Audit Committee Charter

February 20, 2009

Purpose

The Audit Committee shall assist the Board in monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company, (2) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence, (3) the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditors, and (4) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements.

While the Audit Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, the function of the Audit Committee is oversight. It is not the duty of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and applicable rules and regulations. It is the responsibility of management to ensure that the financial statements are complete and accurate. It is the responsibility of the independent auditors to plan and conduct audits of those financial statements.

Committee Membership and Function

The Audit Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members. The members of the Audit Committee shall meet the independence, financial literacy and experience requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission, with the Board to affirmatively determine that the members are independent, and disclose that determination.

At least one member of the Audit Committee shall possess accounting or related financial management experience or education sufficient in the judgment of the Board to qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Board to affirmatively determine whether each member is an "Audit Committee Financial Expert," and disclose that determination. Audit Committee members shall not simultaneously serve on this Committee and the audit committees of more than two other public companies without receiving the prior approval of the Board of Directors.

The members of this Committee shall be appointed by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee and may be removed or replaced by the Board. The Chairperson of this Committee shall also be appointed by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Audit Committee will meet as often as it determines appropriate, but would be expected to meet not less frequently than quarterly. At each face-to-face meeting, the Audit Committee will meet separately in private session with the Company's independent auditors, Chief Accounting Officer, Chief Audit Officer, and Chief Legal Officer.

Committee Authority and Responsibilities

The Audit Committee shall have the sole authority to appoint, subject to shareowner ratification, or replace the independent auditor. The Audit Committee shall be directly responsible for the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work. The independent auditor shall directly report to the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee shall, except as indicated below, pre-approve all audit services (including audit services relating to internal controls) and all permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) by the independent auditors (and their affiliates). The Chairman of the Audit Committee is also delegated the authority to pre-approve such services and pre-approve or approve up to $500,000 for such services. The Chairman shall present such approvals at the next full Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee shall consult with management but shall not otherwise delegate these responsibilities.

The Audit Committee shall have the authority, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, to retain, determine the fees and other retention terms and terminate independent legal, accounting or other advisors. The Company shall provide appropriate funding, as determined by the Audit Committee, for payment of compensation to the independent auditor for purposes of rendering or issuing an audit report and to any advisors retained by the Audit Committee, and for ordinary administrative expenses of the Audit Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

The Audit Committee may request any officer or employee of the Company or the Company's outside counsel or independent auditor to attend a meeting of the Committee or to meet with any members of, or advisors to, the Committee. The Audit Committee may also, to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate, meet with the Company's investment bankers or financial analysts who follow the Company.

This Committee will report to the Board at the next regularly scheduled Board meeting after one or more Committee meetings, will otherwise regularly report to the Board and will annually conduct a performance review of its activities.

The Audit Committee shall:

Discuss with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the Company's financial statements, including any significant changes in the Company's selection or application of accounting principles, any major issues as to the adequacy of the Company's internal controls and any special steps adopted in light of material weaknesses, and any accounting adjustments that were noted or proposed but were passed (as immaterial or otherwise).
4. Review and discuss quarterly reports from the independent auditor on (a) all critical accounting policies and practices used; (b) all alternative treatments of financial information within generally accepted accounting principles that have been discussed with management, the ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments (as well as the treatment preferred by the independent auditor) and all material correcting adjustments identified by the independent auditor; (c) other material written communications between the independent auditor and management, such as any management letter (and the Company's response) or schedule of unadjusted differences; and (d) any problems, difficulties or differences encountered in the course of the audit work, including any disagreements with management or restrictions on the scope of the auditor's activities or on access to requested information.
5.

6. Discuss with management and the independent auditor the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives as well as off-balance sheet structures on the Company's financial statements.
7. Discuss with management the Company's major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures, including the Company's risk assessment and risk management policies.

9. Review disclosures made to the Audit Committee by the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer during the certification process for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Form 10-K and Form 10-Q about any significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting or material weaknesses therein and any fraud involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal controls.
10. Prepare the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in the Company's annual proxy statement.
11. Review and discuss with management (including the head of Internal Audit) and the independent auditor, management's internal controls report and the independent auditor's attestation of the report prior to the filing of the Company's Form 10-K.
12. Review with the independent auditors, the Company's internal auditor, and financial and accounting personnel, the adequacy and effectiveness of the accounting and financial controls of the Company, and elicit any recommendations for the improvement of such internal control procedures or particular areas where new or more detailed controls or procedures are desirable.

Evaluate the qualifications, performance and independence of the independent auditor, including considering whether the auditor's quality controls are adequate and the provision of permitted non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the auditor's independence, and taking into account the opinions of management and the internal auditor. The Audit Committee shall present its conclusions with respect to the independent auditor to the Board.
16. Monitor the regular rotation of audit partners by the independent auditors as required by law.
