LLC (collectively, the "Agents"). Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell shares of the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from time to time through the Agents, as the Company's sales agents for the offer and sale of the shares, up to an aggregate sales price of $200,000,000.

No sales will be made in Canada or on the Toronto Stock Exchange or any other market in Canada. The shares will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-199217) which became effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States on October 8, 2014.

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company also may sell shares of its Class A common stock to any of the Agents, as principal for its own account, at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If the Company agrees to sell shares to any Agent as principal, it will enter into a separate terms agreement with such Agent, and will describe such agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus.

The shares that may be issued by the Company under the ATM program have been approved for listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market and conditionally approved for listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange. In obtaining Toronto Stock Exchange listing approval, the Company has relied on the "Eligible Interlisted Issuer" exemption from TSX rules under section 602.1 of the TSX Company Manual.
