DR. LEONARD TOW Director since 2005. Chief Executive Officer of New Century Holdings LLC, an outdoor advertising company, since January 2005. Director of Citizens Communications Company from 1989 to September 2004. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Communications Company from 1990 to September 2004. Dr. Tow was appointed to the Board by the Class B stockholders in March 2005 and was reelected as a director by the Class B stockholders in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Since Grover C. Brown, Richard H. Hochman and Victor Oristano, each of whom had been elected to the Board by the Class A stockholders, are not standing for reelection at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, the directors elected by the Class A stockholders decided to recommend to the Board that Dr. Tow be nominated for election as a director by the Class A stockholders. In making this recommendation, the directors elected by the Class A stockholders took into account Dr. Tow's industry stature, reputation, his contribution to the Board since 2005 and the determination by the Board that he was an independent member of the Board.
