                   (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 offered 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 any liability under the Securities
                   Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
                   pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
         (c)       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 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 that 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:

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

                                          6
(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;

                             (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, including (but not limited
                                       to) any addition or election of a
                                       managing underwriter.

                   (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 offered 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 any liability under the Securities
                   Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report
                   pursuant to Section 13(a) or 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.
         (c)       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 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 that 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.

                                          7
