All Members shall be non-executive and independent (i.e., no membership on the Company's Executive Committee, or membership more than three years ago, and no or comparatively minor business relations with the Company). In addition, Members shall not have a position in a third-party company in which such Member reports to a person who is a director or member of the management board of this Company.

The Board of Directors shall elect the Committee Chairman.

The Committee Chairman may appoint a secretary among the other Members.
