The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) three (3) Business Days and (ii) the number of Business Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by an Investor to the Company or the transfer agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Business Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Investor a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends (subject to the remainder of this Section 4.1(c)).  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the transfer agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.1.  Certificates for Purchased Securities subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the transfer agent to the Investor by crediting the account of the Investor’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system as directed by such Investor.  As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Business Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares (or the date of crediting such Shares or Warrant Shares with DTC, as applicable), as the case may be, issued without a restrictive legend.

 

(d) In addition to an Investor’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to such Investor, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Shares (based on the VWAP of the Shares on the date such Purchased Securities are submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Business Day (increasing to $20 per Business Day five (5) Business Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Business Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to an Investor by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Purchased Securities so delivered to the Company by such Investor that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date such Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Investor of all or any portion of the number of Shares, or a sale of a number of Shares equal to all or any portion of the number of Shares that such Investor was entitled to receive from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of such Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the Shares so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) over the product of (A) such number of Shares that the Company was required to deliver to such Investor by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Shares on any Business Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Investor to the Company of the applicable Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii).

 

(e) Each Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees with the Company that such Investor will sell all Purchased Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Purchased Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Purchased Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

 

4.2 Use of Proceeds.  The Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Units for its Phase III program in bronchiolitis, its Phase II and III programs in non-tuberculous mycobacterium and for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the expenses of this offering.

 

4.3 Shareholder Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Purchased Securities under the Transaction Documents.

 

4.4 Form D and Blue Sky. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Purchased Securities as required under Regulation D. The Company, on or before the Closing Date, shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for or to qualify the Purchased Securities for sale to the Investors at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification). The Company shall make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Purchased Securities required under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date and shall provide copies to any Investor who so requests.

 

4.5 Resale Registration.

 

      (a) Mandatory Registration.  Following Closing, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1, Form F-1 or such other form under the Securities Act as is then available to the Company (including the prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement or prospectus, including pre- and post-effective amendments (and any additional registration statements filed in accordance herewith), all exhibits thereto and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, if any, in such registration statement, the “Registration Statement”), providing for the resale from time to time by the Investors of any and all Registrable Securities, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the date that is two weeks following the date on which the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-216287) is declared effective by the SEC; provided, however, that if such date falls within two weeks prior to the date on which the Company is required by Section 13 or 15(d) the Exchange Act to file its next periodic report, then such filing shall be made no later than the date that is two weeks following the date on which such periodic report is due (the “Filing Deadline”).  The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable following such filing, but in no event later than the earlier of (x) the 90^th day following the date on which the Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC and (y) the fifth day following the date on which the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”).  The Company shall promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days, notify the Investors of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.  The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for so long as there are any Registrable Securities outstanding, with respect to such Registrable Securities.

 

      (b) Effect of Failure to Obtain Effectiveness by Effectiveness Deadline.  If (i) the Registration Statement is not (A) filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”), (ii) other than during an Allowable Grace Period, on any day after the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales of all the Registrable Securities required to be included on the Registration Statement cannot be made pursuant to the Registration Statement (including because of a failure to keep the Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement or to register sufficient Registrable Securities) (a “Maintenance Failure”) or (iii) if the Company fails to file with the SEC required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act such that it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144 (a “Current Public Information Failure”, and each of a Filing Failure, an Effectiveness Failure, a Maintenance Failure and a Current Public Information Failure being referred to as a “Registration Failure”), then, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.5(b) (and subject to Section 4.5(c) with respect to Cutback Shares), as full relief (but not as a penalty) for the damages to any Investor by reason of its inability to sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement other than as a result of a Willful Registration Failure (as defined below), the Company shall, (i) on or prior to the fifth (5^th) day following a Registration Failure and (ii) on or prior to the fifth (5^th) day following each monthly anniversary of such Registration Failure and until such Registration Failure shall have been cured (prorated for any period of less than a month), pay to each Investor holding Registrable Securities an amount in cash equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Total Purchase Price paid by such Investor for such Investor’s Purchased Units (such amounts, collectively, “Registration Delay Payments”); provided, that the aggregate amount of Registration Delay Payments payable by the Company shall in no event exceed an amount equal to nineteen and a half percent (19.5%) of the aggregate Total Purchase Price paid by all Investors hereunder (the “RDP Cap”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is (i) a Filing Failure or an Effectiveness Failure resulting from the Company’s failure to have complied with clause (y) of the definition of “Effectiveness Deadline” or (ii) any Registration Failure that shall have been due to the Company’s failure to use its reasonable best efforts to comply with its obligations under this Section 4.5 (each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), a “Willful Registration Failure”), then as partial relief (but not as a penalty) for the damages to any Investor by reason of its inability to sell Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement and without limiting each Investor’s rights to any other remedy available hereunder or otherwise at law or in equity, the Registration Delay Payments in respect of a Willful Registration Failure shall be an amount in cash equal to three percent (3.0%) of the Total Purchase Price paid by such Investor for such Investor’s Purchased Units, and such Registration Delay Payments shall not be subject to the RDP Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, no more than one Registration Delay Payment shall be payable by the Company at any given time, notwithstanding that more than one failure giving rise to a Registration Delay Payment shall have occurred and is continuing (e.g., a Filing Failure and an Effectiveness Failure continuing simultaneously); provided, that, Registration Delay Payments shall continue in accordance with this Section 4.5(b) until all failures giving rise to such payments are cured.

 

      (c)     Rule 415 Cutback.  Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in Section 4.5(a), if the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, then the Company agrees to promptly inform each of the Investors thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Registration Statement as required by the SEC, covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment, the Company shall be obligated to use diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the SEC or any guidance of the Staff thereof sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on the Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by an Investor as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows (the number of Registrable Securities not registered, the “Cutback Shares”):

 

 

 

 

 

(d)           Related Obligations.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(e)           Obligations of the Investors.  Each Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities.  Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from the Registration Statement.

 

(f)            Expenses of Registration.  All expenses incurred in connection with the Registration Statement, excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions, but including without limitation all registration, filing and qualification fees, word processing, duplicating, printers’ and accounting fees, stock exchange fees, messenger and delivery expenses, all fees and expenses of complying with state securities or blue sky laws and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company.

 

4.6 Prohibitions o n Dividends, Etc Except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall not authorize, approve, or effect, or set a record date for, any (i) share dividend, share split, share combination, recapitalization or similar event with respect to the Shares, (ii) any dividend or distribution (of cash, securities or other assets) on the Shares, (iii) any offering, issuance or sale of any Shares or Options, Convertible Securities, or (iv) other action of a type that would have resulted in any adjustment of any of the terms of the Warrants if the Warrants were then to have been outstanding.

 

4.7 Prohibition on Variable Rate Transactions.  From the date hereof until the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall not effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance by the Company or the Subsidiary of Shares, Options or Convertible Securities (or a combination of units thereof) involving a Variable Rate Transaction.  “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company:  (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities or Options that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive, Shares either (A) at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other price that is based upon, and/or varies with, the trading prices of or quotations for the Shares at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or Options or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or Options or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Shares; or (ii) enters into, or effects a transaction under, any agreement, including an equity line of credit or “at-the-market” offering, whereby the Company may issue securities at a future determined price.

 

4.8 Satisfaction of Closing Conditions.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause its Affiliates to use their reasonable best efforts, to, take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate the Qualified Public Transaction as promptly as reasonably possible following the date of this Agreement.

 

4.9 Public Disclosure.  Not later than the fourth (4^th) Business Day following the Closing Date, the Company shall file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Form 8-K”), describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, as required pursuant to applicable SEC rules and regulations, including as exhibits to the Closing Form 8-K a copy this Agreement and the form of Warrant.  The Closing Form 8-K shall include all information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information that has been provided to the Investors on or prior to the Closing Date.  The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, intentionally provide any Investor with any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or the Subsidiary from and after the filing of the Closing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Investor.

 

4.10 Non-Public Information.  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, which shall be disclosed pursuant to Section 4.9, the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Investor shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such information confidential.  The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  To the extent that the Company delivers any material, non-public information to an Investor without such Investor’s consent, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that such purchaser shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, its Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates, or a duty to the Company or its Subsidiary or any of their respective officers, directors, agents, employees or Affiliates not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information, provided that such Investor shall remain subject to applicable law. To the extent that any notice provided pursuant to any Transaction Document constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiary, the Company shall simultaneously file or furnish such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K.  The Company understands and confirms that each Investor shall be relying on the foregoing covenant in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.

 

4.11 Listing of Shares; DTC. The Company hereby agrees to use reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Shares on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed, and concurrently with the Closing, the Company shall apply to list or quote all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market and promptly secure the listing of all of the Shares and Warrant Shares on such Trading Market. The Company further agrees, if the Company applies to have the Shares traded on any other Trading Market, it will then include in such application all of the Shares and Warrant Shares, and will take such other action as is necessary to cause all of the Shares and Warrant Shares to be listed or quoted on such other Trading Market as promptly as possible.  The Company will then take all action reasonably necessary to continue the listing or quotation and trading of its Shares on a Trading Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the applicable Trading Market. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Shares for electronic transfer through DTC, including by timely payment of fees to DTC in connection with such electronic transfer.

 

4.12             Registration Under Section 12; Maintenance of Reporting Status.

 

(a) If the Shares are not registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act on the Closing Date, then the Company agrees to cause the Shares to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act on or prior to the Closing Date. From such registration until the earliest of the time that (i) no Investor owns any Purchased Securities or (ii) the Warrants shall have expired, the Company covenants to maintain the registration of the Shares under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act (the “Reporting Period”).

4.13             Reservation of Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and the Company shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of Shares for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue all of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement and all of the Warrant Shares pursuant to any exercise of the Warrants.
