D. Company has requested that Investor, for a period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the earliest of: (1) the date that is six (6) months following the Effective Date, (2) the date of the public announcement of the probability value (also known as the “P-value”) in Jaguar’s OnTarget Phase 3 clinical trial of crofelemer for prophylaxis of cancer therapy-related diarrhea, and (3) the date of any offering or sale of any debt or equity securities (or instruments convertible into equity securities), including without limitation any at-the-market offering (also known as an ATM Offering), but excluding any Exempt Issuance (the “Standstill Period”), (a) allow Company to refrain from making the Royalty Payments, including any Royalty Payments due and payable as of the Effective Date, and (b) refrain from buying, selling, or otherwise trading in Jaguar’s Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, except for the Permitted Transactions, all as more fully set forth in this Agreement (collectively, the “Standstill”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (i) shares of Common Stock, any securities of Jaguar which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”), options, or other equity awards to employees, officers, directors, or consultants of Jaguar pursuant to any stock or option plan or other equity award plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors of Jaguar or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (ii) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, solely at the election of the holder, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (except for such decreases in exercise, exchange or conversion price in accordance with the terms of such securities) or to extend the term of such securities, (iii) securities in a contemplated private placement with certain accredited investors of up to $3 million (the “PIPE”), including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of such securities; (iv) securities in a privately negotiated transaction to vendors, services providers, strategic partners or potential strategic partners of Jaguar which are not issued for capital-raising purposes, and (v) securities in exchange for up to $2.5 million worth of outstanding Royalty Interests pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act (the “3(a)(9) Exchange”), including any shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of such securities (collectively, the “3(a)(9) Exchange Securities”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Transactions” means: (i) the acquisition by Investor of the 3(a)(9) Exchange Securities; and (ii) the sale by Investor of up to 100% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Investor immediately prior to the consummation of the 3(a)(9) Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, the 3(a)(9) Exchange Securities shall be subject to the Standstill and may not be sold or otherwise traded in by Investor during the Standstill Period.
