The Company further understands and acknowledges that (y) the Purchaser may engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Shares are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Shares are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders' equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities do not constitute a breach of any of this Agreement.

Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares by the Company to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby.

4.2Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby, for itself and for no other Purchaser, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)Organization; Authority. The Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the applicable Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations thereunder. This Agreement when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(b)Investment Intent. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares as principal for the Purchaser’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Shares or any part thereof, without prejudice, however, to the Purchaser’s right at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such Shares in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Purchaser to hold the Shares for any period of time. The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the
Page 11 of 17
Exhibit 10.01
ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Shares.
(c)Accredited Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, and at the Effective Date, the Purchaser was, and at the Initial Closing and each subsequent closing, will be, an “Accredited Purchaser” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. The Purchaser is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

The Purchaser acknowledges that it has reviewed the Company’s SEC Reports and has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable the Purchaser to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(f)Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Shares have not been, and will not be registered under the Securities Act. Unless registered the Purchaser may only sell or transfer the Shares pursuant to a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Shares are and shall be “Restricted Securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Shares indefinitely unless an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Shares, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
(g)Independent Investment Decision. The Purchaser has independently evaluated the merits of its decision to purchase the Shares pursuant to this Agreement, and such Purchaser confirms that it has not relied on the advice of any other Purchaser’s business and/or legal counsel in making such decision. The Purchaser has not relied on the business or legal advice of the Company or any of its officers, directors, agents, counsel or Affiliates in making its investment decision hereunder, and confirms that none of such Persons has made any representations or warranties to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
