Additionally, the Audit Committee can establish pre-approval policies and procedures with respect to the engagement of the Company’s independent auditors for permitted non-audit services. In accordance with the Audit Committee Charter, all of the foregoing audit and non-audit fees paid to, and the related service provided by PwC, were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

At least annually, the Audit Committee reviews the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to decide whether to retain such firm on behalf of the Company.

When conducting its latest review of PwC, the Audit Committee considered the following factors:

• The professional qualifications of PwC, the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners on the engagement;

• The appropriateness of PwC’s fees relative to both efficiency and audit quality;

• PwC’s independence policies and processes for maintaining its independence;

• PwC’s capability, expertise and efficiency in handling the breadth and complexity of the Company’s operations across the globe; and

• PwC’s demonstrated professional integrity and objectivity.
