 officer's compensation made in connection with this review generally occur in the second quarter of the fiscal year with adjustments to cash compensation generally effective as of May 1 of the fiscal year and, unless further adjusted by the compensation committee, remaining in effect for the remainder of that fiscal year until May 1 of the subsequent fiscal year.

#### Compensation-Setting Process

#### Role of our Compensation Committee
Compensation decisions for our named executive officers are made by our compensation committee. Currently, our compensation committee is responsible for reviewing, approving and determining the compensation of our named executive officers and making recommendations to our Board of Directors and for administering all cash-based and equity-based compensation plans.

Our compensation committee, after consulting with our management team and Compensia, approves our corporate performance objectives, and makes decisions with respect to any base salary and cash incentive compensation adjustments and equity awards for our named executive officers. With respect to our executive bonus plan, our compensation committee determines the applicable performance targets for each corporate performance objective used for the applicable year. Near the end of the fiscal year, our compensation committee establishes the list of peer companies to develop the relevant market for determining executive pay levels and practices in the following fiscal year.

#### Role of Management
In carrying out its responsibilities, our compensation committee works with members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief People Officer and General Counsel. Given our other named executive officers work closely with him, our Chief Executive Officer is able to advise on the performance of all our other named executive officers; accordingly he is an actively involved observer of compensation committee meetings. Our Chief People Officer typically coordinates the agenda and leads management’s presentations to the compensation committee. Overall, our management team (together with Compensia) assists our compensation committee by providing information on corporate and individual performance, market data, and management’s perspective and recommendations on compensation matters as well as information on tax, accounting, legal and regulatory matters relating to executive compensation.

Except with respect to his own compensation, our Chief Executive Officer will make recommendations to our compensation committee regarding compensation matters, including the compensation of our named executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer also participates in meetings of our compensation committee, except with respect to discussions involving his own compensation.

While our compensation committee solicits the recommendations and proposals of our Chief Executive Officer with respect to compensation-related matters, these recommendations and proposals are only one factor in our compensation committee’s decision-making process.
