In addition, while our Board of Directors may elect to reevaluate the size of the Board of Directors, if the Board of Directors elects to fill any vacancy on the Board of Directors the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is committed to prioritizing for nomination a qualified director candidate who is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the NYSE and who enhances the Board’s collective perspectives through a combination of relevant experience, professional expertise, and collaborative leadership. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee reserves the right to recommend and nominate additional members to the Board of Directors from time to time.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Corporate Governance and Related Matters ( continued ) The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines do not include mandatory retirement ages or term limits applicable to directors. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee annually reviews the performance and qualifications of each current director and considers the results of such evaluation when determining whether or not to recommend the nomination of such director for an additional term. In addition, although the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee considers length of service when recommending candidates for re-election, the Board of Directors does not believe that adopting a set term limit for directors serves the interests of the Company.

This information should include the candidate’s name, biographical data and an analysis of the candidate based on the director candidate criteria described below.
