Indemnification of Directors and Officers.</B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Section
2-418 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (or Maryland General Corporation Law or MGCL) provides that a Maryland
corporation may indemnify any director or officer of a corporation who is made
a party to any proceeding because of service in that capacity unless it is

<P><FONT SIZE=2>matter giving rise to the
proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty; or the person actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services; or, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission
was unlawful. Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or
officer in connection with the proceeding, but 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 or officer shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. Such indemnification may not be made unless
authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made, in
the manner prescribed by the law, that indemnification is permissible in the
circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard
of conduct. On the other hand, unless limited by the corporation&#146;s charter, the
director or officer must be indemnified for expenses if he has been successful
in the defense of the proceeding or as otherwise ordered by a court. The law
also prescribes the circumstances under which the corporation may advance
expenses to, or obtain insurance or similar protection for, directors and
officers.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company&#146;s charter provides that the Company&#146;s directors, officers, employees,
and agents, in the discretion of the Company&#146;s board of directors, may be
indemnified to the fullest extent required or permitted from time to time by
the laws of Maryland.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Maryland General Corporation Law permits the charter of a Maryland corporation
to include a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to
the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except to the extent
that (i) it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or
profit in money, property or services for the amount of the benefit or profit
in money, property or services actually received, or (ii) a judgment or other
final adjudication is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the
person&#146;s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty or committed in bad faith and was material to the cause of action
adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company&#146;s charter contains a provision
providing for elimination of the liability of the Company&#146;s directors and
officers to the Company or the Company&#146;s stockholders for money damages to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company maintains policies of insurance under which the Company&#146;s directors and
officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the
policies, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or
proceedings resulting from such director or officer being or having been a
director or officer, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result
of these actions, suits or proceedings.</FONT></P>

 transactions or events, including any stock dividend, stock split,
 recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the
 receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of the
 registrant's outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Calculated
in accordance with Rule 457(h) and Rule 457(c) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, based upon the average of the high and low prices of the

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section
2-418 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of
Maryland (or Maryland General Corporation Law or MGCL) provides that a Maryland
corporation may indemnify any director or officer of a corporation who is made
a party to any proceeding because of service in that capacity unless it is
established that the act or omission of the director or officer was material to
the
1
matter giving rise to the
proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty; or the person actually received an improper personal
benefit in money, property or services; or, in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission
was unlawful. Indemnification may be against judgments, penalties, fines,
settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by the director or
officer in connection with the proceeding, but 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 or officer shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the corporation. Such indemnification may not be made unless
authorized for a specific proceeding after a determination has been made, in
the manner prescribed by the law, that indemnification is permissible in the
circumstances because the director or officer has met the applicable standard
of conduct. On the other hand, unless limited by the corporation's charter, the
director or officer must be indemnified for expenses if he has been successful
in the defense of the proceeding or as otherwise ordered by a court. The law
also prescribes the circumstances under which the corporation may advance
expenses to, or obtain insurance or similar protection for, directors and
officers.
The
Company's charter provides that the Company's directors, officers, employees,
and agents, in the discretion of the Company's board of directors, may be
indemnified to the fullest extent required or permitted from time to time by
the laws of Maryland.
The
Maryland General Corporation Law permits the charter of a Maryland corporation
to include a provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to
the corporation and its stockholders for money damages except to the extent
that (i) it is proved that the person actually received an improper benefit or
profit in money, property or services for the amount of the benefit or profit
in money, property or services actually received, or (ii) a judgment or other
final adjudication is entered in a proceeding based on a finding that the
person's action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate
dishonesty or committed in bad faith and was material to the cause of action
adjudicated in the proceeding. The Company's charter contains a provision
providing for elimination of the liability of the Company's directors and
officers to the Company or the Company's stockholders for money damages to the
maximum extent permitted by Maryland law.
The
Company maintains policies of insurance under which the Company's directors and
officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the
policies, against expenses in connection with the defense of actions, suits or
proceedings resulting from such director or officer being or having been a
director or officer, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result
of these actions, suits or proceedings.

Undertakings.
a.
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:
2
i.
To include any prospectus
 required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
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:
A.
Paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
 (a)(1)(ii) of this section 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 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
 the registration statement; and
2.
That, for the purpose of
 determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 of 1933, 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 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.
c.
Insofar as
 indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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
3
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 whether such
 indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
 will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
