Reference is hereby made to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2007 (the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of the Company.  Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons hereby amend and supplement the Schedule 13D as follows.
 
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
 (a)
The Partnership and West Wesley Associates, LLC do not currently plan to acquire future shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock other than shares that may be acquired through additional contributions to the Partnership by its partners or to West Wesley Associates, LLC by its members. The Partnership may accept additional partners who may contribute additional shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, and West Wesley Associates, LLC may accept additional members. The Reporting Persons are parties to a Class A Shareholders Agreement that imposes certain transfer restrictions upon shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons. See Item 6.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
(a)
The Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate 670,577 shares or 22.3% of the Class A Common Stock of the Company. For further information, see the cover pages hereto which are hereby incorporated by reference. All percentages of outstanding Class A Common Stock are calculated based on information included in the Form 10-Q filed by the Company for the period ended March 31, 2012, which reported that 3,029,183 shares of Class A Common Stock were outstanding as of May 7, 2012, less the number of shares converted into common stock since May 7, 2012 by the Reporting Persons as shown on Schedule 1.
 
 
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group pursuant to Rule 13d-5(b) with certain other Class A Common Stock shareholders (“Other Class A Shareholders”) as a result of entering into a Class A Shareholders Agreement with those Other Shareholders as described in Item 6 below. If the Reporting Persons are deemed to have formed a group with the Other Class A Shareholders, each of the Reporting Persons could be deemed to beneficially own the shares collectively held by the group, which would be an aggregate 1,955,777 shares or 65.0% of Class A Common Stock of the Company; however, each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares held by other members of the group except as expressly set forth herein.
 
 (b)
The Partnership beneficially owns 603,497 shares or 20.1% of the Class A Common Stock of the Company. West Wesley Associates, LLC is the general partner of the Partnership and holds shared voting and dispositive power with the Partnership with respect to the shares owned by the Partnership.
 
 
Mr. Smith beneficially owns 670,577 shares or 22.3% of the Class A Common Stock of the Company. Mr. Smith has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 65,130 shares of Class A Common Stock. Mr. Smith shares voting and dispositive power with respect to 1,950 shares of Class A Common Stock with his wife, Lamar Smith. As the manager of West Wesley Associates, LLC, the Partnership’s general partner, Mr. Smith shares with the partnership and its general partner voting and dispositive power with respect to the 603,497 shares of Class A Common Stock held by the partnership.

(the “Class A Shareholders Agreement”).

A copy of the Class A Shareholders Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 8, 2012 and is incorporated by reference herein.  The foregoing description of the Class A Shareholders Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Class A Shareholders Agreement.
