The Board designated Mr. Allen as a Class B director. He will serve as a member of the Audit Committee. Mr. Allen will stand for election at the Company's 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

(a) On January 28, 2009, the Board adopted certain amendments to the Bylaws of
the Company (the "Amended and Restated Bylaws"). The amendments took effect upon
adoption by the Board. The Amended and Restated Bylaws include changes for
conforming or clarification purposes to improve the consistency or form of
bylaws, as well as changes to be consistent with recent changes in Maryland
General Corporation Law and the New York Stock Exchange requirements. Among
these changes are revisions in (i) Article I, Section 1, to provide that the
annual meeting shall be held on the date and at the time set by the Board, which
is consistent with the change in Maryland General Corporation Law regarding when
annual meetings may be set by the Board; (ii) Article I, Section 3, to clarify
when notice is deemed to have been given for special meetings, provide for
"householding" of notices, and clarify the power of the Company to cancel or
postpone such meetings; (iii) Article I, Section 7(a)(1), to clarify that
compliance with clause (iii) of such section is the only means by which a
stockholder may make nominations before an annual meeting of stockholders or to
submit other business (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8
under the Exchange Act and included in the Company's notice of meeting) before
an annual meeting of stockholders; (iv) Article I, Section 7(a)(3), to clarify
and expand the information required to be set forth in notices under Article I,
Section 7, including, but not limited to, as to the stockholder, the proposed
nominee of the stockholder or any of such stockholder's affiliates, (1) whether
and to what extent such parties have in the past six months engaged in any of
the transactions enumerated therein and (2) disclosure of any substantial
interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise, of such parties
in the Company; (v) Article II, Section 11, to permit the Board or the
stockholders to ratify prior actions or inactions of the Company or its
officers, and to clarify that such actions questioned in litigation may be
ratified, and, if so ratified, shall bar any claim or execution of any judgment
as to the questioned action; (vi) Article VII, Section 1, to be consistent with
the New York Stock Exchange's recently adopted Direct Registration System
eligibility requirements; (vii) Article VII, Section 3, to clarify requirements
as to replacement certificates for shares of stock that have ceased to be
certificated; and (viii) Article XI, Section 3, to clarify the contractual
nature of indemnification rights provided under Article XI.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Bylaws, marked to show the amendments, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3(ii) and hereby incorporated by reference.
