 each of the Dissident Group’s nominees on the WHITE universal proxy card. If you mark a “FOR” vote with respect to fewer than two nominees under Proposal 1, your shares will only be voted “FOR” those nominees you have marked. If you vote “FOR” more than two nominees, all of your votes on Proposal 1 will be invalid and will not be counted.

The Board does NOT endorse any of the nominees from the Dissident Group, and the presence of the Dissident Group’s nominees on the enclosed WHITE universal proxy card is NOT an approval of or comment on the fitness, character, suitability, or other qualifications of the Dissident Group’s nominees. The Board strongly urges you to NOT sign or return any NON-WHITE proxy card sent to you by, or on behalf of, the Dissident Group. If you have previously submitted a NON-WHITE proxy card sent to you by, or on behalf of, the Dissident Group, you can revoke that proxy and vote for your Board’s candidates and on the other matters to be voted on at the Annual Meeting by using the enclosed WHITE universal proxy card or voting by Internet by following the instructions specified on the WHITE universal proxy card. Only your latest dated proxy will count. OUR BOARD URGES YOU TO VOTE ONLY ON THE WHITE UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD FOR OUR BOARD’S PROPOSED CANDIDATES (TIMOTHY J. DUNN AND SUE E.

We are not responsible for the accuracy of any information provided by, or relating to, the Dissident Group or the nominees contained in any proxy solicitation materials filed or disseminated by, or on behalf of, the Dissident Group or any other statements that the Dissident Group or its representatives have made or may otherwise make.
