Under the policy, we will collect information we deem reasonably necessary from each director, executive officer and, to the extent feasible, significant stockholder to enable us to identify any existing or potential related person transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy.

In addition, under our Code of Conduct, our employees and directors have an affirmative responsibility to disclose any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest.

• The impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director, or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

• The availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

• The terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from employees generally.

The policy requires, in determining whether to approve, ratify, or reject a related person transaction, our Audit Committee or other independent body of our Board of Directors must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in or consistent with our best interests and those of our stockholders, as our Audit Committee or other independent body of our Board of Directors determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion.
