Re:                                 Reset Offer of Common Stock Purchase Warrants

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is pleased to offer to you the opportunity to reprice the exercise of all of the Common Stock purchase warrants set forth on Annex I attached hereto (collectively, the “Reprice Warrants”) currently held by you (the “Holder”). The shares underlying the Reprice Warrants (“Warrant Shares”) have been registered for resale pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-214956) (the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement is currently effective and, upon exercise of the Reprice Warrants pursuant to this letter agreement, will be effective for the issuance or resale, as the case may be, of the Warrant Shares. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2016, by and among the Company and the signatories thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

In consideration for exercising in some or all of the Reprice Warrants held by you (the “Warrant Exercise”), the Company hereby offers you a reduced exercise price of the Reprice Warrants as follows: $0.40 for all Series C Warrants. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Warrant Exercise would otherwise cause the Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations (“Beneficial Ownership Limitation”) in the Reprice Warrants, the Company shall only issue such number of Warrant Shares to the Holder that would not cause such Holder to exceed the maximum number of Warrant Shares permitted thereunder with the balance to be held in abeyance until notice from such Holder that the balance (or portion thereof) may be issued in compliance with such limitations.

 

Expressly subject to the paragraph immediately following this paragraph below, Holder may accept this offer by signing this letter below, with such acceptance constituting Holder’s exercise of some or all of the Reprice Warrants for an aggregate exercise price as set forth on the Holder’s signature page hereto (the “Warrants Exercise Price”) on or before 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2017 (the “Outside Exercise Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the Holder does not exercise all of such Holder’s Warrants issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement on or prior to the Outside Exercise Time, all of the original terms and provisions of such Warrants, including the original exercise prices thereunder, shall remain in full force and effect and the Holder shall have no right to exercise the Warrants for the reduced exercise prices stated herein.

 

Additionally, the Company agrees to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth on Annex A attached hereto.

 

From the date hereof until ten (10) Trading Days after the date hereof, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not apply in respect of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents to be issued in connection with: (i) the previously announced acquisition of Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or (ii) the Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan.

 











 

If this offer is accepted and the transaction documents are executed on or before the Outside Exercise Time, then on or before 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 31, 2017, the Company shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing all material terms of the transactions  contemplated hereunder. The Company shall also file an amendment to the prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement disclosing the reduced exercise price of the Reprice Warrants within two (2) Trading Days. The Company represents, warrants and covenants that, upon acceptance of this offer, the shares underlying the Reprice Warrants shall be issued free of any legends or restrictions on resale by Holder and all of the Warrant Shares shall be delivered electronically through the Depository Trust Company within one (1) Business Day of the date the Company receives the Warrants Exercise Price (or, with respect to shares that would otherwise be in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, within two (2) Business Days of the date the Company is notified by Holder that its ownership is less than the Beneficial Ownership Limitation). The terms of the Reprice Warrants, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver the Warrant Shares, shall otherwise remain in effect as if the acceptance of this offer were a formal Notice of Exercise (including but not limited to any liquidated damages and compensation in the event of late delivery of the Warrant Shares).

 

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Holders under this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder of any other holders of Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the Company (each, an “Other Holder”) under any other agreement related to the exercise of such warrants (“Other Warrant Exercise Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or under any such Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. Nothing contained in this letter agreement, and no action taken by the Holders pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders and the Other Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders and the Other Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement and the Company acknowledges that the Holders and the Other Holders are not acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this letter agreement or any Other Warrant Exercise Agreement. The Company and the Holders confirm that the Holders have independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Holders shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce their rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this letter agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder with respect to any Other Warrant Exercise Agreement (or any amendment, modification or waiver thereof), is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holders and this letter agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into an Other Warrant Exercise Agreement, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holders promptly following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this letter agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holders or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Other Warrant Exercise Agreement (including the issuance of additional Warrant Shares); provided  that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this letter agreement shall apply to the Holders as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holders. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to each Other Warrant Exercise Agreement.
