Article VI of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation provides that the Company shall, to the full extent permitted and
in the manner prescribed by the Maryland General Corporation Law and any other
applicable law, indemnify a director or officer of the Company who is or was a
party to any proceeding by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or
officer, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise.
The Maryland General Corporation Law provides, in
pertinent part, as follows:
2-418 
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS.
—(a) 
In this section the following words have the meanings indicated.
(1)            "Director"
means any person who is or was a director of a corporation and any person who,
while a director of a 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, other
enterprise, or employee benefit plan.
(2)            "Corporation"
includes any domestic or foreign predecessor entity of a corporation in a
merger,
R-
2
consolidation,
or other transaction in which the predecessor's existence ceased upon
consummation of the transaction.
(3)            "Expenses"
include attorney's fees.
(4)            "Official
capacity" means the following:
(i)             When
used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation; and
(ii)            When
used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in
sub-section (j), the elective or appointive office in the corporation held by
the officer, or the employment or agency relationship undertaken by the
employee or agent in behalf of the corporation.
(iii)           "Official
capacity" does not include service for any other foreign or domestic
corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise, or
employee benefit plan.
(5)            "Party"
includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or
respondent in a proceeding.
(6)            "Proceeding"
means any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.
(b)(1)       A
corporation may indemnify any director made a party to any proceeding by reason
of service in that capacity unless it is
established
that:
(i)             The
act or omission of the director was material to the
matter
giving rise to
the proceeding; and
1.             Was
committed in bad faith; or
2.             Was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or
(ii)            The
director actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or
services; or
(iii)           In
the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
(2)(i)        Indemnification
may be against judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable
expenses actually incurred by the director in connection with the proceeding.
(ii)            However,
if the proceeding was one by or in the right of the corporation,
indemnification may not be made in respect of any proceeding in which the
director shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
(3)(i)        The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, or settlement does not create
a presumption that the director did not meet the requisite standard of conduct
set forth in this subsection.
(ii)            The
termination of any proceeding by conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or
its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates
a rebuttal presumption that the director did not meet that standard of conduct.
(c)            A
director may not be indemnified under subsection (B) of this section in
respect of any proceeding charging improper personal benefit to the director,
whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity, in which
the director was adjudged to be liable on the basis that personal benefit was
improperly received.
(d)           Unless
limited by the charter:
(1)            A
director who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of
any proceeding referred to in subsection (B) of this section shall be
indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred by the director in connection
with the proceeding.
(2)            A
court of appropriate jurisdiction upon application of a director and such
notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification in the following
circumstances:
(i)             If
it determines a director is entitled to reimbursement under paragraph (1) of
this subsection, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the
director shall be entitled to recover the expenses of securing such
reimbursement; or
(ii)            If
it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the
director has met the standards of conduct set forth in subsection (b) of
this section or has been adjudged liable under the circumstances described in
subsection (c) of this section, the court may order such indemnification
as the court shall deem proper. However, indemnification with respect to any
proceeding by or in the right of the corporation or in which liability shall
have been adjudged in the circumstances described in subsection (c) shall
be limited to expenses.
(3)            A
court of appropriate jurisdiction may be the same court in which the proceeding
involving the director's liability took place.
(e)(1)       Indemnification
under subsection (b) of this section may not be made by the corporation
unless authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made
that indemnification of the director is
R-
3
permissible
in the circumstances because the director has met the standard of conduct set
forth in subsection (b) of this section.
(2)            Such
determination shall be made:
(i)             By
the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors
not, at the time, parties to the proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be
obtained, then by a majority vote of a committee of the board consisting solely
of two or more directors not, at the time, parties to such proceeding and who
were duly designated to act in the matter by a majority vote of the full board
in which the designated directors who are parties may participate;
(ii)            By
special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or a committee of the
board by vote as set forth in subparagraph (I) of this paragraph, or, if
the requisite quorum of the full board cannot be obtained therefor and the
committee cannot be established, by a majority vote of the full board in which
directors who are parties may participate; or
(iii)           By
the stockholders.
(3)            Authorization
of indemnification and determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be
made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is
permissible. However, if the determination that indemnification is permissible
is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and
determination as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the manner
specified in subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (2) of this subsection
for selection of such counsel.
(4)            Shares
held by directors who are parties to the proceeding may not be voted on the
subject matter under this subsection.
(f)(1)        Reasonable
expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or
reimbursed by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of the
proceeding upon receipt by the corporation of:
(i)             A
written affirmation by the director of the director's good faith belief that
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the corporation as
authorized in this section has been met; and
(ii)            A
written undertaking by or on behalf of the director to repay the amount if it
shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.
(2)            The
undertaking required by subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (1) of this
subsection shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need
not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to
make the repayment.
(3)            Payments
under this subsection shall be made as provided by the charter, bylaws or
contract or as specified in subsection (e) of this section.
(g)           The
indemnification and advancement of expenses provided or authorized by this
section may not be deemed exclusive of any other rights, by indemnification or
otherwise, to which a director may be entitled under the charter, the bylaws, a
resolution of stockholders of directors, an agreement or otherwise, both as to
action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while
holding such office.
(h)           This
section does not limit the corporation's power to pay or reimburse expenses
incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a
proceeding at a time when the director has not been made a named defendant or
respondent in the proceeding.
(i)             For
purposes of this section:
(1)            The
corporation shall be deemed to have requested a director to serve an employee
benefit plan where the performance of the director's duties to the corporation
also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, the director to the
plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan:
(2)            Excise
taxes assessed on a director with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant
to applicable law shall be deemed fined; and
(3)            Action
taken or omitted by the director with respect to an employee benefit plan in
the performance of the director's duties for a purpose reasonably believed by
the director to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the
plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation.
(j)             Unless
limited by the charter:
(1)            An
officer of the corporation shall be indemnified as and to the extent provided
in subsection (d) of this section for a director and shall be entitled, to
the same extent as a director, to seek indemnification pursuant to the
provisions of subsection (d);
(2)            A
corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, or
agent of the
R-
4
corporation
to the same extent that it may indemnify directors under this section; and
(3)            A
corporation, in addition, may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer,
employee, or agent who is not a director to such further extent, consistent
with law, as may be provided by its charter, bylaws, general or specific action
of its board of directors or contract.
(k)(1)      
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.
(2)            A
corporation may provide similar protection, including a trust fund, letter of
credit, or surety bond, not inconsistent with this section.
(3)            The
insurance or similar protection may be provided by a subsidiary or an affiliate
of the corporation.
(l)             Any
indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, a director in accordance with
this section, if arising out of a proceeding by or in the right of the
corporation, shall be reported in writing to the stockholders with the notice
of the next stockholders' meeting or prior to the meeting.

ITEM 9. Undertakings.
The Registrant hereby undertakes
that it will:
(1)            file, during any period in which it offers or sells
securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to: (i) include
any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933
(the "Act"); (ii) 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 in the registration
statement; and (iii) 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.
(2)            for determining liability under the Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement relating to the securities offered,
and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
offering.
R-
5
(3)            file a post-effective amendment to remove from
registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the
offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby
undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the 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 (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 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
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the 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 of 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.
