Governance Highlights

WHAT WE DO	WHAT WE DON’T DO
	Pay for performance: A portion of the compensation program for NEOs is designed to encourage the executives to remain focused on both our short-term and long-term operational success and to reward outstanding individual performance.	No IRC Section 280G or 409A tax gross-ups: We do not provide tax gross-ups under our change in control provisions or deferred compensation programs.
	Align Incentives with Stockholders: Our executive compensation program is designed to focus our NEOs on our key strategic, financial and operational goals that will translate into long-term value creation for our stockholders.
	Limited perquisites: We provide limited, reasonable perquisites that we believe are consistent with our overall compensation philosophy.
	Independent Governance: Our board of directors is currently majority independent and although we are not required to have fully independent Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees, our Compensation Committee is fully independent.
