I/We wish my/our proxy to vote on the Resolutions proposed at the meeting as instructed on this form.

The proxy will vote, or abstain from voting, at his or her discretion on any Resolution listed below if no instruction is given regarding that Resolution and on any other business transacted at the Meeting or any adjournment.
