Ladies and Gentlemen:

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED
(See Instruction 5 to the Letter of Transmittal)

THE UNDERSIGNED IS TENDERING SHARES AS FOLLOWS (CHECK ONLY ONE BOX UNDER (1) OR (2) BELOW):

SHARES TENDERED AT PRICE DETERMINED UNDER THE OFFER

By checking the box below INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder” below, the undersigned hereby tenders Shares at the purchase price as shall be determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

☐

The undersigned wants to maximize the chance that the Company will accept for payment all of the Shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes below, the undersigned hereby instructs that the Shares referenced above be tendered at, and is willing to accept, the Purchase Price determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Offer. The undersigned understands that this action will result in the undersigned’s Shares being deemed to be tendered at the minimum price of $36.00 per Share for purposes of determining the Purchase Price. This may effectively lower the Purchase Price and could result in the undersigned receiving a per-Share price as low as $36.00.

By checking ONE of the following boxes INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered at Price Determined Under the Offer” above, the undersigned hereby instructs that the Shares referenced above be tendered at the price checked.

A SHAREHOLDER WISHING TO HAVE SHARES TENDERED AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE INSTRUCTION FORM FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED. THE SAME SHARES CANNOT BE TENDERED, UNLESS PREVIOUSLY VALIDLY WITHDRAWN AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 4 OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE, AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE.


ODD LOTS (See Section 1, “Aggregate Purchase Price for Shares; Priority of Purchase; Proration,” of the Offer to Purchase and Instruction 14 of the Letter of Transmittal) Under certain conditions, shareholders holding a total of fewer than 100 Shares may have their Shares accepted for payment before any proration of other tendered Shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more Shares, even if such holders have separate accounts or certificates representing fewer than 100 Shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed ONLY if Shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares. The undersigned either (check one box):

☐		is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares, all of which are being tendered; or

☐		is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee (the “Tendering Institution”) that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s) Shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 Shares and is tendering all such Shares.

CONDITIONAL TENDER

(See Instruction 13 of the Letter of Transmittal)

A shareholder may condition his or her tender of Shares upon the Company purchasing a specified minimum number of Shares tendered, as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of Shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer, none of the Shares tendered by you will be purchased. It is the tendering shareholder’s responsibility to calculate and appropriately indicate the minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from the shareholder in order for the shareholder to qualify for sale or exchange (rather than distribution) treatment for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each shareholder is urged to consult with his or her own financial or tax advisor with respect to the advisability of making a conditional tender before completing this section. No assurances can be provided that a conditional tender will achieve the intended U.S. federal income tax result for any shareholder tendering Shares. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.

☐	The minimum number of Shares that must be purchased from me, if any are purchased from me, is: Shares.

If, because of proration, the minimum number of Shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the shareholder must have tendered all of his or her Shares and checked this box:

☐

The Shares to be tendered represent all Shares held by the undersigned.
