 withheld will be excluded entirely from the vote with respect to the director nominee from which it is withheld and will have the same effect as an abstention. Withheld votes and abstentions will not count as votes “FOR” or “AGAINST” a director, and thus will not affect the outcome of this proposal (assuming that a quorum is present), because directors are elected by plurality voting.

(3) As this proposal is not considered a routine matter, banks and brokers lack authority to exercise their discretion to vote on this proposal if you do not provide specific voting instructions. If you are a beneficial owner and hold your shares in “street name” in an account at a bank or brokerage firm, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in this proposal. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

(4) A vote marked as an abstention is not considered a vote cast, and thus will not affect the outcome of this proposal, assuming that a quorum is present.

(5) As this proposal is considered a routine matter, banks and brokers are permitted to exercise their discretion to vote uninstructed shares on this proposal.

#### Voting Instructions
If you complete and submit your proxy card or voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will follow your voting instructions. If no choice is indicated on the proxy card, the shares will be voted as the Board recommends on each proposal. Many banks and brokerage firms have a process for their beneficial owners to provide instructions via the Internet. The voting form that you receive from your bank or broker will contain instructions for voting.
