Dividends and Other Distributions; Reinvestment.  Stock dividends and other distributions in shares of Class B Common Stock of the Company on shares held by the Custodian shall be issued to the Custodian and held by it for the account of the respective participants entitled thereto.  Cash distributions other than dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be paid currently to the participants entitled thereto.  Cash dividends, if any, on shares held by the Custodian will be reinvested in Class B Common Stock on behalf of the participants entitled thereto.  The Custodian shall establish a separate account for each participant for the purpose of holding shares acquired through reinvestment of the participant’s dividends.  On each dividend payment date, the Custodian shall receive from the Company the aggregate amount of dividends payable with respect to all shares held by the Custodian for participants’ accounts under the Plan.  As soon as practicable thereafter, the Custodian shall use all of the funds so received to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock in the public market, and shall then allocate such shares (including fractional shares) among the dividend reinvestment accounts of the participants pro rata based on the amount of dividends reinvested for each participant.  A participant may sell or transfer shares in the participant’s dividend reinvestment account in accordance with paragraph 9 above, except that there shall be no holding period required for a transfer from a dividend reinvestment account.
