(the &quot;Issuer&quot;), for M&amp;F Group's commitment to purchase, at the Issuer's option, exercisable on demand during a one-year period after the date of the Letter Agreement (the &quot;Investment Period&quot;), the Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (&quot;Common Stock&quot;), at a per share price of $1.33, which is equal to the average of the volume weighted-average prices of the Common Stock for the five last completed trading days preceding the date of the Letter Agreement.  The Letter Agreement also permits M&amp;F Group to exercise an option to purchase Common Stock at the same price up to three times during the Investment Period.  The aggregate amount of Common Stock that may be purchased by M&amp;F Group (whether at its or the Issuer's option) pursuant to the Letter Agreement is limited to $10.0 million.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">In consideration for the commitment of M&amp;F Group under the Letter Agreement, the Issuer issued M&amp;F Group a warrant (the &quot;Warrant&quot;) to purchase 518,654 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at a price of $1.53, which is 115% of the option price under the Letter Agreement.  The Warrant is exercisable until July 30, 2025.</footnote>
