BOX 73909 CEDAR RAPIDS IA 52407-3909 0 1 0 0 Executive Vice President Common Stock 2013-03-15 4 J 0 3573 26.12 D 220468 I By self as co-trustee of Issuer's employee stock ownership plan Common Stock 2257 I By 401(k) plan for self Common Stock 12429 D This transaction represents a distribution of shares from the Issuer's Employee Stock Ownership Plan to someone other than the Reporting Person. The price per share is the closing price of the Issuer's common stock on the date of the reported transaction. The Reporting Person serves as co-trustee of this employee benefit plan and disclaims beneficial ownership of any Issuer securities held by this plan that are not allocated for his individual benefit, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or for any other purpose. Currently only 1,824 shares held in this plan are allocated specifically for the Reporting Person's individual benefit. The number of securities shown as being held in or acquired by the Issuer's 401(k) account for the Reporting Persons' benefit are the approximate number of shares of common stock (excluding fractionals) for which the Reporting Person has the right to direct the vote under the Issuer's 401(k) plan. Such shares are not directly allocated to 401(k) plan participants, but are instead held in a unitized fund consisting primarily of Issuer common stock, together with a small percentage of short-term investments. 401(k) Plan participants acquire units of this fund. The total number of securities beneficially held directly by the Reporting Person following the reported transaction includes: 2,313 shares of resticted stock issued under the Issuer's 2008 Stock Plan which vest, subject to certain conditions, on 05/21/2013; 3,894 shares of restricted stock issued under the Issuer's 2008 Stock Plan which vest, subject to certain conditions, on 02/18/2016; 2,850 shares of resticted stock issued under the Issuer's 2008 Stock Plan which vest, subject to certain conditions, on 02/15/2018; and 3,372 shares held by the Reporting Person individually. This amended filing is being made to correct an error in the original report. The transaction in the employee stock ownership plan were mistakenly reported as "A" acquired, instead of "D" disposed of in Column 4 of Table I of the original filing. /s/ Michael T.
