Holders of Class B Common Stock are not entitled to participate in any dividends or other distributions made by the Corporation to holders of its capital stock, except for the right to receive the par value thereof upon the Corporation's liquidation or dissolution. |

Pursuant to the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement, each Class B Unit is exchangeable for a share of Class A Common Stock of the Corporation, subject to the timing and volume limitations set forth in the Amended Pzena LLC Agreement (as further described in footnotes 5-8 below). |

Pursuant to the Resale and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 30, 2007, among the Corporation and the holders of Class B Units as of such date, the Corporation has agreed to use its best effforts to file, and have the SEC declare effective, such a Form S-3 registration statement as soon as practicable after the Corporation becomes eligible to use Form S-3, which is expected to be on or after October 24, 2008. |
