4,000,000 shares previously registered under the 1999 Plan pursuant to a

average exercise price of the 2,166,400 shares of the Additional Shares
subject to outstanding options under the 1999 Plan is $27.43. With respect
to the 833,600 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Additional Shares
available for future grants under the 1999 Plan, the estimated Proposed
Maximum Offering Price Per Share was estimated pursuant to Rule 457(c)
based upon the average between the high and low price of the Class B Common
Stock reported in the Nasdaq National Market on July 5, 2000, which average
was $15.97. The number referenced above in the table entitled "Proposed
