The table below lists the aggregate fees for professional audit services rendered to us by

services related to inventory.
(4) 2013 and 2012 fees include a subscription fee to an on-line accounting research tool.
How does the Audit Committee pre-approve services provided by the independent auditor?
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by
our independent auditor. Where feasible, the Committee considers and, when appropriate,
pre-approves services at regularly scheduled meetings after disclosure by management and the
independent auditor of the nature of the proposed services, the estimated fees (when available), and
their opinions that the services will not impair the independence of the independent auditor. The
Committee’s chairman (or any Committee member if the chairman is unavailable) may pre-approve
such services in between Committee meetings, and must report to the Committee at its next meeting
with respect to all services so pre-approved. The Committee pre-approved 100% of the services
provided by Ernst & Young LLP during 2013 and 2012.
