  Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law permits the

corporations.  Article Eighth of the Registrant's Restated Articles of
Incorporation (the "Articles") authorizes the indemnification of directors
and officers to the full extent required or permitted by the General Laws of
the State of Maryland, now or hereafter in force, whether such persons are
serving the Registrant, or, at its request, any other entity, which
indemnification shall include the advance of expenses under the procedures
and to the full extent permitted by law.  Article Eighth further provides
that the foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any
other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled and that
no amendment or repeal of Article Eighth shall apply to or have any effect
on any right to indemnification provided thereunder with respect to acts or
omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.  In addition, the
Registrant's officers and directors are covered by certain directors' and
officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Registrant. 
Reference is made to Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law
and Article Eighth of the Articles, which are incorporated herein by
reference.

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; and 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.

  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 offer 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 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act or 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to deliver or cause to
be delivered with the prospectus, to each person to whom the prospectus is
sent or given, the latest annual report to security holders that is
incorporated by reference in the prospectus and furnished pursuant to and
meeting the


                              3 out of 9 pages
requirements of Rule 14a-3 or Rule 14c-3 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934; and, where interim financial information required to be presented
by Article 3 of Regulation S-X is not set forth in the prospectus, to
deliver, or cause to be delivered to each person to whom the prospectus is
sent or given, the latest quarterly report that is specifically incorporated
by reference in the prospectus to provide such interim financial information. 


  (d) 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
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.
