-votes are counted as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. Please see below under “— What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals, and how are the votes counted?”

#### Q: What is a “broker non-

#### vote”?
A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares. If you are a beneficial holder and do not provide voting instructions to your broker or other nominee, your shares will be considered to be broker non-votes and will not be voted on any proposal on which your broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority to vote. Shares that constitute broker non-votes will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining a quorum, but will not be considered entitled to vote on the proposal in question. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Brokers do not have discretionary authority, however, to vote on the election of directors to serve on our Board.

Q: What is the voting requirement to approve each of the proposals, and how are the votes counted?

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

A plurality of the votes cast by the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect each nominee named herein. This means that the three nominees receiving the highest number of votes at the Annual Meeting will be elected, even if those votes do not constitute a majority of the votes cast. Withhold votes and broker non-votes will not impact the election of the nominees, although they will be considered present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum.

PROPOSAL 2 — RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of common stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter is required to approve the ratification of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and withhold votes will be counted as present and entitled to vote on the proposals and will therefore have the effect of a negative vote. Brokers generally have discretionary authority to vote on the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Therefore,
