 executive officers. When determining the appropriate level and mix of compensation, the Compensation Committee gives consideration to factors including the named executive officer’s impact on the Company’s results, scope of responsibility, past accomplishments and prior experience, data on prevailing compensation levels and performance evaluations from the Chief Executive Officer on roles other than her own. For each named executive officer, the Compensation Committee determines each component of compensation based on its assessment of the executive’s achievement of her or his individual performance goals and objectives, as applicable, as well as the Company’s overall achievement of its goals and objectives. Role of Management The Chief Executive Officer does not participate in the Compensation Committee’s deliberations or decisions regarding her own compensation. At the Compensation Committee’s request, the Chief Executive 13

Officer reviews the performance of the other named executive officers. The Compensation Committee gives considerable weight to these evaluations because of the Chief Executive Officer’s direct knowledge of each executive’s performance, responsibilities and contributions. Typically, no other senior executive, except the Company’s principal human resources executive and/or such executive’s designee has any regular input into executive compensation decisions.

Role of the Independent Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) to serve as its independent compensation consultant. At the request of the Compensation Committee, FW Cook provides independent advice on proposals from management and insight into broader market practices and compensation trends for context, and has a consultant attend Compensation Committee meetings. FW Cook is engaged directly by the Compensation Committee, although its consultants may interact with management to enable the effective discharge of their duties.

The Compensation Committee reviewed the independence status of FW Cook and determined that the work provided by FW Cook did not raise any conflicts of interest. The Compensation Committee has sole authority to hire compensation consultants, determine the nature and scope of and the compensation for their services, evaluate their performance, and terminate their services. Compensation consultants do not determine the amount or form of executive and director compensation; their role is limited to providing data and advice to the Compensation Committee for its consideration and attending Compensation Committee meetings as requested.

The Compensation Committee may consider these inputs, observations and advice from compensation consultants as one factor in making decisions with respect to compensation matters along with information and analyses it receives from management and its own judgment and experience.
