Accordingly, we request instructions as to whether you wish us to subscribe for any shares of Common Stock for which you are entitled to subscribe for pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the enclosed Prospectus. However, we urge you to read these documents carefully before instructing us to exercise any rights.
