Common use of Voting in Person Clause in Contracts

Voting in Person. If you are a Starwood stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Starwood special meeting. If you hold shares in “street name” (through a bank, broker or other nominee), you may also vote in person at the Starwood special meeting provided you have a legal proxy from such bank, broker or other nominee to vote the shares held on your behalf. Please contact your bank, broker or other nominee for further information on such proxy. You will not be able to vote your shares at the Starwood special meeting without a legal proxy from your bank, broker or other nominee. You will need to bring the legal proxy with you to the Starwood special meeting and hand it in with a signed ballot that will be made available and distributed at the Starwood special meeting. If you do not plan to attend the Starwood special meeting or do not wish to vote in person, you may authorize proxies to vote your shares by written proxy, by telephone or over the Internet.
