VOTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please indicate your vote by marking X in only one box.
2. If the ballot is marked in any other way, it will be counted as invalid.
3. Place this completed ballot in the SECRET BALLOT envelope, seal it and then place the SECRET BALLOT envelope inside the business reply envelope addressed to the American Arbitration Association.
4. Do not remove or make any marks over your name and address on the back of the business reply envelope addressed to the American Arbitration Association. (This is for control purposes only. The secrecy of your vote will be protected because the SECRET BALLOT envelope will be separated from the business reply envelope before it is opened for the vote count.)
