In August 1998, our board of directors approved a plan to repurchase $10.0 million of our Class A common stock on the open market or in private transactions. Our board has
from time to time increased the amount authorized under the plan, including a $150.0 million increase in June 2010. A total amount of approximately $485.0 million is currently
authorized under the plan. As of December 31, 2010, $153.6 million was available for repurchases under the stock repurchase program. There has been no termination or expiration
of the plan since the initial date of approval.

We have authorized the repurchase of shares acquired by our employees and distributors in certain foreign markets because of regulatory and other issues that make it difficult
or costly for these persons to sell such shares in the open market. These shares were awarded or acquired in connection with our initial public offering in 1996. Of the shares listed
in this column, 2,149 shares in October at an average price per share of $31.79 and 11,446 shares in December at an average price per share of $31.61, relate to repurchases from
such employees and distributors.
