Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held four meetings in 2008. This committee has responsibility for overseeing corporate governance matters affecting the Company, including developing and recommending criteria and policies relating to service and tenure of directors. The committee is responsible for collecting the names of potential nominees to the Board, reviewing the background and qualifications of potential candidates for Board membership, and making recommendations to the Board for the nomination and election of directors. The committee also reviews membership on the Board committees and makes recommendations on committee members and chairs. In addition, the committee reviews recommendations from the Compensation and Management Resources Committee and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the form and amount of directors’ compensation.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may establish criteria for candidates for Board membership. These criteria may include area of expertise, diversity of experience, independence, commitment to representing the long-term interests of the Company’s stakeholders, and other relevant factors, taking into consideration the needs of the Board and the Company and the mix of expertise and experience among current directors. From time to time the committee may retain the services of a third party search firm to identify potential director candidates.

The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Directors recommended by shareholders that comply with the provisions of the Company’s By-Laws and relevant law, regulation, and stock exchange rules. The procedures for shareholders to follow to propose a potential director candidate are described on Page 63.

After a potential nominee is identified, the Committee Chair will review his or her biographical information and discuss with the other members of the committee whether to request additional information about the individual or to schedule a meeting with the potential candidate. The committee’s screening process for director candidates is the same regardless of the source who identified the potential candidate. The committee’s determination on whether to proceed with a formal evaluation of a potential candidate is based on the person’s experience and qualifications, as well as the current composition of the Board and its anticipated future needs.
