 that if a director’s principal occupation or business association changes, or if a director takes on significant additional business responsibilities, such director shall promptly inform the Board of such change and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall determine whether it is appropriate for such director to continue to serve on the Board. Whenever a member of our Board accepts a position with a company that is competitive to the Company’s business or violates our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Corporate Governance Guidelines or any other Company policy applicable to members of our Board, such Board member must offer his or her resignation to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for its consideration. Such Board member is expected to act in accordance with the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation in this regard. Executive Sessions of Non-Management Directors Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the NYSE listing standards, in order to promote open discussion among non-management directors, our Board of Directors devotes a portion of each regularly scheduled Board and committee meeting to executive sessions without management participation. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the group of non-management directors includes directors who are not independent, as defined in the NYSE’s listing standards, at least one such executive session convened per year shall include only independent directors. Our Chairperson of the Board presides and will continue to preside at these sessions. Director Nomination Procedures Our goal is to ensure that our Board of Directors consists of qualified individuals that function effectively as a group. While it is expected that qualifications and credentials for consideration as a director nominee may vary according to the particular areas of expertise being sought as a complement to the existing composition of the Board of Directors, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter provides that candidates for director must have the highest personal and professional integrity, demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and an ability to be effective, in conjunction with the other nominees to the Board, in collectively serving the long-term interests of the Company and its stockholders. In addition to the aforementioned qualifications, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall assess the nominee’s independence and may consider, among other things, the following, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that time:

| ■ | background, skill and experience; |

| ■ | personal qualities, high ethical standards and characteristics, accomplishments, and reputation in the business community; |

| ■ | knowledge and contacts in the communities in which the Company conducts business and in the Company’s industry or other industries relevant to the Company’s business; |

| ■ | ability
