A member shall promptly notify the Equity Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Board if the member no longer qualifies as a Non-Employee/Outside Director, and such member shall be removed from the Equity Compensation Committee unless the Compensation Committee and the Board, in accordance with applicable rules and regulations, approves such member’s continued membership on the Equity Compensation Committee. Until such time as the Compensation Committee shall appoint at least two such qualified Non-Employee/Outside Directors to the Equity Compensation Committee, a majority of the Non-Employee/Outside Directors shall sit as the Equity Compensation Committee.

The Equity Compensation Committee will hold such regular or special meetings as its members shall deem necessary or appropriate. The Equity Compensation Committee may invite to its meetings other directors, members of management or other persons whose advice and counsel are sought by the Equity Compensation Committee.

At each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board, the Equity Compensation Committee shall deliver a report to the Board that describes all of the material actions taken by the Equity Compensation Committee since the prior regularly scheduled meeting of the Board.
