the board of directors, and shall be called by the secretary upon written
request by stockholders entitled to cast 25 percent of all votes entitled to be
cast at the meeting stating the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed
to be acted upon at the meeting and upon payment by such stockholders to the
corporation of the costs of the notice of the meeting. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a special meeting need not be called by the secretary to consider any
matter which is substantially the same as a matter voted on at any special
meeting of the stockholders held during the preceding 12 months unless requested
by stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at
the meeting.

matter which properly comes before the meeting unless

- 1 -




the vote of a greater proportion of all the votes cast or voting by classes is
required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or the charter.

Section 6. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a
stockholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his

at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares
at any given time.

consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a stockholder,
the corporation shall be entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment and give it effect as the act of the stockholder.

If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment does not correspond to the name of its stockholder, the corporation
shall nevertheless be entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment and give it effect as the act of the stockholder if:

a. The stockholder is a corporation, and the name signed
purports to be that of the president, a vice-president, or a proxy
appointed by either of them or by another person appointed under a

the stockholder.
