Explanation of Responses:

1. The number of shares beneficially owned is equal to the reporting person's August 4, 2006 account balance, the latest balance available under the Issuer's XPRE$$AVINGS 401(k) Plan, in the employer's stock fund, divided by the closing price on August 4, 2006. The fund is unitized and as such does not itself allocate a specific number of shares to each participant.

2. Grant to reporting person of 2,000 restricted shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock under the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan on April 6, 2006. The restrictions lapse with the passage of time at the rate of 25% on the first through the fourth anniversaries of the grant date.
