Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Compensatory Arrangement

The Employment Agreement between the Company and Craig F. Maier, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, for the term June 3, 2009 through May 29, 2012 was amended effective as of April 6, 2011, with the approval of the Board of Directors. The Amended Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Maier’s incentive compensation as described in Sections 4(b) and (c) of the Agreement for the third and final fiscal year of the Agreement (beginning June 1, 2011) will be at risk and will not be paid unless it is approved by shareholders at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on October 5, 2011. The Agreement was also amended to provide that, instead of an option to purchase 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, Mr. Maier will now be issued restricted stock on the date of the Annual Shareholder Meeting in the same amount and subject to the same conditions as the restricted stock granted to the non-employee directors on that day.
