It is the Company’s policy to enter into or ratify Related Person Transactions only when it is determined that the Related Person Transaction in question is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

2. It is the responsibility of each Related Person to report potential Related Person Transactions to the Chief Legal Officer. It is the responsibility of any employee who suspects a Transaction may involve a Related Person to report the potential Related Person Transaction to the Chief Legal Officer. The Chief Legal Officer shall determine whether any Transaction reported constitutes or is reasonably likely to constitute a Related Person Transaction and shall refer such Transactions to the Committee for review.
3. In determining whether to approve or ratify a Related Person Transaction, the Committee may consider all facts and circumstances that it deems appropriate, including:
   • information provided in the annual director and officer questionnaires;
   • the aggregate dollar amount of the proposed Transaction;
   • the approximate amount of the Related Person’s interest in the proposed Transaction, without regard to the amount of any projected profit or loss;
   • whether the proposed Transaction would occur in the ordinary course of business of the Company;
   • the purpose and benefits of the proposed Transaction to the Company;

4. If a Related Person Transaction directly or indirectly involves a director or an immediate family member of a director, such director may not participate in the deliberations or vote respecting such transaction, except that such director shall provide all material information concerning the Related Person Transaction to the Committee. If the director is also a Committee member, such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Committee at which the potential Transaction is considered.
5. If it is impractical to wait until a Committee meeting to consummate a Transaction with a Related Person, the chairperson of the Committee may approve the Transaction. Any such approval is subject to ratification by the Committee at its next meeting. If the Related Person is a member of the Committee, the Transaction with the Related Person shall be reviewed by the Committee (with the Related Person not participating in such review), and the Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board regarding the Transaction.
