#### Meetings of Stockholders
Under our bylaws and pursuant to Maryland law, annual meetings of stockholders will be held each year at a date and at the time and place determined by our Board. Special meetings of stockholders may be called by our Board, the chairman of our Board, our president or our chief executive officer. Additionally, subject to the provisions of our bylaws, special meetings of the stockholders to act on any matter must be called by our secretary upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast not less than 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our secretary is only required to call a special meeting regarding a matter that is substantially the same as a matter voted on at a special meeting held during the preceding twelve months upon the written request of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. In each case, stockholders requesting a special meeting must comply with the procedures set forth in, and provide the information and certifications required by, our bylaws. Only matters set forth in the notice of the special meeting may be considered and acted upon at such a meeting. Our secretary will inform the requesting stockholders of the reasonably estimated cost of preparing and delivering the notice of meeting (including our proxy materials), and the requesting stockholder or stockholders must pay such estimated cost before our secretary may prepare and deliver the notice of the special meeting.
