) entered into pursuant to the preapproval policies and procedures described in the Pre-Approval Policy, or general preapproval. Unless a type of service to be provided by Ernst & Young LLP has received general preapproval under the Pre-Approval Policy, it requires specific preapproval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant preapprovals. Any proposed services exceeding preapproved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific preapproval. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s and the PCAOB’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general preapproved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.
