Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

The Shares held by each of the Reporting Persons were acquired in the ordinary course of business for investment purposes.

Cap 1 entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "SPA") with the Issuer on August 22, 2016. Pursuant to the SPA, Cap 1 agreed to purchase from the Issuer and the Issuer agreed to issue and sell to Cap 1, subject to certain conditions precedent, including approval of such issuance and sale by the stockholders of the Issuer, $20 million of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, per share of the Issuer (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock is initially convertible into 3,179,650 Shares. At the closing of the issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock, Cap 1 is entitled to receive from the Issuer three warrants (the "Warrants"), exercisable for twelve years, to purchase (i) 1,538,462 Shares at $6.50 per Share, (ii) 625,000 Shares at $8.00 per Share and (iii) 555,556 Shares at $9.00 per Share, in each case, subject to adjustments. The Preferred Stock and the Warrants are being offered to Cap 1 in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Pursuant to the SPA, if and so long as Cap 1 beneficially owns, on an as-converted basis, at least 20% of the outstanding  equity securities of the Issuer, subject to satisfaction of reasonable qualification standards and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee approval of the nominee, Cap 1 has the right, but not the obligation, to nominate a director to the Board of Directors of the Company. If Cap 1 exercises its right to designate a director, it shall do so in compliance with the SPA and all applicable laws and regulations.  At the time of entering into the SPA, Cap 1 entered into a Voting Agreement (as defined and discussed in Item 6 below) with the Issuer and certain management stockholders of the Issuer.  The above transactions are described further in the Issuer's Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on September 12, 2016.  This Schedule 13D is being filed in connection with the transactions set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and have discussions with representatives of the Issuer concerning the Issuer's strategy, business and operations.  In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in communications regarding the Issuer with other stockholders of the Issuer, knowledgeable industry or market observers, industry participants, or other persons in respect of the Issuer's strategy, business and operations.

The Reporting Persons may take a number of actions to maximize the value of their investment, including increasing or decreasing the size of their investment in the Issuer, depending upon numerous factors, including, among other things, the price and availability of securities of the Issuer; subsequent developments affecting the Issuer; the Issuer's business and prospects; general stock market and money market and economic conditions; tax considerations; ongoing evaluation of the Issuer's business, financial condition, operations, prospects and strategic alternatives; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; the attitudes and actions of the Board of Directors and management of the Issuer; and other factors deemed relevant.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to exercise any and all of their respective rights as shareholders of the Issuer in a manner consistent with their equity interests, including, without limitation, those matters described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, namely: (i) the acquisition by any person of any additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iii) the sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (iv) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the SPA, and as an inducement to Cap 1 to enter into the SPA, the Company and Timothy D. Boyd, Stephen J. Mueller and Richard K. Deutsch (the "Management Stockholders") entered into a Voting Agreement (the "Voting Agreement"), pursuant to which Cap 1 and the Management Stockholders agreed to vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the SPA. Subject to the affirmative vote of the Issuer's stockholders pursuant to the Proxy Statement, the Voting Agreement also requires the Management Stockholders to:

·	Vote in favor of the election of Cap 1's nominee to the Board of Directors;

·	Vote against the removal of Cap 1's nominee to the Board unless Cap 1 approves or the nominee no longer satisfies the qualifications set forth in the Stockholders' Agreement;

·	Vote in favor of the removal of Cap 1's nominee to the Board if requested by Cap 1; and

·	Vote in favor of any increase in the authorized Shares necessary to ensure that there are sufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.

Cap 1 and the Management Stockholders granted proxies for purposes of ensuring compliance with these voting obligations.  The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the SPA.

Other than as described herein, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons, or between the Reporting Persons and any other person, with respect to the securities of the Issuer.
