The ultimate economic interest in Pacific is held by certain members of the Ghermezian family through their direct or indirect ownership of various entities that own Pacific. Mr. Ghermezian is the Manager of Pacific. As such, Mr. Ghermezian may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner with shared voting and dispositive power of the shares of Common Stock that Pacific may be deemed to beneficially own directly. Therefore, Mr. Ghermezian may be deemed to be the indirect beneficial owner with shared voting and dispositive power of 20,345,892 shares of Common Stock, representing in the aggregate 90.0% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The calculation of the foregoing percentages is made on the basis of there being 22,606,476 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 13, 2011, as reported by the Issuer in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. |

Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer |
Item 6 is hereby supplemented as follows: On May 19, 2011, Pacific entered into Letter Agreements with (i) Larry A. Stapp and Frances N. Stapp, (ii) Chris Bosecker and (iii) Ted Bosecker (together with the Shareholders who entered into the Letter Agreements with Pacific on April 21, 2011, May 16, 2011 and May 17, 2011 (the “Prior Letter Agreements”), each, a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”) on the same terms as the Prior Letter Agreements. |
The updated table listing the Shareholders who have entered into Letter Agreements is included below.

The number of Shares subject to the Letter Agreements, when aggregated with the number of Shares Pacific currently holds, represents 90.0% of the outstanding Shares. Accordingly, pursuant to the Letter Agreements, if Pacific were to commence a tender offer involving a purchase price per Share of not less than the Minimum Consideration and having as a mandatory, non-waivable minimum acceptance condition that the number of Shares tendered to Pacific in such tender offer would result in Pacific holding not less than 90% of the issued and outstanding Shares, the holders of the Shares subject to the Letter Agreements would be contractually required to tender such Shares to Pacific. Pacific may therefore be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Shares subject to the Letter Agreements.
Each of the Letter Agreements with (i) Larry A. Stapp and Frances N. Stapp, (ii) Chris Bosecker and (iii) Ted Bosecker is filed herewith as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference thereto.
