<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Executive

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Corporate Governance Guidelines and Codes of Ethics  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that address the practices of the Board and specify criteria for determining a director's
independence. These criteria supplement the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The Corporate Governance Guidelines also address business
conduct and ethics for directors. The Code of Business Conduct is a code of ethics that applies to all directors and all employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer
and the Controller. The Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Code of Business Conduct are available through the Corporate Governance link on the Company's website at </FONT> <FONT SIZE=2><I>www.cornellcompanies.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and are
available to any stockholder upon request. The Board is strongly predisposed against any waivers of the ethical
provisions of the Corporate Governance Guidelines or the Code of Business Conduct for a director or an executive officer. In the unlikely event of a waiver, the action will be promptly disclosed on
the Company's website noted above. If the Corporate Governance Guidelines or the Code of Business Conduct are amended, the revised version will also be posted on the website noted above. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>Director Attendance at Annual Meetings  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It is the Company's policy that, to the extent possible, all nominees for director at the Annual Meeting attend the Annual Meeting. All of the nominees for

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee consists entirely of independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, a copy of which is
available through the Corporate Governance link on the Company's website at </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>www.cornellcompanies.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>, is attached hereto as
<U>Appendix&nbsp;A</U> and is available to any stockholder upon request. Management is responsible for our internal controls, preparation of our financial statements and the
financial reporting processes. The independent public accountants are responsible for performing an independent audit of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent public accountants. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our financial
statements for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2003 were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and the Audit Committee has (1)&nbsp;reviewed and discussed the
audited financial statements with management; (2)&nbsp;discussed with the independent auditors the matters required by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing
Standards), as amended; (3)&nbsp;received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions
with Audit Committees); and (4)&nbsp;discussed with the independent accountant its independence. Based upon these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board of
Directors, and the Board of Directors has approved, that the Company's audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form&nbsp;10-K for the fiscal year ended
December&nbsp;31, 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for all decisions regarding compensation for the Company's executive officers. The
Compensation Committee is currently composed of D. Stephen Slack, Tucker Taylor and Robert F. Vagt, each an independent, non-employee director. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's executive compensation program is focused on stockholder value, the overall performance of the Company, success of the Company as affected by the executive's performance
and the performance of the individual executive. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Compensation Committee's objective is to recommend to the Board of Directors competitive levels of compensation to the Company's executive officers that are integrated with the
Company's annual long-term performance goals, reward above-average corporate performance, recognize individual initiative and achievements and assist the Company in attracting and
retaining qualified executives. The compensation policies and programs approved by the Board of Directors generally consists of the following: </FONT></P>

</UL>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Company's executive compensation consists of three key components: (i)&nbsp;base salary, (ii)&nbsp;annual incentive compensation in the form of cash bonuses and/or other
arrangements, and (iii)&nbsp;stock options, each of which is intended to complement the others and, taken together, to satisfy the Company's compensation objectives. The Board of Directors' policies
with respect to each of the three components are discussed below. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Base Salary.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each fiscal year the Board of Directors establishes the salary for the Chief Executive Officer. The Board of
Directors approves an annual salary plan for the Chief Executive Officer and the Company's other executive officers based on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. Many factors are included
in determining base salaries, such as the responsibilities borne by the executive officer, the scope of the position, length of service with the Company and corporate and individual performance. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cash Bonuses.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Board of Directors provides annual incentives to the Company's executive officers in the form of cash
bonuses to the extent such bonuses are warranted by performance. These bonuses are discretionary and are based on (i)&nbsp;the relative success of the Company in attaining certain quantitative
objectives and the individual's contribution to the achievement of those objectives, and (ii)&nbsp;certain subjective factors as recommended from time to time by the Compensation Committee. The
Board of Directors did not award any cash bonuses in 2003. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Stock Options.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The primary objective of the stock option program is to link the interests of the Company's executive officers
and other selected employees to the stockholders. The Company's existing 1996 Plan authorizes the issuance of both incentive and non-qualified stock options to
officers and key employees of the Company, and the Broad-Based Plan authorizes the issuance of non-qualified stock options to employees with prescribed limits of options that may be
granted to executive officers. Subject to general limits prescribed by the 1996 Plan and the Broad-Based Plan, the Board of Directors has the authority to determine the individuals to whom stock
options are awarded, the terms of the options and the number of shares subject to each option. The size of any particular stock option award is based upon position and the individual performance
during the related evaluation period. In 2003, the Board of Directors granted options to the named executive officers as follows: 9,250 shares to Mr.&nbsp;Hendrix, 12,330 shares to
Mr.&nbsp;Jenkins, 3,730 shares to Mr.&nbsp;Perrin, 0 shares to Mr.&nbsp;Phillips and 1,780 to Mr.&nbsp;Wiebe. Further information about these option grants is contained in the table titled
"Option Grants in 2003." </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><I>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer's Compensation.</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Compensation Committee's recommendation for compensation of the Chief Executive
Officer is derived from the same considerations addressed above. Mr.&nbsp;Phillips participates in the same executive compensation plans available to the other executive officers. During 2003, the
annual base salary of Mr.&nbsp;Phillips was set at $420,000. The compensation level established for Mr.&nbsp;Phillips was consistent with the compensation levels of chief executive officers of
similar-sized companies, reflecting Mr.&nbsp;Phillips's management expertise and recognizing his continued leadership of the Company. </FONT></P>

connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended December&nbsp;31, 2001 and through May&nbsp;30, 2002 there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of
accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fees for audit related services totaled $174,875 in 2003 and $89,225 in 2002. Audit related services principally include preparation of comfort letters and

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There were no other fees paid to PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2003 or to Arthur Andersen in 2002. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Audit Committee Charter provides that the Audit Committee is responsible for pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit
services to be performed for the Company by the independent auditor. All of the fees paid to the independent auditors in 2003 were pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee
is in the process of adopting specific policies and procedures for advance approval of all audit, audit-related, tax and other services performed by the independent auditor. The policy will provide
for pre-approval by the Audit Committee of specifically defined audit and non-audit services. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with
respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the independent auditor is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee will delegate to the Chairman of the Audit
Committee authority to approve permitted services provided that the Chairman reports any decisions to the Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The pre-approval policies and procedures
will be set forth in the charter for the Audit
Committee, which will be available through the Corporate Governance link on the Company's website at </FONT><FONT SIZE=2><I>www.cornellcompanies.com</I></FONT><FONT SIZE=2> and will be available to

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The 2000 Director Stock Plan (the "2000 Plan") was initially adopted in 2000 to enable the Company to pay all or part of the compensation of its directors in
shares of Common Stock. An aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance pursuant thereto. As of April&nbsp;16, 2004, there were 44,569 shares of Common Stock available for
issuance under the 2000 Plan. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, it is appropriate to amend the 2000 Plan to increase such number of shares
available for issuance. In view of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an amendment to the 2000 Plan (the "2000 Plan Amendment") which establishes the maximum number of
shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2000 Plan to be increased by 100,000 to 200,000 shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors has directed that such 2000 Plan Amendment be
submitted to the stockholders for approval. If Proposal No.&nbsp;3 is approved by a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, Section&nbsp;9(a) of the 2000 Plan shall be amended to read
as follows: </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan") was initially adopted in 1999 to enable the Company to encourage employees of the Company and its
participating subsidiary corporations to acquire an ownership interest in the Company through the purchase of shares of Common Stock of the Company. An aggregate of 250,000 shares of Common Stock were
reserved for sale pursuant thereto. As of April&nbsp;16, 2004, there were 20,948 shares of Common Stock available for sale under the Purchase Plan. In the opinion of the Board of Directors, it is
appropriate to consider amending the Purchase Plan to increase such number of shares available for sale. In view of the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company has approved an amendment to
the Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan Amendment") which establishes the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be sold under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan to be increased by 200,000
shares to 450,000 shares of Common Stock. The Board of Directors has directed that such Purchase Plan Amendment be submitted to the stockholders for approval. If Proposal No.&nbsp;4 is approved by a

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Purchase Plan provides employees of the Company a grant of rights to purchase stock of the Company so that employees of the Company are encouraged to acquire
an ownership interest in the Company in order to align both investor and employee purposes with the financial success of the Company. The Purchase Plan became effective on July&nbsp;1, 1999 and,
unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, will terminate on a date when participating employees (the "Participants") have purchased all the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares") available
under the Purchase Plan (the "Term of the Purchase Plan"). To determine when rights of employees accrue under the Purchase Plan, each January&nbsp;1st during the Term of the Purchase Plan will serve
as a given Commencement Date of
the Purchase Plan, with July&nbsp;1, 1999 serving as the initial Commencement Date. The Purchase Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Purchase Plan is not
qualified under Section&nbsp;401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Administration  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The chief administrative officer of the Company (the "Plan Administrator") will administer the Purchase Plan and enforce its terms and provisions. To do so, the
Plan Administrator will adopt rules of procedures and regulations necessary for the administration of the Purchase Plan, provided the rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Purchase
Plan. Subject to the terms of the Purchase Plan and the requirements of applicable law, the Plan Administrator will have full authority to interpret and apply the terms of the Purchase Plan, including
the power to determine the rights of Participants. Such rights include, but are not limited to, rights of eligibility of an employee to participate in the Purchase Plan. Furthermore, the Plan
Administrator will maintain records that disclose all required information about the Purchase Plan. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Rights to Purchase Stock  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Generally, all employees of the Company who are employed before a given Commencement Date will be eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan. Employees who are
not eligible, or become ineligible, may not participate in the Purchase Plan. An eligible employee may elect to enroll and become a Participant in the Purchase Plan as of the first Commencement Date
on which such employee qualifies, or on any later Commencement Date on which such employee continues to be eligible. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To
enroll in the Purchase Plan, an eligible employee must complete and file&nbsp;a payroll deduction authorization on a form provided by the Plan Administrator. Thereafter, the Company
will maintain a payroll deduction account for each Participant. Each Participant will have a separate payroll deduction account established for each period (the "Offering Period") from a given
Commencement Date, usually </FONT></P>

to approximately December&nbsp;31st (the "Corresponding Exercise Date"). Therefore, each Offering Period will generally be approximately one year, with each Participant having a
separate payroll deduction account each year. Payroll deductions made for Participants will be credited to their accounts under the Purchase Plan. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to any offering made under the Purchase Plan, a Participant may authorize a payroll deduction of any whole percentage, up to a maximum of ten percent of the compensation he
or she receives during the Offering Period; provided, however, that no Participant may purchase Shares pursuant to the Purchase Plan in excess of $20,000. The Plan Administrator may at any time in his
or her sole discretion designate a maximum payroll deduction percentage of less than ten percent or a maximum payroll deduction amount of less than $20,000 for a given Offering Period. Subject to the
payroll deduction percent and amount limitations, a Participant may increase or decrease the amount of the Participant's payroll deduction by completing and filing an amended payroll deduction
authorization on a payroll deduction authorization form provided by the Plan Administrator. Any such amendments will become effective on the January&nbsp;1st following receipt of the amendment by
the Plan Administrator. Participants may not make separate cash payments into their payroll deduction accounts. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As
of each Commencement Date on which a Participant has an effective payroll deduction authorization, the Participant will be granted an option to purchase a maximum number of Shares
equal to (A)&nbsp;divided by (B), where (A)&nbsp;is the LESSER of (1)&nbsp;ten percent multiplied by the Participant's compensation for the Offering Period, or (2)&nbsp;$20,000, and
(B)&nbsp;is 85% of the fair market value of a Share on the Commencement Date. Unless a Participant provides written notice to the Plan Administrator, a Participant's option for the purchase of
Shares will be exercised automatically for the Participant as of the Corresponding Exercise Date. Unexercised options will lapse on the Corresponding Exercise Date and all payroll deductions
attributable to these options will be distributed to the Participant in cash, without interest and earnings, as soon as practicable after the Corresponding Exercise Date on which such options lapse. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Even
though an employee is eligible to participate under the Purchase Plan, an employee may not exercise options to purchase stock in the Company under the Purchase Plan if such employee
owns Shares possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of Shares of the Company or a parent or a subsidiary of the Company. Furthermore, an otherwise
eligible employee may not exercise options to purchase stock in the Company under the Purchase Plan if the exercise, when considered in conjunction with all other options granted under the Purchase
Plan (or other stock-based compensation plans of the Company, or any parent or subsidiary of the Company), results in the employee accruing rights in a calendar year to acquire Shares having a value
in excess of $25,000 measured at the date of grant. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participants
will have no interest in Shares covered by an option until such option has been exercised. Following exercise and purchase of Shares on behalf of a Participant and before
any sale or transfer of such Shares, the Participant will have the right to vote such Shares and any cash dividends paid on such Shares will be paid to the Participant or retained and reinvested in
additional Shares in the sole discretion of the Plan Administrator. Any additional Shares accruing as a result of a stock split or a stock dividend that are attributable to Shares purchased on behalf
of the Participant under the Purchase Plan will belong to the Participant, subject to a pro rata allocation by the Plan Administrator for Shares that accrue over the 250,000 Share limitation for the
Purchase Plan. The Shares sold to Participants under the Purchase Plan may, at the election of the Company, be either treasury shares, shares originally issued for such purpose, shares purchased on
the open market, or shares from a combination of such sources. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Transferability of Rights and Restrictions on Sales of Shares  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Rights to purchase Shares under the Purchase Plan are not transferable by a Participant, and no person other than a Participant will have the right to elect to
exercise the Participant's option during his or her lifetime. Participants may not request that the Company distribute the Participant's stock certificates and may not sell, transfer, or otherwise
dispose of any Shares before the end of the six-month period after the Corresponding Exercise Date on which such Shares were purchased. However, Participants, including terminated
Participants, may request that the Company distribute to the Participant the stock certificates evidencing the ownership of all or part of the Shares previously purchased for the Participant, or may
request that such Shares be sold and the proceeds paid to the Participant; provided that the Participant waits until the six-month period described above has lapsed. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Tax Treatment  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contributions to the Purchase Plan will be included in the Participant's taxable income and will not be tax deductible. A Participant's purchase of Shares under
the Purchase Plan will not result in the recognition of income for tax purposes, nor will it result in an income tax deduction for the Company. To obtain the benefits generally associated with the
Purchase Plan under the Code, the Participant may not dispose of its Shares purchased thereunder earlier than (1)&nbsp;two years after the date of granting of the option thereunder, or
(2)&nbsp;one year after the date the Shares are acquired. When a Participant sells Shares acquired under the Purchase Plan after the holding period described above, the Participant will recognize
ordinary income equal to the lesser of (1)&nbsp;fifteen percent of the fair market value of the Shares on the first date of the respective Offering Period, or (2)&nbsp;the amount by which the fair
market value of the Shares at the time of sale exceeded the price paid by the Participant. If the amount received upon such a disposition exceeds the fair market value of the Shares on the first date
of the respective Offering Period, then the excess will be characterized as a long-term capital
gain. If the Participant has incurred a loss in connection with such a disposition, then the Participant will realize no ordinary income, and the loss will be characterized as a long-term
capital loss. If a Participant sells Shares before the expiration of the holding period described above, the Participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the difference between the fair market
value of the Shares on the date such Shares were acquired and the price paid by the Participant. The Participant will have a capital gain or loss to the extent of the difference, if any, between the
amount received upon sale and fair market value of the Shares on the date such Shares were acquired. Such capital gain or loss will be characterized as long-term or short-term
depending on whether or not the Shares were held for more than one year from the applicable date such Shares were acquired. The Company is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary
income in cases where the Participant realizes ordinary income by reason of a sale of the Shares after the expiration of the holding period described above. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2><B><I>Adjustments  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If a change is made in the number and/or kind of shares or securities of the Company (through a reorganization, merger, recapitalization, reclassification, stock
split, reverse stock split, or similar transaction), the Plan Administrator will make appropriate and proportionate adjustments in the number and/or kinds of Shares which are subject to purchase under
outstanding options and on the option exercise price or prices applicable to each outstanding option. Additionally, the number and/or kind of Shares that may be offered under the Purchase Plan will
also be proportionately adjusted. Any such adjustments, however, must comply with the provisions of the Code. No adjustments will be made for stock dividends. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There shall be a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of Cornell Companies,&nbsp;Inc. (the "Company"), to be known as the Audit Committee (the
"Committee"), whose purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Committee's primary duties and responsibilities are to: </FONT></P>

<BR><BR></FONT></DD><DT style='margin-bottom:-11pt;'><FONT SIZE=2>&#149;</FONT></DT><DD><FONT SIZE=2>Monitor
the independence and performance of the Company's independent accountants; however, such accountants will be ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and the

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities, and it has direct access to the independent accountants as well as anyone in
the organization. The Committee has the authority to retain, at the Company's expense, special legal, accounting or other consultants or experts it deems necessary in the performance of its duties. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>2. COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP AND MEETINGS  </B></FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Directors appointed to the Committee shall be independent of the management of the Company and free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of
Directors, would interfere with their exercise of independent judgment as a member of such Committee and otherwise meet the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. The Committee shall be composed
of no less than three Directors. All members of the Committee shall have a basic understanding of finance and accounting and be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements and at
least one member shall have accounting or related financial management expertise. </FONT></P>


<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
Committee shall meet as frequently as circumstances dictate. The Chair of the Committee should prepare or approve an agenda in advance of each meeting. The Committee should meet
privately in executive session at least annually with management, the Director of Internal Audit, the independent accountants, and as a committee, to discuss any matters that the Committee or each of
the other groups believe should be discussed. Also, the Committee should meet quarterly with the independent accountants and management to review the Company's financial statements and significant
