  The SOx act only impacts on how they audit and account for things for 
purposes of SEC filings. The tax accounting only cares about how they 
account for things for tax purposes. What internal games they play 
within the context of accounting for contractural and pay out purposes 
is beyond the authority (or the desire for that matter) of these acts. 
It a private matter based on what the contract says and what the courts 
will let them get away with. Any other discussion is beside the point.
