* Any broker non-votes count toward the determination of a quorum
for the Annual Meeting, but are excluded from the denominator in
the calculation of the percentage of shares voting. Abstentions are
counted towards the tabulation of votes cast on matters properly
presented to the stockholders (except the election of directors)
and have the same effect as negative votes. Broker non-votes are
not counted as votes cast, and therefore they have no effect on the
outcome of the matters presented at the Annual Meeting.
