 Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to access our proxy materials via the Internet or to request a paper copy of our proxy materials; or

• by mail, by completing, signing, dating and returning the paper proxy card you should have received if you received a paper copy of our proxy materials.

For those stockholders with Internet access, we encourage you to vote by proxy via the Internet, since it is quick, convenient and provides a cost savings to us. When you vote by proxy via the Internet or by telephone prior to the annual meeting date, your vote is recorded immediately and there is no risk that postal delays will cause your vote to arrive late and, therefore, not be counted. For further instructions on voting, see the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the paper proxy card (if you are in receipt of one).

If you elect to attend the annual meeting, you can submit your vote in person as described above under “Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?”, and any previous votes that you submitted, whether by Internet, telephone or mail, will be superseded.

Q: What if I submit my proxy and then change my mind?

A: You have the right to revoke your proxy at any time before the annual meeting by:

(1) notifying Jeffrey K. Waldvogel, our Secretary;

(2) attending the annual meeting and voting in person as described above under “Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting?”;

(3) returning another proxy card dated after your first proxy vote, if we receive it before the annual meeting date; or

(4) recasting your proxy vote via the Internet or by telephone.

Only the most recent proxy vote will be counted and all others will be discarded regardless of the method of voting. If a broker or other nominee holds your stock on your behalf, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

This means that, of the shares present in person or by proxy at an annual meeting, a director nominee needs to receive affirmative votes from a
