The principal business of CIC Partners is to make private equity investments in middle market companies. The principal business of the Partnership is its investment in the Common Shares.

Further, Messrs. Drew R. Johnson, Marshall B. Payne, James C.

Messrs. Rawlings, Bashour, Rawley III, Enrico, Antioco, Johnson, Smith and Payne disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities (Messrs. Rawlings, Bashour, Rawley III, Enrico, Antioco, Johnson, Smith and Payne, together with the Reporting Persons, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Disclosing Persons”).

          Messrs. Rawlings, Bashour, Antioco, Rawley III, Enrico, Johnson, Smith and Payne are all citizens of the United States.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Mr. Antioco acquired the 3,077,900 Common Shares owned by CIC Advantage in the open market on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price of $2,649,366.19. Mr. Antioco initially acquired 1,000,000 of these Common Shares for his own account utilizing his own personal funds, and subsequently acquired the remaining 2,077,900 Common Shares at the request and on behalf of CIC Advantage. Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated September 8, 2008 between Mr. Antioco and CIC Advantage (the “Letter Agreement”), Mr.

Antioco contributed the initial 1,000,000 Common Shares to CIC Advantage in exchange for a credit to his capital account in CIC Advantage equal to the amount of $1,240,000, which amount was calculated based on the closing price for the Issuer’s stock on the date of the contribution plus reimbursement for trading expenses. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Mr. Antioco purchased the additional 2,077,900 Common Shares through his personal brokerage account on behalf of, and with funds advanced to him by, CIC Advantage. The funds advanced to Mr. Antioco by CIC Advantage for such purchases were paid using the working capital of CIC Advantage. CIC Advantage subsequently transferred the 3,077,900 Common Shares to the Partnership.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction

          The Reporting Persons purchased the shares of the Common Shares based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the Common Shares at current market prices are undervalued and represent an attractive investment opportunity. Depending upon overall market and general economic conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, the market prices of the Common Shares and/or other equity, debt or other securities, notes or instruments of the Issuer (collectively, the “Securities”), the business affairs and financial condition of the Issuer and other factors deemed relevant to the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may endeavor to increase or decrease their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of Securities in the open market or in private transactions, including the purchase of Securities through a tender offer or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.

          Certain of the Reporting Persons have had communications with the Issuer and it is anticipated that the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, have discussions with management, the board of directors, and other stockholders of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons intend to monitor and evaluate the Issuer’s business, corporate governance and financial performance, to monitor efforts by management to increase stockholder value and to be available to management to the extent that the Issuer may benefit from the institutional experience of the Reporting Persons. The Reporting Persons also may seek in the future to have one or more representatives appointed or elected to the board of directors of the Issuer or to propose other matters for consideration and approval by the Issuer’s stockholders or board of directors. The Reporting Persons also may decide in the future to propose a transaction whereby all or a portion of the Issuer be sold, and in connection therewith the Reporting Persons may seek to participate in such transaction or seek to acquire control of the Issuer in a negotiated transaction or otherwise. If it or its affiliates should acquire control of the Issuer, it or its affiliates may transfer all or part of the Issuer to affiliated or unaffiliated persons.

          None of the Reporting Persons currently has other plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the consequences listed in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of the Special Instructions for complying with Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of the actions discussed above.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) At the close of business on December 29, 2008, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned 3,077,900 Common Shares, which constitute approximately 5.6% of the class outstanding. The aggregate percentage of Common Shares reported beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 54,690,728 Common Shares outstanding at November 13, 2008, according to the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2008. All of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are held by the Partnership.

     The General Partner, CIC Advantage and CIC Partners may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Partnership. Each of Messrs. Rawlings, Bashour, Antioco, Rawley III, Enrico, Johnson, Smith and Payne disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(b) The Partnership, the General Partner, CIC Advantage and CIC Partners have shared power to vote or direct the voting of, and to dispose or direct the disposition of, all the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(c) The table below specifies the date, amount and price of Common Shares purchased by Mr. Antioco on behalf of the Partnership during the past sixty days. All transactions were effected in the open market on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

Trade Date	Number of Shares	Price per Share

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Common Shares covered by this Statement.

(e) Not applicable
