In addition, candidates expected to serve on the Audit Committee must meet independence and financial literacy qualifications imposed by the NASDAQ Global Select Market and by the SEC and other applicable law. Candidates expected to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee or the Compensation Committee must meet independence qualifications set out by the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Our evaluations of potential directors include, among other things, an assessment of a candidate's background and credentials, personal interviews, and discussions with appropriate references. Once we have selected a candidate, we present him or her to the full Board for election if a vacancy occurs or is created by an increase in the size of the Board during the course of the year or for nomination if the director is to be first elected by the Company's stockholders. All directors serve for a one-year term and must stand for reelection annually. Stockholder Recommendations and Nominations Recommendations A stockholder who wishes to recommend a candidate for the Board should send a letter to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee at the Company's principal executive offices providing: (i) information relevant to the candidate's satisfaction of the criteria described above under "Director Nomination Process" and (ii) information that would be required for a director nomination under Section 1.11 of the By-Laws. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider and evaluate candidates recommended by stockholders in the same manner it considers candidates from other sources. Acceptance of a recommendation does not imply that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend, and the Board will ultimately nominate, the recommended candidate.
