        <Explanation>The Board or any subset acting as a compensation committee or position review committee (should it be established) is authorized to make recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation. Only those members of the compensation committee or position review committee (should it be established) who are free of conflicts of interest may be involved in evaluation of executive compensation. The compensation committee or position review committee (should it be established) prior to making its recommendation, should gather and rely upon appropriate data as to the comparability of compensation packages for executives similar to those governed under this policy, to the extent such information is reasonably available, and shall contemporaneously place such data and other reasons for its recommendation in the committee minutes, which shall be provided to the Board of Directors. If the compensation committee or position review committee (should it be established) does not have data as to comparability, it shall document in the committee minutes any other bases for believing the proposed compensation is reasonable. The compensation committee or position review committee (should it be established) shall make this determination at least once annually, at least thirty (30) days before the Board takes final action on determining the reasonableness of the executive's compensation. Only those directors who are free of conflicts of interest may vote on executive compensation. The Board shall review and approve executive compensation only after the Board's review of comparability data or other evidence demonstrating that the compensation package is reasonable, and shall document its deliberation and decision in the Board minutes.</Explanation>
