Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive, upon exercise, the number of shares of the Corporation's Class C Non-Voting Common Stock equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the grant price. ( 2 )Transaction effected pursuant to a trading plan adopted by Ms. Leibold in accordance with Rule 10b5-1. ( 3 )Exercisable beginning August 31, 2010 with respect to 1667 shares, beginning August 31, 2011 with respect to 1667 shares, and beginning August 31, 2012 with respect to 1666 shares.
