immediately, but as stockholders you&#146;ll have the opportunity to vote on his directorship as part of
this year&#146;s proxy.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Our Company bylaws are specifically structured to allow for expansion of the Board from time to
time as exceptional candidates become available to us. Bill Beer is one of those exceptional
candidates.</DIV>
