    <footnotes>
        <footnote id="F1">On October 2000, the Reporting Person entered into a promissory note and stock pledge agreement (&quot;Note&quot;) with the Company in connection with the Reporting Person's employment agreement. The proceeds of the Note were used to purchase shares of the Company's Class D common stock. The terms of the Note permit satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the Note with cash and/or shares of the Company's common stock (based on the ten day average for the ten trading days preceding the transaction date of the closing prices of the sales of the common stock). On September 2, 2005, the Reporting Person elected to fully satisfy the Note by transferring 174,754 shares of Class D common stock to the Company.</footnote>
