<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">The Reporting Persons believe
the Issuer has been run like a private company with a Board that does not appear to us to provide the necessary oversight to create
value for stockholders. We view this election as a referendum on the Issuer&rsquo;s poor corporate governance and long term underperformance.
The Reporting Persons own more Shares than the Issuer&rsquo;s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board, despite
him serving as the Issuer&rsquo;s President and a director since 1982, Chief Executive Officer since 1990, and as Chairman of the
Board since 2007. The Issuer&rsquo;s chronic stock price and operating underperformance under Mr. Heyningen suggests to us that
he is running the Issuer without effective Board oversight and appropriate accountability. The Board has aggressively diluted stockholders
by approximately 14% over the past five years with little evidence of commensurate reward to the true owners of the Issuer &ndash;
the stockholders &ndash; based on the lack of value creation over the same period compared to the Russell 2000 Index, the Russell
3000 Index and the Russell 2000 Utilities: Telecommunications Index. In contrast, the Reporting Persons believe the addition of
their two highly qualified candidates who represent a large stockholder with significant skin in the game, will help to better
align the Board with stockholder interests and be the best chance of seeing a return on their investments.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 1in">In addition, the Reporting
Persons are concerned that the Board appears to be squandering significant stockholder resources by engaging expensive advisors
to help entrench itself as opposed to focusing on maximizing stockholder value. The Issuer has refused to engage in meaningful
discussions with the Reporting Persons to avoid a contested election, even though the Nominees have more public company board experience
than the current directors. Nevertheless, if elected, the Nominees are committed to working cooperatively with the remaining board
members to explore all opportunities to unlock value.</P>
