(a)                                 Advances.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower (i) requested a Term Loan Advance in the original principal amount of $10,000,000, which advance was funded on the Closing Date and (ii) shall request a Term Loan Advance in the principal amount of $10,000,000 to be funded on the Restatement Date.  Proceeds of an Advance shall be deposited into an account that is subject to a security interest in favor of Lender, perfected by an Account Control Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Advance Request.  To obtain a Term Loan Advance, Borrower shall complete, sign and deliver to Lender an Advance Request (at least five Business Days before the Advance Date).  Lender shall fund a Term Loan Advance in the manner requested by the Advance Request provided that each of the conditions precedent to such Term Loan Advance is satisfied as of the requested Advance Date.

 

(c)                                  Interest.  The principal balance of each Term Loan Advance shall bear interest thereon from such Advance Date at the Term Loan Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed.  The Term Loan Interest Rate will float and change on the day the Prime Rate changes from time to time.

 

(d)                                 Payment.  Borrower will pay interest on each Term Loan Advance on the first Business Day of each month, beginning the month after the applicable Advance Date.  Commencing on the Amortization Date, and continuing on the first Business Day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal balance of Term Loan Advances that are outstanding in 30 equal monthly installments of principal and interest (mortgage style).  The entire outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, and all other Secured Obligations with respect to the Term Loan Advances, shall be due and payable on Term Loan Maturity Date.  Borrower shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense. Lender will initiate debit entries to the Borrower’s account as authorized on the ACH Authorization on each payment date of all periodic

 

10











 

obligations payable to Lender under the Term Loan Advances.  Once repaid, the Term Loan Advances or any portion thereof may not be re-borrowed.

 

2.2                               Maximum Interest.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of California shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”).  If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Borrower has actually paid to Lender an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Borrower shall be applied as follows:  first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal of the Term Loan Advances; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of Lender’s accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Borrower.

 

2.3                               Default Interest.  In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees, shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c), plus five percent (5%) per annum In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.1(c).

 

2.4                               Prepayment.  At its option upon at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Advance by paying the entire outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all unpaid Lender’s fees and expenses accrued to the date of the repayment (including, without limitation, the End of Term Charge) together with a prepayment charge equal to the following percentage of the Advance amount being prepaid: if such Advance amounts are prepaid in any of the first twelve (12) months following the Restatement Date, two percent (2.00%);  after twelve (12) months following the Restatement Date but prior to twenty four (24) months following the Restatement Date, one and one half percent (1.5%); and after twenty four (24) months following the Restatement Date but prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date, one percent (1%) (each, a “Prepayment Charge”).  Borrower agrees that the Prepayment Charge is a reasonable calculation of Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early repayment of the Advances.  Borrower shall prepay the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest through the prepayment date and all unpaid Lender’s fees and expenses accrued to the date of the repayment (including the End of Term Charge) together with a Prepayment Charge upon the occurrence of a Change in Control.

 

2.5                               End of Term Charge.  On the earliest to occur of (i) October 1, 2016, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lender a charge equal to $345,000 (the

 

11











 

“End of Term Charge”).  Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Closing Date.

 

2.6                               Additional End of Term Charge. On the earliest to occur of (i) the Term Loan Maturity Date, (ii) the date that Borrower prepays the outstanding Secured Obligations, or (iii) the date that the Secured Obligations become due and payable, Borrower shall pay Lender a additional charge equal to $250,000 (the “Second Advance End of Term Charge”).  Notwithstanding the required payment date of such charge, it shall be deemed earned by Lender as of the Restatement Date.

 

2.7                               Notes.  If so requested by Lender by written notice to Borrower, then Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any person who is an assignee of Lender pursuant to Section 11.12) (promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence Lender’s Loans.

 

2.8                               Commitment Fee; Facility Charge. The parties acknowledge and agree that Borrower paid to Lender (i) a commitment fee of $45,000 on or before the Closing Date, and that such commitment fee was fully earned on the Closing Date and non-refundable regardless of the early termination of this Agreement and (ii) the Facility Charge of $125,000 on the Closing Date, and that such Facility Charge was fully earned on the Closing Date and non-refundable regardless of the early termination of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.                         SECURITY INTEREST

 

3.1                               As security for the prompt, complete and indefeasible payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations:

 

(a)                                 uniQure Holdings grants to Lender a first ranking right of pledge on its shares in uniQure and uniQure IP;

 

(b)                                 uniQure grants to Lender a first ranking right of pledge on its shares in its Dutch subsidiaries identified on the Schedule 1 hereto and a security interest in 100% of the capital stock of US Borrower;

 

(c)                                  Borrower (excluding US Borrower) grants to Lender a first ranking right of pledge on its (a) trade, intercompany and insurance receivables; (b) movable assets and (c) Deposit Accounts; and

 

(d)                                 US Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in all of US Borrower’s right, title, and interest in and to the following personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired:  (a) receivables; (b) equipment; (c) fixtures; (d) general intangibles (except as described below); (e) inventory; (f) Investment property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and all other tangible and intangible personal property of US Borrower whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, US Borrower and wherever located, and any of Borrower’s property in the possession or under the control of Lender; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).

 

12











 

3.2                               Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall the Collateral include, and the Borrower shall not be deemed to have granted a security interest in: (i) Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”); or (ii) any of the Borrower’s rights or interests in or under, any license, contract, permit, instrument, security or franchise to which the Borrower is a party or any of its rights or interests thereunder to the extent, but only to the extent, that such a grant would, under the terms of such license, contract, permit, instrument, security or franchise, result in a breach of the terms of, or constitute a default under, such license, contract, permit, instrument, security or franchise (other than to the extent that any such term would be rendered ineffective pursuant to the UCC or any other applicable law (including the Dutch and the United States Bankruptcy Code) or principles of equity); provided, that immediately upon the ineffectiveness, lapse or termination of any such provision the Collateral shall include, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all the rights and interests described in the foregoing clause (ii) as if such provision had never been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date of this Agreement, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Documents were executed and delivered by Borrower to Lender on the Closing Date.

 

4.2                               No Default.

Borrower is a private limited liability company duly incorporated and existing under the laws of the Netherlands, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or location of its properties require such qualifications and where the failure to be qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower’s present name, former names (if any), locations, place of formation, tax identification number, organizational identification number and other information are correctly set forth in Exhibit C, as may be updated by Borrower in a written notice (including any Compliance Certificate) provided to Lender after the Closing Date. US Borrower is corporation duly organized, legally existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions in which the nature of its business or location of its properties require such qualifications and where the failure to be qualified could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Except as described on Schedule 5.5, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity or by or before any governmental authority now pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower or its property (i) which seek to prevent, enjoin, hinder or delay the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected to, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

 

5.6                               Laws.  Borrower, to its knowledge,  is not in violation of any law, rule or regulation, or in default with respect to any judgment, writ, injunction or decree of any governmental authority, where such violation or default is reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower, to its knowledge, is not in default in any manner under any provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing indebtedness, or any other material agreement to which it is a party or by which it is bound and for which such default would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s business.

 

5.7                               Information Correct and Current.  No information, report, Advance Request, financial statement, exhibit or schedule furnished, by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender in connection with any Loan Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto contained, contains or will contain any material misstatement of fact or omitted, omits or will omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were, are or will be made, not misleading at the time such statement was made or deemed made.

Except as described on Schedule 5.8, (a) Borrower has filed all federal, state and local tax returns that it is required to file, (b) Borrower has duly paid or fully reserved for all taxes or installments thereof (including any interest or penalties) as and when due, which have or may become due pursuant to such returns, and (c) Borrower has paid or fully

 

15











 

reserved for any tax assessment received by Borrower for the three (3) years preceding the Closing Date, if any (including any taxes being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings).

 

5.9                               Intellectual Property Claims.  Borrower is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property.  Except as described on Schedule 5.9, (i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) no claim has been made in writing to Borrower that any material part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party. Exhibit D is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses and other licenses for over-the-counter software), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.

 

5.10                        Intellectual Property.  Except as described on Schedule 5.10, Borrower has, or in the case of any proposed business, will have, all material rights with respect to Intellectual Property necessary in the operation or conduct of Borrower’s business as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted by Borrower.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and in the case of Licenses, except for restrictions that are unenforceable under Division 9 of the UCC, Borrower has the right, to the extent required to operate Borrower’s business, to freely transfer, license or assign Intellectual Property without condition, restriction or payment of any kind (other than license payments in the ordinary course of business) to any third party, and Borrower owns or has the right to use, pursuant to valid licenses, all software development tools, library functions, compilers and all other third-party software and other items that are necessary in the design, development, promotion, sale, license, manufacture, import, export, use or distribution of Borrower Products.

 

5.11                        Borrower Products.  Except as described on Schedule 5.11, no Intellectual Property owned by Borrower or Borrower Product has been or is subject to any actual or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened litigation, proceeding or outstanding decree, order, judgment, settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any material manner Borrower’s use, transfer or licensing thereof or that may materially affect the validity, use or enforceability thereof. There is no decree, order, judgment, agreement, stipulation, arbitral award or other provision entered into in connection with any litigation or proceeding that obligates Borrower to grant licenses or ownership interest in any future Intellectual Property related to the operation or conduct of the business of Borrower or Borrower Products.  Borrower has not received any written notice or claim, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, oral notice or claim, challenging or questioning Borrower’s ownership in any Intellectual Property (or written notice of any claim challenging or questioning the ownership in any licensed Intellectual Property of the owner thereof) or suggesting that any third party has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, is there a reasonable basis for any such claim.

5.13                        Employee Loans.  Borrower has no outstanding loans to any employee, officer or director of the Borrower nor has Borrower guaranteed the payment of any loan made to an employee, officer or director of the Borrower by a third party.

 

5.14                        Capitalization and Subsidiaries.  Borrower’s capitalization as of the Closing Date is set forth on Schedule 5.14 annexed hereto.  Borrower does not own any stock, partnership interest or other securities of any Person, except for Permitted Investments.  Attached as Schedule 5.14, as may be updated by Borrower in a written notice provided after the Closing Date, is a true, correct and complete list of each Subsidiary.

 

5.15                        Centre of main interests and establishments. Borrower has its’ “centre of main interests” (as that term is used in article 3(1) of The Council of the European Union Regulation No. 1346/2000 on Insolvency Proceedings) in the Netherlands.

 

SECTION 6.                         INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION

 

6.1                               Coverage.  Borrower shall cause to be carried and maintained commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence form, against risks customarily insured against in Borrower’s line of business.  Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification agreement found in Section 6.3.  Borrower must maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 of commercial general liability insurance for each occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.  Borrower has and agrees to maintain a minimum of $2,000,000 of directors’ and officers’ insurance for each occurrence and $5,000,000 in the aggregate.  So long as there are any Secured Obligations outstanding, Borrower shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles.  Borrower shall also carry and maintain a fidelity insurance policy in an amount not less than $100,000.

 

6.2                               Certificates.  Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates of insurance that evidence Borrower’s compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.1 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.2.  Borrower’s insurance certificate shall state Lender is an additional insured for commercial general liability, a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval, a loss payee for fidelity insurance, and a loss payee for property insurance and additional insured for liability insurance for any future insurance that Borrower

 

17











 

may acquire from such insurer, unless any right under the liability insurance is restricted from being pledged under Section 7:954(4) of the Dutch Civil Code.  Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance and fidelity.  Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance proceeds shall be paid or turned over to Borrower.  All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days advance written notice to Lender of cancellation or any other change adverse to Lender’s interests.  Any failure of Lender to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Lender’s rights, all of which are reserved.

 

6.3                               Indemnity.  Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold Lender and its officers, directors, employees, agents, in-house attorneys, representatives and shareholders harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities (including such claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities based on liability in tort, including strict liability in tort), including reasonable documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of investigation or defense (including those incurred upon any appeal), that may be instituted or asserted against or incurred by Lender or any such Person as the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the administration of such credit, or in connection with or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder, or any actions or failures to act in connection therewith, or arising out of the disposition or utilization of the Collateral, excluding in all cases claims resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to pay, and to save Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all excise, sales or other similar taxes (excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income of Lender) that may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or this Agreement.

In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of Borrower to discuss such books of account and records.  In addition, Lender shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals to consult with and advise the management and officers of Borrower concerning significant business issues affecting Borrower.  Such consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with Borrower’s business operations.  The parties intend that the rights granted Lender shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by Lender with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by Lender of, control over Borrower’s management or policies.

 

7.3                               Further Assurances.  Borrower shall from time to time execute, deliver and file, alone or with Lender, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, or other documents to perfect or give the highest priority to Lender’s Lien on the Collateral.  Borrower shall from time to time procure any instruments or documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, to perfect and protect the Liens granted hereby and thereby.  In addition, and for such purposes only, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to execute and deliver on behalf of Borrower and to file such financing statements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other documents necessary to grant, perfect and give the highest priority to Lender’s Lien on the Collateral without the signature of Borrower either in Lender’s name or in the name of Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact for Borrower.  Borrower shall protect and defend Borrower’s title to the Collateral and Lender’s Lien thereon against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to Borrower or Lender other than Permitted Liens.

 

7.4                               Indebtedness.  Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness, or permit any Subsidiary so to do, other than Permitted Indebtedness, or prepay any Indebtedness or take any actions which impose on Borrower an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, except for the conversion of Indebtedness into equity securities and the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares in connection with such conversion.

Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries to protect and defend such Subsidiary’s title to its assets from and against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to such Subsidiary, and Borrower shall cause its Subsidiaries at all times to keep such Subsidiary’s property and assets free and clear from any legal process or Liens whatsoever (except for Permitted Liens), and shall give Lender prompt written notice of any legal process affecting such Subsidiary’s assets.

7.7                               Distributions.  Borrower shall not, and shall not allow any Subsidiary to, (a) repurchase or redeem any class of stock or other equity interest other than pursuant to employee, director or consultant repurchase plans, stock option plans or agreements, restricted stock agreements or other similar agreements, provided, however, in each case the repurchase or redemption price does not exceed the original consideration paid for such stock or equity interest, or (b) declare or pay any cash dividend or make a cash distribution on any class of stock or other equity interest, except that a Subsidiary may pay dividends or make distributions to Borrower, or (c) lend money to any employees, officers or directors or guarantee the payment of any such loans granted by a third party in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate or (d) waive, release or forgive any indebtedness owed by any employees, officers or directors in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate.

Borrower shall not merge or consolidate, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to merge or consolidate, with or into any other business organization (other than mergers or consolidations of (i) a Subsidiary into Borrower, or (ii) of a Subsidiary which is not a Borrower into any Subsidiary or into Borrower, provided, in each case, that with respect to any merger into Borrower, Borrower is the surviving entity) or acquire, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to acquire, all or substantially all of the capital stock or property of another Person.

Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, (i) Lender may, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations together with a Prepayment Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.6, all of the Secured Obligations shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act), and (ii) Lender may notify any of Borrower’s account debtors to make payment directly to Lender, compromise the amount of any such account on Borrower’s behalf and endorse Lender’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to Lender’s account.  Lender may exercise all rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents or otherwise available to it under the laws of the Netherlands, the UCC and other applicable law, including the right to release, hold, sell, lease, liquidate, collect, realize upon, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral and the right to occupy, utilize, process and commingle the Collateral.

 

10.2                        Collection; Foreclosure.  Unless otherwise agreed in the Collateral Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time, apply, collect, liquidate, sell in one or more sales, lease or otherwise dispose of, any or all of the Collateral, in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing, in such order as Lender may elect.  Any such sale may be made either at public or private sale at its place of business or elsewhere.  Borrower agrees that any such public or private sale may occur upon ten (10) calendar days’ prior written notice to Borrower.  Lender may require Borrower to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Lender at a place designated by Lender that is reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower.

24

11.3                        Entire Agreement; Amendments.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede and replace in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, non-disclosure or confidentiality agreements, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof (including Lender’s proposal letter dated March 29, 2014).  None of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.

 

11.4                        No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.5                        No Waiver.  The powers conferred upon Lender by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Lender to exercise any such powers.  No omission or delay by Lender at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by Borrower at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Lender is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Lender to enforce such provisions thereafter.

 

11.6                        Survival.  All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Lender and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.

 

11.7                        Successors and Assigns.  The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on Borrower and its permitted assigns (if any).  Borrower shall not assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents without Lender’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect.  Lender may assign, transfer, or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents without prior notice to Borrower, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Lender’s successors and assigns.

 

11.8                        Governing Law.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the Netherlands.

 

26









 

11.9                        Jurisdiction.  The courts (Rechtbank) of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, subject to ordinary appeal and final appeal shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding and to settle any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including a dispute regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or the consequences of its nullity) and, for such purposes, each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.  This Section is for the benefit of the Lender only.  As a result, the Lender may take proceedings relating to a dispute in any other courts with jurisdiction.  To the extent allowed by law, the Lender may take concurrent proceedings in any number of jurisdictions.

 

11.10                 Professional Fees.  Borrower promises to pay Lender’s documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses necessary to finalize the loan documentation, including but not limited to reasonable documented attorneys’ fees, UCC searches, filing costs, and other miscellaneous expenses. In addition, Borrower promises to pay any and all reasonable documented attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of in-house counsel) incurred by Lender after the Closing Date in connection with or related to:  (a) the Loan; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Loan; (c) the amendment or modification of the Loan Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Loan Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to Borrower or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to Borrower, the Collateral, the Loan Documents, including representing Lender in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of Borrower’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.

 

11.11                 Confidentiality.  Lender acknowledges that all financial statements provided to Lender by Borrower and certain items of Collateral and information provided to Lender by Borrower are confidential and proprietary information of Borrower, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by Borrower at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”).  Accordingly, Lender agrees that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Borrower, except that Lender may disclose any such information:  (a) to its own directors, officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors and to its affiliates if Lender in its sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Loan or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Lender; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Lender’s counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Lender; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or

 

27











 

remedy under any Loan Document, including Lender’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default; (g) to any participant or assignee of Lender or any prospective participant or assignee; provided, that such participant or assignee or prospective participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; or (h) otherwise with the prior consent of Borrower; provided, that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of Borrower or any of its affiliates or any guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

11.12                 Assignment of Rights.  Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender may sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Loan Documents to any person or entity (an “Assignee”).  After such assignment the term “Lender” as used in the Loan Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Lender hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Lender shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given.  No such assignment by Lender shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations hereunder.  Lender agrees that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s) (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.

 

11.13                 Revival of Secured Obligations.  This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against Borrower for liquidation or reorganization, if Borrower becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of Borrower’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Lender.  The Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Lender, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Lender or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made.  In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Loan Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Lender in Cash.

 

11.14                 Counterparts.  This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

11.15                 Publicity.

A.  Subsidiary’s Affiliates, (i) UNIQURE BIOPHARMA B.V., a                            (“uniQure”), (ii) UNIQURE IP B.V., a                           (“uniQure IP”), (iii) each of the subsidiaries of uniQure (uniQure, uniQure IP and such subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Borrower”) have entered into that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated June     , 2014, with Lender, as such agreement may be amended (the “Loan Agreement”), together with the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith;

 

B.  Subsidiary acknowledges and agrees that it will benefit both directly and indirectly from Borrower’s execution of the Loan Agreement and the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith;
