The Committee’s membership shall meet the requirements of applicable law and all rules set forth in the Company’s Bylaws or promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) and any other stock exchange or trading market on which the Company’s securities may be listed or approved for quotation. The Committee shall consist of two or more members of the Board who are, in the judgment of the Board, “independent,” as that term is defined by applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules.

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board at the Board meeting held immediately following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders or at any regular or special meeting of the Board, and each member shall serve until his or her successor shall be duly elected and qualified, until such member’s removal from the Committee by the Board or until such member ceases to be a member of the Board or ceases to meet the independence or other membership requirements set forth in this charter (the “Charter”). Vacancies on the Committee shall be filled by the Board, and any member of the Committee may be removed, with or without cause, by the action of a majority of the whole Board. Unless a Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the Board, the members of the Committee may designate a Chairman by majority vote of the full Committee membership.

III. MEETINGS

The Committee shall meet at least once per year and shall meet at the call of the Chairman of the Committee or of any two members of the Committee (or if there shall be only one other member, then at the call of that member) as often as the Chairman or the Committee member(s) deem appropriate. The Committee should meet at least annually with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. A majority of the Committee membership shall constitute quorum for the transaction of business (or if there shall be only two members, then both must be present), and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present (or if there shall be only two members, then they must act unanimously) shall be the act of the Committee. If there shall be only one member, then that member shall constitute a quorum and may act for the Committee. Those Committee members present in person or by means of telephone conference or other communications equipment through which all persons participating in the meeting can hear and speak with each other shall be counted to determine whether a quorum is present.

The Committee shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings, which minutes shall be recorded in the Minute Book of the Company. The Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Company may act as Secretary of the Committee, if requested, or the Committee may appoint one of its members or the Company’s outside legal counsel to act as Secretary of a meeting. The Committee may also act by unanimous written consent without a meeting, and any such written consent also shall be included in the Minute Book of the Company.

The Committee is authorized and empowered to adopt its own rules of conduct and procedure not inconsistent with this Charter, the Company’s Bylaws and applicable law.

The Committee shall have the authority to require that any of the Company’s personnel, counsel, accountants (including the Company’s auditors) or investment bankers, or any other consultant or advisor to the Company attend any meeting of the Committee or meet with any member of the Committee or any of its special outside legal, accounting or other advisors or consultants.
