(the “Company”) through delegation from the Board, has principal responsibility to assist the Board with respect to compensation, director nomination and governance matters.
With respect to its compensation functions, the Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board with respect to compensation matters, including:
- evaluating, recommending, approving and reviewing executive officer compensation arrangements, plans, policies and programs maintained by the Company;
- overseeing the Company’s equity-based compensation plans and the Company’s bonus plan, whether adopted prior to or after the date of adoption of this charter (the “Charter”) (including issuance of stock options and other equity-based awards granted other than pursuant to a plan);
- reviewing, assessing and making recommendations to the Board regarding non-employee director compensation; and
- making recommendations to the Board regarding its remaining responsibilities relating to executive compensation
With respect to its nominating and governance functions, the Committee’s purpose is to assist the Board with respect to director nominations and corporate governance matters, including:
- identifying, evaluating, and, in its sole authority, recommending potential candidates for nomination to and membership on the Board and certain of its committees, including the Privacy Committee;
- reviewing corporate governance guidelines and policies for the Company;
- overseeing an annual evaluation of the Board and its committees; and
- advising the Board on corporate governance matters and Board performance matters, including recommendations regarding the size, structure and composition of the Board and its committees.
This Charter sets forth the authority and responsibility of the Committee in fulfilling its purpose. Unless approval by the Committee is specifically required pursuant to this Charter or applicable law, the responsibility for overseeing and approving the Company’s compensation arrangements resides with the Company’s management. For the avoidance of doubt, any action that may or is to be taken by the Committee may, to the extent permitted by law or regulation, be taken directly by the Board in lieu of Committee action, except those actions identified in this Charter as being within the sole authority of the Committee.
