Human Resources Committee Charter

Revised as of June 22, 2022

GENERAL

The Human Resources Committee (the “Committee”) is composed of Directors who are independent within the meaning of applicable New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules and the Company’s Director Independence Standards.  The Board of Directors (the “Board”) will determine whether the Human Resources Committee members meet these requirements.

Members of the Committee, including its Chairman, are selected by the Board on at least an annual basis, and the selections may be changed by the Board at any time. The Committee is responsible to the Board and reports regularly to the Board on the activities of the Committee. The Committee may create subcommittees and vest those subcommittees with the authority of the full Committee with respect to specific matters delegated to such subcommittees.

The Committee has authority to retain compensation consultants and other advisors (collectively, “Advisors”), as it deems necessary to carry out its duties, subject to compliance with the rules of the NYSE concerning the independence of the Advisors.  Any such Advisors shall report solely to the Committee.  The Committee shall approve the Advisors’ fees and other retention terms.  The Company shall provide for appropriate funding, as determined by the Committee, for payment of reasonable compensation to the Advisors.
