| To the extent that the Governance Committee believes that specific skills, characteristics or experience needs to be added to the Board, the Governance Committee initiates a search for a Board nominee, seeking input from Board members and senior management. |                            |     | The Governance Committee may retain professional search firms to identify director candidates and maintains the authority to approve the fees and other retention terms of any such firm. |                           |     | The criteria for evaluating director nominees takes into account the candidate’s intellect, integrity, judgment, experience and background, including diversity, such as race, gender and ethnicity, as well other factors deemed appropriate in adding value to the composition of the Board. |                                  |     | As set forth in our Corporate Governance Principles, the Governance Committee is committed to actively seeking highly qualified women and minority candidates, as well as candidates with diverse backgrounds, skills and experiences, as part of the search process for new director candidates. |                    |

Finally, in order to ensure that our independent directors have sufficient time to devote to overseeing the Company, our Corporate Governance Principles prohibit our directors from serving on the board of directors of more than three other publicly traded companies, unless the Board determines that such service will not impair the ability of such director to effectively perform his or her obligations as our director. The Governance Committee believes that it has been able to attract and appoint directors of diverse backgrounds in the past using the criteria set forth above. We believe the Governance Committee has a sound director evaluation process and that such process is an effective method for determining whether a director is fit to serve on the Board. Our Governance Committee welcomes candidates recommended by shareholders and, assuming a submission is in proper form as provided under our By-Laws, it will apply the same standards described above to the evaluation of a shareholder nominee as it applies to all nominees, including those recommended by current directors, employees and others. The procedural and disclosure requirements of our By-Laws provide that shareholders who would like to propose a Board nominee for consideration by the Governance Committee must deliver written notice to our Corporate Secretary, including disclosure of (i) the relationship between the nominating shareholder and the underlying beneficial owner, if any,
