Role of Executive Officers in Executive Compensation Discussions

The Compensation Committee may from time to time solicit the input of our Chief Executive Officer regarding compensation for our other executive officers, particularly with respect to salary, cash bonus opportunities and equity awards. The Compensation Committee seeks this input because of the Chief Executive Officer’s close working relationship with the other executive officers and to ensure that compensation decisions are aligned with our strategic objectives. While our Chief Executive Officer may participate in some deliberations regarding compensation for our other executive officers, he does not participate in, and is not present at, any deliberations or vote regarding his own compensation. The Compensation Committee considers the information provided by our Chief Executive Officer in making executive officer compensation decisions and recommendations to our Board, but the Compensation Committee and the Board, as appropriate, retain exclusive authority to make all executive compensation decisions.

While we continue to grant equity to senior management, we focus on limiting dilution by balancing equity compensation with other incentives provided under our corporate bonus plan and employee benefit plans.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |
