Ms. Pepski, age 53, most
recently served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at PNA Holdings, LLC and Katun Corporation, a
privately-held global distribution company. She was responsible for all credit, financial reporting and controls, financial
planning, information technology and treasury functions in that capacity from 2003 to 2007. From 2002 to 2003, Ms. Pepski
served as Vice President of Finance at Hoffman Enclosures, a manufacturing subsidiary of Pentair, Inc. From 2000 to 2001, she
served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at BMC Industries, Inc., a publicly-held global manufacturing company.
From 1994 to 2000, Ms. Pepski was the Vice President and Controller at The Valspar Corporation, a publicly-held global
manufacturing company. From 1993 to 1994, Ms. Pepski was the Vice President of Finance and Administration of the School
Products Group at Jostens, Inc, a consumer products company. From 1986 to 1993, she served in various roles at Noram Energy Corp.,
a publicly-held diversified natural gas company, including Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Arkla Pipeline Group
and Vice President of Finance and Chief Financial Officer of EF Johnson, a subsidiary of Noram Energy Corp., among others.
Ms. Pepski has more than thirty years of accounting and financial management experience, and she holds a Bachelor of Arts

We have offered, and
Ms. Pepski has accepted, certain terms of her employment via an offer letter, dated January 24, 2008. Ms. Pepskis
employment with us will commence on or before March 3, 2008 and will continue at-will until terminated by either the Company or
Ms. Pepski. Her annual base salary will be $205,000, reviewed annually. In addition, we have agreed that Ms. Pepski will
be eligible to participate in our benefit plans according to their terms, including our ESOP and Money Purchase Pension plan and
participation in the incentive bonus plan detailed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 24, 2007. Because March 2008 is the end of one of the six-month bonus periods, she will receive a prorated
amount of her target bonus for that period.
