Explanation of Responses:

1. These units of limited partnership interest ("AB Units") in AllianceBernstein L.P. ("AllianceBernstein") are directly owned by ACMC, Inc. ("ACMC"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial").

2. These AB Units are directly owned by AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company ("AXA Equitable"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial.

3. These AB Units are directly owned by AXA Financial (Bermuda) Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial.

4. AXA indirectly owns all of the common stock (the "Common Stock") of AXA Financial, which is the direct and indirect beneficial owner of the securities covered by this Form 4. As of December 31, 2007, AXA Assurances I.A.R.D. Mutuelle and AXA Assurances Vie Mutuelle (collectively, the "Mutuelles AXA"), directly and indirectly owned approximately 14.48% of the issued ordinary shares (representing approximately 20.84% of the voting power) of AXA. The Mutuelles AXA and AXA expressly declare that the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that either of them is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Form 4.

5. AXA has deposited its shares of Common Stock into a voting trust. AXA will remain the indirect beneficial owner of such Common Stock, but during the term of the voting trust, the AXA Voting Trustees will exercise all voting rights with respect to the Common Stock. Accordingly, the AXA Voting Trustees may be deemed to beneficially own the securities covered by this Form 4. The AXA Voting Trustees expressly declare that the filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that any of them is, for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Form 4.

6. In addition to the AB Units reported in this Form 4, the Reporting Persons beneficially own units representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership interests ("Holding Units") in AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("Holding") as follows. As of December 19, 2008, ACMC beneficially owned directly 722,178 Holding Units and AXA Equitable beneficially owned directly 722,178 Holding Units. Equitable Holdings, LLC wholly owns AllianceBernstein Corporation, the general partner of both AllianceBernstein and Holding. As of December 19, 2008, Holding owned 87,601,715 AB Units. For more information on the Reporting Persons' holdings of Holding Units, see their separate Form 4 filings with respect to Holding Units.

7. The AB Units are highly illiquid, and the ability of a holder of AB Units to exchange them in the future for Holding Units if it so desires is substantially limited. In general, transfers of AB Units will be allowed only with the written consent of both AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein. AXA Equitable and the general partner of AllianceBernstein have stated that they intend to refuse to consent to any transfer that is not described in the safe harbors set forth in the United States Treasury regulations.

8. AXA Financial entered into a purchase agreement with SCB Inc. (f/k/a Sanford C. Bernstein Inc.)("SCB") and AllianceBernstein, dated as of June 20, 2000 (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which it granted SCB the right, beginning on the second anniversary of the closing of AllianceBernstein's acquisition of substantially all of the assets and liabilities of SCB (the "Acquisition"), to cause AXA Financial (or its designee) to purchase AB Units received by SCB as part of consideration for the Acquisition (in the aggregate, such AB Units are referred to herein as the "Equity Consideration"). This right is exercisable no more than once annually during each of the eight years following the second anniversary of the closing of the Acquisition (October 2, 2000), in an amount not to exceed 20% of the AB Units paid to SCB as part of the Equity Consideration per year and subject to deferral under certain circumstances.

9. On December 19, 2008, SCB and SCB Partners Inc. delivered a notice to AXA Financial stating that it was exercising its right to sell 8,160,000 AB Units to AXA Financial (or its designee) under the Purchase Agreement. As provided in the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for each such AB Unit will be the average of the closing prices of a Holding Unit as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange composite tape for the ten trading days ending on December 29, 2008, the fifth trading day following the December 19, 2008 exercise date. While the purchase price will not be determined until December 29, 2008, and the settlement date will be subsequent to that date, the Reporting Persons are filing this form to report AXA Financial's receipt, on December 19, 2008, of SCB's notice of exercise of its right to sell.

10. It is expected that these AB Units will be directly owned by AXA Financial or other AXA Financial designee upon settlement of the transaction described in footnotes (8) and (9) that is the subject of this Form 4.

11. These AB Units are directly owned by MONY Life Insurance Company, which is wholly owned by AXA Equitable Financial Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of AXA Financial.

12. These AB Units are directly owned by MONY Life Insurance Company of America, which is wholly owned by MONY Life.
