-PAGE-




Article V of the Company's By-Laws provides for extensive
indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and

See the Exhibit Index following the signature page in this

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or  events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and 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 selected
in the form of a 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 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration" 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 provisions (i) and (ii) of
this undertaking are inapplicable if the information to be
filed thereunder is contained in periodic reports filed by
the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into 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; and




-PAGE-




     (3)  To remove from registration by means of post-
effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

(b)  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 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 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 may be permitted to directors,
officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the 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 director, officer or controlling
person 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 Company 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.

ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS.

(a) The undersigned Company hereby undertakes:

     (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or
sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement: (i) To include any prospectus
required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; (ii) To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or  events arising after
the effective date of the Registration Statement which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental
change in the information set forth in the Registration
Statement; and 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 selected
in the form of a 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 percent change
in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration" 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 provisions (i) and (ii) of
this undertaking are inapplicable if the information to be
filed thereunder is contained in periodic reports filed by
the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference into 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; and

-PAGE-

     (3)  To remove from registration by means of post-
effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.

(b)  The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 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 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 may be permitted to directors,
officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to
the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the 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 director, officer or controlling
person 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 Company 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.
