Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Investors’ Rights Agreement

Scale LP and other stockholders of the Issuer have entered into an Investors’ Rights Agreement dated April 1, 2010 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Issuer. Subject to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of shares having registration rights (“Registrable Securities”) can demand that the Issuer file a registration statement or request that their shares be covered by a registration statement that the Issuer is otherwise filing.

Requested Registration

At any time after the earlier of (i) March 31, 2014 or (ii) six months after the effective date of a Qualified IPO (as defined in the Investor Rights’ Agreement), any holder or holders who hold in the aggregate at least 30% of the Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) has the right to request that the Issuer file a registration statement covering the offering and sale of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $10,000,000. Upon receiving such demand, the Issuer, within 20 days of receiving such request, must give written notice of such request to all


holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to certain limitations, use reasonable efforts to cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that each such holder has requested to be registered within 20 days after the mailing of such notice by the Issuer.

The Issuer shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any such registration:

 

   

After the Issuer has initiated two such requested registrations;

 

   

During the period starting with the date ninety (90) days prior to the Issuer’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, a Issuer-initiated registration; provided that the Issuer is actively employing in good faith best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;

 

   

If the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities which may be immediately registered on Form S-3; or

 

   

If the Issuer shall furnish to the Initiating Holders a certificate stating that in the good faith judgment of the Issuer’s board of directors that it would be seriously detrimental to the Issuer and its stockholders for a registration statement to be filed, in which case the Issuer shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days; provided that the Issuer may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period, and provided that the Issuer may not register any securities for its account or that of any other stockholder during such 90-day period, subject to certain exceptions.

Company Registration

All parties to the Investor Rights Agreement may request to have their Registrable Securities included in a registration made by the Issuer. Under these provisions, if the Issuer registers any securities for public sale, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans, a registration on relating to a corporate reorganization or transaction pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act or a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon the conversion of debt securities, these stockholders will have the right to include their shares in the registration statement, subject to customary exceptions. The underwriters of any underwritten offering will have the right to limit the number of shares having registration rights to be included in the registration statement, provided that the number of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement may not be reduced below 30% of the securities included in such registration statement.

Form S-3

Holders of Registrable Securities shall have the right to request in writing registrations on Form S-3. The Issuer shall give notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of the receipt of a request for registration and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for other holders to participate in the registration. The Issuer will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect as soon as practicable the registration of all shares of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 to the extent requested by the holder or holders thereof for purposes of disposition; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be obligated to effect any such registration:

 

   

If Form S-3 is not available for such offering;

 

   

During the period ending one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Issuer;

 

   

In any particular jurisdiction in which the Issuer would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Issuer is already subject to service in such jurisdiction;

 

   

If the Issuer shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities a certificate stating that, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Issuer, it would be seriously detrimental to the Issuer and its stockholders for such a registration statement to be filed, in which case the Issuer shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 90 days; provided that the Issuer may not utilize this right more than once in any 12-month period;


   

If the holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Issuer entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) on Form S-3 at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000; or

 

   

If, in a given twelve-month period, the Issuer has effected two registrations on Form S-3 in such period.

Expenses of Registration

All registration expenses including fees and expenses of one special counsel to the holders of Registrable Securities, incurred in connection with registrations pursuant to a requested registration, an Issuer registration or an S-3 registration shall be borne by the Issuer; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to a requested registration or an S-3 registration if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the holders of at least 60% of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless (a) the withdrawal is based upon material adverse information concerning the Issuer of which the Initiating Holders were not aware at the time of such request or (b) the holders of at lease 60% of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration or one right to a S-3 registration. If the holders are required to pay the registration expenses, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities requesting such registration in proportion to the number of shares for which registration was requested.

Indemnification

The Investor Rights Agreement contains customary cross-indemnification provisions, pursuant to which the Issuer is obligated to indemnify the selling stockholders in the event of material misstatements or omissions in the registration statement attributable to the Issuer, and the selling stockholders are obligated to indemnify the Issuer for material misstatements or omissions attributable to them.

Termination

Shares of Common Stock cease to be Registrable Securities under the Investor Rights Agreement, and a stockholder party’s ability to initiate a request registration or inclusion in any registration rights terminates, upon the earlier of:

 

   

with respect to any Holder, at such time after the Qualified IPO as the Issuer’s Common Stock trades on a national securities exchange and Rule 144 or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Holder’s shares during a three-month period without registration and such Holder owns less than 1% of the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock; or

 

   

The fifth anniversary of the closing of a Qualified IPO.

Lock-up Agreement

Scale LP, along with all of the Issuer’s officers, directors, and holders of substantially all of the Issuer’s common stock, have agreed with the underwriters for the Issuer’s initial public offering, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of or hedge any of its common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock for a 180-day period ending on January 24, 2012 except with the prior written consent of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated.

FORM OF LOCK-UP AGREEMENT

May 28, 2011

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

Cowen and Company, LLC

JMP Securities LLC

As Representatives of the several Underwriters

c/o Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated

RE: Horizon Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”)

Ladies & Gentlemen:

The undersigned is an owner of record or beneficially of certain shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Shares”) or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares. The Company proposes to carry out a public offering of Shares (the “Offering”) for which you will act as the representatives of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”). The undersigned recognizes that the Offering will be of benefit to the undersigned and will benefit the Company by, among other things, raising additional capital for its operations. The undersigned acknowledges that you and the other Underwriters are relying on the representations and agreements of the undersigned contained in this letter agreement in carrying out the Offering and in entering into underwriting arrangements with the Company with respect to the Offering.

In consideration of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees that the undersigned will not, (and will cause any spouse or immediate family of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household not to), without the prior written consent of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion), directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell (including without limitation any short sale), pledge, transfer, establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise dispose of any Shares, options or warrants to acquire Shares, or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into Shares currently or hereafter owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by the undersigned (or such spouse or family member), or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing, for a period commencing on the date hereof and continuing through the close of trading on the date 180 days after the date of the Prospectus (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement relating to the Offering to which the Company is a party) (the “Lock-up Period”); provided, that if (i) during the last 17 days of the Lock-up Period, the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (ii) prior to the expiration of the Lock-up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the Lock-up Period, then in each case the Lock-up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless Stifel waives, in writing, such extension. The foregoing restrictions shall not apply to (1) in the case of a natural person, the transfer of any or all of the Shares owned by the undersigned, either during his or her lifetime or on death, by gift, will or intestate succession to the immediate family of the undersigned or to a trust the beneficiaries of which are exclusively the undersigned and/or a member or members of his or her immediate family, and (2) in the case of a non-natural person, distributions of any or all of the Shares held by the undersigned to general or limited partners or stockholders or members of the undersigned; provided, however, that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (1) or (2) above, it shall be a condition to such transfer or distribution that the donee, beneficiary, distributee or transferee executes and delivers to Stifel an agreement stating that he, she or it is receiving and holding the Shares subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, and there shall be no further transfer or distribution of such Shares, except in accordance with this letter


agreement; provided, further, that in the case of any distribution pursuant to clause (2) above, it shall be a condition to such distribution that no filing by any party under the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such distribution (other than a filing made after the expiration of the Lock-up Period (as such may have been extended pursuant to the terms of this letter agreement)). For the purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean the spouse, domestic partner, lineal descendant (including adopted children), father, mother, brother or sister of the transferor. In addition, notwithstanding the lock-up restrictions described herein, the undersigned may at any time after the date hereof (A) exercise any options or warrants to purchase Shares (including by cashless exercise to the extent permitted by the instruments representing such options or warrants); provided, however, that in any such case the Shares issued upon exercise shall remain subject to the provisions of this letter agreement, or (B) enter into a trading plan (a “New Plan”) meeting the requirements of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act relating to the sale of Shares, if then permitted by the Company and applicable law; provided that the Shares subject to such New Plan may not be sold during the Lock-Up Period. The undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees that written notice of any extension of the Lock-up Period pursuant to this letter agreement will be delivered by Stifel to the Company and that any such notice properly delivered will be deemed to have been given to, and received by, the undersigned.

The undersigned further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this letter agreement during the period from the date of this letter agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (1) Stifel, on behalf of the Underwriters, agrees that at least three business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of Shares, Stifel will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (2) the Company has agreed in the Underwriting Agreement to announce or cause to be announced such release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by Stifel hereunder to any such officer or director shall be effective no earlier than two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (i) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer of Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares that is not for consideration and (ii) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this letter agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of Shares or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Shares held by the undersigned except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

With respect to the Offering only, the undersigned waives any registration rights relating to registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any Shares owned either of record or beneficially by the undersigned, including any rights to receive notice of the Offering.

It is understood that, if (i) the Company notifies Stifel in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Offering, (ii) if the Underwriting Agreement is not executed by November 30, 2011; provided, however, that the Company may, by written notice to you prior to November 15, 2011, extend such date for a period of up to an additional three months, or (iii) if the Underwriting Agreement (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated for any reason prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, this letter agreement shall immediately be terminated and the undersigned shall automatically be released from all of his, her or its obligations under this letter agreement.

The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This letter agreement is irrevocable and 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.

This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
