    1. Delivery of Proxies.
    All proxies must be received by 5 p.m. (Alaska Standard Time) on Friday,
    May 27, 2005, by CIRI or the Inspector of Election. Proxies received
    after 5 p.m. on May 27, 2005, will not be valid for any purpose.

    2. Proxy Revocation.
    After 5 p.m. on May 27, 2005, shareholders may revoke proxies by voting
    in person by ballot at the annual meeting or by delivering to the
    Inspector of Election, prior to the close of shareholder registration on
    the meeting day, an express signed and dated written revocation (other
    than a proxy).

    3. Meeting Registration.
    Registration for the Annual Meeting will begin at 8 a.m. on June 4,
    2005. The meeting will commence at 10 a.m. and shareholder registration
    will close at 11 a.m. Each shareholder will be required to bring some
    form of identification such as a driver's license, Social Security card,
    or CIRI ID card. All eligible shareholders wishing to vote at the
    meeting will be given a ballot for that purpose. Acceptance of the
    ballot will revoke all proxies the shareholder may have previously
    signed. All shareholders desiring to vote in person at the meeting must
    register prior to the close of shareholder registration at 11 a.m.

    4. Voting.
    The Inspector of Election will announce the proxy votes held by proxy
    holders at the meeting and will prepare and distribute ballots to the
    proxy holders. All ballots must be deposited into the ballot boxes or
    delivered to the Inspector of Election. Election results will be
    announced as soon as possible after the voting is complete.
