* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).

(1) Liberty NC, XII, Inc. ("LXII"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberty, was a party to a variable forward contract with a financial institution ("FI") which required LXII to deliver a variable number of shares in the aggregate not to exceed the amount specified above to FI in exchange for approximately $303,620,000. LXII was required to deliver a proportional amount of shares on each of 11/5/08-11/18/08, 1/12/09-1/26/09 and 3/19/09-4/1/09. The number of shares to be delivered was to be based upon the market price of the shares during each day in such periods. If such market price were less than $15.98 per share on each day in such periods, then LXII would have been required to deliver the full amount of shares to FI, and if such price were above that price per share on any trading day in such periods LXII would have been obligated to deliver a lesser amount of shares to FI based upon a predetermined forumula.
(2) On 9/16/05, LXII and FI agreed to terminate the contract and FI agreed to pay LXII $11,647,000.
