Item 5.02.         Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Our Board of Directors has adopted a performance based incentive program under the auspices of our Long-Term Incentive Plan.  The objectives of the new program are as follows:

·                  Reward top executives for achievement of long-term financial goals that build enterprise value;

·                  Strengthen the alignment of key executives’ financial interest with those of our stockholders through stock ownership;

·                  Provide a long-term incentive opportunity as part of  a competitive overall compensation package; and

·                  Enhance our ability to retain senior executives.

This new program provides certain executive officers with the opportunity to earn a combination of stock (50%) and cash (50%) if certain three year performance targets for pre-tax net income and pre-tax free cash flow are achieved.  On February 23, 2007, the participating executives became entitled to performance restricted stock based on the stock price at the commencement of the performance cycle ($38.42 per share).  This stock becomes free of restrictions upon the achievement of the performance goals.  In this way, the executive has the opportunity to benefit from any share appreciation during the performance period.  For each three year performance cycle, the maximum potential award is currently $150,000 for our chief executive officer and $60,000 for any of our other participating executive officers, while the target award is currently $100,000 for the chief executive officer and $40,000 for the participating executive officers.  A new three-year performance cycle begins every calendar year.

For the first performance cycle, our chief executive officer, James A. Wilhelm, will receive 1,953 shares of restricted stock; our chief financial officer, G. Marc Baumann, will receive 781 shares of restricted stock; and two of our named executive officers, Steven A. Warshauer and Michael K. Wolf, also will receive 781 shares of restricted stock.  John V. Holten, a named executive officer and our controlling shareholder, will not participate in this program.
