Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares transferred to the Company for tax withholding in connection with the settlement of restricted stock units of Class A common stock whose grant was originally reported on a Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2015.

2. On January 22, 2016, the Company declared a dividend, payable to all holders of record of Class A common stock on February 8, 2016, of $1.80 for each share of Class A common stock outstanding. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and the outstanding grants of restricted stock units (RSUs) of Class A common stock, any RSUs of Class A common stock that were unvested (or vested but not settled) as of the dividend record date were entitled, in lieu of any cash dividend, to a stock dividend for each unvested (or vested but not settled) RSU of Class A common stock equal to the per-share cash dividend amount divided by the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the dividend date. As a result, as of February 19, 2016, the reporting person received 994 additional RSUs of Class A common stock, subject to the vesting and distribution requirements of the underlying RSUs held by the reporting person.
