(4)  Say When on Pay – An advisory vote on the approval of the frequency of shareholder votes on executive compensation

The final number of votes cast with respect to each matter is set out below:

1)   The election of Directors:

At the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders held on April 21, 2011, a majority of the votes cast by stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to approve the recommendation of the Company’s board of directors to hold an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every two years. In line with this recommendation by our stockholders, the Company has determined that it will include an advisory stockholder vote on executive compensation in its proxy materials every two years until the next required advisory vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation.
