PROPOSAL NO. 2 — APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS

The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP as independent auditors for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2005. Although not required to do so, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the appointment of that firm be submitted for ratification by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. KPMG LLP has audited the Company’s financial statements since May 10, 2002 and is considered to be well-qualified. If the appointment is not ratified, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment. Representatives of KPMG LLP will be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to respond to questions.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy of the Common Stock and Class B Stock voting together without regard to class will constitute ratification of the appointment of auditors.
