Section 1.01 Issuance, Sale and Delivery of the Securities.

(a) At the Initial Closing (as defined in Section 1.02), on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, a number of Shares of Common Stock equal to 4.9% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Initial Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.02), rounded down to the nearest whole share (which such amount shall include any shares issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Offering). In consideration, the Purchaser shall pay to the Company a purchase price of $16.00 per share of Common Stock purchased.


(b) At the Follow-On Closing (as defined in Section 1.02), on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, a number of Shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of Shares of Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.01(a), equals 9.9% of the Company’s total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Follow-On Closing Date (as defined in Section 1.02), rounded down to the nearest whole share (which such amount shall include any shares issued to Purchaser pursuant to the Offering).
