Section 1.2   Consideration.  In consideration for the Shares, the Company shall pay to each of the Sellers $18.50 per Share, resulting in the purchase price for each Seller as set forth on Exhibit A (each such purchase price, a “Repurchase Price”).  Upon each of the Seller’s receipt of their respective Repurchase Price, each of the Sellers irrevocably appoints any officer, employee, or agent of the Company as the Seller’s attorney-in-fact to record the transfer of the Shares on the books and records of the Company with full power of substitution.

Section 2.2   Delivery of Shares and Consideration.  At the Closing, each of the Sellers shall take all necessary actions and make all necessary arrangements to transfer the Shares to the Company directly, or to or through a designated agent of the Company, so that the transfer of the Shares to the Company is properly reflected on the books and records of the Company.  At the Closing, the Company shall pay to each of the Sellers the respective Repurchase Price opposite each Seller’s name as set forth on Exhibit A by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the respective account designated by each Seller to the Comapny.
