Independence Assessment of Outside Advisers
• The Committee may select a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser to the
Committee or receive advice from a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser
(other than in-house legal counsel or any compensation consultant, legal counsel or other
adviser whose role is limited to the following activities for which no disclosure would be
required under Item 407(e)(3)(iii) of Regulation S-K: consulting on any broad-based plan
that does not discriminate in scope, terms, or operation, in favor of executive officers or
directors of the Company, and that is available generally to all salaried employees; or
providing information that either is not customized for a particular company or that is
customized based on parameters that are not developed by the compensation consultant, and
about which the compensation consultant does not provide advice) only after taking into
consideration all factors relevant to that person’s independence from management, including
the following:
• the provision of other services to the Company by the employer of the compensation
consultant, legal counsel or other adviser;
5
• the amount of fees received from the Company by the employer of the compensation
consultant, legal counsel or other adviser, as a percentage of the total revenue of the
employer of the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser;
• the policies and procedures of the employer of the compensation consultant, legal counsel
or other adviser that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest;
• any business or personal relationship of the compensation consultant, legal counsel or
other adviser with a member of the Committee;
• any stock of the Company owned by the compensation consultant, legal counsel or other
adviser; and
• any business or personal relationship of the compensation consultant, legal counsel, other
adviser or the employer of the adviser with an executive officer of the Company
The Committee shall evaluate whether any compensation consultant retained or to be
retained by it has any conflict of interest in accordance with Item 407(e)(3)(iv) of Regulation
S-K.
