<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s articles of incorporation provide that the liability of its directors and officers for money damages shall be eliminated to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law. Under current Maryland law, the directors are liable to the Company or its stockholders for money damages only for liability resulting from (i)&nbsp;acts or omissions committed in bad faith involving active and
deliberate dishonesty that were material to the cause of action adjudicated, as established by a final judgment, or (ii)&nbsp;actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. The Company&#146;s articles of
incorporation also provide that no amendment thereto may limit or eliminate this limitation of liability with respect to events occurring prior to the effective date of such amendment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s articles of incorporation and bylaws require it to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland law.
Under current Maryland law, the Company will indemnify (i)&nbsp;any director or officer who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a proceeding to which he was made a party by reason of his service in that capacity,
against reasonable expense incurred by him in connection with the proceeding, and (ii)&nbsp;any present or former director or officer against any claim or liability unless it is established that (a)&nbsp;his act or omission was material to the
matter giving rise to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (b)&nbsp;he actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (c)&nbsp;in the case of a
criminal proceeding, he had reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful. In addition, the Company&#146;s bylaws require it to pay or reimburse, in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable expenses incurred
by a present or former director or officer or any person who is or was serving at the Company&#146;s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, who is made a party
to a proceeding by reason of his status as a director, officer, employee or agent, to the fullest extent provided by Maryland law. Current Maryland law provides that the Company shall have received, before providing any such payment or
reimbursement, (i)&nbsp;a written affirmation by the director or officer of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by Maryland law and the Company&#146;s bylaws and
(ii)&nbsp;a written undertaking by or on his behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met. The Company&#146;s bylaws also permit it to provide
