Investor Relations Corporate Governance Charters Charters Charter of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Board of Directors Mission Statement The Audit and Risk Committee (the “Committee”) is appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in monitoring (1) the integrity of the Company’s financial reporting, (2) the independent accountants’ qualifications, independence and performance, (3) the Company’s systems of internal controls, (4) the performance of the Company’s Internal Audit Department, (5) the Company’s Risk Governance Structure, and (6) the Company’s Compliance Risk Management Framework and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Responsibilities and Duties The Committee’s responsibility is one of oversight, and it recognizes that the Company’s management is responsible for both preparing the Company’s financial statements and managing its risks. In carrying out its oversight duties, it is not the Committee’s responsibility to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete or accurate or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Committee recognizes that financial management (including the internal audit staff), as well as the independent accountants, have more knowledge of accounting and auditing requirements and more detailed information about the Company than do the members of the Committee; consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurance as to the Company’s financial statements or any professional certification as to the independent accountants’ work. In carrying out its oversight duties, it is not the Committee’s responsibility to manage the Company’s risk functions nor report on their processes and assessments with respect to the Company's management of risk. The Committee recognizes that the Company’s risk management professionals have more knowledge of risk management requirements and more detailed information about the Company than do the members of the Committee; consequently, in carrying out its oversight responsibilities the Committee is not providing any expert or special assurances as to the Company's management of risk. The Committee shall prepare the report required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be included in the Company’s Annual Proxy statement. Membership The Committee shall consist of no fewer than three independent directors (in accordance with the independence standards adopted from time to time by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), SEC and other regulatory requirements). The members of the Committee and the Chair of the Committee shall be appointed annually by the Board of Directors and may be removed by the Board of Directors. The members of the Committee shall be persons who are financially literate, in the judgment of the Board of Directors. At least one of the members of the Committee shall be a person who, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, has “accounting or related financial management expertise” in accordance with NYSE listing standards. At least one of the members of the Committee shall be a person who, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, is qualified to serve as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by the SEC. At least one member of the Committee shall have experience in identifying, assessing and managing risk exposures of large, complex firms. No member of the Committee may serve simultaneously on the audit committees of more than three public companies, including that of the Company, unless the Board of Directors determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee and such determination is disclosed in accordance with the listing standards of the NYSE. Meetings and Discussions Generally, the Committee shall hold formal meetings prior to each quarterly meeting of the Board of Directors and telephone meetings with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and the independent accountants prior to the release of quarterly financial results. Additional meetings, either in person or by telephone, may be held from time to time as determined by the Chair of the Committee. In addition, members of the Committee are free to contact members of management including financial managers, compliance managers, the Chief Audit Executive, the Chief Risk Officer, the Chief Compliance Officer, the Company’s General Counsel, outside counsel and the Company’s independent accountants whenever they consider appropriate; the Committee may request reports or presentations at Committee Meetings from any of these individuals. The Committee shall meet periodically with senior management responsible for the Company’s financial reporting. Written minutes of the Committee meetings shall be maintained. At all Committee meetings, a majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The action of a majority of those members present at a meeting, at which a quorum is present (but in no event less than two members), shall be the action of the Committee. The Committee shall keep a record of its actions and proceedings. Financial Reporting Oversight; Relationship with Company’s Independent Accountants a. The Company’s independent accountants are ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors, as representative of the Company’s shareholders. The Audit and Risk Committee exercises the responsibility of the Board of Directors in that oversight role. b. The Committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment (subject to shareholder ratification in the Committee’s discretion as permitted by law), retention, compensation, and oversight of the work of the independent accountants employed by the Company (including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. In that connection, the independent accountants shall report directly to the Committee and the Committee shall determine appropriate funding for payment of compensation to the Company’s independent accountants. The Committee shall have the sole authority to terminate the auditor in its discretion. c. In connection with the appointment and reappointment of the independent accountants, the Committee shall review their independence and obtain written disclosures from them regarding all relationships with the Company that could affect their independence. In that connection at least annually the Committee shall obtain and review a report by the independent accountants describing: the firm’s internal quality-control procedures; any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting one or more independent audits carried out by the firm, and any steps taken to deal with any such issues; and (to assess their independence) all relationships between the independent accountants and the Company. The Committee shall also review and evaluate the lead partner of the independent accounting team. d. The Committee shall approve in advance any audit and non-audit services, including tax services, to be performed for the Company by its independent accountants, except for services that were not recognized at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services and for which the compensation does not exceed 5% of the total revenues paid to the independent accountants by the Company during the fiscal year; provided, however, that such "de minimis" services are approved by the Committee or one or more members to whom authority has been granted to make such approval prior to completion of the services. In that connection, the Committee shall receive from the independent accountants, at least annually, a written statement setting out all relationships between them and the Company and the fees paid for those services. e.

Prior to release of the financial results and related press releases for each quarter and the fiscal year, the Committee, or one of its members, shall review them with management and representatives of the independent accountants, and shall review with them the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis" section of the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Committee shall also discuss financial information and any earnings guidance provided to rating agencies and analysts, as well as non-GAAP financial measures.

Any earnings release or each instance in which the Company provides earning guidance need not be discussed in advance. l. At least annually, the Committee shall review with representatives of the independent accountants their judgments concerning the quality of the Company’s accounting principles as reflected in its financial reporting, whether those principles are consistent with industry standards or represent minority positions, and the clarity of disclosure of information.

In connection with the foregoing, the Committee shall review with the independent accountants: (1) All critical accounting policies and practices to be used; (2) All alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management officials of the Company, ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments, and the treatment preferred by the independent accountants; and (3) Other material written communications between the independent accountants and the management of the Company, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences. m.
