This SEPTEMBER 2019 EXCHANGE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENT TO FACILITY AGREEMENT (including the schedules, annexes and exhibits hereto, this “Agreement”), dated as of September 3, 2019, is by and among KemPharm, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), Deerfield Private Design Fund III, L.P. (“DPDF”) and Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“DSS” and, together with DPDF, the “Lenders”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement (including in Annex I hereto) shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture (as defined below).

RECITALS:

A. The Lenders own an aggregate of $65,423,000 principal amount of the Borrower’s 5.50% Senior Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “Indenture Notes”) issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 9, 2016 (the “Indenture”), between the Borrower and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee under the Indenture (together with any successor thereto, the “Trustee”).

B. The Borrower and DPDF have entered into that certain Facility Agreement, dated as of June 2, 2014 (as the same previously has been and in the future may be amended, modified, restated or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Facility Agreement”). Upon the execution and delivery of the Facility Agreement, DPDF disbursed the First Disbursement (as defined in the Facility Agreement), which (i) included (among other loans) a term loan of $10,000,000, which is evidenced by the Senior Secured Convertible Note (as defined in the Facility Agreement) (the “FA Note” and, together with the Indenture Notes, the “Notes”); and (ii) obligated the Borrower to issue the Warrant (as defined in the Facility Agreement).

C. Prior to the date hereof, the Borrower has satisfied a portion of the principal amounts under the FA Note, leaving $6,666,666.67 in principal amount of the FA Note outstanding.

D. The Facility Agreement obligated the Borrower to pay to the Lender $3,333,333.33 of the outstanding principal amount of the FA Note, together with accrued and unpaid interest on the entire Principal amount of the FA Note, on June 3, 2019 (the “June 2019 Payment”). The Borrower and DPDF have entered into letter agreements (the “Extension Letters”), which have extended the due date for the June 2019 Payment to September 4, 2019.

E. The Board of Directors of the Borrower has authorized the creation of (i) a new series of Preferred Stock denominated as Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-1 Preferred Stock”) with the preferences, rights and limitations described in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Series B-1 Certificate of Designation”); and (ii) a new series of Preferred Stock denominated as Series B-2 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) with the preferences, rights and limitations described in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Series B-2 Certificate of Designation” and, together with the Series B-1 Certificate of Designation, the “Certificates of Designation”).


F. Pursuant to this Agreement (and subject to the terms and conditions hereof), the Lenders will exchange an aggregate of $3,000,000 principal amount of the Indenture Notes (the “Exchanged Indenture Notes”) for (i) the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Borrower set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Common Exchange Shares”) and (ii) the number of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock set forth on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Preferred Exchange Shares” and, together with the Common Exchange Shares, the “Initial Exchange Shares” and, together with the Option Exchange Shares (as defined in Annex I), the “Exchange Shares”), which Preferred Exchange Shares shall be convertible from time to time by the holder thereof into shares of Common Stock (the “Series B-1 Conversion Shares”).

G. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Lenders will have the right and option to exchange up to an additional $27,000,000 principal amount of the Indenture Notes for shares of Common Stock or shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock, which shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock shall be convertible from time to time by the holder thereof into shares of Common Stock (the “Series B-2 Conversion Shares” and, together with the Series B-1 Conversion Shares, the “Conversion Shares”).

H. Pursuant to this Agreement, DPDF and the Borrower desire (i) to reduce the interest rate applicable under the Facility Agreement, (ii) to provide for “payment in kind” of interest on the Loans (as defined in the Facility Agreement), and (iii) to defer the June 2019 Payment until June 1, 2020 upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

I. The parties intend that the foregoing amendments and exchange of a portion of the Indenture Notes for Exchange Shares are part of, and pursuant to, a Plan of Recapitalization and Reorganization of the Borrower described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

J. Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower and Boston Pharmaceuticals SA, an affiliate of Gurnet Point Capital Limited, are entering into a Collaboration and License Agreement in respect of specified product candidates of the Borrower, in substantially the last form furnished to the Lenders prior to the date hereof (in such form, without amendment or modification, the “GPC License Agreement”).

K. In connection with entering into the GPC License Agreement, at the request of the Borrower, DPDF is willing to provide a limited waiver of certain provisions of the Facility Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

(a) Upon the Effective Time, (i) each Lender shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the legal, beneficial and record holder of the Initial Exchange Shares and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the Exchanged Indenture Notes shall be deemed cancelled.

ARTICLE II.

AMENDMENT OF FACILITY AGREEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 2.01. Amendments to Facility Agreement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, effective as of the Effective Date, the Facility Agreement shall hereby be amended as follows:

(a) Interest Rate. Solely with respect to periods from and after the Effective Date, the definition of “Interest Rate” in Section 1.1 of the Facility Agreement shall hereby be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

““Interest Rate” means 6.75% interest per annum.”

(b) Principal Payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Facility Agreement (including Section 2.3 thereof), the June 2019 Payment due and payable on September 4, 2019 (by virtue of the Extension Letters) shall be deferred to, and be due and payable on, June 1, 2020 (which shall have the effect of deferring the maturity date of the Loans (as defined in the Facility Agreement) from February 14, 2020 to June 1, 2020). To effectuate the foregoing, the first sentence of Section 2.3(a) of the Facility Agreement shall hereby be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“The Borrower shall pay to the Lenders an amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes equal to the sum of $3,333,333.33 plus the PIK Increase Amount (as defined below), on February 14, 2020, and shall pay to the Lenders the balance of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, on June 1, 2020. “PIK Increase Amount” means the aggregate amount by which the principal of the Notes shall have been increased as a result of PIK Interest Payments (as defined in the September 2019 Exchange Agreement and Amendment to Facility Agreement, dated as of September 3, 2019, among the Borrower, the Lender and Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P.) through and including February 14, 2020.”

(c) PIK Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Facility Agreement, interest on the FA Note (or any Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued in substitution therefor) that accrues and is otherwise payable on an Interest Payment Date (as defined in the Facility Agreement) occurring after the Effective Date shall be paid in kind by adding the amount of such interest to the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans (each such payment in kind being referred to as a “PIK Interest Payment”). Following an increase in the principal amount of the FA Note (or any Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note issued in substitution therefor) as a result of a PIK Interest Payment, such increased principal shall bear interest at the rate applicable to the FA Note, and such interest shall be paid in kind (and such payment in kind shall also be deemed a “PIK Interest Payment” hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, any accrued and unpaid interest that is payable upon maturity or upon any other payment or prepayment (in connection with the acceleration of the Loans, an amortization payment or otherwise) of the FA Note shall be paid in cash, and all payments and prepayments (in connection with the acceleration of the Loans, an amortization payment or otherwise) shall be applied to the Loans in accordance with Section 2.3(c) of the Facility Agreement.

(k) The Borrower shall not consent to, authorize or permit any other party to the GPC License Agreement to transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of its rights or obligations under the GPC License Agreement, in whole or in part, except to the extent that the Borrower’s consent thereto is not required by the terms of the GPC License Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.2(k) shall limit the Borrower’s right to terminate the GPC License Agreement in accordance with the terms Section 13.3, 13.4, 13.5 or 15.2 thereof.

(l) The Borrower shall enforce, and shall not enter into, consent to, authorize or permit any material amendment or modification of, or waive in any material respect the provisions of, the GPC License Agreement; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.2(l) shall limit Borrower’s right to amend, modify or waive any portion of the Product Development Plan (as defined in the GPC License Agreement) or the Commercialization Plan (as defined in the GPC License Agreement).”

Section 2.02. Limited Waivers and Consent. Effective as of the Effective Date, DPDF hereby consents to, and waives any breach of the Facility Agreement or any Transaction Document (as defined in the Facility Agreement) that would be deemed to occur by, the Borrower’s entry into the GPC License Agreement (without giving effect to any amendment or modification thereof or adjustment or waiver thereunder).

Section 7.05. Applicable Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) As part of the consideration and mutual promises being exchanged and given in connection with this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature arising under or relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the parties’ dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, including disputes relating to the negotiations for, inducements to enter into, or execution of, this Agreement, and disputes concerning the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination or validity of all or any portion of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any laws, rules or provisions that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(b) The parties hereto agree that all claims, controversies and disputes of any kind or nature relating in any way to the enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement or to the parties’ dealings, rights or obligations in connection herewith, shall be brought exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, borough of Manhattan. With respect to any such claims, controversies or disputes, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably:

(i) submits itself and its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action in any court or tribunal other than the aforesaid courts;

(ii) waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 7.05, (B) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (1) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (2) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (3) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts; and

 

16


(iii) WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (B) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.05.

Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.05, a party may commence any action or proceeding in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendment hereto may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. In the event that any signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof. No party hereto shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment hereto or the fact that such signature was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract, and each party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 7.07. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any person (other than the parties to this Agreement) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.08. Remedies; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under the Facility Agreement, the FA Note, the Indenture Notes, the Indenture and/or at law or in equity. No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy, and nothing herein shall limit any Lender’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Borrower to comply with the terms of the Agreement, the Facility Agreement, the FA Note, the Indenture Notes and the Indenture. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties to this Agreement would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their

 

17


specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without the necessity of posting bond or other security or showing actual damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity.

Section 7.09. Effect of Headings. The section and subsection headings herein are for convenience only and not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation thereof.

Section 7.10. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement 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).

Section 7.11. Reservation of Rights. None of the Lenders has hereby waived any of such Lender’s rights or remedies arising from any such breach or default or any right otherwise available under the Indenture, the Facility Agreement or at law or in equity as to any of such Lender’s Notes that remain outstanding following the effectiveness of the Initial Exchange. Each of the Lenders expressly reserves all such rights and remedies. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, each Lender hereby agrees that the issuance of the Initial Exchange Shares to such Lender and the payment in full of accrued and unpaid interest on its Exchanged Indenture Notes, satisfies in full any and all obligations of the Borrower under the Indenture as to the Exchanged Indenture Notes and such Lender’s remedies with regard to such Exchanged Indenture Notes shall be solely as described in this Agreement.

Section 7.12. Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree, from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any other party hereto, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretary’s certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as any party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower shall take such action, and deliver such notices, documents, instruments and agreements as the Trustee may reasonably require to effectuate the exchange and surrender of Indenture Notes in accordance with Annex I.

Section 7.13. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any party.

 

18


Section 7.14. Interpretative Matters. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, (i) all references to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits are to Sections, Schedules, Appendices or Exhibits contained in or attached to this Agreement, (b) words in the singular or plural include the singular and plural and pronouns stated in either the masculine, the feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, (c) the words “hereof,” “herein” and words of similar effect shall reference this Agreement in its entirety, and (d) the use of the word “including” in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than limitation.

Section 7.15. Reaffirmation. Other than as expressly provided in this Agreement, the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Lenders, constitute a waiver of any provision of the Indenture, the Facility Agreement, the Indenture Notes or the FA Note or any other document executed in connection therewith or serve to effect a novation of the obligations thereunder. The Borrower, as issuer, debtor, grantor, pledger, mortgagor, guarantor or assignor, or in other any other similar capacity in which it grants liens or security interests in its property hereby (i) acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and reaffirms all of its obligations, contingent or otherwise, under each of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Facility Agreement), each as amended as of the date hereof (including as provided in this Agreement), and (iii) to the extent the Borrower granted Liens on or security interests in any of its property pursuant to any such Transaction Document as security for the Obligations (as defined in the Facility Agreement) under or with respect to the Transaction Documents, ratifies and reaffirms such grant of security interests and Liens as provided in the Transaction Documents and confirms and agrees that such security interests and Liens continue to secure all of the currently outstanding or future Obligations (as amended hereby) on the terms and conditions of the Transactions Documents (as amended as of the date of this Agreement (including as provided in this Agreement)). The Borrower hereby consents to this Agreement and acknowledges that this Agreement is a Transaction Document and each of the other Transaction Documents, each as amended as of the date hereof (including as provided in this Agreement), remains in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and reaffirmed; provided that, nothing in this Section 7.15 shall obligate the Borrower to restate, or be considered to be a restatement of, the representations of the Borrower contained in Article 3 of the Facility Agreement as of the date hereof. Any reference in the Transaction Documents to “hereunder,” hereof,” “herein,” or words of like import referring to such agreement shall refer to such Transaction Document as amended as of the date hereof (including as provided in this Agreement).

Section 7.16. Payment Set Aside. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any payment or transfer (or any portion thereof) to either of the Lenders shall be subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, whether in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings involving the Borrower or otherwise, then the Obligations (as defined in the Facility Agreement) purportedly satisfied with such payment or transfer, to the extent that such payment is or must be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or a fraudulent conveyance or preferential, avoided, rescinded, set aside or otherwise required to be return or repaid, shall immediately be reinstated, without need for any action by any Person, and shall be enforceable against the Borrower, any guarantor and their successors and permitted assigns as if such payment had never been made (in which case this Agreement shall in no way impair the claims of Lenders with respect to such payment or transfer). The provisions of this Section 7.16 shall survive the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Facility Agreement.

 

19


Section 7.17. Termination. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the Lenders prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect if any of the conditions set forth in Article VI are not satisfied or waived by the Lenders as of the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Borrower’s obligations under Section 4.07 hereof shall survive such termination until performed by the Borrower in full.

2. Exchange Rights. The Indenture Notes may be exchanged for shares of Common Stock or Series B-2 Preferred Shares on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.

(a) Exchange at Option of each Lender. Subject to Section 2(e) of this Annex I, at any time and from time to time during the Exchange Trigger Period, each Lender shall be entitled to exchange (an “Exchange”) the Indenture Notes (the “Exchanged Notes”) held by such Lender for fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock or, at the election of such Lender, fully paid and non-assessable Series B-2 Preferred Shares (collectively, the “Option Exchange Shares”) at the Exchange Rate (as defined in Section 2(b) of this Annex I) (an “Exchange”). The Borrower shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any Exchange (but may issue fractional Series B-2 Preferred Shares). If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, then the Borrower shall round such fraction of a share up or down to the nearest whole share (with 0.5 rounded up).

(b) Exchange Rate. The number of Option Exchange Shares issuable upon an Exchange of any Indenture Notes pursuant to Section 2 of this Annex I shall be determined according to the following formula (the “Exchange Rate”):

 

                 Exchange Amount                
Exchange Price

(c) Mechanics of Exchange. The Exchange of the Indenture Notes shall be conducted in the following manner:

(i) Lender’s Delivery Requirements. To exchange Indenture Notes for Option Exchange Shares on any date, the applicable Lender shall (A) transmit by facsimile or electronic mail (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on such date, a copy of an executed exchange notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exchange Notice”) to the offices of the Borrower, at 1180 Celebration Blvd., Suite 103, Celebration, FL 34747, Attention: R. LaDuane Clifton, Chief Financial Officer, Fax:  ###-###-####, E-mail: ***@***, or such other address, facsimile number or email address as the Borrower may designate in writing, and (B) as soon as practicable thereafter, assign and transfer to the Borrower the Exchanged Notes by book-entry transfer through the facilities of The Depositary Trust Company from the account(s) of such Lender, free and clear of any Liens. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall have the right to deliver an Exchange Notice that provides for the issuance of both shares of Common Stock and shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock.

(ii) Borrower’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of a copy of an Exchange Notice from a Lender, the Borrower (I) shall as soon as practicable send, via electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Exchange Notice to such Lender and the Borrower’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), if applicable, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to any such Transfer Agent to process such Exchange Notice in accordance with


the terms herein and (II) within the Standard Settlement Period following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of such Exchange Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), (A) in respect of the number Option Exchange Shares (if any) comprised of shares of Common Stock, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Lender shall be entitled in connection with such Exchange Notice, to the account of the Lender’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, or (B) in respect of the number of Option Exchange Shares comprised of Series B-2 Preferred Shares (if any), issue and deliver to the address specified in the Exchange Notice, a stock certificate, registered in the name of the Lender (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by the Lender, for the number of Series B-2 Preferred Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled in connection with such Exchange Notice. Provided that the Lender to which Option Exchange Shares are to be issued represents that (x) as of the date of delivery of the applicable Exchange Notice it is not, and for a period of three (3) months prior to such date has not been, an “affiliate” (as such term is used in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of the Borrower, and (y) the Indenture Notes being converted have not been held by such an affiliate within the six (6)-month period immediately preceding the date of such Exchange Notice, the Option Exchange Shares shall not be subject to restrictions on transfer, and shall not bear any legend or be subject to any stop transfer or similar instruction. For the avoidance of doubt, by delivering an Exchange Notice, a Lender shall be deemed to have made the representations contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, unless the applicable Lender otherwise indicates in such Exchange Notice. All interest in respect of the Exchanged Notes to which an Exchange Notice relates that accrues from the Interest Payment Date immediately preceding the applicable Exchange Date through (and including) the date the applicable Option Exchange Shares are delivered hereunder shall be paid by the Borrower, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Lender by no later than the last day of the Standard Settlement Period following such Exchange Date.

(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute between the Borrower and a Lender as to the determination of the Exchange Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Exchange Rate, the Borrower shall issue, or instruct the Transfer Agent to issue, as applicable, to such Lender the number of Option Exchange Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to such Lender via facsimile and email within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of such Lender’s Exchange Notice or other date of determination. If such Lender and the Borrower are unable to agree upon the determination of the Exchange Price or arithmetic calculation of the Exchange Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to such Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile or email (A) the disputed determination of the Exchange Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Borrower and the Lender to which such dispute relates, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Exchange Rate to the Borrower’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Borrower and the Lender to which such dispute relates of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties to such dispute absent manifest error. The fees and expenses of such investment bank or accounting firm shall be paid by the Borrower.


(iv) Record Holder. The person or persons entitled to receive the Option Exchange Shares issuable upon an Exchange of Indenture Notes hereunder shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Option Exchange Shares upon delivery of the Exchange Notice in respect of such Exchange, or in the case of Option Exchange Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii) of this Annex I, the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute; provided that the principal amount of the Indenture Notes subject to such dispute shall continue to bear interest until the date such Option Exchange Shares are actually issued to the applicable Lender.

(v) Borrower’s Failure to Timely Exchange.

(A) Cash Damages. If, on or before the Share Delivery Date, the Borrower shall fail to issue and deliver to the applicable Lender in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) of this Annex I the number of Option Exchange Shares (free of any restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions) to which such Lender is entitled upon its Exchange of any Exchange Amount, then in addition to all other available remedies that such Lender may pursue hereunder, then the Borrower shall pay as partial liquidated damages to such Lender for each 30-day period (prorated for any partial period) after the Share Delivery Date such Exchange is not timely effected an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Exchange Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (and in addition to the remedies set forth herein), to the extent that the Borrower shall fail to issue and deliver Option Exchange Shares to the applicable Lender prior to the applicable Share Delivery Date, the principal amount of the Indenture Notes to which such failure relates shall continue to bear interest until the date such Option Exchange Shares are actually issued to the applicable Lender. If the Borrower fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) of this Annex I or interest that accrues in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence or Section 2(c)(iv), in each case, within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Lender entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such damages or interest payments described herein, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) of this Annex I divided by (Y) the Common Stock Exchange Price in effect on such Exchange Date.

(B) Void Exchange Notice. If for any reason a Lender has not received all of the Option Exchange Shares prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date (a “Exchange Failure”), then such Lender, upon written notice to the Borrower (a “Void Exchange Notice”) delivered prior to the receipt of such Option Exchange Shares, may void such applicable Exchange with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of the Indenture Notes that have not been exchanged pursuant to the applicable Exchange Notice; provided, that the voiding of such Exchange shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) of this Annex I or otherwise.

(d) Taxes. The Borrower shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of each Lender) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Option Exchange Shares upon the Exchange of Indenture Notes (or any portion thereof) hereunder.


(e) Limitations on Exchange.

(i) Option Beneficial Ownership Cap. The Borrower shall not issue to a Lender, and a Lender may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon Exchange of such Lender’s Indenture Notes pursuant to this Annex I to the extent that, upon such Exchange, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Lender and its Affiliates and any other Persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of the Common Stock would be aggregated with such Lender for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which such Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth in this Section 2(e)(i)) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of the shares of the Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Option Beneficial Ownership Cap”); provided, that the Option Beneficial Ownership Cap shall not apply to the extent that shares of Common Stock are not deemed to constitute “equity securities” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) under the Exchange Act. Each Lender hereby agrees that delivery by a Lender of an Exchange Notice that provides for the exchange of Indenture Notes for Common Stock shall constitute a representation by such Lender that the issuance of shares of Common Stock in accordance with such Exchange Notice will not cause such Lender (together with such Lender’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Lender’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission) to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Option Beneficial Ownership Cap. For purposes of the foregoing representation, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Lender and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of Indenture Notes subject to the Exchange Notice with respect to which such representation is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) exchange pursuant to this Annex I of the remaining, unexchanged Indenture Notes beneficially owned by such Lender and (B) exercise, conversion or exchange of the unexercised, unconverted or unexchanged portion of any shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series B-2 Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any warrants) beneficially owned by such Lender or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes hereof, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, a determination as to any “group” status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes hereof, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Lender may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the Borrower’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the Commission, or any current report filed by the Borrower with the Commission subsequent thereto. In addition, if in response to a request by a Lender (which may be via electronic mail), the Borrower confirms in writing via electronic mail to such Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, each Lender shall be entitled to rely upon such confirmation. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion, exercise or exchange of securities of the Borrower, including shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Series B-2 Preferred Stock, by such Lender or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported or reported to such Lender by the Borrower in accordance with the foregoing, whichever is later.


(ii) Pro Rata Exchange Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Indenture Notes shall not be exchangeable by a Lender pursuant to this Annex I, and the Borrower shall not issue Option Exchange Shares to such Lender upon any Exchange pursuant to this Annex I, to the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Indenture Notes sought to be exchanged by such Lender, would exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Exchange Limit (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Borrower shall exchange the maximum amount of Indenture Notes set forth in the applicable Exchange Notice that may be exchanged into Option Exchange Shares without so exceeding such Lender’s Pro Rata Exchange Limit, subject to the Option Beneficial Ownership Cap, as applicable).

3. Assignment. The rights of the Lenders under this Annex I shall not be assignable by any Lender without the prior written consent of the Borrower, except that a Lender may assign its rights under this Annex I, in whole or in part, without the consent of the Borrower to an Affiliate of such Lender to which it transfers or assigns all or any portion of such Lender’s Indenture Notes, provided that (a) such Lender agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and such assignee or transferee agrees in writing to accept such rights subject to, and to be bound by, the terms of this Annex I, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Borrower after such transfer or assignment; and (b) the Borrower is, after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of (i) the name and address of such transferee or assignee and (ii) the portion of such Lender’s Pro Rata Exchange Limit with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned (which shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Indenture Notes transferred or assigned by such Lender to such transferee). Upon any such assignment or transfer, the definition of “Pro Rata Exchange Limit” shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such assignment.
