4.                                    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE PURCHASERS

 

Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the Effective Date:

 

4.1                               Authorization. Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

 

4.2                               Purchase for Own Account. Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Notes and the Conversion Securities (collectively, the “Securities”) solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Securities or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities.

 

4.3                               Information and Sophistication.

4.5.                            Restricted Securities. The Purchaser understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Act, and will be issued and sold only pursuant to a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold the Securities indefinitely unless they are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy. The Purchaser understands that no public market now exists for any of the securities issued by the Company, that the Company has made no assurances that a public market will ever exist for the Securities.

TETRALOGIC PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION

UNSECURED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
USD $3,000,000
    	
May 16,   2013
    


 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED in immediately available funds from AMGEN INC., the undersigned, TETRALOGIC PHARMACEUTICALS CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay to the order of AMGEN INC., or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), the principal sum of Three Million Dollars (USD $3,000,000) in lawful money of the United States of America, together with interest as provided herein. This Note has been executed by the Company on the date listed on the signature page hereto.

 

This Note has been issued pursuant to, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of May 16, 2013, by and among the Company and Holder. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

 

The following is a statement of the rights of the Holder of this Note and the conditions to which this Note is subject and to which the Holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:

 

1.                                 Maturity Date. Unless earlier converted in accordance with Section 2 hereof, on the earliest of (a) May 16, 2015, (b) the closing of a Liquidation (as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended to date) or (c) the date on which an Event of Default (as defined below) has occurred and repayment of this Note has been accelerated pursuant to Section 5.2 (the “Maturity Date”), the Company shall pay to Holder, in cash, the amount of the then outstanding principal balance of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest hereon.

 

2.                                 Note Conversion.

 

2.1                               Automatic Conversion Upon the Occurrence of a Financing. If, after the date hereof, the Company shall obtain equity investments from an investor or a group of investors aggregating at least $15,000,000 (provided, however, that at least $7,500,000 shall have been raised from investors that are not then currently a debtholder or shareholder in the Company), excluding any principal and interest on the Note converted into equity securities in such financing (a “Qualified Financing”), then all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall, effective on the closing date of such Qualified Financing automatically convert into such number of shares of the type of equity securities to be issued in the equity financing equal to the quotient of:

 

(a)  the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b)  the lowest price per share actually paid by the investors participating in the equity financing for the securities issued in such Qualified Financing.

 











 

For clarity, any convertible debt obligations of Company outstanding as of the date of this Note (and any equity securities converted from any such debt obligations) shall not be included for the purposes determining whether a Qualified Financing has occurred, and the issuance of any convertible debt obligations after the date of this Note shall not be included for the purposes determining whether a Qualified Financing has occurred until such debt obligations have converted into equity securities.

 

2.2                               Optional Conversion Upon the Occurrence of Non-Qualified Financing. If, after the date hereof, the Company shall obtain an equity investment from an investor or a group of investors which does not qualify as a Qualified Financing (a “Non-Qualified Financing”), all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall, at the Holder’s option and effective on the date of such Non-Qualified Financing, be converted into such number of shares of the type of equity securities to be issued in the Non-Qualified Financing equal to the quotient of:

 

(a)  the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b)  the lowest price per share actually paid by the investors participating in the Non-Qualified Financing for the securities issued in such Non-Qualified Financing.

 

2.3                               Optional Conversion Outside of a Financing. If this Note has not been converted or repaid prior to twenty four (24) months following the date hereof, the Notes may be converted at the option of the Holder into such number of shares of the Company’s Series C-1 Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred”) equal to the quotient of:

 

(a)  the aggregate amount of then outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest on this Note divided by

 

(b)  the original purchase price for the Series C-1 Preferred.

 

2.4                               Conversion Procedure. If this Note is converted to equity securities pursuant to Section 2, the following terms shall govern such conversion.

 

2.4.1                     Notice of Conversion. With respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 2.1, not less than ten days prior to the closing of the Qualified Financing the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Note at the address shown on the records of the Company for the Holder, notifying the Holder of the conversion to be effective, specifying the equity securities into which this Note shall be converted, the principal amount of the Note to be converted, the amount of accrued interest to be converted, and the date on which the Qualified Financing (and the conversion of this Note) will occur. With respect to a conversion pursuant to Section 2.2, not less than ten days prior to the closing of the Non-Qualified Financing, the Company shall deliver written notice to the Holder of this Note at the address shown on the records of the Company for the Holder, notifying the Holder of the material terms, including, without limitation, the total amount invested, the type of securities sold and the closing date of the Non-Qualified Financing (the “Non-Qualified Financing Notice”). In the event the Holder

 

2











 

elects to exercise its conversion right pursuant to Section 2.2, the Holder shall, within ten (10) days of the Holder’s receipt of the Non-Qualified Financing Notice, deliver written notice to the Company of such election.
