 for any reason, any nominee is unable or unwilling to serve, the proxies will be voted for a substitute nominee who will be designated by the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders may abstain from voting by marking the appropriate boxes on the accompanying proxy. Abstentions will be counted separately and used for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. The Company has adopted a majority voting policy for non-contested director elections, which is described below in the “ Corporate Governance, Board Matters and Director Compensation” section.

Feehan, Ms. Paula K. Garrett and Ms. Marthea Davis as directors of the Company.
