Also, if you hold your shares in the name of a bank or broker, your ability to vote by telephone or the
Internet depends on their voting processes. Please follow the directions on your Notice carefully. A number of

telephonically by calling the telephone number shown on the voting instruction form received from your
brokerage firm or bank, or through the Internet at Broadridge’s voting Web site (www.proxyvote.com).
Votes submitted through the Internet or by telephone through the Broadridge program must be received

Can I vote at the meeting?
Shares registered directly in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted in person at the
Annual Meeting. Shares held in street name may be voted in person only if you obtain a legal proxy from
the broker or nominee that holds your shares giving you the right to vote the shares. Even if you plan to
attend the meeting, we encourage you to vote your shares by proxy. You may still vote your shares in
person at the meeting even if you have previously voted by proxy.
Can I change my mind after I vote?
You may change your vote at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You may do this by:
• signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to us prior to the meeting;
• voting again by telephone or through the Internet prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving
Time, on May 19, 2010;
• giving written notice to the Secretary of the Company prior to the meeting; or
• voting again at the meeting.
Your attendance at the meeting will not have the effect of revoking a proxy unless you notify our
Corporate Secretary in writing before the polls close that you wish to revoke a previous proxy.
