From March 2004 until September 2005, Mr. Southwick also served as Vice President of Engineering and Product Development for the Company's National RV subsidiary.

On August 16, 2007, the Board of Directors also granted Mr. Southwick an option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan. The exercise price per share is equal to the fair market value per share on the date the option was granted. The option shall vest and become exercisable at the rate of one-third (1/3) of the shares subject to the option on each anniversary of the date of grant of the option, subject to Mr. Southwick’s continuing service to the Company.

On August 16, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2007 management compensation plan (the “Plan”) for Len Southwick, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer, Thomas Martini, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Jon Corn, the Company’s Vice President and General Counsel. The Plan includes a long-term incentive component through the issuance of option grants. Such grants were reported on Form 4s filed with the Commission on August 20, 2007. The Plan also includes a short-term incentive component which is designed to motivate, retain and reward the Company’s executive officers based on the achievement of specified Company goals. The short-term incentive component takes the form of a cash bonus tied solely to the Company’s 2007 EBITDA results. The potential cash payouts under the Plan for each participant are calculated based upon the formula of base salary multiplied by the individual target bonus, which for 2007 ranges from 30% to 125% for the executive officers. Under the Plan, if 100% of the EBITDA targets are achieved, the Plan would pay out 100% of the individual target bonus for each of the above participants.
