YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THE ENTIRE PROSPECTUS, INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE INTO THIS PROSPECTUS, BEFORE MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION. OVERVIEW Telkonet, Inc. was formed in 1999 to develop products for use in the powerline communications (PLC) industry. PLC products use existing electrical wiring in commercial buildings and residences to carry high speed data communications signals, including the Internet. Since Telkonet's formation, it has worked on the development and marketing of its PLC technology. Telkonet's PLC technology, the "PlugPlus(TM)" product suite, consists of three separate components, the Gateway, the Coupler and the iBridge. The Gateway, the hub of the PlugPlus(TM) product suite, is a modular, self-contained unit that accepts data from an existing network on one port and distributes it via a second port. The Gateway integrates a communications processor that runs a series of proprietary applications under Linux. The signal generated by the Gateway can be directly coupled into low voltage wiring via the Coupler, which interfaces directly between the Gateway and the building's electrical panel. Multi-panel buildings typically require multiple Couplers, which are connected to the Gateway via inexpensive coaxial cable and concentrated using standard radio frequency splitters. A suite of software applications running on the Gateway can perform communications functions or system management functions. The iBridge serves as the user's network access device and connects to a user's personal computer through a standard Ethernet cable. The iBridge's AC line cord serves as its power source as well as its network interface. Telkonet also offers the eXtender, a fourth optional device, as part of its PlugPlus(TM) product suite. The eXtender is used to extend the reach of the Gateway in larger buildings or campus environments. The PlugPlus(TM) product suite delivers data to the user at speeds in excess of 7 Mega bits per second (Mbps), with burst speeds of 12.6 Mbps. The PlugPlus(TM) product suite is installed by connecting an incoming broadband signal (DSL, TL, satellite or cable modem) into the Gateway and connecting the Gateway to a building's electrical panel using one or more Couplers. Once installed, the Gateway distributes the high-speed Internet signal throughout the entire existing network of electrical wires within the building. The user may access a high-speed Internet signal by plugging the iBridge into any electrical outlet and connecting a personal computer to the iBridge using the computer's built-in Ethernet port. Multiple personal computers connected to the iBridge can communicate with one another and can share a single broadband resource via the Gateway. In September 2002, Telkonet confirmed through an independent, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certified testing lab that its PLC product line meets the FCC technical requirements for Class A digital devices. In June 2003, Telkonet confirmed that its PLC product line also meets the requirements for Class B digital devices. As a result, no further testing of these products is required and the devices may be manufactured and marketed for commercial or residential use. The FCC permits the operation of unlicensed digital devices that radiate radio frequency emissions if the manufacturer complies with certain equipment authorization procedures, technical requirements, marketing restrictions and product labeling requirements. 1 Telkonet has applied for patents that cover its unique technology and has utilized the recently announced advancements in transmission speeds to build its next generation of products that will be launched into the hospitality market. Telkonet continues to identify, design and develop enhancements to its core technologies that will provide additional functionality, diversification of application and desirability for current and future users. Telkonet intends to protect this intellectual property by filing additional patent applications. In September 2003, Telkonet received approval from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its "Method and Apparatus for Providing Telephonic Communication Services" patent. Notwithstanding the issuance of this patent, there can be no assurance that any of Telkonet's current or future patent applications will be granted, or, if granted, that such patents will provide necessary protection for Telkonet's technology or its product offerings, or be of commercial benefit to Telkonet. During the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company spent $1,370,785 and $1,279,145 on research and development activities, respectively. The primary developments arising from these research and development efforts included improved network reach with the introduction of Telkonet's secondary gateway, the introduction of an encrypted key-change-over-powerline feature to ease security management, an improved ability to remotely monitor network status and the addition of a VLAN support function for enhanced integration with subscriber management and billing systems. Telkonet's current focus is the reduction of total solution cost and improved performance, streamlined installation and a reduction in the time and cost of installation and developing a low-cost "plug and play" system for home networking applications. Telkonet is a member of the HomePlug(TM) Powerline Alliance, an industry trade group that engages in marketing and educational initiatives, and sets standards and specifications for products, in the powerline communications industry. Telkonet's principal executive offices are located at 902 A Commerce Road, Annapolis, Maryland 21401. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS On January 24, 2004, Telkonet's common stock was listed for trading on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TKO." Prior to January 24, 2004, Telkonet's common stock was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "TLKO.OB." On February 18, 2004, Telkonet completed a private offering of its common stock resulting in net proceeds to Telkonet of approximately $12.8 million. The Company sold 6,387,600 shares of its common stock in the private offering at a price equal to the average closing price per share over the 30 trading days ending February 5, 2004, discounted by 18.0%. CDC Securities, Inc. acted as Telkonet's placement agent in the transaction. CDC Securities is an indirect subsidiary of the French bank CDC IXIS. The shares of Telkonet common stock sold in the private offering are included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. 2 On April 15, 2004 the Company will relocate its principal executive offices to 20374 Seneca Meadows Parkway, Germantown, Maryland 20876. The Company has executed a sub-lease agreement through November 2010 for approximately 11,600 square feet of commercial office space. The Company is responsible for an allocated portion of the build-out cost of the Germantown facility. The Company anticipates that it will spend approximately $400,000 in connection with this relocation, which includes aggregate build-out costs, security deposit, office furniture and telephone equipment. As of December 31, 2003, the Company has incurred approximately $50,000 in build-out costs and has paid to the landlord approximately $70,000 as a security deposit for the Germantown facility. 3 RISK FACTORS An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement before deciding to purchase any shares of our common stock. TELKONET IS EMERGING FROM ITS DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND HAS NO OPERATING HISTORY ON WHICH TO BASE AN EVALUATION OF ITS CURRENT BUSINESS AND FUTURE PROSPECTS. Telkonet is emerging from its development stage. As a result, it has no operating history upon which to base an evaluation of its current business and future prospects. The first PlugPlus(TM) product was introduced in July 2001. Since our formation, have not generated substantial revenues. Moreover, we do not currently have any contracts in place that will provide any significant revenue. Because of our lack of an operating history, management has limited insight into trends that may emerge and could materially adversely affect our business. Prospective investors should consider the risks and difficulties our company may encounter in its new and rapidly evolving market, especially given our lack of operating history. These risks include our ability to: o market the PlugPlus(TM)product suite; o build a customer base; o generate revenues; o compete favorably in a highly competitive market; o access sufficient capital to support growth; o recruit and retain qualified employees; o introduce new products and services; and o build technology and support systems. WE HAVE A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT AND WE EXPECT TO CONTINUE TO INCUR LOSSES FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. Since inception through December 31, 2003, we have incurred cumulative losses of $14,116,612 and have never generated enough funds through our operations to support our business. We expect to continue to incur substantial operating losses through 2004. Our losses to date have resulted principally from: o research and development costs relating to the development of our PlugPlus(TM)product suite; o costs and expenses associated with manufacturing, distribution and marketing of our products; 4 o general and administrative costs relating to our operations; and o interest expense related to our Series A and Series B Debentures and our Senior Notes. We are currently unprofitable and may never become profitable. Since inception, we have funded our research and development activities primarily from private placements of equity and debt securities, a bank loan and short term loans from certain of our executive officers. As a result of our substantial research and development expenditures and limited product revenues, we have incurred substantial net losses. Our ability to achieve profitability will depend primarily on our ability to successfully commercialize the PlugPlus(TM) product suite. POTENTIAL FLUCTUATIONS IN OPERATING RESULTS COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON THE PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. Our operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future as a result of a variety of factors, most of which are outside our control, including: o the level of use of the Internet; o the demand for high-tech goods; o the amount and timing of capital expenditures and other costs relating to the expansion of our operations; o price competition or pricing changes in the industry; o technical difficulties or system downtime; o economic conditions specific to the internet and communications industry; and o general economic conditions. Our quarterly results may also be significantly impacted by certain accounting treatment of acquisitions, financing transactions or other matters. Such accounting treatment could have a material impact on the results for any quarter and have a negative impact on the price of our common stock. OUR DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OWN A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF OUR ISSUED AND OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK. THEIR OWNERSHIP COULD ALLOW THEM TO EXERCISE SIGNIFICANT CONTROL OVER CORPORATE DECISIONS. As of December 31, 2003, our officers and directors owned 24.6% of our common stock. This means that our officers and directors, as a group, exercise significant control over matters upon which our stockholders may vote, including the selection of the Board of Directors, mergers, acquisitions and other significant corporate transactions. 5 FURTHER ISSUANCES OF EQUITY SECURITIES MAY BE DILUTIVE TO CURRENT STOCKHOLDERS. Although the funds raised in our private placement of debt and equity securities are being used for general working capital purposes, it is likely that we will be required to seek additional capital in the future. This capital funding could involve one or more types of equity securities, including convertible debt, common or convertible preferred stock and warrants to acquire common or preferred stock. Such equity securities could be issued at or below the then-prevailing market price for our common stock. Any issuance of additional shares of our common stock will be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. THE EXERCISE OF OPTIONS AND WARRANTS OUTSTANDING AND AVAILABLE FOR ISSUANCE MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK. As of December 31, 2003, we had outstanding employee options to purchase a total of 8,293,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $3.68 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.19. As of December 31, 2003, the Company had outstanding non-employee options to purchase a total of 3,267,500 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. As of December 31, 2003, we had warrants outstanding to purchase a total of 5,159,490 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.53 to $2.97 per share, with a weighted average exercise price of $1.01. In addition, as of December 31, 2003, we had 3,439,500 additional shares of common stock which may be issued in the future under the Telkonet, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the sale in the public market of the shares purchased upon such exercise will be dilutive to existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. THE POWERLINE COMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY IS INTENSELY COMPETITIVE AND RAPIDLY EVOLVING. We operate in a highly competitive, quickly changing environment, and our future success depends on our ability to develop and introduce new products and product enhancements that achieve broad market acceptance in commercial and governmental sectors. Our future success will depend, in large part, upon our ability to identify demand trends in the commercial and governmental sectors and quickly develop, manufacture and sell products that satisfy these demands in a cost effective manner. We will also need to respond effectively to new product announcements by our competitors by quickly introducing competitive products. Delays in product development and introduction could result in: o loss of or delay in revenue and loss of market share; o negative publicity and damage to our reputation and brand; and o decline in the average selling price of our products. GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF OUR PRODUCTS COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SELL SUCH PRODUCTS IN CERTAIN MARKETS. FCC rules permit the operation of unlicensed digital devices that radiate radio frequency emissions if the manufacturer complies with certain equipment authorization procedures, technical requirements, marketing restrictions and product labeling requirements. Differing technical requirements apply to "Class A" devices intended for use in commercial settings, and "Class 6 B" devices intended for residential use to which more stringent standards apply. An independent, FCC-certified testing lab has verified that our PlugPlus(TM) product suite complies with the FCC technical requirements for Class A and Class B digital devices. No further testing of these devices is required and the devices may be manufactured and marketed for commercial and residential use. Additional devices designed by us for commercial and residential use will be subject to the FCC rules for unlicensed digital devices. Moreover, if in the future, the FCC changes its technical requirements for unlicensed digital devices, further testing and/or modifications of devices may be necessary. Failure to comply with any FCC technical requirements could impair our ability to sell our products in certain markets and could have a negative impact on our business and results of operations. PRODUCTS SOLD BY OUR COMPETITORS COULD BECOME MORE POPULAR THAN OUR PRODUCTS OR RENDER OUR PRODUCTS OBSOLETE. The market for powerline communications products is highly competitive. Although we are presently the only company marketing PLC products to the commercial segment, Linksys Group, Inc. and Netgear, Inc. offer similar PLC solutions for the residential market. There can be no assurance that Linksys Group, Netgear or any other company will not develop PLC products that compete with our products in the future. These potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater name recognition and substantially greater financial, technical, sales, marketing and other resources. These potential competitors may, among other things, undertake more extensive marketing campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing policies, obtain more favorable pricing from suppliers and manufacturers and exert more influence on the sales channel than we can. As a result, we may not be able to compete successfully with these potential competitors and these potential competitors may develop or market technologies and products that are more widely accepted than those being developed by us or that would render our products obsolete or noncompetitive. We anticipate that potential competitors will also intensify their efforts to penetrate our target markets. These potential competitors may have more advanced technology, more extensive distribution channels, stronger brand names, bigger promotional budgets and larger customer bases than we do. These companies could devote more capital resources to develop, manufacture and market competing products than we could. If any of these companies are successful in competing against us, our sales could decline, our margins could be negatively impacted, and we could lose market share, any of which could seriously harm our business and results of operations. THE FAILURE OF THE INTERNET TO CONTINUE AS AN ACCEPTED MEDIUM FOR BUSINESS COMMERCE COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Our long-term viability is substantially dependent upon the continued widespread acceptance and use of the Internet as a medium for business commerce. The Internet has experienced, and is expected to continue to experience, significant growth in the number of users. There can be no assurance that the Internet infrastructure will continue to be able to support the demands placed on it by this continued growth. In addition, delays in the development or adoption of new standards and protocols to handle increased levels of Internet activity or increased governmental regulation could slow or stop the growth of the Internet as a viable medium for business commerce. Moreover, critical issues concerning the commercial use of the Internet (including security, reliability, accessibility and quality of service) remain unresolved and may adversely affect the growth of Internet use or the attractiveness of its use for business commerce. The failure of the necessary infrastructure to further develop in a timely manner or the failure of the Internet to continue to develop rapidly as a valid medium for business would have a negative impact on our results of operations. 7 FAILURE OF OUR SERVICES AND PRODUCTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THE MARKETPLACE COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Since we are just emerging from our development stage, we do not know with any certainty whether our services and/or products will be accepted within the business marketplace. If our services and/or products prove to be unsuccessful within the marketplace, or if we fail to attain market acceptance, it could have a negative effect on our results of operations. WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN PATENTS, WHICH COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS. Our ability to compete effectively in the powerline technology industry will depend on our success in acquiring suitable patent protection. We also have several patents pending. We intend to file additional patent applications that we deem to be economically beneficial. If we are not successful in obtaining patents, or protecting issued patents against infringement, we will have limited protection against those who might copy our technology. As a result, the failure to obtain and defend patents could negatively impact our business and results of operations. In September 2003, Telkonet received approval from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for its "Method and Apparatus for Providing Telephonic Communication Services" patent. Notwithstanding the issuance of this patent, there can be no assurance that any of Telkonet's current or future patent applications will be granted, or, if granted, that such patents will provide necessary protection for Telkonet's technology or its product offerings, or be of commercial benefit to Telkonet. INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES ON OUR PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT OF SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY BY OUR COMPETITORS COULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS. Our success depends partly on our ability to maintain patent and trade secret protection, to obtain future patents and licenses, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of third parties. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken to protect our intellectual property, including those integrated to our PlugPlus(TM) product suite, will prevent misappropriation or circumvention. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patent application, when filed, will result in an issued patent, or that our existing patents, or any patents that may be issued in the future, will provide us with significant protection against competitors. Moreover, there can be no assurance that any patents issued to, or licensed by, us will not be infringed upon or circumvented by others. Infringement by third parties on our proprietary technology could negatively impact our business. Litigation to establish the validity of patents, to assert infringement claims against others, and to defend against patent infringement claims can be expensive and time-consuming, even if the outcome is in our favor. We also rely to a lesser extent on unpatented proprietary technology, and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information, techniques or processes or that we can meaningfully protect our rights to such unpatented proprietary technology. Development of substantially equivalent technology by our competitors could negatively impact our business. WE DEPEND ON A SMALL TEAM OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT, AND WE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY ATTRACTING AND RETAINING ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL. Our future success will depend in large part upon the continued services and performance of senior management and other key personnel. If we lose the services of any member of our senior management team, our overall operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, our future success will depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and 8 customer service personnel when they are needed. Competition for these individuals is intense. We cannot ensure that we will be able to successfully attract, integrate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel when the need arises. Any failure to attract and retain the necessary technical, managerial, marketing, purchasing and customer service personnel could have a negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest may, from time to time, sell all or a portion of the shares at fixed prices that may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such market prices or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may offer their shares at various times in one or more of the following transactions: o on any national securities exchange, or other market on which our common stock may be listed at the time of sale; o in the over-the-counter market; o through block trades in which the broker or dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; o through purchases by a broker or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account pursuant to this prospectus; o in ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; o through options, swaps or derivatives; o in privately negotiated transactions; o in transactions to cover short sales; and o through a combination of any such methods of sale. In addition, the selling stockholders may also sell their shares that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 under the terms of such rule rather than pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders may sell their shares directly to purchasers or may use brokers, dealers, underwriters or agents to sell their shares upon terms and conditions that will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. In effecting sales, brokers and dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Brokers or dealers may receive commissions, discounts or concessions from a selling stockholder or, if any such broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of such shares, from such purchaser in amounts to be negotiated. Such compensation may, but is not expected to, exceed that which is customary for the types of transactions involved. Broker-dealers may agree with a selling stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share, and, to the extent such broker-dealer is unable to do so acting as agent for a selling stockholder, to purchase as principal any unsold shares at the price required to fulfill the broker-dealer commitment to the selling stockholders. Broker-dealers who acquire shares as principal may thereafter resell such shares from time to time in transactions, which may involve block transactions and sales to and through other broker-dealers, including transactions of the nature described above, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise at prices and on terms then prevailing at the time of sale, at prices then related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. In connection with such resales, broker-dealers may pay to or receive from the purchasers of such shares commissions as described above. 14 The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that participate with the selling stockholders in sales of the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933. From time to time the selling stockholders may be engaged in short sales, short sales against the box, puts and calls and other hedging transactions in our securities, to the extent permitted by applicable law and exchange regulations, and may sell and deliver the shares in connection with such transactions or in settlement of securities loans. These transactions may be entered into with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In addition, from time to time, a selling stockholder may pledge its shares pursuant to the margin provisions of its customer agreements with its broker-dealer. Upon delivery of the shares or a default by a selling stockholder, the broker-dealer or financial institution may offer and sell the pledged shares from time to time.

The following table sets forth the expenses in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered, all of which are being borne by the registrant.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Reference is made to Section 16-10a-902 of the Utah Business Corporation Act, which enables Telkonet to indemnify an individual made a party to a proceeding because he is or was a director of Telkonet if (i) his conduct was in good faith, (ii) he reasonably believed his conduct was in, or not opposed to, Telkonet's best interests, and (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Telkonet may not indemnify a director (i) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation, or (ii) in connection with any other proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which proceeding he was adjudged liable on the basis that he derived an improper personal benefit. The Utah Business Corporation Act also permits Telkonet to purchase insurance on behalf of any person that is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of Telkonet. Telkonet's amended and restated articles of incorporation provide in effect for the elimination of the personal liability of Telkonet's directors and for the indemnification by Telkonet of each director and officer of Telkonet, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Telkonet purchases and maintains insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of Telkonet against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not Telkonet would have the power or the obligation to indemnify him or her against such liability under the provisions of Telkonet's amended and restated articles of incorporation. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed 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. 18 ITEM 16.

(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 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. 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 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 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. 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 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. 20 SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Annapolis, State of Maryland, on the 13th. day of April, 2004.
