Agent and each Feinberg Party expressly agrees and understands that the release given by it pursuant to this provision applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims which it may have against the Company that it has released.

THIS DEBT SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) dated this 31st day of March, 2017 (the “Agreement Date”), is made and entered into between Boies Schiller Flexner LLP (“Boies Schiller”) Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”).

 

1.              RECITALS

 

a.                                      Company is indebted to Boies Schiller for services rendered in an aggregate amount, as of March 31, 2017, equal to $1,863,071.20 plus any fees, costs, charges, or interest related thereto whether currently outstanding or arising after the date hereof (the “Obligation”).

 

b.                                      As a complete settlement and satisfaction of the Obligation, Company has offered, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to pay in the Obligation by, pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as defined below), causing Jaguar (as defined below) to issue and deliver to Boies Schiller upon consummation of the Merger (as defined below) 2,014,131 non-voting shares of common stock of Jaguar (such shares, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, combinations, reclassifications, reorganizations and similar transactions effected after the Effective Date as necessary to reflect the intention of the parties hereto, the “Settlement Shares”).

 

c.                                       Boies Schiller is willing to accept Company’s offer to pay in kind the Obligation by delivering the Settlement Shares to Boies Schiller upon consummation of the Merger, as a complete settlement and satisfaction of the Obligation, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

 

2.              CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.  The following are conditions precedent to Boies Schiller’s obligations under Section 5 of this Agreement:

 

a.                                      Receipt by Boies Schiller of a fully executed copy of this Agreement.

 

b.                                      Receipt by Boies Schiller of a fully executed copy of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) between Company and Napo Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Jaguar Animal Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Jaguar”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

c.                                       The consummation of the merger between Company and Merger Sub pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”).

 

d.                                      The representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof.

 

 

e.                                       Upon consummation of the Merger Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Boies Schiller, certificates representing the Settlement Shares.

 

3.              COMPANY’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Company represents and warrants that:

 

a.                                      it is duly authorized to execute this Agreement and has all requisite power, authority, and approval required to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement;

 

b.                                      this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Company enforceable against Company in accordance with its terms (except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws or equitable principles limiting to the rights of creditors generally); and

 

c.                                       it has the right to enter into this Agreement without the consent of any third party (other than consents which have been obtained) and the execution and delivery of this Agreement does not violate any agreement to which Company is a party or otherwise bound (after giving effect to contemporaneous amendments and consents to any such agreements).

 

4.              BOIES SCHILLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.  Boies Schiller represents and warrants to Company and Jaguar that:

 

a.                                      Boies Schiller has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions.  All action on Boies Schiller’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken.  Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Boies Schiller, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium or other laws or equitable principles limiting to the rights of creditors generally).

 

b.                                      Boies Schiller is aware that the Settlement Shares to be issued to Boies Schiller have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and that the Settlement Shares are deemed to constitute “restricted securities” under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”).  Boies Schiller also understands that the Settlement Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Boies Schiller’s representations contained in this Agreement.

 

c.                                       Boies Schiller is obtaining the Settlement Shares for its own account and Boies Schiller has no present intention of distributing or selling the securities except as permitted under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

 

d.                                      Boies Schiller has sufficient knowledge and experience in business and financial matters to evaluate Jaguar, its proposed activities and the risks and merits of this investment.  Boies Schiller has the ability to accept the high risk and lack of liquidity inherent in this type of investment.  Boies Schiller has conducted its own independent investigation of Jaguar and has

 

2

 

reached its own conclusions regarding the risks and merits of this investment.  Boies Schiller is not relying upon any representations or warranties from Company or Jaguar except as explicitly set forth herein.

 

e.                                       Boies Schiller had an opportunity to discuss Jaguar’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of Jaguar.  Boies Schiller has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from Jaguar and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.  Boies Schiller understands the significant risks of this investment.

 

f.                                        Boies Schiller has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Settlement Shares by virtue of its business or financial expertise.

 

g.                                      Boies Schiller understands that the Settlement Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available.  Boies Schiller has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, as in effect from time to time, which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things, the availability of certain current public information about Jaguar, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144, and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations.

 

h.                                      Boies Schiller acknowledges and agrees that the Settlement Shares upon issuance shall bear customary restrictive legends referencing their restrictions on transfer in accordance with the Securities Act.

 

i.                                         If Boies Schiller is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Boies Schiller hereby represents that Boies Schiller has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for or otherwise acquire the Settlement Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Settlement Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained in connection with such purchase, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Settlement Shares.  Jaguar’s offer and sale and Boies Schiller’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of (or Company’s transfer of, as applicable) the Settlement Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Boies Schiller’s jurisdiction.

 

j.                                         Boies Schiller has reviewed this Agreement in its entirety, has had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing this Agreement and fully understands all provisions of this Agreement. Boies Schiller acknowledges that no other representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made by Company or any agent thereof except as set forth in this Agreement.

l.                                         Boies Schiller is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

 

m.                                  Boies Schiller is aware that Company and Jaguar are relying on the accuracy of the above representations to establish compliance with Federal and State securities laws.  If any such warranties or representations are not true and accurate in any respect as of the Effective Date (as defined below), Boies Schiller shall so notify Company in writing immediately and shall be cause for rescission by Company at its sole election.  Boies Schiller represents that neither Boies Schiller, nor any person or entity with whom Boies Schiller shares beneficial ownership of Jaguar’s securities, is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act, attached hereto as Annex I.

 

5.              BOIES SCHILLER’S OBLIGATIONS AND AGREEMENTS.  Upon satisfaction (or waiver by Boies Schiller) of the conditions precedent in Section 2 of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”), Boies Schiller agrees that:

 

a.                                      the Obligation shall be deemed paid in full and extinguished;

 

b.                                      all security interests and liens granted to Boies Schiller on any personal property (including, but not limited to, any intellectual property) and real property of the Company and any of its affiliates, if any, are automatically terminated and of no further force and effect;

 

c.                                       the Company, its affiliates and designees are hereby authorized to file on behalf of Boies Schiller, all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements with respect to any UCC financing statements filed by or on behalf of Boies Schiller against the Company or any of its affiliates, including, without limitation, the UCC-1;

 

d.                                      Boies Schiller will promptly deliver such documents and take such other actions as Company may request in order to effectuate the termination of the Obligation and the release and termination of its security interests in the property of Company and its affiliates; and

 

e.                                       Boies Schiller will reflect on its books and records that the Obligation has been paid in full.

 

6.              FORBEARANCE.  In reliance upon Company’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Boies Schiller hereby agrees, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending at 5:00 pm Eastern Time on July 31, 2017 to forbear from exercising any of its  rights and remedies relating to the Obligation or in any way seeking to collect the Obligation except as expressly contemplated in this Agreement, including, without limitation, by commencing any proceeding with respect thereto.

7.              MUTUAL RELEASE.  In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, Company, and Boies Schiller hereby agree as follows, effective upon consummation of the Merger:

 

a.                                      Release by Company:

 

i.            Company does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Boies Schiller, and its respective past and present officers, directors, attorneys, affiliates, employees and agents, of and from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or of any relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, causes of action, defenses, offsets, debts, sums of money, accounts, compensation, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set forth herein at length (each, a “Company Released Claim” and collectively, the “Company Released Claims”), that Company hereunder has as of the date of the consummation of the Merger or may acquire in any way arising out of, connected with or related to the Obligation.

 

ii.        Each person signing below on behalf of Company hereunder acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this Section 7(a).  Each such person fully understands that this Section 7(a) has important legal consequences, and each such person realizes that they are releasing any and all Company Released Claims that Company may have.  Company hereby acknowledges that each of them has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer’s advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this Section 7(a).

 

iii.    Company hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that:  (i) none of the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of Boies Schiller; (ii) the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall constitute an absolute bar to any Company Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Company Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Company Released Claim barred by the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall subject Company to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.

 

iv.     Company expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable), which states as follows:

 

5

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

Company expressly agrees and understands that the release given by it pursuant to this provision applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims which it may have against Boies Schiler that it has released.  Company understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable) is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages relating in any way to any dispute, that Company will not be permitted to make any claim for those damages against the Company that it has released pursuant to this Agreement.  Furthermore, Company acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may now exist as of the date of this Agreement but which are not known to exist, and which, if known would materially affect its decision to execute these releases, regardless of whether their lack of knowledge, or the lack of knowledge of any one of them, is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.

 

b.                                      Release by Boies Schiller.

 

i.            Boies Schiller, for itself and on behalf of its respective successors and assigns, does hereby release, acquit and forever discharge Company and Jaguar and all of their respective past and present officers, directors, attorneys, affiliates, employees and agents, of and from any and all claims, demands, obligations, liabilities, indebtedness, breaches of contract, breaches of duty or of any relationship, acts, omissions, misfeasance, malfeasance, causes of action, defenses, offsets, debts, sums of money, accounts, compensation, contracts, controversies, promises, damages, costs, losses and expenses, of every type, kind, nature, description or character, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, liquidated or unliquidated, each as though fully set forth herein at length (each, a “Boies Schiller Released Claim” and collectively, the “Boies Schiller Released Claims”), that Boies Schiller hereunder now has as of the date of the consummation of the Merger or may acquire in any way arising out of, connected with or related to the Obligation.

 

ii.        Each person signing below on behalf of Boies Schiller hereunder acknowledges that he or she has read each of the provisions of this Section 7(b).  Each such person fully understands that this Section 7(b) has important legal consequences, and each such person realizes that they are releasing any and all Boies Schiller Released Claims that Boies Schiller may have.  Boies Schiller hereunder hereby acknowledge that each of

 

6

 

them has had an opportunity to obtain a lawyer’s advice concerning the legal consequences of each of the provisions of this Section 7(b).

 

iii.    Boies Schiller hereby specifically acknowledge and agree that:  (i) none of the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall be construed as or constitute an admission of any liability on the part of Company; (ii) the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall constitute an absolute bar to any Boies Schiller Released Claim of any kind, whether any such Boies Schiller Released Claim is based on contract, tort, warranty, mistake or any other theory, whether legal, statutory or equitable; and (iii) any attempt to assert a Boies Schiller Released Claim barred by the provisions of this Section 7(b) shall subject Boies Schiller to the provisions of applicable law setting forth the remedies for the bringing of groundless, frivolous or baseless claims or causes of action.

 

iv.     Boies Schiller expressly waives any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable), which states as follows:

 

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

 

Boies Schiller expressly agrees and understands that the release given by it pursuant to this provision applies to all unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims which it may have against the Company that it has released.  Boies Schiller understands and acknowledges that the significance and consequence of this waiver of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (and any similar or like statute or other law which may be applicable) is that even if it should eventually suffer additional damages relating in any way to any dispute, that Boies Schiller will not be permitted to make any claim for those damages against the Company that it has released pursuant to this Agreement.  Furthermore, Boies Schiller acknowledges that it intends these consequences even as to claims for damages that may now exist as of the date of this Agreement but which are not known to exist, and which, if known would materially affect its decision to execute these releases, regardless of whether their lack of knowledge, or the lack of knowledge of any one of them, is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence, or any other cause.

 

8.                                      REGISTRATION RIGHTS.  Company represents that as a condition of the Merger Agreement, and Company and Boies Schiller agree, that the following terms shall be effective upon consummation of the Merger:

 

7

 

a.                                      No later than thirty (30) days following the consummation of the Merger (the “Filing Date”), Jaguar shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or such other form available) covering the public resale of the Settlement Shares and shall cause such Registration Statement to be filed by the Filing Date for such Registration Statement and use reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible thereafter (the “Effectiveness Date”).  Jaguar shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the entire Effectiveness Period.

 

b.                                      Boies Schiller agrees to furnish to Jaguar a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in the customary form to be presented to Boies Schiller.  Jaguar shall not be required to include the Settlement Shares in the Registration Statement if Boies Schiller fails to furnish to Jaguar a fully completed questionnaire at least two Trading Days prior to the Effectiveness Date.

 

c.                                       Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Jaguar may delay or suspend the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for up to thirty (30) days (a “Delay Period”) if the board of directors of Jaguar determines in good faith that (i) effectiveness of the Registration Statement must be suspended in accordance with the rules and regulations under the Securities Act or that (ii) the disclosure of material non-public information (“Pending Developments”) at such time would be detrimental to Jaguar and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Jaguar shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Registration Statement is declared effective and its permitted use is resumed following a Delay Period as promptly as practicable.

 

d.                                      In addition to the covenants set forth herein, following the consummation of the Merger, Jaguar shall:

 

(i)                                     furnish to Boies Schiller such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus and such other documents as it may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public offering of the Settlement Shares;

 

(ii)                                  use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Settlement Shares under such state securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as Boies Schiller may reasonably request in writing within twenty (20) days following the original filing of such registration statement, except that Jaguar shall not for any purpose be required to execute a general consent to service of process or to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified;

 

(iii)                               notify Boies Schiller, promptly after it shall receive notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has become effective;

 

8

 

(iv)                              notify Boies Schiller promptly of any request by the Staff of the Commission for the amending or supplementing of such registration statement or prospectus or for additional information;

 

(v)                                 prepare and file with the Commission any amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus which is required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder in connection with the distribution of the Settlement Shares;

 

(vi)                              prepare and promptly file with the Commission and promptly notify Boies Schiller of the filing of such amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus as may be necessary to correct any statements or omissions if, at the time when a prospectus relating to the Settlement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, any event shall have occurred as the result of which any such prospectus or any other prospectuses then in effect would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading;

 

(vii)                           advise Boies Schiller promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Division of Enforcement of the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; and

 

(viii)                        indemnify and hold harmless Boies Schiller against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which Boies Schiller shall become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the effective registration statement or any prospectus that forms a part thereof or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no such indemnification shall be available to Boies Schiller (and Boies Schiller shall indemnify and hold harmless Jaguar) with respect to, and to the extent there is liability attributable to, written information provided by Boies Schiller to Jaguar for use in such registration statement or prospectus thereunder or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus.

 

e.                                       All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Section by Jaguar shall be borne by Jaguar whether or not any Settlement Shares are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement.

“Change of Control” means (i) any merger, consolidation or other business combination of Jaguar with any entity in which the stockholders of Jaguar immediately prior to such transaction in the aggregate cease to own at least 50% of the voting power of the voting securities of the entity surviving or resulting from such transaction (or the ultimate parent thereof), or (ii) any sale, transfer, lease, assignment or other disposal of all or substantially all of the assets of Jaguar and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

“Effectiveness Period” means, the period commencing on the Effectiveness Date of the Registration Statement and ending on the earlier of (i) the time as all of the Settlement Shares covered by such Registration Statement have been sold (either pursuant to a Registration Statement or otherwise), (ii) the time as all of the Settlement Shares are eligible to be sold by the Holders without compliance with the volume limitations or public information requirements of Rule 144; or (iii) a Change of Control.
