In
                accordance with Rule 457(h) and General Instruction
                E to Form S-8, the proposed maximum aggregate offering price and
                the
                amount of the registration fee is computed with respect to the
                maximum number of the registrant's securities issuable under the
                plan that
                are covered by this registration statement.  The offering price per
                share of Class A Common Stock, as determined by the Company's Board
                of Directors, is $14.00, and such offering price applies to purchases
                of
                such stock under the BNA 401(k) Plan and to purchases (and sales) of
                such stock under the Stock Purchase and Transfer
                Plan.
In
      addition, pursuant to Rule 416(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, this
      Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate amount of interests to
      be
      offered or sold pursuant to the BNA 401(k) Plan.
