ITEM 14. INDEMNIFCATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

As permitted by Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors for a breach of their fiduciary duty of care as a director. The duty of care generally requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

  any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
  any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
  any act related to unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions or payment of dividends; or
  any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation also authorizes us to indemnify our officers, directors and other agents to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law.

 

As permitted by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our bylaws provide that:

 

  we may indemnify our directors, officers, and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions;
  we may advance expenses to our directors, officers and employees in connection with a legal proceeding to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, subject to limited exceptions; and
  the rights provided in our bylaws are not exclusive.

 

   
 

 

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, to be attached as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, and our amended and restated bylaws, to be attached as Exhibit 3.4 hereto, provide for the indemnification provisions described above and elsewhere herein. We have entered into and intend to continue to enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. These indemnification agreements generally require us, among other things, to indemnify our officers and directors against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements also generally require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. In addition, we have purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our directors and officers against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances. These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our officers and directors for liabilities, including reimbursement of expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

 

The form of Underwriting Agreement, to be attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, under some circumstances provides for indemnification by the underwriter of us and our officers who sign this Registration Statement and directors for specified liabilities, including matters arising under the Securities Act.

 

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

The following list sets forth information as to all securities we have sold since October 4, 2016, which were not registered under the Securities Act.

 

1. On April 25, 2017, we issued an aggregate of 11,381,999 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock at a price per share of $2.50 for aggregate proceeds to us of $28,455,000.
   
2. On April 25, 2017, we issued a Series A Preferred Stock warrant convertible into an aggregate of 558,740 shares of common stock, upon consummation of this offering, with an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
   
3. We granted stock options to employees and consultants under our 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, covering an aggregate of 2,656,435 shares of common stock, that have an exercise price of $2.50 per share.
   
4. We sold an aggregate of 10,000,000 shares of common stock to our founders, a partner and the underwriter for cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $1,000.00.
   
5. On May 7, 2018, we issued common stock warrants convertible into an aggregate of 2,432,688 shares of common stock, that have an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

 

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sale and issuance of securities in the transactions described in paragraph (1) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving any public offering. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.

 

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraphs (2) and (3) above under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.

Warrant to Purchase

 

Shares of

 

Common Stock

 

As Herein Described

 

May __, 2018

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF

 

PROVENTION BIO, INC.

 

This is to certify that, for value received, MacroGenics, Inc., or a proper assignee (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase up to 270,299 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Provention Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the provisions of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be exercisable at Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50) per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant also is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

 
 

 

1. Exercise and Payment; Exchange.

 

(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) through the close of business on May __, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), at which time this Warrant shall expire and become void, but if such date is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the State of New York are authorized to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. Exercise (“Exercise”) shall be by presentation and surrender to the Company, or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company (the “Transfer Agent”), of (i) this Warrant, (ii) the attached exercise form properly executed, and (iii) a certified or official bank check for the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company or the Transfer Agent shall, upon surrender of the Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the properly executed exercise form, and payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. Under no circumstance shall the Company be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the Holder in lieu of delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash pursuant to Section 2 (a), if the fair market value of one Warrant Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by Exercise of this Warrant, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A – B)  
A  

Where:

 

X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder

 

Y = The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)

 

A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation)

 

B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

 
 

 

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall be determined as set forth in Section 3(a) – (c) below.

 

(b) Conditions to Exercise or Exchange. The restrictions in Section 7 shall apply, to the extent applicable by their terms, to any exercise or exchange of this Warrant permitted by this Section 1.

 

2. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times until the expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon issuance, all Warrant Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

3. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the exercise or exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per share of Common Stock, determined as follows:

 

(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange;

 

(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, the current fair market value shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.; or

 

(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current fair market value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company in good faith.

 

4. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

5. Adjustments in Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares.

 

5.1 The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a) If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

 
 

 

(b) If the Company declares a dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

(c) If the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(d) If the Company offers rights or warrants to the holders of Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(e) If the event, as a result of which an adjustment is made under paragraph (a) or (b) above, does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of shares issuable that were made in accordance with such paragraph (a) or (b) shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such event.

 

5.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity after which the Company is not the surviving entity, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of common stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, appropriately adjusted for any subsequent event described in this Section 5. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

 

 
 

 

5.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

(c) Tax Cooperation. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to avoid or reduce tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of any royalties, License Fees, Event Payments, and other payments made by Provention to MacroGenics under this Agreement. To the extent Provention is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to MacroGenics, Provention shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner, and, as soon as practicable after any payment of taxes by Provention to a Governmental Authority pursuant this Section 6.10(c), Provention shall transmit to MacroGenics an official tax certificate or other evidence of such payment sufficient to enable MacroGenics to claim such payment of taxes. MacroGenics shall provide Provention any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Provention, as permitted by Applicable Law, to not withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty, to the extent MacroGenics is legally able to do so. In addition, MacroGenics shall deliver such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Provention as will enable Provention to determine whether or not MacroGenics is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. MacroGenics shall deliver to Provention on or prior to the date of this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Provention) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that MacroGenics is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Applicable Law, of withholding taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of MacroGenics as the Party bearing such withholding tax under this Section 6.10(c). In addition, the Parties shall cooperate in accordance with Applicable Law to minimize indirect taxes (such as value added tax, sales tax, consumption tax and other similar taxes) in connection with this Agreement.

 

(d) Assignment. If Provention assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or Third Party in compliance with Section 13.3 and if such Affiliate or Third Party shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold any additional taxes from or in respect of any amount payable to MacroGenics under this Agreement solely as a result of such assignment by Provention, then any such amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account the additional taxes withheld as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings, MacroGenics receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such assignment been made. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to any additional taxes withheld for which MacroGenics may obtain a foreign tax credit.

 

 22 
 

 

6.11 Records and Audit Rights. Provention will maintain, and cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to maintain, complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail to enable verification of the correctness of the payments due hereunder. MacroGenics may audit Provention’s and its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ relevant books and records in order to verify the aforesaid matters. Upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, MacroGenics’ independent public accountants, subject to confidentiality obligations consistent with Article 8, shall have access to such books and records in order to conduct such a review or audit. The Parties shall reconcile any underpayment within sixty (60) days after the accountant delivers the results of the audit. If any audit performed under this Section 6.11 reveals an underpayment in excess of [****] percent ([****]%) in any Calendar Year, Provention shall reimburse MacroGenics for all amounts incurred in connection with such audit. MacroGenics may exercise its rights under this Section 6.11 only once every year per audited entity and only with reasonable prior notice to the audited entity. This Section 6.11 shall survive expiration or termination for a period of one (1) year.

Each Party shall own any Inventions made solely by its (or its Affiliates’) own employees, agents, or independent contractors in the course of conducting its activities under this Agreement, together with all intellectual property rights therein (“Sole Inventions”). The Parties shall jointly own any Inventions for which the inventors include at least one employee, agent, or independent contractor of each Party (or its respective Affiliates) in the course of performing activities under this Agreement, together with all intellectual property rights therein (“Joint Inventions”); provided that, any Inventions that are not Covered by a Product Claim and are improvements to the DART Platform or Platform Patents (such Inventions, “MacroGenics Platform Inventions”) shall be treated as MacroGenics’ Sole Inventions and shall not constitute “Joint Inventions” or Provention’s “Sole Inventions” for purposes of this Agreement but shall be deemed included in the license granted to Provention pursuant to Section 2.1(ii) and any Inventions that are Covered by a Product Claim shall be deemed included in the license granted to Provention pursuant to Section 2.1(i); provided further, Provention hereby assigns, and agrees to assign to MacroGenics, all of its and Provention Group’s right, title and interest in MacroGenics Platform Inventions, together with all intellectual property rights in the foregoing. Inventorship shall be determined in accordance with U.S. patent laws. Subject to any licenses granted under this Agreement, each Party will have the right to practice and Exploit any Joint Inventions without the duty of accounting to any other Party or seeking consent (for licensing, assigning or otherwise exploiting Joint Inventions) from the other Party by reason of the joint ownership thereof; and each Party hereby waives any right such Party may have under the laws of any jurisdiction to require any such approval or accounting and, to the extent there are any Applicable Laws that prohibit such a waiver, each Party will be deemed to have so consented. In furtherance thereof, at the reasonable written request of a Party, the other Party will in writing grant such consents and confirm that no such accounting is required to effect the foregoing regarding Joint Inventions.

 

7.2 Disclosure of Inventions. Provention shall promptly disclose to MacroGenics any Invention that relates to the Compound or Products or DART® Molecules and/or the Manufacture of DART® Molecules generally. With respect to any Joint Invention, each Party shall promptly disclose to the other Party any invention disclosures, or other similar documents, submitted to it by its employees, agents or independent contractors describing the Joint Invention, and all Information relating to such Invention to the extent necessary for the use of such Invention in the Development or Commercialization of the Compound or the Products in the Field and, to the extent patentable, for the preparation, filing and maintenance of any Patent with respect to such Invention.

7.3 Prosecution of Patents.

 

(a) MacroGenics Patents. As between the Parties, MacroGenics shall have the sole right and authority, to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the MacroGenics Patents on a worldwide basis; provided that Provention shall have the right to direct MacroGenics to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain MacroGenics Patents in specified countries and/or regions at Provention’s expense, MacroGenics shall, during the Agreement Term, (i) keep Provention reasonably informed of the status of the MacroGenics Patents and provide Provention with copies of material communications from any patent authority in the Territory in connection therewith; (ii) provide Provention with drafts of all proposed material filings and correspondences to any patent authorities with respect to the MacroGenics Product Patents having at least one independent Product Claim for Provention’s review and comment prior to the submission of such proposed filings and correspondences. MacroGenics shall reasonably consider in good faith Provention’s comments prior to submitting such filings and correspondences and shall not unreasonably disregard any such comments. If MacroGenics determines in its discretion to abandon or not maintain any MacroGenics Patent(s) which Covers the Compound or Product in any country(ies) of the world, then MacroGenics shall provide Provention with written notice of such determination within such period of time reasonably necessary to allow Provention to request that MacroGenics continue to maintain and/or prosecute of such MacroGenics Patent (which notice from MacroGenics shall be given no later than thirty (30) days prior to any final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such MacroGenics Patent(s) with the applicable patent authority). Upon receipt of any such request, MacroGenics shall continue to prosecute and maintain such MacroGenics Patent(s) in such country(ies) at Provention’s expense; provided, however, that MacroGenics shall not be required to continue to prosecute or maintain any such MacroGenics Patent(s) if, instead of prosecuting such patent application, MacroGenics instead files a divisional, continuation or continuation-in-part of such patent application to be prosecuted by MacroGenics, which divisional, continuation or continuation-in-part Covers the same or greater scope for the Compound or relevant Product as the MacroGenics Patent(s) proposed to be abandoned. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3(a), unless consented to by Provention in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or denied), MacroGenics shall prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the MacroGenics Patents that Cover the Compound or Product in the Major Markets at its sole expense throughout the Term.

 

(b) Provention Patents. Provention shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Provention Patents on a worldwide basis at its sole expense.

 

(c) Joint Patents. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.3(c), Provention shall have the primary right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Patent Rights included in the Joint Inventions (“Joint Patents”) on a worldwide basis at its own expense. Provention shall provide MacroGenics with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on its efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain Joint Patents, including by providing MacroGenics with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding any Joint Patent, and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Provention shall consider MacroGenics’ comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith and shall not unreasonably disregard any such comments. If Provention determines in its discretion to abandon or not maintain any Joint Patent(s) in any country(ies) of the world, then Provention shall provide MacroGenics with written notice of such determination within such period of time reasonably necessary to allow MacroGenics to determine its interest in such Joint Patent(s) (which notice from Provention shall be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to any final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such Joint Patent(s) with the applicable patent authority). If MacroGenics provides written notice expressing its interest in obtaining such Joint Patent(s), Provention shall, free of charge, assign and transfer to MacroGenics the ownership of, and interest in, such Joint Patent(s) in such country(ies), at MacroGenics’ own expense, and Provention shall cooperate with MacroGenics for assignment and transfer of such Joint Patent(s) in such country. Thereafter, all such assigned and transferred Patents will be deemed MacroGenics Platform Patents and MacroGenics shall have the sole right to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain such Patent Rights as set forth in Section 7.3(a).

 

 24 
 

 

(d) Cooperation in Prosecution. Each Party shall provide the other Party all reasonable assistance and cooperation in the Patent prosecution efforts provided above in this Section 7.3, including providing any necessary powers of attorney and executing any other required documents or instruments for such prosecution, as well as further actions as set forth below. Such assistance and cooperation shall include making a Party’s inventors and other scientific advisors reasonably available to assist the other Party’s prosecution efforts.

 

(i) The Parties shall respectively prepare, file, maintain and prosecute the MacroGenics Patents, the Provention Patents and the Joint Patents as set forth in this Section 7.3. As used herein, “prosecution” of such Patents shall include all communication and other interaction with any patent office or patent authority having jurisdiction over a patent application in connection with pre-grant proceedings.

 

(ii) All communications between the Parties relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of the MacroGenics Patents, the Provention Patents and the Joint Patents, including copies of any draft or final documents or any communications received from or sent to patent offices or patenting authorities with respect to such Patents, shall be considered Confidential Information of the Party Controlling the relevant Patent and subject to the confidentiality provisions of Article 8.

 

7.4 Patent Term Extensions in the Territory. Provention, in consultation with MacroGenics, shall decide for which, if any, of MacroGenics Product Patents, Joint Patents and Provention Patents the Parties should seek patent term extensions, supplemental protection certificates or their equivalents (each, a “Patent Extension” and collectively, “Patent Extensions”) in the Territory. MacroGenics, in the case of a MacroGenics Product Patent, and Provention, in the case of a Provention Patent or Joint Patent, shall act with reasonable promptness in light of the developmental stage of the Products to apply for any such Patent Extension. In the event that the opportunity to seek a patent extension, supplemental protection certificate or an equivalent becomes available for a Product in the Territory based on a MacroGenics Platform Patent (“Platform Patent Extension”), MacroGenics shall have the sole right to seek such Platform Patent Extension if there are no other Patent Rights for which a Patent Extension could reasonably be sought. In the event that Provention does not intend to seek Patent Extensions for any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent, it shall so inform MacroGenics in writing in sufficient time to permit MacroGenics to seek a Patent Extension on any such MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent. The Party that does not apply for a Patent Extension hereunder will cooperate fully with the other Party in making such filings or actions, including making available all required regulatory data and Information and executing any required authorizations, to enable the other Party to apply for such Patent Term Extension. All expenses incurred in connection with activities of each Party with respect to the Patent Right(s) for which such Party seeks Patent Extension pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be entirely borne by such Party.

 

 25 
 

 

7.5 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

 

(a) Notification. Each Party shall promptly notify the other Party in writing of any existing, alleged or threatened infringement of any MacroGenics Patent, Joint Patent or Provention Patent of which it becomes aware, and shall provide all Information in such Party’s possession or control demonstrating such infringement.

 

(b) Infringement of MacroGenics Product Patents or Joint Patents.

 

(i) Provention, subject to Section 7.5(b)(ii) through Section 7.5(b)(vii) and the rights of any Third Party licensor of MacroGenics Product Patents, shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Third Party engaged in any existing, alleged or threatened infringement of any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent that has claims that solely and specifically Cover the Exploitation of the Compound or Products.

 

(ii) Provention shall notify MacroGenics of its election to take any action in accordance with Section 7.5(b)(i) within the earlier of: (A) ninety (90) days after the first notice under Section 7.5(a); or (B) fifteen (15) days before any time limit set forth in Applicable Law or regulation, including the time limits set forth under the Hatch-Waxman Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Provention shall not initiate any such suit or take such other action with respect to any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent without first consulting with MacroGenics and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from MacroGenics regarding Provention’s proposed course of action and shall enforce the MacroGenics Product Patent Rights consistent with MacroGenics’ obligations and rights under any Third Party Licenses. MacroGenics shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit under this Section 7.5 as may be reasonably requested by Provention. In the event that Provention elects not to initiate a lawsuit or take other reasonable action with respect to an infringement described in Section 7.5(b)(i), MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to initiate such suit or take such other action, after providing thirty (30) days (or five (5) days in the event there is a time limit) notice to Provention and giving good faith consideration to Provention’s reason(s) for not initiating a suit or taking other action.

 

(iii) If one Party elects to bring suit or take action under this Section 7.5(b) against an infringement, then the other Party shall have the right, prior to commencement of the suit or action, to join any such suit or action.

 

(iv) Each Party shall provide to the Party enforcing any such rights under this Section 7.5(b) reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such enforcing Party’s request and expense, including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by Applicable Law to pursue such action. The enforcing Party shall keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, shall reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts, and shall consult the other Party in any important aspects of such enforcement, including determination of material litigation strategy and filing of important papers to the competent court.

 

(v) Each Party shall bear all of its own internal costs incurred in connection with its activities under this Section 7.5(b).

 

(vi) The Party not bringing an action with respect to infringement in the Territory under this Section 7.5(b) shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action.

 

(vii) Neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 7.5 involving MacroGenics Product Patents or Joint Patents without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

 26 
 

 

(c) Infringement of Provention Patents. For any and all infringement of any Provention Patent, Provention shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Provention’s expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of the Provention Patent.

 

(d) Infringement of Other MacroGenics Patents. For any and all infringement of any MacroGenics Patent other than a MacroGenics Product Patent (a “Platform Patent”), MacroGenics shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at MacroGenics’ expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of such MacroGenics Patent; provided that if a Platform Patent is reasonably likely to have the effect of blocking Biosimilar Competition, MacroGenics shall have the obligation, at Provention’s reasonable request, to bring a claim or suit against any person or entity engaged or alleged to be engaged in infringement of the subject Platform Patent.

 

(e) Allocation of Proceeds. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Section 7.5(b) or Section 7.7(a) or any royalties, milestones or other payments from a license agreement with a Third Party related to any alleged infringement related to a Product, whether such damages or royalties result from the infringement of MacroGenics Product Patents or Joint Patents, such recovery (“Infringement Recovery”) shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, action or license negotiations, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated as follows:

 

(i) with respect to suits or actions brought by Provention, if the recovery award is based on reasonable royalty payments, such remaining amount shall be deemed Qualified Consideration if the award is based on lost profits, MacroGenics shall receive an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable, pursuant to Section 6.3 on the corresponding amount (as determined by the court) of Net Sales represented by such loss profits of the relevant Product(s); and

 

(ii) with respect to all suits or actions brought by MacroGenics, the recovery shall be retained by MacroGenics.

 

7.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Territory.

 

(a) Notice. If any Product used or sold by either Party, its Affiliates, or sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party.

 

(b) Defense. Provention shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend against any such Third Party claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right as described in Section 7.6(a) above, at Provention’s expense. If Provention does not commence actions to defend such claim within thirty (30) days after it receives notice thereof (or within thirty (30) days after it should have given notice thereof to MacroGenics as required by Section 7.6(a)), then to the extent allowed by Applicable Law, MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such claim by counsel of its choice, at MacroGenics’ expense. The non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim or assertion, including if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney.

 

 27 
 

 

(c) Settlement; Licenses. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 7.6 that affects the other Party’s rights or interests without such other Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each Party shall have the right to decline to defend or to tender defense of any claim described in this Section 7.6 upon reasonable notice to the other Party, including if the other Party fails to agree to a settlement that the declining Party proposes. In the event that it is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction that any Exploitation of a Product, conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, infringes, or Provention determines reasonably and in good faith that such activities are likely to infringe, any Patent Right, copyright, trademark, data exclusivity right or trade secret right arising under Applicable Law of any Third Party, Provention shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, at its expense: (i) procure a license from such Third Party authorizing Provention to continue to conduct such activity (in which case the royalties payable thereunder may be deducted from royalties otherwise due to MacroGenics hereunder to the extent permitted by Sections 6.4(b) and 6.5 hereof); or (ii) modify such activity so as to render it non-infringing. In the event that Provention decides that neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available or commercially feasible, Provention may, at its discretion, terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.2.

 

7.7 Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

 

(a) Third-Party Patent Rights. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent Right owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover the Compound or Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of the Compound or Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 7.6, in which case the provisions of Section 7.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Provention shall have the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory. If Provention does not bring such an action in the Territory, within ninety (90) days of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 7.7(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at MacroGenics’ own expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 7.7(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the initiating Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 7.5(e).

 

(b) Parties’ Patent Rights. If any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (a “Third Party Patent Challenge”) (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 7.6, in which case the provisions of Section 7.6 shall govern), then the Party responsible for filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent as set forth in Section 7.3 hereof, shall control such defense at its own expense. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third Party action shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 7.5(e). MacroGenics shall have the sole discretion whether to defend and shall solely control any defense of a Platform Patent which is the subject of a Third Party Patent Challenge; provided that MacroGenics shall keep Provention reasonably informed regarding such enforcement and shall consider Provention’s comments regarding such enforcement in good faith.

ARTICLE 8
CONFIDENTIALITY; PUBLICATION

 

8.1 Non-Use and Non-Disclosure. During the Agreement Term and for seven (7) years thereafter, a Receiving Party shall (and shall require its Affiliates to): (a) maintain in confidence all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party using not less than the efforts such Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary Information of similar kind and value, (b) take all reasonable precautions not to disclose such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to Third Parties, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, except for disclosures expressly permitted below and (c) not use such Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any other purpose other than for fulfilling its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to any trade secret within such Confidential Information shall survive such seven (7) year period for so long as such Confidential Information remains protected as a trade secret under Applicable Law.

 

8.2 Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding the obligation of non-use and non-disclosure set forth in Section 8.1, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary in the following instances:

 

(a) filing, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing or defending Patents as permitted by this Agreement;

 

(b) as reasonably required in generating Regulatory Documentation and obtaining Regulatory Approvals;

 

(c) prosecuting or defending litigation, including responding to a subpoena in a Third Party litigation;

 

(d) complying with Applicable Law or court or administrative orders;

 

(e) complying with any obligation under this Agreement;

 

(f) in communications with existing or bona fide prospective acquirers, merger partners, financing sources, investment bankers, lenders or investors, and consultants and advisors of the Receiving Party in connection with transactions or bona fide prospective transactions with the foregoing, in each case on a “need-to-know” basis and under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those of this Agreement; provided however, that the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any violation of such confidentiality provisions by any Third Party receiving such Confidential Information; or

 

 29 
 

 

(g) to its Affiliates, sublicensees or prospective sublicensees, subcontractors or prospective subcontractors, consultants, agents advisors and other Third Parties on a “need-to-know” basis in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use of such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article 8; provided however, that, in each of the above situations, the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any person or entity who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 8.2(g) to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 8.

 

If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 8.2, such disclosure shall not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to (i) Sections 8.2(b), 8.2(c) or 8.2(d), it will, except where impracticable or not legally permitted, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and (ii) Sections 8.2(a) through 8.2(e), it will use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure.

 

8.3 Publicity.

 

(a) Attached as Exhibit G is a copy of the press release to be issued by Provention in connection with this Agreement. Except as set forth in the previous sentence or as required to comply with Applicable Law or as set forth in Section 8.3(b), each Party agrees not to issue any other press release or other public statement disclosing other information relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

(b) The Parties acknowledge the importance of supporting each other’s efforts to publicly disclose results and significant developments regarding the Compound and Products and other activities in connection with this Agreement that may include information that is not otherwise permitted to be disclosed under this Article 8, and that may be beyond what is required by Applicable Law, but in each case consistent with the need to keep investors informed regarding such Party’s business in accordance with customary investor relations, and each Party may request the right to make such disclosures from time to time. Such disclosures may include achievement of milestones, significant events in the Development and regulatory process, Commercialization activities and the like. Except for the initial press release(s) described in Section 8.3(a), whenever a Party (the “Requesting Party”) elects to make any such public disclosure, it shall first notify the other Party (the “Cooperating Party”) of such planned press release or public announcement and provide a draft for review at least three (3) Business Days in advance of issuing such press release or making such public announcement (or, with respect to press releases and public announcements that are required by Applicable Law, or by regulation or rule of any public stock exchange (including NASDAQ), with as much advance notice as reasonably practicable under the circumstances if it is not possible to provide notice at least three (3) Business Days in advance). The Requesting Party and Cooperating Party will discuss such proposed public disclosure in good faith. Unless otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 8.4 or required by Applicable Law, or by regulation or rule of any public stock exchange (including NASDAQ), the Requesting Party will not issue such press release or make such public announcement without the prior written consent of the Cooperating Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that a Party may issue such press release or make such public announcement if: (i) the contents of such press release or public announcement have previously been made public other than through a breach of this Agreement by the Requesting Party, (ii) such press release or public announcement does not materially differ from the previously issued press release or other publicly available information, and (iii) the Requesting Party notifies the Cooperating Party reasonably in advance of issuance. The principles to be observed in such disclosures shall include accuracy, compliance with Applicable Law and regulatory guidance documents, reasonable sensitivity to potential negative reactions of the FDA (and its foreign counterparts), the need to protect competitively sensitive information regarding the Compound and Products and the need to keep investors informed regarding the Requesting Party’s business.

 

 30 
 

 

8.4 Securities Filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8, in the event either Party seeks to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction a registration statement or any other disclosure document that describes or refers to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related agreements between the Parties, or requires the filing of this Agreement as an exhibit to such registration, statement or disclosure document, such Party shall, to the extent practicable, notify the other Party of such intention and shall provide the other Party with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing within a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof such that the other Party shall have the opportunity to comment on such filing (which comments the filing Party shall reasonably consider in good faith); provided that, no notice or comment period shall be required under this Section 8.4 if the description of or reference to this Agreement or any related agreement between the Parties contained in the proposed filing has been included in any previous filing made by either Party in accordance with this Section 8.4 or otherwise approved by the other Party. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be required by securities regulators, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or advised by such other Party’s outside counsel that the financial terms, including the milestone amounts and/or royalty rates must be included in such filings.

 

8.5 Relationship to Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement between MacroGenics and Provention, effective as of August 8, 2017 (the “Prior CDA”); provided however, that all “Confidential Information” disclosed or received by the Parties and their Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

8.6 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 8. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 8.

 

8.7 Publications. Provention shall have the sole right to publish results of all Clinical Studies conducted with respect to the Compound or a Product; provided however, MacroGenics as the non-publishing Party (the “Reviewing Party”) shall have the right to review all proposed publications of Provention (the “Publishing Party”) prior to submission of each publication, for the purposes reviewing and commenting on the subject matter of such publication and of identifying any relevant intellectual property or Confidential Information of the Reviewing Party. Publishing Party shall provide Reviewing Party with a copy of the applicable proposed abstract, manuscript, or presentation no less than thirty (30) days (fifteen (15) days in the case of abstracts) prior to its intended submission for publication. Reviewing Party shall respond in writing promptly and in no event later than thirty (30) days (fifteen (15) days in the case of abstracts) after receipt of the proposed material with any comments or concerns regarding the scientific integrity or other aspects of the subject matter of the proposed publication and any concerns regarding patentability or protection of Reviewing Party’s Confidential Information. The Publishing Party will consider any comments and concerns expressed by the Reviewing Party regarding the subject matter of a proposed publication in good faith. In the event of concern over patent protection, Publishing Party agrees not to submit such publication or to make such presentation that contains such information until Reviewing Party is given a reasonable period of time, and in no event less than thirty (30) days, to seek patent protection for any material in such publication or presentation which it believes is patentable, unless Publishing Party reasonably determines that publication of such information is required by Applicable Law. Subject to Section 8.2, any Confidential Information of Reviewing Party shall, if requested by Reviewing Party, be removed by Publishing Party from such publication or presentation.

 

 31 
 

 

8.8 Attorney-Client Privilege. Neither Party is waiving, nor shall be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges or the like as a result of disclosing information pursuant to this Agreement, or any of its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the Receiving Party, regardless of whether the Disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The Parties: (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in such disclosure that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in proceedings to which the information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either Party become subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Effective Date both the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party shall have the right to assert such protections and privileges.

(f) There are no claims or investigations, pending or, to the knowledge of the representing Party, threatened against the representing Party or any of its Affiliates, at law or in equity, or before or by any Governmental Authority relating to the matters contemplated under this Agreement or that would materially adversely affect such representing Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder;

 

(g) Neither such representing Party, nor any of its Affiliates, or its or their employees, officers, subcontractors or consultants who have rendered or shall render services relating to the Compound or Product (i) has ever been debarred or is subject to debarment or convicted of a crime for which an entity or person could be debarred under 21 U.S.C. Section 335a or (ii) has ever been under indictment for a crime for which a person or entity could be debarred under said Section 335a; and

9.2 Additional Representations and Warranties of MacroGenics. MacroGenics represents and warrants as of the Effective Date that:

 

(a) MacroGenics is the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in, or is a licensee of, the MacroGenics Technology.

 

(b) MacroGenics is entitled to grant the rights and licenses granted to Provention under this Agreement, and is not currently bound by any agreement with any Third Party, or by any outstanding order, judgment, or decree of any court or administrative agency, that restricts it from granting to Provention the rights and licenses as set forth in this Agreement.

 

(c) MacroGenics has complied in all respects with and is not in breach, violation or noncompliance of any Applicable Laws with respect to its ownership, use, or Manufacture of the Product.

 

(d) MacroGenics has made timely payment of any filing, registration, examination, maintenance and renewal fees due with respect to the MacroGenics Patents, except where the failure to do so does not have a material adverse effect with respect to the applicable MacroGenics Patents.

 

(e) To the knowledge of MacroGenics, the Exploitation of the Compound or the Products in the manner contemplated by this Agreement in the Field in the Territory as of the Effective Date does not infringe any Valid Claim of a Third Party. To the knowledge of MacroGenics, no Third Party is infringing any MacroGenics Patents in the Territory. MacroGenics has not received any written notice from any Third Party asserting that any of the MacroGenics Patents in the Territory are invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed. MacroGenics has not provided any Third Party written notice that such Third Party infringes or has infringed the MacroGenics Patents or misappropriated or used, without authorization, the MacroGenics Know-How.

 33 
 

 

(f) Each of the Third Party Licenses identified on Exhibit D remains in full force and effect and (i) MacroGenics and, (ii) to MacroGenics’ knowledge, each counterparty to such Third Party Licenses, are each in compliance in all material respects with the terms of the applicable Third Party Licenses (including any applicable diligence requirements), and all necessary consents, approvals, and authorizations under such Third Party Licenses required to be obtained by MacroGenics in order to enter into this Agreement have been obtained. MacroGenics shall comply in all material respects with its obligations under each Third Party License identified on Exhibit D, shall not terminate or waive any breach of any such Third Party License in a manner that would undermine Provention’s ability to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement and, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in the termination, or material limitation, restriction or adverse change, in the rights granted to Provention by the terms of this Agreement, MacroGenics shall at all times enforce all of its rights under such Third Party Licenses.

 

(g) Schedule 9.2(g) lists all licenses, sublicenses and other agreements to which MacroGenics or any of its Affiliates is a party and pursuant to which any Third Party grants to MacroGenics or any of its Affiliates (i) any license or other right to Exploit the Compound or the Products, (ii) any covenant not to assert/sue or other immunity from suit under any intellectual property rights Covering the Compound or the Product, (iii) any ownership right or title, whether actual or contingent, to any intellectual property rights Covering the Compound or Product, or (iv) an option or right of first refusal relating to any intellectual property rights Covering the Exploitation of the Compound or Products, in each case, excluding any grant to MacroGenics or any of its Affiliates with respect to intellectual property rights Covering the DART Platform and not specifically Covering the Compound or Product (collectively, “Inbound Licenses”). Schedule 9.2(g) also identifies all Inbound Licenses requiring MacroGenics or any of its Affiliates to license, assign or otherwise grant rights to any Third Party for any additions, modifications or improvements made by or for MacroGenics or its Affiliates to any MacroGenics Product Patents Covering the Compound or Product. MacroGenics has delivered or otherwise made available to Provention copies of all Inbound Licenses, and MacroGenics or its Affiliate, as applicable, is in compliance with (and, to the knowledge of MacroGenics, each other party to such Inbound Licenses are in compliance with) all material terms and conditions of all Inbound Licenses. Except as set forth on Schedule 9.2(g), neither MacroGenics nor any of its Affiliates is a party to (A) any license, sublicense or other agreement to which and pursuant to which any Third Party is granted any license or other right to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import or otherwise distribute or Exploit the Compound or the Products, (B) any covenant not to assert/sue or other immunity from suit under or any other rights to, any MacroGenics Product Patents, (C) any ownership right or title, whether actual or contingent, to any MacroGenics Product Patents, or (D) an option or right of first refusal relating to any MacroGenics Product Patents.

 

(h) MacroGenics has taken reasonable and customary measures and precautions necessary to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the MacroGenics Know-How. During the last three (3) years, neither MacroGenics nor its Affiliate has received any written communication alleging any violation of Applicable Laws pertaining to the privacy and security of protected health information within any clinical data or regulatory materials related to the Compound or the Products.

 

(i) MacroGenics has materially complied with all Applicable Laws in its Exploitation of the Compound and Product.

 

 34 
 

 

(j) The Transferred Materials have been manufactured in compliance with all Applicable Laws including cGMP and have met all applicable specifications, except as would not materially adversely affect Provention’s ability to Exploit the Product. Neither MacroGenics nor any Third Party has received any written notices or correspondence from the FDA or any other Government Authority regarding the Transferred Materials.

 

(k) MacroGenics is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), as amended. MacroGenics has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in securities in companies similar to Provention so that MacroGenics is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of MacroGenics’s investment in Provention (pursuant to the Warrant) and has the capacity to protect MacroGenics’s own interests. MacroGenics is acquiring the Warrant (and the shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant) for investment for MacroGenics’ own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. MacroGenics understands that the Warrant (and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant) have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of MacroGenics’ representations as expressed herein and in the Warrant.

 

9.3 Provention Stock Representation and Warranty. Provention represents and warrants to MacroGenics that: The authorized capital stock of Provention consists of (i) 50,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Provention Common Stock”), 10,000,000 of which are issued and outstanding and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value, of which 13,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A Preferred Stock (“Provention Series A Preferred Stock”), of which 11,381,999 shares of Provention Series A Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding. Provention has reserved 3,869,424 shares of Provention Common Stock for issuance to officers, directors, employees and consultants of Provention pursuant to its 2017 Equity Incentive Plan duly adopted by the board of directors of Provention and approved by the stockholders of Provention, of which 2,656,435 have been issued to employees and consultants of Provention. Provention has reserved 558,740 shares of Provention Series A Preferred Stock for issuance pursuant to that certain Warrant, dated as of April 25, 2017, in favor of MDB Capital Group, LLC. There are no bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness having general voting rights (or convertible into securities having such rights) (“Voting Debt”) of Provention issued and outstanding. Except as set forth above, there are no options, warrants, calls, subscriptions or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any kind relating to the issued or unissued capital stock of Provention, obligating Provention to issue, transfer or sell or cause to be issued, transferred or sold any shares of capital stock or Voting Debt of, or other equity interest in, Provention or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such shares or equity interests, or obligating Provention to grant, extend or enter into any such option, warrant, call, subscription or other right, agreement, arrangement or commitment.

 

9.4 Certain Compliance Matters.

 

(a) Each Party will materially comply with all Applicable Laws with respect to its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Party shall be required to undertake any activity or obligation under this Agreement which such Party has reason to believe may violate any Applicable Laws; provided however, that a Party which so believes shall promptly inform the other Party of such belief.

 

(b) Neither Party nor its Affiliates will make any payment, either directly or indirectly, of money or other assets, including the compensation such Party derives from this Agreement (collectively, a “Payment”), to government or political party officials, officials of International Public Organizations, candidates for public office, or representatives of other businesses or persons acting on behalf of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Officials”) or other individuals where such Payment would constitute violation of any Applicable Law, including the FCPA and the UKBA. In addition, regardless of legality, neither Party nor its Affiliates will make any Payment either directly or indirectly to Officials or other individuals if such Payment is for the purpose of improperly influencing decisions or actions to secure a business advantage, including with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party shall have necessary procedures in place to prevent bribery and corrupt conduct by itself and each of its Affiliates and subcontractors. All activities will be conducted in compliance with the FCA and the AKA.

 

 35 
 

 

9.5 No Other Representations or Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 9, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE, AND EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT OR AS TO THE VALIDITY OF ANY PATENT RIGHTS.

 

ARTICLE 10
TERM AND TERMINATION

 

10.1 Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Article 10, shall continue in full force and effect until the date of expiration of all payment obligations under this Agreement (the “Agreement Term”).

 

10.2 Unilateral Termination by Provention. Provention shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time after the Effective Date, for any or no reason, as follows: (a) if such termination is effective prior to the First Commercial Sale of a Product anywhere in the Territory, upon providing ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to MacroGenics; and (b) if such termination is effective after the First Commercial Sale of a Product anywhere in the Territory, upon providing one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to MacroGenics (each, a “Voluntary Termination”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Provention provides notice of termination pursuant to subsections (a) or (b), MacroGenics may, in its sole discretion, reduce the ninety (90) day or one hundred eighty (180) day notice period, respectively, by written notice to Provention.

 

10.3 Termination for Material Breach. Either Party (the “Terminating Party”) may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or on a country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, in the event the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement, and such material breach has not been cured within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice of such breach by the Breaching Party from the Terminating Party (the “Cure Period”). The written notice describing the alleged material breach shall provide sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.3 shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period; provided that in the event a claim of material breach is being contested diligently and in good faith by appropriate proceedings hereunder, any termination pursuant to this Section shall not become effective unless and until such material breach has been established in such proceedings and, in the event that, following such establishment, a cure may then be accomplished by the payment of money or the taking of certain actions, such payment or actions are not paid or taken within sixty (60) days of the conclusion of such proceedings. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 10.3 shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach under this Agreement.

 

 36 
 

 

10.4 MacroGenics may terminate this Agreement with respect to the Compound or a Product (or this Agreement in its entirety if such Compound or Product is the only Compound or Product for which this Agreement is applicable), if Provention directly or indirectly disputes, or assists any Third Party to dispute, the validity of any granted Patent within the MacroGenics Patents in a litigation or other court proceeding with respect to such Compound or Product; provided however, MacroGenics acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 10.4 prevents Provention from taking any of the actions referred to in this Section 10.4.

 

10.5 Termination for Bankruptcy.

 

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above (each, an “Insolvency Event”), and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than ninety (90) days.

 

(b) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the licenses granted pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.2, are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the U.S. Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the U.S. (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws”), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Agreement Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided pursuant to such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee) shall perform all of the obligations in this Agreement intended to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Agreement Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, and the non-bankrupt Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the non-bankrupt Party copies of all Patent Rights and Information necessary for the non-bankrupt Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to the Parties under this Section 10.5 are essential to the Parties’ respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy.

 

10.6 Effects of Termination. All of the following effects of termination are in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to either of the Parties under this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit any such rights or remedies. In the event this Agreement is terminated (which, for clarity, will not include an expiration), then:

 

(a) Without limiting the effect that such termination shall have on any provisions of this Agreement, other than those provisions that this Agreement expressly provides shall survive such termination, all rights and licenses granted herein to Provention shall terminate, and Provention shall cease any and all Development, Manufacturing, and Commercialization activities with respect to the Products as soon as is reasonably practicable under Applicable Law; provided that with respect to any Clinical Study being conducted by Provention or its Affiliates as of the date the Agreement termination notice is delivered, Provention shall, as directed by MacroGenics and at Provention’s cost and expense, either (i) wind-down such Clinical Study and, as required for patient safety or applicable Law, complete such Clinical Study only with respect to those study subjects enrolled at the date of termination and otherwise cease enrollment and all other activities with respect to such Clinical Study and for the purpose of such wind-down activities, and at MacroGenics’ option, the termination notice period may be extended by an additional ninety (90) days; or (ii) cooperate with MacroGenics to facilitate the orderly transfer of the conduct of such Clinical Trial to MacroGenics as soon as reasonably practicable after the effective date of termination;

 

 37 
 

 

(b) All payment obligations hereunder shall terminate, other than those that are accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such termination or otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 10.6(a);

 

(c) MacroGenics shall thereafter have all rights and materials previously licensed to Provention hereunder to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize the Products at MacroGenics’ discretion;

 

(d) Unless this Agreement is terminated by Provention pursuant to Section 10.3 or 10.5, Provention hereby grants to MacroGenics, effective as of the effective date of such termination, a limited, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicensable license in the Field in the Territory, under the Provention Technology created or acquired during the Agreement Term and Provention’s interest in Joint Inventions and Joint Patents, solely to Exploit the Compound and Products;

 

(e) Unless this Agreement is terminated by Provention pursuant to Section 10.3 or 10.5, at MacroGenics’ written request, Provention shall grant to MacroGenics, effective as of the date of such request, a limited, exclusive, transferable royalty bearing license to use any trademarks owned or Controlled by Provention which are directly related to the Commercialization of Products in the Territory (excluding any Provention house marks);

 

(f) Unless this Agreement is terminated by Provention pursuant to Section 10.3 or 10.5, at MacroGenics’ written request, Provention shall transfer to MacroGenics, or at MacroGenics direction, destroy (and certify such destruction in writing) (i) all materials, documents and know-how licensed and/or provided to Provention by MacroGenics pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) any inventory of any Product on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing. Provention shall reimburse MacroGenics for any costs MacroGenics incurs in connection with any such transfer;

 

(g) Unless this Agreement is terminated by Provention pursuant to Section 10.3 or 10.5, at MacroGenics’ written request, Provention shall transfer to MacroGenics any and all Regulatory Documentation directly related to any Products and, upon MacroGenics’ request, shall make available to MacroGenics any other relevant Information reasonably related to such Regulatory Documentation and provide a right of reference to applicable Regulatory Documentation to the extent necessary for MacroGenics or its licensees to Develop and Commercialize Products; and

 

(h) The step-in rights granted to MacroGenics with respect to Joint Patents under Sections 7.3(d), 7.5(b) and 7.7(b) shall remain in effect, and MacroGenics shall have to the right to enforce the Provention Patents, solely to the extent a license is granted under this Section 10.6, against Third Party infringers.

 

 38 
 

 

10.7 Remedies. Except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Agreement, termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties of any liability or obligation which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or expiration, nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. Each Party shall be free, pursuant to Article 11, to seek, without restriction as to the number of times it may seek, damages, costs and remedies that may be available to it under Applicable Law or in equity and shall be entitled to offset the amount of any damages and costs obtained against the other Party in a final determination under Section 11.3, against any amounts otherwise due to such other Party under this Agreement.

 

10.8 Survival. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, in addition to the provisions of this Agreement that continue in effect in accordance with their terms, the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive: 6.1, 6.7 – 6.10 (solely with respect to payment obligations that have accrued at the time of termination), 6.11, 7.1, 7.2, 8, 9.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 11, 12 and 13 and any other provisions of this Agreement that are necessary to interpret or effectuate the intent of the foregoing provisions. With respect to an expiration of the Agreement, all licenses granted to Provention hereunder shall continue in perpetuity.

 

ARTICLE 11
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

11.1 Exclusive Dispute Resolution Mechanism. The Parties agree that the procedures set forth in this Article 11 shall be the exclusive mechanism for resolving any Dispute between the Parties that may arise from time to time that is not resolved through good faith negotiation between the Parties.

 

11.2 Resolution by Executive Officers. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 11, in the event of any Dispute regarding the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party hereunder, the Parties shall first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that such Dispute is not resolved on such basis within fifteen (15) Business Days (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties), either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, refer the Dispute to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution by good faith negotiation within thirty (30) Business Days after such notice is received (unless otherwise agreed by the Parties). Each Party may, in its discretion, seek resolution of any and all Disputes that are not resolved under this Section 11.2 in accordance with Section 11.3.

 

11.3 Disputes.

 

(a) JAMS. Any unresolved Dispute which was subject to Section 11.2 shall be resolved by arbitration administered by JAMS (the Administrator) in accordance with its then-effective International Arbitration Rules (the Rules), except to the extent any such Rule conflicts with the express provisions of this Section 11.3. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings provided in the Rules. The Arbitration shall be conducted by one neutral arbitrator selected in accordance with the Rules, provided that such individual shall not be a current or former employee or director, or a current stockholder, of either Party or any of their respective Affiliates (or any licensee or sublicensee of the rights granted to such Party under this Agreement). The arbitration and all associated discovery proceedings and communications shall be conducted in English, and the arbitration shall be held in New York, NY, USA. The Arbitrator shall render the Award within 30 days after the Arbitrator declares the Hearing closed, and the Award shall include a written statement describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the Award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator will, in rendering his or her decision, apply the substantive law of the State of New York, excluding its conflicts of laws principles with the exception of Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of New York General Obligations Law. The Award rendered by the Arbitrator may be appealed by a Party pursuant to the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Produced. Judgment may be entered upon an award by the Arbitrator in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrator.

 

 39 
 

 

(b) Court Actions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either Party the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the context of a bona fide emergency or prospective irreparable harm, and such an action may be filed and maintained notwithstanding any ongoing discussions between the Parties or any ongoing arbitration proceeding. In addition, either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve disputes pertaining to the validity, construction, scope, enforceability, infringement or other violations of patent rights or other intellectual property rights, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration pursuant to Section 11.3(a).

 

11.4 Confidentiality. Any and all activities conducted under this Article 11 shall be deemed Confidential Information of each of the Parties, and shall be subject to Article 8 above.

 

ARTICLE 12
INDEMNIFICATION

 

12.1 Indemnification by Provention. Provention hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless MacroGenics and its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “MacroGenics Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, suits, actions, demands, liabilities, expenses and/or losses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively, the “Losses”), to which any MacroGenics Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (each, a “Claim”), to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by Provention Group of any license granted to it under this Agreement; (b) the Exploitation of any Compound or Product by Provention Group; (c) the breach by Provention of this Agreement; or (d) the negligence, illegal conduct or willful act or omission of Provention Group, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of clauses (a) through (d) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the negligence, illegal conduct or willful act or omission of any MacroGenics Indemnitee or the breach by MacroGenics of this Agreement.

 

12.2 Indemnification by MacroGenics. MacroGenics hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Provention and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a “Provention Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Provention Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) any Claims of misappropriation of any intellectual property rights based on the practice by the Provention Group of the Provention License to the extent arising out of the circumstances described in Schedule 12.2; (b) the Exploitation of any Compound or Product by MacroGenics or its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Provention Group); (c) the breach by MacroGenics of this Agreement; or (d) the negligence, illegal conduct, or willful act or omission of MacroGenics or its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Provention Group), or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of clauses (a) through (d) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the negligence, illegal conduct or willful act or omission of any Provention Indemnitee or the breach by Provention of this Agreement.

 

 40 
 

 

12.3 Indemnification Procedures.

 

(a) Notice. Promptly after a MacroGenics Indemnitee or a Provention Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to Sections 12.1 or 12.2, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent it can demonstrate actual prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.

 

(b) Defense. Upon receipt of notice under this Section 12.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend against, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee), such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation (which acknowledgment shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability, either under this Article 12 or otherwise) to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 12 and of its intention to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable Third Party expenses related to its investigation and cooperation. As to all Claims as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed control under this Section 12.3(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim (as reasonably directed by the Indemnifying Party) at its own expense.

 

(c) Cooperation. The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.

 

(d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person or entity and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (iii) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 12.

 

12.4 Insurance. Provention shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain, during the period commencing on the Effective Date through the period of Commercialization and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, insurance policies, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated; provided however, that in no event shall such product liability insurance, from and after the commencement of the first Clinical Study of the Compound or Product by Provention, its Affiliates or sublicensees, be written in amounts less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per claim and annual aggregate. All such insurance shall include worldwide coverage. Prior to the initiation of any Clinical Study, Provention shall secure, and maintain in full force and effect, clinical trial insurance as required by Applicable Law in those territories where such Clinical Study shall be conducted.

13.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles. The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods the 1974 Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, as amended by that certain Protocol, done at Vienna on April 11, 1980 shall not apply to the Transaction Agreements or any subject matter hereof or thereof.

 

13.3 Assignment.

 

(a) Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 13.3 shall be null, void and of no legal effect.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees that in the event that a Party (the “Acquired Party”) is acquired (whether by way of merger, acquisition, sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets to which this Agreement pertains, or otherwise) (an “Acquisition”) by a Third Party (the “Acquirer”), the non-Acquired Party shall not obtain any rights or access under this Agreement to any Know-How or Patent Rights Controlled by such Acquirer which were not already within MacroGenics Technology (if the Acquired Party is MacroGenics) or Provention Technology (if the Acquired Party is Provention) immediately prior to the consummation of such Acquisition.

 

13.4 Designation of Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

 

13.5 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that MacroGenics, on the one hand, and Provention, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither MacroGenics nor Provention shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.

 

 43 
 

 

13.6 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of Force Majeure affecting such Party. If Force Majeure persists for more than ninety (90) days, then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure. In the event a Party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for more than one hundred eighty (180) days according to this Section 13.6, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement written notice. A termination under this Section 13.6 by either Party shall be treated as a termination under Section 10.3 and the corresponding provisions for termination under Section 10.3 shall apply except to the extent the affected Party is prevented from performing due to the Force Majeure.

 

13.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that the Prior CDA shall be superseded and terminated hereby, with all Confidential Information disclosed thereunder being deemed Confidential Information under this Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement and either any Exhibits to this Agreement or any subsequent agreements ancillary to this Agreement, unless otherwise express stated to the contrary in such Exhibit or ancillary agreement, the terms contained in this Agreement shall control.

 

13.8 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

 

13.9 English Language. This Agreement shall be written in and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement, shall be in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.

 

13.10 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

Warrant to Purchase

 

Shares of

 

Common Stock

 

As Herein Described

 

May __, 2018

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF

 

PROVENTION BIO, INC.

 

This is to certify that, for value received, MacroGenics, Inc., or a proper assignee (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase up to 270,299 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Provention Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the provisions of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be exercisable at Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50) per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant also is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

   
 

 

1. Exercise and Payment; Exchange.

 

(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) through the close of business on May __, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), at which time this Warrant shall expire and become void, but if such date is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the State of New York are authorized to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. Exercise (“Exercise”) shall be by presentation and surrender to the Company, or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company (the “Transfer Agent”), of (i) this Warrant, (ii) the attached exercise form properly executed, and (iii) a certified or official bank check for the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company or the Transfer Agent shall, upon surrender of the Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the properly executed exercise form, and payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. Under no circumstance shall the Company be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the Holder in lieu of delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash pursuant to Section 2 (a), if the fair market value of one Warrant Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by Exercise of this Warrant, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A – B)
A

Where:

 

  X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
       
  Y = The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
       
  A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation)
       
  B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

   
 

 

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall be determined as set forth in Section 3(a) – (c) below.

 

(b) Conditions to Exercise or Exchange. The restrictions in Section 7 shall apply, to the extent applicable by their terms, to any exercise or exchange of this Warrant permitted by this Section 1.

 

2. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times until the expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon issuance, all Warrant Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

3. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the exercise or exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per share of Common Stock, determined as follows:

 

(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange;

 

(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, the current fair market value shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.; or

 

(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current fair market value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company in good faith.

 

4. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

   
 

 

5. Adjustments in Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares.

 

5.1 The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a) If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

(b) If the Company declares a dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

(c) If the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(d) If the Company offers rights or warrants to the holders of Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(e) If the event, as a result of which an adjustment is made under paragraph (a) or (b) above, does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of shares issuable that were made in accordance with such paragraph (a) or (b) shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such event.

 

   
 

 

5.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity after which the Company is not the surviving entity, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of common stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, appropriately adjusted for any subsequent event described in this Section 5. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

 

5.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

 

6. Notices to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any class of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or any similar rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably possible if thirty (30) days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on which a record of the Company’s shareholders is to be taken for the purpose of any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event.

 

   
 

 

7. Transfer, Exercise, Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant, Warrant Shares or Other Securities.

 

7.1 This Warrant may be transferred, exercised, exchanged or assigned (“transferred”), in whole or in part, subject to the following restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other securities (“Other Securities”) received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to restrictions on transferability until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless an exemption from registration is available. Until this Warrant and the Warrant Shares or Other Securities are so registered or exempt from registration, this Warrant and any certificate for Warrant Shares or Other Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, stating that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which may be counsel to the Company, that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may be transferred without such registration. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may also be subject to restrictions on transferability under applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

 

7.2 Any transfer permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company or to the Transfer Agent at its offices with a duly executed request to transfer the Warrant, which shall provide adequate information to effect such transfer and shall be accompanied by funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes applicable. The Company or Transfer Agent shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the transferee named in such transfer request, and this Warrant promptly shall be cancelled.

 

7.3 Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonable satisfactory indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct the Transfer Agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date, any such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void.

 

8. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company with respect to the issuance of the Warrant as follows:

 

8.1 Legends. The Holder understands and acknowledges that the certificate(s) evidencing the securities issued by the Company will be imprinted with a restrictive legend as referenced in Section 7.1 above.

8.3 Authorization. This Warrant and the agreements contemplated hereby, when executed and delivered by the Holder, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Holder, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

 

8.4 Brokers or Finders.

All notices, requests, demands or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, if delivered in person or mailed, certified, return-receipt requested, postage prepaid to the address previously provided to the other party, or sent by fax or email (to the extent stated below).

In order to induce MDB Capital Group, LLC (“MDB”) to locate investors to participate in an initial public offering by the Company, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the earlier of (a) the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock (the “IPO”) and (b) the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an exchange or any tier of The NASDAQ Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange and ending on the date that is 12 months thereafter (the Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended) of the undersigned not to, (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, held as of the date hereof (the “Subscriber’s Shares”) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Subscriber’s Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise.

 

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Subscriber’s Shares even if the Subscriber’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned.

In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose stop-transfer instructions preventing the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s Transfer Agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. The Company is a third party beneficiary of this provision.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to MDB and the Company to complete the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Private Placement, and that MDB and the Company shall each be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lock-Up Agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the Private Placement.

 

The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

At the discretion of MDB some or all of the Subscriber’s Shares may be released from the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement, and the Company will take the required action to permit the securities so released to be free of the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement.

 

This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

 

This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied.

In the event that a Product is sold as a Combination Product, the Net Sales of the Product shall be determined by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sale price of the Product in the applicable country, where net sales is calculated in the same manner as Net Sales, when sold separately in finished form and B is the weighted average unit sale price in that country (net sales being calculated in the same manner as Net Sales) of the other API which is included in the Combination Product when such API is sold separately in finished form at the same dosage levels, in each case during the applicable royalty reporting period, or, if sales of both the Product and the other API did not occur in the same country in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period in which sales of both occurred, provided that such “recent royalty reporting period” shall not have been more than twenty-four (24) months earlier.

 

In the event that such weighted average sale price of the Product cannot be determined, but the weighted average sale price of the other API can be determined, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the following formula: one (1) minus B / C where B is the weighted average sale price of the other API when sold separately in finished form and C is the weighted average selling price of the Combination Product.

 

In the event that the weighted average sale price of both the Product and the other API in the Combination Product cannot be determined, the Net Sales of the Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product (determined as provided above for Products) by the fraction A / C where A is the predicted fair market value of the Product if such Product were sold as a stand-alone Product as determined in good faith by the Parties and C is the weighted average selling price of the Combination Product.

 

The weighted average sale price for a Product, any other API(s) used in a Combination Product, or any Combination Product shall be calculated once each calendar year, at the beginning of such calendar year, and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for such entire calendar year. When determining the weighted average sale price of a Product, other API(s), or Combination Product, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollar (translated into U.S. dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the preceding calendar year (or the number of months sold in a partial calendar year) for the respective Product, other API(s), or Combination Product. In the initial calendar year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Product, other API(s) or Combination Product.

9.4 Procedure. A Person intending to claim indemnification under this Article 9 (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly provide written notice to the Party providing indemnification (the “Indemnitor”) of any Third Party Claim with respect to which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, which notice shall include a description of the Third Party Claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis for the Third Party Claim; provided that failure of the Indemnitee to give the Indemnitor notice as set forth herein shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitor shall have the right, in its sole discretion and at its election by written notice to the Indemnitee within fifteen (15) days after delivering notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnitee, to conduct the defense against such Third Party Claim in its own name, provided that the Indemnitor (i) shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed regarding the status of such Third Party Claim, (ii) shall provide the Indemnitee the reasonable opportunity to consult with the Indemnitor regarding the defense of such claim, and (iii) may not settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) unless (A) such settlement or compromise involves no finding or admission of any breach by any Indemnitee of any obligation to any other Person or any violation by any Indemnitee of any Applicable Law, and (B) the sole relief provided in connection with such settlement or compromise is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor. If the Indemnitee fails to timely give notice of such election to conduct the defense, it will be deemed to have elected not to conduct the defense of the subject Third Party Claim, and in such event the Indemnitor shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to conduct the defense in good faith with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitor (x) shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed regarding the status of such Third Party Claim, (y) shall provide the Indemnitee the reasonable opportunity to consult with the Indemnitor regarding the defense of such claim and (z) may not settle or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Warrant to Purchase

Shares of

Common Stock

As Herein Described

 

May __, 2018

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK OF

 

PROVENTION BIO, INC.

 

This is to certify that, for value received, MacroGenics, Inc., or a proper assignee (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase up to 2,162,389 shares (“Warrant Shares”) of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Provention Bio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), subject to the provisions of this Warrant. This Warrant shall be exercisable at Two Dollars and Fifty Cents ($2.50) per share (the “Exercise Price”). This Warrant also is subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

1. Exercise and Payment; Exchange.

 

(a) This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any time from and after the date hereof (the “Commencement Date”) through the close of business on May __, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), at which time this Warrant shall expire and become void, but if such date is a day on which federal or state chartered banking institutions located in the State of New York are authorized to close, then on the next succeeding day which shall not be such a day. Exercise (“Exercise”) shall be by presentation and surrender to the Company, or at the office of any transfer agent designated by the Company (the “Transfer Agent”), of (i) this Warrant, (ii) the attached exercise form properly executed, and (iii) a certified or official bank check for the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares specified in the exercise form. If this Warrant is exercised in part only, the Company or the Transfer Agent shall, upon surrender of the Warrant, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder. Upon receipt by the Company of this Warrant, the properly executed exercise form, and payment as aforesaid, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company shall then be closed or that certificates representing such Warrant Shares shall not then be actually delivered to the Holder. Under no circumstance shall the Company be required to make any cash payments or net cash settlement to the Holder in lieu of delivery of the Warrant Shares.

 

59
 

 

(b) In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash pursuant to Section 2(a), if the fair market value of one Warrant Share is greater than the Exercise Price (at the date of calculation as set forth below), the Holder may elect to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by Exercise of this Warrant, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder that number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A – B)
A

 

Where:

 

  X = The number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder
     
    Y = The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation)
     
    A = The fair market value of one Warrant Share (at the date of such calculation)
     
    B = The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

 

For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Warrant Share shall be determined as set forth in Section 3(a) – (c) below.

 

(b) Conditions to Exercise or Exchange. The restrictions in Section 7 shall apply, to the extent applicable by their terms, to any exercise or exchange of this Warrant permitted by this Section 1.

 

2. Reservation of Shares. The Company shall, at all times until the expiration of this Warrant, reserve for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant the number of Warrant Shares which shall be required for issuance and delivery upon exercise of this Warrant. Upon issuance, all Warrant Shares will be validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof.

 

60
 

 

3. Fractional Interests. The Company shall not issue any fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares upon the exercise or exchange of this Warrant. With respect to any fraction of a share resulting from the exercise or exchange hereof, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the current fair market value per share of Common Stock, determined as follows:

 

(a) If the Common Stock is listed on a national securities exchange or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on such an exchange, the current fair market value shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on such exchange on the last business day prior to the date of exercise of this Warrant or if no such sale is made on such day, the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for such day on such exchange;

 

(b) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, the current fair market value shall be the mean of the last bid and asked prices reported on the last business day prior to the date of the exercise of this Warrant by the OTC Markets Group, Inc.; or

 

(c) If the Common Stock is not so listed or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange and bid and asked prices are not so reported, the current fair market value shall be an amount, not less than book value, determined in such reasonable manner as may be prescribed by the Company in good faith.

 

4. No Rights as Shareholder. This Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights as a shareholder of the Company, either at law or in equity. The rights of the Holder are limited to those expressed in this Warrant and are not enforceable against the Company except to the extent set forth herein.

 

5. Adjustments in Number and Exercise Price of Warrant Shares.

 

5.1 The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised and the Exercise Price therefor shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a) If the Company is recapitalized through the subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger or smaller number of shares, the number of Warrant Shares shall be increased or reduced, as of the record date for such recapitalization, in the same proportion as the increase or decrease in the outstanding shares of Common Stock, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all of the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such recapitalization shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

(b) If the Company declares a dividend on Common Stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised shall be increased as of the record date for determining which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividend, in proportion to the increase in the number of outstanding shares (and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all such securities convertible into Common Stock) of Common Stock as a result of such dividend, and the Exercise Price shall be adjusted so that the aggregate amount payable for the purchase of all the Warrant Shares issuable hereunder immediately after the record date for such dividend shall equal the aggregate amount so payable immediately before such record date.

 

61
 

 

(c) If the Company distributes to holders of its Common Stock, other than as part of its dissolution or liquidation or the winding up of its affairs, any evidence of indebtedness or any of its assets (other than cash, Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock), the Company shall give written notice to the Holder of any such distribution at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before the record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(d) If the Company offers rights or warrants to the holders of Common Stock which entitle them to subscribe to or purchase additional Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock, the Company shall give written notice of any such proposed offering to the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed record date in order to permit the Holder to exercise this Warrant on or before such record date. There shall be no adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant may be exercised, or in the Exercise Price, by virtue of any such distribution.

 

(e) If the event, as a result of which an adjustment is made under paragraph (a) or (b) above, does not occur, then any adjustments in the Exercise Price or number of shares issuable that were made in accordance with such paragraph (a) or (b) shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price and number of shares as were in effect immediately prior to the record date for such event.

 

5.2 In the event of any reorganization or reclassification of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value or from no par value to par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Company with another entity after which the Company is not the surviving entity, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and number of shares of common stock and other securities, cash or other property as would have been distributed to the Holder upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger had the Holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, appropriately adjusted for any subsequent event described in this Section 5. The Holder shall pay upon such exercise the Exercise Price that otherwise would have been payable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant. If any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation or merger results in a cash distribution in excess of the then applicable Exercise Price, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price, and in such case the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full, and in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

 

62
 

 

5.3 If the Company shall, at any time before the expiration of this Warrant, dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs, the Holder shall have the right to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock of the Company that the Holder otherwise would have been entitled to receive, the same kind and amount of assets as would have been issued, distributed or paid to the Holder upon any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to such Common Stock receivable upon exercise of this Warrant on the date for determining those entitled to receive any such distribution. If any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up results in any cash distribution in excess of the Exercise Price provided by this Warrant, the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, exercise this Warrant without making payment of the Exercise Price and, in such case, the Company shall, upon distribution to the Holder, consider the Exercise Price to have been paid in full and, in making settlement to the Holder, shall deduct an amount equal to the Exercise Price from the amount payable to the Holder.

 

6. Notices to Holder. So long as this Warrant shall be outstanding (a) if the Company shall pay any dividends or make any distribution upon the Common Stock otherwise than in cash or (b) if the Company shall offer generally to the holders of Common Stock the right to subscribe to or purchase any shares of any class of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock or any similar rights or (c) if there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company in which the Company is not the surviving entity, recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another corporation, sale, lease or other transfer of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, or voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then in such event, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder, at least thirty (30) days prior to the relevant date described below (or such shorter period as is reasonably possible if thirty (30) days is not reasonably possible), a notice containing a description of the proposed action and stating the date or expected date on which a record of the Company’s shareholders is to be taken for the purpose of any such dividend, distribution of rights, or such reclassification, reorganization, consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the date or expected date, if any is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such event.

 

7. Transfer, Exercise, Exchange, Assignment or Loss of Warrant, Warrant Shares or Other Securities.

 

7.1 This Warrant may be transferred, exercised, exchanged or assigned (“transferred”), in whole or in part, subject to the following restrictions. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or any other securities (“Other Securities”) received upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to restrictions on transferability until registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), unless an exemption from registration is available. Until this Warrant and the Warrant Shares or Other Securities are so registered or exempt from registration, this Warrant and any certificate for Warrant Shares or Other Securities issued or issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall contain a legend on the face thereof, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Company, stating that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of unless, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, which may be counsel to the Company, that this Warrant, the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may be transferred without such registration. This Warrant and the Warrant Shares or Other Securities may also be subject to restrictions on transferability under applicable state securities or blue sky laws.

 

63
 

 

7.2 Any transfer permitted hereunder shall be made by surrender of this Warrant to the Company or to the Transfer Agent at its offices with a duly executed request to transfer the Warrant, which shall provide adequate information to effect such transfer and shall be accompanied by funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes applicable. The Company or Transfer Agent shall, without charge, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the transferee named in such transfer request, and this Warrant promptly shall be cancelled.

 

7.3 Upon receipt by the Company of evidence satisfactory to it of loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of reasonable satisfactory indemnification, or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver, or instruct the Transfer Agent to execute and deliver, a new Warrant of like tenor and date, any such lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant thereupon shall become void.

Re: Provention Bio, Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Warrants (the “Warrants”), each dated as of May __, 2018 between Provention Bio, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, (the “Company”) and MacroGenics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Subscriber”), in which Subscriber desires to acquire warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 2,432,688 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company in consideration of the Company’s and Subscriber’s entry into an Asset Purchase Agreement and License Agreement, each dated as of May __, 2018.

 

In order to induce MDB Capital Group, LLC (“MDB”) to locate investors to participate in an initial public offering by the Company, the undersigned agrees that, commencing on the earlier of (a) the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering of its Common Stock (the “IPO”) and (b) the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on an exchange or any tier of The NASDAQ Stock Market or New York Stock Exchange and ending on the date that is 12 months thereafter (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not, and will cause all affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 Act, as amended) of the undersigned not to, (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock, or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of Common Stock, held as of the date hereof (the “Subscriber’s Shares”) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Subscriber’s Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise.

 

The foregoing restriction is expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned, and any affiliate of the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of the Subscriber’s Shares even if the Subscriber’s Shares would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include, without limitation, any short sale or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any of the Subscriber’s Shares or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant part of its value from the Subscriber’s Shares.

 

70
 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer the Subscriber’s Shares, provided that in case of items (i) through (v) below, any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, and provided further that any transferee shall agree to be bound by the terms of this Lock-up Agreement:

 

(i) bona fide gift or gifts or by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned; or

 

(ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; or

 

(iii) if the undersigned is a trust, any distribution to a beneficiary of the trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust and such transfer is not for value; or

 

(iv) as a distribution or transfer to stockholders, members, limited partners, or other securityholders of the undersigned or to regular employees of the undersigned whether or not for value; or

 

(v) to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity all of the beneficial ownership interests of which are held by the undersigned or to the undersigned’s affiliates or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by or under common control with the undersigned.

 

For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

 

Notwithstanding anything contrary in this Lock-Up Agreement, (i) the undersigned may exercise warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, provided that the underlying shares of Common Stock shall continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in this letter agreement, (ii) the undersigned can enter into a sales plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), provided that no sales, dispositions or other transfers of the Subscriber’s Shares may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period and no public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act regarding the establishment of such plan shall be required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company; (iii) nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the transfer of securities of the Company pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Common Stock, provided that in the event that the tender offer, merger, consolidation or other such transaction is not completed, the Subscriber’s Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Lock-Up Agreement, and (iv) nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the transfer of the Subscriber’s Shares with the written consent of MDB and the agreement of the transferee that it will be subject to the restrictions contained herein.

 

In order to enforce this covenant, the Company shall impose stop-transfer instructions preventing the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) from effecting any actions in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement. The undersigned agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s Transfer Agent and registrar against the transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions. The Company is a third party beneficiary of this provision.

 

71
 

 

The undersigned acknowledges that the execution, delivery and performance of this Lock-Up Agreement is a material inducement to MDB and the Company to complete the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement and the Private Placement, and that MDB and the Company shall each be entitled to specific performance of the undersigned’s obligations hereunder. The undersigned hereby represents that the undersigned has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Lock-Up Agreement, that the undersigned has received adequate consideration therefor and that the undersigned will indirectly benefit from the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the Private Placement.

 

The undersigned understands and agrees that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

 

At the discretion of MDB some or all of the Subscriber’s Shares may be released from the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement, and the Company will take the required action to permit the securities so released to be free of the restrictions of this Lock-Up Agreement.

 

This Lock-Up Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but both of which shall be considered one and the same instrument.

 

This Lock-Up Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of Delaware will control the interpretation and construction of this Lock-Up Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
