Subject to Article I, Section 1.11 of these Bylaws, any business of the Corporation may be transacted at such annual meeting. Failure to hold an annual meeting at the designated time shall not, however, invalidate the corporate existence or affect otherwise valid corporate acts. Section 1.02. SPECIAL MEETINGS. At any time in the interval between annual meetings, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board of Directors or by the Executive Committee by vote at a meeting or in writing with or without a meeting.

Section 1.03. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place within the United States as may be designated in the notice of meeting. Section 1.04. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.

If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at his or her post office address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision for notice, a waiver of notice in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice and filed with the records of the meeting, whether before or after the holding thereof, or actual attendance at the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice to such persons. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time without 4 further notice to a date not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original record date at the same or some other place. Section 1.05. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. Each meeting of stockholders shall be conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may determine subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Charter. The Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence the Chief Executive Officer, or in their absence the person designated in writing by the Chairman of the Board, or if no person is so designated, then a person designated by the Board of Directors, shall preside as chairman of the meeting; if no person is so designated, then the meeting shall choose a chairman by a majority of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary a person designated by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary of the meeting. Section 1.06. QUORUM. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes thereat shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under statute or under the Charter of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders present in person or by proxy, by majority vote and without further notice, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date until a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. Section 1.07. VOTES REQUIRED. Unless applicable law or the Charter of the Corporation provides otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders, the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting, duly called and at which a quorum is present, shall be required to take or authorize action upon any matter which may properly come before the meeting. Unless the Charter provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; but no share shall be entitled to any vote if any installment payable thereon is overdue and unpaid. Section 1.08. PROXIES. A stockholder may vote shares of the Corporation's capital stock that are entitled to be voted and are owned of record by such stockholder either in person or by proxy in any manner permitted by Section 2- 507 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as in effect from time to time.

The Inspectors of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; shall receive votes, ballots, assents or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the vote, count and tabulate all votes, assents and consents, and determine the result; and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election and the vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request, the Inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them, and shall make and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. No such Inspector need be a stockholder of the Corporation. Section 1.11. DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS. (a) Nominations and Stockholder Business at Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

Such indemnification shall be against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person 16 in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Section 6.03. ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification provided that the individual first provides the Corporation with: (a) a written affirmation of the individual's good faith belief that the individual meets the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the laws of the State of Maryland; and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the individual to repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct has not been met. Section 6.04. GENERAL. The Board of Directors, by resolution, may authorize the management of the Corporation to act for and on behalf of the Corporation in all matters relating to indemnification within any such limits as may be specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, all consistent with applicable law. The rights conferred on any person by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter of the Corporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Repeal or modification of this Article VI or the relevant law shall not affect adversely any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such facts.
