ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the
Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or
CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based on that evaluation, our
CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, we conducted an evaluation of the
effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
Based on that evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was
effective as of December 31, 2011 to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliabilityof financial reporting
and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S.
GAAP.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, audited the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2011. Ernst & Young LLP has issued their report which is
included elsewhere herein.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, there were no changes in our internal control over financial
reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with
the evaluation of our controls performed during that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
