Miscellaneous

Cost of Soliciting Proxies

The Company will bear the expense of soliciting proxies for this meeting, including mailing costs of the Notice, except for some costs associated with individual stockholders' use of the Internet or telephone. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers and other employees may also solicit proxies personally or by telephone or other means of electronic communication but will not receive specific compensation for any such solicitation. We may reimburse brokerage firms and others holding stock in their names or in names of nominees for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in sending proxy materials to principals and beneficial owners.

In addition to mailing copies of the Notice and mailing or making available the related proxy materials to stockholders, we will request that persons who hold stock in their names or custody, or in the name of nominees, for the benefit of others, forward copies of these materials to the beneficial owners of our stock and request the authority to execute the proxies. Stockholders who do not intend to be present at the meeting are urged to send in their proxies without delay or vote their proxies by telephone or through the Internet. Your prompt response is greatly appreciated.
