The Parent Board sets the compensation for each director who is not an officer of or otherwise employed by us (a nonexecutive director).
Nonexecutive directors who are employed by Ares or CPPIB or their respective affiliates do not receive compensation for their services as directors.
Ms. Aufreiter and Messrs. Axelrod, Bourguignon and Brotman, and Mr. Gundotra, a former member of the Parent Board, are not employed by Ares or CPPIB
or their respective affiliates and are the only directors who earned compensation for services as a director for fiscal year 2015. Pursuant to board service
agreements entered into between Parent and each of the nonexecutive officers, each nonexecutive director receives an annual fee of $50,000 for his or her
service as a director on the Parent Board. Such fee will be prorated for the actual number of days served in any quarter and is paid in arrears following the end
of each quarter. The nonexecutive directors are also reimbursed for any outofpocket expenses. Actual fees earned in fiscal year 2015 are set forth in the
Summary Compensation table below.
