Exhibit 19.5
Policy Name: Share Repurchase and Sale Policy

Policy Type: Enterprise


1. General Policy Statement
The Company is committed to complying with all laws, including federal securities laws, and New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards governing its purchases, sales and other dispositions involving its own Securities.
2. Company Repurchases
A. Board Authorization
The board of directors of the Company (“Board”) may approve repurchase programs for the Company’s Securities at its discretion and consistent with Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”).
The Board will adopt resolutions approving the aggregate maximum dollar value of Securities that may be repurchased under the programs and delegating to specified Company officers decision-making authority regarding implementation of the programs, including determination of timing, amounts, prices, and methods for any Repurchase Transactions (defined below).
B. Repurchase Transactions
Repurchases of the Company’s Securities may be effected from time to time through methods including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, or by combinations of such methods (“Repurchase Transactions”), any of which may use pre-arranged trading plans or arrangements that are designed to meet the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) (a “Pre-Arranged Trading Plan”) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Securities Exchange Act”).
Repurchase Transactions may depend on a variety of factors, including: price of the Securities; liquidity needs; internal or external investment opportunities and their viability; other uses of capital; offsets to dilution from stock-based compensation; corporate and regulatory requirements; discounts; tax and accounting implications; restrictions under the Company’s contractual obligations; impacts on the value of remaining shares; cash generated from operations; and other market and economic conditions.
The Company’s Treasurer (or his/her designee), acting within the delegation of authority from the Board and upon approval from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, executes Repurchase Transactions in consultation with the Company’s securities legal counsel.

C. Repurchase Transactions Procedures
Timing: Repurchase Transactions by the Company are effected: (a) during a Trading Window Period when the Company is not in possession of Material Non-Public Information (MNPI), or (b) pursuant to a Pre-Arranged Trading Plan adopted during a Trading Window Period when the Company is not in possession of MNPI, or (c) otherwise in compliance with laws, including federal securities laws and Delaware Law, and NYSE listing standards.
Trading Pre-Clearance: The Company’s securities legal counsel takes reasonable steps to determine that the Company is not in possession of MNPI at the time that it adopts any Pre-Arranged Trading Plan and executes any Repurchase Transactions outside of a Pre-Arranged Trading Plan, including but not limited to consulting with one or more members of the Company’s disclosure committee and/or outside legal counsel.
Monitoring MNPI: If the Company’s securities legal counsel, upon consultation with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer and others as necessary, determines that the Company is in possession of MNPI, then the Company’s securities legal counsel notifies the Treasurer, and the Company suspends any Repurchase Transactions outside of a Pre-Arranged Trading Plan until such time that the Company’s securities legal counsel advises that the Company is not in possession of MNPI.
Trading Plan Pre-Clearance: The Company’s securities legal counsel is consulted on the terms, adoption and implementation of any Pre-Arranged Trading Plan.
Internal Reporting and Disclosure Controls: The Company’s Treasury department provides to the Company’s Global Corporate Reporting department information about Repurchase Transactions in order to meet any reporting requirements the Company has under the Securities Exchange Act.
D. Repurchase Disclosure Procedures
New Board Authorization: The Company may from time to time Publicly Disclose any new Securities repurchase authorization from the Board.
Periodic Disclosure: The Company’s Global Corporate Reporting department periodically discloses information about Repurchase Transactions in order to meet reporting requirements the Company has under the Securities Exchange Act.
