| Stock Ownership Guidelines - We have stock ownership guidelines for each of our executive officers and each has met their individual ownership level under the current program or has a period of time remaining under the guidelines to do so.                                                                                                      |
| Independent Compensation Advisor - The Compensation Committee benefits from its utilization of an independent compensation advisor, retained directly by the committee, that provides no other services to the Company.                                                                                                                              |
| Say-on-Pay - We annually seek a non-binding advisory stockholder vote to approve our named executive officer compensation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Stockholder Engagement - We engage with stockholders regularly and stockholder advisory firms on an as needed basis to obtain feedback concerning our business.                                                                                                                                                                                      |

| What We Don’t Do |

| “Single-Trigger” Change in Control Provisions - Our executive change in control policy does not have “single-trigger” provisions related to any non-equity payments or benefits.                                                                                                                                                                                       |
| Minimum Amounts - Amounts under the annual and long-term incentive compensation programs have no guaranteed minimum and can effectively be “zero” for any performance period for unsatisfactory results.                                                                                                                                                               |
| Option Repricing Prohibited - Our stock incentive plans prohibit option repricing without stockholder approval.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Hedging and Pledging Prohibited - We prohibit our employees, including our executive officers and directors, from hedging or pledging any Company securities.                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| Defined Benefit Pension Plans - We do not currently offer, nor do we have plans to provide, defined benefit pension arrangements for our executive officers.                                                                                                                                                                                                           |
| Perquisites - We provide minimal perquisites and other personal benefits to our executive officers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Tax Reimbursements - We do not provide any tax reimbursement or “gross-up” payments on any severance or change in control payments (including for any Section 280G excise taxes), perquisites or other personal benefits, other than immaterial COBRA reimbursements, standard relocation benefits, and tax equalization agreements related to expatriate assignments. |
