I (We) direct that the shares represented by this appointment of proxy be voted as directed on the reverse side. If no voting directions are given on a matter, the Proxies may vote those shares “FOR” in the case of the election of each director nominee named in Proposal 3, “FOR” each of Proposals 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7, and a vote of “THREE YEARS” for Proposal 5. If, before the Annual Meeting, any nominee listed in Proposal 3 becomes unable or unwilling to serve as a director for any reason, the Proxies are authorized to vote for a substitute nominee named by the Board of Directors. This appointment of proxy may be revoked by the undersigned at any time before the voting takes place at the Annual Meeting by attending the Annual Meeting and voting virtually via live audiocast, voting again by telephone or over the Internet, completing and submitting a duly completed and executed proxy bearing a later date, or submitting written notice of revocation to the Company’s transfer agent, West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc. or the Company’s Corporate Secretary prior to the voting of the proxy, which is dated as of a later date than the proxy. | ||
