     Items 5(a), (b) and (c) are amended and supplemented as follows:
     (a) According to the most recently available filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Hawk, and taking into account the sale of the 25,000 shares of Common Stock by Mr. Harbert to Hawk, there are currently 7,949,937 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Mr. Harbert beneficially owns 1,096,604 shares of Common Stock, including 2,179 shares held in his 401(k) plan, 1,000,511 shares held by the HFLP and 35,000 shares held by the Foundation, or 13.8% of the outstanding Common Stock. The HFLP beneficially owns 1,000,511 shares of Common Stock, or 12.6% of the outstanding Common Stock. The Foundation beneficially owns 35,000 shares of Common Stock, or 0.44% of the outstanding Common Stock. Mr. Weinberg beneficially owns 1,409,965 shares of Common Stock, including 1,083,153 shares held by the WFLP and a currently exercisable option to purchase 135,967 shares of Common Stock, or 17.4% of the outstanding Common Stock, assuming exercise of the option held by Mr. Weinberg.

     (b) Mr. Harbert, as chairman of the board of trustees of the Foundation, has shared power to vote, or to direct the voting of, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, the shares of Common Stock owned by the Foundation.

     (c) On March 16, 2010, Mr. Harbert exercised an option expiring on October 5, 2011 to purchase 107,192 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.74 per share. Pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated March 16, 2010, Mr. Harbert sold an aggregate of 132,192 shares of Common Stock, including the shares acquired pursuant to the option exercise, to Hawk in a private transaction at a price of $20.08 per share, which represented a discount to the market price of the Common Stock at the time the price was negotiated between Mr. Harbert and an agent representing Hawk. Mr. Harbert sold the shares for estate planning purposes and in consideration of the ordinary income tax triggered by the exercise of the option. The transaction closed on March 19, 2010.
     None of the other Reporting Persons have effected any other transactions in the Common Stock in the past sixty days.
