(5)   Seller entered into another variable prepaid forward on the common stock of the Issuer in August 2004, which was reported on a separate Form 4.  
The August 2004 transaction along with the transaction reported in Table II reflect the entire position of Seller in variable prepaid forwards on 
common stock of Issuer at the end of June 16, 2005.

(6)        With effect on the date shown on Table II, column 3, Seller entered into a variable prepaid forward securities contract and a related pledge 
agreement with an unaffiliated third party buyer.  The contract relates to 20,000 shares of the Class A common stock of Issuer.
        At the time that the parties entered into the variable prepaid forward the buyer paid the seller an agreed upon sum as the prepayment price 
of the shares to be delivered at the maturity of the Contract (see Item (4) above).  The price per share is indeterminate until the number of 
shares sold is determined at maturity, but a maximum and a minimum price per share for each Contract can be computed (see Item (4) 
above). 
        On the maturity date Seller will deliver a number of shares of Class A common stock determined as follows (the Final Price being the 
price per Share at which Seller is able to execute transactions eliminating its hedge position in respect of the transaction):  (a) if the Final 
Price is less than the Floor Price, the entire number of shares to which the Contract relates ("Number of Shares"); (b) if the Final Price is 
less than or equal to the Cap Price and greater than or equal to the Floor Price, a number of shares equal to the Floor Price divided by the 
Final Price and the result multiplied by the Number of Shares; and (c) if the Final Price is greater than the Cap Price, a number of Shares 
equal to 
        Floor Price + (Final Price + Cap Price) X Number of Shares
        ______________________________________
                        Final Price
                        
        Each Contract also provides that any cash dividends paid before the maturity date will be retained by or paid over to the buyer as 
collateral, that the Floor Price and the Cap Price may be reduced by the amounts of any cash dividends, and that the Number of Shares, the 
Floor Price and the Cap Price are subject to certain other adjustments.  Seller has delivered the Number of Shares to the buyer pursuant to 
the pledge agreement to secure its obligations under the Contract but will retain all voting rights in the shares to which the Contract relates 
before the maturity date thereof.
        The Contract may be cash-settled at the option of the buyer.  The settlement amount is the Final Price multiplied by the number of Shares 
to be delivered.
