In
anticipation of becoming subject to the NYSE's independence requirements with
respect to the composition of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation

committees has been established as follows, effective January 31,

NYSE, and further determined that Mr. Byom is an "audit committee financial
expert" within the meaning of Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K as adopted pursuant
to Section 407 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002.
