     Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     (a) For purposes of calculating the percentages set forth in this Item 5, (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding is assumed to be 37,380,650, which represents 36,695,650 shares outstanding as reported by the Company on the cover of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007, plus the 685,000 Deferred Shares, and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”) is assumed to be 644,871, which is the number of shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Company on the cover of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007.
     Lewis W. Dickey, Jr.
     Lew Dickey, Jr. is deemed to beneficially own 5,791,760 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
    2,287,449 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned;
 
    options to purchase 1,348,750 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days;
 
    644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, directly owned;
 
    options to purchase 1,500,690 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days; and
 
    10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by DBBC and deemed to be beneficially owned by Lew Dickey, Jr. in his capacity as manager of DBBC.
     Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options and the conversion of all of the shares of Class C Common Stock (including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options) into Class A Common Stock, Lew Dickey, Jr. would be deemed to beneficially own 5,791,760 shares, or 14.2% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
     John W. Dickey
     John Dickey is deemed to beneficially own 3,133,808 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:

- 9 -


 

    options to purchase 1,366,562 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days.
     Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options, John Dickey would be deemed to beneficially own 3,133,808 shares, or 8.1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
     Michael W. Dickey, David W. Dickey and Lewis W. Dickey, Sr.
     Michael Dickey, David Dickey and Lew Dickey Sr. are deemed to beneficially own 1,347,683 shares, or 3.6%, 1,254,352 shares, or 3.4%, and 884,000 shares, or 2.4%, of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively.

     As a result of the arrangements expected to be set forth in the Interim Investor Agreement and various matters described in Item 4, the reporting persons and the Sponsor may collectively be deemed to constitute a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a consequence, each reporting person and the Sponsor may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each other reporting person and the Sponsor. To the knowledge of the reporting persons, the Sponsor beneficially owns 123,700 shares, or less than 1%, of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock.

Other than as set forth in this Item 5, each reporting person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock owned by any other reporting person or the Sponsor.
     Other than as set forth above with respect to Lew Dickey, Jr. and John Dickey, none of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported in this Item 5 are shares as to which any reporting person has a right to acquire that is exercisable within 60 days.
