14 (1) The number of shares and the percentage of ownership set forth in the Class A Stock table includes the number of shares of Class A Stock that can be purchased by exercising stock options that are exercisable on August 28, 2001 or become exercisable within 60 days thereafter ("presently exercisable"). Such number does not include the number of option shares that may become exercisable within sixty (60) days of August 28, 2001 due to certain acceleration provisions in certain awards, which accelerations cannot be foreseen on the date of this Schedule 13D. Such number also does not include the shares of Class A Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion feature of the Class B Stock beneficially owned by each person. The number of shares and percentage of ownership assuming conversion of Class B Stock into Class A Stock are contained in the footnotes. For purposes of calculating the percentage of ownership of Class A Stock in the table and in the footnotes, additional shares of Class A Stock equal to the number of presently exercisable options and, as appropriate, the number of shares of Class B Stock owned by each person are assumed to be outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act. Where the footnotes reflect shares of Class A Stock as being included, such shares are included only in the Class A Stock table and where the footnotes reflect shares of Class B Stock as being included, such shares are included only in the Class B Stock table. (2) The shares are owned by the LLC. The Partnership is the sole manager of the LLC. The General Partner owns a 0.1% general partnership interest in the Partnership and is the sole general partner of the Partnership. Richard Sands and Robert Sands each own 50% of the issued and outstanding stock of the General Partner and are the only directors and officers of the General Partner. The shares of Class A Stock owned by the LLC are included in the number of shares beneficially owned by the Partnership, the General Partner, Richard Sands, Robert Sands and the Group described in footnote (3) below. Each of the Partnership, the General Partner, Richard Sands and Robert Sands disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by the LLC except to the extent of its or his direct or indirect ownership interest in the LLC. There are no shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by any of the LLC, the Partnership or the General Partner. (3) The Group as reported consists of the LLC, the Partnership, the General Partner, Richard Sands, Robert Sands, Marilyn Sands, CWCP-I and M, L, R & R. The basis for the Group consists of: (i) the organization documents governing the Partnership and the LLC, and (ii) the agreement of all members of the Group to coordinate investment activities with respect to the shares of Class A Stock owned by the LLC and M, L, R & R. Assuming the conversion of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the Group into Class A Stock, the Group would beneficially own 9,878,805 shares of Class A Stock, representing 23.1% of the outstanding Class A Stock after such conversion. (4) The amount reflected as shares of Class A Stock over which Richard Sands has the sole power to vote or dispose includes 297,613 shares of Class A Stock issuable upon the exercise of options which are presently exercisable by Mr. Sands.
