Long-Term Incentive Compensation The Company has granted equity-based awards to executives from time to time, typically in the form of stock options, RSUs, or PSUs. The primary purpose of granting equity-based awards is to align our executives and stockholders with a common goal of long-term stockholder value creation. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options issued with exercise prices equal to fair market value on the date of grant that have a time-based vesting requirement can be an effective retention and incentive tool because the stock options only produce value to the extent that the executive continues to be employed by us and the stock price increases, which in turn creates value for all stockholders. The Compensation Committee also believes that RSUs and PSUs provide a base level of long-term incentive compensation vesting over time that promotes the retention of key employees and ties executive compensation to the creation of long-term stockholder value through appreciation in the Company’s stock price or other appropriate performance measures. The Chief Executive Officer typically consults with other senior executive officers, the Chairman of the Board, and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee regarding his recommendations for long-term incentive awards to 29

our executive officers (other than himself). The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of data provided periodically by its compensation consultant, reviews the recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer and makes awards as it deems appropriate. Although a number of factors are considered, equity awards granted to our executive officers are determined on a case-by-caseand discretionary basis, rather than pursuant to a formula. Factors considered include individual performance potential, retention, the amount that vests annually, and competitive market-based compensation packages. Awards are typically granted to our executive officers each February and may also be granted at other times during the year, such as in connection with a promotion, when a newly hired executive begins employment with the Company or to incentivize achievement of specific operational or financial goals. The number of shares underlying equity awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer and the frequency of grants to him are determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. It is the practice of the Compensation Committee to review such grants to the Chief Executive Officer with the other independent members of the Board.
