Explanation of Responses:

1. The grant reported above represents Restricted Common Stock Units ("RSUs") accrued in connection with a dividend declared by Issuer on its Common Stock and as a result of certain dividend equivalent rights associated with the reporting person's existing RSUs. These RSUs also reflect a 3-for-1 stock split in the form of a 200% dividend paid by the Company on February 24, 2006. As a result, the number of shares represented by these RSUs have been tripled. In addition, on April 11, 2006, the shareholders of the Issuer approved an amendment to its restated certificate of incorporation to reclassify its existing Common Stock and Class B Common Stock into a new class of common stock. As a result, all of the reporting person's outstanding RSUs now represent shares of the Issuer's new class of common stock.

2. On June 9, 2005, the reporting person was granted up to 4,254 Restricted Common Stock Units ("RSUs") subject to the satisfaction of certain performance conditions. On April 21, 2006, the performance conditions as of March 31, 2006 were determined to have been satisfied such that 3,303 RSUs became vested and reportable on such date. The remaining RSUs have been forfeited. The Restricted Common Stock Unit grant reported above represents these vested RSUs which are issuable in shares of Common Stock as follows: one-third of the Common Stock is issuable immediately; one-third becomes issuable on March 31, 2007; and the remaining one-third becomes issuable on March 31, 2008. The number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RSUs has been adjusted to reflect a 3-for-1 stock split in the form of a 200% dividend paid by the Company on February 24, 2006.
