Pursuant to the Company's bylaws ("Bylaws"), the Company has "plurality voting" for the election of Directors as described in Proposal No. 1 under "Plurality Voting". A plurality means that if stockholders are electing seven directors, the seven director nominees receiving the highest number of votes will be elected. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their vote for directors.
|
|
**
|
Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Company has "majority voting" for each matter submitted to Stockholders for vote other than the election of Directors as described in Proposal No. 2 and Proposal No. 3 under "Majority Voting".
|
|
+
|
This proposal is considered to be a non-routine matter. Votes that are withheld will not be included in the vote tally for the election of directors. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote clients' unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for the election of directors. As a result, any shares not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

++
|
This proposal is considered to be a non-routine matter. Abstentions will be counted towards the tabulation of votes cast on this proposal and will have the same effect as a negative vote. Brokerage firms do not have authority to vote clients' unvoted shares held by the firms in street name for this proposal. As a result, any shares not voted by a beneficial owner will be treated as a broker non-vote. Such broker non-votes will have no effect on the results of this vote.

|
Base Salary. Base salary is the fixed portion of each executive officer's total compensation. It is designed to provide income certainty and retain executives. In determining the base level of compensation for the executive officers, weight is placed on the following objective factors: the particular responsibilities related to the position; salaries or fees paid by companies of similar size in the industry; level of experience and expertise; and subjective factors such as leadership, commitment and attitude.
|
|
2.
|
Short-Term Incentive Compensation. The short-term incentive compensation is intended to reward an executive officer for his or her yearly individual contribution and performance of personal objectives in the context of our overall annual performance. The short-term incentive compensation is designed to motivate executives annually to achieve their predetermined objectives. In determining compensation and, in particular, short-term incentive compensation, the Compensation Committee and the Board consider factors

|
Stock Options. Stock options are a form of long-term equity incentive compensation granted from time to time to align executives' interests with those of the Company and its Stockholders and reward executives for their contribution to the creation of Stockholder value. Participants benefit only if the market value of our shares of Common Stock at the time of the stock option exercise is greater than the exercise price. In establishing the number of stock options that may be granted, reference is made to the recommendations made by the Compensation Committee as well as, from time to time, the number of similar awards granted to officers and directors of other publicly-traded companies of similar size in the same business as us. The Compensation Committee and the Board also consider previous grants of stock options and the overall number of stock options that are outstanding relative to the number of outstanding securities in determining whether to make any new grants and the size and terms of any such grants. With respect to executive officers, the Compensation Committee and the Board also consider the level of effort, time, responsibility, ability, experience and level of commitment of the executive officer in determining the level of long-term equity incentive awards. With respect to directors, the Compensation Committee and the Board also consider committee assignments and committee chair responsibilities, as well as the overall time requirements of the Board members in determining the level of long-term equity incentive awards.
|
|
4.
|
Restricted Share Units. Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") are a form of long-term equity incentive compensation granted from time to time to align executives' interests with those of the Company and its Stockholders and to attract and retain executives. RSUs are notional shares of Common Stock that have the same value as shares of Common Stock, and earn dividend equivalents as additional RSUs, at the same rate as dividends paid on Common Shares. No dividend equivalents will vest unless the associated RSUs also vest. In determining new grants of RSUs, the Compensation Committee and the Board consider factors similar to those contemplated when making new grants of stock options.
