Class A Common Stock (par value $.10 per share)		250,000		$6.42		$1,605,000		$49.27

(1)    Issuable upon exercise of options and the issuance of restricted stock not yet granted under Registrant’s Amended and Restated 2004 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  Pursuant to Rule 416 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this Registration Statement also covers such indeterminable number of additional shares as may become deliverable due to future adjustments under terms of the Plan.  600,000 shares under the Registrant’s initial 2004 Stock Option Plan were registered effective August 26, 2004 (Registration File No. 333-118584).

This Registration Statement shall be deemed to cover securities resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, or similar transactions as provided in Rule 416(c) of the Securities Act.  Pursuant thereto, this Registration Statement also covers an indeterminate amount of interests to be offered or sold pursuant to the stock awards plan described herein.

Item 9.        Undertakings.

(a)                                  The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the  Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
