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.
