notice by the holder of such Class B Common stating that such holder desires to
convert the shares, or a stated number of the shares, of such Class B Common
represented by such certificate or certificates into shares of Class A Common.
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of
business on the date on which such certificate or certificates have been
surrendered and such notice has been received, and at such time the rights of
the holder of the converted Class B Common shall cease and the person or persons
in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for shares of Class A

Common shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens (other than any lien which existed
in respect of the shares which were converted, immediately prior to such
conversion) and charges.
