text: *Base Salary*
  Base salaries for executives recognize their qualifications, experience and responsibilities as well as their unique value and 
  historical contributions to Sundance. In addition to being important to attracting and retaining executives, setting base salaries 
  at appropriate levels motivates employees to aspire to and accept enlarged opportunities. We do not consider base salaries to 
  be part of performance-based remuneration. In setting the amount, the individuals' performance is considered as well as the 
  length of time in their current position without a salary increase.
