</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section&nbsp;2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses, unless it is established that (i)&nbsp;the act or omission of the
director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or
was a result of deliberate dishonesty, (ii)&nbsp;the director actually received an improper personal
benefit or (iii)&nbsp;in a criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe the act or
omission was unlawful. A director may not be indemnified in any proceeding charging improper
personal benefit if the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received and, in a derivative action, there shall not be indemnification if a director
has been adjudged liable to the corporation. Unless limited by a company&#146;s charter, a director or
officer of a corporation who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding shall be
indemnified against reasonable costs incurred in such defense. Indemnification may not be made
unless authorized for a specific proceeding after determination by the board of directors, special
legal counsel or the stockholders that indemnification is permissible because the director has met
the requisite standard of conduct.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Article&nbsp;Seventh of the Company&#146;s Articles of Restatement (the &#147;Charter&#148;), provides that the
Company shall indemnify (i)&nbsp;its directors and officers, whether serving the Company or at its
request any other entity, to the full extent required or permitted by the Maryland law, including
the advance of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law and (ii)&nbsp;other
employees and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors or the
Company&#146;s By-laws and be permitted by law. The foregoing rights of indemnification are not
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of
Directors may take such action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is
expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such By-laws, resolutions or
contracts implementing such provisions or such further indemnification arrangements as may be
permitted by the Maryland law. Furthermore, no director or officer of the Company shall be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director or an officer, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not
permitted under the Maryland law as in effect when such breach occurred. No amendment of the
Charter or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the limitations on liability
provided to directors and officers with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.

annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated

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.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may
indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements and reasonable expenses, unless it is established that (i) the act or omission of the
director was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or
was a result of deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the director actually received an improper personal
benefit or (iii) in a criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe the act or
omission was unlawful. A director may not be indemnified in any proceeding charging improper
personal benefit if the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received and, in a derivative action, there shall not be indemnification if a director
has been adjudged liable to the corporation. Unless limited by a company's charter, a director or
officer of a corporation who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding shall be
indemnified against reasonable costs incurred in such defense. Indemnification may not be made
unless authorized for a specific proceeding after determination by the board of directors, special
legal counsel or the stockholders that indemnification is permissible because the director has met
the requisite standard of conduct.
Article Seventh of the Company's Articles of Restatement (the "Charter"), provides that the
Company shall indemnify (i) its directors and officers, whether serving the Company or at its
request any other entity, to the full extent required or permitted by the Maryland law, including
the advance of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law and (ii) other
employees and agents to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Directors or the
Company's By-laws and be permitted by law. The foregoing rights of indemnification are not
exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of
Directors may take such action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is
expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such By-laws, resolutions or
contracts implementing such provisions or such further indemnification arrangements as may be
permitted by the Maryland law. Furthermore, no director or officer of the Company shall be
personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary
duty as a director or an officer, except to the extent that exculpation from liability is not
permitted under the Maryland law as in effect when such breach occurred. No amendment of the
Charter or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the limitations on liability
provided to directors and officers with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such
amendment or repeal.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
1.
Item
512(a)
of Regulation S-K
. 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 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; and
(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 (i) and (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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the 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.
2.
Item
512(b)
of Regulation S-K
. 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 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.
3.
Item
512(h)
of Regulation S-K
. 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.
