Proxy
How does the Audit Committee pre-approve services provided by the independent registered public
accounting firm?
The Audit Committee pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by
our independent registered public accounting firm. Where feasible, the Committee considers and, when
appropriate, pre-approves services at regularly scheduled meetings after disclosure by management and
the independent registered public accounting firm of the nature of the proposed services, the estimated
fees (when available), and their opinions that the services will not impair the independence of the
independent registered public accounting firm. The Committee’s chairperson (or any Committee
member if the chairperson is unavailable) may pre-approve such services in between Committee
meetings, and must report to the Committee at its next meeting with respect to all services so
pre-approved. The Committee pre-approved 100% of the services provided by Ernst & Young LLP
during 2010 and 2009.

To be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials relating to the 2012 annual meeting of

relevant regulations of the SEC and must be received no later than December 7, 2011. In addition, if
we are not notified of a shareholder proposal by February 25, 2012, then the proxies held by our
management may provide the discretion to vote against such shareholder proposal, even though the
proposal is not discussed in our proxy materials sent in connection with the 2012 annual meeting of
shareholders.
If you would like to introduce other new business at the 2012 annual meeting, you must
provide written notice to us no earlier than the close of business on January 26, 2012 and no later than
the close of business on February 25, 2012, and comply with the advance notice provisions of our
Bylaws.

100 Mission Ridge, Goodlettsville, TN 37072. Shareholder proposals that are not included in our proxy
materials will not be considered at any annual meeting of shareholders unless such proposals have
complied with the requirements of our Bylaws.
