        <footnote id="F1">This Amended Form 4 deletes the listing of this Transaction from Table I, as previously reported on Form 4 dated 4/10/06 as a Non-Derivative Security, and now properly lists this Transaction on Table II hereof as a disposition of a Derivative Security.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This Transaction was incorrectly reported on Form 4 Table I as a Non-Derivative Security, as filed with the SEC on 2006-04-10.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertable into one share of Class A Common Stock.  Therefore, this disposition of Class B Common Stock should properly be listed on Table II - Derivative Securities.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Each share of Class B Common Stock may be converted at any time, at the holder's election, into one share of Class A Common Stock upon the surrender of the Class B Common Stock converted.</footnote>
