How do I vote my shares if I won’t be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person?
You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting in person in order to vote. You may, instead, vote over the
Internet, by telephone or by mail (if you have requested printed proxy materials). By doing so, you are giving
a proxy appointing John S. Riccitiello (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) and Eric F. Brown (the
Company’s Chief Financial Officer) to vote your shares at the meeting as you have instructed. If a proposal
comes up for vote at the meeting for which you have not indicated an instruction, Mr. Riccitiello and
Mr. Brown will vote your shares according to their best judgment. Even if you currently plan to attend the
meeting, it is a good idea to vote on the Internet, by telephone or, if you received printed proxy materials, to
complete and return your proxy card before the meeting date just in case your plans change.
•By Internet or Telephone — If you have telephone or Internet access, you may submit your proxy by
following the instructions provided in the Notice or, if you received a printed version of the proxy
materials by mail, by following the instructions provided with your proxy materials and on your proxy
card or voting instruction card.
•By Mail — If you request printed proxy materials, you may submit your proxy by mail by signing your
proxy card or, for shares held in street name, by following the voting instructions included by your
stockbroker, trustee or nominee, and mailing it in the enclosed, postage-paid envelope. If you provide
specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you have instructed.
What does it mean if I receive more than one Notice or proxy card?
It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with stockbrokers. Please complete and return
all proxy cards, or follow the instructions on each Notice to vote by telephone or over the Internet, to ensure
that all your shares are voted.
What if I change my mind after I give my proxy?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You may
do this by:
• Sending a signed statement to the Company that the proxy is revoked (you may send such a statement
to the Company’s Secretary at our corporate headquarters address listed on the Notice of 2008 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders);
• Signing another proxy with a later date;
• Voting by telephone or on the Internet at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 30, 2008
(your latest vote is counted); or
• Voting in person at the meeting.
Your proxy will not be revoked if you attend the meeting but do not vote.
Who will count the votes?
A representative of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of
election.
