All Other Fees
All other fees for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were for services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers
LLP primarily related to employee benefit plan advisory services.
All audit related services, tax services and other services were pre-approved by the Audit
Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was
compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.
The Audit Committee’s Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy provides for pre-approval of
audit, audit-related and tax services by category so long as such services are specifically described to the
Audit Committee on an annual basis (e.g., in the engagement letter) (‘‘general pre-approval’’). In
addition, individual engagements that have not received general pre-approval and/or are anticipated to
exceed pre-established thresholds must be separately approved in advance on a case-by-case basis
(‘‘specific pre-approval’’). The Audit Committee is mindful of the relationship between fees for audit
and non-audit services in deciding whether to pre-approve any such servicers and may choose to
determine, for a particular year, an appropriate ratio between the total amount of fees for Audit,
Audit-related and Tax services and the total amount of fees for certain permissible non-audit services
classified as All Other services. The policy authorizes the Audit Committee to delegate to one or more
of its members pre-approval authority with respect to permitted services. In its Audit and Non-Audit
Services Pre-Approval Policy, the Audit Committee delegated specific pre-approved authority to its
chairperson, provided that the estimated fee for any such proposed pre-approval service does not
exceed $50,000.
