Board Composition and Refreshment Process: The Nominating and Governance Committee may solicit director candidate

recommendations from a number of sources, including directors, executive officers, and third-party search firms. The Nominating

and Governance Committee will consider for nomination any director candidates, including director candidates recommended by

our stockholders, who are deemed qualified by the Nominating and Governance Committee in light of the qualifications and criteria

for Board of Directors membership described below, or such other criteria as approved by the Board of Directors or a committee

thereof from time to time. Stockholder recommendations must be submitted to the Nominating and Governance Committee in

accordance with the requirements set forth in the By-laws, including those discussed in the “Other Matters—Stockholder

Proposals” section of this Proxy Statement, and any procedures established from time to time by the Nominating and Governance

Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a specific policy regarding the consideration of stockholder

recommendations for director candidates and considers this appropriate because it evaluates recommendations without regard to

their source. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates any potential conflicts of interest on a case-by-case basis, to

the extent they may arise.

When considering candidates for directorship, including nominees currently serving as directors of the Company, the Nominating and Governance Committee takes into account a number of factors, including the following qualifications: the nominee must have the highest personal and professional integrity and have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and the attributes necessary (in conjunction with the other members of the Board of Directors) to best serve the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a policy regarding diversity in identifying nominees for a directorship, but rather considers differentiation of perspective, experience, and background among the various factors relevant to the consideration of any particular nominee. In addition, the Nominating and Governance Committee reviews from time to time the skills and characteristics necessary and appropriate for directors in light of the then-current composition of the Board of Directors, including the following factors:
