(1) Represents 4,231,285 shares of Class B common stock (which are
convertible into the same number of shares of Class A common stock at
the option of the holder at any time) directly held by Mr. Butterfield.
Such number of shares of Class B common stock reflects a distribution by
the Grantor Retained Annuity Trust discussed in footnote (2) below of
38,035 shares of Class B common stock to Mr. Butterfield during 2004.
Each share of Class A common stock has one vote and each share of Class
B common stock has ten votes on all matters to be voted upon by the
issuer's shareholders.
(2) This amount includes 561,965 shares of Class B common stock (which
is convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at the
option of the holder at any time) held in a Grantor Retained Annuity
Trust on behalf of Mr. Butterfield, which reflects a distribution by the
Trust of 38,035 shares of Class B common stock to Mr. Butterfield during
2004. This amount also includes 1,586,691 shares of Class B common
stock owned by Union Financial Services, Inc., of which Mr. Butterfield
is a director and president and owns 50.0% of the outstanding voting
stock. Mr. Butterfield disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
owned by Union Financial Services, Inc., except to the extent of his
pecuniary interest therein. This amendment is filed solely to reflect
the changes in the respective numbers of shares beneficially owned as a
result of the distribution of 38,035 shares of Class B common stock from
the Grantor Retained Annuity Trust to Mr. Butterfield during 2004.
There was no change in the aggregate amount of shares beneficially owned
by Mr. Butterfield.
(3) All amounts are as of February 15, 2005, which was the date used to
compute beneficial ownership for purposes of disclosure in the issuer's
proxy statement dated April 25, 2005 for its 2005 annual meeting of
shareholders. Such amounts include changes as of December 31, 2004 in
the amounts reported in the reporting person's previous filing on this
Schedule.
