Form of Security:    Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Preferred:    (1) Ranking; Liquidation Preference: The Preferred Stock will rank senior to all classes of common stock, of the Company. In the event of liquidation, sale, merger, consolidation or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive in preference to holders of all other preferred stock and common stock an amount equal to $2.01064 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Preference”).

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TEAMM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of HARBINGER MEZZANINE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Payee”; Payee and any subsequent holder[s] hereof are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Holder”), at the office of Payee at Harbinger Mezzanine Partners, L.P., One Riverchase Parkway South, Birmingham, Alabama 35244, or at such other place as Holder may designate to Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of FIVE MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof from the date hereof at the rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year).

 

Interest only on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on the first (1st) day of September, 2002, and subsequent installments being payable on the first (1st) day of each succeeding month thereafter until August 8 , 2007 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be immediately due and payable in full.

 

The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayments shall be credited first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

Time is of the essence of this Note. It is hereby expressly agreed that in the event that any Event of Default shall occur under and as defined in that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith, between Maker and Payee (together with any amendments thereto, the “Loan Agreement”), which Event of Default is not cured following the giving of any applicable notice and within any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Agreement, then, and in such event, the entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with any other sums advanced hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and/or under any other instrument or document now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, at once become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set forth herein, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance hereof, and the entire outstanding principal balance, as so adjusted, shall bear interest thereafter until paid at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the rate that is seven percentage points (7.0%) in excess of the above-specified interest rate, or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. All such interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to the curing of any such Event of Default.

 


In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if Holder incurs any costs incident to the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, Maker and any endorsers hereof agree to pay to Holder an amount equal to all such costs, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs.

 

Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and nonpayment are hereby waived by Maker and all other parties hereto. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted from time to time, shall be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law. No extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker hereunder or that of any other person now or hereafter liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, either in whole or in part, unless Holder agrees otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

The indebtedness and other obligations evidenced by this Note are further evidenced by (i) the Loan Agreement and (ii) certain other instruments and documents, as may be required to protect and preserve the rights of Maker and Payee, as more specifically described in the Loan Agreement.

 

All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between Maker and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

 

This Note is intended as a contract under and shall be construed and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, except to the extent that federal law may be applicable to the determination of the Maximum Rate.

 

Maker hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and of all Tennessee state courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, for the purpose of any litigation to which Lender may be a party and which

concerns this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby. It is further agreed that venue for any such action shall he exclusively with courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, unless Holder agrees to the contrary in writing.

(c) The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are hereinafter referred to as the “Shares.” This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until August 9, 2012 (the “Expiration Date”).

 

2. Exercise Price. The exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) per share for which all or any of the Shares may be purchased pursuant to the terms of this Warrant shall be One Cent ($.01).

 

3. Exercise. This Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof (but only on the conditions hereinafter set forth) in whole or in part, upon delivery of written notice of intent to exercise to the Company in the manner at the address of the Company set forth in Section 16 hereof, together with this Warrant and payment to the Company of the aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased.

Upon exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Company shall as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 15 days

 

2


thereafter, execute and deliver to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate or certificates for the total number of whole Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised in such names and denominations as are requested by such Holder. If this Warrant shall be exercised with respect to less than all of the Shares, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new Warrant covering the number of Shares in respect of which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant. The Company covenants and agrees that it will pay when due any and all state and federal issue taxes which may be payable in respect of the issuance of this Warrant or the issuance of any Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.

 

4. Covenants and Conditions. The above provisions are subject to the following:

 

(a) Neither this Warrant nor the Shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or any state securities laws (“Blue Sky Laws”). This Warrant has been acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale and may not be sold or otherwise transferred without (i) an effective registration statement for such Warrant under the Securities Act and such applicable Blue Sky Laws, or (ii) an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, that registration is not required under the Securities Act or under any applicable Blue Sky Laws (the Company hereby acknowledges that Chambliss, Banner & Stophel, P.C. is acceptable counsel). Transfer of the Shares shall be restricted in the same manner and to the same extent as the Warrant and the certificates representing such Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

 

THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAW AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNTIL (i) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS SHALL HAVE BECOME EFFECTIVE WITH REGARD THERETO, OR (ii) IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH SECURITIES ACTS AND SUCH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH PROPOSED TRANSFER.

 

The Holder hereof and the Company agree to execute such other documents and instruments as counsel for the Company reasonably deems necessary to effect the compliance of the issuance of this Warrant and any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise hereof with applicable federal and state securities laws.

 

(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all Shares which may be issued upon exercise of this Warrant will, upon issuance and payment therefor, be legally and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, free from all taxes, liens, charges and preemptive rights, if any, with respect thereto or to the issuance thereof. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant such number

 

3


of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of this Warrant.

 

(c) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not sell any shares of the Company’s capital stock at a price per share below the fair market value of such shares, without the prior written consent of the Holder hereof. In the event that the Company sells shares of Common Stock at a price per share below the fair market value of such shares (a “Below Market Transaction”), without the prior written consent of the Holder hereof, the Company covenants and agrees that the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares issuable pursuant to this Warrant prior to the Below Market Transaction by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to consummation of the Below Market Transaction plus the number of shares of Common Stock issued in the Below Market Transaction, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Below Market Transaction plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company in the Below Market Transaction would purchase at fair market value. For purposes of this subsection, Common Stock shall be deemed to include that number of shares of Common Stock that would be obtained assuming (i) the conversion of any securities of the Company which, by their terms, are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, and (ii) the exercise of all options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock or securities which, by their terms, are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock. In the absence of an established public market for the securities sold by the Company hi a Below Market Transaction, fair market value shall be established by the Company’s board of directors in a commercially reasonable manner. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Company may issue shares of Common Stock or options for shares of Common Stock for up to 762,571 shares out of the shares available for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan as reflected on the capitalization table attached to the Loan Agreement as Schedule 2.1 (e).

 

(d) The Company covenants and agrees that if the computation of the Shares is understated because any capital stock of the Company, Convertible Securities and/or Option Securities outstanding on the date hereof were excluded from said computation, then the Shares shall be correspondingly increased to take such shares, securities and/or options into account on a proportionate basis.

 

5. Transfer of Warrant. Prior to an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), this Warrant may not be transferred without the prior written consent of the Company, except that subject to the provisions of Section 4 hereof, this Warrant may be transferred, in whole or in part, to any affiliate of Holder or affiliate of the general partner of Holder, by presentation of the Warrant to the Company with written instructions for such transfer. Upon such presentation for transfer, the Company shall promptly execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the form hereof in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denominations specified in such instructions. The Company shall pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with the preparation, issuance and delivery of Warrants under this Section.

 

6. Warrant Holder Not Shareholder: Rights Offering; Preemptive Rights; Preference Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Warrant does not confer upon the

 

4


Holder, as such, any right whatsoever as a shareholder of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company should offer to all of the Company’s shareholders the right to purchase any securities of the Company, then all shares of Common Stock that are subject to this Warrant shall be deemed to be outstanding and owned by the Holder and the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such rights offering. The Holder shall have preemptive rights. The Company shall not issue any securities which entitle the holder thereof to obtain any preference over holders of Common Stock upon the dissolution, liquidation, winding-up, sale, merger, or reorganization of the Company without the prior written consent of the Holder.

 

7. Observation Rights. The Holder of this Warrant shall receive notice of and be entitled to attend or may send a representative to attend all meetings of the Company’s Board of Directors in a non-voting observation capacity and shall receive a copy of all correspondence and information delivered to the Company’s Board of Directors, from the date hereof until such time as the indebtedness evidenced by the Note has been paid in full; provided that such representative shall execute such confidentiality agreement in favor of the Company as the Company may reasonably request.

 

8. Financial Statements and Reports. Unless the Company is otherwise furnishing such information to the Holder hereof, from the date hereof, the Company shall deliver to the Holder the following financial information:

 

(a) as soon as available and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year, audited and reported upon, without qualification, by an independent public accounting firm acceptable to Holder and the Company, accompanied by an unaudited consolidating balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and an unaudited consolidating statement of income of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year, certified by the Company’s president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and (ii) a written discussion and analysis by the management of the Company of the financial statements furnished in respect of such fiscal year;

 

(b) as soon as available and in any event within 30 days after the end of each month, (i) an unaudited consolidated and consolidating balance sheet of the Company and its subsidiaries as of the end of such month, the related consolidated and consolidating statement of income of the Company and its subsidiaries for the period commencing at the beginning of the current fiscal year and ending with the end of such month and the related consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries for such period, certified by the Company’s president, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and (ii) a written discussion and analysis by the management of the Company of the financial statements furnished in respect of such period, in a form consistent with the discussion and analysis currently prepared internally by the Company for use by its management;

 

(c) within 30 days prior to the beginning of each fiscal year of the Company, a budget of the Company and its subsidiaries for such fiscal year setting forth, in reasonable

 

5


detail, a balance sheet and statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for such fiscal year; and

 

(d) with reasonable promptness, such other financial data as the Holder may reasonably request.

 

9. Adjustment Upon Changes in Stock.

 

(a) If all or any portion of this Warrant shall be exercised subsequent to any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares of the Company, or other similar event, occurring after the date hereof, then the Holder exercising this Warrant shall receive, for the aggregate Exercise Price, the aggregate number and class of shares which such Holder would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, or other similar event. If any adjustment under this Section 9(a), would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares subject to this Warrant shall be the next higher number of shares, rounding all fractions upward. Whenever there shall be an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(a), the Company shall forthwith notify the Holder or Holders of this Warrant of such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated.

 

(b) If all or any portion of this Warrant shall be exercised subsequent to any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, separation, reorganization or liquidation of the Company, or other similar event, occurring after the date hereof, as a result of which shares of Common Stock shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of the same or another class or classes of securities of the Company or another entity, or the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive cash or other property, then the Holder exercising this Warrant shall receive, for the aggregate Exercise Price, the aggregate number and class of shares, cash or other property which such Holder would have received if this Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, separation, reorganization or liquidation, or other similar event. If any adjustment under this Section 9(b) would create a fractional share of Common Stock or a right to acquire a fractional share of Common Stock, such fractional share shall be disregarded and the number of shares subject to this Warrant shall be the next higher number of shares, rounding all fractions upward. Whenever there shall be an adjustment pursuant to this Section 9(b), the Company shall forthwith notify the Holder or Holders of this Warrant of such adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated.

 

10. Put Agreement.

 

(a) The Company hereby irrevocably grants and issues to Holder the right and option to sell to the Company (the “Put”) during the Put Period (as hereinafter defined), at a purchase price (the “Put Price”) equal to the Fair Market Value (as determined under subsection (c) below) of the shares of Common Stock issuable to Holder upon exercise of this Warrant less the Exercise Price. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Section shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.

 

6


“Put Period” means the period commencing on the earliest of (i) the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), or (ii) the occurrence of a Significant Event (as hereinafter defined), and terminating on the Expiration Date.

 

“Significant Event” means any of the following events: (i) any change of management or control of the Company whether by merger, sale, consolidation or otherwise, (ii) any public offering by the, Company of capital stock, (iii) any filing by the Company for protection under the Bankruptcy Code, or (iv) any material breach under the Loan Agreement.

The Company shall pay to Holder, in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the Put Price within 30 days of the receipt of the Put Notice.

 

(c) For purposes of this Section 10, the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be determined by mutual agreement between the Company and Holder or, if no agreement is reached, as follows:

 

(i) The Company and the Holder shall each appoint an independent, experienced appraiser who is a member of a recognized professional association of business appraisers. The two appraisers shall determine the value of the shares of Common Stock which would be issued upon the exercise of the Warrant, assuming that the sale would be between a willing buyer and a willing seller, both of whom have full knowledge of the financial and other affairs of the Company, and neither of whom is under any compulsion to sell or to buy, and without taking into consideration that (A) such shares would constitute a minority interest and (B) would lack liquidity.

 

(ii) If the higher of the two appraisals is not 10% greater than the lower of the appraisals, the Fair Market Value shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the higher of the two appraisals is equal to or greater than 10% more than the lower of the two appraisals, then a third appraiser shall be appointed by the two appraisers, and if they cannot agree on a third appraiser, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint the third appraiser. The third appraiser, regardless of who appoints him or her, shall have the same qualifications as the first two appraisers.

 

7


(iii) The Fair Market Value after the appointment of the third appraiser shall be the mean of the three appraisals.

(b) Whenever the Company undertakes to effect the registration of any of the Shares, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

 

(i) Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement covering such Shares and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission as expeditiously as possible and to keep such registration effective until the earlier of (A) the date when all Shares covered by the registration statement have been sold or (B) 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement; provided, that before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to each Holder of Shares covered by such registration statement and the underwriters, if any, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (excluding exhibits, unless any such person shall specifically request exhibits), which documents will be subject to the review of such Holders and underwriters, and the Company will not file such registration statement or any amendment thereto or any prospectus or any supplement thereto (including any documents incorporated by reference therein) with the Commission if (1) the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object to such filing or (2) if information in such registration statement

 

8


or prospectus concerning a particular selling Holder has changed and such Holder or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object.

2


rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), commercial tort claims, securities and all other investment property, general intangibles (including payment intangibles and software), supporting obligations and any and all proceeds thereof, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

 

(b) Perfection by Filing. Borrower hereby specifically authorizes Lender at any time and from time to time to file financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto that describe the Collateral and contain any other information required by Part 5 of Revised Article 9 for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including whether Borrower is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to Borrower.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 4(a) hereto (the “Permitted Encumbrances”), Borrower is the owner of the Collateral free and clear of any liens and security interests. Borrower will defend the Collateral against the claims and demands of all persons other than the holders of the Permitted Encumbrances.

 

(b) The address set forth on Schedule 4(b) hereto is Borrower’s principal place(s) of business and the location of all tangible Collateral and the place where the records concerning all intangible Collateral are kept and/or maintained.

 

(c) Borrower will pay all costs of filing of financing, continuation and termination statements with respect to the security interests created hereby, and Lender is authorized to do all things that it deems necessary to perfect and continue perfection of the security interests created hereby and to protect the Collateral.

 

5. Agreements With Respect to the Collateral. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender as follows:

 

(a) Borrower will not permit any of the Collateral to be removed from the location specified herein, except for temporary periods in the normal and customary use thereof, without the prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred, Borrower shall have the right to process and sell Borrower’s Inventory in the regular course of business.

 

(b) Borrower shall notify Lender in writing of any change in the location of Borrower’s principal place of business or the location of any tangible Collateral or the place(s) where the records concerning all intangible Collateral are kept or maintained.

 

(c) Borrower will keep the Collateral in good condition and repair and will pay and discharge all taxes, levies and other impositions levied thereon as well as the cost of repairs to or maintenance of same, and will not permit anything to be done that may impair the value of any of the Collateral. If Borrower fails to pay such sums, Lender may do so for Borrower’s account and add the amount thereof to the Obligations.

 

(d) Until the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall be entitled to possession of the Collateral and to use the same in any lawful manner, provided that such use does not cause excessive wear and tear to the Collateral, cause it to decline in value at an excessive rate, or violate the terms of any policy of insurance thereon.

 

(e) Borrower will not sell, exchange, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral or any interest therein without the prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred, Borrower shall have the right to process and sell Borrower’s Inventory in the regular course of business. Lender’s security interest hereunder shall attach to all proceeds of all sales or other dispositions of the Collateral. If at any time any such proceeds shall be represented by any instruments, chattel paper or documents of title, then such instruments, chattel paper or documents of title shall be promptly

delivered to Lender and subject to the security interest granted hereby. If at any time any of Borrower’s inventory is represented by any document of title, such document of title will be delivered promptly to Lender and subject to the security interest granted hereby.

 

(f) Borrower will not allow the Collateral to be attached to real estate in such manner as to become a fixture or a part of any real estate.

 

(g) Borrower will at all times keep the Collateral insured against all insurable hazards in amounts equal to the full cash value of the Collateral. Such insurance shall be in such companies as may be acceptable to Lender, with provisions satisfactory to Lender for payment of all losses thereunder to Lender as its interests may appear. If required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the policies with Lender. Any money received by Lender under said policies may be applied to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and payable, or at Lender’s option may be delivered by Lender to Borrower for the purpose of repairing or restoring the Collateral. Borrower assigns to Lender all right to receive proceeds of insurance not exceeding the amounts secured hereby, directs any insurer to pay .all proceeds directly to Lender, and appoints Lender Borrower’s attomey-in-fact to endorse any draft or check made payable to Borrower in order to collect the benefits of such insurance. If Borrower fails to keep the Collateral insured as required by Lender, Lender shall have the right to obtain such insurance at Borrower’s expense and add the cost thereof to the Obligations.

 

(h) Borrower will not permit any liens or security interests other than those created by this Agreement and the Permitted Encumbrances to attach to any of the Collateral, nor permit any of the Collateral to be levied upon under any legal process, nor permit anything to be done that may impair the security intended to be afforded by this Agreement, nor permit any tangible Collateral to become attached to or commingled with other goods without the prior written consent of Lender.

 

6. Remedies Upon Default. Upon an Event of Default under and as defined in the Loan Agreement, Lender may pursue any or all of the following remedies, without any notice to Borrower except as required below:

 

(a) Lender may give written notice of default to Borrower, following which Borrower shall not dispose of, conceal, transfer, sell or encumber any of the Collateral (including, but not limited to, cash proceeds) without Lender’s prior written consent, even if such disposition is otherwise permitted hereunder in the ordinary course of business. Any such disposition, concealment, transfer or sale after the giving of such notice shall constitute a wrongful conversion of the Collateral. Lender may obtain a temporary restraining order or other equitable relief to enforce Borrower’s obligation to refrain from so impairing Lender’s Collateral.

 

(b) Lender may take possession of any or all of the Collateral. Borrower hereby consents to Lender’s entry into any of Borrower’s premises to repossess Collateral, and specifically consents to Lender’s forcible entry thereto as long as Lender causes no significant damage to the premises in the process of entry (drilling of locks, cutting of chains and the like do not in themselves cause “significant” damage for the purposes hereof) and provided that Lender accomplishes such entry without a breach of the peace.

 

5


(c) Lender may dispose of the Collateral at private or public sale. Any required notice of sale shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given at least five days prior to sale. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale to a different time or place without notice or publication of such adjournment, and may adjourn any sale either before or after offers are received. The Collateral may be sold in such lots as Lender may elect, in its sole discretion. Lender may take such action as it may deem necessary to repair, protect, or maintain the Collateral pending its disposition.

 

(d) Lender may recover any or all proceeds of accounts from any bank or other custodian who may have possession thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs all custodians of Borrower’s assets to comply with any demand for payment made by Lender pursuant to this Agreement, without the need of confirmation from Borrower and without . making any inquiry as to the existence of an Event of Default or any other matter. Lender may engage a collection agent to collect accounts for a reasonable percentage commission or for any other reasonable compensation arrangement.

 

(e) Lender may notify any or all account debtors that subsequent payments must be made directly to Lender or its designated agent. Such notice may be made over Lender’s signature or over Borrower’s name with no signature or both, in Lender’s discretion. Borrower hereby authorizes and directs all existing or future account debtors to comply with any such notice given by Lender, without the need of confirmation from Borrower and without making any inquiry as to the existence of an Event of Default or as to any other matter.

Lender may compromise any disputed claims and may otherwise enter into settlements with account debtors or obligors under the accounts, which compromises or settlements shall be binding upon Borrower. Lender shall have no duty to pursue collection of any account, and may abandon efforts to collect any account after such efforts are initiated.

 

(g) Lender may, with respect to any account involving uncompleted performance by Borrower, and with respect to any general intangible or other Collateral whose value may be preserved by additional performance on Borrower’s part, take such action as Lender may deem appropriate including, but not limited, to performing or causing the performance of any obligation of Borrower thereunder, the making of payments to prevent defaults thereunder, and the granting of adequate assurances to other parties thereto with respect to future performance. Lender’s action with respect to any such accounts or general intangibles shall not render Lender liable for further performance thereunder unless Lender so agrees in writing.

7. Audits and Examinations.

Such accountants or other representatives of Lender will be permitted to make any verification of the existence of the Collateral or accuracy of the records that Lender deems necessary or proper. Any reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in making such examination, inspection, verification or audit shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand and shall constitute part of the Obligations.

 

8. Termination Statement. Following the payment in full of the Obligations and termination of any commitment of Lender to make any future advances to Borrower, Lender shall send a termination statement with respect to any financing statement filed to perfect Lender’s security interests in any of the Collateral to Borrower or cause such termination statement to be filed with the appropriate filing officer(s).

 

9. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby constitutes Lender or its designee, as Borrower’s attomey-in-fact with power, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to endorse Borrower’s name upon any notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders, or other evidences of payment or Collateral that may come into either its or Lender’s possession; to sign the name of Borrower on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the accounts receivable, drafts against customers, assignments and verifications of accounts receivable and notices to customers; to send verifications of accounts receivable; to notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as Lender may designate; to execute any of the documents referred to in Section 4(c) hereof in order to perfect and/or maintain the security interests and liens granted herein by Borrower to Lender; to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of and remedies provided under this Agreement.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Agreement in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

15. Construction and Interpretation.

FORM OF PROMISSORY NOTE

 


AMENDED AND RESTATED

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$7,000,000   March 24, 2005

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TEAMM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Maker”), promises to pay to the order of HARBINGER MEZZANINE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Payee”; Payee and any subsequent holder[s] hereof are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Holder”), at the office of Payee at Harbinger Mezzanine Partners, L.P., One Riverchase Parkway South, Birmingham, Alabama 35244, or at such other place as Holder may designate to Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of SEVEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($7,000,000.00), together with interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof from the date hereof at the rate of thirteen and one-half percent (13.5%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year). This Note amends and restates and increases the principal amount that certain Secured Promissory Note dated August 9, 2002 in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Original Note”). The increase of the principal amount of the Original Note by $2,000,000 represents the purchase price of that certain Stock Purchase Warrant dated August 9, 2002 issued by Maker in favor of Holder, which Maker is redeeming and purchasing from Holder on the date hereof. This Note does not constitute a novation of the Original Note.

 

Interest only on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on the first (1st) day of April, 2005, and subsequent installments being payable on the first (1st) day of each succeeding month thereafter until June 30, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”), at which time the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be immediately due and payable in full. In the event Maker successfully completes an initial public offering of its capital stock (“IPO”) on or before the date that is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date, a principal payment in the amount of TWO MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) shall be due and payable on the date that is 30 days after the IPO.

 

The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayments shall be credited first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal balance hereof.

 

Time is of the essence of this Note. It is hereby expressly agreed that in the event that any Event of Default shall occur under and as defined in that certain Loan Agreement of even date herewith, between Maker and Payee (together with any amendments thereto, the “Loan Agreement”), which Event of Default is not cured following the giving of any applicable notice and within any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Agreement, then, and in such event, the entire outstanding principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with any other sums advanced hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and/or under any other instrument or document now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, at once become due and payable and may be collected forthwith, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default as set

 


forth herein, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be added to the outstanding principal balance hereof, and the entire outstanding principal balance, as so adjusted, shall bear interest thereafter until paid at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the rate that is seven percentage points (7.0%) in excess of the above-specified interest rate, or (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed to be charged under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), regardless of whether or not there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth herein. All such interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition precedent to the curing of any such Event of Default.

 

In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, or if Holder incurs any costs incident to the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, Maker and any endorsers hereof agree to pay to Holder an amount equal to all such costs, including without limitation all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs.

 

Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and nonpayment are hereby waived by Maker and all other parties hereto. No failure to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of an Event of Default hereunder, acceptance of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted from time to time, shall be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable law. No extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate to release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker hereunder or that of any other person now or hereafter liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, either in whole or in part, unless Holder agrees otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

 

The indebtedness and other obligations evidenced by this Note are further evidenced by (i) the Loan Agreement and (ii) certain other instruments and documents, as may be required to protect and preserve the rights of Maker and Payee, as more specifically described in the Loan Agreement.

 

All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced or to be advanced hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the fulfillment of any provision of this Note or any other agreement or instrument now or hereafter evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall involve the payment of interest in excess of the Maximum Rate, then, ipso facto, the obligation to pay interest hereunder shall be reduced to the Maximum Rate; and if from any circumstance whatsoever, Holder shall ever receive interest, the amount of which would exceed the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate, such amount as would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and not to the payment of interest. This provision shall control every other provision in any and all other agreements and instruments existing or hereafter arising between Maker and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

 

- 2 -


This Note is intended as a contract under and shall be construed and enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, except to the extent that federal law maybe applicable to the determination of the Maximum Rate.

 

Maker hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and of all Tennessee state courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, for the purpose of any litigation to which Lender may be a party and which concerns this Note or the indebtedness evidenced hereby. It is further agreed that venue for any such action shall lie exclusively with courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, unless Holder agrees to the contrary in writing.

 

HOLDER AND MAKER HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH THE BENEFIT OF COUNSEL WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS OR COUNTER-CLAIMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

GUARANTY AGREEMENT

 

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (“Guaranty”), dated March 24, 2005, is made and entered into upon the terms hereinafter set forth, by ACCENTIA BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Florida corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of HARBINGER MEZZANINE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership with principal offices in Nashville, Tennessee (“Lender”).

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated August 9, 2002 by and between TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Florida corporation and successor by merger to TEAMM Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), and Lender (the “Loan Agreement”), Lender made a term loan to Borrower in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Loan”). The Loan is evidenced by Secured Promissory Notes of even date therewith, in the Loan amount, made and executed by Borrower, payable to the order of Lender, (together with any extensions, modifications, renewals and/or replacements thereof, as the “Note”);

 

WHEREAS, Borrower has requested that Lender amend certain covenants in the Loan Agreement and Lender has agreed to make such amendments;

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition of Lender’s agreement to amend the Loan Agreement as evidenced by that certain First Amendment to Loan Agreement and Loan Documents of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty to Lender; and

 

WHEREAS, Guarantor desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Lender in order to induce Lender to amend the Loan Agreement, which will be to the direct interest, advantage and benefit of Guarantor.

 

AGREEMENT:

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and to induce Lender to make loans and other extensions of credit to Borrower pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

 

1. Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender the full and prompt payment and performance of (a) the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and any and all interest accrued or to accrue thereon and (b) the obligations of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Note, the Loan Agreement and any and all other instruments, documents and/or agreements now or hereafter further evidencing, securing or otherwise related to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note (collectively the “Loan Documents”) (the aforesaid indebtedness and other obligations are sometimes herein collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Guarantor hereby

 


agrees that if the Guaranteed Obligations are not timely paid and/or performed, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms thereof, Guarantor shall be liable to immediately pay and/or perform such Guaranteed Obligations. If for any reason any payment or obligation in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined at any time to be a voidable preference or otherwise shall be set aside or required to be returned or repaid, this Guaranty nevertheless shall remain in full force and effect and shall be fully enforceable against Guarantor for the payment or obligation set aside, returned or repaid, as well as any other Guaranteed Obligations still outstanding, notwithstanding the fact that this Guaranty may have been cancelled, released and/or returned to Guarantor by Lender.

 

2. In addition to the obligations of Guarantor to Lender pursuant to Section 1 hereof, Guarantor further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect and/or enforce the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

3. Guarantor hereby waives notice of any breach or default by Borrower, and hereby further waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor and protest with respect to any instrument now or hereafter evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

4. Any act of Lender consisting of a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the giving of any consent to any matter or thing relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the granting of any indulgences or extensions of time to Borrower, may be done without notice to Guarantor and without releasing the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

 

5. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by Lender’s receipt, application or release of any security given for the payment, performance and observance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Similarly, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by any modification of any of the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations made by Lender and Borrower, but in the case of any such modification, the liability of Guarantor shall be deemed modified in accordance with the terms of any such modification.

 

6. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected by (a) the release or discharge of Borrower in any creditors’ receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings, (b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of Borrower or the estate of Borrower in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the Federal bankruptcy law or any other statute or the decision of any court, (c) the rejection or disaffirmance of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing any of the Guaranteed Obligations in any such proceedings, (d) the assignment or transfer of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by Lender, or (e) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7. Until all of the covenants, terms and conditions of Borrower with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are fully paid, performed, kept and/or observed, Guarantor, (a) shall have no rights of reimbursement or subrogation against Borrower or any of its property by reason of any payment or acts of performance by any Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, (b) waive any right to enforce any remedy that Guarantor

now or hereafter shall have against Borrower by reason of any one or more payments or acts of performance in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, and (c) subordinate any liability or indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter held by Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

8. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other person, nor against any collateral available to Lender. Guarantor hereby waives any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other person or to require that resort be had to any collateral in favor of Lender prior to discharging its obligations hereunder.

 

9. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that all payments and credits received from Borrower or Guarantor or realized from any collateral may be applied by Lender to the Guaranteed Obligations in such priority as Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit.

 

10. In the event that Guarantor consists of more than one person or entity, the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder shall be joint and several, and all references herein to “Guarantor” shall refer to each of said persons or entities jointly and severally. This Guaranty is assignable by Lender, and any assignment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof by Lender shall operate to vest in the assignee the rights and powers of Lender hereunder to the extent of such assignment. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and Guarantor’s successors, successors-in-title and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors, successors-in-title and assigns.

 

11. This Guaranty shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee applicable to contracts to be performed within said State. No amendment or modification hereof shall be effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by Guarantor and Lender. When used herein, the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, and the use of any gender shall include all other genders, as appropriate.

 

12. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender.

 

13. Guarantor hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants to Lender that (a) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the limitations imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally or the application of general equitable principles; (b) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder are within the respective corporate or company power of Guarantor and have been duly-authorized by all necessary corporate or company action; (c) the execution and delivery of this Guaranty by Guarantor and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder do not and will not violate, breach or constitute a default under any agreement binding on Guarantor or require the consent of any third party; and (d) Guarantor is duly-organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation or organization.

 

14. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties to this Guaranty in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be

deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty.

 

15. Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee and of all Tennessee state courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, for the purpose of any litigation to which Lender or Guarantor may be a party and which concerns this Guaranty Agreement. It is further agreed that venue for any such action shall lie exclusively with courts sitting in Davidson County, Tennessee, unless Lender agrees to the contrary in writing.

 

16. LENDER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH THE BENEFIT OF COUNSEL, WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTIONS, PROCEEDINGS, CLAIMS OR COUNTER-CLAIMS, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
