AMENDED AND RESTATED AS OF DECEMBER 16, 2004

1. PURPOSES

The primary purposes of the committee are to oversee on behalf of the company's board of directors: (1) the accounting and financial reporting processes of the company and integrity of the company's financial statements, (2) the audits of the company's financial statements and appointment, compensation, qualifications, independence and performance of the company's independent auditors, (3) the company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and (4) the company's internal control over financial reporting.

The committee relies on the expertise and knowledge of management, the internal auditors and the independent auditor in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. Management of the company is responsible for determining that the company's financial statements are complete, accurate and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The independent auditor is responsible for auditing the company's financial statements. It is not the duty of the committee to plan or conduct audits, to determine that the financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to conduct investigations, or to assure compliance with laws and regulations or the company's internal policies, procedures and controls.

2. COMPOSITION

1. At Least Three Members. The committee is comprised of at least three directors. The board of directors will designate a committee member as the chairperson of the committee, or if the board of directors does not do so, the committee members will appoint a committee member as chairperson by a majority vote of the authorized number of committee members.

2. Independence. All committee members must be independent as determined by the board of directors in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards (the "listing standards") and applicable SEC rules, as they may be amended from time to time.

3. Financial Literacy. Each committee member must be financially literate upon appointment to the committee, as determined by the board of directors pursuant to the listing standards. At all times, there must be at least one member of the committee who, as determined by the board of directors, meets the finance, accounting or comparable experience requirement of the listing standards. In addition, the board of directors must annually evaluate whether or not at least one member of the committee is an audit committee financial expert as defined in the SEC rules.

4. Appointment. Subject to the requirements of the listing standards, the board of directors may appoint and remove committee members in accordance with the company's bylaws. Committee members will serve for terms as may be fixed by the board of directors, and in any case at the will of the board of directors whether or not a specific term is fixed.

3. SELECTION AND REVIEW OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND THEIR SERVICES

1. Overall Authority. The committee has sole authority and direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, retention, termination, evaluation and oversight of the work of the independent auditors engaged by the company for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or attest services for the company. The independent auditors must report directly to the committee. The committee's authority includes, without limitation, resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting.

2. Independence of Auditors.
