Explanation of Responses:

1. A total of 500 shares of Class A common stock are held indirectly by the reporting person, which consists of 250 and 250 shares held by each of the reporting person's son and daughter, respectively. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares.

2. Represents shares surrendered to the Issuer by the Reporting Person to pay required tax withholdings due upon the vesting of restricted stock award granted to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The shares surrendered were valued based on the closing price of the Issuer's Class A common stock on the vesting date. The award was initially granted on January 16, 2006 and was reported in the reporting person's initial statement of beneficial ownership on Form 3 at the time. On May 8, 2006, the reporting person paid the required nominal consideration to acquire the restricted shares under the award.
