        <footnote id="F1">On August 3, 2009, Mr. Fekkai received an initial equity grant in connection with becoming a director of the Company on July 23, 2009, pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Stock and Option Compensation Plan. The initial grant is comprised of $75,000 of value. One-half of the grant is made in restricted shares (the number of which was determined based on a price of $3.52 per share), and one-half is an option for shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the number of which was determined based on a Black-Scholes value of $1.38 per share). The restricted shares and the option will vest on the first anniversary of the grant.</footnote>
