Nominations

The Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board. The Board expects that the Committee will both seek, and consider in response to properly-submitted shareholder recommendations, candidates for election or appointment to the Board who have excellent decision‑making ability, business experience, technical, professional, or educational background, personal integrity and reputation. In addition, the Board recognizes the benefit of board membership that reflects the diversity of the Company’s shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities in which it operates. Accordingly, the authority, responsibilities and duties of the Committee with respect to nominations are as follows:

Annually identify, recruit and select qualified nominees to stand for election or re‑election as directors at the annual meeting of shareholders.

In the case of a vacancy in the office of a director (including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board), select and recommend to the Board a qualified candidate to fill such vacancy.

Before selecting a nominee for election or re-election or recommending a director to fill a vacancy, review and evaluate (i) whether the candidate is under the mandatory retirement age of 72; (ii) his or her qualifications, including judgment, skill, capability, conflicts of interest, business experience, technical/professional/educational background; (iii) personal qualities and characteristics, accomplishments, and reputation in the business community; (iv) current residency, knowledge and contacts in the communities, or knowledge and contacts in the industries the Company serves; (v) ability and willingness to commit adequate time, or in the case of incumbent directors, past participation and contribution, to Board and committee matters; (vi) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with that of the other Board members; (vii) the extent to which a candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any committee of the Board, (viii) if applicable, whether the candidate would be deemed “independent” under marketplace rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market and SEC regulations, (ix) whether the candidate is qualified and likely to remain qualified to serve under the Company’s By-Laws and Corporate Governance Guidelines; (x) diversity of viewpoints,

background, experience, and other demographics; and (xi) such other factors the Committee deems relevant.

Approve waiver of the age restriction for an existing director upon determination that such director’s continued service through the current term, or nomination for additional terms, is in the best interests of the Company.

Review the qualifications of, evaluate and select, if warranted, director nominees submitted in good faith to the Board by shareholders in accordance with the procedures for submitting shareholder nominations set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines or otherwise established by the Board or the Committee. The Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders on the same basis as other candidates, but may consider, in its decision whether to select such candidates, information respecting the number of shares held and the length of time the shareholder has invested in the Company.

Other

Delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee.

Review its own performance and this charter and recommend any proposed changes every other year coincident with the biennial self-assessment of the full Board.
