Audit Committee consisting of at least three directors, each of whom satisfies
the independence standards set forth in Section 121A of the AMEX rules and Rule
10A-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. As a result of the untimely
death of Robert H. Brown, Jr., a former director and audit committee member of

directors, each of whom satisfies the audit committee independence standards.

the AMEX requirements by the March 1, 2006 deadline. Emerson's common stock
continues to trade on AMEX.
