Internal Review
Our Corporate Secretary is responsible for the initial review of correspondence to our Board. Except as described below, our Corporate Secretary will forward Board correspondence as follows:

• to any individual Director or group of Directors specifically named as addressee(s); and
• to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, who will refer the correspondence to the Chair of the Audit Committee if the communication is a complaint or concern involving an accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matter.

The Corporate Secretary will consult with the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee for any communications forwarded to Directors and regarding any response to the sender of the communication.

Our Board of Directors, including each of our non-management Directors, has authorized our Corporate Secretary to retain, without forwarding to any Directors, materials that are addressed to one or more of our Directors that include:

• product complaints, inquiries or suggestions;
• requests for information about Ryland, its products or services;
• resumes and other forms of job inquiries;
• surveys, form letters, spam, solicitations, advertisements, and invitations;
• employment concerns other than those involving accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters, which shall be forwarded to the Chair of the Audit Committee;
• materials which are incoherent, obscene, unduly hostile, threatening, illegal or similarly inappropriate;
• any correspondence relating to a subject clearly unrelated to our business, industry, management or Board or committee matters; and
• correspondence, materials or information that is generally operational in nature or directly relates to specific operational management responsibilities.

These types of communications will be logged and filed, but not circulated to any Directors, other than the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee for discussion purposes. Correspondence relating to our products, employment and other general business matters will be forwarded to members of management for consideration and action, if appropriate. The log of stockholder correspondence will be available to members of our Board for inspection. At least quarterly, our Corporate Secretary will provide to the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee a summary of all communications received from stockholders, including the communications not sent to Directors in accordance with the screening procedures described above. Each communication so screened shall be retained for at least one year and made available to any Director upon his or her request.
