(m) Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes, and each of them will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Terms used in this paragraph have the meanings given them by Regulation S.

 

(n) Each Note will bear a legend substantially to the following effect until such legend shall no longer be necessary or advisable because the Notes are no longer subject to the restrictions on transfer described therein:

(d) There shall not have occurred any invalidation of Rule 144A by any court or any withdrawal or proposed withdrawal of any rule or regulation under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act by the SEC or any amendment or proposed amendment thereof by the SEC which in the reasonable judgment of the Purchaser would materially impair the ability of the Purchaser to purchase, hold or effect resales of the Notes.

 

(e) The purchase of and payment for the Notes by the Purchaser hereunder shall not be prohibited or enjoined (temporarily or permanently) by any applicable law or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board).

 

(f) Each of the Transaction Documents shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser and shall have been executed and delivered by all the respective parties thereto and shall be in full force and effect.

 

(g) All proceedings taken in connection with the issuance of the Notes and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents and all documents and papers relating thereto shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.

8. Indemnification. (a) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and each subsequent holder of the Notes, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

 

-15-

(i) any untrue statement made by the Company in Section 2 of this Agreement;

 

(ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact made herein or in any Transaction Document; or

 

(iii) the breach of any covenant or agreement made herein or in any Transaction Document,

 

and will reimburse, as incurred, the Purchaser and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser or such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending against or appearing as a third-party witness in connection with any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. The Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Purchaser or any person who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act is a party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and such controlling persons from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

 

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such controlling person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any violation of the securities laws in connection with the Purchaser’s resale of the Notes.

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 8. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from, inconsistent with, or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties and such indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to defend such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. After notice from the indemnifying party to such

 

-16-

indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof and approval by such indemnified party of counsel appointed to defend such action, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses, other than reasonable costs of investigation, subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence or (ii) the indemnifying party does not promptly retain counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party or (iii) the indemnifying party has authorized the employment of counsel for the indemnified party at the expense of the indemnifying party. After such notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party, the indemnifying party will not be liable for the costs and expenses of any settlement of such action effected by such indemnified party without the consent of the indemnifying party.

 

9. Survival. The respective representations, warranties, agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements of the Company, its officers, and the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or made by or on behalf of them, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company, any of its officers or directors, the Purchaser or any controlling person referred to in Section 8 hereof and (ii) delivery of and payment for the Notes. The respective agreements, covenants, indemnities and other statements set forth in Sections 6 and 8 hereof shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

 

10. Termination. (a) This Agreement may be terminated with respect to the Notes in the sole discretion of the Purchaser by notice to the Company given prior to the Closing Date in the event that the Company shall have failed, refused or been unable to perform all obligations and satisfy all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior thereto or, if at or prior to the Closing Date:

 

(i) the Company or any of the Subsidiaries shall have, in the sole judgment of the Purchaser, sustained any material loss or interference with their respective businesses or properties from fire, flood, hurricane, accident or other calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, or from any labor dispute or any legal or governmental proceeding or there shall have been any material adverse change, or any development involving a prospective material adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, net worth, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

 

(ii) trading in the Company’s common stock shall have been suspended by the SEC or trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or minimum or maximum prices shall have been established on such exchange;

 

(iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by New York or United States authorities;

 

(iv) there shall have been (A) an outbreak or escalation of hostilities between the United States and any foreign power, (B) an outbreak or escalation of any other

 

-17-

insurrection or armed conflict involving the United States or (C) any other calamity or crisis or material adverse change in general economic, political or financial conditions having an effect on the U.S. financial markets that, in the sole judgment of the Purchaser, makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale and delivery of the Notes as of the date thereof; or

 

(b) Termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 6 and 8 hereof.

FORM OF INVESTMENT LETTER

FOR INSTITUTIONAL ACCREDITED INVESTORS

 

To: Bear ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co. Inc.

 

In connection with our proposed purchase of $             3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2006 (the “Notes”) of Immunomedics, Inc. (the “Company”), we confirm that:

 

2. We understand that any subsequent transfer of the Notes is subject to certain restrictions and conditions set forth in the Indenture relating to the Notes and the undersigned agrees to be bound by, and not to resell, pledge or otherwise transfer the Notes except in compliance with, such restrictions and conditions and the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

3. We understand that the offer and sale of the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, and that the Notes may not be offered or sold except as permitted in the following sentence. We agree, on our own behalf and on behalf of any accounts for which we are acting as hereinafter stated, that if we should sell or otherwise transfer any Notes prior to the date which is two years after the original issuance of the Notes, we will do so only:

 

(a) to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries,

 

(b) inside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act),

 

(c) inside the United States to an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2) (3) or (7) under the Securities Act) that, prior to such transfer, furnishes (or has furnished on its behalf by a U.S. broker-dealer) to the Trustee (as defined in the Indenture relating to the Notes), a signed letter containing certain representations and agreements relating to the restrictions on transfer of the Notes (the form of which letter can be obtained from the Trustee),

 

(d) outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act,

 

(e) pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another available exemption under the Securities Act (if available), or

 

(f) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,

 

and we further agree to provide to any person purchasing Notes from us a notice advising such purchaser that resales of the Notes are restricted as stated herein.

 

A-1

3. We are not acquiring the Notes for or on behalf of, and will not transfer the Notes to, any Benefit Plan.

 

4. We understand that, on any proposed resale of any Notes, we will be required to furnish to the Trustee and the Company such certification, legal opinions and other information as the Trustee and the Company may reasonably require to confirm that the proposed sale complies with the foregoing restrictions. We further understand that the Notes purchased by us will bear a legend to the foregoing effect.

 

5. We are an institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a)(l), (2), (3) or (7) of Regulation D under the Securities Act) and have such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of our investment in the Notes, and we and any accounts for which we are acting are each able to bear the economic risk of our or their investment for an indefinite period of time, as the case may be.

 

6. We are acquiring the Notes purchased by us for our account or for one or more accounts (each of which is an institutional “accredited investor”) as to each of which we exercise sole investment discretion.

 

You, the Company and the Trustee are entitled to rely upon this letter and are irrevocably authorized to produce this letter or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby.

Accordingly, the Purchaser represents and agrees that neither it, nor any of its affiliates nor any person acting on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes, and that it and they have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. The Purchaser agrees that, at or prior to the confirmation of sale of Notes (other than a sale of Notes pursuant to Section 4(a)(i) or (ii) of the Agreement to which this is an exhibit), it shall have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases Notes from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

 

“The Notes covered hereby have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Notes and [DATE], except in either case in accordance with Regulation S or Rule 144A under the Securities Act. Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.”

 

(b) The Purchaser also represents and agrees that it has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with any distributor with respect to the distribution of the Notes, except with its affiliates or with the prior written consent of the Company.

 

(c) Terms used in this section have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

As an inducement to the Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement and in satisfaction of a condition to the obligations of the Purchaser thereunder, the undersigned hereby agrees that, he or she will not, for a period of 30 days following the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any of the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) (or the economic interest in such shares through hedging arrangements, derivative transactions or otherwise) currently held by the undersigned (the “Lock-Up Shares”).

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the undersigned may transfer any Lock-Up Shares as follows: (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; or (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of any of the undersigned or the immediate family of any of them, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein. For purposes of this agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing shall prevent the undersigned from, or restrict the ability of the undersigned to (i) purchase shares of Company Common Stock on the open market or (ii) exercise any options or other convertible securities granted under any benefit plan of the Company.

 

2. The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement, and that, upon request, the undersigned will execute any additional documents reasonably necessary. 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.
