Use of Proceeds:   

Subject to the DIP Budget, DIP Cash Flow Forecast (each as defined below), and permitted variances, proceeds of the DIP Facility shall be available solely for the Debtors’ working capital needs, including to fund the costs of the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases and to pay professional fees and expenses; provided that the Rolled Term Loans shall solely be used to effectuate the conversion of Prepetition Financing Agreement Obligations into the DIP Facility as set forth above.

 

In addition, the Debtors (and their subsidiaries) shall be subject to prohibitions on certain uses of the proceeds of the DIP Facility and/or Cash Collateral, which are usual and customary for a debtor-in-possession financing of this type.

Lockbox Account    The Debtors shall deposit all net cash proceeds (net of required cure costs and investment banking fees) realized by the Debtors in connection with the Sale Transactions (the “Net Cash Proceeds”) in a segregated account under the control of the DIP Agent (the “Lockbox Account”), and any amounts on deposit in the Lockbox Account shall immediately be used to mandatorily prepay the DIP Obligations (subject, in the case of proceeds from the Rubraca Sale Transaction, to the proviso set forth in the section of this DIP Term Sheet entitled “Mandatory Prepayments”). Prior to or concurrently with the closing of the FAP Sale Transaction, amounts representing the final cure costs that have been determined by the Bankruptcy Court or resolved consensually with the contract counterparty, and estimated cure costs for contracts that may be assigned in the FAP Sale Transaction for which cure costs have not been fixed prior to the closing date of the FAP Sale Transaction, shall be placed in an escrow account. Following the resolution or determination of such cure costs, and payment thereof, the Net Cash Proceeds related to the cure costs shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall be entitled to retain $12.5 million (not out of sale proceeds, but from cash on hand in accordance with the DIP Budget) to fund a wind-down of the estates following closing of the Sale Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the prior written consent of the Required DIP Lenders, the Debtors shall not be permitted to, directly or indirectly, use or otherwise expend more than $6 million to pay or otherwise satisfy cure costs in connection with the assumption and/or assignment of executory contracts or unexpired leases in connection with the FAP Sale Transaction.

Budget:   

It shall be a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the DIP Facility that the Debtors shall have delivered, all on a consolidated basis (i) a monthly line item budget covering the period from the date of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Petition Date”) through the anticipated Maturity Date (the “DIP Budget”) and (ii) a 13-week cash flow forecast (the “DIP Cash Flow Forecast”), in each case, which shall include, among other things, detail with respect to disbursements on account of clinical trials and shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Debtors and the Required DIP Lenders (it being understood and agreed that (x) the DIP Budget sent to the DIP Lenders by AlixPartners LLP on December 3, 2022 and (y) the DIP Cash Flow Forecast sent to the DIP Lenders by AlixPartners LLP on December 4, 2022 and further revised and sent to DIP Lenders on December 15, 2022 are acceptable to both the Debtors and the Required Lenders). The Debtors shall update the DIP Budget monthly subject to the Company’s month-end closing process, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after month-end. The Debtors shall provide an updated DIP Cash Flow Forecast reflecting the most recently updated and approved DIP Budget, which shall be deemed accepted unless the Required DIP Lenders object via email to the Debtors and their advisors within five (5) business days of receipt, and a report of any variances from the DIP Cash Flow Forecast bi-weekly; provided that, if the Required DIP Lenders object to any future DIP Budget or DIP Cash Flow Forecast, the prior approved DIP Budget or DIP Cash Flow Forecast shall remain in place and in full effect until a new DIP Budget or DIP Cash Flow Forecast is not objected to by the Required Lenders.

 

Over each rolling two-week period, the Debtors shall not permit (i) operating expense disbursements (excluding capital expenditures in clause (ii) and restructuring costs in the following sentence) to exceed the amount set forth in the DIP Cash Flow Forecast for such period by more than 15%, and (ii) capital expenditures to exceed the amount set forth in the DIP Cash Flow Forecast for such period by more than the greater of 10% and $500,000.
