                  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

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 provisions described under Item 6 above, 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
                  Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
                  such
                  issue.
