<p>
<font size="2" face="Times New Roman">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section 418 of the MGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any director made a party to a proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that: (1) the act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or (2) the director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys&#146; fees) actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Maryland General
Corporation Law provides that he or she shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection therewith.&#160; A Maryland corporation may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law, and as may be provided in its charter, bylaws, or action by its board of directors, or contract.</font></p>

ITEM 5.
INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL
.
Thomas L. Patz is the duly elected and acting Executive Vice-President, Strategic Initiatives, and General Counsel of the Registrant and has acted as counsel to the Registrant in connection with the preparation and filing with the Commission of this Registration Statement on Form S-8.

ITEM 6.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
.
Section 405.2 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, provides that a Maryland corporation may, with certain limitations, set forth in its certificate of incorporation a provision limiting the liability of a director or an officer to the corporation or its stockholders for money damages, but may not include any provision that restricts or limits the liability of a director or an officer to the corporation or its stockholders if (i) it is proved that the director or officer 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 (ii) 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.
2
Paragraph NINTH of the Registrant's Consolidated Articles of Incorporation provides that no director or officer of the Registrant shall be personally liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the Maryland statutory or decisional law.
Section 418 of the MGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any director made a party to a proceeding by reason of service in that capacity unless it is established that: (1) the act or omission of the director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (a) was committed in bad faith or (b) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, or (2) the director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding. To the extent that a director has been successful in defense of any proceeding, the Maryland General
Corporation Law provides that he or she shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection therewith.  A Maryland corporation may indemnify its officers to the same extent as its directors and to such further extent as is consistent with law, and as may be provided in its charter, bylaws, or action by its board of directors, or contract.
Paragraph EIGHTH of the Registrant's Consolidated Articles of Incorporation and Article IX of the Registrant's By-Laws provide that the Registrant shall indemnify its directors and officers, other employees or agents, whether serving the Registrant or at its request any other entity, to the fullest extent required or permitted by Maryland law.
Section 418(k) of the MGCL provides that a Maryland corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or employee benefit plan against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity or arising out of such person's position, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify against liability under the provisions of this section.
Article IX of the Registrant's By-Laws permits the Registrant to purchase and maintain such insurance.  The Registrant has purchased a director and officer liability policy.

(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 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;
(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 (l)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
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 Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) 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.

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 Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  If 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.
