GENERAL INFORMATION
discontinue receiving multiple copies, you
can contact our transfer agent,

If you are a beneficial stockholder, but not a
registered stockholder, and you share an
address with other beneficial stockholders,
the number of annual meeting materials you
receive is already being reduced because
your broker, bank or other institution is
permitted to deliver a single copy of this
material for all stockholders at your address
unless a stockholder has requested
separate copies. If you would like to receive
separate copies, please contact your broker,
bank or institution and update your
preference for future meetings.
Can I receive future materials via the
Internet?
If you vote on the Internet, simply follow the
prompts for enrolling in electronic proxy
delivery service. This will reduce the
Company’s printing and postage costs, as
well as the number of paper documents you
will receive.
Stockholders of record may enroll in that
service at the time they vote their proxies
via the Internet or at any time after the
Annual Meeting and can read additional
information about this option and request
electronic delivery by going to
www.computershare.com/investor. If you
hold shares beneficially, please contact your
broker to enroll for electronic proxy delivery.
At this time, employee participants in a
Company 401(k) plan may not elect to
receive notice and proxy materials via
electronic delivery.
If you already receive your proxy materials
via the Internet, you will continue to receive
them that way until you instruct otherwise
through the methods referenced above.
How many shares must be present to hold
the meeting?
A majority of the Company’s outstanding
shares entitled to vote as of the record
date, or 34,412,631 shares, must be
present or represented at the meeting and
entitled to vote in order to hold the meeting
and conduct business (i.e., to constitute a
quorum). Shares are counted as present or
represented at the meeting if the
stockholder of record attends the meeting; if
the beneficial owner attends with a “legal
proxy” from the record holder; or if the
record holder or beneficial owner has
submitted a proxy or voting instructions,
whether by returning a proxy card or voting
instructions or by phone or Internet, without
regard to whether the proxy or voting
instructions actually casts a vote or
withholds or abstains from voting.
How many votes must the nominees have
to be elected?
The Company’s Bylaws (as amended
April 30, 2010) require that each director be
elected annually by a majority of votes cast
with respect to that director. This means
that the number of votes “for” a director
must exceed the number of votes “against”
that director. In the event that a nominee for
director receives more “against” votes for
his or her election than “for” votes, the
Board must consider such director’s
resignation following a recommendation by
the Board’s Governance and Nominating
Committee. The majority voting standard
does not apply, however, in the event that
the number of nominees for director
exceeds the number of directors to be
