ACCOUNT CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

This Account Control Agreement (this “Agreement”), dated as of November 30, 2018, is entered into by and among (i) Triple Royalty Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as the grantor (the “Grantor”), (ii) Theravance Biopharma R&D, Inc., a Cayman Islands exempted company, as the servicer (the “Servicer”), (iii) U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association, as the secured party (the “Secured Party”), and (iv) U.S. Bank National Association in its additional capacities as a “securities intermediary” as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC (in such capacities, the “Financial Institution”).  The rules of construction set forth in Annex A to the Indenture, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Triple Royalty Sub LLC, as the Issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as the Trustee, shall apply to this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement as if set forth fully in this Agreement.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in such Annex A, which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.  Not all terms defined in such Annex A are used in this Agreement.  All references herein to the “UCC” shall mean the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect, from time to time, in the State of New York.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1.                              Establishment of the Collateral Account.  The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:

 

(a)                     Description of Account.  The Financial Institution has established the Collection Account with account number 275915000.  The Collection Account and any successor accounts, as such accounts may be renumbered or retitled, are referred to herein collectively as the “Collateral Account.”

 

(b)                     Account Modifications.  Neither the Financial Institution nor the Grantor shall change the name or account number of the Collateral Account without the prior written consent of the Secured Party.

 

(c)                      Type of Account. The Collateral Account is, and shall be maintained as, either (i) a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC) or (ii) a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).

 

(d)                     Securities Account Provisions.  If and to the extent the Collateral Account is a securities account (within the meaning of Section 8-501(a) of the UCC):

 

(i)                         all securities, financial assets or other property credited to the Collateral Account, other than cash, shall be registered in the name of the Financial Institution, indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Financial Institution.  In no case shall any financial asset credited to the Collateral Account be registered in the name of the Grantor, payable to the order of the Grantor or

 











 

specially indorsed to the Grantor unless the foregoing have been specially indorsed to the Financial Institution or in blank;

 

(ii)                      all financial assets delivered to the Financial Institution pursuant to the Indenture shall be promptly credited to the Collateral Account; and

 

(iii)                   the Financial Institution hereby agrees that each item of property (whether investment property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) credited to the Collateral Account (to the extent that it constitutes a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC)) shall be treated as a “financial asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC.

 

Section 2.                              Secured Party Control.

 

(a)                     Control for Purposes of UCC.  The Financial Institution shall comply with written instructions or orders originated by the Secured Party (i) directing disposition of funds in the Collateral Account or (ii) directing transfer or redemption of the financial assets relating to the Collateral Account, without further consent by the Grantor or any other Person.

 

(b)                     Conflicting Orders or Instructions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the Financial Institution receives conflicting orders or instructions from the Secured Party and the Grantor, the Financial Institution shall be required to follow the orders or instructions of the Secured Party and not the Grantor.

 

(c)                      Reliance by Financial Institution.  The Financial Institution shall be entitled to rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof.  The Financial Institution may act in reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any Person purporting to give receipt or advice or make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

 

Section 3.                              Governing Law.

 

(a)                     Jurisdiction of Financial Institution.  Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be the jurisdiction of the Financial Institution in its capacity as bank for purposes of Sections 9-301, 9-304 and 9-307 of the UCC and the Financial Institution in its capacity as securities intermediary for purposes of Sections 9-301, 9-307, and 8-110(e) of the UCC.

 

(b)                     Law Governing this Agreement and the Collateral Account.  This Agreement and the Collateral Account shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General

 

2











 

Obligations Law of the State of New York, but otherwise without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

 

Section 4.                              Waiver of Lien: Waiver of Set-off.   For so long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Financial Institution subordinates all security interests, encumbrances, claims and rights of set-off it may have now or in the future against the Collateral Account, any financial asset credited thereto or any funds in the Collateral Account to the rights of the Secured Party; provided, that nothing herein constitutes a subordination or waiver of, and the Financial Institution expressly reserves all of, its present and future rights (whether described as rights of set-off, banker’s lien, chargeback or otherwise and whether available to the Financial Institution at law, in equity, or under the UCC) under any other agreement between the Financial Institution and the Grantor concerning the Collateral Account with respect to (a) items (any checks, electronic or paper drafts, electronic payment orders and credits or other instruments for the payment of money (as used in this Agreement, each, an “Item” and collectively, “Items”) payable or endorsed to the Grantor, to the Secured Party or to any of them) deposited into the Collateral Account that are returned unpaid, whether for insufficient funds or for any other reason; (b) overdrafts in the Collateral Account; and (c) the Financial Institution’s usual and customary charges for services rendered in connection with the Collateral Account (including obligations and liabilities arising out of any cash management services provided by the Financial Institution or any third party vendors with respect to the Collateral Account, including Automated Clearing House transactions, in each case, solely to the extent any such services are being provided with respect to the Collateral Account).  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the security interest of the Secured Party on behalf of the Noteholders in the Collateral Account is subordinate to the rights reserved by the Financial Institution in this paragraph.

 

Section 5.                              Possible Conflict with Other Agreements.

 

(a)                     Conflict With Other Agreements.  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor with respect to the Collateral Account, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

(b)                     Complete Agreement; Amendment.  This Agreement and the orders, instructions and notices required or permitted to be executed and delivered hereunder, together with the other Transaction Documents, set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and, subject to Section 5(a), supersede any prior agreement and contemporaneous oral agreements of the parties concerning its subject matter.  No amendment, modification or (except as otherwise specified in Section 13) termination of this Agreement, nor any assignment of any rights hereunder (except to the extent contemplated under Section 11), shall be binding on any party hereto unless it is in writing and is signed by all of the parties hereto, and any attempt to so amend, modify, terminate or assign, except pursuant to such writing, shall be null and void; provided, that unless (i) the amendment or the modification is solely for purposes of correcting a technical error, inconsistency or ambiguity, adding to the covenants or agreements to be observed by the Issuer for the benefit of the Noteholders, or complying with the requirements of the SEC or any other regulatory body or any Applicable

 

3











 

Law or (ii) the amendment or the modification does not adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders in any material respect as confirmed in an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer, the Issuer shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice of the amendment or other modification to the Noteholders and the amendment or the modification shall not be effective if the Controlling Party notifies the Issuer within such ten (10) Business Day period that it would be materially adversely affected by the amendment or the modification and does not consent to the amendment or the modification.  The Noteholders shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement for purposes of this provision.

 

(c)                      Existence of Other Agreements.  The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:

 

(i)                         There are no other agreements entered into between the Financial Institution and the Grantor with respect to the Collateral Account;

 

(ii)                      The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement shall not enter into, any agreement with any other Person (other than the Secured Party) relating to the Collateral Account pursuant to which it has agreed, or shall agree, to comply with entitlement orders (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) or instructions (within the meaning of Section 9-104 of the UCC) of such other Person; and

 

(iii)                   The Financial Institution has not entered into, and until the termination of this Agreement shall not enter into, any agreement purporting to limit or condition the obligation of the Financial Institution to comply with entitlement orders or instructions as set forth in Section 2(a).

 

Section 6.                              Adverse Claims.

 

(a)                     Adverse Claim.  Except for the claims and interests of the Secured Party and the Grantor, the Financial Institution does not know of any lien on, or claim to, or interest in the Collateral Account or in any “financial asset” (as defined in Section 8-102(a) of the UCC), cash or funds credited thereto.

 

(b)                     Notice.  If any Person asserts any lien, encumbrance or adverse claim (including any writ, garnishment, judgment, warrant of attachment, execution or similar process) against the Collateral Account (or in any financial asset, cash or funds carried therein), the Financial Institution shall promptly notify the Secured Party thereof in writing.

 

Section 7.                              Notice of Exclusive Control; Eligible Investments.

 

(a)                     Notice of Exclusive Control.  The Financial Institution may comply with instructions directing the disposition of funds in the Collateral Account originated by the Grantor or the Servicer (collectively, the “Authorized Parties”), or their respective authorized representatives (including directions by the Servicer with respect to the selection of investments constituting Eligible Investments), until such time as the Secured Party delivers a written notice

 

4











 

to the Financial Institution substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A (such notice, a “Notice of Exclusive Control”) that the Secured Party is thereby exercising exclusive control over the Collateral Account.  The Secured Party may at any time deliver a Notice of Exclusive Control to the Financial Institution and after the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Exclusive Control, it shall cease complying with instructions or other directions concerning the Collateral Account or funds on deposit therein originated by the Authorized Parties or their representatives and neither the Authorized Parties nor any Person acting through or under the Authorized Parties shall have access to the Collateral Account unless and until the Financial Institution has received written notice from the Secured Party that the Collateral Account has been released from the security interest pursuant to the Indenture or that such Notice of Exclusive Control otherwise has been rescinded.  The Grantor and the Servicer hereby agree with the Secured Party that they shall not provide any instructions hereunder unless such instructions are expressly permitted by the Indenture or the Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)                     Eligible Investments.  Subject to Section 7(a), the Financial Institution shall honor any instruction from the Servicer with respect to investments but only to the extent the requested investment constitutes an Eligible Investment.

 

Section 8.                              Maintenance of the Collateral Account.

 

(a)                     Correspondence, Statements and Confirmations.  The Financial Institution shall promptly send copies of all statements, confirmations and other correspondence concerning the Collateral Account and, if applicable, any financial assets credited thereto, to the Grantor, the Secured Party and the Servicer at the address for each set forth in Section 12.  The Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, hereby agrees to pay all reasonable and customary fees and expenses of the Financial Institution in connection with this Section 8(a).

 

(b)                     Tax Reporting.  All items of income, gain, expense and loss, if any, recognized in the Collateral Account and all interest, if any, relating to the Collateral Account, shall be reported to the IRS and all state and local taxing authorities under the name and taxpayer identification number of the Grantor.  All such reporting shall be solely the responsibility of the Grantor and not the Secured Party or the Financial Institution.

 

Section 9.                              Representations of the Financial Institution.  The Financial Institution hereby represents that:

 

(a)                     the Financial Institution is a national banking association, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States;

(g)                      the Financial Institution is a “securities intermediary” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and a “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC;

(a)                     Release.  Except for acting on instructions in violation of Section 2, or to the extent arising from the Financial Institution’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Financial Institution shall have no responsibility or liability to the Secured Party for complying with instructions concerning the Collateral Account from the Grantor or the Grantor’s authorized representatives which are received by the Financial Institution before the Financial Institution receives a Notice of Exclusive Control.  Subject to the preceding sentence, the Grantor and the Secured Party hereby agree that the Financial Institution is released from any and all liabilities to the Grantor and the Secured Party arising from the terms of this Agreement and the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof, except to the extent that such liabilities arise from the Financial Institution’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(b)                     Indemnification.  The Grantor shall at all times indemnify and save harmless the Financial Institution from and against any and all claims, actions and suits of others arising out of the terms of this Agreement or the compliance of the Financial Institution with the terms hereof and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising by reason of the same, except to the extent that such indemnification arises from the Financial Institution’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The provisions of this Section 10(b) shall survive the resignation or removal of the Financial Institution and the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 11.                       Successors; Assigns.

 

(a)                     Successors and Assigns.   The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be for the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective corporate or

limited liability company successors, assigns or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law.  Any corporation or association into which the Financial Institution may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the business of the Financial Institution’s corporate trust line of business, including all of the rights and obligations of the Financial Institution under this Agreement, may be transferred, shall be the successor Financial Institution under this Agreement without any further act.
