Footnote 2

In July 2007, the US Securities and Exchange Commission made modifications to shareholder material delivery rules. The Notice of Internet Availability has directed you to www.proxyvote.com, a site which provides electronic access to meeting-related materials (e.g., annual reports and proxy materials) instead of traditional hardcopy packages. This site gives you the ability to view these meeting-related materials over the internet, vote your shares and order printed copies of these materials, if desired. There is no charge to the investor for access to, or use of ProxyVote. No personal information is captured and you do not need to provide anything more than your control number. We use 128 bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology - the most widely used method of securing internet privacy today - to protect the privacy and security of the information input into ProxyVote when you access this website and vote your shares.
