The members of RC shall select a Chairperson from amongst their number who shall be an independent director. If a member of the Committee resigns, dies or for any other reason ceases to be member with the result that the number of members is reduced below three (3), the Board of Directors shall, within three (3) months of that event, appoint such number of new members as may be required to make up the minimum number of three (3) members.
