#### Director Independence
Our Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each of our continuing directors and director nominees and has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Bliss, von Blottnitz, Wolf, and Casey, and Mmes. Bundy Scanlan, Kerr, Nottebohm, and Webb, do not have relationships that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, and that each of Messrs. Bliss, von Blottnitz, Wolf and Casey, and Mmes. Bundy Scanlan, Kerr, Nottebohm and Webb meets the definition of “independent director” under the applicable NASDAQ listing standards. In making these determinations, our Board considered the current and prior relationships that each continuing director and director nominee has with the Company and all other facts and circumstances our Board deemed relevant. Mr. Trigg does not meet the definition of “independent director” as Mr. Trigg is a current executive officer of the Company. For additional disclosure of facts and circumstances the Board considered, please refer to the Section titled “Agreements with Directors and Third Parties.”

#### Board Leadership Structure
We do not have a fixed policy regarding whether the offices of Chairperson of our Board and Chief Executive Officer should be vested in the same person or two different people. We believe the Company and its stockholders are best served by a Board that has the flexibility to establish a leadership structure that fits the needs of the Company at a particular time. Accordingly, our Governing Documents and corporate governance guidelines do not require that the Chairperson of our Board and our Chief Executive Officer be separate or combined. At this time, the offices of Chairperson of our Board and Chief Executive Officer are vested in two different people.
