Registrant are entitled to indemnification from the Registrant for 
liabilities incurred in connection with the business or activities 
undertaken in their official capacities where acts involved did not

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;

         (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;

     PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(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
                                    3

<PAGE>

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 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.

(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 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.

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
                                    3
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 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.

(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 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.
