Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") dated the 2nd day of March, 2009, Mr. Stack's former spouse is entitled to receive the economic benefit with respect to stock options exercisable for 3,350,000 shares of common stock (the number of shares would be equitably adjusted for any stock split, recapitalization or similar event), which includes the right to request the exercise and/or sale of such stock options in accordance with the Company's applicable policies, Section 16(b) limitations and the terms of the MOU. Mr. Stack maintains voting power with respect to any such stock underlying these options when such option is exercised. This transaction reflects the exercise and sale of shares underlying a vested stock option and transfer of the net after tax proceeds thereof in accordance with the terms of the MOU.
(2) Includes 18,621,808 shares of Class B common stock, which is not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Holders of Class B common stock have identical rights to holders of common stock, except that holders of Class B common stock are entitled to 10 votes for each share held of record. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into one share of common stock.
(3) Shares are held by the reporting person on behalf of children. The reporting person dislaims beneficial ownership of those securities, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(4) Represents the weighted average of multiple sales transactions ranging in price from $22.40 to $22.41. The reporting person agrees to provide full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price upon request by the SEC Commission staff, the Company or a security holder of the Company.
