Company’s stockholders for the issuance and sale to the Investors of the Securities (the “Proposal”).  In connection therewith, the Company will promptly prepare and file with the SEC proxy materials (including a proxy statement and form of proxy) for use at the Stockholders Meeting and, after receiving and promptly responding to any comments of the SEC thereon, shall promptly mail such proxy materials to the stockholders of the Company.  Each Investor shall promptly furnish in writing to the Company such information relating to such Investor and its investment in the Company as the Company may reasonably request for inclusion in the Proxy Statement.  The Company will comply with Section 14(a) of the 1934 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder in relation to any proxy statement (as amended or supplemented, the “Proxy Statement”) and any form of proxy to be sent to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Stockholders Meeting, and the Proxy Statement shall not, on the date that the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to stockholders or at the time of the Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading, or omit to state any material fact necessary to correct any statement in any earlier communication with respect to the solicitation of proxies or the Stockholders Meeting which has become false or misleading.  If the Company should discover at any time prior to the Stockholders Meeting, any event relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors that is required to be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement, in addition to the Company’s obligations under the 1934 Act, the Company will promptly inform the Investors thereof.

 

(b)                                 Subject to the following sentence, the Board shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that the stockholders vote in favor of the Proposal (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and take all commercially reasonable action (including, without limitation, the hiring of a proxy solicitation firm of nationally recognized standing) to solicit the approval of the stockholders for the Proposal unless the Board shall have modified, amended or withdrawn the Company Board Recommendation pursuant to the provisions of the immediately succeeding sentence.  The Company covenants that the Board shall not modify, amend or withdraw the Company Board Recommendation unless (i) the Company shall have received a Superior Proposal and (ii) the Board (after consultation with the Company’s outside counsel) shall have determined in the good faith exercise of its business judgment that maintaining the Company Board Recommendation would violate its fiduciary duty to the Company’s stockholders.  Whether or not the Board modifies, amends or withdraws the Company Board Recommendation pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall in accordance with Section 146 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the provisions of its Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, (i) take all action necessary to convene the Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable, but no later than the Stockholders Meeting Deadline, to consider and vote upon the approval of the Proposal and (ii) submit the Proposal at the Stockholders Meeting to the stockholders of the Company for their approval.

 

7.10                           Director Designees.

 

(a)                                  From and after the Closing Date, so long as Special Situations Fund III, L.P. (“SSF”) and/or one or more of its Affiliates collectively are the beneficial owners (determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the 1934 Act) of at least 25% of the Shares

 

23



 

and Warrant Shares acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement, SSF shall have the right to designate up to two Persons for election to the Board (the “SSF Designees”).  Upon any such designation by SSF, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the SSF Designees to be elected to the Board.  SSF shall have the right to remove or replace any SSF Designee by giving notice to such SSF Designee and the Company and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the removal or replacement of any such SSF Designee.

 

(b)                                 Subject to any limitations imposed by applicable law, any SSF Designee shall be entitled to the same perquisites, including stock options, reimbursement of expenses and other similar rights in connection with such Person’s membership on the Board, as every other non-employee member of the Board.

 

(c)                                  So long as SSF has the right to appoint an SSF Designee, the Company shall not increase the number of directors constituting the Board without the prior written approval of SSF.

 

(d)                                 Promptly following the time that SSF no longer has the right to designate any SSF Designee, such SSF Designee shall, and SSF shall cause such SSF Designee to, promptly tender his or her resignation as a member of the Board, which resignation may be accepted by the Board in its discretion.

 

7.11                           Most Favored Nations.  Each Investor shall receive “most favorite nations status” with respect to the Transaction Documents, meaning that if the Company takes any action contemplated by Section 4.29, the terms of the Transaction Documents to which such Investor is a party automatically shall be amended, without further action, so as to provide such Investor the benefits of such More Favorable Terms.

 

7.12                           Preemptive Rights.

 

(a)                                  From and after the Closing, the Company shall not sell any Common Stock or any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into, directly or indirectly, Common Stock (collectively, the “Preemptive Securities”) to any Person unless the Company shall have first offered to sell to each Investor (for so long as such Investor holds at least 50% of the Shares acquired by such Investor hereunder) (each a “Preemptive Holder”) such Preemptive Holder’s Preemptive Share of the Preemptive Securities, at a price and on such other terms as shall have been specified by the Company in writing delivered to each such Preemptive Holder (the “Preemptive Offer”) at the address set forth on the signature page hereto, which Preemptive Offer shall by its terms remain open and irrevocable for a period of at least fifteen business days from the date it is delivered by the Company (the “Preemptive Offer Period”).  Each Preemptive Holder may elect to purchase all or any portion of such Preemptive Holder’s Preemptive Share of the Preemptive Securities as specified in the Preemptive Offer at the price and upon the terms specified therein by delivering written notice of such election to the Company as soon as practical but in any event within the Preemptive Offer Period; provided that if the Company is issuing Common Stock together as a unit with any debt securities or other equity securities, then any Preemptive Holder who elects to purchase the Preemptive Securities pursuant to this Section 7.12 must purchase the same proportionate mix of all of such securities.

 

24



 

(b)                                 Each Preemptive Holder’s “Preemptive Share” of Preemptive Securities shall be determined as follows: the total number of Preemptive Securities, multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were purchased by such Preemptive Holder pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to an exercise of a Warrant and that, in each case, continue to be held by such Preemptive Holder, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding.

 

(c)                                  Upon the expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period, the Company shall be entitled during the 180 day period following expiration of the Preemptive Offer Period to sell such Preemptive Securities which the Preemptive Holders have not elected to purchase on terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than those offered to the Preemptive Holders.

 

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 7.12 shall not apply to the following issuances of Common Stock:

 

(i)                                     Common Stock issued to employees, officers, directors and other service providers of or to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of any applicable incentive plan of the Company approved by the Board;

 

(ii)                                  Common Stock issued for consideration other than cash in connection with consulting, licensing, acquisition, equipment leasing, lending, merger or other business transactions;

 

(iii)                               Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrants; and

 

(iv)                              in connection with the subdivision of Common Stock (including any split), any combination of Common Stock (including any reverse split, including the Reverse Split) or any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification or conversion of the Company.

 

7.13                           Non-Solicitation of Alternative Investment.

 

(a)                                  From and after the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Closing or the termination of the obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to Section 6.3, the Company shall not, and neither shall it authorize or permit any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers or employees to, nor knowingly authorize or permit the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, directly or indirectly through another Person, (i) solicit, initiate, participate in or knowingly encourage, or take any other action designed to, or which could reasonably be expected to, facilitate, any Alternative Investment or (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information, or otherwise cooperate in any way with, any Alternative Investment.  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Investors) conducted heretofore with respect to any Alternative

 

25



 

Investment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that (1) the Stockholders Meeting has not occurred, (2) in response to a bona fide written Alternative Investment proposal that the Board reasonably determines (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) constitutes a Superior Proposal, and (3) the Board believes in good faith, considering the advice of the Company’s counsel, that the failure to participate in such negotiations or discussions or disclose such information would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable law, the Company and its Representatives may, subject to compliance with Section 7.13(b), (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Investment proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement, provided that all such information has previously been provided to the Investors or is provided to the Investors prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Alternative Investment proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Alternative Investment proposal.
 
(b)                                 In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 7.13(a), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of the receipt thereof by the Company) advise the Investors orally and in writing of the existence of any Alternative Investment proposal, the material terms and conditions of any such Alternative Investment proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the Person making any such Alternative Investment proposal.  The Company shall (i) keep the Investors fully informed in all material respects of the status of any Alternative Investment proposal and (ii) provide to the Investors as soon as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written material sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any Person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any Alternative Investment proposal.
 

(c)                                  During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the effective date of termination of the obligations to effect the Closing under Section 6.3, if the Board determines in good faith to accept a Superior Proposal, prior to accepting such Superior Proposal, the Company shall first (i) disclose to each of the Investors the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and (ii) offer each of the Investors the opportunity to enter into a transaction with the Company on terms no less favorable to the Company and its stockholders from a financial point of view (including conditions to consummation of the contemplated transactions) than those contained in the Superior Proposal (the “Offer”).  Any one or more of the Investors (the “Proposing Investor(s)”) shall be entitled to notify the Company within three business days of the terms of a transaction with the Company in response to the Offer (a “Counter Proposal”).  If the terms of the Counter Proposal are determined by the Board (after consultation with its legal and financial advisors) in good faith to be no less favorable to the Company and its stockholders from a financial point of view (including conditions to consummation of the contemplated transaction) than those contained in the Superior Proposal, then the Company shall accept the Counter Proposal.  In the event that more than one Investor make a Counter Proposal that is a Superior Proposal, then the Board shall determine which among them is superior to the others and that proposal will be the Counter Proposal accepted by the Company.  If the Company does not receive a Counter Proposal from any of the Investors within such three-business day period, or the Counter Proposal(s) received do not constitute a Superior Proposal, then the Company may accept the Superior Proposal, provided there are no

 

26



 

subsequent material changes to the terms of such Superior Proposal.  If the terms of such Superior Proposal are materially changed, then such Superior Proposal shall be deemed a new proposal and shall be subject to each of the terms of this Section 7.13(c).  This Section 7.13(c) shall apply to any Superior Proposal made by any Person at any time prior to the termination of the Investors’ rights under this Section 7.13(c).  If the Company agrees to enter into an agreement governing the transaction contemplated by the Counter Proposal, then the Proposing Investor(s) shall promptly give written notice thereof (the “Proposal Notice”) to the other Investors.  The Proposal Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the price and other material terms and conditions of the Counter Proposal and the notice address at which the other Investors may give notice to the Proposing Investor(s) as hereinafter provided.  In such Proposal Notice, the Proposing Investor(s) shall offer the other Investors the right to participate in such transaction on the same terms and conditions as the Proposing Investor(s), which offer shall be irrevocable for a period of three business days after the date of receipt of the notice by the other Investors.  Upon receipt of the Proposal Notice, each of the other Investors shall have the right to elect to participate in such transaction on a pro rata basis based on its pro rata portion of the Purchase Price (or on such other basis as such Investors may agree) by giving the Proposing Investor(s) written notice of their election to participate within such three-business day period.  Each Investor that sends such a notice is being referred to as an “Electing Investor.”  If any Investor does not respond during the applicable period, it shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 7.13(c) with respect to such Counter Proposal.   The Proposing Investor(s) and the Electing Investors together shall consummate the transaction contemplated by the Counter Proposal on such terms and conditions as set forth in the Counter Proposal or as may otherwise be agreed by the Proposing Investor(s), the Electing Investors and the Company; it being understood that the Proposing Investor(s) and the Electing Investors must agree to purchase or acquire 100% of the securities that are contemplated to be acquired from the Company or its stockholders by the Counter Proposal.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, none of the Investors or any of their respective Affiliates shall be permitted to participate in any Alternative Investment, other than a Counter Proposal as contemplated in this Section 7.13(c).

 

7.14                           Issuance of Alternative Warrants.  Within three business days following the date hereof, the Company shall issue to each Investor, for no additional consideration, a warrant to purchase an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth in such warrant) equal to the number of shares of Common Stock set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Schedule 7.14 at a per share exercise price equal to $0.01 (subject to adjustment as set forth in such warrant), which warrant shall be in form and substance substantially as set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (all such warrants issued to the Investors pursuant to this Section 7.14, the “Alternative Warrants”).  At the time that the Alternative Warrants are issued, (a) Kirkland & Ellis LLP, the Company’s counsel, shall deliver to the Investors an opinion dated as of such date, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Investors and addressing such legal matters as set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto (addressing those matters relevant to the issuance of the Alternative Warrants and shares of Common Stock subject thereto), and (b) the Company and each of the Investors shall execute and deliver a registration rights agreement with respect to the registration of the shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of such Alternative Warrants in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto, with such modifications as may be necessary or reasonably required to give effect to the terms of this Section 7.14.  The Alternative Warrants shall become exercisable only if one of the events specified in the

 

27



 

following clauses (i) through (iv) (each a “Trigger Event”) occurs: (i) the stockholders of the Company fail to approve the Proposal at the Stockholders Meeting, (ii) the Company terminates its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to Section 6.3 and the Company has received an Alternative Investment proposal prior to such time which has not been withdrawn, (iii) the Company enters into an agreement governing the consummation of an Alternative Investment with any Person other than the Investors, as contemplated by Section 7.13(c) above, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 6.3 or (iv) the Stockholders Meeting shall not have occurred prior to the Stockholders Meeting Deadline and the Company shall have breached its obligations under Section 7.9; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision herein, the Alternative Warrant issued to any non-Electing Investor shall become exercisable immediately if the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by a Counter Proposal and this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.3; it being understood that those Alternative Warrants held by any Investor participating in a Counter Proposal shall not become exercisable and shall terminate and be of no further force and effect on the date on which the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by a Counter Proposal.  In the event that a Trigger Event has not occurred prior to or in connection with the termination of this Agreement (in whole or with respect to any particular Investor) or the Closing shall occur, then all outstanding Alternative Warrants held by all Investors or, in the case of a termination with respect a particular Investor, that Investor, shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.  The Alternative Warrants in the aggregate will represent the right to acquire shares of Common Stock representing 15 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock determined as of the date hereof.

 

7.15                           Use of Proceeds; Approved Budget.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Shares and the Warrants hereunder shall be used solely to fund the development of the Company’s TPI 287 compound in accordance with the Approved Budget.  Any amendment or variance with respect to such aspect of the Approved Budget shall require the prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Investors agree that the Approved Budget shall not restrict the Company’s use of its other assets, including any cash-on-hand as of the Closing.

 

7.16                           Prohibition on Sale.  The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause each of Leonard P. Shaykin, Martin M. Batt, Patricia A. Pilia, Gordon Link, Kai P. Larson, Bruce W. Fiedler, Stephen K. Carter, M.D., George M. Gould, Arthur H. Hayes, Jr., Elliot M. Maza, The Honorable Richard N. Perle and Robert E. Pollack to execute and deliver to the Company within five business days after the date hereof an lock-up agreement in form and substance substantially as set forth on Exhibit C hereto.  The Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of such agreement without the consent of the Investors.

8.                                       Survival and Indemnification.

 

8.1  Survival.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that any claim for Losses as a result of a breach of a representation or warranty contained herein must be must be made, if at all, within 18 months of the Closing, except that any claim for Losses as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.15 hereof must be made, if at all, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

 

8.2  Indemnification.  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against, without duplication, (a) any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding, pending or threatened and the costs of enforcement thereof) (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Person may become subject as a result of any breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by or to be performed on the part of the Company under the Transaction Documents or (b) reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim or proceeding arising from a claim by any third party (including any governmental authority) that the provisions relating to the exercise of the Warrant issued to such Person hereunder are unenforceable if such Person ultimately prevails with respect to such claim, and, in each case, will reimburse any such Person for all such amounts as they are incurred by such Person.

 

8.3  Conduct of Indemnification ProceedingsPromptly after receipt by any Person (the Indemnified Person”) of notice of any demand, claim or circumstances which would or might give rise to a claim or the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 8.2, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, and shall assume the payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company is materially prejudiced by such failure to notify.  In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company and the Indemnified Person shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; or (ii) in the reasonable judgment of counsel to such Indemnified Person representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment.  Without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which

 

29



 

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Company shall not effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such proceeding.
