Exhibit 10.2

 

OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO

 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

 

THIS OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS (the “Amendment”), is made effective this 6th day of January 2017 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), by and between EACH INDIVIDUAL LISTED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGE hereto (individually, an “Executive” and, collectively, the “Executives”),  and TREVENA, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).  Company and the Executives collectively are referred to as the “Parties.”

 

BACKGROUND

 

WHEREAS, Executives Roberto Cuca, Michael Lark, David Soergel and John M. Limongelli, are each a party to certain Executive Employment Agreements with the Company dated January 31, 2014, January 31, 2014, January 31, 2014 and May 12, 2014, respectively, (each as amended by that Omnibus Amendment to Executive Employment Agreements dated May 4, 2015) and Executives Carrie L. Bourdow and Yacoub Habib are each a party to certain Executive Employment Agreements dated March 24, 2015 and July 9, 2015 (as amended January 6, 2016), respectively (each, an “Employment Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Company and each Executive desire to amend his or her respective Employment Agreement as provided herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and each Executive with respect to his or her Employment Agreement hereto agree as follows:

 

(1)           Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in each Employment Agreement.

 

(2)           The following sections of each Employment Agreement hereby are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:

 

7.(a)(i)                    an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s annualized Base Salary in effect at the time of termination, payable in equal installments on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates beginning with the first payroll date following the effective date of the Release and Waiver;

 

7.(a)(iii)                  if Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA for Executive and Executive’s covered dependents under the Company’s group health plans following such termination of employment, the Company will pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Executive’s health insurance coverage in effect for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents on the termination date, as and when due to the insurance carrier or COBRA administrator (as applicable), until the earliest of (A) twelve (12) months from the effective date of

 

 

such termination, (B) the expiration of Executive’s eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA, or (C) the date when Executive becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment (such period from the termination date through the earliest of (A) through (C), the “COBRA Payment Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay Executive on the last day of each remaining month of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”), for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period;

 

7.(b)(i)                    an amount equal to fifteen (15) months of Executive’s annualized Base Salary in effect at the time of termination, payable in equal installments on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates beginning with the first payroll date following the effective date of the Release and Waiver;

 

7.(b)(iii)                  an amount equal to fifteen (15) months of Executive’s annual Target Bonus in effect at the time of termination, payable in equal installments on the Company’s regularly scheduled payroll dates beginning with the first payroll date following the effective date of the Release and Waiver;

 

7.(b)(iv)                  if Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA for Executive and Executive’s covered dependents under the Company’s group health plans following such termination of employment, the Company will pay the COBRA premiums necessary to continue Executive’s health insurance coverage in effect for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents on the termination date, as and when due to the insurance carrier or COBRA administrator (as applicable), until the earliest of (A) fifteen (15) months from the effective date of such termination, (B) the expiration of Executive’s eligibility for the continuation coverage under COBRA, or (C) the date when Executive becomes eligible for substantially equivalent health insurance coverage in connection with new employment or self-employment (such period from the termination date through the earliest of (A) through (C), the “COBRA Payment Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that the payment of the COBRA premiums would result in a violation of the nondiscrimination rules of Section 105(h)(2) of the Code or any statute or regulation of similar effect (including but not limited to the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the 2010 Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act), then in lieu of providing the COBRA premiums, the Company will instead pay Executive on the last day of each remaining month

 

 

of the COBRA Payment Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings (such amount, the “Special Severance Payment”), for the remainder of the COBRA Payment Period; and

 

9.(c)                        Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, a resignation for “Good Reason” is defined as the resignation by Executive within thirty (30) days following the end of the Cure Period (defined below), if any of the following events occur without Executive’s express written consent:  (i) the Company reduces the amount of the Base Salary, other than pursuant to a reduction that also is applied to substantially all other executives of the Company, (ii) the Company fails to pay the Base Salary or other benefits required to be provided by the Company hereunder, (iii) the Company materially reduces Executive’s core functions, duties or responsibilities in a manner that constitutes a demotion, or (iv) any change of Executive’s principal office location to a location more than thirty (30) miles from the Company’s office at 1018 West 8th Avenue, King of Prussia, PA; provided, however, that Executive must provide written notice to the Company of the condition that could constitute “Good Reason” within thirty (30) days of the initial existence of such condition and such condition must not have been remedied by the Company within thirty (30) days of such written notice (the “Cure Period”).

 

(3)           The Parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Amendment.

 

(4)           This Amendment together with each respective Employment Agreement constitute the complete agreement of the Company and each Executive hereto with respect to the subject matters referred to herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements or representations of every nature whatsoever with respect thereto.  This Amendment cannot be amended, modified or supplemented with respect to any Executive except by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and such Executive.

 

(5)           The terms of this Amendment shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of the Executives, the Company and their respective successors and assigns.   Except as provided in this Amendment, all other terms and conditions contained in each Employment Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

 

(6)           This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Each Executive is executing this Amendment with respect to his respective Employment Agreement only and not with respect to any other Executive’s Employment Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each Party has executed this Amendment, in the case of the Company by its duly authorized officer, as of the Amendment Effective Date.

Re:    Limited Consent 

Ladies and Gentleman: 
 Reference is hereby made to that certain
(i) Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 31, 2013, among EXCO Resources, Inc., a Texas corporation, as the Borrower, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower, as Guarantors, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
“Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) (as the same may be amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and (ii) letter agreement dated as of September 1, 2016 by and among Borrower, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower, the Lenders (or at least the requisite percentage
thereof) and the Administrative Agent (the “Fall 2016 Limited Consent”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given such terms in the Credit Agreement. References herein to any Section
shall be to a Section of the Credit Agreement unless otherwise specifically provided. 
 Pursuant to Sections 3.02, 3.03, and 3.04, the
next Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base was scheduled to occur on or about September 1, 2016 and pursuant to the Fall 2016 Limited Consent, such Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base was postponed until on or about
November 1, 2016. The Borrower has requested that the Scheduled Redetermination to occur on or about November 1, 2016 be postponed until February 1, 2017. Subject to the terms and conditions described herein, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders (or at least the required percentage thereof) are willing to postpone the Scheduled Redetermination to occur on or about November 1, 2016 until on or about February 1, 2017 (the “Postponed
Redetermination”). 
 Accordingly, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, and in reliance on the representations, warranties,
acknowledgments and agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (or at least the required percentage thereof) hereby consent and agree to the Postponed Redetermination; provided that, from and after the date hereof
and until the date such Postponed Redetermination becomes effective, (i) the Borrower shall not request that (A) the Lenders make any Loans and/or (B) the Issuing Bank issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit, if at the time
of and immediately after giving effect to such Borrowing or issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit, as applicable, the Aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed $285,000,000, (ii) Borrower and the

  
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. – EXCO
– Limited Consent – Page 1 

 
other Credit Parties agree that any request made in violation of clause (i) above shall be null and void and Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loans and the Issuing Bank shall not
be obligated to issue, amend, renew or extend any Letter of Credit pursuant to any such request and (iii) solely for purposes of calculating compliance with the pro forma liquidity conditions in Sections 7.06 and 7.10, Revolving
Commitments shall be deemed to be $285,000,000; provided further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall be permitted to use the Aggregate Unused Commitments for purposes of calculating the Consolidated Current Ratio for each
of the fiscal quarters ending on September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016. 
 As consideration for the agreements set forth herein, the Borrower
hereby agrees to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. for the account of each Lender that executes this limited consent before 2:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on December 29, 2016 (each such Lender a “Consenting Lender”), a consent fee in
an amount equal to the sum of 10 basis points of each Consenting Lender’s Commitment, which consent fee shall be due and payable on the effective date of this limited consent and shall be allocated to the Consenting Lenders based on their
Applicable Percentage on the date hereof. 
 The entire amount of the fees payable hereunder will be fully earned upon becoming due and payable in
accordance with the terms hereof. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid in immediately available funds and shall be in addition to reimbursement of our out-of-pocket expenses and any other fees specified in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrower agrees that, once paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder shall not be refundable under any circumstances. The Borrower agrees that JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. may share the fees payable hereunder with the other
Lenders as set forth above. 
 By its signature below, each Credit Party agrees that, except as expressly set forth above, nothing herein shall be construed
as (a) a consent or agreement to, a waiver or continuing waiver of or a modification of any of the provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents, including Sections 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, or (b) a waiver
of any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. The consent set forth herein is expressly limited as follows: (x) such consent is limited solely to the postponement of
the Scheduled Redetermination, and (y) such consent is a limited one-time consent, and nothing contained herein shall obligate the Lenders to grant any additional or future consent, or to grant (i) any waiver of Sections 3.02,
3.03 or 3.04 or any other provision of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) any waiver of any Default or Event of Default now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 By its signature below, each Credit Party hereby (a) acknowledges and agrees that the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and effect; (b) ratifies and reaffirms its obligations under, and acknowledges, renews and extends its continued liability under, the Credit Agreement and each other Loan
Document to which it is a party; (c) ratifies and reaffirms all of the Liens securing the payment and performance of the Obligations; (d) represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, as of the date hereof,
(i) all of the representations and warranties 

  
 JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. – EXCO
– Limited Consent – Page 2 

 
contained in the Credit Agreement and each Loan Document to which it is a party are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent any such representations and warranties are
expressly limited to an earlier date, in which case, such representations and warranties shall continue to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified earlier date, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing and (e) acknowledges and agrees that this letter agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes and in all respects. 
 This
limited consent shall become effective as of the date first written above when and only when the Administrative Agent shall have received duly executed counterparts of this limited consent signed by each Credit Party and the Lenders (or at least the
required percentage thereof). 
 This limited consent shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New
York. This limited consent may be executed in counterparts with each counterpart constituting an original and all of the counterparts, once executed, constituting but one original. Delivery of an executed counterpart by facsimile or other electronic
means shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart.
