Policy with Respect to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
 
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code places a $1 million per person limitation on the tax deduction we may take for compensation paid to our Chief Executive Officer and our three other highest paid executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer except that compensation constituting performance-based compensation, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, is not subject to the $1 million limit. The Compensation Committee reserves the discretion to pay compensation that does not qualify for exemption under Section 162(m) where the Compensation Committee believes such action to be in the best interests of our stockholders.

The Compensation Committee generally intends to grant awards under our long-term stock incentive plan consistent with the terms of Section 162(m) so that such awards will not be subject to the $1 million limit. However, the Compensation Committee reserves the discretion to pay compensation that does not qualify for exemption under Section 162(m) where the Compensation Committee believes such action to be in the best interests of our stockholders.
