The number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons contained in this Report is as of December 31, 2005 and does not reflect a three-for-two stock split effected by the Issuer on February 21, 2006.

(a)-(c)

(I) As of December 31, 2005, Dr. Henry T. Nicholas III beneficially owned 24,947,293 shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, representing approximately 7.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock. According to the Issuer, 291,396,086 shares of Class A common stock and 52,885,479 shares of Class B common stock were outstanding as of September 30, 2005. Holders of the Issuer’s Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of the Issuer’s Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Each share of Class B common stock is immediately convertible into one share of Class A common stock at the option of the holder and upon certain events. Dr. Nicholas beneficially owns 7.9% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock; however, through his ownership of shares of Class B common stock he has sole or shared voting power over approximately 30.4% of the total voting power of the Issuer’s shareholders.

The 24,947,293 shares of Class A common stock which Dr. Nicholas beneficially owns include:

(A) 24,945,913 shares of Class B common stock held by the Nicholas Family Trust, as to which Dr. Nicholas and his spouse, Mrs. Stacey Nicholas, are co-trustees and share voting and investment power; and

(B) 1,380 shares of Class B common stock held by Dr. Nicholas as custodian for his children, as to which Dr. Nicholas has sole voting and dispositive power.

Dr. Nicholas is a co-founder of the Issuer and served as its President and Chief Executive Officer from the Issuer’s inception until January 23, 2003. Dr. Nicholas also served as the Co-Chairman of the Issuer’s Board of Directors from the Issuer’s inception until May 21, 2003. Dr. Nicholas obtained his ownership position in the Company prior to the initial public offering of the Issuer’s Class A common stock in April of 1998.

(II) As of December 31, 2005, Mrs. Stacey Nicholas did not directly own any shares of common stock of the Issuer. As co-trustee of the Nicholas Family Trust, Mrs. Nicholas shares with Dr. Nicholas voting and dispositive power over, and is deemed to have beneficial ownership of, the 24,945,913 shares of Class B common stock held directly by the Nicholas Family Trust.

(III) As of December 31, 2005, the Nicholas Family Trust directly owned 24,945,913 shares of Class B common stock. Dr. and Mrs. Nicholas share voting and dispositive power over these shares.
