§1.
Purchase and Sale of Shares
(a)
Transaction. On and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, (i) Buyer agrees to purchase from Ricketts
(the “Ricketts Purchase”), and Ricketts agrees to sell
to Buyer, the Ricketts Shares at the Closing (defined below), in
exchange for an amount equal to U.S. $11.85 in cash per Share (the
“ Per Share Purchase Price ”) multiplied by the
number of Ricketts Shares (such amount, the “ Aggregate
Ricketts Purchase Price ”), and (ii) Buyer agrees to
purchase from the Grandchildren’s Trust (the “
Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase ” and, together
with the Ricketts Purchase, the “ Purchases ”),
and the Grandchildren’s Trust agrees to sell to Buyer, the
Grandchildren’s Trust Shares at the Closing, in exchange for
an amount equal to the Per Share Purchase Price multiplied by the
number of Grandchildren’s Trust Shares (such amount, the
“ Aggregate Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase Price
”). Buyer shall pay the Aggregate Ricketts Purchase Price in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account
designated as the “Ricketts Account” on Schedule 1
to this Agreement, and Buyer shall pay the Aggregate
Grandchildren’s Trust Purchase Price in immediately available
funds by wire transfer to the account designated as the
“Grandchildren’s Trust Account” on
Schedule 1 to this Agreement.
(i) Subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3(a) on
and as of the Closing Date, Buyer and each Seller shall consummate
the Purchase at a closing (the “ Closing ”) to
take place as soon as practicable following the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 3(a); provided, however, that
Buyer shall not be required to consummate the Purchase prior to the
3 rd
business day following the date
hereof (the “ Closing Date ”). If the Closing
does not occur prior to February 27, 2009, any Party may
terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of such
termination to the other Parties, and in such case no Party shall
have any further obligation or liability hereunder (it being
understood that any Party may still seek appropriate damages from
any other Party that breaches any of its obligations hereunder
prior to such termination, including its obligation to effect the
Purchases). At the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Buyer the
Shares (including, with any that are in certificated form, endorsed
in blank or accompanied by duly executed assignment documents), and
Buyer will deliver to Sellers the Purchase Price pursuant to
§1(a).

(i) On
the Closing Date, (A) the number of R Directors (as defined by
the Stockholders Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2005, among
the Buyer, The Toronto-Dominion Bank and certain other
stockholders, as amended (the “Stockholders
Agreement”)) shall be reduced from three to two as a result
of the Purchases (it being understood that nothing herein shall
prevent the number of R Directors from increasing back to three
pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement in the event that the R
Parties obtain additional shares of Buyer’s common stock in
the future), and (B) the R Parties shall deliver to the Buyer
the resignation of one of the R Directors effective as of the
Closing Date notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
the Stockholders Agreement.
