declared our first quarterly dividend for fiscal 2014 of $0.33 per share of Class A Common Stock, payable on March 25, 2014 to
stockholders of record on March 17, 2014. Our payment of dividends is and will continue to be restricted by or subject to, among
other limitations, applicable provisions of federal and state laws, our earnings and various business considerations, including our
financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, the level of our capital expenditures, our future business prospects, our status
as a holding company and such other matters that our Board of Directors deems relevant. In addition, the terms of the senior credit
facility restrict our ability to pay dividends under certain circumstances. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources” herein for further information regarding
restrictions on our dividend payments.
