Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Each share of Phantom Stock is the economic equivalent of one share of non-voting common stock. The shares of Phantom Stock become payable in cash at the earlier of the second anniversary of the grant date or the date of the non-employee director's termination.
(2)	On November 3, 2008 a Phantom Stock Award was granted. The Phantom Stock Award is a formula grant with an equivalent value of $50,000, with the number of units of Phantom Stock actually awarded based on the FMV of a share of Company Non-Voting Stock on the grant date. On November 3, 2008 the FMV was $21.99 which calculated to 2,273 shares. On this date only 2,200 shares were reported. This amendment reflects the Phantom Stock Grant with an additional 73 shares to correct the original award.
(3)	These options vest over a 4 year period at 25% per year.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.

Potential persons who are to respond to the collection of information contained in this form are not required to respond unless the form displays a currently valid OMB number.
