Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
1. Description of the business
Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or the Company or Paratek, is a Delaware corporation with its corporate office in Boston, Massachusetts and an office in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
The Company is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel life-saving therapies for life-threatening diseases or other public health threats for civilian, government and military use. The Company’s United States, or U.S., Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved commercial product, NUZYRA® (omadacycline), is a once-daily oral and intravenous antibiotic for the treatment of adult patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, or CABP, and acute skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, caused by susceptible pathogens. SEYSARA® (sarecycline) is an FDA-approved product with respect to which the Company has exclusively licensed in the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China, or the PRC, Hong Kong and Macau, or the greater China region, certain rights to Almirall, LLC, or Almirall. SEYSARA is currently being marketed by Almirall in the U.S. as a once-daily oral therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris. With respect to the Company’s technology as it relates to sarecycline, the Company retains development and commercialization rights in all countries other than the U.S. and the greater China region, and in February 2020, the Company exclusively licensed from Almirall certain technology owned or in-licensed by Almirall or its affiliates that is necessary or useful to develop or commercialize sarecycline outside of the U.S. Almirall plans to develop sarecycline for acne in China, with a submission to the China National Medical Products Administration, or NMPA, expected in 2023.
The Company has incurred significant losses since inception in 1996. The Company has generated an accumulated deficit of $761.9 million through June 30, 2020 and may require substantial additional funding in connection with the Company’s continuing operations to support clinical development and commercialization activities associated with NUZYRA. Based upon the Company’s current operating plan, it anticipates that its cash, cash equivalents and available for sale marketable securities of $186.8 million as of June 30, 2020 will enable the Company to fund operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months from the issuance of the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company expects to finance future cash needs primarily through a combination of product sales, royalties, public or private equity offerings, debt or other structured financings, strategic collaborations and grant funding. The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, risks of failure of preclinical studies and clinical trials, the need to obtain additional financing to fund the future development of the Company’s product candidates, the need to obtain compliant product from third party manufacturers, the need to obtain marketing approval for the Company’s product candidates, the need to successfully commercialize and gain market acceptance of product candidates, the risks of manufacturing product with an external supply chain, dependence on key personnel, and compliance with government regulations as well as the risks discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 10, 2020, or the 2019 Form 10-K, in the Company’s other filings with the SEC and in the “Risk Factors” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates, which are detailed in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, have not changed except as discussed below.
Revenue Earned Under Government Contracts
If the Company concludes that some or all aspects of its government contracts represent a transaction with a customer to obtain services or goods that are an output of its ordinary activities in exchange for consideration, it accounts for those aspects of the arrangement in accordance with ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. Arrangements that are entirely in the scope of other guidance are accounted for under that guidance. The Company’s accounting policy under ASC 606, which is included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, has not changed.
The Company recognizes sales of NUZYRA under its government contracts as product revenue when control of NUZYRA is transferred, in accordance with ASC 606. It also recognizes government contract service revenue and government contract grant revenue as defined below.
Government Contract Service Revenue
Government contract service revenue is recognized as services are performed. Revenue and related reimbursable expenses are presented on a gross basis in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The related reimbursable expenses are expensed as incurred as research and development expense.
Government Contract Grant Revenue
Government contract grant revenue is recognized as the related reimbursable expenses are incurred. The cost reimbursements that are reported as revenue is presented gross of the related reimbursable expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The related reimbursable expenses are expensed as incurred as research and development expense.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations of Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Paratek Pharma, LLC, Paratek Securities Corporation, Transcept Pharma, Inc., Paratek UK Limited, Paratek Royalty Corporation, and Paratek Ireland Limited. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses in the Company’s financial statements. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to, among other items, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, goodwill, net product revenue, government contract service revenue, government contract grant revenue, collaboration and royalty revenue, leases, stock-based compensation arrangements, manufacturing and clinical accruals, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Changes in estimates are reflected in reported results in the period in which they become known by the Company’s management.
Segment and Geographic Information
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise engaging in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company views its operations and manages its business in one operating segment.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash, restricted cash, and accounts receivable. The Company places its cash in an accredited financial institution and this balance is above federally insured amounts. The Company has no off-balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such as foreign currency exchange contracts, option contracts or other hedging arrangements.
7
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020 represents $7.6 million due from customers on sales of NUZYRA, net of prompt payment discounts, chargebacks, rebates and certain fees. The balance of accounts receivable as of June 30, 2020, includes estimated revenue earned of $0.3 million of royalties on SEYSARA sales under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement (as defined below) and XERAVA TM (eravacycline) sales under the Tetraphase License Agreement (as defined below), $0.3 million of government contract service revenue earned under the BARDA contract (as defined below), and $0.4 million of government contract grant revenue earned under the BARDA contract. Refer to Note 8, Government Contract Revenue, and Note 9, License and Collaboration Agreements, for further information on these agreements.

7. Net Loss Per Share
Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding during the period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method or the if-converted method, as applicable. For purposes of this calculation, shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt, stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, warrants to purchase common stock, and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share when their effect is dilutive.
The following outstanding shares subject to stock options and restricted stock units, warrants to purchase shares of common stock, common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and shares issuable under the employee stock purchase plan were antidilutive due to a net loss in the periods presented and, therefore, were excluded from the dilutive securities computation for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 as indicated below:

8. Government Contract Revenue
Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
On December 18, 2019, the Company entered into a five-year contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, herein referred to as the BARDA contract, with an option to extend up to ten years, to support the development of NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, FDA post-marketing requirements, or PMRs, associated with the initial NUZYRA approval, and with an option for BARDA to procure up to 10,000 treatment courses of NUZYRA for the Strategic National Stockpile, or SNS.
The BARDA contract could result in payments to the Company of up to approximately $284.7 million and consists of a five-year base period-of-performance and a total contract period-of-performance (base period plus option exercises) of up to ten years. Under the base period-of-performance, the Company will conduct activities necessary to (i) allow the product to be used under an Emergency Use Authorization, (ii) obtain licensure of NUZYRA through a supplemental New Drug Application, or NDA, submission for anthrax, and (iii) provide up to 2,500 treatment courses of the drug product to be stored as vendor managed inventory and subsequently delivered to the SNS. The contract options may be exercised to perform additional studies necessary for licensure, support post-licensure commitments as required by the FDA, additional security requirements, and procure additional treatment regimens.
Under the terms of the agreement, BARDA awarded initial funding of approximately $59.4 million for the development of NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax and the purchase of an initial 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA to add to the current SNS. The contract provides for additional staged funding, including approximately $76.8 million for existing FDA PMR commitments and approximately $20.4 million for manufacturing-related requirements, both of which began in April 2020. BARDA exercised the options to award the initial funding in December 2019 and the additional staged funding in April 2020. The additional staged funding will support all FDA PMRs associated with the approval of NUZYRA, including CABP and pediatric studies as well as a five-year post-marketing bacterial surveillance study, and support the U.S. onshoring and security requirements of Paratek manufacturing activities for NUZYRA.
The remaining funding under the BARDA contract includes the potential for approximately $12.7 million to support the development of NUZYRA for the prophylaxis of anthrax and a maximum of approximately $115.4 million to provide for three additional purchases of NUZYRA, each of which may be exercised upon development milestones related to the anthrax treatment development program.
The BARDA contract contains a number of terms and conditions that are customary for government contracts of this nature, including provisions giving the government the right to terminate the contract at any time for its convenience.
The Company evaluated the BARDA contract under ASC 606 and concluded that a portion of the arrangement represents a transaction with a customer. The Company identified five material promises under the BARDA contract: (i) research and development services performed for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, (ii) the procurement of 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA, (iii) an option for services performed for the supplemental late-stage development of NUZYRA for treatment and prophylaxis of pulmonary anthrax, (iv) an option for services related to U.S. manufacturing onshoring and security requirements, which includes shelf-life stability extension work and regulatory activities that will benefit the manufacturing processes that support NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax and (v) options to procure up to three 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA.
In December 2019, the Company determined material promises (i) and (ii) above were performance obligations since they were distinct within the context of the contract as the services are separately identifiable from other promises within the arrangement. The Company also determined that for (i) and (ii) the transaction price included within the BARDA contract was equivalent to the standalone selling price of the services and the cost of the procurement.
The Company evaluated the material promises that contained option rights ((iii), (iv), and (v) above). The Company determined that (iii) and (iv) were not offered at a discount that is incremental to the range of discounts typically given for these goods and services, and therefore do not represent material rights. As such, options for additional services in (iii) and (iv) were not considered performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement. The Company also evaluated the future procurement option rights (v) and determined that those option rights represent a material right. As such, the optional additional NUZYRA procurements in (v) were considered performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement. The Company concluded that three performance obligations existed at the outset of the BARDA contract.
10
As the BARDA contract is partially within the scope of ASC 606 and partially within the scope of other guidance, the Company applied the guidance of ASC 606 to initially measure the parts of the contract within ASC 606. The total transaction price of the parts of the BARDA contract that existed at the outset of the contract that fall under ASC 606 was determined to be $63.6 million, inclusive of $4.2 million in variable consideration, and was allocated to each of the three performance obligations based on the performance obligation’s estimated relative stand-alone selling prices. As of June 30, 2020, the Company reevaluated the variable consideration of $4.2 million that is included in the transaction price and determined that the variable consideration should not be constrained as it is not probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will occur in a future period. The transaction price was allocated as follows: $21.5 million to research and development services performed for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax in (i), which will be classified as government contract service revenue when recognized, $37.9 million to the procurement of 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA in (ii), which will be classified as product revenue when recognized, and a total of $4.2 million to the options to procure up to three 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA in (v), which would be included within product revenue when recognized upon exercise and transfer of control of related treatment courses. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the research and development services performed for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax based on the Company’s projected cost of providing the services plus an applicable profit margin commensurate with observable market data for similar services. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the procurement of 2,500 treatment courses of NUZYRA based on historical pricing of the Company’s commercial products to similar customers. The Company estimated the stand-alone selling price of the future procurement options based on the discount that the customer would obtain when exercising the option, adjusted for any discount that the customer could receive without entering into the contract, and the likelihood that the option will be exercised.
The Company’s performance obligations are either satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time.
The Company concluded that research and development services performed for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax in (i) would be recognized as government contract service revenue over time as the performance obligation is satisfied. Costs incurred represent work performed, which corresponds with, and thereby best depicts, the transfer of control to the customer. Types of contract costs include labor, material, and third-party services.
The product procurement performance obligations ((ii) and, if any optional additional procurements are exercised from, (v) above), generate revenue at a point in time, which will be upon transfer of control of the product. As such, the related revenue for these performance obligations will be recognized at a point in time as product revenue within the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. As of June 30, 2020, no product procurement performance obligations have been completed and therefore no product revenue has been recognized.
In April 2020, BARDA exercised its option to obtain manufacturing-related services under material promise (iv) and the Company is accounting for these services as a separate $20.4 million contract for accounting purposes since manufacturing-related services were determined at the contract outset to be optional services that did not represent a material right. The Company’s manufacturing-related services are satisfied over time as work progresses.
The Company recognized $0.4 million and $0.8 million of government contract service revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations, excluding unexercised contract options, was $83.2 million. The Company expects to recognize this amount as revenue over the next six years.
The Company concluded that BARDA’s reimbursement for existing FDA PMR requirements associated with the initial NUZYRA approval was not within the scope of ASC 606 as BARDA is not receiving services as the Company’s customer. The Company estimated the consideration to be allocated to government contract grant revenue based on the consideration under the BARDA contract in excess of the estimated standalone selling prices for components of the BARDA contract accounted for under ASC 606. The Company recognizes the allocated consideration for BARDA’s reimbursement of existing FDA PMR requirements associated with the initial NUZYRA approval of $72.6 million as government contract grant revenue as the related reimbursable expenses are incurred.
The Company recognized $0.4 million of government contract grant revenue under the BARDA contract during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
11
Contract Balances
Contract assets (i.e. unbilled accounts receivable) and/or contract liabilities (i.e. customer advances and deposits) may exist at the end of each reporting period under the BARDA contract. When amounts are received prior to performance obligations being satisfied, the amounts allocated to those performance obligations are reflected as contract liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as deferred revenue, until the performance obligations are satisfied.
As of June 30, 2020, no such deferred revenue was recorded. Future deferred revenue will be included within other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
9. License and Collaboration Agreements
Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
On March 18, 2019, Paratek and Tetraphase Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or Tetraphase, entered into a License Agreement, or the Tetraphase License Agreement. Under the terms of the Tetraphase License Agreement, Paratek granted to Tetraphase a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under certain Paratek patents, to develop, make, have, use, import, offer for sale and sell the licensed product, or XERAVA, which is a drug for the treatment of complicated, intra-abdominal infections caused by bacteria, which was approved by the FDA in August 2018.
The terms of the Tetraphase License Agreement provide for Tetraphase to pay Paratek royalties at a low single digit percent on net product revenues of the licensed product sold in the U.S. Tetraphase’s obligation to pay royalties with respect to the licensed product shall be retroactive to the date of the first commercial sale of the licensed product in the U.S., which occurred in February 2019. Tetraphase is currently selling XERAVA in the U.S.
The Tetraphase License Agreement will continue until the expiration of and payment by Tetraphase of all of Tetraphase’s payment obligations, which is when there are no longer any valid claims of the licensed Paratek patents that would be infringed, in the absence of a license, by a manufacture, use, or sales of the licensed product. The principal licensed patent under the Tetraphase License Agreement is expected to expire in October 2023.
The Company recognized an insignificant amount of royalty revenue during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 under the Tetraphase License Agreement.
Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.
On April 21, 2017, Paratek Bermuda Ltd., a former wholly-owned subsidiary of Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and Zai Lab (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., or Zai, entered into a License and Collaboration Agreement, or the Zai Collaboration Agreement. On December 18, 2019 Paratek Bermuda Ltd. assigned its rights under the Zai Collaboration Agreement to Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Under the terms of the Zai Collaboration Agreement, Paratek granted Zai an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize omadacycline, or the licensed product, in the PRC, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, or the Zai territory, for all human therapeutic and preventative uses other than biodefense. Zai will be responsible for the development, manufacturing and commercialization of the licensed product in the Zai territory, at its sole cost with certain assistance from Paratek.
Under the terms of the Zai Collaboration Agreement, Paratek earned an upfront cash payment of $7.5 million in April 2017, $5.0 million upon approval by the FDA of a NDA, submission in the CABP indication, in October 2018, and $3.0 million upon submission of the first regulatory approval application for a licensed product in the PRC in December 2019. The Center for Drug Evaluation of China’s NMPA granted priority review status to the NDA submitted by Zai for the treatment of CABP and ABSSI in May 2020. Paratek is eligible to receive up to $6.0 million in potential future regulatory milestone payments and $40.5 million in potential future commercial milestone payments, the next being $6.0 million upon regulatory approval for a licensed product in the PRC. The terms of the Zai Collaboration Agreement also provide for Zai to pay Paratek tiered royalties at a low double digit to mid-teen percent on net sales of the licensed product in the Zai territory.
The Zai Collaboration Agreement will continue, on a region-by-region basis, until the expiration of and payment by Zai of all Zai’s payment obligations, which is until the later of: (i) the abandonment, expiry or final determination of invalidity of the last valid claim within the Paratek patents that covers the licensed product in the region in the Zai territory in the manner that Zai or its affiliates or sublicensees exploit the licensed product or intend for the licensed product to be exploited or (ii) the eleventh anniversary of the first commercial sale of such licensed product in such region.
12
The Company evaluated the Zai Collaboration Agreement under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company determined that there were six material promises under the Zai Collaboration Agreement: (i) an exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize omadacycline in the Zai territory, (ii) the initial technology transfer, (iii) a transfer of certain materials and materials know-how, (iv) optional manufacturing services, (v) optional regulatory support and (vi) optional commercialization support. The Company determined that the exclusive license and initial technology transfer were not distinct from one another, as the license has limited value without the transfer of the Company’s technology; which will allow Zai to develop the manufacturing process and commercialize omadacycline in the Zai territory in the timeline anticipated under the agreement. Without the technology transfer, Zai would incur additional costs to recreate the Company’s know-how. Therefore, the license and initial technology transfer are combined as a single performance obligation. The transfer of materials is a single distinct performance obligation. The Company evaluated the option rights for manufacturing services, regulatory support and commercialization support to determine whether they represent or include material rights to Zai and concluded that the options were not issued at a discount, and therefore do not represent material rights. As such, they are not considered performance obligations at the outset of the arrangement.
Based on these assessments, the Company determined that two performance obligations existed at the outset of the Zai Collaboration Agreement: (i) the exclusive license combined with the initial technology transfer and (ii) the transfer of certain materials.
The Company satisfied both performance obligations and recognized the upfront payment of $7.5 million as revenue in the year ended December 31, 2017. Future potential milestone payments were excluded from the transaction price as they are fully constrained as the risk of significant reversal has not yet been resolved. The achievement of the future potential milestones is not within the Company’s control and is subject to certain research and development success or regulatory approvals and therefore carry significant uncertainty. The Company will reevaluate the likelihood of achieving future milestones at the end of each reporting period. As all performance obligations have been satisfied, if the risk of significant reversal is resolved, any future milestone revenue from the arrangement will be recognized as revenue in the period the risk is relieved.
As FDA approval was not within the control of the Company and was not obtained until October 2018, the achievement of the milestone was not deemed probable and the risk of significant reversal of revenue was not resolved until that time. Upon the FDA approval, the uncertainty related to this milestone was resolved and a significant reversal of revenue would not occur in future periods. As such, the $5.0 million milestone payment was recognized as revenue at the time of FDA approval in the fourth quarter of 2018.
As submission of the first regulatory approval application for a licensed product in the PRC is not within the control of the Company and was not obtained until December 2019, the achievement of the milestone was not was not deemed probable and the risk of significant reversal of revenue was not resolved until that time. Upon submission, the uncertainty related to this milestone was resolved and a significant reversal of revenue would not occur in future periods. As such, the $3.0 million milestone payment was recognized as revenue at the time of the regulatory approval application submission in the fourth quarter of 2019.
As regulatory approval in the PRC is not within the control of the Company, the achievement of the milestone was not deemed probable and the risk of significant reversal of revenue was not resolved as of June 30, 2020. As such, the next milestone payment was not recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020 or during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Almirall, LLC
In July 2007, the Company and Warner Chilcott Company, Inc. (which became a part of Allergan plc, or Allergan), entered into a collaborative research and license agreement under which the Company granted Allergan an exclusive license to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize tetracycline products for use in the U.S. for the treatment of acne and rosacea. In September 2018, Allergan assigned to Almirall its rights under the collaboration agreement, or the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. Since Allergan did not exercise its development option with respect to the treatment of rosacea prior to initiation of a Phase 3 trial for the product, the license grant to Allergan, which was assigned to Almirall, converted to a non-exclusive license for the treatment of rosacea as of December 2014.
Under the terms of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement, Almirall is responsible for and is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize tetracycline compounds that are specified in the agreement for the treatment of acne. The Company has agreed during the term of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement not to directly or indirectly develop or commercialize any tetracycline compounds in the U.S. for the treatment of acne, and Almirall has agreed during the term of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement not to directly or indirectly develop or commercialize any tetracycline compound included as part of the agreement for any use other than as provided in the Almirall Collaboration Agreement.
13
In February 2020, the Company finalized a license agreement with Almirall granting the Company exclusive rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize sarecycline outside of the U.S., including rights of reference to Almirall’s clinical data thus formalizing the Company’s rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize sarecycline in the rest of the world. In connection with that license, the Company then exclusively licensed Almirall pursuant to the Almirall China License Agreement, the rights to develop, manufacture and commercialize sarecycline in the greater China region. Almirall currently holds a nonexclusive license to develop and commercialize sarecycline for the treatment of rosacea in the U.S., and in the U.S., Paratek cannot grant rights on back-up compounds, lead candidate(s), or products licensed to Almirall for rosacea.
The Almirall Collaboration Agreement contains two performance obligations: (i) an exclusive license to research, develop and commercialize tetracycline products for use in the U.S. for the treatment of acne and rosacea and (ii) research and development services. The performance obligation to deliver the license was satisfied upon execution of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement in July 2007. All research and development services were completed by December 2010. The options provided to Almirall for additional development services do not provide Almirall with a material right as these services will not be provided at a significant or incremental discount. As such, the option services are not performance obligations. As the performance obligation to deliver the license was satisfied in 2007 and research and development services were completed by December 2010, all subsequent milestone payments are recognized as revenue when the risk of significant reversal is resolved, generally when the milestone event occurs.
The Company received an upfront fee in the amount of $4.0 million upon the execution of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement, $1.0 million upon filing of an Investigational New Drug Application in 2010, $2.5 million upon initiation of Phase 2 trials in 2012 and $4.0 million upon initiation of Phase 3 trials associated with the Almirall Collaboration Agreement in December 2014.
In December 2017, the FDA’s acceptance of the NDA for sarecycline was received, triggering a milestone payment of $5.0 million earned upon acceptance of an NDA for a product licensed under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement.
In October 2018, the FDA’s regulatory approval of sarecycline, under the tradename SEYSARA, triggered the last milestone payment under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement of $12.0 million. Since FDA approval of SEYSARA was outside of the Company’s control and not obtained until October 2, 2018, the achievement of the milestone was not deemed probable and the risk of significant reversal of revenue was not resolved until such time. Upon the FDA approval, the uncertainty related to this milestone was resolved and a significant reversal of revenue would not occur in future periods. As such, the $12.0 million milestone payment was recognized as revenue at the time of FDA approval in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Almirall is also obligated to pay the Company tiered royalties, ranging from the mid-single digits to the low double digits, based on net sales of tetracycline compounds developed under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement, with a standard royalty reduction post patent expiration for such product for the remainder of the royalty term. Almirall’s obligation to pay the Company royalties for each tetracycline compound it commercializes under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement expires on the later of the expiration of the last to expire patent that covers the tetracycline compound in the U.S. and the date on which generic drugs that compete with the tetracycline compound reach a certain threshold market share in the U.S.
Royalty payments are recognized when the sales occur. The Company recognized $0.3 million and $0.5 million of royalty revenue recognized for sales of SEYSARA in the U.S. by Almirall for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. During the second quarter of 2020, royalty revenue recognized for sales of SEYSARA in the U.S. was estimated using third party data and an approximation of discounts and allowances to calculate net product sales, to which the Company then applied the applicable royalty percentage specified in the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenues will be adjusted for in the period in which they become known, which is expected to be the following quarter.
In February 2020, the Company entered into (i) an ex-U.S. license agreement with Almirall, or the Ex-U.S. License, under which Almirall granted the Company an exclusive license in and to certain technology owned or in-licensed by Almirall or its affiliates in order to research, develop, manufacture and commercialize sarecycline for the treatment of acne in all countries other than the U.S. and (ii) a license agreement with Almirall that is specific to China, or the China License, under which the Company granted to Almirall an exclusive license in and to certain technology owned or in-licensed by the Company or its affiliates in order to research, develop and commercialize sarecycline for the treatment of acne in the greater China region.
Under the terms of the China License, Almirall is responsible for and is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize sarecycline for the treatment of acne, including requirements to (i) file an Investigational New Drug Application (or analogous foreign submission) for sarecycline for the treatment of acne in the greater China region in calendar year 2020, (ii) receive regulatory approval for sarecycline for the treatment of acne in the greater China region within seven years following such submission and (iii) commercialize sarecycline for the treatment of acne in the greater China region within eighteen months after obtaining regulatory approval. If Almirall does not satisfy the diligence requirements set forth in subclauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Company may terminate the China License.
14
The Company has agreed during the term of the Ex-U.S. License to use commercially reasonable efforts to not, directly or indirectly, make sarecycline products commercialized by the Company, its affiliates or its sublicensees available for resale in the U.S., and Almirall has agreed during the term of the Ex-U.S. License to use commercially reasonable efforts to not, directly or indirectly, make sarecycline products commercialized by Almirall, their affiliates or their sublicensees available for resale outside of the greater China region. Similarly, the Company has agreed during the term of the China License to use commercially reasonable efforts to not, directly or indirectly, make sarecycline products commercialized by the Company, its affiliates or its sublicensees available for resale in the greater China region, and Almirall has agreed during the term of the China License to use commercially reasonable efforts to not, directly or indirectly, make sarecycline products commercialized by Almirall, their affiliates or their sublicensees available for resale outside of the greater China region, other than as provided in the Almirall Collaboration Agreement.
In connection with the Ex-U.S. License, the Company pays Almirall, on a country-by-country and product-by-product basis, (i) for eight years following the first commercial sale of a sarecycline product in a country, a royalty in the middle-single digits on its or its affiliates’ nets sales of sarecycline products outside of the U.S., subject to certain standard reductions, and (ii) for fifteen years following the first commercial sale of a sarecycline product in a country, a percentage of the consideration (e.g., milestones, royalties) we receive from sublicensees in connection with developing and commercializing sarecycline outside of the U.S., which ranges from one-fifth to one-half of such consideration, subject to certain standard reductions. In connection with the China License, for fifteen years following the first commercial sale of a sarecycline product in China, Almirall pays the Company a royalty in the high-single digits on their, their affiliates’ or their sublicensees’ net sales of sarecycline products in the greater China region, subject to certain standard reductions.
Tufts University
In February 1997, the Company and Tufts University, or Tufts, entered into a license agreement under which the Company acquired an exclusive license to certain patent applications and other intellectual property of Tufts related to the drug resistance field to develop and commercialize products for the treatment or prevention of bacterial or microbial diseases or medical conditions in humans or animals or for agriculture. The Company subsequently entered into eleven amendments to that agreement, collectively the Tufts License Agreement, to include patent applications filed after the effective date of the original license agreement, to exclusively license additional technology from Tufts, to expand the field of the agreement to include disinfectant applications, and to change the royalty rate and percentage of sublicense income paid by the Company to Tufts under sublicense agreements with specified sublicensees. The Company is obligated under the Tufts License Agreement to provide Tufts with annual diligence reports and a business plan and to meet certain other diligence milestones. The Company has the right to grant sublicenses of the licensed rights to third parties, which will be subject to the prior approval of Tufts unless the proposed sublicensee meets a certain net worth or market capitalization threshold. The Company is primarily responsible for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of all patent applications and patents covering the intellectual property licensed under the Tufts License Agreement at its sole expense. The Company has the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce the licensed intellectual property against infringement by third parties.
The Company issued Tufts 1,024 shares of the Company’s common stock on the date of execution of the original license agreement, and the Company was required to make certain payments of up to $0.3 million to Tufts upon the achievement by products developed under the Tufts License Agreement of specified development and regulatory approval milestones. The Company made a payment of $50,000 to Tufts for achieving the first milestone following commencement of the Phase 3 clinical trial for omadacycline and a payment of $100,000 to Tufts for achieving the second milestone following its first marketing application submitted in the U.S. The third, and final, payment of $150,000 became due upon FDA approval of omadacycline in October 2018. The Company is also obligated to pay Tufts a minimum royalty payment in the amount of $25,000 per year. In addition, the Company is obligated to pay Tufts royalties based on gross sales of products, as defined in the agreement, ranging in the low single digits depending on the applicable field of use for such product sale. If the Company enters into a sublicense under the Tufts License Agreement, based on the applicable field of use for such product, the Company will be obligated to pay Tufts (i) a percentage, ranging from 10% to 14% (ten percent to fourteen percent) for compounds other than omadacycline, and a percentage in the single digits for the compound omadacycline, of that portion of any sublicense issue fees or maintenance fees received by the Company that are reasonably attributable to the sublicense of the rights granted to the Company under the Tufts License Agreement and (ii) the lesser of (a) a percentage, ranging from the low tens to the high twenties based on the applicable field of use for such product, of the royalty payments made to the Company by the sublicensee or (b) the amount of royalty payments that would have been paid by the Company to Tufts if the Company had sold the product.
Unless terminated earlier, the Tufts License Agreement will expire at the same time as the last-to-expire patent in the patent rights licensed to the Company under the agreement and after any such expiration the Company will continue to have an exclusive, fully-paid-up license to such intellectual property licensed from Tufts. Tufts has the right to terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ notice should the Company fail to make a material payment under the Tufts License Agreement or commit a material breach of the agreement and not cure such failure or breach within such 30-day period, or if, after the Company has started to commercialize a product under the Tufts License Agreement, the Company ceases to carry on its business for a period of 90 consecutive days. The Company has the right to terminate the Tufts License Agreement at any time upon 180 days’ notice. Tufts has the right to convert the Company’s exclusive license to a non-exclusive license if the Company does not commercialize a product licensed under the Tufts License Agreement within a specified time period.
15
The Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of royalty expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Past Collaborations
Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd.
In September 2009, the Company and Novartis International Pharmaceutical Ltd., or Novartis, entered into a Collaborative Development, Manufacture and Commercialization License Agreement, or the Novartis Agreement, which provided Novartis with a global, exclusive patent and technology license for the development, manufacturing and marketing of omadacycline. The Novartis Agreement was terminated by Novartis without cause in June 2011 and the termination was effective 60 days later. The Company and Novartis subsequently entered in a letter agreement in January 2012, or the Novartis Letter Agreement, as amended, pursuant to which we reconciled shared development costs and expenses and granted Novartis a right of first negotiation with respect to commercialization rights of omadacycline following approval of omadacycline from the FDA, European Medicines Agency, or any regulatory agency, but only to the extent the Company had not previously granted such commercialization rights related to omadacycline to another third party as of any such approval. The Company also agreed to pay Novartis a 0.25% royalty, to be paid from net sales received by the Company in any country following the launch of omadacycline in that country and continuing until the later of expiration of the last active valid patent claim covering such product in the country of sale and 10 years from the date of first commercial sale in such country. The first royalty payment became payable as of March 31, 2019. The amended Novartis Letter Agreement resulted in a long-term liability in the amount of $3.3 million and $3.4 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, included within “Other liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. In addition, a short-term liability of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, included within “Other current liabilities” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, represents the portion of royalty payments due to Novartis within twelve months. There are no other payment obligations to Novartis under the Novartis Agreement or the amended Novartis Letter Agreement.
10. Capital Stock
In July 2019, the Company entered into an At the Market Sales Agreement, or the 2019 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, and BTIG, LLC, or BTIG, under which it may offer and sell its common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies or BTIG as its sales agents. Sales of the Company’s common stock through Jefferies or BTIG, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Market or any other existing trading market for its common stock. Jefferies and BTIG will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Company’s common stock from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). The Company will pay Jefferies or BTIG, as applicable, a commission of 3% of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through Jefferies and BTIG under the 2019 Sales Agreement. The Company has also provided Jefferies and BTIG with customary indemnification rights.
The Company is not obligated to make any sales of common stock under the 2019 Sales Agreement. The Company sold 4,937,278 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement for $20.8 million in proceeds, after deducting commissions of $0.6 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of July 31, 2020, $1.1 million remains available for sale under the 2019 Sales Agreement.
The offering of shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all common stock subject to the 2019 Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the 2019 Sales Agreement in accordance with its terms.

12. Fair Value Measurements
Financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, money market funds, U.S. treasury securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are carried on the condensed consolidated financial statements at amounts that approximate fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of the balance sheet date. The fair value of the Company’s debt (including the Notes as defined in Note 14, Debt), is $216.1 million as of June 30, 2020. The fair value of the Company’s debt was determined using Level 3 inputs. Fair values are based on assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates, reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs utilized to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or other inputs that are observable market data. Fair values determined by Level 3 inputs utilize unobservable data points for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability (in thousands):

Stock Plan Activity
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2015 Plan, which was approved by Company stockholders at the annual meeting of shareholders held on June 9, 2015, reserving 1,200,000 shares of common stock for the grant of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, RSU awards, performance stock awards, performance cash awards and other stock awards to directors, officers, employees and consultants. The 2015 Plan is intended to be the successor to and continuation of the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 2006 Incentive Award Plan and the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, or collectively, the Prior Plans. When the 2015 Plan became effective, no additional stock awards were granted under the Prior Plans, although all outstanding stock awards granted under the Prior Plans will continue to be subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the agreements evidencing such stock awards and the terms of the Prior Plans. On January 1, 2020, 1,991,387 shares of common stock were automatically added to the shares authorized
18
for issuance under the 2015 Plan pursuant to a “Share Reserve” provision contained in the 2015 Plan. The Share Reserve automatically increases on January 1 of each year, for the period commencing on (and including) January 1, 2016 and ending on (and including) January 1, 2025, in an amount equal to 5% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors of the Company may act prior to January 1 of a given year to provide that there will be no January 1 increase in the Share Reserve for such year or that the increase in the Share Reserve for such year will be a lesser number of shares of common stock than would otherwise automatically occur. Total shares available for future issuance under the 2015 Plan are 1,371,077 shares as of June 30, 2020.
The Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense of awards subject to performance-based vesting conditions over the requisite service period, to the extent achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable relative to targeted performance using the accelerated attribution method. If achievement of the performance condition is not probable, but the award will vest based on the service condition, the Company recognizes the stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period. A change in the requisite service period that does not change the estimate of the total stock-based compensation expense (i.e., it does not affect the grant-date fair value or quantity of awards to be recognized) is recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors granted 61,300 stock options and 2,495,950 RSUs to directors, executives and employees of the Company under the 2015 Plan. The stock option awards are subject to time-based vesting over a period of one to four years. The RSU awards granted to executives in February 2020 are subject to time-based vesting, with 1/3 of the shares vesting on December 10, 2020, or the Initial Vest Date, and an additional 1/3 of the shares vesting on the succeeding two anniversaries of the Initial Vesting Date. The RSU awards granted to non-executive employees of the Company in February 2020 are subject to time-based vesting and vest in three equal installments commencing on each of the one-year anniversaries of the grant date. The grants also included performance-based RSU, or PRSU, awards to certain executives and employees of the Company. The PRSU awards granted in February 2020 will vest as follows: (a) 25/55 on certain net product revenue achievements, (b) 15/55 on achievement of certain clinical milestones related to NUZYRA and (c) 15/55 on achievement of certain regulatory milestones related to NUZYRA. Since the Company believes it is probable that milestone (b) above will be achieved, the Company recognized compensation cost for a total of $0.2 million for the performance condition during the six months ended June 30, 2020 using the accelerated attribution method.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors granted PRSU awards to certain executives and employees of the Company in February 2019 and July 2019 under the 2015 Plan that will vest as follows: (a) 25/60 and (b) 25/60, each, on certain net product revenue achievements and (c) the remaining 10/60 on certain other business achievements. Since the Company believes it is probable that milestones (a) and (b) above will be achieved, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense for a total of $0.8 million for the performance conditions during the six months ended June 30, 2020 using the accelerated attribution method. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors modified the vesting terms related to the PRSUs that were expected to time vest on attainment of certain other business achievements. The modification resulted in the recognition of an insignificant amount of stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors granted PRSU awards to certain executives and employees of the Company and those awards have vested or will vest as follows: (a) 10/55 shall be earned and time vest on achievement of European Medicines Agency, or EMA, filing preliminary validation, which occurred in October 2018, (b) 20/55 shall be earned and time vest on achievement of EMA approval of omadacycline, and (c) 25/55 shall be earned on achievement of the launch of omadacycline in the U.S. and time vest on the date that is 15 months following such launch date. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors modified the vesting terms related to the PRSUs in (b) above which were expected to time vest on achievement of EMA approval of omadacycline. The Company determined the awards were probable of vesting under the modified conditions. The modification resulted in 136,000 shares vesting during the year ended December 31, 2019 and the recognition of stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019.
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2015 Inducement Plan, or the 2015 Inducement Plan, in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), reserving 360,000 shares of common stock solely for the grant of inducement stock options to employees entering into employment or returning to employment after a bona fide period of non-employment with the Company. The Company has not made any grants under the 2015 Inducement Plan since December 31, 2015. Although the Company does not currently anticipate the issuance of additional grants under the 2015 Inducement Plan, as of June 30, 2020, 306,500 shares remain available for grant under that plan, as well as any shares underlying outstanding stock options that may become available for grant pursuant to the plan’s terms. It is therefore possible that the Company may, based on the business and recruiting needs of the Company, issue additional stock options under the 2015 Inducement Plan.
19
In June 2017, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2017 Inducement Plan, or the 2017 Inducement Plan, in accordance with Nasdaq Rule 5635(c)(4), reserving 550,000 shares of common stock solely for the grant of inducement stock options and RSU awards to employees entering into employment or returning to employment after a bona fide period of non-employment with the Company. In October 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the reserve of an additional 500,000 shares for the 2017 Inducement Plan, for a total of 1,050,000 shares reserved for issuance under it. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors granted 21,100 stock options and 17,600 RSUs to employees of the Company under the 2017 Inducement Plan. The stock option awards are subject to time-based vesting over a period of one to four years. The RSU awards are generally subject to time-based vesting, with 100% of the shares of common stock subject to the RSU award vesting three years from the grant date. As of June 30, 2020, 430,003 shares remain available for grant under the 2017 Inducement Plan, as well as any shares underlying awards that may become available for grant pursuant to the plan’s terms.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, certain executives voluntarily forfeited 1,073,891 outstanding stock options with exercise prices significantly above the current trading price of the Company’s common stock in order to make additional shares available for future grants to Company employees subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 2020 under the Company’s 2014 Equity Incentive Plan, 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, and the 2017 Inducement Plan. On the dates of forfeiture, the total amount of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of each award was accelerated and recognized, which resulted in the recognition of $0.2 million of stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
On June 3, 2009, at the annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders of the Company approved the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2009 ESPP. The Company’s 2009 ESPP is designed to allow eligible employees of the Company to purchase shares of common stock through periodic payroll deductions and during specified offering periods under the plan. The price of common stock purchased under the 2009 ESPP is equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the commencement date of each offering period or the specified purchase date. As of June 30, 2020, 36,539 shares were available for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. Since the Merger, the Company has not made the 2009 ESPP available to employees.
20
2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and in June 2018 Company’s stockholders approved, the Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2018 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or the 2018 ESPP. The 2018 ESPP was amended in October 2018 to change the commencement dates of the offering periods. The maximum aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be purchased under the 2018 ESPP is 943,294 shares, or the ESPP Share Pool, subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2018 ESPP. The 2018 ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares during certain offering periods, which will be six -month periods commencing June 1 and ending November 30 and commencing December 1 and ending May 31 of each year. The first offering under the 2018 ESPP occurred on December 1, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company issued 130,055 shares of common stock with proceeds of $0.3 million. As of June 30, 2020, 631,593 shares remain available for issuance. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recognized an insignificant amount in related stock-based compensation expense.
Revenue Performance Incentive Plan
On October 4, 2018, the Company adopted the Revenue Performance Incentive Plan, or the Plan, to grant performance-based cash incentive awards to key employees and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for an incentive pool of up to $50.0 million, plus accrued interest during the period between the awards’ vesting date and payment dates. Each participant will be allocated a percentage of the incentive pool.
The incentive pool will be divided into two equal tranches with the first tranche vesting upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative net product revenues over $300.0 million by December 31, 2025, or Tranche 1, and the second tranche vesting upon the Company’s achievement of cumulative product revenues over $600.0 million by December 31, 2026, or Tranche 2. Participants will vest annually in each tranche of their awards in four equal installments on December 31, 2019, December 31, 2020, December 31, 2021, and December 31, 2022, subject to their continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. If a participant’s employment terminates prior to December 31, 2022 due to death or disability, the participant will automatically vest in an additional 25% of each tranche of his or her award. Upon the achievement of a Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 milestone (but not a deemed achievement in connection with a change of control), each participant who has remained in continuous employment with the Company through December 31, 2022 will be 100% vested in the applicable tranche. In the event of a change of control of the Company prior to December 31, 2026, participants whose employment has terminated prior to such date will be eligible for payouts under the Plan based on the then-vested portion of their awards, and participants who have remained employed through the change of control will be deemed to have time vested in full in each tranche of their awards.
Upon the achievement of a Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 milestone (but not a deemed achievement in connection with a change of control), each participant’s payout in respect of the applicable tranche of his or her award will equal (a) the participant’s then-vested percentage, multiplied by (b) $25 million, multiplied by (c) the participant’s individual percentage allocation of the incentive pool.
If a change of control occurs prior to December 31, 2026, and the Tranche 1 milestone was not achieved prior to the change of control, the Tranche 1 milestone will be deemed to be achieved at a percentage equal to the greater of (1) 50% and (2) the cumulative product revenues as of the change of control, divided by $300.0 million. If a change of control occurs prior to December 31, 2026, and the Tranche 2 milestone was not achieved prior to the change of control, the Tranche 2 milestone will be deemed to be achieved at a percentage equal to the greater of (1) 30% and (2) the cumulative product revenues as of the change of control, divided by $600.0 million. A participant’s payout in respect of each tranche of his or her award in a change of control will equal (1) the participant’s then-vested percentage of such tranche, multiplied by (2) the percentage of that tranche’s milestone that has been achieved or is deemed to have been achieved, multiplied by (3) $25.0 million, multiplied by (4) the participant’s individual percentage allocation of the incentive pool.
Amounts that become payable upon achievement of the Tranche 1 milestone will be paid in a lump-sum in the first quarter of 2026 and amounts that become payable upon achievement of the Tranche 2 milestone will be paid in a lump-sum in the first quarter of 2027. In the event of a change of control, any portion of the incentive pool that is earned, but unpaid, or deemed earned in connection with the change of control will be paid at the time of the change of control.
If a change of control occurs prior to the achievement of either or both of the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 milestones, the awards will remain outstanding and the remaining unpaid portion of the incentive pool applicable to the Tranche 1 or Tranche 2 milestone, as applicable, will be paid following the achievement of either such milestone at the time or times the bonuses would otherwise be paid out. Any successor in interest to the Company upon or following a change of control will be required to assume all obligations under the Plan.
21
Awards may be paid out in cash or in a combination of cash and registered securities of equal value (based on the Company’s 20-day trailing average closing common stock price), with the portion paid in registered securities not to exceed 50% of the aggregate payment amount with respect to each tranche; provided, however, that any amounts payable with respect to an award in connection with a change in control will be paid in cash.
The Company will recognize the compensation cost over the requisite service period, to the extent achievement of the performance condition is deemed probable relative to targeted performance. The performance condition is not yet deemed probable; as such, no amounts were accrued under the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
14. Debt
Hercules Loan Agreement
On June 27, 2019, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the Loan Agreement, with Hercules Technology III, L.P., certain other lenders, together, the Lenders, and Hercules Capital, Inc. (as agent), under which the Company may borrow up to $100.0 million in multiple tranches, each, a Term Loan Tranche. The Loan Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Company’s prior Loan and Security Agreement with the Lenders dated as of September 30, 2015 to, among other things, provide for an extension of the scheduled maturity date of the $60.0 million Term Loan Tranche, or the First Tranche, from September 1, 2021 to September 1, 2023, upon certain events set forth in the Loan Agreement, and an extension of the scheduled maturity date of the $10.0 million Term Loan Tranche, or the Second Tranche, and additional Term Loan Tranches (if any), from August 1, 2022 to August 1, 2024, upon certain events set forth in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement also provides for an additional $10.0 million of additional Term Loan Tranches (up to a total of $30.0 million of additional Term Loan Tranches) that may be available to the Company, subject to approval by Hercules, in its sole discretion, whether to provide such tranches. As such there can be no assurance as to whether or not the additional Term Loan Tranches shall be funded.
The interest rate with respect to the First Tranche is a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.50% plus the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal minus 5.75%, and (ii) 8.50%. The interest rate with respect to the Second Tranche is, and the interest rate with respect to additional Term Loan Tranches (if any) will be, a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 7.85% plus the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal minus 5.75%, and (ii) 7.85%. An end of term charge equal to 4.5% with respect to $50.0 million of the First Tranche and equal to 2.25% with respect to the remaining $10.0 million of the First Tranche of the issued principal balance of the term loans is payable in September of 2020, and an end of term charge equal to 6.95% of the Second Tranche, and the Additional Term Loan Tranches (if any), of the issued principal balance of the term loans is payable at maturity, including in the event of any prepayment, and is being accrued as interest expense over the term of the term loans using the effective interest method. Payments under the Loan Agreement with respect to the First Tranche are interest only until January 1, 2021, followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date. Payments under the Loan Agreement with respect to the Second Tranche are, and with respect to additional Term Loan Tranches (if any) will be, interest only until January 1, 2021 (which can be extended to May 1, 2021 or September 1, 2021, upon certain events set forth in the Loan Agreement), followed by equal monthly payments of principal and interest through the scheduled maturity date. The Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of its and Paratek Pharma, LLC’s assets, other than intellectual property.
Under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, prepayment fees equaling 1.0% to 2.5% will apply to principal amounts prepaid prior to dates between September 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021, varying depending on the applicable tranche.
The Loan Agreement includes customary affirmative and restrictive covenants, including a liquidity covenant and a covenant against suffering a “change of control,” and also includes customary events of default, including payment defaults, breaches of covenants following any applicable cure period, a material impairment in the perfection or priority of Lenders’ security interest or in the value of the collateral, cross acceleration to the debt and certain events relating to bankruptcy or insolvency. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, a default interest rate of an additional 5% may be applied to the outstanding loan balances, and the Lenders may declare all outstanding obligations immediately due and payable and take such other actions as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
Borrowings under the Hercules Loan Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company.
22
Upon an Event of Default, an additional 5.0% interest would be applied, and Hercules could, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the term loans together with the prepayment and end of term charges. An Event of Default is defined in the Hercules Loan Agreement as (i) failure to make required payments; (ii) failure to adhere to financial, operating and reporting loan covenants; (iii) an event or development occurs that would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect; (iv) false representations in the Hercules Loan Agreement; (v) insolvency, as described in the Hercules Loan Agreement; (vi) levy or attachments on any of the Company's assets; and (vii) default of any other agreement or subordinated debt greater than $1.0 million. In the event of insolvency, this acceleration and declaration would be automatic. In addition, in connection with the Hercules Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to provide Hercules with a contingent security interest in the Company's bank accounts. The Company's control of its bank accounts is not adversely affected unless Hercules elects to obtain unilateral control of the Company's bank accounts by declaring that an Event of Default has occurred. The principal of the term loans, which is not due within 12 months of June 30, 2020, has been classified as long-term debt.
On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the First Amendment. Concurrently with the closing of the First Amendment, the Company repaid a Term Loan Tranche of $10.0 million and paid the Lenders the existing end of term charges equal to $2.5 million. Following the closing of the First Amendment, $60.0 million of Term Loan Tranches remained outstanding and $30.0 million of additional Term Loan Tranches remained available to the Company, subject to approval by Hercules, in its sole discretion, whether to provide such tranches. The First Amendment provided for an additional end of term charge equal to 1.95% of the issued principal balance of the Term Loan Tranches payable on August 1, 2022 or upon prepayment.
The First Amendment extended the date on which the Company is required to begin making monthly principal installments on the outstanding Term Loan Tranches from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022 (which can be extended to July 1, 2022 or January 1, 2023, upon certain events set forth in the First Amendment), and extended the scheduled maturity of the Term Loan Tranches from August 1, 2022 to September 1, 2022 (which can be extended to March 1, 2023 or September 1, 2023, upon certain events set forth in the First Amendment).
The First Amendment increased the cash interest rate with respect to the Term Loan Tranches to a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.85% or (ii) the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.35%, and provided for the payment of additional “paid-in-kind” interest by the Company under the First Amendment at a fixed per annum rate equal to 1.55%.
In connection with the First Amendment, on August 5, 2020, the Company issued an additional warrant to Hercules Capital, Inc. that is exercisable for a minimum of up to 407,239 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.42 per share. The First Amendment Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. The First Amendment Warrant is exercisable for a term beginning on the date of issuance and ending on the earlier of seven years from the date of issuance or the consummation of certain events of the Company as set forth in the First Amendment Warrant.

Debt issuance costs are presented on the consolidated balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than capitalized as an asset in accordance with ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.
The Company recognized interest expense of $1.7 million and $3.4 million on the Hercules Loan Agreement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with several initial purchasers, or the Initial Purchasers, for whom Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Leerink Partners LLC acted as representatives, relating to the sale of $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024, or the Notes, to the Initial Purchasers. The Company also granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which was exercised in full on April 20, 2018.
The Purchase Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities.
In addition, J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC, the Company’s financial advisor, purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in a separate, concurrent private placement on the same terms as other investors.
The Notes were issued by the Company on April 23, 2018, pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of such date, or the Indenture, between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, or the Trustee. The Notes bear cash interest at the annual rate of 4.75%, payable on November 1 and May 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2018, and mature on May 1, 2024 unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Company will settle conversions of the Notes through delivery of shares of common stock of the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The initial conversion rate for the Notes is 62.8931 shares of common stock (subject to adjustment as provided for in the Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes, which is equal to an initial conversion price of approximately $15.90 per share, representing a conversion premium of approximately 20% above the closing price of the common stock of $13.25 per share on April 18, 2018.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the stated maturity date.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to May 6, 2021. The Company may redeem for cash all or part of the Notes, at its option, on or after May 6, 2021 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
If the Company experiences a fundamental change, as described in the Indenture, prior to the maturity date of the Notes, holders of the Notes will, subject to specified conditions, have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or a portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date of the Notes and following a notice of redemption of the Notes, the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such corporate event or redemption.
The Indenture provides for customary events of default. In the case of an event of default with respect to the Notes arising from specified events of bankruptcy or insolvency, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other event of default with respect to the Notes under the Indenture occurs or is continuing, the Trustee or holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare the principal amount of the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
After deducting costs incurred of $6.0 million, the Company raised net proceeds from the issuance of long-term convertible debt of $159.0 million in April 2018. All costs were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the Notes at an effective interest rate of 5.47% and recorded as additional interest expense.
The Company has evaluated the Indenture for derivatives pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or ASC 815, and identified an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation as the feature is not clearly and closely related to the host instrument. The embedded derivative is a default provision, which could require additional interest payments. The Company determined in the prior year that the fair value of this embedded derivative was nominal.
24
The Company evaluated the conversion feature and determined it was not within the scope of ASC 815 and therefore is not required to be accounted for separately. The Company concluded that the embedded conversion option is not subject to separate accounting pursuant to either the cash conversion guidance or the beneficial conversion feature guidance. Under the general conversion guidance in ASC 470, Debt, all of the proceeds received from the Notes was recorded as a liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recognized coupon interest expense of $2.0 million and $3.9 million, and amortization expense on the debt issuance costs of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, on the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement
On February 25, 2019, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Paratek Royalty Corporation, or the Subsidiary, entered into the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement with HCRP. Pursuant to the terms of the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein, the Subsidiary borrowed a $32.5 million loan, which was secured by, and will be repaid based upon, royalties from the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. On May 1, 2019, the Company received $27.8 million, net of $0.5 million lender discount, $0.2 million in lender expenses incurred, and $4.0 million that was deposited into an interest reserve account. The Company also paid $1.2 million in other lender fees related to the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company paid $1.0 million to HCRP based upon royalties earned from the Almirall Collaboration Agreement and outstanding interest payments due to HCRP.
Under the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement, the outstanding principal balance will bear interest at an annual rate of 12.0%. Payments of interest under the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement are made quarterly out of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement royalty payments received since the immediately preceding payment date. On each interest payment date, any royalty payments in excess of accrued interest on the loan will be used to repay the principal of the loan until the balance is fully repaid. In addition, the Subsidiary made up-front payments to HCRP of (i) a 1.5% fee and (ii) up to $300,000 for HCRP’s expenses. The Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement matures on May 1, 2029, at which time, if not earlier repaid in full, the outstanding principal amount of the loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, and all other obligations then outstanding, shall be due and payable in cash. The Company has entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement in favor of HCRP, pursuant to which the Subsidiary’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by a pledge of all of the Company’s holdings of the Subsidiary’s capital stock.
The Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement contains certain customary affirmative covenants, including those relating to: use of proceeds; maintenance of books and records; financial reporting and notification; compliance with laws; and protection of Company intellectual property. The Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement also contains certain customary negative covenants, barring the Subsidiary from: certain fundamental transactions; issuing dividends and distributions; incurring additional indebtedness outside of the ordinary course of business; engaging in any business activity other than related to the Almirall Collaboration Agreement; and permitting any additional liens on the collateral provided to HCRP under the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement.
The Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement contains customary defined events of default, upon which any outstanding principal and unpaid interest shall be immediately due and payable. These include: failure to pay any principal or interest when due; any uncured breach of a representation, warranty or covenant; any uncured failure to perform or observe covenants; any uncured cross default under a material contract; any uncured breach of the Company’s representations, warranties or covenants under its Contribution and Servicing Agreement with the Subsidiary; any termination of the Almirall Collaboration Agreement; and certain bankruptcy or insolvency events.

15. Leases
Operating Leases
The Company leases its Boston, Massachusetts and King of Prussia, Pennsylvania office spaces under non-cancelable operating leases expiring in 2021 and 2024, respectively.
The Company entered into the original King of Prussia and Boston leases in January 2015 and April 2015, respectively. The lease terms under the original agreements were for six and four years, respectively. Each agreement had one renewal option for an extended term, which are not included in the measurement of these leases as these options are not reasonably certain to be exercised. The King of Prussia and Boston lease terms under the original agreements began in June 2015 and July 2015, respectively.
The Company executed an amended lease agreement on its Boston office space in July 2016. The amended lease agreement added 4,153 rentable square feet of office space and extended the original lease term by two years. In accordance with the amended lease agreement, the Company paid a security deposit of $0.1 million. Subsequent to the amended lease agreement, the Company records monthly lease expense of approximately $49,000 for the Boston office space.
The Company executed an amended lease agreement on its King of Prussia office space in October 2016. The amended lease agreement is for 19,708 rentable square feet of office space and the Company took control of this office space during the first quarter of 2017. The amended lease agreement contains rent escalation and a partial rent abatement period, which is accounted for as rent expense under the straight-line method.

The total operating liability is presented on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet based on maturity dates. $1.0 million of the total operating liabilities is classified under “other current liabilities” for the portion due within twelve months, and $1.6 million is classified under “long-term lease liability”.
The Company is party to a manufacturing and services agreement for which space within the manufacturing facility will be leased. This lease has not yet commenced as of the reporting date and is not included in the maturity table above.
16. Income Taxes
The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the three or six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using statutory rates. Management of the Company has evaluated the positive and negative evidence bearing upon the realizability of its deferred tax assets, which are comprised principally of net operating loss carryforwards and research and development credits. Under the applicable accounting standards, management has considered the Company’s history of losses and concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not recognize the benefits of federal and state deferred tax assets. Accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established against the Company’s otherwise recognizable net deferred tax assets.

17. Product Revenue
To date, the Company’s only source of product revenue has been from NUZYRA product sales beginning in February 2019 when NUZYRA was launch in the U.S. The following table summarizes balances and activity in each of the product revenue allowance and reserve categories (in thousands):

18. Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is from time to time involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations, proceedings, and threats of litigation relating to intellectual property, commercial arrangements, employment and other matters. While the outcome of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, as of June 30, 2020, the Company was not party to any legal or arbitration proceedings that may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Company’s financial position. No governmental proceedings are pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, contemplated against the Company. The Company is not a party to any material proceedings in which any director, member of executive management or affiliate of the Company is either a party adverse to the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries.
19. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the Company believes that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations upon adoption.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, or ASU 2018-13. This standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, or ASU 2017-04. The amendments in ASU 2017-04 eliminate the current two-step approach used to test goodwill for impairment and require an entity to apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. ASU 2017-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 (upon the first goodwill impairment test performed during that fiscal year). Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. A reporting entity must apply the amendments in ASU 2017-04 using a prospective approach. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. The FASB subsequently issued amendments to ASU 2016-13, which have the same effective date and transition date of January 1, 2023. These standards require that credit losses be reported using an expected losses model rather than the incurred losses model that is currently used, and establishes additional disclosures related to credit risks. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, these standards now require allowances to be recorded instead of reducing the amortized cost of the investment. These standards limit the amount of credit losses to be recognized for available-for-sale debt securities to the amount by which carrying value exceeds fair value and requires the reversal of previously recognized credit losses if fair value increases. Based on the composition of our investment portfolio, accounts receivable and other financial assets, current market conditions and historical credit loss activity, the adoption of these standards is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive loss and related disclosures.

Item 2. |
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All references to “Paratek,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q mean Paratek Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our subsidiaries.
This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We make such forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements are identified by words such as “believe,” “will,” “may,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “predict,” “could,” “potential,” “potentially” or the negative of these terms or similar expressions. You should read these statements carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of future results of operations or financial condition, or state other “forward- looking” information. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and financial performance and the assumptions that underlie these statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2020, or the 2019 Form 10-K, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as filed with the SEC on May 11, 2020, or the Q1 2020 Form 10-Q, and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to our management. These statements, like all statements in this report, speak only as of their date, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise these statements in light of future developments. We caution investors that our business and financial performance are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties.
Company Overview
We are a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel life-saving therapies for life-threatening diseases or other public health threats for civilian, government and military use. Our United States, or U.S., Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, approved commercial product, NUZYRA® (omadacycline) is a once-daily oral and intravenous antibiotic for the treatment of adult patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, or CABP, and acute skin and skin structure infections, or ABSSSI, caused by susceptible pathogens. SEYSARA® (sarecycline) is an FDA-approved product with respect to which we have exclusively licensed in the U.S. and the People’s Republic of China, Hong Kong and Macau, or the greater China region, certain rights to Almirall, LLC, or Almirall. SEYSARA is currently being marketed by Almirall in the U.S. as a once-daily oral therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris. With respect to our technology as it relates to sarecycline, we retain development and commercialization rights in all countries other than the U.S. and the greater China region, and in February 2020, we exclusively licensed from Almirall certain technology owned or in-licensed by Almirall or its affiliates that is necessary or useful to develop or commercialize sarecycline outside of the U.S. Almirall plans to develop sarecycline for acne in China, with a submission to the China National Medical Products Administration, or NMPA, expected in 2023.
To date, we have devoted a substantial amount of our resources to research and development efforts, including conducting clinical trials for omadacycline, protecting our intellectual property and providing selling, general and administrative support for these operations. We began generating revenue from product sales in February 2019; as such, we have historically financed our operations primarily through sales of our common stock, debt financings, strategic collaborations, and grant funding.
We have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1996. Our accumulated deficit at June 30, 2020 was $761.9 million and our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $50.7 million. A substantial amount of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and selling, general and administrative costs associated with our operations. The net losses and negative operating cash flows incurred to date, together with expected future losses, have had, and likely will continue to have, an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity (deficit) and working capital. The amount of future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate offsetting revenue, if any. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the next several years.
While our contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, herein referred to as the BARDA contract, is expected to significantly strengthen our cash position, unless we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from our commercial products, we may need to raise additional capital in order to support and accelerate the commercialization of omadacycline and to advance the development of our other indications for omadacycline, such as nontuberculous mycobacteria, or NTM, or other product candidates. If we cannot generate a sufficient amount of product or royalty revenue to finance our cash requirements, we expect to finance our future cash needs primarily through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt or other structured financings, strategic collaborations and grant funding. We may be unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, which would force us to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our development programs or commercialization efforts. We will need to generate significant revenue to achieve and sustain profitability, and we may never be able to do so.

Business Update Regarding COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world and is continuing to affect our employees, patients, communities and business operations, as well as the U.S. economy and financial markets. The length of time and full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact and the economic impact on local, regional, national and international markets.
To date, we and our partners have been able to continue to supply our products to our patients worldwide and currently do not anticipate any interruptions in supply for the foreseeable future. However, we continue to assess the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, including our sales, expenses, supply chain and clinical trials.
Our office-based employees have been working from home since early March 2020. We suspended in-person interactions by our customer-facing personnel in healthcare settings during the majority of the second quarter of 2020. During this period of suspended in-person interactions, we engaged with our customers remotely in an effort to continue to support and educate healthcare professionals. In late June 2020, our customer-facing personnel began re-engaging with our customers in a manner consistent with guidance issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other state and local mandates.
Our third-party contract manufacturing partners continue to operate their manufacturing facilities at or near normal levels. While we currently do not anticipate any interruptions in our supply chain, it is possible that the COVID-19 pandemic and response efforts may have an impact in the future on our and/or our third-party suppliers and contract manufacturing partners' ability to manufacture our products or the products of our partners.
For additional information on the various risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, refer to Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk and Item 1A. Risk Factors included in this report.
Recent Financing Activities
On July 2, 2019, we entered into an At the Market Sales Agreement, or 2019 Sales Agreement, with Jefferies LLC, or Jefferies, and BTIG, LLC, or BTIG, under which we may offer and sell our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies and BTIG as our sales agents. Sales of our common stock through Jefferies and BTIG, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on the Nasdaq Global Market or any other existing trading market for its common stock. Jefferies and BTIG will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell our common stock from time to time, based upon our instructions (including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions we may impose). We will pay Jefferies and BTIG, as applicable, a commission of 3% of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through Jefferies and BTIG under the 2019 Sales Agreement. We have also provided Jefferies and BTIG with customary indemnification rights. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 4,937,278 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement for $20.8 million in proceeds, after deducting commissions of $0.6 million. As of July 31, 2020, $1.1 million remains available for sale under the 2019 Sales Agreement.
Financial Operations Overview
Product Revenue, Net
Product revenue, net, is recognized when earned on sales of NUZYRA, which was approved by the FDA in October 2018 and launched in the U.S. in February 2019. NUZYRA is sold principally to a limited number of specialty distributors and specialty pharmacy providers in the U.S. These customers subsequently resell our product to health care providers or dispense the product to patients. In addition to distribution agreements with customers, we enter into arrangements with health care providers and payers that provide for government mandated and/or privately negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our product. Product revenue is recognized net of reserves for all variable consideration, including rebates, chargebacks, discounts and product returns.
Government Contract Service Revenue
Government contract service revenue is recognized when earned under our BARDA contract and represents the reimbursement by BARDA of costs incurred by us for work performed to develop NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax plus a small fixed administrative fee. Refer to Note 8, Government Contract Revenue to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the BARDA contract and related revenue recognition.
30
Government Contract Grant Revenue
Government contract grant revenue is recognized when earned under our BARDA contract and represents the reimbursement by BARDA of costs incurred by us for FDA post-marketing requirements, or PMRs, associated with the approval of NUZYRA, including CABP and pediatric studies as well as a five-year post-marketing bacterial surveillance study. Refer to Note 8, Government Contract Revenue to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the BARDA contract and related revenue recognition.
Collaboration and Royalty Revenue
Collaboration and royalty revenue represents revenue earned under our collaboration and license agreements. Refer to Note 9, License and Collaboration Agreements to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the collaboration agreements and the related revenue recognition.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue represents the cost of the product itself, labor and overhead, and any reserve for excess or obsolete inventory, as well as stability studies, inventory scrap and royalty expense.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses consisted primarily of costs directly incurred by us for the development of our product candidates, which include:
|
• |
expenses incurred under agreements with clinical research organizations, or CROs, and investigative sites that conduct our clinical trials; |
|
• |
the cost of acquiring and manufacturing preclinical and clinical study materials and developing manufacturing processes; |
|
• |
direct employee-related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and stock-based compensation expense of our research and development personnel; |
|
• |
allocated facilities, depreciation, and other expenses, which include rent and maintenance of facilities, insurance and other supplies; and |
|
• |
costs associated with preclinical activities and regulatory compliance. |
Research and development expenses also include gross reimbursable costs incurred related to research and development services performed for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, services performed for U.S. manufacturing onshoring and security requirements, and services performed for FDA PMR requirements under the BARDA contract.
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Costs for certain development activities are recognized based on an evaluation of the progress to completion of specific tasks using information and data provided to us by our vendors and our clinical sites.
We cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of the current or future clinical trials of our product candidates or if, when, or to what extent we will generate revenues from the commercialization and sale of any of our products or product candidates for which we or any partner obtain regulatory approval, such as NUZYRA and SEYSARA. Aside from the FDA approval of NUZYRA and SEYSARA in the U.S., we or our partners may never succeed in achieving regulatory approval for any of our other product candidates. The duration, costs and timing of clinical trials and development of our product candidates depend on a variety of factors, including:
|
• |
the scope, rate of progress, and expense of our ongoing, as well as any additional, clinical trials and other research and development activities; |
|
• |
future clinical trial results; |
|
• |
potential changes in government regulation; and |
|
• |
the timing and receipt of any regulatory approvals. |
31
A change in the outcome of any of these variables with respect to the development of a product candidate could mean a significant change in the costs and timing associated with the development of that therapeutic candidate. For example, if the FDA, or another regulatory authority, were to require us to conduct clinical trials beyond those that we currently anticipate will be required for the completion of the clinical development of product candidates, or if we experience significant delays in the enrollment in any clinical trials, we could be required to expend significant additional financial resources and time on the completion of clinical development.
We manage certain activities, such as clinical trial operations, manufacture of clinical trial material, and preclinical animal toxicology studies, through third-party contract organizations. The only costs we track by each product candidate are external costs such as services provided to us by CROs, manufacturing of preclinical and clinical drug product, and other outsourced research and development expenses. We do not assign or allocate to individual development programs internal costs such as salaries and benefits, facilities costs, lab supplies and the costs of preclinical research and studies. Our research and development expenses for omadacycline and other projects during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

Product Revenue, Net
Net product revenue recognized on sales of NUZYRA in the U.S. was $8.1 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in net product revenue is primarily the result of an increase in sales volume due to higher customer demand.
Government Contract Service Revenue
Government contract service revenue earned under our BARDA contract was $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. No such government contract service revenue was earned during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as the BARDA contract was executed in December 2019.
Government Contract Grant Revenue
Government contract grant revenue earned under our BARDA contract was $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020. No such government contract grant revenue was earned during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as the BARDA contract was executed in December 2019.
Collaboration and Royalty Revenue
Collaboration and royalty revenue was $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Royalty revenue recognized for sales of SEYSARA in the U.S. was estimated using third party data and an approximation of discounts and allowances to calculate net product sales, to which the Company then applied the applicable royalty percentage specified in the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenue will be adjusted in the period in which they become known, which is expected to be the following quarter.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue was $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $1.6 million increase is primarily the result of an increase in NUZYRA product sales, NUZYRA sample program shipments, royalties owed on net sales of NUZYRA, and certain period costs. Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, certain of the costs of NUZYRA units recognized as revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were expensed prior to FDA approval in October 2018, and therefore are not included in cost of product revenue during the period. We expect cost of product revenue to increase in relation to net product revenues as we deplete these inventories.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses were $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $10.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $6.1 million decrease is primarily the result of lower personnel-related costs, lower clinical study costs associated with our Phase 2 UTI program completed in 2019 and other operational efficiencies.
As stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic begin to lift, we anticipate an increase in research and development expenses in future periods as we continue development of NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, initiate work on our FDA post-marketing commitments, and begin onshoring of our manufacturing process, the majority of which is reimbursable under the BARDA contract. We will also incur additional spend as we continue exploring pathways for NTM indications.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $21.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $20.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The modest increase is primarily the result of personnel-related costs in support of the commercialization of NUZYRA, additional contract sales force costs, and higher trade and distribution fees, partially offset by lower sales and marketing costs due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions that prohibited in-person training events and sales meetings from taking place during the first half of 2020.
33
We anticipate selling, general and administrative expenses to be lower in future periods while stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic remain imposed. Once those restrictions begin to lift, we anticipate an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in support of our commercial activities related to NUZYRA as well as the continued costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include costs related to the hiring of additional personnel, executing marketing and promotional programs, and engaging consultants, legal and other professional fees, and other expenses.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 represents interest incurred on the Notes of $2.2 million, the Hercules Loan Agreement of $1.7 million and the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement of $1.0 million. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 represents interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represents interest incurred on the Notes of $2.2 million, the Hercules Loan Agreement of $1.7 million and the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement of $0.7 million, partially offset by the net accretion of our marketable securities of $0.5 million. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represents interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities.

Product Revenue, Net
Net product revenue recognized on sales of NUZYRA in the U.S. was $15.4 million and $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in net product revenue is primarily the result of an increase in sales volume due to higher customer demand.
Government Contract Service Revenue
Government contract service revenue earned under our BARDA contract was $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No such government contract service revenue was earned during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as the BARDA contract was executed in December 2019.
Government Contract Grant Revenue
Government contract grant revenue earned under our BARDA contract was $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020. No such government contract grant revenue was earned during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as the BARDA contract was executed in December 2019.
34
Collaboration and Royalty Revenue
Collaboration and royalty revenue was $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. Royalty revenue recognized for sales of SEYSARA in the U.S. was estimated using third party data and an approximation of discounts and allowances to calculate net product sales, to which the Company then applied the applicable royalty percentage specified in the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. Differences between actual and estimated royalty revenue will be adjusted in the period in which they become known, which is expected to be the following quarter.
Cost of Product Revenue
Cost of product revenue was $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $2.9 million increase is primarily the result of an increase in NUZYRA product sales, NUZYRA sample program shipments, royalties owed on net sales of NUZYRA, and certain period costs. Based on our policy to expense costs associated with the manufacture of our products prior to regulatory approval, certain of the costs of NUZYRA units recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were expensed prior to FDA approval in October 2018, and therefore are not included in cost of product revenue during the period. We expect cost of product revenue to increase in relation to net product revenues as we deplete these inventories.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expenses were $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $11.3 million decrease is primarily the result of lower personnel-related costs, lower clinical study costs associated with our Phase 2 UTI program completed in 2019 and other operational efficiencies.
As stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic begin to lift, we anticipate an increase in research and development expenses in future periods as we continue development of NUZYRA for the treatment of pulmonary anthrax, initiate work on our FDA post-marketing commitments, and begin onshoring of our manufacturing process, the majority of which is reimbursable under the BARDA contract. We will also incur additional spend as we continue exploring pathways for NTM indications.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $44.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $0.4 million increase is primarily the result of personnel-related costs in support of the commercialization of NUZYRA, additional contract sales force costs, and higher trade and distribution fees, partially offset by lower sales and marketing costs due to COVID-19-related travel restrictions that prohibited in-person training events and sales meetings from taking place during the first half of 2020.
We anticipate selling, general and administrative expenses to be lower in future periods while stay-at-home orders and travel restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic remain imposed. Once those restrictions begin to lift, we anticipate an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in support of our commercial activities related to NUZYRA as well as the continued costs of operating as a public company. These increases will likely include costs related to the hiring of additional personnel, executing marketing and promotional programs, and engaging consultants, legal and other professional fees, and other expenses.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 represents interest incurred on the Notes of $4.4 million, the Hercules Loan Agreement of $3.4 million and the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement of $2.0 million. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 represents interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities.
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represents interest incurred on the Notes of $4.4 million, the Hercules Loan Agreement of $3.4 million and the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement of $0.7 million, partially offset by the net accretion of our marketable securities of $1.2 million. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 represents interest earned on our money market funds and marketable securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
On July 2, 2019, we entered into an At the Market Sales Agreement with Jefferies and BTIG, under which we may offer and sell our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Jefferies and BTIG as our sales agents. Sales of our common stock through Jefferies and BTIG, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we sold 4,937,278 shares of our common stock pursuant to the 2019 Sales Agreement for $20.8 million in proceeds, after deducting commissions of $0.6 million. As of July 31, 2020, $1.1 million remains available for sale under the 2019 Sales Agreement.
35
On February 25, 2019, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Paratek Royalty Corporation, entered into a royalty-backed loan agreement, or the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement, with Healthcare Royalty Partners III, L.P. Pursuant to the terms of the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement, upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein, we borrowed a $32.5 million loan, which was secured by, and will be repaid based upon, royalties from the Almirall Collaboration Agreement. On May 1, 2019, we received $27.8 million, net of $0.5 million lender discount, $0.2 million in lender expenses incurred, and $4.0 million that was deposited into an interest reserve account. We also paid $1.2 million in other lender fees related to the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement.
On April 18, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement, or the Purchase Agreement, with several initial purchasers, or the Initial Purchasers for whom Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Leerink Partners LLC acted as representatives, relating to the sale of $135.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024, or the Notes. We also granted the Initial Purchasers an option to purchase up to an additional $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes, which was exercised in full on April 20, 2018. In addition, J. Wood Capital Advisors LLC, our financial advisor, purchased $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes in a separate, concurrent private placement on the same terms as other investors. After deducting costs incurred of $6.0 million, we received proceeds from the sale of the Notes of $159.0 million in April 2018.
On December 1, 2017, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, which was declared effective on December 8, 2017, to sell certain of our securities in an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million. As of July 31, 2020, $201.1 million remains available on this shelf registration statement, with $1.1 million reserved for potential sales under the 2019 Sales Agreement.
On May 11, 2020, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC, as amended on June 19, 2020 and declared effective on July 9, 2020, to sell certain of our securities in an aggregate amount of up to $250.0 million.
We have used and we intend to continue to use the net proceeds from the above offerings of our common stock and the Notes, as well as from the Hercules Loan Agreement and the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement, together with our existing capital resources and future NUZYRA product sales, government contract revenue and royalty revenue, to fund our ongoing company operations, including clinical studies of omadacycline, NUZYRA commercial operations, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. Refer to Note 14, Debt, for further details on the Notes, the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement and the Hercules Loan Agreement.
As of June 30, 2020, we had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $186.8 million.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $50.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $70.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The change in net cash used in operating activities primarily consists of our net losses adjusted for non-cash items and changes in components of operating assets and liabilities as follows:
|
- |
for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a net loss of $50.7 million was adjusted for non-cash items including stock-based compensation expense of $5.5 million and non-cash interest expense of $2.9 million, and a net decrease of $8.6 million due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. The significant items in the change in operating assets and liabilities include an increase in inventories of $5.8 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.2 million. |
|
- |
for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a net loss of $68.8 million was adjusted for non-cash items including $6.9 million in stock-based compensation expense and $1.6 million of non-cash interest expense, offset by $0.9 million in net depreciation, amortization and accretion, and a net decrease of $9.2 million due to changes in operating assets and liability. The significant items in the change in operations assets and liabilities include an increase in accounts receivable and other current assets of $3.4 million, an increase in inventories of $3.0 million, an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $2.5 million and a decrease in long-term lease liability of $1.2 million. |

Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 consists of $88.0 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, offset by $19.6 million of investments in marketable securities (U.S. treasury securities) and $0.3 million in purchases of fixed assets.
Net cash provided by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consists of $146.5 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities, offset by $22.3 million of investments in marketable securities (U.S. treasury securities).
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2020 consists of $20.8 million in net proceeds raised through the sale of shares of our common stock through the 2019 Sales Agreement and $0.3 million in net proceeds raised through the 2018 ESPP.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 consists of $31.8 million in net proceeds received through the execution of the Royalty-Backed Loan Agreement and $0.3 million in net proceeds raised through the 2018 ESPP.
Future Funding Requirements
We began generating revenue from product sales when we launched NUZYRA in the U.S. in February 2019 and from royalties on sales of SEYSARA in the U.S. when Almirall launched the product in January 2019. Our future funding requirements will depend on our ability to generate revenue from sales of NUZYRA, and our partner, Almirall’s, ability to generate revenue from sales of SEYSARA, with respect to which we are entitled to tiered royalties in the U.S. and flat royalties in the greater China region. We do not expect to generate any other revenue unless and until our omadacycline greater China region partner, Zai, and our SEYSARA greater China region partner, Almirall, obtains regulatory approval of and commercializes its respective product in the greater China region. Zai submitted the first regulatory approval application for a licensed product in the People’s Republic of China in December 2019, which was accepted by the China NMPA in February 2020. We will require substantial additional funding to meet FDA PMRs for NUZYRA, which we expect to continue to be funded through the BARDA contract. Additional resources will also be needed to support and accelerate the commercialization of NUZYRA, fund the development of omadacycline in other indications, including NTM, and to advance the development of potential other product candidates, and such funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. BARDA’s procurement of NUZYRA for the Strategic National Stockpile, or SNS, will also be an important component to satisfying future funding requirements. While it is difficult to predict with certainty, we currently anticipate the initial NUZYRA procurement by BARDA for the SNS before the end of the year, contingent upon completion of the pre-EUA review by FDA.
We expect to continue to incur significant expenditures and operating losses for the next several years as we:
|
• |
conduct additional clinical trials of omadacycline; |
|
• |
seek regulatory approvals for additional indications for omadacycline, such as omadacycline for the treatment of NTM; |
|
• |
continue to augment our sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure to commercialize NUZYRA and increase our manufacturing capacity and capabilities to satisfy demand; |
|
• |
add personnel to support our planned commercialization efforts |
|
• |
build product inventory; and |
|
• |
service and pay down our debt. |
Based upon our current operating plan, which includes estimated NUZYRA product sales and expense reimbursement of activities related to the BARDA contract, we anticipate that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $186.8 million as of June 30, 2020, will extend our cash runway through the end of 2023 with a pathway to cash flow break even. This anticipated pathway assumes we will be able to fund all company operating expenses, anticipated capital expenditures, and debt service, including repayment in full of the Hercules Loan Agreement.
37
We have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development and commercialization of our pharmaceutical products, especially given the constraints on in-person promotion of NUZYRA and reduced access to prescribers due to restrictions in access to hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the unknown extent to which we will maintain existing or enter into new collaborations with third parties to participate in the development and commercialization of our product and product candidates, we are unable to estimate with certainty the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenditures that we will require to fund our continuing operations, including for our clinical development programs and commercialization efforts for NUZYRA. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:
|
• |
the progress of clinical development of omadacycline in additional indications, including NTM; |
|
• |
the costs and timing of commercialization activities for NUZYRA; |
|
• |
product revenue received from commercial sales of NUZYRA; |
|
• |
royalty revenue received from commercial sales of SEYSARA by Almirall; |
|
• |
timing and amount of actual reimbursements and NUZYRA purchases under the BARDA contract; |
|
• |
the ability of Zai to develop, manufacture and commercialize omadacycline in the Zai territory; |
|
• |
the number and characteristics of other product candidates that we may pursue; |
|
• |
the scope, progress, timing, cost and results of research, preclinical development and clinical trials; |
|
• |
the costs, timing and outcome of seeking, obtaining, maintaining and expanding FDA and non-U.S. regulatory approvals; |
|
• |
the costs associated with manufacturing and establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
|
• |
the number and characteristics of other product candidates that we may pursue; |
|
• |
our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make in connection with the licensing, filing, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights; |
|
• |
our need and ability to hire additional management, scientific, commercial, operations and medical personnel; |
|
• |
the effect of competing products that may limit market penetration of our products; |
|
• |
our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems; |
|
• |
resources required to develop and implement policies and processes to promote ongoing compliance with applicable healthcare laws and regulations; |
|
• |
costs required to ensure that our and our partners’ business arrangements with third parties comply with applicable healthcare laws and regulations; |
|
• |
the economic and other terms, timing and success of our existing collaboration and licensing arrangements and any collaboration, licensing or other arrangements into which we may enter in the future, including the timing of receipt of any milestone or royalty payments under such arrangements; and |
|
• |
the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy generally and on our business and operations specifically, including our sales of NUZYRA, sales by our collaboration partners with respect to which we are entitled to royalties, our third party manufacturers and supply chain, our research and development efforts, our clinical trials and our employees. |
Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product and royalty revenue to finance our cash requirements, if ever, we expect to finance our future cash needs primarily through a combination of public or private equity offerings, debt or other structured financings, strategic collaborations and grant funding. We do not have any committed external sources of funds other than the rights under the BARDA contract and the rights to contingent milestone payments and/or royalties under the Almirall Collaboration Agreement, the Almirall China License, the Tetraphase License Agreement and the Zai Collaboration Agreement, which are terminable by Almirall, Tetraphase and Zai, respectively, upon prior written notice. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect stockholders’ rights. Future debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Additionally, future equity or debt financing may be difficult to obtain on favorable terms, if at all, in light of increased volatility within the global financial markets as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. If we raise additional funds through marketing and distribution arrangements or other collaborations, strategic alliances or licensing arrangements with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, NUZYRA, sarecycline, future revenue streams, research programs or product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds through equity or debt financings when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market NUZYRA, sarecycline or our other product candidates that we may otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to, among other items, accounts receivable and related reserves, inventory and related reserves, goodwill, accrued sales allowances, net product revenue, government contract service revenue, government contract grant revenue, collaboration and royalty revenue, leases, stock-based compensation arrangements, manufacturing and clinical accruals, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and valuation allowances on deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Refer to Note 19, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019 we did not engage in any off-balance sheet financing activities, including the use of structured finance, special purpose entities or variable interest entities.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There have been no material changes in our contractual obligations and commitments as of June 30, 2020, as compared to those disclosed in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations— Contractual Obligations and Commitments” in our 2019 Form 10-K.
Item 3. |
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks |
Our cash, cash equivalents and investments balance as of June 30, 2020 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, and U.S. treasury securities. The goals of our investment policy are preservation of capital, fulfillment of liquidity needs and fiduciary control of cash and investments. We also seek to maximize income from our investments without assuming significant risk. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of interest rates, including interest rate changes resulting from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly because our investments are in short-term marketable securities. Due to the short-term duration of our investment portfolio and the low-risk profile of our investments, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. We have the ability and intention to hold our investments, although they are available for immediate sale, until maturity and, therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.
We engage CROs and contract manufacturers on a global scale. We may be subject to fluctuations in foreign currency rates in connection with certain of these agreements. We currently do not hedge any such foreign currency exchange rate risk. Transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise and were less than 2.4% of total liabilities as of June 30, 2020.

Controls and Procedures |
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of June 30, 2020, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of June 30, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three months ended June 30, 2020, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II
Item 1. |
Legal Proceedings |
Information in response to this Item is incorporated herein by reference from Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 1A. |
Risk Factors |
There have been no material changes from the risk factors set forth in our 2019 Form 10-K and our Q1 2020 Form 10-Q other than as set forth below.
A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, such as COVID-19, has and may in the future adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs, our business may be adversely affected. Such events may result in a period of business and manufacturing disruption or in an inability to scale our production to meet demand in a cost-effective manner or at all, any of which could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations. For example, U.S residents and businesses in major urban centers have been hit especially hard by the global spread of COVID-19, which has resulted in disruptions to our business and in the future may result in additional disruptions. Examples of both include the following:
|
• |
Health risks. The health and wellbeing of our employees, including our sales representatives and clinical educators who visit our hospital customers, as well as employees of our suppliers, is at risk– if a critical threshold of our personnel, or the personnel of our suppliers, were to be diagnosed with COVID-19, placed in quarantine due to potential exposure to COVID-19, or need to care for family members diagnosed with COVID-19, it may result in significant business disruption. |
|
• |
Limitations on suppliers. Some of our suppliers have been, and may in the future be, limited, and at times, precluded, from delivering to us products, materials, and components in the quantities needed on a timely basis, for a variety of reasons, including an evolving understanding of how international, federal, and/or state authorities define “essential business”, their inability to remain open due to lost business in other parts of their portfolios, or because of international, federal, and/or state prioritization orders requiring our suppliers to produce for governmental entities and/or other manufacturers before they produce for us. We presently maintain a supply chain structure that has allowed us to avoid material disruptions by the current COVID-19 outbreak; however, the future impact of this outbreak on our supply chain is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Our demand has increased at the same time as our supply chain has begun to face limitations, which has, and may in the future, result in a shortage of supply, increased costs of products, materials, and components and delays in the timely delivery thereof. The increased demand we are placing on our suppliers at the same time their sub-suppliers face limitations may in the future lead to our suppliers to seek to pass through expenses or otherwise increase pricing for products, materials, and components that we require to meet our production needs. If COVID-19 affects the producers of certain materials required by us for the production of NUZYRA, or by Almirall for the production of SEYSARA, our business and financial performance could be adversely affected. |
|
• |
Requirements for alternative sourcing. We have had to develop alternate sources of supply for certain products, materials, and components as a result of the limitations, or complete inability, of some of some of our suppliers to meet our production needs. Although we have successfully been able to develop and validate these alternate sources of supply to date, doing so is time consuming, difficult, and costly, and if we need to develop and validate additional alternate sources of supply in the future for any reason, we may not be able to do so in a timeframe acceptable to meet customer demand. |
|
• |
Importation limitations. Federal authorities may restrict our ability to import products into the U.S., which could negatively impact our business, operations, and relationships with our international distributors and customers in a significant and long-term way that we may not be able to rebuild for an extended period of time, or at all. |
|
• |
Shipping delays. While we have priority shipping status with our carriers, we have experienced shipping delays throughout the U.S. and internationally during the COVID-19 outbreak, and as a result, there have been and may continue to be delays in our ability to ship our product to customers and distributors in a timely manner, potentially resulting in returned product, and we have and may continue to face extraordinary freight fees, including air freight fees and expedition fees for all modes of transportation. |
|
• |
Travel and access restrictions. Travel restrictions have impeded our ability to qualify and retain new suppliers or audit our existing suppliers, which might have a negative impact on our quality management system and our product quality in the future. Travel restrictions and hospital limitations or denials of access for non-patients have impacted the ability of our direct sales team and clinical educators in the U.S. to access physicians and clinicians in order to educate them about NUZYRA. |
41
|
• |
Work from home limitations. We have asked all office-based employees to work from home, which could impact our ability to effectively plan, execute, communicate and maintain our corporate culture. The increase in working remotely could increase our cyber security risk, create data accessibility concerns, and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions. |
|
• |
Competition. Our competitors may in the future secure significant purchase agreements from the federal government or various states before we are able to do so, or may be selected instead of us, precluding us from those commercial opportunities. |
|
• |
Debt covenants. A significant disruption to our business resulting in an inability to build and ship product to customers for an extended period of time may impair our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants. |
|
• |
Capital markets volatility. Equity and debt markets have experienced significant volatility since the spread of COVID-19 into the U.S. Should significant volatility continue or they experience declines due to the economic impact of COVID-19, we may not be able to raise capital at a reasonable valuation or at all. |
|
• |
Clinical studies. We may be required to delay future clinical studies as a direct or indirect result of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
• |
FDA review and BARDA procurement. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, there may be interruptions or delays in the operations of the FDA or other health authorities, which could result in delays of reviews and approvals of our product candidates. For example, the timing of the FDA’s review of the pre-emergency use authorization, or EUA, for NUZYRA that is required for BARDA to proceed with its initial NUZYRA procurement for the SNS under our BARDA contract has taken longer than we had initially anticipated. We submitted our EUA application to the FDA in February 2020 but did not receive any questions from the FDA as part of its initial review process until the end of June 2020. We are working to gather and provide data in response to the FDA’s single initial question and while it is difficult to predict how long the FDA will take to complete its final review, we believe the FDA understands the importance of an efficient and timely review to enable BARDA to proceed with its initial NUZYRA procurement by the end of this year. However, the COVID-19 pandemic, additional questions from the FDA or other adverse events may directly or indirectly result in further delays. |
Each of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. The full extent to which COVID-19 impacts our business and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information about COVID-19 and the actions to treat or contain COVID-19 or to otherwise limit its impact, among others.
Our amended and restated by-laws designates specific courts as the exclusive forum for certain litigation that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.
Our amended and restated bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors or officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. These choice of forum provisions may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our amended and restated bylaws inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to this provision of our amended and restated bylaws. However, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. In addition, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision, and our stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Item 5. |
Other Information |
On August 5, 2020, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the First Amendment. Concurrently with the closing of the First Amendment, the Company repaid a Term Loan Tranche of $10.0 million and paid the Lenders the existing end of term charges equal to $2.5 million. Following the closing of the First Amendment, $60.0 million of Term Loan Tranches remained outstanding and $30.0 million of additional Term Loan Tranches remained available to the Company, subject to approval by Hercules, in its sole discretion, whether to provide such tranches. The First Amendment provided for an additional end of term charge equal to 1.95% of the issued principal balance of the Term Loan Tranches payable on August 1, 2022 or upon prepayment.
The First Amendment extended the date on which the Company is required to begin making monthly principal installments on the outstanding Term Loan Tranches from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022 (which can be extended to July 1, 2022 or January 1, 2023, upon certain events set forth in the First Amendment), and extended the scheduled maturity of the Term Loan Tranches from August 1, 2022 to September 1, 2022 (which can be extended to March 1, 2023 or September 1, 2023, upon certain events set forth in the First Amendment).
The First Amendment increased the cash interest rate with respect to the Term Loan Tranches to a floating per annum rate equal to the greater of (i) 8.85% or (ii) the prime rate as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus 5.35%, and provided for the payment of additional “paid-in-kind” interest by the Company under the First Amendment at a fixed per annum rate equal to 1.55%.
In connection with the First Amendment, on August 5, 2020, the Company issued an additional warrant to Hercules Capital, Inc. that is exercisable for a minimum of up to 407,239 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $4.42 per share. The First Amendment Warrant may be exercised on a cashless basis. The First Amendment Warrant is exercisable for a term beginning on the date of issuance and ending on the earlier to occur of seven years from the date of issuance or the consummation of certain events of the Company as set forth in the First Amendment Warrant.
The descriptions of the First Amendment and the First Amendment Warrant contained herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the First Amendment and the First Amendment Warrant attached hereto as Exhibits 4.9 and 10.1, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference.

SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.
Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Warrant (the Warrant Term) and the right to purchase Common Stock as granted herein shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending upon the earlier to occur of (A) seven (7) years from the Effective Date or (B) the consummation of a Public Acquisition, with the Warrant expiring and terminating in its entirety upon the consummation of either of the foregoing events (the Termination Date).
SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.
(a) Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the purchase rights set forth in this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, during the Warrant Term, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Notice of Exercise), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three (3) business days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate or book entry shares representing the number of shares of Common Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the Acknowledgment of Exercise) indicating the number of shares which remain subject to future purchases under this Warrant, if any.
The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholders election either (i) by cash or check, or (ii) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Common Stock to be exercised under this Warrant and, if applicable, an amended Warrant representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder, as determined below (Net Issuance). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Common Stock in accordance with the following formula:
X = Y(A-B) | ||||
A | ||||
Where: | ||||
X | ||||
= | the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder. | |||
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant. |
||||
A = the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock at the time of issuance of such shares of Common Stock. |
||||
B | ||||
= | the Exercise Price. |
For purposes of the above calculation, the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock shall mean:
(i) if the Common Stock is traded on any exchange operated by the NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC or any other national securities exchange, the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the volume-weighted average of the closing prices over the thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending two (2) trading days before the day the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock is being determined; or
(ii) if at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any securities exchange, the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock shall be the highest price per share which the Company could obtain from a willing buyer (not a current employee or director) for shares of Common Stock sold by the Company (based upon the valuation by the Board of Directors of all shares of Common Stock), from authorized but unissued shares, as determined in good faith by its Board of Directors, unless this Warrant is being exercised in connection with a Merger Event, in which case the fair market value of one (1) share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the per share value received by the holders of the Common Stock on a Common Stock equivalent basis pursuant to such Merger Event.
Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance and surrender of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly issue an agreement
2.
substantially in the form of the Warrant representing the remaining number of shares purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.
(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent that the Warrantholder has not exercised its purchase rights under this Warrant to all Common Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before the expiration of the Warrant Term. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Common Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Common Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.
(c) Legend. Each certificate or book entry shares for the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall bear the restrictive legend set forth on the first page of this Warrant. Such legend shall be removed and the Company shall, or shall instruct its transfer agent to, issue a certificate or book entry shares without such legend or any other legend to the holder of such shares (i) if such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act covering the resale of such shares by the holder thereof, (ii) if such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, (iii) if, upon advice of counsel to the Company, such shares are eligible for resale without any restrictions under Rule 144 under the Act, or (iv) upon the request of such holder if such request is accompanied (at such holders expense) by a written opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration is not required under the Act or any applicable state securities laws for the resale of the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant. The removal of such restrictive legend from any certificates or book entry shares representing the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant is predicated upon the Companys reliance that the holder of such shares would sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of such shares pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if such shares are sold pursuant to a registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein.
SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.
During the Warrant Term, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Common Stock as provided for herein.
SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.
This Warrant does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of this Warrant.
SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.
The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Warrant. Warrantholders initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth in Section 12(g). Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.
SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.
The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:
(a) Merger Event. If at any time there shall be a Merger Event that is not a Public Acquisition, then, as a part of such Merger Event, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind, amount and value of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property of the successor, surviving or purchasing corporation resulting from, or participating in, such Merger Event that would have been issuable if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Companys Board of Directors) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after such Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Warrant (including adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Merger Event other than a Public Acquisition, upon the closing thereof, the successor, surviving or purchasing entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events. In connection with a Merger Event and upon Warrantholders written election to the Company, the Company shall cause this Warrant to be exchanged for the consideration that Warrantholder would have received if Warrantholder chose to exercise its right to have shares issued pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Warrant prior to the Merger Event without actually exercising such right, acquiring such shares and exchanging such shares for such consideration.
(b) Reclassification of Shares. Except as set forth in Section 8(a), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this
3.
Warrant exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Warrant shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, subdivision or other change.
(c) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Common Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased, and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased.
(d) Stock Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired shall:
(i) pay a dividend with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or
(ii) make any other distribution with respect to the Common Stock, except any distribution specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such distribution as though it were the holder of the Common Stock as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such distribution.
(e) Antidilution Rights. To the extent that any antidilution rights applicable to the Common Stock purchasable hereunder may be set forth in the Charter, the Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with a copy of any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter that impairs or reduces such antidilution rights; provided, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall impair or reduce the antidilution rights, if any, set forth in the Charter with respect to the Common Stock unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights of Warrantholder with respect to the Common Stock issuable hereunder generally in the same manner as it affects all other holders of Common Stock. The Company shall, within ten (10) business days of the end of each fiscal quarter following the Effective Date, provide Warrantholder with written notice of any issuance of its stock or other equity security during such fiscal quarter that triggered an antidilution adjustment under the antidilution rights applicable to the Common Stock purchasable hereunder, if any, as may be set forth in the Charter, which notice shall include (a) the price at which such stock or security was sold, (b) the number of shares issued, and (c) such other information as reasonably necessary for Warrantholder to verify that such antidilution adjustment occurred and the amount of any such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no duplicate antidilution adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e), the forgoing subsection (d) and the Charter.
(f) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its Common Stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities (assuming Lender consents to a dividend involving cash, property or other securities under the Loan Agreement, if the consent of Lender is then required by the terms of the Loan Agreement); (ii) the Company shall offer for subscription pro rata to the holders of Common Stock any additional shares of stock of any class or other rights; (iii) there shall be any Merger Event; (iv) the Company shall sell, lease, license or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets; or (v) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder: (A) at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend, distribution, subscription rights (specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, sale, lease, license or other transfer of all or substantially all assets, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; and (B) in the case of any such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least ten (10) business days prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding up).
Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, or by reputable overnight courier with all charges prepaid, addressed to the Warrantholder at the address for Warrantholder set forth in the registry referred to in Section 7.
(g) Timely Notice. Failure to timely provide such notice required by subsection (f) above shall entitle Warrantholder to retain the benefit of the applicable notice period notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any insufficient notice received by Warrantholder; provided, that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure to timely provide such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) Reservation of Common Stock. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholders rights have been duly and validly reserved and, when issued in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant, will upon issuance be validly issued,
4.
fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free of any taxes, liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever; provided, that the Common Stock issuable pursuant to this Warrant may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws. The Company has made available to the Warrantholder publicly through the SECs EDGAR system true, correct and complete copies of its Charter and current bylaws. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Common Stock; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer and the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Warrantholder.
(b) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Warrant and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Common Stock, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Warrant: (1) does not violate the Companys Charter or current bylaws; (2) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to it; and (3) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound. This Warrant constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights in general, and except that the enforceability of this Warrant is subject to general principles of equity.
(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required on the part of the Company with respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Warrant, except for the filing of notices pursuant to Regulation D under the Act and any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.
(d) Issued Securities. All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. All outstanding shares of Common Stock and any other Company securities were issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws in all material respects. In addition, as of the date immediately preceding the Effective Date, no stockholder of the Company has preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of the Companys capital stock pursuant to the Charter or the Companys bylaws.
(e) Exempt Transaction. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholders representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant will each constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.
(f) Compliance with Rule 144. If the Warrantholder proposes to sell Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant in compliance with Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC, then, upon Warrantholders written request to the Company, the Company shall furnish to the Warrantholder, within five days after receipt of such request, a written statement confirming the Companys compliance with the filing requirements of the SEC as set forth in such Rule, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, and shall, subject to such sale being in compliance with all of the conditions of Rule 144, issue appropriate instructions to its transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend from any certificates evidencing the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant.
(g) Information Rights. During the Warrant Term, Warrantholder shall be entitled to the information rights contained in Sections 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) of the Loan Agreement, and Sections 7.1(b) and 7.1(c) of the Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated into this Warrant by this reference as though fully set forth herein, provided, however, that the Company shall not, once all Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement) owed by the Company to Lender has been repaid, be required to deliver any information required by Section 7.1 of the Loan Agreement so long as the Company is subject to SEC reporting obligations under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9(g) or elsewhere herein, to the extent that this Warrant is transferred to a third party that is not then a party to the Loan Agreement as Lender or is not an affiliate of Lender, then this Section 9(g) shall automatically terminate and shall have no further force or effect.
(h) Listing of Shares. The Common Stock is listed for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market as of the Effective Date.
SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.
This Warrant has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:
(a) Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Common Stock or the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrantholders rights contained herein has been, and such shares will be, acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of the same except pursuant to a registration under the Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Warrantholder is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the 1934 Act or an entity engaged in a business that would require it to be so registered as a broker-dealer.
(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Warrant will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Companys reliance on such exemption is
5.
predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.
(c) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.
(d) Risk of No Registration. Without in any way limiting the Companys obligations under this Warrant, the Warrantholder understands that if the Common Stock is not registered with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act or the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement is not effective under the Act covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant when it desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Common Stock pursuant to this Warrant or (ii) the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, as applicable, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of (A) its rights hereunder to purchase Common Stock or (B) Common Stock issued or issuable hereunder which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.
(e) Accredited Investor. Warrantholder is, and on each date on which it exercises any portion of this Warrant, it will be, an accredited investor within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.
(f) No Short Sales. Warrantholder has not engaged, and will not engage, in short sales of the Common Stock of the Company at any time on or prior to the Effective Date and until the Termination Date. The term short sale shall mean any sale of a security which the seller does not own or any sale which is consummated by the delivery of a security borrowed by, or for the account of, the seller.
SECTION 11. TRANSFERS.
Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Warrant and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Companys books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant. The transfer of this Warrant shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Transfer Notice), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any legend to the contrary, the Company shall not require an opinion of counsel in connection with any sale, assignment or other transfer by Warrantholder of this Warrant (or any portion hereof or any interest herein) or of any shares of Common Stock issued upon any exercise hereof to an affiliate (as defined in Regulation D) of Warrantholder, provided that such affiliate is an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D. Upon a permitted transfer of this Warrant to another entity, references to Warrantholder herein shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to such permitted transferee.
SECTION 12. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Effective Date. The provisions of this Warrant shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if it had been executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company and the Warrantholder.
(b) Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where Warrantholder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable. The Company expressly agrees that it shall not oppose an application by the Warrantholder or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Warrant requiring specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such breach of this Warrant.
(c) No Impairment of Rights. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any other means, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against impairment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12(c) shall negate or otherwise restrict or impair the Companys right to effect any changes to the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with the Common Stock so long as such changes do not adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in a manner different from the effect that such changes have generally on the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions associated with all other shares of Common Stock.
(d) Additional Documents. The Company, upon execution of this Warrant, shall provide the Warrantholder with certified resolutions with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in the first sentence of Section 9(b).
(e) Attorneys Fees. In any litigation, arbitration or court proceeding between the Company and the Warrantholder relating hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and all reasonable costs of proceedings incurred in enforcing this Warrant. For the purposes of this Section 12(e), attorneys fees shall include without limitation reasonable fees incurred
6.
in connection with the following: (i) contempt proceedings; (ii) discovery; (iii) any motion, proceeding or other activity of any kind in connection with an insolvency proceeding; (iv) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examinations; and (v) post-judgment motions and proceedings of any kind, including without limitation any activity taken to collect or enforce any judgment.
(f) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Warrant shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
(g) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication that is required, contemplated, or permitted under this Warrant or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the day of transmission by facsimile or hand delivery if transmission or delivery occurs on a business day at or before 5:00 pm in the time zone of the recipient, or, if transmission or delivery occurs on a non-business day or after such time, the first business day thereafter, or the first business day after deposit with an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third calendar day after deposit in the United States mails, with proper first class postage prepaid (provided, that any Advance Request shall not be deemed received until Lenders actual receipt thereof), and shall be addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

7.
or remedy to which such party is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of such party to enforce such provisions thereafter.
(m) Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Warrant or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be for the benefit of Warrantholder and the Company, as the case may be, and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Warrant and the expiration or other termination of this Warrant.
(n) Governing Law. This Warrant has been negotiated and delivered to Warrantholder in the State of California, and shall have been accepted by Warrantholder in the State of California. Delivery of Common Stock to Warrantholder by the Company under this Warrant is due in the State of California. This Warrant shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
(o) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Warrant may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Warrant, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Warrant. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Warrant shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 12(g), and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 12(g). Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
(p) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes arising out of this Warrant be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, CLAIMS) ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY RELATING TO THIS WARRANT. This waiver extends to all such Claims arising out of this Warrant, including Claims that involve persons other than the Company and Warrantholder, and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Warrant.
(q) Arbitration. If the Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial set forth in Section 12(p) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of JAMS (the Rules), such arbitration to occur before one arbitrator, which arbitrator shall be a retired California state judge or a retired Federal court judge. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, State of California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding on the parties, and shall be final and non-appealable to the maximum extent permitted by law. Any judgment rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction and enforced by the prevailing party as a final judgment of such court.
(r) Pre-arbitration Relief. In the event Claims are to be resolved by arbitration, either party may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction identified in Section 12(o), any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by binding arbitration.
(s) Counterparts; Facsimile/Electronic Signatures . This Warrant and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Warrant may be executed by one or more of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Company, Warrantholder and any other party hereto may execute this Warrant by electronic means and each party hereto recognizes and accepts the use of electronic signatures and the keeping of records in electronic form by any other party hereto in connection with the execution and storage hereof. To the extent that this Warrant or any agreement subject to the terms hereof or any amendment hereto is executed, recorded or delivered electronically, it shall be binding to the same extent as though it had been executed on paper with an original ink signature, as provided under applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act. The fact that this Warrant is executed, signed, stored or delivered electronically shall not prevent the transfer by any Holder of this Warrant pursuant to Section 11 or the enforcement of the terms hereof.
(t) Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the damages which will accrue to a party hereto by reason of the other partys failure to perform any of the obligations under this Warrant and agree that the terms of this Warrant shall be specifically enforceable by either party hereto. If a party hereto institutes any action or proceeding to specifically enforce the provisions hereof, any person against whom such action or proceeding is brought hereby waives the claim or defense therein that such party has an adequate remedy at law, and such person shall not offer in any such action or proceeding the claim or defense that such remedy at law exists.
(u) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company may, upon receiving an agreement from the Holder as to indemnity or otherwise as it may reasonably require (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.

percentage of the Advance amount being repaid: subject to the second succeeding sentence, if such Advance amounts are prepaid prior to the Established Prepayment Date, the Prepayment Fee Percentage of the then outstanding principal amount of each

occurrence of a Change in Control.

and the
20192020
End of Term Charge shall also be payable in the event the Secured Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in

giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Charge, the End of Term Charge, the 2018 End of Term Charge, and the
20192020
End of Term Charge as a charge (and not interest) in the event of prepayment or acceleration; and (d) Borrower shall be estopped from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.
Borrower expressly acknowledges that their agreement to pay each of the Prepayment Charge, the End of Term Charge, the 2018 End of Term Charge, and the
20192020
End of Term Charge to the Lenders as herein described was, on September 30, 2015, August 1,
2018, June 27, 2019, and the First Amendment Closing Date (as applicable), and continues to be, a
material inducement to the Lenders to provide the Prior
Term Loan Advances, the 2018 Term Loan Advance and the 2019 Term Loan Advances (as applicable).

(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Agents proposal letter dated April 26, 2019).
(b) Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.3(b). The Required Lenders and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Agent and Borrower party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of Lenders or of Borrower hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Term Loan Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder, or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 11.3(b) without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release a Borrower from its obligations under the Loan Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.17 without the written consent of Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply
43
equally to each Lender and shall be binding upon Borrower, Lender, Agent and all future holders of the Loans.
(c) Upon any sale, transfer or disposition by Borrower or any Subsidiary of any of the Clinical Assets or royalties (or rights therein or related thereto), rights to payment under royalties, licenses and the proceeds thereof in connection with a Royalty Backed Indebtedness Transaction, any security interest in such Collateral shall be automatically released and Agent and at Borrowers sole expense, the Lenders shall execute such amendments, consents, releases (including UCC-3 financing statement amendments) and other similar documents as may be reasonably necessary under the Loan Documents to give effect to and otherwise permit such transaction.
11.4 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
11.5 No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Lender to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.
11.6 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. Sections 6.3 and 11.14 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.7 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any). Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Agents express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect. Agent and Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agents and Lenders successors and assigns; provided that as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, neither Agent nor any Lender may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents to any party that is a direct competitor of Borrower (as reasonably determined by Agent), it being acknowledged that in all cases, any transfer to an Affiliate of any Lender or Agent shall be allowed.
11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and Lender in the State of California, and shall have been
44
accepted by Agent and Lender in the State of California. Payment to Agent and Lender by Borrower of the Secured Obligations is due in the State of California. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
11.9 Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 11.10 is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of California. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, State of California; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in Santa Clara County, State of California; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 11.2, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 11.2. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
11.10 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial / Judicial Reference.
(a) Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF BORROWER, AGENT AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, CLAIMS) ASSERTED BY BORROWER AGAINST AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among Borrower, Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document.
(b) If the waiver of jury trial set forth in Section 11.10(a) is ineffective or unenforceable, the parties agree that all Claims shall be resolved by reference to a private judge sitting without a jury, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, before a mutually acceptable referee or, if the parties cannot agree, a referee selected by the Presiding Judge of Santa Clara County, California. Such proceeding shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, with California rules of evidence and discovery applicable to such proceeding.
45
(c) In the event Claims are to be resolved by judicial reference, either party may seek from a court identified in Section 11.9, any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.
11.11 Professional Fees. Except as set forth in the Fee Letter, Borrower promises to pay Agents and Lenders fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable attorneys and other professionals fees and expenses incurred by Agent and Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Agent or Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrowers estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
11.12 Confidentiality. Agent and Lender acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the Confidential Information). Accordingly, Agent and Lender agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agents security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Agent and Lender may disclose any such information: (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its Affiliates if Agent or Lender in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such partys responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agents or Lenders counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, including Agents sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Agent or Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h)
46
otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
11.13 Assignment of Rights. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Agent or Lender may, subject to Section 11.7, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any Person or entity (an Assignee). After such assignment the term Agent or Lender as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder. Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s)(if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
11.14 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrowers assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or Lender. The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a voidable preference, fraudulent conveyance, or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or Lender in Cash.
11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.16 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Loan Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than Agent, Lender and Borrower unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Loan Documents will be personal and solely among Agent, Lender and Borrower.

47
(a) Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Hercules Capital, Inc. to act on its behalf as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Each of the Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints Inc. as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including requesting disbursement of the Term Loan Advances and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Borrowers (or any of them) from the Agent or any Lender. The Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any request for the Term Loan Advances, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Inc., whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Borrowers, and the Agent shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Borrower as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of the Borrowers obligations hereunder be affected thereby.
(b) Waivers. Each Borrower hereby waives: (i) any right to require the Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Borrower or any other person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with the Agent or any Indebtedness of the Agent or any Lender to any other Borrower, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy the Agent or any Lender may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of the Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Borrower or any guarantor or any other person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of the Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Borrower or any other person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Borrower or any guarantor or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full, nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Borrower hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Secured Obligations. If any claim is ever made upon the Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent in payment of or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and the Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any
50
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Borrower), then and in any such event, each Borrower agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Borrower, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Borrower shall be and remain liable to the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent or any Lender, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Borrower, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Borrower, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which Borrower may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Borrower or other person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Borrower may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.
(c) Consents. Each Borrower hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Borrower and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of Borrower hereunder, the Agent may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Secured Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Borrower or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Secured Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Secured Obligations, or on which the Agent at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Borrowers or any endorsers or guarantors of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of Borrower; (v) apply any sums received from any other Borrower, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to any Indebtedness whatsoever owing from such person or secured by such Collateral or security, in such manner and order as the Agent determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is part of the Secured Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Borrower, or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. Each Borrower further consents and agrees that the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever
51
with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.
(d) Independent Liability. Each Borrower hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Borrower, in the same action in which any other Borrower may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by Agent. Each Borrower is fully aware of the financial condition of each other Borrower and is executing and delivering this Agreement based solely upon its own independent investigation of all matters pertinent hereto, and such Borrower is not relying in any manner upon any representation or statement of the Agent or any Lender with respect thereto. Each Borrower represents and warrants that it is in a position to obtain, and each Borrower hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining, any additional information concerning any other Borrowers financial condition and any other matter pertinent hereto as such Borrower may desire, and such Borrower is not relying upon or expecting the Agent to furnish to it any information now or hereafter in the Agents possession concerning the same or any other matter.
(e) Subordination. All Indebtedness of a Borrower now or hereafter arising held by another Borrower is subordinated to the Secured Obligations and the Borrower holding the Indebtedness shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to effect, to enforce and to give notice of such subordination.

ADDENDUM 1 to AMENDED AND RESTATED LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
(a) Borrowers Business. For purposes of this Addendum 1, Borrower shall be deemed to include its affiliates as defined in Title 13 Code of Federal Regulations Section 121.103. Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lender as of the Closing Date and covenants to Agent and Lender for a period of one year after the Closing Date with respect to subsections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 below, as follows:
(i) |
Size Status. Borrower NAICS code is 325412 and Borrower does not have more than seven hundred fifty (750) employees; |
(ii) |
No Relender. Borrowers primary business activity does not involve, directly or indirectly, providing funds to others, purchasing debt obligations, factoring, or long-term leasing of equipment with no provision for maintenance or repair; |
(iii) |
No Passive Business. Borrower is engaged in a regular and continuous business operation (excluding the mere receipt of payments such as dividends, rents, lease payments, or royalties). Borrowers employees are carrying on the majority of day to day operations. Borrower will not pass through substantially all of the proceeds of the Loan to another entity; |
(iv) |
No Real Estate Business. Borrower is not classified under Major Group 65 (Real Estate) or Industry No. 1531 (Operative Builders) of the SIC Manual. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used to acquire or refinance real property unless Borrower (x) is acquiring an existing property and will use at least 51 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; (y) is building or renovating a building and will use at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes; or (z) occupies the subject property and uses at least 67 percent of the usable square footage for its business purposes. |
(v) |
No Project Finance. Borrowers assets are not intended to be reduced or consumed, generally without replacement, as the life of its business progresses, and the nature of Borrowers business does not require that a stream of cash payments be made to the businesss financing sources, on a basis associated with the continuing sale of assets (e.g., real estate development projects and oil and gas wells). The primary purpose of the Loan is not to fund production of a single item or defined limited number of items, generally over a defined production period, where such production will constitute the majority of the activities of Borrower (e.g., motion pictures and electric generating plants). |
(vi) |
No Farm Land Purchases. Borrower will not use the proceeds of the Loan to acquire farm land which is or is intended to be used for agricultural or forestry purposes, such as the production of food, fiber, or wood, or is so taxed or zoned. |
(vii) |
No Foreign Investment. The proceeds of the Loan will not be used substantially for a foreign operation. At the time of the Loan, Borrower will not have more than 49 percent of its employees or tangible assets located outside the United States. The representation in this subsection (vii) is made only as of the date hereof and shall not continue for one year as contemplated in the first sentence of this Section 1. |
(b) Small Business Administration Documentation. Agent and Lender acknowledge that Borrower previously completed, executed and delivered to Agent SBA Forms 480, 652 and 1031 (Parts A and B) together with a business plan showing Borrowers financial projections (including balance sheets and income and cash flows statements) for the period described therein and a written statement (whether included in the purchase agreement or pursuant to a separate statement) from Agent regarding its intended use of proceeds from the sale of securities to Lender (the Use of Proceeds Statement). Borrower represents and warrants to Agent and Lender that the information regarding Borrower and its affiliates set forth in the SBA Form 480, Form 652 and Form 1031 and the Use of Proceeds Statement previously delivered was accurate and complete at the time of delivery.
(c) Inspection. The following covenants contained in this Section (c) are intended to supplement and not to restrict the related provisions of the Loan Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, Borrower will permit, for so long as Lender holds any debt or equity securities of Borrower, Agent, Lender or their representative, at Agents or Lender expense, and examiners of the SBA to visit and inspect the properties and assets of Borrower, to examine its books of account and records, and to discuss Borrowers affairs, finances and accounts with Borrowers officers, senior management and accountants, all at such reasonable times as may be requested by Agent or Lender or the SBA.
(d) Annual Assessment. Promptly after the end of each calendar year (but in any event prior to February 28 of each year) and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by Agent or Lender, Borrower will deliver to Agent a written assessment of the economic impact of Lenders investment in Borrower, specifying the full-time equivalent jobs created or retained in connection with the investment, the impact of the investment on the businesses of Borrower in terms of expanded revenue and taxes, other economic benefits resulting from the investment (such as technology development or commercialization, minority business development, or expansion of exports) and such other information as may be required regarding Borrower in connection with the filing of Lenders SBA Form 468. Lender will assist Borrower with preparing such assessment. In addition to any other rights granted hereunder, Borrower will grant Agent and Lender and the SBA access to Borrowers books and records for the purpose of verifying the use of such proceeds. Borrower also will furnish or cause to be furnished to Agent and Lender such other information regarding the business, affairs and condition of Borrower as Agent or Lender may from time to time reasonably request.
(e) Use of Proceeds. Borrower will use the proceeds from the Loan only for purposes set forth in this Addendum 1. Borrower will deliver to Agent from time to time promptly following Agents request, a written report, certified as correct by Borrowers Chief Financial Officer, verifying the purposes and amounts for which proceeds from the Loan have been disbursed. Borrower will supply to Agent such additional information and documents as Agent reasonably requests with respect to its use of proceeds and will permit Agent and Lender and the SBA to have access to any and all Borrower records and information and personnel as Agent deems necessary to verify how such proceeds have been or are being used, and to assure that the proceeds have been used for the purposes specified in this Addendum 1.
(f) Activities and Proceeds. Neither Borrower nor any of its affiliates (if any) will engage in any activities or use directly or indirectly the proceeds from the Loan for any purpose for which a small business investment company is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act, including 13 C.F.R. §107.720. Without obtaining the prior written approval of Agent, Borrower will not change within 1 year of the date hereof, Borrowers current business activity to a business activity which a licensee under the SBIC Act is prohibited from providing funds by the SBIC Act.
(g) Redemption Provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Certificate of Incorporation of Borrower, as amended from time to time (the Charter), if, pursuant to the redemption provisions contained in the Charter, Lender is entitled to a redemption of its Warrant, such redemption (in the case of Lender) will be at a price equal to the redemption price set forth in the Charter (the Existing Redemption Price). If, however, Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the then current regulations promulgated under the SBIC Act prohibit payment of the Existing Redemption Price in the case of an SBIC (or, if applied, the Existing Redemption Price would cause the Series C Preferred Stock to lose its classification as an equity security and Lender has determined that such classification is unadvisable), the amount Lender will be entitled to receive shall be the greater of (i) fair market value of the securities being redeemed taking into account the rights and preferences of such securities plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant, and (ii) the Existing Redemption Price where the amount of accrued but unpaid dividends payable to the Lender is limited to Borrowers earnings plus any costs and expenses of the Lender incurred in making or maintaining the Warrant; provided, however, the amount calculated in subsections (i) or (ii) above shall not exceed the Existing Redemption Price.
(h) Compliance and Resolution. Borrower agrees that a failure to comply with Borrowers obligations under this Addendum, or any other set of facts or circumstances where it has been asserted by any governmental regulatory agency (or Agent or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) that Agent, Lender and their affiliates are not entitled to hold, or exercise any significant right with respect to, any securities issued to Lender by Borrower, will constitute a breach of the obligations of Borrower under the financing agreements among Borrower, Agent and Lender. In the event of (i) a failure to comply with Borrowers obligations under this Addendum; or (ii) an assertion by any governmental regulatory agency (or Agent or Lender believes that there is a substantial risk of such assertion) of a failure to comply with Borrowers obligations under this Addendum, then (i) Agent, Lender and Borrower will meet and resolve any such issue in good faith to the satisfaction of Borrower, Agent, Lender, and any governmental regulatory agency, and (ii) upon request of Lender or Agent, Borrower will
cooperate and assist with any assignment of the financing agreements among Hercules Technology III, L.P. and Hercules Capital, Inc.

5. |
The registrant’s other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions): |
