TABLE OF CONTENTS

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of Broker or Bank. If you are a beneficial owner and do not give instructions to your broker, bank or other agent on how to vote, the broker, bank or other agent will be able to vote your shares in its discretion on certain matters considered “routine.” If a proposal is not routine, the broker, bank or other agent may vote on the proposal only if the beneficial owner has provided voting instructions. A “broker non-vote” occurs when the broker or other entity is unable to vote on a proposal because the proposal is not routine, and the beneficial owner does not provide any voting instructions. Please follow the voting instructions provided by the broker or other entity holding your shares to ensure your vote is counted. Your broker, bank or other agent does not have the discretion to vote your shares on Proposals 1, 2 and 3 without your instructions. However, your broker does have the discretion to vote your shares on Proposal 4. How many votes are needed to approve each proposal? With respect to Proposal 1, you may vote FOR all nominees, WITHHOLD your vote as to all nominees, or FOR all nominees except those specific nominees from whom you WITHHOLD your vote. A properly executed proxy marked WITHHOLD with respect to the election of one or more directors will not be voted with respect to the director or directors indicated. Proxies may not be voted for more than nine directors and stockholders may not cumulate votes in the election of directors. With respect to Proposals 2, 3 and 4, you may vote FOR, AGAINST or ABSTAIN. The following table summarizes the minimum vote needed to approve each proposal and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes:
