         Indicate by check mark if disclosure of delinquent filer pursuant to
Item 405 of Regulation S-K (ss.229.405 of this chapter) is not contained herein,

         As of March 9, 2001, 9,967,950 shares of the Registrant's Class A
Common Stock and 4,787,131 shares of the Registrant's Class B Common Stock were
outstanding. The aggregate market value of the shares of Common Stock (based
upon the closing sale price of these shares as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market on March 9, 2001) of the Registrant held by nonaffiliates on March 9,
2001 was approximately $256,700,000. This calculation assumes that all shares of
Common Stock beneficially held by executive officers and members of the Board of
Directors of the Registrant are owned by "affiliates," a status which each of
the officers and directors individually may disclaim.

         The Registrant hereby attaches an Exhibit List and amends Exhibit 21 of
its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000 by
replacing it with the attached Exhibit 21.
