The Audit Committee is comprised of not fewer than three directors elected by a majority of the board. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by our board of directors. The Audit Committee will assist our board of directors in overseeing our corporate accounting and reporting practices by meeting with our financial management and auditors to review our financial statements, quarterly earnings releases and financial data; reviewing and selecting the independent auditors who will audit our financial statements; reviewing the selection of the internal auditors who provide internal audit services; reviewing the scope, procedures and results of our audits; and evaluating our key financial and accounting personnel. All members of the Audit Committee will be required to be independent under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and our director independence criteria. In addition, each member of the Audit Committee will be required to have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements. The Audit Committee will also be required to have at least one member that qualifies as an “Audit Committee financial expert” as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Messrs. Mariner and Krongard and Ms. Logan serve as the members of the Audit Committee. It is expected that Mr. Van Kirk will join the Audit Committee in July 2005 as Chairman and replace Mr. Krongard.
