Explanation of Responses:
1. On 1/1/2016, 2,772 restricted stock units vested pursuant to their terms. 1,848 restricted stock units did not vest due to two of the five performance metrics not being satisfied and were forfeited. On 2/11/2016, 1,877 shares of Class A Common Stock were issued to Ms. Hager. The balance (895 shares) were withheld to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of the restricted stock units.
2. Each restricted stock unit represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock upon vesting of the unit.
3. The restricted stock units vest as follows: (i) up to 50% on 1/1/2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance metrics; and (ii) 50% on 1/1/2017 and in each case subject to the recipient's continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
4. No expiration date.
5. The restricted stock units vest as follows: (i) up to 50% on 1/1/2018, subject to the satisfaction of certain performance metrics; and (ii) 50% on 1/1/2018 and in each case subject to the recipient's continued employment through the applicable vesting date.
