Item 3.                          Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

None of TCM, TM or TAA directly owns any shares of Common Stock.  Except as set forth in Item 4, the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Reporting Persons were purchased with working capital and on margin.  The Reporting Persons’ margin transactions are with UBS Securities LLC, on such firm’s usual terms and conditions.  All or part of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by the Reporting Persons may from time to time be pledged with one or more banking institutions or brokerage firms as collateral for loans made by such bank(s) or brokerage firm(s) to the Reporting Persons.  Such loans bear interest at a rate based upon the broker’s call rate from time to time in effect.  Such indebtedness may be refinanced with other banks or broker dealers.

Item 4.                          Purpose of Transaction

On July 7, 2014, the Company issued pro rata, at no charge, to each holder of shares of Common Stock as of such date, the record date for the rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), one non-transferable subscription right for each share of Common Stock owned by such holder on such date. Each subscription right entitled the holder thereof to purchase 0.214578135 shares of Common Stock at a subscription price of $5.20 per share. Additionally, each holder who elected to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock available pursuant to its basic subscription rights was eligible to elect to subscribe for a portion of any shares of Common Stock that were not purchased by other stockholders through the exercise of their basic subscription rights, provided that the number of over-subscription shares each holder could elect to purchase could not exceed 100% of the number of shares of Common Stock that such holder subscribed for pursuant to its basic subscription rights. On August 7, 2014 the Company finalized share allocations related to the Rights Offering, and the Reporting Persons acquired 2,576,449 shares of Common Stock pursuant to its election to exercise its basic subscription rights and over-subscription privileges. The number of shares of Common Stock acquired by each Reporting Person is set forth in Item 5.

The Reporting Persons acquired their shares of Common Stock for investment purposes and in the ordinary course of business.  All of the Reporting Persons may dispose of securities of the Company at any time and from time to time in the open market, through dispositions in kind to parties holding an ownership interest in TCP, TP, TOA and/or TCP 2, or otherwise.  In addition, the Reporting Persons may obtain securities of the Company through open market purchases, transfers from other Reporting Persons or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons own approximately 61.4% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock and can control the Company’s affairs, including (i) the election of directors who in turn appoint management, (ii) any action requiring the approval of the holders of Common Stock, including adoption of amendments to the Company’s corporate charter, and (iii) approval of a merger or sale of all or substantially all assets. The Reporting Persons can also control certain decisions affecting the Company’s capital structure.

James M. Lindstrom has served as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company since October 2011 and has served as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors since February 2011. Mr. Lindstrom previously served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President on an interim basis since June 2011.  Mr. Lindstrom was an employee of an affiliate of the Reporting Persons from 2006 until October 2011.  Further, David B. Gendell, the brother of Jeffrey L. Gendell and an employee of an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, has served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors since February 2012.  While serving in such capacities, each of Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. Gendell may have the ability to affect the composition of the Company’s management and influence the business operations of the Company or extraordinary transactions outside the normal course of the Company’s business.  If the Reporting Persons dispose of all or a portion of their holdings in the Company, they may not retain sufficient voting power to cause Mr. Lindstrom and Mr. Gendell to continue to be directors.

Although the foregoing represents the range of activities presently contemplated by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company, it should be noted that the possible activities of the Reporting Persons are subject to change at any time.  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or intentions and to take any and all actions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any current intention, plan or proposal with respect to: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present Board of Directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a

11

national securities exchange, if any, or cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Act, or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated in items (a) through (i) above.
