(5) Estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee based on 85% of a per share price of $2.36, the average of the high and low prices of the Registrant’s Class A common stock on October 30, 2014, as reported on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Pursuant to the 2011 ESPP, which plan is incorporated by reference herein, the purchase price of the shares of Class A common stock to be issued thereunder will be 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the first trading day of the offering period or on the applicable purchase date.
