RE: 3rd Amendment to the 2016 Letter Agreement and Promissory Note between The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (“UNC”) and Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (“Liquidia”)

 

Dear Trude,

 

As you know, UNC and Liquidia entered into a letter agreement dated June 10, 2016, amended by a 1st Amendment, effective December 1, 2017 (the “1st Amendment”), as amended by a 2nd Amendment, effective June 15, 2018 (the “2nd Amendment” and, collectively with the 1st Amendment, the “2016 Letter Agreement”), which, in part, included an agreement to enter a promissory note on monies owed by Liquidia to UNC, which was also entered on June 10, 2016 (the “Promissory Note”).  The Promissory Note originally had a maturity date of December 31, 2017, which maturity date was subsequently extended to June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2018 pursuant to the 1st Amendment and 2nd Amendment, respectively.

 

Pursuant to Section 7.4 of that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of January 6, 2016, as amended (the “LSA”), by and between Liquidia and Pacific Western Bank, a California state chartered bank (the “Bank”), Liquidia may not, without the Bank’s prior written consent, prepay any Indebtedness (as defined in the LSA) or take any actions which impose on Liquidia an obligation to prepay any Indebtedness, except Indebtedness to the Bank.  UNC and Liquidia understand that the Bank has provided written consent to the prepayment modifications to the 2016 Letter Agreement and the Promissory Note set forth below.

 

This letter agreement shall serve as a third amendment to the 2016 Letter Agreement and the Promissory Note, whereby Liquidia and UNC hereby acknowledge and agree that, in the event that Liquidia consummates an initial public offering of its common stock in the United States in 2018 and (i) gross proceeds from such offering are at least $75 million, the entire outstanding loan amount under the Promissory Note shall become immediately due and payable; or (ii) the gross proceeds from such offering are greater than $50 million and less than $75 million, $600,000 of the outstanding loan amount under the Promissory Note shall become due and payable, with the remaining balance of the loan to be amortized and payable in equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the LSA until the loan amount is fully paid on October

 

1











 

10, 2020.  In the event that Liquidia does not consummate an initial public offering of its common stock in the United States in 2018 or the gross proceeds from such offering are not greater than $50 million, Liquidia and UNC hereby acknowledge and agree that the entire outstanding loan amount under the Promissory Note shall be due and payable on December 31, 2018.

 

The parties intend for all other terms and conditions of the 2016 Letter Agreement, the Promissory Note and the subordination agreement between UNC and the Bank to continue in full force and effect.

 

The understandings set forth in this 3rd Amendment shall be effective on the date first written above upon countersigning by UNC below.

Dear Trude:

 

Re: 2nd Amendment to the 2016 Letter Agreement and Promissory Note between the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (“UNC”) and Liquidia Technologies, Inc. (“Liquidia”)

 

As you will recall, UNC and Liquidia entered into a letter agreement dated June 10, 2016, amended by a 1st Amendment, effective December 1, 2017, (collectively the “2016 Letter Agreement”), which, in part, included an agreement to enter a promissory note on monies owed by Liquidia to UNC, which was also entered on June 10, 2016, (the “Promissory Note”). As you will also recall, that Promissory Note includes a maturity date of December 31, 2017. Moreover, the 1st Amendment to the 2016 Letter Agreement extended such maturity date of the Promissory Note to June 30, 2018.

 

This letter agreement shall serve as an amendment to the 2016 Letter Agreement and the Promissory Note, whereby Liquidia and UNC hereby agree to extend the maturity date of the Promissory Note from June 30, 2018, to December 31, 2018 (the “2nd Amendment”). The parties intend for all other terms and condition of the 2016 Letter Agreement and the Promissory Note to continue in force as adjusted through the new maturity date of December 31, 2018, including but not limited to the continuation of interest under the applicable terms of the 2016 Letter Agreement (Section B) and the Promissory Note (Interest).

 

The understandings set forth in this 2nd Amendment shall be effective on the date first written above upon countersigning by UNC below.
