This Amendment is filed on behalf of the Alfred I. DuPont Testamentary Trust (the “Trust”), Hugh M. Durden, John S. Lord, Herbert H. Peyton, John F. Porter, III, William T. Thompson, III, and Winfred L. Thornton (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

The Trust’s business address is 4600 Touchton Road, East Building 200, Suite 500, Jacksonville, FL 32246. The Trust was established under the Last Will and Testament of Alfred I. duPont.

The Trustees of the Trust are Messrs. Durden, Lord, Peyton, Porter, Thompson and Thornton (collectively, the “Trustees”). By virtue of their status as trustees, the Trustees have the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the shares of the Issuer owned by the Trust. Messrs. Durden and Lord are also directors of the Issuer.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). In addition, during the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons have been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

All of the individuals that are Reporting Persons are citizens of the United States of America.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired the Common Stock of the Issuer reported herein for investment purposes. Although the Reporting Persons intend to exercise their rights as a significant stockholder, the Reporting Persons currently do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (e) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (f) changes in the Issuer’s articles of incorporation, constitution, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (g) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to

be deleted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (h) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (i) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. The Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals which relate to or result in any change in the officers of the Issuer. Presently, Messrs. Durden and Lord are directors on the Issuer’s Board of Directors which has nine members and the Reporting Persons do not have any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors.

The Trust may from time to time sell additional shares to diversify its portfolio; however, the Trust’s present intention is to continue to be a substantial holder of shares of Common Stock for the indefinite future, subject to the reevaluation of this intent as a result of changes in market or general economic conditions or other considerations.

As stated in Item 2, Messrs. Durden and Lord are directors of the Issuer and by serving in that capacity may explore actions and transactions that may be advantageous to the Issuer, including but not limited to possible mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations or other material changes in the business, corporate structure, management, policies, governing instruments, capitalization, securities or regulatory or reporting obligations of the Issuer. However, Messrs. Durden and Lord do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions listed in (a) through (i) above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) As of the close of business on the date hereof, the Trust beneficially owned 4,689,355 shares of the Common Stock, which represented 6.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

Thornton has beneficial ownership over 4,971 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, Herbert H. Peyton has beneficial ownership over 3,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and William T. Thompson, III has beneficial ownership over 37,950 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer. In addition, as of such date, John S. Lord beneficially owns 19,886 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer including 16,516 shares which Mr. Lord has the right to purchase through the exercise of options which are vested or will vest within 60 days following the date hereof and 1,500 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable to each of the Issuer’s outside directors in May 2005. In addition, as of such date, Hugh M. Durden beneficially owns 14,189 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer including 10,667 shares which Mr. Durden has

the right to purchase through the exercise of options which are vested or will vest within 60 days following the date hereof and 1,500 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer issuable to each of the Issuer’s outside directors in May 2005. The number of shares owned by each of the foregoing individuals individually and in the aggregate represented less than 1% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

(b) By virtue of their status as trustees of the Trust, the Trustees have the power to vote or direct the vote and the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the 4,689,355 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by the Trust. Mr. Thornton has the sole power to vote and dispose of the 4,971 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which he owns.
