(1) Please note that the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person and the number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person with shared voting power or shared dispositive power in the reporting person’s previous Schedule 13G amendments as of October 14, 2010 and December 31, 2010 were incorrect and omitted 4,278 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Bonnico Limited Partnership. As of October 14, 2010, the aggregate number of shares beneficially owned by the reporting person was 9,809,497 shares, the number of shares with shared voting power was 6,050,098 and the number of shares owned with shared dispositive power was 9,687,383. The correct number of shares as of December 31, 2010 is set forth above.

The number of shares reported above includes (i) 9,663,105 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer which are immediately convertible into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and (ii) 148,333 shares of Class A Common Stock, 15,130 of which are subject to issuance pursuant to options which are exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2010. If shares of Class B Common Stock are transferred to any person other than a “Permitted Transferee” (as defined in the Issuer’s Second Restated Articles of Incorporation), such shares are automatically converted on a share-for-share basis into shares of Class A Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer have the same attributes as shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer except that each share of Class B Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to ten votes on all matters upon which Shareholders have a right to vote and each share of Class A Common Stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote on such matters.

If all the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer were converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, Mr. Welch would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 7.4% of the Class A Common Stock.
