PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, contained no adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification or modification as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle. During the fiscal
years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003 and the interim period from January&nbsp;1, 2005 through April&nbsp;28, 2006, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the
Plans&#146; financial statements for such years. No reportable event as described in paragraph (a)(1)(v) of Item&nbsp;304 of Regulation S-K has occurred within the Plans&#146; fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2004 and 2003, or the interim period
