Selection Process for New Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee leads the process of recruiting and recommending candidates to the Board. It is their responsibility to identify any gap between the current Board composition and the Corporation's strategic and business requirements and develop specific future composition targets.

Director selection is part of the vital process of renewal and change. It begins with the need for a director, and is not finished until the new director has been integrated as an effective contributor to a total team effort focused on shareholder value.

Directors will be chosen based on skills, commitment and their ability to add value to the Board.

Long Term Objectives:

• 1. Broaden the Board's background and skills.

• 2. Ensure directors have business experience compatible with our strategic and business objectives.

The selection process is not an exact science, but requires the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board to be proactive to the changing needs of the Company and the board itself.

The following process provides guidelines to assist the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in identifying and selecting nominees to the Board.

Step 1 - Current Board Analysis and Observations

• Review the background, experience and skills of each director.

• Develop a matrix to analyze and summarize the information.

• Make specific observations regarding Board composition. For example: industry knowledge, financial knowledge, geographic representation, foreign markets experience etc.

Step 2 - Corporate Strategic and Business Objectives

• Review the company's strategic and business objectives and identify their implications for the current composition of the Board.

Step 3 - Board Composition Target

• Identify any gaps between the current Board composition and the Company's strategic and business requirements, (For example: knowledge of a specific foreign market) and develop specific future composition targets.

Step 4 - New Director Criteria

• Develop criteria for new directors which will complement the current Board and assist the Board in achieving its mandate.
• The Committee may engage external search firms to identify candidates. Once a candidate is identified, he/she is interviewed by the Committee. The Committee then asks as many of the independent directors as possible to interview the candidate as well. Based on the various interviews, a candidate may be nominated by a majority of independent directors of the Committee to the Board.

Authority

The Committee shall have the authority to retain any search firm engaged to assist in identifying director candidates, and to retain outside counsel and any other advisors as the Committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion. The Committee shall have sole authority to approve related fees and retention terms.

The Committee is authorized to seek any information it requires from any employee of the Company in order to perform its duties.

The Committee shall have the authority to delegate any of its responsibilities to subcommittees as the Committee may deem appropriate in its sole discretion.

The Committee shall review at least annually the adequacy of this charter and recommend any proposed changes to the Board for approval.
