Board Observers; Information Rights: | Until the obligations under the Note have been repaid in full, the Investor shall have the right to designate one (1) observer (the “Board Observer”) to attend meetings of the Board of Directors of the Company, committees and sub-committees thereof, and the boards of directors (or similar governing body) and committees and sub-committees of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company (collectively, the “Company Boards”); provided that such Board Observer shall have no voting rights. All materials delivered to the members of the Company Boards shall be contemporaneously provided to the Board Observer, including any actions to be taken by written consent. With respect to any subsidiary of the Company that is manager-managed or GP-managed (i.e., LLCs or LPs), all written consents thereof shall be promptly provided to the Board Observer following execution. The Board Observer shall be subject to customary confidentiality terms (it being understood and agreed that all materials provided to the observer in such capacity shall be received on a confidential basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board Observer may be excluded by the directors from attending any portion of a Company Board meeting and certain materials that would otherwise be required to be furnished to the Board Observer hereunder may be withheld or redacted from distribution if: (x) such attendance would directly jeopardize Company’s or any of its subsidiaries’ ability to assert the attorney-client privilege with respect to the matters discussed or disclosed, and (y) the matters discussed or disclosed relate to a matter involving a direct conflict of interest with the Board Observer, the Investor or their respective affiliates (including matters directly relating to this term sheet or the terms of any of the definitive documents, the Investor or their affiliates, in each case, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors; provided, that if the Board Observer disagrees with any proposed exclusion under clause (x) or (y) above, the Company shall at the Board Observer’s written direction be required to obtain a recommendation in writing by outside counsel that the Board Observer be excluded in order to preserve privilege or avoid a direct conflict. To the extent that the Investor remains entitled to have a Board Observer, the Company shall (i) reimburse the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Board Observer prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing to the extent that such expenses would be reimbursed for any director (independent or otherwise) of the Company, with such reimbursement obligation capped at $10,000 per year (and such $10,000/year cap being pro rated for any partial year), and (ii) pay to the Board Observer a fee equivalent to the fees paid to independent directors of the Company for a period ending on the 18 month anniversary of the Closing, with such fees capped at $80,000 per year (and such $80,000/year cap being pro rated for any partial year). Without limiting the foregoing, the Investor will have customary information rights, including a right to receive annual and quarterly financial statements, annual budget, and monthly reporting to include (i) a profit and loss statement with detail by product for (a) net sales, (b) cost of sales (c) royalty/milestone obligations for the period, (ii) operating expenses by line item (i.e., salary, R&D, legal, etc.) (iii) Gross-to-Net report (“GtN”), including a breakdown by product between WAC and net revenues (including contract price discounts, cash discounts, rebates, distribution fees, etc.), and (iv) new and total scripts by product (in each case of the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv), subject to deadlines to be mutually agreed, but in no event earlier than 30 days after month-end). The Board Observer shall have the right to receive such additional information regarding the Company as the Board Observer shall reasonably request, which shall be provided to the Board Observer reasonably promptly following such request and the Board Observer shall be permitted to share such information with C-Suite level executives of Investor on a confidential basis. Board Observer and Investor will acknowledge and agree that any information so provided or received as a result of the foregoing observation and information rights may be material non-public information for purposes of federal securities laws and the Observer and Investor shall not engage in unlawful trading of the Company’s or Sorrento’s securities when in possession of such information. |
