“The board of directors must approve in advance, compensation for officers of the corporation. Before approving the compensation of an officer, the board determines that total compensation including benefits is reasonable in amount in light of the position, responsibility and qualification of the officer for the position held, including the result of an evaluation of the officer's prior performance for the corporation, if applicable. At the time of the discussion and decision concerning an officer's compensation, the officer is not present in the meeting. The board shall obtain and consider appropriate data concerning comparable compensation paid to similar officers in like circumstances and geographical region. The executive committee sets forth the basis for its decision with respect to compensation in the minutes of the meeting at which the decisions are made, including the conclusion of the evaluation and the basis for determining that the individual's compensation was reasonable in light of the evaluation and comparability data.”
