Explanation of Responses:

1. The shares of the series of Class B common stock held by the Reporting Person automatically converted into shares of Class P common stock upon the voluntary conversion by holders other than the Reporting Person of shares of Class A common stock of the corresponding series into shares of Class P common stock (and subsequent transfer of such shares of Class P common stock).

2. The Reporting Person disclaims 99% of any beneficial ownership of the shares owned by such limited partnership.

3. The shares of the issuer's Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock are convertible into a fixed aggregate number of shares of the issuer's Class P common stock. The shares of Class A common stock initially were convertible into shares of Class P common stock on a one-for-one basis, and the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock initially were not convertible into any shares of Class P common stock. Upon certain circumstances, the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock may convert into shares of Class P common stock, and the shares of Class A common stock would become convertible in to a correspondingly lesser number of shares of Class P common stock. Any shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock outstanding on May 31, 2015 will automatically convert into shares of Class P common stock.

4. Not applicable.
