On February 8, 2012, Registrant and Fredric M.

(A)           Annual base salary consisting of $590,000; plus

(B)           Deferred stock units (“DSUs”) representing shares equivalent in value to $150,000 (the “Incentive DSUs”), issuable at the end of each year; provided, however, that if the average annual return on invested capital (as defined, “ROIC”) for any year during the Measurement Period is less than 18%, Incentive DSUs issued for that year will be forfeited at the rate of 250 DSUs for each 0.1% that Registrant’s ROIC for that year is below 18%; plus

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

(i)   $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

(ii)   $4,000 for each $0.01 that Registrant’s Adjusted EPS for each year during the Measurement Period exceeds $1.53; plus

(iii)         $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 1.75 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 in the event the aggregate performance-based incentive compensation set forth in this paragraph C exceeds $590,000, such excess will be paid 50% in cash and 50% in DSUs; plus

(D)           Upon expiration of the Measurement Period, Mr. Zinn will be entitled to receive 750 DSUs for each 0.1% that Registrant’s ROIC for the Measurement Period exceeds 18%; provided, however, that the total number of DSUs will not exceed 50,000 (the “ROIC Bonus”); plus,

(E)           During the Measurement Period, Mr. Zinn will be entitled to receive certain of the benefits and perquisites which he has previously received as President and Chief Executive Officer of Registrant, including 401(K) matching contribution, life insurance, disability insurance, and an automobile, the aggregate cost of which for the Measurement Period is estimated to be approximately $35,000 annually; plus
