        <footnote id="F1">This sale of Class B Common Stock was executed under the terms of a Sales Plan intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">Two Forms 4 filed on the reporting person's behalf on March 9, 2007 reported sales by the reporting person of an aggregate of 6,000 shares of Class B Common Stock on March 8, 2007.  As a result of an error by the executing brokerage firm, the transactions reported on March 9, 2007 were not completed, and the Forms 4 filed on the reporting person's behalf on March 9 should be disregarded.  The brokerage firm rectified its error by executing the sale reflected on this Amended Form 4 on the reporting person's behalf on March 12, 2007.</footnote>
