Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  Represents shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock withheld to satisfy the Issuer's tax withholding obligation upon the vesting of restricted stock units (RSUs) and the issuance of the underlying shares of Class A common stock.
( 2)  Includes (i) 11,220 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 6, 2011, (ii) 14,185 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted January 14, 2011, (iii) 14,196 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 6, 2010, (iv) 4,350 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted July 2, 2009, and (v) 779 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to RSUs granted October 31, 2008. The 11,220 shares underlying the July 6, 2011 RSUs will be issued when those units vest (subject to an initial performance-vesting requirement) in four successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of August 31, 2012, July 6, 2013, July 6, 2014, and July 6, 2015 vesting dates. (footnote continued below)
( 3)  (continued from footnote 2 above) The 14,185 shares underlying the January 14, 2011 RSUs will be issued when they 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. 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. The 14,196 shares underlying the July 6, 2010 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 6, 2012, July 6, 2013, and July 6, 2014 vesting dates. The 4,350 shares underlying the July 2, 2009 RSUs will be issued when those units vest in a series of two successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the July 2, 2012, and July 2, 2013 vesting dates. (footnote continued below)
( 4)  (continued from footnote 3 above) The 779 shares underlying the October 31, 2008 RSUs will be issued upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through the August 31, 2012 vesting date. 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, 2011 for 2,766 target shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock which will not actually convert into any such shares unless the applicable performance goal is attained at threshold level or above.
