Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 23, 2014, MannKind Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Promissory Note (the “Note”) and a Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Aventisub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “noteholder”), an affiliate of Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH (“Sanofi”), to provide the Company with a secured loan facility of up to $175.0 million (the “Loan Facility”) to fund the Company’s share of net losses under the previously announced license and collaboration agreement with Sanofi dated August 11, 2014 (the “License Agreement”).

The obligations of the Company under the Loan Facility are guaranteed by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MannKind LLC, and are secured by a first priority security interest in certain insulin inventory located in the United States and any contractual rights and obligations pursuant to which the Company purchases or has purchased such insulin, and a second priority security interest in the Company’s assets that secure the Company’s obligations under the July 1, 2013 facility agreement with Deerfield Private Design Fund II, L.P. and Deerfield Private Design International II, L.P. In addition, the Company has agreed to grant to the noteholder, as additional security for the obligations under the Loan Facility, a first priority mortgage on the Company’s facility in Valencia, California, by December 22, 2014.

Advances under the Loan Facility will bear interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum and will be payable in-kind and compounded quarterly and added to the outstanding principal balance under the Loan Facility. The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments on the outstanding loans under the Loan Facility from its share of any Profits (as defined in the License Agreement) under the License Agreement within 30 days of receipt of its share of any such Profits.

The outstanding principal of all loans under the Loan Facility, if not prepaid, will become due and payable on September 23, 2024 unless accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Loan Facility. Additionally, if the Company sells its Valencia facility, the Company is required to prepay the loans under the Loan Facility in an amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds of the sale within five business days of receipt.

The Loan Facility includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, including restrictions on its ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant certain liens and make certain changes to its organizational documents. Events of default under the Loan Facility include: the Company’s failure to timely make payments due under the Loan Facility; inaccuracies in the Company’s representations and warranties to the noteholder; the Company’s failure to comply with any of its covenants under any of the Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Loan Facility, subject to a cure period with respect to most covenants; the Company’s insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; termination by Sanofi of the License Agreement as a result of the Company’s breach of the License Agreement; and the failure of any material provision under any of the Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Loan Facility to remain in full force and effect. If one or more events of default occurs and is continuing, the noteholder may terminate its obligation to make advances under the Loan Facility, and, if certain specified events of default (including the Company’s failure to timely make payments due under the Loan Facility; the Company’s failure to comply with the negative covenants under the Loan Facility limiting the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness or grant certain liens; the Company’s insolvency or the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; termination by Sanofi of the License Agreement as a result of the Company’s breach of the non-compete provisions of the License Agreement; or the failure of any material provision under any of the Loan Facility or certain other related security agreements and documents entered into in connection with the Loan Facility to remain in full force and effect) occur and are continuing, the noteholder may accelerate all of the Company’s repayment obligations under the Loan Facility and otherwise exercise any of its remedies as a secured creditor.

The foregoing description of the Note and the Security Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Note and the Security Agreement, copies of which are attached as exhibits to this report.

In the event (x) and on each occasion that any Profit Amount is received by the Borrower, the Borrower shall, within 30 days after such Profit Amount is received, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Profit Amount; provided that, the amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any optional prepayments made pursuant to Section 3.2 during the fiscal quarter of the Borrower most recently ended and (y) that any transaction contemplated by Section 5.9(d) of the Security Agreement is consummated, the Borrower shall, with 5 Business Days after such transaction, prepay the Loans or reduce the commitments of the Noteholder to make Advances hereunder in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of the net cash proceeds thereof.

6


5.2 Interest Payment Dates. On each Interest Payment Date, interest shall be paid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Loans on such date by an amount equal to the amount of interest for the applicable interest period (rounded to the nearest whole cent). Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Loans as a result of an interest payment, the Loans will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such interest payment.

5.3 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default pursuant to Sections 10.1 and 10.5, interest will accrue at the Default Rate on any amount then outstanding from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full and will be payable on demand.

5.4 Computation of Interest. All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days (or a quarter of 90 days), as the case may be, and the actual number of days elapsed (which shall not exceed 90 days for any period between Interest Payment Dates). Interest shall accrue on each Loan on the day on which such Loan is made (or deemed made pursuant to Section 5.2), and shall not accrue on any Loan for the day on which it is paid.

5.5 Interest Rate Limitation. If at any time and for any reason whatsoever, the interest rate payable on any Loan shall exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged by the Noteholder to the Borrower under applicable Law, such interest rate shall be reduced automatically to the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged under applicable Law.

6. Payment Mechanics.

6.1 Manner of Payments. All payments of interest and principal shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America no later than 11:00 AM New York City time on the date on which such payment is due by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Noteholder’s account at a bank specified by the Noteholder in writing to the Borrower from time to time. All payments to be made by the Borrower hereunder and under the Collateral Documents shall be made (x) without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff and (y) without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable Law; provided that if any applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax for any such payment then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, and if such Tax is not an Excluded Tax, then the amount of the payment due from the Borrower shall be increased by an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no Tax Deduction had been required.

6.2 Application of Payments. All payments made hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of any fees or charges outstanding hereunder, second to accrued interest, and third to the payment of the principal amount outstanding under the Note.

6.3 Business Day Convention. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business

 

7


Day and such extension will not be taken into account in calculating the amount of interest payable under this Note; provided that, if such next succeeding Business Day would fall after the Maturity Date, payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

6.4 Evidence of Debt. The Noteholder is authorized to record on the grid attached hereto as Exhibit A each Loan made to the Borrower and each payment or prepayment thereof. The entries made by the Noteholder shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of the Noteholder to record such payments or prepayments, or any inaccuracy therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Note.

6.5 Rescission of Payments. If at any time any payment made by the Borrower under this Note is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had not been made.

6.6 Status of Noteholders. If any Noteholder is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under this Note, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the Original Noteholder, at the time or times prescribed by applicable law and at any times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Original Noteholder, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Original Noteholder as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, the Noteholders, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Original Noteholder, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Original Noteholder as will enable the Borrower or the Original Noteholder to determine whether or not the Noteholder is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than a Form W-9 or Form W-8, as applicable, and documentation prescribed by FATCA) shall not be required if in the Noteholder’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject the Noteholder to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the Noteholder. In furtherance of the foregoing, on the date hereof the Original Noteholder shall deliver to the Borrower duly completed and executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that the Original Noteholder is a U.S. person exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

6.7 Tax Indemnity. The Borrower shall indemnify each Noteholder, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount any Taxes, other than Excluded Taxes (including any such non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section), imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of the Borrower under this Note or any Collateral Document (including any payment made by the Guarantor) that are payable or paid by such Noteholder or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to

 

8


such Noteholder and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto (whether or not such non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority).

Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this Section, such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank v.

(e) Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:

(ii) If Secured Creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower or any Guarantor:

(B) Secured Creditor may collect from such Guarantor even if Secured Creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.

These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

- 19 -


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Creditor, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than defense of payment), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of a Secured Creditor or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Secured Creditor shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at Secured Creditor’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Creditor at places which Secured Creditor shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. Secured Creditor shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Secured Creditor hereunder, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as Secured Creditor may elect in its discretion, and only after such application and after the payment by Secured Creditor of any other amount required by any provision of law, need Secured Creditor account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor.

(a) Each Grantor recognizes that Secured Creditor may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Secured Creditor shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Creditor agrees: (i) to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Secured Creditor under any Loan Document on any Inventory consisting of the Product (as defined in the Deerfield Facility) or raw materials, work in process and materials used for the manufacture of the Product (as defined in the Deerfield Facility) (other than US Insulin Inventory owned by any Grantor) (collectively, “Product Inventory”), Receivables arising from the sale or licensing of the Product (as defined in the Deerfield Facility) (including, without limitation Receivables representing royalties or other amounts due under licenses of Intellectual Property for the sale of the Product) (collectively, “Product Receivables”) or proceeds thereof, in connection with the entry by any Grantor into a working capital facility permitted by clause (xii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (as defined in the Deerfield Facility) and (ii) to enter into subordination, non-disturbance and similar agreements in connection with the licensing of Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property that is the subject of the License Agreement) permitted pursuant to the terms of the Promissory Note, the Deerfield Facility or the other Loan Documents (it being agreed that a non-disturbance agreement substantially in the form attached as Annex II shall be acceptable to the Secured Creditor).

7.18 Obligations and Liens Absolute and Unconditional. Each Grantor understands and agrees that the obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any of the Secured Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guaranty or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Secured Creditor, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Grantor or any other Person against Secured Creditor, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Grantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Grantor for the Secured Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Grantor, Secured Creditor may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Grantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty for the Secured Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Secured Creditor to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Grantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any

 

- 24 -


such right of offset, or any release of any other Grantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guaranty or right of offset, shall not relieve any Grantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of Secured Creditor against any Grantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

7.19 Reinstatement. In the event that any payment in respect of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

7.20 Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Liens and security interest granted to Secured Creditor pursuant to this Agreement (other than with respect to each of the US Insulin Inventory and the Valencia Facility) are, prior to the Payment in Full of the Deerfield Loan Obligations (as each such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), expressly subordinate to those granted to the Deerfield Lenders pursuant to the Deerfield Security Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by Secured Creditor hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the Payment in Full of the Deerfield Loan Obligations, the requirements of this Agreement to deliver Receivables, Instruments, Certificated Securities, Chattel Paper, Pledged Equity, Pledged Notes, Investment Property, any certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto and any other Collateral to Secured Creditor shall be deemed satisfied by delivery of such Receivables, Instruments, Certificated Securities, Chattel Paper, Pledged Equity, Pledged Notes, Investment Property, any certificates, instruments or documents in relation thereto and any other Collateral to the First Lien Collateral Agent (as bailee for Secured Creditor) as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

ANNEX II

FORM OF NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made as of this     day of             , 201    , by and among [MannKind Corporation][Other Grantor] (“Licensor”) and [Name of Licensee] (“Licensee”), as parties to the License Agreement (as defined below), and the secured party listed on the signature page hereto (“Secured Party”), as the holders of the Security Interest (as defined below).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Licensor and Licensee are parties to that certain [License Agreement] dated             , 20    , as it may be amended (the “License Agreement”), providing for a collaboration, license, joint venture, partnership, royalty agreement or similar agreement or other research, development, manufacturing or other commercial exploitation arrangement with respect to certain intellectual property and other property owned or controlled by Licensor (the “Licensed Property”) for the term and upon the conditions set forth therein; and

WHEREAS, Licensor has granted the Secured Party a security interest in some or all of the Licensed Property (the “Security Interest”) pursuant to that certain Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2014, among Licensor, the other grantors party thereto and Secured Party, as it may be amended (the “Security Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, Licensee has requested that Secured Party agree not to disturb any of Licensee’s rights with respect to the Licensed Property granted under the License Agreement (the “Licensee Rights”) in the event that upon an Event of Default (as such term is used in the Security Agreement), Secured Party takes possession of, sells, assigns, grants a license with respect to (other than licenses or sublicenses that Secured Party is authorized to grant in its capacity as a licensee pursuant to the Security Agreement or any other agreement with Licensor), or otherwise exercises its rights and remedies under the Security Agreement with respect to all or any portion of the collateral constituting Licensed Property (in each case, a “Foreclosure”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual benefits to accrue to the parties hereto, it is hereby declared, understood and agreed as follows:

1. To the extent consent is required under the Security Agreement or any other agreement between the Licensee and Secured Party, Secured Party consents to the License Agreement.

2. In the event of a Foreclosure, it is agreed as follows:

 

  (a) Any transfer of the Licensed Property to Secured Party or any other purchaser at Secured Party’s sale or other disposition (any such transferee of the Licensed Property, a “Successor Licensor”) shall be subject to and not free and clear of the Licensee Rights and none of the Licensee Rights shall be discharged, waived, modified, impaired or terminated solely as a result of such transfer of the Licensed Property.

 

  (b) Provided that Licensee is not in breach of the License Agreement, which breach would permit the Licensor to terminate the License Agreement and continues beyond any cure period provided therein, if any, neither Secured Party nor any Successor Licensor will disturb, diminish or interfere with the Licensee Rights, including, without limitation, any sublicenses granted or permitted to be granted thereunder.


  (c) Provided that Licensee is not in breach of the License Agreement, which breach would permit the Licensor to terminate the License Agreement and continues beyond any cure period provided therein, if any, Secured Party undertakes that it require, as a condition of the transfer of the Licensed Property that the Successor Licensor agree to ratify and perform all of Licensor’s duties and obligations to Licensee under the License Agreement with respect to Licensed Property and to be bound to Licensee under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the License Agreement with respect to such Licensed Property for the remaining balance of the term thereof, with the same force and effect as if Successor Licensor, as the case may be, were the Licensor under the License Agreement.

 

  (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Secured Party nor any Successor Licensor who acquires an interest in the Licensed Property or the License Agreement as a result of any such Foreclosure or other enforcement action or proceeding (the date on which the Secured Party, Successor Licensor, or such other party acquires such interest, hereinafter called the “Acquisition Date”) shall be (i) liable for any act or omission of Licensor under the License Agreement or otherwise or for any damages arising as a result of a breach of the License Agreement by the Licensor; (ii) liable for the return of any payments made by the Licensee to the Licensor under the License Agreement prior to the Acquisition Date; or (iii) required to perform or be liable for any affirmative obligations or covenants of the Licensor under the License Agreement, or liable for any of the representations or warranties of the Licensor under the License Agreement, or liable for any indemnities of the Licensor (other than, with respect to any Successor Licensor, any such obligations, covenants, representations or warranties or indemnities occurring, made or required to be performed after the Acquisition Date and any duties and obligations and terms, covenants and conditions assumed by such Successor Licensor pursuant to clause (c) above with respect to the remaining term of the License Agreement).

3. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.

4. This Agreement was prepared in the English language, which language shall govern the interpretation of, and any dispute regarding, the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.
