exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2005, and (iii) 2,626 shares of Class
A Common Stock held in Mr. Lutnick's 401(k) account. Mr. Lutnick has shared
voting and dispositive power with respect to 175,589 shares of Common Stock held

Trust, of which Mr. Lutnick's wife and one other person are co-trustees who must
