Requirements.</I></B> The presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock constitutes a quorum for purposes of the election of directors by the holders of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock. The
presence in person or by proxy of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock constitutes a quorum for purposes of the election of directors by the holders of Class B Common Stock. If holders of shares possessing a
majority of the aggregate votes represented by the Class&nbsp;A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, taking into account the ten votes per share attributable to the Class B Common Stock, are present at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy, a
quorum will be present for purposes of the ratification of the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm and any other matter that may be presented at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions with respect to a proposal and broker non-votes
are counted for purposes of establishing a quorum. A broker non-vote occurs if a broker does not receive instructions from the beneficial owner of shares held in street name for certain types of proposals and the broker indicates it does not have
authority to vote such shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Election of Directors.</I></B> If a quorum of each class is present at the Annual

have one vote for each share of Common Stock held by the stockholder as of the Record Date. Pursuant to the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of shares entitled to vote
in the election. Thus, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

directors unless it is instructed by the beneficial owner of such shares as to how such shares are to be voted in such election. Accordingly, if you hold your shares through a broker, you are urged to provide it voting instructions in accordance
with your broker&#146;s directions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Because the Company was a public corporation on the Record Date, cumulative voting will

the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm, that may be voted upon at the Annual Meeting. In any such vote, stockholders will be entitled to one vote for each share of Class&nbsp;A Common Stock held as of the Record Date and
ten votes for each share of Class B Common Stock held as of the Record Date. For purposes of any such vote, if a quorum is present, a proposal will pass if the votes cast &#147;for&#148; the action exceed the votes cast &#147;against&#148; the
action, unless otherwise provided in the Company&#146;s Articles of Incorporation or the North Carolina Business Corporation Act. Shares not voted with respect to any such matters (whether by abstention or broker non-vote) would not be included in
vote totals and would not impact the vote. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Company knows of no matters other than the election of directors and the ratification of the Company&#146;s independent registered public accounting firm to be

for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers of publicly held corporations. &#147;Performance-based&#148; compensation is excluded from the cap. Although the $1 million compensation deduction cap would be
applicable to the Executive Officers named in the &#147;<B>SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE</B>&#148; their compensation levels for fiscal year 2009 were below the cap. Nevertheless, the Chief Executive Officer and the Audit/Compensation Committee, as
appropriate, intend to consider the Internal Revenue Code&#146;s compensation deductibility cap when they determine compensation levels and to evaluate appropriate alternatives to mitigate any adverse impact this limitation may have on the
deductibility of executive compensation paid by the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company believes all compensation paid to Executive Officers for fiscal year 2009 is deductible under the Internal Revenue Code. </FONT></P> <P
