(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 this 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 this Registration
                    Statement; and
(iii)
to
                include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
                not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material
                change to such information in this 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 paragraphs 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; 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, 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 this 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 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.
