     | provided that the meeting has been called in accordance with the Company’s bylaws for the purpose of                                                                                                                                               
 electing directors, by a stockholder present in person or by proxy at the special meeting who is a stockholder of record both at the time the stockholder provides the notice required by the Company’s bylaws and at the time of the meeting, who 
 is entitled to vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the advance notice provisions set forth in, and provided the information and certifications required by, the Company’s bylaws.        |

The purpose of requiring stockholders to give advance notice of nominations and other proposals is to afford the Company’s board of directors the opportunity to consider the qualifications of the proposed nominees or the advisability of the other proposals and, to the extent considered necessary by the Company’s board of directors, to inform stockholders and make recommendations regarding the nominations or other proposals. The advance notice procedures also permit a more orderly procedure for conducting stockholder meetings. Although the Company’s bylaws do not give the Company’s board of directors the power to disapprove timely stockholder nominations and proposals, the Company’s bylaws may have the effect of precluding a contest for the election of directors or proposals for other action if the proper procedures are not followed, and of discouraging or deterring a third party from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors to the Company’s board of directors or to approve its own proposal. Anti-takeoverEffect of Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and the Company’s Charter and Bylaws The supermajority vote required to remove directors, the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock, the Company’s election to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 generally vesting in the Company’s board of directors the exclusive power to fill vacancies on the Company’s board of directors and the advance notice provisions of the Company’s bylaws could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control of the Company that might involve a premium price for the Company’s common stock or that the Company’s common stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests. Likewise, if the Company’s board of directors were to elect to be subject to the business combination provisions of the MGCL or the provision of Subtitle 8 providing for a classified board or if the provision in the Company’s bylaws opting out of the control share acquisition provisions of the MGCL was amended or rescinded, these provisions of the MGCL
