Amendments to Our Charter and Bylaws

Except for those amendments permitted to be made without stockholder approval under the MGCL or our charter and subject to the terms of any class or series of preferred stock, our charter generally may be amended only if the amendment is first declared advisable by the Board and thereafter approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
