To subscribe for your primary shares please complete line "A" on the card below.
Example:
100 shares = 100 rights (100 rights will be AUTOMATICALLY rounded up to 102
rights, the nearest number of rights divisible by three)
102 rights divided by 3 = 34 primary shares
The maximum number of primary subscription shares would be 34.
A. 34 x $____ = $______
(No. of shares)
If you are not subscribing for your full Primary Subscription, check box "E"
below and we will attempt to sell any remaining unexercised Rights.
To subscribe for any over-subscription shares please complete line "B" below.
PLEASE NOTE: Only Record Date Stockholders who have exercised their Primary
Subscription in full may apply for shares pursuant to the Over-Subscription
Privilege.
PAYMENT OF SHARES: Full payment for both the primary and over-subscription
shares or a notice of guaranteed delivery must accompany this subscription.
Please reference your rights card control number on your check, money order or

If the aggregate Subscription Price paid by a Record Date Stockholder is
insufficient to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock that the holder
indicates are being subscribed for, or if a Record Date Stockholder does not
specify the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased, then the Record
Date Stockholder will be deemed to have exercised first, the Primary
Subscription Right (if not already fully exercised) and second, the
Over-Subscription Privilege to purchase shares of Common Stock to the full
extent of the payment rendered. If the aggregate Subscription Price paid by a
Record Date Stockholder exceeds the amount necessary to purchase the number of
shares of Common Stock for which the Record Date Stockholder has indicted an
intention to subscribe, then the Record Date Stockholder will be deemed to have
exercised first, the Primary Subscription Right (if not already fully exercised)
