The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and has discussed with the independent auditors the independent auditors’ independence from management and the Corporation and considered the compatibility of nonaudit services with the auditors’ independence.

The Audit Committee discussed with the Corporation’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for and results of their respective audits. The Audit Committee meets with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Corporation’s internal controls, credit quality and the overall quality of the Corporation’s financial reporting.

It also confirms that the Audit Committee considers non-audit related fees and services when addressing auditor independence. The Charter also provides that the Audit Committee review and evaluate the lead partner of the independent auditor.
