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 shares of the series of Class B and common stock and Class C common stock held by the Reporting Person automatically converted into shares of Class P common stock upon the voluntary conversion by holders other than the Reporting Person of shares of Class A common stock of the corresponding series into shares of Class P common stock (and subsequent transfer of such shares of Class P common stock).
(2)	On June 13, 2012, a limited partnership controlled by the Reporting Person distributed, in a pro rata distribution, 51,176 shares to the Reporting Person, changing the form of beneficial ownership of such shares from indirect to direct.
(3)	Pro rata distribution from a limited partnership controlled by the Reporting Person to his daughters' trusts, in which the Reporting Person has no pecuniary interest.
(4)	The shares of the issuer's Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock are convertible into a fixed aggregate number of shares of the issuer's Class P common stock. The shares of Class A common stock initially were convertible into shares of Class P common stock on a one-for-one basis, and the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock initially were not convertible into any shares of Class P common stock. Upon certain circumstances, the shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock may convert into shares of Class P common stock, and the shares of Class A common stock would become convertible in to a correspondingly lesser number of shares of Class P common stock. Any shares of Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class C common stock outstanding on May 31, 2015 will automatically convert into shares of Class P common stock.
(5)	Not applicable.
