Item 28.  Undertakings.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors,  officers,  and controlling  persons of the small
business issuer pursuant to the foregoing  provisions,  or otherwise,  the small
business  issuer 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 small business issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the small business issuer 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 small business
issuer 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.

Registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

(1) File,  during  any  period in which it  offers or sells  securities,  a
    post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

  (i)   Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities 
        Act;
  (ii)  Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which,  individually  or
        together,  represent a fundamental  change in the  information  in the
        registration statement; and
  (iii) Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of 
        distribution.

(2)   For  determining  any  liability  under the  Securities  Act,  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.

(3)   File a post-effective  amendment to remove from registration any of the
      securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

(4)   For  determining  any  liability  under  the  Securities  Act,  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 small business issuer under Rule 424(b)(1),  or
      (4) or  497(h)  under  the  Securities  Act as part  of this  registration
      statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

(5)   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.
