Significant Majority of Executive Officer Pay Tied to Performance<br />

Our annual compensation program has three primary elements: base salary, annual cash performancebased<br />

incentives and long-term equity performance-based incentives. As the graph below shows, the<br />

performance-based incentives constitute by far the largest portion of target compensation for our NEOs:<br />
