<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Maryland General Corporation Law (&#147;MGCL&#148;) permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the
liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b)&nbsp;active and
deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter, as amended from time to time, contains such a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of
the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, advance reasonable expenses to each person who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened or pending proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of our company, or is or was serving, at our request, as a director, officer, agent, partner, employee or trustee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether
conducted for profit or not. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceedings to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities
unless it is established that (a)&nbsp;the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i)&nbsp;was committed in bad faith or (ii)&nbsp;was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty,
(b)&nbsp;the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (c)&nbsp;in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was
improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses upon the corporation&#146;s receipt of (i)&nbsp;a written affirmation by
the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (ii)&nbsp;a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amounts advanced by
the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. Our bylaws also permit us to provide indemnification and advance of expenses to any employee or agent of our company. Finally, the MGCL requires a
corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his
service in that capacity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The
indemnification agreements require, among other things, that we indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to such persons all reasonable related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined
that indemnification is not permitted. Under these agreements, we must also indemnify and advance all reasonable expenses incurred by such persons seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements and may cover our directors and
executive officers under our directors&#146; and officers&#146; liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by law, it provides greater assurance to our directors and
executive officers and such other persons that indemnification will be available because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by our Board of Directors or the stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides. </P>

Item 4.
Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Maryland General Corporation Law ("MGCL") permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision limiting the
liability of its directors and officers to the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and
deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our charter, as amended from time to time, contains such a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
Our bylaws obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of
the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, advance reasonable expenses to each person who is or was a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, any threatened or pending proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
director or officer of our company, or is or was serving, at our request, as a director, officer, agent, partner, employee or trustee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, whether
conducted for profit or not.
The MGCL permits a corporation to indemnify its present and former directors and officers, among others,
against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceedings to which they may be made or threatened to be made a party by reason of their service in those or other capacities
unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty,
(b) the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was
unlawful. However, under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify a director or officer for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation or for a judgment of liability on the basis that a personal benefit was
improperly received, unless in either case a court orders indemnification and then only for expenses. In addition, the MGCL permits a corporation to advance reasonable expenses upon the corporation's receipt of (i) a written affirmation by
the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amounts advanced by
the corporation if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. Our bylaws also permit us to provide indemnification and advance of expenses to any employee or agent of our company. Finally, the MGCL requires a
corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise, which our charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which he is made a party by reason of his
service in that capacity.
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. The
indemnification agreements require, among other things, that we indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, and advance to such persons all reasonable related expenses, subject to reimbursement if it is subsequently determined
that indemnification is not permitted. Under these agreements, we must also indemnify and advance all reasonable expenses incurred by such persons seeking to enforce their rights under the indemnification agreements and may cover our directors and
executive officers under our directors' and officers' liability insurance. Although the form of indemnification agreement offers substantially the same scope of coverage afforded by law, it provides greater assurance to our directors and
executive officers and such other persons that indemnification will be available because, as a contract, it cannot be modified unilaterally in the future by our Board of Directors or the stockholders to eliminate the rights it provides.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted
to directors, officers or persons controlling our company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore
unenforceable.

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 SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration
Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and
(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 registration statement is on Form
S-8,
and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or
furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 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, 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 will 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 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 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 SEC 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.
