Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance of the Shares tendered with this Letter of Transmittal for payment in accordance with the Offer, the undersigned hereby (i) sells, assigns, and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Purchaser all right, title and interest in and to all the Shares that are being tendered with this Letter of Transmittal (and any other Shares or other securities issued or issuable in respect of those Shares after March 7, 2016), (ii) releases and discharges the Purchaser and the Company and their former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and controlling persons or any affiliate thereof from any and all claims or causes of action of any kind that arise out of or are based upon their ownership or acquisition of the Shares, and (iii) irrevocably constitutes and appoints Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Depositary”) the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to those Shares (and any such other Shares or securities), with full power of substitution, (that power of attorney being an irrevocable power coupled with an interest) to (a) deliver certificates for the Shares (and any such other Shares or securities) or transfer ownership of the Shares (and any such other Shares or securities) on the account books maintained by the Book-Entry Facility, together in either case with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Purchaser upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned’s agent, of the purchase price (adjusted, if appropriate, as provided in the Offer to Purchase), (b) present those Shares (and any such other Shares or securities) for transfer on the books of the Company and (c) otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of the Shares (and any such other Shares or securities), all in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

The undersigned irrevocably appoints the Purchaser, its officers and its designees, and each of them, the attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the undersigned, each with full power of substitution, to vote in such manner as each such attorney-in-fact and proxy or his or its substitute, in his or its sole discretion deems proper, and otherwise act (including acting by written consent without a meeting) with respect to, all the Shares tendered by this Letter of Transmittal which have been accepted for payment by the Purchaser prior to the time of the vote or action (and any other Shares or securities issued in respect of those Shares after March 7, 2016). This proxy is irrevocable and is granted in consideration of, and is effective upon, the deposit by the Purchaser with the Depositary of the purchase price for the Shares to which it relates, and acceptance of those Shares for payment, in accordance with the Offer. That acceptance for payment will revoke all prior proxies granted by the undersigned with regard to those Shares (and any such other Shares or other securities) and the undersigned will not give any subsequent proxies with respect to those Shares (or any such other Shares or other securities).

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the Shares tendered by this Letter of Transmittal (and any other Shares or other securities issued in respect of those Shares after March 7, 2016) and that, when those Shares are accepted for payment by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will acquire good and unencumbered titled to the Shares (and any such other Shares or other securities), free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances or adverse claims. The undersigned, upon request, will execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Purchaser to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Shares tendered by this Letter of Transmittal (and any such other Shares or other securities) to the Purchaser.

The authority conferred in this Letter of Transmittal will not be affected by, and will survive, the death or incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned under this Letter of Transmittal or otherwise resulting from the tender of the Shares to which this Letter of Transmittal relates will be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, the tender made by this Letter of Transmittal is irrevocable.

The undersigned understands that tenders of Shares pursuant to any one of the procedures described in the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions to this Letter of Transmittal will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Purchaser upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.

Pursuant to that procedure, (i) the tender must be made by or through an Eligible Institution, (ii) a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, substantially in the form provided by the Purchaser, must be received by the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time and (iii) the certificates for all physically tendered Shares, or Book-Entry Confirmation regarding Shares tendered by book-entry transfer, as the case may be, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile of one) and any other documents required by this Letter of Transmittal, must be received by the Depositary within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the date of execution of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, all as provided in the Offer to Purchase.

If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the Shares being tendered, the certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear on the certificates.

Except as provided in this Instruction 6, it will not be necessary for transfer tax stamps to be affixed to the certificates submitted with this Letter of Transmittal.

7.

Special Payment and Delivery Instructions.

This Letter of Transmittal and related documents cannot be processed until the procedures for replacing lost or destroyed certificates have been followed.

Important: This Letter of Transmittal (or a facsimile of it or an Agent’s Message relating to it), together with certificates or confirmation of book-entry transfer and all other required documents, or a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, must be received by the Depositary at or prior to the Expiration Time.

IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION

Under Federal income tax law, a stockholder whose tendered Shares are accepted for payment is required to provide the Depositary with the stockholder’s correct TIN on Form W-9 below. If the stockholder is an individual, the TIN is his or her social security number. If the Depositary is not provided with the correct TIN, the stockholder may be subject, among other things, to penalties imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. In addition, payments that are made to the stockholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer may be subject to backup withholding.

Certain stockholders (including, among others, all corporations and certain foreign individuals) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. A foreign corporation or individual may qualify as an exempt recipient or other payee by submitting to the Depositary a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI or other applicable IRS Form W-8, signed under penalty of perjury attesting to such holder’s exempt status.  IRS Forms W-8 may be obtained at www.irs.gov.  See the enclosed Form W-9 for additional instructions.

If backup withholding applies, the Depositary is required to withhold 28% of any payments made to the stockholder. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained.

Purpose of Form W-9

To prevent backup withholding on payments that are made to a stockholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, the stockholder is required to notify the Depositary of the stockholder’s correct TIN by completing the form below certifying that the TIN provided on the Form W-9 is correct (or that the stockholder is awaiting a TIN).

What Number to Give the Depositary

The stockholder is required to give the Depositary the social security number or employer identification number of the record owner of the Shares. If the Shares being tendered are in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult the enclosed Form W-9 for additional guidelines on which number to report.  Failure to complete and return the Form W-9 may result in backup withholding of 28% of any payments made to you.
