 and submits to our Board for adoption the committee’s selection criteria for director nominees. It reviews and makes recommendations on matters involving the general operation of our Board and our corporate governance and annually recommends to our Board the nominees for each committee of the Board.

#### Stock Ownership Guidelines
Our minimum share ownership guidelines for directors require that each director acquire and maintain a minimum number of shares equal to four times the basic annual cash retainer payable to non-employee directors within four years of becoming subject to the guidelines. From time to time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will review each director’s compliance with the guidelines and may grant exceptions to the guidelines as it deems appropriate. All of our directors are either currently in compliance with the minimum share ownership guidelines or are still within the four-year grace period for compliance.

Our minimum share ownership guidelines for executive officers require that our Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Financial Officer acquire and maintain a minimum equity investment in the company of 5,000 shares of our common stock. Any executive officer elected to an office subject to the minimum share ownership guidelines after the minimum share ownership guidelines became effective must be compliant within three years of the date of his or her election. Until the minimum equity investment is met, an executive officer subject to the guidelines must retain all of our common stock granted to him or her as compensation. From time to time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board will review each executive officer’s compliance with the guidelines and may grant exceptions to the guidelines as it deems appropriate and market-competitive on a case-by-case basis. All of our executive officers subject to the minimum share ownership guidelines are currently in compliance therewith.
