compensation of our named executive officers.
Q: If I sign a proxy, how will it be voted?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxy cards received prior to the Annual Meeting and not
revoked before the polls are closed will be voted in accordance with the instructions on those proxy cards. If there are no
instructions on an otherwise properly executed proxy card, the shares represented by that proxy card will be voted as
recommended by the Board.
Q: What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting, including, among other things,
consideration of a motion to adjourn the Annual Meeting to another time or place (for the purpose of soliciting additional
proxies or otherwise), the persons named as proxies will have discretion to vote on those matters in accordance with their best
judgment. We do not currently anticipate that any other matters will be raised at the Annual Meeting.
Q: Can I change or revoke my vote?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
A: If you are a stockholder of record, there are three ways you can change your vote.

revocation or a duly executed proxy card, in either case dated later than the proxy card you wish to change.
2. You can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. Simply attending the Annual Meeting without actually voting
will not revoke a proxy.
3. If you voted online or by telephone, you may change that vote by voting again, either by making a timely and valid
Internet or telephone vote or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy card should be hand-

General Counsel before the vote at the Annual Meeting.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, there are two ways you can change your vote. You can submit new
voting instructions to your broker or other agent. Alternatively, if you have obtained a legal proxy from the broker or other
agent that holds your shares giving you the right to vote those shares, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person.
Q: Who will bear the costs of soliciting votes for the Annual Meeting?
