The number of shares reported above includes (i) 10,153,631 shares of Class
B Common Stock of the Issuer which are immediately convertible into an equal
number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and (ii)
8,500 shares of Class A Common Stock which are subject to issuance pursuant to
options which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 1998. In addition,
if shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred to any person other than a
"Permitted Transferee" (as defined in the Issuer's Second Restated Articles of
Incorporation), such shares are automatically converted on a share-for-share
basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock of
the Issuer have the same attributes as shares of Class A Common Stock of the
Issuer except that each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder
thereof to ten votes on all matters upon which Shareholders have a right to vote
and each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote

If all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were
converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, Mr. Crawford would be deemed to
be the beneficial owner of 6.6% of the Class A Common Stock.
