We are requesting that you contact your clients for whom you hold shares of Class B Common Stock regarding the Exchange Offer.

2.  The Letter of Transmittal for your use and for the information of your clients;

3.  A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery to be used to accept the Exchange Offer if certificates for shares of Class B Common Stock are not immediately available or time will not permit all required documents to reach the American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Exchange Agent for the Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Agent”) prior to the Expiration Date (as defined below) or if the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis;

4.  A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose account you hold shares of Class B Common Stock registered in your name or the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Exchange Offer; and
