Item 4.    Description of Securities

Not Applicable

Item 5.    Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

Not Applicable

Item 6.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Article 13 of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that an officer or director of the Registrant shall not be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for money damages, except: (A) to the extent that 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; (B) to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the person is entered in a proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the person’s action, or failure to act, was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding; or (C) to the extent otherwise provided by the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”).   Article 12
 
 
II-1

 
 
of the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation provides that the Registrant shall indemnify and advance expenses to its current and former directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by the MGCL.

The MGCL provides for indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents in certain circumstances.  MGCL Section 2-418 provides that a corporation may indemnify a 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 was committed in bad faith or was the result of dishonesty; (ii) the director actually received an improper personal benefit; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.  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 liable to the corporation.

Unless limited by a corporation’s charter, the MGCL provides that a director who has been successful in the defense of any proceeding to which the director was made a party by reason of service in that capacity shall be indemnified against reasonable expenses incurred.  This protection extends to officers as well.  The MGCL provides  a mechanism for court-ordered indemnification.

Item 9.    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: (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 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 in such information in the registration statement; provided, however, that clauses (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section
 
 
II-2

 
 
13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

2.           That, for the purposes 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 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 the 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 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 the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 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 of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
