Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of
Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a provision that limits the liability of its directors and officers to
the corporation and its stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty which is established by
a final judgment and is material to the cause of action. The Companys charter contains a provision that will limit, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, the liability of our directors and officers to the
Company and its stockholders for money damages.
Maryland law requires a Maryland corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Companys 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 or threatened to be made a party by reason of his or her
service in that capacity. Maryland law permits a Maryland 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 that capacity unless it is established that:
|
|
|
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty;
|
|
|
|
the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or
|
|
|
|
in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.
|
A court may order indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification, even
though the director or officer did not meet the prescribed standard of conduct or was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received. However indemnification for an adverse judgment in a suit by the corporation or in its
right, or for a judgment of liability on the basis that the personal benefit was improperly received, will be limited to expenses.
In
addition, Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon 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 and (b) a written undertaking by him or her on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed if it is ultimately determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
The Companys charter and bylaws require, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, that the Company indemnify and pay or
reimburse the reasonable expenses in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding of (a) any present or former director or officer and (b) any individual who, while a director or officer and, at the Companys request, serves or
has served another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee from and against any claim or liability to which he or she may
become subject or which he or she may incur by reason of his or her service in any of the foregoing capacities. The Companys charter and bylaws also permits it to indemnify and advance expenses to any individual who served its predecessor in
any of the capacities described above and any employee or agent of Company or its predecessor.
The Company has purchased insurance with
respect to, among other things, any liabilities that may arise under the statutory provisions referred to above.

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;
|
|
(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
|
3
|
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; 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 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 Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
|
(2)
|
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 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, each filing of the Registrants annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or
section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plans 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 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 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 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.
