This amendment amends the original Form 8-K filed November 19, 2008 to include the final written agreement referred to therein and to summarize the final compensation and benefits arrangement between Registrant and Fredric M. Zinn, its President and Chief Executive Officer:

In consideration for his services as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Zinn will receive the following compensation for the period 2009 through 2011 (the “Measurement Period”):
 
(A)           Annual base salary consisting of $450,000 in cash and $50,000 in deferred stock units (“DSUs”) or similar tax-deferred equity, issuable each calendar quarter equivalent in value to $12,500; plus
 
(B)           Annually, DSUs representing shares equivalent in value to $200,000 (the “Incentive DSUs”), issuable each calendar quarter equivalent in value to $50,000, subject to forfeiture as set forth in paragraph D; plus

(C)           Performance-based incentive compensation consisting of the following:

(a)    $4,000 for each $0.01 that Registrant’s adjusted earnings per diluted share (“Adjusted EPS”) for each year during the Measurement Period exceed Registrant’s Adjusted EPS for the prior year; plus

(b)    $4,000 for each $0.01 that Registrant’s Adjusted EPS for each year during the Measurement Period exceeds $1.45; plus

(c)    $10,000, plus or minus, for each 1% that the increase or decrease in Registrant’s Adjusted EPS for each year during the Measurement Period is above or below 2.5 times the Index of Number of Industry Units Sold (as defined); provided, however, that the amount added or subtracted will not exceed 0.6% of Registrant’s pre-tax income for the subject year; provided further, however, that for this purpose the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the prior year shall exclude the after-tax impact of any Impairment Charge (as defined) recorded by Registrant for the prior year.
 
(D)           Upon expiration of the Measurement Period, Mr. Zinn shall be entitled to receive 1,000 DSUs for each 0.1% that Registrant’s average annual return on invested capital (as defined, “ROIC”) for the Measurement Period is above the average ROIC of Registrant’s peer group (as defined); provided however, that the total number of DSUs will not exceed 100,000 units (the “ROIC Bonus”); provided further, however, that if the foregoing calculation of DSUs for the Measurement Period results in a negative number, Incentive DSUs issued during the Measurement Period will be forfeited at the rate of 1,000 DSUs for each 0.1% that Registrant’s ROIC for the Measurement Period is below the ROIC of Registrant’s peer group

(E)           During the Measurement Period, Mr. Zinn will be entitled to receive the benefits and perquisites which he has previously received as an Executive Officer of Registrant, including 401(K) matching contribution, the current annual taxable payment in the amount of $24,000 required to be invested in an annuity or cash value life insurance to provide retirement income, life insurance, disability and long-term care insurance, and an automobile, the aggregate cost of which for the Measurement Period is estimated to be approximately $80,000 annually; plus
