Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents the number of shares that were acquired upon conversion of Class B Common Stock to Class A Common Stock in connection with the vested restricted stock units (the "RSUs") listed in Table II, based on the Issuer's fair market value per share on the close of the business day of the reported transaction, unless reported transaction falls on a non-business day, in which case the fair market value per share on the close of the prior business day is used. Partial shares were sold following such conversion to satisfy the tax withholding obligations of the Issuer.
(2)	Represents the number of shares sold to cover tax withholding in connection with the vested RSUs listed in Table II. The sales price reported is the weighted average sale price for the number of shares sold. Full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price will be supplied upon request by the Securities & Exchange Commission staff, the Issuer or a security holder of the Issuer.
(3)	100% of the shares underlying the restricted stock unit vested on March 15, 2012.
(4)	Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time at the option of the Reporting Person into one share of Class A Common Stock and has no expiration date. Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into Class A Common Stock on the date on which the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock together represent less than 10% of the aggregate combined voting power of the Issuer's capital stock. In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon (i) any transfer, whether or not for value, (subject to certain exceptions), or (ii) in the event of death of the Reporting Person.
(5)	Not applicable.
