Jonas, the Registrant’s Chairman and Mr. James A. Courter, the Registrant’s Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. In the Original 8-K, the Registrant reported that the information set forth therein was subject to the finalizing of revised definitive employment agreements between the Registrant and each of Mr. Courter and Mr. Jonas. The terms of these revised agreements were approved by the Compensation Committee on October 31, 2008.

On October 31, 2008, Mr. Jonas entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Registrant (the “Jonas Agreement”). The Registrant had previously reported in the Original 8-K grants to Mr. Jonas totaling 5,223,063 restricted shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Jonas Agreement (i) the term of Mr. Jonas’ employment with the Registrant (the “Term”) runs until December 31, 2013 and (ii) Mr. Jonas was granted 3,529,282 restricted shares of the of the Registrant’s Class B Common Stock and 2,650,000 restricted shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock in lieu of a cash base salary during the Term (collectively, the “Jonas Grants”). The Jonas Grants are in lieu of, and not in addition to, the grant of 5,223,063 restricted shares of Common Stock reported in the Original 8-K.

The Jonas Grants vest in different installments throughout the Term as delineated in the Jonas Agreement. Pursuant to the Jonas Agreement, all of the restricted shares payable to Mr. Jonas under the agreement automatically vest in the event of (i) a change in control of the registrant; (ii) Mr. Jonas’ death; or (iii) if Mr. Jonas is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason as defined by the Jonas Agreement. A pro rata portion of the restricted shares will vest in the event of termination for cause. If Mr. Jonas resigns for any reason other than for good reason, Mr. Jonas is not entitled to receive any of the shares issued under the Jonas Grants that have not vested as of the date of resignation. The Jonas Grants were made on October 31, 2008 pursuant to the Registrant’s 2005 Stock option and Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), and are subject to the amendment of the Plan at the Registrant’s annual meeting of stockholders on December 17, 2008.

On November 5, 2008, Mr. Courter entered into an amendment to his employment agreement (the “Courter Agreement”) with the Registrant.

Pursuant to the Courter Agreement, Mr. Courter was granted 1,068,907 restricted shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Courter Shares”) in lieu of a cash base salary from January 1, 2009 until October 21, 2009. The Courter Shares were granted in lieu of, and not in addition to, the grant to Mr. Courter of 903,556 restricted shares of Class B Common Stock reported in the Original 8-K.

The Courter Shares are scheduled to vest on October 21, 2009, the last day of the term under the Courter Agreement. Pursuant to the Courter Agreement, all of the restricted shares payable to Mr. Courter under the agreement automatically vest in the event of (i) a change in control of the registrant; (ii) Mr. Courter’s death; or (iii) if Mr. Courter is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason as defined by the Courter Agreement. A pro rata portion of the restricted shares will vest in the event of termination for cause. If Mr. Courter resigns for any reason other than for good reason, Mr. Courter is not entitled to receive any of the Courter Shares that have not vested as of the date of resignation. The Courter Shares were granted on November 5, 2008 pursuant to the Plan, and are subject to the amendment of the Plan at the Registrant’s annual meeting of stockholders on December 17, 2008.
