        B.    Seller
desires to sell the Subject Shares to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase the Subject Shares from Seller, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set
forth in this Agreement. 


        C.    Seller
desires to reinvest                        Dollars
($                        ) (the "Additional Shares Consideration") of the
proceeds from such sale of the Subject Shares in the common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Purchaser ("Common Stock") in connection with the
initial public offering of the Common Stock of the Purchaser (the "IPO"). 


        D.    Seller
and Purchaser intend this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to constitute a "plan of reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368 of

THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, covenants, conditions, representations and warranties hereinafter provided, each of the parties hereby agrees as follows: 


        1.     Sale and Purchase of the Subject Shares and the Additional Shares.



        1.1   On
the date of this Agreement, Seller shall sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller, all of Seller's rights, title and interest in and to the Subject
Shares (such sale, the "Redemption"), in exchange for the delivery by Purchaser or its designee to Seller of $[an amount equal to the sum of
(i)(a) 1.14 multiplied by (b) the sum of (1) the purchase price for the Senior Preferred Stock, plus (2) accrued and unpaid dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock through the
date of this Agreement, plus (ii)(a) 1.12 multiplied by (b) the sum of (1) the purchase price for the Junior Preferred Stock, plus (2) accrued and unpaid dividends on the Junior

"Additional Shares") equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Additional Shares Consideration, by (ii) the purchase price of the
Common Stock in the IPO, in exchange for the delivery by Seller to Purchaser of the Additional Shares Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds (such sale, the
"Reinvestment"), which Purchaser agrees shall constitute payment in full for the purchase of such additional shares of Common Stock. The wire transfer
to Purchaser shall be made on the date of this Agreement in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth on the signature page of this Agreement next to Seller's name.
