**Policy on Audit Committee Pre-approval of Audit and Non-audit Services Performed by Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee has determined that all services performed by Grant Thornton are compatible with maintaining the independence of Grant Thornton. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee has delegated authority to its chairperson, Ms. Williams, to pre-approve any audit or non-audit services to be provided by Grant Thornton, provided that (i) the fees for such services do not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate, (ii) any matters approved by the chairperson under such delegated authority must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting and (iii) such services must be allowed to be provided by our independent registered public accounting firm under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and SEC rules relating to auditor independence. The independent registered public accounting firm and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm in accordance with this pre-approval process.**
