contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
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

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. At the Closing, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a
certificate or certificates, registered in the Purchaser’s
name, representing the number of Shares purchased hereunder,
against payment of the Purchase Price therefor, by a check or wire
transfer per the Company’s instructions for the Purchase
Price payable to the Company.
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;
2
(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. The parties shall take the
position for all purposes that the Reorganization qualifies as a
reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(C).
