The dispositive and voting power of the shares held by each of the GRATs is independent of each other, except to the extent that Mr. William R. Gouger is the trustee of each of the GRATs and in that respect is able to control the disposition and voting of the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by each such GRAT.
