The principal balance shall bear interest thereon from such Purchase Date in an amount equal to the product of the outstanding Notes’ principal balance multiplied by the Stated Interest Rate based on a year consisting of 360 days, with interest computed daily based on the actual number of days elapsed.
(d) Payment. Issuer will pay 1/3 of the accrued but unpaid interest (i.e., 5% of the 15%) on each Note on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, beginning the quarter after the applicable Purchase Date (such interest, the “Current Pay Interest”). Issuer will pay the remaining accrued but unpaid interest (i.e., 10% of the 15%) on each Note on a deferred basis with such remaining interest due and payable by Issuer in cash upon the earlier of (i) the Amortization Date, and (ii) the repayment in full (whether upon voluntary or mandatory repayment or upon acceleration after an Event of Default). For the avoidance of doubt, accrued but unpaid interest shall not compound or otherwise be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Notes.
(e) Issuer shall repay the aggregate principal balance of the Notes that is outstanding on the day immediately preceding the Amortization Date in equal quarterly installments of principal and Current Pay Interest beginning on the Amortization Date and continuing on the first Business Day of each quarter thereafter until the Notes are repaid. Any remaining outstanding principal balance of the Notes, together with any and all accrued but unpaid interest hereunder, shall be due and payable on the Stated Maturity Date. Subject to Section 2.08, Issuer shall make all payments under this Agreement without setoff, recoupment or deduction and regardless of any counterclaim or defense.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that the Notes have not been listed and admitted to trading on the BSX (or another recognized stock exchange within the meaning of Section 1005 Income Tax Act 2007) prior to the first scheduled interest payment date, the payment of any amount of interest which would have been due and payable on such date shall be deferred until the next Business Day after the earlier of the date that:
(i) | such Notes have been listed and admitted to trading on such stock exchange; and |
(ii) | the Issuer has received confirmation in writing from such stock exchange that such stock exchange will not grant permission for the Notes to be listed or admitted to trading on such exchange; and |
28
(iii) | the second scheduled interest payment date. |
2.02 Maximum Interest. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or any other Note Document, it is the parties’ intent not to contract for, charge or receive interest at a rate that is greater than the maximum rate permissible by law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall deem applicable hereto (which under the laws of the State of New York shall be deemed to be the laws relating to permissible rates of interest on commercial loans) (the “Maximum Rate”). If a court of competent jurisdiction shall finally determine that Issuer has actually paid to a Purchaser an amount of interest in excess of the amount that would have been payable if all of the Secured Obligations had at all times borne interest at the Maximum Rate, then such excess interest actually paid by Issuer shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of the Secured Obligations consisting of the outstanding principal; second, after all principal is repaid, to the payment of the Purchasers’ accrued interest, costs, expenses, professional fees and any other Secured Obligations; and third, after all Secured Obligations are repaid, the excess (if any) shall be refunded to Issuer.
2.03 Default Interest. In the event any payment is not paid on the scheduled payment date, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the past due amount shall be payable on demand. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, all Secured Obligations, including principal, interest, compounded interest, and professional fees shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate set forth in Section 2.01(c) plus five percent (5%) per annum. In the event any interest is not paid when due hereunder, delinquent interest shall be added to principal and shall bear interest on interest, compounded at the rate set forth in Section 2.01(c) or Section 2.03, as applicable.
2.04 [Reserved].
2.05 Redemption; Termination.
(a) From and after October 16, 2019 (the “First Redemption Date”), at its sole option upon at least seven (7) Business Days (or such shorter period as agreed by Agent in writing) prior notice to Agent, Issuer may redeem all or any portion greater than or equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the outstanding Notes by paying the entire principal balance (or such portion thereof), all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the principal balance being redeemed, plus all fees and other amounts owing under the Note Documents at such time, together with a redemption charge equal to the following percentage of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed: if such Notes are redeemed in any of the first twelve (12) months following the First Redemption Date, 4.00%; after twelve (12) months but on or prior to twenty four (24) months following the First Redemption Date, 2.50%; and thereafter, 1.00% (each, a “Redemption Charge”). All redemptions proceeds shall be applied to such Notes then issued and outstanding as the Purchasers may in their discretion elect.
(b) Issuer agrees that the Redemption Charge is a reasonable calculation of the Purchasers’ lost profits in view of the difficulties and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from an early redemption of the Notes.
29
(c) Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (i) prior to the First Redemption Date, Issuer may, or the Required Purchasers may require Issuer to, redeem the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest of all Notes plus all other fees and amounts owing under the Note Documents through the date of the occurrence of such Change in Control, including a redemption charge equal to 5.00% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, or (ii) from and after the First Redemption Date, Issuer may, or the Required Purchasers may require Issuer to, redeem the outstanding amount of all principal and accrued interest of all Notes plus all other fees and amounts owing under the Note Documents through the redemption date and the applicable Redemption Charge.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and the Required Purchasers agree to waive the Redemption Charge if Agent and the Required Purchasers or any affiliate of Agent or the Required Purchasers (each in its sole discretion) agree in writing to refinance the Notes prior to the Maturity Date.
(e) In connection with any redemption of all outstanding Notes or if otherwise no Notes are outstanding, Issuer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Agent and the Purchasers, whereupon the Note Purchase Commitments shall terminate.
2.06 Notes. On the Closing Date and on each subsequent issuance of Notes pursuant to a Purchase Request, Issuer shall execute and deliver to each Purchaser (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.14) (promptly after the Issuer’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes registered in the name of the relevant Purchaser and/or their assignee. The terms of this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into the Notes as if set forth therein and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
2.07 Pro Rata Treatment. Each payment (including redemption) on account of any fee and any reduction of the Notes shall be made pro rata according to the Note Purchase Commitments of the relevant Purchaser.
2.08 Taxes.
(a) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.08, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
30
(b) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Note Party under any Note Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding in the minimum amount required by law and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Note Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) each Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c) Payment of Other Taxes by the Note Parties. The Note Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d) Indemnification by the Note Parties. The Note Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Issuer by a Purchaser (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Purchaser, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Indemnification by the Purchasers. Each Purchaser shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Purchaser (but only to the extent that any Note Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Note Parties to do so) and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Purchaser, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in connection with any Note Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Purchaser by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Purchaser hereby authorizes the Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Purchaser under any Note Document or otherwise payable by the Agent to the Purchaser from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this paragraph (e).
31
(f) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Note Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.08, such Note Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(g) Status of Purchasers.
(i) Any Purchaser that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Note Document shall deliver to Issuer and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Issuer or the Agent (or, with respect to U.K. Withholding Taxes, deliver to Issuer and the Agent or submit to the appropriate Governmental Authority within twenty (20) days after a written request by the Issuer or the Agent), such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Issuer or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding (to the extent legally possible). In addition, any Purchaser, if requested by the Issuer or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by law or reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Agent as will enable the Issuer or the Agent to determine whether or not such Purchaser is subject to any withholding (including backup withholding) or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than the documentation described in Section 2.08(g)(iii) below) shall not be required if in the Purchasers’ reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Purchaser. Upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Agent, any Purchaser shall update any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.08(g). If any form or certification previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.08(g) expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect with respect to a Purchaser, such Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within 10 days after such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy) notify the Issuer and the Agent in writing of such expiration, obsolescence or inaccuracy and update the form or certification if it is legally eligible to do so.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Purchaser shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.08(g) if no U.K. Withholding Tax is required to be withheld or deducted under a payment made under a Note Document due to the application of the quoted Eurobond exemption in Section 882 Income Tax 2007. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Purchasers as at the date of this Agreement shall be required to comply with Section 2.08(g) for the purposes of U.K. Withholding Tax prior to the application of the aforementioned quoted Eurobond exemption so far as the Issuer is applying to list the Notes on the BSX (or another recognised stock exchange within the meaning of Section 1005 Income Tax Act 2007).
32
(iii) If a payment made to a Purchaser under any Note Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Purchaser were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Purchaser shall deliver to Issuer and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Issuer or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Issuer or Agent as may be necessary for Issuer and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Purchaser has complied with such Purchaser’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Each Purchaser agrees that if it becomes aware that any form or certification it previously delivered has expired or become obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Issuer and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(iv) To the extent that interest payable by the Issuer (or any intra-group loans) becomes subject to Swiss Withholding Tax, each relevant Purchaser and the Issuer shall reasonably co-operate in completing any procedural formalities (including submitting forms and documents required by the appropriate Governmental Authority) to the extent possible and necessary for the Issuer to obtain authorization (i) to make interest payments without them being subject to the Swiss Withholding Tax or (ii) to being subject to Swiss Withholding Tax at a rate reduced under any applicable double taxation treaty.
(h) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.08 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
33
(i) [Reserved.]
(j) Increased Costs. If any Change in Law shall subject any Purchaser or the Agent to any Taxes (other than (i) Indemnified Taxes, (ii) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (g) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (iii) Other Connection Taxes that are imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated) or that are franchise Taxes or branch profits Taxes) on its Notes, Note Purchase Commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser or the Agent of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Note or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Note, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Purchaser or the Agent hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Purchaser or the Agent, Issuer will pay to such Purchaser or Agent, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or Agent, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(k) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Purchaser, the termination of the Note Purchase Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Note Document.
(l) Irish Guarantee payments by Myovant Ireland. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any payment by or on behalf of Myovant Ireland pursuant to Section 12 is subject to Irish Withholding Taxes, then:
(i) such payment shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made, the Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made; and
(ii) a Purchaser entitled to receipt of such payment shall co-operate with Myovant Ireland in complying with Section 2.08(g) and Section 2.08(h) but only to the extent that: it is legally possible for it to claim the relevant exemption or reduction from Irish Withholding Taxes and comply with the provisions contained in those Sections; and provided that such co-operation and compliance is at Myovant Ireland’s sole cost and expense.
2.09 Fees.
(a) Administration Fee. Issuer agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the Administration Fee. The first Administration Fee will be due on the first Purchase Date hereunder and thereafter on each subsequent anniversary of such date.
(b) Origination Fee. Issuer agrees to pay to the Agent, for its own account, the Origination Fee. The Origination Fee will be due on the first Purchase Date hereunder.
34
(c) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in Dollars and immediately available funds, to the Agent.
2.10 Mitigation Obligations. (a) If any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 2.08(j) or if any Issuer or Guarantor is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08, then such Purchaser shall, in consultation with the Issuer, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.08 in the future and (ii) would not subject such Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Purchaser. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) If (i) any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 2.08(j) or (ii) the Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Purchaser and the Agent, require such Purchaser to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 11.07), all its interests, rights and obligations under the Note Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Issuer shall have received the prior written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Notes, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Issuer, which shall be payable and calculated as if the Issuer were making a redemption to such assigning Purchaser), (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation or payments required to be made under Section 2.08(j), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Issuer to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
(c) If (i) any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 2.08(j) or (ii) the Issuer is required to pay any additional amount to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.08, then the Issuer and the Agent, in consultation with the Purchasers, hereby agree to permit, at the Issuer’s sole expense, the transfer of the Secured Obligations (including the Notes) from the Issuer to another Note Party or to use commercially reasonable efforts to restructure the Note Purchases (which may include a redemption without penalty or premium coupled with a concurrent refinancing of the Purchases through another Note Party) in a manner that (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.08 and (ii) would not subject any Purchaser to any material unreimbursed cost or expense that would otherwise be materially disadvantageous to any Xxxxxxxxx.
00
(x) Section 2.10 does not in any way limit the obligation of any Note Party under the Note Documents.
2.11 CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Agent shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to the Purchasers as a convenience to the Purchasers; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer shall promptly notify the Agent in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
SECTION 3 SECURITY INTEREST
3.01 As security for the prompt and complete payment when due (whether on the payment dates or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations (including the Notes), each Note Party grants to Agent a security interest in all of such Note Party’s right, title, and interest in and to the following personal property whether now owned or hereafter acquired (collectively, the “UCC Collateral”): (a) Receivables; (b) Equipment; (c) Fixtures; (d) General Intangibles (other than Intellectual Property); (e) Inventory; (f) Investment Property; (g) Deposit Accounts; (h) Cash; (i) Goods; and (j) all other tangible and intangible personal property (other than Intellectual Property) of such Note Party whether now or hereafter owned or existing, leased, consigned by or to, or acquired by, such Note Party and wherever located, and any of such Note Party’s property in the possession or under the control of Agent; and, to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for, and rents, profits and products of each of the foregoing; provided, however, that the UCC Collateral shall include all Accounts and General Intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the Intellectual Property (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the UCC Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date of this Agreement, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.
3.02 Notwithstanding the broad grant of the security interest set forth in Section 3.01, above, the UCC Collateral shall not include any Excluded Assets.
36
3.03 If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At such time, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby, this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Agent, the Purchasers and each Note Party hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall automatically revert to the Note Parties. In addition, in connection with any Permitted Transfer of Collateral, the Agent hereby agrees to release such Liens and to deliver such instruments and perform such acts as are necessary to effect such release at the request and expense of any Note Party. Furthermore, at the request of any Note Party, the Agent shall enter into (i) customary non-disturbance or similar agreements in connection with the licensing of Intellectual Property permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) intercreditor agreements with respect to Indebtedness of a Note Party permitted under clause (xiii) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” providing for the Liens of the Agent to be subordinated to such Indebtedness on terms customary for second-lien financings. Agent shall execute such documents, return any Collateral held by Agent hereunder and take such other steps as are reasonably necessary to accomplish the foregoing, all at the Note Parties’ sole cost and expense.
3.04 Parent, Myovant England, Myovant Ireland and Myovant Switzerland have entered into the Bermuda Security Documents, English Security Documents, Irish Security Documents and/or Swiss Security Documents in each case pursuant to which they have granted security interests in, to and under the collateral described therein (such collateral, collectively, the “Foreign Collateral”, and with the UCC Collateral, collectively, the “Collateral”) in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers.

Such risks shall include the risks of bodily injury, including death, property damage, personal injury, advertising injury, and contractual liability per the terms of the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 6.03. So long as there are any Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) outstanding, the Note Parties that are Domestic Subsidiaries shall also cause to be carried and maintained insurance upon the Collateral, insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage howsoever caused, in an amount not less than the full replacement cost of the Collateral, provided that such insurance may be subject to standard exceptions and deductibles. All such insurance required under this Section 6.01 shall be provided by financially sound and reputable insurance companies.
47
6.02 Certificates; Collateral Protection Coverage.
(a) The Note Parties that are Domestic Subsidiaries shall deliver to Agent certificates of insurance that evidence its compliance with its insurance obligations in Section 6.01 and the obligations contained in this Section 6.02. The Note Parties’ insurance certificate shall state that Agent (shown as “NovaQuest Pharma Opportunities Fund IV, L.P.”, as Agent”) is an additional insured for commercial general liability, and a loss payee for all risk property damage insurance, subject to the insurer’s approval. Attached to the certificates of insurance will be additional insured endorsements for liability and lender’s loss payable endorsements for all risk property damage insurance. All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Agent of cancellation (other than cancellation for non-payment of premiums, for which ten (10) days’ advance written notice shall be sufficient). Any failure of Agent to scrutinize such insurance certificates for compliance is not a waiver of any of Agent’s rights, all of which are reserved.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Note Parties fail to provide Agent, upon request, with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Agent may purchase insurance at Issuer’s expense to protect Agent’s interests in the Collateral.

The Note Parties may later cancel any insurance purchased by Agent, but only after providing Agent with evidence that the Note Parties have obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Agent purchases insurance for the Collateral, to the fullest extent provided by law, Issuer will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and other charges imposed by Agent in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Secured Obligations. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance the Note Parties are able to obtain on their own.

SECTION 8 EQUITY PURCHASE COMMITMENT
58
8.01 Equity Purchase. Subject to Sections 2.01, 4.03, 8.03 and 8.04, on each Purchase Date, the Purchasers shall, or shall cause their Affiliates (the Purchasers, acting for themselves or through their Affiliates, collectively, the “Equity Purchaser”) to purchase and Parent shall issue and sell (each, an “Equity Purchase”), at the Equity Purchase Price (as defined below), a number of Common Shares (the “Shares”) equal to (a)(i) the principal amount of the Purchase made on such Purchase Date multiplied by (ii) 33.3333%, divided by (b) the Equity Purchase Price, rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share. The “Equity Purchase Price” for each Equity Purchase means (A) the average of the VWAP per Common Share for each Trading Day in the five consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to the relevant Purchase Date multiplied by (B) 105%. “VWAP” means, for any Trading Day, the volume-weighted average price for sales of Common Shares on the Principal Market between regular trading hours (i.e. for the NYSE, the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. New York time), as reported by Bloomberg L.P. or, if not reported thereby, another alternative source as reasonably agreed to by Parent and Equity Purchaser. The parties hereto agree that the obligation of Parent under this Section 8 is a separate and independent obligation from the obligation of the Issuer to issue the Notes, and the Notes shall not include or incorporate by reference an obligation of Purchasers to make an Equity Purchase.
8.02 Equity Closings. The initial purchase and sale of the Shares pursuant to this Section 8 will take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures on the Closing Date (the initial closing and each closing of a subsequent Equity Purchase in accordance with Section 8.01, each an “Equity Closing”). On the date of each Equity Closing, Parent will instruct its transfer agent to register and deliver via electronic book-entry, or otherwise cause to be delivered a certificate representing, the Shares being purchased by Equity Purchaser within two Business Days of such Equity Closing, and Equity Purchaser shall transfer payment of the aggregate Equity Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Parent.
8.03 Principal Market Limitation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Equity Purchaser agree that no Equity Purchase shall proceed if, after giving effect thereto, it would breach Parent’s obligations under the applicable rules of the Principal Market, including without limitation, Parent’s obligation to obtain shareholder approval. In the event that Parent, upon advice of its counsel, determines that any Equity Purchase would likely breach Parent’s obligations under applicable Principal Market rules, the Parent shall notify Equity Purchaser within one Business Day of the relevant Purchase Date. In such case, the Equity Purchase shall only proceed to the extent that Parent elects, in its sole discretion, to solicit shareholder approval or otherwise bring the Equity Purchase into compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its shareholders to approve the issuance of Shares under this Agreement.
59
8.04 Representations and Warranties of Parent and Equity Purchaser for Equity Closings. As of each Equity Closing, (a) Parent hereby represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 hereof and on Exhibit D hereto are true and complete as of such Equity Closing and (b) Equity Purchaser represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 13 hereof are true and complete as of such Equity Closing.
8.05 Limitation on Transfer. Equity Purchaser, and any assignee of record of the Shares issued to Equity Purchaser pursuant to this Section 8 (each such Person, a “Holder”) will not make any disposition of all or any portion of any such Shares unless:
(a) there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or
(b) such Holder has notified Parent of the proposed disposition and has furnished Parent with a statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and, at the expense of such Holder or its transferee, with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that such disposition will not require registration of such securities under the Securities Act.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a) and Section 8.05(b), no such registration statement or opinion of counsel will be required: (i) for any transfer of any Shares in compliance with the SEC’s Rule 144, or (ii) for any transfer of any Shares by a Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or venture capital fund to (A) a partner of such partnership, member of such limited liability company or stockholder of such corporation, (B) an affiliate of such partnership, limited liability company or corporation (including, any affiliated investment fund of such Holder), (C) a retired partner of such partnership or a retired member of such limited liability company, or (D) the estate of any such partner, member, or stockholder; provided that, in the case of clause (ii), the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 8 to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Equity Purchaser under this Section 8.
SECTION 9 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be an Event of Default:
9.01 Payments. Any Note Party fails to pay any amount due under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents on the due date; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall not occur on account of a failure to pay due solely to an administrative or operational error of Agent or any Purchaser or any Note Party’s bank if such Note Party had the funds to make the payment when due and makes the payment within three (3) Business Days following such Note Party’s knowledge of such failure to pay; or
60

The occurrence of any default (after giving effect to any grace or cure period) under any agreement or obligation of any Note Party involving any Indebtedness in excess of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), which has resulted in a right by the holder of such Indebtedness, whether or not exercised, to accelerate the maturity of such Indebtedness; or
9.08 Expropriation.

10.01 General. Upon and during the continuance of any one or more Events of Default, (i) Agent may, at its option, accelerate and demand payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (including the Notes) together with a Redemption Charge and declare them to be immediately due and payable (provided, that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 9.04, all of the Secured Obligations (including the Notes) shall automatically be accelerated and made due and payable, in each case without any further notice or act), (ii) Agent may, at its option, sign and file in any Note Party’s name any and all collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, security agreements and other documents it deems necessary or appropriate to perfect or protect the repayment of the Secured Obligations (including the Notes), and in furtherance thereof, each Note Party hereby grants Agent an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, and (iii) Agent may notify any of any Note Party’s account debtors to make payment directly to Agent, compromise the amount of any such account on such Note Party’s behalf and endorse Agent’s name without recourse on any such payment for deposit directly to Agent’s account.

The Required Purchasers and each Note Party party to the relevant Note Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Purchasers, the Agent and the Note Parties party to the relevant Note Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Note Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Note Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Purchasers or of the Note Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Purchasers or the Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Note Documents or any default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Note, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Note, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Purchaser directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the consent rights of any Purchaser under this Section 11.03(b) without the written consent of such Purchaser; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Purchasers, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Note Parties of any of their rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, release a material portion of the Collateral or release a Note Party from its obligations under the Note Documents, in each case without the written consent of all Purchasers; or (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 11.18 without the written consent of the Agent. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each Purchaser and shall be binding upon the Note Parties, the Purchaser, the Agent and all future holders of the Notes.
65
11.04 No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.
11.05 No Waiver. The powers conferred upon Agent and the Purchasers by this Agreement are solely to protect its rights hereunder and under the other Note Documents and its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent or Purchaser to exercise any such powers. No omission or delay by Agent or the Purchasers at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Note Parties at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which Agent or any Purchaser is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of Agent or any Purchaser to enforce such provisions thereafter.
11.06 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Note Documents or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Sections 6.03, 11.06, 11.13 and 11.18 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.07 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on each Note Party and its permitted assigns (if any), except that no Note Party shall assign its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents without Agent’s express prior written consent, and any such attempted assignment shall be void and of no effect.
(b) Each of the Agent and the Purchasers may assign, transfer or endorse its rights hereunder and under the other Note Documents (other than the obligation to invest pursuant to Section 8.01, which shall be nontransferable), without prior notice to the Note Parties, and all of such rights shall inure to the benefit of Agent’s and each Purchaser’s successors and assigns.
66
(c) Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Note Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each sale or assignment of each Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.07 and Section 11.14 delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers and the Note Purchase Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes owing to, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Note Parties, Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Note Parties and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The identity of each Purchaser is permitted to be disclosed to the tax authorities of Switzerland by the relevant Swiss Guarantor. The parties agree that the foregoing is intended to ensure that the Notes are in “registered form” within the meaning of Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d) (i) Any Purchaser may, without the consent of the Issuer or the Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (excluding (x) Parent and its Affiliates and (y) any Person that is a direct competitor of any Note Party (as reasonably determined by Agent in consultation with the Note Parties)) (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided that (A) such Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Purchaser shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (C) the sale of such Participation shall not affect the free transferability of those Notes issued and outstanding and (D) the Issuer, the Agent and the other Purchasers shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Purchaser in connection with such Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Purchaser sells such a participation shall provide that such Purchaser shall remain the registered holder of its Notes and retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Purchaser will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 11.03(b) that affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (d)(ii) of this Section 11.07, the Issuer and agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Purchaser and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.07(b).
67
(ii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.08 than the applicable Purchaser would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Issuer’s prior written consent (as applicable) or such right to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.08 unless the Issuer is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant complies with Section 2.08(d) as though it were a Purchaser (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.08(g) shall be delivered to the participating Purchaser). Each Purchaser that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Notes or other obligations under the Note Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Purchaser shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Note Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Purchaser shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
11.08 Exposure Transfers. Subject to Section 11.07, no Purchaser shall enter into any arrangement with another person under which such Purchaser substantially transfers its exposure under this Agreement to that other person, unless under such arrangement throughout the life of such arrangement:
(a) relationship between the Purchaser and that other person is that of a debtor and creditor (including in the bankruptcy or similar event of the Purchaser or any Note Party);
(b) the other person will have no proprietary interest in the benefit of this Agreement or in any monies received by the Purchaser under or in relation to this Agreement; and
(c) the other person will under no circumstances (other than permitted transfers and assignments under Section 11.07) (y) be subrogated to, or substituted in respect of, the Purchasers’ claims under this Agreement; and (z) have otherwise any contractual relationship with, or rights against, the Note Parties under or in relation to this Agreement.
68
11.09 Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Note Documents have been negotiated and delivered to Agent and the Purchasers in the State of New York. This Agreement and the other Note Documents (other than the Bermuda Security Documents, the English Security Documents, the Irish Security Documents, the Swiss Security Documents and such other Note Documents as expressly state the contrary) shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
11.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE. ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN OR UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT AGENT OR ANY PURCHASER MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT AGAINST ISSUER OR ANY OTHER NOTE PARTY OR ITS OR THEIR PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION. ISSUER AND EACH OTHER NOTE PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11.10. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT. SERVICE OF PROCESS ON ANY PARTY HERETO IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IF GIVEN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR NOTICE SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.02, AND SHALL BE DEEMED EFFECTIVE AND RECEIVED AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.02. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.
69
11.11 Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE NOTE PARTIES, AGENT AND PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE NOTE PARTIES AGAINST AGENT, PURCHASER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY AGENT, PURCHASER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST ANY NOTE PARTY. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Agent, the Note Parties and the Purchasers; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among the Note Parties, Agent and the Purchasers; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement or any other Note Document.
11.12 Professional Fees. Each Note Party promises to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred by Agent and the Purchasers after the Closing Date in connection with or related to: (a) the Notes; (b) the administration, collection, or enforcement of the Note; (c) the amendment or modification of the Note Documents; (d) any waiver, consent, release, or termination under the Note Documents; (e) the protection, preservation, audit, field exam, sale, lease, liquidation, or disposition of Collateral or the exercise of remedies with respect to the Collateral; (f) any legal, litigation, administrative, arbitration, or out of court proceeding in connection with or related to the Note Parties or the Collateral, and any appeal or review thereof; and (g) any bankruptcy, restructuring, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, workout, foreclosure, or other action related to the Note Parties, the Collateral, the Note Documents, including representing Agent or the Purchasers in any adversary proceeding or contested matter commenced or continued by or on behalf of any Note Party’s estate, and any appeal or review thereof.
70
11.13 Confidentiality. Agent and the Purchasers acknowledge that certain items of Collateral and information provided to Agent and the Purchasers by the Note Parties are confidential and proprietary information of the Note Parties, if and to the extent such information either (x) is marked as confidential by the Note Parties at the time of disclosure, or (y) should reasonably be understood to be confidential (the “Confidential Information”). Accordingly, Agent and the Purchasers agree that any Confidential Information it may obtain in the course of acquiring, administering, or perfecting Agent’s security interest in the Collateral shall not be disclosed to any other Person or entity in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the Note Parties, except that Agent and each Purchaser may disclose any such information: (a) to its own and to its Affiliates’ limited partners, members, managers, directors, individuals or bodies responsible for governance of Agent or the Purchasers (including Agent’s and Agent’s Affiliates’ investment committees and limited partner advisory committees), officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other professional advisors if Agent or the Purchasers in their sole discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information in connection with such party’s responsibilities in connection with the Note or this Agreement and, provided that such recipient of such Confidential Information either (i) agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of this paragraph or (ii) is otherwise subject to confidentiality restrictions that reasonably protect against the disclosure of Confidential Information; (b) if such information is generally available to the public; (c) if required or appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any governmental authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Agent or the Purchasers; (d) if required or appropriate in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, to the extent permitted or deemed advisable by Agent’s or Purchasers’ counsel; (e) to comply with any legal requirement or law applicable to Agent or the Purchasers; (f) to the extent reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under any Note Document, including Agent’s sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral after default; (g) to any Participant or assignee of Agent or the Purchasers or any prospective Participant or assignee; provided that such Participant or assignee or prospective Participant or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by this Section prior to disclosure; (h) to any investor or potential investor (or advisors or fiduciaries (including trustees) to such investor or potential investor) in connection with an investment or potential investment transaction in or with Agent or an Affiliate of Agent; or (i) otherwise with the prior consent of the Note Parties; provided that any disclosure made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations of the Note Parties or any of their respective Affiliates.
71
11.14 Assignment of Rights. Each Note Party acknowledges and understands that Agent or the Purchasers may, subject to Section 11.07, sell and assign all or part of its interest hereunder and under the Note Documents to any Person or entity (an “Assignee”). After such assignment the term “Agent” or “Purchaser” as used in the Note Documents shall mean and include such Assignee, and such Assignee shall be vested with all rights, powers and remedies of Agent and the Purchasers hereunder with respect to the interest so assigned; but with respect to any such interest not so transferred, Agent and the Purchasers shall retain all rights, powers and remedies hereby given. No such assignment by Agent or the Purchasers shall relieve any Note Party of any of its obligations hereunder. The Purchasers agree that in the event of any transfer by it of the Note(s) (if any), it will endorse thereon a notation as to the portion of the principal of the Note(s), which shall have been paid at the time of such transfer and as to the date to which interest shall have been last paid thereon.
11.15 Revival of Secured Obligations. This Agreement and the Note Documents shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective if any petition is filed by or against any Note Party for liquidation or reorganization or examinership, if any Note Party becomes insolvent or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any significant part of any Note Party’s assets, or if any payment or transfer of Collateral is recovered from Agent or the Purchasers. The Note Documents and the Secured Obligations and Collateral security shall continue to be effective, or shall be revived or reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations or any transfer of Collateral to Agent, or any part thereof is rescinded, avoided or avoidable, reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by, or is recovered from, Agent, any Purchaser or by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment, performance, or transfer of Collateral had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, avoided, avoidable, restored, returned, or recovered, the Note Documents and the Secured Obligations shall be deemed, without any further action or documentation, to have been revived and reinstated except to the extent of the full, final, and indefeasible payment to Agent or the Purchasers in Cash.
11.16 Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
11.17 No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provisions of the Note Documents are intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third-party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any Person other than Agent, the Purchasers and the Note Parties unless specifically provided otherwise herein, and, except as otherwise so provided, all provisions of the Note Documents will be personal and solely among Agent, the Purchasers and the Note Parties.

(f) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to Agent and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents. Agent may consult with counsel, and any opinion or legal advice of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, not taken or suffered by Agent hereunder or under any Note Documents in accordance therewith. Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of the Collateral from any court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers granted to Agent by this Agreement and the other Note Documents at the request or direction of the Purchasers unless Agent shall have been provided by the Purchasers with adequate security and indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.
74

None of the parties hereto nor any of its respective member businesses and Affiliates shall, without the other parties’ prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), publicize or use (a) the other party’s name (including a brief description of the relationship among the parties hereto), logo or hyperlink to such other parties’ web site, separately or together, in written and oral presentations, advertising, promotional and marketing materials, client lists, public relations materials or on its web site (together, the “Publicity Materials”); (b) the names of officers of such other parties in the Publicity Materials; and (c) such other parties’ name, trademarks, servicemarks in any news or press release concerning such party; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such consent shall be required (i) to the extent necessary to comply with the requests of any regulators, legal requirements or laws applicable to such party, pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange (so long as such party provides prior notice to the other party hereto to the extent reasonably practicable) and (ii) to comply with Section 11.13.

11.21 Multiple Note Parties.
(a) Note Party’s Agent. Each Note Party hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as its agent, attorney-in-fact and legal representative for all purposes, including issuing Purchase Requests and receiving account statements and other notices and communications to Note Party (or any of them) from the Agent or any Purchaser. The Agent may rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, on any Purchase Request, disbursement instruction, report, information or any other notice or communication made or given by Parent, whether in its own name or on behalf of one or more of the other Note Parties, and the Agent shall not have any obligation to make any inquiry or request any confirmation from or on behalf of any other Note Party as to the binding effect on it of any such request, instruction, report, information, other notice or communication, nor shall the joint and several character of the Note Parties’ obligations hereunder or any other Note Document be affected thereby.
(b) Waivers. Each Note Party hereby waives: (i) any right to require the Agent to institute suit against, or to exhaust its rights and remedies against, any other Note Party or any other person, or to proceed against any property of any kind which secures all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or to exercise any right of offset or other right with respect to any reserves, credits or deposit accounts held by or maintained with the Agent or any Indebtedness of the Agent or any Purchaser to any other Note Party, or to exercise any other right or power, or pursue any other remedy the Agent or any Purchaser may have; (ii) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Note Party or any endorser, co-maker or other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of any liability of any other Note Party or any
75
endorser, co-maker or other person, with respect to all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or by reason of any act or omission of the Agent or others which directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of any other Note Party or any other person or any Secured Obligations or any security therefor, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) any defense arising by reason of any failure of the Agent to obtain, perfect, maintain or keep in force any Lien on, any property of any Note Party or any other person; (iv) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any other Note Party or any endorser, co-maker or other person, including without limitation any discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Secured Obligations (including without limitation any interest thereon), in or as a result of any such proceeding. Until all of the Secured Obligations have been paid, performed, and discharged in full, nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of any Note Party hereunder except the full performance and payment of all of the Secured Obligations. If any claim is ever made upon the Agent for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received by the Agent in payment of or on account of any of the Secured Obligations, because of any claim that any such payment constituted a preferential transfer or fraudulent conveyance, or for any other reason whatsoever, and the Agent repays all or part of said amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over the Agent or any of its property, or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent with any such claimant (including without limitation the any other Note Party), then and in any such event, each Note Party agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement and compromise shall be binding upon such Note Party, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement or the cancellation of any note or other instrument evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, or any release of any of the Secured Obligations, and each Note Party shall be and remain liable to the Agent and the Purchasers under this Agreement for the amount so repaid or recovered, to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by the Agent or any Purchaser, and the provisions of this sentence shall survive, and continue in effect, notwithstanding any revocation or release of this Agreement. Each Note Party hereby expressly and unconditionally waives all rights of subrogation, reimbursement and indemnity of every kind against any other Note Party, and all rights of recourse to any assets or property of any other Note Party, and all rights to any collateral or security held for the payment and performance of any Secured Obligations, including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Note Party may have under any present or future document or agreement with any other Note Party or other person, and including (but not limited to) any of the foregoing rights which any Note Party may have under any equitable doctrine of subrogation, implied contract, or unjust enrichment, or any other equitable or legal doctrine.
76
(c) Consents. Each Note Party hereby consents and agrees that, without notice to or by any Note Party and without affecting or impairing in any way the obligations or liability of any Note Party hereunder, the Agent may, from time to time before or after revocation of this Agreement, do any one or more of the following in its sole and absolute discretion: (i) accept partial payments of, compromise or settle, renew, extend the time for the payment, discharge, or performance of, refuse to enforce, and release all or any parties to, any or all of the Obligations; (ii) grant any other indulgence to any Note Party or any other Person in respect of any or all of the Secured Obligations or any other matter; (iii) accept, release, waive, surrender, enforce, exchange, modify, impair, or extend the time for the performance, discharge, or payment of, any and all property of any kind securing any or all of the Secured Obligations or any guaranty of any or all of the Secured Obligations, or on which the Agent at any time may have a Lien, or refuse to enforce its rights or make any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any or all of such property; (iv) substitute or add, or take any action or omit to take any action which results in the release of, any one or more other Note Parties or any endorsers of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation one or more parties to this Agreement, regardless of any destruction or impairment of any right of contribution or other right of any Note Party; (v) apply any sums received from any other Note Party, any guarantor, endorser, or co-signer, or from the disposition of any Collateral or security, to any Indebtedness whatsoever owing from such person or secured by such Collateral or security, in such manner and order as the Agent determines in its sole discretion, and regardless of whether such Indebtedness is part of the Secured Obligations, is secured, or is due and payable. Each Note Party consents and agrees that the Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Note Party, or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. Each Note Party further consents and agrees that the Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation to monitor, verify, audit, examine, or obtain or maintain any insurance with respect to, any property securing any or all of the Secured Obligations.
(d) Independent Liability. Each Note Party hereby agrees that one or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against such Note Party, in the same action in which any other Note Party may be sued or in separate actions, as often as deemed advisable by Agent.

11.22 Swiss Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and the other Note Documents, the obligations of Myovant Switzerland or any other Note Party incorporated in Switzerland (collectively, the “Swiss Guarantor”) and the rights of Agent and the Purchasers under this Agreement and the other Note Documents are subject to the following limitations:
(a) If and to the extent a guarantee or security interest granted or any other obligations assumed by a Swiss Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Note Documents guarantees or secures obligations of its (direct or indirect) parent company (upstream security) or its sister companies (cross-stream security) (the “Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations”) and if and to the extent using the proceeds from the enforcement of such guarantee, security interest or other obligation to discharge the Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations would constitute a repayment of capital (Einlagerückgewähr/Kapitalrückzahlung), a violation of the legally protected reserves (gesetzlich geschützte Reserven) or the payment of a (constructive) dividend (Gewinnausschüttung) under Swiss corporate law or would otherwise be restricted under Swiss law and practice then applicable, the proceeds from the enforcement of such guarantee, security interest or other obligation to be used to discharge the Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations shall be limited to the maximum amount of that Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable shareholder or quotaholder equity at the time of enforcement (the “Maximum Amount”); provided that such limitation is required under the applicable law at that time and that such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the Maximum Amount, but merely postpone the performance date of those obligations until such time or times as performance is again permitted under then applicable law. This Maximum Amount of freely disposable shareholder or quotaholder equity shall be determined in accordance with Swiss law and applicable Swiss accounting principles, and, if and to the extent required by applicable Swiss law, shall be confirmed by the auditors of the Swiss Guarantor on the basis of an interim audited balance sheet as of that time.
(b) In respect of Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations, the Swiss Guarantor shall, as concerns the proceeds resulting from the enforcement of the guarantee or security interest granted or other obligations assumed under this Agreement and the other Note Documents, if and to the extent required by applicable law in force at the relevant time:
(i) procure that such enforcement proceeds can be used to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations without deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax by discharging the liability to such tax by notification pursuant to applicable law rather than payment of the tax;
78
(ii) if the notification procedure pursuant to sub-paragraph (i) above does not apply, deduct the Swiss Withholding Tax at such rate (currently thirty-five percent (35%) at the date of this Agreement) as is in force from time to time from any such enforcement proceeds used to discharge Upstream or Cross-Stream Secured Obligations, and pay, without delay, any such taxes deducted to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration;
(iii) notify the Agent that such notification or, as the case may be, deduction has been made, and provide the Agent with evidence that such a notification of the Swiss Federal Tax Administration has been made or, as the case may be, such taxes deducted have been paid to the Swiss Federal Tax Administration; and
(iv) in the case of a deduction of Swiss Withholding Tax, use its best efforts to ensure that any person, which is entitled to a full or partial refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax deducted from such enforcement proceeds, will, as soon as possible after such deduction, (A) request a refund of the Swiss Withholding Tax under applicable law (including tax treaties), and (B) pay to the Agent upon receipt any amount so refunded.
(c) The Swiss Guarantor shall promptly take and promptly cause to be taken any action, including the following:
(i) the passing of any shareholders’ or quotaholders’ resolutions, as may be the case, to approve the use of the enforcement proceeds, which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time of the enforcement of the security interest in order to allow a prompt use of the enforcement proceeds;
(ii) preparation of up-to-date audited balance sheet of the Swiss Guarantor;
(iii) confirmation of the auditors of the Swiss Guarantor that the relevant amount represents the Maximum Amount;
(iv) conversion of restricted reserves into profits and reserves freely available for the distribution as dividends (to the extent permitted by mandatory Swiss law);
(v) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Swiss accounting standards, write-up or realize any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of realization, however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig); and
(vi) all such other measures necessary to allow the Swiss Guarantor to use enforcement proceeds as agreed hereunder with a minimum of limitations.
79
SECTION 12 THE GUARANTEE
12.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee to the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on the Notes and all fees and other amounts from time to time owing to the Purchasers by Issuer under this Agreement or under any other Note Document and by any other Note Party under any of the Note Documents (but excluding any obligations under Section 8), in each case strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby further jointly and severally agree that if Issuer shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
12.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 12.01 are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of Issuer under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 12.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with; or
(d) any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Purchasers as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected.
80
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Purchaser exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against Issuer under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
12.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 12 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of Issuer in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Purchasers on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
12.04 Subrogation. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that until the payment and satisfaction in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and the expiration and termination of the Note Purchase Commitments, they shall not exercise any right or remedy arising by reason of any performance by them of their guarantee in Section 12.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against Issuer or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
12.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Purchasers, the obligations of Issuer under this Agreement and under the other Note Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 9) for purposes of Section 12.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against Issuer and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by Issuer) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 12.01.
12.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 12 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Purchasers, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment pursuant to Sections 437c-438 of the California Civil Code (Summary Judgments and Motions for Judgment on the Pleadings).
12.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 12 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
81
12.08 Rights of Contribution. The Guarantors hereby agree, as between themselves, that if any Guarantor shall become an Excess Funding Guarantor (as defined below) by reason of the payment by such Guarantor of any Guaranteed Obligations, each other Guarantor shall, on demand of such Excess Funding Guarantor (but subject to the next sentence), pay to such Excess Funding Guarantor an amount equal to such Guarantor’s Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose, without reference to the properties, debts and liabilities of such Excess Funding Guarantor) of the Excess Payment (as defined below) in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.

For purposes of this Section 12.08, (i) “Excess Funding Guarantor” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, a Guarantor that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) “Excess Payment” means, in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Guarantor in excess of its Pro Rata Share of such Guaranteed Obligations and (iii) “Pro Rata Share” means, for any Guarantor, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (x) the amount by which the aggregate present fair saleable value of all properties of such Guarantor (excluding any shares of stock of any other Guarantor) exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities of such Guarantor (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder and any obligations of any other Guarantor that have been Guaranteed by such Guarantor) to (y) the amount by which the aggregate fair saleable value of all properties of all of the Guarantors exceeds the amount of all the debts and liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of Issuer and the Guarantors hereunder and under the other Note Documents) of all of the Guarantors, determined (A) with respect to any Guarantor that is a party hereto on the first Purchase Date, as of such Purchase Date, and (B) with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date such Guarantor becomes a Guarantor hereunder.
12.09 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 12.01 would otherwise, taking into account the provisions of Section 12.08, be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 12.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Purchaser or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
12.10 Certain Waivers.
82
(a) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Note Party hereby waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Note Party by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code.
(b) To the extent permitted under applicable law, each Note Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Purchasers, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Note Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
12.11 Guarantee Limitations – Ireland.
(a) The guarantee contained in this Section 12.11 does not apply to any liability to the extent that it would result in the guarantee (i) constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland or (ii) constituting a breach of Section 239 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland.
(b) Each party acknowledges that to the extent that the guarantee has been validated under Section 202 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland it shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under Section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland and to the extent that Section 243 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland applies it shall not constitute a breach of Section 239 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland (in each case to the extent applicable).

ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF PARENT FOR EQUITY CLOSINGS
OF PARENT FOR EQUITY CLOSINGS
Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this Exhibit D, have the meanings given to them in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated October 16, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), to which this Exhibit D is attached and forms a part. Except as set forth in the disclosure schedules delivered by Parent to Equity Purchaser (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which Disclosure Schedules shall qualify any representation made herein to the extent of the disclosure contained in the corresponding section of the Disclosure Schedules, Parent hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Equity Purchaser as of the date of each Equity Closing (unless the representations and warranties are as of a specific date, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date).
1.1 Authorization; Enforcement; Conflicts. Parent’s consummation of the Equity Purchase (i) has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of Parent, (ii) will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Collateral, other than Permitted Liens and Liens created by the Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents, (iii) does not violate any provisions of Parent’s certificate of incorporation, memorandum of association, bye-laws, or any law, regulation, order, injunction, judgment, decree or writ to which Parent is subject, and (iv) does not violate any material contract or material agreement of Parent, except as otherwise disclosed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
1.2 Filings, Consents and Approvals. Assuming the accuracy of the representations made by the Equity Purchaser in Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any federal, state or local Governmental Authority is required on the part of Parent in connection with the Equity Purchase except for filings pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, which have been made or will be made in a timely manner.
1.3 Issuance of the Shares. The Shares, when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms and conditions and for the consideration set forth in Section 8 of the Purchase Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (which term means when used herein that no further sums are required to be paid by the holders thereof in connection with the issue of such shares) and free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under the Purchase Agreement, applicable state and federal securities laws and Liens or encumbrances created by or imposed by Equity Purchaser. The issuance of the Shares will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights that have not been validly waived. Assuming the accuracy of the representations of Equity Purchaser in Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement and subject to filings described in Section 1.2 above, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares to be issued pursuant to and in conformity with the terms and conditions of Section 8 the Purchase Agreement, will comply with all applicable federal and state securities laws. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Principal Market or exchange on which the Shares are listed or quoted for trading.
1.4 Capitalization. The capitalization of Parent is as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below) in each case as of the dates set forth therein. Except as otherwise disclosed pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or in the SEC Reports, (a) no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, (b) the issuance and sale of the Common Shares under the Purchase Agreement will not obligate Parent or any Parent Subsidiary to issue Common Shares or other securities to any Person (other than Equity Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Parent securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities and (c) there are no stockholders agreements, voting agreements or other similar agreements with respect to Parent’s shares to which Parent is a party or, to the knowledge of Parent, between or among any of Parent’s shareholders.
1.5 SEC Reports; Financial Statements. Parent has filed all reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months preceding the date hereof (or such shorter period as the Parent was required by law or regulation to file such material) (the foregoing materials, including the exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein, being collectively referred to herein as the “SEC Reports”), other than Form 8-K reports, required to have been filed. None of the SEC Reports, when filed, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Parent has never been an issuer subject to Rule 144(i) under the Securities Act.
1.6 Certain Fees. No brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions are or will be payable by Parent to any broker, financial advisor or consultant, finder, placement agent, investment banker, bank or other Person with respect to the Equity Purchase. The Equity Purchaser shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the Equity Purchase.
1.7 Listing and Maintenance Requirements. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and Parent has taken no action designed to terminate, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act nor has Parent received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. Parent has not, in the 12 months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (or other Principal Market on which the Common Shares are listed) to the effect that Parent is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such exchange in any material respect that would reasonably be expected to result in a delisting from such exchange. Parent is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
2
1.8 No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Equity Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement, neither Parent, any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause the issuance of the Shares to Equity Purchaser to be integrated with prior offerings by Parent and as a result require (a) the registration of the Shares under the Securities Act, or (b) shareholder approval under any applicable rules of the NYSE (or other Principal Market on which the Common Shares are listed).
1.9 No General Solicitation. Neither Parent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or partners has either directly or indirectly, including through a broker or a finder (i) engaged in any general solicitation with respect to the offer and sale of the Shares, or (ii) published any advertisement in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
1.10 Regulation M Compliance. Parent has not, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Parent to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares or (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Shares.
1.11 No Disqualification Events. With respect to the Shares to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act, none of Parent, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of Parent participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of Parent’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with Parent in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person” and, together, “Issuer Covered Persons”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). Parent has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event and will notify the Equity Purchaser in writing, prior to the date of any Equity Closing, of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person, and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person. Parent has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e), and has furnished to Equity Purchaser a copy of any disclosures provided thereunder.

EXHIBIT E
CUSTOMARY SUBORDINATION TERMS
The payment of the principal, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and all other amounts due and payable with respect to the issuance of unsecured convertible or exchangeable notes issued by Myovant Sciences Ltd., an exempted company incorporated and organized under the laws of Bermuda (the “Parent”) to the holders thereof (the “Holders”) in an aggregate principal amount of not more than Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($250,000,000) (the “Convertible Notes”) as permitted by the terms of the Purchase Agreement (as defined below), is subordinated to the prior payment in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the Purchasers, of all existing and future senior indebtedness with respect to the Notes (the “Designated Senior Indebtedness”) issued by the Parent to the Purchasers (the “Purchasers”) from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of October 16, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning provided in the Purchase Agreement.
If the Parent is dissolved, wound-up, liquidated or reorganized, or if the Parent is the subject of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the Parent shall pay the Purchasers of the Designated Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the Purchasers before the Parent pays the Holders of the Convertible Notes.
If the Convertible Notes are accelerated or subject to repurchase by the Holders, the Parent must pay the Purchasers of the Designated Senior Indebtedness in full all amounts due and owing under the Purchase Agreement before the Parent pays the Holders of the Convertible Notes.
The Parent may not make any payment on or distribution to any Holder or any agent of such Holder in respect of such Holder’s obligations under the Convertible Notes or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire the Convertible Notes prior to the date that is one hundred eighty-one (181) days after the Stated Maturity Date.
As a result of these subordination provisions, in the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Parent, the Purchasers of the Designated Senior Indebtedness may receive more, ratably, and the Holders of the Convertible Notes may receive less, ratably, than the Parent’s other creditors. These subordination provisions will not prevent the occurrence of any event of default under the Convertible Notes.
If either the Holder of a Convertible Note or its agent receives any payment of any obligations with respect to the Convertible Notes when:
• | the payment is prohibited by these subordination provisions or the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and |
• | the Holder of the Convertible Note or its agent has actual knowledge that the payment is prohibited, |
the Holder of the Convertible Note or its agent, as the case may be, will hold the payment in trust for the benefit of the Purchasers of the Designated Senior Indebtedness. Within ten (10) business days after receipt of any such payment, the Holder of the Convertible Note or its agent, as the case may be, will deliver the amounts held in trust to the Agent for the benefit of the Purchasers of the Designated Senior Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, the issuance and delivery of the common shares of the Parent upon conversion of any Convertible Note (and cash in lieu of fractional shares) in accordance with the terms thereof will be deemed not to constitute a payment on or distribution in respect of the Parent’s obligations under the Convertible Notes or any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition of any Convertible Note.
