The AC Agent,                working with staff from appropriate departments of the Company, will                be                responsible for recommending how to address                complaints. |

| 2. | The                Audit Committee shall have the authority to confer with Company officers                and employees, legal counsel and independent auditors and may engage                independent counsel and other advisors as it determines necessary                to carry                out its duties. The Company shall provide appropriate funding for                the                Audit Committee, including payment of fees to independent                advisors. |

|----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 6. | The                Chair of the Audit Committee (or his designee, if applicable) shall                make                an initial determination as to how such complaint shall be investigated                (including whether internal functions, outside advisers or outside                counsel                or a combination thereof shall be employed in the investigation).                The                chairman shall advise the other members of the AC orally or in writing                of                his initial determination. Any member shall be entitled, within a                reasonable period after such advisement, to call a meeting of the                AC to                discuss the report and the chairman's initial                determination. |

| 7. | For                each report, the chairman shall appoint, as part of his initial                determination, one of the members of the AC or another appropriate                person                to track the progress of the investigation and resolution of such                report.                Such person shall memorialize the results of such tracking, which                shall be                included in the permanent records of the                AC. |

The AC shall be entitled                to invite to such meetings any appropriate persons (internal or external)                responsible for investigating any such report or                for making recommendations or providing advice regarding any report                or the                results of any investigations. The chairman shall be entitled to                call a                special meeting of the AC at any time for the discussion of any new                or                outstanding report. |
|----|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 9. | Any                reports, directives or recommendations by the AC regarding any report                of                Accounting Matters, whether to management, the Board of Directors                or                external authorities, shall be authorized by majority vote of any                meeting                of the AC. |
|----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 10. | No                report shall be deemed closed except upon the affirmative vote of                a                majority of the AC at a meeting. |
|-----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 11. | Chair                of the Audit Committee will also receive progress reports on any                ongoing                investigations prior to each regular meeting. |
|-----|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 12. | Absent                other direction from the Chair of the Audit Committee, the AC Agent                or                other identified personnel will carry out the recommendations to                address                complaints reported to the Chair of the Audit Committee or the full                Committee, as the case may be. |

**No      Discrimination or Retaliation**

| 1. | Any                employee reporting an actual or suspected complaint, or participating                in                an investigation of a complaint, regarding accounting matters in                good                faith will not be subject to retaliation of any kind. |
|----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 2. | The                Company will not discharge, demote, suspend, threaten, harass or                in any                manner discriminate or retaliate against any employee in the terms                and                conditions of such employee’s employment with the Company, nor will the                Company tolerate any such action by any other Company employee. |
|----|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 3. | Retaliation                against an individual for reporting a complaint or for participating                in an                investigation of a complaint is a serious violation of this policy                and may                be subject to disciplinary action. However, any voluntary false complaint                will give rise to disciplinary sanctions, which may include                termination. |
|----|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

**Confidentiality**

| 1. | Where                a direct complaint is made, the Audit Committee will treat the matter                as                confidential to the fullest extent possible consistent with the need                to                investigate. Absolute confidentiality, however, cannot be guaranteed                because the very fact of conducting an investigation may lead employees                or                other persons to reach conclusions of their                own. |
|----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 2. | Anyone                involved in an investigation under these procedures will be informed                of                their obligation to maintain confidentiality and will be asked to                sign an                acknowledgment of this obligation. |
|----|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

| 3. | Where                the complaint is not being treated as confidential, reports to the                Chair                of the Audit Committee may be made by any member of management whose                decisions or actions are not questioned by the complaint. |
