        <footnote id="F1">The shares of restricted Series A Common Stock were granted to eligible non-employee directors pursuant to the registrant's 2007 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan. The period of restriction with respect to the Shares shall lapse two years from the Shares' grant date, at which time vested shares shall be delivered to the Reporting Person.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">This amendment is being filed to correct the number of shares of restricted stock awarded to the reporting person. As a chairperson of a committee of the registrant's board of directors, the reporting person automatically receives 1,500 shares of restricted stock annually under the registrant's 2007 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, rather than the 1,000 shares originally reported.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This amendment is being filed to correct the number of options granted to the reporting person. As a chairperson of a committee of the registrant's board of directors, the reporting person automatically receives 6,000 options annually under the registrant's 2007 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan, rather than the 4,000 options originally reported.</footnote>
