such other person. These factors
may affect the marketability of the common stock and the ability of brokers or
dealers to engage in market-making activities.

         All expenses of this registration will be paid by Exchange
Applications. These expenses include the SEC's filing fees and fees under state
securities or "blue sky" laws. The selling stockholders will pay all
underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.


                                  LEGAL MATTERS

         The validity of the common stock offered hereby will be passed upon for
us by Bingham Dana LLP, Boston, Massachusetts.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS

         (A) 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 Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

         (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 Securities and Exchange
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.

         (C) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:


                  (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as
part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in
a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4)
or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

                  (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus
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.


         (D) 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 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.
