*	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)	On April 13, 2010, the reporting person was granted a performance-based award (PSA) of restricted stock units. The actual number of shares of Class A Common Stock earned could vary from 0% to 140% of the target award based on fiscal year 2011 performance. Based on fiscal 2011 performance, the number of shares earned equaled 140% of the target award. The amount shown above represents the number of shares earned at the target performance level, which converted on a 1-for-1 basis into Class A Common Stock.
(2)	The award is also subject to further time-based vesting restrictions with 25% of the actual shares earned vesting on May 18, 2011 with the remaining 75% vesting in equal installments annually beginning on April 1, 2012 and for each of the following two years concluding on April 1, 2014.
(3)	The amount shown above represents shares earned pursuant to the PSA in excess of the target level as a result of fiscal 2011 financial performance.
(4)	Withholding of shares to satisfy statutory tax withholding obligations on vesting of the PSA.
(5)	The transaction involved a contribution of securities by the reporting person into the Gilbert Revocable Trust for which Mr. Gilbert is a co-trustee.
