 you want to vote. You must provide voting instructions by filling out the voting instruction form in order for your shares to be voted. We recommend that you instruct your brokerage firm, bank, trustee, or other nominee to submit your proxy to vote your shares on the enclosed WHITEuniversal proxy card. As a beneficial owner of shares, you are also invited to attend our Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record you may not vote your shares in person at our Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker, bank, or other agent. Your vote will be especially important this year. As you may be aware, the Dissident Group has nominated two candidates to stand for election to the Board. Under the new rules adopted by the SEC, the WHITEuniversal proxy card also includes the names of the Dissident Group’s nominees. We ask that you only cast your votes “FOR” each of the Board’s two candidates and “withhold” your votes for each of the Dissident Group’s nominees on the WHITEuniversal proxy card. If you mark a “FOR” vote with respect to fewer than two nominees under Proposal 1, your shares will only be voted “FOR” those nominees you have marked. If you vote “FOR” more than two nominees, all of your votes on Proposal 1 will be invalid and will not be counted. The Board does NOT endorse any of the nominees from the Dissident Group, and the presence of the Dissident Group’s nominees on the enclosed WHITEuniversal proxy card is NOT an approval of or comment on the fitness, character, suitability, or other qualifications of the Dissident Group’s nominees. The Board strongly urges you to NOT sign or return any NON-WHITE proxy card sent to you by, or on behalf of, the Dissident Group. If you have previously submitted a NON-WHITE proxy card sent to you by, or on behalf of, the Dissident Group, you can revoke that proxy and vote for your Board’s candidates and on the other matters to be voted on at the 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Annual Meeting by using the enclosed WHITEuniversal proxy card or voting by Internet by following the instructions specified on the WHITEuniversal proxy card. Only your latest dated proxy will count. OUR BOARD URGES YOU TO VOTE ONLY ON THE WHITEUNIVERSAL PROXY CARD FOR OUR BOARD’S PROPOSED CANDIDATES (TIMOTHY J. DUNN AND SUE E. ZEIFMAN) AND AGAINST BOTH STOCKHOLDER ADVISORY
