During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding such Reporting Person is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

(the “Transfer Agreement”) with Elizabeth Oberbeck and agreed to transfer 744,183 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him to her pursuant to the terms thereof.


Except as set forth above or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed above, the Reporting Persons do not have any intention to engage in any of the transactions described in paragraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

(c) Other than Mr. Oberbeck’s transfer of 744,183 shares of Common Stock to Elizabeth Oberbeck pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, there have been no transactions in the Issuer’s Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.

(d) No person (other than the Reporting Persons and Elizabeth Oberbeck) is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Shares.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, Mr. Oberbeck transferred 744,183 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by him (the “Transferred Shares”) to Ms. Oberbeck.

However, pursuant to the terms of the Transfer Agreement, Mr. Oberbeck has retained the right to vote the Transferred Shares, except that Ms. Oberbeck has retained the right to vote the Transferred Shares with respect to any corporate action that could give rise to dissenters or other rights of an objecting shareholder under Maryland General Corporation Law. The Transfer Agreement also contains a right of first refusal that requires Ms. Oberbeck to offer Mr. Oberbeck the opportunity to purchase the Transferred Shares and any other shares of Common Stock owned by her prior to her intended sale of the shares. In addition, Ms. Oberbeck has agreed to limit any sales of the Shares to one percent of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock during any three month period until the second anniversary of the date of the Transfer Agreement.

Except as otherwise described in this Schedule 13D, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to any shares of Common Stock of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the Common Stock, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
