, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other nominees for the cost of forwarding the Notice or proxy materials, as applicable, to beneficial owners.

What does it mean if I receive more than one set of materials?

If you receive more than one set of materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. In order to vote all the shares you own, you must either sign and return all of the proxy cards or follow the instructions for any alternative voting procedures on each of the proxy cards or Notices you receive.

Can I revoke or change my vote after submitting my proxy?

Yes. You can revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the applicable vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are the record holder of your shares, you may revoke your proxy in any one of four ways:

you may submit another properly completed proxy with a later date;

you may vote again by Internet or telephone at a later time;

you may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to our Corporate Secretary at 100 Regency Forest Drive, Suite 300, Cary, North Carolina, 27518; or

you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically during the Annual Meeting (however, simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy or change your vote).

Your most current proxy card or Internet proxy is the one that is counted.

If you hold your shares beneficially in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your bank, broker or nominee following the instructions they provide.
