FUNDING AGREEMENT

This FUNDING AGREEMENT, dated as of January 7, 2018 (this “Agreement”), is made and entered into by and between RPI FINANCE TRUST, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Buyer”), and IMMUNOMEDICS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Seller desires additional funding to, among other things, develop and commercialize the Product and the Buyer desires, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to provide the Seller with such additional funding; and

WHEREAS, the Buyer desires to purchase the Revenue Participation Right from the Seller in exchange for payment of the Purchase Price, and the Seller desires to sell the Revenue Participation Right to the Buyer in exchange for the Buyer’s payment of the Purchase Price, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE, SALE AND ASSIGNMENT OF THE REVENUE PARTICIPATION RIGHT

Section 1.1      Purchase, Sale and Assignment.  At the Closing and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Seller shall sell, transfer, assign and convey to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, the Revenue Participation Right free and clear of all Liens.

Section 1.2      Purchase Price.  At the Closing and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the purchase price to be paid as consideration to the Seller for the sale, transfer, assignment and conveyance of the Revenue Participation Right to the Buyer is One Hundred and Seventy Five Million Dollars ($175,000,000) in cash (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.3      No Assumed Obligations, Etc..  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer is only agreeing, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to purchase, acquire and accept the Revenue Participation Right and is not assuming any liability or obligation of the Seller of whatever nature, whether presently in existence or arising or asserted hereafter.

Section 1.4      Stock Purchase Agreement.  Simultaneous with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Seller and the Buyer shall deliver to the other party hereto a duly executed Stock Purchase Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”).

Section 1.5      Call Option.

 

 


 

Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to portions of this agreement as indicated by “[***]” and such confidential portions have been deleted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

 

(a)        Following a Change of Control, Seller shall have the option (the “Call Option”) during the Call Option Exercise Period to repurchase fifty percent (50%) of the Revenue Participation Right from the Buyer at the Call Option Price.  Seller may exercise the Call Option once only and solely during the Call Option Exercise Period by delivering to the Seller a call option exercise notice (the “Call Option Exercise Notice”) containing the Seller’s proposed purchase price (the “Seller Proposed Price”) for the interest to be purchased, together with a report supporting the Seller Proposed Price from a nationally recognized valuation expert having expertise in the valuation of pharmaceutical products and having no business relationship with the Seller.  The exercise of the Call Option shall be irrevocable.

(b)        The Seller Proposed Price shall be calculated as the net present value, applying a five percent (5%) discount rate, of the unreceived Participation Payments determined based upon projected sales of the Products as determined by Seller’s valuation expert.

(c)        The Seller shall pay the Call Option Price to the Buyer (10) Business Days following the determination of the definitive Call Option Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts specified by the Buyer.

(d)        Following the Buyer’s receipt of the Call Option Price payment, each subsequent Participation Payment to be made to the Buyer in accordance with Section 5.2(a) shall be reduced by fifty percent (50%).

(e)        If the Seller exercises the Call Option, the following provisions shall apply to determine the Call Option Price.

(i)         If the Buyer does not deliver a written notice to the Seller within twenty (20) Business Days after the Buyer receives the Call Option Exercise Notice, the Seller Proposed Price shall be deemed the definitive Call Option Price and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

(ii)       If the Buyer delivers a written notice to the Seller within twenty (20) Business Days after the Buyer receives the Call Option Exercise Notice objecting to the proposed Call Option Price included in the Call Option Exercise Notice, then the Buyer shall have thirty (30) Business Days from delivery of its written notice of objection to deliver to the Seller a written notice setting forth the Buyer’s proposed Call Option Price (the “Buyer Proposed Price” and, together with the Seller Proposed Price, the “Proposed Prices”) together with a report supporting the Buyer Proposed Price from a nationally recognized valuation expert having expertise in the valuation of pharmaceutical products and having no business relationship with the Buyer.

(iii)      The Buyer Proposed Price shall be calculated as the net present value, applying a five percent (5%) discount rate, of the unreceived Participation Payments determined based upon projected sales of the Products as determined by Buyer’s valuation expert.

(iv)       If the Buyer Proposed Price is within [***]% of the Seller Proposed Price, the average of the Seller Proposed Price and the Buyer Proposed Price shall be deemed the definitive Call Option Price and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

(v)        If the Buyer Proposed Price is not within [***]% of the Seller Proposed Price, the two valuation experts who provided reports supporting the Proposed Prices will appoint a third a nationally recognized valuation expert having expertise in the valuation of pharmaceutical products and having no business relationship with either the Seller or the Buyer (the “Deciding Valuation Firm”).

(vi)       Within ten (10) Business Days after the selection of the Deciding Valuation Firm, the Buyer and the Seller will each provide the Deciding Valuation Firm with each party’s respective Proposed Prices, together with the reports supporting their respective Proposed Prices and any other commentary they wish to submit.

(vii)     Within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt by the Deciding Valuation Firm of the Proposed Prices, supporting reports and any other documentation from each party, the Deciding Valuation Firm shall select one of the Proposed Prices as the one the Deciding Valuation Firm believes most closely approximates the net present value, applying a five percent (5%) discount rate, of the unreceived Participation Payments determined based upon projected sales of the Products as would have been determined by the Deciding Valuation Firm had it been asked to deliver its own report.  The Deciding Valuation Firm must select either the Seller Proposed Price or the Buyer Proposed Price; the Deciding Valuation Firm may not average or otherwise independently determine a proposed purchase price that is different from either the Seller Proposed Price or the Buyer Proposed Price.  Upon the selection of one of the Proposed Prices by the Deciding Valuation Firm, such Proposed Price shall be deemed the definitive Call Option Price and shall not be subject to dispute or review.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its valuation expert.  The party whose Proposed Price was not selected by the Deciding Valuation Firm as the final Call Option Price shall pay the costs of the Deciding Valuation Firm.
