Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Amendment No. 10 does not modify any of the information previously reported by the Reporting Persons in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
| (a) | This statement is being filed by Matthew T. Moroun and Edwin J. Lukas (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). In connection with his recent retirement, Mr. Hal M. Briand resigned as a co-trustee of the Moroun Trust and Mr. Edwin J. Lukas was appointed a co-trustee of the Moroun Trust as successor to Mr. Briand. |
| (b) | The business address for each of the Reporting Persons is 12225 Stephens Road, Warren, Michigan 48089. |
| (c) | Matthew T. Moroun is the Chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer. Matthew T.

| (d)+(e) | During the last five years, neither of the Reporting Persons has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and neither has been a party to a civil proceeding of any judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to such laws. |
| (f) | Each of the Reporting Persons is a citizen of the United States of America. |
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following paragraph after the last paragraph thereof:
Pursuant to the Issuer’s modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer which expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 7, 2018, the Issuer purchased 185,597 shares of its Common Stock (approximately 3.0% of its outstanding shares of Common Stock). No shares of Common Stock were tendered by the Reporting Persons in connection with this tender offer. On March 31, 2018, Mr. Moroun received 276 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer as part of the Issuer’s annual retainer for non-employee directors. Additionally, on June 27, 2018, the Moroun Trust transferred 100,000 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock to Mr. Moroun, and on February 23, 2018, Mr. Moroun purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock from the Issuer upon exercise of outstanding stock options, using personal funds. The shares transferred by the Moroun Trust to Mr. Moroun and the stock options exercised by Mr. Moroun were included in Mr. Moroun’s beneficial ownership as previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Therefore, the increase in the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by Matthew T. Moroun since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to this Schedule 13D is due to Mr. Moroun’s receipt of shares of Common Stock as part of his annual retainer as a non-employee director of the Issuer and to a decrease in the Issuer’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock. The decrease in the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by the co-trustee of the Moroun Trust (formerly Hal M. Briand and currently Edwin J. Lukas) since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to this Schedule 13D is due to the transfer by the Moroun Trust of shares of Common Stock to Mr. Moroun, partially offset by the decrease in the Issuer’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following paragraph after the last paragraph thereof:
Since the filing of Amendment No. 9 to this Schedule 13D, 100,000 shares of Common Stock were transferred by the Moroun Trust to Mr. Moroun, 276 shares of Common Stock were awarded to Mr. Moroun as part of an annual retainer for non-employee directors and Mr. Moroun purchased 5,000 shares of Common Stock by exercising stock options. The stock option exercise was effectuated for investment purposes, using personal funds. The Moroun Trust may in the future from time to time make similar transfers of shares of Common Stock to Mr. Moroun.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
| (a) | Mr. Moroun beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,904,560 shares, or 64.8%, of the outstanding Common Stock. Of the 3,904,560 shares beneficially owned by Mr. Moroun, 912,560 shares are owned directly by Mr. Moroun and 2,992,000 shares are held of record by the Moroun Trust, of which Mr. Moroun is a beneficiary and, together with Mr. Lukas, a co-trustee. Mr. Lukas beneficially owns an aggregate of 2,992,000 shares, or 49.6%, of the outstanding Common Stock, which shares are held of record by the Moroun Trust, of which Mr. Lukas, together with Mr. Moroun, is a co-trustee. The percentage of the outstanding shares of Common Stock owned by each Reporting Person is based on 6,026,807 shares of Common Stock outstanding, as reported in Exhibit (a)(1)(H) to the Issuer’s Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO-I/A filed with the Commission on June 12, 2018. |
| (b) | Mr. Moroun has sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of 912,560 shares of Common Stock. Mr. Moroun and Mr. Lukas share the power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or direct the disposition of 2,992,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Moroun Trust. |
