This Global Amendment (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of April 14, 2022 by and between Iliad Research and Trading, L.P., a Utah limited partnership (“Investor”), and Jaguar Health, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Company”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Royalty Interest (as defined below).

 

A.           Company previously sold and issued to Investor that certain Royalty Interest dated October 8, 2020 in the original principal amount of $12,000,000 (the “Royalty Interest”).

 

B.            Investor and Company have agreed, subject to the terms, amendments, conditions and understandings expressed in this Amendment, to amend the Royalty Interest as set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.            Recitals. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the recitals set forth above in this Amendment are true and accurate and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Amendment.

 

2.            Definitions. For purposes of this Amendment, the following terms will have the following meanings:

 

(a)            “Exchange Amount” means the amount of the Royalty Interest that Company desires to exchange for Exchange Shares.

 

(b)            “Exchange Cap” means the maximum number of Exchange Shares that could be issued to Investor without violating The Nasdaq Capital Market rules related to the aggregation of offerings under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), if applicable.

 

(c)            “Exchange Conditions” means: (a) with respect to the applicable Exchange Date all of the Exchange Shares would be (i) registered for trading under applicable federal and state securities laws, (ii) freely tradable under Rule 144, or (iii) otherwise freely tradable without the need for registration under any applicable federal or state securities laws; (b) the applicable Exchange Shares would be eligible for immediate resale by Investor; (c) no Event of Default shall have occurred under the Royalty Interest; (d) if Company’s Common Stock is trading on OTCQB or OTCQX, the Exchange Amount is less than or equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the median daily dollar trading volume of Company’s Common Stock during the ten (10) Trading Days preceding the Exchange Date; and (e) the Common Stock is trading on Nasdaq, NYSE, OTCQB or OTCQX.

 

(d)            “Exchange Date” means the date that an Exchange Notice is submitted by Company to Investor.

 

(e)            “Exchange Notice” means a notice delivered by Company to Investor specifying the Exchange Amount to be exchanged and the number of Exchange Shares to be issued.

(g)            “Nasdaq Minimum Price” means such term as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d).

 

3.            Company Exchange Right. The Royalty Interest is hereby amended to grant Company the right to exchange from time to time at Company’s sole discretion any Exchange Amount for Exchange Shares at a price per share equal to the Nasdaq Minimum Price as of each applicable Exchange Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company will not have the right to exchange any Exchange Amount and issue any Exchange Shares to Investor if: (a) the issuance of such Exchange Shares would cause Investor’s beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% of Company’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of such date; (b) any of the Exchange Conditions has not been satisfied as of the applicable Exchange Date; and (c) the total cumulative number of Exchange Shares to be issued to Investor would exceed the Exchange Cap unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than the Exchange Cap or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or NYSE American. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. Following delivery of an Exchange Notice, Company may not deliver another Exchange Notice to Investor for at least three (3) Trading Days.

(b)           There is no fact known to Company or which should be known to Company which Company has not disclosed to Investor on or prior to the date of this Amendment which would or could materially and adversely affect the understanding of Investor expressed in this Amendment or any representation, warranty, or recital contained in this Amendment.
