 •We seek input from our stockholders and consider their views when designing our executive compensation programs;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              
 •Our programs are designed to pay for performance with a majority of our NEOs' target total compensation based on the performance of the Company and a significant portion linked to the achievement of long-term financial goals;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
 •Our executive compensation program incorporates practices that ensure ongoing good governance, including a "claw-back" policy, anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies, stock ownership guidelines and no excise tax gross-ups.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
 The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast is required to approve the advisory resolution in Proposal 2.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |     |                                                                                                                                        |
