#### Compensation for CEO and Named Executive Officers
The Compensation Committee carefully considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer when making decisions on setting base salary and granting awards under the incentive cash bonus plan to other NEOs. The Compensation Committee determines equity incentive awards for each NEO on a case by case basis. In making compensation determinations, the Compensation Committee acts on the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, with modifications as deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee, for NEOs other than the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee determines each element of compensation for the Chief Executive officer and the other NEOs.

#### Annual Base Salary
We target the base salary levels of our CEO and NEOs within a competitive range of benchmark pay levels defined in the competitive benchmarking analysis performed by NFP, as mentioned on pages 33-35. We believe these levels are appropriate to motivate and retain our CEO and NEOs, who each have leadership talents and business expertise that make them attractive to other companies. In addition, when adjusting salaries, we may also consider the individual performance of the executive.
