R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell, and Purchasers desire to purchase and acquire, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, common stock of the Company, no par value (“Company Common Stock”), as provided in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    Agreement to Sell and Purchase; Offering.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company the respective shares of Company Common Stock (the “Shares”) listed on Schedule A free and clear of any liens or other restrictions on transfer, other than restrictions of state or federal securities laws. The per share purchase price payable by each Purchaser for the Shares shall be $56.41 (the “Price Per Share”). The aggregate purchase price for the Shares for each Purchaser (the “Purchase Price”) shall equal the number of shares to be purchased and sold hereunder multiplied by the Price Per Share. The Purchase Price for each Purchaser is listed on Schedule A.

(b)    The offering and sale of the Shares (the “Offering”) is being made pursuant to (i) an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (File No. 333-231121), as such Registration Statement may be amended and supplemented from time to time (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), including the prospectus contained therein dated April 30, 2019 (the “Base Prospectus”); and (ii) a Prospectus Supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”) containing certain supplemental information regarding the Shares and the terms of the Offering that was delivered to each Purchaser and will be filed with the Commission. The Registration Statement and Prospectus, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, are collectively referred to herein as the “Disclosure Package.”

2.    Closing, Delivery and Payment. The completion of the purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place by email exchange of documentation at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on May 15, 2020 (the “Closing”) or at such other time as the Company and each Purchaser may agree. At the Closing, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, (i) the Shares shall be released by the Company or its transfer agent to the Purchaser by electronic book-entry at The Depository Trust Company registered to the account of the DTC participant indicated by the Purchaser on Schedule A, and (ii) the Purchaser shall pay to the Company the Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by the Company.

(b)    Such Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, such Purchaser has the capacity to evaluate its investment in the Shares and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Disclosure Package or any other materials presented to such Purchaser in connection with the purchase and sale of the Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice.

The Company reserves the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of such Purchaser or any individual or entity having signatory or other similar authority over such Purchaser with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and may seek to verify such identity and the source of funds for the Purchase Price.

(d)    Since the time of the initial conversation between the Company and such Purchaser regarding the Offering and until the public announcement of the Offering as contemplated by Section 5, such Purchaser has not, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, (i) disclosed, directly or indirectly, any information regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its legal, accounting and other advisors) or (ii) engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitations, any short sales (as defined in Rule 200(a) of Regulation SHO) involving the Company’s securities). Such Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will (i) disclose any information regarding the Offering to any third parties (other than its legal, accounting and other advisors) or (ii) engage in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including short sales), in both cases prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.

(e)    Such Purchaser represents that (i) such Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional accredited investor with extensive expertise and experience in financial and business matters and in evaluating public companies and purchasing and selling their securities; (ii) such Purchaser has conducted and relied upon its own due diligence investigation of the Company and its own in-depth analysis of the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares in making its investment decision and has not relied upon any information provided by the Company’s placement agents (the “Placement Agents”), or any investigation of the Company conducted by the Placement Agents; and (iii) such Purchaser agrees that the Placement Agents shall have no liability to such Purchaser in connection with its purchase of the Shares.
