#### Overview
The Board has adopted comprehensive Corporate Governance Guidelines to define responsibilities, set high standards of professional and personal integrity, and ensure compliance with such responsibilities and standards. The Board of Directors annually monitors developments in the area of corporate governance and reviews the Corporate Governance Guidelines. Some of our significant corporate governance policies and practices are listed below.

| INDEPENDENCE AND COMPOSITION OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS                                                         
 •Eight of our nine current directors are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards.                       
 •Our Board is led by an independent chair so our President and CEO can focus on his executive leadership role. 
 •All of our directors are elected for one-year terms.                                                          |

| MAJORITY VOTING FOR DIRECTORS                                                                                                                                                                          
 •We have adopted a majority vote standard for the election of directors in an uncontested election.                                                                                                    
 •Any incumbent director who does not receive a majority of the votes cast in an uncontested election must promptly tender an irrevocable resignation, which is contingent upon the Board’s acceptance. |

| STANDING COMMITTEES                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
 •The members of all four of the Board’s standing committees are independent and, where relevant, meet the heightened independence standards prescribed by the Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules for service on particular committees. 
 •The majority of Audit Committee members, including the Audit Committee Chair, qualify as “audit committee financial experts” pursuant to SEC guidelines.                                                                                  
 •Each standing committee operates under a written charter that is available on our website.                                                                                                                                                
 •The chairs of each committee rotate every five years and the Chair of the Board rotates every ten years.                                                                                                                                  |
