AMENDED AND RESTATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT (as amended through the date hereof and as may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), is made as of the 29th day of January, 2021 by and among Convergent Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the investors who become party hereto from time to time upon execution of a counterpart signature page (the “Purchaser Signature Page”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each a “Purchaser” and collectively, the “Purchasers”).
WHEREAS, the Company and certain of the Purchasers are parties to the Convertible Promissory Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1st, 2020 (the “Prior Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article IV, Section 2, of the Prior Agreement, the Prior Agreement may be amended by the written consent of the Holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes;
WHEREAS, the undersigned Purchasers represent the Holders of a majority of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes necessary to amend the Prior Agreement as of the date hereof (the “Current Requisite Holders”);
WHEREAS, the Company and the Current Requisite Holders desire to amend and restate the Prior Agreement; and
WHEREAS, at one or more Closings (as defined below), the Company desires to issue and sell to one or more Purchasers that are “accredited investors” under the Securities Act (as defined below) convertible promissory notes, each in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each a “Note” and together with any other Note issued pursuant to this Agreement, and with any exchange or replacement thereof, the “Notes”), having an aggregate principal amount of up to [XXX].
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the exchange and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Current Requisite Holders hereby agree that the Prior Agreement is hereby amended and restated, and the parties to this Agreement hereby further agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE, SALE AND TERMS OF NOTES
1. Sale and Issuance of the Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at each Closing, the Company agrees to issue and sell to each of the Purchasers, and, subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase, a Note in the principal amount set forth on the Purchaser Signature Page for such Purchaser for such Closing. The Company shall use the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
2. Closing; Delivery. The initial purchase and sale of Notes shall take place at 10:00 am Eastern time on the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Closing”). At the Initial Closing, the Company shall issue and deliver to each Purchaser purchasing a Note at the Initial Closing such Purchaser’s Note, and such Purchaser shall pay the Company the principal amount set forth on the Purchaser Signature Page for such Purchaser for the Initial Closing and opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto, under the heading “Principal Amount of Note Purchased at the Initial Closing” by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions of the Company. The Company may conduct one or more additional closings on or prior to [XXX] (the “Additional Closings”) to be held at such place and time as the Company and the Purchasers participating in such Additional Closing may determine. At each Additional Closing, the Company shall issue and deliver to each Purchaser purchasing a Note at such Additional Closing such Purchaser’s Note, and such Purchaser shall pay the Company the principal amount set forth on the Purchaser Signature Page for such Purchaser for such Closing and opposite such Purchaser’s name on the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto under the heading “Principal Amount of Note Purchased at the Additional Closing” dated the applicable date by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions of the Company. In the event there is more than one closing, the term “Closing” shall apply to each such closing unless otherwise specified. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and without requiring consent of any Purchaser, at each Additional Closing, the Company shall update the Schedule of Purchasers to reflect the Notes sold at such Additional Closing.
3. No Usury. This Agreement and the Notes issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment or advancement of loan proceeds, acceleration of maturity of the loan evidenced hereby, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchasers hereunder for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York. If at any time the performance of any provision hereof or the Notes involves a payment exceeding the limit of the price that may be validly charged for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, ipso facto, the agreed upon interest rate as set forth in the Notes shall be reduced to such limit, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Purchasers that all payments under this Agreement or the Notes are to be credited first to interest as permitted by law, but not in excess of (a) the agreed rate of interest set forth in the Notes, or (b) that permitted by law, whichever is the lesser, and the balance toward the reduction of principal. The provisions of this paragraph shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Agreement and the Notes.
