Each Committee member must be financially literate, as determined by the Board in its business judgment, and at least one Committee member must be an “audit committee financial expert,” as determined by the Board in accordance with applicable SEC rules and regulations and NYSE listing standards, as they may be amended from time to time. Committee members and the Committee Chairman shall be appointed by and may be removed by the Board on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. Committee members shall not simultaneously serve on the audit committees of more than two other public companies.

POWERS

The Committee has all powers necessary to carry out its purpose and discharge its responsibilities. These include the power to directly retain outside legal counsel, accountants, experts and other advisors as the Committee determines necessary to perform its responsibilities, without additional approval from the Board, the power to investigate any matter within the scope of its duties, with full access to books, records, facilities and personnel necessary to do so. The Company shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to the External Auditors and any other advisors retained by the Committee and for the payment of ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.
