Item 9. Undertakings

     A. The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                                       5
<PAGE>
     (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,  the paragraphs  (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
     information  is 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 15(d) of the Exchange  Act 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 be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof; and;

     (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 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 herein, 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 described in item 6, 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 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.
