#### Evaluating the Board's Effectiveness
The Board and each of its committees (Audit, CNG, Finance, and Risk) conduct an annual self-assessment aimed at enhancing their effectiveness. As part of the self-assessment process, the Board and committee members provide feedback on a range of topics relevant to the performance and effectiveness of the Board and the applicable committee. In addition, members of the Board participate in a peer evaluation of their fellow directors and provide comments on their own skills and qualifications. The Chair of the Company Board then meets separately with each director to discuss the results of the peer evaluations and individual self-assessments.

The results of the self-assessment process are aggregated and summarized for the Board and for each of the principal standing committees. Comments in the summaries are not attributed to individual Board or committee members to promote candor. The aggregated results and summary of the Board’s self-assessment are presented to each of the principal standing committees and the Board for review and discussion at a full Board meeting, at which time the Board considers what, if any, actions might be implemented to enhance future performance of the Board.

The CNG Committee considers the results of the self-assessment process when it periodically evaluates the size, structure and composition of the Board, as well as the role, composition and allocation of responsibilities among Board committees.

#### Consideration of Board Competency and Balance
Throughout the director nomination process, the CNG Committee seeks to achieve a well-rounded Board by selecting director nominees with a range of opinions, expertise and perspectives that are representative of our industry. The CNG Committee seeks to include members with varied backgrounds, skills and experience, including appropriate financial and other expertise relevant to the business of the Company.

The CNG Committee is committed to actively seeking highly qualified
