                This Final Amendment to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) supplements, amends and relates to information in the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2007 by the persons filing this Amendment  (the “Original Schedule”), as such Original Schedule was amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Commission on November 14, 2007, Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on November 21, 2007, Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on November 26, 2007, Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on November 29, 2007, and Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D filed with the Commission on December 3, 2007, each by the persons filing this Amendment. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

 

                Item 4 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following information:

                On December 18, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger became effective and Marco was merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation.  Generally, at the effective time of the Merger, (i) each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than shares of Common Stock held by stockholders who may properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) was automatically converted into the right to receive $81.00 in cash, without interest, (ii) the separate existence of Marco ceased and (iii) the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Textron.

                As a result of the Merger, the registration of the Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, will be terminated upon application to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Common Stock is no longer listed on any quotation system or exchange, including the NYSE.

Item 5.
