In the case of an Automatic Conversion of a Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, such Holder must deliver to the corporation the certificate or certificates (if any) that represented such shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock as a condition to receiving the Class A Common Stock (and, to the extent applicable, any Excess Automatic Conversion Amount issuable upon such Automatic Conversion) or the Alternative Cash Payment or preferred stock referenced in the proviso to Section 6(c), as applicable.

The “Conversion Date” means (1) with respect to an Optional Conversion elected by a Holder, the first date on which such Holder has complied with the procedures in this Section 7(a), except that, in the case of an Optional Conversion that is effected as to less than all of such Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the proviso in Section 6(b), such date shall be the Conversion Date only as to those shares as to which such Optional Conversion can be effected without exceeding such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, and the Conversion Date with respect to the remainder of such Holder’s Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be the first date on which such Holder has complied with such procedures as to such remaining shares and any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the conversion of such remaining shares has expired or terminated early and (2) with respect to an Automatic Conversion, the date on which such Automatic Conversion occurs.

The corporation shall, no later than the effective date of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of Section 6 or this Section 7.

In connection with any Optional Conversion by a Holder, the corporation shall, no later than five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, issue the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such Optional Conversion (and, to the extent applicable, any Excess Amount).

In connection with any conversion of a Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock and/or cash, in the case of any Automatic Conversion or, in the case of an Optional Conversion as to which such Holder shall not in its Conversion Notice have designated the name in which shares of Class A Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares or cash should be delivered, the corporation shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the corporation. The corporation may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable in any Optional Conversion or Automatic Conversion either in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company (including, without limitation, the Direct Registration System service of The Depository Trust Company) or in the form of physical stock certificates.

(d) Status of Converted or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition thereof.

(e) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon an Optional Conversion or an Automatic Conversion, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon an Optional Conversion or an Automatic Conversion of all the shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(f) Conversion Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless and until the Stockholder Approval (to the extent required under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor or other securities exchange determined by the corporation for the trading of the Class A Common Stock) is obtained, no Holder shall have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, and the corporation shall not be required to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to any Holder, in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Share Cap, and, in each case, the corporation may (but shall not be required to), at the corporation’s sole and absolute discretion, obtain Stockholder Approval of such issuance or deliver to such Holder, in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such Holder’s Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Share Cap, an amount of cash per share equal to the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (such cash amount, the “Excess Amount”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent required by applicable law, unless and until the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act in connection with an Automatic Conversion no Holder shall have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, and the corporation shall not be required to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to any Holder, pursuant to such Automatic Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, and, in each case, the corporation may (but shall not be required to), at the corporation’s sole and absolute discretion, in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable to such Holder pursuant to such Automatic Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, deliver to such Holder an amount of cash per share equal to the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (such cash amount, the “Excess Automatic Conversion Amount”).

(h) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable to a Holder, such Holder will be entitled to receive one additional whole share of Class A Common Stock. The determination of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and whether such number of shares would include a fractional share shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted on the applicable Conversion Date.

SECTION 8. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as set forth in this Section 8. If the corporation, at any time while shares of the Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding (i) subdivides the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Class A Common Stock or (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

10

CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)

where

Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the corporation announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such event had not been announced or declared. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made for any dividend or distribution with respect to Class A Common Stock in connection with which the Holders are entitled to a Dividend pursuant to Section 4.

(b) Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the corporation to the nearest 1/10,000th of one share of Class A Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.

(c) Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

(d) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the corporation shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holders advising them of the occurrence of such event and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate.

The corporation shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the corporation of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the corporation.

(b) Certificates Following Conversion. If physical certificates representing the Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are issued, the corporation shall not be required to issue replacement certificates representing shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock on or after the Conversion Date applicable to such shares.

(d) if no comparable exchange-traded product exists and the product trades exclusively by open outcry, the open outcry market has maintained at least 40% of the average open interest in that market during 1999 at Chicago Mercantile Exchange, an Illinois not-for-profit corporation, the predecessor of the Exchange.

In the case of an Automatic Conversion of a Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, such Holder must deliver to the corporation the certificate or certificates (if any) that represented such shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock as a condition to receiving the Class A Common Stock (and, to the extent applicable, any Excess Automatic Conversion Amount issuable upon such Automatic Conversion) or the Alternative Cash Payment or preferred stock referenced in the proviso to Section 6(c), as applicable.

The “Conversion Date” means (1) with respect to an Optional Conversion elected by a Holder, the first date on which such Holder has complied with the procedures in this Section 7(a), except that, in the case of an Optional Conversion that is effected as to less than all of such Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the proviso in Section 6(b), such date shall be the Conversion Date only as to those shares as to which such Optional Conversion can be effected without exceeding such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, and the Conversion Date with respect to the remainder of such Holder’s Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock shall be the first date on which such Holder has complied with such procedures as to such remaining shares and any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to the conversion of such remaining shares has expired or terminated early and (2) with respect to an Automatic Conversion, the date on which such Automatic Conversion occurs.

The corporation shall, no later than the effective date of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of Section 6 or this Section 7.

In connection with any Optional Conversion by a Holder, the corporation shall, no later than five (5) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, issue the number of whole shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon such Optional Conversion (and, to the extent applicable, any Excess Amount).

In connection with any conversion of a Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock and/or cash, in the case of any Automatic Conversion or, in the case of an Optional Conversion as to which such Holder shall not in its Conversion Notice have designated the name in which shares of Class A Common Stock and, to the extent applicable, cash to be delivered upon conversion of shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock should be registered or paid, or the manner in which such shares or cash should be delivered, the corporation shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the corporation. The corporation may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver shares of Class A Common Stock deliverable in any Optional Conversion or Automatic Conversion either in book-entry form through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company (including, without limitation, the Direct Registration System service of The Depository Trust Company) or in the form of physical stock certificates.

(d) Status of Converted or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations, or otherwise acquired by the corporation in any manner whatsoever, shall be retired promptly after the conversion or acquisition thereof.

(e) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Class A Common Stock, solely for issuance upon an Optional Conversion or an Automatic Conversion, such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon an Optional Conversion or an Automatic Conversion of all the shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(f) Conversion Restriction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, unless and until the Stockholder Approval (to the extent required under the listing rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor or other securities exchange determined by the corporation for the trading of the Class A Common Stock) is obtained, no Holder shall have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, and the corporation shall not be required to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to any Holder, in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Share Cap, and, in each case, the corporation may (but shall not be required to), at the corporation’s sole and absolute discretion, obtain Stockholder Approval of such issuance or deliver to such Holder, in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon such Holder’s Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Share Cap, an amount of cash per share equal to the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date (such cash amount, the “Excess Amount”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent required by applicable law, unless and until the expiration or early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act in connection with an Automatic Conversion no Holder shall have the right to acquire shares of Class A Common Stock, and the corporation shall not be required to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to any Holder, pursuant to such Automatic Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, and, in each case, the corporation may (but shall not be required to), at the corporation’s sole and absolute discretion, in lieu of any shares of Class A Common Stock otherwise deliverable to such Holder pursuant to such Automatic Conversion in excess of such Holder’s Individual Holder Conversion Cap, deliver to such Holder an amount of cash per share equal to the VWAP per share of Class A Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date (such cash amount, the “Excess Automatic Conversion Amount”).

(h) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Class A Common Stock will be delivered to the Holders upon conversion of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock. In lieu of fractional shares otherwise issuable to a Holder, such Holder will be entitled to receive one additional whole share of Class A Common Stock. The determination of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered to a Holder upon the conversion of such Holder’s shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock and whether such number of shares would include a fractional share shall be based on the aggregate number of shares of Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock of such Holder that are being converted on the applicable Conversion Date.

SECTION 8. ANTI-DILUTION ADJUSTMENTS.

(a) The Conversion Rate shall be subject to adjustment, without duplication, as set forth in this Section 8. If the corporation, at any time while shares of the Series G Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock are outstanding (i) subdivides the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Class A Common Stock or (ii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Class A Common Stock, then in each such case the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

10

CR1 = CR0 x (OS1 / OS0)

where

Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be effective immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable. If any such event is announced or declared but does not occur, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the corporation announces that such event shall not occur, to the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such event had not been announced or declared. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no adjustment to the Conversion Rate shall be made for any dividend or distribution with respect to Class A Common Stock in connection with which the Holders are entitled to a Dividend pursuant to Section 4.

(b) Calculation of Adjustments. All adjustments to the Conversion Rate shall be calculated by the corporation to the nearest 1/10,000th of one share of Class A Common Stock (or if there is not a nearest 1/10,000th of a share, to the next lower 1/10,000th of a share). No adjustment to the Conversion Rate will be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Conversion Rate; provided, however, that any such adjustment that is not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made will be made upon any Conversion Date.

(c) Successive Adjustments. After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section 8, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 8 shall cause an adjustment to each such Conversion Rate as so adjusted.

(d) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted as provided under this Section 8, the corporation shall as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires such adjustment compute the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate in accordance with this Section 8 and provide a written notice to the Holders advising them of the occurrence of such event and setting forth the adjusted applicable Conversion Rate.

(b) Certificates Following Conversion.
