</TABLE>

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

   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,


                                       -2-
<PAGE>

              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) 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;

          (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 subparagraphs
                1(i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the information required to be
                included in a post-effective amendment by those subparagraphs 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 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.

     (4)       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 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.

     (5)       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 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 a director, officer or controlling
          person in connection with 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 Act and will be governed by
          the final adjudication of such issue.
