Explanation of Responses: |
1. Includes (i) 7,500 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to a restricted stock unit award granted on July 3, 2007 that will be issued incrementally as those units vest over a defined service period, and (ii) 102 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock acquired under the Issuer's Employee Stock Purchase Plan on January 8, 2009. |
2. Represents shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock underlying restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded to the Reporting Person. 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, 2010, and the balance will vest in a series of three successive equal annual installments on the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the April 3, 2009 award date, subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer. The shares of Class A common stock will, in general, be issued as the RSUs vest. The RSUs also include dividend equivalent rights which will entitle the Reporting Person to the same dividends as would be received were the shares of Class A common stock underlying the RSUs actually outstanding shares. |
3. Includes (i) 7,500 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to a restricted stock unit award granted on July 3, 2007 that will be issued incrementally as those units vest over a defined service period, and (ii) 2,400 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock subject to the reported RSU award. |
4. The option will vest and become exercisable for the underlying shares of Class A common stock in four successive equal annual installments upon the Reporting Person's completion of each year of service with the Issuer over the four year period measured from April 3, 2009, subject to accelerated vesting upon certain changes in ownership or control of the Issuer. |
