Explanatory Note:

The following constitutes Amendment No. 6 ("Amendment") to the joint filing on Schedule 13D by Thomas W. Smith, Scott J. Vassalluzzo, Steven M. Fischer, Idoya Partners and Prescott Associates originally filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 20, 2002, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 12, 2002, Amendment No. 2 filed on October 21, 2004, Amendment No. 3 filed on February 3, 2005, Amendment No. 4 filed on July 11, 2008 and Amendment No. 5 filed on December 12, 2008 (the “Original Schedule 13D").

The Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended as follows:

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

As described more fully in Item 5 below, Messrs. Smith, Vassalluzzo and Fischer beneficially own 1,771,615, 1,620,515 and 1,544,415 shares of Common Stock, respectively, in their capacity as investment managers for Idoya Partners, Prescott Associates and other managed accounts (the "Managed Accounts"). The Managed Accounts consist of investment accounts for: (i) three private investment limited partnerships (including Idoya Partners and Prescott Associates) for which Messrs. Smith, Vassalluzzo and Fischer are each a general partner, (ii) an employee profit-sharing plan of a corporation wholly-owned by Mr. Smith and for which Messrs. Smith and Vassalluzzo are each a trustee, and (iii) certain family members of Messrs Smith and Vassalluzzo and trusts for the benefit of certain family members of Mr. Smith. In addition, Messrs. Smith and Vassalluzzo own 807,500 and 9,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, for their own accounts (collectively, the "Personal Shares"). The 1,782,715 shares of Common Stock owned by the Managed Accounts (the "Managed Account Shares") were acquired by the Reporting Persons on behalf of the Managed Accounts for the purpose of achieving the investment goals of the Managed Accounts. Messrs. Smith and Vassalluzzo acquired the Personal Shares for investment purposes.

Mr. Smith, who has served on the Board of Directors of the Issuer since October 4, 2004, resigned from the Board of Directors effective March 2, 2010.

The Reporting Persons are re-evaluating their position in the Company and expect to engage in open market sales, including sales made pursuant to Rule 144, and to consider other strategic transactions, which could involve a disposition of some or all of their shares. Any actions taken by the Reporting Persons will be dependent upon market conditions, the evaluation of alternative investments and such other factors as may be considered relevant. Based on such factors, the Reporting Persons may also purchase Common Stock from time to time on terms considered desirable by the Reporting Persons. In addition, the Reporting Persons may talk or hold discussions with various parties, including, but not limited to, the Issuer's management, its board of directors, and other shareholders and third parties, for the purpose of developing and implementing strategies to maximize shareholder value, including strategies that may, in the future, result in the occurrence of one or more of the actions or events enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Subject to the foregoing, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any of the actions or events enumerated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
