Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares acquired by the reporting person quarterly between May 13, 2016 and May 11, 2018 under an automatic cash dividend reinvestment program through his broker that has been terminated, at prices ranging from $70.73 to $109.60. Due to the nature and de minimis size of these transactions, the reporting person inadvertently failed to report these transactions under Section 16(a). The reporting person will provide to the Company, any security holder of the Company, or the staff of the SEC, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares acquired at each price.
2. Each share of phantom stock represents the right to receive one share of Series A Common Stock.
3. The reported phantom stock represents dividend equivalents on compensation deferred under the Company's 2008 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The shares of phantom stock become payable in shares of Series A Common Stock, as provided in the Plan, following the termination of the reporting person's service as a director of the Company.
