  effect are referred to herein as the former Bylaws.
  Article
  II.        Stockholders
  Timing of
  Annual Meeting of Stockholders
  . Maryland law formerly required that the
  bylaws name either the day of the annual meeting or a 31-day period in which
  such annual meeting must be held. Maryland law now provides that the annual
  meeting shall be held as set forth in the bylaws, and the amended Bylaws give
  the Board of Directors the discretion to set the date of the Annual Meeting.
  Notice of
  Stockholder Meetings
  .  The amended Bylaws provide that notice and the
  waiver of such notice may be given by electronic transmission in addition to
  written notice as provided under the former Bylaws. In addition, the amended
  Bylaws give the Company the ability to take advantage of the "householding"
  rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and to postpone a meeting to a
  date not more than 120 days after the original record date.
  Quorum
  and Adjournment of Stockholder Meetings
  .  The amended Bylaws clarify
  that stockholders present either in person or by proxy at a meeting which has
  been duly called and convened may continue to transact business until the
  adjournment or postponement of that meeting, notwithstanding the withdrawal of
  enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
  Proxies
  .  The
  amended Bylaws allow a stockholder to use facsimile signatures and other
  electronic methods of communication to authorize a proxy.
  Organization of
  Meeting
  .  A new section of the amended Bylaws gives the Chairman (or
  other designated officers in his absence) the authority to conduct all meetings
