WHEREAS, the Company desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Subscription; Payment. The Purchaser, intending to be legally bound under this Agreement, hereby irrevocably agrees to purchase from the Company, the number of shares of Common Stock set forth on the signature page attached hereto (the “Shares”) at a per share price equal to $20.25 (the “Share Price”) for an aggregate purchase price equal to $4,500,000 (the “Capital Commitment”). This Subscription is submitted to Purchaser in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions described in this Subscription Agreement. Purchaser shall either: (i) enclose herewith a certified or official bank check payable to the Company, or (ii) transmit by wire transfer the amount of the Capital Commitment.
2. Closing. The closing of the sale and purchase of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely on the date hereof or on such other date and at such other time and place as the Parties shall agree in writing. All actions and transactions required to take place at the Closing shall, unless otherwise specified herein, be deemed to have taken place simultaneously effective as of the close of business on such date. Promptly after the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser the Shares to be issued in such Closing through book-entry form.
3. Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company that the statements contained in this Section 3 are true and complete as of the date of this Agreement:
3.1. Authority. Purchaser represents that Purchaser has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the instruments referred to herein to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
| 1 |
3.2. Validity. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser, and the instruments referred to herein to which it is a party will be duly executed and delivered by Purchaser, and each such agreement and instrument constitutes or will constitute a valid and binding obligation of 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.
3.3. Investment Representations and Warranties. Purchaser understands and agrees that the offering and sale of the Shares has not been registered under the Securities 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 Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.
3.4. Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view toward distribution in a manner which would violate the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.
3.5. Ability to Protect Its Own Interests and Bear Economic Risks. Purchaser, by reason of the business and financial experience of its management, has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Shares and is able to sustain a loss of all of its investment in the Shares without economic hardship, if such a loss should occur.
3.6. Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
3.7. Access to Information.

Purchaser understands that an investment in the Shares bears significant risk and represents that it has reviewed the SEC Reports, which serve to qualify the Company representations set forth in this Agreement.
3.8. Restricted Securities. 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 Securities Act and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Shares, except as provided in this Agreement. Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement.
| 2 |
3.9. Tax Advisors. Purchaser has had the opportunity to review with Purchaser’s own tax advisors the federal, state and local tax consequences of this investment, where applicable, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser is relying solely on Purchaser’s own determination as to tax consequences or the advice of such tax advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents and understands that Purchaser (and not the Company) shall be responsible for Purchaser’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The Company has all requisite corporate power and has taken all necessary corporate action required for the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares and the provision to Purchaser of the rights contemplated by this Agreement) and no action on the part of the stockholders of the Company is required. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.
