#### Process for Nominating Directors
The Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, recruiting, evaluating and recommending to the Board nominees for election at the Annual Meeting.

Identification and Evaluation Process. Generally, the process for identifying and evaluating nominees to the Board is initiated by Governance Committee and Board discussions concerning the skills and competencies of the current membership of the Board. While the Board does not have any mandatory policies with respect to rotation of committee assignments or chairs, its process for identifying and evaluating nominees does take into account the periodic rotations of committee chairs and committee members. Its process also seeks to address both short-term and longer-term needs of the Board.

Once the need for a new Director has been determined, the Board begins a process to identify a candidate who meets the criteria for selection as a nominee and has the specific qualities or skills being sought based on input from members of the Board, management, stockholders or others and, if the Governance Committee deems appropriate, a third-party search or board advisory firm.

To help the Governance Committee determine whether Director nominees qualify to serve on our Board and would contribute to the Board's current and future needs, candidates undergo a series of interviews with, and evaluations by, the CEO, the Chair of the Governance Committee and generally one or more other members of the Governance Committee. In addition, candidates complete questionnaires regarding their backgrounds, qualifications, skills and potential conflicts of interest. Candidates are evaluated by the Governance Committee reviewing the candidates' biographical information and qualifications and checking the candidates' references.

Using the input from the interviews and other information it has obtained, the Governance Committee evaluates whether the prospective candidate is qualified to serve as a Director and whether the Governance Committee should recommend to the Board that the Board nominate the prospective candidate for election by the stockholders or to fill a vacancy on the Board.
