IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR SHARES BE REPRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING. ACCORDINGLY, AFTER READING THIS PROXY STATEMENT, PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ENCLOSED WHITE UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD AND PROMPTLY SUBMIT YOUR PROXY BY INTERNET, MAIL, OR TELEPHONE AS DESCRIBED ON THE WHITE UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD. EVEN IF YOU VOTE YOUR SHARES PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING, IF YOU ARE A RECORD HOLDER OF SHARES, OR A BENEFICIAL HOLDER WHO OBTAINS A “LEGAL PROXY” FROM YOUR BROKERAGE FIRM, BANK, TRUSTEE, OR OTHER NOMINEE, YOU STILL MAY ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING.

You may receive more than one set of proxy materials depending on how you hold your shares. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or by signing, dating, and returning the enclosed WHITE universal proxy card in the enclosed envelope (if you requested a paper copy).

You may also receive more than one set of proxy materials, including multiple WHITE universal proxy cards, if you hold shares that are registered in more than one account—please vote the WHITE universal proxy card for every account you own. The latest dated proxy you submit will be counted. IF YOU WISH TO VOTE AS RECOMMENDED BY A MAJORITY OF THE BOARD, THEN YOU SHOULD ONLY SUBMIT WHITE UNIVERSAL PROXY CARDS.
