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) The Estate of Henrietta Milstein acquired 1,430 shares in connection with the redemption of the Estate's entire interest in an exchange fund. As the 1,430 shares of issuer common stock were a part of the diversified portfolio of securities acquired by the Estate in connection with the redemption, the reporting person had been inadvertently unaware of their inclusion in the portfolio until recently. The shares of issuer common stock were valued at $28.04 per share for the purpose of determining the number of shares distributable to the Estate in connection with the redemption. As executor of the Estate, the reporting person has voting and dispositive power over these shares, but disclaims beneficial ownership of such shares, except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
(2) Includes 6,743,984 shares held by the Trust Established Under Article SIXTH of the Last Will and Testament of Henrietta Milstein (the "Trust"). The reporting person may be deemed to have an indirect beneficial interest in the shares owned by the Trust because the reporting person is a beneficiary under the Trust and has limited dispositive rights with respect to the shares owned by the Trust. The reporting person disclaims any such interest. Also includes 11,772,216 shares representing the reporting person's proportionate interest in 12,000,000 shares held by Samgray, L.P. The reporting person is a limited partner in Samgray, L.P., and members of the reporting person's family control the general partner of Samgray, L.P.
