A related-party transaction is generally a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which the Company and any related person are, were or will be participants in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which the related party had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to the Company as an employee or director are not covered by this policy.

Under the policy, we collect information that 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-party transactions and to effectuate the terms of the policy. In addition, under our Code of Ethics, 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 policy requires that, in determining whether to approve or reject a related-party transaction, the independent directors of the Board (or a committee thereof, which may include the Audit Committee), must consider, in light of known circumstances, whether the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, the Company’s best interests and those of our stockholders, as such independent directors or committee thereof (which may include the Audit Committee), determines in the good faith exercise of its discretion. Our independent directors have determined that certain transactions will not require the approval of the independent directors of the Board or a committee thereof, including certain employment arrangements of officers, director compensation, transactions with another company at which a related party’s only relationship is as a director, non-executive employee or beneficial owner of less than 10% of that company’s outstanding capital stock, transactions where a related party’s interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company’s Common Stock and all holders of the Company’s Common Stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis and transactions available to all employees generally.

#### Board Role in Risk Oversight
Our Board has the overall responsibility for risk oversight, including, as part of regular Board and committee meetings, understanding the principal risks associated with our business on an ongoing basis and overseeing the key risk decisions of management, which includes comprehending the appropriate balance between risks and rewards. A fundamental part of risk oversight is not only understanding the material risks we face and the steps management is taking to manage those risks, but also understanding what level of risk is appropriate for us. Our Board’s involvement in reviewing our business strategy, long-range plan and annual budget is an integral aspect of our Board’s assessment of management
