Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Facility Agreement

On July 1, 2013, we entered into a Facility Agreement (the “Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. (“Deerfield Private Design Fund”) and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”), providing for the sale by us of up to $160.0 million of our 9.75% senior secured convertible notes (the “Convertible Notes”) to Deerfield in four equal tranches. The Convertible Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum until maturity in 2019 or their earlier repayment, repurchase or conversion. A portion of the principal amount of the Convertibles Notes issued under the Facility Agreement may be converted into shares of our common stock (the “Conversion Shares”) at the noteholder’s option after a specified period following the release of data from our Phase III clinical studies of AFREZZA ® . The conversion price will be determined by the volume weighted average price of our common stock during the 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date. The number of Conversion Shares that may be issued upon conversion of all Convertible Notes will be limited to an aggregate of 12 million shares or such lesser number of shares as may be determined pursuant to the conversion limitations contained in the Convertible Notes if the conversion price at which the Convertible Notes are actually converted from time to time is greater than $3.33.

The closing of the first tranche of Convertible Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million (the “Tranche 1 Notes”) occurred on the date of the Facility Agreement. Deerfield’s obligation to purchase the second tranche of Convertible Notes (the “Tranche 2 Notes”) is subject to our achievement and reporting of certain Phase III results relating to our clinical studies of AFREZZA ® . Deerfield’s obligation to purchase the third tranche of Convertible Notes is subject to our repayment of our 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013 and the prior satisfaction of the conditions for the second tranche closing. Deerfield’s obligation to purchase the fourth tranche of Convertible Notes is subject to our receipt of approval of AFREZZA ® by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the prior satisfaction of the conditions for the second and third tranche closings. In addition to the foregoing conditions, Deerfield’s obligation to purchase Convertible Notes at any of the three remaining closings is subject to, at each closing, the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of all previously sold Convertible Notes being freely tradable pursuant to an effective registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

We are required to repay 25% of the original principal amount of the Convertible Notes sold in each tranche on the third, fourth, fifth and sixth anniversaries of the applicable issue dates of such Convertible Notes; provided that the entire outstanding principal amount of all Convertible Notes will become due and payable no later than December 31, 2019. We have the right but not the obligation to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche 1 Notes at a price equal to 110% of the outstanding principal thereof plus all accrued and unpaid interest as of the date of prepayment if the conditions for the Tranche 2 Notes have not been satisfied. We are required to repay any outstanding Convertible Notes in full if we complete a major transaction, which includes, but is not limited to, certain mergers and other change of control transactions involving us.

The Facility Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by us, including restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Events of default under the Facility Agreement include: our failure to timely make payments due under the Convertible Notes; inaccuracies in our representations and warranties to Deerfield; our failure to comply with any of our covenants under any of the Agreements (as defined below) or the related security documents required by the Facility Agreement, subject to a cure period with respect to most covenants; our insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; certain judgments against us; the suspension, cancellation or revocation of governmental authorizations that are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business; the acceleration of a specified amount of our indebtedness; our cash and cash equivalents, including amounts available to us under our revolving loan arrangement with The Mann Group LLC, falling below $25.0 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter; our failure to timely deliver any Conversion Shares; and our failure to cause the Conversion Shares to be freely tradable within certain agreed upon time frames. If one or more events of default under the Facility Agreement occurs and continues beyond any applicable cure period, the noteholders may declare all or any portion of the Convertible Notes to be immediately due and payable.


We are required to reimburse Deerfield for up to $500,000 of reasonable, documented expenses for attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Deerfield in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Facility Agreement.

We plan to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes for working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to repay our 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013.

The foregoing descriptions of the Facility Agreement and the Convertible Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Facility Agreement and the form of Convertible Note, copies of which are attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively.

Milestone Agreement

In connection with the Facility Agreement, on July 1, 2013 we also entered into a Milestone Rights Purchase Agreement (the “Milestone Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund and Horizon Santé FLML SÁRL (“HS” and together with Deerfield Private Design Fund, the “Milestone Purchasers”), pursuant to which, in exchange for a payment of $18.9 million, we sold the Milestone Purchasers rights to receive payments of up to $90.0 million upon the occurrence of specified strategic and sales milestones, including the first commercial sale of an AFREZZA ® product and the achievement of specified net sales figures. The milestone rights terminate if we exercise our right to prepay the Tranche 1 Notes. In addition, the milestone payments are subject to pro rata reduction in the event of certain funding failures by Deerfield under the Facility Agreement.

The Milestone Agreement includes customary representations and warranties and covenants by us, including restrictions on transfers of intellectual property related to AFREZZA ® . The milestones are subject to acceleration in the event we transfer our intellectual property related to AFREZZA ® in violation of the terms of the Milestone Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Milestone Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Milestone Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.3.

Security Agreement

In connection with the Facility Agreement, we and MannKind LLC, our subsidiary, entered into a Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement) with Deerfield and HS (collectively, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we and MannKind LLC each granted the Purchasers a security interest in substantially all of our respective assets, including our respective intellectual property, accounts, receivables, equipment, general intangibles, inventory and investment property, and all of the proceeds and products of the foregoing. The Security Agreement includes customary covenants by us and MannKind LLC, remedies of the Purchasers and representations and warranties by us and MannKind LLC. The security interests granted by us and MannKind LLC will terminate upon repayment of the Convertible Notes in full. Our obligations under the Facility Agreement, the Convertible Notes and the Milestone Agreement are also secured by certain mortgages on our facilities in Danbury, Connecticut and Valencia, California.

The foregoing description of the Security Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Security Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.4.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Facility Agreement and the sale of the Convertible Notes pursuant thereto, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Deerfield (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which we agreed to register for sale the Conversion Shares within a specified time period following the issuance of each tranche of Convertibles Notes.


The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this report as Exhibit 99.5.

The Facility Agreement, Convertible Notes, Milestone Agreement, Security Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement (collectively, the “Agreements”) have been filed with this report to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their respective terms. The foregoing descriptions are not intended to provide any other factual information about us or the other parties to the Agreements. The Agreements contain representations and warranties of the parties thereto which were made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other parties to the Agreements. Accordingly, investors and security holders should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Agreements, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in our public disclosures.

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

The information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information in Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. We relied on the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D, Rule 506 thereunder, for the issuance of the Convertible Notes and expect to rely on such exemptions for any issuance of Conversion Shares. In connection with Deerfield’s execution of the Facility Agreement, Deerfield represented to us that it is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act and that the securities purchased or to be purchased by Deerfield were or will be acquired solely for its own account and for investment purposes and not with a view to the future sale or distribution by Deerfield of any portion of the Convertibles Notes or Conversion Shares.

Whenever any notice is required to be given to the Purchasers or the Borrower under the any of the Transaction Documents, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice.

Section 6.4 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Legal Proceedings. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. If the Purchasers do not agree with the Borrower’s determination regarding clause (ii) of the definition of Tranche 2 Requirement the Purchasers shall so notify Borrower in writing, and an independent third party expert mutually engaged by the Borrower and the Purchasers shall make such determination, which shall be binding on the Borrower and the Purchasers. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement (whether brought against a Party or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or other proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or other proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or other proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(b) To the extent that the Parties may, in any suit, action or other proceeding brought in any court arising out of or in connection with any Transaction Document, be entitled to the benefit of any provision of law requiring the Borrower or the Purchasers, as applicable, in such suit, action or other proceeding to post security for the costs of the Borrower or the Purchasers, as applicable, or to post a bond or to take similar action, the Parties hereby irrevocably waive such benefit, in each case to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted under any applicable laws.

Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the successors and assigns of the Parties, except that (a) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights under the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the Purchasers and (b) the Purchasers may not assign their obligations under this Agreement prior to the earlier of the issuance of the Tranche 4 Notes and December 30, 2014 other than to an Affiliate without the prior written consent of the Borrower and unless the assignee or transferee expressly agrees to assume such Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

The provisions of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the authorized officer of the Borrower and the Required Purchasers.

Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 6.9 Survival .

(a) The Parties have relied on all agreements, representations and warranties made in the Transaction Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered

 

36


pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchases of the Notes hereunder regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf, and shall continue in force until all Obligations shall have been fully paid in accordance with the provisions thereof, and the Purchasers shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of purchasing the Notes, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Purchasers may have had notice of any such Event of Default or may have had notice that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time a purchase of the Notes was made.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 1.4 and 2.5 and the obligations of the Borrower and the Purchasers under this Article 6 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of the repayment of the Notes, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

Section 6.10 Waiver. Neither the failure, nor delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under any Transaction Document (collectively, “ Right ”), shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any Right preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other Right; nor shall any waiver of any Right, constitute a waiver of any other Right. No course of dealing and no delay or omission in exercising any Right, shall impair such Right. All Rights provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any Rights otherwise provided by law.

Section 6.11 Indemnity .

(a) The Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold each other harmless and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “ Indemnified Person ”) harmless (the “ Indemnity ”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the cost of defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties, or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Transaction Documents (other than the Registration Rights Agreement) or the Notes which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “ Loss ”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal with jurisdiction over the subject matter of the Loss, and over the Purchasers or the Borrower, as applicable, and such other Indemnified Person that had an adequate opportunity to defend its interests, determines that such Loss resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Person, which determination results in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Transaction Document to pay any amount to the Purchasers or Borrowers, as applicable, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this subsection shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person.

 

37


(c) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Person, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The indemnifying party shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the indemnifying party. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such legal action shall not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6.11, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

(d) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any of the Parties hereunder, the obligations of the Parties contained in this Section 6.11 shall survive the termination of each other provision hereof and the payment of all amounts payable to the Purchasers hereunder.

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Transaction Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchasers for the Notes exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance the Purchasers shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under applicable law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Notes, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Notes, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchasers for the Notes shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Notes until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Notes is uniform throughout the term thereof. The provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.

Section 6.13 Further Assurances. From time to time, each Party shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to the other Party such additional documents as may be necessary or as requested by the other Party to carry out the purposes of any Transaction Document or to preserve and protect the rights of such other Party as contemplated therein.

 

38


Section 6.14 Independent Transaction Documents. Each Transaction Document is an independent agreement between the Parties and no Transaction Document shall affect the Rights of the Parties to their Rights under another Transaction Document.

If notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(c)(vi) , the Holder elects to physically surrender this Note for conversion and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note (the “ Note Delivery Date ”) and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note.

The Company shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holder of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(iv) Record Holder .

(v) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.

(A) Cash Damages . If within three (3) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile or electronic mail copy of a Conversion Notice or deemed receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder for, or credit the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with, the number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend if the Unrestricted Conditions (as defined below) are met) to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “ Delivery Failure ”) then in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Holder or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date (such product is referred to herein as the “ Share Product Amount ”) Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, subject to Section 2(c)(iii) , at the written election of the Holder made in the Holder’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of Conversion Shares that such Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (such purchased shares, “ Buy-In Shares ”), the Company shall be obligated to promptly pay to such Holder (in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may otherwise have), 107.5% of the amount by which (A) such Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares

 

6


exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the number of shares equal to up to the number of Conversion Shares such Holder was entitled to receive but had not received on such Share Delivery Date. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of Shares equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice.

(B) Void Conversion Notice . If for any reason the Holder has not received all of the Conversion Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “ Conversion Failure ”), then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company (a “ Void Conversion Notice ”), may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Holder’s Conversion Notice; provided , that the voiding of the Holder’s Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise.

(vi) Book-Entry . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion or repayment of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal converted or repaid and the dates of such conversions or repayments or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted or repaid as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion or repayment of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the principal amount stated on the face hereof.

(d) Taxes . The Company shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Holder) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests any Conversion Shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.

(e) Legends .

(i) Restrictive Legend . The Holder understands that this Note and until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act as

 

7


contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares, as applicable, may 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 SECURITY REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”

(ii) Removal of Restrictive Legends . The certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend restricting the transfer thereof (including the legend set forth above in subsection 2(e)(i)): (A) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement, as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of such security by the Holder is effective under the Securities Act, (B) following any sale of such Conversion Shares pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) if such Conversion Shares are eligible for sale under rule 144(b)(1) and the Holder thereof is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) (the “ Unrestricted Conditions ”). The Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from the Conversion Shares in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that (i) the Holder will dispose of such shares pursuant to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or for its own account in compliance with Rule 144, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and (ii) if, prior to the disposition of any such Conversion Shares, the Company notifies the Holder that the Unrestricted Conditions have no longer been met, the Holder will agree to the placement of said restrictive legend on the certificates for such Conversion Shares until the Unrestricted Conditions have once again been met. Promptly following the Effective Date (as defined below) or such other time as any of the Unrestricted Conditions have been satisfied, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion or other instruction to the Transfer Agent (if required by the Transfer Agent) to effect the issuance of the Conversion Shares without a restrictive legend or, in the case of Conversion Shares that have previously been issued, the removal of the legend thereunder. If the Unrestricted Conditions are met at the time of issuance of the Conversion Shares, then the Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following the Effective Date or at such time as the Unrestricted Conditions are met or such legend is otherwise no longer required under this Section 2(e) , it will, no later than four (4) Trading Days following the delivery (the “ Unlegended Shares Delivery Deadline ”) by the Holder to the Company or the Transfer Agent of any certificate representing Conversion Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such fourth Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to

 

8


be delivered to such Holder a certificate (or electronic transfer) representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. For purposes hereof, “ Effective Date ” shall mean the date that the Registration Statement that the Company is required to file pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement has been declared effective by the SEC.

(iii) Sale of Unlegended Shares . Holder agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from any certificates representing securities as set forth in Section 2(e) above is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that the Holder will sell any Conversion Shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.

(f) Limitations on Conversions .

(i) Beneficial Ownership . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not issue to the Holder, and the Holder may not acquire, a number of Shares upon conversion of this Note or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement to the extent that, upon such conversion, the number of Shares then beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 9.985% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “ 9.985% Cap ”), provided, however, that the 9.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act, and provided, further, that if the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act beneficially own on the Issuance Date greater than 9.985% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, then the 9.985% Cap shall not apply to such Holder unless and until the beneficial ownership of the Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act subsequently decreases to below 9.985% . For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“ SEC ”), and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Shares then outstanding.

(ii) Principal Market Regulation . The Company shall not issue any Shares upon conversion of this Note (including pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) hereof) if the issuance of such Shares together with any previous issuances of Shares under the Notes would exceed 57,885,577 (the “ Exchange Cap ”), except that such limitation shall not apply in the

 

9


event that the Company obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of The Nasdaq Global Market and any other Principal Market for issuances of Shares in excess of such amount.

(iii) Applicable Limits on Conversion of the Note . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (A) this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, if the number of shares that would otherwise be issuable upon such conversion, together with all shares previously issued upon conversion of all Notes or issuable upon conversion of any other Notes converted on the same Conversion Date, exceeds 12 million shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event), and (B) this Note shall not be convertible, and the Company shall not issue Shares upon conversion of this Note, if the number of shares that would otherwise be issuable upon such conversion, together with any shares issuable upon conversion of any other Notes converted on the same Conversion Date, exceeds the then Applicable Limit. For purposes herein, “Applicable Limit” shall initially mean (x) 12 million Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) for all conversions of Notes at a “Conversion Price” of $3.33 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) or less, (y) 6 million Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) for all conversions of Notes at a “Conversion Price” of $6.67 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event) or more, and (z) $40 million of “Conversion Amounts” for all Note conversions at a “Conversion Price” of between $3.33 and $6.67 (subject to appropriate adjustment to reflect any Stock Event); provided, however, that, after each Conversion Date, the Applicable Limit under all three clauses (regardless of which clause such conversion relates to) shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Applicable Limit immediately preceding such conversion multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares actually converted on such date (in the case of clauses (x) and (y)) or the applicable “Conversion Amount” for all shares actually converted on such date (in the case of clause (z)) and the denominator of which is the Applicable Limit in respect of the clause under which such conversion falls immediately prior to such conversion. For purposes of illustration: (a) If 6 million shares are converted under any Notes at $3.00 per shares, the Applicable Limit Shall be reduced by one-half to 3 million, 6 million and $20 million, respectively; (b) If an additional $5 million are then converted under any Notes at $5.00 per Share, each Applicable Limit shall then be further reduced by one-quarter to 4.5 million, 2.25 million and $15 million, respectively. As an additional illustration, if 5 million shares are converted under any Notes at $8.00 per share, each Applicable Limit shall be reduced by 83.33% to 2,004,000, 1,002,000 and $6,680,000, respectively; and (b) if an additional 500,000 shares are then converted under any Notes at $5.00 per share, each Applicable Limit shall be further reduced by 24.95% to 1,504,002, 752,001 and $5,013,349, respectively.

3. Registration Failures . Upon any Registration Failure, in addition to all other available remedies that the Holder may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall pay additional damages to the Holder for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the date of such Registration Failure in an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Holder’s original principal amount of this Note on the date of such Registration Failure. Such payments shall accrue until the earlier of (i) such time as the Registration Failure has been cured and (ii) the date on which all of the Conversion Shares may be disposed of for such Holder’s own account without restriction under

 

10


Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions and without the need for the availability of current public information under Rule 144), assuming that the Holder is not, and has not been during the preceding three months, an affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Company. All such payments that accrue under this Section (4) shall be payable no later than five business days following such date of accrual.

4. Voting Rights . Except as required by law, the Holder shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii) , the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

5. Amendment; Waiver . The terms and provisions of this Note shall not be amended or waived except in a writing signed by the Company and the Holder.

6. Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief . The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, the Facility Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

7. Specific Shall Not Limit General; Construction . No specific provision contained in this Note shall limit or modify any more general provision contained herein. This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all purchasers of Notes pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver . No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.

For avoidance of doubt, in the event Holder notifies the Company that such sale or transfer is a so called “4(1) and a half” transaction, the parties hereto agree that a legal opinion from outside counsel for the Holder delivered to counsel for the Company substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C shall be the only requirement to satisfy an exemption from registration under the Securities Act to effectuate such “4(1) and half” transaction.

Re: Mannkind Corporation (the “Company”)

Dear Sir:

[                                         ] (“[                                         ]”) intends to transfer                      of its Milestone Rights (the “Rights”) of the Company to                                          (“                                         ”) without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). In connection herewith, we have examined such documents and issues of law as we have deemed relevant.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the transfer of the Rights by                      to                      may be effected without registration under the Securities Act, provided, however, that the Rights to be transferred to                      contain a legend restricting its transferability pursuant to the Securities Act and that transfer of the Rights is subject to a stop order.

The foregoing opinion is furnished only to                              and may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to or relied upon by you for any purposes other than the purpose for which furnished or by any other person for any purpose, without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Secured Creditors upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 2. The Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2, and all dealings between Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any Secured Creditor, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2.

Each Guarantor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Secured Creditors or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Secured Obligations.

(c) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if a Secured Creditor forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Secured Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right each Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under this guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this Section , such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky , 265 Cal.App.2d 40 (1968). By executing this guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this guaranty even though Lender may foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Loan; (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which any Secured Creditor may commence to enforce this guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by each Guarantor under this guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of

Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that each Secured Creditor is relying on this waiver in purchasing the Notes or the Milestone Rights, as applicable, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which each Secured Creditor is receiving for paying the purchase price for the Notes and the Milestone Rights.

(d) Each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code.

(e) Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(i) Secured Creditor may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or another Guarantor.

(ii) If any Secured Creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower or any Guarantor:

(A) The amount of the Secured Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.

(B) Secured Creditor may collect from such Guarantor even if Secured Creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.

This Section is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Guarantor may have because the Secured Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

Each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.

A Subsidiary shall automatically be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Facility Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Borrower or ceases to be a Guarantor. At the request and sole expense (to the extent reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket) of any Grantor following any such termination, Secured Creditors shall promptly deliver to the Grantors any Collateral held by Secured Creditors hereunder, and execute and deliver to the Grantors such documents (including authorization to file UCC termination statements) as the Grantors shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b) If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Facility Agreement or if such Collateral otherwise becomes Excluded Property, then Secured Creditors, at the request and sole expense (to the extent reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket) of such Grantor, shall execute and deliver to such Grantor all releases or other documents reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Liens created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense (to the extent reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket) of Borrower, a Grantor shall be released from its obligations hereunder in the event that all the equity interests of such Grantor shall be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in a transaction permitted by the Facility Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Secured Creditors agree: (i) to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by any Secured Creditor under any Transaction Document on any Inventory consisting of the Product or raw materials, work in process and materials used for the manufacture of the Product (other than Insulin Inventory owned by any Grantor as of the date of this Agreement) (collectively, “Product Inventory”), Receivables arising from the sale or licensing of the Product (including, without limitation Receivables representing royalties or other amounts due under licenses of Intellectual Property for the sale of the Product) (collectively, “Product Receivables”) or proceeds thereof, in connection with the entry by any Grantor into a working capital facility permitted by clause (xii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness; and (ii) to enter into subordination, non-disturbance and similar agreements in connection with the licensing of Intellectual Property permitted pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement, the Milestone Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (it being agreed that a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached as Annex II shall be acceptable to the Secured Creditors).

7.18 Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional . Each Grantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Secured Creditors, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor or any other Person against Secured Creditors, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Secured Creditors may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Secured Creditors to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Secured Creditors against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

7.19 Reinstatement . In the event that any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

2. REGISTRATION.

a. MANDATORY REGISTRATION. (i) Following each date on which any Notes are issued pursuant to the Facility Agreement (each, an “ Issuance Date ”), the Company shall prepare, and, on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline (as defined above) file with the SEC, a Registration Statement (the “ Mandatory Registration Statement ”) on Form S-3 (or, if Form S-3 is not then available, on such form of Registration Statement as is then available to effect a registration of the Registrable Securities), subject to the consent of the Buyers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, covering the resale of the Registrable Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes issued on the applicable Issuance Date which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), and to the extent necessary, shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Notes to prevent dilution resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions. The number of aggregate shares of Common Stock included in the initial Mandatory Registration Statement shall be 12 million shares (subject to adjustment in the event of Stock Event (as defined in the Notes). Each Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided to the Buyers and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. For the avoidance of doubt, no Mandatory Registration Statement shall be required to be filed with respect to any issuance of Notes if the Applicable Limit (as defined in the Notes) is zero and all Registrable Securities have been registered for resale under an effective Registration Statement.

(ii) If for any reason the SEC does not permit all of the Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) above, or for any other reason any Registrable Securities are not then included in a Registration Statement filed under this Agreement, then the Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an additional Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities not already covered by an existing and effective Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act.

(iii) After the filing and effectiveness of the initial Mandatory Registration Statement, the Company may file any additional Registration Statements in a manner so as to combine all prior Registration Statements in accordance with under Rule 429 under the Securities Act.

b. PIGGY-BACK REGISTRATIONS. If at any time after the date hereof and prior to the expiration of the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined) the Company shall determine to file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering solely for the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its securities (other than debt securities or securities being registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans) (a “Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement”), the Company shall send to each Buyer written notice of such determination and, if within

 

3


ten (10) days after the effective date of such notice, the Buyer shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement all or any part of such Buyer’s Registrable Securities that such Buyer requests to be registered, except that if, in connection with any underwritten public offering, the managing underwriter(s) thereof shall impose a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities which may be included in the Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement because, in such underwriter(s)’ judgment, marketing or other factors dictate such limitation is necessary to facilitate public distribution, then the Company shall be obligated to include in such Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement only such limited portion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which the Buyer has requested inclusion hereunder as the underwriter shall permit;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER , that the Company shall not exclude any Registrable Securities unless the Company has first excluded all outstanding securities, the holders of which are not entitled by contract to inclusion of such securities in such Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement or are not entitled to pro rata inclusion with the Registrable Securities; and

PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER , that, after giving effect to the immediately preceding proviso, any exclusion of Registrable Securities shall be made pro rata with holders of other securities having the contractual right to include such securities in the Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement other than holders of securities entitled to inclusion of their securities in such Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement by reason of demand registration rights and except that any exclusion of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement in which securities beneficially owned by the Mann Group (as such term is defined in the Facility Agreement) are being registered shall be made on a pro rata basis. No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2(b) shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 2(a) hereof. If an offering in connection with which a Buyer is entitled to registration under this Section 2(b) is an underwritten offering, then such Buyer shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the underwriting agreement in such offering, on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering (including, without limitation, execution of an agreement with the managing underwriter or placement agent limiting the sale or distribution such Buyer may make of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for such shares of the Company, except as part of such registration). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the registration rights of the Buyers pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall only be available to the extent that the Buyer holds outstanding Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale pursuant to another effective Registration Statement at the time that the Company files a Piggy-Back Eligible Registration Statement.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF THE COMPANY. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall have the following obligations:

a. The Company shall (i) prepare promptly, and file with the SEC, as soon as practicable after each Issuance Date (but no later than the Filing Deadline), the Registration Statement(s) required pursuant to Section 2(a), and thereafter use its best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement(s) relating to Registrable Securities to become effective no later than the Registration Deadline, and (ii) subject to Section 3(q) hereof, shall use its best efforts to keep each such Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act at all times until such date as the Registrable Securities registered thereunder cease to be Registrable Securities (the “Registration Period”), which Registration Statement(s) (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein), shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (except that such provision shall not apply to any information provided by a Buyer or any transferee of a Buyer pursuant to Section 4(a)).

b. The Company shall (i) use its best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement current and effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, (ii) subject to Section 3(p) hereof, during the Registration Period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act applicable to the Company with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by each Registration Statement.

 

4


c. The Company shall furnish or otherwise make available to each Buyer and its legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company, one copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and, in the case of a Registration Statement referred to in Section 2(a), each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought or intends to seek confidential treatment); and provided that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any Buyer which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company, and (ii) such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as a Buyer may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Buyer, although the Company may determine in its reasonable judgment to provide any such copies in electronic form only. The Company will promptly notify the Buyers by facsimile or email of the effectiveness of each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment. The Company will respond to any and all comments received from the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable, with a view towards causing each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable and shall file an acceleration request as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) business days, following the later of (i) resolution or clearance of all SEC comments or, if applicable, following notification by the SEC that any such Registration Statement or any amendment thereto will not be subject to review and (ii) the date the Company is notified in writing of any comments (or that there are no comments), to the Company’s request for acceleration, from the single firm designated by the Buyers to review such acceleration request pursuant to Section 3(g), provided, however, that if during such period, the Company is unable to file such acceleration request because such acceleration request would otherwise be filed more than 45, but less than 76 days, after the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal year and the audited financial statement for such fiscal year are unavailable at such time, such obligation to file an acceleration request shall be extended until the first business day following the earlier of (a) the deadline (without regard to any extensions that may be permitted by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act) for filing by the Company of an annual report on Form 10-K containing such financial statements with the SEC and (b) the date on which the Company files an annual report on Form 10-K containing such financial statements with the SEC.

d. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify, in any jurisdiction where registration and/or qualification is required, the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statements under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Buyers shall reasonably request in writing, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) quality to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(d), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction.

e. Subject to Section 3(q) hereof, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, the Company shall notify each Buyer who holds Registrable Securities of the happening of any event, of which the Company has knowledge, as a result of which the prospectus included in any Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and use its best efforts to promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to any Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver such number of copies of such supplement or amendment to each Buyer as such Buyer may reasonably request.

f. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of any Registration Statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest practical moment and to notify each Buyer who holds Registrable Securities being sold (or, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriters) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof.

 

5


g. The Company shall permit a single firm of counsel designated by the Buyers to review such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (as well as all requests for acceleration or effectiveness thereof), at Buyers’ own cost, a reasonable period of time prior to their filing with the SEC (not less than five (5) business days but not more than eight (8) business days) and use commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in such documents any comments as such counsel may reasonably propose (so long as such comments are provided to the Company at least (2) business days prior to the expected filing date) and will not request acceleration of such Registration Statement without prior notice to such counsel; provided that the Company shall make the final decision as to the form and content of each such document.

h. The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Buyer provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning such Buyer is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Buyer prior to making such disclosure, and allow such Buyer, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

i. The Company shall use best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange.

j. The Company shall provide a transfer agent and registrar, which may be a single entity, for the Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Registration Statement.

k. The Company shall cooperate with each Buyer who holds Registrable Securities being offered and the managing underwriter or underwriters as reasonably requested by them with respect to an applicable Registration Statement, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legends) representing Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to such Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may reasonably request and registered in such names as the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or the Buyer may request, and, within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement which includes Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for the Registrable Securities (with copies to each Buyer) an appropriate instruction and an opinion of such counsel in the form required by the transfer agent in order to issue the Registrable Securities free of restrictive legends.

l. At the reasonable request of a Buyer, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and any prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to make changes to the plan of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement.

m. The Company shall not, and shall not agree to, allow the holders of any securities of the Company, other than holders of the Registrable Securities, to include any of their securities in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof, or in any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof, without the consent of the Buyers. In addition, the Company shall not offer any securities for its own account or the account of others in any Registration Statement under Section 2(a) hereof, or in any amendment or supplement thereto under Section 3(b) hereof, without the consent of the Buyers.

n. [Reserved].

o. The Company shall use its best efforts to comply with all applicable laws related to a Registration Statement and offering and sale of securities and all applicable rules and regulations of governmental authorities in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC).

 

6


p. If required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“ FINRA ”) Corporate Financing Department, the Company shall promptly effect a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 with respect to the public offering contemplated by resales of securities under the Registration Statement (an “Issuer Filing”), and pay the filing fee required by such Issuer Filing. The Company shall use its best efforts to pursue the Issuer Filing until FINRA issues a letter confirming that it does not object to the terms of the offering contemplated by the Registration Statement.

q. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company may delay or suspend the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement, in its sole discretion, due to the non-disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company, the disclosure of which at the time is not in its best interest, in the good faith opinion of the Company (a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly notify each Buyer in writing of the existence of a Grace Period in conformity with the provisions of this Section 3(q) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin (such notice, a “Commencement Notice”); and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed forty-five (45) days, and such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate total of ninety (90) days during any 12-month period. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date specified by the Company in the Commencement Notice and shall end on and include the date each Buyer receives written notice of the termination of the Grace Period by the Company (which notice may be contained in the Commencement Notice). The provisions of Sections 3(a)(ii), 3(b) and 3(e) hereof shall not be applicable during any Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by Sections 3(a)(ii), 3(b) and 3(e) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable.

r. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a delay in the effectiveness of any Registration Statement (other than the Registration Statement filed with respect to the shares issuable under the Tranche 1 Notes) caused solely by the filing of a request for confidential treatment shall not be deemed a breach of the Company’s obligations set forth herein and in the case of each Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a), the Registration Deadline shall be deemed extended to the date that is five (5) business days after the date the SEC agrees to allow confidential treatment pursuant to such request or the date such request is withdrawn by the Company, as applicable.

4. OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER. In connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities, each Buyer shall have the following obligations:

a. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a Buyer that such Buyer shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement under which Registrable Securities will be registered, the Company shall notify each Buyer of the information the Company requires from such Buyer. Any such information shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. A Buyer must provide such information to the Company at least two (2) business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Buyer elects to have any Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement.

b. Each Buyer, by such Buyer’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer’s election to exclude all of the Buyer’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

c. In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) in which any Registrable Securities are to be included, the Buyer agrees to enter into and perform the Buyer’s obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities, unless the Buyer has notified the Company in writing of the Buyer’s election to exclude all of the Buyer’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

 

7


d. Each Buyer agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Sections 3(e), 3(f) or 3(q), the Buyer will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until the Buyer’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f) or notice from the Company of the termination of a Grace Period and, if so directed by the Company, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Buyer’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

e. Each Buyer agrees that it will not effect any disposition or other transfer of the Registrable Securities that would constitute a sale within the meaning of the Securities Act other than transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to, and as contemplated in, a Registration Statement, and that it will promptly notify the Company of any material changes in the information set forth in a Registration Statement furnished by or regarding such Buyer or its plan of distribution other than changes in the number of shares beneficially owned.

5. REGISTRATION FAILURE. In the event of a Registration Failure (as defined in the Notes), the Buyers shall be entitled to Failure Payments (as defined in the Notes) and such other rights as set forth in the Notes and the Facility Agreement.

6. EXPENSES OF REGISTRATION. All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions allocable to the sale of any Registrable Securities, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company (but not including fees and disbursements for counsel for any Buyer) shall be borne by the Company. All expenses of the Buyers incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, underwriting discounts and commissions and legal expenses incurred by any Buyer for review of any Registration Statement, shall be borne by the applicable Buyer.

7. INDEMNIFICATION. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

a. The Company will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) each Buyer, (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and each Person who controls any Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any, (iii) any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each Buyer in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 2(b) hereof, and (iv) the directors, officers, partners, employees and each Person who controls any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “ Claims ”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “ Violations ”). The Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything

 

8


to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 7(a) shall (A) not apply to a Claim arising out of or based upon a Violation to the extent that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or behalf of any Indemnified Person for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (B) shall not be available to the extent such Claim is based on a failure of the Indemnified Person to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, including a corrected prospectus, if such prospectus or corrected prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(e); and (C) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Buyer pursuant to Section 10 and shall be binding on any transferee.

b. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 7, deliver to the Company a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the Company shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Company so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Company and the Indemnified Person, as the case may be.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER , that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the Company, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Buyer, the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person and the Company would be inappropriate due to actual or potential material differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by Buyers. The failure to deliver written notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Company is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

c. Each Buyer will indemnify, hold harmless and defend (i) the Company, and (ii) the directors, officers, partners, managers, members, employees, agents and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, if any (each, a “Company Indemnified Person”), against any joint or several losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (collectively, together with actions, proceedings or inquiries by any regulatory or self-regulatory organization, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof, “ Indemnity Claims ”) to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Indemnity Claims arise out of or are based upon any Violation which occurs due to the inclusion by the Company in a Registration Statement of false or misleading information about a Buyer, where such information was furnished in writing to the Company by such Buyer or on behalf of such Buyer for the purpose of inclusion in such Registration Statement. Such Buyer shall reimburse the Company Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Indemnity Claim, provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7(c) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 8 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Buyers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, however, that a Buyer shall be liable under this Section 7(c) for only that amount of an Indemnity Claim as does not exceed the net amount of proceeds received by such Buyer as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company Indemnified Person.

d. Promptly after receipt by a Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Company Indemnified Person shall, if an Indemnity Claim in respect thereof is to be made against a Buyer under this Section 7, deliver to such Buyer a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Buyer shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the Buyer so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company Indemnified Person, as the case may be.

 

9


PROVIDED, HOWEVER , that a Company Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the applicable Buyer, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Company, the representation by such counsel of the Company Indemnified Person and the Buyer would be inappropriate due to actual or potential material differing interests between the Company Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. A Buyer shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Company Indemnified Persons, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Company. The failure to deliver written notice to a Buyer within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve the Buyer of any liability to the Company Indemnified Person under this Section 7, except to the extent that the Buyer is actually prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

8. CONTRIBUTION. To the extent any indemnification by the Company or any Buyer is prohibited or limited by law, each of the Company and each Buyer agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 7 to the fullest extent permitted by law, based upon a comparative fault standard .

9. REPORTS UNDER THE 1934 ACT. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, with a view to making available to the Buyers the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit the Buyers to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration the Company agrees to:

a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

c. furnish to the Buyers, so long as the Buyers own Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, furnish to the Buyers (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as required for applicable provisions of Rule 144, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyers to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

10. ASSIGNMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Buyer to any transferee of all or any portion of the Registrable Securities (provided such transfer is permitted under the Notes) if: (i) the Buyer agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment, (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (iii) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein. In the event that a Buyer transfers all or any portion of its Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section, the Company shall have at least five (5) Trading Days following the receipt of such notice to file any amendments or supplements necessary to keep a Registration Statement current and effective pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act, and the commencement date of any Event of Failure or Event of Default (as defined in the Notes or Facility Agreement) under the Notes or Facility Agreement caused thereby will be extended by ten (10) days.

11. AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with written consent of the Company and the holders holding a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Notes and a majority in interest of then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 11 shall be binding upon each of the Buyers, all holders of the Notes and Registrable Securities and the Company.

 

10
