Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) The Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. The Class B Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of the Issuer's Class A Common Stock on a one-to-one basis either (1) upon any transfer of the Class B Common Stock by the holder, whether or not for value, subject to certain exceptions or (2) if the voting power of the Issuer's outstanding Class B Common Stock represents less than 10% of the combined voting power of all of the Issuer's outstanding common stock.

Remarks:
By virtue of being party to a certain Third Amended and Restated Stockholders' Agreement (the "Stockholders'Agreement"), the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with respect to the securities reported herein with the other parties who are bound by the Stockholders'Agreement, which such "group" beneficially owns, in the aggregate, in excess of 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities owned by any of the other signatories to the Stockholders'Agreement and the filing of this Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, that the Reporting Person and any other person or persons constitute a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 thereunder. The Reporting Person does not have any pecuniary interest in any of the securities beneficially owned by any of the other signatories to the Stockholders'Agreement.
Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure. Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
