(collectively, the “Security Holder”) and Evofem Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Evofem” and together with the Company and the Security Holder, the “Parties”).

 

WHEREAS, the Security Holder is the holder of Convertible Promissory Notes issued by Evofem (the “Convertible Notes”) and Right to Receive Common Stock agreements issued by Evofem (the “Purchase Rights”) as more fully described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Evofem Securities”);

 

WHEREAS, the Security Holder desires to grant to the Company a call option to purchase, at the sole discretion of the Company, all of the Evofem Securities from the Security Holder for an aggregate purchase price equal to $13,000,000.00 (the “Payment”);

 

WHEREAS, the Company is in ongoing discussions with Evofem regarding a merger or alternative strategic collaboration or transaction (the “Merger”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Call Right. Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, at any time after the satisfaction in full of the repayment obligations under the Securities Purchase and Security Agreement by and between Evofem Future Pak, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, and Designated Agent, dated April 23, 2020 (as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto dated as of November 20, 2021, that certain Second Amendment thereto dated as of March 21, 2022, that certain Third Amendment thereto dated as of September 15, 2022, and that certain Fourth Amendment thereto dated as of September 8, 2023, and as otherwise amended, restated, supplemented or modified prior to the date hereof, and subject to that certain Forbearance Agreement dated as of September 15, 2022 (as amended by that certain First Amendment thereto dated as of December 15, 2022), (the “Future Pak Note”) until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on June 30, 2025 (the “Call Period”), the Company shall have the right to purchase the Evofem Securities from the Security Holder for a purchase price equal to the Payment (the “Right”). The Company may exercise the Right at any time during the Call Period by giving written notice (the “Company Notice”) of the exercise of the Right to the Security Holder and Evofem. Provided that the Security Holder has not Transferred (as defined below) or agreed to Transfer the Evofem Securities prior to the delivery of the Company Notice, upon receipt of the Company Notice, the Security Holder agrees to sell the Evofem Securities to the Company in exchange for the Payment (the date of such agreement, the “Acceptance Date”).

 

2. Prohibition Against Transfer of Evofem Securities. During the Call Period, the Security Holder may not transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) the Evofem Securities without the prior written consent of the Company; provided, however, that (a) if the Company has not provided $1.5 million of capital to Evofem by April 30, 2025 (the “Funding Milestone”), the Security Holder may Transfer the Evofem Securities after April 30, 2025 without the prior written consent of the Company, (b) if the Funding Milestone has been satisfied and the Future Pak Note is still held by Future Pak on May 31, 2025, the Security Holder may Transfer the Evofem Securities after May 31, 2025 without the prior written consent of the Company, and (c) if at any time the repayment obligations of the Future Pak Note have been satisfied through or by a transaction or a party not associated with either the Company or the Merger, the Security Holder may Transfer the Evofem Securities without the prior written consent of the Company after such satisfaction. Upon a Transfer of the Evofem Securities, (i) the Security Holder shall give prompt written notice to the Company, and (ii) the Right shall automatically be extinguished and canceled.

 

3. Closing Date. The Parties agree that the closing of the exercise of the Right (the “Closing”) shall be conducted electronically one (1) Business Day after the Acceptance Date or such other date and at such other time as the Company and the Security Holder may mutually agree. All documents, instruments, and agreements required for the Closing may be signed, exchanged, and delivered electronically, including through the use of email, electronic signature platforms (e.g., DocuSign or similar services), or any other mutually agreed-upon method. The Parties acknowledge and agree that electronically executed documents shall have the same legal effect as originals and shall be deemed valid, binding, and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

4. Closing Deliveries. On the Closing Date, the Company shall pay the Payment to the Security Holder by wire transfer to a bank account designated by the Security Holder, and the Security Holder, following its receipt of the Payment, shall assign the Convertible Notes to the Company in the form of assignment set forth as Exhibit B attached hereto and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Evofem to deliver, and Evofem shall deliver to the Company, new purchase rights of like tenor as the Purchase Rights in the name of the Company or such other party as designated by the Company (the “New Evofem Securities”) and such other certificates and documents as are requested by the Company.

 

5. No Release of Claims. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that upon transfer of the Evofem Securities to the Company upon the Closing, the New Evofem Securities to be issued to the Company will not in any way release or discharge Evofem or its respective officers, directors, principals, control persons, attorneys, accountants, past and present employees, insurers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Evofem Parties”) from any actions, cause of action, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, damages, judgments, extents, executions, claims, and demands whatsoever, in law, admiralty or equity, that any party ever had, now has or hereafter can, shall or may have against the Evofem Parties for, upon, or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, whether or not known or unknown, from the beginning of the world to the Closing Date arising under and from the Evofem Securities.

(c) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such Party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(f) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the Parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the Parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the Parties. The Parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

 

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement represents the entire agreement and understandings between the Parties concerning the transactions contemplated hereby and supersedes and replaces any and all prior agreements and understandings solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
