Explanation of Responses:

(1)  The Reporting Person is one of the eight voting trustees
     (the "Voting Trustees") of the voting trust (the "Management
     Voting Trust") established pursuant to the Management Voting
     Trust Agreement dated as of 12/12/96. The Management Voting
     Trust has the sole right to vote and execute consents with
     respect to all shares of Common Stock and Money Market
     Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share ("MMPS"), held by
     the Management Voting Trust. The voting rights of the
     Management Voting Trust are exercised by the Voting
     Trustees. So long as Young & Rubicam's current Chief
     Executive Officer, Peter A. Georgescu (or a properly
     elected successor Chief Executive Officer), is a Voting
     Trustee, (i) any action approved in writing or at a meeting
     by Peter A. Georgescu (or such successor) and any two other
     Voting Trustees and (ii) any action approved over the
     objection of Peter A. Georgescu (or such successor) at a
     meeting of the Voting Trustees by an aggregate vote of
     Voting Trustees equal to not less than the total number of
     Voting Trustees then in office minus two, shall constitute
     the action of, and shall be binding upon, the Management
     Voting Trust (unless there shall be fewer than seven Voting
     Trustees then in office, in which event any action under
     clause (ii) shall require the vote of all the Voting
     Trustees other than Peter A. Georgescu (or such successor)).
     The Reporting Person disclaims the beneficial ownership of
     the 45,411,870 shares of Common Stock and MMPS held in the
     Management Voting Trust as of 5/11/98, other than securities
     reported in this filing.

     respect to 50% of the shares subject to such options and a 
     term of seven years with respect to the other 50%.

(3)  The above ICP Options will become exercisable with respect
     to 33 1/3% of the shares subject to such options on 12/31/00, 
     with respect to an additional 33 1/3% of such shares on 
     12/31/01, and with respect to the remaining 33 1/3% of 
     such shares on 12/31/02.
