TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

  1. Delivery of the Notes at the Closing; Termination.

1.1 Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes (the “Closing”) shall occur at the offices of Cooley LLP, 4401 Eastgate Mall, San Diego, California 92121, on the third business day following the execution of the Agreements or on such later date or at such different location as the parties shall agree in writing, but not prior to the date that the conditions for Closing set forth below have been satisfied or waived by the appropriate party (the date of such Closing being referred to herein as the
Closing Date”).

1.2 Closing Deliveries. At the Closing, (a) the Purchaser shall pay, in immediately available funds, the full amount of the purchase price for the Notes being purchased hereunder by wire transfer to the escrow account specified by the Closing Agent and (b) delivery of the Notes, dated as of the Closing Date and in such principal amount as is being purchased by each Purchaser, shall be made through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in accordance with DTC procedures for book-entry settlement representing the principal amount of Notes and bearing an appropriate legend referring to the fact that the Notes were sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 thereunder. The Closing Agent shall hold such certificates in escrow for the benefit of the Company until released by the Company for issuance and sale as provided in this Section 1.2. The name(s) in which the book-entry Notes are to be registered are set forth in the Purchaser Questionnaire attached as Annex A to the Agreement.

1.3 Closing Mechanics.

(a) One business day prior to the Closing, JMP Securities LLC (“JMP”) as closing agent (in such capacity, the “Closing Agent”) will contact the contact person for the Purchaser to confirm the closing mechanics set forth herein.

(b) On or before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, the Purchaser will pay the full amount of the purchase price for the Notes being purchased hereunder to the Escrow Agent as required by Section 1.2. In the event that the Purchaser shall fail to deliver all or any portion of the purchase price for the Notes being purchased on or before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date as required by Section 1.2, the Closing Agent shall be permitted (but shall not be obligated), in its sole discretion, to fund the purchase price for the Notes being purchased on behalf of the Purchaser; provided, however, that the funding of the purchase of any Notes by the Closing Agent pursuant to this Section 1.3(b) shall not relieve the Purchaser of any liability that it may have to the Company or the Closing Agent pursuant to this Agreement or for the breach of its obligations under this Agreement. In any such case in which the Closing Agent, in its sole discretion, has elected to fund the purchase price for the Notes being purchased on behalf of the Purchaser, if the Purchaser has not fulfilled its obligation to purchase the Notes as set forth herein within two business days of the Closing Date,

 

Annex B-1


the Closing Agent shall thereafter be entitled to retain the certificates representing the Notes and, if so requested by the Closing Agent, the Company shall transfer registration of such Notes to or as directed by the Closing Agent.

(c) In the event that the Closing Agent shall have funded the purchase of the Notes on behalf of the Purchaser under the circumstances set forth in clause (b) above, such Purchaser shall be obligated to repay the Closing Agent in exchange for the release of the Notes to the Purchaser at a purchase price for the Notes equal to 100% of the purchase price for the Notes being purchased by such Purchaser, plus accrued interest from the Closing Date; provided, however, that if the Closing Agent has funded such purchase on behalf of the Purchaser, and the Purchaser subsequently makes payment to the Closing Agent before 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall equal the purchase price for such Notes plus an amount equal to the Closing Agent’s cost of intraday funds for such purchase.

(d) The receipt of funds by the Escrow Agent from the Purchaser shall be deemed to be irrevocable instructions from such Purchaser to the Closing Agent that the conditions to the Closing have been satisfied.

(e) Funds received by the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Section 1 (or funded by the Closing Agent in its sole discretion pursuant to Section 1.3(b)) will be held in trust and not as property or in the title of the Closing Agent. On the Closing Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Closing Agent shall cause the Escrow Agent to disburse such funds (net of the agreed amount of fees and expenses of the placement agents to be paid by the Company) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Company’s written wire instructions (which shall be provided to the Escrow Agent at least one business day prior to the Closing Date), unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Closing Agent.

(f) Upon receipt of the purchase price from the Purchasers, the Closing Agent will cause the delivery of such funds by the Escrow Agent to the Company, pursuant to written instructions from the Company (which shall be provided to the Escrow Agent at least one business day prior to the Closing Date). Immediately following the Company’s receipt of such funds, the Notes purchased by the Purchaser (as specified on the signature page hereof) will be issued by the Company and delivered by electronic book-entry through the facilities of DTC to the account specified by the Purchaser on the Purchaser Questionnaire and will be released by the Trustee, at the written instruction of the Company, to such Purchaser at the Closing and upon receipt of the Purchaser’s DWAC deposit request.

Such financial statements and supporting schedules have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles as applied in the United States, applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as may be expressly stated in the related notes thereto. No other financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be filed with the Commission. To the Company’s

 

Annex B-5


knowledge, no person who has been suspended or barred from being associated with a registered public accounting firm, or who has failed to comply with any sanction pursuant to Rule 5300 promulgated by the PCAOB, has participated in or otherwise aided the preparation of, or audited, the financial statements, supporting schedules or other financial data filed with the Commission. All disclosures included in the SEC Reports regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

2.9 Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. The Company and each of its subsidiaries make and keep books and records that are accurate in all material respects. The Company maintains a system of internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f)) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act (as defined below) applicable to the Company and has been designed by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or under their supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is not aware of any material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (it being understood that this subsection shall not require the Company to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 as of an earlier date than it would otherwise be required to so comply under applicable law). Except a disclosed in the SEC Reports, since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

2.10 Incorporation and Good Standing of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Each of the Company and each subsidiary is duly qualified as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable, to transact business and is in good standing in, with respect to the Company and Horizon Pharma USA, Inc., the State of Illinois, and with respect to each of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock or other equity or ownership interests of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or adverse claim. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity other than (i) the subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 21.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) such other entities omitted from Exhibit 21.1 as, when such omitted entities are

 

Annex B-6


considered in the aggregate as a single subsidiary, would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.

2.11 Capitalization and Other Capital Stock Matters. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as set forth in the Placement Memorandum (other than for subsequent issuances, if any, pursuant to employee benefit plans described in the SEC Reports, upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants described in the SEC Reports or as described in Section 4(e)(ii) of this Agreement). All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company and each of its subsidiaries has been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and has been issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. None of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was issued in violation of any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other similar rights to subscribe for or purchase securities of the Company. Except as may have been issued pursuant to the Company’s stock option and other stock plans or arrangements described in the SEC Reports, there are no authorized or outstanding options, warrants, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase, or equity or debt securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, any capital stock of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than those accurately described in the SEC Reports. The description of the Company’s stock option, stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or other rights granted thereunder, set forth in the SEC Reports accurately and fairly presents, in all material respects, the information required to be disclosed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as applicable, with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights. All grants of options to acquire Shares (each, a “Company Stock Option”) were validly issued and approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, a committee thereof or an individual with authority duly delegated by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee thereof. Grants of Company Stock Options were (i) made in material compliance with all applicable laws and (ii) as a whole, made in material compliance with the terms of the plans under which such Company Stock Options were issued. There is no and has been no policy or practice of the Company to coordinate the grant of Company Stock Options with the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its results of operations or prospects.

2.12 Stock Exchange Listing. The Company’s Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”), and the Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the shares of Common Stock under the Exchange Act or delisting the shares of Common Stock from the Nasdaq, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or the Nasdaq is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

2.13 Non-Contravention of Existing Instruments; No Further Authorizations or Approvals Required. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or bylaws, partnership agreement or operating agreement or similar organizational document, as applicable (each, a “Charter Document”), or is in default (or, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, would be in default) (“Default”) under any indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement, note, contract, franchise, lease or other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound (including, without limitation, any credit agreement, indenture, pledge agreement, security agreement or other instrument or agreement evidencing, guaranteeing, securing or relating to indebtedness of the

 

Annex B-7


Company or any of its subsidiaries ), or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not reasonably be expected to, singly or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Change. The Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the issuance of the Shares upon conversion thereof (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and will not result in any violation of the provisions of any Charter Document of the Company or any subsidiary, as applicable, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to, or require the consent of any other party to, any Existing Instrument, except for such breaches, Defaults or results, or the failure to obtain such consent, as would not reasonable be expected, singly or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change, and (iii) will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or any subsidiary or any of their properties (“Applicable Law”), except for such violations as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Change. No consent, approval, authorization or other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency (each a “Governmental Authority”), is required for the Company’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as have been obtained or made, or will be obtained or made prior to the time such performance is required under this Agreement, by the Company and are or will be, as applicable, in full force and effect under the Securities Act, applicable state securities or blue sky laws and from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).

In order to induce you to act as placement agents with respect to the Offering, and in light of the benefits that the Offering will confer upon the undersigned in his or her capacity as a security holder and/or an officer, director or employee of the Company, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees with Cowen and Company, LLC and JMP Securities LLC (together, the “Representatives”) that, during the period beginning on and including the date of the note purchase agreements pursuant to which the Notes will be issued (the “Purchase Agreements”) through and including the date that is the 90th day after the date of the Purchase Agreements (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, directly or indirectly, (i) offer, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, or publicly announce the intention to otherwise dispose of, any common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) (including, without limitation, Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (such shares, the “Beneficially Owned Shares”)) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock; (ii) enter into any swap, hedge or similar agreement or arrangement that transfers in whole or in part, the economic risk of ownership of the Beneficially Owned Shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the undersigned or with respect to which the undersigned has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or (iii) engage in any short selling of the Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

The restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to any transfers made by the undersigned (i) as a bona fide gift to any member of the immediate family (as defined below) of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned or members of the undersigned’s immediate family, (ii) by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned,

(iii) as forfeitures or sales of Common Stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations of the undersigned in connection with the vesting, settlement or exercise of equity awards by the undersigned pursuant to the Company’s equity plans, (iv) pursuant to a net exercise or cashless exercise by the undersigned of outstanding equity awards pursuant to the Company’s equity plans; provided that that any Common Stock acquired upon the net exercise or cashless exercise of equity awards described in this clause (iv) above shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, (v) pursuant to the conversion or sale of, or an offer to purchase, all or substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock, whether pursuant to a merger, tender offer or otherwise, or (vi) as a bona fide gift to a charity or educational institution; provided, however, that in the case of any transfer described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that (A) the transferee executes and delivers to Cowen and JMP, not later than one business day prior to such transfer, a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the undersigned and not to the immediate family of the transferee) and otherwise reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives, and (B) if the undersigned is required to file a report under Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or Beneficially Owned Shares during the Lock-Up Period (as the same may be extended as described above), the undersigned shall include a statement in such report to the effect that such transfer is being made as a gift or by will or intestate succession, as applicable.
