Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. In addition, (i) each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon (A) the date specified by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, or (B) any transfer of such share (subject to certain exceptions), and (ii) upon the death of a natural person holding shares of Class B Common Stock, each share of Class B Common Stock held by that person or any of his or her permitted estate planning entities will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock.
( 2)  In addition to the events set forth in footnote (1), the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will each convert automatically into a single class of Common Stock on the date on which the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock represents less than 10% of the aggregate combined number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.
