               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
                    being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
                    Statement:

                    (1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
                        of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (2) 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

                        any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered
                        (if the total dollar value of securities offered would

                        maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                        "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
                        Registration Statement.

                    (3) 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)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do
               not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, S-8, or
               Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
               post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
               periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
               registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.

         (2)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
               of determining a 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.

         (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 by 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.

ITEM 9.   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:

                    (1) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
                        of the Securities Act of 1933;

                    (2) 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 2 percent change in the

                                       3

                        maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                        "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
                        Registration Statement.

                    (3) 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)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do
               not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3, S-8, or
               Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
               post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
               periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the
               registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 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.

         (2)   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
               of determining a 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.

         (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 by 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.
