Certificate No. W-1 |
THIS IS TO CERTIFY that ATHYRIUM OPPORTUNITIES II ACQUISITION LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and its transferees, successors and assigns (the “Holder”), for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, is entitled to purchase from APOLLO ENDOSURGERY, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the price of $1.2223 per share (the “Exercise Price”), at any time after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) and expiring on February 27, 2022 (the “Expiration Date”), 2,850,000 shares of the fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock of the Company (as such number may be adjusted as provided herein). The Aggregate Number (as defined below) as in effect on the Commencement Date represents the number of shares that as of the date hereof would constitute 2.04% of all issued and outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company on a Fully Diluted basis (as defined below). This Common Stock Purchase Warrant (this “Warrant”) is issued under and pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement by and among the Company, Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP, as administrative agent, the guarantors party thereto, and the other lenders from time to time party thereto dated as of February 27, 2015 (as amended, modified, restated, refinanced, replaced or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 11 hereof unless otherwise defined herein.
SECTION 1. The Warrant; Transfer and Exchange.
(a) The Warrant. This Warrant, and the rights and privileges of the Holder hereunder, may be exercised by the Holder in whole or in part as provided herein; shall survive any termination of the Credit Agreement or exercise of this Warrant (as set forth in Section 12 of this Warrant); and, as more fully set forth in Sections 1(b) and 8 hereof, may be transferred by the Holder to any other Person or Persons who meet the requirements set forth herein at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part, regardless of whether the Holder retains any or all rights under the Credit Agreement.
(b) Transfer and Exchanges. The Company shall initially record this Warrant on a register to be maintained by the Company with its other stock books and subject to Section 8 hereof, from time to time thereafter shall reflect the transfer of this Warrant on such register when the Holder delivers notice of transfer in accordance with the terms hereof, accompanied by appropriate instructions, and further accompanied by payment in cash or by check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of the Company, in United States currency, of an amount equal to any stamp or other tax or governmental
charge or fee required to be paid in connection with the transfer thereof, if any. Upon any such transfer, if requested by the Holder, a new warrant or warrants shall be issued to the transferee and the Holder (in the event this Warrant is only partially transferred) and the surrendered warrant shall be canceled. This Warrant may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, when surrendered at the Principal Office of the Company, for another warrant or other warrants of like tenor and representing in the aggregate the right to purchase a like number of shares of Common Stock.
SECTION 2. Exercise.
(a) Right to Exercise. At any time after the Commencement Date and on or before the Expiration Date, the Holder, in accordance with the terms hereof, may exercise this Warrant, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, by delivering this Warrant to the Company during normal business hours on any Business Day at the Company’s Principal Office, together with the Notice of Exercise, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed, and payment of the Exercise Price per share for each share purchased, as specified in the Notice of Exercise. The aggregate Exercise Price (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) to be paid for the shares to be purchased (the “Exercise Amount”) shall equal the product of (i) the Exercise Amount multiplied by (ii) the Exercise Price. If the Expiration Date is not a Business Day, then this Warrant may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall not be required to become a party to the Stockholders Agreement upon exercise of this Warrant; provided that, contemporaneously upon the exercise of this Warrant, the Holder agrees to execute and deliver the letter agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.
(b) Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price. Payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price shall be made to the Company in cash or other immediately available funds or as provided in Section 2(c), or a combination thereof. In the case of payment of all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price pursuant to Section 2(c), the direction by the Holder to make a “Cashless Exercise” shall serve as accompanying payment for that portion of the Exercise Price.
(c) Cashless Exercise. The Holder shall have the right to pay all or a portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price by making a “Cashless Exercise”, in which case the portion of the Aggregate Exercise Price to be so paid shall be paid by reducing the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable. In such event, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock computed using the following formula:
X = Y(A-B)/A
where:
X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Holder;
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised (inclusive of the shares of Common Stock surrendered to the Company in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price);
A = the Fair Market Value Per Share; and
B = the Exercise Price.
(d) Issuance of Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant at its Principal Office in proper form for exercise, and accompanied by the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that certificates representing such
shares of Common Stock may not then be actually delivered. Within ten calendar days after such surrender of this Warrant, delivery of the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price as aforesaid, the Company shall issue and cause to be delivered to, or upon the written order of, the Holder (and in such name or names as the Holder may designate) a certificate or certificates for the Exercise Amount, subject to any reduction as provided in Section 2(c) for a cashless exercise.
(e) Fractional Shares. If any fractional interest in a share of Common Stock would, but for the provisions of Section 5(a)(v) of the Certificate of Incorporation be deliverable upon an exercise of this Warrant, the Company, in lieu of delivering such fractional share of Common Stock, shall pay an amount to the Holder of such fractional interest equal to the fair market value of such fractional interest as of the date of conversion (as determined in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation).
(f) Partial Exercise. In the event of a partial exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall issue to the Holder a Warrant in like form for the unexercised portion thereof which has not expired.
SECTION 3. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall pay all stamp taxes attributable to the initial issuance of shares or other securities issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant or issuable pursuant to Section 6 hereof, excluding any tax or taxes which may be payable because of the transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of any certificates for shares or other securities issued or delivered upon exercise of this Warrant in a name other than that of the Holder in respect of which such shares or securities are issued.
SECTION 4. Replacement Warrant. In case this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue and deliver in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant, or in lieu of and in substitution for this Warrant lost, stolen or destroyed, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing an equivalent right or interest, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction of such Warrant and upon receipt of an indemnification agreement by the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company.
SECTION 5. Option to Put.
(a) Put Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, in connection with a Put Event (as defined herein), the Holder may elect to sell to the Company this Warrant or such portion thereof, and the Company shall be required to purchase this Warrant or any portion thereof, in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Put Option”). If the Holder elects to exercise the Put Option in connection with (i) a Change of Control, then the redemption of this Warrant or such portion thereof shall occur contemporaneously with such Change of Control or (ii) an Event of Non-Compliance, then the Holder may elect to cause the Company to redeem this Warrant or such portion thereof upon the occurrence of, or at any time (or from time to time) following, such Event of Non-Compliance; provided that the Put Option referenced in this Section 5(a)(ii) shall expire, solely with respect to such Event of Non-Compliance, thirty (30) days following the receipt of notice regarding such Event of Non-Compliance by the Holder in accordance with Section 5(g)(ii) below.
(b) Put Notice. To exercise the Put Option, the Holder shall give notice of exercise of the Put Option to the Company (the “Put Notice”) in the manner described in Section 17. The Put Notice shall be delivered not less than (i) five (5) days prior to the proposed closing date of the Put Event (if such Put Event is a Change of Control) as set forth in the notice delivered to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(g) or (ii) one (1) day prior the redemption date, if such Put Event is an Event of Non-Compliance. All redemption notices shall set forth the portion of this Warrant to be redeemed.
(c) Redemption Price. The purchase price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Warrant or any portion thereof to be purchased or redeemed by the Company hereunder shall be calculated for the purposes of a purchase or redemption under this Section 5 contemporaneously with the closing of the applicable Put Event (if such Put
Event is a Change of Control) or upon the redemption date (if such Put Event is an Event of Non-Compliance) and shall be equal to the product of (A) the difference of (1) the Fair Market Value Per Share minus (2) the Exercise Price per share then in effect multiplied by (B) the number of Warrant Shares to be redeemed; provided that, any payment received by Holder pursuant to any Put Event shall be subject to and conditioned up such Holder’s pro rata contribution to any applicable escrow, holdback, earnout, expense fund or otherwise, as applicable, in each case as long as such amounts shall be withheld on at least a pro rata basis among all stockholders participating in the Put Event.
(d) Closing. Promptly following the closing of the redemption, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company at its Principal Office or such other place as may be reasonably agreed upon by the Holder and the Company on tender by the Company of the Redemption Price in cash or other immediately available funds contemporaneously with the closing of the applicable Put Event (if such Put Event is a Change of Control) or the redemption date (if such Put Event is an Event of Non-Compliance).
(e) Partial Redemption; Rights Upon Full or Partial Exercise. If this Warrant is redeemed only in part, the Company shall issue a new warrant or warrants for the remaining portion of the warrant, which warrant shall be registered in the name of and delivered to the appropriate holder. Upon exercise of this Warrant in full, the rights under this Section 5 shall terminate. Upon exercise of this Warrant in part, the rights under this Section 5 shall terminate with respect to the Warrant Shares obtained upon such exercise.
(f) Treatment of Warrant upon Change of Control.
(i) In connection with a Change of Control transaction the Company shall request that (A) the acquirer of the Company, (B) the successor or surviving entity or (C) the parent entity of the acquirer of the Company, in each case in connection with a Change of Control (each, the “Acquirer”) assume this Warrant in connection therewith. If the Acquirer assumes this Warrant, then this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Warrant Shares were outstanding on the record date for the Change of Control and subsequent closing.
(ii) If the Acquirer will not assume this Warrant in connection with the Change of Control, the Company shall give the Holder an additional written notice of such fact at least ten (10) days prior to the closing of the Change of Control. In such event, notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary, the Holder may (at its option) exercise this Warrant in the manner specified in this Warrant with such exercise effective immediately prior to closing of the Change of Control or exercise its Put Option in accordance with this Section 5.
(iii) The Company agrees that if the Holder has given a Put Notice in connection with a Change of Control, the Company shall not consummate the Change of Control unless the Redemption Price is paid in cash contemporaneously with or out of the proceeds immediately upon the closing of such transaction and provisions are made for the future payments of the Redemption Price in connection with any applicable escrow, holdback, earnout, expense fund or otherwise, as applicable.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 5(f) (including an Acquirer’s agreement to assume this Warrant) shall limit the Holder’s option to exercise its Put Option in connection with a Change of Control in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(a)(i) hereof.
(g) Notice of Put Event. The Company shall give the Holder written notice (i) at least thirty (30) days prior to the closing of any proposed Change of Control and (ii) immediately upon the chief executive officer, treasurer or president of the Company becoming aware of an Event of Non-Compliance.
(h) Termination. The Put Option described in this Section 5 shall terminate immediately, provided that the Holder has received all requisite notice in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, (i)
upon the closing of an Initial Public Offering of the Company and (ii) following the closing of the Change of Control if the Holder elects not to exercise its Put Option in connection with such Change of Control.
SECTION 6. Adjustments to Warrant.
Under certain conditions, this Warrant is subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 6.
(a) Adjustments. The Aggregate Number after taking into consideration any prior adjustments pursuant to this Section 6, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows and, thereafter, as adjusted, shall be deemed to be the Aggregate Number hereunder.
(i) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall:
(A) issue to the holders of its shares of Common Stock a dividend paid in, or other distribution of, shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Dividend”);
(B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, including without limitation by means of a stock split (a “Stock Subdivision”); or
(C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock (a “Stock Combination”);
then the Aggregate Number in effect immediately prior thereto shall be (1) proportionately increased in the case of a Stock Dividend or a Stock Subdivision and (2) proportionately decreased in the case of a Stock Combination, and the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be proportionately adjusted. In the event the Company shall declare or pay, without consideration, any dividend on the shares of Common Stock paid in any right to acquire shares of Common Stock for no consideration, then the Company shall be deemed to have made a Stock Dividend in an amount of shares equal to the maximum number of shares issuable upon exercise of such rights to acquire shares of Common Stock.
(ii) Other Distributions. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its shares of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive any dividend or other distribution not provided for in Section 6(a)(i) above (collectively, a “Distribution”) of:
(A) cash;
(B) any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its Capital Stock of the Company (other than additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (other than cash); or
(C) any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any of the following: any evidences of its indebtedness (other than Convertible Securities), any shares of its Capital Stock of the Company (other than additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities) or any other securities or property of any nature whatsoever;
then the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company to receive upon the exercise of this Warrant at any time on or after the taking of such record in accordance with the terms hereof, the number of Warrant Shares to be received upon exercise of this Warrant determined as stated herein and, in addition and without further payment, the cash, evidences of indebtedness, stock, securities, other property, options, warrants and/or other rights (or any portion thereof) to which the Holder would have
been entitled by way of such Distribution and subsequent dividends and distributions through the date of exercise as if such Holder (x) had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such Distribution and (y) had received the Distribution in respect of the shares of Common Stock and all subsequent dividends and distributions of any nature whatsoever in respect of any stock or securities paid as dividends and distributions and originating directly or indirectly from such shares of Common Stock.
A reclassification of the shares of Common Stock into shares of Common Stock and shares of any other class of stock shall be deemed a Distribution by the Company to the holders of its shares of Common Stock of such shares of such other class of stock and, if the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be changed into a larger or smaller number of shares of Common Stock as a part of such reclassification, such event shall be deemed a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination, as the case may be, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock within the meaning of Section 6(a)(i) hereof.
(iii) Issuance of shares of Common Stock. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall (except as hereinafter provided in this Section 6(a)(iii)) issue or sell any additional shares of Common Stock for a consideration per share less than the Trigger Price Per Share (other than pursuant to the Permitted Stock Option Plan or Exempt Issuances, which shall not result in adjustments pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iii)) then, effective on the date specified below, the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted by multiplying (A) the Aggregate Number immediately prior thereto by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock, (y) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants, rights or Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such shares of Common Stock (whether or not then exercisable), and (z) the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (p) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock, (q) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exercise of options, warrants, rights or Convertible Securities outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock (whether or not then exercisable), and (r) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Trigger Price Per Share. The date as of which the Trigger Price Per Share shall be computed on the date of actual issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock.
The provisions of this Section 6(a)(iii) shall not apply to any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for which an adjustment is otherwise provided under Section 6(a)(i) hereof. No adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall be made under this Section 6(a)(iii) upon the issuance of any additional shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to (1) any Exempt Issuances, (2) the exercise of other subscription or purchase rights or (3) the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, provided that for purposes of clauses (2) or (3) an adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such other rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrants or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) hereof.
(iv) Convertible Securities. If at any time or from time to time the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a distribution of, or shall in any manner (whether directly, by assumption in a merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation and in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the merger continue to own more than 50% of the Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the merger and for a period of 180 days thereafter, or otherwise) issue or sell Convertible Securities (or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities or Common Stock (other than pursuant to the Permitted Stock Option Plan or Exempt Issuances, which shall not result in adjustments pursuant to this Section 6(a)(iv))), whether or not the rights to subscribe, exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the consideration per share for the additional shares of Common Stock which may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be
less than the Trigger Price Per Share, then the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted as provided in Section 6(a)(iii) hereof on the basis that (A) the maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock necessary to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of the determination of the Trigger Price Per Share as herein provided and (B) the aggregate consideration for such maximum number of additional shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be the minimum consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of such Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities or Common Stock). For purposes of this Section 6(a)(iv), the effective date of such adjustment and the date as of which the Trigger Price Per Share shall be the date of actual issuance of such Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities or Common Stock).
(v) Subsequent Adjustments. If at any time after an adjustment of the Aggregate Number has been made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv) hereof on the basis of the issuance of Convertible Securities (or any warrants or options or other rights to subscribe for Convertible Securities), or after any new adjustments of the Aggregate Number shall have been made pursuant to this Section 6(a)(v);
(A) such warrants, options or rights or the right of conversion or exchange in such Convertible Securities shall expire, and all or any portion of such warrants, options or rights, or the right of conversion or exchange in respect of all or any portion of such Convertible Securities, as the case may be, shall not have been exercised prior to such expiration; and/or
(B) in the case of adjustments made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv), the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable pursuant to such warrants, options or rights per the terms of such Convertible Securities shall be increased solely by virtue of provisions therein contained for an automatic increase in such consideration per share upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event;
such previous adjustment shall be rescinded and annulled and the adjustments to the Aggregate Number which occurred by virtue of Sections 6(a)(iv) or 6(a)(v) shall no longer apply. Simultaneously therewith, a recomputation shall be made of the effect of such Convertible Securities on the determination of the Aggregate Number, which shall be made on the basis of:
(1) treating the number of additional shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued pursuant to the previous exercise of such warrants, options or rights or such right of conversion or exchange as having been issued on the date or dates of such exercise and, in the case of a recomputation of a calculation originally made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv), for the consideration actually received and receivable therefor, and
(2) in the case of a recomputation of a calculation originally made pursuant to Section 6(a)(iv), treating any such warrants, options or rights or any such Convertible Securities which then remain outstanding as having been granted or issued immediately after the time of such irrevocable increase of the consideration per share for which shares of Common Stock are issuable under such warrants, options or rights or Convertible Securities;
and, if and to the extent called for by the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(a)(v) on the basis aforesaid, a new adjustment of the Aggregate Number shall be made, such new adjustment shall supersede the previous adjustment so rescinded and annulled.
(vi) Exempt Issuances. The provisions of Sections 6(a)(iii) and 6(a)(iv) shall not apply to any issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (A) for which an adjustment is otherwise provided under Section 6(a)(i) hereof, (B) pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant (or any Warrant issued as a replacement for this Warrant or upon the transfer or partial exercise hereof) in
whole or in part, (C) pursuant to the exercise of any subscription or purchase rights, or the exercise of any conversion or exchange rights in any Convertible Securities, so long as an adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such rights or upon the issuance of such Convertible Securities (or upon the issuance of any warrants or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 5(a)(iv) hereof (D) pursuant to the issuance of Common Stock (or options related thereto) upon the exercise of options granted or to be granted under the Permitted Stock Option Plan (subject to adjustment for any combinations, consolidations, stock distributions or stock dividends with respect to the shares of Common Stock), (E) the issuance of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Qualifying IPO, (F) the issuance of shares of Common Stock as consideration in connection with the acquisition of all or a controlling interest in another business (whether by merger, purchase of stock or assets or otherwise) if such issuance is approved by the board of directors, (G) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities, following the Commencement Date, issued pursuant to any equipment loan or leasing arrangement, real property leasing arrangement or debt financing from a bank or similar financial institution (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the lenders under the Credit Agreement) approved by the Company’s board of directors; (H) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions approved by the Company’s board of directors, (I) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation by the Company by merger, purchase of substantially all of the assets or other reorganization or to a joint venture agreement, provided, that such issuances are approved by the Company’s board of directors, (J) the issuance of shares of Common Stock, warrants or Convertible Securities pursuant to a bona fide public offering registered under the Securities Act or (K) following an Initial Public Offering of the Company, the issuance of shares of Common Stock, warrants or Convertible Securities pursuant to a private placement at such time as the Company’s securities are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act (the issuances in subsections (A)-(K) collectively, the “Exempt Issuances”).
(vii) Miscellaneous. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the Aggregate Number provided above in this Section 6(a):
(A) The sale or other disposition of any issued shares of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed an issuance thereof for the purposes of this Section 6(a).
(B) To the extent that any additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities or any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any additional shares of Common Stock or any Convertible Securities (1) are issued solely for cash consideration, the consideration received by the Company therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of the cash received by the Company therefor, (2) are offered by the Company for subscription, the consideration received by the Company shall be deemed to be the subscription price or (3) are sold to underwriters or dealers for public offering, the net consideration (after giving effect to underwriting discounts or sales commissions) received by the Company shall be deemed to be the consideration received by the Company therefor, in any such case excluding any amounts paid or receivable for accrued interest or accrued dividends. To the extent that such issuance shall be for a consideration other than cash, or partially for cash and partially for other consideration, then, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the amount of such consideration shall be deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration (plus, if applicable, the amount of such cash) at the time of such issuance, determined in the manner set forth in Section 6(d)(ii).
The consideration for any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of any Convertible Securities shall be equal to (x) the consideration received by the Company for issuing any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase such Convertible Securities, plus (y) the consideration paid or payable to the Company in respect of the subscription for or purchase of such Convertible Securities, plus (z) the consideration, if any,
payable to the Company upon the exercise of the right of conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
In case of the issuance at any time of any additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities in payment or satisfaction of any dividends upon any class of stock other than Common Stock, the Company shall be deemed to have received for such additional shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities a consideration equal to the amount of such dividend so paid or satisfied.
(C) The adjustments required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 6(a) shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that no adjustment of the Aggregate Number that would otherwise be required shall be made (except in the case of a Stock Subdivision or Stock Combination, as provided for in Section 6(a)(i) hereof) unless and until such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts at least one share to or from the Aggregate Number immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 6(a) and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
(D) If the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights, then no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
(E) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6(a) or any other provision of this Warrant, at all times adjustments shall be made to the Aggregate Number such that the Holder will not be diluted in any manner (economically or otherwise) due to the adoption, creation, existence or amendment of any option plans (other than the Permitted Stock Option Plan (the adoption, creation or existence of which shall not result in an adjustment hereunder)), equity-based bonus plans, stock plans, stock appreciation rights plan or similar contractual obligations by or of the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries (or issuance and/or exercise of any securities thereunder) whether or not such securities are issued at or below Fair Market Value Per Share.
(b) Changes in Common Stock. If at any time, other than in connection with a Change of Control, the Company shall initiate any transaction or be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the Common Stock) in connection with which the previous Outstanding Common Stock shall be changed into or exchanged for different securities of the Company or Capital Stock of the Company or other securities of another corporation or interests in a non-corporate entity or other property (including cash or cash equivalents) or any combination of the foregoing (each such transaction being herein called a “Transaction”), then as a condition of the consummation of the Transaction, the Company shall provide that lawful, enforceable and adequate provision shall be made so that the Holder shall be entitled to receive a new warrant in form and substance similar to, and in exchange for, this Warrant to purchase all or a portion of such securities or other property; provided that, if (i) the Company is unable to secure such new warrant and (ii) the Holder is unable to receive the aggregate consideration to which it is entitled in the form of cash or cash equivalents for this Warrant (without being required to exercise this Warrant) in connection with such Transaction, then, the Holder may elect, by giving the Company written notice thereof, to either (a)
exercise this Warrant in connection with the consummation of the Transaction for, in lieu of the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, the securities or other property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon consummation of the Transaction if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto (subject to adjustments from and after the consummation date as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in this Section 6) or (b) sell this Warrant to the Company (without being required to exercise this Warrant) in connection with the consummation of the Transaction at a price equal to the product of (A) the difference of (1) the Fair Market Value Per Share minus (2) the Exercise Price per share then in effect multiplied by (B) the Aggregate Number then in effect; provided that, any consideration received by Holder pursuant to any Transaction shall be subject to and conditioned up such Holder’s pro rata contribution to any applicable escrow, holdback, earnout, expense fund or otherwise, as applicable, in each case as long as such amounts shall be withheld on at least a pro rata basis among all stockholders participating in the Transaction. The Company will not affect any Transaction unless prior to consummation thereof each corporation or other entity (other than the Company) which may be required to deliver any new warrant, securities or other property as provided herein assumes, by written instrument delivered to the Holder, the obligation to deliver to such Holder such new warrant, securities or other property as in accordance with the foregoing provisions. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6(b) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.
(c) Other Action Affecting Common Stock. In case at any time or from time to time the Company shall take any action of the type contemplated in Section 6(a) or (b) hereof but not expressly provided for by such provisions (excluding any Exempt Issuance), then, unless in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors such action will not have an adverse effect upon the rights of the Holder (taking into consideration, if necessary, any prior actions which the board of directors deemed not to materially adversely affect the rights of the Holder), the Aggregate Number shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as the board of directors of the Company may in good faith determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

direct or indirect equity holder of the Company, (ii) the equity of the Company or (iii) any duty it may have to any other direct or indirect equity holder of the Company, except as may be required under the applicable loan documents or by commercial law applicable to creditors generally.

This Letter Agreement (“Agreement”) is executed pursuant to the terms of that certain Warrant dated as of February 27, 2015 (the “Warrant”) issued by and among Apollo Endosurgery, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) to Athyrium Opportunities II Acquisition LP. All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined in this Agreement will have the meanings given to them in the Warrant. By the execution of this Agreement, the undersigned or permitted transferee agrees as follows:
(i) Definitions.
(A) A “Sale of the Company” shall mean either: (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a Person, or a group of related Persons, acquires from stockholders of the Company shares representing more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company to an Independent Third Party (a “Stock Sale”); or (ii) a transaction that qualifies as a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, as defined in and pursuant to Section IV.C.2(a) and (c) of the Certificate of Incorporation.
(B) “Independent Third Party” means any Person who, immediately prior to the contemplated transaction, (i) does not own, directly or indirectly, in excess of 5% of the Capital Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis (a “5% Owner”), (ii) is not controlling, controlled by or under common control with any such 5% Owner, (iii) is not the spouse or descendent (by birth or adoption) of any such 5% Owner or a trust for the benefit of such 5% Owner and/or such Persons, and (iv) is neither a portfolio company of any such 5% Owner nor a subsidiary of any portfolio company of any such 5% Owner.
(C) “Athyrium Investors” shall mean Holder and its successors and permitted assigns.
(ii) Actions to be Taken. In the event that the holders of at least 65% of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (including any Common Stock that has been issued upon the conversion of Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class (the “Requisite Holders”) (the “Selling Preferred Stockholders”), and a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company, approve a Sale of the Company in writing, specifying that this section shall apply to such transaction, then each Athyrium Investor hereby agrees:
(A) if such transaction requires stockholder approval, with respect to all Warrant Shares that such Athyrium Investor owns or over which such Athyrium Investor otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy or by action by written consent, as applicable) all Warrant Shares in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company (together with any related amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation required in order to implement such Sale of the Company) and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
(B) if such transaction is a Stock Sale, to sell the same proportion of shares of Warrant Shares beneficially held by such Athyrium Investor as is being sold by the Selling Preferred Stockholders to the buyer to whom the Selling Preferred Stockholders propose to sell their Warrant Shares on the same terms and conditions as the Selling Preferred Stockholders;
(C) to execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of the Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company or the Selling Preferred Stockholders in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this section, including without limitation executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental
filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances) and any similar or related documents;
(D) not to deposit, and to cause its affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Warrant Shares owned by such party in a voting trust or subject any Warrant Shares to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company;
(E) to refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company;
(F) if the consideration to be paid in exchange for the Warrant Shares pursuant to this section includes any securities, and due receipt thereof by any stockholder of the Company would require under applicable law (x) the registration or qualification of such securities or of any person as a broker or dealer or agent with respect to such securities or (y) the provision to any stockholder of the Company of any information other than such information as a prudent issuer would generally furnish in an offering made solely to “accredited investors” as defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act, the Company may cause to be paid to any such Athyrium Investor in lieu thereof, against surrender of the Warrant Shares which would have otherwise been sold by such Athyrium Investor, an amount in cash equal to the fair value (as determined in good faith by the Company) of the securities which such Athyrium Investor would otherwise receive as of the date of the issuance of such securities in exchange for the Warrant Shares; and
(G) in the event that the Selling Preferred Stockholders, in connection with such Sale of the Company, appoint a stockholder representative (the “Stockholder Representative”) with respect to matters affecting the stockholder of the Company under the applicable definitive transaction agreements following consummation of such Sale of the Company, (x) to consent to (a) the appointment of such Athyrium Investor Representative, (b) the establishment of any applicable escrow, expense or similar fund in connection with any indemnification or similar obligations and (c) the payment of such Athyrium Investor’s pro rata portion (from the applicable escrow or expense fund or otherwise) of any and all reasonable fees and expenses to such Athyrium Investor Representative in connection with such Athyrium Investor Representative’s services and duties in connection with such Sale of the Company and its related service as the representative of the stockholders of the Company, and (y) not to assert any claim or commence any suit against the Stockholder Representative or any other stockholder of the Company with respect to any action or inaction taken or failed to be taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with its service as the Stockholder Representative, absent fraud gross negligence, willful misconduct, or as otherwise set forth in any agreement governing the conduct of the Stockholder Representative.
(iii) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Athyrium Investor will be required to comply with section above in connection with any Sale of the Company unless:
(A) any representations and warranties to be made by such Athyrium Investor in connection with the Sale of the Company are limited to representations and warranties related to authority, ownership and the ability to convey title to such Warrant Shares, including and limited to representations and warranties that (w) any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be withheld on at least a pro rata basis among all stockholders of the Company, (x) such Athyrium Investor holds all right, title and interest in and to the Warrant Shares such Athyrium Investor purports to hold, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, (y) the obligations of such Athyrium Investor in connection with the transaction have been duly authorized, if applicable, and (z) the documents to be entered into by such Athyrium Investor have been duly executed by such Athyrium Investor and delivered to the acquirer and are enforceable against such Athyrium Investor in accordance with their respective terms;
(B) subject to the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, the liability of an Athyrium Investor shall be limited to such Athyrium Investor’s pro rata share (determined in proportion to proceeds received by such Athyrium Investor in connection with such Sale of the Company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation) of a negotiated aggregate indemnification amount but that in no event shall that amount exceed the amount of consideration actually paid to such Athyrium Investor in connection with such Sale of the Company; except with respect to (x) representations and warranties of such Athyrium Investor relating to authority, ownership and ability to convey title to such Warrant Shares, (y) any covenants made by such Athyrium Investor with respect to confidentiality or voting related to the Sale of the Company, or (z) claims related to fraud or willful breach by such Athyrium Investor, the liability for each of which may exceed the limitation set forth above, if and to the extent that such additional liability has been approved by and borne by the Requisite Holders (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation); and
(C) upon the consummation of the Sale of the Company, (w) each holder of shares of any series of the Preferred Stock and each holder of Common Stock will receive the same form of consideration for their shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, as each other holder of Preferred Stock and Common Stock, respectively, (x) each holder of a series of Preferred Stock will receive the same value of consideration per share of such series of Preferred Stock, (y) each holder of Common Stock will receive the same value of consideration per share of Common Stock, and (z) unless elected by the holders of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, the aggregate consideration receivable by all holders of any series of Preferred Stock and Common Stock shall be allocated among the holders of such Preferred Stock and Common Stock on the basis of the relative liquidation preferences to which the holders of each respective series of such Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock are entitled in a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as defined in and pursuant to Section IV.C.2(a) and (c) of the Certificate of Incorporation, and assuming for this purpose that the Sale of the Company is a Deemed Liquidation Event) in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation in effect immediately prior to the Sale of the Company.
