(l) No action shall have been taken and no statute, rule, regulation or order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any federal, state or foreign governmental or regulatory authority that would, at the time of purchase, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities; and no injunction or order of any federal, state or foreign court shall have been issued that would, at the time of purchase, prevent the issuance or sale of the Securities.
(m) The Securities shall have been made eligible for clearance and settlement through DTC.
(n) The Company shall have furnished to you such other documents and certificates as to the accuracy and completeness of any statement in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, other Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication and the Offering Memorandum as of the time of purchase as you may reasonably request.
(o) There shall exist no event or condition which would constitute a default or an event of default under the Securities or the Indenture.
7. Effective Date of Agreement; Termination. This Agreement shall become
effective when the parties hereto have executed and delivered this Agreement.
The obligations of the several Initial Purchasers hereunder shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, if (1) since the time of execution of this Agreement or the earlier respective dates as of which information is given in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, there has been any change or any development involving a prospective change in the business, properties, management, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, the effect of which change or development is, in the sole judgment of the Representative, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, or (2) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred: (A) a suspension or material limitation in trading in securities generally on the NYSE or the NASDAQ; (B) a suspension or material limitation in trading in the Company’s securities on the NASDAQ; (C) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities declared by either federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States; (D) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States or a declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war; or (E) any other calamity or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic conditions in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (D) or (E), in the sole judgment of the Representative, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the purchase and resale or the delivery of the Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in this Agreement, the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum, or (3) since the time of execution of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any downgrading, or any notice or announcement shall have been given or made of: (A) any intended or potential downgrading or (B) any watch, review or possible change that does not indicate an affirmation or improvement in the rating accorded any securities of or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization,” as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(62) of the Exchange Act.
If the Representative elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 7, the Company and each other Initial Purchaser shall be notified promptly in writing.
If the sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Securities, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Initial Purchasers for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Company is unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 4(i), 5 and 9 hereof), and the Initial Purchasers shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof) or to one another hereunder.
8. Increase in Initial Purchasers’ Commitments. Subject to Sections 6 and 7 hereof, if any Initial Purchaser shall default in its obligation to take up and pay for the Securities to be purchased by it hereunder (otherwise than for a failure of a condition set forth in Section 6 hereof or a reason sufficient to justify the termination of this Agreement under the provisions of Section 7 hereof) and if the number of Securities which all Initial Purchasers so defaulting shall have
agreed but failed to take up and pay for does not exceed 10% of the total number of Securities, the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers (including the Initial Purchasers, if any, substituted in the manner set forth below) shall take up and pay for (in addition to the aggregate number of Securities they are obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 1 hereof) the number of Securities agreed to be purchased by all such defaulting Initial Purchasers, as hereinafter provided. Such Securities shall be taken up and paid for by such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in such amount or amounts as you may designate with the consent of each Initial Purchaser so designated or, in the event no such designation is made, such Securities shall be taken up and paid for by all non-defaulting Initial Purchasers pro rata in proportion to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers in Schedule A.
Without relieving any defaulting Initial Purchaser from its obligations hereunder, the Company agrees with the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers that they will not sell any Securities hereunder unless all of the Securities are purchased by the Initial Purchasers (or by substituted Initial Purchasers selected by you with the approval of the Company or selected by the Company with your approval).
If a new Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers are substituted by the Initial Purchasers or by the Company for a defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers in accordance with the foregoing provision, the Company or you shall have the right to postpone the time of purchase for a period not exceeding five business days in order that any necessary changes in the Time of Sale Information and the Offering Memorandum and other documents may be effected.
The term “Initial Purchaser” as used in this Agreement shall refer to and include any Initial Purchaser substituted under this Section 8 with like effect as if such substituted Initial Purchaser had originally been named in Schedule A hereto.
If the aggregate number of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase exceeds 10% of the total number of Securities which all Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase hereunder, and if neither the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers nor the Company shall make arrangements within the five business day period stated above for the purchase of all the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed to purchase hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate without further act or deed and without any liability on the part of the Company to any Initial Purchaser and without any liability on the part of any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser to the Company. Nothing in this paragraph, and no action taken hereunder, shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement.
9. Indemnity and Contribution.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, its directors and officers, any person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and any “affiliate” (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) of such Initial Purchaser, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons,
from and against any and all loss, damage, expense, liability or claim (including the reasonable cost of investigation) whatsoever, as incurred, which, jointly or severally, any such Initial Purchaser or any such person may incur insofar as such loss, damage, expense, liability or claim arises out of, relates to or is based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 10 below.
(b) Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers, and any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and the successors and assigns of all of the foregoing persons, to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in subsection (a) of this Section 9, but only with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Initial Purchaser through you expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Initial Purchaser consists of the information described as such in Section 10 below.
(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or an Initial Purchaser (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 9, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and payment of all fees and expenses; provided, however, that the omission or failure to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability which such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party or otherwise. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such
Proceeding or the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, employed counsel to defend such Proceeding or such indemnified party or parties shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from, additional to or in conflict with those available to such indemnifying party (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 9(c), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 9 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any and all losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the
Initial Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total proceeds from the offering (net of the Initial Purchasers’ discounts and commissions but before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Securities. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Initial Purchasers on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Initial Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.
(e) The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities initially purchased by such Initial Purchaser for resale exceeds the amount of any damage which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of Securities they have agreed to purchase hereunder and not joint.
(f) The indemnity, reimbursement and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, its partners, directors, officers or members or any person (including each partner, officer, director or member of such person) who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the offer and resale of the Securities. The Company and each Initial Purchaser agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company, against any of the Company’s officers or directors in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in connection with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any of the Time of Sale Information, any Issuer Written Communication
or the Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
10. Information Furnished by the Initial Purchasers. The statements set forth in the ninth and tenth paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Offering Memorandum, only insofar as such statements relate to over-allotment and stabilization activities that may be undertaken by the Initial Purchasers, constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, as such information is referred to in Sections 3 and 9 hereof.
11. Notices. Except as otherwise herein provided, all statements, requests, notices and agreements shall be in writing or by telegram or facsimile and, if to the Initial Purchasers, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to Nomura Securities International, Inc., Worldwide Plaza, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: Head of Equity Capital Markets; and if to the Company, shall be sufficient in all respects if delivered or sent to the Company at TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: General Counsel, fax (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, with a copy to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, 400 Berwyn Park, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, fax (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Esq.
12. Governing Law; Construction. This Agreement and any claim, counterclaim or dispute of any kind or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement (“Claim”), directly or indirectly, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.
13. Submission to Jurisdiction. Except as set forth below, no Claim may be commenced, prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the adjudication of such matters, and the Company consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal service with respect thereto. The Company hereby consents to personal jurisdiction, service and venue in any court in which any Claim arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement is brought by any third party against any Initial Purchaser or any indemnified party. Each Initial Purchaser and the Company (on its behalf and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on behalf of its stockholders and affiliates) waive all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Company agrees that a final judgment in any such action, proceeding or counterclaim brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and may be enforced in any other courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject, by suit upon such judgment.
14. Parties at Interest. The Agreement herein set forth has been and is made solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers and the Company and, to the extent provided in Section 9 hereof, the controlling persons, partners, directors, officers, members and affiliates referred to in such Section, and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, personal representatives and executors and administrators. No other person, partnership, association or corporation (including a purchaser, as such purchaser, from any of the Initial Purchasers) shall acquire or have any right
under or by virtue of this Agreement.
15. No Fiduciary Relationship. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers are acting solely as initial purchasers in connection with the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities. The Company further acknowledges that the Initial Purchasers are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship created solely by this Agreement entered into on an arm’s length basis, and in no event do the parties intend that the Initial Purchasers act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Company, its management, stockholders or creditors or any other person in connection with any activity that the Initial Purchasers may undertake or have undertaken in furtherance of the purchase and sale of the Company’s securities, either before or after the date hereof. The Initial Purchasers hereby expressly disclaim any fiduciary or similar obligations to the Company, either in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions, and the Company hereby confirms its understanding and agreement to that effect. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any such transactions and that any opinions or views expressed by the Initial Purchasers to the Company regarding such transactions, including, but not limited to, any opinions or views with respect to the price or market for the Company’s securities, do not constitute advice or recommendations to the Company. The Company and the Initial Purchasers agree that the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Company and no Initial Purchaser has assumed, and none of them will assume, any advisory responsibility in favor of the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company on other matters). The Company hereby waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary, advisory or similar duty to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions.
16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed by the parties in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute one and the same agreement among the parties.
17. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers and the Company and their successors and assigns and any successor or assign of any substantial portion of the Company’s and any of the Initial Purchasers’ respective businesses and/or assets.

|
|
|
|
|
Initial Conversion Rate: |

|
|
|
|
|
Conversion Premium: |
|
Approximately 10% above the last reported sale price of our common stock on June 17, 2014. |
|
|
|
|
|
Interest Make-Whole Payment: |
|
On or after December 31, 2014, if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending within five trading days prior to a conversion date the last reported sale price of our common stock exceeds the applicable conversion price on each such trading day, we will, in addition to the other consideration payable or deliverable in connection with such conversion, make an interest make-whole payment to such converting holder equal to the sum of the present values of the scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the notes to be converted had such notes remained outstanding from the conversion date through the earlier of (i) the date that is three years after the conversion date and (ii) the maturity date if the notes had not been so converted. The present values of the remaining interest payments will be computed using a discount rate equal to 2%.
We will satisfy our obligation to pay any interest make-whole payment in shares of our common stock, without a cash payment in lieu of any fractional shares and without further obligation to deliver any shares of our common stock or pay any cash in excess of the threshold described in the succeeding paragraph. However, if we receive stockholder approval, we may pay any interest make-whole payment either in cash or in shares of our common stock, at our election.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, until we receive stockholder approval, the number of shares we may deliver in connection with a conversion of notes, including those delivered in connection with an interest make-whole payment, will not exceed 163.1321 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the conversion rate as set forth under “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
If we pay an interest make-whole payment in shares of our common stock, then the number of shares of common stock a holder will receive will be that number of shares that have a value equal to the amount of the interest make-whole payment to be paid to such holder in shares, divided by the product of the simple average of the daily VWAP of our common stock for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date multiplied by 92.5%.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if in connection with any conversion the conversion rate is adjusted as described under “Description of the Notes — Conversion Rights—Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon a Conversion in Connection With a Make-Whole Fundamental Change” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, then such holder will not receive the interest make-whole payment with respect to such note. |
|
|
|
|
|
Settlement Method: |
|
Upon conversion of a note, we will satisfy our conversion obligation by delivering shares of our common stock, together with a cash payment in lieu of any fractional share. However, if we receive stockholder approval, |
|
|
|
we will satisfy our conversion obligation by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof, at our election. See “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rights—Settlement upon Conversion” in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. |
|
|
|
|
|
Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness: |
|
As set forth under “Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness” in the attached Annex A, for so long as any notes are outstanding and except for permitted debt (as defined therein), we will not incur any Indebtedness (as defined therein) that is senior in right of payment to the notes (it being understood that secured Indebtedness shall not be deemed senior in right of payment simply by virtue of such security), nor will we permit any of our subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness. |
|
|
|
|
|
Restrictions on Liens: |
|
As set forth under “Restrictions on Liens” in the attached Annex A, we will not, and will not permit any of our subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien (as defined therein) on our or our subsidiaries properties or assets to secure Indebtedness (except for permitted liens (as defined therein)), without securing the notes and all other amounts due under the indenture equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Indebtedness secured by such lien until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such lien. |

The exact stock prices and effective dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
if the stock price is between two stock prices listed in the table or the effective date is between two effective dates listed in the table, the number of additional shares by which the conversion rate will be increased will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of additional shares set forth for the higher and lower stock prices and the earlier and later effective dates based on a 365-day year, as applicable;
if the stock price is greater than $11.00 per share (subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate; and
if the stock price is less than $6.13 per share (subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the stock prices set forth in the column headings of the table above), no additional shares will be added to the conversion rate.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the conversion rate exceed 163.1321 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, subject to adjustment at the same time and in the same manner as the conversion rate as described under “Description of the Notes—Conversion Rights—Conversion Rate Adjustments.”
Our obligation to increase the conversion rate for notes converted in connection with a make-whole fundamental change could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.

(1) In accordance with ASC 470-20, convertible debt that may be wholly or partially settled in cash (such as the notes offered hereby following stockholder approval) is required to be separated into a liability and an equity component, such that the interest expense reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt interest rate. Upon issuance, a debt discount is recognized as a decrease in debt and an increase in equity. The debt component accretes up to the principal amount over the expected term of the debt. ASC 470-20 does not affect the actual amount that we are required to repay, and the amount shown in
the table above for the notes is the aggregate principal amount of the notes, without reflecting the debt discount or fees and expenses that we are required to recognize or the portion of the notes that is expected to be accounted for as additional paid-in capital.
(2) The convertible notes may include embedded derivatives that are required to be segregated. This would not affect the actual amount that we are required to repay. The amount shown in the table above for the notes is the aggregate principal amount of the notes, does not reflect fees and expenses that we will be required to recognize and does not reflect the impact of any embedded derivatives.
(3) Excludes, as of March 31, 2014, (a) 3,166,976 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $5.48 per share; (b) 2,745,541 additional shares of common stock reserved for future issuance under our equity incentive plans, as well as any automatic increases in the number of shares of our common stock reserved for future issuance under those equity compensation plans; (c) 100,319 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants; and (d) the shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon conversion of the notes offered hereby.

ANNEX A
Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness
For so long as any notes are outstanding and except for permitted debt (as defined below), we will not incur any Indebtedness (as defined below) that is senior in right of payment to the notes (it being understood that secured Indebtedness shall not be deemed senior in right of payment simply by virtue of such security), nor will we permit any of our subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness.
As used in this section, the following terms have the following meanings:
“Capital lease” means any lease that is required to be capitalized for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP (with the amount of any indebtedness in respect of a capital lease being the capitalized amount of the obligations under such capital lease determined in accordance with GAAP).
“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. as in effect on the date of the indenture.
“Indebtedness” means, as to any person at a particular time, without duplication, all of the following, whether or not included as indebtedness or liabilities in accordance with GAAP:
(a) all obligations of such person for borrowed money and all obligations of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes, loan agreements or other similar instruments;
(b) all direct or contingent obligations of such person arising under letters of credit (including standby and commercial), bankers’ acceptances, bank guaranties, surety bonds and similar instruments;
(c) all obligations of such person to pay the deferred purchase price of property or services (other than trade accounts and accrued expenses payable in the ordinary course of business, obligations in respect of licenses and operating leases, payroll liabilities and deferred compensation and any purchase price adjustments, royalties, earn-out, milestone payment, and contingent payments of a similar nature in connection with any acquisition or license or collaboration agreement);
(d) indebtedness (excluding prepaid interest thereon) secured by a lien on property owned or being purchased by such person (including indebtedness arising under conditional sales or other title retention agreements but excluding trade accounts and accrued expenses payable in the ordinary course of business and licenses and operating leases), whether or not such indebtedness shall have been assumed by such person or is limited in recourse;
(e) all attributable indebtedness in respect of capital leases and synthetic lease obligations;
(f) all obligations in respect of redeemable equity; and
(g) all guarantees of such person in respect of any of the foregoing.
“Permitted debt” means, without duplication, each of the following:
(a) Indebtedness incurred by our subsidiaries outstanding on the closing date other than the Indebtedness otherwise specified under any of the other clauses of this definition of Permitted Debt, and any refinancing of such Indebtedness; provided that the principal amount of any such refinancing Indebtedness shall not exceed the principal amount of the Indebtedness being refinanced plus accrued and unpaid interest, prepayment, tender or other premiums and reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing;
(b) intercompany Indebtedness among us and any of our subsidiaries;
(c) Indebtedness incurred as a result of endorsing negotiable instruments received in the ordinary course of business;
(d) Indebtedness in respect of letters of credit, bank guarantees, surety or performance bonds and similar instruments issued for the account of any of our subsidiaries in order to provide security for (i) workers’ compensation claims, payment obligations in
connection with self-insurance or similar requirements, and (ii) bids, trade contracts, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds, performance bonds and obligations of a like nature;
(e) Indebtedness arising from agreements of any of our subsidiaries providing for the indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out, royalty, milestone or similar obligations, in each case assumed with the acquisition or disposition of any business;
(f) guarantees with respect to the notes;
(g) guarantees issued by any subsidiary of any our Indebtedness, in each case so long as (i) such indebtedness constitutes Permitted Debt or is otherwise incurred in compliance with this covenant and (ii) such subsidiary is a guarantor of the notes;
(h) Indebtedness (including Capital Lease obligations) of our subsidiaries incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of us or our subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 at any time outstanding;
(i) Indebtedness of our subsidiaries with respect to royalty payments in the ordinary course of business;
(j) Indebtedness of our subsidiaries with respect to milestone, performance payments and other similar payments made in the ordinary course of business pursuant to grants, licensing, collaboration, research funding and other similar agreements; and
(k) additional Indebtedness incurred by any of our subsidiaries in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed (when taken together with obligations secured by liens permitted by clause (n) of the definition of Permitted liens, without duplication if such obligations are the same Indebtedness) $10,000,000 at any one time outstanding.
“Redeemable equity” means any equity security of us or any of our subsidiaries that by its terms (or by the terms of any security into which it is convertible or for which it is exchangeable), or otherwise (including by the passage of time or the happening of an event), is required to be redeemed (or all or any portion of the liquidation preference thereof is required to be paid), is redeemable (or all or any portion of the liquidation preference is payable) at the option of the holder thereof in whole or in part (including by operation of a sinking fund), or is convertible or exchangeable for indebtedness of such person (with a scheduled maturity prior to the 91st day immediately following the maturity date of the notes) at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the 91st day immediately following the maturity date of the notes (other than upon the occurrence of a change of control or asset sale); provided, however, that only the portion of such equity security which is required to be redeemed (or in respect of which the liquidation preference or portion thereof is payable), is so convertible or exchangeable or is so redeemable at the option of the holder thereof before such date will be deemed to be redeemable equity. Redeemable equity will not include any common stock issued by us or our subsidiaries to our employees, directors or consultants that is subject to repurchase by us or our subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any employment agreement, equity incentive plan, benefit plan or other arrangement. The amount of redeemable equity deemed to be outstanding at any time for purposes of the indenture will be the maximum amount that we or our subsidiary may become obligated to pay upon the maturity of, or pursuant to any mandatory redemption provisions or provisions requiring payment of any portion of the liquidation preference, of, such redeemable equity or portion thereof, exclusive of accrued dividends.
For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted Debt above, we may in our sole discretion reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness.
Restrictions on Liens
We will not, and will not permit any of our subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any lien on our or our subsidiaries’ properties or assets to secure Indebtedness (except permitted liens), without securing the notes and all other amounts due under the indenture equally and ratably with (or prior to) the Indebtedness secured by such lien until such time as such Indebtedness is no longer secured by such lien.
“Lien” means, with respect to any property or other asset, any mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secure debt, lien (statutory or otherwise), pledge, hypothecation, assignment, charge, easement, security interest or encumbrance or other security agreement of any kind in respect of such asset, whether or not filed, recorded or otherwise perfected under applicable law, including any option or other agreement to sell or give a security interest in and any filing of or agreement to give any financing statement under the uniform commercial code (or equivalent statutes) of any jurisdiction; provided that in no event shall an operating lease be deemed to constitute a Lien.
“Permitted liens” means:
(a) Liens in favor of us or any subsidiary that is a guarantor of the notes;
(b) Liens on property (including capital interests) of a person existing at the time such person is merged with or into or consolidated with us or any of our subsidiaries, or becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of ours; provided that such liens were in existence prior to the contemplation of such merger or consolidation and do not extend to any assets other than those of the person merged into or consolidated with, or acquired by, us or our subsidiary;
(c) Liens on property (including capital interests) existing at the time of acquisition of the property by us or any of our subsidiaries; provided that (i) such liens were in existence prior to, such acquisition, and not incurred in contemplation of, such acquisition and (ii) such Liens do not extend to any property other than the property subject to such Liens on the date such property is acquired;
(d) Liens to secure the performance of statutory obligations, surety, environmental or appeal bonds, performance bonds or other obligations of a like nature incurred in the ordinary course of business and other Permitted debt incurred under clause (d) of the definition of Permitted debt;
(e) Liens to secure Indebtedness (including Capital lease obligations) represented by capital lease obligations, or mortgage financings, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of us or our subsidiaries, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $2,000,000 at any time outstanding, covering only the assets acquired with or financed by such Indebtedness;
(f) Liens existing on the date of the indenture;
(g) Liens created for the benefit of (or to secure) the notes, the additional notes or any note guarantee;

(j) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or claims that are not yet delinquent or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently concluded; provided that any reserve or other appropriate provision have been made in conformity with GAAP;
(k) Liens consisting of carriers’, warehousemen’s, landlord’s and mechanics’, suppliers’, materialmen’s, repairmen’s and similar Liens not securing Indebtedness or in favor of customs or revenue authorities or freight forwarders or handlers to secure payment of custom duties, in each case, incurred in the ordinary course of business;
(l) judgment and attachment Liens not giving rise to an Event of Default and notices of lis pendens and associated rights related to litigation being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been made in conformity with GAAP;
(m) leases and subleases of real property which do not materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of us or any subsidiary that do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or interfere with the ordinary conduct of the business of such Grantor; and

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a Lien meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Permitted liens above, we may in our sole discretion reclassify all or any portion of such Lien.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands that Nomura Securities International, Inc. (the “Initial Purchaser”) proposes to enter into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”), with respect to the purchase and resale (the “Offering”) of the Company’s Convertible Senior Notes (the “Securities”). The Securities will be convertible into common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company.
To induce the Initial Purchaser to continue its efforts in connection with the Offering, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser, the undersigned will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, contract to sell (including any short sale), grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, issuer-directed shares and shares of Common Stock of the Company which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned currently or hereafter in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant and any other security convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Common Stock (each of the foregoing referred to as a “Disposition”) during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until, and including, the date that is 90 days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”). The foregoing restriction is expressly intended to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Disposition during the Lock-Up Period even if the securities would be disposed of by someone other than the undersigned. “Hedging Transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including, without limitation, any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may transfer any or all of the shares of Common Stock or other Company securities if the transfer does not trigger any filing or reporting requirement or obligation or result in any other voluntary or mandatory public disclosure, including but not limited to a Form 4 required under Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (but excluding a Form 5 filed pursuant to such section), as amended, and is (i) by gift, will or intestacy, (ii) by distribution to
partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned, (iii) a transaction relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering or (iv) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Stock, provided that such plan does not provide for any transfers of Common Stock during the Lock-Up Period; provided, further, that in the case of any transfer pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall be a condition to the transfer that the transferee execute an agreement stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the securities subject to the provisions of this Lock-Up Agreement.
The undersigned agrees that the Company may, and that the undersigned will, (i) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the record holder, cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company and (ii) with respect to any shares of Common Stock or other Company securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial holder but not the record holder, cause the record holder of such securities to cause the transfer agent for the Company to note stop transfer instructions with respect to such securities on the transfer books and records of the Company.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the undersigned and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the closing of the Offering has not occurred prior to July 31, 2014, this Lock-Up Agreement shall be of no further force or effect.

EXHIBIT C
OFFICER’S CERTIFICATE
I, ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Chief Financial Officer of TetraLogic Pharmaceuticals Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certify that:
(i) I am familiar with the terms of all agreements relating to the indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries outstanding on the date hereof (each as may be amended as of the date hereof, collectively, the “Debt Agreements”). For the purpose of this certificate, I have reviewed in particular the obligations contained in the Debt Agreements and the events of default provided for by the Debt Agreements.
(ii) On the date hereof, there exists no event of default or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under the Debt Agreements.
(iii) The issuance by the Company of up to $47,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Securities pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named therein will not result in an event of default or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute an event of default under the Debt Agreements.
(iv) I am sufficiently familiar with the financial affairs of the Company by reason of my current position with the Company to make the statements contained in this certificate, which are based upon the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, the unaudited financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and other written statements, summaries, tabulations and computations, which I believe to be accurate, complete and reliable, made and furnished to me by employees of the Company in the regular course of their duty. I am also sufficiently familiar with the current financial condition and operating results of the Company and its subsidiaries that any material changes in the facts underlying the data relied upon by me in making this certificate occurring since the respective dates of such data would have come to my attention prior to the date hereof in the regular course of business.
(v) I have supervised the compilation of and reviewed the circled information contained in the attached Schedule A (the “Offering Memorandum Circled Information”), which is included in the Time of Sale Information (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) relating to the Offering. As of the date of the Purchase Agreement, the Offering Memorandum Circled Information: (i) matched or was accurately derived from the applicable internal accounting and/or financial records of the Company, as applicable, and/or (ii) was accurately derived from applicable internal records or schedules of the Company prepared by management of the Company.
