#### Director Compensation
The Nominating Committee reviews and recommends to the Board the compensation of the company’s non-management directors. The Nominating Committee generally reviews director compensation every two years to help ensure that director compensation remains competitive. As part of its review, the Nominating Committee consults with McLagan Partners (“McLagan”) to determine the reasonableness and adequacy of the company’s non-management director compensation.

Currently, the non-management directors receive an annual retainer of $210,000 ($100,000 of which is payable quarterly in cash and $110,000 of which is payable quarterly in restricted stock units). The restricted stock units are granted under the company’s Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan and are 100% vested on the grant date and delivered on the third anniversary of the grant date. Any fractional shares are paid in cash. Non-management directors are paid in cash when the company pays dividends on its common stock.

In addition, the chairman of the Board receives an annual cash retainer of $180,000; the chair of the Audit Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $15,000; the chair of the Compensation Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $7,500; and the chair of the Nominating Committee receives an annual cash retainer of $5,000. Members of the Audit Committee (including the committee chair) receive an annual cash retainer of $15,000; members of the Compensation Committee (including the committee chair) receive an annual cash retainer of $7,500; and members of the Nominating Committee (including the committee chair) receive an annual cash retainer of $5,000. All retainers are payable quarterly in arrears.

Our directors and officers have the opportunity to co-invest in certain funds or investment vehicles for which the company serves as advisor without being subject to management fees or carried interest.

Non-management directors are reimbursed for reasonable travel and related expenses associated with attendance at in-person Board and committee meetings as well as reasonable expenses for continuing education programs related to their role as members of the Board.

Non-management directors are not paid additional fees for attending, either in person or telephonically, individual meetings of the Board or its committees. Compensation for participation in such meetings is included in the annual retainers
