<div align='center'>“HOUSEHOLDING” OF PROXY MATERIALS</div>

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokers, banks, trustees and other nominees) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

A number of banks, brokers, trustees and other nominees with account holders who are our stockholders may be householding our proxy materials. A single Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, proxy statement and Annual Report to Stockholders may be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received by the Company from one or more of the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your bank, broker, trust or other nominee that it will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, Proxy Statement and Annual Report to Stockholders, please notify your bank, broker, trust or other nominee and also send a copy of your request to the Company c/o Cherie Barrett, Assistant Vice President/Corporate Secretary, 4510 Lower Beckleysville Road, Suite H, Hampstead, Maryland 21074 or call 410-374-1510 ext. 1103. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of this proxy statement at their address and would like to request householding of their communications should contact their bank, broker, trust or other nominee and also send a copy of your request to the Company at the above address or call the above phone number.
