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

Currently, Mr. Glenn Lyon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Mr. Steven Schneider, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Gary Cohen, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer and Secretary, and Mr. Edward Wilhelm, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, are each parties to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with the Company.

The Company and the officers evaluated amendments to their Employment Agreements. Certain amendments were agreed upon and are reflected in Amendment Number Two for Mr. Lyon, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Cohen and Amendment Number One for Mr. Wilhelm. Those amendments include the following: (i) in addition to certain accrued rights, the officers will now be eligible to receive, upon termination for either disability or death, a bonus earned during the year of termination, prorated for the period the officer is actually employed during that year; and (ii) potential ambiguities with respect to references to calendar and fiscal years were clarified.

Mr. Wilhelm’s Amendment Number One also includes the following amendment: the multiple of base salary upon which the lump sum payment of base salary on termination would be based was adjusted upward by 0.5, so that the multiple in Mr. Wilhelm’s Employment Agreement will now be 1.5 times his base salary, rather than the previous multiple of 1 times.

The Amendment Number Two for each of Mr. Lyon, Mr. Schneider, and Mr. Cohen, and the Amendment Number One for Mr. Wilhelm, were executed on March 14, 2011, and all are attached to this Form 8-K as exhibits.
