ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         None. The named experts and counsel referenced below do not have an
interest in the Registrant.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                  The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a
Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting the liability of its directors to the corporation and
its stockholders for money damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
except for liability resulting from (a) breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) an act or omission not in good faith
or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)
approval of an unlawful dividend, redemption or stock purchase or (d) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
certificate of incorporation of the Registrant contains such a provision which
eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

                  The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides
that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law,
indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. The Registrant's
Bylaws provide that, to the extent permitted and in the manner provided by law,
the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or
was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding. The Bylaws also provide that this right of
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any
person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

                  The DGCL requires a corporation to indemnify a present or
former director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein) referred to below. The DGCL permits a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,

<PAGE>


trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
(a) such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
(b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The DGCL also permits a
corporation to indemnify any such person in any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of that action or suit, if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that a court shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
court deems proper. In addition, the DGCL permits a corporation to advance
expenses (including attorneys' fees) to a director or officer upon the
corporation's receipt of an undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the
amount paid by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation under the DGCL and
further permits a corporation to pay such expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents upon
such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

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;

                           (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;

                           (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;

                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this 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 15(d) of the Exchange
Act 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.


<PAGE>

         (c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto

ITEM 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

                  Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

         None. The named experts and counsel referenced below do not have an
interest in the Registrant.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                  The Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") permits a
Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a provision
eliminating or limiting the liability of its directors to the corporation and
its stockholders for money damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
except for liability resulting from (a) breach of the director's duty of loyalty
to the corporation or its stockholders, (b) an act or omission not in good faith
or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c)
approval of an unlawful dividend, redemption or stock purchase or (d) a
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The
certificate of incorporation of the Registrant contains such a provision which
eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law.

                  The certificate of incorporation of the Registrant provides
that the Registrant shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law,
indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify pursuant thereto. The Registrant's
Bylaws provide that, to the extent permitted and in the manner provided by law,
the Registrant shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened
to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason
of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Registrant or is or
was serving at the request of the Registrant as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such
action, suit or proceeding. The Bylaws also provide that this right of
indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any
person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit
of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

                  The DGCL requires a corporation to indemnify a present or
former director or officer who has been successful on the merits or otherwise
against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in
the defense of any action, suit or proceeding (or in defense of any claim, issue
or matter therein) referred to below. The DGCL permits a corporation to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or who is threatened to be made a
party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action
by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is
or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably
incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if
(a) such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and
(b) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such person had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The DGCL also permits a
corporation to indemnify any such person in any threatened, pending or completed
action or suit by or in the right of the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
with the defense or settlement of that action or suit, if such person acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification
may be made with respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person
shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the
extent that a court shall determine upon application that, despite the
adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such
person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the
court deems proper. In addition, the DGCL permits a corporation to advance
expenses (including attorneys' fees) to a director or officer upon the
corporation's receipt of an undertaking by him or on his behalf to repay the
amount paid by the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that such
person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation under the DGCL and
further permits a corporation to pay such expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents upon
such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems appropriate.

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;

                           (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;

                           (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;

                  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Registrant pursuant to section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
incorporated by reference in this 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 15(d) of the Exchange
Act 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.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 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 Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES

                  Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933,
the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets
all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this
Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, at Hunt Valley, Maryland, on January 21, 2000.
