STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On August 11, 2016, the Company, KKTY Holding Company, L.L.C. (“KKTY Holding”), the Kohlberg Manager, certain funds affiliated with the Kohlberg Manager (the “Kohlberg Funds” and, together with the Kohlberg Manager, “Kohlberg”) and the VPC SBIC Fund entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) whereby KKTY Holding sold all of its 1,131,551 shares of convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), to the VPC SBIC Fund, in exchange for nominal cash consideration and the execution of a mutual release (the “Acquisition”).  The Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 18,859,183 shares of the Company’s common stock, which, if converted in full, would represent 70.3% of our outstanding common stock (after giving effect to such conversion).  The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) took place concurrently with the execution of the SPA.

Pursuant to the mutual release, and as a condition to Victory Park Capital Advisors’ willingness to provide the New Second Lien Financing (as discussed in Note 4), Kohlberg agreed to release the Company, Victory Park Capital Advisors, the VPC SBIC Fund and Victory Park Management from potential claims, other than potential claims for indemnification under the management agreement, dated June 28, 2001, between the Company and the Kohlberg Manager (the “Management Agreement”).  In accordance with the SPA, such Management Agreement, together with any other similar advisory agreements between any of KKTY Holding, the Kohlberg Manager, the Kohlberg Funds and the Company, were terminated as of August 11, 2016.  In addition, Victory Park Capital Advisors, Victory Park Management and the VPC SBIC Fund, on behalf of themselves and certain of their affiliates, agreed to release Kohlberg and the current and former officers and directors of the Company from claims and potential claims, other than those arising under the SPA.  In accordance with the SPA, the Company also provided a general release in favor of Kohlberg, certain of its affiliates and members of the Board appointed by Kohlberg.

In connection with the Closing, and pursuant to the SPA, Charles Asfour, a partner of Victory Park Capital Advisors, the VPC SBIC Fund’s investment manager, was appointed as a director of the Company and all of the then-serving directors of the Company, other than its Chief Executive Officer, resigned as of the Closing.  On August 30, 2016, Mr. Asfour was appointed as Chairman of the Board.  Two additional directors designated by the VPC SBIC Fund were appointed to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) effective as of September 12, 2016.  The Company has also agreed, in connection with any annual or special meeting of its stockholders at which directors are to be elected, to take all reasonably necessary action within its control and use its reasonable best efforts to cause an individual designated by the VPC SBIC Fund to be nominated for election (or re-election, as the case may be) to the Board, to recommend that such individual be elected to the Board, and to solicit proxies on behalf of such director nominee.
