Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

Credit Agreement

 

On October 1, 2018, Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”), with Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP (“Athyrium”).  The Credit Facility provides for a term A loan in the aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Term A Loan”), and a term B loan in the aggregate principal amount of $35.0 million (the “Term B Loan”). The Term A Loan and the Term B Loan are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Term Loans” and each a “Term Loan”. On October 1, 2018, the Company borrowed the entire principal amount of the Term A Loan. The Company may draw down the Term B Loan upon either (i) FDA approval of KPI-121 0.25% for a dry eye disease indication or (ii) reaching net product revenues for INVELTYS of at least $25.0 million for the two fiscal quarter period then most recently ended, in each case on or prior to June 30, 2020. The maturity date of the Athyrium Credit Facility is October 1, 2024, the six-year anniversary of the closing.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility bear interest at a rate of 9.875% per annum.  The Credit Facility provides for quarterly interest-only payments for 48 months.  Beginning on September 30, 2022, the Company is required to make principal and interest payments through the maturity date.  The Company may make voluntary prepayments in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment premium equal to (i) with respect to any prepayment paid on or prior to the second anniversary of each Term Loan, 5.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid plus a make-whole premium, (ii) with respect to any prepayment paid between the second and third anniversary of the Term Loan, 3.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, (iii) with respect to any prepayment paid between the third and fourth anniversary of the Term Loan, 2.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loan being prepaid, and (iv) with respect to any prepayment paid after the fourth anniversary of the Term Loan, no prepayment premium. Upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any of the Term Loans, the Company is obligated to pay an exit fee in an amount equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the Term Loans prepaid or repaid.

 

The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type as well as customary events of default. In addition, the Credit Facility contains a negative covenant requiring the Company to maintain at all times at least $10.0 million of cash and cash equivalents. Certain of the customary negative covenants limit the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, among other things, to incur future debt, grant liens, make investments, make acquisitions, distribute dividends, make certain restricted payments and sell assets, subject to certain exceptions.

 

Security Agreement and Pledge Agreement

 

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Facility are secured by a security interest in, subject to certain exceptions, substantially all of our assets, pursuant to the terms of a security agreement, dated as of October 1, 2018 and a pledge agreement, dated October 1, 2018, each in favor of Athyrium.

 

Warrant

 

In connection with the Credit Facility and in consideration for the commitment of the Credit Facility, on October 1, 2018, the Company issued to Athyrium a warrant to purchase up to 270,835 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an exercise price per share of $12.18456 (the “Warrant”).  The Warrant is immediately exercisable as to 184,660 shares and will become exercisable as to the remaining 86,175 shares only upon the Company’s draw of the Term B Loan.  The Warrant expires and is no longer exercisable on October 1, 2025, the seven-year anniversary of the closing of the Credit Facility.  The Company also granted “piggyback” registration rights to holders of the Warrants to register the Common Stock subject to such Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in the event the Company files a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act within six months following the issuance of the Warrant covering its equity securities, subject to the terms and conditions included in the Warrant.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Facility, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Warrant do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Facility, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Warrant, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On October 1, 2018, concurrently with the closing of the Credit Facility and the initial borrowing of the Term A Loan, the Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the Term A Loan to repay in full all outstanding amounts under the Company’s existing Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 20, 2014, as amended to date, by and among the Company, Square 1 Bank, as administrative agent and collateral agent and Square 1 Bank and Alexandria Equities, LLC, as lenders (the “2014 Credit Agreement”),

and terminated all commitments by the lenders to extend further credit thereunder and all guarantees and security interests granted by the Company to the lenders thereunder.  The Company paid an early termination fee of 0.9% of the outstanding principal amount in connection with the termination of the 2014 Credit Agreement.

 

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

 

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The information related to the Warrant issued to Athyrium contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference. Based in part upon the representations of Athyrium contained in the Warrant, the Company issued the Warrant in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Neither the Warrant nor the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) have been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and the Warrant and the Warrant Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. The Warrant was acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering.  Athyrium represented that it is an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, that it is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies engaged in businesses similar to that of the Company, and that it acquired the Warrant, and will acquire the Warrant Shares, for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution or reselling thereof in violation of the United States federal securities laws. The Company took reasonable steps to verify that Athyrium is an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

 

Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

 

The information contained in Item 1.01 of this Current Report is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

 

On October 2, 2018, the Company issued a press release announcing the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference into this Item 7.01.

 

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is furnished to comply with Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

2.06                        Interest.

 

(a)                                 Pre-Default Rate.  Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date thereof at a rate per annum equal to 9.875% per annum.

2.07                        Fees.

 

(a)                                 Closing Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to Athyrium a $1,100,000 closing fee on the Closing Date.  Such fee shall be fully earned when paid and shall be non-refundable for any reason whatsoever.  It is understood and agreed that Athyrium, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders reserve the right to allocate, in whole or in part, to their respective Affiliates, the fees payable to such Persons hereunder in such manner as Athyrium, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and such Affiliates shall agree in their sole discretion.

 

(b)                                 Exit Fee.  Upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of the Loans (or upon the date any such prepayment or repayment is required to be paid), whether pursuant to Section 2.03, Section 2.05 or Section 9.02, or otherwise, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, for their respective ratable accounts, on the date on which such prepayment or repayment is paid or required to be paid, as the case may be, in addition to the other Obligations so prepaid, repaid or required to be prepaid or repaid, an exit fee in an amount equal to one percent (1.00%) of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid, repaid or required to be prepaid or repaid, as the case may be, on such date.

 

2.08                        Computation of Interest.

 

All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed.  Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid.

 

2.09                        Evidence of Debt.

 

The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records.  Each such promissory note shall (a) in the case of the Term A Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-1 (a “Term A Note”) and (b) in the case of the Term B Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Term B Note”).  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

2.10                        Payments Generally.

 

(a)                                 General.  All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Subject to Section 9.03, all payments of principal, interest, prepayment premiums and fees on the Loans and all other Obligations payable by any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be due, without any presentment thereof, directly to the Lenders, at the respective Lending Offices of the Lenders; provided, that, if at the time of any such payment a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of such payment shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.  The Loan Parties will make such payments in Dollars, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due, marked for attention as indicated, or in such other manner or to such other account in any United States bank as the Lenders may from time to time direct in writing.  All payments received by the Lenders after 2:00 p.m. shall be

 

37



 

deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.

 

(b)                                 Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

 

(c)                                  Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

2.11                        Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

 

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its portion of any of the Loans or prepayment premium or exit fee in connection therewith resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loans and accrued interest thereon and prepayment premium or exit fees in connection therewith greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the portions of the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, accrued interest on and prepayment premium or exit fees in connection with their respective portions of the Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, that:

 

(i)                                 if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)                              the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its portion of the Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).

 

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

 

38



 

2.12                      Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)                                 Adjustments.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

 

(i)                                     Waivers and Amendment.  The Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.

 

(ii)                                  Reallocation of Payments.  Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(b)                                 Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(a)                                 All payments of principal and interest on the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority (“Taxes”), except as required by applicable Law.  If any withholding or deduction of any Taxes from any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction and shall pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted and (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority.  If such Taxes deducted or withheld are Taxes other than (x) Taxes imposed on or measured by net income, franchise Taxes, and branch profits Taxes, in each case, imposed by the jurisdiction under which a Recipient is organized or conducts business or as a result of a present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Loan Documents or taking any action thereunder), (y) U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Recipient with respect to an applicable interest in a Loan or Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (i) such Recipient acquires such interest in the Loan or Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 11.13) or (ii) such Recipient changes its Lending Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 3.01, amounts with respect to such Taxes were payable either to such Recipient’s assignor immediately before such Recipient became a party hereto or to such Recipient immediately before it changed its Lending Office and (z) U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed under FATCA (all such Taxes described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) being called “Excluded Taxes”), then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the applicable Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

 

(b)                                 The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document (“Indemnified Taxes”) (including Indemnified Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.

 

(c)                                  Any Lender, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a “United

 

40



 

States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code (each such Lender a “Foreign Lender”) shall execute and deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date that such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), one or more (as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent certifying as to such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from or reduction of withholding or deduction of taxes, including FATCA. Solely for purposes of this clause (c), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Each Lender that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), one or more (as the Borrower or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding.  The Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to any Lender pursuant to this Section 3.01 with respect to taxes attributable to the failure of such Lender to comply with this paragraph.

 

(d)                                 Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to do so.

 

(e)                                  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority, other than any penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.   This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

3.02                        Increased Costs.

 

(a)                                 Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall subject any Recipient to any taxes (other than (A) Taxes that are covered by Section 3.01(b) and (B) taxes that are

 

41



 

excluded from the definition of Taxes in Section 3.01(a)) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), then, upon written demand of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)                                 Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 

(c)                                  Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

3.03                        Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

 

(a)                                 Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02 or requires the Borrower to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

 

(b)                                 Replacement of Lenders.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02 or if the Borrower is required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.03(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

 

3.04                        Survival.

 

All of the Loan Parties’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

 

4.02                        Obligations Unconditional.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

 

(a)                                 at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

43



 

shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

 

(d)                                 any Lien granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

 

(e)                                  any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

 

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

 

4.03                        Reinstatement.

 

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any Secured Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

4.04                        Certain Additional Waivers.

 

Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

 

4.05                        Remedies.

 

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01.  The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

44



 

4.06                        Rights of Contribution.

 

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law.  Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

 

4.07                        Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

 

The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

9.02                        Remedies Upon Event of Default.

 

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

 

(a)                                 declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

 

(b)                                 declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts (including any prepayment premium) owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and

 

(c)                                  exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

 

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts (including any prepayment premium) as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) will also be due and payable as though such Obligations were voluntarily prepaid and any discount on the Loans shall be deemed earned in full and, in each case, shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof.  Any prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing.  The prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) shall also be payable and any discount on the Loans shall be deemed earned in full, in each case, in the event that the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM, EXIT FEE AND ANY DISCOUNT ON THE LOANS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.  The

 

83



 

Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Loans provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Loans shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Loans, (iv) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph and (v) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Loans represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any early termination.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Loans to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans hereunder.

 

9.03                        Application of Funds.

 

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received by any Lender or the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, prepayment premium and exit fees) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on, and prepayment premium and exit fees with respect to, the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE X

 

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

 

10.01                 Appointment and Authority.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP, a Delaware limited partnership, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law.  Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

10.02                 Rights as a Lender.

 

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

85



 

10.03                 Exculpatory Provisions.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)                                 shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

(b)                                 shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

 

(c)                                  shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 and Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to know of of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender.

 

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

 

10.04                 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by

 

86



 

it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

10.05                 Delegation of Duties.

 

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

10.06                 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

 

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and, thereafter, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder.  Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, been approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by the Borrower or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing).  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.06 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.  If no successor has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

 

10.07                 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

 

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents

 

87



 

and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

 

10.08                 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)                                 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

(b)                                 to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 11.04.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

10.09                 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

 

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

 

(a)                                 to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of all unused Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) under the Loan Documents, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

 

88

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Investment Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Investment Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.01 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.01 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

(c)                                  Reimbursement by Lenders.  To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the

 

93



 

applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided, further, that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b).

 

(d)                                 Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Investment Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

(e)                                  Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

 

(f)                                   Survival.  The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

 

11.05                 Payments Set Aside.

 

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

(b)                                 Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility); provided, that, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

(i)                                           Minimum Amounts.

 

(A)                               in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment with respect to any Facility and/or the Loans with respect to any Facility at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)                               in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the applicable Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans with respect to any Facility of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

 

(ii)                                        Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

 

95



 

(iii)                                     Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

 

(A)                               the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

 

(B)                               the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

(iv)                                    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such information, including notice information, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require.

 

(v)                                       No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural Person.

 

(vi)                                    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a

 

96



 

Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

 

(c)                                  Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                 Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(c) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) and Section 3.02 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided, that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 or 3.02, with respect to any

 

97



 

participation, than the Lender from whom it acquired the applicable participation would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.03 with respect to any Participant.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(e)                                  Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), in which case the disclosing party agrees, to the extent permitted by law, rule or regulation and reasonably practicable, to promptly inform the Borrower, except with respect to any audit or examination conducted by bank accountants or any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Investment Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Investment Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau

 

98



 

or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the members of its investment committee (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower whom the Administrative Agent or such Lender does not know to be in breach of any obligation of confidentiality to any Loan Party or Subsidiary with respect to such Information.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

11.08                 Set-off.

 

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

 

11.09                 Interest Rate Limitation.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Investment Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Investment Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower.  In

 

99



 

determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

11.10                 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

 

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement, the other Investment Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

11.11                 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Investment Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or other Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice of or know of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 

11.12                 Severability.

 

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Investment Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

100



 

11.13                 Replacement of Lenders.

 

If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

 

(a)                                 such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of (x) the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than prepayment premium and exit fees) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (y) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b), in each case, from the Borrower, as if such assignment was a prepayment of one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount of such assignor’s Loans on the effective date of such assignment;

 

(b)                                 such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;

 

(c)                                  in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and

 

(d)                                 in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination;

 

provided, that, the failure by any Defaulting Lender or any Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender’s outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

11.17                 USA PATRIOT Act.

 

Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower and the other Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Investment Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a)(i) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent, Athyrium, and the Lenders are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, Athyrium and the Lenders on the other hand, (ii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (iii) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Investment Documents; (b)(i) the Administrative Agent, Athyrium and each Lender is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Borrower or any of Affiliates or any other Person and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in

 

103



 

the other Investment Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, Athyrium and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent, Athyrium nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases, any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent, Athyrium or any Lender with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

(a)                                 to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of all unused Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) under the Loan Documents, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

THIS TERM A NOTE IS ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT (“OID”) FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. THE ISSUE PRICE, AMOUNT OF OID, ISSUE DATE AND YIELD TO MATURITY WITH RESPECT TO THIS TERM A NOTE MAY BE OBTAINED BY WRITING TO THE BORROWER AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: 100 BEAVER ST., SUITE 201, WALTHAM, MA 02453, ATTENTION: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER, FACSIMILE: 781-642-0399.

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (the “Borrower”) promises to pay to                       or registered assigns (the “Lender”), in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount of the Term A Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of October 1, 2018 (as amended, modified, restated, supplemented or extended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Athyrium Opportunities III Acquisition LP, as Administrative Agent.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.

 

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term A Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement from the Closing Date until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates and at such times as provided in the Credit Agreement.  All payments of principal and interest owed to the Lender shall be made to the Lender for the account of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Lender’s Lending Office; provided, that, if at the time of such payment the Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such payment shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent.  In accordance with the Credit Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, if any amount is not paid in full when due under the Credit Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment) computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender may also attach schedules to this Term A Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the Term A Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and payments with respect thereto.

 

The Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and nonpayment of this Term A Note.

 

This Term A Note may only be transferred in accordance with the limitations and restrictions set forth in the Credit Agreement.  THIS TERM A NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

KALA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Date of Issuance: October 1, 2018

Certificate No. 2018-1

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that ATHYRIUM OPPORTUNITIES III ACQUISITION LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and its permitted transferees, successors and permitted assigns (the “Holder”), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, is entitled to purchase from KALA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $12.18456 per share (the “Exercise Price”), at any time after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and expiring on October 1, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), 270,835 shares of the fully paid and non-assessable common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company (as such number may be adjusted as provided herein).  The 270,835 shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to this Warrant are referred to herein as the “Aggregate Number”.  This common stock purchase warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued under and pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Holder, as Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto from time to time, dated as of October 1, 2018 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

The Aggregate Number and Exercise Price set forth above shall also be adjusted under certain conditions specified in Section 5 of this Warrant.  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 12 hereof, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

SECTION 1.        The Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a)           The Warrant.  This Warrant and the rights and privileges of the Holder hereunder may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part as provided herein, shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement, and, as more fully set forth in Sections 1(b) and 7 hereof, may, subject to the terms of this Warrant, be transferred by the Holder to any other Person or

 



 

Persons who meet the requirements set forth herein and therein at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, regardless of whether the Holder retains any or all rights under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           Transfer and Exchanges.  The Company shall initially record this Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company and, subject to Section 7 hereof, from time to time thereafter shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant on such register when surrendered for transfer in accordance with the terms hereof and properly endorsed, accompanied by appropriate instructions, and further accompanied by payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any stamp or other tax or governmental charge or fee required to be paid in connection with the transfer thereof.  Upon any such transfer, a new warrant or warrants shall be issued to the transferee and the Holder (in the event this Warrant is only partially transferred) and the surrendered warrant shall be canceled.  This Warrant may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered at the Principal Office of the Company, for another warrant or other warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock. Any attempt to transfer this Warrant in violation of the provisions of this Section 1(b) shall be null and void and the Company shall not register or effect any such transfer.

 

SECTION 2.        Exercise.

 

(a)           Right to Exercise.  At any time after the Commencement Date and on or before the Expiration Date, the Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof, may exercise this Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by delivering this Warrant to the Company during normal business hours on any Business Day at the Company’s Principal Office, together with the Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed, and payment of the Exercise Price per share for each share purchased, as specified in the Notice of Exercise.  The aggregate Exercise Price (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) to be paid for the shares to be purchased (the “Exercise Amount”) shall equal the product of (i) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price.  If the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(b)           Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price.  Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made to the Company in cash or other immediately available funds or as provided in Section 2(c), or a combination thereof.  In the case of payment of all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(c), the direction by the Holder to make a “Cashless Exercise” shall serve as accompanying payment for that portion of the Exercise Price.

 

(c)           Cashless Exercise.  If the Company shall receive written notice from the Holder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the Holder elects to make a “Cashless Exercise” of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any Exercise Price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

2



 

 

Where

 

X =          The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y =          The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation) or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).

 

A =          The Fair Market Value Per Share.

 

B =          The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

 

(d)           Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its Principal Office in proper form for exercise, and accompanied by the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered.  Within 10 Business Days after such surrender of this Warrant, delivery of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue the Warrant Shares so purchased to the Holder in book-entry format.  Any reference in this Warrant to the issuance of a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall also be deemed a reference to the book-entry issuance of such Warrant Shares.

 

(e)           Fractional Shares.  The Company may, but shall not be required to, deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Holder in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value Per Share.

 

(f)            Partial Exercise.  In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof which has not expired.

 

SECTION 3.        Payment of Taxes.  The Company shall pay all stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or issuable pursuant to Section 5 hereof, excluding any tax or taxes which may be payable because of the transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares or other securities issued or delivered upon exercise of this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder.  All transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment.

 

3



 

SECTION 4.        Replacement Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest.

 

SECTION 5.        Adjustments to the Aggregate Number and the Exercise Price.

 

Under certain conditions, the Aggregate Number and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a)           Adjustments.  The Aggregate Number, the Term B Warrant Share Amount (as defined below) and the Exercise Price, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 5, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and the Exercise Price hereunder.

 

(i)            Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

 

(A)          issue to all holders of its shares of Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”);

 

(B)          subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”); or

 

(C)          combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”);

 

then the Aggregate Number and Term B Warrant Share Amount in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination, and the Exercise Price shall be (1) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Combination.  In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the shares of Common Stock payable in any right to acquire shares of Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire shares of Common Stock.  Any adjustment under this Section 5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination becomes effective, or upon the making of any Stock Dividend.

 

4



 

(ii)           Non-Cash Distributions.  If the Company makes or pays any distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock (and not to the Holders of the Warrants) payable in securities or property (other than cash) not covered by Section 5(a)(i) above, then upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, for each Warrant Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred.

 

(iii)          Term B Borrowing.

 

(A)          At any time during the Availability Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), if at the time that the Holder delivers a Notice of Exercise with respect to any or all of the Warrant Shares the Term B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have not been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates in whole or in part, the Aggregate Number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise shall be reduced by 86,175 Warrant Shares (the “Term B Warrant Share Amount”); provided, that such reduction shall not apply to any subsequent Notice of Exercise if, at the time the Holder delivers such subsequent Notice of Exercise, the Term B Loans have, in whole or in part, prior to or concurrently with the delivery of such subsequent Notice of Exercise, been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

(B)          Upon expiration of the Availability Period, if the Term B Loans have not, in whole or in part, been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Aggregate Number shall automatically be reduced by the Term B Warrant Share Amount.

 

(iv)          Miscellaneous.  The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments to the Exercise Price, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 5(a):

 

(A)          The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the purposes of this Section 5(a).

 

(B)          In case of the issuance at any time of any additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

 

(C)          The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5(a) shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the Exercise Price that would otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a Stock Subdivision or Stock

 

5



 

Combination, as provided for in Section 5(a)(i) hereof) unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least $0.01 to or from the Exercise Price immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.  Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 5(a) and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment.  For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

 

(D)          In computing adjustments under this Section 5(a), fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

 

(E)           If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities (whether as a dividend or a distribution or otherwise) and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such Common Stock or Convertible Securities or warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

 

(b)           Reclassification or Reorganization.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or recapitalization of the Company (other than as a result of a Stock Dividend, a Stock Subdivision or a Stock Combination provided for in Section 5(a)) that occurs after the Commencement Date, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Warrant Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the Aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).

 

(c)           Notices.

 

(i)            Notice of Proposed Actions.  If, while this Warrant is outstanding,

 

6



 

the Company (A) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock or makes any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (B) offers to the holders of its Common Stock (in their capacity as stockholder of the Company) rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Convertible Securities, rights to acquire Convertible Securities or Capital Stock or additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, warrants, rights or options, (C) effects any reclassification of its Common Stock, (D) effects any recapitalization, stock subdivision, stock combination or other capital reorganization, (E) enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for, any Change of Control, (F) effects the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (G) effects any other action which would require an adjustment under this Section 5, then in each such case the Company shall give to the Holder written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the proposed date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution, or rights or the proposed date on which such reclassification, reorganization, Change of Control, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other transaction, is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, or the proposed date on which the transfer of Common Stock is to occur, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock. Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (A) or (B) above at least 20 calendar days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at least 20 calendar days prior to the earlier of the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Adjustment Notice.  Whenever the Exercise Price, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and/or the Aggregate Number is to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare and deliver to the Holder a notice from the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated.

 

(d)           Treatment of Warrant upon a Change of Control.

 

(i)    In the event of a Change of Control in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Change of Control”), if this Warrant is outstanding immediately prior to such Cash/Public Change of Control then (A) if the Fair Market Value Per Share is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged without exercise for the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Cash/Public Change of Control if this Warrant had been exercised in full pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof, immediately prior to such Cash/Public Change of Control, and (B) if the Fair Market Value Per Share is less than or equal to the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.  In the event of a Cash/Public Change of Control as set forth in Section 5(d)(i)(A), the Company shall pay or

 

7



 

deliver to the Holder the securities, cash or property contemplated in Section 5(d)(i)(A) promptly following the consummation of the Cash/Public Change of Control.

 

(ii)   If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates a Change of Control that is not a Cash/Public Change of Control, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, a holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not affect any such Change of Control unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

 

(iii)  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company consummates a Change of Control at a time prior to the extension of the Term B Loans, in whole or in part, to the Company or any of its Affiliates, any assumed exercise or exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall exclude the Term B Warrant Share Amount.

 

SECTION 6.        No Dilution or Impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary (including by way of implication), the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary so that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

SECTION 7.        Transfers of the Warrant Securities.

 

(a)           Generally.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the restrictions set forth in this Section 7, the Holder may transfer this Warrant and the Warrant Shares in whole or in part to any Person, and, upon the reasonable request of the Holder, the Company agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly assist the Holder in making any such transfer in compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws.  This Warrant has not been, and the Warrant Shares at the time of their issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act.  For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee.  For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Holder, and shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred.

 

8



 

(b)           Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by accepting this Warrant, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(i)    this Warrant has been acquired and the Warrant Shares will be acquired for the account of the Holder for investment purposes for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution or reselling thereof; and the Holder has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof;

 

(ii)   the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

 

(iii)  the Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies engaged in businesses similar to that of the Company;

 

(iv)  the Holder understands that investment in the Warrant (and any Warrant Shares it acquires) involves substantial risks and it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Company and it is able to bear the economic risk of that investment;

 

(v)   prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall furnish to the Company such customary certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement; and

 

(vi)  the Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(c)           Transfer Restrictions.

 

(i)            Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 7 hereof, this Warrant (or any warrants represented hereby) may only be sold or transferred, in whole or in part, (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the re-sale by the Holder of this Warrant under the Securities Act or (B) pursuant to a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 18 hereof, upon the delivery to the Company of a customary opinion of legal counsel (which may rely on customary certificates and representations) stating that

 

9



 

such registration is not required under the Securities Act.  This Warrant (or any warrants represented hereby) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act shall not bear a restrictive legend as set forth in this Warrant or pursuant to this clause.

 

(ii)           Any Warrants Shares may only be sold or transferred (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 18 hereof, upon the delivery to the Company of a customary opinion of legal counsel (which may rely on customary certificates and representations) stating that such registration is not required under the Securities Act.  The Holder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise in order to comply with applicable securities laws, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 

(d)           Registration Rights.  The Company agrees that it shall notify the Holder in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company and excluding, without limitation, any Special Registration Statement) that would be filed before the date that is six (6) months from the Commencement Date, and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Warrant Shares. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Warrant Shares held by it shall, within seven (7) Business Days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Warrant Shares by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include any portion of its Warrant Shares in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Warrant Shares in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

SECTION 8.        Covenants.

 

The Company hereby covenants to the Holder that so long as the Holder holds this Warrant:

 

(a)           Validly Issued Shares.  All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, assuming full payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (including those issued pursuant to Section 5 hereof) shall, upon delivery by the Company, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all stamp taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof and otherwise free of all other security interests, encumbrances and claims (other than security interests, encumbrances and claims to which the Holder is subject prior to or upon the issuance of the applicable Warrant Shares, restrictions under applicable federal and/or state securities laws and other transfer restrictions described herein).

 

(b)           Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available

 

10



 

out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares, free of preemptive rights, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to enable the Company to issue Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)           Affirmative Actions to Permit Exercise and Realization of Benefits.  If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of the exercise of this Warrant, or any shares or other securities reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of issuance pursuant to Section 5 hereof, require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law (other than securities laws) before such shares or other securities may be validly delivered upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company covenants that it will, at its sole expense, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be (including but not limited to approvals or expirations of waiting periods required under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act).

payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, of the Obligations.

Schedule 3 sets forth a complete and accurate list of all license agreements (inbound or outbound) by the New Subsidiary of any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv).

 

With respect to all Material Intellectual Property on Schedule 3 hereto, (A) the New Subsidiary owns or has a valid license to such Material Intellectual Property free and clear of any and all Liens other than Liens permitted pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement; (B) the New Subsidiary has taken commercially reasonable actions to maintain and protect such Material Intellectual Property; (C) except as set forth on Schedule 3 hereto, and except for rejections issued by a Governmental Authority in the ordinary course of prosecuting Patent or Trademark applications, (1) there is no proceeding challenging the validity or enforceability of any such Patent or Trademark, (2) the New Subsidiary is not involved in any such proceeding with any Person, and (3) none of the Patents or Trademarks is the subject of any Other Administrative Proceeding; (D)(1) the issued Patents and registered Trademarks are subsisting, (2) to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, the issued Patents and registered Trademarks are valid and enforceable, (3) to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, no event has occurred, and nothing has been done or omitted to have been done, that would affect the validity or enforceability of such Material Intellectual Property and (4) all such Material Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 3 hereto is in full force and effect and has not lapsed, or been forfeited or cancelled or abandoned (except for routine abandonments associated with patent prosecution) and there are no delinquent unpaid maintenance, renewal or other fees payable or owing by the New Subsidiary for any such Material Intellectual Property, except those indicated as being lapsed, forfeited, cancelled, abandoned, or expired on Schedule 3 hereto; (E) the New Subsidiary is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to all such Material Intellectual Property that is owned by it except those listed on Schedule 3 hereto; (F) to the

 



 

knowledge of the New Subsidiary, to the extent any such Material Intellectual Property was authored, developed, conceived or created, in whole or in part, for or on behalf of the New Subsidiary by any Person, then the New Subsidiary has entered into a written agreement with such Person in which such Person has assigned all right, title and interest in and to such Material Intellectual Property to the New Subsidiary; and (G) as of the date hereof, no such Material Intellectual Property is subject to any license grant by the New Subsidiary, except for (x) license grants between the Loan Parties and (y) those license grants disclosed on Schedule 3 hereto.

 

Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 3 hereto, to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, no Third Party is committing any act of Infringement of any Material Intellectual Property listed on Schedule 3 hereto which could reasonably be expected to materially impair the New Subsidiary’s ability to generate revenue from such Material Intellectual Property.  With respect to each license agreement listed on Schedule 3 hereto, such license agreement (I) is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against the New Subsidiary and, to the New Subsidiary’s knowledge, all other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, (ii) has not been amended or otherwise modified and (iii) has not suffered a material default or breach thereunder. The New Subsidiary has not taken or omitted to take any action that would permit any other Person party to any such license agreement to have, and to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, no such Person otherwise has, any defenses, counterclaims or rights of setoff thereunder. Except as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect or a material adverse effect on any Product Development and Commercialization Activities, (i) the New Subsidiary has not received written notice from any Third Party alleging that the conduct of its business (including the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product) Infringes any Intellectual Property of that Third Party, and (ii) to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, the conduct of the business of the New Subsidiary (including the development, manufacture, use, sale or other commercialization of any Product) does not Infringe any Intellectual Property of any Third Party. The New Subsidiary has not made any assignment or agreement in conflict with the security interest in the Intellectual Property of the New Subsidiary under the Collateral Documents (after giving effect to the exclusion of any Excluded Property from the Collateral) and no license agreement with respect to any such Intellectual Property conflicts with the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Collateral Documents.  The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of any right or protection set forth in the Loan Documents (after giving effect to the exclusion of any Excluded Property from the Collateral) will not constitute a breach or violation of, or otherwise affect the enforceability or approval of, any licenses associated with any Intellectual Property owned or licensed by the New Subsidiary.

 

(e)                                  Schedule 4 hereto includes all Commercial Tort Claims (as defined in the Security Agreement) with a value in excess of $500,000 by or in favor of the New Subsidiary.

other similar rights with respect thereto.  The outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of the New Subsidiary are validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable.  Schedule 6 hereto includes the certificate number and number of shares for each certificate with respect to any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary of the New Subsidiary evidenced by certificates.

 

(h)                                 Set forth on Schedule 7 hereto is a complete and accurate list of all Material Contracts of the New Subsidiary, together with an adequate description of the parties thereto, and amendments and modifications thereto. Each such Material Contract (i) is in full force and effect and is binding upon and enforceable against the New Subsidiary and, to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, all other parties thereto in accordance with its terms, and (ii) is not currently subject to any material breach or default by the New Subsidiary or, to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, any other party thereto. The New Subsidiary has not taken or failed to take any action that would permit any other Person party to any Material Contract to have, and, to the knowledge of the New Subsidiary, no such Person otherwise has, any defenses, counterclaims or rights of setoff thereunder.  Other than agreements entered into after the date hereof (but subject to Section 7.18 of the Credit Agreement), none of such Material Contracts are non-assignable by their terms (other than those certain agreements separately noted in Schedule 7 hereto as being non-assignable) or as a matter of law, or prevent the granting of a security interest therein.

 

(i)                                     Except as described on Schedule 8 hereto, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding commitments or other obligations of the New Subsidiary to issue, and no rights of any Person to acquire, any shares of any Equity Interests of the New Subsidiary.

(k)                                 As of the date hereof, the New Subsidiary does not hold any Instruments (as defined in the Security Agreement), Documents (as defined in the Security Agreement) or Tangible Chattel Paper (as defined in the Security Agreement) required to be pledged and delivered pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement other than as set forth on Schedule 10 hereto.

 

5.                                      The address of the New Subsidiary for purposes of all notices and other communications is the address designated for all Loan Parties on Schedule 11.02 to the Credit Agreement or such other address as the New Subsidiary may from time to time notify the Administrative Agent in writing.

 

6.                                      The New Subsidiary hereby waives acceptance by the Lenders of the guaranty by the New Subsidiary under Article IV of the Credit Agreement upon the execution of this Agreement by the New Subsidiary.

 

7.                                      This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

 

8.                                      THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

(b)                                 Remedies Relating to Accounts.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, whether or not the Administrative Agent has exercised any or all of its rights and remedies hereunder, (i) each Grantor will promptly upon request of the Administrative Agent instruct all account debtors to remit all payments in respect of Accounts to a mailing location selected by the Administrative Agent and (ii) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enforce any Grantor’s rights against its customers and account debtors, and the Administrative Agent or its designee may notify (or require any Grantor to notify) any Grantor’s customers and account debtors that the Accounts of such Grantor have been assigned to the Administrative Agent or of the Administrative Agent’s security interest therein, and may (either in its own name or in the name of a

 

10



 

Grantor or both) demand, collect (including by way of a lockbox arrangement), receive, take receipt for, sell, sue for, compound, settle, compromise and give acquittance for any and all amounts due or to become due on any Account, and, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding to protect and realize upon the security interest of the Secured Parties in the Accounts.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that the Proceeds of its Accounts remitted to or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be solely for the Administrative Agent’s own convenience and that such Grantor shall not have any right, title or interest in such Accounts or in any such other amounts except as expressly provided herein.  The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have no liability or responsibility to any Grantor for acceptance of a check, draft or other order for payment of money bearing the legend “payment in full” or words of similar import or any other restrictive legend or endorsement or be responsible for determining the correctness of any remittance.  Furthermore, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, (A) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make test verifications of the Accounts in any manner and through any medium that it reasonably considers advisable, and the Grantors shall furnish all such assistance and information as the Administrative Agent may require in connection with such test verifications, (B) upon the Administrative Agent’s request and at the expense of the Grantors, the Grantors shall cause independent public accountants or others satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to furnish to the Administrative Agent reports showing reconciliations, aging and test verifications of, and trial balances for, the Accounts and (C) the Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may communicate with account debtors on the Accounts to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Accounts.

 

(c)           Access.  In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to enter and remain upon the various premises of the Grantors without cost or charge to the Administrative Agent, and use the same, together with materials, supplies, books and records of the Grantors for the purpose of collecting and liquidating the Collateral, or for preparing for sale and conducting the sale of the Collateral, whether by foreclosure, auction or otherwise.  In addition, the Administrative Agent may remove Collateral, or any part thereof, from such premises and/or any records with respect thereto, in order to effectively collect or liquidate such Collateral.

 

(d)           Nonexclusive Nature of Remedies.  Failure by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to exercise any right, remedy or option under this Security Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other document relating to the Obligations, or as provided by law, or any delay by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties in exercising the same, shall not operate as a waiver of any such right, remedy or option.  No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing, signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought to be enforced and then only to the extent specifically stated, which in the case of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties shall only be granted as provided herein.  To the extent permitted by law, neither the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties, nor any party acting as attorney for the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties, shall be liable hereunder for any acts or omissions or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than their bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct hereunder, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties may have.

 

(e)           Retention of Collateral.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by

 

11



 

Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC (or any successor section) or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.  Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Obligations for any reason.

 

(f)            Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Grantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency (subject to Section 23 hereof), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Obligations shall be returned to the Grantors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement, and so long as any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted).  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Security Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment.  This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Collateral.

 

(b)           Assignment by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may from time to time assign the Obligations to a successor Administrative Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Security Agreement in relation thereto.

 

(c)           Releases of Collateral.  If any Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Grantor, shall promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases and other documents, and take such other action, reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby or by any other Collateral Document on such Collateral.  If any of the Collateral constituting Intellectual Property is licensed to a third party under, or rights thereto are granted to a third party pursuant to, a license of Intellectual Property permitted by the Credit Agreement, the Liens granted hereunder and under the other Collateral Documents to

 

13



 

such Intellectual Property shall be subject to the rights of such third party to use such Intellectual Property in accordance with the terms of such license.

 

(d)           The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and to account for all proceeds thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Grantors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Grantors.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Collateral.  In the event of a public or private sale of Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to any matters relating to any Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or (ii) taking any steps to clean, repair or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.

 

10.          Application of Proceeds.  Upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of the Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, and each Grantor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

 

11.          Continuing Agreement.

 

(a)           This Security Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect for so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement, and so long as any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time this Security Agreement, and the liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Grantors, execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Grantors evidencing such termination and return to Grantors all Collateral in its possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.

 

(b)           This Security Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided, that, in the event payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Obligations.

 

14



 

12.          Amendments and Waivers; Modifications.  This Security Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that, (a) any update or revision to Schedule 2(c) attached hereto delivered by any Grantor in accordance with the terms hereof, or (b) any amendment to the schedules hereof pursuant to a Joinder Agreement (as contemplated by Section 24 hereof), in each case, shall not constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 12 or Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

13.          Successors in Interest.  This Security Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, none of the Grantors may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

 

14.          Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Security Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

15.          Counterparts.  This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.

 

16.          Headings.  Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Security Agreement.

 

17.          Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue, Service of Process, Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.  The terms of Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement and Section 11.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue, service of process and waiver of the right to a jury trial are each incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

 

18.          Severability.  If any provision of this Security Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Security Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

19.          Entirety.  This Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any proposal letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to the Obligations, or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

 

20.          Survival.  All representations and warranties of the Grantors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations, the delivery of the Notes and the extension of credit thereunder or in connection therewith.

 

15



 

21.          Other Security.  To the extent that any of the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral (including real and other personal property and securities owned by a Grantor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then to the extent permitted by applicable law the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Security Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Obligations.

 

22.          Rights of Required Lenders.  All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

 

23.          Joint and Several Obligations of Grantors.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 23(c), each of the Grantors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Secured Parties, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Grantors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Grantors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 23(c), each of the Grantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Grantors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents relating to the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Grantors without preferences or distinction among them.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or in any other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

 

24.          Joinder.  At any time after the date of this Security Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement.  Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to this Security Agreement as a “Grantor” and have all of the rights and obligations of a Grantor hereunder and this Security Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement.

2.             Pledge and Grant of Security Interest.  To secure the prompt payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse of time, acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise, of the Obligations, each Pledgor hereby grants, pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a continuing security interest in any and all right, title and interest of such Pledgor in and to the following, whether now owned or existing or owned, acquired, or arising hereafter (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

(b)           Additional Shares.  (i) One hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of any Person that hereafter becomes a Domestic Subsidiary (including, without limitation, each Domestic Subsidiary that is a Delaware Divided LLC directly owned by such Pledgor and (ii) sixty-five percent (65) (or such greater percentage that, due to a change in an applicable Law after the date hereof, (1) could not reasonably be expected to cause the undistributed earnings of such Foreign Subsidiary as determined for United States federal income tax purposes to be treated as a deemed dividend to such Foreign Subsidiary’s United States parent and (2) could not reasonably be expected to cause any material adverse tax consequences) of the Voting Equity and one hundred percent (100%) of the Non-Voting Equity of any Person that hereafter becomes a Foreign Subsidiary, in each case, directly owned by such Pledgor, including the certificates (or other agreements or instruments) representing such Equity Interests, and all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, with respect thereto.

 

(c)           Accessions and Proceeds.  All Accessions and all Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing.

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is hereby specifically understood and agreed that a Pledgor may from time to time hereafter deliver additional Equity Interests to the Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Obligations.  Upon delivery to the Administrative Agent, such additional Equity Interests shall be deemed to be part of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and shall be subject to the terms of this Pledge Agreement whether or not Schedule 2(a) is amended to refer to such additional Equity Interests.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the security interests granted under this Pledge Agreement shall not extend to any Excluded Property.

 

3.             Security for Obligations.  The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of each Pledgor constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising.

 

4.             Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.  Each Pledgor hereby agrees that:

 

(a)           Delivery of Certificates.  (i) Such Pledgor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) simultaneously with or promptly following the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, all certificates (if any) representing the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor, and (B) promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of a Pledgor, all other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral of a Pledgor, (ii) prior to delivery to the Administrative Agent, all such certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor shall be held in trust by such Pledgor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto, and (iii) all such certificates and instruments shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a) attached hereto.

 

(b)           Additional Securities.  If such Pledgor shall receive (or become entitled to receive) by virtue of its being or having been the owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) certificate or instrument, including any certificate representing a dividend or distribution in

 

3



 

connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, division, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares or membership or other Equity Interests, stock splits, spin-off or split-off, promissory notes or other instruments, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, conversion of, or an exchange for, any Pledged Collateral or otherwise in respect thereof, (iii) dividends payable in securities, or (iv) distributions of securities or other Equity Interests, cash or other property in connection with a partial or total liquidation, dissolution or reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, then such Pledgor shall accept and receive each such certificate, instrument, option, right, dividend or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall segregate it from such Pledgor’s other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received together with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock power duly executed in blank, substantially in the form provided in Exhibit 4(a), to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

 

(c)           Financing Statements.  Such Pledgor (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing statements (including authorization to describe the Pledged Collatreal as “all assets” or words of similar meaning) disclosing the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, and (ii) agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such financing statements and other filings as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in order to perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

 

5.             Representations and Warranties.  Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, that:

 

(a)           Authorization of Pledged Shares.  The Pledged Shares being pledged by such Pledgor are duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to the preemptive rights of any Person.

 

(b)           Title.  Such Pledgor has good and indefeasible title to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor and is the legal and beneficial owner of such Pledged Collateral free and clear of any Lien, other than nonconsensual Liens of the type permitted by Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement.  There exists no “adverse claim” within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC with respect to the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor.

 

(c)           Exercising of Rights.  (i) The exercise by the Administrative Agent of its rights and remedies hereunder will not violate any Law or governmental regulation applicable to such Pledgor or any material contractual restriction binding on or affecting a Pledgor or any of its property, and (ii) there are no restrictions in any Organization Document governing any Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any document related thereto which would limit or restrict the grant of a Lien pursuant to this Pledge Agreement on such Pledged Collateral, the perfection of such Lien or the exercise of remedies in respect of such perfected Lien in the Pledged Collateral as contemplated by this Pledge Agreement.

 

(d)           Pledgor’s Authority.  No authorization, approval or action by, and no notice or filing with any Governmental Authority or with the issuer of any Pledged Shares or any other Person is required either (i) for the pledge made by such Pledgor or for the granting of the security interest by such Pledgor pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as have been already obtained) or (ii) for the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties of their

 

4



 

rights and remedies hereunder (except as may be required by the UCC or applicable foreign laws or laws affecting the offering and sale of securities).

 

(e)           Security Interest/Priority.  (i) This Pledge Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in the rights of such Pledgor in the Pledged Collateral, and (ii) the taking of possession by the Administrative Agent of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral, together with the taking of possession by the Administrative Agent of duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, will perfect and establish the first priority of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Shares represented by certificates and, when properly perfected by filing a UCC financing statement or registration, in all other Pledged Collateral represented by such Pledged Shares and instruments securing the Obligations to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement.

 

(f)            Partnership and Membership Interests.  None of the Pledged Shares consisting of partnership or limited liability company interests (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an Investment Company Security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

 

(g)           No Other Interests.  As of the date hereof, such Pledgor does not own any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary other than as set forth on Schedule 2(a) attached hereto.

 

6.             Covenants.  Each Pledgor covenants that, so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement, and so long as any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), such Pledgor shall:

 

(a)           Defense of Title.  Warrant and defend title to and ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor at its own expense against the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest therein, keep the Pledged Collateral free from all Liens, except for nonconsensual Liens permitted by Section 8.01 of the Credit Agreement, and not sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any interest therein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b)           Further Assurances.  Promptly execute and deliver at its expense all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary and desirable or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor (including any and all other action reasonably necessary to satisfy the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent has obtained a first priority perfected security interest in all Pledged Collateral), (ii) enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, and (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including and if requested by the Administrative Agent, delivering to the Administrative Agent upon its request following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

 

(c)           Amendments.  Not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or enter into any agreement

 

5



 

or allow to exist any restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor other than as may be permitted under the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)           Compliance with Securities Laws.  File all reports and other information now or hereafter required to be filed by such Pledgor with the SEC and any other state, federal or foreign agency in connection with the ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor.

 

(e)           Books and Records.  Mark its books and records (and shall cause the issuer of the Pledged Shares of such Pledgor to mark its books and records) to reflect the security interest granted pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

 

(f)            Issuance or Acquisition of Equity Interests.  Not, without promptly executing and delivering, or causing to be executed and delivered, to the Administrative Agent such agreements, documents and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (or as required under the Credit Agreement) for the purpose of perfecting its security interest therein, issue or acquire any Equity Interests constituting Pledged Collateral consisting of an interest in a partnership or a limited liability company that (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in a securities market, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a Security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an Investment Company Security, (iv) is held in a Securities Account or (v) constitutes a Security or a Financial Asset.

 

7.             Advances. On failure of any Pledgor to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, perform the same and in so doing may expend such sums as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem advisable in the performance thereof, including the payment of any insurance premiums, the payment of any taxes, a payment to obtain a release of a Lien or potential Lien, expenditures made in defending against any adverse claim and all other expenditures that the Administrative Agent may make for the protection of the security hereof or that the Administrative Agent may be compelled to make by operation of law.  All such sums and amounts so expended shall be repayable by the Pledgors, on demand, on a joint and several basis (subject to Section 23 hereof) promptly upon timely notice thereof and demand therefor, shall constitute additional Obligations and shall bear interest from the date said amounts are expended at the Default Rate.  No such performance of any covenant or agreement by the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Pledgor, and no such advance or expenditure therefor, shall relieve the Pledgors of any Default or Event of Default.  The Administrative Agent may make any payment hereby authorized in accordance with any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or holder of the claim to be discharged without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien, title or claim except to the extent such payment is being contested in good faith by a Pledgor in appropriate proceedings and against which adequate reserves are being maintained in accordance with GAAP.

 

8.             Remedies.

 

(a)           General Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies provided herein, in the Loan Documents, in any other documents relating to the Obligations, or by law (including levy of attachment, garnishment, and the rights and remedies set forth in the UCC of the jurisdiction applicable to the affected Pledged Collateral), the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (regardless of whether the UCC is the law of the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted and regardless of whether the UCC applies to the affected Pledged Collateral.

 

6



 

(b)           Sale of Pledged Collateral.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, without limiting the generality of this Section 8 and without notice, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, sell or otherwise dispose of or realize upon the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, in one or more parcels, at public or private sale, at any exchange or broker’s board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable, for cash, credit or for future delivery or otherwise in accordance with applicable law.  To the extent permitted by law, any Secured Party may in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.  Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law and has not been waived by such Pledgor, any requirement of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice, specifying the place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made, is personally served on or mailed, postage prepaid, to the Borrower, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of sale or such other event giving rise to the requirement of such notice.  The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor regardless of notice of sale having been given.  The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

(c)           Private Sale.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Pledgors recognize that the Administrative Agent may be unable or deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any of the securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Administrative Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such Pledged Collateral to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on other terms less favorable than the prices and other terms that might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sale shall not be deemed for such reason to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay sale of any such Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such Pledged Collateral to register such Pledged Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws.  Each Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such Pledged Collateral that has been publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of New York, New York (to the extent that such offer may be advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) shall be deemed to involve a “public sale” under the UCC, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such Pledged Collateral.

 

(d)           Retention of Pledged Collateral.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, in addition to the rights and remedies hereunder, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuation thereof, the Administrative Agent may, after providing the notices required by Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC (or any successor section) or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations.  Unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have provided such notices, however, the Administrative Agent

 

7



 

shall not be deemed to have accepted or retained any Pledged Collateral in satisfaction of any Obligations for any reason.

 

(e)           Deficiency.  In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties are legally entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable (subject to Section 23 hereof) for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.  Any surplus remaining after the full payment and satisfaction of the Obligations shall be returned to the Pledgors or to whomsoever a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine to be entitled thereto.

 

9.           Rights of the Administrative Agent.

 

(a)           Power of Attorney.  In addition to other powers of attorney contained herein, each Pledgor hereby designates and appoints the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and each of its designees or agents, as attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, irrevocably and with power of substitution, with authority to take any or all of the following actions upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default:

 

(i)            to demand, collect, settle, compromise and adjust, and give discharges and releases concerning the Pledged Collateral, all as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;

 

(ii)           to commence and prosecute any actions at any court for the purposes of collecting any of the Pledged Collateral and enforcing any other right in respect thereof;

 

(iii)          to defend, settle or compromise any action, suit or proceeding brought in respect of the Pledged Collateral and, in connection therewith, give such discharge or release as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate;

 

(iv)          to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Pledged Collateral;

 

(v)           to direct any parties liable for any payment in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral to make payment of any and all monies due and to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct;

 

(vi)          to receive payment of and receipt for any and all monies, claims, and other amounts due and to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Pledged Collateral;

 

(vii)         to sign and endorse any drafts, assignments, proxies, stock powers, verifications, notices and other documents relating to the Pledged Collateral;

 

(viii)        to execute and deliver all assignments, conveyances, statements, financing statements, renewal financing statements, security and pledge agreements, affidavits, notices and other agreements, instruments and documents that the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem appropriate in order to perfect and maintain

 

8



 

the security interests and liens granted in this Pledge Agreement and in order to fully consummate all of the transactions contemplated therein;

 

(ix)          to institute any foreclosure proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate;

 

(x)           to exchange any of the Pledged Collateral or other property upon any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the issuer thereof and, in connection therewith, deposit any of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably appropriate;

 

(xi)          to vote for a shareholder or member resolution, or to sign an instrument in writing, sanctioning the transfer of any or all of the Pledged Collateral into the name of the Administrative Agent or one or more of the Secured Parties or into the name of any transferee to whom the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may be sold pursuant to Section 8 hereof; and

 

(xii)         to do and perform all such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate or convenient in connection with the Pledged Collateral.

 

This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement, and so long as any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted).  The Administrative Agent shall be under no duty to exercise or withhold the exercise of any of the rights, powers, privileges and options expressly or implicitly granted to the Administrative Agent in this Pledge Agreement, and shall not be liable for any failure to do so or any delay in doing so.  The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law in its individual capacity or its capacity as attorney-in-fact except acts or omissions resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. This power of attorney is conferred on the Administrative Agent solely to protect, preserve and realize upon its security interest in the Pledged Collateral.

 

(b)           Assignment by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may from time to time assign the Obligations to a successor Administrative Agent appointed in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and such successor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent under this Pledge Agreement in relation thereto.

 

(c)           The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care.  Other than the exercise of reasonable care to assure the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while being held by the Administrative Agent hereunder and to account for all proceeds thereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that the Pledgors shall be responsible for preservation of all rights in the Pledged Collateral, and the Administrative Agent shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or tendering the surrender of it to the Pledgors.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, which shall be no less than the

 

9



 

treatment employed by a reasonable and prudent agent in the industry, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral.  In the event of a public or private sale of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility for ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters.

 

(d)           Voting Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

 

(i)            So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement or the Credit Agreement; and

 

(ii)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Pledgor of notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Section 9(d), all rights of each Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that such Pledgor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall then have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights.

 

(e)           Dividend Rights in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.

 

(i)            So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and subject to Section 4(b) hereof, each Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends and distributions (other than stock dividends and other dividends and distributions constituting Pledged Collateral addressed hereinabove) or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement.

 

(ii)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Pledgor of notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this Section 9(e):

 

(A)          all rights of each Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and interest payments that it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (i) of this subsection shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon be vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall then have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and

 

(B)          all dividends and interest payments that are received by such Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (ii)(A) of this subsection shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor, and shall be promptly paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.

 

10



 

(f)            Release of Pledged Collateral.  The Administrative Agent may release any of the Pledged Collateral from this Pledge Agreement or may substitute any of the Pledged Collateral for other Pledged Collateral without altering, varying or diminishing in any way the force, effect, lien, pledge or security interest of this Pledge Agreement as to any Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted, and this Pledge Agreement shall continue as a first priority lien on all Pledged Collateral not expressly released or substituted.  If any of the Pledged Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Pledgor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement, then the Administrative Agent, at the request and sole expense of such Pledgor, shall execute and deliver to such Pledgor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Pledged Collateral.

 

10.          Application of Proceeds.  Upon the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement, any payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of the Pledged Collateral, when received by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in cash or its equivalent, will be applied in reduction of the Obligations in the order set forth in Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement, and each Pledgor irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of such payments and proceeds and acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reapply any and all such payments and proceeds in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, notwithstanding any entry to the contrary upon any of its books and records.

 

11.          Continuing Agreement.

 

(a)           This Pledge Agreement shall be a continuing agreement in every respect and shall remain in full force and effect for so long as any Lender shall have any Commitment under the Credit Agreement, and so long as any Loan or other Obligation under the Credit Agreement shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), at which time this this Pledge Agreement, and the liens and security interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be automatically terminated and the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the expense of the Pledgors, execute and deliver all UCC termination statements and/or other documents reasonably requested by the Pledgors evidencing such termination and return to Pledgors all Pledged Collateral in its possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all releases and indemnities provided hereunder shall survive termination of this Pledge Agreement.

 

(b)           This Pledge Agreement shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise under any Debtor Relief Law, all as though such payment had not been made; provided, that, in the event payment of all or any part of the Obligations is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party in defending and enforcing such reinstatement shall be deemed to be included as a part of the Obligations.

 

12.          Amendments and Waivers; Modifications.  This Pledge Agreement and the provisions hereof may not be amended, waived, modified, changed, discharged or terminated except as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided, that, neither any update or revision to Schedule 2(a) delivered by any Pledgor, nor any amendment to the schedules hereof pursuant to a Joinder Agreement (as contemplated by Section 24 hereof) shall constitute an amendment for purposes of this Section 12 or Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

11



 

13.          Successors in Interest.  This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall be binding upon each Pledgor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and their successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, none of the Pledgors may assign its rights or delegate its duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement.

 

14.          Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Pledge Agreement shall be given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

15.          Counterparts.  This Pledge Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Pledge Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Pledge Agreement.

 

16.          Headings.  Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Pledge Agreement.

 

17.          Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Venue, Service of Process, Waiver of Right to Jury Trial.   The terms of Section 11.14 of the Credit Agreement and Section 11.15 of the Credit Agreement with respect to governing law, submission to jurisdiction, waiver of venue, service of process and waiver of the right to a jury trial are each incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the parties hereto agree to such terms.

 

18.          Severability.  If any provision of this Pledge Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

19.          Entirety.  This Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations represent the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, including any proposal letters or correspondence relating to the Loan Documents, any other documents relating to the Obligations or the transactions contemplated herein and therein.

 

20.          Survival.  All representations and warranties of the Pledgors hereunder shall survive the execution and delivery of this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations, the delivery of the Notes and the extension of credit thereunder or in connection therewith.

 

21.          Other Security.  To the extent that any of the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Pledged Collateral (including real and other personal property and securities owned by a Pledgor), or by a guarantee, endorsement or property of any other Person, then to the extent permitted by applicable law the Administrative Agent shall have the right to proceed against such other property, guarantee or endorsement upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, and the

 

12



 

Administrative Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine which rights, security, liens, security interests or remedies the Administrative Agent shall at any time pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of them or the Obligations or any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties under this Pledge Agreement, under any of the other Loan Documents or under any other document relating to the Obligations.

 

22.          Rights of Required Lenders.  All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, if not exercised by the Administrative Agent, may be exercised by the Required Lenders.

 

23.          Joint and Several Obligations of Pledgors.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 23(c), each of the Pledgors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Secured Parties, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Pledgors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Pledgors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.

 

(b)           Subject to Section 23(c), each of the Pledgors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Pledgors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Pledge Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents relating to the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Pledgors without preferences or distinction among them.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in any other of the Loan Documents or in any other documents relating to the Obligations, the obligations of each Guarantor under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents relating to the Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

 

24.          Joinder.  At any time after the date of this Pledge Agreement, one or more additional Persons may become party hereto by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement.  Immediately upon such execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement (and without any further action), each such additional Person will become a party to this Pledge Agreement as a “Pledgor” and have all of the rights and obligations of a Pledgor hereunder and this Pledge Agreement and the schedules hereto shall be deemed amended by such Joinder Agreement.

 

25.          Consent of Issuers of Pledged Shares.  Each issuer of Pledged Shares party to this Pledge Agreement hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees to the grant of the security interest in such Pledged Shares by the applicable Pledgors pursuant to this Pledge Agreement, together with all rights accompanying such security interest as provided by this Pledge Agreement and applicable law, notwithstanding any anti-assignment provisions in any operating agreement, limited partnership agreement or similar organizational or governance documents of such issuer.

KALA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

 

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

Date of Issuance: October 1, 2018

Certificate No. 2018-1

 

THIS IS TO CERTIFY that ATHYRIUM OPPORTUNITIES III ACQUISITION LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and its permitted transferees, successors and permitted assigns (the “Holder”), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, is entitled to purchase from KALA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $12.18456 per share (the “Exercise Price”), at any time after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and expiring on October 1, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), 270,835 shares of the fully paid and non-assessable common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company (as such number may be adjusted as provided herein).  The 270,835 shares of Common Stock which may be purchased pursuant to this Warrant are referred to herein as the “Aggregate Number”.  This common stock purchase warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued under and pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement by and among the Company, the Holder, as Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto from time to time, dated as of October 1, 2018 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

 

The Aggregate Number and Exercise Price set forth above shall also be adjusted under certain conditions specified in Section 5 of this Warrant.  Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 12 hereof, unless otherwise defined herein.

 

SECTION 1.        The Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a)           The Warrant.  This Warrant and the rights and privileges of the Holder hereunder may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part as provided herein, shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement, and, as more fully set forth in Sections 1(b) and 7 hereof, may, subject to the terms of this Warrant, be transferred by the Holder to any other Person or

 



 

Persons who meet the requirements set forth herein and therein at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, regardless of whether the Holder retains any or all rights under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b)           Transfer and Exchanges.  The Company shall initially record this Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company and, subject to Section 7 hereof, from time to time thereafter shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant on such register when surrendered for transfer in accordance with the terms hereof and properly endorsed, accompanied by appropriate instructions, and further accompanied by payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any stamp or other tax or governmental charge or fee required to be paid in connection with the transfer thereof.  Upon any such transfer, a new warrant or warrants shall be issued to the transferee and the Holder (in the event this Warrant is only partially transferred) and the surrendered warrant shall be canceled.  This Warrant may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered at the Principal Office of the Company, for another warrant or other warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock. Any attempt to transfer this Warrant in violation of the provisions of this Section 1(b) shall be null and void and the Company shall not register or effect any such transfer.

 

SECTION 2.        Exercise.

 

(a)           Right to Exercise.  At any time after the Commencement Date and on or before the Expiration Date, the Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof, may exercise this Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by delivering this Warrant to the Company during normal business hours on any Business Day at the Company’s Principal Office, together with the Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed, and payment of the Exercise Price per share for each share purchased, as specified in the Notice of Exercise.  The aggregate Exercise Price (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) to be paid for the shares to be purchased (the “Exercise Amount”) shall equal the product of (i) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price.  If the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(b)           Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price.  Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made to the Company in cash or other immediately available funds or as provided in Section 2(c), or a combination thereof.  In the case of payment of all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(c), the direction by the Holder to make a “Cashless Exercise” shall serve as accompanying payment for that portion of the Exercise Price.

 

(c)           Cashless Exercise.  If the Company shall receive written notice from the Holder at the time of exercise of this Warrant that the Holder elects to make a “Cashless Exercise” of this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to the Holder (without payment by the Holder of any Exercise Price in cash) that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

2



 

 

Where

 

X =          The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

 

Y =          The number of Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation) or, if only a portion of this Warrant is being exercised, the portion of this Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation).

 

A =          The Fair Market Value Per Share.

 

B =          The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculations).

 

(d)           Issuance of Shares of Common Stock.  Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its Principal Office in proper form for exercise, and accompanied by the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered.  Within 10 Business Days after such surrender of this Warrant, delivery of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to issue the Warrant Shares so purchased to the Holder in book-entry format.  Any reference in this Warrant to the issuance of a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall also be deemed a reference to the book-entry issuance of such Warrant Shares.

 

(e)           Fractional Shares.  The Company may, but shall not be required to, deliver fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.  If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant, the Company may, in lieu of delivering such fraction of a share of Common Stock, make a cash payment to the Holder in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Fair Market Value Per Share.

 

(f)            Partial Exercise.  In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof which has not expired.

 

SECTION 3.        Payment of Taxes.  The Company shall pay all stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or issuable pursuant to Section 5 hereof, excluding any tax or taxes which may be payable because of the transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares or other securities issued or delivered upon exercise of this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder.  All transfer taxes payable as a result of such transfer shall be paid by the Holder at the time of its delivery of the Notice of Exercise or promptly upon receipt of a written request by the Company for payment.

 

3



 

SECTION 4.        Replacement Warrant.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest.

 

SECTION 5.        Adjustments to the Aggregate Number and the Exercise Price.

 

Under certain conditions, the Aggregate Number and the Exercise Price are subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 5.

 

(a)           Adjustments.  The Aggregate Number, the Term B Warrant Share Amount (as defined below) and the Exercise Price, after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 5, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and the Exercise Price hereunder.

 

(i)            Stock Dividends; Subdivisions and Combinations.  In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:

 

(A)          issue to all holders of its shares of Common Stock a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”);

 

(B)          subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”); or

 

(C)          combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”);

 

then the Aggregate Number and Term B Warrant Share Amount in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination, and the Exercise Price shall be (1) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Combination.  In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the shares of Common Stock payable in any right to acquire shares of Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire shares of Common Stock.  Any adjustment under this Section 5(a) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination becomes effective, or upon the making of any Stock Dividend.

 

4



 

(ii)           Non-Cash Distributions.  If the Company makes or pays any distribution on the outstanding shares of Common Stock (and not to the Holders of the Warrants) payable in securities or property (other than cash) not covered by Section 5(a)(i) above, then upon exercise or exchange of this Warrant, for each Warrant Share acquired, Holder shall receive, without additional cost to Holder, the total number and kind of securities and property which Holder would have received had Holder owned the Warrant Shares of record as of the date the dividend or distribution occurred.

 

(iii)          Term B Borrowing.

 

(A)          At any time during the Availability Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement), if at the time that the Holder delivers a Notice of Exercise with respect to any or all of the Warrant Shares the Term B Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) have not been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates in whole or in part, the Aggregate Number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant may be exercised pursuant to such Notice of Exercise shall be reduced by 86,175 Warrant Shares (the “Term B Warrant Share Amount”); provided, that such reduction shall not apply to any subsequent Notice of Exercise if, at the time the Holder delivers such subsequent Notice of Exercise, the Term B Loans have, in whole or in part, prior to or concurrently with the delivery of such subsequent Notice of Exercise, been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates.

 

(B)          Upon expiration of the Availability Period, if the Term B Loans have not, in whole or in part, been extended to the Company or any of its Affiliates, the Aggregate Number shall automatically be reduced by the Term B Warrant Share Amount.

 

(iv)          Miscellaneous.  The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments to the Exercise Price, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 5(a):

 

(A)          The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the purposes of this Section 5(a).

 

(B)          In case of the issuance at any time of any additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.

 

(C)          The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5(a) shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the Exercise Price that would otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a Stock Subdivision or Stock

 

5



 

Combination, as provided for in Section 5(a)(i) hereof) unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least $0.01 to or from the Exercise Price immediately prior to the making of such adjustment.  Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 5(a) and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment.  For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.

 

(D)          In computing adjustments under this Section 5(a), fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest one-thousandth of a share.

 

(E)           If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities (whether as a dividend or a distribution or otherwise) and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such Common Stock or Convertible Securities or warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record.

 

(b)           Reclassification or Reorganization.  In case of any reclassification, capital reorganization or recapitalization of the Company (other than as a result of a Stock Dividend, a Stock Subdivision or a Stock Combination provided for in Section 5(a)) that occurs after the Commencement Date, then, as a condition of such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization, lawful provision shall be made, and duly executed documents evidencing the same from the Company or its successor shall be delivered to the Holder, so that the Holder shall thereafter have the right at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant to purchase, at a total price equal to that payable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock and/or other securities or property (including, if applicable, cash) receivable in connection with such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization by a holder of the same number and type of securities as were purchasable as Warrant Shares by the Holder immediately prior to such reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization.  In any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interest of the Holder so that the provisions hereof shall thereafter be applicable with respect to any shares of stock or other securities or property deliverable upon exercise hereof, and appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Exercise Price payable hereunder, provided the Aggregate Exercise Price shall remain the same (and, for the avoidance of doubt, this Warrant shall be exclusively exercisable for such shares of stock and/or other securities or property from and after the consummation of such reclassification or other change in the capital stock of the Company).

 

(c)           Notices.

 

(i)            Notice of Proposed Actions.  If, while this Warrant is outstanding,

 

6



 

the Company (A) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock or makes any other distribution to the holders of its Common Stock, (B) offers to the holders of its Common Stock (in their capacity as stockholder of the Company) rights to subscribe for or to purchase any Convertible Securities, rights to acquire Convertible Securities or Capital Stock or additional shares of Common Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, warrants, rights or options, (C) effects any reclassification of its Common Stock, (D) effects any recapitalization, stock subdivision, stock combination or other capital reorganization, (E) enters into any agreement contemplating, or solicits stockholder approval for, any Change of Control, (F) effects the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (G) effects any other action which would require an adjustment under this Section 5, then in each such case the Company shall give to the Holder written notice of such proposed action, which shall specify the proposed date on which a record is to be taken for the purposes of such stock dividend, distribution, or rights or the proposed date on which such reclassification, reorganization, Change of Control, liquidation, dissolution, winding up or other transaction, is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock, if any such date is to be fixed, or the proposed date on which the transfer of Common Stock is to occur, and shall also set forth such facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the effect of such action on the Common Stock. Such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (A) or (B) above at least 20 calendar days prior to the record date for determining holders of the Common Stock for purposes of such action and, in the case of any other such action, at least 20 calendar days prior to the earlier of the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of participation therein by the holders of Common Stock.

 

(ii)           Adjustment Notice.  Whenever the Exercise Price, the Term B Warrant Share Amount and/or the Aggregate Number is to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, unless otherwise agreed by the Holder, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the event requiring the adjustment) prepare and deliver to the Holder a notice from the Company, setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment is to be calculated.

 

(d)           Treatment of Warrant upon a Change of Control.

 

(i)    In the event of a Change of Control in which the consideration to be received by the Company’s stockholders consists solely of cash, solely of Marketable Securities or a combination of cash and Marketable Securities (a “Cash/Public Change of Control”), if this Warrant is outstanding immediately prior to such Cash/Public Change of Control then (A) if the Fair Market Value Per Share is greater than the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant shall be automatically exchanged without exercise for the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Cash/Public Change of Control if this Warrant had been exercised in full pursuant to Section 2(c) hereof, immediately prior to such Cash/Public Change of Control, and (B) if the Fair Market Value Per Share is less than or equal to the then applicable Exercise Price, this Warrant will expire immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control.  In the event of a Cash/Public Change of Control as set forth in Section 5(d)(i)(A), the Company shall pay or

 

7



 

deliver to the Holder the securities, cash or property contemplated in Section 5(d)(i)(A) promptly following the consummation of the Cash/Public Change of Control.

 

(ii)   If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, the Company consummates a Change of Control that is not a Cash/Public Change of Control, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Change of Control if it had been, immediately prior to such Change of Control, a holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The Company shall not affect any such Change of Control unless prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, any successor to the Company, surviving entity or the corporation purchasing or otherwise acquiring such assets or other appropriate corporation or entity shall assume the obligation to deliver to the Holder, such Alternate Consideration as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Holder may be entitled to purchase, and the other obligations under this Warrant.

 

(iii)  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Company consummates a Change of Control at a time prior to the extension of the Term B Loans, in whole or in part, to the Company or any of its Affiliates, any assumed exercise or exchange of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall exclude the Term B Warrant Share Amount.

 

SECTION 6.        No Dilution or Impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary (including by way of implication), the Company (a) will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable on the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor on such exercise and (b) will take all such action as may be necessary so that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

 

SECTION 7.        Transfers of the Warrant Securities.

 

(a)           Generally.  Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and the restrictions set forth in this Section 7, the Holder may transfer this Warrant and the Warrant Shares in whole or in part to any Person, and, upon the reasonable request of the Holder, the Company agrees that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly assist the Holder in making any such transfer in compliance with any applicable federal and state securities laws.  This Warrant has not been, and the Warrant Shares at the time of their issuance may not be, registered under the Securities Act.  For a transfer of this Warrant as an entirety by Holder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant of the same denomination to the assignee.  For a transfer of this Warrant with respect to a portion of the Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder, upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company, together with the Notice of Assignment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly completed and executed on behalf of the Holder, the Company shall issue a new Warrant to the assignee, in such denomination as shall be requested by the Holder, and shall issue to the Holder a new Warrant covering the number of shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been transferred.

(b)           Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by accepting this Warrant, represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(i)    this Warrant has been acquired and the Warrant Shares will be acquired for the account of the Holder for investment purposes for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution or reselling thereof; and the Holder has no present or contemplated agreement, undertaking, arrangement, obligation, indebtedness or commitment providing for the disposition thereof;

 

(ii)   the Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

 

(iii)  the Holder is experienced in evaluating and investing in companies engaged in businesses similar to that of the Company;

 

(iv)  the Holder understands that investment in the Warrant (and any Warrant Shares it acquires) involves substantial risks and it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investment in the Company and it is able to bear the economic risk of that investment;

 

(v)   prior and as a condition to the sale or transfer of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall furnish to the Company such customary certificates, representations, agreements and other information, including an opinion of counsel, as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent reasonably may require to confirm that such sale or transfer is being made pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, unless such Warrant Shares are being sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement; and

 

(vi)  the Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations this Warrant and the Warrant Shares may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act.

 

(c)           Transfer Restrictions.

 

(i)            Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws and Section 7 hereof, this Warrant (or any warrants represented hereby) may only be sold or transferred, in whole or in part, (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement covering the re-sale by the Holder of this Warrant under the Securities Act or (B) pursuant to a private placement exemption from registration under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 18 hereof, upon the delivery to the Company of a customary opinion of legal counsel (which may rely on customary certificates and representations) stating that

 

9



 

such registration is not required under the Securities Act.  This Warrant (or any warrants represented hereby) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act shall not bear a restrictive legend as set forth in this Warrant or pursuant to this clause.

 

(ii)           Any Warrants Shares may only be sold or transferred (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and, subject to Section 18 hereof, upon the delivery to the Company of a customary opinion of legal counsel (which may rely on customary certificates and representations) stating that such registration is not required under the Securities Act.  The Holder acknowledges that the Company may place a restrictive legend on any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise in order to comply with applicable securities laws, unless such Warrant Shares are otherwise freely tradable under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 

(d)           Registration Rights.  The Company agrees that it shall notify the Holder in writing at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company and excluding, without limitation, any Special Registration Statement) that would be filed before the date that is six (6) months from the Commencement Date, and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of the Warrant Shares. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Warrant Shares held by it shall, within seven (7) Business Days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Warrant Shares by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include any portion of its Warrant Shares in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Warrant Shares in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

SECTION 8.        Covenants.

 

The Company hereby covenants to the Holder that so long as the Holder holds this Warrant:

 

(a)           Validly Issued Shares.  All shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant, assuming full payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price (including those issued pursuant to Section 5 hereof) shall, upon delivery by the Company, be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all stamp taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue or delivery thereof and otherwise free of all other security interests, encumbrances and claims (other than security interests, encumbrances and claims to which the Holder is subject prior to or upon the issuance of the applicable Warrant Shares, restrictions under applicable federal and/or state securities laws and other transfer restrictions described herein).

 

(b)           Reservation of Shares.  The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available

 

10



 

out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued shares, free of preemptive rights, such number of its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as shall be sufficient to enable the Company to issue Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

(c)           Affirmative Actions to Permit Exercise and Realization of Benefits.  If any shares of Common Stock reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of the exercise of this Warrant, or any shares or other securities reserved or to be reserved for the purpose of issuance pursuant to Section 5 hereof, require registration with or approval of any Governmental Authority under any federal or state law (other than securities laws) before such shares or other securities may be validly delivered upon exercise of this Warrant, then the Company covenants that it will, at its sole expense, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be (including but not limited to approvals or expirations of waiting periods required under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act).

 

(d)           No Effect Upon Lending Relationship.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing contained in this Warrant shall affect, limit or impair the rights and remedies of the Holder or any of its Affiliates in its capacity as a lender to the Company pursuant to any agreement under which the Company has borrowed money from the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Holder, for itself or in any capacity with respect to any of its Affiliates in exercising its or its Affiliates’ respective rights as a lender, including making its decision on whether to foreclose on any collateral security, will have no duty to consider (i) its status or the status of any of its Affiliates as a direct or indirect equity holder of the Company, (ii) the equity of the Company or (iii) any duty it may have to any other direct or indirect equity holder of the Company, except as may be required under the Credit Agreement or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally.

 

(e)           Listing of the Warrant Shares.  To the extent applicable, the Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Warrant Shares on the Principal Market after such time as the Warrant Shares are no longer required to contain the legend provided in Section 7, and provide to the Holder evidence of such listing.

 

(f)            Compliance with Rule 144.  The Company shall timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As long as the Holder owns any Warrant Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to the Holder and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144 such information as is required for the Holder to sell Warrant Securities under Rule 144.  So long as the Warrant Securities are not registered under an effective registration statement, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request and is within the Company’s control, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell such Warrant Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

 

(g)           Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Affiliate of the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act)

 

11



 

that would be integrated with the offer or sale of this Warrant in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of this Warrant to the Holder.

 

SECTION 9.        Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that as of the Commencement Date:

 

(a)           The Company has the requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Warrant.  The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Warrant has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and does not (i) contravene the terms of the Company’ s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) in any material respect, conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of, or the creation of any lien under, or require any payment to be made under (x) any Contractual Obligation to which the Company is a party, or (y) any order, injunction, writ or decree of any Governmental Authority or any arbitral award to which the Company is subject.  No approval, consent, exemption, authorization, or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is necessary or required upon (or prior to) the execution, delivery or performance by, or enforcement against, the Company of this Warrant other than those that have already been obtained and are in full force and effect.  This Warrant has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to general principles of equity.

 

(b)           The Company meets the applicable requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act to register securities of the Company.

 

(c)           Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Holder herein, the offer and sale by the Company of this Warrant are not required to be registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act.

Kala Pharmaceuticals Announces Financing from Athyrium Capital Management Totaling $110 Million

 

- Financing provides support for NDA filing of KPI-121 0.25%, INVELTYS launch, and topline results for the STRIDE-3 trial of KPI-121 0.25% -

 

- Initial $75 million tranche funded immediately and additional $35 million of funding available upon either INVELTYS revenue milestone or FDA approval of KPI-121 0.25% for dry eye disease -

 

WALTHAM, Mass.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 2, 2018— Kala Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:KALA), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics using its proprietary mucus-penetrating particle (MPP) technology, today announced the closing of Kala’s $110 million credit facility with funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP, a leading healthcare focused investment firm.

 

“We are pleased to be partnering with Athyrium and to have their support and confidence in INVELTYS for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery and KPI-121 0.25% for dry eye disease,” said Mark Iwicki, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kala Pharmaceuticals. “We expect this financing to support Kala’s efforts to achieve significant milestones, including the NDA filing for KPI-121 0.25% for dry eye disease by the end of 2018, the launch of INVELTYS in early 2019, and topline results for the STRIDE-3 trial of KPI-121 0.25% expected in Q4 2019.”

 

“We are excited about the commercial potential of both INVELTYS for post-surgical inflammation and pain, and KPI-121 0.25% for dry eye disease,” said Laurent D. Hermouet, Partner at Athyrium. “INVELTYS is the first approved BID ocular corticosteroid for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery and has an efficacy, safety and dosing profile which should make it a desirable treatment option in this setting. We are also excited for the potential of KPI-121 0.25% for dry eye disease, and believe, if approved, it could become a standard of care for the treatment of dry eye flares.”

 

Further information with respect to the credit facility are set forth in the Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2018.

 

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC acted as sole structuring agent on the transaction.

 

About INVELTYS™

 

INVELTYS (loteprednol etabonate ophthalmic suspension) 1% is a twice-a-day corticosteroid for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. INVELTYS utilizes Kala’s proprietary Mucus-Penetrating Particle (MPP) technology to enhance penetration into target

 



 

tissues of the eye. In preclinical studies, MPP technology increased delivery of loteprednol etabonate (LE) into ocular tissues compared to current LE products. INVELTYS was approved by the FDA on August 22, 2018. Kala believes INVELTYS has a favorable profile for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery, due to its twice-a-day dosing regimen. A link to the full product label can be found at: www.inveltys.com

 

About KPI-121 0.25%

 

Kala is developing KPI-121 0.25% for the temporary relief of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease utilizing a two-week course of therapy administered four times a day. Dry eye disease is a chronic, episodic, multifactorial disease affecting the tears and ocular surface and can involve tear film instability, inflammation, discomfort, visual disturbance and ocular surface damage. KPI-121 0.25% utilizes Kala’s MPP technology to enhance penetration of LE into target tissue of the eye. Kala has completed one Phase 2 and two Phase 3 clinical trials of KPI-121 0.25%. Kala has initiated a third Phase 3 trial, STRIDE 3, for which topline results are expected in the fourth quarter of 2019. Kala believes that, if approved, KPI-121 0.25%’s broad mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity, rapid onset of relief of both dry eye signs and symptoms, favorable tolerability and safety profile and the potential to complement existing therapies, could result in a favorable profile for the management of dry eye flares and other dry eye associated conditions where short-term treatment is beneficial.

 

About Kala Pharmaceuticals

 

Kala is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapeutics using its proprietary Mucus Penetrating Particle (MPP) technology, with an initial focus on the treatment of eye diseases. Kala has applied the MPP technology to a corticosteroid, LE, designed for ocular applications, resulting in the recent approval of INVELTYS for the treatment of inflammation and pain following ocular surgery. Kala plans to submit a New Drug Application for KPI-121 0.25%, for the temporary relief of the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in the second half of 2018.
