Note Redemption Agreement (this “Agreement”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. Introduction. Reference is made to (i) that certain Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2014 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among Raptor Pharmaceutical Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Raptor Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Guarantor” and, together with Borrower, collectively, “Raptor”), Healthcare Royalty Partners II, L.P., HRCP Overflow Fund, L.P. and Molag Healthcare Royalty, LLC (each, a “Holder,” and together, the “Holders”) and (ii) that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Raptor, Horizon Pharma plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (“Parent”), and Misneach Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will commence a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of Raptor. Immediately following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into Raptor, with Raptor being the surviving corporation and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”, and, the date of such Merger, the “Merger Date”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Note Purchase Agreement.

2. Redemption. Subject only to the consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, immediately upon consummation of the Merger:

 

(a)

Each Holder hereby irrevocably agrees to tender to the Company the principal amount of Notes held by such Holder set forth opposite its name on Schedule A hereto (the “Tender”);

 

(b)

In exchange for the Tender by each Holder, the Company hereby irrevocably agrees to pay to such Holder a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) in the amount and to the account and pursuant to the wire instructions set forth opposite its name on Schedule A, which Redemption Price shall represent the entire outstanding principal amount, any Redemption Premium, all accrued and unpaid interest through and including the Merger Date and any other obligations due and payable in respect of the Notes (the payment of the Redemption Price together with the Tender, the “Redemption”); and

 

(c)

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree, (i) upon consummation of the Merger, all outstanding Notes issued and purchased under the Note Purchase Agreement shall have been redeemed pursuant to this Agreement and shall be cancelled and (ii) upon the Redemption, the Note Purchase Agreement shall be terminated and the Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations thereunder and under the Notes shall be satisfied and discharged.

Upon such Holder’s delivery of its Notes to the Company pursuant to the Redemption, such Notes shall be free and clear of all Liens created by such Holder.
