The appointed proxies will vote your shares of Common Stock as you instruct, unless you submit your proxy without instructions. In this case, they will vote FOR all of the director nominees listed above. If any nominee becomes unable or unwilling to stand for re-election, the board may reduce its size or designate a substitute. If a substitute is designated, proxies voting on the original nominee will be cast for the substituted nominee.

#### Vote Required
Under our bylaws, the affirmative vote of a plurality of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is required for the election of directors. This means that the director nominees with the most votes are elected, up to the number of directors to be elected. Because the number of director nominees does not exceed the number of board seats, a director nominee need only receive a single “for” vote to be elected.

“Withhold” votes and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome
