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 of 1933;

                    (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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act
               of 1933 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;

          provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
          apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
          information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
          those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
          registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities
          Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the
          Registration Statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
          the Securities Act of 1933, 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.

          (b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) 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.

         (c)   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

          (d)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

               (1)  For purposes of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933 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 of 1933, 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.
