 permissible non-audit services proposed to be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. Consideration and approval of such services, including the maximum amount of fees payable for such services, generally occur at the Audit Committee’s regularly scheduled meetings. In situations where it is impractical to wait until the next regularly scheduled meeting, the Audit Committee has delegated the authority to approve the audit and permissible non-audit services, including the maximum amount of fees payable for such services, to each of its individual members. Approvals of audit and permissible non-audit services pursuant to the above-described delegation of authority are reported to the full Audit Committee.
