” through a bank, broker or other nominee that is the record holder of those shares, you must contact the appropriate bank, broker or nominee that is the record holder in order to revoke a proxy executed with respect to those shares.

| Required Vote |

The election of the nominees for director (Proposal 1) in an uncontested election will become effective, in the case of each nominee, only upon the affirmative vote of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the votes cast “for” or “against” such nominee. The advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as described in this Proxy Statement under “Executive Compensation” (Proposal 2), the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal 3), the Stockholder proposal to implement a simple majority vote requirement in our governance documents (Proposal 5) and the approval of any other matter that may properly come before the Annual Meeting will become effective only upon the affirmative vote of shares of Common Stock representing a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present or represented and voting on such matter. The approval of an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to limit the liability of certain officers as permitted by law (Proposal 4) will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company's outstanding shares of Common Stock. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 5. Abstentions will have the same effect as an "AGAINST" vote on Proposal 4.

Brokers holding shares must vote according to specific instructions they receive from the beneficial owners of those shares. If brokers do not receive specific instructions, brokers may in some cases vote the shares in their discretion, but are not permitted to vote on certain proposals and may elect not vote on any of the proposals unless you provide voting instructions. If you do not provide voting instructions and the broker elects to vote your shares on some but not all matters, it will result in a “broker non-vote” for the matters on which the broker does not vote.

So-called “broker non-votes” will be counted in determining the quorum, but will not be counted as votes at the Annual Meeting and will not be counted in determining the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1, 2, 3 and 5. Broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as an "AGAINST" vote on Proposal 4.
