1.
|
Amendment of Section 5.4. Section 5.4 of the Investment Agreement is hereby amended to insert a subsection (g) to read as follows:
|
“(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event a Deerfield Purchaser fails to exercise its preemptive purchase right as provided in this Section 5.4 in connection with any Qualified Equity Offering in which the WP Purchasers participate to subscribe for the lesser of (x) such Deerfield Purchaser’s Purchaser Percentage Interest and (y) the portion of such Deerfield Purchaser’s Purchaser Percentage Interest that is equivalent to the portion of the WP Purchasers’ Purchaser Percentage Interest represented by the shares that the WP Purchasers subscribe for in such Qualified Equity Offering, Section 5.4 of this Agreement shall terminate with respect to each Deerfield Purchaser. For example, if the WP Purchasers’ Purchaser Percentage Interest is 50% and such Deerfield Purchaser’s Purchaser Percentage is 12%, if the WP Purchasers subscribe for 25% of the securities in such Qualified Equity Offering, such Deerfield Purchaser would be required to subscribe for 6% of the securities in such Qualified Equity Offering to maintain the Deerfield Purchasers’ preemptive purchase right as provided in this Section 5.4.”
