  CEO Succession Plan
The Board regularly reviews and approves a CEO succession plan.

Policy requiring directors to submit resignation if job changes
The Board expects that a Director who changes his or her principal business association will promptly offer his or her resignation from the Board in order to provide the Nominating and Governance Committee the opportunity to assess each situation based on the individual circumstances and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept the resignation. The Board will be free to accept or reject such resignation.

Policy limiting outside directors to 5 or fewer public company or mutual fund boards
Directors should limit their service as directors on publicly held company and investment company boards to no more than five (including the Company's Board). Service on the boards of subsidiary companies, not-for-profit enterprises and non-public for-profit enterprises are not included in this calculation. Moreover, if a Director sits on several mutual fund boards within the same fund family, it will count as one board for purposes of this calculation.

Director stock ownership guidelines
It is the recommendation of the Board that all directors hold an equity interest in the Company. Accordingly, each non-employee director should acquire and hold Company stock with a value equivalent to $25,000. Non-employee directors should satisfy this standard within four years from the date the director joins the Board or the adoption of this policy.

Executive stock ownership guidelines
It is the recommendation of the Board that all executive officers, consistent with their responsibilities to the shareholders of the Company as a whole, hold an equity interest in the Company. Accordingly, each executive officer of the Company should acquire and hold Company stock with a value equivalent to $100,000. Executive officers should satisfy this standard within four years from the date of becoming an executive officer or the adoption of this policy.
