 to your bank, broker or other nominee, then whether your shares can be voted by such person will depend on the type of item being considered for vote. Proposals 1, 2 and 4 are “non-routine” matters under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and therefore they may not be voted on by brokers, banks or other nominees who have not received specific voting instructions from beneficial owners (so called “broker non-votes”). Proposal 3 is a “routine” matter under NYSE rules and therefore a matter on which banks, brokers and other nominees that do not receive voting instructions from beneficial owners may generally vote on this proposal in their discretion.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

In order for us to conduct the Annual Meeting, the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote must be present, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting. This is referred to as a quorum. Your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you do one of the following:

| • | Vote via the Internet or by telephone; |

| • | Return a properly executed proxy by mail; or |

| • | Attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. |

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If a quorum is not present at the Annual Meeting, then it is expected that the Annual Meeting will be adjourned or postponed to solicit additional proxies.

What vote is required to elect directors and approve the other proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting?
