   ITEM 8.  EXHIBITS.

        The Exhibits filed herewith are set forth on the Exhibit Index
   filed as part of this Registration Statement.


                                      3



   ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

        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; 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 (i) and (ii) do not apply if 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.

        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 the 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.

        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

                                      4



   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.
