 interests of the Company. In addition, the Board believes that having an independent Chairperson:

| (1) | increases the independent oversight of the Company and enhances the Board’s objective evaluation of our Chief Executive Officer, |

| (2) | provides our Chief Executive Officer with an experienced sounding board in the Chairperson, and |

| (3) | provides an independent spokesperson for the Company. |

Our Human Capital and Compensation Committee (“Compensation Committee”), Audit and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are currently comprised entirely of independent directors. The Board believes that having an independent Chairperson of the Board and independent Compensation, Audit and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees provides a structure for strong independent oversight of our management. Each committee chair presides over the chair’s committee meetings and reviews and approves meeting agendas, schedules and other information for the committee. We believe that the Board’s leadership structure, including its independent chair, majority of independent directors, and allocation of oversight responsibilities to appropriate committees, provides effective board- level risk oversight. If in the future the Board, after considering facts and circumstances at that time, appoints the Chief Executive Officer as Chairperson of the Board, we will promptly publicly disclose the appointment. Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, if the Chairperson is not an independent director, the independent members of the Board shall elect an independent director to serve as Lead Director, and the Board will develop duties and obligations for the Lead Director. We would expect any appointed Lead Director to generally assume the duties and responsibilities of our independent Chairperson described above.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight The Board is responsible for overseeing and monitoring our risk management processes. The Board is assisted in its oversight responsibilities by the standing Board committees, which have assigned areas of oversight responsibility for various matters as described in the Board committee charters and as provided in NYSE rules. The Board or the responsible committee considers short-term, medium-term and long-term risks in exercising their oversight responsibilities and considers the immediacy and magnitude of the potential impact of a particular risk in assessing mitigation strategies. Our Board committees meet regularly to discuss these areas of risk and report back to the Board. A summary of the areas of risk and oversight responsibilities allocated to the standing committees is set forth below.
