Shares of Class B Common Stock (i) may be converted immediately on a one-for-one basis by the holder into shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) are automatically converted into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis upon transfer to a person or entity that is not a "Permitted Transferee" (as defined in Issuer's Restated Certificate of Incorporation) or soon after a record date for a meeting of stockholders where the outstanding Class B Common Stock constitutes less than 10% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer. The number of securities reported represents an aggregate number of shares sold in multiple open market transactions over a range of sales prices. The price reported represents the weighted average price. The Reporting Person undertakes to provide to the staff of the SEC, the Issuer, or a stockholder of the Issuer, upon request, the number of shares sold by the Reporting Person at each separate price within the range. Sales prices range from $64.97 to $65.45 per share, inclusive. Sales prices range from $65.51 to $66.50 per share, inclusive. Sales prices range from $65.68 to $66.16 per share, inclusive. RSL disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares to the extent he does not have a pecuniary interest in such securities. Ronald S.
