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:

                   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 (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 and 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 20 percent
                         change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
                         forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                         (ii) do not apply if the registration statement is
                         on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated
                         by reference in 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

<Page>

                   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.

       (b)  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant'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 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.

       (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 provisions described in Item 6
above, 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 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 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:

                   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 (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 and 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 20 percent
                         change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
                         forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" 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 paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                         (ii) do not apply if the registration statement is
                         on Form S-3 or Form S-8, 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated
                         by reference in 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.

              (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 liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Registrant'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 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.

       (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 provisions described in Item 6
above, 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 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 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.
