services, and other services. The Audit Committee has adopted a
policy for the pre-approval of services provided by
Ernst & Young. In addition, the Audit Committee also
may pre-approve particular services on a
case-by-case
basis. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority
to the Chair of the Audit Committee. Pursuant to this
delegation, the Chair must report any pre-approval decision by

pre-approval was obtained. Under this policy, pre-approval is
generally provided for up to one year, and any pre-approval is
detailed as to the particular services or category of services
and includes an anticipated budget.
