Item 4.     Purpose of the Transaction

The Reporting Person acquired the shares of Common Stock reported herein for investment. The shares were purchased pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated as of March 24, 2014 (the Securities Purchase Agreement”), between the Reporting Person and the Company. In the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Reporting Person Agreed to purchase from the Company, and the Company agreed to sell to the Reporting Person, for $1.00 per share, the lesser of (i) 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock, (ii) if the Company conducts a rights offering, all shares of Common Stock not purchased by stockholders exercising their basic subscription rights, and (iii) the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to the Reporting Person without causing an “ownership change” under Section 382(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The Securities Purchase Agreement requires that, within ten business days, the Company and the Reporting Person complete the sale of 875,000 shares of Common Stock to the Reporting Person for a total of $875,000. In addition, the Securities Purchase Agreement provides the Reporting Person a right of first refusal to purchase an additional 6,000,000 shares subject to the limitations outlined in clauses (ii) and (iii) above. The Reporting Peron intends to purchase the shares that the Securities Purchase Agreement requires him to purchase.  In addition, he may purchase the additional shares for which he has the right of first refusal, may from time to time purchase additional shares of Common Stock, and may dispose of any or all of the shares of Common Stock at any time.

The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the Reporting Person will have up to 30 days after the completion of the transaction (the “Closing Date”) to identify up to $50.0 million of assets (the “Work-Out Assets”), and the Reporting Person and the Company will be required to work together to identify the Work-Out Assets and develop an asset resolution plan (the “Asset Resolution Plan”) with respect to them.  The Company will be required to adopt the mutually agreeable Asset Resolution Plan within 30 days after the Work-out Assets are identified. The Asset Resolution Plan will require the Company to accelerate its work-out strategy with respect to the Work-Out Assets, and provide for the disposition, work out, upgrade or other resolution of them within 18 months of the Closing Date, based upon the additional capital raised in the transaction. The Asset Resolution Plan will require that, promptly upon its adoption, the Company write-down or charge-off the Work-Out Assets, or increase the specific loan loss reserves relating to them to account for any change in the work-out strategy with respect to each such asset; provided, however, that any write-down, charge-off or increase to loan loss reserves must comply with GAAP and applicable regulatory guidance. In no event will the Company be required to accelerate its work-out strategy to a degree that would result in an immediate pre-tax charge that, when combined with all offering-related expenses, exceeds either (i) $10.0 million, or (ii) the amount of capital raised in the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement and any rights offering.
