     1.  Sale and Purchase of Shares . The Company shall sell to the Purchaser, subject to the conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, that number of shares of Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) $10,000,000, by (y) $4.80, which is equal to approximately 95% of the average closing price of a share of Common Stock (as reported for consolidated transactions with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, then in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotations System or such other system then in use or, if the Common Stock is not quoted by any such organization, then as furnished by a New York Stock Exchange member firm selected by the Corporation) for the thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately prior to (but not including) the Closing Date, for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000,000 (the “ Purchase Price ”). The closing of the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder (the “ Closing ”) shall be held on the date hereof, or at such other time and place upon which the parties hereto shall agree.

     2.  Reorganization .
          (a) The Company, the Purchaser and Parent acknowledge that:
          (i) the Purchaser, at its election, may distribute to the Parent the Parent’s pro rata portion of any Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock owned by the Purchaser based on the Parent’s ownership percentage in the Purchaser;

          (ii) the Parent, at its election, may exchange 100% of any Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock of the Company (together, the “ Exchanged Stock ”) owned by the Parent as a result of the distribution described in clause (i) above for voting stock of the Company in the same class with the same rights, privileges and designations, including, without limitation, voting rights, as, and equal to the same number of, the Exchanged Stock owned by the Parent as of the date of the exchange (the “ Acquired Stock ”); and
          (iii) following such exchange, the Parent will distribute 100% of the Acquired Stock to its shareholder in complete liquidation.
      (b) The Company shall consider in good faith entering into the Reorganization as set forth in Section 2(a) above.
     If the Reorganization is consummated, the parties intend the Reorganization to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”), and the Company, the Purchaser and the Parent shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Reorganization to so qualify. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates shall take any action that would cause the Reorganization not to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code.
