Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, follow the instructions provided by the organization that holds your shares.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors

If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, the election of directors will be determined by a plurality of the votes cast by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election. Accordingly, the three nominees receiving the most “FOR” votes from the holders of shares present during the meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors will be elected.

You may vote “FOR” or “WITHHOLD” authority to vote for each of the director nominees. If you “WITHHOLD” authority to vote with respect to one or more director nominees, your vote will have no effect on the election of such nominees. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the election of directors.

Other Proposals

With respect to each of Proposals 2, 3, and 4, if a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, each such proposal will be approved by our stockholders if a majority of the votes cast by the holders of all the shares of stock present or represented at the meeting and voting affirmatively or negatively on the applicable proposal are "FOR" the proposal. You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” from voting on any or all of these proposals. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of these proposals. However, we expect Proposal 2 to be considered a routine matter and brokers, and other nominees may generally vote in their discretion on routine matters, and therefore broker non-votes are not expected on this proposal.

#### What is the quorum requirement?
A quorum is necessary to hold the Annual Meeting. A quorum will be present if the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of our common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are present during the Annual Meeting or represented by proxy.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining whether
