6.1.       Requisite Power and Authority. Such Purchaser has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of Law to execute and deliver each Transaction Document and to carry out their provisions.  All action on such Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of each Transaction Document have been or will be effectively taken prior to the Initial Closing or Subsequent Closing, as applicable.

 

6.2.       Account. Such Purchaser is acquiring its Note(s) for investment for such Purchaser’s own account, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and such Purchaser has no present intention of selling or distributing any of the Notes.  Such Purchaser understands that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment as expressed herein.

 

6.3.       Access to Data.  Such Purchaser has had an opportunity to discuss Napo’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and to obtain any additional information which such Purchaser has deemed necessary or appropriate for deciding whether or not to purchase the Note(s), including an opportunity to receive, review and understand the information set forth in Napo’s financial statements, capitalization and other business information as such Purchaser deems prudent. Such Purchaser acknowledges that no other

 

14



 

representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made by Napo or any agent thereof except as set forth in this Agreement.

 

6.4.       No Fairness Determination.  Such Purchaser is aware that no federal, state or other agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of the investment, nor made any recommendation or endorsement of the Notes.

 

6.5.       Knowledge and Experience.  Such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, including investments in other emerging growth companies that such individual or entity is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Notes and it is able to bear the economic risk of such investment. Such Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.  Further, such Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such individual is capable of utilizing the information made available in connection with the offering of the Notes, of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes and of making an informed investment decision with respect to the Notes.

 

6.6.       No Public Market.  Such Purchaser is aware that there is currently no public market for the Notes.  There is no guarantee that a public market will develop at any time in the future.  Such Purchaser understands that the Notes are all unregistered and may not presently be sold except in accordance with applicable securities Laws. Such Purchaser understands that the Notes cannot be readily sold or liquidated in case of an emergency or other financial need.  Such Purchaser has sufficient liquid assets available so that the purchase and holding of the Notes will not cause such Purchaser undue financial difficulties.

 

6.7.       Rule 144.  Such Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Notes must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  Such Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time, which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about Napo and the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144.

 

6.8.       Residence.  Such Purchaser’s principal place of business is in the state identified in the address set forth on the signature page.

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$[          ]

[             , 20  ]

 

Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to [               ] (the “Holder”), the principal sum of [             ] Dollars ($[            ]) with interest as provided below.  This Convertible Promissory Note (this “Note”) is being issued as of [                  , 20  ] (the “Effective Date”) pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated March    , 2017, by and among the Company and the parties identified therein (as

 



 

amended, the “Purchase Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto in the Purchase Agreement.

 

1.                                      Payment

 

(a)                                 Payments to Holder. The Company shall make payments hereunder to the Holder, at the address provided to the Company by the Holder in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

(b)                                 Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount hereof from the Effective Date until paid in full at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).  Accrued and unpaid interest hereunder shall be paid on the last business day of each six month anniversary date after the Effective Date (i) prior to the Merger Effective Date, at the Company’s election, either (x) in cash or (y) in kind by adding such accrued and unpaid interest to the outstanding principal amount of this Note, and (ii) following the Merger Effective Date, at the Company’s election, either (x) in cash or (y) in shares of Jaguar Common Stock as determined in the following sentence, provided that if Jaguar Common Stock is neither listed on Nasdaq or the Bulletin Board as of the date due for any applicable interest payment, the Company shall be required to pay such interest due in cash.  The number of shares of Jaguar Common Stock issued to the Holder pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be determined by dividing the amount of interest then due to such Holder by the Jaguar Average Closing Price with such interest payment due date as the Valuation Date (rounded down to the nearest whole share).  The payment of cash or the issuance of shares of Jaguar Common Stock to the Holder shall in all cases be made on the due date for such interest payment.  All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant period.  In no event shall the interest rate payable on this Note exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable Law.

 

(c)                                  Prepayment.  Prior to December 30, 2019, except in connection with a Change of Control, the Company may not at any time prepay the principal or any accrued and unpaid interest of this Note in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers; provided, however, that in connection with any prepayment permitted hereunder, the Company shall give reasonable advance notice of such prepayment to the Purchaser and further shall give the Purchaser the right to receive such prepayment in the form of Conversion Stock and based upon the Conversion Price.  Unless otherwise set forth herein, all permitted prepayments of this Note will be applied first to unpaid interest and then to principal.  For purposes of this Note, a “Change of Control” means: (i) the merger, consolidation or other business combination of Jaguar with any entity in which the stockholders of Jaguar immediately prior to such transaction in the aggregate cease to own at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the voting securities of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction (or the ultimate parent thereof), (ii) the sale, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of Jaguar or (iii) any transaction or series of transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of Jaguar’s voting securities is transferred to any person or group other than pursuant to a transaction or series of transaction primarily for capital raising purposes.

 



 

(d)                                 Maturity Date.  The maturity date for this Note shall be the first date after December 30, 2019 on which the Majority Purchasers have provided written notice to the Company requesting payment in full of the outstanding principal and interest of this Note (such date, the “Maturity Date”).  Unless earlier repaid or converted in accordance with the terms hereof, the outstanding principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest under this Note shall be paid in full on the Maturity Date.

 

2.                                      Default and Remedies

 

(a)                                 The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” hereunder:

 

(i)                                     The Company fails to repay the principal or interest on this Note within five (5) business days following the due date thereof.

 

(ii)                                  The Merger Effective Date has not occurred on or prior to July 31, 2017.

 

(iii)                               The Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a receiver of or for the major part of its properties.

 

(iv)                              A trustee or receiver is appointed for the Company or for a material part of its properties and the order of such appointment is not discharged, vacated or stayed within ninety (90) days after such appointment.

 

(v)                                 Bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings for relief under any bankruptcy or similar Laws or Laws for the relief of debtors, are instituted by or against the Company and, if so instituted, are consented to by the Company, or, if contested, are not dismissed by the adverse parties or by an Order within ninety (90) days after such institution.

3.                                      Conversion.

 

(a)                                 Optional Conversion.  Subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Holder shall have the option, exercisable (i) from the date of this Note until the day immediately preceding the one year anniversary of this Note, to convert all, but not less than all, of one-third of the outstanding principal and interest of this Note into Jaguar Common Stock (the “Conversion Stock”), (ii) from the one year anniversary of this Note until the day immediately preceding the two year anniversary of this Note, to convert all, but not less than all, of one-third of the outstanding principal and interest of this Note into Conversion Stock or, if the Holder did not exercise its conversion right pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 3, two-thirds of the outstanding principal and interest of this Note into Conversion Stock and (iii) from the two year anniversary of this Note and thereafter, to convert all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal and interest of this Note into Conversion Stock, in each case, by providing written

(b)                                 Tax Information Statements. Napo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Holder of this Note with information as may be necessary for the Holder to satisfy U.S. federal income tax obligations, including without limitation I.R.S.

6.                                      Severability

 

If any provision of this Note is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity, legality and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and this Note shall nevertheless be binding between the Company and the Holder.

 

7.                                      Successors and Assigns

 

This Note shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Company and the Holder thereof and their respective permitted successors and assigns.  The Company may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers.  Holder (or its transferees and/or assigns) may assign any rights and/or delegate any obligations hereunder or under any Transaction Document to an Affiliate but not to any other third party without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that any such assignee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of the NDA.

 

8.                                      No Notice

 

Except as expressly forth herein, the Company hereby waives notice of default, presentment or demand for prepayment, protest or notice of nonpayment of dishonor and all other notices or demands relative to this instrument.

 



 

9.                                      No Waiver

 

The failure in any one or more instances of a party to insist upon performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Note or to exercise any right or privilege conferred hereby, or the waiver by said party of any breach of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Note shall not be construed as a subsequent waiver of any such terms, covenants, conditions, rights or privileges, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect as if no such forbearance or waiver had occurred. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.

 

10.                               Time of the Essence

 

Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations hereunder.

 

11.                               No Usury

 

If any provision of this Note would require the Company to pay interest hereunder at a rate exceeding the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law, the Company shall instead pay interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note at the maximum rate permitted by applicable Law.

 

12.                               Business Days; Holidays

 

If payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Illinois, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding business day.

 

13.                               Governing Law

 

This Note shall be governed and controlled by the internal Laws of the State of Delaware as to interpretation, enforcement, validity, construction and effect and in all other respects, including, without limitation, the legality of the interest rate and other charges.
