      not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, with respect to
      criminal actions, in which he had no reasonable cause to believe that his
      conduct was unlawful.  Similar provisions apply to actions brought by
      or in the right of the Registrant, except that no
-2-
indemnification
      shall be made in such cases when the person shall have been adjudged to be
      liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of such person's duty to
      the Registrant unless deemed otherwise by the court.  Indemnification
      is to be made by a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors or
      the
      written opinion of independent counsel or by the shareholders or by the
      court.  The Registrant's Amended and Restated Code of Regulations
      extends such indemnification, and the Registrant also has entered into
      indemnification agreements with individual directors.
The
      foregoing discussion is subject to
      the complete text of Section 1701.13(E) and is qualified in its entirety by
      reference thereto.

The
      Exhibits to this registration statement are listed in the Index to Exhibits
      which immediately follows the signature pages hereto.
Item
      9.  Undertakings.
9.1   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) 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 paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the registration
      statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a
      post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed
      with
      or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant or the Plan pursuant to Section
      13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference
      in
      this 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-
(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;
9.2    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.
9.3    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 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 Act and
      will
      be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
