  The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 in each of their respective cover pages to this Schedule 13G are incorporated herein by reference. As of November 30, 2005, CC Holdings was the direct owner of all 315,000,000 outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock. Clear Channel, indirectly through its subsidiary, may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of these shares. Each share of Class B common stock of the Issuer is convertible at any time into one share of Class A common stock subject to certain limited exceptions. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote as a single class on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, except as otherwise provided in the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as required by law. Each share of Class A common stock entitles its holder to one vote and each share of Class B common stock entitles its holder to 20 votes.
Accordingly, as of November 30, 2005, each Reporting Person beneficially owned 315,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, representing approximately 90% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer’s
