Also on November 3, 2009, the Company, at the direction of the Committee, informed its current independent registered public accounting firm, Price Waterhouse & Co. S.R.L. ("PWC"), that it will be dismissed as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm no later than the date of the filing of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2009 fiscal year.
During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 and the subsequent interim period through November 3, 2009, the Company had (i) no disagreements with PWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, any of which that, if not resolved to PWC's satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of any such disagreement in connection with its reports for such years and interim period and (ii) no reportable events within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
PWC's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008 do not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor are qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

In accordance with Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, the Company has provided PWC a copy of the disclosures it is making in this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to filing with the SEC and requested that PWC furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not PWC agrees with the above statements.
