<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:9.14%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#146;s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:9.14%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:9.14%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental Schedule of Assets Held for Investment as of December 31, 2008 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.</font></p>

However, contract value is the relevant measurement attributable for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan.  As required by the FSP, the
Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value.

The common/collective trust invests primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) and in high-quality money market securities.  A majority of the GICs include Synthetic GICs which are a combination of a portfolio of securities plus a wrapper contract issued by a financially responsible third-party.  Certain wrapper contracts include embedded interest rate swaps and total return swaps.  Synthetic GIC wrapper values were determined by the difference between the sum of the present values of wrap fees based on replacement costs received from the wrap providers at the statement date and the
sum of the present values of the wrap fees based on actual fees at the beginning of the year.  Money market instruments are valued at amortized cost.  Swap agreements are valued utilizing quotes received daily by the trust&#146;s pricing service or through brokers, which are derived using daily swap curves and trades of underlying securities.  Unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from market value changes is added to, or subtracted from, net assets.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:9.86%; text-indent:-2.71%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>On January 1, 2008, the Plan adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under current accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurement and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value.  Adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Plan's financial statements.  SFAS No. 157 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:17%; text-indent:-2.71%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value can be determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies; and</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:17%; text-indent:-2.71%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs in situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability and the reporting entity makes estimates and assumptions related to the pricing of the asset or liability including assumptions regarding risk.</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:17%; text-indent:-2.71%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; margin-left:11.57%; text-indent:-2.71%;text-align:left;'><font size=2>A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
