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
         to include any material

                                       4

<Page>

         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;

                (2)     that, for the purpose of determining any liability
         under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
         each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
         registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
         the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
         the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                (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, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of any 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
herein, 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 registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant 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 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 of
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 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
         to include any material

                                       4
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;

                (2)     that, for the purpose of determining any liability
         under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
         each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
         registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and
         the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
         the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

                (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, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d)
of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of any 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
herein, 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 registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant 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 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 of
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.
