Default Removing Battery Tray

While working on a headlight mod, I dropped a socket behind the battery, and it fell down underneath the battery tray. I pulled the battery but could not find where the socket fell. How do you remove the tray? Is it just the four bolts in the square opening in the middle, or are there bolts holding it in. I don't want to get to far unbolting stuff until I know which bolts to take out.
Thanks,
John

An alternate way to get to that area is to take the rear lower fender liner panel off. A few more screws to deal with and you need the car up on a floor jack, but it will also give you full access to the area under the battery.
