        <footnote id="F2">On January 29, 2014, Google Inc. declared a stock dividend, as a result of which all holders of record of Class A Common Stock on March 27, 2014 received on April 2, 2014 one share of Class C Capital Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock outstanding (the &quot;Stock Dividend&quot;). These GSUs were previously reported as GSUs entitling the Reporting Person to receive one share of Google Inc.'s Class A Common Stock for each share underlying the GSU as the GSU vests.  As a result of the Stock Dividend, these GSUs were adjusted and each share underlying the GSU now corresponds to one share of Class A Common Stock and one share of Class C Capital Stock.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">This grant vests as follow: 1/16th of the grant will vest on May 25, 2015, and an additional 1/16th will vest quarterly on the 25th day of the month until GSUs are fully vested, subject to continued employment on such vesting dates.</footnote>

This option was previously reported as an option for 181,840 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $612.00 per share, but was adjusted to reflect the Stock Dividend. As a result of adjustment, the option now entitles the Reporting Person to exercise a portion of the option for 181,840 shares of Class C Capital Stock, and the exercise price has been adjusted so that the portion of the option covering Class A Common Stock now has an exercise price of $306.612 and the portion of the option covering Class C Capital Stock has an exercise price of $305.388 per share.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F8">The option provided for vesting as follows: 25% of the option shall vest 12 months after vesting commencement date and 1/48th of shares shall vest each month thereafter until the option is fully vested, subject to continued employment with Google on the applicable vesting dates.</footnote>
