The Commitments of Lenders to make any portion of the Term Loan shall terminate concurrently with the making of such portion of the Term Loan, such portion terminated to equal the amount of such Term Loan.

2.2 Amendments to Royalty Agreement. |
|
2.2.1 Amendment to Section 1.1. Effective as of the date hereof, the definition of “Residual Royalty Commencement Date” in Section 1.1 of the Royalty Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows: |
“‘Residual Royalty Commencement Date” means, the date on which Product Revenue received by the Company would have otherwise resulted in the payment in full of the Deemed Residual Royalty Return Premium (as defined herein) pursuant to the payment mechanics set forth in Section 2.9.1 of the Credit Agreement without taking into account the amendments to such Section 2.9.1 as set forth in that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Amendment to Residual Royalty Agreement dated as of May 13, 2019. For the avoidance of doubt, because the Deemed Residual Royalty Return Premium will be calculated without giving effect to the amendments to Section 2.9.1 as set forth in that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Amendment to Residual Royalty
4
Agreement dated as of May 13, 2019, SWK may not have actually received an amount equal to the Deemed Residual Royalty Return Premium on such date pursuant to Section 2.9.1 as of the Residual Royalty Commencement Date.”
|
2.2.2 Addition to Section 1.1. Effective as of the date hereof, the following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Royalty Agreement: |
“‘Deemed Residual Royalty Return Premium’ means, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to the sum (if positive) of: (a) Residual Royalty Revenue-Based Cap, minus (b) all Revenue-Based Payments that would have been paid to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, on or prior to such date pursuant to the payment mechanics set forth in Section 2.9.1 of the Credit Agreement without taking into account the amendments to such Section 2.9.1 as set forth in that certain Second Amendment to Credit Agreement and Amendment to Residual Royalty Agreement dated as of May 13, 2019, minus (c) the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of such date.”
“‘Residual Royalty Revenue-Based Cap’ means, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) 1.75 multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount of the Term Loan actually advanced by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Credit Agreement on or prior to such date.”
|
2.2.3 Amendment to Section 2.1(a). Effective as of the date hereof, Section 2.1(a) of the Royalty Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: |
“(a)Commencing as of the Residual Royalty Commencement Date, the Company promises to pay to SWK an amount based on a percentage of the aggregate of (without duplication) the Net Sales, Royalties and any other income or revenue realized by the Company solely related to or arising from the FC2 Product, calculated in accordance with GAAP (collectively, the “Product Revenue”) in each Fiscal Quarter (or, in the case of the initial Fiscal Quarter in which the Residual Royalty Commencement Date occurs, partial Fiscal Quarter) (the “Revenue-Based Payment”). The Revenue-Based Payment with respect to each Fiscal Quarter shall be payable on the Payment Date next following the end of such Fiscal Quarter. The Revenue-Based Payment with respect to each Fiscal Quarter shall be calculated as, five percent (5.00%) of Product Revenue during the applicable Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof during the first Fiscal Quarter). For purposes of clarity, (i) Product Revenue pertaining to any Fiscal Quarter (or portion thereof with respect to the Fiscal Quarter containing the Residual Royalty Commencement Date) arising prior to the Residual Royalty Commencement Date, and all payments relating thereto, shall be payable in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, (ii) all Product Revenue pertaining to the portion of the Fiscal Quarter containing the Residual Royalty Commencement Date occurring after the Residual Royalty Commencement Date and all Product Revenue pertaining to any Fiscal Quarters thereafter until the date on which the Obligations under the Credit Agreement are Paid in Full (the “Payoff Date”), and all payments
5
relating thereto, shall be payable in accordance with the terms of both the Credit Agreement and this Agreement, on a separate basis, and (iii) all Product Revenue pertaining to the portion of the Fiscal Quarter containing the Payoff Date occurring after the Payoff Date and all Product Revenue pertaining to any Fiscal Quarters thereafter, and all payments relating thereto, shall be payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. For further clarity, (i) each dollar of Product Revenue pertaining to the period between the Residual Royalty Commencement Date and the Payoff Date, will be subject to both the obligation to pay a percentage thereof to the Agent under the Credit Agreement and the obligation to pay a percentage thereof to SWK as a Revenue-Based Payment hereunder, and (ii) in no event will any amounts paid under the Credit Agreement satisfy any portion of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement nor shall any amounts paid under this Agreement satisfy any portion of the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.”
