WHEREAS, the Borrower has delivered to the Lenders the documents attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Reorganization Documents”) in connection with a proposed reorganization transaction and Series D Preferred Stock financing of up to $45 million, with a $25 million initial closing (the “Series D Financing” and together, the “Transaction”) involving the Borrower, pursuant to which, among other things, two new subsidiary entities of the Borrower (“Valeritas Holdings, LLC” and “Merger Sub”, respectively) will be created, with Merger Sub then merging into the Borrower (thereafter, the “Post-Transaction Borrower”) and Valeritas Holdings, LLC becoming the parent of the Post-Transaction Borrower.

WHEREAS, the Transaction is not permitted under the terms of the Term Loan Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders approve the Borrower’s entering into the Transaction and waive any restrictions in the Term Loan Agreement as they relate to the Transaction.

WHEREAS, the Borrower further anticipates that it will not be able to meet the financial covenants set forth in Section 10 of the Term Loan Agreement and has requested that the Lenders waive and amend certain provisions in such section to extend the equity cure option and change the minimum required Revenue for calendar year 2015.

NOW THEREFORE, accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Subject to Sections 5 and 6 hereafter, the Lenders hereby agree that any breach of the Term Loan Agreement under Sections 3.03, 8.12, 9.03, 9.05, 9.06 and 9.09 thereof (the “Waived Transaction Provisions”) which would be caused by the actions of the Borrower in connection with the execution or consummation of the Transaction in accordance with the Reorganization Documents is hereby waived.

SECTION 3 Financial Covenant Waiver and Amendment.

(a) Subject to Sections 5 and 7 hereafter and the execution or consummation of the Transaction, the Lenders hereby waive any obligation of Borrower to comply with Section 10.01(a)(ii) of the Term Loan Agreement (the “Waived Financial Covenant Provision”, collectively with the Waived Transaction Provisions, the “Waived Provisions”).

(b) Section 10.01(a)(iii) of the Term Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“during the twelve month period beginning on January 1, 2015, of at least $20,000,000;”

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of noncompliance or breach of any other term or provision in the Term Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor prejudice any right or remedy that the Lenders may now have (except to the extent such right or remedy was based upon Defaults that will not exist after giving effect to this Agreement) or may have in the future under or in connection with the Term Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a waiver or consent in respect of (or otherwise affect the Lenders’ ability to enforce) any Default not explicitly waived by Sections 2 and 3(a) including (a) any Default that may now exist or hereafter arise from or otherwise be related to the Waived Provisions, and (b) any Default arising at any time after the Effective Date and which is similar in type to the Waived Provisions.

SECTION 6 Further Conditions to Transaction Waiver; Covenants. The effectiveness of Section 2 on an ongoing basis is subject to the continuing satisfaction of the following covenants of the Borrower and conditions:

(a) Warrants. The Borrower previously issued to the Lenders Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock of the Borrower (the “Prior Warrants”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement. The Lenders hereby agree that effective as of the Effective Date, the Prior Warrants are hereby terminated in their entirety and of no further force or effect. Concurrently with the consummation of the Transaction, the Post-Transaction Borrower shall issue new warrants to acquire common stock in the Post-Transaction Borrower, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Initial Warrants”), where such Initial Warrants represent in the aggregate 1.50% of the fully diluted common stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower immediately following the consummation of the Transaction. In the event the Post-Transaction Borrower consummates an additional closing of the Series D Financing and additional shares of Series D Preferred Stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower are issued and sold up to $45 million in aggregate Series D Financing, (the “Additional Series D Financing”), or the Post-Transaction Borrower, directly or indirectly through its affiliates, consummates a similar financing transaction as the Series D Financing with the investor or investors or their affiliates providing the Series D Financing (together with the Additional Series D Financing, the “Additional Financing”), concurrently with the consummation of such closing, the Post-Transaction Borrower shall issue new warrants to acquire common stock in the Post-Transaction Borrower, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, where such new warrants together with the Initial Warrants represent in the aggregate 1.50% of the fully diluted common stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower immediately following the consummation of such closing, after giving effect to the next $20 million of Additional Financing after the initial Series D Financing closing. For clarity, the warrant coverage shall not include any investment by existing or new investors in the Company’s IPO (as hereafter defined).

(b) Amendment of Term Loan Agreement. The Borrower and the Lenders shall promptly, and in any case no later than 10 days following the consummation of the Transaction, amend and restate the Term Loan Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Lenders to, among other things,

(i) Amend Section 10.01(b) to allow the Post-Transaction Borrower to use the Cure Right for any calendar year during the term of the Term Loan Agreement;

(ii) require Valeritas Holdings, LLC (or any other holding company or direct or indirect parent of Valeritas) (“Holdco”) to become an Obligor under the Term Loan Agreement, guarantee the Obligations and pledge its assets (including its capital stock in the Post-Transaction Borrower) to secure the Obligations, and enter into any Loan Documents as necessary or appropriate for such purposes;

(iii) extend the covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, including without limitation, such covenants under Sections 8 and 9 of the Term Loan Agreement, to cover any Holdco.

 

3


SECTION 7 Further Condition to Financial Covenant Waiver. The effectiveness of Section 3 is subject to the completion (exclusive of the proceeds raised by issuing Series D Preferred Stock in the Series D Financing) of (i) an initial public offering (“IPO”) by the Post-Transaction Borrower which results in the listing of capital stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower on a recognized national exchange and net cash proceeds to the Post-Transaction Borrower in excess of $40,000,000 (the “IPO Threshold”) on or before March 31, 2015; (ii) a private financing of the Post-Transaction Borrower of at least the sum of (x) $35,000,000 plus the greater of (y) (1) zero and (2) $35,000,000 minus aggregate proceeds from the Series D Financing, where such private financing of the Post-Transaction Borrower occurs on or before December 31, 2014 and an IPO by the Post-Transaction Borrower which results in the listing of capital stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower on a recognized national exchange and net cash proceeds to the Post-Transaction Borrower in such IPO in excess of the IPO Threshold on or before June 30, 2015; or (iii) a strategic investment by a publicly listed company (or large private company deemed satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion) in the Post-Transaction Borrower of at least $20,000,000 on or before December 31, 2014 and an IPO by the Post-Transaction Borrower which results in the listing of capital stock of the Post-Transaction Borrower on a recognized national exchange and net cash proceeds to the Post-Transaction Borrower in excess of the IPO Threshold on or before June 30, 2015. For clarity, the IPO Threshold shall include any and all amounts invested by existing investors of the Post-Transaction Borrower in the IPO.

SECTION 8 Representations and Warranties.

The Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders as follows:

(a) The Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all information relating to the Transaction that could reasonably expected to be material to the Lenders’ understanding and evaluation of the Transaction.

(b) All material agreements and documents relating to the Transaction have been disclosed to the Lenders.

(c) None of the information furnished by the Borrower to the Lenders in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, including the Reorganization Documents, contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

SECTION 9 Miscellaneous.

(a) Term Loan Agreement Otherwise Not Affected; No Waiver. Except as expressly contemplated hereby, the Term Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The Lenders’ execution and delivery of, or acceptance of, this Agreement and any other documents and instruments in connection

This Agreement may not be modified, amended or otherwise altered except in accordance with the terms of Section 12.04 of the Term Loan Agreement.

(g) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, 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, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

1.1 Merger of Merger Sub into Opco. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time (as defined below), (i) Merger Sub shall be merged with and into OpCo, the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and OpCo will be the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), (ii) the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of OpCo in effect as of the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time until thereafter amended as provided by law, (iii) the directors of OpCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation and the officers of OpCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case, immediately following the Effective Time and until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal in accordance with the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws; (iv) each share of OpCo Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted as set forth in Section 1.2; (v) each OpCo Option (as defined below) will be assumed by Holdings in accordance with Section 1.4.1; and (vi) each OpCo Warrant (as defined below) shall be assumed by Holdings in accordance with Section 1.4.2; (vii) all of the limited liability company interests in Holdings held by OpCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion or exchange thereof subject to and in accordance with Section 1.2 below; (viii) each share of Merger Sub Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted as set forth in Section 1.2 below; and (ix) the Merger will, from and after the Effective Time, have all of the effects provided by this Agreement and applicable law.

 

2


1.2 Conversion of Shares. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties hereto, the holders of any of the following securities or any other person or entity will have their securities converted as follows:

1.2.1 Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of OpCo Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares (as defined below), will be converted into the right to receive one (1) Holdings Common Unit.

1.2.2 Conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of OpCo Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive one (1) Holdings Series A Preferred Unit.

1.2.3 Conversion of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of OpCo Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive one (1) Holdings Series B Preferred Unit.

1.2.4 Conversion of Series C Preferred Stock. Each share of OpCo Series C Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive one (1) Holdings Series C Preferred Unit.

1.2.5 Conversion of Series C-2 Preferred Stock. Each share of OpCo Series C-2 Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Dissenting Shares, will be converted into the right to receive one (1) Holdings Series C Preferred Unit.

1.2.6 Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of Merger Sub Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation (“Surviving Corporation Common Stock”), and as such shall continue to be owned by Holdings and thereafter represent all of the then validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock. As a result, Holdings shall hold 9,000,000 shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time.

1.2.7 Cancellation of Holdings Units. The limited liability company interests in Holdings outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically, and without any action on the part of Holdings or any other person or entity, be canceled and extinguished and shall cease to exist without any conversion or exchange thereof and without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, provided, however, that OpCo shall continue and remain as a member of Holdings (having no Holdings Units or other limited liability company interest in Holdings) until such time (at or after the Effective Time) as any current holder of OpCo Stock is admitted to Holdings as a member of Holdings, whereupon simultaneously with such admission OpCo shall cease to be a member of Holdings.

 

3


1.3 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of OpCo Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held of record by a holder who has neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have made a proper demand in writing for appraisal of such shares of OpCo Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) in accordance with Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Holdings Units in accordance with Section 1.2, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares. At the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (through failure to perfect, effectively withdrawing or otherwise losing their rights to appraisal of such shares of OpCo Stock), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to have automatically been converted into and shall represent only the right to receive the applicable consideration, without interest thereon, promptly following the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of OpCo stock in accordance with Section 2.2.

1.4 Treatment of Opco Warrants and Stock Options.

1.4.1 Options. All outstanding stock options, whether vested or not, to purchase OpCo Common Stock, granted under the Valeritas, Inc. 2008 Amended and Restated Equity Compensation Plan (as amended, the “OpCo Option Plan”) that are not exercised or cancelled prior to the Effective Time (“OpCo Options”), will be assumed by Holdings. Each OpCo Option so assumed by Holdings under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable OpCo Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any vesting provisions), except that:

(a) each OpCo Option to purchase one (1) share of OpCo Common Stock will be converted automatically into an option to purchase one (1) Holdings Common Unit;

(b) the per unit exercise price for the Holdings Common Units issuable upon exercise of each assumed OpCo Option will be equal to the exercise price per share of OpCo Common Stock at which such OpCo Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(c) the OpCo Option Plan shall terminate automatically as of the Effective Time, and no new grants may be made under the OpCo Option Plan. However, the terms of the OpCo Option Plan (as adjusted to reflect the conversion in Section 1.4.1(a)) will continue govern the terms of the assumed OpCo Options. Should any of the assumed OpCo option awards expire or terminate unexercised, the Holdings Common Units subject to those awards at the time of expiration or termination shall not be available for subsequent award and issuance and shall be cancelled.

 

4


1.4.2 Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of OpCo Common Stock (each a “Common OpCo Warrant”) that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled without further action by the parties hereto or the holder thereof, and shall be of no further force or effect.

(b) At the Effective Time, each outstanding warrant to purchase shares of OpCo Series B Preferred Stock (each a “Series B OpCo Warrant”, and together with the Common OpCo Warrants, the “OpCo Warrants”), whether or not exercisable, will be assumed by Holdings. Each Series B OpCo Warrant so assumed by Holdings under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Series B OpCo Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any vesting provisions), except that (i) each Series B OpCo Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of Holdings Series B Preferred Units equal to the number of shares of OpCo Series B Preferred Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Series B OpCo Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) the per unit exercise price for the Holdings Series B Preferred Units issuable upon exercise of such assumed Series B OpCo Warrant will be equal to the exercise price per share of OpCo Series B Preferred Stock at which such Series B OpCo Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.5 Tax Free Transfer. The parties intend to adopt this Agreement as a tax- free transfer in accordance with the provisions of Section 721 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”). The parties believe that the value of the Holdings Common Units and Holdings Preferred Units to be received in the Merger is equal, in each instance, to the value of the OpCo Common Stock and OpCo Preferred Stock to be surrendered in exchange therefor. The Holdings Common Units and Holdings Preferred Units issued in the Merger will be issued solely in exchange for the OpCo Common Stock and OpCo Preferred Stock, and no other transaction other than the Merger represents, provides for or is intended to be an adjustment to, the consideration paid for the OpCo Common Stock and OpCo Preferred Stock. Except for Dissenting Shares, no consideration that would not constitute “partnership interest” within the meaning of Section 721 of the Code will be received in exchange for the OpCo Common Stock and OpCo Preferred Stock in the Merger. The parties shall not take a position on any tax returns inconsistent with this Section 1.5.

-16-


Series B PIK Units), combination, reclassification, or similar event affecting the Series B Preferred Units), then the Series B Conversion Rate in effect at such time for such Series B Preferred Unit shall be an amount equal to the greater of (x) a rate such that upon conversion of such Series B Preferred Unit (and each Series B PIK Unit received with respect to such Series B Preferred Unit prior to the Conversion Time) the holder thereof will receive a number of Common Units (when taken together with the Common Units to be received (or previously received) upon conversion of each Series B PIK Unit received with respect to such Series B Preferred Unit prior to the Conversion Time as if such Series B PIK Unit were also being converted at such Conversion Time) having an aggregate fair market value equal to $1.81929 per Unit (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of a Unit split, Unit distribution (other than Series B PIK Units), combination, reclassification, or similar event affecting the Series B Preferred Units) and (y) an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the Series B Invested Amount by (2) the Series B Conversion Price then in effect and the Series B Pre-Closing Accrued Amount and the Series B Accruing Distribution shall not be included in the calculation of the Series B Conversion Rate with respect to such Series B Preferred Unit.

(b) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Preferred Units shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into Common Units, such Member shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company, and shall give written notice to the Company at its principal office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for Common Units are to be issued. The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Preferred Units, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of Common Units to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificate or certificates for Preferred Units to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the Common Units issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of the Common Units as of such date (the “Conversion Time”).

(c) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Units for Certain Dilutive Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Preferred Units shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) (A) If the Company shall issue, on or after the date hereof, any Additional Units without consideration or for a consideration per Unit less than the Conversion Price applicable to a class of Preferred Units in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Units, the applicable Conversion Price for such Units in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (i)) be adjusted to a price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding (as defined below) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of Common Units that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such issuance would purchase at such Conversion Price; and the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Units Outstanding immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of such Additional Units. For purposes of this Section 2.10(c)(i)(A), the term “Common Units Outstanding” shall mean and include the following: (1) outstanding Common Units, (2) Common Units issuable upon

 

-18-


conversion of outstanding Preferred Units, including the Series C Accruing Distribution and Series B Accruing Distribution to the extent so included in accordance with Section 2.10(a), (3) Common Units issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and (4) Common Units issuable upon exercise (and, in the case of warrants to purchase Preferred Units, conversion) of outstanding warrants. Units described in (1) through (4) above shall be included whether vested or unvested, whether contingent or non-contingent and whether exercisable or not yet exercisable.

(B) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Preferred Units shall be made in an amount less than one cent per Unit, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and either shall be taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections (E)(3) and (E)(4), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2.10(c)(i) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(C) In the case of the issuance of Additional Units for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by the Company for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(D) In the case of the issuance of the Additional Units for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.

(E) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Units, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Units or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of Additional Units issued and the consideration paid therefor:

(1) The aggregate maximum number of Common Units deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Units shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner

 

-19-


provided in Sections 2.10(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)), if any, received by the Company upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the Common Units covered thereby.

(2) The aggregate maximum number of Common Units deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by the Company for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued distributions), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by the Company (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in Sections 2.10(c)(i)(C) and (c)(i)(D)).

(3) In the event of any change in the number of Common Units deliverable or in the consideration payable to the Company upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Units, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Units or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.

(4) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Preferred Units, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of Common Units (and convertible or exchangeable

 

-20-


securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.

(5) The number of Additional Units deemed issued and the consideration deemed paid therefor pursuant to Sections 2.10(c)(i)(E)(1) and (2) shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any change, termination or expiration of the type described in either Sections 2.10(c)(i)(E)(3) or (4).

(ii) In the event the Company should at any time or from time to time after the date hereof fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding Common Units or the determination of holders of Common Units entitled to receive a distribution payable in additional Common Units or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional Common Units (hereinafter referred to as “Common Unit Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the additional Common Units or the Common Unit Equivalents (including the additional Common Units issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Preferred Units shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of Common Units issuable on conversion of each Unit of such class shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of Common Units outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Unit Equivalents with the number of Units issuable with respect to Common Unit Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in Section 2.10(c)(i)(E).

(iii) If the number of Common Units outstanding at any time after the date hereof is decreased by a combination of the outstanding Common Units, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Units shall be appropriately increased so that the number of Common Units issuable on conversion of each Unit of such class shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Units.

(d) Other Distributions. In the event the Company shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other Persons, assets (excluding cash distributions) or options or rights not referred to in Section 2.10(c)(ii), then, in each such case for the purpose of this Section 2.10(d), the holders of the Preferred Units shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of Common Units into which their Preferred Units are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Units entitled to receive such distribution.

 

-21-


(e) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Units, provision shall be made so that the holders of the Preferred Units shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Preferred Units the number of Securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of the number of Common Units deliverable upon conversion of such Preferred Units immediately prior to such recapitalization would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 2.10 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Units after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 2.10 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of Units issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.

(f) No Impairment. The Company will not, without the appropriate required vote of the Members, by amendment of this Agreement or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, conversion, transfer, domestication, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 2.10 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Preferred Units against impairment.

(g) No Fractional Units and Certificate as to Adjustments.

(i) No fractional Units shall be issued upon the conversion of any Preferred Units and the aggregate number of Common Units to be issued to particular Unitholders shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Unit and the Company shall pay in cash the fair market value of any fractional Units as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractions is determined. Whether or not fractional Units would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of Preferred Units the holder is at the time converting into Common Units and the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Preferred Units a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Preferred Units, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such class of Preferred Units at the time in effect, and (C) the number of Common Units and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a Preferred Unit.

 

-22-


(h) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any distribution (other than a cash distribution), the Company shall mail to each holder of Preferred Units, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such distribution, and the amount and character of such distribution.

(i) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of any class of Preferred Units may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, (i) with respect to the Series C Preferred Units, by the consent or vote of the Series C Required Holders, (ii) with respect to the Series B Preferred Units, by the consent or vote of the Series B Required Holders and (iii) with respect to the Series A Preferred Units, by the consent or vote of the Series A Required Holders; provided, however, that with respect to any event that causes by operation of this Section 2.10 a downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Series B Preferred Units, any waiver by the Series B Required Holders of any such downward adjustment by the Series B Required Holders shall be binding upon and shall be deemed to waive any downward adjustment of the Series A Preferred Units caused by the same event. Any waiver of any downward adjustment of a Conversion Price shall bind all future holders of such class of Preferred Units affected thereby.

(j) Status of Converted Preferred Units. In the event any Preferred Units shall be converted pursuant to this Section 2.10, the Preferred Units so converted shall be cancelled and shall not be issuable by the Company.

(k) Adjustments Upon Conversion of Preferred Units. Upon any conversion of Preferred Units into Common Units in accordance with this Section 2.10, the following shall occur:

(i) The Preferred Unitholder shall be treated as having contributed to the Company with respect to the Common Unit or Units received in the conversion the balance such Unitholder had in its Capital Account to the extent attributable to the Preferred Unit or Units converted;

(ii) Immediately following the conversion, the Gross Asset Values of all of the Company’s assets shall be adjusted in accordance with subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”;

(iii) The conversion date shall be treated as the end of a fiscal year so that all Net Income and Net Loss (including the amount of any adjustment to the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets pursuant to clause (ii)) and other items specially allocable to the Members shall be allocated in accordance with Section 4.3; provided, however, that notwithstanding any provision of Section 4.3 to the contrary, Net Income and Net Loss attributable to any adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the Company’s assets pursuant to clause

 

-23-


(ii) shall first be allocated to the holders of the Preferred Units that were converted until the Capital Accounts of such Unitholders determined solely with respect to the Common Unit or Units issued upon the conversion equals such holders’ respective Target Balances determined solely with respect to such Common Unit or Units;

(iv) In the event that there is insufficient Net Income and the Net Loss attributable to the adjustment to the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets pursuant to clause (ii) to accomplish the allocation specified in the proviso to clause (iii), the Company shall (i) reallocate capital from the non-converting Unitholders to the holders of the Preferred Units that were converted until the Capital Accounts of the converting Unitholders with respect to the Common Unit or Units received upon the conversion equals such Unitholders’ respective Target Balances determined solely with respect to such Common Unit or Units and (ii) make “corrective allocations” of items of gross income or loss solely for income tax purposes in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s); and

(v) The Board shall make such other adjustments as it may in good faith determine may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Regulations pertaining to the treatment of “non-compensatory” options under Code Sections 721 and 704.

SECTION 2.11. Limited Liability Company Agreement. For administrative convenience, certain agreements among the Company and the Unitholders are set forth in the Voting Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, both of which, together with this Agreement, shall constitute the limited liability company agreement of the Company for purposes of the Act. To the extent any person listed on Schedule A has the right to receive units of limited liability company interest in the Company pursuant to the Merger but has not executed and delivered the Voting Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement (including pursuant to a joinder or a power of attorney or other authorization granted to an attorney in fact or agent under the Merger Agreement or other documents related thereto), such person’s acceptance of such units of limited liability company interest shall be deemed to constitute that person’s agreement to be bound by the Voting Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement. Upon written request from any Unitholder to the Company at its principal office, the Company shall supply to such Unitholder, copies of this Agreement, the Voting Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, free of charge.

SECTION 2.12. Unrelated Business Taxable Income, Trade and Business Income and Effectively Connected Income. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure it does not incur: (i) “unrelated business taxable income” within the meaning of Sections 511–514 of the Code; (ii) income derived from the conduct of a trade or business outside of the United States; or (iii) income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States, including gain from the disposition of a United States real property interest within the meaning of Section 897 of the Code.

(f) Exculpation.

Meetings of the Board may be held at such place or places as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board or, in the case of a special meeting of the Board, by the Person(s) calling the meeting as provided herein. At all meetings of the Board, business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board or, in the absence of such resolution, by the chairman of the meeting.

SECTION 3.5. Action by Written Consent or Telephone Conference.

SECTION 3.6. Officers.

(a) Designation and Appointment. The Board may, from time to time, employ and retain natural persons as may be necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Company’s business (subject to the supervision and control of the Board), including employees, agents and other Persons (any of whom may be a Manager) who may be designated as Officers of the Company, with titles including “Chief Executive Officer,” “Chief Operating Officer,” “General Counsel,” “President,” “Vice President,” “Treasurer,” “Secretary,” “Assistant Secretary,” and “Chief Financial Officer,” as and to the extent authorized by the Board. Any number of offices may be held by the same Person. In its discretion, the Board may choose not to fill any office for any period as it may deem advisable. Officers need not be residents of the State of Delaware or Members. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Each Officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Board.

(b) Resignation/Removal. Any Officer may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time is specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause at any time by the Board. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create any contractual or employment rights.

(c) Duties of Certain Officers. The Officers of the Company who are full-time employees of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Company duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a Delaware corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 3.7. Opco Board of Directors. For so long as the Company is a stockholder of Opco, the Company shall take all necessary action in its capacity as a stockholder of Opco to cause (a) the members of the board of directors of Opco to include the Series C Managers and the Series B Managers and (b) the notice, election and removal provisions in this Agreement for Managers to apply to such directors of Opco.

-28-


Each Member or Unitholder shall be liable only to make such Member’s or Unitholder’s initial Capital Contribution to the Company, if applicable, and the other payments provided expressly herein.

(b) Return of Distributions. In accordance with the Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a holder of a limited liability company interest may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such holder. To the fullest extent permitted by law, it is the intent of the Unitholders that no distribution to any Unitholder pursuant to Article IV hereof shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Unitholder shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of the Act, and the Unitholder receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Unitholder is obligated to make any such return or payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Unitholder and not of any Manager or other Unitholder.

SECTION 3.9. Indemnification by the Company.

To the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “General Corporation Law”) as if the Company were a Delaware corporation, the Company is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) agents of the Company (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law would permit the Company to provide indemnification if the Company were a Delaware corporation) through agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of Members or disinterested Managers or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law, subject only to limits created by applicable General Corporation Law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to the Company, the Members, and others.

Such indemnification shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any agreement, vote of Managers or Members or otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal

 

-29-


representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification under this Section 3.9 shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established.

Any amendment, repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.9 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Manager, Officer, agent, or other person existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any Manager with respect to any acts or omissions of such Manager, Officer or agent occurring prior to, such amendment, repeal or modification.

It is the intent of the Company that with respect to all advancement and indemnification obligations provided by the Company as referenced in this Section 3.9, the Company shall be the primary source of advancement, reimbursement and indemnification relative to any direct or indirect Member of the Company (or any affiliate of such Member, other than the Company or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries). The Company shall have no right to seek contribution, indemnity or other reimbursement for any of its obligations described in this Section 3.9 from any such Member or Unitholder of the Company (or any Affiliate of such Member or Unitholder, other than the Company or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries).

-33-


applicable, and any holder of a Unit who has not been admitted as a Member shall have no right to vote on, consent to, or approve any matter and shall not be taken into consideration in determining whether the vote, consent, or approval of the Members, the Unitholders, the Series A Required Holders, the Series B Required Holders or the Series C Required Holders, as applicable, has been obtained.

ARTICLE IV.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; ALLOCATIONS; DISTRIBUTIONS

SECTION 4.1. Capital Contributions. The Members and the Unitholders listed on Schedule A hereto on the date hereof are making on the date hereof the initial Capital Contributions to the Company described on Schedule C hereto. No Member or Unitholder shall be entitled (except as provided in Section 3 of the Investor Rights Agreement) to make any additional Capital Contributions without the approval of the Board or required to make any additional Capital Contributions without such Member’s express written agreement. In connection with any issuance of additional Units, the Board may accept such additional Capital Contributions as it determines in its discretion.

SECTION 4.2. Capital Accounts.

(a) Creation. There shall be established for each Unitholder on the books of the Company a Capital Account which shall be increased or decreased in the manner set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Negative Balance. A Unitholder shall not have any obligation to the Company or to any other Unitholder to restore any negative balance in the Capital Account of such Unitholder.

SECTION 4.3. Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss.

(a) Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each fiscal year of the Company as of the end of each such year or as circumstances otherwise require or allow. The Board shall allocate the Net Income and Net Loss among the Unitholders in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect to the provisions of this Agreement. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.3, an allocation to a Unitholder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss. For the avoidance of doubt, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Unitholders in a manner such that, after giving effect to the regulatory allocations set forth in Section 4.3(b), the Capital Account balance of each Unitholder, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Unitholder if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each

 

-34-


nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed, in accordance with Section 4.4(b) to the Unitholders immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Unitholder’s share of “partnership minimum gain” (determined in accordance with the principles of Regulations Section 1.704-2(d)) and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (determined in accordance with the principles of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)), computed immediately before the hypothetical sale of assets (for a Unitholder, the difference between the amount in clause (i) and the amount in clause (ii), the Unitholder’s “Target Balance”).

(b) Regulatory Allocations. Provisions governing the allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (and items thereof) are included in this Agreement as may be necessary to provide that the Company’s allocation provisions contain a so-called “qualified income offset” and comply with all provisions relating to the allocation of so-called “nonrecourse deductions” and “partner nonrecourse deductions” and the chargeback thereof as set forth in the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code.

(c) Allocations upon Transfer. For any fiscal year during which a Unitholder’s Unit(s) in the Company is assigned by such Unitholder, the portion of the Net Income and Net Loss of the Company that is allocable in respect of such Unitholder’s Unit(s) shall be apportioned between the assignor and the assignee of such Unitholder’s Unit(s) using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Regulations thereunder, as determined by the Board.

(d) Required Tax Allocations. All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated to each Unitholder in the same manner as the Net Income or Net Loss (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction related thereto) that is allocated to such Unitholder pursuant to Section 4.3(a), (b) and (c) to which such tax items relate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.3, income, gain, loss, deduction, and credits with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Unitholder shall be allocated among the Unitholders for federal and state income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes of the property to the Company and its initial Gross Asset Value at the time of contribution. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b), (c), or (d) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credits with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.3(d) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, other tax items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

-35-


(e) Unitholders’ Tax Reporting. The Unitholders acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 4.3 and, except as may otherwise be required by applicable law or regulatory requirements, hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of Section 4.3 in reporting their shares of Company income, gain, loss, deductions, and credits for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

SECTION 4.4. Distributions.

(a) Timing and Valuation. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.4(e), Distributable Assets shall be distributed by the Company only upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event; provided that Additional Consideration with respect to a Liquidation Event and any Distributable Assets that are not Cash shall not be distributed upon the occurrence of a Liquidation Event and any Cash generated with respect thereto shall be distributed by the Company as soon as practicable after the receipt thereof by the Company.

(b) Priority in Distributions. Subject to Section 4.4(e), in connection with any Liquidation Event or the distribution of Distributable Assets, all of the proceeds of such Liquidation Event or such Distributable Assets, as the case may be, shall be distributed as follows:

(i) First, to the holders of the outstanding Series C Preferred Units on a pro rata basis (determined by reference to the undistributed Series C Liquidation Amount with respect to the Series C Preferred Units held by each such holder) until the aggregate cumulative amount distributed with respect to each Series C Preferred Unit pursuant to this clause (i) equals the Series C Liquidation Amount;

(ii) Second, to the holders of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units on a pro rata basis (determined by reference to the undistributed Series B Liquidation Amount with respect to the Series B Preferred Units held by each such holder) until the aggregate cumulative amount distributed with respect to each Series B Preferred Unit pursuant to this clause (ii) equals the Series B Liquidation Amount;

(iii) Third, to the holders of the outstanding Series A Preferred Units on a pro rata basis (determined by reference to the undistributed Series A Liquidation Amount with respect to the Series A Preferred Units held by each such holder) until the aggregate cumulative amount distributed with respect to each Series A Preferred Unit pursuant to this clause (iii) equals the Series A Liquidation Amount; and

(iv) Fourth, thereafter, all of the remaining Distributable Assets shall be distributed to the holders of the Common Units on a pro rata basis determined by reference to the number of such Common Units held by each such holder.

 

-36-


(c) Allocation of Escrow. In the case of a Liquidation Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the Unitholders is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the Unitholders subject to contingencies (the “Additional Consideration”), the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Section 4.4(b) as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidation Event and any Additional Consideration which becomes payable to the Unitholders upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Section 4.4(b) above after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

(d) Successors. For purposes of determining the amount of distributions under this Section 4.4, each Unitholder shall be treated as having received amounts received by its predecessors and any prior holders of such Units in respect of any of such Unitholder’s Units.

(e) Tax Distributions. To the extent there is taxable income and cash is available, the Board shall cause the Company to make a tax distribution in cash no later than the 15th day of March of each year to each Unitholder (whether or not such Unitholder or such Unitholder’s investors are tax exempt) in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the product of (A) the cumulative taxable income allocable to such Unitholder (including any guaranteed payments for services that are not actually received by such Unitholder in cash and including any required tax allocations to such Unitholder under Section 4.3(d) hereof pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code) in excess of the cumulative taxable loss allocable to such Unitholder for all taxable years prior to the year in which such distribution is being made, as estimated in good faith by the Board and (B) the combined maximum federal, state and local marginal income tax rate (taking into account the deductibility of state and local taxes for federal income tax purposes and adjusted appropriately to take into account the varying rates applicable to capital gains, qualified dividend income and ordinary income) applicable to individual residents of New York, New York, or such other rate as determined by the Board in its good faith discretion, over (ii) all prior distributions pursuant to this Section 4.4. Tax distributions to a Unitholder shall be offset against and reduce the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions which such Unitholder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to this Agreement. To the extent that an amount otherwise distributable to a Unitholder is so applied, it shall be treated for all purposes hereof as if such amount had actually been distributed to such Unitholder pursuant to this Agreement.

(f) Accruing Distributions. On or after a Liquidation Event, the Series C Accruing Distribution shall be paid when and if declared by the Board by delivering to the holders of Series C Preferred Units a number of Series C Preferred Units (“Series C PIK Units”) with respect to each Series C Preferred Unit held by such holder equal to (i) the amount of the Series C Accruing Distribution accrued and unpaid thereon, divided by (ii) the Series C Invested Amount. On or after a Liquidation Event, the Series B Accruing Distribution shall be paid when and if declared by the Board by delivering to the holders of Series B Preferred Units a number of Series B Preferred Units (“Series B

 

-37-


PIK Units”) with respect to each Series B Preferred Unit held by such holder equal to (i) the amount of the Series B Accruing Distribution accrued and unpaid thereon, divided by (ii) the Series B Invested Amount.

(g) Limitations on Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to a Member or Unitholder on account of its Units if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.

SECTION 4.5. Right of Set-Off. The Company shall have a right of setoff against all distributions of Distributable Assets in the amount of any withholding tax or other liability or obligation to which the Company or a Subsidiary may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Unitholder, or to which the Company or a Subsidiary may become subject with respect to the interest of any Unitholder. The Company may withhold distributions or portions thereof if it is required to do so by the Code or any other provision of federal, state or local tax or other law. Any amount withheld pursuant to the Code or any other provision of federal, state or local tax or other law with respect to any distribution to a Unitholder shall be treated as an amount distributed to such Unitholder for all purposes under this Agreement. Each Unitholder agrees to indemnify the Company in full for any amounts paid by the Company to a governmental entity or regulatory authority that are specifically attributable to a Unitholder or a Unitholder’s status as such (including, without limitation, any interest, penalties and expenses associated with such payments), and each Unitholder shall promptly upon notification of an obligation to indemnify the Company pursuant to this Section 4.5 make a cash payment to the Company equal to the full amount to be indemnified with interest to accrue on any portion of such cash payment not paid in full, as reasonably determined by the Company, when requested by the Company. A Unitholder’s obligation to indemnify and make contributions to the Company under this Section 4.5 shall survive the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Company, and for purposes of this Section 4.5, the Company shall be treated as continuing in existence. To the extent that a Unitholder makes contributions to the Company under this Section 4.5, it shall receive no net credit to its Capital Account.

ARTICLE V.

SECOND: That the Board of Directors duly adopted resolutions proposing to amend and restate the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, declaring said amendment and restatement to be advisable and in the best interests of this corporation and its stockholders, and authorizing the appropriate officers of this corporation to solicit the consent of the stockholders therefor, which resolution setting forth the proposed amendment and restatement is as follows:

RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

ARTICLE I

The name of this corporation is Valeritas, Inc.


ARTICLE II

The address of the registered office of this corporation in the State of Delaware is Corporation Trust Center, 1209 Orange Street, in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, Delaware 19801. The name of its registered agent at such address is The Corporation Trust Company.

ARTICLE III

The nature of the business or purposes of this corporation to be conducted or promoted is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law.

ARTICLE IV

A. Authorization of Stock. This corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock to be designated, respectively, common stock and preferred stock. The total number of shares that this corporation is authorized to issue is fifty six million (56,000,000). The total number of shares of common stock authorized to be issued is fifty million (50,000,000), par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The total number of shares of preferred stock authorized to be issued is six million (6,000,000) shares, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), all of which shares are designated as “Series D Preferred Stock”.

B. Rights, Preferences and Restrictions of Preferred Stock. The rights, powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(B).

1. Dividend Provisions.

(a) Series D Accruing Dividends. From and after the Original Issue Date, dividends shall accrue on each issued share of Series D Preferred Stock at the rate per annum of 8% of the sum of (x) the Series D Invested Amount (as defined below) and (y) accrued and unpaid dividends on such share compounded semi-annually (the “Series D Accruing Dividends”). The Series D Accruing Dividends shall accrue on the Series D Preferred Stock from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative. The Series D Accruing Dividends shall be paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors of this corporation (the “Board”) by delivering to the record holders of Series D Preferred Stock a number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock (“Series D PIK Shares”) with respect to each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by such holder equal to (i) the amount of the Series D Accruing Dividends accrued and unpaid thereon, divided by (ii) the Series D Invested Amount. The holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any other dividends with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock, whether payable in cash, property, or stock, other than in accordance with this subsection 1(a).

(b) Other Dividends. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as, and if declared by the Board, but only out of any assets legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board; provided, however, no dividends shall be paid on the Common Stock so long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock remain outstanding.

 

2


2. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Series D Preference. In the event of any Liquidation Event, either voluntary or involuntary, the holders of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of the proceeds of such Liquidation Event (the “Proceeds”) to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount (the “Series D Liquidation Amount”) per share equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Series D Invested Amount, plus the Series D Accruing Dividends accrued through the date of such Liquidation Event but unpaid thereon, whether or not declared or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had each such share been converted into Common Stock pursuant to subsection 3A(a)(i) immediately prior to such Liquidation Event. If, upon the occurrence of such event, the Proceeds thus distributed among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Series D Liquidation Amount, then the entire Proceeds legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock in proportion to the full preferential amount that each such holder is otherwise entitled to receive under this subsection 2(a).

(b) Remaining Proceeds. After the payment in full of the Series D Liquidation Amount, the remaining Proceeds available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of shares of Common Stock, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each such holder.

(c) Certain Definitions; Fair Market Value Determination.

(i) For purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the following definitions shall apply:

(A) “Filing Date” shall mean the date of filing and effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

3


transferee pursuant to an exempt transfer under Section 5(d) of the Voting Agreement as amended from time to time (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement) by and among this corporation and certain stockholders party thereto, dated on or about the Filing Date, as may be amended from time to time), of this corporation’s then outstanding securities if, after such closing, such person or group of affiliated persons would hold 50% or more of the outstanding voting stock of this corporation (or the surviving or acquiring entity) or (4) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation; provided, however, that a transaction shall not constitute a Liquidation Event if its sole purpose is to change the state of this corporation’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held this corporation’s securities immediately prior to such transaction. The treatment of any particular transaction or series of related transactions as a Liquidation Event may be waived only with the vote or written consent of the Required Holders.

(D) “Original Issue Date” shall mean the date on which the first share of Series D Preferred Stock authorized herein is issued.

(E) “Required Holders” shall mean the holders of at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the then outstanding shares of Series D Preferred Stock on an as converted to Common Stock basis.

(G) “Stock Purchase Agreement” shall mean the Series D Stock Purchase Agreement dated on or about the Filing Date.

(ii) Fair Market Value. In any Liquidation Event, if Proceeds received by this corporation or its stockholders is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value. Any securities shall be valued as follows:

(A) Securities not subject to investment letter or other similar restrictions on free marketability covered by (B) below:

(1) If traded on a securities exchange or through the NASDAQ Global Market, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing prices of the securities on such exchange or system over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event;

(2) If actively traded over-the-counter, the value shall be deemed to be the average of the closing bid or sale prices (whichever is applicable) over the twenty (20) trading-day period ending three (3) trading days prior to the closing of the Liquidation Event; and

(3) If there is no active public market, the value shall be the fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation (by action of the Board) and the Required Holders.

 

4


(B) The method of valuation of securities subject to investment letter or other restrictions on free marketability (other than restrictions arising solely by virtue of a stockholder’s status as an affiliate or former affiliate) shall be to make an appropriate discount from the market value determined as above in (A) (1), (2) or (3) to reflect the approximate fair market value thereof, as mutually determined by this corporation (by action of the Board) and the Required Holders.

(C) The foregoing methods for valuing non-cash consideration to be distributed in connection with a Liquidation Event shall, upon approval by the stockholders of the definitive agreements governing a Liquidation Event, be superseded by any determination of such value set forth in the definitive agreements governing such Liquidation Event.

(d) Compliance. In the event the requirements of this Section 2 are not complied with, this corporation shall forthwith either:

(i) cause the closing of such Liquidation Event to be postponed until such time as the requirements of this Section 2 have been complied with; or

(ii) cancel such transaction, in which event the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the Preferred Stock shall revert to and be the same as such rights, preferences and privileges existing immediately prior to the date of the first notice referred to in subsection 2(e) hereof.

(e) Notice. This corporation shall give each holder of record of Preferred Stock written notice of such impending Liquidation Event not later than twenty (20) days prior to the stockholders’ meeting called to approve such transaction, or twenty (20) days prior to the closing of such transaction, whichever is earlier, and shall also notify such holders in writing of the final approval of such transaction. The first of such notices shall describe the material terms and conditions of the impending transaction and the provisions of this Section 2, and this corporation shall thereafter give such holders prompt notice of any material changes. The transaction shall in no event take place sooner than twenty (20) days after this corporation has given the first notice provided for herein or sooner than ten (10) days after this corporation has given notice of any material changes provided for herein; provided, however, that subject to compliance with the General Corporation Law such periods may be shortened or waived upon the written consent of the Required Holders.

(f) Allocation of Escrow. In the case of a Liquidation Event, if any portion of the consideration payable to the stockholders of this corporation is placed into escrow and/or is payable to the stockholders of this corporation subject to contingencies, the portion of such consideration that is not placed in escrow and not subject to any contingencies (the “Initial Consideration”) shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of this corporation in accordance with subsections 2(a) and (b) above as if the Initial Consideration were the only consideration payable in connection with such Liquidation Event and any additional consideration which becomes payable to the stockholders of this corporation upon release from escrow or satisfaction of contingencies shall be allocated among the holders of capital stock of this corporation in accordance with subsections 2(a) and (b) above after taking into account the previous payment of the Initial Consideration as part of the same transaction.

3. Conversion.

3A. Conversion Rights.

(a) Right to Convert; Conversion Rate. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share, at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined in accordance with the procedures described in subsections 3A(a) and (c).

(i) Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted into such number of shares of Common Stock as is determined by multiplying one share of Series D Preferred Stock by the Series D Conversion Rate. The “Series D Conversion Rate” in effect at any time shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) an amount equal to the value of the Series D Invested Amount plus the Series D Accruing Dividends accrued and unpaid through the Conversion Time (as defined below), whether declared or not, by (y) the Series D Conversion Price then in effect. On the Filing Date, the “Series D Conversion Price” per share shall be the Series D Invested Amount. Such initial Series D Conversion Price, and the rate at which shares of Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, shall be subject to adjustment as provided below.

(ii) Fair market value of a share of Common Stock shall be valued as follows:

(A) In the case of a Liquidation Event, the aggregate amount to be received with respect to a share of Common Stock pursuant to subsection 2;

(B) In the case of an underwritten offering of securities registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (1) with respect to the IPO, the Offer Price (as defined below) and (2) with respect to any other underwritten offering, the offering price with respect thereto; and

(C) In any other circumstances, the fair market value thereof, as determined by the Board and the Required Holders; provided that if the Board and the Required Holders cannot agree on a fair market value within 15 days of the written notice to this corporation from a holder of Series D Preferred Stock that it wishes to convert any of its shares of Preferred Stock, then this corporation shall engage an investment banking firm or valuation firm (the “Independent Valuation Firm”) to determine such fair market value (this corporation shall request that the Independent Valuation Firm use its reasonable best efforts to determine such fair market value within thirty (30) days of its appointment).

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the then applicable

 

6


Conversion Rate upon the earlier of (i) immediately prior to the closing of this corporation’s IPO pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (as defined below) or (ii) such other date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the Required Holders (immediately prior to the closing of such IPO or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time” and such conversion is referred to as a “Mandatory Conversion”). In the case of any such automatic conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock in connection with an IPO where the Offer Price (as defined below in subsection (d)(ii)) is less than the Conversion Price then applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock (appropriately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar type transactions or occurrences), then prior to such automatic conversion the applicable Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (d)(ii).

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to voluntarily convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he or she shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series D Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series D Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date (the “Conversion Time”). Upon a Mandatory Conversion, each holder of record of Series D Preferred Stock converted pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3B shall be sent written notice of such Mandatory Conversion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, need not be sent in advance of the Mandatory Conversion Time) at each such holder’s respective address as it appears on the transfer books of this corporation; provided, however, that neither the failure to provide such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the Mandatory Conversion. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock converted pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 3B shall be converted into shares of Common Stock automatically at the Mandatory Conversion Time without regard to whether certificates representing such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been surrendered. Upon receipt of written notice of the Mandatory Conversion, each holder of record of shares of Series D Preferred Stock so converted shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to this corporation to indemnify this corporation against any claim that may be made against this corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to this corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by this corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to this corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series D Preferred Stock so converted, this corporation shall issue

 

7


and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof.

(d) Conversion Price Adjustments of Preferred Stock for Certain Issuances, Splits and Combinations. The Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:

(i) Subject to subsection 3A(d)(ii), if this corporation shall issue, on or after the Original Issue Date, any Additional Stock (as defined below) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for such shares in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to the consideration per share received by this corporation for such issue or deemed issue of the Additional Stock.

(ii) If this corporation shall, while there are any shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding, propose to issue or sell shares of this corporation’s capital stock in an IPO and files a registration statement in connection with such IPO (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement has an estimated price range, the mid-point of which is less than the Conversion Price applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the filing of such Registration Statement (in each case as adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, subdivisions, recapitalizations or the like) (the “Offer Price”), the Conversion Price for such shares in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the IPO shall be reduced to a price equal to the Offer Price. The Offer Price used for calculating any adjustment to the Conversion Price then applicable to the Series D Preferred Stock shall be the mid-point of the estimated price range initially disclosed in such Registration Statement and no subsequent adjustments to the estimated price range shall modify the Offer Price for purposes of this subsection 3A(d)(ii); provided, however, in the event that (x) this corporation and the managing underwriters thereafter agree to file a revised estimated price range in the Registration Statement and (y) the mid-point of such revised price range (the “Revised Offer Price”) is less than the initial Offer Price, then the Revised Offer Price shall be the applicable Offer Price for purposes of calculating the Conversion Price adjustment under this subsection 3A(d)(ii). Any adjustment to the applicable Conversion Price resulting from this subsection 3A(d)(ii) shall be effective immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (and if such IPO is never consummated, the aforementioned adjustment shall be deemed null and void).

(iii) No adjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series D Preferred Stock shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments that are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made prior to three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward, or shall be made at the end of three (3) years from the date of the event giving rise to the adjustment being carried forward. Except to the limited extent provided for in subsections 3A(d)(vi)(C) and 3A(d)(vi)(D), no adjustment of such Conversion Price pursuant to this subsection 3A(d)(iii) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(iv) In the case of the issuance of Additional Stock for cash, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of cash paid therefor before deducting any reasonable discounts, commissions or other expenses allowed, paid or incurred by this corporation for any underwriting or otherwise in connection with the issuance and sale thereof.

(v) In the case of the issuance of the Additional Stock for a consideration in whole or in part other than cash, the consideration other than cash shall be deemed to be the fair market value thereof as determined by the Board irrespective of any accounting treatment.

(vi) In the case of the issuance of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock, securities by their terms convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities, the following provisions shall apply for purposes of determining the number of shares of Additional Stock issued and the consideration paid therefor:

(A) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon exercise (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, including without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) of such options to purchase or rights to subscribe for Common Stock shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration (determined in the manner provided in subsections 3A(d)(iv) and (v)), if any, received by this corporation upon the issuance of such options or rights plus the minimum exercise price provided in such options or rights (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for the Common Stock covered thereby.

(B) The aggregate maximum number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of, or in exchange (assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to convertibility or exchangeability, including, without limitation, the passage of time, but without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) for, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase or rights to subscribe for such convertible or exchangeable securities and subsequent conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the time such securities were issued or such options or rights were issued and for a consideration equal to the consideration, if any, received by this corporation for any such securities and related options or rights (excluding any cash received on account of accrued interest or accrued dividends), plus the minimum additional consideration, if any, to be received by this corporation (without taking into account potential anti-dilution adjustments) upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or the exercise of any related options or rights (the consideration in each case to be determined in the manner provided in subsections 3A(d)(iv) and (v)).

(C) In the event of any change in the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable or in the consideration payable to this corporation upon exercise of such options or rights or upon conversion of or in exchange for such convertible or

 

9


exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities, shall be recomputed to reflect such change, but no further adjustment shall be made for the actual issuance of Common Stock or any payment of such consideration upon the exercise of any such options or rights or the conversion or exchange of such securities.

(D) Upon the expiration of any such options or rights, the termination of any such rights to convert or exchange or the expiration of any options or rights related to such convertible or exchangeable securities, the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock, to the extent in any way affected by or computed using such options, rights or securities or options or rights related to such securities, shall be recomputed to reflect the issuance of only the number of shares of Common Stock (and convertible or exchangeable securities that remain in effect) actually issued upon the exercise of such options or rights, upon the conversion or exchange of such securities or upon the exercise of the options or rights related to such securities.

(vii) “Additional Stock” shall mean any shares of Common Stock issued (or deemed to have been issued pursuant to subsection 3A(d)(vi)) by this corporation after the Original Issue Date other than:

(A) Common Stock issued pursuant to a transaction described in subsection 3A(d)(viii) hereof;

(B) Common Stock issued to employees, directors, consultants and other service providers for the primary purpose of soliciting or retaining their services pursuant to plans or agreements approved by this corporation’s Board (including options granted prior to the Filing Date);

(C) Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, Common Stock issued upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, and the Series D PIK Shares;

(D) Common Stock issued in connection with a bona fide business acquisition of or by this corporation, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets, sale or exchange of stock or otherwise; or

(E) Common Stock issued or deemed issued pursuant to subsection 3A(d)(vi) as a result of a decrease in the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock resulting from the operation of Section 3A(d).

(viii) In the event this corporation should at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date fix a record date for the effectuation of a split or subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly, additional shares of Common Stock (hereinafter referred to as “Common Stock Equivalents”) without payment of any consideration by such holder for the

 

10


additional shares of Common Stock or the Common Stock Equivalents (including the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof), then, as of such record date (or the date of such dividend distribution, split or subdivision if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price of the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately decreased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be increased in proportion to such increase of the aggregate of shares of Common Stock outstanding and those issuable with respect to such Common Stock Equivalents with the number of shares issuable with respect to Common Stock Equivalents determined from time to time in the manner provided for deemed issuances in subsection 3A(d)(vi).

(ix) If the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any time after the Original Issue Date is decreased by a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, then, following the record date of such combination, the Conversion Price for the Preferred Stock shall be appropriately increased so that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of each share of such series shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares.

(e) Other Distributions. In the event this corporation shall declare a distribution payable in securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by this corporation or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights not referred to in subsection 3A(d)(iv), then, in each such case for the purpose of this subsection 3A(e), the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of this corporation into which their shares of Series D Preferred Stock are convertible as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of this corporation entitled to receive such distribution.

(f) Recapitalizations. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 3 or in Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of this corporation or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 3 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 3 (including adjustment of the Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalently as may be practicable.

(g) No Impairment. This corporation will not, without the appropriate vote of the stockholders under the General Corporation Law or Section 5 of this Article IV(B), by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good

 

11


faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of conversion of the holders of the Series D Preferred Stock against impairment.

(h) No Fractional Shares and Certificate as to Adjustments.

(i) No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series D Preferred Stock under Section 3, and the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to particular stockholders, shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share and the corporation shall pay in cash the fair market value of any fractional shares as of the time when entitlement to receive such fractions is determined. Whether or not fractional shares would be issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.

(ii) Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price of Series D Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 3, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series D Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (A) such adjustment and readjustment, (B) the Conversion Price for such series of Series D Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (C) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series D Preferred Stock.

(i) Notices of Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Series D Preferred Stock, at least ten (10) days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution, and the amount and character of such dividend or distribution.

(j) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series D Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series D Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of any necessary amendment to this Certificate of Incorporation.

 

12


(k) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 3 to be given to the holders of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation.

(l) Waiver of Adjustment to Conversion Price. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any downward adjustment of the Conversion Price of the Series D Preferred Stock may be waived, either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance, by the consent or vote of the Required Holders.

(m) Status of Converted Stock. In the event any shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to this Section 3, the shares so converted shall be retired and cancelled and shall not be issuable by this corporation. This Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation shall be appropriately amended (without the need for stockholder action) to effect the corresponding reduction in this corporation’s authorized capital stock.

3B. Special Mandatory Conversion.

(a) Trigger Event. If the conditions set forth in Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(c), as applicable, of the Stock Purchase Agreement with respect to a Qualifying Series D Investor’s obligation to fund its Second Closing Commitment have been satisfied and such Qualifying Series D Investor does not purchase its Second Closing Commitment in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 1.2(b) or (c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement, as applicable, each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by such Qualifying Series D Investor shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of such Qualifying Series D Investor, be converted into one-tenth (1/10) of a share of Common Stock, with cash issued in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock in accordance with subsection 3A(h) of Article IV(B) hereof, effective upon, subject to, and concurrently with, the consummation of the Second Closing or the IPO, as applicable (the “Special Mandatory Conversion Time”). Such conversion is referred to as a “Special Mandatory Conversion.”

(b) Procedural Requirements. Upon a Special Mandatory Conversion, each Qualifying Series D Investor converted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3B shall be sent written notice of such Special Mandatory Conversion (which, for the avoidance of doubt, need not be sent in advance of the Special Mandatory Conversion Time) at each such Qualifying Series D Investor’s respective address as it appears on the transfer books of this corporation, provided, however, that neither failure to provide such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the validity of the Special Mandatory Conversion. The shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by such Qualifying Series D Investor converted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3B shall be converted into shares of Common Stock automatically at the Special Mandatory Conversion Time without regard to whether certificates representing such shares of Series D Preferred Stock have been surrendered. Upon receipt of written notice of the Special Mandatory Conversion, each Qualifying Series D Investor whose shares of Series D Preferred

 

13


Stock are so converted shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to this corporation to indemnify this corporation against any claim that may be made against this corporation on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to this corporation at the place designated in such notice. If so required by this corporation, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to this corporation, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Series D Preferred Stock converted pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 3B, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the time of the Special Mandatory Conversion (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates for such shares at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates therefor (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement), to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this subsection (b) of this Section 3B. As soon as practicable after the Special Mandatory Conversion and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Series D Preferred Stock so converted, this corporation shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof. Such converted Series D Preferred Stock shall be retired and cancelled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and this corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series D Preferred Stock accordingly.

(c) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 3B, the following definitions shall apply: (i) all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section 3B shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Stock Purchase Agreement; and (ii) “Qualifying Series D Investor” shall mean each holder of Series D Preferred Stock listed on Schedule I to the Stock Purchase Agreement with a Second Closing Commitment.

4. Voting Rights.

(a) General Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to one vote for each share of Common Stock into which such Series D Preferred Stock could then be converted (without taking into account any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon), and with respect to such vote, such holder shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision hereof, to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, and shall be entitled to vote, together with holders of Common Stock, with respect to any question upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as converted to Common Stock basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series D Preferred Stock held by each holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward).

 

14


(b) Voting for the Election of Directors. The Board shall consist of a total of no more than nine (9) directors. The holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and Series D Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class, shall elect directors of this corporation in accordance with the Voting Agreement. Each holder of shares of Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders’ meeting as provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, as well as notice, in accordance with the Bylaws of this corporation, of all stockholder actions taken by legally available means in lieu of meeting, and shall vote together with holders of Common Stock upon any matter submitted to a vote of stockholders, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a vote of any class or series, voting as a separate class or series. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted, and any fractions shall be disregarded in computing voting rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 223(a)(1) and 223(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law, vacancies created by removal or resignation of a director, may only be filled in accordance with the Voting Agreement. A director may be removed during his or her term of office, either with or without cause, so long as any such removal is consummated in accordance with the Voting Agreement.

5. Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Series D Preferred Stock are outstanding, this corporation shall not (by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise) without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent, as provided by law) of the Required Holders:

(a) alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of Series D Preferred Stock so as to affect adversely such shares;

(b) increase or decrease (other than by conversion of the Preferred Stock) the total number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock;

(c) authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, any equity security (including any other security convertible into or exercisable for any such equity security), other than (i) the issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock with respect to Series D Accruing Dividends, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion, if any, of the Series D Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Section 3 and (iii) the issuance of shares of Series D Preferred Stock in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement;

(d) amend, alter or repeal any provision of this corporation’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws;

(e) redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire (or pay into or set aside for a sinking fund for such purpose) any share or shares of capital stock of this corporation; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock (i) from employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for this corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to agreements under which this corporation has the option to repurchase such shares upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the termination of employment or service, or pursuant to a right of first refusal or (ii) that are outstanding as of the Filing Date;

 

15


(f) acquire or merge with another entity or enter into any other material transaction involving the acquisition of the assets of such entity;

(g) sell, assign, license or otherwise dispose (in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) material technology, intellectual property and other material assets of this corporation, other than licenses granted in the ordinary course of business;

(h) make any material change in the nature of this corporation’s business from that conducted as of the Filing Date; provided that a collaboration, license, marketing or other similar agreement or strategic partnership with a strategic investor with regards to this corporation’s products in development as of the Filing Date shall not constitute a material change to this corporation’s business;

(i) incur, create, guarantee or authorize the creation of any indebtedness in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate;

(j) make any loan or advance in excess of $100,000 to any other corporation, partnership, or other third party, unless such entity is wholly owned by this corporation; or

(k) enter into material transactions with affiliates of this corporation or enter into any other transaction described in Section 144 of the General Corporation Law, except for (i) transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, (ii) the issuance of equity securities made in accordance with Section 3 of the Investor Rights Agreement as amended from time to time (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), (iii) transactions entered into the ordinary course of business with any employee of the Company and (iv) transactions among this corporation and subsidiaries of this corporation.

6. Redemption. The Series D Preferred Stock are not redeemable at the option of the holder.

C. Common Stock. The powers, designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other rights and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to and imposed on the Common Stock are as set forth below in this Article IV(C).

1. Dividend Rights. Subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes of stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, the holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of any assets of this corporation legally available therefor, any dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board.

2. Liquidation Rights. Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, the assets of this corporation shall be distributed as provided in Section 2 of Article IV(B) hereof.

3. Redemption. The Common Stock is not redeemable at the option of the holder.

4. Voting Rights.

ARTICLE IX

A director of this corporation shall not be personally liable to this corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to this corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived any improper personal benefit. If the General Corporation Law is amended after approval by the stockholders of this Article IX to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of this corporation shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law as so amended.

Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article IX by the stockholders of this corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of this corporation existing at the time of, or increase the liability of any director of this corporation with respect to any acts or omissions of such director occurring prior to, such repeal or modification.

 

17


ARTICLE X

This corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, this corporation is authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses to) agents of this corporation (and any other persons to which General Corporation Law permits this corporation to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such agents or other persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, in excess of the indemnification and advancement otherwise permitted by Section 145 of the General Corporation Law, subject only to limits created by applicable General Corporation Law (statutory or non-statutory), with respect to actions for breach of duty to this corporation, its stockholders, and others.

Without limiting the foregoing, this corporation shall, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time under the law of the State of Delaware, indemnify and upon request advance expenses to any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was or has agreed to be a director of this corporation or while a director is or was serving at the request of this corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of any corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement incurred (and not otherwise recovered) in connection with the investigation, preparation to defend or defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require this corporation to indemnify or advance expenses to any person in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim or counterclaim initiated by or on behalf of such person. Such indemnification shall not be exclusive of other indemnification rights arising under any by-law, agreement, vote of directors or stockholders or otherwise and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs and legal representatives of such person. Any person seeking indemnification under this Article XI shall be deemed to have met the standard of conduct required for such indemnification unless the contrary shall be established.

SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS SERIES D PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the [19th] day of June, 2014, by and among Valeritas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investors listed on Schedule I hereto (each of which is herein referred to as an “Investor”).

WHEREAS, effective as of June [17], 2014, the Company restructured its capitalization through the merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary of Valeritas Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”) into the Company pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated June 9, 2014 (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings, and the holders of capital stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger became holders of units of limited liability company interest in Holdings;

WHEREAS, following the effective time of the Merger, the Company authorized the sale and issuance of up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of newly authorized Preferred Stock of the Company, par value $0.00001 per share, designated as “Series D Preferred Stock” (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Investors desire to purchase the Shares set forth opposite each Investor’s name on Schedule I on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell the Shares to the Investors on the terms and conditions set forth herein;

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. Purchase and Sale of Shares

1.1 Sale and Issuance of Series D Preferred Stock.

(a) The Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of Delaware on or before the Initial Closing (as defined below) the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Restated Certificate”).

(b) On or prior to the Initial Closing, the Company shall have authorized (i) the sale and issuance to the Investors of the Shares and (ii) the issuance of the shares of Common Stock of the Company to be issued upon conversion of the Shares (the “Conversion Shares”), in each case as set forth herein. The Shares and the Conversion Shares shall have the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions set forth in the Restated Certificate.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Investor agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase at the applicable Closing (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and (b) and the Company agrees to sell, issue and deliver to each Investor at such Closing, at a purchase price per share of $10.00, that number of Shares set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Schedule I hereto, in consideration of the cash to be paid by such Investors, as set forth on Schedule I hereto.


1.2 Closing.

(a) Initial Closing. On the date hereof, or at such other time and place as the Company and Investors acquiring in the aggregate at least a majority of the Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement (which majority shall include WCAS Valeritas Holdings, LLC (“WCAS”)) agree upon in writing (which time is designated as the “Initial Closing”), the Company shall sell, subject to and on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, a total of 2,500,000 Shares to the Investors in accordance with Schedule I hereto. At the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate or certificates representing the Shares that such Investor is purchasing against payment of the purchase price therefor by cash in immediately available funds.

(b) Second Closing. Following the Initial Closing, on the earliest of (i) October 15, 2014, (ii) within ten (10) business days of the date on which the Company files a registration statement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and such registration statement has an estimated price range, and (iii) such time as the Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares (which majority shall include WCAS) agree upon in writing (which time is designated as the “Second Closing”), the Company shall sell, subject to and on the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, up to a total of 2,000,000 Shares (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization affecting such shares) (the “Additional Shares”), to the Investors in accordance with each such Investor’s commitment set forth on Schedule I (hereinafter referred to as such Investor’s “Second Closing Commitment”). Each Investor may assign its Second Closing Commitment to entities affiliated with such Investor. The Company shall give at least ten (10) business days prior written notice to each Investor of its intention to consummate the Second Closing. At the Second Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor (or its affiliates) a certificate or certificates representing the Additional Shares that such Investor (or its affiliates) is purchasing against payment of the purchase price therefor by cash in immediately available funds. The term “Closing” shall apply to the Initial Closing and the Second Closing unless otherwise specified. The rights and obligations of the Company and the Investors to consummate the Second Closing pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) shall automatically terminate upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Liquidation Event or (ii) the written consent of the Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares (which majority shall include WCAS) to exercise the rights set forth in Section 1.2(c).

(c) Initial Public Offering. In the event (i) the Company files a registration statement under the Act prior to October 15, 2014 in connection with its initial underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock (the “IPO”), and such registration statement has an estimated price range and (ii) Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares (which majority shall include WCAS) notify the Company in writing of such Investors’ election to abandon the consummation of the sale and purchase of the Additional Shares at the Second Closing, each Investor, or its designee, shall purchase such number of registered public shares of

 

2


Common Stock in the IPO equal to such Investor’s Second Closing Commitment divided by the price per share of Common Stock offered to the public (the “IPO Shares”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of the IPO to direct to the Investors a number of registered public shares of Common Stock in the IPO equal the total IPO Shares. The Investors acknowledge that, despite the Company’s use of its commercially reasonable efforts, the managing underwriter(s) may determine in their sole discretion that it is not advisable to designate all such IPO Shares as directed shares in the IPO, in which case the number of IPO Shares may be reduced or no directed shares may be designated, as applicable. Any such reduction shall be pro rata among all participating Investors. Nothing in this Section 1.2(c) shall affect the rights and obligations of the Company and the Investors to consummate the sale and purchase of the Additional Shares in accordance with Section 1.2(b) if the Investors holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Shares (which majority must include WCAS) have not notified the Company in writing to consummate the purchase of IPO Shares as contemplated by this Section 1.2(c) in lieu of the Second Closing. For clarity, in no event will any Investor be obligated to purchase Additional Shares or IPO Shares, as the case may be, in excess of their respective Second Closing Commitment.

(d) Special Mandatory Conversion. The Investors hereby acknowledge and agree that in the event that any Investor (or its affiliates) does not purchase such Investor’s Second Closing Commitment pursuant to Section 1.2(b) or 1.2(c), then each share of Series D Preferred Stock held by such Investor shall automatically, and without any further action on the part of such Investor, be converted into one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, with cash issued in lieu of any fractional shares of Common Stock, all in accordance with Section 3B of Article IV(B) of the Restated Certificate.

1.3 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the sale of the Shares for working capital and general corporate purposes.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Investor that, except as set forth on a Schedule of Exceptions (the “Schedule of Exceptions”) furnished each Investor, specifically identifying the relevant Section hereof, which exceptions shall be deemed to be representations and warranties as if made hereunder:

The Company has taken commercially reasonable actions to maintain and protect its Proprietary Rights. To the Company’s knowledge, all registered Proprietary Rights owned by, or exclusively licensed to, the Company are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect. Section 2.10 of the Schedule of Exceptions sets forth all options, licenses, rights to collect royalties, agreements, claims, encumbrances or shared ownership of interests that might be reasonably expected to be material to the Company pursuant to which the Company receives or has received Proprietary Rights, or pursuant to which the Company has granted a license or other interest in Proprietary Rights collectively, “Licenses,” and all such Licenses are in full force and effect, the Company, to its knowledge, is not and has never been in breach thereof and, to the Company’s knowledge, the other party or parties thereto are not and never been in breach thereof.

The Company has not violated, interfered with, misappropriated, infringed or otherwise come into conflict with, and is not currently and as its business is proposed to be conducted will not be violating, interfering with, misappropriating, infringing or otherwise coming into conflict with, any valid and enforceable proprietary or intellectual property right of any other person or entity. The Company has not received any communications alleging that the Company (or any of its employees or consultants) has violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the proprietary or intellectual property rights of any other person or entity and the Company is not aware of any reason to believe that such an allegation may be forthcoming. There are no pending or threatened proceedings or adverse claims made with respect to any Proprietary Rights. There has never been litigation commenced or threatened in writing against the Company with respect to any Proprietary Rights. The Company is not aware that any of its employees, officers, directors or consultants is obligated under any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would interfere with the use of his or her best

 

8


efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees, officers and consultants of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as proposed, will conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any of such employees, officers or consultants is now obligated. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company does not believe it is using or will be necessary to utilize any inventions of any of its employees, officers or consultants (or people it currently intends to hire) made prior to or outside the scope of their employment or engagement by the Company, including inventions made by any former employees whereas such inventions were made by such former employees after termination of the employee’s employment with the Company and to the Company’s knowledge, the patents and patent applications within the Proprietary Rights designate the correct inventors of the inventions claimed in those patents and patent applications.

The Company (i) has not been and is not in violation or default of any provision of its Restated Certificate or Bylaws, or of any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or (ii) has not been and is not in violation or default, in any material respect, of any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company. No other party to any contract to which the Company is a party is, to the Company’s knowledge, in violation, breach or default thereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and the execution and filing of the Restated Certificate will not result in any such violation or default or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract or an event that (i) results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization, or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties or (ii) gives others (with notice or lapse of time or both) any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any provision thereunder.

Each Material Contract is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles. There has not occurred any material breach, violation or default or any event that, with the lapse of time, the giving of notice or the election of any person, or any combination thereof, would constitute a material breach, violation or default by the Company under any such contract or, to the knowledge of the Company, by any other person to any such contract. The Company has not been notified that any party to any Material Contract intends to cancel, terminate, not renew or exercise an option under any Material Contract, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise.

2.13 Related-Party Transactions. No stockholder (or affiliate thereof), employee, officer, or director of the Company (a “Related Party”) or member of such Related Party’s immediate family, or any corporation, partnership or other entity in which such Related Party is an officer, director or partner, or in which such Related Party has significant ownership interests or otherwise controls, is indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any of them. None of such persons has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a material business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company, except that such persons may own stock in (but not exceeding one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of) publicly traded companies that may compete with the Company. Except for this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and as set forth on Section 2.13 of the Schedule of Exceptions, no Related Party or member of their immediate family is directly or indirectly interested in any Material Contract with the Company.

2.14 Permits. The Company has all franchises, permits, licenses, regulatory approvals, and any similar authority necessary for the conduct of its business as now being conducted by it, the lack of which could materially and adversely affect the business, properties, prospects or financial condition of the Company, and the Company believes it can obtain, without undue

2.17 Disclosure. No certificates made or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements herein or therein not misleading when reviewed along with this Agreement and the Schedule of Exceptions.

2.20 Title to Property and Assets. Except as set forth on Section 2.20 of the Schedule of Exceptions, the Company owns its property and assets free and clear of all Encumbrances, except such Encumbrances that do not materially impair the Company’s ownership or use of such property or assets.

The Company does not own any real property.

2.21 Financial Statements.

The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated and with each other, except that the unaudited Company Financial Statements may not contain all footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company Financial Statements fairly present the financial condition

 

11


and operating results of the Company as of the dates, and for the periods, indicated therein, subject in the case of the unaudited Company Financial Statements to normal year-end audit adjustments, the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially adverse. Except as set forth in the Company Financial Statements, the Company has no material liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to March 31, 2014 (the “Financial Statement Date”) and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in the Company Financial Statements, which, in both cases, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Company Financial Statements, the Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person, firm or corporation. The Company maintains and will continue to maintain a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

13


amended (the “Code”), or Section 4001(b) of ERISA (each, an “ERISA Affiliate”), is a party, with respect to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has any obligation or which are maintained, contributed to or sponsored by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate for the benefit of any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate (each, a “Benefit Plan”).

17


Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Investor represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act.

(b) (i) Such Investor shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (ii) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Investor shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144 except in unusual circumstances.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by an Investor that is a partnership to a partner of such partnership or a retired partner of such partnership who retires after the date hereof, or to the estate of any such partner or retired partner or the transfer by gift, will or intestate succession of any partner to his or her spouse or to the siblings, lineal descendants or ancestors of such partner or his or her spouse, if the prospective transferee agrees in all such instances in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if he or she were an original Investor hereunder.

THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT, VOTING AGREEMENT, AND INVESTORS’

 

18

Such Investor’s subscription and payment for, and his or her continued beneficial ownership of the Shares, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of his or her jurisdiction.

SECTION 262 of the DGCL

§ 262 Appraisal rights

(a) Any stockholder of a corporation of this State who holds shares of stock on the date of the making of a demand pursuant to subsection (d) of this section with respect to such shares, who continuously holds such shares through the effective date of the merger or consolidation, who has otherwise complied with subsection (d) of this section and who has neither voted in favor of the merger or consolidation nor consented thereto in writing pursuant to § 228 of this title shall be entitled to an appraisal by the Court of Chancery of the fair value of the stockholder’s shares of stock under the circumstances described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section. As used in this section, the word “stockholder” means a holder of record of stock in a corporation; the words “stock” and “share” mean and include what is ordinarily meant by those words; and the words “depository receipt” mean a receipt or other instrument issued by a depository representing an interest in 1 or more shares, or fractions thereof, solely of stock of a corporation, which stock is deposited with the depository.

(b) Appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation in a merger or consolidation to be effected pursuant to § 251 (other than a merger effected pursuant to § 251(g) of this title and, subject to paragraph (b)(3) of this section, § 251(h) of this title), § 252, § 254, § 255, § 256, § 257, § 258, § 263 or § 264 of this title:

(1) Provided, however, that, except as expressly provided in § 363(b) of this title, no appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock, which stock, or depository receipts in respect thereof, at the record date fixed to determine the stockholders entitled to receive notice of the meeting of stockholders to act upon the agreement of merger or consolidation, were either: (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders; and further provided that no appraisal rights shall be available for any shares of stock of the constituent corporation surviving a merger if the merger did not require for its approval the vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation as provided in § 251(f) of this title.

(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (b)(1) of this section, appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of stock of a constituent corporation if the holders thereof are required by the terms of an agreement of merger or consolidation pursuant to §§ 251, 252, 254, 255, 256, 257, 258, 263 and 264 of this title to accept for such stock anything except:

a. Shares of stock of the corporation surviving or resulting from such merger or consolidation, or depository receipts in respect thereof;

b. Shares of stock of any other corporation, or depository receipts in respect thereof, which shares of stock (or depository receipts in respect thereof) or depository receipts at the effective date of the merger or consolidation will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 holders;

c. Cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a. and b. of this section; or

d. Any combination of the shares of stock, depository receipts and cash in lieu of fractional shares or fractional depository receipts described in the foregoing paragraphs (b)(2)a., b. and c. of this section.

(3) In the event all of the stock of a subsidiary Delaware corporation party to a merger effected under § 251(h), § 253 or § 267 of this title is not owned by the parent immediately prior to the merger, appraisal rights shall be available for the shares of the subsidiary Delaware corporation.

(4) In the event of an amendment to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation contemplated by § 363(a) of this title, appraisal rights shall be available as contemplated by § 363(b) of this title, and the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as practicable, with the word “amendment” substituted for the words “merger or consolidation,” and the word “corporation” substituted for the words “constituent corporation” and/or “surviving or resulting corporation.”


(c) Any corporation may provide in its certificate of incorporation that appraisal rights under this section shall be available for the shares of any class or series of its stock as a result of an amendment to its certificate of incorporation, any merger or consolidation in which the corporation is a constituent corporation or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation. If the certificate of incorporation contains such a provision, the procedures of this section, including those set forth in subsections (d) and (e) of this section, shall apply as nearly as is practicable.

(d) Appraisal rights shall be perfected as follows:

(1) If a proposed merger or consolidation for which appraisal rights are provided under this section is to be submitted for approval at a meeting of stockholders, the corporation, not less than 20 days prior to the meeting, shall notify each of its stockholders who was such on the record date for notice of such meeting (or such members who received notice in accordance with § 255(c) of this title) with respect to shares for which appraisal rights are available pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) of this section that appraisal rights are available for any or all of the shares of the constituent corporations, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Each stockholder electing to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares shall deliver to the corporation, before the taking of the vote on the merger or consolidation, a written demand for appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such stockholder’s shares. A proxy or vote against the merger or consolidation shall not constitute such a demand. A stockholder electing to take such action must do so by a separate written demand as herein provided. Within 10 days after the effective date of such merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation shall notify each stockholder of each constituent corporation who has complied with this subsection and has not voted in favor of or consented to the merger or consolidation of the date that the merger or consolidation has become effective; or

(2) If the merger or consolidation was approved pursuant to § 228, § 251(h), § 253, or § 267 of this title, then either a constituent corporation before the effective date of the merger or consolidation or the surviving or resulting corporation within 10 days thereafter shall notify each of the holders of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation who are entitled to appraisal rights of the approval of the merger or consolidation and that appraisal rights are available for any or all shares of such class or series of stock of such constituent corporation, and shall include in such notice a copy of this section and, if 1 of the constituent corporations is a nonstock corporation, a copy of § 114 of this title. Such notice may, and, if given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, shall, also notify such stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation. Any stockholder entitled to appraisal rights may, within 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, within the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days after the date of mailing of such notice, demand in writing from the surviving or resulting corporation the appraisal of such holder’s shares. Such demand will be sufficient if it reasonably informs the corporation of the identity of the stockholder and that the stockholder intends thereby to demand the appraisal of such holder’s shares. If such notice did not notify stockholders of the effective date of the merger or consolidation, either (i) each such constituent corporation shall send a second notice before the effective date of the merger or consolidation notifying each of the holders


of any class or series of stock of such constituent corporation that are entitled to appraisal rights of the effective date of the merger or consolidation or (ii) the surviving or resulting corporation shall send such a second notice to all such holders on or within 10 days after such effective date; provided, however, that if such second notice is sent more than 20 days following the sending of the first notice or, in the case of a merger approved pursuant to § 251(h) of this title, later than the later of the consummation of the tender or exchange offer contemplated by § 251(h) of this title and 20 days following the sending of the first notice, such second notice need only be sent to each stockholder who is entitled to appraisal rights and who has demanded appraisal of such holder’s shares in accordance with this subsection. An affidavit of the secretary or assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that is required to give either notice that such notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to receive either notice, each constituent corporation may fix, in advance, a record date that shall be not more than 10 days prior to the date the notice is given, provided, that if the notice is given on or after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the record date shall be such effective date. If no record date is fixed and the notice is given prior to the effective date, the record date shall be the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the notice is given.

(e) Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, the surviving or resulting corporation or any stockholder who has complied with subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof and who is otherwise entitled to appraisal rights, may commence an appraisal proceeding by filing a petition in the Court of Chancery demanding a determination of the value of the stock of all such stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party shall have the right to withdraw such stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation. Within 120 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, any stockholder who has complied with the requirements of subsections (a) and (d) of this section hereof, upon written request, shall be entitled to receive from the corporation surviving the merger or resulting from the consolidation a statement setting forth the aggregate number of shares not voted in favor of the merger or consolidation and with respect to which demands for appraisal have been received and the aggregate number of holders of such shares. Such written statement shall be mailed to the stockholder within 10 days after such stockholder’s written request for such a statement is received by the surviving or resulting corporation or within 10 days after expiration of the period for delivery of demands for appraisal under subsection (d) of this section hereof, whichever is later. Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a person who is the beneficial owner of shares of such stock held either in a voting trust or by a nominee on behalf of such person may, in such person’s own name, file a petition or request from the corporation the statement described in this subsection.

(f) Upon the filing of any such petition by a stockholder, service of a copy thereof shall be made upon the surviving or resulting corporation, which shall within 20 days after such service file in the office of the Register in Chancery in which the petition was filed a duly verified list containing the names and addresses of all stockholders who have demanded payment for their shares and with whom agreements as to the value of their shares have not been reached by the surviving or resulting corporation. If the petition shall be filed by the surviving or resulting corporation, the petition shall be accompanied by such a duly verified list. The Register in Chancery, if so ordered by the Court, shall give notice of the time and place fixed for the hearing of such petition by registered or certified mail to the surviving or resulting corporation and to the stockholders shown on the list at the addresses therein stated. Such notice shall also be given by 1 or more publications at least 1 week before the day of the hearing, in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Wilmington, Delaware or such publication as the Court deems advisable. The forms of the notices by mail and by publication shall be approved by the Court, and the costs thereof shall be borne by the surviving or resulting corporation.


(g) At the hearing on such petition, the Court shall determine the stockholders who have complied with this section and who have become entitled to appraisal rights. The Court may require the stockholders who have demanded an appraisal for their shares and who hold stock represented by certificates to submit their certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery for notation thereon of the pendency of the appraisal proceedings; and if any stockholder fails to comply with such direction, the Court may dismiss the proceedings as to such stockholder.

(h) After the Court determines the stockholders entitled to an appraisal, the appraisal proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the Court of Chancery, including any rules specifically governing appraisal proceedings. Through such proceeding the Court shall determine the fair value of the shares exclusive of any element of value arising from the accomplishment or expectation of the merger or consolidation, together with interest, if any, to be paid upon the amount determined to be the fair value. In determining such fair value, the Court shall take into account all relevant factors. Unless the Court in its discretion determines otherwise for good cause shown, interest from the effective date of the merger through the date of payment of the judgment shall be compounded quarterly and shall accrue at 5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate (including any surcharge) as established from time to time during the period between the effective date of the merger and the date of payment of the judgment. Upon application by the surviving or resulting corporation or by any stockholder entitled to participate in the appraisal proceeding, the Court may, in its discretion, proceed to trial upon the appraisal prior to the final determination of the stockholders entitled to an appraisal. Any stockholder whose name appears on the list filed by the surviving or resulting corporation pursuant to subsection (f) of this section and who has submitted such stockholder’s certificates of stock to the Register in Chancery, if such is required, may participate fully in all proceedings until it is finally determined that such stockholder is not entitled to appraisal rights under this section.

(i) The Court shall direct the payment of the fair value of the shares, together with interest, if any, by the surviving or resulting corporation to the stockholders entitled thereto. Payment shall be so made to each such stockholder, in the case of holders of uncertificated stock forthwith, and the case of holders of shares represented by certificates upon the surrender to the corporation of the certificates representing such stock. The Court’s decree may be enforced as other decrees in the Court of Chancery may be enforced, whether such surviving or resulting corporation be a corporation of this State or of any state.

(j) The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the Court and taxed upon the parties as the Court deems equitable in the circumstances. Upon application of a stockholder, the Court may order all or a portion of the expenses incurred by any stockholder in connection with the appraisal proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and the fees and expenses of experts, to be charged pro rata against the value of all the shares entitled to an appraisal.

(k) From and after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, no stockholder who has demanded appraisal rights as provided in subsection (d) of this section shall be entitled to vote such stock for any purpose or to receive payment of dividends or other distributions on the stock (except dividends or other distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the effective date of the merger or consolidation); provided, however, that if no petition for an appraisal shall be filed within the time provided in subsection (e) of this section, or if such stockholder shall deliver to the surviving or resulting corporation a written withdrawal of such stockholder’s demand for an appraisal and an acceptance of the merger or consolidation, either within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation as provided in subsection (e) of this section or thereafter with the written approval of the corporation, then the right of such stockholder to an appraisal shall cease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no appraisal proceeding in the Court of Chancery shall be dismissed as to any stockholder without the approval of the Court, and such approval may be conditioned upon such terms as the Court deems just; provided, however that this provision shall not affect the right of any stockholder who has not commenced an appraisal proceeding or joined that proceeding as a named party to withdraw such


stockholder’s demand for appraisal and to accept the terms offered upon the merger or consolidation within 60 days after the effective date of the merger or consolidation, as set forth in subsection (e) of this section.

(l) The shares of the surviving or resulting corporation to which the shares of such objecting stockholders would have been converted had they assented to the merger or consolidation shall have the status of authorized and unissued shares of the surviving or resulting corporation.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

 

No. 2014-1

   May [    ], 2014        

Warrant to Purchase [] Shares of Warrant Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Share Number”).

Valeritas, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, hereby certifies that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”), CAPITAL ROYALTY PARTNERS II L.P. (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase the Warrant Share Number of shares of Warrant Stock (as defined below) from the Company at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period for the Exercise Price (as defined below) per share, subject to adjustments as set forth in Section 4.

This Warrant is issued in connection with that certain Term Loan Agreement, dated May 24, 2013, between the Company, as Borrower, and the Lenders party thereto, as [amended by that certain Amendment to the Term Loan Agreement, dated as of the date hereof] (as amended, the “Term Loan Agreement”). As used herein, the term “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”), and ending at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing local time at the principal executive office of the Company) on the ten (10) year anniversary of the date hereof, provided, however, that this Warrant shall no longer be exercisable and become null and void upon the consummation of any “Termination Event” defined as (a) the consummation of the Company’s sale of its Common Stock or other securities pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (other than a registration statement relating either to sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to its stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or a SEC Rule 145 transaction) (the “Initial Public Offering”) and (b) the consummation of a Liquidation Event, as such term is defined in the Company’s Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). For purposes of this Warrant, any of the transactions described in subsection (b) of this paragraph shall be referred to herein as a “Corporate Transaction”). In the event of a Termination Event, the Company shall notify the Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the consummation of such Termination Event. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.


1. Determination of Warrant Stock, Warrant Share Number and Warrant Exercise Price.

(a) Warrant Stock. This Warrant shall represent the right to purchase shares of Common Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Company (the “Warrant Stock”).

(b) Warrant Share Number. This Warrant shall be exercisable for a number of shares of Warrant Stock equal to the Warrant Share Number at the Exercise Price at any time and from time to time from the Commencement Date until the earlier of (i) the consummation of a Termination Event and (ii) the ten (10) year anniversary of the date hereof.

(c) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Warrant Stock shall be equal to $0.01 (the “Exercise Price”).

2. Mechanics of Exercise of Warrant. This Warrant may be exercised by the registered holder hereof by surrender to the Company of this Warrant, with the form of subscription agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed by such Holder, accompanied by payment equal to the aggregate purchase price for the securities for which this Warrant is then being exercised. Upon exercise of the Warrant, Holder shall, upon the request of the Company become a party to any and all agreements between the Company and its stockholders governing the respective class and series of securities for which this Warrant is being exercised, including, without limitation, the Voting Agreement, dated as of May [], 2014, among the Company and the Stockholders party thereto, as amended from time to time. Notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph hereof, if the Holder has not exercised this Warrant prior to the closing of a Corporate Transaction or an Initial Public Offering, this Warrant shall automatically be deemed to be exercised in full in the manner set forth in Section 3(d), without any further action on behalf of the Holder immediately prior to such closing.

3. Delivery of Certificates: Fractional Shares.

(a) Delivery of Certificates. As soon as is practicable after any exercise of this Warrant, the Company, at its own expense, will deliver to the registered holder hereof one or more certificates representing the securities to which such holder is entitled in respect of such exercise, together, in the case of any partial exercise, with a new Warrant representing the unexercised portion hereof.

(b) Fractional Shares. In the event that any exercise of this Warrant would, but for the provisions of this Section 3(b), result in the issuance of any fractional share of capital stock, then in lieu of such fractional share the registered holder hereof will be entitled to cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share, as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors.

(c) Payment of Exercise Price. The Exercise Price may be paid at the holder’s election either by cash, certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire transfer to its account.

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding the payment provisions set forth above and only in the event of an Initial Public Offering or a Corporate Transaction, in lieu of exercising this Warrant in the manner provided above in Section 2, the Holder may elect to


receive shares of Warrant Stock equal to the value of this Warrant (a “Net Exercise”) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder a number of shares of Warrant Stock computed using the following formula:

 

   X =Y (A - B)   
  

A

  

 

Where      X =    The number of shares of Warrant Stock to be issued to the Holder.
     Y =    The number of shares of Warrant Stock as to which the Warrant is being exercised.
     A =    The Fair Market Value of one share of Warrant Stock (at the date of such calculation).
     B =    The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

(e) Exchange Right.

(i) In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 2 or Net Exercising it pursuant to Section 3(d), prior to the closing of a Corporate Transaction, by written notice to the acquiring entity (the “Acquiring Person”) and the Company at least five (5) days before the date of closing of such Corporate Transaction, the Holder may assign, in whole or in part, this Warrant to the Acquiring Person and receive in exchange from the Acquiring Person immediately prior to such closing, without the payment by the Holder of any additional consideration, an amount and type of consideration equal to the amount and type of consideration that would have been payable by the Acquiring Person in the Corporate Transaction with respect to that number of shares of Warrant Stock that would have been issuable had the portion of the Warrant that is so assigned pursuant to this Section 3(e) not been assigned but instead been Net Exercised pursuant to Section 3(d).

(ii) The type of consideration paid by the Acquiring Person for the portion of this Warrant that could be Net Exercised into one share of Warrant Stock pursuant to Section 3(d) shall be the same type of consideration, whether stock, securities or other property, paid for one share of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction, or if more than one type of consideration is paid for one share of Common Stock in the Corporate Transaction, the same types and on the same relative basis as is paid for one (1) share of common stock in the Corporate Transaction (assuming, in the case of a Corporate Transaction involving the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, that the consideration received by the Company in is distributed to the stockholders of the Company on the date of closing of such sale or transfer).

4. Certain Adjustments.

(a) Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first issued (such date being referred to as the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding Warrant Stock, the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately


decreased and the Warrant Share Number then in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately increased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding Warrant Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased and the Warrant Share Number then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

(b) Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company from time to time after the Commencement Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Warrant Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional Warrant Stock, then and in each such event the Exercise Price then in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance (but not below zero) and the Warrant Share Number then in effect immediately before such event shall be proportionately increased or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Exercise Price then in effect by a fraction:

(i) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Warrant Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and

(ii) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Warrant Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Warrant Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

and proportionately increasing the Warrant Share Number then in effect; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Exercise Price and the Warrant Share Number shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.

(c) Adjustment for Reorganization. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Company in which the shares of Warrant Stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a Corporate Transaction or a transaction covered by subsections 4(a) or 4(b) (collectively, a “Reorganization”), then, following such Reorganization, the Registered Holder shall receive upon exercise hereof the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which the Registered Holder would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such Reorganization if such exercise had taken place immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Registered Holder, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section 4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Exercise Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities, cash or other property thereafter deliverable upon the exercise of this Warrant.


(d) No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its charter or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment.

5. Notices of Record Date, Etc. In the event from time to time of any proposed or contemplated:

(a) taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other similar right;

(b) capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all the assets of the Company to, or any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other person or entity, in each case which constitutes a Corporate Transaction; or

(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up of the Company;

then, and in each such event the Company will send to the registered holder of this Warrant a notice specifying (i) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, or right, and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, or right, or (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up is anticipated to take place and the time, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of record of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or other securities will be entitled to exchange such stock or other securities for other securities, cash, and/or other property deliverable on such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation, or winding-up. Such notice will be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the earliest date specified in such notice on which any such action or transaction is to be taken or consummated.

6. Reservation of Securities Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company at all times and from time to time will reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Warrant Stock from time to time issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. If at any time the Company does not have sufficient authorized Common Stock to comply with the foregoing sentence, the Company promptly will take all reasonable steps (including without limitation amending the Certificate of Incorporation) necessary to provide the quantity of securities sufficient to effect the exercise in full of this Warrant.

7. Transfer of Warrant. The Holder may at any time assign to an Eligible Transferee all of its rights and obligations under this Warrant upon providing the Company at least ten (10) days prior written notice of any such assignment; provided, however, that no such assignment shall be made to Borrower, an Affiliate of Borrower, or any employees or directors of Borrower


at any time, and in all cases, subject to evidence of compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities laws. Any transferee that receives this Warrant in a transaction permitted by this Section 7 shall thereafter be deemed the Holder of this Warrant. The Company may treat the person in whose name this Warrant is registered as the holder hereof for all purposes.

8. Compliance with Securities Act. The holder hereof, by acceptance hereof, agrees that this Warrant is being acquired for investment for its own account and not with a view towards its distribution and that the holder hereof will not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant or shares of capital stock of the Company issued upon exercise of this Warrant except under circumstances which will not result in a violation of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The holder is, and all permitted transferees shall be, an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under this Securities Act 1933, as amended.

9. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, if requested in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, in lieu hereof, a new note of like tenor.

10. Captions. The captions of sections or subsections of this Warrant are for reference only and will not affect the interpretation or construction of this Warrant.

11. Waivers. Subject to the provisions of Section 15, no waiver of any breach or default hereunder by the Company will be valid unless in a writing signed by the registered holder hereof. No waiver of any breach or default hereunder by the registered holder hereof will be valid unless in a writing signed by the Company. No failure or other delay by the registered holder hereof, or the Company, as applicable, in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will be or operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

12. Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision of this Warrant is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Warrant shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

13. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without reference to principles of conflicts or choice of law).

14. No Rights as a Stockholder. Until exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof, the Holder shall not have or exercise any rights by virtue hereof as a stockholder of the Company.

15. Legends. This Warrant and all shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of this Warrant (unless registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws) shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:

“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT (i) EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS RELATED THERETO, (ii) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL OR OTHER EVIDENCE, REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED, (iii) RECEIPT OF NO-ACTION LETTERS FROM THE APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORITIES, OR (iv) OTHERWISE COMPLYING WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 8 OF THE WARRANT UNDER WHICH THESE SECURITIES WERE ISSUED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY.”


Said legend shall be removed by the Company, upon the request of the Holder, at such time as the restrictions on the transfer of the applicable security shall have terminated.

16. Joint Action Required. This Warrant is one of several that may be issued pursuant to the Term Loan Agreement (collectively, the “Warrants”). It is the intent of the Company, the Holder and each other Lender holding a Warrant that no Lender may exercise or exchange any Warrant (including but not limited to this Warrant) in whole or in part, nor make any claim or demand or bring any suit or action with respect to any Warrant, in each case unless the Majority Lenders have agreed in writing to so exercise or exchange the Warrants, make such claim or demand, or bring such suit or action (in which case all Lenders holding Warrants shall cooperate so that, as applicable, (i) all Warrants are proportionately exercised or exchanged in the case of exercise or exchange, so that each Lender has the same percentage of its Warrant exercised or exchanged, or (ii) all Lenders holding Warrants shall collectively share in the costs and benefits of any such claim, demand, suit or action (on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their respective number of Warrant Stock purchasable). Accordingly, the Holder hereby agrees not to directly or indirectly exercise or exchange this Warrant or make or bring any such claim, demand, suit or action unless the Majority Lenders have agreed in writing to do so with respect to all Warrants.

17. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the observance of any other term hereof may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Holder; provided, that the Majority Lenders may agree to amend or waive any term of all Warrants (with such amendment or waiver applying to each Warrant in the same manner), in which case such term of this Warrant shall be so amended or waived, as applicable, without any separate action of Holder. Holder hereby agrees that the Majority Lenders shall have such power to amend or waive terms of this Warrant.

18. Prior Warrant. The Company previously issued to Holder on June 20, 2013 a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 1,181,819 shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Prior Warrant”). The Company and the Holder irrevocably agree that effective as of the date hereof, the Prior Warrant is hereby terminated in its entirety and of no further force or effect.
