Explanation of Responses:	
1. The units of limited partnership interest in AllianceBernstein L.P. ("Units") are exchangable for units representing assignments of beneficial ownership of limited partnership interests in AllianceBernstein Holding ("Holding Units") upon the satisfaction of a number of conditions, including: (i) the issuance of Holding Units must be exempt from registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. ("Holding") must have received any necessary representations, opinions or other documentation in connection with such issuance; (ii) the issuance of the Holding Units must be permissible under the terms of the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Holding, dated as October 29, 1999; (iii) AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company ("AXA Equitable") must consent to the transfer of the Units to Holding (which AXA Financial, Inc. ("AXA Financial"), AXA Equitable's indirect parent, has agreed to cause AXA Equitable to do); and (iv) SCB Inc. ("SCB") must provide an outside legal opinion, reasonably satisfactory to AllianceBernstein ("AllianceBernstein"), stating that the exchange of Units for Holding Units constitutes a "block transfer" under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. As of the date hereof, the status of these conditions and their ability to be satisfied at the time of any exchange is not certain. Prior to such exchange, the Reporting Person is not entitled to any rights as a unit holder of Holding. In addition, the number of Holding Units into which the Units are exchangable is subject to adjustment for anti-dilution.	
2. On February 8, 2007, SCB and SCB Partners Inc. ("Partners") delivered an exercise notice to AXA Financial informing AXA Financial of Partners' intention to require AXA Financial (or its designee) to purchase 8,160,000 Units from Partners in accordance with the terms of a purchase agreement, dated as of June 20, 2000 ("Purchase Agreement"), among AXA Financial, AllianceBernstein and SCB. Such purchase was consummated on February 23, 2007. The purchase price for each Unit sold to AXA Financial pursuant to the Purchase Agreement was determined by averaging the closing prices of a Holding Unit as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape for the 10 trading days ending on the fifth trading day following February 8, 2007.	
3. Reporting Person, by virtue of his affiliation with SCB and Partners, may be deemed to own beneficially and indirectly 8,160,000 Units. Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. Reporting Person discliams beneficial ownership of the Holding Units that he is entitled to receive upon exchange of the Units because of the uncertainties described in note 1. Upon such exchange, however, Reporting Person would be deemed to own beneficially and indirectly any such Holding Units into which Units were exchanged. Reporting Person would disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.
