        <footnote id="F2">Pursuant to the terms of the Issuer's Non-Employee Director Compensation Program, on June 13 2008, the terms of the grant of the Restricted Stock Units were finalized based upon the Issuer's closing stock price as of June 13, 2008.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">The Restricted Stock Units will vest on the date of the Issuer's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders, immediately prior to the vote for directors, if the reporting person has been a director for the entire year and has attended at least 75% of the meetings held by the Board of Directors and the Board committees on which he serves, and will be paid at that time in shares of the Issuer's class A common stock unless the reporting person has made an election to defer the receipt of such shares at the time and in the manner provided by the Board of Directors.</footnote>
