Explanation of Responses:
*   The original filing of this Form 5 (the "Original Filing") was made on February 13, 2003. The Original Filing erroneously
    reported four purchases of Class A common stock that were made by a trust in which Donald Rechler has no pecuniary interest.
    This Amendment is being filed to remove those transactions from the report, and as a result to correct the total number of
    shares beneficially owned by Mr. Rechler. Also, the transaction code for Mr. Rechler's disposition of 25,000 shares to the
    Company has been changed from "S" to "D".
(1) The grant will vest in four equal annual installments beginning on November 14, 2003.
+   These shares were transferred to the Company in repayment of a $678,125 loan to Donald Rechler that was granted to Mr. Rechler
    for the purchase of the shares. The loan, which was secured by the shares, matured on December 10, 2002.
++  Includes 759 shares owned through the Company's 401(k) Plan.
