        <footnote id="F1">Reflects the receipt of common stock, par value $0.01, of Ticketmaster in connection with the spin-off by IAC/InterActiveCorp (&quot;IAC&quot;) of Ticketmaster, which was completed following the close of the market on August 20, 2008.   The distribution of Ticketmaster common stock was effected by way of a dividend, pursuant to which holders of IAC common stock on August 11, 2008 received one-fifth of one share of Ticketmaster common stock for every one share of IAC common stock held.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Represents a grant of Ticketmaster restricted stock units pursuant to Ticketmaster's 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan.  The terms of the grant provide for vesting in equal installments over two years on the anniversary of the grant date, August 20, 2008.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">In connection with the Spin-Off, stock options granted prior to December 31, 2007 were converted into options to purchase common stock of each of IAC, HSN, ILG, Ticketmaster and Tree.com, with adjustments (to maintain pre- and post-spin-off values) to the number of shares of common stock underlying each option and the per share exercise prices to reflect the Spin-Off and Reverse Stock Split. These previously granted stock options have the same vesting and other applicable terms and conditions as they did immediately prior to the Spin-off and Reverse Stock Split.  Reflects the receipt of Ticketmaster stock options in connection with the adjustment described immediately above.</footnote>
