*** IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT VOTING YOUR SHARES - PLEASE READ ***

Recently, NYSE and SEC rule changes were enacted changing how shares held in brokerage accounts are voted in director elections. If YOU do not vote your shares on Proposal One (Election of Directors) or Proposal Two (Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation), your brokerage firm cannot vote them for you and your shares will remain unvoted. Previously, if your broker did not receive instructions from you, they were permitted to vote your shares for you in director elections. Effective January 1, 2010, brokers are no longer allowed to vote uninstructed shares.

*THEREFORE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU VOTE YOUR SHARES FOR ALL PROPOSALS*
