Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Represents shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock underlying restricted stock units ("RSUs") awarded to the Reporting Person. The RSUs will vest in a series of four successive equal annual installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the July 6, 2010 award date, subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer. The shares of Class A common stock will be issued as the RSUs vest. (footnote continued below)
( 2)  (continued from footnote 1 above) The RSUs also include dividend equivalent rights pursuant to which the Reporting Person will be credited with the same dividends on the shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock underlying the RSU award that the Reporting Person would have received had those shares been actually outstanding at the time any dividends are paid on the Issuer's outstanding Class A common stock. The credited dividends will be paid to the Reporting Person at the same time the vested shares of Class A common stock are issued under the RSU award.
( 3)  Includes (i) 18,928 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to the reported RSU award, (ii) 8,700 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 2, 2009, (iii) 2,338 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted October 31, 2008, and (iv) 7,000 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 3, 2007. The 8,700 shares underlying the July 2, 2009 RSUs will be issued when those units vest (subject to an initial performance-vesting requirement) in a series of four successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the August 31, 2010, July 2, 2011, July 2, 2012, and July 2, 2013 vesting dates. (footnote continued below)
( 4)  (continued from footnote 3 above) The 2,338 shares underlying the October 31, 2008 RSUs will be issued when those units vest in three successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the August 31, 2010, August 31, 2011, and August 31, 2012 vesting dates. The 7,000 shares underlying the July 3, 2007 RSUs will be issued when those units vest in two successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the August 31, 2010 and August 31, 2011 vesting dates. All of the RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer.
