 of his or her successor and is subject to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Generally, vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board will be filled only by vote of a majority of the directors then in office although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director appointed by the Board to fill a vacancy will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director was chosen, subject to the election and qualification of his or her successor and his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

#### Nominees for Director
Mr. Flatley and Ms. Long have been nominated by the Board to stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. As the directors assigned to Class I, each of Mr. Flatley and Ms. Long's current terms of service will expire at the Annual Meeting. If elected by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting, Mr. Flatley and Ms. Long will each serve for a term expiring at our annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028 (the “2028 Annual Meeting”) and the election and qualification of his or her successor or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Each person nominated for election has agreed to serve if elected, and management has no reason to believe that any nominee will be unable to serve. If, however, prior to the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors should learn that any nominee will be unable to serve for any reason, the proxies that otherwise would have been voted for this nominee will be voted for a substitute nominee as selected by the Board. Alternatively, the proxies, at the Board’s discretion, may be voted for that fewer number of nominees as results from the inability of any nominee to serve. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the nominees will be unable to serve.
