     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;

          (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 1 (i) and 1(ii) do not apply if the
          information  required  to be included  in a  post-effective  amendment
          thereby 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.

     (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 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 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.

     The  Certificate of  Incorporation  and By-Laws of the  registrant  contain
various  provisions for limitation of liability and  indemnification of officers
and  directors,  as described  in Item 6.  Section 145 of the  Delaware  General
Corporation  law permits  indemnification  of officers,  directors and employees
under certain conditions.

     Insofar as  indemnification  for liability 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 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.
