2012 Executive Compensation Program and Decisions
Our annual compensation program has three primary pay components:
Base salary
Annual performance-based cash bonuses
Long-term equity performance-based incentives
Our target pay philosophy for these components as compared to
the market is (see page 35 for discussion on comparator group):
Chief Executive Offi cer total cash and total compensation at
the 75th percentile
Named Executive Offi cer base salary between the 50
th
and
75
th
percentile, bonus target at 75
th
percentile and long-term
incentives at the 50th percentile
The Committee reviews the pay mix at several specifi c companies
in our Executive Peer Group, and also considers the pay mix of the
Executive Peer Group as a whole.
As the graph below shows, and consistent with our philosophy to reward performance, the performance-based bonus and equity incentives
constitute by far the largest portion of target direct compensation for our Named Executive Of cers:
13%
21%
66%

How Compensation Decisions Are Made
Role of the Committee and Chief Executive Offi cer
In Januaryof each year, the Committee reviews the performance
and total compensation package of our Chief Executive Offi cer and
the other Named Executive Offi cers. The Committee reviews and
establishes each Named Executive Offi cers’ total compensation
target for the current year which includes base salary, annual bonus
opportunities and long-term incentive awards. The Committee’s
decisions impacting our Chief Executive Offi cer are also reviewed
and ratifi ed by the independent members of the Board.
In making these compensation decisions, the Committee relies on
the Chief Executive Offi cer’s in-depth review of the performance
of the other Named Executive Offi cers as well as competitive
market information. Compensation decisions are ultimately made
by the Committee using its judgment, focusing primarily on each
Named Executive Offi cer’s performance against his or her fi nancial
and strategic objectives, qualitative factors and the Company’s
overall performance. In making its decisions, the Committee also
consider s the total compensation of each Named Executive Offi cer
and retains discretion to make compensation decisions that are
refl ective of overall business performance.
