UNDERTAKINGS

(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 of 1933 unless the information required to be included in
     such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by
     registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference,

          (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 unless the information required to be included in
     such post-effective amendment is contained in a periodic report filed by
     the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934 and incorporated herein by reference, 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;

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment 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;

(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; and

(4) 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 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.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to be
delivered with the prospectus to each employee to whom the prospectus is sent or
given, a copy of the registrant's annual report to shareholders for its last
fiscal year, unless such employee otherwise has received a copy of such report
in which case the registrant shall state in the prospectus that it will promptly
furnish, without charge, a copy of such report on written request of the
employee. If the last fiscal year of the registrant has ended within 120 days
prior to the use of the prospectus, the annual report of the registrant for the
preceding fiscal year may be so delivered, but within such 120-day period the
annual report for the last fiscal year will be furnished to each such employee.

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to transmit or cause to be
transmitted to all employees participating in the plan, who do not otherwise
receive such material as shareholders of the registrant, at the time and in the
manner such material is sent to its shareholders, copies of all reports, proxy
statements and other communications distributed to its shareholders generally.

     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 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.
