        <footnote id="F1">On January 3, 2005, the Issuer entered into an agreement with Raymond P. Argila (the &quot;Reporting Person&quot;) whereby the
Reporting Person was granted a restricted stock award of 5,500 shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Issuer's
Amended and Restated Restricted Stock Award Plan (the &quot;Restricted Stock Award Plan&quot;).</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This figure includes 20,000 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock issued pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Plan. On
January 4, 2005, restrictions applicable to a previously reported grant of 2,000 restricted shares each of Class A Common
Stock and Common Stock lapsed, resulting in the Reporting Person becoming fully vested in such shares. This resulted in no
change in the number of shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.</footnote>
