This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 20, 2011 (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, all items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged, and, except to the extent such items are inconsistent with the information herein, such items are incorporated herein.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Since the filing of the Schedule 13D, CDP has received, in addition to cash, an aggregate of 139,298 shares of Common Stock through quarterly dividends, on account of its ownership of the Preferred Stock. This Amendment has been filed with the Commission to reflect CDP’s additional ownership in the Common Stock.

(a) All information relating to percentage ownership of the Company’s Common Stock set forth in this Statement is as of the date hereof, based upon the 4,785,472 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company to be issued and outstanding as of March 15, 2012 in its Form 10-K filed with the Commission on March 23, 2012, plus an additional 6,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock for an aggregate total of 10,785,472 shares (the “Issued and Outstanding Shares”).

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 7,805,964 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 72.37% of the Issued and Outstanding Shares. However, Messrs. Payne, Johnson, Rawlings, Bashour, Oakey and Doran, as well as CIC Partners, CIC Fund II, CIC II GP, CDP-ME Holdings, LLC and CDP Management Partners, LLC disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities. Pursuant to the Shareholder and Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy, at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders, DHW Leasing has agreed to vote its shares in the same manner as CDP on any matter presented to the shareholders and has granted an irrevocable proxy to CDP to vote all of the shares of the Company’s common stock which are owned by DHW Leasing.

As a result of the Shareholder and Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy, CDP may be deemed to have shared voting power with the shares of the Company’s Common Stock owned by DHW Leasing. Accordingly, CDP is reporting as a member of a group with DHW Leasing. Currently, DHW Leasing beneficially owns 1,666,666 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 15.45% of the Issued and Outstanding Shares.

(b) The Reporting Persons have shared dispositive power over the 6,139,398 shares of Common Stock, and DHW Leasing has dispositive power over its 1,666,666 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Shareholder and Voting Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy, the Reporting Persons have shared voting power over the 1,666,666 shares of Common Stock owned by DHW Leasing, and therefore have shared voting power over 7,805,964 shares of Common Stock.

(c) Except for the acquisition of Common Stock through dividends payable on account of ownership of the Preferred Stock, no person identified in Item 2 has effected any transaction in shares of such Common Stock during the 60 days preceding the date of this filing.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.
