II. | ORGANIZATION AND MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS |
The Committee shall be appointed by the Board and shall be comprised of two or more directors, each of whom shall satisfy the applicable independence requirements of the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) and any other applicable regulatory requirements, subject to any exceptions or cure periods that are applicable pursuant to the foregoing requirements and the phase-in periods permitted under the rules of Nasdaq under which the Committee is required to have only one independent member at the time of listing, a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing and all independent members within one year of listing.
Each member of the Committee shall serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until such member’s earlier resignation, removal or death. Any member of the Committee may be removed or replaced by the Board at any time with or without cause. Unless a chair (the “Chair”) of the Committee is elected by the full Board, the members of the Committee may designate the Chair by majority vote of the full Committee membership. The Chair shall preside at all regular meetings of the Committee and set the agenda for each Committee meeting.
The Committee shall meet as often as it deems necessary or appropriate to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder and, at least once during each fiscal year. The Committee may meet with management or individual directors at such time as it deems appropriate to discuss any matters before the Committee. The Committee may request that any employee of the Company attend any of its meetings or meet with any Committee member or consultant thereof. The Committee shall meet periodically in executive session without the presence of management. Meetings shall be called by the Chair or, if there is no Chair, by a majority of the members of the Committee.
A majority of the members shall represent a quorum of the Committee and, if a quorum is present, any action approved by at least a majority of the members present (in person, telephonically, by video conference or through similar means of remote communication) shall represent the valid action of the Committee. The Committee may also take action by unanimous written consent without a meeting. Any actions taken by the Committee during any period in which one or more of the members fail for any reason to meet the membership requirements set forth above shall still constitute duly authorized actions of the Committee for all corporate purposes.
