LC&C is entitled to receive an annual fee, subject to a loss carryforward provision, in the amount of 20% of the aggregate net profits (including realized and unrealized gains) derived from all investments of the Master Fund, directly and through the SPV, including the Master Fund's investment in the Corporation, attributable to each common share of the Master Fund for the applicable fiscal year of the Master Fund.

The principal business of the Master Fund and the SPV is investing in securities.  The principal business of LC&C is providing investment management services.  The principal occupation of Messrs.

Proposal

The Holders hereby propose shareholder action requesting an amendment to the Corporation's Amended By-laws to implement a majority vote for directors, constituting a change from the current plurality voting requirement for the election of directors. The Holders believe such amendment to the Corporation's By-laws should be implemented through the shareholder adoption of the following resolution:

Resolved, that the shareholders of the Corporation request and instruct the board of directors of the Corporation to take the steps necessary and appropriate to amend the Amended By-Laws of the Corporation, such amendment to be effective immediately, to provide that: (i) any candidate in an uncontested election for directors be required to receive a majority of the votes cast in order to be elected as a director and (ii) any incumbent director in an uncontested election of directors who does not receive a majority of the votes cast shall promptly tender his or her resignation from the board of directors, and the board of directors, or a committee of the board of directors that is responsible for the evaluation and nomination of director nominees to the extent that such committee is established in the future, accept or reject such resi gnation within 90 days of receipt of the resignation, provided, however, that if the board of directors rejects such resignation, it publicly disclose the reason for such rejection.

Supporting Statement

Shareholders of many public companies have urged that director nominees be required to receive a majority of the votes cast in favor of their election, rather than the generally applicable plurality standard. In response, a number of public companies have adopted charter or bylaw provisions requiring a majority vote standard.  In addition, such charter or bylaw provisions also require that any incumbent director not receiving such a majority submit his or her resignation to the board of directors or one of its committees. The resignation requirement is designed to address the provisions of many state corporations law provisions that provides that an incumbent director remains in office until his or her successor is elected, even if the director has not received a vote sufficient for re-election.  We believe pluralit y voting in the election of directors does not promote true corporate democracy, and allows unpopular incumbents who receive even one vote to be re-elected.  The Corporation's plurality voting standard ensures that the Corporation's nominees are automatically elected to the board in any uncontested election, regardless of performance.  By contrast, a majority voting standard in uncontested elections, together with a requirement that a director not re-elected by a majority of the votes cast tender his or her resignation, means a candidate cannot be elected or remain in office unless the holders of a majority of the votes cast believe the nominee has done (or in the case of a new nominee, will do) a good job representing the shareholders' interests. Majority voting, coupled with a requirement that incumbents who do not get a majority vote must resign, is an important corporate governance feature that promotes director accountability, and provides shareholders with a more meaningful role in director elections.

We urge shareholders to vote for this proposal.
