FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT

 

This FORBEARANCE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 18, 2018 (this “Agreement”), is by and among Egalet Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware (the “Company”), the Guarantors (together with the Company, the “Obligors”) and the undersigned beneficial holders or investment managers or advisors for such beneficial holders (together with any party that executes a Forbearance Joinder Agreement (as defined below) after the date hereof, the “Supporting Holders”) of the Company’s 13% Senior Secured Notes (the “Secured Notes”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the “Trustee”) and Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), are parties to (1) the Indenture, dated as of August 31, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Secured Notes Indenture”) under which the Secured Notes were issued and (2) the Collateral Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2016, and any related documents and instruments that serves to grant and provide collateral to the Collateral Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively, the “Security Documents,” and together with the Secured Notes, the Secured Notes Indenture, and the Security Documents, collectively, “Secured Notes Documents”).

 

WHEREAS, the current principal amount outstanding of such Secured Notes is $80,000,000;

 

WHEREAS, the Company is exploring a potential restructuring or recapitalization transaction involving the Secured Notes (the “Potential Transaction”);

 

WHEREAS, on July 11, 2018, the listing of the Company’s common stock was transferred from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq Transfer”), which constituted a “Fundamental Change” under the indenture governing the Company’s 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “5.50% Notes,” and the indenture governing the 5.50% Notes, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “5.50% Notes Indenture”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 5.50% Notes Indenture, due to the Nasdaq Transfer and the Fundamental Change resulting therefrom, on July 31, 2018, the Company made an offer (the “Repurchase Offer”) to each holder of 5.50% Notes to repurchase the 5.50% Notes on September 19, 2018 (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) for a price in cash equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”);

 

WHEREAS, failure by the Company to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date with respect to any 5.50% Notes tendered pursuant to the Repurchase Offer (including as a result of an early termination of the Repurchase Offer) would constitute an “Event of Default” under the 5.50% Notes Indenture, which would trigger an immediate Event of Default under section 6.01(d) of the Secured Notes Indenture (such Event of Default under section 6.01(d) of the Secured Notes Indenture solely with respect

 



 

to the Company’s failure to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and any corresponding cross-default under Section 6.01(g) of that certain Indenture (the “6.50% Notes Indenture”), dated December 27, 2017, by and among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and the Bank of New York Mellon governing the Company’s 6.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2024, the “Specified Default”);

 

WHEREAS, if the Specified Default occurs, the Holders, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent will have the immediate right to exercise any and all remedies under the Secured Notes Documents, including, without limitation, (a) charging default rate interest, (b) the initiation or continuation of any legal action against the Company or any Guarantor, and (c) instructing the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to take any action permitted under the Secured Notes Documents or applicable law (collectively, all such rights and remedies the “Rights and Remedies”);

 

WHEREAS, to facilitate discussions in respect of a Potential Transaction, the Obligors have requested that each of the Supporting Holders agree temporarily to forbear in the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely to the extent arising from the occurrence and continuation of the Specified Default, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Secured Notes Indenture.
