COMPOSITION
1. The Committee shall have at least two (2) members at all times, each of whom must be an
independent director pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
regulations and the NYSE Amex LLC compliance standards. In order for a director to qualify
as independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director has no material
relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent
judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
2. The Board shall appoint each member of the Committee and a chairperson for the Committee
from among those members. Each member shall serve until the earlier to occur of the date on
which he or she is replaced by the Board, resigns from the Committee, or resigns from the
Board.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
3. The Committee shall seek individuals qualified to become directors of the Company,
including individuals recommended or nominated by stockholders or others. The Committee
shall determine each proposed nominees qualifications for service on the Board and conduct
appropriate inquiries into the backgrounds and qualifications of such nominees.
4. The Committee shall establish the criteria for Board membership, which should include,
among other things, experience, specialized skills, and the ability to act in the best
interest of the Companys stockholders.
5. The Committee shall recommend to the Board the director nominees for the next annual
meeting of stockholders. The Committee shall evaluate the performance of each director
before recommending to the Board his or her nomination for an additional term as director.
6. The Committee shall evaluate and recommend to the Board when new directors should be
added to the Board. When a vacancy occurs on the Board by reason of disqualification,
resignation, retirement, death, or an increase in the size of the Board, the Committee
shall recommend a replacement director to the Board.
7. The Committee shall periodically review the composition of each Board committee and, as
necessary, in the Committees discretion, recommend to the Board which directors should
serve on each standing committee.
8. The Committee shall establish and periodically review with the Board the procedures for
stockholders to send communications to the Board. Such procedures shall address the manner
in which stockholders may deliver communications to the Board and the identity of the Board
member or person to whom stockholders can send communications. If the Committee determines
that communications should be sent initially to a person other than a Board member, the
Committee shall establish the process for determining which communications will be relayed
to a Board member.
9. Assist the Board in the evaluation of potential successors to the CEO and to ensure that
a CEO succession plan is in place.

under this Charter. The chairperson of the Committee shall prepare and/or approve an agenda
in advance of each meeting. The Committee shall maintain minutes or other records of
meetings and activities of the Committee.

certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or this Charter.

representative of the Companys advisors, to attend a meeting or to meet with any member or
representative of the Committee.

taken by the Board and may be certified as such by the Secretary or other authorized officer of the
Company. The Committee has sole authority to retain and terminate such outside counsel, search firm

Company and the Committee will take all reasonable steps necessary to preserve the privileged
