( 2)  Includes (i) 20,090 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted January 14, 2011, (ii) 15,152 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 6, 2010, (iii) 6,915 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 2, 2009, (iv) 1,200 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted April 3, 2009, and (v) 2,500 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 3, 2007. The 20,090 shares underlying the January 14, 2011 RSUs will be issued when those units vest in three successive installments over the Reporting Person's period of service with the Issuer as follows: 20% of the RSUs will vest upon continuation in service through September 15, 2011, and the balance will vest in two successive equal annual installments upon continued service through September 15, 2012 and September 15, 2013, respectively. The January 14, 2011 RSUs will vest in full on an accelerated basis upon an involuntary termination of the Reporting Person's service without cause. (footnote continued below).
( 3)  (continued from footnote 2 above) The 15,152 shares underlying the July 6, 2010 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, 2011, July 6, 2012, July 6, 2013, and July 6, 2014 vesting dates. The 6,915 shares underlying the July 2, 2009 RSUs will be issued when those units vest in a series of three successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the July 2, 2011, July 2, 2012, and July 2, 2013 vesting dates (footnote continued below)
( 4)  (continued from footnote 3 above) . The 1,200 shares underlying the April 3, 2009 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 April 3, 2012, and April 3, 2013 vesting dates. The 2,500 shares underlying the July 3, 2007 RSUs will be issued when those units vest upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through August 31, 2011. All of the RSUs are subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer. Does not include the performance share award made to the Reporting Person on July 6, 2010 for 5,349 target shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock that will not actually convert into any such shares unless the applicable performance goal is attained at threshold level or above.
