        <footnote id="F2">A restricted stock unit award was granted on March 9, 2010.  The award is part time-vested and part performance-vested.   The time-vested portion of the award vests in three equal parts on March 9, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  If the performance objective is achieved, this portion of the award will vest over the same three-year period. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit converts into one Class A Common share of the Company.</footnote>
