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 the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan, Stock Units are units of unpaid cash or Stock Award (as defined in the Plan) compensation deferred by a participant under the plan. Stock Units entitle the holder thereof to receive an equivalent number of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock upon certain termination events.
(2) On August 24, 2011, the Company terminated its Amended and Restated Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. All Stock Units in a director's account were converted to an equivalent amount of cash determined by multiplying the number of Stock Units times the average of the closing prices of the Company's common stock during the ten business days preceding the August 24, 2011 valuation date, and such balance was transferred to the Company's Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (DEFCO). The amounts transferred may not be withdrawn by Mr. Pippin until Mr. Pippin's termination of board service, at which time the account will be paid in a lump sum. Further, Mr. Pippin will not be allowed to contribute additional amounts to his DEFCO account.
(3) The Stock Units do not entitle the holder thereof to any voting or other rights as a Company shareholder until the date of issuance of a certificate representing shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock in lieu of such Stock Units. The Stock Units represent deferred compensation that was to be be paid out upon Mr. Pippin's termination of services as a director of the Company for any reason. Due to the conversion of the Stock Units discussed above, they no longer remain outstanding.
