(e)           The Company and the Deerfield Purchasers each acknowledge that the WP Purchasers shall have no obligation whatsoever to exercise their rights to purchase Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares and that the WP Purchasers have made no commitment or other guarantee to purchase any such shares and the decision to exercise such rights shall be solely within the control of the WP Purchasers.

 

(f)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the WP Purchasers may revoke a Series A-3 Additional Investment Notice at any time prior to the Closing applicable thereto by the WP Purchasers advising the Company and the Deerfield Purchasers in writing of such revocation.  In the event a notice is so revoked, (i) the Deerfield Purchasers shall no longer have any rights to purchase any Shares in connection with such revoked notice, and (ii) the Purchasers shall retain the right to purchase the Shares set forth in such notice in the future, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, by again complying with the procedures set forth herein with respect to the purchase of such Shares.

 

2.4.           Closing Adjustments.

 

(a)           In connection with a Closing hereunder, the Company shall, concurrently with the issuance of the Shares being issued at such Closing, pay to the Purchaser thereof an aggregate amount equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares being issued to such Purchaser at such Closing, multiplied by (ii) the Dividend Equivalent Amount reserved for such Shares under Section 3(d) of the Series A-2 Certificate of Designation or Section 3(d) of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designation, as applicable, at the time of such Closing, if any.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, unless waived in writing in advance by the WP Purchasers, the Company shall not directly or indirectly effect or cause to be effected any transaction with a Person (other than the WP Purchasers and other than the issuance of the shares of Series A-2 Preferred or Series A-3 Preferred, as applicable, contemplated pursuant to this Agreement) that would reasonably be expected to result in a Change of Control unless such Person shall have provided prior assurance in writing to the Purchasers (in a form that is reasonably satisfactory to the WP Purchasers) that the terms of this Agreement, including this Section 2.4, shall be fully performed (i) by the Company or (ii) by such Person if it is the successor of the Company or if the Company is its direct or indirect subsidiary.

 

 

(c)           In the event that a Change of Control (other than an Exempt Change of Control) occurs after the date hereof and prior to issuance of the maximum number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred issuable pursuant to this Agreement, the WP Purchasers shall have the right to elect to receive upon such Change of Control, which right shall be exercisable by the WP Purchasers in their sole discretion, the fair market value of up to the Maximum Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares less any shares of Series A-3 Preferred that have already been purchased in any Series A-3 Additional Investment Tranche (or such shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) into which such Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares may have become exchangeable as a result of such Change of Control), as if the WP Purchasers had purchased such Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares immediately prior to such Change of Control (which shall include for clarity acceleration of the full five (5) years of accretion on such Series A-3 Preferred as contemplated pursuant to the terms therein). For illustrative purposes only, (i) if the WP Purchasers have already purchased 500,000 shares of Series A-3 Preferred prior to the date of a Change of Control and 100,000 Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares remain available for purchase by the WP Purchasers and (ii) the fair market value of each share of Series A-3 Preferred (with the number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred deemed to include such 100,000 Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares) is equal to $110, the WP Purchasers would have the right to elect to receive $1,000,000 in the aggregate or, with respect to each such Series A-3 Additional Investment Share, an amount equal to $10 (with such per share amount representing the $110 fair market value of each share of Series A-3 Preferred less the $100 purchase price per share for each such Series A-3 Additional Investment Share). In the event that the WP Purchasers elect to receive amounts under this Section 2.4(c), the Deerfield Purchasers shall be entitled to collectively receive the Deerfield Pro Rata Portion of any such amounts and the amounts to be paid to the WP Purchasers shall be proportionately reduced; provided, however, that the Deerfield Purchasers shall have no right to receive any amount payable pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) if the Change of Control occurs after the Deerfield Termination Date.  Any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) shall be computed irrespective of whether there has been a Marketing Approval Date.  In the event that one or more Purchasers elect to receive amounts payable under this Section 2.4(c), all rights under Section 2.2 to purchase any remaining Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares then available for purchase shall terminate upon payment of such amounts.

 

In the event of a Change of Control (other than an Exempt Change of Control), the Company shall provide notice of the expected date of consummation of such Change of Control at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such date (or such shorter date as may be permitted by the WP Purchasers), which notice shall specify its calculation of fair market value of each share of Series A-3 Preferred hereunder and the expected date of consummation of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”).  Such fair market value shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and shall be paid in cash or, to the extent that shares of Series A-3 Preferred already outstanding at the time of the Change of Control are exchangeable for securities or other property in connection with such Change of Control, such securities or other property exchangeable in respect of Series A-3 Preferred.  For purposes of determining the fair market value for each share of Series A-3 Preferred described in the first paragraph of this Section 2.4(c), (x) the number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred shall be deemed to include the shares of Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares which remain available for purchase by the WP Purchasers as of immediately prior to such Change of Control and (y) the aggregate amount available for payment to holders of capital stock of the Company shall be computed to include an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price for such shares of Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares which remain available for purchase by the WP Purchasers as of immediately prior to such Change of Control as if such aggregate purchase price had been paid to the Company (as illustrated in the example in the preceding paragraph).  The WP Purchaser may elect (a “WP Change of Control Election”) to receive amounts payable under this Section 2.4(c) by sending a notice of such election, which notice shall specify the number of Series A-3 Preferred it elects to receive consideration for hereunder, to the Company and the Deerfield Purchasers within five (5) Business Days of receipt of a Change of Control Notice.  In the event the WP Purchasers send a WP Change of Control Election, and provided that the Deerfield Termination Date has not yet occurred, the Deerfield Purchasers may elect to collectively receive the Deerfield Pro Rata Portion of amounts to be paid to the WP Purchasers by sending a notice of such to the WP Purchasers and the Company within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the WP Change of Control Election (which notice shall set forth the allocation of such Deerfield Pro Rata Portion among the Deerfield Purchasers).  All amounts payable to the WP Purchasers and the Deerfield Purchasers under this Section 2.4(c) shall be paid promptly upon a Change of Control and in any event within two (2) Business Days of consummation of such Change of Control.  All amounts payable under this Section 2.4(c) shall be paid to the WP Purchasers and, if applicable, the Deerfield Purchasers in priority to any payments to the holders of Common Stock in connection with such Change of Control.  The determination of “fair market value” under this Section 2.4(c) shall be made by the Board acting in good faith.

(a)           Subject to Section 2.5(c), to the extent the WP Purchasers elect to purchase a Series A-3 Additional Investment Tranche (each, an “Additional Issuance”), the Deerfield Purchasers shall collectively have the right, but not the obligation (the “Deerfield Participation Right”), to purchase the Deerfield Pro Rata Portion (no more and no less) of the Series A-3 Additional Investment Shares (“Deerfield Participation Shares”) to be purchased by the WP Purchasers as part of such Additional Issuance. Subject to Section 2.5(c), with respect to an Additional Issuance, (i) the Deerfield Purchasers shall jointly and severally be obligated to pay the Deerfield Pro Rata Portion of the Series A-3 Additional Investment Purchase Price (“Deerfield Participation Purchase Price”), and (ii) the number of Shares to be purchased by the WP Purchasers in connection therewith and the purchase price therefor shall be reduced by the Deerfield Participation Shares and the Deerfield Participation Purchase Price, as the case may be (and the remaining Shares and purchase price shall be allocated among the WP Purchasers in accordance with the proportional allocation set forth in the notice sent by the WP Purchasers to purchase such Shares).

 

(b)           Until the occurrence of a Deerfield Participation Right Termination Event,

Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable under applicable legal requirements, to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.  If at any time after the date hereof, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all such necessary or desirable action and execute, and deliver and file, or cause to be executed, delivered and filed, all necessary or desirable documentation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the parties hereto be required to amend the terms of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents in order to comply with the terms of this Section 5.1.

 

5.2.           Indemnity

 

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify and hold each WP Purchaser and each member of the WP Purchaser Group and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, managers, members, affiliates, employees and agents, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, managers, members, affiliates, employees and agents of each such controlling Person (each an “Indemnified Party”) harmless against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and all other reasonable expenses incurred (and as incurred) in connection with prosecuting, investigating, defending or preparing to defend any action, suit, proceeding (including any investigation, litigation or inquiry), demand or cause of action that may be incurred by them or asserted against or involve any of them as a result of, arising out of, or in any way related to:

 

        (i)          any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Company’s representations and warranties in Section 3 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement;

 

        (ii)         the Company’s breach of agreements or covenants made by the Company in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Agreement; and

 

        (iii)        claims by third parties relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, or any transaction or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether or not any Indemnified Party is or is threatened to be made a party thereto.

 

(b)           An Indemnified Party will give written notice to the Company of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification under this Section 5.2 promptly after discovery by such Indemnified Party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party unless the Company shall have been materially and adversely prejudiced by the failure of such Indemnified Party to so notify the Company.  In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has notified the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Company will not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that (1) if the Company shall elect not to assume the defense of such claim or action or (2) if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines (A) that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Company and of the Indemnified Party in defending such claim or action or (B) that there may be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party different from or in addition to those available to the Company, then separate counsel for the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in and conduct the defense, in the case of (1) and (2)(A), or such different defenses, in the case of (2)(B), and the Company shall be liable for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(iii), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel (and local counsel if necessary) and the Company shall be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.2 for any legal or other expense subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof.  The Company agrees that it shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof in any threatened or pending action, suit, claim or proceeding in respect of which indemnification has been sought hereunder unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, claim or proceeding.

 

(c)           All reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any threatened or pending action, suit, proceeding (including any investigation, litigation or inquiry), demand or cause of action shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, proceeding (including any investigation, litigation or inquiry), demand or cause of action if so requested by the Indemnified Party, within twenty (20) days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements from the Indemnified Party requesting such advance or advances.  The Indemnified Party may submit such statements from time to time.  The Indemnified Party’s entitlement to such expenses shall include those incurred in connection with any proceeding by the Indemnified Party seeking an adjudication or award in arbitration pursuant to this Agreement.  Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith and shall include or be accompanied by a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified against such expenses by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2.  Each written undertaking to pay amounts advanced must be an unlimited general obligation but need not be secured, and shall be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

 

 

(d)           The obligations of the indemnifying party under this Section 5.2 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

 

(e)           No party to this Agreement (or any of its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable or otherwise responsible to any other party (or any of its Affiliates) for any consequential or punitive damages of such other party (or its Affiliates) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the performance or breach hereof.

 

(f)           The indemnification rights contained in this Section 5.2 are not limited or deemed waived by an investigation or knowledge by any Indemnified Party prior to or after the date hereof.

 

5.3.          Consents and Approvals; Stockholder Approval; HSR Act

 

(a)           Subject to Sections 5.3(b) and (c), from and after the date hereof, the Company shall use its best efforts to prepare and file all necessary documentation, to effect all necessary applications, notices, petitions, filings and other documents, and to obtain all necessary permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations of, or any exemption by, all third parties and Governmental Authorities, and expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and to perform the covenants contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.  The Purchasers shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in all actions contemplated by the previous sentence.

 

(b)           The Company and each Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain or submit, as the case may be, as promptly as practicable, the approvals and authorizations of, filings and registrations with, and notifications to applicable Governmental Authorities, or expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, under the HSR Act or competition or merger control laws of other jurisdictions (collectively, the “Antitrust Regulations”), for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, to the extent such Antitrust Regulations are applicable to such Purchaser.  In the event the WP Purchasers shall have provided notice of their election to purchase any Shares hereunder, the time periods in which such Shares must be purchased shall, at the request of the WP Purchasers, be extended as necessary (such extension period, the “Antitrust Extension Period”) to allow the WP Purchasers to comply with any Antitrust Regulations applicable to such purchase.

 

(c)           (i)  As promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof, the Company shall, in consultation with the Purchasers, prepare, and the Company shall file with the SEC, preliminary proxy materials in compliance with Section 14 of the Exchange Act for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval (the “Proxy Statement”).  As promptly as practicable after comments, if any, are received from the SEC thereon and after the furnishing by the Company and the Purchasers of all information required to be contained therein, the Company shall, in consultation with the Purchasers, prepare and the Company shall file any required amendments, if any, with the SEC.  The Company shall notify the Purchasers promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall consult with the Purchasers regarding, and supply the Purchasers with copies of, all correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement.  Prior to filing or mailing any proposed amendment of or supplement to the Proxy Statement, the Company shall provide the Purchasers a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document.  The Company shall use its best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC and shall thereafter mail to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as possible the Proxy Statement and all other proxy materials for the Stockholder Meeting.

 

 

                        (ii)          The Company hereby covenants and agrees that (A) the Proxy Statement will, when filed, comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and (B) none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Proxy Statement will, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s stockholders or at the time of the Stockholder Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

 

                        (iii)        The Company shall take, in accordance with applicable law and its Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene the Stockholder Meeting as promptly as practicable to submit for approval by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company the Stockholder Proposal.  In connection with each meeting of stockholders at which the Stockholder Proposal is submitted for a vote of the stockholders of the Company, (A) the Board shall recommend that its stockholders vote in favor of the Stockholder Proposal and (B) neither the Board nor any committee thereof shall withdraw or modify, or propose or resolve to withdraw or modify, the recommendation of the Board that the Company’s stockholders vote in favor of the Stockholder Proposal.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Board may, in response to a material development or change in circumstances occurring or arising after the date hereof that was neither known to the Board nor reasonably foreseeable as of or prior to the date hereof (such material development or change in circumstances, an “Intervening Event”), withdraw or modify its recommendation with respect to the Stockholder Proposal (a “Change of Board Recommendation”) if the Board has determined in good faith, after receiving the advice of outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, such action is required to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable law; provided that prior to any such withdrawal or modification, (A) the Company shall have given the Purchasers prompt written notice advising each Purchaser of the decision of the Board to take such action and the reason for taking such action, (B) the Company shall have given the Purchasers five (5) Business Days after delivery of each such notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement (or make another proposal) and shall have negotiated in good faith with Purchasers with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposal, if any, and (C) the Board shall have determined in good faith, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by the Purchasers, if any, and after receiving the advice of outside legal counsel that, in light of such Intervening Event, such withdrawal or modification is required to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable laws; provided, further, that, in the event the Board does not make the determination referred to in clause (C) of this paragraph but thereafter determines to withdraw or modify the Board’s recommendation, the procedures referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) above shall apply anew and shall also apply to any subsequent withdrawal or modification.

 

 

(d)           The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the stockholders proxies in favor of the Stockholder Proposal and take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the stockholders that are required by applicable law to approve the Stockholder Proposal, including, if necessary or appropriate, adjourning the Stockholder Meeting to solicit additional proxies.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as permitted by Section 146 of the DGCL, the Company will take all of the actions contemplated by this Section 5.3 regardless of whether there has been a Change of Board Recommendation, and will submit the Stockholder Proposal to the stockholders of the Company at such Stockholder Meeting.

 

(e)           Each of the WP Purchasers and the Company will have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult with the other, in each case subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, with respect to all of the information relating to the other party, and any of their respective Subsidiaries, which appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.  In exercising the foregoing right, each of the parties hereto agrees to act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Each party hereto agrees to keep the other party apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby.  The WP Purchasers and the Company shall promptly furnish to each other to the extent permitted by applicable laws with copies of written communications received by them or their subsidiaries from, or delivered by any of the foregoing to, any Governmental Authorities in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any other Transaction Document.

 

5.4.           Use of Proceeds

 

The proceeds received by the Company from the issuance and sale of the Securities shall be used by the Company for general corporate purposes.

 

5.5.           Takeover Provisions

 

Following the date hereof, the Company shall take all reasonable actions to ensure that (i) to the extent permissible under law, no “fair price”, “moratorium”, “control share acquisition” or other form of antitakeover statute or regulation under Delaware law, including Section 203 of the DGCL, or other state law in which the Company may become incorporated, (ii) no anti-takeover provision in the Organizational Documents of the Company or other similar organizational documents of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) no shareholder rights plan, “poison pill” or similar measure, is applicable to a Purchaser’s ownership of the Securities or the purchase of the Securities, including additional Series A-3 Preferred, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (each a “Takeover Provision”).  If any Takeover Provision shall become applicable to a Purchaser or the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company and the Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate the effects of such Takeover Provisions on each Purchaser and the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

 

5.6.           Section 16 Matters

 

(a)           Prior to each Closing, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any acquisitions or dispositions of shares of capital stock of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (including derivative securities of such shares) by each member of a Purchaser Group who is or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3.  In addition, for the purpose of seeking an exemption under Rule 16b-3, the Company shall, upon receiving reasonable prior notice from any member of a Purchaser Group, request that the Board or the applicable committee of the Board approve, in accordance with Rule 16b-3 and SEC no-action letters thereunder, any acquisitions from, or dispositions to, the Company of Securities, to the extent made by any member of such Purchaser Group who is or will become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Transaction Documents, if there exists a period (the “Section 16(b) Period”) during which a Purchaser’s purchase of any Security pursuant to any Transaction Document would result in liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the period during which such Security may be purchased if prescribed by such Transaction Document, shall be extended until the date that is the equivalent number of days of such Section 16(b) Period after the later of (i) the expiration date to purchase such Security, if any, or (ii) the date of the end of such Section 16(b) Period (the “Section 16(b) Extension Period”); provided that the potential matchable transaction must have occurred prior to the date on which the WP Purchasers have sent the applicable notice to exercise a purchase right if an extension is sought with respect to an Additional Issuance.

 

5.7.           Registration and Listing

 

(a)           So long as a WP Purchaser Beneficially Owns any Securities, the Company will cause the Common Stock to continue at all times to be registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, will comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act, and will not take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the Exchange Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such reporting and filing obligations.

 

(b)           The Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to qualify to list its shares of Common Stock on an Approved Market as promptly as practicable following the date hereof; (ii) subject to the qualification for listing set forth in clause (i) hereof, and so long as the WP Purchasers Beneficially Own any Securities, to continue the listing or trading of the Common Stock on an Approved Market and to comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Approved Market on which the Common Stock is listed for trading; (iii) subject to the qualification for listing set forth in clause (i) hereof, and so long as the WP Purchasers Beneficially Own any Securities, to cause the Conversion Shares to be approved for listing and listed, as applicable, on the Approved Market on which the Common Stock is listed for trading.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company take any action in furtherance of this Section 5.7(b) that is inconsistent with or in conflict with its other obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents without the prior written consent of the WP Purchasers.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5.7.

 

 

5.8.           Private Offering

 

Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that could be integrated with the sale of the Shares in a manner that could require the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.

 

5.9.           Form D and Blue Sky

 

The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with the SEC with respect to the Securities to the extent required under Regulation D of the Securities Act and to provide, upon request, a copy thereof to the Purchasers.  The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities and “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Purchasers on or prior to each respective Closing for the issuance of such Securities.  The Company shall timely make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities and “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States following each applicable Closing.  The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5.9.

 

5.10.         Tax Treatment of Preferred Stock

 

(a)           The Purchasers and the Company agree not to treat the Shares as “preferred stock” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-5 for United States income tax purposes, and therefore as not subject to Section 305 of the Code, and based upon the terms of the Shares as of the Closing Date, the Company shall report dividend income for federal, and any applicable state and local, income tax purposes to the Purchasers solely to the extent that cash dividends are paid on the Shares.  Neither the Company nor the Purchasers shall take any position contrary to the foregoing on any tax return.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Purchasers nor the Company shall be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.10(a) if doing so would be reasonably likely, based upon advice of the Company’s tax advisers, to be unfounded, unlawful or potentially subject the Purchasers or the Company to a material penalty.

 

(b)           From and after the Closing and so long as any Shares are outstanding, neither the Company nor any Disregarded Entity shall issue any convertible debt or, in the case of the Company, any other class of stock, and none of the Company’s Subsidiaries shall issue any debt that is convertible or exchangeable into stock of the Company or any Disregarded Entity.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, a “Disregarded Entity” shall mean (i) a direct Subsidiary of the Company if such Subsidiary is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and (ii) an indirect Subsidiary of the Company provided that (y) such Subsidiary is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (z) such Subsidiary is owned by an entity treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

 

5.11.         Legends

 

(a)           All certificates representing the Series A-2 Preferred, the Series A-3 Preferred or Conversion Shares held by the Purchasers shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AN INVESTMENT AGREEMENT (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY).  NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH INVESTMENT AGREEMENT.

 

THE COMPANY WILL FURNISH WITHOUT CHARGE TO EACH STOCKHOLDER WHO SO REQUESTS AT THE COMPANY’S PRINCIPAL OFFICE THE POWERS, DESIGNATIONS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF EACH CLASS OF STOCK OR SERIES THEREOF AND THE QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS OR RESTRICTIONS ON SUCH PREFERENCES AND/OR RIGHTS.”

 

(b)           Upon request of a Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that such legend is no longer required under the Securities Act or applicable state laws, as the case may be, the Company shall promptly cause the first paragraph of the legend to be removed from any certificate for any Securities to be so transferred and the second paragraph of the legend shall be removed upon the expiration of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Agreement.  The third paragraph shall be removed if such paragraph is no longer required pursuant to the DGCL.

 

 

5.12.        Limitation on Conversion.  Until the date on which the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval, each Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser and its transferees of Securities permitted under the 2010 Investment Agreement (“Permitted Transferees”) will not convert or seek to convert, and the Company will be permitted to restrict the conversion of, shares of Series A-3 Preferred held by such Purchaser, including any Permitted Transferees, to the extent such conversion would result in such Purchaser receiving shares of Common Stock in excess of the product obtained by multiplying (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred purchased by such Purchaser (including shares transferred to Permitted Transferees) pursuant to this Agreement by (ii) the total number of shares of Series A-3 Preferred issued by the Company pursuant to this Agreement by (B) the greater of 105,000,000 and the Excess Authorized Shares Threshold (as defined in Annex I of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designation).  By way of example, assuming the WP Purchasers purchase 80% of the shares of Series A-3 Preferred issued pursuant to this Agreement, until the date on which the Company has obtained the Stockholder Approval the WP Purchasers could not in the aggregate convert shares of Series A-3 Preferred if such conversion would result in the WP Purchasers being issued more than 84,000,000 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate upon conversion thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation contained in this Section 5.12 shall not limit the ability of the Required Holders (as defined in Annex I of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designation) to mandatorily convert shares of Series A-3 Preferred pursuant to Section 7(b) of Annex I of the Series A-3 Certificate of Designation.

 

5.13.        Notice of Marketing Approval.  The Company shall provide each of the Purchasers hereunder with written notice within two (2) Business Days of the date on which the Company first receives written marketing approval in the United States (which for the purposes of clarity shall include “accelerated approval”) from the FDA for a New Drug Application submitted for any of the Company Products, which notice shall specify that such approval has been received and which notice may be accomplished by the Company sending to the Purchasers the applicable press release regarding such approval in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 9.1 hereof.

 

5.14.        Stockholder Approval.  Each WP Purchaser hereby agrees, from the date hereof until the earlier of (x) the Stockholder Approval Outside Date and (y) a Change of Board Recommendation, that at the Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, such WP Purchaser shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted) all of its shares of capital stock of the Company (a) in favor of approval of (1) the Stockholder Proposal and (2) any other matter that is required to facilitate the transactions contemplated by this Investment Agreement; and (b) against any action or agreement that would impair the ability of the Company to obtain the Stockholder Approval or that would otherwise be inconsistent with, prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Investment Agreement.  In addition, to the extent that any such actions are taken by the written consent of stockholders, the WP Purchasers shall provide consent or withhold consent, as the case may be, in a manner consistent with this Section 5.14.

 

5.15.        Deerfield Board Representation.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 2.5(c), from and after the date hereof, the Company shall cause one (1) DF Designee to be nominated by the Company to serve on the Board.  The initial DF Designee shall be Howard P. Furst, M.D., who is currently a Board member.  All of the Company’s obligations and the Deerfield Funds’ rights and obligations set forth in this Section 5.15 shall automatically terminate on the earlier of (i) the Deerfield Termination Date or (ii) the first date on which the Deerfield Funds collectively do not beneficially own at least 10% of the Common Stock as determined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

 

(b)           Solely with respect to the DF Designee that the Deerfield Funds are entitled to designate pursuant to this Section 5.15 (and solely as long as the Deerfield Funds remain entitled to so designate such DF Designee):

 

        (i)          The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such DF Designee elected as a director of the Company, including, without limitation, including such DF Designee in the Company’s proxy statement for the election of directors as part of “management’s slate”, soliciting proxies for such DF Designee to the same extent as it does for any of its nominees to the Board, and including the recommendation of the Board in favor of election of the DF Designee.  In the event the DF Designee is not elected at a stockholders meeting at which such designee is up for election, the Company shall cause such DF Designee to be appointed to the Board.

 

        (ii)         The Deerfield Funds may remove the DF Designee at any time, with or without cause.  Any vacancy in the position of such DF Designee shall only be filled with another DF Designee.  Any vacancy created by any removal of the DF Designee or an election of the Deerfield Funds to defer appointing the DF Designee shall also only be filled with another DF Designee.  The Company shall not take any action to (x) remove the DF Designee or (y) fill the vacancy reserved for the DF Designee, in each case, without the consent of the DF Purchasers.  Any replacement DF Designee shall be appointed to the Board promptly following notice from the Deerfield Funds and in any event, within two (2) Business Days.

 

       (iii)         The DF Designee shall be given notice of (in the same manner that notice is given to other members of the Board) all meetings (whether in person, telephonic or otherwise) of the Board, including all committee meetings with respect to committees on which the DF Designee serves.  The DF Designee shall receive a copy of all notices, agendas and other materials distributed to the Board, whether provided to directors in advance or during or after any meeting, regardless of whether the DF Designee will be in attendance at the meeting.

 

(c)           In addition to any other indemnification rights the DF Designee has pursuant to this Agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws, each DF Designee that serves on the Board shall have the right to enter into, and the Company agrees to enter into, an indemnification agreement consistent with other indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and its outside directors.  The Company shall maintain director and officer insurance covering the DF Designee on the same terms and with the same amount of coverage as is provided to other members of the Board.  The Company shall reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by the DF Designee in connection with attending (whether in person or telephonically) all meetings of the Board or committees thereof or other Company related meetings to the same extent as all other members of the Board are reimbursed for such expenses (or, in case any such expense reimbursement policy shall apply only to non-employee directors, to the same extent as all other non-employee directors).  The DF Designee shall be entitled to the same compensation for service on the Board, including, without limitation, cash fees, stock options, restricted stock and other equity awards, as is provided to other non-employee directors.

 

 

(d)           The Company and the Purchasers shall take or cause to be taken all lawful action necessary to ensure at all times as of and following the Closing Date that the Organizational Documents of the Company are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

5.16.        Issuance of Series A-2 Preferred Pursuant to Deerfield Loan Agreement.  Each Purchaser acknowledges that, pursuant to the Deerfield Loan Agreement (as amended by the Amendment to the Deerfield Loan Agreement) in effect as of the Closing Date, the Company is obligated to issue shares of Series A-2 Preferred in satisfaction of payments of accrued interest to be owed by the Company under such agreement for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.  Each Purchaser hereby consents to the issuance of such shares of Series A-2 Preferred in satisfaction of such interest payments in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Deerfield Loan Agreement.

 

5.17.        Proposed Alternate Financing.

 

(a)           Subject to limitations set forth herein, following the first anniversary of the date hereof, each Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver a written consent pursuant to Section 5(b)(v) of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, Series A-2 Certificate of Designation or Series A-3 Certificate of Designation, as applicable, in connection with a proposed equity financing of the Company (a “Proposed Alternate Financing”) if all of the following conditions have been satisfied:

 

       (i)           the Company has cash and cash equivalents (determined in accordance with GAAP) on hand of less than $3,000,000 in the aggregate and each Purchaser shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to the foregoing (a “Proposed Alternate Financing Certificate”);

 

       (ii)          the WP Purchasers have not sent a Series A-3 Additional Investment Notice to the Company within ten (10) days following the delivery of such Proposed Alternate Financing Certificate;

 

       (iii)         in connection with such Proposed Alternate Financing, the Company shall not issue any equity securities of the Company other than Common Stock or options or warrants to directly acquire only shares of Common Stock;

 

       (iv)         the Proposed Alternate Financing shall provide gross cash proceeds to the Company of no more than $10,000,000;

 

       (v)          if the Company issues shares of Common Stock (or options or warrants to directly acquire only shares of Common Stock) in such Proposed Alternate Financing, the price per share of Common Stock (or the applicable exercise price for each share of Common Stock) issued in such Proposed Alternate Financing shall be not less than 25% below the Current Market Price (as such term is defined in the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation) of the Common Stock;

 

 

       (vi)         the maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock issued (including shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of any options, warrants or other derivative securities) in such Proposed Alternate Financing shall not exceed the number equal to the quotient of (A) $10,000,000 divided by (B) 75% of the Current Market Price (as such term is defined in the Series A-3 Certificate of Designation) of the Common Stock;

 

        (vii)       the Proposed Alternate Financing shall have been approved by a majority of the Independent Directors; and

 

        (viii)      the Proposed Alternate Financing is otherwise consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the 2010 Investment Agreement, including Section 5.4 of the 2010 Investment Agreement.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall preclude the Company from issuing shares of Common Stock in a transaction effected in accordance with Section 5(b)(v) of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, Series A-2 Certificate of Designation or Series A-3 Certificate of Designation, as applicable.

 

(b)           In the event the WP Purchasers send a Series A-3 Additional Investment Notice to the Company pursuant to Section 5.17(a)(ii), for the purposes of Section 2 any minimum amount or threshold otherwise applicable to such investment shall be reduced to $2,500,000.

9.10.        Terms Generally

 

The words “hereby”, “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the specific section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears.  All references herein to Articles and Sections shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.  The words “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”.  The definitions given for terms in Section 8.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement shall apply equally to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.  Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms.  References herein to any agreement or letter shall be deemed references to such agreement or letter as it may be amended, restated or otherwise revised from time to time.

 

9.11.        Draftsmanship

 

Each of the parties hereto has been represented by its own counsel and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, and any applicable rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.  Whenever required by the context hereof, the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.

9.13.        Several and Not Joint

 

The obligations of each Purchaser under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under this Agreement or any Transaction Document.  The failure or waiver of performance under this Agreement or any Transaction Document by any Purchaser shall not excuse performance by any other Purchaser.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

9.14.        Specific Performance

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would result in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties may be entitled by law or equity.

 

9.15.        Waiver of Anti-Dilution Adjustment.  Pursuant to the provisions of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation, each of the Purchasers hereby waives, on behalf all holders of shares of Series A-1 Preferred, the adjustment to the conversion price of the Series A-1 Preferred pursuant to Section 8(a)(viii) of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation that results from the issuance of shares of Series A-2 Preferred or Series A-3 Preferred pursuant to this Agreement or from the issuance of shares of Series A-2 Preferred pursuant to the Deerfield Loan Agreement in satisfaction of payments of accrued interest to be owed by the Company under such agreement for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012.  Each Purchaser waives any right to notice under the terms of the Series A-1 Certificate of Designation solely with respect to this waiver.  This waiver is limited solely to issuance of shares of Series A-2 Preferred and shares of Series A-3 Preferred pursuant to this Agreement and shares of Series A-2 Preferred pursuant to the Deerfield Loan Agreement in satisfaction of payments of accrued interest to be owed by the Company under such agreement for the quarterly periods ending December 31, 2011, March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012, and shall not be deemed to be a waiver for any other purpose.
