#### Stockholder Recommendations for Director Nominees
The Nominating Committee is responsible for evaluating and recommending candidates to the Board. The Committee’s Charter sets forth certain specific, minimum qualifications that must be met by a Nominating Committee recommended nominee for a position on the Board, as well as qualities and skills that Board members must possess.
