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 Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable.&#160; 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.</p>

for which there has been filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8
relating to the same employee benefit plan.
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 (i) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in
money, property or services or (ii) active and deliberate dishonesty
established by a final judgment as being material to the cause of action. Our
charter contains a provision that eliminates such liability to the maximum
extent permitted by the MGCL.
Our charter
authorizes us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to obligate
ourselves to indemnify and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance
of final disposition of a proceeding to (i) any present or former director
or officer or (ii) any individual who, while a director of us and at our
request, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer,
partner or trustee from and against any claim or liability to which such person
may become subject or to which such person may incur by reason of his or her
serving as a present or former director or officer of us.
Our bylaws
obligate us, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, to indemnify and
to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a
proceeding to (i) any present or former director or officer who is made,
or threatened to be made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her
service in that capacity or (ii) any individual who, while a director or
officer of us and at our request, serves or has served another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise
as a director, officer, partner or trustee and who is made, or threatened to be
made, a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Our charter and bylaws also permit us, with the approval of our board
of directors, to indemnify and advance expenses to any person who served our
predecessor in any of the capacities described above and to any of our
employees or agents or our predecessor.
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 or she is made a
party by reason of his or her service in that capacity. 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 proceeding 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 (i) the act or
omission of the director or officer 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, (ii) the director or officer actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) 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 for an adverse judgment in a
suit by or in the right of the
2
corporation or for
a judgment of liability on the basis that 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 to a director or officer upon the corporation's receipt of (a) a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by
the corporation and (b) a written undertaking by him or her or on his or
her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the corporation if it
shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
Each of the
indemnification agreements with our executive officers require that we
indemnify such officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, and to
pay such persons' expenses in defending any civil or criminal proceeding in
advance of final disposition of such proceeding.

UNDERTAKINGS
1.
The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)
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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any 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 Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if,
in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20%
change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of
Registration Fee" table in the effective 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 (a)(i) and (a)(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.
3
(b)
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
herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
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.
(d)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the
registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial
distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a
primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration
statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to
the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means
of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a
seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities
to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary
prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing
prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned
registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any
other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material
information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or
on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other
communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned
registrant to the purchaser.
2.
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 the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
3.
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 Securities and Exchange 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.
