Ownership | |||||||||||
| As reported in the Form 10-Q of the Issuer filed on November 6, 2003, there were 36,908,978 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 3, 2002.

| FSEP IV reports direct holdings of 957,141 shares of Common Stock (2.6%). By virtue of being the sole general partner of FSEP IV, Capital Partners may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to those 957,141 shares of Common Stock. | ||||||||||||
| FSEP IV previously reported shared dispositive power of the Common Stock owned by each of Garnett E. Smith (“Smith”), Lawrence P. Castellani (“Castellani”), Jimmie L. Wade (“Wade”) and David R.

FSEP IV, Nicholas F. Taubman (“Taubman”), The Arthur Taubman Trust dated July 13, 1964 (the “Taubman Trust” and together with Taubman, the “Taubman Parties”), Peter J. Fontaine (“Fontaine”), Fontaine Industries Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership (the “Fontaine Partnership”) and the Peter J. Fontaine Revocable Trust (the “Fontaine Trust” and together with Fontaine and the Fontaine Partnership, the “Fontaine Parties”) are parties to an Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001 (the “Amendment”). The Amendment amended the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement dated as of November 2, 1998 by and among FSEP IV, the Taubman Parties and Advance Holding Corporation, a Virginia corporation (“Holding”) (collectively with the Amendment, the “Stockholders Agreement”).
FSEP IV previously reported that FSEP IV, the Taubman Parties and the Fontaine Parties may have constituted a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (a “Group”) by virtue of certain rights and obligations created in the Stockholder Agreement. The provisions of the Stockholder Agreement, which may have been deemed to create a Group, are no longer operative and thus FSEP IV no longer has any beneficial ownership, deemed or otherwise, of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned or deemed to be owned by the Taubman Parties and the Fontaine Parties. |
