Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

As previously reported, we entered into a facility agreement (as amended, the “Facility Agreement”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) on July 1, 2013, providing for the sale by us of up to $160.0 million principal amount of our 9.75% senior secured convertible notes due 2019 (the “2019 notes”) to Deerfield in four equal tranches.

On July 18, 2014, following our receipt of approval of AFFREZZA^® from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on June 27, 2014 and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, Deerfield purchased the fourth and final tranche of 2019 notes (the “Tranche 4 Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $40.0 million in accordance with the terms of the Facility Agreement. Although the Facility Agreement provided for the conversion of a portion of the 2019 notes into shares of our common stock at Deerfield’s election (the “Conversion Option”), Deerfield previously exercised the Conversion Option in full and accordingly the Tranche 4 Notes are not convertible by their terms.

The Tranche 4 Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9.75% per annum until maturity in 2019 or their earlier repayment or repurchase. We are required to repay 25% of the original principal amount of the Tranche 4 Notes on each of July 18, 2017, July 18, 2018 and July 18, 2019, and the entire outstanding principal amount of all Tranche 4 Notes will become due and payable on December 31, 2019. Under the Facility Agreement, in the event of a Major Transaction, as defined in the Facility Agreement, the holders of the Tranche 4 Notes have the option to require us to repurchase the outstanding Tranche 4 Notes at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of such notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. In addition, pursuant to the Facility Agreement, if one or more events of default occur and continue beyond any applicable cure period, the holders of the Tranche 4 Notes may declare all or any portion of the outstanding Tranche 4 Notes to be immediately due and payable. Events of default under the Facility Agreement include: our failure to timely make payments due under any outstanding 2019 notes or tranche B notes issued pursuant to the Facility Agreement; inaccuracies in our representations and warranties to Deerfield; our failure to comply with any of our covenants under any of the Facility Agreement, our Milestone Rights Purchase Agreement with Deerfield Private Design Fund and Horizon Santé FLML SÁRL dated July 1, 2013, or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Facility Agreement, subject to a cure period with respect to most covenants; our insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; certain judgments against us; the suspension, cancellation or revocation of governmental authorizations that are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our business; the acceleration of a specified amount of our indebtedness; and our cash and cash equivalents, including amounts available to us under our loan arrangement with The Mann Group LLC, falling below $25.0 million as of the last day of any fiscal quarter.

The foregoing description of the Tranche 4 Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of 2019 note, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 1, 2013; the Facility Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 1, 2013; and the First Amendment to Facility Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2014, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.39 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2014.
