 Support
Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) includes explicit supermajority voting requirements to approve amendments to several Charter provisions addressing core governance matters. Our Amended and Restated Bylaws do not contain any supermajority voting requirements. The Board believes that there are advantages and disadvantages to maintaining the Charter’s explicit supermajority voting requirements. For example, the Company’s five largest stockholders collectively own approximately 56% of our outstanding shares, so lowering these supermajority voting standards could allow these large stockholders to have greater influence over the Company’s corporate structure and governance matters. However, the Board recognizes that many investors support removing explicit supermajority voting requirements. After weighing these matters, the Board has determined to recommend votes “FOR” the stockholder proposal.

#### Additional Information
If approved at the Annual Meeting, the stockholder proposal would not automatically remove the explicit supermajority voting requirements in our Charter. In order to eliminate such requirements, the Charter requires that the Board recommend the Charter amendments to stockholders and that stockholders approve the amendments. Therefore, the Board will view a vote in favor of the stockholder proposal as a recommendation that the Board initiate the amendment process to remove the explicit supermajority voting requirements in our Charter.
