F1: No price given, as this is a gift.

F2: Pursuant to the company's 1997 Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan for Directors, directors may defer fees into a phantom stock fund. Under this plan, fees are converted quarterly into phantom shares at the fair market value of the company's Class A Common Shares on the last trading day of each quarter. Upon retirement as a director or at another specified date, the balance may be paid in either shares or cash.

F3: This restricted stock unit award will vest on May 13, 2011. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common share of the Company.
