PROXY STATEMENT
ROLLINS, INC.
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD APRIL 24, 2007


        This Proxy Statement and a form of proxy were first mailed to stockholders on or about April 4, 2006.March 27, 2007. The following information concerning the enclosed proxy and the matters to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 25, 2006,24, 2007, is submitted by the Company to the stockholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Company's Board of Directors.


SOLICITATION OF AND POWER TO REVOKE PROXY

        A form of proxy is enclosed. Each proxy submitted will be voted as directed, but if not otherwise specified, proxies solicited by the Board of Directors of the Company will be voted in favor of the candidates for election to the Board of Directors.

        A stockholder executing and delivering a proxy has power to revoke the same and the authority thereby given at any time prior to the exercise of such authority, if he so elects, by contacting either proxy holder or by attending the meeting and voting in person. However, a beneficial stockholder who holds his shares in street name must secure a proxy from his broker before he can attend the meeting and vote. All costs of solicitation have been, and will be, borne by the Company.

Householding and Delivery of Proxy Materials

        The Company has adopted the process called "householding" for mailing the Proxy Material in order to reduce printing costs and postage fees. Householding means that stockholders who share the same last name and address will receive only one copy of the Proxy Material, unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholder at that address. The Company will continue to mail a proxy card to each stockholder of record.

        If you prefer to receive multiple copies of the Proxy Material at the same address, additional copies will be provided to you promptly upon written or oral request. If you are a stockholder of record, you may contact us by writing to the Company 2170 Piedmont Rd., NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 or by calling 404-888-2000. Eligible stockholders of record receiving multiple copies of the Proxy Material can request householding by contacting the Company in the same manner.


CAPITAL STOCK

        The outstanding capital stock of the Company on March 17, 200616, 2007 consisted of 68,585,56768,205,089 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote (non-cumulative) for each share of such stock registered in their respective names at the close of business on March 17, 2006,16, 2007, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

        A majority of the outstanding shares will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. In accordance with the General Corporation Law of the state of Delaware, the election of the nominees named herein as Directors will require the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the shares of Company Common Stock entitled to vote in the election provided that a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. In the case of a plurality vote requirement (as in the election of directors), where no particular percentage vote is required, the outcome is solely a matter of comparing the number of votes cast for each nominee, with those nominees receiving the most votes being elected,



and hence only votes for director nominees (and not abstentions) are relevant to the outcome. In this case, the twothree nominees receiving the most votes will be elected. The affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company is required for approval of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation. With respect to the proposal to approve the amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the proposal. There are no rights of appraisal or similar dissenter's rights with respect to any matter to be acted upon pursuant to this Proxy Statement. It is expected that shares held of record by officers and directors of the Company, which in the aggregate represent approximately 56.858 percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, will be voted for the nominees for directors and in favor of the proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation.nominees.

        The names of the executives named in the Summary Compensation Table and the name and address of each stockholder (or "group" as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act)Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) who owned beneficially over five percent (5%) of the shares of Common Stock of the Company on March 17, 2006,16, 2007, together with the number of shares owned by each such person and the percentage of outstanding shares that ownership represents, and information as to Common Stock ownership of the

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

        Management is responsible for the Company's internal controls and the financial reporting process. The Company's independent public accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is generally to monitor and oversee these processes, as described in the Audit Committee Charter. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; that is the responsibility of management.

        In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to the year ended December 31, 2005,2006, the Audit Committee:

        Based upon the review and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 20052006 and 20042005 and for the three years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 20032006 be



included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20052006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        In giving its recommendation to the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee has relied on (i) management's representation that such financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and (ii) the report of Grant Thorntonthe Company's independent registered public accounting firm with respect to such financial statements.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE
ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATIONDISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

        TheCompensation Committee

        During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, the members of our Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors hasheld primary responsibility for determining the base salary for all of the executive officers, the stock-based incentive plans for all of the executive officers, as well as the cash incentive plan for all of the executive officers.compensation levels. The Compensation Committee is comprisedcomposed of outsidethree of our non-management directors who aredo not eligible to participate in the Company's compensation plansplans. The Committee determines the compensation and over whose names this report is presented.administers the performance-based cash compensation plan for our executive officers. In addition, the Committee also administers our Stock Incentive Plan for all the employees.

        The members of our Compensation Committee have extensive and varied experience with various public and private corporations—as investors and stockholders, as senior executives, and as directors charged with the oversight of management and the setting of executive compensation levels. Henry B. Tippie, the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, has served on the board of directors of twelve different publicly traded companies and has been involved in setting executive compensation levels at all of these companies. Messrs. Wilton Looney and James B. Williams have served on the board of directors of several different publicly traded companies and have similarly been involved in setting executive compensation levels at many of these companies.

        The Compensation Committee has authority to engage attorneys, accountants and consultants, including executive compensation consultants, to solicit input from management concerning compensation matters, and to delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more directors or members of management where it deems such delegation appropriate and permitted under applicable law. The Committee has not used the services of any compensation consultants in determining or recommending the amount of form of executive compensation.

        The Compensation Committee believes that determinations relative to executive compensation levels are best left to the discretion of the Committee. In addition to the extensive experience and expertise of the Committee's members and their familiarity with the Company's performance and the performance of our executive officers, the Committee is able to draw on the experience of other directors and on various legal and accounting executives employed by the Company, isand the Committee has access to the wealth of readily available public information relative to structuring executive compensation programs and setting appropriate compensation levels. The Committee also believes that the structure of our executive compensation programs should not become overly complicated or difficult to understand. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels.

General Compensation Objectives and Guidelines

        We are engaged in a highly competitive industry. The actions of the executive officers have a profound impactWe believe that our success depends on the short-termour ability to attract and long-term profitability of the Company; therefore, the design of the executive officer compensation package is very important.retain highly qualified and motivated executives. In order to retain key employees, the Company has anaccomplish this objective, we have endeavored to structure our executive compensation packagein a fashion that is based on increase in shareholder value, the overalltakes into account our operating performance of the Company, and the individual performance of the executive.

        The measuresCompensation Committee endorses the philosophy that executive compensation should reflect Company performance and the contribution of executive officers to that performance. The Company's compensation policy is designed to achieve three fundamental objectives: (i) attract and retain qualified executives, (ii) motivate performance to achieve Company objectives, and (iii) align the interests of our executives with the long-term interests of the Company's stockholders.

        The Committee recognizes that there are many intangibles involved in evaluating performance consideredand in motivating performance, and that determining an appropriate compensation level is a highly subjective endeavor. The analysis of the Committee is not based upon a structured formula and the objectives referred to above are not weighted in any formal manner.



        Pursuant to our compensation philosophy, the total annual compensation of our executive officers is primarily made up of one or more of three elements. The three elements are salary, annual performance-based incentive compensation and grants of stock based awards such as restricted stock.

        We believe a competitive base salary is important to attract, retain and motivate top executives. We believe annual performance-based incentive compensation is valuable in recognizing and rewarding individual achievement. Finally, we believe equity-based compensation makes executives "think like owners" and, therefore, aligns their interests with those of our stockholders.

        Effective November 1, 2006, we adopted a formal Stock Ownership Guidelines for our executive officers and note that our executive officers are significant stockholders of the Company, as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement. The purpose of these Guidelines is to align the interests of executives with the interests of shareholders and further promote our longstanding commitment to sound corporate governance.

        The Committee is mindful of the stock ownership of our directors and executive officers but does not believe that it is appropriate to provide a mechanism or formula to take stock ownership (or gains from prior option or stock awards) into account when setting compensation levels. As do many public companies, we have historically provided in our insider trading policies that directors and executive officers may not sell Company securities short and may not sell puts, calls or other derivative securities tied to our Common Stock.

        We expect that the salary and other compensation paid to our executive officers will qualify for income tax deductibility under the limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code However, it is possible that the Committee may authorize compensation which may not, in a specific case, be fully deductible by the Company.

        The Company does not have a formal policy relative to the adjustment or recovery of incentives or awards in the event that the performance measures upon which incentives or awards were based are later restated or otherwise adjusted in a manner that would have reduced the size of an incentive or award. However, as all incentives and awards remain within the discretion of the Compensation Committee, the Committee retains the ability to take any such restatements or adjustments into account in subsequent years.

Salary

        The salary of each executive officer is determined by the Compensation Committee. In making its determinations, the Committee in determining 2005 executive officer compensation were primarily revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement,gives consideration to our operating performance for the prior fiscal year and pretax profit improvement over the past year.

        Pursuantindividual executive's performance. The Committee solicits input from our Chief Executive Officer with respect to the above compensation philosophy, the three main components of the executive compensation package are base salary, an incentive cash plan and stock-based incentive plans.

        The factors subjectively used in determining base salary include the recent profit performance of our executive officers and their compensation levels. Effective January 24, 2006, the Company,following adjustments were made to the magnitude of responsibilities, the scope of the position, individual performance and the pay received by peers in similar positions in the same geographic area. These factors are not used in any specific formula or weighting. Thebase salaries of our executive officers: Gary W. Rollins $1,000,000 (no change from 2005); R. Randall Rollins: $850,000 ($130,000 increase from 2005); Glen Rollins: $500,000 ($50,000 increase from 2005); Harry J. Cynkus: $350,000 ($100,000 increase from 2005); and Michael W. Knottek: $350,000 ($75,000 increase from 2005). Effective January 1, 2007, the following adjustments were made to the base salaries of our executive officers are reviewed annually. Three executive officers received raises in 2005 that were based on company performance as well as their individual performancesofficers. Gary W. Rollins: $1,000,000 (no change from 2006); R. Randall Rollins: $900,000 ($50,000 increase from 2006); Glen Rollins $600,000 ($100,000 increase from 2006); Harry J. Cynkus $400,000 ($50,000 increase from 2006); and overall departmental improvements.Michael W. Knottek $385,000 ($35,000 increase from 2006).

Performance-Based Plan

        At the Annual Meetingannual meeting of stockholders held on April 22, 2003, the stockholders approved the terms of the Company's Performance-Based Incentive Cash Compensation Plan for Executive Officers (the "Cash Incentive Plan"). Under the Cash Incentive Plan, executive officers have an opportunity to earn



bonuses of up to 80% of their base salaries, not to exceed a maximum dollar amount of $2,000,000 per individual per year, upon achievement of bonus performance goals, which are preset every year by the Compensation Committee upon its approval of the performance bonus program for that year. For 20052006 these performance goals were measured by attainment of specific levels of the following: Rollins, Inc. revenue growth, pretax profit plan achievement, and pretax profit improvement over the prior year. The bonus performance goals for 2005 were pre-established by the Compensation Committee has set a maximum award of 60% of executive's base salaries for fiscal year 2006 for Messrs. R. Randall Rollins, Gary W. Rollins and ratified by the BoardGlen Rollins and a maximum award of Directors40% of executive's base salary for all executive officers.fiscal year 2006 for Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek. The Committee believes that the Cash Incentive Plan and the performance bonus programs thereunder provide performance incentives that are and will be beneficial to Rollins, Inc.the Company and its stockholders. This plan will be in place until April 22, 2008. All of the



Executive Officers participating in the Cash Incentive Plan earned a bonus for 20052006 as a result of achievement of pre-established performance goals. Under the Cash Incentive Plan the Company must achieve 90 percent of planned income for the executive officers to be eligible for payment. The cash compensation performance goals of the plan are difficult to achieve, but achievable.

        Messrs. Harry J. Cynkus and Michael W. Knottek also participate in the Company's Home Office Bonus Plan. Under this Plan, the participants may receive a bonus of up to five percent (5%) of the participant's annual salary for achievement of the participant's expense plan and an additional five percent (5%) of annual salary for achievement of internal customer service survey results.

        Cash payments under the Cash Incentive Plan and the Home Office Plan are paid the following year. Payments made under the 2006 Cash Incentive Plan and the Home Office Plan in 2007 to the executive officers are as follows: Gary W. Rollins $442,156; Harry J. Cynkus $123,676; R. Randall Rollins $375,172; Glen Rollins $220,570 and Michael W. Knottek $123,676.

Equity Based Awards

        Our Stock Incentive Plan allows for a wide variety of stock based awards such as stock options and restricted stock awards. We last issued stock options in fiscal year ended 2003 and have no immediate plans to issue additional stock options. Partially in response to changes relative to the manner in which stock options are accounted for under generally accepted accounting principles, we have modified the structure and composition of the long-term equity based component of our executive compensation. In recent years, we have awarded time-lapse restricted stock in lieu of granting stock options. The terms and conditions of these awards are described in more detail below.

        Awards under the Company's stock incentive plansStock Incentive Plan are purely discretionary, and are not based upon any specific formula and may or may not be granted in any given fiscal year. For the past two years, we have granted time-lapse restricted stock to various employees, including our executive officers, in early January during our regularly scheduled meeting of the Compensation Committee during which the Committee reviews executive compensation. Consistent with this practice, we granted restricted stock awards to our executive officers in January 2006 and 2007 as follows:

Name

 2006
 2007
Gary W. Rollins 25,000 25,000
R. Randall Rollins 15,000 20,000
Glen Rollins 12,000 15,000
Harry J. Cynkus 10,000 10,000
Michael W. Knottek 10,000 10,000

        It is our expectation to continue yearly grants of restricted stock awards although we reserve the right to modify or discontinue this or any of our other compensation practices at anytime.



        To date, all of our restricted stock awards have had the same features. The shares vest one-fifth per year beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date. Restricted shares have full voting and dividend rights. However, until the shares vest, they cannot be sold, transferred or pledged. Should the executive leave our employment for any reason prior to the vesting dates (other than due to death or retirement on or after age 65), the unvested shares will be forfeited. In the event of a "change in control" of the Company, the Compensation Committee has the discretion to accelerate vesting of the shares.

        Grants are made under our Stock Incentive Plan and the plan is administered pursuant to Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. When considering the grant of stock options and other equity compensation (such as restricted stock),based awards, the Compensation Committee gives consideration to theour overall performance of the Company and the performance of individual employees. Grants

Employment Agreements

        There are madeno agreements or understandings between the Company and any executive officer which guarantee continued employment or guarantee any level of compensation, including incentive or bonus payments, to the executive officer.

Retirement Plans

        The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for all of our eligible employees, a non-qualified supplemental retirement plan for our executives (the "Deferred Compensation Plan"), and a 401(k) savings plan for the benefit of all of our eligible employees. The Company ceased all future retirement benefit accruals under the Retirement and Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. The Company approved the Deferred Compensation Plan in June 2005. The Company currently plans to credit accounts of participants of long service to the Company with certain discretionary amounts ("Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits") in lieu of any Company pension plan. The Company intends to make Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits under the Deferred Compensation Plan for five years, with the first such credit being made in January 2007 for those participants who are employed for all the 2006 plan year. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 2005 qualify for the Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits. Messrs. Randall Rollins, Gary Rollins, Glen Rollins, Michael Knottek and Harry Cynkus are expected to receive Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits of 3%, 3%, 1.5%, 3%, and 3% of their annual salary (up to a maximum annual salary of $220,000), respectively, annually under the Deferred Compensation Plan. The Deferred Compensation Plan also provides other benefits as described below under "Nonqualified Deferred Compensation").

Other Compensation

        Other compensation to our executive officers includes group welfare benefits including group medical, dental and vision coverage, and group life insurance. The Company provides certain perquisites to its executive officers which are described below under "Executive Compensation." The Company requires that it's Chairman and its President and CEO use Company or other private aircraft for air travel whenever practicable for security reasons.

BENEFIT PLANSPENSION BENEFITS

        The Company's Retirement Income Plan, a trusteed defined benefit pension plan, provides monthly benefits upon retirement at age 65 to eligible employees. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company's Board of Directors approved a resolution to cease all future retirement benefit accruals under the Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. Retirement income benefits are based on the average of the employee's compensation from the Company for the five consecutive complete calendar years of highest compensation during the last ten consecutive complete calendar years ("final average compensation") immediately preceding June 30, 2005. The current credited years of service for the five individuals named in the executive compensation table are: R. Randall Rollins—21, Gary W. Rollins—35, Glen Rollins—16, Michael W. Knottek—7 and Harry J. Cynkus—6. The estimated annual benefit payable at the later of retirement or age 65 for the Named Executives is $82,100$82,059 for Mr. Randall Rollins, $155,700 for Mr. Gary Rollins, $29,800 for Mr. Glen Rollins, $13,600 for Mr. Knottek and $11,300 for Mr. Cynkus. The Plan also provides reduced early retirement benefits under certain conditions. In accordance with the Code, the maximum annual benefit that could be payable to a Retirement Income Plan beneficiary in 20052006 was $170,000. However, this annual dollar limitation is actuarially increased for a participant whose pension commences later than his Normal Retirement Date. In accordance with the Code (as amended by the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001), the maximum compensation recognized by the Retirement Income Plan was $210,000$220,000 in 2005.2006. Retirement benefits accrued at the end of any calendar year will not be reduced by any subsequent changes in the maximum compensation limit.

Reflects the amounts for each of the named executive officers which are reported as compensation to such named executive officer in the Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 19.

        The Deferred Compensation Plan provides that participants may defer up to 50% of their base salary and up to 100% of their annual bonus with respect to any given plan year, subject to a $2,000 per plan year minimum. The Company may make discretionary credits to participant accounts. The Company currently plans to credit accounts of participants of long service to the Company with certain discretionary amounts ("Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits") in lieu of benefits that previously accrued under the Company's Retirement Income Plan. The Company ceased all future benefit accruals under the Retirement Income Plan effective June 30, 2005. The Company intends to make Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits under the Deferred Compensation Plan for five years, with the first such credit being made in January 2007 for those participants who are employed for all of the 2006 plan year. Only employees with five full years of vested service on June 30, 2005 qualify for Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits. The Company intends to make comparable payments on behalf of certain employees (i.e., certain employees who do not participate in the plan) under the Company's 401(k) Plan. Messrs. Randall Rollins, Gary Rollins, Glen Rollins, Michael Knottek and Harry Cynkus, each a Named Executive Officer, are expected to receive Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits of 3.0%, 3.0%, 1.5%, 3.0% and 3.0% of their annual salary (up to a maximum annual salary of $210,000)$220,000), respectively, equal to the percentage of their annual contribution.

        The accounts are unfunded.        Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, salary and bonus deferrals and Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits are generally 100% vested, but any discretionary credits other than Pension Plan Benefit Restoration Credits would be subject to vesting in accordance with the matching contribution vesting schedule set forth in the Company 401(k) plan in which a Participantparticipant participates. If a participant participates in more than one Company 401(k) plan, such discretionary



credits would vest in accordance with the 401(k) plan's vesting schedule that would provide the participant with the greatest vested percentage.

        Accounts will be credited with hypothetical earnings, and/or debited with hypothetical losses, based on the performance of certain "Measurement Funds." Account values are calculated as if the funds from deferrals and Company credits had been converted into shares or other ownership units of



selected Measurement Funds by purchasing (or selling, where relevant) such shares or units at the current purchase price of the relevant Measurement Fund at the time of the participant's selection. Deferred Compensation Plan benefits are unsecured general obligations of the Company to the participants, and these obligations rank in parity with the Company's other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Company has established a "rabbi trust," which it intends to useuses to voluntarily set aside amounts to indirectly fund any obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan. To the extent that the Company's obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan exceed assets available under the trust, the Company would be required to seek additional funding sources to fund its liability under the Deferred Compensation Plan.

        Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan provides for distributions of any deferred amounts upon the earliest to occur of a participant's death, disability, retirement or other termination of employment (a "Termination Event"). However, for any deferrals of salary and bonus (but not Company contributions), participants would be entitled to designate a distribution date which is prior to a Termination Event. Generally, the Deferred Compensation Plan allows a participant to elect to receive distributions under the Deferred Compensation Plan in installments or lump-sum payments.

401(k) Plan

        Effective October 1, 1983, the Company adopted a qualified retirement plan designed to meet the requirements of Section 401(k) of the Code ("401(k) Plan"). The only form of benefit payment under the 401(k) Plan is a single lump-sum payment equal to the vested balance in the participant's account on the date the distribution is processed. Under the 401(k) Plan, the full amount of a participant's vested benefit is payable upon his termination of employment, retirement, total and permanent disability, or death. While employed, a participant may withdraw a certain amount of his pre-tax and rollover contributions upon specified instances of financial hardship, and may withdraw all or any portion of his pre-tax and rollover account after attaining the age of 591/2. A participant may withdraw all or any portion of his after-tax account at any time and for any reason. Amounts contributed by the Company to the accounts of Named Executives under this plan are included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table above.

APPENDIX A

ROLLINS, INC.
CHARTER OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

PURPOSE

        The Audit Committee (the "Committee") is appointed by the Board of Directors (the "Board") to assist the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Committee's primary purpose is to monitor the integrity of the Company's financial reporting process, including (by overseeing the financial reports and other financial information provided by the Company to any governmental or regulatory body, the public or other users thereof) the Company's systems of internal accounting and financial controls, the performance of the Company's internal audit function, the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, the Company's compliance with ethics policies and legal and regulatory requirements statements, and the annual independent audit of the Company's financial statements. The Committee will monitor the independence, performance, and qualifications of the Company's independent auditors.

        In discharging its oversight role, the Committee is empowered to investigate any matter brought to its attention with full access to all books, records, facilities and personnel of the Company. The Committee is authorized to retain outside counsel, auditors or other experts and professionals for this purpose. The Board and the Committee are in place to represent the Company's shareholders; accordingly, the outside auditor is ultimately accountable to the Board and the Committee.

        The Company shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of compensation to any registered public accounting firm engaged for the purpose of rendering or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the company and to any advisors employed by the Company as well as ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

MEMBERSHIP

        The Committee shall be comprised of not less than three members of the Board, and the Committee's composition shall meet all requirements of the Audit Committee policy of the New York Stock Exchange.

        Accordingly, all of the members must be directors:



KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

        The Committee's primary responsibility is to oversee the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board and report results of their activities to the Board on a regular basis. While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company's financial statements and for the appropriateness of the accounting principles and reporting policies that are used by the Company as well as the Company's internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company's financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and for issuing a report hereon.

        The Committee, in carrying out its responsibilities, believes its policies and procedures should remain flexible, in order to best react to changing conditions and circumstances. The Committee should take appropriate actions to set the overall corporate "tone" for quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices, and ethical behavior. The following shall be the principal duties and responsibilities of the Committee. These functions are set forth as a guide with the understanding that the Committee may diverge from this guide as appropriate under the circumstances.

        The Committee shall be directly responsible for the appointment and termination (subject, if applicable, to shareholder ratification), compensation, and oversight of the work of the independent auditors, including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditor regarding financial reporting. The Committee shall pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent auditors and shall not engage the independent auditors to perform the specific non-audit services proscribed by law or regulation. The Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to a member of the Committee. The decisions of any Committee member to whom pre-approval authority is delegated must be presented to the full Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

        At least annually, the Committee shall obtain and review a report by the independent auditors describing:

        In addition, the Committee shall set clear hiring policies for employees or former employees of the independent auditors that meet the SEC regulations and the New York Stock Exchange listing standards.

        The Committee shall discuss with the internal auditors and the independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits, including the adequacy of staffing and compensation. Also, the Committee shall discuss with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls, including the Company's policies



and procedures to assess, monitor, and manage business risk, and legal and ethical compliance programs (e.g., Company's Code of Conduct).

        The Committee shall meet separately periodically with management, the internal auditors, and the independent auditors to discuss issues and concerns warranting Committee attention.
