INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008. Fees (including reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses) paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for services in fiscal 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

 

     2007    2008

Audit Fees

   $ 1,324,000    $ 1,175,000

Audit-Related Fees

   $ 23,000      —  

Tax Fees

     —        —  

All Other Fees

   $ 176,000      —  

The above amounts relate to services provided in the indicated fiscal years, irrespective of when they were billed. Audit-related fees consisted primarily of consultation concerning accounting and financial reporting and review of the Company’s internal controls. The Audit Committee considered the compatibility of non-audit services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP with the maintenance of that firm’s independence.

The Audit Committee generally approves all engagements of the independent registered public accounting firm in advance including approval of the related fees. The Audit Committee approves an annual budget (and may from time to time approve amendments), which specifies projects and the approved levels of fees for each. To the extent that items are not covered in the annual budget or fees exceed the budget, management must have them approved by the Audit Committee or, if necessary between Committee meetings, by the Audit Committee chairman on behalf of the Committee. Projects of the types approved for which fees total less than $50,000 in each case may be approved by the Chair of the Audit Committee, subject to review and approval by the Audit Committee at its next meeting.
