Article I
RELEASE OF POTENTIAL CLAIMS

 

1.1              Transfer of ADMA Non-Voting Shares.

 

(a)               In consideration for the release of all Potential Claims against Biotest and BPC, BPC hereby transfers, assigns and conveys to ADMA Biologics all of its right, title and interest in and to the ADMA Non-Voting Shares, representing one hundred percent (100%) of the ADMA NV Capital Stock owned by BPC, free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances.

 

(b)               In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) BPC hereby covenants and agrees that it shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, to ADMA Biologics or ADMA Biologics’ transfer agent, as applicable, any and all documentation reasonably required to accomplish the foregoing, including but not limited to a stock power, seller representation letter, opinion of legal counsel or other transfer documents, and (ii) ADMA Biologics hereby covenants and agrees that it shall execute and deliver to its transfer agent a letter of reliance with respect to the opinion of BPC’s counsel (the “Non-Voting Shares Transfer Documents”). The Parties agree the transfer of the ADMA Non-Voting Shares hereunder shall be immediately effective on the date hereof (the “NV Share Closing Date”).

 

1.2              ADMA Release. In consideration for the transfer of ADMA Non-Voting Shares, ADMA agrees, effective on the NV Share Closing Date, as follows: ADMA expressly agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their respective predecessors, successors, assigns, and its and their respective past or present officers, agents, stockholders, members, managers, directors, attorneys, employees and representatives (“ADMA Releasing Parties”), to hereby fully release, remise, acquit and forever discharge BPC, Biotest, Biotest US, the Trust and their respective Affiliates predecessors, successors, assigns, and their respective past or present officers, agents, shareholders, directors, attorneys, employees and representatives (“Biotest Released Parties”), from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, obligations, losses and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses) arising out of any acts, omissions, transactions, transfers, happenings, violations, promises, contracts, agreements, facts or situations which occurred or existed at any time through and including the date of this Agreement, whether or not now known or suspected or claimed, whether in law, equity or otherwise, including, but not limited to, any Potential Claims and any and all other claims for indemnification or other claims, counterclaims, damages, demands, actions or causes of action of any kind or nature that have been asserted or that could have been asserted by the ADMA Releasing Parties against the Biotest Released Parties in each case arising under, in connection with or related to the MPA (collectively, the “ADMA Release”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ADMA Release shall not affect the Parties’ rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Commercial Agreements or any other agreements among the Parties which are currently in effect (except as set forth herein with respect to the MPA) or which may be entered into following the NV Share Closing Date. The ADMA Release is intended to and shall extend to, apply to, cover, and include all unknown, unforeseen, unanticipated, and unexpected claims and all consequences thereof, as well as those which the parties might reasonably anticipate. The provisions of any state, federal, local, or territorial law or statute providing in substance that releases shall not extend to claims that are unknown or unsuspected to the persons executing such releases are hereby expressly waived.

In furtherance of the foregoing, BPC, ADMA BioCenters and ADMA Biologics hereby acknowledge and agree that, effective on the NV Share Closing Date, the BioCenters Purchase Agreement is hereby amended such that (i) Section 8(j) is deleted in its entirety and of no further force and effect, and (ii) the remainder of Section 8 shall be renumbered accordingly.

 

Article II
additional agreements

 

2.1              Transfer of ADMA Voting Shares.

 

(a)               Subject to the closing conditions stated in Article IV below, BPC shall use best efforts and take all such action as is necessary to transfer all of the ADMA Voting Shares to the Trust.  The closing of the transfer of the ADMA Voting Shares shall occur as soon as reasonably practicable following the satisfaction of the closing conditions as set forth herein (the “Voting Shares Closing Date”), but in no event later than July 1, 2018 (provided that Biotest, BPC and the Trust have received all regulatory clearance for the Trust to own and hold the ADMA Voting Shares).  The Parties acknowledge and agree that such transfer shall not constitute a transfer to an “Affiliate” (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) under Section 4.1(c)(i) of the Stockholders Agreement and shall instead be treated as a transfer permitted under Section 4.1(b) of the Stockholders Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, (i) BPC hereby covenants and agrees that it shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, to the Trust or ADMA Biologics’ transfer agent, as applicable, any and all documentation reasonably required to accomplish the transfer, including but not limited to a stock power, opinion of legal counsel or other transfer documents, and (ii) ADMA Biologics hereby covenants and agrees that it shall execute and deliver to its transfer agent a letter of reliance with respect to the opinion of BPC’s counsel (collectively, the “Voting Shares Transfer Documents”).

 

(b)               On the Voting Shares Closing Date, in connection with the transfer of the ADMA Voting Shares to the Trust, BPC shall assign to the Trust, and the Trust shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by and subject to, all rights and obligations of BPC under (i) the Stockholders Agreement, including, but not limited to, the restrictions contained in Articles III and IV therein (but subject to amendments contemplated in Section 2.2 below); and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement. Additionally, BPC and the Trust shall deliver to ADMA an officer’s certificate on the Voting Shares Closing Date attesting to the foregoing and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ADMA (the “Officer’s Certificate”).

 

 

(c)               Effective on the Voting Shares Closing Date, each of ADMA Biologics, BPC and the Trust acknowledge and agree that (x) the Stockholders Agreement be amended such that the definition of “Biotest Stockholder” be amended and restated in its entirety to read, “Biotest Divestiture Trust, a Maryland trust (the “Biotest Stockholder”)”; and (y) the Registration Rights Agreement be amended such that the definition of “Investor” be amended and restated in its entirety to read, “Biotest Divestiture Trust, a Maryland Trust (the “Biotest Stockholder”)”.

 

(d)               BPC and the Trust covenant and agree that the transfer, assignment and conveyance of ADMA Voting Shares will be made in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

 

2.2              Termination of Board, Observer and CEO Rights. Effective on the NV Shares Closing Date, ADMA Biologics and BPC hereby acknowledge and agree that the Stockholders Agreement is hereby amended such that Article VI thereof, including all references thereto, is deleted in its entirety and is of no further force and effect.

 

2.3              Right of First Negotiation. For the ninety (90) day period commencing on the Voting Shares Closing Date (the “ROFN Period”), the Trust hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to ADMA Biologics an exclusive right of first negotiation for the purchase of all of the ADMA Voting Shares at such price and upon such terms as the Trust and ADMA Biologics may mutually agree; provided however, that a definitive agreement concerning the purchase of the ADMA Voting Shares shall require that the closing of the purchase of such shares by ADMA shall (i) be in cash paid in full at closing and (ii) occur no later than the earlier of: (x) three (3) months from date on which a definitive agreement for the sale of the ADMA Voting Shares is executed by the Trust and ADMA Biologics or (y) six (6) months from the Voting Shares Closing Date. ADMA Biologics and the Trust agree to negotiate in good faith during the ROFN Period.

 

2.4              Registration of ADMA Voting Shares. If not filed before, ADMA Biologics agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts during the ROFN Period to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 registering, among other securities, 4,295,580 unregistered ADMA Voting Shares held by BPC (to be transferred to the Trust pursuant to the terms herein). ADMA Biologics hereby confirms that the remaining 5,813,954 ADMA Voting Shares are registered as of the date hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, ADMA Biologics’ failure to file the registration statement contemplated in this Section 2.4 shall not limit the right to demand a registration of the ADMA Voting Shares in accordance with the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

2.5              BPC Market Stand-Off Agreement. If, prior to the ROFN Period, ADMA Biologics undertakes an offering of its equity or debt securities, BPC covenants and agrees to promptly execute and be bound by a market stand-off agreement on the same terms and conditions as the market stand-off agreement entered into by and binding upon ADMA Biologics’ officers and directors in connection with such offering of equity or debt securities and agrees not to sell publicly or otherwise transfer or dispose of any ADMA Voting Shares during the Market Stand-Off Period (as defined below); provided however, that BPC will be bound by such market stand-off agreement for a period equal to the shorter of (i) the time period applicable to ADMA’s officers and directors under their market stand-off agreements or (ii) ninety (90) days from the commencement of the offering (the “Market Stand-Off Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the market stand-off agreement executed by BPC under this Section 2.5 shall not prohibit or restrict in any manner BPC’s right to transfer the ADMA Voting Shares to the Trust in accordance with this Agreement and (y) a market stand-off agreement executed by BPC under this Section 2.5 shall automatically and immediately terminate on the Voting Shares Closing Date provided that the Trust enters into the market stand-off agreement contemplated in Section 2.6 below.

 

 

2.6              Trust Market Stand-Off Agreement. If, during the ROFN Period, ADMA Biologics undertakes an offering of its equity or debt securities, the Trust covenants and agrees to promptly execute and be bound by a market stand-off agreement on the same terms and conditions as the market stand-off agreement entered into by and binding upon ADMA Biologics’ officers and directors in connection with such offering of equity or debt securities and agrees not to sell publicly or otherwise transfer or dispose of any ADMA Voting Shares during the Market Stand-Off Period; provided however, that the Trust will be bound by such market stand-off agreement during the Market Stand-Off Period.
