 any fractional voting rights resulting from the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A' Preferred Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

#### How are votes counted?
Stockholder votes will be tabulated by the persons appointed by the Board (or appointed by persons the Board has delegated the power to appoint) to act as inspectors of election for the Annual Meeting. Shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock represented by a properly executed and delivered proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting and, when the stockholder has given instructions, will be voted in accordance with those instructions.

What if I do not provide specific voting instructions?

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name

If you are a stockholder of record and you return a signed and dated proxy card or otherwise vote without marking voting selections, your shares will be voted as follows: (1) “FOR” each of the nominees listed in Proposal No. 1, (2) “FOR” the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm in Proposal No. 2, and (3) in accordance with the discretion of the persons appointed as proxies with respect to any other matters that properly come before the Annual Meeting.

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

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered to be the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. These proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee, who is considered to be the holder of record with respect to your shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit your voting instructions.

If you do not furnish voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, one of two things can happen, depending upon whether a proposal is “routine.” Under the rules that govern brokers that have record ownership of shares beneficially owned by their clients, brokers have discretion to cast votes only on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accounting firms, without voting instructions from their clients. Brokers are not permitted, however, to cast votes on “non-routine” matters without such voting instructions, such as the election of directors. Proposal No. 2 is considered a “routine” proposal. All other proposals are considered “non-routine,” and your broker will not have discretion to vote
