   Company, and other investors that are expected to include funds managed by

   LLC (collectively, the "Investors"), would offer to acquire by merger, for
   a purchase price of $32.00 in cash per share, all of the outstanding shares
   of the Company's Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, other than
   any shares held by any of the Investors and members of the Company's senior
   management team that are to be invested in the transaction (the
   "Proposal"). As a result of the Proposal, the Reporting Persons, together
   with Mr. Neubauer, GS Capital Partners, J.P. Morgan Partners, Thomas H. Lee
   Partners, and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the "Non-WP
   Investors"), may be deemed to constitute a "group", within the meaning of
   Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
   "Exchange Act"), that beneficially owns more than 10% of the outstanding
   shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of the Company.

   The sole general partner of WP IX is WP IX LLC. WPP LLC is the sole member of
   WP IX LLC. WP is the managing member of WPP LLC. WP LLC manages WP IX.
   Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy are each Managing General Partners of WP
   and Co-Presidents and Managing Members of WP LLC. By reason of the provisions
   of Rule 16a-1 of the Exchange Act, WP, WP LLC, WPP LLC, WP IX LLC, Mr. Kaye
   and Mr. Landy may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of any securities
   that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by WP IX or the Non-WP Investors.
   Each of WP IX, WP, WP LLC, WPP LLC, WP IX LLC, Mr. Kaye and Mr. Landy all
   disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class
   B Common Stock, including any such shares beneficially owned by the Non-WP
   Investors, except to the extent of any indirect pecuniary interest therein.
   This Form 3 shall not be deemed an admission that any Reporting Person is a
   beneficial owner of any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common
   Stock for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose
   or that any Reporting Person has an obligation to file this Form 3.
