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)	This transaction reflects the conversion of restricted stock units into Class A Common Shares.
(2)	The terms of this long-term incentive award mandate that the Company withhold shares to satisfy the reporting person's tax obligation.
(3)	Forty percent of the units awarded in 2016 were contingent on performance measures. Because the company did not meet these measures, the subject units did not vest and were forfeited under terms of the award.
(4)	This restricted stock unit award will vest in equal parts in 2017 and 2018. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit will convert into one Class A Common Share of the Company.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
