Credit Agreement
 
On September 17, 2019,  DSM Finance B.V. (“DSM Finance”), an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), pursuant to which DSM Finance has agreed to make available to the Issuer a secured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $8.0 million, to be issued in separate installments of $3.0 million, $3.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, with each installment being subject to certain closing conditions, including the payment of certain existing obligations of the Issuer to DSM Finance and the Reporting Persons. On September 17, 2019, the Issuer borrowed the first installment of $3.0 million under the Credit Agreement, all of which proceeds were used to pay certain existing obligations of the Issuer to DSM Finance and the Reporting Persons, and issued to DSM Finance a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million. On September 19, 2019, the Issuer borrowed the second installment of $3.0 million under the Credit Agreement, all of which proceeds were used to pay certain existing obligations of the Issuer to DSM Finance and the Reporting Persons, and issued to DSM Finance a promissory note in the principal amount of $3.0 million. On September 23, 2019, the Issuer borrowed the final installment of $2.0 million under the Credit Agreement, $1.5 million of which proceeds were used to pay certain existing obligations of the Issuer to DSM Finance and the Reporting Persons, and issued to DSM Finance a promissory note in the principal amount of $2.0 million. The promissory notes issued under the Credit Agreement (i) mature on August 7, 2022, (ii) accrue interest at a rate of 12.5% per annum from and including the applicable date of issuance, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning January 1, 2020, and (iii) are secured by a first-priority lien on certain intellectual property of the Issuer licensed to affiliates of the Reporting Persons. The Issuer may at its option repay the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement before the maturity date, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the amount being repaid plus accrued and unpaid interest on such amount to the date of repayment. In addition, the Issuer is required to repay the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (i) in an amount equal to the gross cash proceeds, if any, received by the Issuer upon the exercise by Reporting Persons of certain of the common stock purchase warrants held by the Reporting Person and (ii) in full upon the request of DSM Finance at any time following the receipt by the Issuer of at least $50.0 million of gross cash proceeds from one or more sales of equity securities of the Issuer on or prior to June 30, 2020. The Credit Agreement and the promissory notes contain customary terms, provisions, representations and warranties, including certain events of default after which the promissory notes may be due and payable immediately.
