<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
Articles of Amendment and Restatement and By-Laws of the Company state that the
Company shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, its directors and officers
whether serving the Company or at the request of another entity to the fullest
extent permitted by and in accordance with Section&nbsp;2-418 of the Maryland
General Corporation Law. Section&nbsp;2-418 contains certain provisions which
establish that a Maryland corporation may indemnify any director or officer
made party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity, against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by the director or officer in connection with such proceeding unless
it is established that the director&#146;s or officer&#146;s act or omission was material
to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and the director or officer
(i)&nbsp;acted in bad faith or with active and deliberate</font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;"> </font><font size="2" style="font-size:10.0pt;">dishonesty; (ii)&nbsp;actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii)&nbsp;in
the case of a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his act
was unlawful. However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification may not be made if the director or officer is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The statute also provides for
indemnification of directors and officers by court order.</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;12
of Article&nbsp;II of the Amended By-Laws of the Company provides as follows:</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
director shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a
member of any Committee of the Board upon which he may serve, in good faith, in
a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and
with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use
under similar circumstances. In performing his duties, a director shall be
entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including
financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or
presented by:</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;one
or more officers or employees of the Company whom the director reasonably
believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;counsel,
certified public accountants, or other persons as to matters which the director
reasonably believes to be within such person&#146;s professional or expert
competence; or</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;a
Committee of the Board upon which he does not serve, duly designated in
accordance with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws, as
to matters within its designated authority, which Committee the director
reasonably believes to merit confidence.</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A
director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge
concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance described
above to be unwarranted. A person who performs his duties in compliance with
this Section shall have no liability by reason of being or having been a
director of the Company.</font></p>

<p style="margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain officers
and directors which provide that the Company shall indemnify and advance
expenses to such officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law in effect on the date of the agreement, and to such greater
extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. Such
agreements provide for the advancement of expenses (subject to reimbursement if
it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification) prior to the disposition of any claim or proceeding.</font></p>

as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 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 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 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.</font></p>

ITEM 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The
Articles of Amendment and Restatement and By-Laws of the Company state that the
Company shall indemnify, and advance expenses to, its directors and officers
whether serving the Company or at the request of another entity to the fullest
extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 2-418 of the Maryland
General Corporation Law. Section 2-418 contains certain provisions which
establish that a Maryland corporation may indemnify any director or officer
made party to any proceeding by reason of service in that capacity, against
judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually
incurred by the director or officer in connection with such proceeding unless
it is established that the director's or officer's act or omission was material
to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and the director or officer
(i) acted in bad faith or with active and deliberate
dishonesty; (ii) actually received
an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in
the case of a criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his act
was unlawful. However, if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the
corporation, indemnification may not be made if the director or officer is
adjudged to be liable to the corporation. The statute also provides for
indemnification of directors and officers by court order.
Section 12
of Article II of the Amended By-Laws of the Company provides as follows:
A
director shall perform his duties as a director, including his duties as a
member of any Committee of the Board upon which he may serve, in good faith, in
a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company, and
with such care as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use
under similar circumstances. In performing his duties, a director shall be
entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports, or statements, including
financial statements and other financial data, in each case prepared or
presented by:
(a)  one
or more officers or employees of the Company whom the director reasonably
believes to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
(b)  counsel,
certified public accountants, or other persons as to matters which the director
reasonably believes to be within such person's professional or expert
competence; or
(c)  a
Committee of the Board upon which he does not serve, duly designated in
accordance with a provision of the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws, as
to matters within its designated authority, which Committee the director
reasonably believes to merit confidence.
A
director shall not be considered to be acting in good faith if he has knowledge
concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance described
above to be unwarranted. A person who performs his duties in compliance with
this Section shall have no liability by reason of being or having been a
director of the Company.
The
Company has also entered into indemnification agreements with certain officers
and directors which provide that the Company shall indemnify and advance
expenses to such officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law in effect on the date of the agreement, and to such greater
extent as applicable law may thereafter from time to time permit. Such
agreements provide for the advancement of expenses (subject to reimbursement if
it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to
indemnification) prior to the disposition of any claim or proceeding.

Not applicable.
ITEM 8. 
Exhibits.

statement.
ITEM 9. Undertaking.
(a)  The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
3
(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) do not apply if 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 of 1934
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)  That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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, 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 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 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 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 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 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
