RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of the Company has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year ending March 31, 2007. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2004, 2005 and 2006. The Board is requesting ratification by the Stockholders at the Annual Meeting of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so, and they are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

On March 20, 2001, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was engaged as the Company's independent auditors. During the Company's three most recently completed fiscal years, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure and there were no reportable events as described in Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

Stockholder approval is not required for the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm because the Board and the Audit Committee have the responsibility for selecting auditors. However, the appointment is being submitted for ratification at the Annual Meeting and requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast. In the event the Stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Board will reconsider its selection for the next fiscal year. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Board, on advice of the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may, if circumstances dictate, direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the Board, on advice of the Audit Committee, determines that such a change would be in the Company's and its Stockholders' best interests.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of Proposal 2.
