Item 9.       Undertaking.

         (a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1)   To file, during any period in which offers and
                        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 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
                  (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 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.
<PAGE>

         (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 provisions referred to under Item 6, 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 of 1933 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
                  of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
                  such issue.

Item 9.       Undertaking.

         (a)      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                  (1)   To file, during any period in which offers and
                        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 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
                  (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 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.
(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 provisions referred to under Item 6, 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 of 1933 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
                  of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
                  such issue.
