If there is no trading in the Common Shares reported on the NYSE for a substantial amount of time during any such trading period, the purchase price per share shall be determined by TDS on the basis of such market quotations as it shall deem appropriate.

Stock dividends distributed on Series&nbsp;A Common Shares in shares of any other class of capital stock will be mailed directly to the shareholder in the same manner as to shareholders not participating in the Plan.&#160; However, if a dividend reinvestment plan or bookkeeping entry facility is established for the shares of such other capital stock distributed as a dividend, the participant will automatically become a participant of such dividend reinvestment plan or bookkeeping entry facility and the shares distributed to such participant will instead be credited to the participant&#146;s account. In a rights offering, a participant&#146;s entitlement will be based upon his or her total holdings, including shares credited to the participant&#146;s account under the Plan. Rights certificates will be issued for the number of whole Series&nbsp;A Common Shares only, however, and rights based on a fraction of a Series&nbsp;A Common Share held in a participant&#146;s Plan account will be sold for the participant&#146;s account and the net proceeds will be forwarded to the participant.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 26.15pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following discussion sets forth the general Federal income tax consequences for participants in the Plan. However, the discussion is not intended to be an exhaustive treatment of such tax consequences. For example, the discussion does not address the treatment of stock dividends, stock splits or a rights offering to participants in the Plan. It also does not address differences in tax treatment with respect to participants who do not hold the Series&nbsp;A Common Shares as capital assets. Because the tax laws are complex and constantly changing, participants are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of participating in the Plan, including the effects of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws, and for rules&nbsp;regarding the tax basis in special cases such as the death of a participant or a gift of Series&nbsp;A Common Shares held under the Plan and for other tax consequences. Future legislative changes or changes in administrative or judicial interpretation, some or all of which may be retroactive, could significantly alter the Federal income tax treatment discussed herein.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 26.15pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In general, participants in the Plan who elect to reinvest cash dividends will be treated, for Federal income tax purposes, as having received, on the dividend payment date, a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value on the dividend payment date of the Series&nbsp;A Common Shares purchased with reinvested dividends, rather than a distribution in the amount of cash otherwise payable to the participant. Participants should not be treated as receiving an additional distribution based upon their pro rata share of the Plan administration costs paid by TDS; however, there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with this position. TDS has no present plans to seek formal advice from the IRS on this issue.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 26.15pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Generally, the distribution described above&#151;the fair market value of the Series&nbsp;A Common Shares purchased with reinvested dividends&#151;will be taxable to participants as ordinary dividend income to the extent of TDS&#146; current or accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes. The amount of the distribution in excess of such earnings and profits will reduce a participant&#146;s tax basis in the Series&nbsp;A Common Shares with respect to which such distribution was received, and, to the extent in excess of such basis, result in capital gain. Certain corporate participants may be entitled to a dividends received deduction with respect to amounts treated as ordinary dividend income. Corporate participants should consult their own tax advisors regarding their eligibility for and the extent of such deduction. Certain participants may be eligible for lower capital gains rates with respect to amounts treated as qualified dividend income. Participants should consult their own tax advisors regarding treatment of qualified dividend income on their income tax returns.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 26.15pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Tax information will be shown on the statements of account sent to participants which participants should retain for tax purposes. These statements are important for computing the tax basis of Series&nbsp;A Common Shares acquired under the Plan.&#160; The Form&nbsp;1099 which each participant will receive annually will include the income which is deemed to result from the receipt of the Series&nbsp;A Common Shares under the Plan.&#160; As a general rule, the tax basis of shares or any fraction of a share purchased with reinvested dividends will equal the fair market value of such shares or fractional share as reported to participants on their statements.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt 26.15pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Participants will generally not realize any taxable income when they receive shares for whole Series&nbsp;A Common Shares, the value of which was previously taxed when credited to their accounts under the Plan, either upon their request, upon ceasing to be a shareholder of record, upon ceasing to be an eligible shareholder, or upon withdrawal from or termination of the Plan. However, a participant may realize a gain or loss when Series&nbsp;A Common Shares acquired under the Plan are subsequently sold. In addition, participants may realize gain or loss when they receive a cash adjustment for fractional shares credited to their accounts upon withdrawal from or termination of the Plan. The amount of such gain or loss will be the difference between the amount which the participant receives for his or her shares or fractional share, and his or her tax basis therefor (with special rules&nbsp;applying to determine the basis allocable to shares that are not specifically identified when the participant sells less than all of his or her shares). Such gain or loss will generally be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for such shares or fractional shares exceeds one year. The excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses is taxed at a lower rate than ordinary income for certain taxpayers. The distinction between capital gain or loss and ordinary income and loss is also relevant for purposes of, among other things, limitations on the deductibility of capital losses. Any loss may be disallowed under the &#145;&#145;wash sale&#146;&#146; rules&nbsp;to the extent the shares disposed of are replaced, through the Plan or otherwise during the 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the date of disposition.</font></p>
