Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is presently comprised of Joseph P. Lacher, Chairman of the committee, Gary Dix, and Joseph Natoli. The Audit Committee’s functions include overseeing the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the selection and qualifications of our independent registered public accounting firm, and the performance of our internal audit function and controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and our Board of Directors have established. In this oversight capacity, the Audit Committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered accounting firm, including any recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The Audit Committee met on four occasions during fiscal 2009. In addition, the Audit Committee participated in conference calls during fiscal 2009 with members of management and our independent registered public accounting firm to review and pre-approve earnings’ press releases and our quarterly and annual periodic reports before their issuance.

The Audit Committee is comprised of outside directors who are not officers or employees of us or our subsidiaries. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, all of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that term is defined in the FINRA listing standards and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and these directors are independent of management and free of any relationships that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as members of the Audit Committee. Additionally, all of the Audit Committee members have been determined by our Board of Directors to meet the qualifications of an “Audit Committee Financial Expert” in accordance with the Commission’s rules.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, reports directly to the Audit Committee. Our internal audit department also reports directly to the Audit Committee through the Director of Internal Audit. The Audit Committee, consistent with the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the Commission’s rules adopted thereunder, meets with management and the registered public accounting firm prior to the filing of our periodic reports. The Audit Committee has also adopted a policy and procedures for reporting improper activity to enable confidential and anonymous reporting of improper activities to the Audit Committee and the treatment of such reported activity.

The Audit Committee is presently comprised of Joseph P. Lacher, Chairman of the committee, Gary Dix, Linda Platzner and Joseph Natoli. The Audit Committee’s functions include overseeing the integrity of our financial statements, our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, the selection and qualifications of our independent registered public accounting firm, and the performance of our internal audit function and controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethics that management and our board of directors have established.

The Audit Committee is comprised of outside directors who are not officers or employees of us or our subsidiaries. In the opinion of the board of directors, except as set forth below, all of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as that term is defined in the FINRA listing standards and the rules and regulations of the Commission and these directors are independent of management and free of any relationships that would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as members of the Audit Committee. Additionally, the Audit Committee includes two members who have been determined by our board of directors to meet the qualifications of “Audit Committee Financial Expert” in accordance with the Commission’s rules. The board of directors has designated Joseph P. Lacher and Gary Dix as “Audit Committee Financial Experts”. We believe that Joseph Natoli also meets the FINRA’s and Commission’s standards and rules for “independence” and for an “Audit Committee Financial Expert”. The Board, however, has not yet formally made this determination or designated him as an additional Audit Committee Financial Expert.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, reports directly to the Audit Committee. Our internal audit department also reports directly to the Audit Committee through the Director of Internal Audit.
