Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

The shares of Common Stock were acquired for investment purposes to profit from the appreciation in the market price of the Common Stock and through the payment of dividends, if any.

While the Patriot Financial Group intends to exercise its rights as stockholders, no member thereof currently has any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Company or the disposition of securities of the Company, other than purchases in the open market in the normal course of business; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company; (f) any other material change in the Company's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Company's charter or bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person; (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized or quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above, but reserves the right to take such action in the future.

Each of the Funds entered into a management rights letter with the Company in order to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of qualifying the Funds’ investment as “venture capital investments” for purposes of the “plan assets” regulations of Department of Labor.
