(1)

Series B Common Stock is convertible at any time on a share-for-share basis into Series A Common Stock. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), the Reporting Person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the shares of Series A Common Stock into which shares of Series B Common Stock beneficially owned by him are convertible, and such shares of Series A Common Stock are included in this number.

(2)

Includes 1,093 shares of Series A Common Stock held in the Issuers 401(k) plan and 300,291 shares of Series B Common Stock held by The Decherd Foundation, a charitable foundation established by Mr. Decherd and his spouse and for which Mr. Decherd serves as Chairman and director. The number does not include 240 shares of Series A Common Stock and 240 shares of Series B Common Stock owned by Mr. Decherds spouse, as to which shares Mr. Decherd disclaims beneficial ownership.

(3)	Includes 4,631 shares of Series B Common Stock that are held by Mr. Decherd in joint tenancy with his spouse.

(4)

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i), this percentage ownership has been calculated by taking the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person (i.e., total shares of Series A Common Stock and shares of Series B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, including the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock and shares of Series B Common Stock the Reporting Person has the right to acquire or receive within 60 days pursuant to exercisable options and convertible securities) and dividing that number by the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock outstanding (i.e., the total shares of Series A Common Stock outstanding plus the Series B Common Stock holdings of the Reporting Person plus the total number of shares of Series A Common Stock the Reporting Person has the right to acquire or receive within 60 days pursuant to exercisable options and convertible securities). The outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock used in this calculation include shares of Series A Common Stock into which the Series B Common Stock holdings of the Reporting Person are convertible but does not contemplate the conversion of the Series B Common Stock holdings of any other individual.
