Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

The Company’s 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on November 19, 2010. The matters voted on by stockholders at that Meeting consisted of (i) the election of seven Directors to the Company’s Board of Directors to serve for a term of one year and until their successors are elected (Proposal No. 1); and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 (Proposal No. 2).

Election of Directors. The seven candidates named below, all of whom were nominated by the Company’s Board of Directors, were the only candidates nominated for election at the Meeting. Under the Company’s Bylaws, however, to be elected to the Board, a candidate must receive a majority of the votes cast in the election of directors. As indicated in the table below, all of those seven candidates received a majority of the votes cast and, accordingly, were elected to serve on the Company’s Board of Directors for a term that will end at the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are elected.

Nominees:	Votes For		As a Percent of Shares Voted			Votes Withheld		As a Percent of Shares Voted

A. Clinton Allen		4,450,819		94.70	%		249,093		5.30	%
Deborah A. Farrington		4,455,153		94.79	%		244,759		5.21	%
David G. Hall		4,577,551		97.40	%		122,361		2.60	%
Michael J. McConnell		4,577,842		97.40	%		122,070		2.60	%
A. J. Bert Moyer		4,339,621		92.33	%		360,291		7.67	%
Van D. Simmons		4,578,004		97.41	%		121,908		2.59	%
Bruce A. Stevens		4,580,331		97.46	%		119,581		2.54	%

Since, under applicable rules that became effective in 2010, brokers may no longer vote shares in an election of directors (whether or not contested) without voting instructions from the beneficial owners of such shares, there were a total of 2,593,028 broker non-votes in the election of directors.

Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accountants. The appointment of Grant Thornton, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011 was ratified by the Company’s stockholders by the following vote:

	Number of Shares		Percent of Shares Voted
Voted For		6,335,826		99	%
Voted Against		1,177		0	%
Abstaining		6,873		1	%

Brokers have discretionary authority to vote shares on the ratification of the appointment of independent registered public accountants without voting instructions from the beneficial owners of the shares. Consequently, there were no broker non-votes with respect to this Proposal.
