Item 1.01                                            Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On September 2, 2016, Array entered into a Note Purchase Agreement (the “ Note Purchase Agreement ”) with Redmile Capital Offshore Fund II, Ltd. and Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P. (collectively, “ Redmile ”) pursuant to which Array issued to Redmile a Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “ Notes ”) in the aggregate original principal amount of $10,000,000. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 5% per annum and, unless converted or otherwise repaid or satisfied as described below, the principal amount and all accrued interest thereon plus an aggregate exit fee of $3,000,0000 (the “ Repayment Amount ”) is due and payable on September 1, 2017 (the “ Maturity Date ”). If an event of default specified under the Notes occurs, subject to the terms and conditions contained in a Subordination Agreement with Comerica Bank described below, the Note holders may declare the Repayment Amount, and any other amounts payable under the Notes, immediately due and payable.

 

Conversion of the Notes

 

The Notes contemplate that, solely at Array’s choice, Array may elect to form a subsidiary (the “ 797 Subsidiary ”) and contribute certain assets and rights relating to its drug ARRY-797 in exchange for all of the outstanding equity of such 797 Subsidiary. In such event, and if a preferred stock financing of the 797 Subsidiary of at least $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds (excluding conversion of the Note) to bona fide institutional investors other than the Note holders (a “ Qualified Financing ”) closes prior to the Maturity Date, then all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Notes shall convert automatically into the shares of capital stock issued in the Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (A) 80% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs on or prior to March 1, 2017, or 70% of the purchase price of the securities sold in the Qualified Financing if the closing of the Qualified Financing occurs after March 1, 2017, and (B) the price per share calculated in the same manner as the price per share of equity securities sold in the Qualified Financing, but instead based on a pre-money valuation of the 797 Subsidiary of $75,000,000.

 

If Array has not formed the 797 Subsidiary by the Maturity Date or, if a 797 Subsidiary was formed and a Qualified Financing has not closed on or prior to the Maturity Date, then Array shall have the right to convert, on the Maturity Date, the Repayment Amount into shares of a newly established series of Array preferred stock, to be designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a conversion price equal to the average daily volume-weighted average price per share of Array’s common stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. The shares issued upon any such conversion shall be subject to an aggregate cap equal to 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Array’s common stock, on an as-converted basis, on the Maturity Date.

 

Other Repayment Provisions

 

If, solely at Array’s choice, prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, Array sells or transfers substantially all of the assets and rights relating to ARRY-797 to a third party other than the holders of the Notes or any of its affiliates (a “ 797 Sale ”), then upon the closing of such 797 Sale and in full satisfaction of the Notes, Array shall pay to the Note holders an amount equal to the greater in the aggregate of (i) $20,000,000 or (ii) 15% of the fair market value of the consideration actually paid to Array or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates or stockholders), subject to an aggregate $100,000,000 cap.

 

If, solely at Array’s choice, Array enters into an agreement with a third party other than the holders of the Notes or any of their affiliates to license ARRY 797 on an exclusive basis for the development and commercialization of ARRY-797 in all fields of use in the United States and any other territories (a “ Qualified 797 License ”) prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, then upon entering into such Qualified 797 License and in full satisfaction of the Notes, Array shall pay to the Note holders an amount in the aggregate equal to 50% of

 

1



 

the first $50,000,000 in aggregate milestone or royalty payments actually paid to Array or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates) and an amount in the aggregate equal to 20% of any subsequent milestone or royalty payments actually paid to Array or the 797 Subsidiary (or any of their respective affiliates or stockholders), as the case may be, thereafter pursuant to such Qualified 797 License; subject to an aggregate cap of $100,000,000. In addition, if solely at its choice Array enters into an exclusive license for the development and commercialization of ARRY-797 to a third party in one or more territories that do not include the United States, the Note holders have the right to elect to treat such license agreement as a “Qualified 797 License” by giving Array written notice of such election with five business days of the effective date of the license agreement.

 

If all or substantially all of the assets of Array or other change in control of Array specified in the Notes occurs prior to the closing of a Qualified Financing or other conversion or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes, then upon the closing of such transaction and in full satisfaction of the Notes, at the third party acquirer’s option, Array shall either: (i) pay to the Note holders a cash amount in the aggregate equal to $40,000,000; or (ii) (A) pay to the Note holders a cash amount in the aggregate equal to $25,000,000; and (B) grant, or cause to be granted, a right of first refusal to the Note holders to acquire the 797 Subsidiary or the 797 Assets, as the case may be.

 

All payments under the Notes described above will be made on a pro rata basis in proportion to the principal amounts outstanding under each Note as of the date of any such payment, subject to the aggregate caps set forth in the foregoing description.

 

Registration Rights

 

If Array elects to convert the Notes into shares of Series A Preferred Stock as described above, Array has agreed in the Note Purchase Agreement to register such shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”), on a registration statement on Form S-3. In such event, Array must file the registration statement on the Maturity Date and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective as promptly as possible after such filing, but no later than 75 days after the Maturity Date. Array may suspend the availability of the registration statement for up to 90 days for no more than 45 days in any 12-month period for any bona fide reason. If Array defaults on certain of its obligations relating to the registration of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Array must pay an amount in the aggregate equal to 5% of the purchase price of the Notes to which the affected registered shares relate. Array has agreed to pay all costs and expenses associated with the registration of the Series A Preferred Stock and, with certain exceptions, to indemnify the holders of shares registered on any such registration against liabilities relating to any such registration.

 

Subordination

 

The obligations of Array under the Notes have been subordinated to the obligations of Array under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 28, 2005, as amended, with Comerica Bank pursuant to a Subordination Agreement by and among Array, Redmile and Comerica Bank.

 

The Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement are filed as exhibits to this Form 8-K, and the description of the terms of the Notes and Note Purchase Agreement contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes and Note Purchase Agreement as so filed.

 

Amendment to Comerica Loan Agreement

 

Also on September 2, 2016, Array amended its Loan and Security Agreement dated June 28, 2005, as amended, with Comerica Bank pursuant to a Fourteenth Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement (the “ Amendment ”). The Amendment amends the calculation of the Liquidity Ratio that Array is required to maintain under the Loan and Security Agreement to exclude all subordinated debt from the calculation. A copy of the Amendment is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment as so filed.

 

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

 

The information required by this Item 2.03 relating to the Notes is contained in Item 1.01 above and is incorporated herein by reference.

As described above, at Array’s election, the Notes are convertible into shares of a newly established class of Preferred Stock of Array, to be designated as Series A Preferred Stock, if a Qualified Financing

or repayment or other satisfaction in full of the Notes or other conversion of the Notes does not occur prior to the Maturity Date. The description of the conversion provisions of the Notes contained in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference herein. If issued, the Series A Preferred Stock shall be non-voting and each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall convert, at the election of the holder thereof, into one share of Common Stock of Array, subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like. On a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Array, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that remain outstanding will be entitled to be paid, before any payment is made to the holders of the Common Stock and out of funds legally available therefor, a liquidation preference equal to $0.01 per share. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation that has been approved by the Board of Directors and which will be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the event Array elects to convert the Repayment Amount into such shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The Notes and any securities that may be issuable upon conversion of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and are being issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(d)           If the Maker fails to pay any of the principal or interest hereunder when due and payable on the Maturity Date and an action is instituted to collect this Note, the Maker promises to pay all costs and reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred in connection with such action.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(i)                                      notwithstanding Section 6.1 , the Company, upon written notice to the Investors, shall be permitted to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for any bona fide reason whatsoever for up to 15 consecutive days (the “ Deferral Period ”) in any 90-day period without being obligated to pay liquidated damages; provided , that Deferral Periods may not total more than 45 days in the aggregate in any twelve-month period.  The Company shall not be required to specify in the written notice to the Investors the nature of the event giving rise to the Deferral Period; and

 

(ii)                                   the Company may, by written notice to the Investors, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the Investors immediately cease the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition, sale or similar transaction and the Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the Company (other than as relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to maintain a Registration Statement at such time or (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend sales under such registration at such time.  Upon receipt of such notice, each Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until such Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used.

 

In no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company or is no longer in the best interests of the Company.  The Company’s rights under this Section 6.1(e)  may be exercised for a period of no more than 60 calendar days at a time and not more than two times in any twelve-month period, without such suspension being considered as part of an Event Payment determination.  Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 6.1(e) , the Company shall take all necessary actions (including filing any required supplemental prospectus) to restore the effectiveness of the applicable Registration Statement and the ability of the Investors to publicly resell their Registrable Securities pursuant to such effective Registration Statement.

 

6.2        Registration Procedures .  In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall:

 

17



 

(a)   Not less than three Trading Days prior to the filing of a Registration Statement or any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish via email to those Investors who have supplied the Company with email addresses copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (or at the request of one or more Investors, only certain sections thereof), which documents (other than any document that is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of such Investors.  The Company shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding the Investors and the plan of distribution as the Investors may reasonably and promptly propose no later than two Trading Days after the Investors have been so furnished with copies of such documents as aforesaid.

 

(b)   (i) Subject to Section 6.1(e) , prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective, as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; and (iii) comply in all material respects with the provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investors thereof set forth in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c)   Notify the Investors as promptly as reasonably possible, and if requested by the Investors, confirm such notice in writing no later than two Trading Days thereafter, of any of the following events:  (i) the SEC notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of any Registration Statement; (ii) any Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment is declared effective; (iii) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (v) the financial statements included in any Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any Registration Statement or Prospectus or other document contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(d)   Use its commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

 

(e)   If requested by an Investor, provide such Investor, without charge, at least one conformed copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the SEC.

 

(f)    Promptly deliver to each Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the applicable Investors in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus

 

18



 

and any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal and state securities laws and regulations.

 

(g)   (i) In the time and manner required by the Trading Market, prepare and file with the Trading Market an additional shares listing application covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Registrable Securities to be approved for listing on the Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to each Investor evidence of such approval; and (iv) except as a result of the Excluded Events, during the Effectiveness Period, maintain the listing of such Registrable Securities on the Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

 

(h)   Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the applicable Investors in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Investor requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required, but not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided , however , that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

 

(i)    Cooperate with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Investors may reasonably request.

 

(j)    Upon the occurrence of any event described in Sections 6.2(c)(v) , as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

(k)   Cooperate with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by the Investors in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, by making available documents and information to the extent reasonably requested by the Investors; provided that the Company will not deliver or make available to any Investor material, nonpublic information, unless such Investor requests in advance in writing to receive material, nonpublic information and agrees to keep such information confidential.

 

(l)    Comply in all material respects with all rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the registration of the Registrable Securities.

 

(m)  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any particular Investor or to make any Event Payments set forth in Section 6.1(c) to such Investor that such Investor furnish to the Company and such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities and other shares of Common

 

19



 

Stock held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it (if different from the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit C hereto) as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall complete and execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(n)   Not identify any Investor as an underwriter without its prior written consent in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Trading Market or any Eligible Market and any Investor being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit C in the Registration Statement.  In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company has received a comment by the SEC requiring an Investor to be named as an underwriter in the Registration Statement (which notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts of the Company is not withdrawn by the SEC) and such Investor elects in writing not to be named as a selling stockholder in the Registration Statement, each Investor shall not be entitled to any Event Payments with respect to such Registration Statement.

 

6.3  Registration Expenses .  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with Article VI of this Agreement by the Company, including without limitation (a) all registration and filing fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, the Trading Market, any required filing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (other than by any Investor) and in connection with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading Market.

 

6.4  Indemnification

 

(a)   Indemnification by the Company .  The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls any such Investor (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or relating to any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished in writing to the Company by such Investor for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Investor or such Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor expressly for use in the Registration Statement (it being understood that the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit C , as the same may be modified by such Investor and other information provided by each Investor to the Company in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents constitutes information reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement) (the “ Investor Information ”), or (B) with respect to any prospectus, if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such prospectus was corrected on a timely basis in the prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such

 

20



 

corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company to the Investor, and the Investor seeking indemnity hereunder was advised in writing not to use the incorrect prospectus prior to the use giving rise to Losses.

 

(b)   Indemnification by Investors .  Each Investor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against all Losses arising solely out of any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions constitute Investor Information.  In no event shall the liability of any selling Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)   Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings .  If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “ Indemnified Party ”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless:  (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed within 45 days of receiving notification of a Proceeding from an Indemnified Party to assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party).  It being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding (including separate Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed by a majority of the Indemnified Parties.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified

 

21



 

Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding.

 

All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within 20 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

 

(d)   Contribution .  If a claim for indemnification under Section 6.4(a ) or (b ) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission.  The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d ) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4(d ), no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the proceeds actually received by such Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f ) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

6.5  Dispositions .  Each Investor agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and shall sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with the Plan of Distribution set forth in the Prospectus.  Each Investor further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Sections 6.2(c)(iii ), (iv ) or (v ), such Investor will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus, or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used.  The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the

 

22



 

provisions of this paragraph.  Each Investor with the other Investors, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that each Investor will comply with the provisions of this subsection.

 

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS

 

7.1  Termination .  This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or any Investor, by written notice to the other parties, if the Closing has not been consummated by the third Business Day following the date of this Agreement; provided that no such termination will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

7.2  Fees and Expenses .  Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that at the Closing, the Company will pay the Investors’ reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

7.3  The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of their applicable Securities.

 

7.4  Entire Agreement .  The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.  At or after the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Investors such further documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

 

7.5  Notices .  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (b) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile or email at the facsimile number or email address specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (c) the Trading Day following the date of deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.  The addresses and email addresses for such notices and communications are those set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address or email address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by any such Person.

 

7.6  Amendments; Waivers .  No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company and each of the Investors or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waiver is sought.  No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

 

23



 

7.7        Equal Treatment of Investors .  No consideration (including any modification of any Transaction Document) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to such Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Investor by the Company and negotiated separately by each Investor, and is intended for the Company to treat the Investors as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Investors acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Securities or otherwise.

 

7.8        Construction .  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

7.9        Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Investors.  The Investors may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

7.10                                                 Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement .  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Company and each Investor and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person, other than those persons mentioned in the preceding sentence or otherwise explicitly mentioned in this Agreement, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement, or any provisions herein contained, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of such persons and for the benefit of no other person; except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 6.4 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of such Sections directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

 

7.11                                                 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial .  ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR HEREUNDER, IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE COMPANY OR ANY INVESTOR, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, OR THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY

 

24



 

WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.  THE COMPANY AND INVESTORS HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

 

7.12                                                 Survival .  The representations and warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing.

 

7.13                                                 Execution .  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

 

7.14                                                 Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties.  The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

7.15                                                 Rescission and Withdrawal Right .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Investor exercises a right, election, demand or option owed to such Investor by the Company under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then, prior to the performance by the Company of the Company’s related obligation, such Investor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

7.16                                                 Replacement of Securities .  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith.  The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.

 

7.17                                                 Remedies .  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Investors and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents.

Re:                              Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes of Array BioPharma Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I am the Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of Array BioPharma Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  I am providing this opinion in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and between you and the Company, relating to the sale by the Company to you of an aggregate of $10,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Notes”). This opinion is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

 

In rendering the opinions stated herein, I have examined and relied upon the following:

 

(a)                                  an executed copy of the Note Purchase Agreement;

 

(b)                                  executed copies of certificates representing the Notes, each dated as of the date hereof (the “Note Certificates”), registered in the name of Redmile Capital Offshore Fund II, Ltd. and Redmile Biopharma Investments I, L.P., respectively;

 

(c)                                   a copy of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, certified by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as of February 18, 2016;

 

B- 1



 

(d)                                  a copy of the Company’s bylaws, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof;

 

(e)                                   a copy of certain resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company, adopted on August 31, 2016;

 

(f)                                    a copy of a certificate, dated August 13, 2016, and a bringdown verification thereof, dated the date hereof, from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Company’s existence and good standing in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Certificate”); and

 

(g)                                   copies of each of the contracts, agreements or instruments filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits pursuant to Item 601(b)(4) or (10) of Regulation S-K to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 (the “Reviewed Agreements”).

 

I have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to my satisfaction, of such records of the Company, and such agreements, certificates and receipts of public officials, certificates of officers or other representatives of the Company and others, and such other documents as I have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions stated below.

 

In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, including endorsements, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to me as facsimile, electronic, certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies. As to any facts relevant to the opinions stated herein that I did not independently establish or verify, I have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others and of public officials, including the factual representations and warranties contained in the Transaction Agreements (as defined below).

 

I am admitted to the Bar in the States of New York, California and Colorado.  I do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the laws of the State of New York, (ii) the federal laws of the United States of America and (iii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”).

 

The Note Purchase Agreement and the Note Certificates are referred to herein collectively as the “Transaction Agreements.” As used herein, “Organizational Documents” means those documents listed in paragraphs (c) and (d) above.

 

Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated herein, I am of the opinion that:

 



 

1.                                       Based solely on my review of the Delaware Certificate, the Company is duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the DGCL.

 

2.                                       The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under each of the Transaction Agreements.

 

3.                                       Each of the Transaction Agreements has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Company under the DGCL.

 

4.                                       The Note Purchase Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

 

5.                                       When issued and delivered by the Company against payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement, each Note Certificate will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of New York.

 

6.                                       The Company has authority to issue 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

7.                                       Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the consummation by the Company of the issuance and sale of the Notes, the issuance of any Preferred Stock (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Note Certificates (“Conversion Preferred Shares”), nor the issuance of any Underlying Shares (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) (“Conversion Preferred Shares”): (i) conflicts with the Organizational Documents or (ii) constitutes a violation of, or a default under, any Reviewed Agreement.

 

8.                                       Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Agreements nor the consummation by the Company of the issuance and sale of the Notes, the issuance of any Conversion Preferred Shares upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Note Certificates nor the issuance of any Conversion Preferred Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations: (i) violates any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America or (ii) requires the consent, approval, licensing or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority under any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York or the United States of America, except for those consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations already obtained and those filings, recordings and registrations already made.

 



 

9.                                       Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of you in Section 3.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement and the due performance by you of the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes to you in the manner contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement do not require registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); and the Conversion Preferred Shares and Conversion Common Shares may be delivered to holders of Notes and Preferred Stock, respectively, without registration under the Securities Act provided that no commission or other remuneration is paid or given directly or indirectly for soliciting such conversion, and provided further that the Conversion Preferred Shares and Conversion Common Shares so deliverable are not exchanged in a case under Title 11 of the United States Code.

 

The opinions stated herein are subject to the following qualifications:

 

(h)                                  the opinions stated herein are limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);

 

(i)                                      except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, I do not express any opinion with respect to the effect on the opinions stated herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of any party to any of the Transaction Agreements with any laws, rules or regulations applicable to such party or (ii) the legal status or legal capacity of any party to any of the Transaction Agreements;

 

(j)                                     I do not express any opinion with respect to any law, rule or regulation that is applicable to any party to any of the Transaction Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereby solely because such law, rule or regulation is part of a regulatory regime applicable to any such party or any of its affiliates as a result of the specific assets or business operations of such party or such affiliates;

 

(k)                                  except as set forth in opinion paragraph 8, I do not express any opinion with respect to any securities, antifraud, derivatives or commodities laws, rules or regulations or Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System;

 

(l)                                      except to the extent expressly stated in the opinions contained herein, I have assumed that each of the Transaction Agreements constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each party to such Transaction Agreement, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms;

 

(m)                              the opinions stated herein are limited to the agreements specifically identified in the opinions contained herein without regard to any agreement or other document referenced in such

 



 

agreement (including agreements or other documents incorporated by reference or attached or annexed thereto);

 

(n)                                  I do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision contained in any Transaction Agreement relating to any indemnification, contribution, exculpation, release or waiver that may be contrary to public policy or violative of federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations;

 

(o)                                  I do not express any opinion with respect to the enforceability of any provision contained in any Transaction Agreement purporting to prohibit, restrict or condition the assignment of rights under such Transaction Agreement to the extent that such prohibition, restriction or condition on assignability is ineffective pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code;

 

(p)                                  I do not express any opinion with respect to any provision of any Transaction Agreement to the extent that such section provides for a waiver of trial by jury;

 

(q)                                  I call to your attention that irrespective of the agreement of the parties to any Transaction Agreement, a court may decline to hear a case on grounds of forum non conveniens or other doctrine limiting the availability of such court as a forum for resolution of disputes;  in addition, I call to your attention that I do not express any opinion with respect to the subject matter jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States of America in any action arising out of or relating to any Transaction Agreement;

 

(r)                                     the enforceability of provisions imposing a payment obligation pending the ability of the Company to comply timely with its registration obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement may be limited by applicable laws;

 

(s)                                    I do not express any opinion with respect to the second sentence of Section 7(a) of the Note Certificates; and

 

(t)                                     to the extent that any opinion relates to the enforceability of the choice of New York law and choice of New York forum provisions contained in any Transaction Agreement, the opinions stated herein are subject to the qualification that such enforceability may be subject to, in each case, (i) the exceptions and limitations in New York General Obligations Law sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 and (ii) principles of comity and constitutionality.

 

This opinion is furnished only to you and is solely for your benefit in connection with the closing occurring today and the offering and sale of the Notes, in each case pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement.  Without my prior written consent, this opinion may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to for any other purpose or relied upon by, or assigned to, any other

 



 

person for any purpose, including any other person that acquires any Notes, Conversion Preferred Shares or Conversion Common Shares or that seeks to assert your rights in respect of this opinion (other than your successor in interest by means of merger, consolidation, transfer of a business or other similar transaction).

 

 

 

Very truly yours,

 

 

 

 

 

John R. Moore

 



 

Exhibit C

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions.  These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.  The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

·                   ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

·                   block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

·                   purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

·                   an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

·                   privately negotiated transactions;

 

·                   short sales;

 

·                   broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

·                   a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

·                   any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales.  Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated.  The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.  Any profits on the resale of shares of common stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.  Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder.  The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales.  In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on

 

C- 1



 

the resale of the shares of common stock purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.

 

We are required to pay our fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of common stock.  We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders have advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of common stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of common stock by any selling stockholder.  If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of common stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus.  If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of common stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

 

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may apply to sales of our common stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

Exhibit D

 

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

 

The common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the preferred stock.  For additional information regarding the issuances of the common stock and the preferred stock, see “Private Placement of Purchased Notes and Preferred Stock” above.  We are registering the common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time.  Except for the ownership of the shares of common stock, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by each of the selling stockholders.  The second column lists the number of common stock beneficially owned by each selling stockholder, based on its ownership of the preferred stock, as of         , 20   , assuming conversion of the preferred stock held by the selling stockholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises.

 

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

opinion of counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock (and shares of its common stock for issuance on conversion of such preferred stock, if applicable).

(c)                                   any representation, warranty, certificate, or other statement (financial or otherwise) made or furnished by or on behalf of the Maker in writing in connection with this Note or any of the other Transaction Documents, or as an inducement to the original Holder to enter into this Note and the other Transaction Documents, shall be false, incorrect, incomplete or misleading in any material respect when made or furnished;

 

(d)                                  the Maker files any petition or action for relief under any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or moratorium law or any other law for the relief of, or relating to, debtors, now or hereafter in effect, or seeks the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee (or other similar official) of the Maker or all or any substantial portion of the Maker’s assets, or makes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or takes any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing, or fails to generally pay its debts as they become due; or

 

(e)                                   an involuntary petition is filed, or any proceeding or case is commenced, against the Maker (unless such proceeding or case is dismissed or discharged within 60 days of the filing or commencement thereof) under any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, adjustment of debt, liquidation or moratorium statute now or hereafter in effect, or a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors (or other similar official) is applied or appointed for the Maker or to take possession, custody or control of any property of the Maker, or an order for relief is entered against the Maker in any of the foregoing.

ii.                                        Failure to Deliver Conversion Shares .  If, in the case of any Notice of Conversion, such Conversion Shares are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such Conversion Shares and after the Share Delivery Date, to rescind the election of such Conversion, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to the Holder any original Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation.

 

iii.                                     Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion . The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Preferred Stock), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 7) upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock.  The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

iv.                                    Fractional Shares . No fractional shares representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price.

 

v.                                       Transfer Taxes and Expenses .  The issuance of Conversion Shares on conversion of this Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall

 



 

not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.  The Corporation shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required doe same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.

 

d)              Beneficial Ownership Limitation .  The Corporation shall not effect any conversion of the Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to the conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any Persons acting as a group together with such Holder or any of such Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, unconverted shares of Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 6(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of how many shares of Preferred Stock are convertible shall be in the sole discretion of such Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be such Holder’s determination of whether the shares of Preferred Stock may be converted (in relation to other securities owned by such Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and how many shares of the Preferred Stock are convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. To ensure compliance with this restriction, each Holder will be deemed to represent to the Corporation each time it delivers a Notice of Conversion that such Notice of Conversion has not violated the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such

 



 

determination.  In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 6(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the most recent of the following: (i) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (ii) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (iii) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request (which may be via email) of a Holder, the Corporation shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 9.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder.  A Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 6(d) applicable to its Preferred Stock provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 19.9% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 6(d) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61 st  day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation and shall only apply to such Holder and no other Holder.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 6(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of Preferred Stock.

 

Section 7 .                                            Certain Adjustments .

 

a)                                      Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Corporation, at any time while this Preferred Stock is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of, or payment of a dividend on, this Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues, in the event of a

 



 

reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

b)                                      Subsequent Rights Offerings . In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 7(a) above, if at any time the Corporation grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder of will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such Holder’s Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance, to the extent permissible, for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

c)                                       Pro Rata Distributions . During such time as this Preferred Stock is outstanding, if the Corporation declares or makes any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “ Distribution ”), at any time after the issuance of this Preferred Stock, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Preferred Stock (without regard to any limitations on conversion hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of

 



 

which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution ( provided , however , to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance, to the extent permissible, for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).

 

d)                                      Assumption of Obligations .  Upon the consummation of (i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination) as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets; (ii) the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to a person or group of persons acting together; or (iii) any merger or consolidation of the Company into or with another person or entity (each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Acquisition”), the acquiring, surviving or successor entity (if other than the Company) shall assume the obligations of the Preferred Stock, and, in the case of any Acquisition where the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive cash, securities or other property (“Reference Property”) for their shares of Common Stock, the Preferred Stock shall (unless previously converted) thereafter be convertible, with respect to each share of Preferred Stock, into type and amount of Reference Property as would have been received for each share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Preferred Stock as if such share of Common Stock were outstanding on and as of the closing of such Acquisition (the “Successor Consideration”) (subject to further adjustment pursuant to this Section 7).  The provisions of this Section 7(d) shall similarly apply to successive Acquisitions.

 

e)                                       Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

 

f)                                        Notice to the Holders .

 

i.                                           Adjustment to Conversion Price .  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after

 



 

such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

 

ii.                                        Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder .  If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder shall remain entitled to convert the Conversion Amount of this Preferred Stock (or any part hereof) during the 5 Business Day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.

The parties desire to amend the Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.             The following defined term in Section 1.1 of the Agreement hereby is amended and restated as follows:

 

“Liquidity Ratio” means (A) (i) Borrower’s total Cash at Bank and Cash at Approved Outside Accounts, minus (ii) all Obligations owing from Borrower to Bank under the Refinance Term Loan, minus (iii) all Subordinated Debt, plus (iv) eighty percent (80%) of Eligible Accounts, plus (v) fifty percent (50%) of Equipment Value, plus (vi) thirty five percent (35%) of Eligible Inventory, divided by (B) the aggregate outstanding amount under the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided that the calculation of Eligible Inventory Value and/or Equipment Value shall be subject to a collateral audit by Bank.
