NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties hereby agree as follows:

The actual Purchase Amount will be agreed upon in writing by the parties (including via e-mail) concurrent with the pricing of the Offering. Stripes agrees to purchase from the Corporation at the Closing the Stripes Shares for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Purchase Amount multiplied by such number of shares free and clear from any lien or encumbrances.
