 sought, to permit the further solicitation of proxies. 2 Vote Required Election of Directors.In an uncontested election, a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director. In a contested election, a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director. Mr.Jonathan H. Cohen must be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting by holders of our outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class. Mr. Mark J. Ashenfelter must be elected by a plurality of votes cast at the Annual Meeting solely by holders of our outstanding Preferred Stock, voting as a single class. If you vote “Withhold” with respect to a nominee, your shares will not be voted with respect to such nominee. Stockholders may not cumulate their votes. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will have no effect on this proposal. Since brokers or nominees will not have discretionary authority to vote shares in the absence of voting instructions from stockholders, we expect that there will be no Broker Non -Voteson this proposal. Additional Solicitation.If there are not enough votes to approve the election of the nominees for directors at the Annual Meeting, the stockholders who are represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting to permit the further solicitation of proxies. The persons named as proxies will vote those proxies for such adjournment, unless marked to be voted against the election of a nominee for director, to permit the further solicitation of proxies.
