	Enterprises and its affiliates), (b) unanimously approved the Offer and the Merger and (c) unanimously recommended that Cox’s stockholders accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer.

The Purchasers are not aware of any state where the making of the Offer is prohibited by administrative or judicial action pursuant to any valid state statute.

If, after such good faith effort, the Purchasers cannot comply with such state statute, the Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) the holders of Shares in such state.
