                                  Page 3 of 10

               The Neue Galerie New York; and (iv) 3,182 shares of Class A
               Common Stock and the 3,182 shares of Class B Common Stock held
               indirectly as the sole trustee of The Descendants of Ronald S.
               Lauder 1966 Trust. The shares owned by The Jewish Renaissance
               Foundation and The Neue Galerie New York are not covered by the
               Stockholders' Agreement (as defined below).

               At December 31, 2005, the Reporting Person had a short position
               of 894,986 shares of Class A Common Stock. The 13,928,019 shares
               of Class B Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person
               include shares pledged as collateral in amounts equal to the
               following loans: (i) 500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
               borrowed from Richard D. Parsons, as trustee of the Trusts f/b/o
               Aerin Lauder and Jane Lauder u/a/d December 15, 1976 created by
               Estee Lauder and Joseph H. Lauder, as Grantors (the "Accumulation
               Trusts"); and (ii) 394,986 shares of Class A Common Stock
               borrowed from Leonard A. Lauder. All other shares of Class B
               Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person are pledged to
               Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan") as
               collateral for a credit facility.

          (b)  Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at the option
               of the holder into one share of Class A Common Stock and is
               automatically converted into one share of Class A Common Stock
               upon transfer to a person who is not a Permitted Transferee, as
               that term is defined in the Issuer's Certificate of
               Incorporation. Assuming conversion of all such shares of Class B
               Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, the
               Reporting Person would beneficially own 15,336,176 shares of
               Class A Common Stock, which would constitute 10.8% of the number
               of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.

               Each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder to one
               vote on each matter submitted to a vote of the Issuer's
               stockholders and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the
               holder to ten votes on each such matter, including the election
               of directors of the Issuer. Assuming no conversion of any of the
               outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, the 1,364,755 shares
               of Class A Common Stock and the 13,971,421 shares of Class B
               Common Stock for which the Reporting Person has voting power
               constitute 14.3% of the aggregate voting power of the Issuer.

          (c) (i) The Reporting Person has sole voting power with respect to
               the 14,991,936 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows: (i)
               57,553 shares of Class A Common Stock and 13,928,019 shares of
               Class B Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person; (ii)
               3,182 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,182 shares of Class B
               Common Stock held indirectly as the sole trustee of The
               Descendants of Ronald S. Lauder 1966 Trust; and (iii) 1,000,000
               shares of Class A Common Stock subject to exercisable employee
               stock options held by the Reporting Person.

               director of The Neue Galerie New York.
