In addition to attending the Meeting and voting in person, stockholders may exercise their rights as stockholders to vote for nominees for director at the Meeting, by signing, dating and returning the WHITE proxy card included with the Company's proxy statement mailed to stockholders on or about April 30, 2015. No other proxy cards will be accepted or counted in the director election, including the gold proxy card solicited by two of our dissident stockholders, as the dissident stockholders will not be permitted to make nominations at the Meeting for failure to comply with the Company's advance notice bylaw provisions. Please fill in, date and sign the WHITE proxy card provided with our previously delivered proxy statement, and mail it promptly in the postage-paid envelope provided to make sure that your shares are represented at the Meeting. If you attend the Meeting in person, you may, if you desire, revoke your proxy and choose to vote in person even if you had previously sent in your proxy card.
