         lawsuit to which they are made parties by reason of being or
         having been such directors or officers, subject to specified
         conditions and exclusions, gives a director or officer who
         successfully defends an action the right to be so indemnified,
         and authorizes the Registrant to buy directors' and officers'
         liability insurance. Such indemnification is not exclusive of any
         other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any
         by-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or otherwise.

   (c)   In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware GCL, the
         Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation provides that directors

Item 9.  Undertakings.

A.       Rule 415 Offering.
         -----------------

         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.
                     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% change in the
                     maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
                     "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the
                     effective 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 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 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.



                                    S-3


         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.       Filings Incorporating Subsequent Exchange Act Documents by Reference.
         --------------------------------------------------------------------

         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.       Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
         -----------------------------------------

         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 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.
