Proposal 2 — Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Audit Committee has appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2009 fiscal year. While not required by law, the Board of Directors is asking the stockholders to ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers as a matter of good corporate practice. Representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions.
 
If the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2009 fiscal year is not ratified by the stockholders, the adverse vote will be considered a direction to the Audit Committee to consider another independent registered public accounting firm for next year. However, because of the difficulty in making any substitution of independent registered public accounting firm so long after the beginning of the current year, the appointment for our 2009 fiscal year will stand, unless the Audit Committee finds other good reason for making a change.
 
PricewaterhouseCoopers was first appointed as our independent registered public accounting firm for our fiscal year ended July 1, 2006. For additional information regarding our relationship with PricewaterhouseCoopers, please refer to the Audit Committee Report on page 11 and the Auditor Fees and Services disclosure on page 12.
 
Our Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2009 fiscal year.
