#### Director Attendance at Annual Meetings
Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, we expect each member of our Board of Directors to attend each annual meeting of stockholders. Last year, all of the directors attended the annual meeting of stockholders.

#### Identification of Director Candidates
As stated in the CNG Committee Charter, the CNG Committee assists our Board of Directors in identifying and reviewing director candidates to determine whether they qualify for membership on the Board and for recommending to the Board nominees to be considered for election at our annual meeting of stockholders.

In making recommendations to our Board of Directors, the CNG Committee considers such factors as it deems appropriate. Though the Company does not have a formal policy addressing diversity, the Board of Directors and the CNG Committee believe that diversity is an important attribute of the members who comprise our Board of Directors and that members should represent an array of backgrounds and experiences and should be capable of articulating a variety of viewpoints. As such, directors should have diversity with respect to background, skills and expertise, industry knowledge and experience. The CNG Committee uses the following general criteria for identifying director candidates:

• Directors should possess senior level management and decision-making experience;

• Directors should have a reputation for integrity and abiding by exemplary standards of business and professional conduct;

• Directors should have the commitment and ability to devote the time and attention necessary to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders;

• Directors should be highly accomplished in their respective fields, with leadership experience in corporations or other complex organizations, including government, educational and military institutions;

• In addition to satisfying the independence criteria described in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, independent directors should be able to represent all stockholders of the Company;

• Directors who are expected to serve on a committee of the Board of Directors shall satisfy applicable legal requirements and other criteria established by any securities exchange on which our common stock is listed; and

• Directors should have the ability to exercise sound business judgment to provide advice and guidance to the Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman with candor.

The foregoing general criteria apply equally to the evaluation of all potential independent and management director nominees, including those individuals recommended by stockholders.

The Board of Directors’ assessment of an individual’s candidacy for director also includes consideration of diversity, age, skills and experience in the context of the needs of the Board of Directors.
