amended, Article II, Section 1 provides that the annual meeting will be held in

meeting of shareholders. As amended, Article III, Section 1(b) provides that the
members of the Board of Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes
cast at a meeting of shareholders. This amendment was made to conform the
registrant's Bylaws to Section 2-404(d) of the Maryland General Corporation Law.
