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 value
                   of securities offered would not exceed that which was
                   registered) and

                                      II-2

   5


                   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 percent 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 clauses 1(i) and 1(ii) shall not apply if the
         information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
         those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant
         pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
         incorporated by reference into this 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 any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
         registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 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 foregoing provisions, 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 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event 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

                                      II-3

   6


         registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
         is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person of the
         registrant 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.

                                      II-4
