Explanation of Responses:
1. Includes interest accrued at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually, since November 12, 1999 through the estimated closing date of June 4, 2003, on the original purchase price of $19.00 per share pursuant to the put agreement under which the shares of Class A Common Stock are to be purchased.
2. Represents post-transaction aggregate.
3. The reporting person is party to put agreements dated November 12, 2001 pursuant to which he agreed to purchase from the put parties certain of the put parties' shares of Class A Common Stock for $19.00, plus interest at a rate of 4.5% per year, compounded annually, since November 12, 1999. After exercise of the put rights set forth herein, 2000 shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to the put agreements.
4. Shares reported as acquired hereunder pursuant to put agreements include 127,500 shares that were believed to have been previously sold by the holders pursuant to rule 144 or under a registration statement (and were therefore not reported in prior filings as still subject to the put arrangements). The status of 110,000 of such shares is still under review, and the filing of this report shall not be considered acknowledgment that the reporting person is obligated to purchase such shares.
