Explanation of Responses:

1. These shares were sold by the Jeffrey R. Noordhoek Living Trust pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan (the "Plan") entered into on December 16, 2008. The Plan provides for the sale of up to a maximum of 200,000 shares of the issuer's Class A Common Stock, subject to limit price provisions and an expiration date of March 17, 2010. To the extent any future sales occur pursuant to the Plan, such sales will be publicly disclosed in Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Jeffrey R. Noordhoek Living Trust is selling the shares for diversification and estate planning purposes.

2. Rule 10b5-1, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, allows executives of a company who are not in possession of material non-public information to establish pre-arranged plans to buy or sell a specified number of shares of such company's stock. Once a plan is established, the executive does not retain or exercise any discretion over sales of stock under the plan and the pre-planned trades may be executed at later dates as set forth in the plan, without regard to any subsequent material non-public information related to the company that the executive may receive.
