 tables on pages 56 and 59. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with the NEOs, in the form as set forth on an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Kfiled on February 22, 2016, providing for: indemnification for indemnifiable claims and losses; advancement of expenses; and D&O liability insurance. Compensation Practices and Risk On an annual basis, the Committee reviews the potential for risk regarding our compensation program design, including incentive compensation. The Committee has reviewed the Company’s compensation programs for employees generally and has concluded that these programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Committee believes that the design of the Company’s annual cash and long-term equity incentives provides an effective and appropriate mix of incentives to help ensure the Company’s performance is focused on long-term stockholder value creation and does not encourage the taking of short-term risks at the expense of long-term results. Short-term incentive award payouts to the NEOs are subject to review and approval of the Committee, and the Committee also reviews with the independent members of the Board the CEO’s incentive award. In addition, incentive award payouts are capped at 2x target. The Committee has the

This includes a mandatory clawback policy that complies with SEC rules and NYSE listing standards.CEO and Senior Management Succession PlanningManagement succession planning and talent development are reviewed by the Board annually as part of its leadership and organizational review process.
