Exchange Act).

<P align="left"><B>Item&nbsp;5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.</B>

<P align="left"><B>Item&nbsp;6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B>

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company&#146;s Charter provides that, to the fullest extent that
limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the
Maryland General Corporation Law, no director or officer of the Company shall
have any liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages.
The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a corporation&#146;s charter may
include a provision which restricts or limits the liability of its directors or
officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1)
to the extent that it is provided that the person actually received an improper
benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit
or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (2)&nbsp;to the
extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is
entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person&#146;s
action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The
Company&#146;s Charter and By-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify and
advance expenses to its currently acting and its former directors to the
fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and that the
Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the same extent
as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Charter and By-laws of the Company provide that the Company will
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify employees or agents of
the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and
expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved
because of their offices with the Company. In addition, the Company&#146;s Charter
provides that its directors and officers will not be liable to stockholders for
money damages, except in limited instances. However, nothing in the Charter or
By-laws of the Company protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or
agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director
has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Maryland General
Corporation Law provides that he shall be indemnified against reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith.

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company has in effect a policy of liability insurance covering its
directors and officers.


<P align="center"><B>*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; *</B>


<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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
<P align="center">-2-


<!-- PAGEBREAK -->
<P><HR noshade><P>


<P>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.

All documents and reports filed by the Company subsequent to the date

prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to this registration
statement which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be

deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such

Item 4.       Description of Securities.
Not applicable (the Common Stock is registered under Section 12 of the
Exchange Act).
Item 5.       Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6.       Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Company's Charter provides that, to the fullest extent that
limitations on the liability of directors and officers are permitted by the
Maryland General Corporation Law, no director or officer of the Company shall
have any liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages.
The Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a corporation's charter may
include a provision which restricts or limits the liability of its directors or
officers to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages except: (1)
to the extent that it is provided that the person actually received an improper
benefit or profit in money, property or services, for the amount of the benefit
or profit in money, property or services actually received, or (2) to the
extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is
entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person's
action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty
and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding. The
Company's Charter and By-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify and
advance expenses to its currently acting and its former directors to the
fullest extent permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and that the
Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to its officers to the same extent
as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law.
The Charter and By-laws of the Company provide that the Company will
indemnify its directors and officers and may indemnify employees or agents of
the Company to the fullest extent permitted by law against liabilities and
expenses incurred in connection with litigation in which they may be involved
because of their offices with the Company. In addition, the Company's Charter
provides that its directors and officers will not be liable to stockholders for
money damages, except in limited instances. However, nothing in the Charter or
By-laws of the Company protects or indemnifies a director, officer, employee or
agent against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of
willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office. To the extent that a director
has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Maryland General
Corporation Law provides that he shall be indemnified against reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith.
The Company has in effect a policy of liability insurance covering its
directors and officers.
*       *       *
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
-2-
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.
Item 7.       Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Power of Attorney (included on signature page)
The Registrant undertakes to submit the Plan and any amendment thereto to
the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") in a timely manner and agrees to make
all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify the Plan.
Item 9.       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;
(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. 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 aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement;
-3-
(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.
Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
(a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on
Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required
to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2)       That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 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.
(b)       The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes 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 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to 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.
(c)       The undertaking concerning indemnification is set forth under the
response to Item 6.
