The Audit Committee’s policy is to use our independent auditing firm only if these services more logically can be performed by such auditing firm than by other qualified accounting firms. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, 100% of the “Tax” services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The percentage of hours expended on Deloitte & Touche LLP’s engagement to audit our financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons other than Deloitte & Touche LLP’s full time, permanent employees was 0%.
 
With regard to “Other” services, in 2008, the Audit Committee pre-approved the expenditure of up to a certain amount for services included on a pre-approved list. The Audit Committee’s policy is to use Deloitte & Touche LLP for such services only if it has been determined that (a) Deloitte & Touche LLP’s services are “synergistic” and utilizing Deloitte & Touche LLP creates efficiencies, minimizes disruption or preserves confidentiality or (b) Deloitte & Touche LLP possesses unique or superior qualifications to provide such services. The Audit Committee is able to pre-approve exceptions to this policy.
