It isn't apparent that you have a clear choice to vote "against" an individual director nominee. OPS has taken steps to ensure that all shareholders' right to vote against one or more nominees is recognized in the voting process. Please read the following carefully. The beneficial owners are receiving from their brokers an instruction ballot prepared by ADP Proxy Services, Inc. which has boxes "For All Nominees," "Withhold All Nominees," and "Withhold Authority To Vote For Any Individual Nominee- Write Number(s) of Nominees Below." The numbers assigned to each director nominee are listed on the front of ADP's instruction ballot. ADP's instructions should follow our procedure for voting for directors precisely. ADP's instructions do not have the same procedures for voting for directors as OPS' proxy card. WE WANT TO ELIMINATE THE CONFUSION CAUSED BY ADP'S METHOD IN LAYING OUT OUR PROXY FORMAT. YOUR VOTES "WITHHOLD" WILL BE COUNTED AS VOTES "AGAINST." OPS and its transfer agent will count instructions on ADP's box "Withhold All Nominees" as a VOTE AGAINST ALL NOMINEES. OPS and its transfer agent will count instructions on ADP's box "Withhold Authority To Vote For Any Individual Nominee," followed by a number or numbers indicating withhold authority for one or more of the directors (as numbered on the instructions), as a vote AGAINST the individual director or directors indicated. We want to encourage everyone to vote as soon as possible.
