Director Independence. The Corporation requires that each of the Board’s outside Directors be and remain for his/her entire tenure independent from any conflicts of interest in representing the interests of the shareholders. Accordingly, no outside Director shall be elected or nominated for election to the Board if such person, a member of such person’s family or his/her employer has a material or significant business relationship with the Corporation, its affiliates or major suppliers. The Committee will review and confirm on an annual basis the independence of the outside Directors, pursuant to the applicable standards then in effect.

Director Tenure. No outside Director or candidate shall be considered or allowed to stand for election to the Board if he/she shall have reached 72 years of age at the time of such election. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if recommended by the Committee, the Board may allow a currently serving outside Director who shall have reached age 72 at the time of such election to be nominated for one additional three-year term.

Director Retirement. An outside Director who first joined the Board before January 2018 and who, after completing at least one three-year term, retires from the Board, resigns from the Board, or decides not to stand for re-election to the Board (i.e. reaches “retirement”) shall be entitled to annual retirement pay equal to the cash portion of the annual Director’s retainer (exclusive of any committee chair fees) last paid to the Director prior to his or her retirement. For outside Directors who retire after May 2020, the maximum annual benefit is $62,500.

Director’s Action. The Director may engage separate legal or other representation and participate in a claim or proceeding against the Director by reason of or arising out of the Director being a director of the Company but any expenses incurred by the Director in relation to such representation or participation will only be borne by the Company to the extent that those expenses are the subject of an indemnity provided for in clause 2 and that those expenses incurred in circumstances where the Company has refused to authorise representation or participation by lawyers other than lawyers acting also for the Company and there is a reasonable likelihood that the interests of the Director and of the Company would conflict if the same lawyers were to act on behalf of both the Director and the Company.
