(1) The Committee established a series of performance targets based on
revenues and earnings per share for each applicable performance
period corresponding to award payouts ranging from 0% to 150% of
the target awards. Under the terms of the awards, on August 15 of
the last year of the applicable performance period participants
will be issued a payout at the average of the percentage levels
corresponding to the results for the two targets, subject to the
Committee's discretion to reduce or eliminate any award based on
Company or individual performance. A portion of the payout equal
to the required tax withholding will be payable in cash and used
to satisfy the withholding. The balance of the payout will be
payable at the election of the participant in either (a) cash, (b)
shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company valued at the
closing price of the Class B Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange on the payout date, or (c) a mix of cash and shares. The
cash and shares will be 100% vested at that time. The awards to
Mr. Perez were required pursuant to the terms of Mr. Perez's
employment agreement with the Company, a copy of which was filed
as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
