THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT IS SUBORDINATED IN RIGHT AND TIME OF PAYMENT TO THE PRIOR PAYMENT IN FULL IN CASH OF ALL OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED THEREIN) IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND TO THE EXTENT SPECIFIED IN, SUCH SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT AND EACH HOLDER OF THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF SUCH SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT. THIS NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT IS ALSO SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.

CONVERTIBLE NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 8, 2021 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and among Agendia N.V., a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) incorporated under Dutch law (the “Company”), and the entities listed on the schedule of purchasers attached hereto as Schedule I (each a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”), as such Schedule I may be amended in accordance with Section 12 hereof.    

RECITALS

A. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, each Purchaser, severally and not jointly, is willing to purchase from the Company, and the Company is willing to sell to such Purchaser, an unsecured subordinated convertible Note (as defined below) in the principal amount set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Schedule I hereto.

B. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the form of Note (as defined below) attached hereto as Exhibit A.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, and conditions set forth below, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. The Purchase and Sale of the Notes.

(a) Issuance of Notes. Subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Purchasers, and each of the Purchasers severally and not jointly agrees to purchase, one or more promissory notes in the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”) in the principal amount set forth opposite the respective Purchaser’s name on Schedule I. The obligations of the Purchasers to purchase Notes are several and not joint. The aggregate principal amount for all Notes issued hereunder shall not exceed $35,000,000.00.

(b) Interest; Original Issue Discount.


The Notes shall not bear interest; provided that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, all outstanding Obligations shall bear interest during such period at an interest rate per annum equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws of the State of New York and shall be payable on demand. All interest under the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The Company and each Purchaser agree that each Note will be issued to the respective Purchaser for an amount equal to the product of the face amount of each Note (the “Original Note Amount”) multiplied by 0.90 (with such original issue discount being equated to interest and being net funded from the proceeds of the issuance of the Notes). For the avoidance of doubt, (i) on the Effective Date, each Purchaser shall advance to the Company an amount equal to the product of the Original Note Amount multiplied by 0.90 in exchange for the Company’s obligations to repay in full the Original Note Amount in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) all calculations of amounts payable in respect of the Notes will be calculated on the basis of each Note’s full stated principal amount. The original issue discount on each Note pursuant to this Section 1(b) shall be deemed earned in full by each Purchaser on and as of the Effective Date.

The original issue discount hereunder shall in no event exceed the maximum rate permissible under applicable law. If such original issue discount hereunder is ever reduced as a result of this paragraph and at any time thereafter the maximum rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York shall exceed the rate of equated interest provided for in each Note, then such equated rate provided for in each Note shall be increased to the maximum rate provided by the laws of the State of New York for such period as is required so that the total amount of equated interest received by each Purchaser is that which would have been received by each Purchaser but for the operation of the first sentence of this paragraph.

(c) Closing. The sale and purchase of one or more of the Notes shall take place remotely via exchange of signatures on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”). On the Effective Date, the Company will deliver to each of the Purchasers participating on the Effective Date the Note to be purchased by such Purchaser, against receipt by the Company of the corresponding purchase price set forth on Schedule I (the “Purchase Price”), taking into account Section 1(b). The Purchase Price may be paid in cash payable to the Company or, in lieu of cash, in the form of exchange of the principal value of Unsecured Subordinated Promissory Notes issued by the Company and held by such Purchaser.

2. Maturity Date; Payments and Prepayments.

(a) The principal of and other amounts payable under each Note shall be immediately due and payable in full in cash on the earliest of: (i) December 31, 2022 (the “Maturity Date”); (ii) the acceleration of the obligations under any Note as provided in Section 10 upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; or (iii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(b) Prepayment, in whole or in part, is only permitted with consent of the Majority in Interest Purchasers and in compliance with Section 3 herein. Any such prepayment or any other payment on the Notes will be without premium or penalty and shall include any accrued interest on the principal amount prepaid and any other amounts then due and payable hereunder or under the Notes, and be applied to the payment of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes on a pro rata basis among all of the Notes. The Company may not reborrow any amounts repaid or prepaid under any Note.

(c) All payment and prepayments shall be denominated in U.S. dollars.


The Company hereby agrees that its obligation to make payments when due hereunder is absolute and unconditional and shall not be subject to refund, return, offset, deduction, cross-collateralization or counterclaim of any kind for any reason, and the Company hereby waives all defenses to payment thereof on the date such payments are due pursuant to the terms hereof.

3. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the payment of the Obligations evidenced by the Notes, and the exercise of the rights of the Purchasers hereunder are each expressly subject and subordinated to the prior payment in full of the obligations under the Senior Notes purchased under the Senior Note Purchase Agreement, in accordance with the Subordination Agreement. The Obligations evidenced by the Notes shall be senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated and unsecured indebtedness of the Company.

4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Company. The Company represents, warrants and covenants to each Purchaser that:

(a) Due Incorporation, Qualification, etc. The Company (i) is a public limited company (naamloze vennootschap) duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under Dutch law; and (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted in all material respects.

Each Purchaser, for that Purchaser alone, represents and warrants to the Company upon the acquisition of a Note that such Purchaser has full legal capacity, power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.
