Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )On September 29, 2008, Cypress distributed all 42,033,287 shares of Class B Common Stock then owned by Cypress to Cypress' stockholders as a stock dividend (the "Spin Off"). Prior to the completion of the Spin Off, shares of Class B Common Stock were convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis by Cypress at its option and under certain other circumstances. Following the completion of the Spin Off, the shares of Class B Common Stock are no longer convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock. ( 2 )As noted in footnote (1), shares of Class B Common Stock were convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis prior to the completion of the Spin Off. Cypress has previously reported acquisitions and dispositions of shares of Class B Common Stock as acquisitions and dispositions of shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively, on ?Table I-Non-Derivative Securities Acquired, Disposed of, or Beneficially Owned? of the relevant forms filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the relevant rules promulgated thereunder.
