2. These shares were sold in accordance with a stock trading plan adopted on December 14, 2009, in accordance with the guidelines specified by Rule 10b5-1.

3. A restricted stock unit award was granted on March 5, 2009 and vests in four equal parts on March 5, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit converts into one Class A Common share of the Company.

The time-vested portion of the award vests in four equal parts on March 9, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. If the performance objective is achieved, this portion of the award will vest over the same four-year period.
