     WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Investment Agreement made as of December 17, 2008 with MP Thrift Investments L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“MP Thrift”), pursuant to which MP Thrift agreed to purchase from the Company 250,000 shares of a series of mandatory convertible participating voting preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, with each share convertible into common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), at the liquidation preference divided by $0.80 (the “MP Thrift Investment Agreement”);

     WHEREAS, in order to induce MP Thrift to enter into the MP Thrift Investment Agreement, the Subscribers have agreed to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Management Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of not less than $4 million and not more than $5 million at a price per Management Purchased Share of $0.80 per share, provided, however, that if the Company does not have sufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance prior to an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares thereunder, then the Subscribers shall instead purchase an equivalent number shares of Convertible Preferred Stock on an as converted basis as would have been purchased if sufficient shares of Common stock were available for issuance.

     SECTION 1. Subscription for the Management Shares. At the completion of the purchase and sale of the Management Shares (the “Closing”), the Subscriber hereby offers to purchase from the Company, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth,                      shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $.80 per share (the “Purchase Price”).

     SECTION 2. Acceptance of Subscriptions. Subscriber understands that the Company may accept this offer for all or any portion of the aggregate principal amount subscribed for herein or may reject this subscription without notice, in full or in part, with or without cause. Subscriber understands that the execution and delivery of this Agreement will not constitute an agreement between Subscriber and the Company until this Agreement has been accepted by the Company. The undersigned Subscriber will be notified of the acceptance of this subscription, or its rejection, by the Company.

     SECTION 3. Delivery of the Shares at the Closing. At the Closing, the Subscriber shall deliver, in immediately available funds, the full amount of the Purchase Price for the Management Shares being subscribed for hereunder to an account designated by the Company and the Company will issue                      shares of Common Stock sold in the offering against

receipt of subscription funds from Subscribers. Such shares will bear an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the Management Shares were sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder. The Management Shares, along with a copy of this Agreement accepted by the Company, will be delivered to Subscriber within five business days of the Closing.

     SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Subscriber. The Subscriber hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Company that:

     4.1 Experience.

     4.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Subscriber understands that the Management Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the Rules and Regulations and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Management Shares.

     4.3 Investment Decision. The Subscriber understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented to the Subscriber in connection with the purchase and sale of the Management Shares, constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Subscriber has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Management Shares.

     4.4 Risk of Loss. The Subscriber understands that its investment in the Management Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including a risk of total loss of the Subscriber’s

investment, and the Subscriber has full cognizance of and understands all of the risk factors related to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Securities. The Subscriber understands that the market price of the Common Stock has been volatile, and that no representation is being made as to the future value of the Management Shares.

     4.5 Legend. The Subscriber understands that, until such time as the Registration Statement has been declared effective or the Management Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Management Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.
