Role of the Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all compensation programs (including equity compensation) applicable to our executive officers and directors, our overall strategy for employee compensation, and the specific compensation of our CEO, other executive officers, our other employees at the level of senior vice president and above, and any vice president whose compensation exceeds approved guidelines for cash or equity compensation. The committee’s review of executive officer compensation includes, but is not limited to, a review of the continued holding power of past equity incentive awards. The committee has the sole authority to select, retain, and terminate special counsel and other experts (including compensation consultants), as the committee deems appropriate. As discussed in more detail below, in 2008, the committee retained a compensation consultant that reported directly to the committee.
