### CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

#### The Board of Directors
We operate under the direction of our board of directors. The board of directors oversees our operations and makes all major decisions concerning our business.

#### Board Leadership Structure
The board of directors is currently composed of R. Ramin Kamfar, our Chief Executive Officer, and four independent directors: Elizabeth Harrison, Kamal Jafarnia, I. Bobby Majumder and Romano Tio. The board composition and our Corporate Governance Guidelines ensure strong oversight by independent directors. The board of directors’ audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee are each composed entirely of independent directors. The board of directors is led by Mr. Kamfar. As Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kamfar is responsible for leading board meetings and meetings of stockholders, generally setting the agendas for board meetings (subject to the requests of other directors) and providing information to the other directors in advance of meetings and between meetings. As Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Kamfar manages our business under the direction of the board of directors and implements our policies as determined by the board of directors. Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the board of directors does not require the role of the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer to be separated. However, our Corporate Governance Guidelines do require the appointment of a lead independent director if the Chairman of the Board is not an independent director.

Our lead independent director is I. Bobby Majumder, who was elected lead independent director by the nominating and corporate governance committee (comprised solely of the independent members of our board of directors). The role of our lead independent director includes the following duties:

•

call meetings of the independent directors, as needed;

•

develop the agendas for meetings of the independent directors;

•

preside at executive sessions of the independent directors;

•

confer regularly with the Chief Executive Officer; and

•

serve as a liaison between the Chief Executive Officer and the independent directors.
