            Not Applicable.

 

Item 4. Ownership.

(a) Amount beneficially owned:

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons hold an aggregate of 2,953,413 Shares. Partners holds 1,721,077 Shares; Investors holds 454,391 Shares; Institutional holds 462 Shares; CRK holds 33 Shares; Mr. Lampert holds 770,648 Shares; Tynan holds 4,421 Shares; and Mr. Crowley holds 2,011 Shares directly and 370 Shares through a grantor retained annuity trust of which he is the trustee.

Mr. Lampert is the sole stockholder, chief executive officer and director of Investments. Mr. Crowley is the president and chief operating officer of Investments, a member and manager of Tynan and the chairman of the board of directors of the Issuer. Investments is the general partner of RBS, the sole member of CRK and the manager of RBSIM. RBS is the general partner of Partners and the managing member of Investors. RBSIM is the general partner of Institutional.

Each of Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley entered into a letter agreement with Partners (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”) that restricts the purchases and sales by Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley of the Shares. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreements, Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley generally are required to sell Shares and purchase additional Shares on a pro rata basis with the sales and purchases of Shares made by Partners, and generally must make such sales and purchases on substantially the same terms and conditions as Partners (subject to certain legal, tax, accounting or regulatory considerations). Mr. Lampert and Mr. Crowley are also restricted from certain sales of Shares or purchases of additional Shares except in accordance with the Lock-Up Agreements.

Investments, Mr. Lampert, Mr. Crowley and ACOF I LLC (“ACOF”) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2011 (the


“Stockholders’ Agreement”) that provides for certain rights and obligations with respect to the Issuer’s securities. Pursuant to the Stockholders’ Agreement, Investments, ACOF and their affiliates have consent rights over certain corporate activities, the ability to elect members of the Issuer’s board of directors and demand and piggyback registration rights over the Issuer’s securities. The Stockholders’ Agreement also grants each party a right of first offer on shares proposed to be transferred to a third party that is not a permitted transferee, and, prior to a securities offering of the Issuer or its subsidiaries, ACOF has a preemptive right, which allows it to purchase a pro rata portion of the offered securities under certain circumstances. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides for a standstill period, which prohibits the Issuer, Investments, Mr. Lampert, Mr. Crowley and their affiliates from acquiring the securities of the Issuer or its subsidiaries. Following the standstill period, if either (i) Investments, Mr. Lampert or Mr. Crowley or (ii) ACOF desires to purchase such securities, then they must offer the other party, as applicable, the opportunity to participate up to 50% in such purchase. The Stockholders’ Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K (File No. 001-11679) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 5, 2012.

Given the terms of the Lock-Up Agreements and the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. The Share ownership reported herein by the Reporting Persons does not include any Shares owned by ACOF.

Based upon the foregoing, as of the date hereof, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the number of Shares set forth in Item 9 of such Reporting Person’s cover page hereto. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares not held directly by such Reporting Person.

(b) Percent of class:

Based on the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the Commission on December 22, 2011, there were 6,000,000 Shares outstanding as of December 12, 2011. Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the percentage of outstanding Shares set forth in Item 11 of such Reporting Person’s cover page hereto.
