 Governance Committee considers candidates recommended by shareholders as well as from other sources such as other directors or officers, third party search firms or other appropriate sources. Once identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate a candidate’s qualifications in accordance with its written charter and, if the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to the Board, it recommends his or her candidacy to the full Board. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not alter its criteria for evaluating candidates, including the criteria described above, for shareholder recommended candidates. Threshold criteria include personal integrity and sound judgment, business and professional skills and experience, independence, knowledge of our industry, conflicts of interest, the extent to which the candidate would fill a present need on our board of directors, and concern for the long-term interests of our shareholders.
