Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 28, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors and the holders of the common stock warrants previously issued on February 22, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell to the investors 14,033,829 shares of our common stock (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,508,448 shares of our common stock (the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $4.308 per share (the “Private Placement”). For each Share purchased, the investors will receive a Warrant to purchase 0.25 of a share of common stock. The Warrants will expire on March 2, 2017 and may be exercised for cash or, if the current market price of our common stock is greater than the per share exercise price, by surrender of a portion of the Warrant in a cashless exercise. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares and the Warrants to be sold in the Private Placement will be approximately $50.8 million.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to file, within 45 days after the closing of the Private Placement, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to register for resale the Shares and the shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of both the Warrants and the warrants we previously issued on February 22, 2012 (the “Prior Warrants”), which registration statement is required under the Purchase Agreement to become effective no later than 90 days following the closing (or 120 days following the closing if the SEC reviews or has written comments to the registration statement). We will be required to pay liquidated damages of 1.5% of the purchase price of the Shares, the Warrants and the Prior Warrants per month (up to a cap of 10%) if we do not meet certain obligations with respect to the registration statement.

The Purchase Agreement includes representations, warranties, covenants and closing conditions customary for transactions of this type. The securities issued in the Private Placement will be sold pursuant to the exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder. At the request of The NASDAQ Stock Market, we are also in the process of confirming the book value per share of our common stock prior to February 28, 2012. We expect, subject to completion of our audit for the 2011 fiscal year, that as of December 31, 2011, our book value per share was no higher than the per share price at which the Shares will be sold in the Private Placement.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and the form of Warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively.

We are also filing as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3 10.4 and 4.2 to this report the Loan and Security Agreement, Guaranty and Security Agreement, Amendment to Investors’ Rights Agreement and the form of Prior Warrant, respectively, which were each described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 22, 2012.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected closing of the Private Placement and our receipt of proceeds from the sale of securities in the Private Placement, the anticipated filing of a registration statement to cover the resale of certain of our securities and our expected book value per share as of December 31, 2011.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

March 2, 2012

Void After March 2, 2017

THIS CERTIFIES THAT , for value received, [            ], with its principal office at [                    ], or permitted assigns (the “Holder” ), is entitled to subscribe for and purchase at the Exercise Price (defined below) from Horizon Pharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at 520 Lake Cook Road, Suite 520, Deerfield, Illinois 60015 (the “Company” ) up to [            ] shares of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Common Stock” ), subject to adjustment as provided herein. This Warrant is one of a series of Warrants being issued pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated February 28, 2012, by and among the Company and the original Holder of this Warrant and the other parties named therein (the “Purchase Agreement” ). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

1.      DEFINITIONS. As used herein, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:

(a) “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on March 2, 2012 and ending March 2, 2017, unless sooner terminated as provided below.

(b) “Exercise Price” shall mean $4.308 per share, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

(c) “Exercise Shares” shall mean the shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms herein, including but not limited to adjustment pursuant to Section 5 below.

2.    EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

2.1 Method of Exercise. The rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the Exercise Period, by delivery of the following to the Company at its address set forth above (or at such other address as it may designate by notice in writing to the Holder):

(a) An executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto; and

(b) Payment of the Exercise Price either (i) in cash or by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (ii) pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, as described below.

 

1


2.2 Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding any provisions herein to the contrary, if, at any time during the Exercise Period, the Current Market Price (as defined below) of one share of Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), in lieu of exercising this Warrant by payment of cash, the Holder may exercise this Warrant by a cashless exercise by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with the properly endorsed Notice of Exercise and the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

   X =      Y (B-A)
              B
Where:    X =      the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder.
   Y =      the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of all of the Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised.
   A =      the Exercise Price.
   B =      the Current Market Price of one share of Common Stock.

“Current Market Price” means on any particular date:

(a) if the Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market, the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on such market on the Trading Day prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(b) if the Common Stock is traded on any registered national stock exchange but is not traded on The Nasdaq Global Market or The Nasdaq Capital Market, the closing price of the Common Stock of the Company on such exchange on the Trading Day prior to the applicable date of valuation;

(c) if the Common Stock is traded over-the-counter, but not on The Nasdaq Global Market, The Nasdaq Capital Market or a registered national stock exchange, the closing bid price of the Common Stock of the Company on the day prior to the applicable date of valuation; and

(d) if there is no active public market for the Common Stock, the value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company upon due consideration of the proposed determination thereof by the Holder.

2.3 Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant, execute and deliver, within 10 days of the date of exercise, a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder, or such other person as shall be designated in the Notice of Exercise, to purchase the balance of the Exercise Shares purchasable hereunder. In no event shall this Warrant be exercised for a fractional Exercise Share, and the Company shall not distribute a Warrant exercisable for a fractional Exercise Share. Fractional shares shall be treated as provided in Section 6 hereof.

2.4 No Settlement for Cash. Except as provided in Section 5.3, this Warrant cannot be settled with the Company for cash.

2.5 [Reserved .]

2.6 Delivery of Shares. Exercise Shares acquired hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within three Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been validly exercised. Such Exercise Shares shall be in certificated form and bear an appropriate restrictive legend unless otherwise required under the terms of the Purchase Agreement. The person in whose name any Exercise Shares are to be issued upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the date on which this Warrant was validly exercised, irrespective of the date of issuance of the shares of Common Stock, except that, if the date of such valid exercise is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open.

 

2


2.7 Failure to Deliver Exercise Shares . If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder Exercise Shares pursuant to Section 2.6 by noon, Eastern Standard Time, on the third Trading Day after the date of a valid exercise of this Warrant, then the Company shall,

(a) at the option of the Holder, either,

(i) rescind such exercise and reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Exercise Shares for which such exercise was not honored, in lieu of delivering such Exercise Shares; or

(ii) deliver to the Holder the Exercise Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder; and

(b) if after noon, Eastern Standard Time, on the third Trading Day the Holder or the Holder’s brokerage firm purchases shares of the same class and series as the Exercise Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Exercise Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In” ), pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which,

(i) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares so purchased, exceeds

(ii) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Exercise Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise, by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

The Holder shall provide the Company prompt written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of any Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company (a “Buy-In Notice” ). The Company shall pay the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of any Buy-In within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the Buy-In Notice.

3.    COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

3.1 Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that it will at all times during the Exercise Period, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant. All Exercise Shares will, upon issuance, be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If at any time during the Exercise Period the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (or other securities as provided herein) to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes.

3.2 No Impairment . Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as such may be amended from time to time), or through any means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.

3.3 Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to (a) receive any dividend (other than a Common Stock dividend subject to Section 5.1) or (b) vote with respect to a capital reorganization of the Company, a reclassification, recapitalization or exchange of the capital stock of the Company, a consolidation or merger of the Company

 

3


with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another Person, or a voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then the Company shall mail to the Holder, at least ten Trading Days prior to such record date, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or vote.

3.4 Automatic Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary other than Section 2.5, to the extent this Warrant remains exercisable and is exercisable pursuant to Section 2.2, this Warrant shall be deemed to be fully exercised pursuant to Section 2.2, without the need for any action by the Holder or the Company, immediately prior to the end of the Exercise Period; provided, however , that notwithstanding any other provision hereof or in the Purchase Agreement, the Company may delay the delivery of Exercise Shares pursuant to such an automatic exercise until the Holder delivers to the Company a certification substantially in the form of Section 3 of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto.

4.    REPRESENTATIONS OF HOLDER.

4.1 Acquisition of Warrant for Personal Account. The Holder represents and warrants that it is acquiring the Warrant and the Exercise Shares solely for its account for investment and not with a present view toward the public distribution of said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any part thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing said Warrant or Exercise Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of said Warrant or, except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement, the Exercise Shares, and except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Holder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Warrant except in accordance with the Securities Act and will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) the Exercise Shares except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 of the Purchase Agreement or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

4.2 Securities Are Not Registered.

(a) The Holder understands that the offer and sale of the Warrant or the Exercise Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of the Company is to be effected. The Holder realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, the Holder has a present intention of acquiring the securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the securities. The Holder has no such present intention.

(b) The Holder recognizes that the Warrant and the Exercise Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder recognizes that the Company has no obligation to register the Warrant or, except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, the Exercise Shares.

4.3 Disposition of Warrant and Exercise Shares.

(a) The Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any part of the Warrant or Exercise Shares in any event unless and until:

(i) The Company shall have received a letter secured by the Holder from the SEC stating that no action will be recommended to the SEC with respect to the proposed disposition;

(ii) There is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with said registration statement; or

(iii) The Holder shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, the Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably

 

4


satisfactory to the Company, for the Holder to the effect that such disposition will not require registration of such Warrant or Exercise Shares under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws; provided, that no opinion shall be required for any disposition made or to be made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144.

(b) The Holder understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Exercise Shares to be issued to the Holder may bear a legend in substantially the following form; provided , that such legend shall be removed (or such Exercise Shares shall be issued without such legend upon exercise of this Warrant) as required pursuant to Section 3.8(b) of the Purchase Agreement:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.

5.    CERTAIN ADJUSTMENTS.

5.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances. In the event the Company pays a dividend in Common Stock or makes a distribution in Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock; subdivides its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares; combines its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or issues any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Exercise Price shall be correspondingly adjusted to give the Holder of the Warrant, on exercise for the same aggregate Exercise Price, the total number, class, and kind of shares as the Holder would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had the Holder continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment. The form of this Warrant need not be changed because of any adjustment in the number, class, and kind of shares subject to this Warrant. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from its Chief Financial Officer notifying the Holder in writing of any adjustment in the Exercise Price and/or the total number, class, and kind of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, which certificate shall specify the Exercise Price and number, class and kind of shares under this Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment.

5.2 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock subject to Section 5.1), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property” ), then in each such case the Holder shall be entitled upon exercise of this Warrant for the purchase of any or all of the Exercise Shares, to receive the amount of Distributed Property which would have been payable to the Holder had such Holder been the holder of such Exercise Shares on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to such Distributed Property. The Company will at all times set aside and keep available for distribution to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant a portion of the Distributed Property to satisfy the distribution to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence. The Company shall promptly provide a certificate from its Chief Financial Officer notifying the Holder in writing of any distributions to which this Section 5.2 applies.

5.3 Fundamental Transactions.

(a) If the Company consummates (i) a merger or consolidation with or into another entity, as a result of which the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities as of immediately prior to such merger or consolidation hold less than a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or successor entity as of immediately after such merger or consolidation or (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all its property, assets or business to another person or entity (any such transaction being hereinafter referred to as a “Fundamental Transaction” ), then the

 

5


Company shall ensure that lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions herein specified and in lieu of the Exercise Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such shares of stock, securities or assets as would have been issuable or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of Exercise Shares equal to the number of Exercise Shares immediately theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, had such Fundamental Transaction not taken place. The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or other dispositions.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Fundamental Transaction (i) constitutes or results in a “going private” transaction as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the Exchange Act or (ii) pursuant to the operation of Section 5.3(a), results in this Warrant being exercisable, in whole or in part, for securities of a Person not traded on an Eligible Market, then the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will redeem this Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash on the closing date of such Fundamental Transaction, equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the closing date of such Fundamental Transaction. “Black Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant based on the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model obtained from the “OV” function on Bloomberg determined as of the day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Fundamental Transaction and reflecting (i) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of such date and (ii) an expected volatility equal to the 30-day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg as of the Trading Day immediately prior to such day.

6.      FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant as a consequence of any adjustment pursuant hereto. All Exercise Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, pay the Holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the product resulting from multiplying the then current fair market value of an Exercise Share by such fraction.

7.      NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. This Warrant in and of itself shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.

8.      TRANSFER OF WARRANT. Subject to applicable laws and compliance with Section 4.3 hereof, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon delivery of this Warrant and the form of assignment attached hereto to any transferee designated by Holder. The transferee shall sign an investment letter in form and substance satisfactory to the Company.

9.      LOST, STOLEN, MUTILATED OR DESTROYED WARRANT. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

10.      MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER. This Warrant and any provision hereof may be waived, modified or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the Company and the Holder.

11.      NOTICES, ETC. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed email, telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address listed on the signature page and to the Holders at the addresses on the Company records, or at such other address as the Company or Holder may designate by ten days’ advance written notice to the other party hereto.

 

6


12.     ACCEPTANCE. Receipt of this Warrant by the Holder shall constitute acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms and conditions contained herein.

13.     GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant and all rights, obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflict of laws.

14.     DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. The language in this Warrant shall be construed as to its fair meaning without regard to which party drafted this Warrant.

15.     SEVERABILITY. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Warrant in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction, or affect any other provision of this Warrant, which shall remain in full force and effect.

16.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Warrant constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the subject matter contained in it and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, and undertakings of the parties, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter.

HORIZON PHARMA, INC.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK

THIS WARRANT CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [    ] and its registered permitted assigns (the “ Holder ”) are entitled to purchase from Horizon Pharma, Inc. (the “ Company ”), in whole or in part and at the times set forth below, up to [                ] shares (the “ Warrant Shares ”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“ Common Stock ”), at an exercise price per share of $0.01 (the “ Exercise Price ”). The number of Warrant Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable and the Exercise Price are each subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. Capitalized terms used herein, but not defined in the body of this Warrant, have the meanings given in Annex I .

 

1. Term .

This Warrant shall become exercisable on the Initial Exercisability Date and, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.3 and 4.3(a) , shall expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on January 22, 2017 (the “ Expiration Time ”).

 

2. Method of Exercise; Net Exercise; Automatic Exercise; Exercise Limitations .

2.1(a) Method of Exercise . The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by:

 

  (i)

the delivery to the Company of an executed notice of exercise, in the form attached hereto as Attachment A (which may be by facsimile), an Investment Representation Statement, in the form attached hereto as Attachment B (which may be by facsimile) and, if required pursuant to Section 2.1(b) , the original of this Warrant


  or a proper Certificate of Loss (collectively, the “ Exercise Documents ”); and

 

  (ii) subject to Section 2.2 , the payment to the Company, by certified check or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the Exercise Price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares then being purchased (such aggregate amount of money, the “ Purchase Price ”);

provided that this Warrant shall be exercisable only pursuant to the Conversion Right set forth in Section 2.2 if, on the date of exercise, the Exercise Price is less than the par value per Warrant Share.

(b) Book Entry; Physical Delivery of Warrant . The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant upon exercise, unless the Holder is purchasing all of the Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant. If the Holder is purchasing the full amount of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall, pursuant to Section 2.1(a), (i) physically surrender the original copy of this Warrant or (ii) if the original of this Warrant is lost, deliver to the Company a certification to such effect and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (a “ Certificate of Loss ”). The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Warrant upon exercise. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant or any new Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this Section 2.1(b) , following exercise of any portion of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares which may be purchased upon exercise may be less than the number of Warrant Shares set forth on the face hereof. The Holder agrees to furnish to any assignee of this Warrant the Holder’s records showing the number of Warrant Shares previously purchased hereunder and the dates of such purchases, if any.

2.2 Net Exercise . The Holder may elect to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant into Warrant Shares, the aggregate value of which Warrant Shares shall be equal to the value of this Warrant or the portion thereof being converted (the “ Conversion Right ”). The Conversion Right may be exercised by the Holder by delivery to the Company of the Exercise Documents, together with notice of the Holder’s intention to exercise the Conversion Right. Upon exercise of the Conversion Right, the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

X = Y(A - B)

        A

 

Where

   X    =    The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder upon exercise of its Conversion Right.
   Y    =    The number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Conversion Right is being exercised.

 

2


  

A

   =    The Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share, as determined at the time the Conversion Right is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.2 .
  

B

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

2.3 Automatic Exercise . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent this Warrant remains exercisable, this Warrant shall be deemed to be fully exercised pursuant to the Conversion Right, without the need for any action by the Holder or the Company, immediately prior to the Expiration Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Warrant pursuant to Section 4.3(a) ; provided , however, that notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company may delay the delivery of Warrant Shares until the Holder delivers to the Company an Investment Representation Statement, in the form attached hereto as Attachment B with respect to such exercise.

2.4 Conditional Exercise . Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.

2.5 Exercise Mechanics .

(a) Delivery of New Warrant . In the event that this Warrant is being exercised for less than all of the Warrant Shares, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall, promptly after the physical delivery of the original of this Warrant (or a Certificate of Loss) to the Company, issue a new Warrant exercisable for the remaining number of Warrant Shares, and such new Warrant shall be deemed to be an “original” hereof.

(b) Rights as Shareholder . Upon delivery to the Company of the Exercise Documents, together with, if applicable, the aggregate Purchase Price, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the applicable number of Warrant Shares, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates or book entries representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder.

(c) Listing . If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of this Warrant require listing on the Principal Market before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company will, at its expense and as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to cause such shares to be duly approved for listing or listed on the Principal Market.

(d) Governmental Filings and Approvals . The Company shall reasonably assist and cooperate with the Holder to make any governmental filings or obtain any governmental approvals prior to or in connection with any exercise of this Warrant (including, without limitation, making any filings required to be made by the Company).

 

3


(e) Taxes and Other Expenses of Exercise . The Company shall pay any and all documentary stamp, duty, registration or similar issue or transfer taxes and expenses payable in respect of the Company’s issuance or delivery of the Warrant Shares, and the issuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any such taxes or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

(f) Delivery of Share Certificates . The Holder exercising its purchase rights in accordance with Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 shall be entitled to receive a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares so purchased. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be delivered to the Holder within three Trading Days after the date on which this Warrant shall have been validly exercised. Such Warrant Shares shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend unless either (i) at the time of such issuance, a registration statement (as defined in the Securities Act) covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is then effective and the Holder delivers to the Company a representation that the Warrant Shares to be issued were transferred pursuant to such effective registration statement and in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; (ii) the Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise are being issued pursuant to a cashless exercise and the Holder delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such Warrant Shares have been transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) the Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise are being issued pursuant to a cashless exercise and the Holder delivers to the Company together with the Exercise Documents an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that the Warrant Shares issued upon such exercise are freely transferable without volume and manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including in compliance with Rules 144(b)(1)(ii) and 144(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act). If any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence is satisfied at the time of such issuance, and if the Holder shall have so requested in a writing delivered to the Company together with the Exercise Documents, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided , that the Company shall have no obligation to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation.

(g) Failure to Deliver Share Certificates . If the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, pursuant to this Section 2.5(g) (but subject to Section 2.3 ) by noon, Eastern Standard Time, on the third Trading Day after the date of the valid exercise of this Warrant, then the Company shall,

 

  (i) at the option of the Holder, either,

 

  (A) rescind such exercise and reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored, in lieu of delivering such Warrant Shares and certificates for such Warrant Shares; or

 

4


  (B) deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder; and

 

  (ii) if after noon, Eastern Standard Time, on such third Trading Day the Holder or the Holder’s brokerage firm purchases shares of the same class and series as the Warrant Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), pay in cash to the Holder the amount by which,

 

  (A) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares so purchased, exceeds

 

  (B) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise, by (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed.

The Holder shall provide the Company prompt written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of any Buy-In, together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Company (a “ Buy-In Notice ”). The Company shall pay the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of any Buy-In within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the Buy-In Notice.

Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing common shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided , however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored and (ii) receive such Warrant Shares or the value thereof.

3. Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Warrant Shares; Avoidance of Warrant Terms .

All shares of stock which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all liens and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof, except for liens and encumbrances imposed upon the Holder and restrictions on transfer provided for herein or under applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company covenants that during the period the Warrant is exercisable, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the valid exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company

 

5


will take all reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any law or regulation applicable to the Company, or of any requirements of the Principal Market.

The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will,

(a) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the Exercise Price then in effect;

(b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant; and

(c) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.

4. Adjustment of Number of Warrant Shares .

The number of and kind of securities and other property purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Exercise Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

4.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Other Issuances . If the Company shall, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of this Warrant,

(a) pay a dividend in Common Stock or make a distribution in Common Stock to holders of its outstanding Common Stock;

(b) subdivide its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(c) combine its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or

(d) issue any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Common Stock;

then the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

 

6


4.2 Reclassification, Reorganization and Exchange . Subject to Section 4.3 , if the Company shall, at any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of this Warrant,

(a) reorganize its capital;

(b) reclassify its capital stock; or

(c) exchange its capital stock;

and such reorganization, reclassification or exchange affects the class and series of capital stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive upon exercise of this Warrant (in lieu of the shares of capital stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of this Warrant), the kind and number of securities and property which it would have owned or have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such event. An adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

4.3 Fundamental Transaction .

(a) If the Company engages in a Fundamental Transaction in which the sole consideration is cash or the right to receive cash, this Warrant shall terminate on and as of the closing of such Fundamental Transaction, subject to Section 2.3 hereof. The Company shall provide the Holder with written notice of any proposed Fundamental Transaction described in this Section 4.3(a) not later than 10 Trading Days prior to the closing thereof setting forth the material terms and conditions thereof, and shall provide the Holder with such information respecting such proposed Fundamental Transaction as may reasonably be requested by the Holder, subject to any confidentiality obligations to third parties with respect to such information.

(b) Upon the closing of any Fundamental Transaction other than as particularly described in Section 4.3(a) , (i) this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable for the same kind and number of securities and property which the Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such closing and (ii) the successor or acquiring entity (the “ Acquiring Entity ”) shall expressly assume all the obligations and liabilities of the Company hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined in good faith by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable pursuant to clause (i) (disregarding any limitations on exercisability pursuant to Section 1 ). The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3(b) shall similarly apply to successive Fundamental Transactions.

4.4 Dividends . If the Company declares or pays a dividend (except for (a) a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock and (b) any dividend consisting of rights which are not immediately exercisable and are attached to and not immediately separable from shares of Common Stock, provided that the Company makes provisions for such rights to attach to shares of Common Stock issued thereafter and while such rights remain outstanding (“ Non-Separable Rights ”)) on its outstanding shares of Common Stock not covered by Section 4.1 , Section 4.2 , or

 

7


Section 4.5 (a “ Dividend ”), then the Company shall pay to the Holder at the time of payment thereof the Dividend which would have been paid to the Holder had the exercisable portion of this Warrant (disregarding any limitations on exercisability pursuant to Section 1 ) been fully exercised on a cashless basis immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for such Dividend, or, if no record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of stock entitled to such dividends are to be determined.

4.5 Purchase Rights . If no adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 would otherwise result, if at any time the Company grants the right to acquire or otherwise offers to all or substantially all holders of record of its outstanding Common Stock on a pro rata basis, shares of Common Stock, Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “ Purchase Rights ”), the Holder shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder would have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Warrant Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of the exercisable portion of this Warrant (disregarding any limitations on exercisability pursuant to Section 1 ) on a cashless basis immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant or offer of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant or offer of such Purchase Rights. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Holder shall not be entitled to the Purchase Rights granted herein with respect to any Excluded Issuances.

4.6 Adjustment of Exercise Price . Upon each such adjustment of the kind and number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company which are purchasable hereunder, the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to purchase the number of Warrant Shares or other securities resulting from such adjustment at an Exercise Price per Warrant Share or other security obtained by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable pursuant hereto immediately prior to such adjustment (disregarding any limitations on exercisability pursuant to Section 1 ) and dividing by the number of Warrant Shares or other securities of the Company resulting from such adjustment.

4.7 Notice of Adjustment . (a) When any adjustment is required to be made in the number or kind of shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrant, or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall promptly notify the holder of such event.

(b) In addition, if at any time:

 

  (i) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right;

 

  (ii)

there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification, recapitalization or exchange of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all

 

8


  the property, assets or business of the Company to, another entity; or

 

  (iii) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

then, in any one or more of such cases to the extent there is not a resulting adjustment to this Warrant or grant of Purchase Rights pursuant to Sections 4.1 , 4.2 , 4.3 , 4.4 or 4.5 or to the extent a stockholder vote is to be solicited for purposes of approving such action, the Company shall give to the Holder (i) at least 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice of the record date for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 Trading Days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

4.8 Investors’ Rights Agreement . This Warrant and all Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are and shall become subject to, and have the benefit of, the Investors’ Rights Agreement.

5. Fractional Warrant Shares .

No fractional Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Fair Market Value of one Warrant Share.

6. Transferability of Warrant .

Subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in the legend endorsed hereon, this Warrant may be transferred or assigned to any Person in whole or in part without the prior consent of the Company, at the address set forth on the signature pages hereto, by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender of (a) the original of this Warrant together with an assignment form and (b) any other documentation reasonably necessary to satisfy the Company that such transfer is in compliance with all applicable securities laws; provided , however that the Holder may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of any portion of this Warrant to a third party not affiliated with the Holder with respect to the lesser of (x) 100,000 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits, consolidations and the like) and (y) all remaining Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is then exercisable.

 

9


7. No Rights as Stockholder .

Except as expressly set forth in this Warrant, no Holder of this Warrant shall be entitled to vote or be deemed the holder of Common Stock for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value or change of stock to no par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until this Warrant has been exercised.

8. Governing Law .

The terms and conditions of this Warrant (including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Warrant) shall be governed by the law of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.

9. Closing of Books .

The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner not in the ordinary course with the primary intention of preventing the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.

10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .

The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of a Certificate of Loss, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant, and such new Warrant shall be deemed to be an “original” hereof.

11. Representations and Warranties of Holder.

11.1 Purchase for Own Account . This Warrant and the securities to be acquired upon exercise of this Warrant by Holder will be acquired for investment for Holder’s account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Holder also represents that it has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring this Warrant or the Warrant Shares.

11.2 Investment Experience. Holder understands that the purchase of this Warrant and its underlying securities involves substantial risk. Holder has experience as an investor in securities of companies similar to the Company and acknowledges that Holder can bear the economic risk of such Holder’s investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in this Warrant and its underlying securities and/or has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its

 

10


officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables Holder to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons.

11.3 Accredited Investor Status. Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

11.4 No Registration. Holder understands that this Warrant and the securities issuable upon exercise or conversion hereof have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Holder’s investment intent as expressed herein. Holder understands that this Warrant and the Warrant Shares issued upon any exercise or conversion hereof must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and qualified under applicable state securities laws, or unless exemption from such registration and qualification are otherwise available.

12. Miscellaneous .

(a) Notices . All notices, demands or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Warrant shall be in writing and delivered personally, mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, sent via a nationally recognized overnight courier, or via facsimile. Such notices, demands and other communications will be sent to the addresses set forth on the signature pages hereto or such other address or to the attention of such other person (including any transfer agent) as the recipient party shall have specified by prior written notice to the sending party; provided that, the failure to deliver copies of notices as indicated above shall not affect the validity of any notice. Any such communication shall be deemed to have been received (i) when delivered, if personally delivered or sent by nationally recognized overnight courier or sent via facsimile or (ii) on the third Business Day following the date on which the piece of mail containing such communication is posted if sent by certified or registered mail.

(b) Removal of Legend; Transfer Restrictions . The transfer restrictions imposed by the legend endorsed on this Warrant and/or any Warrant Shares shall cease and terminate (i) when a registration statement (as defined in the Securities Act) covering the resale of the Warrant and /or Warrant Shares, as applicable, and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is then effective and the Holder has transferred the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, pursuant to such effective registration statement and in compliance with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act; (ii) when, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, have been transferred in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) when, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, the Warrant and/or Warrant Shares, as applicable, are freely transferable without volume and manner of sale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (including in compliance with Rules 144(b)(1)(ii) and 144(d)(1)(ii) under the Securities Act). Whenever such restrictions shall cease and terminate as to this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder thereof (or such Holder’s permissible transferee) shall be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, a new Warrant containing the same terms as this Warrant, or new certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, in each case not bearing a legend with respect to transfer restrictions, and such new Warrant shall

 

11


be deemed to be an “original” hereof. The Company shall, within three Business Days after a valid written request therefor, deliver such new Warrants or new certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares, as applicable, to the Holder in accordance with this paragraph; provided , however, that with respect to Warrant Shares as to which the continuing need for any legend has ceased and terminated as provided for in this paragraph, if the Holder shall have so requested in writing, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver, within three Business Days after a written request therefor, the Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions, if available, provided, that the Company shall have no obligation to change its transfer agent if its current transfer agent cannot deliver Warrant Shares electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation.

(c) Saturday, Sundays and Holidays . If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday.

(d) Non-Waiver and Expenses; Dispute Resolution Fees; Specific Performance . No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to the Holder upon any breach or default of the Company under this Warrant shall impair any such right, power, or remedy of the Holder, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent, or approval of any kind or character on the part of the Holder of any breach or default under this Warrant, or any waiver on the part of the Holder of any provisions or conditions of this Warrant, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing or as provided in this Warrant. Except as otherwise provided herein, all remedies, either under this Warrant or by law or otherwise afforded to the Holder, shall be cumulative and not alternative. If any action at law or in equity is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Warrant, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate. For the sake of clarity, no party will be entitled to specific performance and monetary damages for the same damage or loss.

(e) Limitation of Liability . No provision hereof, in the absence of the Holder’s exercise (including an automatic exercise pursuant to Section 2.3 ) of this Warrant or purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, to the extent such liability is asserted by, on behalf of or through the Company.

 

12


(f) Warrant Exchangeable for Different Denominations . This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender of the original hereof or a Certificate of Loss by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for new Warrants of same tenor representing in the aggregate the purchase rights hereunder, and each such new Warrant shall represent such portion of such rights as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender. The date the Company initially issues this Warrant shall be deemed to be the “Date of Issuance” hereof regardless of the number of times new certificates representing the unexpired and unexercised rights formerly represented by this Warrant shall be issued. All Warrants representing portions of the rights hereunder are referred to herein as the “ Warrants ” and each shall be deemed to be an “original” hereof.

(g) Successors and Assigns . This Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.

(h) Amendment . This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

(i) Severability . Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.

(j) Headings . The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

(k) Waiver of Jury Trial . Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Warrant is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l) CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS . EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH BELOW SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION IN THIS PARAGRAPH.

(m) Counterparts . This Warrant may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.

The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted by it or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the issuance of the Securities) have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its stockholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

2.3 Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, as of January 31, 2012, consisted of 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of which 19,627,744 shares were issued and outstanding, and 10,000,000 shares of blank check Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, none of which have been designated.

2.7 Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, the Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are effective in all material respects to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including any consolidated Subsidiaries, is made known to its chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities.

2.9 Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the Company that if determined adversely to the Company would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Neither the Company, nor any director or officer thereof, is or has been the subject of any action involving a claim of violation of or liability under federal or state securities laws or a claim of breach of fiduciary duty relating to the Company. There has not been, and to the knowledge of the Company, there is not pending or contemplated, any investigation by the SEC of the Company or any current or former director or officer of the Company. The Company has not received any stop order or other order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement filed by the Company under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act and, to the Company’s knowledge, the SEC has not issued any such order.

2.11 Placement Agents. The Company has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, placement agent’s fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for dealings with the Placement Agents, whose commissions and fees will be paid by the Company.

2.12 Investment Company. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities, will not be an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act” ). The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

6


such Securities or any arrangement or understanding with any other persons regarding the sale or distribution of such Securities except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 and except as would not result in a violation of the Securities Act. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Securities except in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 or pursuant to and in accordance with the Securities Act.

3.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws.

3.3 Information. The Purchaser has been furnished with all relevant materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company necessary to make an investment decision, and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities, that have been requested by the Purchaser, including, without limitation, the Company’s SEC Documents, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to review the SEC Documents. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the SEC Documents and the Company’s representations and warranties contained in the Agreement.

3.4 Acknowledgement of Risk.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation, (i) an investment in the Company is speculative, and only Purchasers who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (ii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iii) transferability of the Securities is extremely limited; (iv) in the event of a disposition of the Securities, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (v) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. Such risks are more fully set forth in the SEC Documents;

(b) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Securities for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Securities; and

(c) The Purchaser has, in connection with the Purchaser’s decision to purchase Securities, not relied upon any representations or other information (whether oral or written) other than as set forth in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein and the SEC Documents, and the Purchaser has, with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the offer and sale of the Securities, relied solely upon the advice of such Purchaser’s own counsel and has not relied upon or consulted any counsel to the Placement Agents or counsel to the Company.

3.5 Governmental Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or an investment therein.

3.6 Transfer or Resale. The Purchaser understands that:

(a) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act (other than as contemplated in Article 6) or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Securities may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Securities is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, as contemplated in Article 6; (ii) the Purchaser has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration; or (iii) the Securities are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144;

 

7


(b) any sale of the Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and

(c) except as set forth in Article 6, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the resale of the Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

3.7 Legends.

(a) The Purchaser understands the certificates representing the Securities will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, OR UNLESS OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE LAWS. THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH OPINION IS REQUIRED PURSUANT TO THAT CERTAIN SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT UNDER WHICH THE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED.

(b) To the extent the resale of Shares or Warrant Shares is registered under the Securities Act pursuant to an effective Registration Statement naming the holder thereof as a selling stockholder, the Company agrees to promptly (i) authorize the removal of the legend set forth in Section 3.8(a) and any other legend not required by applicable law from such Shares and/or Warrant Shares and (ii) cause its transfer agent to issue such Shares and/or Warrant Shares without such legends to the holder thereof by electronic delivery at the applicable balance account at the Depository Trust Company upon surrender of any stock certificates evidencing such Shares or Warrant Shares. Any fees (with respect to the Company’s transfer agent, counsel or otherwise) associated with the removal of such legend(s) shall be borne by the Company. The Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that to the extent resales of the Shares or Warrant Shares are made pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, that such resales will be made only during the time that such Registration Statement is effective and not withdrawn or suspended and only as permitted by such Registration Statement, and otherwise in compliance with the Securities Act (including applicable prospectus delivery obligations).

(c) The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares and Warrant Shares (i) following any sale of the Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (ii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144 following the expiration of the one-year holding requirement under subparagraphs (b)(1)(i) and (d) thereof. Following the time a legend is no longer required for the Shares or Warrant Shares under this Section 3.8(c), the Company will, no later than three Business Days following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such securities, deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

3.8 Authorization; Enforcement. The Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, this Agreement shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

3.11 Acknowledgements Regarding Placement Agents. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Placement Agents are acting as the exclusive placement agents on a “best efforts” basis for the Securities being offered hereby and will be compensated by the Company for acting in such capacity. The Purchaser represents that (i) the Purchaser, unless affiliated with a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Placement Agent (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Purchaser entered into a confidentiality agreement and (ii) to its knowledge no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising.

3.12 Beneficial Ownership. Assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representation in Section 2.3 hereof and assuming that no additional shares of capital stock have been issued by the Company since January 31, 2012, the purchase by such Purchaser of the Shares and Warrants hereunder will not result in such Purchaser (individually or together with any other Person with whom such Purchaser has identified, or will have identified, itself as part of a “group” in a public filing made with the SEC involving the Company’s securities) acquiring, or obtaining the right to acquire, in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing shall have occurred. Such Purchaser does not presently intend to, alone or together with others, make a public filing with the SEC to disclose that it has (or that it together with such other Persons have) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, as a result of the purchase by such Purchaser of the Shares and Warrants hereunder (when added to any other securities of the Company that it or they then own or have the right to acquire), in excess of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the voting power of the Company on a post-transaction basis that assumes that the Closing has occurred.

3.13 Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Shares and Warrants, it was, and at the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 510(a) of the Securities Act.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

6.1 As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date” ), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities with the SEC for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415, or if Rule 415 is not available for offers and sales of the Registrable Securities, by such other means of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities may reasonably specify (the “Initial Registration Statement” ). The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form). In the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to

 

11


promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof, (ii) use its reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (iii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement” ), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering;  provided, however , that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities on the Initial Registration Statement. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements” ). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of damages in Section 6.3, if the SEC limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), any required cutback of Registrable Securities shall be applied to the Holders pro rata in accordance with the number of such Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Registration Statement by reference to the amount of Registrable Securities set forth opposite such Holder’s name on Exhibit A and/or Exhibit B (and in the case of a subsequent transfer, the initial Holder’s) relative to the aggregate amount of all Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 after such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

6.2 All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by or on behalf of Holders shall be borne by such Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of securities so registered.

6.3 The Company further agrees that, in the event that (i) the Initial Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC within 45 days after the Closing Date, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Deadline, or (iii) after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, it is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, other than, in each case, within the time period(s) permitted by Section 6.7(b) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (a “Registration Default” )), for all or part of any thirty-day period (a “Penalty Period” ) during which the Registration Default remains uncured (which initial thirty-day period shall commence on the fifth Business Day after the date of such Registration Default if such Registration Default has not been cured by such date), the Company shall pay to each Holder 1.5% of such Holder’s aggregate purchase price of his or her Shares, Warrant Shares and/or Debt Warrant Shares, as applicable, that remain Registrable Securities for which such Registration Statement is required to be effective and for which there is not otherwise an effective Registration Statement at such time, for each Penalty Period during which the Registration Default remains uncured; provided, however, that if a Holder fails to provide the Company with any information that is required to be provided in such Registration Statement with respect to such Holder as set forth herein, then the commencement of the Penalty Period described above with respect to such Holder shall be extended until two Business Days following the date of receipt by the Company of such required information from such Holder; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement more than 1.5% of such Holder’s aggregate purchase price of all of his or her securities for which such Registration Statement is required to be effective in any Penalty Period and in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Holder pursuant to this Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 10.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder for such Holder’s securities. For purposes of clarification, and solely for purposes of calculating the liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 6.3, each Holder’s purchase price for each Share shall be deemed to be the Stock Purchase Price and each Holder’s purchase price for each Warrant Share or Debt Warrant Share shall be deemed to be $0.125.

 

12


The Company shall deliver said cash payment to the Holder by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period. If the Company fails to pay said cash payment to any Holder in full by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law, and calculated on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days) to such Holder, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full.

6.4 In the case of the registration, qualification, exemption or compliance effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform each Holder as to the status of such registration, qualification, exemption and compliance. At its expense the Company shall:

(a) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration, and any qualification, exemption or compliance under state securities laws which the Company determines to obtain, continuously effective with respect to a Holder, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the earlier of the following: (i) the third anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date all Shares and Warrant Shares held by such Holder may be sold under Rule 144 during any 90 day period, provided that the Common Stock then trades on a national securities exchange and such Holder owns less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding capital stock. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”

(b) advise the Holders within five Business Days:

(i) when a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;

(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

(v) of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;

14


6.5 The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.

6.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder and each person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or other document prepared by the Company and incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each Holder and each person controlling such Holder, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided further , that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is based on the failure of such Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time any Registration Statement becomes effective or in an amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) which meets the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (each, a “Final Prospectus” ), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder or any such controlling person, if a copy of a Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage.

(b) Each Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of a prospectus was not made available to the person or entity asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (b) and subsection (d) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (the “Indemnified Party” ) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party” ) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the

 

15


Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

6.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

(b) Each Holder shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 during no more than two periods of no more than 30 calendar days each during any 12-month period to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities under any such Registration Statement would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act, provided that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other stockholder during any such 30-day period.

(c) As a condition to the inclusion of its Registrable Securities, each Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing, including completing a Registration Statement Questionnaire in the form provided by the Company or in a mutually agreeable form, or as shall be required in connection with any registration referred to in this Article 6.

(d) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company (i) not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and (ii) if such Registrable Securities are to be sold by any method or in any transaction other than on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods, to notify the Company at least five Business Days prior to the date on which the Holder first offers to sell any such Registrable Securities.

 

16


(e) Each Holder agrees not to take any action with respect to any distribution deemed to be made pursuant to a Registration Statement which would constitute a violation of Regulation M under the Exchange Act or any other applicable rule, regulation or law.

(f) At the end of the Registration Period the Holders shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to any Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by any such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.

6.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Holders still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act, a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

6.9 The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 6.1 may be assigned by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities, provided, however , that such transfer must be made at least ten days prior to the Filing Date and that (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws; (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company at least ten days prior to the Filing Date; and (iii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 6.11, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.

6.10 Prior to the time that Registration Statement(s) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities have been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall not file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities other than a registration statement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, a registration statement on Form S-8 or, in connection with an acquisition, a registration statement on Form S-4; provided, however , that the foregoing restrictions in this Section 6.10 shall terminate upon such time as all of the Registrable Securities (i) have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) may be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period, provided that the Common Stock then trades on a national securities exchange and such Holder owns less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding securities.

6.11 The rights of any Holder under any provision of this Article 6 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder.

Each Purchaser and each Holder also recognizes that, if it fails to perform or discharge any of its obligations under this Agreement, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Company.

Nothing contained herein and no action taken by any Purchaser or Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers or Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers or Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group, or are deemed affiliates with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser and each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser or Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

The applicable rules of professional conduct require that Cooley LLP inform the Purchasers and Holders hereunder of this representation and obtain their consent. Cooley LLP has served as outside general counsel to the Company and has negotiated the terms of the Financing solely on behalf of the Company. Each Purchaser and each Holder hereby (a) acknowledges that they have had an opportunity to ask for and have obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation; (b) acknowledges that with respect to the Financing, Cooley LLP has represented solely the Company, and not any Purchaser or Holder or any stockholder, director or employee of the Company or any Purchaser or Holder; and (c) gives its informed consent to Cooley LLP’s representation of the Company in the Financing.

Calculations and determinations must be made following Applicable Accounting Standards. No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by Horizon Pharma shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of Section 6.12 or Section 7 unless the Borrowers and the Required Lenders agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in Applicable Accounting Standards and, unless such provisions are so modified, all financial statements, Compliance Certificates and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such change in Applicable Accounting Standards.

All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein. All references to “Dollars” or “$” are United States Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

 

  2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT

2.1. Promise to Pay.

Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay each Lender, the outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans advanced to Borrowers by such Lender and accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts due hereunder as and when due in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2. Term Loans.

(a) Availability . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Lenders agree, severally and not jointly, to make term loans to Borrowers on the Effective Date in the aggregate amount of Sixty Million Dollars ($60,000,000), to be allocated as between the Borrowers as the Borrowers shall determine, according to, and not exceeding the amount of, such Lender’s respective Term Commitment as set forth on Schedule 1.1 hereto (such term loans are hereinafter referred to singly as a “ Term Loan ”, and collectively as the “ Term Loans ”); provided that no Lender shall have any liability for the failure of any other Lender to do so. After repayment, no Term Loan may be re-borrowed.

(b) Repayment . Borrowers shall make quarterly payments of interest in arrears commencing on the first (1 st ) Payment Date following the Effective Date, and continuing on the Payment Date of each successive quarter thereafter. All unpaid principal and accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Term Loans are due and payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Term Loans may be prepaid only in accordance with Section 2.2(c) or 2.2(d) , except as provided in Section 9.1 .

(c) Mandatory Prepayments .

(i) Upon the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds of any Transfer by (or for the benefit of) Horizon Pharma or any of its Subsidiaries (other than (i) any Permitted License, the Net Cash Proceeds of which for all such Permitted Licenses from and after the Effective Date do not exceed $10,000,000 in


the aggregate and which have been duly notified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing and (ii) any Transfer of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), each Lender may elect to require Borrowers to prepay its Term Loans, upon written notice given to Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and Borrowers (each such notice, a “ Transfer Prepayment Election ”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Transfer Notice with respect to such Transfer, in which case Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders that have submitted a Transfer Prepayment Election within such ten (10) Business Day period, an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Share of 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds received by Horizon Pharma or such Subsidiary in connection with such Transfer, such payment by the Borrowers to be on the date that is thirteen (13) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the applicable Transfer Notice, to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds exceed $500,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year. Nothing contained in this clause (i) shall permit any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries to make a Transfer of any property that is not otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, notify Administrative Agent and Lenders in writing of the receipt (directly or indirectly) of Net Cash Proceeds of any Transfer by (or for the benefit of) Horizon Pharma or any of its Subsidiaries, other than those excluded as set forth above, which notice shall include reasonable detail as to the nature and amount thereof (each such notice, a “ Transfer Notice ”). After receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Transfer Prepayment Election from any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, notify Borrowers and such Lender of its respective Pro Rata Share of the applicable prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Change in Control Premium or Special Premium shall be payable in connection with a prepayment solely pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(i) .

(ii) Upon the receipt of any Extraordinary Receipts by (or for the benefit of) any Credit Party, each Lender may elect to require Borrowers to prepay its Term Loans, upon written notice given to Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and Borrowers (each such notice, an “ Extraordinary Receipts Prepayment Election ”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Extraordinary Receipts Notice with respect to the receipt of such Extraordinary Receipts, in which case Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders that have submitted an Extraordinary Receipts Prepayment Election within such ten (10) Business Day period, an amount equal to their respective Pro Rata Share of 100% of such Extraordinary Receipts received by such Credit Party, such payment by the Borrowers to be on the date that is thirteen (13) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the applicable Extraordinary Receipts Notice. Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, notify Administrative Agent and Lenders in writing of the receipt of any Extraordinary Receipts by (or for the benefit of) any Credit Party, which notice shall include reasonable detail as to the nature and amount thereof (each such notice, an “ Extraordinary Receipts Notice ”). After receipt by the Administrative Agent of an Extraordinary Receipts Prepayment Election from any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall, no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, notify Borrowers and such Lender of its respective Pro Rata Share of the applicable prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium, Makewhole Amount, Change in Control Premium or Special Premium shall be payable in connection with a prepayment solely pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(ii) .

(iii) The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, a Borrower shall not be required to make a prepayment otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(ii) with Reinvestment Eligible Funds so long as: (A) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date the applicable Credit Party receives such Reinvestment Eligible Funds or on the date such amounts are to be released from the Reinvestment Proceeds Account to the applicable Borrower for reinvestment pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iii) , (B) such Borrower delivers a notice (a “ Reinvestment Notice ”) on or prior to the date that the applicable Credit Party receives the monies constituting such Reinvestment Eligible Funds notifying Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the intent of such Credit Party to use such Reinvestment Eligible Funds (1) to repair, restore, or replace the assets that were the subject of the Transfer or Event of Loss giving rise to such amounts with long term assets (for the avoidance of doubt, which long term assets shall not include Inventory) of equal or greater fair market value which will be useful in the conduct of its business in accordance with past practice, (2) within the

 

- 2 -


period specified in such notice, which period shall not exceed the earlier of (x) 180 days after the receipt of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds by such Credit Party and (y) the Term Loan Maturity Date, and (C) pending the reinvestment described in clause (B)(1) above, such Reinvestment Eligible Amounts are deposited in a cash collateral account over which Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) has a perfected first-priority Lien pursuant to a Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders (the “ Reinvestment Proceeds Account ”). If all or any portion of such Reinvestment Eligible Funds are not used within the period specified in the Reinvestment Notice (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence regarding the outside date of any such period), the remaining portion shall be applied to the Term Loans on the last day of such specified period (or such lesser period as a result of the limitations set forth in the preceding sentence) in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(i) or Section 2.2(c)(ii) , as applicable.

(iv) Upon a Change in Control, each Lender may elect to require Borrowers to prepay its Term Loans in full, upon written notice given to Administrative Agent and Borrowers (each such notice, a “ Change in Control Prepayment Election ”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Change in Control Notice with respect to the consummation of such Change in Control, in which case Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders that have submitted a Change in Control Prepayment Election within such ten (10) Business Day period in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share thereof, an amount equal to the sum of the Term Loans of all Lenders that have submitted a Change in Control Prepayment Election together with an amount equal to the applicable Change in Control Premium, such payment by the Borrowers to be on the date that is thirteen (13) Business Days after receipt by the Administrative Agent of the applicable Change in Control Notice. Borrowers shall promptly, and in any event no later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, notify Administrative Agent and Lenders in writing of the consummation of a Change in Control, which notice shall include reasonable detail as to the nature and other circumstances of such Change in Control (each such notice, a “ Change in Control Notice ”). For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium, Makewhole Amount or Special Premium shall be payable in connection solely with a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(iv) .

(v) Each Lender may elect to require Borrowers to prepay a portion of its Term Loans on the first day of each fiscal quarter of Horizon Pharma, commencing with the fiscal quarter beginning April 1, 2013 by delivering an Amortization Election to the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and the Borrowers no later than fifteen (15) calendar days preceding the beginning of each such fiscal quarter, which notice shall indicate such Lender’s election to require Borrowers to prepay a portion of its Term Loans and the aggregate amount of such Lender’s Term Loans (not to exceed $3,978,296 per Amortization Payment Date) such Lender is electing to require Borrowers to prepay. On the applicable Amortization Payment Date, Borrowers shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to the Lenders that have delivered an Amortization Election no later than (15) calendar days preceding the beginning of the applicable fiscal quarter, an amount determined as follows:

(1) if all Lenders that have delivered Amortization Elections within such fifteen (15) calendar day period have elected, in the aggregate, to have $3,978,296 or less of their Term Loans prepaid, Borrowers shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each such Lender, the amount of each such Lender’s Term Loans that each such Lender has elected to have prepaid;

(2) if all Lenders that have delivered Amortization Elections within such fifteen (15) calendar day period have elected, in the aggregate, to have more than $3,978,296 of their Term Loans prepaid, Borrowers shall prepay to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each such Lender, an amount of each such Lender’s Term Loans equal to the lesser of (x) $3,978,296 multiplied by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and (y) the amount of such Lender’s Term Loans such Lender has elected to have prepaid (the sum of all such resulting payments on such Amortization Payment Date, the “ Initial Amortization Amount ”). If the Initial Amortization Amount is less than $3,978,296 then each Lender that received less than the amount set forth in its Amortization Election as a result of the application of subclause (x) in the immediately preceding

 

- 3 -


sentence (the “ Specified Lenders ”) shall also receive its Pro Rata Share (calculated on a basis taking into account only the Term Loans of the Specified Lenders) of an amount equal to $3,978,296 less the Initial Amortization Amount.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Prepayment Premium, Makewhole Amount, Change in Control Premium or Special Premium shall be payable in connection solely with a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.2(c)(v) .

(d) Permitted Prepayment of Term Loans . Borrowers shall have the option to prepay all, but not less than all, of the Term Loans advanced by the Lenders under this Agreement, provided (i) Borrowers provide written notice to Administrative Agent of their election (which shall be irrevocable unless the Required Lenders otherwise consent in writing) to prepay the Term Loans at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such prepayment and (ii) such prepayment shall be accompanied by any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2(f)(i) or Section 2.2(f)(ii) , as applicable, and all other amounts payable or accrued and not yet paid hereunder and the other Loan Documents. For the avoidance of doubt, no Change in Control Premium or Special Premium shall be payable in connection solely with a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) .

(e) Prepayment Application . All prepayments by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2(c) and Section 2(d) shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid to the date of payment in full, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any such interest that has already been capitalized and added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(a) . Any prepayment of the Term Loans (together with any accompanying Makewhole Amount, Prepayment Premium, Change in Control Premium or Special Premium, as the case may be, that is payable pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(iv) or Section 2.2(f) ), whether pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or Section 2.2(d) or as a result of acceleration of the Term Loans pursuant to Section 9 , shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in the following order: (i) first, to due and unpaid Agent Expenses, (ii) second, to due and unpaid Lender Expenses , (iii) third, to accrued and unpaid interest at the Default Rate, (iv) fourth, to accrued and unpaid interest at the non-Default Rate, (v) fifth, to the Prepayment Premium, Makewhole Amount, or Change in Control Premium, (vi) sixth, to the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans being prepaid and (vii) seventh, to any remaining amounts then due and payable hereunder.

(f) Makewhole Amount; Prepayment Premium; Special Premium .

(i) Any prepayments of the Term Loans by the Borrowers (w) pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) , (x) pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , (y) as a result of the acceleration of the Term Loan Maturity Date due to an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 or (z) as a result of any other circumstance where any of the Credit Parties violate their obligations under this Agreement to avoid payment of such Makewhole Amount, in any such case, prior to the two and one half year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by payment of the applicable Makewhole Amount.

(ii) Any prepayments of the Term Loans by the Borrowers (w) pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(i) , (x) pursuant to Section 2.2(d) , (y) as a result of the acceleration of the Term Loan Maturity Date due to an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 or (z) as a result of any other circumstance where any of the Credit Parties violate their obligations under this Agreement to avoid payment of such Prepayment Premium, in any such case, on or after the two and one half year anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the four and one half year anniversary of the Effective Date shall be accompanied by payment of the applicable Prepayment Premium.

(iii) In addition to the foregoing, in the event that any prepayment or repayment of the Term Loans occurs or is required to occur on or prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date due to an automatic acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.1(a) , the Borrowers shall be required to pay an additional prepayment premium (the “ Special Premium ”) in an amount equal to $9,187,859 multiplied by a fraction equal to the number of days from the date of acceleration to the Term Loan Maturity Date over 1795.

 

  2.3. Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions .

 

- 4 -


(a) Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.3(b) , the principal amount outstanding under the Term Loans shall accrue interest at a fixed per annum rate (which rate shall be fixed for the duration of the Term Loans) equal to seventeen percent (17%) per annum, which interest shall be payable quarterly in accordance with Sections 2.2(b) and 2.3(d) . Interest shall accrue on each Term Loan commencing on, and including, the day on which the Term Loan is made, and shall accrue on a Term Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Term Loan or such portion is paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders no later than sixty (60) days prior to the applicable Payment Date (each, a “ PIK Election Notice ”) elect to pay interest on the Term Loans as follows: twelve percent (12%) per annum in cash and five percent (5%) per annum paid-in-kind (which payment-in-kind interest shall be capitalized on the applicable Payment Date and such capitalized amount shall be added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and constitute outstanding principal for all purposes hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Obligations are accelerated or prepaid for any reason prior to delivery of a PIK Election Notice for the applicable Payment Date, if a PIK Election Notice was delivered in connection with the immediately preceding Payment Date, interest on the Obligations so accelerated or prepaid, as the case may be, for the period from and after the immediately preceding Payment Date through the date of such acceleration or prepayment, shall be paid as follows: twelve percent (12%) per annum in cash and five percent (5%) per annum paid-in-kind (which payment-in-kind interest shall be capitalized on the applicable Payment Date and such capitalized amount shall be added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and constitute outstanding principal for all purposes hereof).

(b) Default Rate . Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (and without notice to the Borrowers or demand by the Lenders for payment thereof), the Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is four percentage points (4.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “ Default Rate ”), and such interest shall be payable entirely in cash on demand of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; provided that, absent payment of such interest at the Default Rate when due, such Default Rate interest shall be capitalized on the last day of each fiscal month and such capitalized amount shall be added to the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and constitute outstanding principal for all purposes hereof. Payment, capitalization or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.3(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of Administrative Agent.

(c) 360-Day Year . Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days.

(d) Payments . Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all loan payments by Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders to which such payments are owed, at the Administrative Agent’s office in immediately available funds on the date specified herein. Unless otherwise provided, interest is payable quarterly on the Payment Date of each calendar quarter. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment is due the next Business Day and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid. All payments to be made by Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document, including payments of principal and interest made hereunder and pursuant to any other Loan Document, and all fees, expenses, indemnities and reimbursements, shall be made without set-off, recoupment or counterclaim, in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.

2.4. Fees. Borrowers shall pay:

(a) Facility Fee; Agent Fee . To the Lenders on the Effective Date, a fully earned, non-refundable facility fee of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) to be shared between the Lenders pursuant to their respective Pro Rata Share, and to the Administrative Agent on the Effective Date, the fully-earned, non-refundable first annual fee of Forty Five Thousand Dollars ($45,000). The Borrowers shall pay the annual fee of the Administrative Agent in the same amount on each anniversary of the Effective Date for so long as the Term Loan is outstanding;

 

- 5 -


(b) Lender Expenses; Agent Expenses . To the Lenders, all Lender Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, upon demand. To the Administrative Agent, all Agent Expenses incurred through and after the Effective Date, upon demand.

2.5. Requirements of Law; Increased Costs . In the event that any applicable Change in Law:

(a) Does or shall subject any Lender to any Tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Term Loans made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except, in each case, Indemnified Taxes and Taxes described in clauses (b) through (c) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);

(b) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any applicable lending office of any Lender making Term Loans hereunder; or

(c) Does or shall impose on such Lender any other condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith using calculation methods customary in the industry) of making, renewing or maintaining any Term Loan or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any Person controlling such Lender,

then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for remittance to such Lender, upon its receipt of the certificate described below, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as reasonably determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or the Term Loans made hereunder. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5 , it shall promptly notify Borrowers through the Administrative Agent of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled, and a certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to Borrowers shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the outstanding Term Loans and all other Obligations.

If a Non U.S. Lender is an Approved Fund, partnership, trust, estate or other entity for which the amount of any deduction or withholding of Federal Tax will be determined at the owner, partner or beneficiary level, or if the Lender serves as an intermediary, such additional documentation shall include Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) and such other information as maybe necessary (i) to determine the appropriate amount of Federal Tax to deduct and withhold, and (ii) to allow the Borrowers to comply with their obligation to deduct and withhold any Tax and their Tax reporting obligations. Each non U.S. Lender that is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC shall provide a statement to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers stating whether it, or any of the beneficial owners for whom it is receiving a payment of interest on a Term Loan, is entitled to claim an exemption from a deduction or withholding of Federal Tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception contained in Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the IRC. If the Lender, or any of the beneficial owners for whom it is receiving a payment of interest on a Term Loan, is entitled to claim such an exemption it shall provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers a statement, signed under penalty of perjury, that it, or any of the beneficial owners for whom it is receiving a payment of interest on a Term Loan, is not (i) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, or (ii) a 10% shareholder of any Borrower (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC). A non U.S. Lender claiming the portfolio interest exception shall also provide the Administrative Agent for transmission to the Borrowers with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments, including Form W8-BEN for each beneficial owner for whom it is receiving a payment of interest on a Term Loan) and such other information as the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may reasonably request.

Each Lender

 

- 7 -


required to deliver any forms, statements, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal Tax or backup withholding matters pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time, change in circumstances or law, or additional guidance by a Governmental Authority renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers two new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-9 or W-8IMY (along with Forms W-9 and W-8BEN for each beneficial owner for whom it expects to receive a payment of interest on a Term Loan), or any successor form, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the IRC and reasonably requested by Borrowers to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction, backup withholding or withholding of United States federal Tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify the Administrative Agent and Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence. Borrowers shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Non U.S. Lender under Section 2.6(b)(iii) if such Lender (or Administrative Agent) shall have failed (1) to timely deliver to the Administrative Agent (or the Borrowers) the forms, certificates or other evidence referred to in this Section 2.6(c) , or (2) to notify the Administrative Agent and Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence, as the case may be; provided, if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirements of the first sentence of this Section 2.6(c) on the Effective Date, nothing in this last sentence of this Section 2.6(c) shall relieve Borrowers of their obligations to pay any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6 in the event that, solely as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof by any applicable Governmental Authority, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender is not subject to withholding as described herein.

(d) If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(e) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or a credit or offset for any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.6 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6 ), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund, credit or offset (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all 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) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay, credit or offset 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.

2.7. Defaulting Lenders . Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (a “ Defaulting Lender ”) in its obligation to fund (a “ Funding Default ”) any Term Loan on the Effective Date when such funding

 

- 8 -


is due according to the terms and conditions hereof (in each case, a “ Defaulted Loan ”), then (a) during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Loan Documents; and (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall have cured such Funding Default, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Term Loans shall, if such paying Borrower so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Term Loans outstanding, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans shall, if such paying Borrower so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Term Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that such paying Borrower shall be entitled to retain any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause (b). No Term Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.7 , performance by Borrowers of their obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section 2.7 . The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies which Borrowers may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default.

2.8. Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Term Loan Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt . Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of each Borrower to such Lender, including the amounts of the Term Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Term Commitments or Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any applicable Term Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern, absent manifest error.

(b) Register . Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its principal office (as specified in, or as otherwise identified upon notice to the other parties hereto in accordance with, Section 11 ), a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, such Lender’s Term Commitments, the related principal of, and stated interest on, the Term Loans of each Lender and the Term Loan Notes held by such Lender (the “ Register ”). The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrowers and any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Term Loans) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Term Commitments and the related principal of, and interest on, the Term Loans of each Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 , and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Term Loans and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Term Commitments or Borrowers’ Obligations in respect of any Term Loan. Borrowers hereby designate Administrative Agent to serve as Borrowers’ agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.8 , and Borrowers hereby agree that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “ Indemnified Persons .”

(c) Term Loan Notes . If so requested by any Lender by written notice to Borrowers and Administrative Agent at least two Business Days prior to the Effective Date, or at any time thereafter, Borrowers with respect to such Term Loan shall execute and deliver to such Lender and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 13.1 on the Effective Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Effective Date, promptly after Borrowers’ receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan.

No Credit Party is engaged as one of its important activities in extending credit for margin stock (under Regulations X, T and U of the Federal Reserve Board). Each Credit Party has complied in all material respects with the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Each of Horizon Pharma and its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates is in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder, except where such failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in any material liability of Horizon Pharma or its Subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates.

The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $250,000 the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of Horizon Pharma or its Subsidiaries or their respective ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change.

5.13. Margin Stock . No Credit Party is engaged, nor will it engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” as such terms are defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board as now and from time to time hereafter in effect (such securities being referred to herein as “ Margin Stock ”). No Credit Party owns any Margin Stock, and none of the proceeds of the Credit Extensions or other extensions of credit under this Agreement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose that might cause any of the Term Loans or other extensions of credit under this Agreement to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries will take or permit to be taken any action that might cause any Loan Document to violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

5.14. Subsidiaries; Investments; Affiliate Transactions .

Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by the Credit Party furnishing such materials to be reasonable at the time made. There are no facts known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be known) to any Credit Party (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

  9. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UPON AN EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

- 34 -


9.1. Rights and Remedies . While an Event of Default occurs and continues the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, without notice or demand:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.5 occurs all Obligations are automatically and immediately due and payable without any action by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders), whereupon all Obligations for principal, interest, premium or otherwise shall become due and payable by the Borrowers without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, which are all expressly waived by the Credit Parties hereby;

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrowers’ benefit under this Agreement;

(c) settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that the Required Lenders consider advisable, notify any Person owing Borrowers money of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds, and verify the amount of such account;

(d) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrowers shall assemble the Collateral if the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) requests and make it available as the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) designates. Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders) may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrowers grant Administrative Agent a license to enter and occupy any of their premises, without charge, to exercise any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies;

(e) apply to the Obligations (i) any balances and deposits of Borrowers it holds, or (ii) any amount held by Administrative Agent owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers;

(f) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral. Administrative Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, Borrowers’ labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Administrative Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section , Borrowers’ rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Administrative Agent’s benefit;

(g) place a “hold” on any account maintained with Administrative Agent and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

(h) demand and receive possession of Borrowers’ Books; and

(i) exercise all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and/or any Lender under the Collateral Documents or any other Loan Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to the Intellectual Property, the rights of the licensees under the Permitted Licenses will not be terminated, limited or otherwise adversely affected so long as no default exists under the Permitted License in a way that would permit the licensor to terminate such Permitted License (commonly termed a non-disturbance).

9.2. Power of Attorney . Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims

 

- 35 -


about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Administrative Agent determines reasonable; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of Administrative Agent or a third party as the Code permits. Each Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to file or record any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been satisfied in full and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is under any further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. Administrative Agent’s foregoing appointment as each Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) have been fully repaid and performed and each Lender’s obligation to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.3. Protective Payments . If Borrowers fail to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.5 or fail to pay any premium thereon or fail to pay any other amount which Borrowers are obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Administrative Agent are Lender Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrowers with notice of Administrative Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Administrative Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Administrative Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.4. Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default . If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall apply any funds in its possession, whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations in such order as the Required Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion; it being understood that any such application of funds made for the benefit of the Lenders shall be made in accordance with their Pro Rata Share unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrowers or other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrowers shall remain liable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any deficiency. If Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Required Lenders, in their good faith business judgment), directly or indirectly enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Administrative Agent shall have the option, exercisable at any time (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), of either reducing the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or deferring the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Administrative Agent of cash therefor.

9.5. Administrative Agent’s Liability for Collateral . So long as Administrative Agent complies with reasonable agency practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; or (c) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. In no event shall Administrative Agent have any liability for any diminution in the value of the Collateral for any reason. Borrowers bear all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.6. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative . Administrative Agent’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrowers of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Administrative Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative. Administrative Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Administrative Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Administrative Agent from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and Administrative Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default

 

- 36 -


is not a continuing waiver. Administrative Agent’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.7. Demand Waiver . Borrowers waive demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by Administrative Agent on which Borrowers are liable.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Borrowers and their Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section 13.5 ).

(c) Delegation of Duties . The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers under this Agreement 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 Affiliates. The exculpatory, indemnification and other provisions of this Section 10.3 and of Section 10.6 shall apply to any of the Affiliates of the Administrative Agents, and shall apply to their respective activities as Administrative Agent. All of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of this Section 10.3 and of Section 10.6 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Affiliates of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities as sub-agent as if such sub-agent and Affiliates were named herein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, (i) such sub-agent shall be a third party beneficiary under this Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other Person, against any or all of the Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such sub-agent, and (iii) such sub-agent shall only have obligations to the Administrative Agent, and not to any Credit Party, Lender or any other Person and no Credit Party, Lender or any other Person shall have any rights, directly or indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such sub-agent.

10.4. Administrative Agent Entitled to Act as Lender . The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, the Administrative Agent to the extent, if any, of its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to any participation in the Term Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrowers or any of their Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrowers for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

10.5. Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment .

(a) Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any

 

- 38 -


Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Term Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

(b) Each Lender on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be approved by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Effective Date.

10.6. Indemnity . Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent, to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise in its capacity as the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to the Administrative Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify the Administrative Agent against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

10.7. Successor Administrative Agent . The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrowers, and the Administrative Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent and signed by Required Lenders. Upon any such notice of resignation or any such removal, Required Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to Borrowers, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Administrative Agent and the resigning or removed Administrative Agent shall promptly transfer to such successor Administrative Agent all sums, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. If the Required Lenders have not appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to appoint a financial institution to act as Administrative Agent hereunder and in any case, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective on the thirtieth day after such notice of resignation. If neither the Required Lenders nor the Administrative Agent has appointed a successor Administrative Agent, the Required Lenders shall be deemed to have succeeded to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent. After any resigning or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent hereunder.

10.8. Collateral Documents and Guaranty .

(a) Administrative Agent under Collateral Documents and Guaranty . Each Lender hereby further authorizes the Administrative Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be the agent for and representative of the Lenders with respect to any guaranty, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section 13.5 , without further written consent or authorization from any Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request and expense of Credit Parties, execute any documents or instruments necessary to, (i) in

 

- 39 -


connection with a sale or disposition of assets permitted by this Agreement, release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of such sale or other disposition of assets or to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.5 ) have otherwise consented or (ii) release any Guarantor from any guaranty or with respect to which Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 13.5 ) have otherwise consented.

(b) Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty . Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, each Credit Party, the Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of the Lenders (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

10.9. Withholding Taxes.

To the extent required by any applicable law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding Tax. If the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority asserts a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold Tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender because the appropriate form was not delivered or was not properly executed or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding Tax ineffective or for any other reason, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as Tax or otherwise, including any penalties or interest and together with all expenses (including legal expenses, allocated internal costs and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred.

If to any Lender at the address set forth below such Lender’s name on the signature pages hereto or on the relevant Assignment Agreement (or at such other address as such party shall specify to the other parties in writing.

11.2. Each Credit Party further agrees that the Administrative Agent may make any communications available to the Lenders by posting such communications on SyndTrak or a substantially similar secure electronic transmission system (the “ Platform ”). Any such posting shall be deemed notice to the Lenders for all purposes hereunder. The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available.” The Administrative Agent does not warrant the accuracy or completeness of any such communications, or the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent in connection with such communications or the Platform. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any liability to the Credit Parties, any Lender or any other person for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of any Credit Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of communications through the Internet, except to the extent the liability of such person is found in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.3. Each Credit Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute (i) to Private Siders all communications to be made to any Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including any

 

- 41 -


such communication that Borrowers identify in writing is to be distributed to Private Siders only ( Private Side Communications ) , and (ii) to Public Siders all communications to be made to any Lender pursuant to Section 6.2(c) (solely to the extent delivered to Horizon Pharma’s securityholders generally and on a non-confidential basis), Section 6.2(d) and Section 6.2(i) (solely to the extent the substance of such communications is publicly disclosed) or as otherwise designated in writing by the Borrowers as communications that do not contain MNPI ( Public Side Communications ) . To the extent that the event giving rise to a communication pursuant to Section 6.2(i) is a reportable event on Form 8-K under the rules and regulations of the Exchange Act, Horizon Pharma shall publicly disclose such event within four Business Days. Borrowers represent and warrant that no Public Side Communication contains any MNPI. Borrowers agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to not designate any communications provided under Section 6.2(a)(i) , (a)(iii) and (a)(iv) as Private Side Communications except to the extent that the Borrowers believe in good faith that such communications contain MNPI. Private Siders shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI and have expressly agreed to maintain such information in confidence. Public Siders shall mean Lenders’ employees and representatives who have not declared that they are authorized to receive MNPI; it being understood that Public Siders may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to any Borrower’s or its affiliates’ securities or loans. MNPI shall mean material non-public information (within the meaning of United States federal securities laws) with respect to any Borrower, its affiliates and any of their respective securities, business or operations.

Each Lender acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other person. Each Lender confirms that it has developed procedures designed to ensure compliance with these securities laws.

Each Lender acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to communications that may contain MNPI. Accordingly, each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any such circumstances, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to designate at least one individual to receive Private Side Communications on its behalf in compliance with its procedures and applicable law and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information). Each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent in writing from time to time of such Lender’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Private Side Communications may be sent by electronic transmission.

Each Lender that elects not to be given access to Private Side Communications does so voluntarily and, by such election, (i) acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and other Lenders may have access to Private Side Communications that such electing Lender does not have and (ii) takes sole responsibility for the consequences of, and waives any and all claims based on or arising out of, not having access to Private Side Communications.

 

  12. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE, AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

New York law governs the Loan Documents without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and Lenders each submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such Federal court; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to operate to preclude the Administrative Agent from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit if the Lenders. Each Credit Party expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Credit Party hereby waives any objection that it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue, or forum non conveniens and hereby consents to the granting of such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by such court. Each Credit Party hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaints, and other process issued in such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaints, and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such Credit Party at the address set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement

 

- 42 -


and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier to occur of such Credit Party’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CREDIT PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OF DUTY AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS. THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ALL PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS COUNSEL.

Borrowers and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interests so assigned until the Administrative Agent shall have received and accepted an effective Assignment Agreement executed, delivered and fully completed by the applicable parties thereto, and shall have received such other information regarding such Eligible Assignee as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall require.

(b) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against each Lender, the Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys, agents or sub-agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, arising out of, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(c) Any action taken by any Credit Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, shall be at the expense of such Credit Party, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Credit Party or any Subsidiary of any Credit Party therefor except as expressly provided therein.

13.3. Severability of Provisions . In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13.4. Correction of Loan Documents . The Administrative Agent may correct patent errors and fill in any blanks in the Loan Documents consistent with the agreement of the parties so long as the Administrative Agent provides Credit Parties with written notice of such correction and allows Credit Parties at least ten (10) days to object to such correction. In the event of such objection, such correction shall not be made except by an amendment signed by the Administrative Agent, Required Lenders and Credit Parties.

13.5. Amendments in Writing; Integration . (a) No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no approval or consent thereunder, or any consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders provided that

(i) no such amendment, waiver or other modification that would have the effect of increasing or reducing a Lender’s Term Loan Commitment or Commitment Percentage shall be effective as to such Lender without such Lender’s written consent;

(ii) no such amendment, waiver or modification that would affect the rights and duties of Administrative Agent shall be effective without Administrative Agent’s written consent or signature;

ARTICLE VI

REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

Section 6.1 Code and Other Remedies . (a)  Code Remedies . During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in the Credit Agreement, this Agreement, any IP Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any Secured Obligation, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code or any other applicable law or in equity.

(b) Disposition of Collateral . Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without

 

12


any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving any Grantor or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, (iii) store, process, repair or recondition the Collateral or otherwise prepare any Collateral for disposition in any manner to the extent the Agent deems appropriate and (iv) sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase or license and deliver any Collateral (enter into contractual obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable Requirements of Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase or license the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold or licensed, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Agent, as administrative agent and representative of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale made in accordance with the Code, to use and apply any of the Secured Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Agent at such sale. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Grantor will be credited only with payments actually made by purchaser and received by Agent and applied to indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Agent may resell the Collateral and Grantor shall be credited with proceeds of the sale. The Agent shall have no obligation to marshal any of the Collateral.

(c) Management of the Collateral . Each Grantor further agrees, that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, (i) at Agent’s request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere, (ii) without limiting the foregoing, Agent also has the right to require that each Grantor store and keep any Collateral pending further action by Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until Agent is able to sell, assign, license out, convey or transfer any Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent and (iv) Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall not have any obligation to any Grantor to maintain or preserve the rights of any Grantor as against other Persons with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent.

(d) Application of Proceeds . Agent shall apply the cash proceeds received by it in respect of any sale of, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and only after such application and after the payment by Agent of any other amount required by any Requirement of Law, need Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(e) Direct Obligation . Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, any Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof. All of the rights and remedies of Agent and any other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Requirement of Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

13


(f) Commercially Reasonable . To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent to do any of the following:

(i) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other liabilities reasonably deemed as such by Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

(ii) fail to obtain permits, licenses or other consents for access to any Collateral to sell or license or for the collection or sale or licensing of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Requirements of Law, fail to obtain permits, licenses or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(iii) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

(iv) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(v) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(vi) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(vii) disclaim warranties, such as title, merchantability, possession, non-infringement or quiet enjoyment; or

(viii) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.1 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.1 . Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.1 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable Requirements of Law in the absence of this Section 6.1 .

(g) IP Licenses . For the purpose of enabling Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Section 6.1 (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, license out, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral) at such time as Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive, assignable, worldwide license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Grantor), including the right to sublicense, use and practice any and all Intellectual Property now owned or held or hereafter acquired or held by such Grantor and access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all Software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to such Grantor) to use, operate and occupy all real property owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by such Grantor.

 

14


Section 6.2 Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles . (a) In addition to, and not in substitution for, any similar requirement in the Credit Agreement, if required by Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment of accounts or payment in respect of general intangibles, when collected by any Grantor, shall be promptly (and, in any event, within 2 Business Days) deposited by such Grantor in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Grantor to Agent, in a Collateral Account, subject to withdrawal by Agent as provided in Section 6.4 . Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of proceeds of accounts and payments in respect of general intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.

(b) At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(i) each Grantor shall, upon Agent’s request, deliver to Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the contractual obligations and transactions that gave rise to any account or any payment in respect of general intangibles, including all IP Licenses, original orders, invoices and shipping receipts and notify account debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to Agent;

(ii) Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a Grantor to collect its accounts or amounts due under general intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with account debtors to verify with them to Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any account or amounts due under any general intangible. In addition, Agent may at any time enforce such Grantor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors of general intangibles; and

(iii) each Grantor shall take all actions, deliver all documents and provide all information necessary or reasonably requested by Agent to ensure any Internet Domain Name is registered.

(c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each account and each payment in respect of general intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. No Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible by reason of or arising out of any Loan Document or the receipt by any Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an account or a payment in respect of a general intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, upon notice by Agent to the relevant Grantor or Grantors, all rights of each Grantor to exercise or refrain from exercising the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Agent or nominee who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights, including the right to exercise (A) any voting, consent, corporate and other right pertaining to the Pledged Collateral at any meeting of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, of the relevant issuer or issuers of Pledged Collateral or otherwise and (B) any right of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including the right to exchange at its discretion any Pledged Collateral upon the merger, amalgamation, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the corporate or equivalent structure of any issuer of Pledged Stock, the right to deposit and deliver any Pledged Collateral with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Agent may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it;

 

15


provided , however , that Agent shall have no duty to any Grantor to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

(b) Proxies . During the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to permit Agent to exercise the voting and other consensual rights that it may be entitled to exercise pursuant hereto and to receive all dividends and other distributions that it may be entitled to receive hereunder, (i) each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to Agent all such proxies, dividend payment orders and other instruments as Agent may from time to time reasonably request and (ii) without limiting the effect of clause (i) above, such Grantor hereby grants to Agent an irrevocable proxy to vote all or any part of the Pledged Collateral and to exercise all other rights, powers, privileges and remedies to which a holder of the Pledged Collateral would be entitled (including giving or withholding written consents of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, calling special meetings of shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, and voting at such meetings), which proxy shall be effective, automatically and without the necessity of any action (including any transfer of any Pledged Collateral on the record books of the issuer thereof) by any other person (including the issuer of such Pledged Collateral or any officer or agent thereof) during the continuance of an Event of Default and which proxy shall only terminate upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted).

Section 6.4 Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Agent . Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Credit Agreement or this Agreement, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any Collateral received by any Grantor hereunder in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by such Grantor in trust for Agent and the other Secured Parties, segregated from other funds of such Grantor, and shall, promptly upon receipt by any Grantor, be turned over to Agent in the exact form received (with any necessary endorsement). All such proceeds of Collateral and any other proceeds of any Collateral received by Agent in cash or Cash Equivalents shall be held by Agent in a Collateral Account. All proceeds being held by Agent in a Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.5 Sale of Pledged Collateral . (a) Each Grantor recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 6.1 and this Section 6.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained herein will cause irreparable injury to Agent and other Secured Parties, that Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such

 

16


breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement. Each Grantor waives any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral by Agent.

Section 6.6 Deficiency . Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the reasonable fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

Section 6.8 Directions, Notices or Instructions . Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall take any action under or issue any directions, notice or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreement or acknowledgment from a landlord or third party bailee unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

(a) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent and any Related Person thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of the Loan Documents, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of the Loan Documents during the continuance of an Event of Default, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives Agent and its Related Persons the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following when an Event of Default shall be continuing:

(i) in the name of such Grantor, in its own name or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any account or general intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any account or general intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;

(ii) in the case of any Intellectual Property or IP Licenses or IP Ancillary Rights included in the Collateral, execute, deliver and have recorded any document that Agent may request to evidence, effect, publicize or record Agent’s security interest in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby and Agent’s rights and remedies with respect thereto;

(iii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against any Collateral, effect any repair or obtain or pay any insurance called for by the terms of the Credit Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof);

(iv) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 6.1 or 6.5 , any document to effect or otherwise necessary or appropriate in relation to evidence the sale of any Collateral; or

(vi) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any contractual obligation contained herein, Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such contractual obligation.

(b) The expenses of Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1 , together with interest thereon at the Default Rate, from the date of payment by Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to Agent on demand.

(c) Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of this Section 7.1 . All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 7.2 Authorization to File Financing Statements . Each Grantor authorizes Agent and its Related Persons, at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments thereto, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to any Collateral in such form and in such offices as Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of Agent under this Agreement, and such financing statements and amendments may describe the Collateral covered thereby as “ all assets of the debtor ” or words of similar effect. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction. Such Grantor also hereby ratifies its authorization for Agent to have filed any initial financing statement or amendment thereto under the Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction if filed prior to the date hereof.

Section 7.3 Authority of Agent . Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between Agent and the Grantors, Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation or entitlement to make any inquiry respecting such authority.

Section 7.4 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities . (a) Duty of Agent. Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and

 

18


neither it nor any of its Related Persons shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Agent in good faith.

(b) Obligations and Liabilities with respect to Collateral . No Secured Party and no Related Person thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 Reinstatement . Each Grantor agrees that, if any payment made by any Credit Party or other Person and applied to the Secured Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of any Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Credit Party, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (a) any Lien or other Collateral securing such Grantor’s liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of the foregoing or (b) any provision of the Guaranty hereunder shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered, such Lien, other Collateral or provision shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of such Grantor in respect of any Lien or other Collateral securing such obligation or the amount of such payment.

Section 8.2 Release of Collateral and Guarantee Obligations . When all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet due and payable) have been paid in full in cash, and all Term Commitments have terminated, the Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of Agent and each Guarantor and Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights of Agent to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request of any Grantor following any such termination, Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 8.3 Independent Obligations . The obligations of each Grantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Secured Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations. If any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation is not paid when due, subject to any grace or cure period, or upon any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Grantor and any Collateral to collect and recover the full amount of any Secured Obligation or Guaranteed Obligation then due, without first proceeding against any other Grantor, any other Credit Party or any other Collateral and without first joining any other Grantor or any other Credit Party in any proceeding.

Section 8.4 No Waiver by Course of Conduct . No Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.5 ), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or

 

19


remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that such Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion.

Section 8.5 Amendments in Writing . None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 13.5 of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that annexes to this Agreement may be supplemented (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1 and Annex 2, respectively, in each case duly executed by Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby.

Section 8.6 Additional Grantors and Guarantors; Additional Pledged Collateral . (a)  Joinder Agreements . If, at the option of a Borrower or as required pursuant to Section 6.14 of the Credit Agreement, a Borrower shall cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor or Guarantor to become a Grantor and Guarantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Effective Date.

(b) Pledge Amendments . To the extent any Pledged Collateral has not been delivered as of the Effective Date, such Grantor shall deliver a pledge amendment duly executed by the Grantor in substantially the form of Annex 1 (each, a “ Pledge Amendment ”). Such Grantor authorizes Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement.

Section 8.7 Notices . All notices, requests and demands to or upon Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 11 of the Credit Agreement; provided , however , that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Borrowers’ notice address set forth in Section 11 .

Section 8.8 Successors and Assigns . This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of each Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided , however , that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Agent.

Section 8.9 Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or by electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

Section 8.10 Severability . Any provision of this Agreement being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of this Agreement or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 8.11 Governing Law . This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

Section 8.12 Waiver of Jury Trial . EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN

 

20


CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

EACH GRANTOR AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12 OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
