AUTHORITY

 

The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ENGlobal Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Corporation”), is established pursuant to Article Tenth of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation and Section 78.125 of the Nevada General Corporation Law. The Committee shall be comprised of three or more non-employee directors as determined from time to time by resolution of the Board upon the recommendation of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. Consistent with the appointment of other Board committees, the members of the Committee shall be elected by the Board at the annual organizational meeting of the Board or at such other time as may be determined by the Board. The Chairman of the Committee shall be designated by the Board, provided that if the Board does not designate a Chairman, the members of the Committee, by majority vote, may designate a Chairman. The presence in person or by telephone of a majority of the Committee’s members (not including vacancies) shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the Committee. All actions of the Committee will require the vote of a majority of its members present at a meeting of the Committee at which a quorum is present. The Committee shall have the power to retain outside consultants or others to assist it in the evaluation of the Corporation’s compensation and benefits programs and agreements.

 

PURPOSE OF THE COMMITTEE

 

The Committee’s primary function is to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities by reviewing, approving and recommending employee and management compensation and benefit policies for the Corporation. This oversight includes the responsibility to consider and evaluate management’s recommendations and to further make recommendations to the Board as to the amount and form of compensation for directors and executive employees of the Corporation, and the administration of all annual bonus plans and the Corporation’s stock option plans in addition to any successor or replacement stock option plan.

 

COMPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE

 

The Committee shall consist of three or more members of the Board of Directors, each of whom is determined by the Board of Directors to be “independent” under the rules of the American Stock Exchange and the SEC. Additionally, no director may serve unless that director (1) is a “non-employee director” for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (2) satisfies the requirements of an “outside director” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

MEETINGS OF THE COMMITTEE

 

The Committee shall meet with such frequency and at such intervals as it shall determine is necessary to carry out its duties and responsibilities, but in any case, at least twice a year. The Committee shall meet at least annually with management to discuss general compensation strategy.

 

Each member of the Committee shall have one vote. A quorum of the Committee shall consist of a majority of the Committee’s members (not including vacancies). The Committee shall be authorized to take any permitted action only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Committee members present at any meeting at which a quorum of its members is present, or by the unanimous written consent of all of the Committee members.
