ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

    The undersigned hereby undertakes:

    (1)(a)  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 percent change in the
                   maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the 
                   "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 
                   registration statement. 


                                       3

<PAGE>


            (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)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if 
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form 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 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 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.

    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.

    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 


                                       4

<PAGE>

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.

    The undersigned hereby undertakes:

    (1)(a)  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

                   "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective 
                   registration statement. 

                                       3
(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)(a)(i) and (1)(a)(ii) do not apply if 
the registration statement is on Form S-3, Form 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 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 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.

    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.

    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 

                                       4
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.
