STRONGBRIDGE BIOPHARMA plc

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

We are a global, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet needs.

Our first commercial product is Keveyis (dichlorphenamide), the first and only treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of primary periodic paralysis (“PPP”), a group of rare hereditary disorders that cause episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis.

We have two clinical-stage product candidates for rare endocrine diseases, Recorlev and veldoreotide. Recorlev (levoketoconazole) is a cortisol synthesis inhibitor currently being studied for the treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. Veldoreotide is a next-generation somatostatin analog being investigated for potential applications in conditions amenable to somatostatin receptor activation, such as acromegaly. Both levoketoconazole and veldoreotide have received orphan designation from the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”).

In January 2018, Strongbridge Ireland Limited, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to Macrilen (macimorelin), the first and only oral drug approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of patients with adult growth hormone deficiency. We launched Macrilen in the United States in July 2018. In December 2018, we sold Strongbridge Ireland Limited to Novo Nordisk Healthcare AG (“Novo”) for $145 million plus the right to receive tiered royalties on net sales of Macrilen through 2027. In addition, Strongbridge U.S. Inc., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into an agreement with Novo Nordisk Inc. (“NNI”), a subsidiary of Novo, pursuant to which NNI funded the costs of 23 of our field-based employees to provide full-time ongoing services to NNI, including the promotion of Macrilen in the United States, for a period of three years. Novo also purchased 5.2 million of our ordinary shares at a purchase price of $7.00 per share. In December 2019, we reached an agreement with Novo to terminate the services agreement. We received a $6 million payment in connection with such termination and we no longer provide services to Novo.

Liquidity

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents of $59.9 million at June 30, 2020, will be sufficient to allow us to fund planned operations for at least 12 months beyond the issuance date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise additional capital. We plan to continue to fund our operations and capital funding needs through equity or debt financing along with revenues from Keveyis. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies and basis of presentation

Basis of presentation

These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the operating results and financial position for the periods presented.

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated

5

Table of Contents

financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2020 (the “2019 Annual Report”). Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the notes to the audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to our significant accounting policies.

Reclassifications

The consolidated financial statements contain certain reclassifications within our consolidated statements of cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2019 due to an immaterial incorrect classification of investments in marketable securities and the related impact on investing activities.

Leases

We account for leases in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). We determine if an arrangement is a lease at contract inception. A lease exists when a contract conveys to us the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The definition of a lease embodies two conditions: (1) there is an identified asset in the contract that is land or a depreciable asset (i.e., property, plant, and equipment), and (2) we have the right to control the use of the identified asset.

Operating leases where we are the lessee are included in Right of use (“ROU”) assets and Accrued and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The lease liabilities are initially and subsequently measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date.

Key estimates and judgments include how we determined (1) the discount rate we use to discount the unpaid lease payments to present value, (2) lease term and (3) lease payments.

ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. Because our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our incremental borrowing rate for a lease is the rate of interest we would have to pay on a collateralized basis to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments under similar terms.

The lease term for all of our leases includes the noncancellable period of the lease. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease asset or liability are comprised of our fixed payments.

The ROU asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the lease commencement date less any lease incentives received.

For operating leases, the ROU asset is subsequently measured throughout the lease term at the carrying amount of the lease liability, plus (minus) any prepaid (accrued) lease payments, less the unamortized balance of lease incentives received. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

We monitor for events or changes in circumstances that require a reassessment of a lease. If a reassessment results in the remeasurement of a lease liability, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the corresponding ROU asset unless doing so would reduce the carrying amount of the ROU asset to an amount less than zero. In that case, the amount of the adjustment that would result in a negative ROU asset balance is recorded in profit or loss.

6

Table of Contents

We have elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for all short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less. We recognize the lease payments associated with our short-term leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments associated with these leases are recognized and presented in the same manner as for all of our other leases.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities

We consider all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of account balances at banks and money market accounts, respectively.

We occasionally invest our excess cash balances in marketable debt securities of highly rated financial institutions. We seek to diversify our investments and limit the amount of investment concentrations for individual institutions, maturities and investment types. We classify marketable debt securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record such securities at fair value. We classify these securities as current assets as these investments are intended to be available to us for use in funding current operations. There were no marketable securities as of June 30, 2020.

Unrealized gains and losses on marketable debt securities are recorded as a separate component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) included in stockholders’ equity.

Segment information

Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. We view our operations and manage our business in one operating segment.

Net loss per share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period, including any dilutive effect from outstanding stock options or other equity-based awards. Shares used in the diluted net loss per share calculations exclude anti-dilutive ordinary share equivalents, which currently consist of outstanding stock options, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and equity-classified warrants.

The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and 2019, as they would be anti-dilutive:

Recent accounting pronouncements – not yet adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires an entity to measure and recognize expected credit losses for certain financial instruments, including trade receivables, as an allowance that reflects the entity's current estimate of credit losses expected to be incurred. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the standard requires allowances to be recorded through net income instead of directly reducing the amortized cost of the investment under the

7

Table of Contents

current other-than-temporary impairment model. The standard is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on our financial statements or internal controls.

3. Revenue recognition

Product sales, net

We sell Keveyis to one specialty pharmacy provider (the “Customer”), who is the exclusive distributor of Keveyis in the United States. The Customer subsequently resells Keveyis to patients, most of whom are covered by payors that may provide for government-mandated or privately negotiated rebates with respect to the purchase of Keveyis.

Revenues from sales of Keveyis are recognized when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control of the product to the Customer. Transfer of control occurs upon receipt of the product by the Customer. We expense incremental costs related to the set-up of contracts with the Customer when incurred, as these costs do not meet the criteria for capitalization.

Reserves for variable consideration

Revenues from sales of Keveyis are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and that result from rebates, co-pay assistance and other allowances that are offered between us and the patients’ payors. There is no variable consideration reserve for returns as we do not accept returns of Keveyis. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to the Customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than the Customer). Where appropriate, these estimates may take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the contract. The amount of variable consideration that is included in the transaction price may be constrained, and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur in a future period. Actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. We reassess our estimates on an ongoing basis. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust our estimates. Any such adjustments would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Trade Discount: We provide the Customer with a discount that is explicitly stated in our contract and is recorded as a reduction of revenue in the period the related product revenue is recognized. In addition, we receive sales order management, data and distribution services from the Customer. To the extent the services received are distinct from our sale of Keveyis to the Customer, these payments are classified in Selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss.

Funded Co-pay Assistance Program: We contract with a third-party to manage the co-pay assistance program intended to provide financial assistance to qualified insured patients. The calculation of the accrual for co-pay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that we expect to receive associated with Keveyis that has been recognized as revenue, but remains in the distribution channel inventories at the end of each reporting period. These payments are consideration payable to the Customer and the related reserve is recorded in the same period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

Government Rebates: We are subject to discount obligations under state Medicaid programs and Medicare. We estimate our Medicaid and Medicare rebates for the estimated patient mix. These reserves are recorded in the same

8

Table of Contents

period the related revenue is recognized, resulting in a reduction of product revenue and the establishment of a current liability, which is included in accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. For Medicaid, accruals are based on estimates of future Medicaid beneficiary utilization applied to the Medicaid unit rebate formula established by the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products are responsible for 70% of the patient’s cost of branded prescription drugs related to the Medicare Part D Coverage Gap. In order to estimate the cost to us of this Medicare coverage gap responsibility, we estimate the number of patients in the prescription drug coverage gap for whom we will owe an additional liability under the Medicare Part D program. Our liability for these rebates consists of estimates of claims for the current quarter and estimated future claims that will be made for Keveyis that have been recognized as revenue, but remains in the Customer’s inventory at the end of each reporting period.

Temporary Supply and Patient Assistance Programs: We provide free Keveyis to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria for either the Temporary Supply Program or the Patient Assistance Program. Patients who meet the Temporary Supply Program eligibility criteria may receive a temporary supply of free Keveyis for no more than sixty days while there is a determination of the patient’s third-party insurance, prescription drug benefit or other third-party coverage for Keveyis. The Patient Assistance Program provides free Keveyis for up to twelve months to uninsured patients who satisfy pre-established criteria for financial need. We do not recognize any revenue related to these free products and the associated costs are classified in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

4. Fair value measurement

We follow FASB accounting guidance on fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. Because of their short-term nature, the amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and accounts payable approximate fair value.

The guidance requires fair value measurements to maximize the use of “observable inputs.” The three-level hierarchy of inputs to measure fair value are as follows: 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Because of their short-term nature, the amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash and accounts payable approximate fair value.

Level 2: Significant observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). The fair values of the outstanding warrants were measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Inputs used to determine estimated fair value of the warrant liabilities include the estimated fair value of the underlying stock at the valuation date, the estimated term of the warrants, risk-free interest rates, and the expected volatility of the underlying stock. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities were the volatility rate and the estimated term of the warrants. Generally, increases and decreases in the fair value of the underlying stock and estimated term would result in a directionally similar impact to the fair value measurement.

We did not have any transfers between the different levels.

Our finite-lived intangible asset consists of acquired developed product rights obtained from our acquisition of Keveyis (dichlorphenamide) from a subsidiary of Taro Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Taro”).

Pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Supply Agreement that we entered into with Taro in December 2016, we paid Taro an upfront payment in two installments of $1 million in December 2016 and $7.5 million in March 2017, and will pay an aggregate of $7.5 million in potential milestones upon the achievement of certain product sales targets.  Taro has agreed to continue to manufacture Keveyis for us under an exclusive supply agreement through the orphan exclusivity period. We are obligated to purchase certain annual minimum amounts of product totaling approximately $29 million over a six-year period. We have concluded that the supply price payable by us exceeds fair value and, therefore, have used a discounted cash flow method with a probability assumption to value the payments in excess of fair value at $29.3 million, for which we have recorded an intangible asset and corresponding liability. This liability is being reduced as we purchase inventory over the term of the Supply Agreement that we entered into with Taro.  In addition, we incurred transaction costs of $2.4 million. The transaction resulted in the recording of an intangible asset of $40.2 million. This asset is being amortized over an eight-year period using the straight-line method.

We recorded amortization expense of $1.3 million and $2.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

6. Long-term debt

On May 19, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), Strongbridge Biopharma plc (“Strongbridge”), along with Strongbridge U.S. Inc., Cortendo AB (publ) and Strongbridge Dublin Limited, each a subsidiary of Strongbridge (the “Subsidiaries,” and together with Strongbridge, the “Company”), entered into a $30 million Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund L.P. (“Avenue”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders named therein and from time to time a party thereto (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Strongbridge U.S. Inc. (the “Borrower”) borrowed $10 million (the “Initial Loan”) from the Lenders at closing.  

The Borrower may borrow up to two additional tranches of $10 million under the Loan Agreement. The first $10 million tranche (the “Second Loan”) is available between October 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 if Strongbridge achieves positive top-line data for RECORLEV in its Phase 3 LOGICS clinical trial. The second $10 million tranche (the “Third Loan” and, together with the Initial Loan and the Second Loan, the “Loans”) is available between October 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022 if Strongbridge achieves FDA approval of RECORLEV and subject to Avenue’s investment committee approval.  

The Loan Agreement has a four-year term, no minimum revenue or cash balance financial covenants and an interest-only period of up to 36 months assuming the Company achieves positive top-line data for RECORLEV in its Phase 3 LOGICS clinical trial and the Company receives FDA approval of RECORLEV. The Borrower paid a commitment fee of $200,000 (1% of the amounts of the Initial Loan and the Second Loan).

Amounts borrowed under the Loan Agreement accrue interest at a floating rate per annum (based on a year of 365 days) equal to the sum of (a) the greater of (x) the Prime Rate reported in The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the month that immediately precedes the month in which the interest will accrue, and (y) 3.25%, plus (b) 6.75%. Accrued interest is payable in advance on the first day of each month and on the maturity date; provided however that no principal payments are required for the first 12 months (which the period is extended for up to 36 months subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions under the Loan Agreement). The Borrower is also required to pay the Lenders a final payment fee upon repayment or prepayment of the Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. The interest rate as of June 30, 2020 was 10%.

The Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement at any time upon prior notice to the Lenders subject to a prepayment premium (which reduces after the first year) and the payment of the pro rata portion of the final payment fee (to the extent not already paid) based on the amount of Loans being prepaid. In certain circumstances, including a change of control and certain asset sales or licensing transactions, the Borrower may be required to prepay all or a portion of the Loans outstanding, and, to the extent required under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the applicable prepayment premium and final payment fee.

In connection with the execution of the Loan Agreement, Strongbridge issued warrants to the Lenders to purchase an aggregate of 267,390 ordinary shares at an exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) equal to the lower of (i) $1.87 (which is equal to the five-day volume weighted average price as of the trading day immediately prior to execution of the financing agreement) or (ii) the effective price of any bona fide equity financing prior to December 31, 2020 (subject to certain adjustments described in the Warrant).  The Warrant will be exercisable, in full or in part, at any time prior to five years following the issue date and contains customary provisions for assumption or exchange upon a change of control or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company. We have accounted for these warrants as equity, and the fair value is recorded into Additional paid-in capital.

Avenue has the right to convert up to $3 million of the aggregate principal amount of any loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement into Strongbridge ordinary shares at a price per share of the lower of (a) $2.24, or (b) 20% above the effective price of any bona fide equity financing of Strongbridge prior to December 31, 2020, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Loan Agreement. We have accounted for this beneficial conversion feature, and the fair value is recorded into Additional paid-in capital.

8. Commitments and contingencies

(a) Commitments to Taro Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd.

In December 2016, we acquired the U.S. marketing rights to Keveyis (dichlorphenamide) from Taro. Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, we paid Taro an upfront payment in two installments of $1 million in December 2016 and $7.5 million in March 2017, and will pay an aggregate of $7.5 million in potential milestones upon the achievement of certain product sales targets. Taro has agreed to continue to manufacture Keveyis for us under an exclusive supply agreement through the orphan exclusivity period. We are obligated to purchase certain annual minimum amounts of product totaling approximately $29 million over a six-year period. As of June 30, 2020, our remaining obligation was $19.0 million. Our Supply Agreement with Taro may extend beyond the orphan exclusivity period unless terminated by either party pursuant to the terms of the agreement. If terminated by Taro at the conclusion of the orphan exclusivity period, we have the right to manufacture the product on our own or have the product manufactured by a third party on our behalf. We are also required to reimburse Taro for its royalty obligation resulting from its sale of Keveyis to us.

(b) Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business and in connection with the sale of assets and businesses and other transactions, we often indemnify our counterparties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with the transaction or that are related to events and activities prior to or following a transaction, such as breaches of contracts, unfavorable tax consequences and employee liabilities. If the indemnified party were to make a successful claim pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, we may be required to reimburse the loss and such amount could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Where appropriate, the obligation for such indemnifications is recorded as a liability. Because the amount of these types of indemnifications generally is not specifically stated, the overall

12

Table of Contents

maximum amount of the obligation under such indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated. However, we believe that the likelihood of a material liability being triggered under these indemnification obligations is not probable at this time.

9. Taxes

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities and operating loss carryforwards and other attributes using enacted rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

We assess our ability to realize deferred tax assets. Changes in future earnings projections, among other factors, may cause us to adjust our valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Any such adjustments would impact our income tax expense in the period in which it is determined that these factors have changed.

We did not incur income any tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

CARES Act

The CARES Act allows companies to defer payments of employer Social Security payroll taxes that are otherwise owed for wage payments made after March 27, 2020 through December 31, 2020. Fifty percent of the taxes deferred are required to be paid by December 31, 2021 with the remaining fifty percent required to be paid by December 31, 2022. As of June 30, 2020, we have accrued $100,000 of Social Security payroll taxes that will be deferred under the CARES Act. We expect to continue to defer payroll taxes through the end of the year and pay them as described above.

11. Stock-based compensation

Our board of directors has adopted the 2017 Inducement Plan (the “Inducement Plan”). The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards to new employees. The purpose of the Inducement Plan is to attract valued

13

Table of Contents

employees by offering them a greater stake in our success and a closer identity with us, and to encourage ownership of our ordinary shares by such employees. The Inducement Plan became effective on February 23, 2017. As of June 30, 2020, 1,373,903 shares are available for issuance pursuant to the Inducement Plan.

Our board of directors has adopted, and our shareholders have approved, the 2015 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The 2015 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to our employees and any parent or subsidiary corporation’s employees, and for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock awards, and RSUs to our employees, directors and consultants and our parent or subsidiary corporations’ employees and consultants. The 2015 Plan became effective on September 3, 2015. As of June 30, 2020, 332,429 shares are available for issuance pursuant to the 2015 Plan.

Our board of directors has adopted, and our shareholders have approved, the Non-Employee Director Equity Compensation Plan (the “Non-Employee Director Plan”). The Non-Employee Director Plan provides for the grant of nonstatutory stock options, stock awards, and RSUs to our non-employee directors. The Non-Employee Director Plan became effective on September 3, 2015. As of June 30, 2020, 71,029 shares are available for issuance pursuant to the Non-Employee Director Plan.

Restricted stock units

We grant RSUs to employees and to members of our board of directors. RSUs that are granted to employees vest two years from the date of issuance, provided that the employee is employed by us on such vesting date. RSUs that are granted to directors, vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, provided that the director continues to serve as a member of the board of directors continuously from the grant date through such one-year anniversary. All RSUs will fully vest upon a change of control of our company. If and when the RSUs vest, we will issue one ordinary share for each whole RSU that has vested, subject to satisfaction of the employee’s or director’s tax withholding obligations. The RSUs will cease to be outstanding upon the issuance of ordinary shares upon vesting. We recorded expense related to RSUs, which is included in the stock-based compensation table above, of $498,000 and $533,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $1 million and $771,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs is $2.0 million, which we expect to recognize over an estimated weighted-average period of 1.29 years.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and the audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2019 and related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations that are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2020. As used in this Quarterly Report, unless the context suggests otherwise, “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Strongbridge” refer to Strongbridge Biopharma plc.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our strategy, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, prospective products, size of market or patient population, plans, objectives of management, expected market growth and the anticipated effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on our business, operating results and financial condition are forward-looking

statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events, competitive dynamics, and healthcare, regulatory and scientific developments and depend on the economic circumstances that may or may not occur in the future or may occur on longer or shorter timelines than anticipated. Although we believe that we have a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Quarterly Report, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, in each case under the heading “Risk Factors.” In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this Quarterly Report speaks only as of the date of such statement, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report except as required by law. You should also read carefully the factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2019 Annual Report and this Quarterly Report to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a global, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of therapies for rare diseases with significant unmet needs.

Our first commercial product is Keveyis (dichlorphenamide), the first and only treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for hyperkalemic, hypokalemic, and related variants of primary periodic paralysis (“PPP”), a group of rare hereditary disorders that cause episodes of muscle weakness or paralysis.

We have two clinical-stage product candidates for rare endocrine diseases, Recorlev and veldoreotide. Recorlev (levoketoconazole) is a cortisol synthesis inhibitor currently being studied for the treatment of endogenous Cushing's syndrome. Veldoreotide is a next-generation somatostatin analog being investigated for potential applications in conditions amenable to somatostatin receptor activation. Both levoketoconazole and veldoreotide have received orphan designation from the FDA and the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”).

In January 2018, Strongbridge Ireland Limited, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to Macrilen (macimorelin), the first and only oral drug approved by the FDA for the diagnosis of patients with adult growth hormone deficiency. We launched Macrilen in the United States in July 2018. In December 2018, we sold Strongbridge Ireland Limited to Novo Nordisk Healthcare AG (“Novo”) for $145 million plus the right to receive tiered royalties on net sales of Macrilen through 2027. In addition, Strongbridge U.S. Inc., another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into an agreement with Novo Nordisk Inc. (“NNI”), a subsidiary of Novo, pursuant to which NNI funded the costs of 23 of our field-based employees to provide full-time ongoing services to NNI, including the promotion of Macrilen in the United States, for a period of three years. Novo also purchased 5.2 million of our ordinary shares at a purchase price of $7.00 per share. In December 2019, we reached an agreement with Novo to terminate the services agreement. We received a $6 million payment in connection with such termination and we no longer provide services to Novo.

Recent Developments

On July 2, 2020, our board of directors appointed John H. Johnson to the position of Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

In June 2020, we conducted a pre-NDA meeting with the Division of General Endocrinology (DGE) of the FDA to review plans relating to our proposed NDA submission for Recorlev, with an anticipated submission date approximately 6 months following disclosure of topline results from the LOGICS study.  Based on feedback received from DGE during this meeting, we believe that the LOGICS and SONICS study results together will provide a sufficient clinical-studies basis for a substantive review of an NDA and that it will be a review issue as to whether the data will be sufficient to support approval of the NDA. There can be no assurance that DGE will determine that the totality of data included in the NDA, including the results from our SONICS and LOGICS studies, will be sufficient to warrant approval of the NDA for Recorlev.

COVID-19

COVID-19 emerged in Asia at the end of calendar year 2019. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and created significant volatility and disruption in the financial markets.

While the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we have experienced business disruptions as a result of the outbreak. For example, most of our corporate employees are currently working remotely from home, we have suspended all commercial air and train travel for business, and any other employee travel is done in accordance with the state and local guidelines. In addition, our field teams have had limited access to visit physicians.

We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and on our business operations. However, at this time, it is difficult to predict how long the potential operational impacts of COVID-19 will remain in effect or to what degree they will impact our operations and financial results. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, as well as our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in their respective expected time frames.

Financial Operations Overview

The following discussion sets forth certain components of our statements of operations as well as factors that impact those items.

Product Sales, net

Revenues from sales of our products are recorded at the net sales price (transaction price), which includes estimates of variable consideration for which reserves are established and that result from rebates, co-pay assistance and other allowances that are offered by us and the patients’ payors. These reserves are based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable (if the amount is payable to our customer) or a current liability (if the amount is payable to a party other than our customer). Where appropriate, these estimates may take into consideration a range of possible outcomes that are probability-weighted for relevant factors such as our historical experience, current contractual and statutory requirements, specific known market events and trends, industry data and forecasted customer buying and payment patterns. Overall, these reserves reflect our best estimates of the amount of consideration to which we are entitled based on the terms of the contract. For a complete discussion of accounting for net product revenue, see Note 3, "Revenue recognition" to our consolidated financial statements.

17

Table of Contents

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes third-party acquisition costs, third-party warehousing and product distribution charges.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include personnel costs, costs for outside professional services and other allocated expenses. Personnel costs consist of salaries, bonuses, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation. Outside professional services consist of legal, accounting and audit services, commercial evaluation and strategy services, sales, market access, marketing, investor relations, public relations, recruiting and other consulting services.

Research and Development Expenses

We expense all research and development costs as incurred. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates, including:

personnel-related costs, such as salaries, bonuses, benefits, travel and other related expenses, including stock-based compensation;
expenses incurred under our agreements with contract research organizations (CROs), clinical sites, contract laboratories, medical institutions and consultants that plan and conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials. We recognize costs for each grant project, preclinical study or clinical trial that we conduct based on our evaluation of the progress to completion, including the use of information and data provided to us by our external research and development vendors and clinical sites;
costs associated with regulatory filings; and
costs of acquiring preclinical study and clinical trial materials, and costs associated with formulation, process development and statistical analysis.

We do not allocate personnel-related research and development costs, including stock-based compensation or other indirect costs, to specific programs, as they are deployed across multiple projects under development.

Amortization of Intangible Asset

Amortization of intangible asset relates to the amortization of our product rights to Keveyis. This intangible asset is being amortized over an eight-year period using the straight-line method.

Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net, consists of unrealized loss or gain on the remeasurement of the fair value of the warrant liability, interest income generated from our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, foreign exchange gains and losses and gains and losses on investments. In 2019, we recorded income and expenses relating to our service agreement with NNI to fund the costs of 23 of our field-based employees who provided full-time ongoing services to NNI, including the promotion of Macrilen in the United States.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

This management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We believe there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and significant judgments and estimates as discussed in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2019 Annual Report.

Product sales from Keveyis increased primarily due to the an increase the number of patients on Keveyis and an increase in price. Cost of sales decreased due to changes in the assumptions underlying the allocation between the purchase price of our inventory and the supply agreement.

Net product sales were $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of $4.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. Product sales from Keveyis increased primarily due to an increase in the number of patients on Keveyis and an increase in price. Cost of sales decreased due to changes in the assumptions underlying the allocation between the purchase price of our inventory and the supply agreement..

Research and development expenses were $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $2.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to decreases in product development and supporting activities resulting from the completion of our SONICS trial in 2019 and higher costs related to our LOGICS trial in 2019, offset by an increase in costs from our OPTICS trial in 2020.

Research and development expenses were $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of $1.6 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was due to decreases in product development and supporting activities resulting from the completion of our SONICS trial in 2019 and higher costs related to our LOGICS trial in 2019, offset by an increase in costs from our OPTICS trial in 2020.

Total other (expense) income, net, decreased by $16.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was largely due to a net $16.1 million change in the revaluation of the fair value of our warrant liability for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The change in the warrant liability is primarily due to increases in our stock price.

Total other (expense) income, net, decreased by $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was largely due to a net $13.7 million change in the revaluation of the fair value of our warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The change in the warrant liability is primarily due to increases in our stock price.

Investing Activities

The increase in net cash provided by investing activities resulted from the maturities of our marketable securities.

Financing Activities

The increase in net cash provided by financing activities was due to the proceeds received under our Term Loan Agreement with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund L.P.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are continuously and critically reviewing our liquidity and anticipated capital requirements in light of our clinical trial activities and the significant uncertainty created by the COVID-19 global pandemic.

On May 19, 2020, we and our subsidiaries, Strongbridge U.S. Inc., Cortendo AB (publ) and Strongbridge Dublin Limited, entered into a $30 million Term Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund L.P. (“Avenue”), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders named therein and from time to time a party thereto (the “Lenders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, Strongbridge U.S. Inc. (the “Borrower”) borrowed $10.0 million (the “Initial Loan”) from the Lenders at closing.  

The Borrower may borrow up to two additional tranches of $10.0 million under the Loan Agreement. The first $10 million tranche is available between October 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 if we achieve positive top-line data for RECORLEV in our Phase 3 LOGICS clinical trial. The second $10 million tranche is available between October 1, 2021 and March 31, 2022 if we achieve FDA approval of RECORLEV and subject to Avenue’s investment committee approval. See Note 6, "Long-term debt" to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the Loan Agreement.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents of $59.9 million at June 30, 2020 will be sufficient to allow us to fund planned operations for at least 12 months beyond the issuance date of these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Cash used to fund operating expenses is affected by the timing of when we make payments to our vendors, as reflected in the change in our outstanding accounts payable and accrued expenses set forth in the consolidated financial statements, included in this Quarterly Report.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including the following:

the amount of revenue that we receive from sales of Keveyis;
the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing, distribution and administrative capabilities;
the scope, rate of progress, results and cost of our clinical trials testing and other related activities for Recorlev and veldoreotide and our ability to prepare and file our NDA submissions on a timely basis and receive approval;
the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue, including any additional product candidates we may in-license or acquire;
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

22

Table of Contents

the cost of defending potential intellectual property disputes, including patent infringement actions brought by third parties against us or our product candidates;
the cost, timing and outcomes of regulatory approvals, including product labeling;
adequate reimbursement from payors for Recorlev and Keveyis on a timely basis;
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish, including any required milestone and royalty payments thereunder;
the emergence of competing technologies and their achieving commercial success before we do or other adverse market developments; and
any extended impact of COVID-19.

We may never achieve profitability, and unless and until we do, we will continue to need to raise additional capital. We plan to continue to fund our operations and capital funding needs through equity or debt financing along with revenues from Keveyis. There can be no assurances, however, that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have variable interests in variable interest entities or any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Except for the broad effects of COVID-19 including its negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets, there have been no material changes to our market risk exposures since December 31, 2019. In addition, as described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” there may be implications for our business with regard to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations thereunder, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020 were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, most of our corporate employees, including all those involved in the operation of our internal controls over financial report, have been working remotely since mid-March 2020.  Despite this change, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We are continuously monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal controls to minimize any impact it may have on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company is not currently involved in any legal matters arising in the normal course of business. From time to time, the Company could become involved in disputes and various litigation matters that arise in the normal course of business. These may include disputes and lawsuits related to intellectual property, licensing, contract law and employee relations matters.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our 2019 Annual Report could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risk factors discussed in our 2019 Annual Report do not identify all risks that we face because our business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or that we currently consider to be immaterial to our operations. The following is an update to our risk factors.

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, or the future outbreak of any other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Further, the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and financial markets and could potentially create widespread business continuity issues of an as yet unknown magnitude and duration.

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread across the world, including every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020 the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel, among other protective measures. While the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a material impact on our business operations to date, we have experienced business disruptions as a result of the outbreak and expect that the continued spread of COVID-19 could materially and adversely impact our operations due to, among other factors:

a general decline in business activity,
the destabilization of the markets and negative impacts on the healthcare system globally could negatively impact our ability to market and sell Keveyis, including through the disruption of health care activities in general, the inability of our sales team to contact and/or visit doctors in person, patients’ interest in starting or

24

Table of Contents

staying on drugs, patients’ ability to obtain or maintain insurance coverage for Keveyis and our ability to support patients that presently use Keveyis;
difficulty accessing the capital and credit markets on favorable terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets, or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions which could affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations;
the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, especially if a significant number of them or any of their family members are impacted or if any of our senior leaders are impacted for an extended period of time;
the potential negative impact on our ability to monitor the investigative sites participating in our LOGICs study in person or even remotely, which could result in a deviation from pre-pandemic protocols and/or site monitoring and data management plans, and delays in our ability to perform data-related tasks dependent on communications with personnel at the investigative sites, such as resolution of open data queries, the cumulative effects of which could lead to delayed or missed identification of non-compliance with good clinical practice (GCP), and/or unrecognized data errors.
potential delays in the preparation and submission of applications for regulatory approval of our products, as well as potential delays in FDA’s ability to review applications in a timely manner consistent with past practices;
the potential negative impact on our ability to manufacture and distribute our products, including as a result of disruptions to the businesses of third parties that manufacture and distribute our products;
potential difficulty in adequately overseeing and/or evaluating the manufacturing process at the facilities that will manufacture future commercial supplies of Recorlev, if approved;
a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

We continue to monitor the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and on our business operations. However, at this time, it is difficult to predict how long the potential operational impacts of COVID-19 will remain in effect or to what degree they will impact our operations and financial results in the future. An extended period of global supply chain and economic disruption could materially affect our business, results of operations, access to sources of liquidity and financial condition, as well as our ability to execute our business strategies and initiatives in their respective expected time frames.

The regulatory approval process of the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency may be lengthy,

time consuming and unpredictable.

We cannot be certain that any of our product candidates will be successful in clinical trials or receive regulatory approval. The FDA, EMA and other comparable foreign regulatory agencies have substantial discretion in the approval process and in determining when or whether regulatory approval will be obtained for any of our product candidates. Even if we believe the data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates are promising, such data may not be sufficient to support approval by the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency. Many companies that believed their product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials have nonetheless failed to obtain regulatory approval for the product candidates.

Furthermore, while certain of our employees have prior experience with submitting marketing applications to the FDA, EMA and comparable foreign regulatory agencies, we, as a company, have not submitted such applications for our product candidates. Applications for any of our product candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval for many reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency may disagree with the design or implementation of our clinical trials or our interpretation of data from nonclinical trials or clinical trials;

25

Table of Contents

the population studied in the clinical program may not be sufficiently broad or representative to assure safety in the full population for which we seek approval, including reliance on foreign clinical data;
the data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates may not be sufficient to support a finding that has statistical significance or clinical meaningfulness or support the submission of an NDA or other submission, or to obtain regulatory approval in the United States or elsewhere;
we may be unable to demonstrate to the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency that a product candidate’s risk-benefit ratio for its proposed indication is acceptable;
the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency may fail to approve the manufacturing processes, test procedures and specifications or facilities of third-party manufacturers with which we contract for clinical and commercial supplies; and
the approval policies or regulations of the FDA, EMA or any comparable foreign regulatory agency may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval.

In communications we had with the FDA, they recommended use of a concurrent control group in our SONICS Phase 3 clinical trial. However, SONICS utilizes an open-label, single-arm design because use of a placebo control in a parallel-arm monotherapy design was considered unethical or infeasible to enroll, depending on the specific country or clinical trial site under consideration. Studies lacking an active control group are more likely to be subject to unanticipated variability in study results that can potentially lead to flawed conclusions because they do not allow for discrimination of patient outcomes. In August 2018, we announced statistically significant positive top-line results from our SONICS Phase 3 clinical trial. However, even if we achieve the clinical trial’s endpoints for this clinical trial, the FDA or other regulatory authorities could view our study results as potentially biased due to our lack of an active control group.

Our LOGICS study, which is a second Phase 3 clinical trial of Recorlev for the treatment of endogenous Cushing’s syndrome, will supplement the long-term efficacy and safety data from the ongoing SONICS trial via a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design that will randomize approximately 54 patients, in an attempt to address our lack of an active control group in our SONICS trial. There can be no assurances, however, that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will view the LOGICS study results as sufficient.

In March 2019, we conducted a Type C meeting with the Division of Metabolic and Endocrine Products (DMEP) of the FDA.  DMEP stated in its meeting minutes that the FDA generally requests that a sponsor conduct two adequate and well-controlled clinical studies for the proposed indication of a drug candidate under 21 CFR 314.126(b)(2).  DMEP also noted that the FDA recognizes situations when a single trial may be sufficient.  DMEP reiterated that the characteristics of an “adequate and well-controlled” investigation under 21 CFR 314.126 include the use of a control group (e.g., placebo concurrent control, dose-comparison concurrent control), randomization and evaluation of primary endpoints that directly measure clinical benefits, or supported by evidence of clinical benefit. For this reason, while DMEP indicated that it would consider, as a review issue, the adequacy of an NDA submission with data from the SONICS trial as the sole Phase 3 evidence supporting the efficacy of RECORLEV, DMEP nonetheless recommended that we complete the LOGICS trial (which is double-blinded, randomized and placebo-controlled) and include the results from the LOGICS trial in addition to data from the SONICS trial in our NDA submission.  We currently expect to receive LOGICS top-line data by the end of the first quarter of 2020 (compared to our prior projection of the end of 2019) and submit an NDA for Recorlev in the third quarter of 2020 that will include data from each of the SONICS and LOGICS trials.  In addition, the DMEP stated in its meeting minutes that our clinical pharmacology program for Recorlev, as described to them, appears reasonable to support an NDA filing for Recorlev provided that the data generated are found to be suitable.

In June 2020, we conducted a pre-NDA meeting with the Division of General Endocrinology (DGE) of the FDA to review plans relating to our proposed NDA submission for Recorlev, with an anticipated submission date approximately 6 months following disclosure of topline results from the LOGICS study.  Based on feedback received from DGE during this meeting, we believe that the LOGICS and SONICS study results together will provide a sufficient clinical-studies basis for a substantive review of an NDA and that it will be a review issue as to whether the data will be

26

Table of Contents

sufficient to support approval of the NDA. There can be no assurance that DGE will determine that the totality of data included in the NDA, including the results from our SONICS and LOGICS studies, will be sufficient to warrant approval of the NDA for Recorlev.

In addition, following FDA consultation, we have determined that the 505(b)(2) approval pathway, which permits an NDA applicant to rely on data from studies that were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference, is the appropriate pathway for a Recorlev NDA.  We intend to rely on published literature and the FDA’s prior findings concerning the safety and/or effectiveness of ketoconazole in our NDA for Recorlev and on similar processes in other jurisdictions.  There can be no assurances, however, that the 505(b)(2) approval pathway in the United States, or similar approval pathways outside of the United States, will be available for Recorlev or that the FDA or other regulatory authorities will approve Recorlev through an application based on such pathways.

We generally plan to seek regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates in the United States, the European Union and other key global markets. To obtain regulatory approval in other countries, we must comply with regulatory requirements of such other countries regarding safety, efficacy, chemistry, manufacturing and controls, clinical trials, commercial sales, pricing and distribution of our product candidates. Even if we are successful in obtaining approval in one jurisdiction, we cannot ensure that we will obtain approval in any other jurisdictions. Failure to obtain marketing authorization for our product candidates in any jurisdiction will result in our being unable to market and sell such products. Similarly, regulatory agencies may not approve the labeling claims that are necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of our product candidates.

Any of our current or future product candidates could take a significantly longer time to gain regulatory approval than we expect or may never gain regulatory approval. This could delay or eliminate any potential product revenue by delaying or terminating the potential commercialization of our product candidates.

of the Termination Date or (ii) the date that Executive becomes covered under a subsequent employer’s medical and dental plans; and (e) the acceleration of vesting of all unvested equity or equity based awards held by Executive as of the Termination Date.
Section 3.04Other Terminations.  If Executive’s employment hereunder is terminated (a) by Executive without Good Reason; (b) by the Company for Cause; or (c) due to Executive’s Disability, the Term shall expire as of the Termination Date and Executive shall be entitled to the Accrued Obligations.
Section 3.05Release.  Executive’s entitlement to the payments (other than the Accrued Obligations) and benefits described in this Article III is expressly contingent upon Executive providing the Company with a signed release that is attached hereto as Attachment A (the “Release”).  To be effective, such Release must be delivered by Executive to the Company no later than forty-five (45) days following the Termination Date and must not be revoked during the seven days following such delivery.  If such Release is not executed in a timely manner or is revoked, all such payments and benefits shall immediately cease and Executive shall be required to repay to the Company any such payments that have already been paid to Executive.
Section 3.06Resignation from Positions.  Upon the termination of Executive's employment for any reason, Executive shall immediately resign from each position held with the Company and its affiliates as of the Termination Date, including any position on the Board, if requested to do so by the Company.

Section 4.02Non-Competition.
(a)Executive acknowledges that, during the Term, Executive has had access to information concerning the Company’s critical business strategies, engineering and technology development plans, competitive analyses, organizational structure.  Accordingly, in consideration of the compensation provided under this Agreement, Executive agrees that during the Term and for the one (1) year period thereafter, Executive will not directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control (including indirectly through a debt or equity investment), provide services to, or be employed by, any person or entity engaged in any business that is (i) located in or provides services or products to a region in which the Company does business, and (ii) competitive with the business activities of the Company as they existed during the period that Executive provided services to the Company.

Section 5.02Modification of Payments.

Page 7 of 16


(a)In the event it shall be determined that any payment, right or distribution by the Company or any other person or entity to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, in connection with, or arising out of, his employment with the Company or a change in ownership or effective control of the Company or a substantial portion of its assets (a “Payment”) is a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) on account of the aggregate value of the Payments due to Executive being equal to or greater than three times the “base amount,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code, (the “Parachute Threshold”) so that Executive would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”) and the net after-tax benefit that Executive would receive by reducing the Payments to the Parachute Threshold is greater than the net after-tax benefit Executive would receive if the full amount of the Payments were paid to Executive, then the Payments payable to Executive shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the Payments due to Executive do not exceed the amount of the Parachute Threshold, reducing first any Payments under Section 3.03(b) hereof.

The Company hereby agrees that, for purposes of determining whether any payment and benefits set forth in Section 3.03 above would be subject to the Excise Tax, the non- compete set forth in in Section 4.02 above shall be treated as an agreement for the performance of personal services.  The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Executive from and against any adverse impact, tax, penalty, or excise tax resulting from the Company or accountant’s attribution of a value to the non-compete set forth in in Section 4.02 above that is less than the total compensation amount that would be disclosed under Item 402(c) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K if Executive had been a “named executive officer” of the Company in the year prior to year of the event that triggers the Excise Tax, to the extent the use of such lesser amount results in a larger Excise Tax than Executive would have been subject to had the Company or accountant attributed a value to the non-compete set forth in in Section 4.02 above that is at least equal to the total compensation amount disclosed under Item 402(c) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K for such year..

Section 5.03Section 409A.
(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is intended to be interpreted and applied so that the payment of the benefits set forth herein either shall either be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) or shall comply with the requirements of such provision.
(b)Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A, any payments or arrangements due upon a termination of Executive’s employment under any arrangement that constitutes a “nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and which do not otherwise qualify under the exemptions under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1 (including without limitation, the short-term deferral exemption or the permitted payments under Treas. Regs. Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)), shall be delayed and paid or provided, without interest, on the earlier of (i) the date which is six (6) months after Executive’s “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Section 409A and the regulations and other published guidance thereunder) for any reason other than death, and (ii) the date of Executive’s death.

Page 8 of 16


(c)After any Termination Date, Executive shall have no duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent with having a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A and, notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, distributions upon termination of employment of nonqualified deferred compensation may only be made upon a “separation from service” as determined under Section 409A and such date shall be the Termination Date for purposes of this Agreement.  Each payment under this Agreement or otherwise shall be treated as a separate payment for purposes of Section 409A.  In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of any payment to be made under this Agreement which constitutes a -nonqualified deferral of compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A and to the extent an amount is payable within a time period, the time during which such amount is paid shall be in the discretion of the Company.
Section 5.04Merger Clause.  Effective as of the date hereof, this Agreement contains the complete, full, and exclusive understanding of Executive and the Company as to its subject matter and shall, on such date, and supersede any prior employment agreement between Executive and the Company (and its affiliates), including the Prior Agreement.  Any amendments to this Agreement shall be effective and binding on Executive and the Company only if any such amendments are in writing and signed by both Parties.
Section 5.05Assignment.
(a)This Agreement is personal to Executive and, without the prior written consent of the Company, shall not be assigned by Executive otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any assignment in violation of this Agreement shall be void.
(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 5.05(a), this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.  If Executive should die while any amounts would still be payable to him or her hereunder if he or she had continued to live, all such amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to Executive’s devisee, legatee or other designee or, should there be no such designee, to Executive’s estate.
(c)The Company may assign this Agreement to any affiliate or subsidiary of the Company without the consent of Executive and shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company (a “Successor”) to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  As used in this Agreement, (i) the term “Company” shall mean the Company as hereinbefore defined and any Successor and any permitted assignee to which this Agreement is assigned and (ii) the term “Board” shall mean the Board as hereinbefore defined and the board of directors or equivalent governing body of any Successor and any permitted assignee to which this Agreement is assigned.
Section 5.06Dispute Resolution.  Except for any proceeding brought pursuant to Section 5.05 above, the parties agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the formation, breach, termination or validity thereof, will be settled by binding arbitration by

Page 9 of 16


a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The arbitration proceedings will be located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The arbitrators are not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages and each party irrevocably waives any damages in excess of compensatory damages.  Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered into any court having jurisdiction thereof and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of any court of competent jurisdiction located in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Section 5.07GOVERNING LAW.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, INTERPRETATION, CONSTRUCTION AND PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ALL RESPECT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
Section 5.08Amendment; No Waiver.  No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified, waived or discharged except by a written document signed by Executive and duly authorized officer of the Company.  The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered as a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or power hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of any other right or power.  No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any party, which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement.
GRAPHIC
Section 5.09Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any applicable law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon any such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 5.10Survival.  The rights and obligations of the parties under the provisions of this Agreement that relate to post-termination obligations shall survive and remain binding and enforceable, notwithstanding the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason or any settlement of the financial rights and obligations arising from Executive’s employment hereunder, to the extent necessary to preserve the intended benefits of such provisions.
Section 5.11Notices.  All notices and other communications required or permitted by this Agreement will be made in writing and all such notices and communications will be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed, if to the

1.I, John H. Johnson (“Executive”), for and in consideration of the commitments of Strongbridge U.S. Inc.  (the “Company”) as set forth in Article III of the Employment Agreement dated as of July 2, 2020 (the “Employment Agreement”), and intending to be legally bound, does hereby REMISE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company and its present and former divisions, subsidiaries, parents, predecessor and successor corporations, officers, directors, and their respective successors, predecessors, assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity, which Executive ever had, now has, or hereafter may have, whether known or unknown, or which Executive’s heirs, executors, or administrators may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, up to the date of Executive’s execution of this General Release, particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and Releasees, the terms and conditions of that relationship, and the termination of that relationship, including, but not limited to, any claims arising under any applicable Company employee benefit plan(s), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of The Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Pennsylvania employment laws, and any other federal, state and local employment laws, as amended, and any other claims under any federal, state or local common law, statutory, or regulatory provision, now or hereafter recognized, and any claims for attorneys’ fees and costs.  This General Release is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity, implied or express contract or discrimination of any sort.

2.To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 below, Executive represents and affirms that (i) Executive has not filed or caused to be filed on Executive’s behalf any claim for relief against the Company or any Releasee and, to the best of Executive’s knowledge and belief, no outstanding claims for relief have been filed or asserted against the Company or any Releasee on Executive’s behalf; and (ii) Executive has no knowledge of any improper, unethical or illegal conduct or activities that Executive has not already reported to any supervisor, manager, department head, human resources representative, agent or other representative of the Company, to any member of the Company’s legal or compliance departments, or to the ethics hotline; and (iii) Executive will not file, commence, prosecute or participate in any judicial or arbitral action or proceeding against the Company or any Releasee based upon or arising out of any act, omission, transaction, occurrence, contract, claim or event existing or occurring on or before the date of execution of this General Release.

3.The release of claims described in Paragraph I of this General Release does not preclude Executive from filing a charge with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.  However, Executive agrees and hereby waives any and all rights to any monetary relief or other personal recovery from any such charge, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

Page 13 of 16


4.Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 3 of this General Release, in further consideration of the commitments of the Company as described in the Employment Agreement, Executive agrees that Executive will not file, claim, sue or cause or permit to be filed, any civil action, suit or legal proceeding seeking equitable or monetary relief (including damages, injunctive, declaratory, monetary or other relief) for himself involving any matter released in Paragraph 1.  In the event that suit is filed in breach of this release of claims, it is expressly understood and agreed that this release of claims shall constitute a complete defense to any such suit.  In the event any Releasee is required to institute litigation to enforce the terms of this paragraph, Releasees shall be entitled to recover reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees incurred in such enforcement.  Executive further agrees and covenants that should any person, organization, or other entity file, claim, sue, or cause or permit to be filed any civil action, suit or legal proceeding involving any matter occurring at any time in the past, Executive will not seek or accept personal equitable or monetary relief in such civil action, suit or legal proceeding.  Nothing in this General Release shall prohibit or restrict Executive from: making any disclosure of information required by law; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or proceeding brought by any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company’s designated legal, compliance or human resources officers; or (iii) filing, testifying, participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state or municipal law relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory organization.

Amounts of Loans repaid may not be reborrowed.

22

DMS 17185250.10


(i)Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Majority Lenders” and Section 13.04.
(ii)Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Lenders for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 11, Section 4.04 or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as follows: first, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement; second, if so determined by the Majority Lenders and Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; third, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fourth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and fifth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 6 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.05(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(b)Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and the Majority Lenders agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Proportionate Share, whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(a)Substitution Right. If any Lender (an “Affected Lender”), (i) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (ii) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Majority Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders (a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then (x) Borrower may elect to pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to all Obligations due to such Affected Lender or (y) either

23

DMS 17185250.10


Borrower or Administrative Agent shall identify any willing Lender or Affiliate of any Lender or Eligible Transferee (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”) to substitute for such Affected Lender; provided that any substitution of a Non-Consenting Lender shall occur only with the consent of Administrative Agent.
(b)Procedure. To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full all Obligations owed to such Affected Lender, Borrower shall deliver a notice to such Affected Lender. The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery by Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Prepayment Premium) and (ii) in the case of a substitution, an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Substitute Lender, which shall thereunder, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents.
(c)Effectiveness. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 2.06(a) and (b), Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full of an Affected Lender, such Affected Lender’s Commitments shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution of an Affected Lender, (A) such Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights under the Loan Documents that expressly provide that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) such Affected Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” hereunder and such Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder and (C) such Affected Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption to evidence such substitution; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment and Assumption shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.

28

DMS 17185250.10


would constitute its share of such Borrowing available to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with Section 2, and Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by the required time on the applicable Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent forthwith, on demand, such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date on which such amount is made available to Borrower but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at a rate equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate reasonably determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(b)Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 4.05(c) may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of such Obligor in the amount of such participation.

Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 4.05(c) and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase. Borrower consents on behalf of itself and each other Obligor to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Obligor rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Obligor in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 5
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
5.01Additional Costs.
(a)Change in Requirements of Law Generally. If, on or after the Closing Date, the adoption of any Requirement of Law, or any change in any Requirement of Law, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any court or other Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or its lending office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, contribution, insurance assessment or similar requirement, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date, against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, a Lender (or its lending office) or shall impose on a Lender (or its lending office) any other condition affecting the Loans or the Commitment, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining the Loans, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (iii) Connection Income Taxes), then Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.
(b)Change in Capital Requirements. If a Lender shall have determined that, on or after the Closing Date, the adoption of any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of a Lender (or its parent) as a

30

DMS 17185250.10


consequence of a Lender’s obligations hereunder or the Loans to a level below that which a Lender (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive by an amount reasonably deemed by it to be material, then Borrower shall pay to such Lender on demand such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its parent) for such reduction.
(c)Notification by Lender. Each Lender (directly or through Administrative Agent) will promptly notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of the Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error.
(d)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Requirements of Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
5.02Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the Closing Date the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Loans (and, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be materially disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof following which (a) the Lender’s Commitment shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain the Loans hereunder and (b) if such Requirement of Law shall so mandate, the Loans shall be prepaid by Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Requirement of Law in an amount equal to the Redemption Price applicable on the date of such prepayment in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
5.03Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions

31

DMS 17185250.10


and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by the Obligors. The Obligors shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of each Lender, timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)Evidence of Payments.

(d)Indemnification. The Obligors shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Status of Lenders.
(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall make available to an Obligor (directly or through Administrative Agent) such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by such Obligor or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender shall make available (directly or through Administrative Agent) such other documentation prescribed by applicable law as reasonably requested by such Obligor or Administrative Agent as will enable such Obligor or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(e)(ii)(A), (B) or (D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

33

DMS 17185250.10


(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall make available to such Obligor (directly or through Administrative Agent) at the time or times prescribed by law as reasonably requested by such Obligor or Administrative Agent any necessary forms and information reasonably requested by such Obligor or Administrative Agent to establish that such Lender is not subject to withholding tax under FATCA or as may be necessary for such Obligor and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.

Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 5.03(f) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

34

8.14Intellectual Property. In the event that the Obligors acquire Obligor Intellectual Property during the term of this Agreement, then the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto and any such Obligor Intellectual Property shall automatically constitute part of the Collateral under the Security Documents (provided that Administrative Agent reserves the right, with the consent of the applicable Obligor which shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided further that it will not be deemed unreasonable for the applicable Obligor to withhold consent for the reasons specified in clause (i), (iv) and (v) of the ultimate (unnumbered) paragraph of Section 8.12) to perfect its security interest in the Intellectual Property registered in Sweden and that, in the event Administrative Agent determines to so perfect its security interest, the relevant Obligor shall take any action reasonably required by Administrative Agent to effect such perfection), without further action by any party, in each case from and after the date of such acquisition (except that any representations or warranties of any Obligor shall apply to any such Obligor Intellectual Property only from and

(c)Prepayment Premium, Final Payment and Redemption Price. (i) For the avoidance of doubt, the Prepayment Premium and the Final Payment (as a component of the Redemption Price) shall be due and payable at any time the Loans become due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date for any reason, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 11.02(a), or automatically, in accordance with Section 11.02(b)), by operation of law or otherwise (including where bankruptcy filings or the exercise of any bankruptcy right or power, whether in any plan of reorganization or otherwise, results or would result in a payment, discharge, modification or other treatment of the Loans or Loan Documents that would otherwise evade, avoid, or otherwise disappoint the expectations of Lenders in receiving the full benefit of their bargained-for Prepayment Premium or Redemption Price as provided herein). The Obligors and Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Prepayment Premium, the Final Payment and the fees due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 502(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, but instead is reasonably calculated to ensure that the Lenders receive the benefit of their bargain under the terms of this Agreement. In the event that any portion of the Loans becomes due and payable prior to the Stated Maturity Date, whether as a result of acceleration or any other required prepayment event, the “Redemption Date” for purposes of calculating the Prepayment Premium will be the date of such acceleration or the date of occurrence of the event that triggered such obligation to prepay.
(ii)Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that the Lenders shall be entitled to recover the full amount of the Redemption Price in each and every circumstance such amount is due pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including in the case of any Obligor’s bankruptcy filing, so that the Lenders shall receive the benefit of their bargain hereunder and otherwise receive full recovery as agreed under every possible circumstance, and Borrower hereby waives any defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amounts does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation. Any damages that the Lenders may suffer or incur resulting from or arising in connection with any breach hereof or thereof by any Obligor shall constitute secured obligations owing to the Lenders.
SECTION 12

(b)Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a), Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party) against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or any Related Person thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of Administrative Agent or its counsel, contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Requirement of Law.

(b)None of Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and each Obligor hereby waives and shall not assert any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, Administrative Agent:

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and each Obligor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any right, claim or cause of action it might have against Administrative Agent based thereon.

Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire Equity Interests of, engage in any kind of business with, any Obligor or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Majority Lender”, and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Majority Lenders, respectively.

No failure on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with or relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party to an actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based in contract, tort or any other theory, and whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Borrower, any of its shareholders or creditors, and whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 are satisfied or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, except to the extent such Claim or Loss is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(a)the consent of all of the Lenders shall be required to:
(i)amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Loans, reduce the fees payable hereunder, reduce interest rates or other amounts payable with respect to the Loans, extend any date fixed for payment of principal, interest or other amounts payable relating to the Loans or extend the repayment dates of the Loans;
(ii)amend the provisions of Section 6;

DMS 17185250.10


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) [reserved]; and (b) a Defaulting Lender shall not have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

13.05Successors and Assigns.
(a)General. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the prior written consent of the Lenders. Any of the Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents to an assignee (i) in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.05(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.05(e) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 13.05(g). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 13.05(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Indemnified Parties) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any of the Lenders may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Transferees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person (other than a natural Person)) all or a portion of their rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that no such assignment shall be made to any Obligor, an Affiliate of any Obligor, or any employees or directors of any Obligor at any time. Subject to the recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.05(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and correspondingly the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and the other Loan Documents but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 and Section 13.03. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 13.05(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 13.05(e).
(c)Amendments to Loan Documents. Each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors agrees to enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such

78

DMS 17185250.10


additional Security Documents and other instruments and agreements, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors, as shall reasonably be necessary to implement and give effect to any assignment made under this Section 13.05.
(d)Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of each Obligor, shall maintain at one of its offices a register for the recordation of the name and address of any assignee of the Lenders and the Commitment and outstanding principal amount of the Loans owing thereto (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and each Obligor shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Obligor, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)Participations. Any of the Lenders may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Obligor, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Obligor or any of an Obligor’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Lenders in connection therewith.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest. Subject to Section 13.05(f), Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 13.05(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.04(a) as though it were the Lender.

(f)Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03 than a Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of each Obligor, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that

79

DMS 17185250.10


such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letters of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-l(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g)Certain Pledges. The Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of the Lenders, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lenders from any of their obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lenders as a party hereto.
13.06Survival. The obligations of the Obligors under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 13.03, 13.05, 13.09, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12, 13.13, 13.14, 13.20 and Section 14 (solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment and, in the case of the Lenders’ assignment of any interest in the Commitment or the Loans hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that the Lenders may cease to be “Lenders” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Notice of Borrowing, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.
13.07Captions. The table of contents and captions and section headings appearing herein are included solely for convenience of reference and are not intended to affect the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement.
13.08Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
13.09Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction; provided that Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law shall apply.
13.10Jurisdiction, Service of Process and Venue.

(c)Waiver of Venue, Etc. Each Obligor irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which such Obligor is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
13.11Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OBLIGOR, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

13.13Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. EACH OBLIGOR ACKNOWLEDGES, REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IN DECIDING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR IN TAKING OR NOT TAKING ANY ACTION HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER, IT HAS NOT RELIED, AND WILL NOT RELY, ON ANY STATEMENT, REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, AGREEMENT OR UNDERSTANDING, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, OF OR WITH ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR THE LENDERS OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

13.15No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Obligor acknowledges that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no fiduciary relationship with, or fiduciary duty to, any Obligor arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Lenders and the Borrower is solely that of creditor and debtor. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents do not create a joint venture among the parties.
13.16Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Persons (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and shall undertake in writing or shall otherwise be obligated to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Persons (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party hereto; (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) subject to a binding agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 13.16, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Persons) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to an Obligor and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Obligor or its Subsidiaries or the Loans or (ii) the CUSIP Global Services or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loans; (h) with the consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 13.16, or (y) becomes available to Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower if such source was not, to the knowledge of Administrative Agent or such Lender or their respective Affiliates, as applicable, prohibited from disclosing such Information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. In addition, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the material terms thereof to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitments.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information furnished by Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that the source was not, to the knowledge of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, prohibited from disclosing such Information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary

82

DMS 17185250.10


obligation. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 13.16 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

13.17USA PATRIOT ACT. Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby notify the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”) or any Anti-Money Laundering Laws, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Obligor, which information includes the name and address of such Obligor and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Obligor in accordance with the Act or other Anti-Money Laundering Laws.
13.18Maximum Rate of Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (in each case, the “Maximum Rate”). If the Lenders shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans, and not to the payment of interest, or, if the excessive interest exceeds such unpaid principal, the amount exceeding the unpaid balance shall be refunded to the applicable Obligor. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lenders exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Indebtedness and other obligations of any Obligor hereunder, or (d) allocate interest between portions of such Indebtedness and other obligations under the Loan Documents to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by applicable Law.
13.19Certain Waivers.
(a)[Reserved].
(b)Waiver of Marshaling. Without limiting the foregoing in any way, each obligor hereby irrevocably waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any and all rights it may have at any time (whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law, contract or otherwise) to require the marshaling of any assets of any obligor, which right of marshaling might otherwise arise from any payments made or obligations performed.
13.20Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree (a) that any contingency associated with the Loans is described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-l(c) and/or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-2(h), and therefore no Loan is governed by the rules set out in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4, (b) except for a Lender described in Sections 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3) of the Code, absent a Change in a Requirement of Law, all interest on the Loans is “portfolio interest” within the meaning of Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, and therefore is exempt from withholding tax under Sections 1441(c)(9) or 1442(a) of the Code, and (c) to adhere to this Section 13.20 for federal income and any other applicable tax purposes and not to take any action or file any Tax Return, report or declaration inconsistent herewith.

The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 14.01 are absolute, subject to Section 1.06, and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of any Obligor under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute

84

a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor is irrevocable, continuing, absolute and unconditional. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not discharge, alter, impair or otherwise affect the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of:

(e)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any Loan Document or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Obligor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Obligor under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

14.03Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 14 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Lenders in connection with such

85

The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Secured Parties, the obligations of the Obligors under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 14.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any Obligor and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by an Obligor) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 14.01.
14.06Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 14 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Secured Parties, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N. Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
14.07Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 14 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
14.08Rights of Contribution. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Subsidiary Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s Pro rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations. The payment obligation of a Subsidiary Guarantor to any Excess Funding Guarantor under this Section 14.08 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of this Section 14 and such Excess Funding Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in full of all of such obligations.

(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Obligor agrees it shall not make, and shall not be entitled to receive, any payment or distribution of any kind or character with respect to the Subordinated Intercompany Indebtedness except as expressly permitted under this Section 15.01.
(d)If any payment or distribution of any character by any Obligor, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than Restructured Debt Securities), in respect of any Subordinated Intercompany Indebtedness shall (despite these subordination provisions) be received by any such Obligor in violation of clause (a) or (b) before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, on behalf of the holders of Obligations, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in cash.

12.Representations and Warranties. Subordinated Creditor represents and warrants to the Senior Creditors that:

(d)Subordinated Creditor has not previously assigned any interest in the Subordinated Debt, and no Person other than the Subordinated Creditor owns an interest in the Subordinated Debt.

14.Successors and Assigns. This Agreement binds Subordinated Creditor, its successors or assigns, and benefits the Senior Creditors’ successors or assigns. This Agreement is for Subordinated Creditor’s and the Senior Creditors’ benefit and not for the benefit of Credit Party or any other party. Subordinated Creditor shall not sell, assign, pledge, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Debt or any related document or any interest in any Collateral therefor unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Senior Agent an agreement of such transferee to be bound hereby, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement providing for the continued subjection of the Subordinated Debt, the interests of the transferee in the Collateral and the remedies of the transferee with respect thereto as provided herein with respect to Subordinated Creditor and for the continued effectiveness of all of the other rights of the Senior Creditors arising under this Agreement, in each case in form satisfactory to the Senior Creditors.

Dated as of [ ], [ ] (the “Issue Date”)
Void after the date specified in Section 8

Warrant to Purchase

[__] Ordinary Shares

(subject to adjustment)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, [  ], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from STRONGBRIDGE BIOPHARMA PLC, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”) that number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, of nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at such times and at the price per Share, set forth in Section 1. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions described in the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2020, by and between the Company, the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors (each as defined therein) from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Warrant is subject, and to which Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees:

I-1


1.Number and Price of Shares: Exercise Period.
(a)Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to purchase up to [  ] Shares, as may be adjusted pursuant hereto prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as provided in Section 8.
(b)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share shall be equal to [  ], subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”), provided however, the exercise price shall never be less than the nominal value of an Ordinary Share.
(c)Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8.
2.Exercise of the Warrant.
(a)Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1, by:
(i)the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”) duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and
(ii)the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (v) the number of Shares being purchased, by wire transfer or certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company.
(b)Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares, paid-up to their nominal value, equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election and the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the nominal value of a Share multiplied by (v) the number of Shares being purchased (the “Nominal Value Payment Amount”), by wire transfer or certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:

X    =      Y(A-B)   

A

Where:

X    =

The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder

Y    =

The number of Shares to be purchased (as specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise)

I-2


A    =

The fair market value of one Ordinary Share (at the date of such calculation)

B    =

The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) less the nominal value of one Ordinary Share

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined as follows:

(i)if the Ordinary Shares are traded on any securities exchange or quoted on an established automated over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a ten (10) Trading Day period ending five (5) Trading Days before the date of calculation; or
(ii)if at any time the Ordinary Shares are not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on an established automated over-the-counter market, the fair market value of Ordinary Shares shall be the price per Ordinary Share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for Ordinary Shares sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless the Company shall become subject to a Reorganization, in which case the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Reorganization.

For purposes hereof, the date of calculation shall be the date the Holder sends to the Company a Notice of Exercise. “Trading Day” means a day in which trading in the Ordinary Shares generally occurs on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, or if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded. If the Ordinary Shares are not so listed or traded. “Trading Day” means any Business Day. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed.

(c)Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all Shares subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 2(b) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration and the Holder shall be deemed to have provided, in connection with such exercise, an undertaking to pay the Nominal Value Payment Amount to the Company in cash on demand. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one Share upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 2(b). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares, if any, the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

I-3


(d)Share Certificates. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part and has not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.
(e)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
(f)Conditional Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.
(g)Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees during the term this Warrant is exercisable to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares such number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares of the Company to a number of Ordinary Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company represents and warrants that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(h)Issued Securities. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or any other securities of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. All outstanding Ordinary Shares and any other securities were issued in full compliance with all federal and state securities laws. In addition, as of the date immediately preceding the date of this Warrant:
(i)A description of the Company’s capitalization attached hereto as Schedule A is true and complete, in all material respects, as of the Issue Date.
(ii)Except for this Warrant and as otherwise disclosed on Schedule A, there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s share capital or other securities of the Company.

I-4


3.Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at the expense of the Holder shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
4.Transfer of the Warrant.
(a)Warrant Resister. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting a change.
(b)Warrant Agent. The Company may appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4(a), issuing the Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or conducting related activities.
(c)Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as set forth in Section 5, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the transferor and the transferee executing the assignment form attached as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”)) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.
(d)Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) must be surrendered to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.
(e)Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

I-5


5.Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:
(a)Restrictions on Transfers. Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and either:
(i)there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or
(ii)(A) such Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonable detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition, (B) the transferee shall have made the representations set forth in Section 10 with respect to itself as a Holder and (C) if requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company, at the Holder’s expense, with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act or (ii) a legal opinion to the effect that the transfer of such Securities may be effected in compliance with the terms of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance with clauses (B) and (C) above shall not be required for any transfer in compliance with Rule 144 and compliance with clause (C) above shall not be required for any transfer by the Holder to any affiliate of the Holder (or any fund or partnership under common control with one of more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Holder) or a transfer by the Holder to any of the Holder’s partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners, members or other equity owners or the estate of any partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners, members or other equity owners.
(b)Investment Representation Statement. Unless this Warrant is exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which the Warrant was exercised or pursuant to Section 2(b) that results in the Shares issued upon exercise being eligible for resale under Rule 144, it shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Holder shall have confirmed the representations set forth in Section 10 hereof.
(c)Securities Law Legend. Subject to Section 5(e), the Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Warrant) be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR

I-6


HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.

(d)Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. Subject to Section 5(e), the Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.
(e)Removal of Legend. The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 5(c) stamped on a certificate evidencing the Shares and the transfer instructions and record notations with respect to the Securities shall be removed promptly upon request by the Holder and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Securities if (i) such Securities are registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration or qualification.
(f)Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder is aware of the restrictions imposed by the United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received material, non-public information from the issuer of such securities and on the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.
6.Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
(a)Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which Ordinary Shares of the Company are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization (collectively, “Reference Property”), equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the

I-7


provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Reorganization, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
(b)Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification ’), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of Shares of such other class or classes of shares that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
(c)Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding Ordinary Shares are subdivided (by shares split, by payment of a shares dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of Ordinary Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding Ordinary Shares are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
(d)Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.
7.Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize:
(a)the issuance of any dividend or other distribution on the share capital of the Company (other than (i) dividends or distributions otherwise provided for in Section 6, (ii) repurchases of Ordinary Shares issued to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, (iii) repurchases of Ordinary Shares issued to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries

I-8


pursuant to rights of first refusal or first offer contained in agreements providing for such rights, or (iv) repurchases of Ordinary Shares in connection with the settlement of disputes with any shareholder), whether in cash, property, shares or other securities;
(b)the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; or
(c)any transaction resulting in the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8(b);

the Company shall send to the Holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) calendar days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for any such dividend or distribution specified in clause (a) or the expected effective date of any such other event specified in clause (b) or (c), as applicable. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder of this Warrant.

8.Expiration of the Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of the earlier of:
(a)5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on [__], [__];4 or
(b)(i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party (including, without limitation, any share acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of shares for capital raising purposes and any transaction effected primarily for purposes of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation) other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions receive voting securities of such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent), or (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, except where such sale, lease or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; provided that the holders of Shares in the transaction described in (i) or (ii) above receive cash or cash equivalents in such transaction with an aggregate value per Ordinary Share greater than two times the Exercise Price.
9.No Rights as a Shareholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares, change of nominal value or change of shares to no nominal value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive

4 Five years from Issue Date.

I-9


dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a shareholder of the Company until this Warrant shall have been exercised.

10.Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
(b)Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.
(c)Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests.
(d)Speculative Nature of Investment. The Holder understands and acknowledges that its investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of its investment and is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
(e)Accredited Investor. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and agrees to submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The Holder has furnished or made available any and all information requested by the Company or otherwise necessary to satisfy any applicable verification requirements as to “accredited investor” status. Any such information is true, correct, timely and complete.
(f)Residency. The residency of the Holder (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
(g)Restrictions on Resales. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the number of shares being

I-10


sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction,” a transaction directly with a “market maker” or a “riskless principal transaction” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. The Holder acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities. The Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(h)Authorization. The Holder has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Warrant constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
11.Miscellaneous.
(a)Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Warrant and signed by the Company and the Holder of this Warrant.
(b)Waivers. No waiver of any single breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
(c)Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail (if to the Holder) or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
(i)if to the Holder, to the Holder at the Holder’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as show on the signature page hereto, or at such other current address as the Holder shall have furnished to the Company; or
(ii)if to the Company, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the Company’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown on the signature page hereto, or at such other current address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holder.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Warrant be treated as effective or having been given (it if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when

I-11


delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one business day after deposit with the courier), or (ii) if sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent via facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or, if sent via electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery when directed to the relevant electronic mail address, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not sent during normal business hours of the recipient, then on the recipient’s next business day. In the event of any conflict between the Company’s books and records and this Warrant or any notice delivered hereunder, the Company’s books and records will control absent fraud or error.

(d)Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of New York, or of any other state.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE ORDINARY SHARES
OF
STRONGBRIDGE BIOPHARMA PLC

Dated as of May 19, 2020 (the “Issue Date”)
Void after the date specified in Section 8

Warrant to Purchase

267,390 Ordinary Shares

(subject to adjustment)

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, AVENUE VENTURE OPPORTUNITIES FUND, L.P., or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase from STRONGBRIDGE BIOPHARMA PLC, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the “Company”) that number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s ordinary shares, of nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), at such times and at the price per Share, set forth in Section 1. The term “Warrant” as used herein shall include this Warrant and any warrants delivered in substitution or exchange therefor as provided herein. This Warrant is issued in connection with the transactions described in the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2020, by and between the Company, the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors (each as defined therein) from time to time party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P.

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder and the conditions to which this Warrant is subject, and to which Holder, by acceptance of this Warrant, agrees:

I-1


1.Number and Price of Shares: Exercise Period.
(a)Number of Shares. Subject to any previous exercise of the Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to purchase up to 267,390 Shares, as may be adjusted pursuant hereto prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as provided in Section 8.
(b)Exercise Price. The exercise price per Share shall be equal to the lower of (i) $1.87 or (ii) the effective price of any bona fide equity financing prior to December 31, 2020, subject to adjustment pursuant hereto (the “Exercise Price”), provided however, the exercise price shall never be less than the nominal value of an Ordinary Share.
(c)Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, prior to (or in connection with) the expiration of this Warrant as set forth in Section 8.
2.Exercise of the Warrant.
(a)Exercise. The purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised at the election of the Holder, in whole or in part, in accordance with Section 1, by:
(i)the tender to the Company at its principal office (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) of a notice of exercise in the form of Exhibit A (the “Notice of Exercise”) duly completed and executed by or on behalf of the Holder, together with the surrender of this Warrant; and
(ii)the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the Exercise Price multiplied by (v) the number of Shares being purchased, by wire transfer or certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company.
(b)Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Shares, paid-up to their nominal value, equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election and the payment to the Company of an amount equal to (x) the nominal value of a Share multiplied by (v) the number of Shares being purchased (the “Nominal Value Payment Amount”), by wire transfer or certified, cashier's or other check acceptable to the Company and payable to the order of the Company, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:

X    =      Y(A-B)   

A

Where:

X    =

The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder

I-2


Y    =

The number of Shares to be purchased (as specified in paragraph 1 of the applicable Notice of Exercise)

A    =

The fair market value of one Ordinary Share (at the date of such calculation)

B    =

The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) less the nominal value of one Ordinary Share

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be determined as follows:

(i)if the Ordinary Shares are traded on any securities exchange or quoted on an established automated over-the-counter market, the fair market value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices over a ten (10) Trading Day period ending five (5) Trading Days before the date of calculation; or
(ii)if at any time the Ordinary Shares are not listed on any securities exchange or quoted on an established automated over-the-counter market, the fair market value of Ordinary Shares shall be the price per Ordinary Share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for Ordinary Shares sold by the Company, from authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless the Company shall become subject to a Reorganization, in which case the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Company’s Ordinary Shares pursuant to such Reorganization.

For purposes hereof, the date of calculation shall be the date the Holder sends to the Company a Notice of Exercise. “Trading Day” means a day in which trading in the Ordinary Shares generally occurs on The Nasdaq Global Select Market or if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, on the principal other U.S. national or regional securities exchange on which the Ordinary Shares are then listed, or if the Ordinary Shares are not then listed on a U.S. national or regional securities exchange, on the principal other market on which the Ordinary Shares are then traded. If the Ordinary Shares are not so listed or traded. “Trading Day” means any Business Day. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is authorized or required by law or executive order to close or be closed.

(c)Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all Shares subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one Share is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 2(b) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration and the Holder shall be deemed to have provided, in connection with such exercise, an undertaking to pay the Nominal Value Payment Amount to the Company in cash on demand. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one Share upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 2(b). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Holder of the number of Shares, if any, the Holder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

I-3


(d)Share Certificates. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be deemed to have been issued immediately prior to the close of business on the date this Warrant is exercised in accordance with its terms, and the person entitled to receive the Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be treated for all purposes as the holder of record of such Shares as of the close of business on such date. As promptly as reasonably practicable on or after such date, the Company shall issue and deliver to the person or persons entitled to receive the same a certificate or certificates for that number of Shares issuable upon such exercise. In the event that this Warrant is exercised in part and has not expired, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant reflecting the number of Shares that remain subject to this Warrant.
(e)No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of such fractional share to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall make a cash payment equal to the Exercise Price multiplied by such fraction.
(f)Conditional Exercise. The Holder may exercise this Warrant conditioned upon (and effective immediately prior to) consummation of any transaction that would cause the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8 by so indicating in the notice of exercise.
(g)Reservation of Shares. The Company agrees during the term this Warrant is exercisable to reserve and keep available from its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares such number of Ordinary Shares as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exercise of this Warrant, and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient for purposes of the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with its terms, without limitation of such other remedies as may be available to the Holder, the Company will use all reasonable efforts to take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorized and unissued Ordinary Shares of the Company to a number of Ordinary Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. The Company represents and warrants that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant will, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
(h)Issued Securities. The Company represents and warrants to the Holder that all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or any other securities of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. All outstanding Ordinary Shares and any other securities were issued in full compliance with all federal and state securities laws. In addition, as of the date immediately preceding the date of this Warrant:
(i)A description of the Company’s capitalization attached hereto as Schedule A is true and complete, in all material respects, as of the Issue Date.
(ii)Except for this Warrant and as otherwise disclosed on Schedule A, there are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s share capital or other securities of the Company.

I-4


3.Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to the receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, on delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at the expense of the Holder shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor and amount.
4.Transfer of the Warrant.
(a)Warrant Resister. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Warrant Register”) containing the name and address of the Holder or Holders. Until this Warrant is transferred on the Warrant Register in accordance herewith, the Company may treat the Holder as shown on the Warrant Register as the absolute owner of this Warrant for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. Any Holder of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant) may change its address as shown on the Warrant Register by written notice to the Company requesting a change.
(b)Warrant Agent. The Company may appoint an agent for the purpose of maintaining the Warrant Register referred to in Section 4(a), issuing the Shares or other securities then issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant, exchanging this Warrant, replacing this Warrant or conducting related activities.
(c)Transferability of the Warrant. Subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as set forth in Section 5, title to this Warrant may be transferred by endorsement (by the transferor and the transferee executing the assignment form attached as Exhibit B (the “Assignment Form”)) and delivery in the same manner as a negotiable instrument transferable by endorsement and delivery.
(d)Exchange of the Warrant upon a Transfer. On surrender of this Warrant (and a properly endorsed Assignment Form) for exchange, subject to the provisions of this Warrant with respect to compliance with the Securities Act and limitations on assignments and transfers, the Company shall issue to or on the order of the Holder a new warrant or warrants of like tenor, in the name of the Holder or as the Holder (on payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct, for the number of shares issuable upon exercise hereof, and the Company shall register any such transfer upon the Warrant Register. This Warrant (and the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) must be surrendered to the Company or its warrant or transfer agent, as applicable, as a condition precedent to the sale, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of any interest in any of the securities represented hereby.
(e)Taxes. In no event shall the Company be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

I-5


5.Compliance with Securities Laws. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to comply with the following:
(a)Restrictions on Transfers. Any transfer of this Warrant or the Shares (the “Securities”) must be in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The Holder agrees not to make any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of all or any portion of the Securities, or any beneficial interest therein, unless and until the transferee thereof has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to take and hold such Securities subject to, and to be bound by, the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant to the same extent as if the transferee were the original Holder hereunder, and either:
(i)there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement, or
(ii)(A) such Holder shall have given prior written notice to the Company of such Holder’s intention to make such disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a reasonable detailed description of the manner and circumstances of the proposed disposition, (B) the transferee shall have made the representations set forth in Section 10 with respect to itself as a Holder and (C) if requested by the Company, such Holder shall have furnished the Company, at the Holder’s expense, with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such Securities under the Securities Act or (ii) a legal opinion to the effect that the transfer of such Securities may be effected in compliance with the terms of the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance with clauses (B) and (C) above shall not be required for any transfer in compliance with Rule 144 and compliance with clause (C) above shall not be required for any transfer by the Holder to any affiliate of the Holder (or any fund or partnership under common control with one of more general partners or managing members of, or shares the same management company with, the Holder) or a transfer by the Holder to any of the Holder’s partners, members or other equity owners, or retired partners, members or other equity owners or the estate of any partners, members or other equity owners or retired partners, members or other equity owners.
(b)Investment Representation Statement. Unless this Warrant is exercised pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act that includes the Shares with respect to which the Warrant was exercised or pursuant to Section 2(b) that results in the Shares issued upon exercise being eligible for resale under Rule 144, it shall be a condition to any exercise of this Warrant that the Holder shall have confirmed the representations set forth in Section 10 hereof.
(c)Securities Law Legend. Subject to Section 5(e), the Securities shall (unless otherwise permitted by the provisions of this Warrant) be stamped or imprinted with a legend substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required by state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE

I-6


TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES MAY REQUIRE AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH OFFER, SALE OR TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OTHERWISE COMPLIES WITH THE ACT AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS CERTIFICATE MUST BE SURRENDERED TO THE COMPANY OR ITS TRANSFER AGENT AS A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO THE SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR HYPOTHECATION OF ANY INTEREST IN ANY OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY.

(d)Instructions Regarding Transfer Restrictions. Subject to Section 5(e), the Holder consents to the Company making a notation on its records and giving instructions to any transfer agent in order to implement the restrictions on transfer established in this Section 5.
(e)Removal of Legend. The legend referring to federal and state securities laws identified in Section 5(c) stamped on a certificate evidencing the Shares and the transfer instructions and record notations with respect to the Securities shall be removed promptly upon request by the Holder and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of such Securities if (i) such Securities are registered under the Securities Act, (ii) such securities are eligible for resale under Rule 144, or (iii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that a sale or transfer of such securities may be made without registration or qualification.
(f)Compliance with Securities Laws. The Holder is aware of the restrictions imposed by the United States securities laws on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received material, non-public information from the issuer of such securities and on the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.
6.Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Exercise Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
(a)Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for herein or as would cause the expiration of this Warrant under Section 8) in which Ordinary Shares of the Company are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization (collectively, “Reference Property”), equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled to receive in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by

I-7


the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Reorganization, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6(a) shall similarly apply to successive Reorganizations.
(b)Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification ’), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of Shares of such other class or classes of shares that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
(c)Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding Ordinary Shares are subdivided (by shares split, by payment of a shares dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of Ordinary Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding Ordinary Shares are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of Ordinary Shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.
(d)Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 6, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Exercise Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Exercise Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.
7.Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, in the event that the Company shall authorize:
(a)the issuance of any dividend or other distribution on the share capital of the Company (other than (i) dividends or distributions otherwise provided for in Section 6, (ii) repurchases of Ordinary Shares issued to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries upon termination of their employment or services pursuant to agreements providing for the right of said repurchase, (iii) repurchases of Ordinary Shares issued

I-8


to or held by employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to rights of first refusal or first offer contained in agreements providing for such rights, or (iv) repurchases of Ordinary Shares in connection with the settlement of disputes with any shareholder), whether in cash, property, shares or other securities;
(b)the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; or
(c)any transaction resulting in the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 8(b);

the Company shall send to the Holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) calendar days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for any such dividend or distribution specified in clause (a) or the expected effective date of any such other event specified in clause (b) or (c), as applicable. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder of this Warrant.

8.Expiration of the Warrant. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable as of the earlier of:
(a)5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on May 19, 2025; or
(b)(i) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is a party (including, without limitation, any share acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any sale of shares for capital raising purposes and any transaction effected primarily for purposes of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation) other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions receive voting securities of such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent), or (ii) a sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole by means of any transaction or series of related transactions, except where such sale, lease or other disposition is to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; provided that the holders of Shares in the transaction described in (i) or (ii) above receive cash or cash equivalents in such transaction with an aggregate value per Ordinary Share greater than two times the Exercise Price.
9.No Rights as a Shareholder. Nothing contained herein shall entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company or to be deemed the holder of any securities that may at any time be issuable on the exercise of the rights hereunder for any purpose nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to shareholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of shares, reclassification of shares, change of nominal value or change of shares to no nominal value, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or any other rights of a shareholder of the Company until this Warrant shall have been exercised.

10.Representations and Warranties of the Holder. By acceptance of this Warrant, the Holder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
(a)No Registration. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
(b)Investment Intent. The Holder is acquiring the Securities for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities, nor does it have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for the same.
(c)Investment Experience. The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in companies similar to the Company, and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests.
(d)Speculative Nature of Investment. The Holder understands and acknowledges that its investment in the Company is highly speculative and involves substantial risks. The Holder can bear the economic risk of its investment and is able, without impairing its financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment.
(e)Accredited Investor. The Holder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and agrees to submit to the Company such further assurances of such status as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The Holder has furnished or made available any and all information requested by the Company or otherwise necessary to satisfy any applicable verification requirements as to “accredited investor” status. Any such information is true, correct, timely and complete.
(f)Residency. The residency of the Holder (or, in the case of a partnership or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth on the signature page hereto.
(g)Restrictions on Resales. The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permit resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, which may include, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than a specified period after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations, the sale being effected through a “broker’s transaction,” a transaction directly with a “market maker” or a “riskless

I-10


principal transaction” (as those terms are defined in the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), and the filing of a Form 144 notice, if applicable. The Holder acknowledges and understands that the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirement of Rule 144 at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities and that, in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 even if the other applicable requirements of Rule 144 have been satisfied. The Holder acknowledges that, in the event the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not met, registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration will be required for any disposition of the Securities. The Holder understands that, although Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Securities and Exchange Commission has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell restricted securities received in a private offering other than in a registered offering or pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales and that such persons and the brokers who participate in the transactions do so at their own risk.
(h)Authorization. The Holder has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Warrant and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Warrant constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.
11.Miscellaneous.
(a)Amendments. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Warrant nor any term hereof may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument referencing this Warrant and signed by the Company and the Holder of this Warrant.
(b)Waivers. No waiver of any single breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring.
(c)Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, sent by facsimile or electronic mail (if to the Holder) or otherwise delivered by hand, messenger or courier service addressed:
(i)if to the Holder, to the Holder at the Holder’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as show on the signature page hereto, or at such other current address as the Holder shall have furnished to the Company; or
(ii)if to the Company, to the attention of the Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer of the Company at the Company’s address, facsimile number or electronic mail address as shown on the signature page hereto, or at such other current address as the Company shall have furnished to the Holder.

Each such notice or other communication shall for all purposes of this Warrant be treated as effective or having been given (it if delivered by hand, messenger or courier service, when delivered (or if sent via a nationally-recognized overnight courier service, freight prepaid, specifying next-business-day delivery, one business day after deposit with the courier), or (ii) if

I-11


sent via mail, at the earlier of its receipt or five days after the same has been deposited in a regularly-maintained receptacle for the deposit of the United States mail, addressed and mailed as aforesaid, or (iii) if sent via facsimile, upon confirmation of facsimile transfer or, if sent via electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery when directed to the relevant electronic mail address, if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, or if not sent during normal business hours of the recipient, then on the recipient’s next business day. In the event of any conflict between the Company’s books and records and this Warrant or any notice delivered hereunder, the Company’s books and records will control absent fraud or error.

(d)Governing Law. This Warrant and all actions arising out of or in connection with this Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the State of New York, or of any other state.
(e)Jurisdiction and Venue. The Company agrees that any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof may be brought initially in the federal or state courts in New York, New York, or in the courts of its own corporate domicile and irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of each such court for the purpose of any such suit, action, proceeding or judgment. This Section 11(e) is for the benefit of the Holder only and, as a result, Holder shall not be prevented from taking proceedings in any other courts with jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of the Holder to serve any such process or summonses in any other manner permitted by applicable law. The Company irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant and hereby further irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by law any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. A final judgment (in respect of which time for all appeals has elapsed) in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any court to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon judgment.
(f)Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant. All references in this Warrant to sections, paragraphs and exhibits shall, unless otherwise provided, refer to sections and paragraphs hereof and exhibits attached hereto.
(g)Severability. If any provision of this Warrant becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, portions of such provision, or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Warrant, and such illegal, unenforceable or void provision shall be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, unenforceable or void provision. The balance of this Warrant shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
(h)Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE HOLDER AND THE COMPANY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON

I-12


CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS WARRANT.
(i)California Corporate Securities Law. THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS WARRANT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND THE ISSUANCE OF SUCH SECURITIES OR THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO SUCH QUALIFICATION IS UNLAWFUL. UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102, OR 25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE, THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS WARRANT ARE EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON THE QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.
(j)Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. federal holiday, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or U.S. federal holiday.
(k)Rights and Obligations Survive Exercise of the Warrant. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and obligations of the Company and the Holder under this Warrant shall survive exercise of this Warrant.
(l)Entire Agreement.
