ITEM 24.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     Reference is made to Paragraphs 6 and 7 of the Underwriting Agreement
(Exhibit 1.1) with respect to indemnification of the Company and the
Underwriter.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, offices or 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 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 hereunder, 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.

ITEM 28.  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;
 
             (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.
 
          (2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, to treat each
     post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities
     offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial
     bona fide offering.
 
          (3) To remove from the registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
     termination of the offering.
 
          (4) To provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the
     underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in
     such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
     purchaser.
 
          (5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officer or 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 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 hereunder, 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.
 
          (6) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat
     the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
     registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form
     of prospectus filed by the issuer under Rule 424(b)(I), or (4) or 497(h)
     under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the
     time the Commission declared it effective.
 
          (7) For determining any liability under the Securities Act, to treat
     each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
     registration statement for the securities offered in the registration
     statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial
     bona fide offering of those securities.
