                    INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT


Item 1.01.        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

         On July 21, 2005 the Registrant entered into the Second Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement dated as of July 18, 2005 with Harvey B.
Grossblatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant (the
"Amended Agreement"). Prior to entering into the Amended Agreement, the terms of
Mr. Grossblatt's employment had not been modified since he was appointed Chief
Executive Officer following the passing of Stephen C. Knepper in August 2004.

         The Amended Agreement provides that Mr. Grossblatt is employed for a
term ending July 31, 2008 at an initial base annual salary of $300,000,
increasing to $325,000 on August 1, 2006, and to $350,000 on August 1, 2007. The
Amended Agreement did not change the calculation of Mr. Grossblatt's bonus
compensation or materially change the terms of Mr. Grossblatt's benefits.

         If the term of the Amended Agreement is not renewed by the Registrant
or is terminated by Mr. Grossblatt for good reason, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled
to receive his compensation through any balance of the employment term plus a
lump sum payment equal to his last 12 months base salary and bonus, health
benefits for three years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on each of
the first three anniversaries of the termination equal to the 401(k) plan
contribution the Registrant would have made on behalf of the Registrant had he
remained employed by the Registrant.

         If Mr. Grossblatt's employment is terminated following or in
anticipation of a "change of control" of the Registrant, Mr. Grossblatt will be
entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary for the balance
of the Amended Agreement's term and the amount of Mr. Grossblatt's last bonus.
In addition, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to receive health benefits for three
years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on the anniversary of the
termination equal to the 401(k) plan contribution the Registrant would have made
on behalf of the Registrant had he remained employed by the Registrant.
Furthermore, Mr. Grossblatt will receive an amount equal to three times his base
salary for the last 12 months and the amount of his last bonus, limited to 2.99
times Mr. Grossblatt's average annual taxable compensation from the Company
which is included in his gross income for the five taxable years of the Company
ending before the date on which the change of control occurs.

         If the Amended Agreement is terminated by the Registrant due to Mr.
Grossblatt's death, Mr. Grossblatt's estate is entitled to receive a lump sum
payment equal to his base salary for the greater of the balance of the Amended
Agreement's term or one year, reduced by any individual life insurance benefits
the premiums for which are paid for by the Registrant, plus the amount of his
last bonus and the amount of the Registrant's last 401(k) plan contribution made
on behalf of Mr. Grossblatt. In addition, Mr. Grossblatt's estate is entitled to
the health insurance and medical reimbursement benefits for the longer of the
balance of the term or three years following the date of death, or the cash
equivalent thereof.

         If the Amended Agreement is terminated by the Registrant due to Mr.
Grossblatt's disability, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to the continuation of the
payment of his base salary for the balance of the term, reduced by any group or
individual disability income insurance benefits the premiums for which are paid
for by the Registrant and Social Security disability benefits paid to Mr.
Grossblatt. In addition, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to the health insurance and
medical reimbursement benefits and a payment equal to the 401(k) plan
contribution the Registrant would have made on behalf of the Registrant had he
remained employed by the Registrant, for the longer of the balance of the term
or three years following the date of disability, or the cash equivalent thereof.

INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT

Item 1.01.        Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

         On July 21, 2005 the Registrant entered into the Second Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement dated as of July 18, 2005 with Harvey B.
Grossblatt, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant (the
"Amended Agreement"). Prior to entering into the Amended Agreement, the terms of
Mr. Grossblatt's employment had not been modified since he was appointed Chief
Executive Officer following the passing of Stephen C. Knepper in August 2004.

         The Amended Agreement provides that Mr. Grossblatt is employed for a
term ending July 31, 2008 at an initial base annual salary of $300,000,
increasing to $325,000 on August 1, 2006, and to $350,000 on August 1, 2007. The
Amended Agreement did not change the calculation of Mr. Grossblatt's bonus
compensation or materially change the terms of Mr. Grossblatt's benefits.

         If the term of the Amended Agreement is not renewed by the Registrant
or is terminated by Mr. Grossblatt for good reason, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled
to receive his compensation through any balance of the employment term plus a
lump sum payment equal to his last 12 months base salary and bonus, health
benefits for three years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on each of
the first three anniversaries of the termination equal to the 401(k) plan
contribution the Registrant would have made on behalf of the Registrant had he
remained employed by the Registrant.

         If Mr. Grossblatt's employment is terminated following or in
anticipation of a "change of control" of the Registrant, Mr. Grossblatt will be
entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to his base salary for the balance
of the Amended Agreement's term and the amount of Mr. Grossblatt's last bonus.
In addition, Mr. Grossblatt is entitled to receive health benefits for three
years, and an additional lump sum payment payable on the anniversary of the

which is included in his gross income for the five taxable years of the Company
ending before the date on which the change of control occurs.

         If the Amended Agreement is terminated by the Registrant due to Mr.
Grossblatt's death, Mr. Grossblatt's estate is entitled to receive a lump sum
payment equal to his base salary for the greater of the balance of the Amended
Agreement's term or one year, reduced by any individual life insurance benefits
