Do outside directors meet without the Chief Executive Officer present?
Yes. The non-employee directors of the Board generally meet without management present at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board and such meetings will be convened and chaired by the Lead Director. If one or more non-employee directors are not also independent directors, the independent directors shall meet in executive session at least annually in apition to any meetings of the non-employee directors. The format of these meetings includes, in part, a discussion with the Chief Executive Officer on each occasion.
