 COMPENSATION |

Governance and Other Considerations Compe nsation Recovery The Company adopted a compensation recovery policy in accordance with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the "Clawback Policy") that will apply if the result of a performance measure upon which an award granted in the three preceding fiscal years was based is subsequently restated. Upon such a restatement, the Compensation Committee shall direct the Company to recover any portion of any annual or long-term cash, equity or equity-based incentive paid, provided or awarded to any executive officer, including our NEOs, that represents the excess over what would have been paid based on the restated financial results in accordance with the Clawback Policy. Executive Offi cer Stock Ow nership Guidelines The Board adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines in 2010. The Stock Ownership Guidelines, as amended, require the Company’s executive officers to own a minimum number of shares of the Company’s common stock, depending on their position and compensation level. Shares that are deemed beneficially owned and credited toward the minimum stock ownership level include: shares of common stock owned outright or for which the executive officer is deemed the beneficial owner under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; restricted stock (whether or not the restrictions have lapsed); shares acquired upon stock option exercise or granted upon achievement of specified performance criteria; shares held in a 401(k) or other retirement benefit plan; and shares held in a trust in which the executive officer is either (1) both the grantor and trustee, or (2) a primary beneficiary. Until the minimum ownership level is achieved, the executive officer is required to retain at least 50% of the net after-tax shares received from equity awards. Each NEO currently complies with these requirements by either having achieved the required ownership level or by retaining the required amount of after-tax shares from equity awards
