Item 28.  Undertakings.

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1) To 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 of 1933 ("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.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  any increase or
decrease  in  volume  of  securities  offered  (if the  total  dollar  value  of
securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation
from  the  low or  high  end of the  estimated  maximum  offering  range  may be
reflected in the form of prospectus  filed with the Commission  pursuant to Rule
424(b) if, in the aggregate,  the changes in volume and price  represent no more
than a 20  percent  change  in the  maximum  offering  price  set  forth  in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.

                (iii) Include any additional or changed material  information on
the plan of distribution.

        (2) For  determining  liability  under the  Securities  Act,  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) File a post-effective  amendment to remove from  registration any of
the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

        (4) The  undersigned  registrant  hereby  undertakes  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,  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.

        In accordance  with the  requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the

statement  to be  signed  on its  behalf  by the  undersigned,  in the  City  of
Emlenton, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, on September 23, 1996.
