Name Category or Type of Transaction or Arrangement
Dr. Gee Relationships with certain entities that served or serve as a vendor.
Relationships with non-profit entities to which we made or make donations or
which served or serve as a vendor.
Joint service with one of our executive officers on the board of a non-profit
entity.
Ms. Knuckles Relationship with an entity that served or serves as a vendor.
Relationships with non-profit entities to which we made or make donations or

Mr. Purcell Relationships with an entity that served or serves as a vendor.

Mr. Robbins Relationships with an entity that served or serves as a vendor.
Mr. Thornburgh Relationships with an entity that served or serves as a vendor.
Mr. Wilds Relationship with a non-profit entity to which we made or make donations.
Joint service with an immediate family member of one of our executive
officers on the board of a non-profit entity.
Less than 1% shareholder of a privately-held entity to which we made
payments for merchandise in each of the entity s last 3 and current fiscal
years that exceeded (or are expected to exceed) 2% of the entity’ s
consolidated gross revenues for each of those years. Mr. Wilds also served on
the Board and as a less than 10% shareholder of this entity’ s predecessor for a
portion of 2006. Although the payments we made to the vendor exceeded 2%
of its consolidated gross revenue, the payments equaled less than 0.4% of our
consolidated gross revenue in each of our last 3 fiscal years.
Our Board determined that this relationship is immaterial because Mr. Wilds
is a passive investor in the vendor and does not function as a part of the
vendor’ s management or involve himself in the operations of that company,
other than the general oversight duties required of a board member during the
period of time he served as such. Mr. Wild’ s current attributable beneficial
ownership in this vendor is approximately 0.042%. In addition, Mr. Wilds
has not exerted any influence on our merchants or other employees to conduct
business with this vendor, and the vendor’ s employees have not attempted to
use Mr. Wilds’ relationship as leverage to gain our business or any increase in
our business.
