	II.	Method of Payment 

 The Performance Based Compensation determined for 2014 under the

by dividing (x) two times the Performance Based Compensation Amount by (y) the closing price for the Class B Common Stock of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange as of the close of trading on December 31, 2014. The value of any
fractional shares shall be paid in cash. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, exercise negative discretion to reduce the Performance Based Compensation Amount by any amount and instead pay the amount by which the Performance Based
Compensation Amount has been reduced in cash on a 1 for 1 basis, rather than converting that amount into Shares on a 2 for 1 basis as described above. The restrictions on the Shares shall lapse on the first to occur of (i) October 15, 2022
(ii) termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company by reason of Executive’s disability or death, (iii) the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company for Good Reason; (iv) the Company’s
termination of Executive’s employment without Cause, or (v) the occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company (“Good Reason”, “Cause”, and “Change in Control” to be defined in a manner consistent with the
most recent grant of Restricted Stock by the Company to the Executive). 
  

	III.	Incentive Compensation Plan 

 The performance based award and method of payment specified
above (the “Award”) are being made by the Compensation Committee pursuant to Section 8 of the Company’s 2001 Amended and Restated Incentive Compensation Plan or any successor plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and are subject
to the limitations contained in Section 5 of the Incentive Plan. The Award is intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.
