delivered to the Company, we request that either the original or photostatic copies of all revocations be mailed to Founders Group in
care of InvestorCom at the address set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Statement so that we will be aware of all revocations and
can more accurately determine if and when proxies have been received from the holders of record on the Record Date of a majority of the
