Director Biographies
Each of our directors is elected to serve until his or her
successor is duly elected and qualified. If a nominee is
unavailable for election, proxy holders may vote for
another nominee proposed by the board of directors or,
as an alternative, the board of directors may reduce the
number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting.
Each nominee has agreed to serve on the board of
directors if elected.
Set forth below is the information as of March 13, 2013,
regarding the nominees for election, which has been
confirmed by each of them for inclusion in this proxy
statement. Under the heading "Qualifications," we list
the specific experiences, qualifications, attributes, or
skills that led to the conclusion that each director or
director nominee should serve as one of our directors in
light of our business and structure.
No family relationship exists among any of our director
nominees or executive officers. To the best of our
knowledge, there are no pending material legal
proceedings to which any of our directors or nominees
for director, or any of their associates, is a party adverse
to us or any of our affiliates, or has a material interest
adverse to us or any of our affiliates. Additionally, to the
best of our knowledge, there have been no events under
any bankruptcy act, no criminal proceedings and no
judgments, sanctions, or injunctions that are material to
the evaluation of the ability or integrity of any of our
directors or nominees for director during the past
10 years.
