The RSUs are subject to both performance-vesting and service-vesting requirements. Should the performance objective be attained, then 25% of the RSUs will vest upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through August 31, 2016, and the balance will vest in a series of three successive equal installments upon the Reporting Person's continuation in service with the Issuer through each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the August 12, 2015 grant date, subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer. The shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock underlying the RSUs have been deferred and will be issued in one lump sum on January 1, 2024.

The credited dividends will be paid to the Reporting Person at the same time the vested shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock to which they relate are issued under the RSU grant. When the vested shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock underlying the RSUs become issuable following the satisfaction of the applicable performance-vesting and service-vesting requirements, a portion of those shares will be withheld by the Issuer to cover the applicable withholding taxes.
