Comments: Affiliated Outside director serving as a member of the Nominating Committee According to Egan-Jones' Proxy Guidelines a director whose tenure on the Board is 10 years or more is considered affiliated, with the exception of diverse nominees. We believe that key Board committees namely Audit, Compensation and Nominating committees should be comprised solely of Independent outside directors for sound corporate governance practice. | |||||||||||||||||||

Comments: Over-Boarded (CEO) According to Egan-Jones' Proxy Guidelines the CEO, being the most critical position in a company, should hold no more than one other public directorship to ensure the effective and prudent exercise of his fiduciary duties as a CEO and that his integrity and efficiency are not compromised. | |||||||||||||||||||

Comments: The sum total of our evaluation can be found in the Auditor Rating we give this auditor. Generally and absent other negative factors, we suggest a score of Neutral or higher. This audit firm has earned a grade of Needs Attention and thus, has failed to pass our model. After taking into account both the quantitative and qualitative measures outlined below, we believe that shareholders should not support the ratification of the auditors. Therefore, we recommend a vote AGAINST this Proposal. | |||||||||||||||||||

Comments: Affiliated Outside director serving as a member of the Nominating Committee According to Egan-Jones' Proxy Guidelines a director whose tenure on the Board is 10 years or more is considered affiliated, with the exception of diverse nominees.

Comments: The sum total of our evaluation can be found in the Auditor Rating we give this auditor. Generally and absent other negative factors, we suggest a score of Neutral or higher. This audit firm has earned a grade of Needs Attention and thus, has failed to pass our model. After taking into account both the quantitative and qualitative measures outlined below, we believe that shareholders should not support the ratification of the auditors.
