(iii) In connection with its audits for the two most recent fiscal years and through August 5, 1999, there have been no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years. (iv) The Registrant has requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. A copy of such letter will be filed as Exhibit 16 to this Current Report on Form 8-K within the time required by SEC Regulations. (b) The Registrant engaged M.R.
