Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Reporting Persons acquired shares of the Common Stock based on their belief that the Common Stock represents an attractive investment opportunity. The Reporting Persons further believe that the Issuer would be better able to realize its full value as a private entity. It is the Reporting Persons’ intent to acquire the Company. Accordingly, in a letter dated September 21, 2012, attached hereto as Exhibit 8, the Mill Road Fund submitted an offer to acquire all outstanding shares of the Issuer that it does not own.

On November 9, 2012, the Mill Road Fund entered into the Voting Agreement with the Lane Five Fund, the Lane Five Advisor and the Pleiades Fund, pursuant to which the Lane Five Fund, the Lane Five Advisor and the Pleiades Fund agreed to take certain actions, and to refrain from taking certain other actions, to support the Mill Road Fund’s intended acquisition of the Issuer, as more fully described in Item 6 below. The Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

On February 4, 2013, the Mill Road Fund sent the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 9 to a special committee of the Issuer’s board of directors, reiterating its offer from September 2012 to acquire all outstanding shares of the Issuer that it does not own at price equal to $5.80 per share.

On March 8, 2013, the Mill Road Fund and the Lane Five Advisor sent the letter attached hereto as Exhibit 10 to the nominating and corporate governance committee of the Issuer’s board of directors. The letter proposes Ms. Rapuano and Stephen Quattrociocchi for the committee’s consideration as nominees for election to the Issuer’s board of directors at the 2013 annual meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders.

The Novation Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 6 and incorporated by reference into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons intend to review continuously their equity interest in the Issuer. Depending upon their evaluation of the factors described below and subject to the Voting Agreement, as modified by the Novation Agreement, one or more of the Reporting Persons may from time to time purchase additional securities of the Issuer, dispose of all or a portion of the securities then held by such Reporting Persons, or cease buying or selling such securities; any such additional purchases or sales of securities of the Issuer may be in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

The Reporting Persons may wish to engage in a constructive dialogue with officers, directors and other representatives of the Issuer, as well as the Issuer’s shareholders; topics of discussion may include, but are not limited to, the Issuer’s markets, operations, competitors, prospects, strategy, personnel, directors, ownership and capitalization. The Reporting Persons may also enter into confidentiality or similar agreements with the Issuer and, subject to such an agreement or otherwise, exchange information with the Issuer. The factors that the Reporting Persons may consider in evaluating their equity interest in the Issuer’s business include the following: (i) the Issuer’s business and prospects; (ii) the performance of the Common Stock and the availability of the Common Stock for purchase at particular price levels; (iii) the availability and nature of opportunities to dispose of the Reporting Persons’ interests; (iv) general economic conditions; (v) stock market conditions; (vi) other business and investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons; and (vii) other plans and requirements of the Reporting Persons.

Depending on their assessment of the foregoing factors, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, modify their present intention as stated in this Item 4.

Except as set forth above, the Reporting Persons intend to continuously review their options but do not have at this time any specific plans that would result in (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; (b) any extraordinary corporate transactions such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) any sale or transfer of a material amount of the assets of the Issuer or of any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present management or Board of Directors of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the Issuer’s Board of Directors; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; (f) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (g) any change in the Issuer’s charter or by-laws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; (h) the Common Stock being delisted from a national securities exchange or ceasing to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system
