Our directors and NEOs, as well as our employees or their designees, are prohibited from engaging in “short sales” of our stock or otherwise hedging the risk of ownership of our stock regardless of the manner in which the stock was attained (i.e., as an award from our LTIP, a gift, or from a direct purchase of the stock in the open market). Hedging is generally defined as purchasing a financial instrument that does, or is intended to, hedge or offset any decrease in the market value of our stock. We have also adopted a policy that prohibits our directors and executive officers from pledging their Company stock or engaging in any other transaction that has the effect of using Group 1 securities as collateral.

#### TAX DEDUCTIBILITY OF INCENTIVE COMPENSATION
While the CHR Committee considers the deductibility of compensation paid to our NEOs as one factor in its determinations, the CHR Committee will ultimately structure compensation in a manner that meets our business, retention and incentive goals, even if some of it may be non-deductible.

#### CERTAIN EQUITY AWARD GRANTS
We do not currently grant stock options or option-like equity awards to our employees or directors. Consequently, we do not currently have a formal practice or policy with respect to the grant of stock options or option-like awards.
