(c)
On November 30, 2009, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of
the Issuer, including those beneficially owned by any of Mr. Allen, CII, and/or
Ms. Patton, were cancelled pursuant to the Plan.
(e)
On November 30, 2009, all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of

cancelled pursuant to the Plan. As a result, on November 30, 2009,
each of Mr. Allen and CII ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five
percent of any class of equity security of the Issuer registered pursuant to
Section 12 of the Exchange Act.
