Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

Our compensation philosophy of strongly aligning pay with performance is grounded in best practices that are regulatory compliant, financially sound and provide long-term value to stockholders. Specifically, we:

Review peer group market data on an annual basis;

Discuss financial and operational performance rigorously in determining any base salary and incentive decisions;

Enforce maximums on incentive payments to limit undue risk;

Evaluate our compensation practices on an annual basis;

Retain an independent, outside consultant;

Do not provide plans generally outside of current market practices, and;

Do not offer excessive perquisites to our executives.

In designing our compensation programs for our named executive officers, we follow our belief that compensation should reflect the value created for stockholders while supporting our strategic business goals.
