OpenLines Questions regarding Medco Announcement		September 19, 2007

•		Will Liberty employees have the opportunity to transfer to open/existing/new positions at our new parent company, Medco regardless of the location?

		In order to maintain focus on the critical objectives of both companies, it will be important to maintain continuity of staff in both Liberty and Medco. While there may be some movement between the two organizations, we would expect the number to be very small and management-initiated.

•		Can you tell us if there will be changes to our Employee Benefit package? Will our biweekly premiums change $+/- ? What type of insurance does Medco have for the employees?

		*As stated on previous FAQ’s, for the foreseeable future, no benefit changes are planned* .

•		Will there also be a change in our vacation/sick/pt times? We currently receive 3 weeks after 7 years, is Medco the same?

		*At this time, no changes to our time off benefits are planned.*

•		What if you were in the stock purchase plan but got out of it but never sold the stocks you had so you still have the actual certificate what should you do then?

		After the merger is completed, you will receive written instructions that explain how to exchange your shares for $53.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding. You do not need to take any action at this time.

•		If the plan runs thru December 31 would the effective price for November and December stock be based on the closing price of October 31 minus 15% or will it be based on the purchase price by Medco on the effective December 1 date?

		*The plan will run as it does now through the* *earlier* *of October 31, 2007 or the date the transaction closes.*

•		Can we reinvest in the stock under Medco or is the only option to receive $53 a share?

		*Assuming the transaction is approved, the only option is to receive $53 in cash, without interest and less any applicable tax withholding.*
