SECTION 1. Authorization of Shares.
1.01 The Company has authorized the sale and issuance of shares of Common Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock sold hereunder at the Closing (as defined below) shall be referred to as the “Shares.”
SECTION 2. Sale and Purchase of the Shares.
2.01 Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein contained, the Company agrees to sell and issue to each Purchaser, and each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a closing to take place remotely via exchange of executed documents (the “Closing” and the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”) to occur immediately prior to, but subject to, the closing of the Transaction, that number of Shares (the “Closing Shares”) set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers for the aggregate Purchase Price set forth under the heading “Subscription Amount.”
2.02 At or prior to the Closing, each Purchaser will pay the subscription amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers (the “Subscription Amount”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions provided by the Company to the Purchasers at least two Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Wire Instructions Notice”). If so requested by the Company in the Wire Instructions Notice and agreed by the applicable Purchaser, the Subscription Amount of each Purchaser shall be paid into an escrow fund or trust account designated by the Company in writing (the “Escrow Account”) to be released to the Company only upon satisfaction of each of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6 below.

On the Closing Date, the Company will deliver, against payment by each Purchaser of its Subscription Amount, the Closing Shares in book-entry form, and shall provide evidence of such
issuance from the Company’s transfer agent as of the Closing Date to each Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Schedule of Purchasers may be amended by the Company and the affected Purchaser up to three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, without the consent of the other parties hereto, to reflect the actual number of Shares purchased by each Purchaser at the Closing, provided that the Company shall provide to Purchasers such updated Schedule of Purchasers.

3.01 Validity. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability or similar actions, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and, assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
3.02 Brokers. There is no broker, investment banker, financial advisor, finder or other person which has been retained by the Purchaser who is entitled to any fee or commission for which the Company will be liable in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.03 Investment Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Shares has not been registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws and is being made in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving a public offering which depend upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
3.04 Acquisition for Own Account. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view towards distribution in a manner which would violate the 1933 Act or any applicable state or other securities laws. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Shares.
3.05 No General Solicitation. The Purchaser became aware of this offering of the Shares solely by means of direct contact between the Purchaser, on the one hand, and (x) the Company; (y) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx & Co. LLC and/or Evercore Group L.L.C. (the “Placement Agents”) and/or (z) their respective representatives, on the other hand. The Shares were offered to the Purchaser solely by direct contact between the Purchaser and the Company, the Placement Agents and/or their respective representatives. The Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person or entity (including the Company, the Placement Agents or their respective representatives), other than the representations and warranties by the Company contained in this Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. The Purchaser did not become aware of this offering of the Shares, nor were the Shares offered to the Purchaser, by any other means, and none of the Company, the Placement Agents or their respective representatives acted as an investment adviser, broker or dealer to the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Purchaser has a substantive pre-existing relationship with the Company, one of the Placement Agents or their respective Affiliates.
3.06 Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in investments similar to the Shares to properly evaluate the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. The Purchaser is able to bear the substantial risks of an investment in the Shares including but not limited to loss of the Purchaser’s entire investment therein.

3.07 Accredited Investor; Qualified Institutional Buyer. The Purchaser is (i) a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A of the 1933 Act) or (ii) an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (1), (2), (3) or (7) under the 1933 Act.
3.08 Restricted Shares. The Purchaser understands that the Shares will be characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the 1933 Act and that, under such laws and applicable regulations, such Shares may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.
3.09 Review and Advisors. In making its decision to subscribe for and purchase the Shares, the Purchaser has relied solely upon its own independent investigation.

The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that such Xxxxxxxxx has received such information as the Purchaser deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares, including with respect to the Company and the Transaction. The Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such financial and other information as the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s professional advisor(s), if any, have deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the Shares. The foregoing, however, does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 4 of this Agreement or the right of the Purchasers to rely thereon or the right of the Purchasers to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Reports.
3.10 Residency. Such Purchaser’s residence (if an individual) or offices in which its investment decision with respect to the Shares was made (if an entity) are located at the address immediately below such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers, or as otherwise noted on the Schedule of Purchasers.

(c) The Placement Agents, their respective affiliates and their respective representatives shall be entitled to rely on, and shall be protected in acting upon, any certificate, instrument, opinion, notice, letter or any other document or security delivered to any of them by or on behalf of the Company.

The representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers contained in Sections 3 and 4 and the agreements and covenants set forth in Sections 5 and 9 shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations (unless such covenant or agreement terminates earlier in accordance
14
with its terms), which shall not be extended by Section 8106(c) of Title 10 of the Delaware Code or any similar law. Each Purchaser shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.
9.09 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document.

9.12 Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group, and the Company will not assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Company acknowledges that the Purchasers are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
