ITEM 1. BUSINESS:
Overview

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a pharmaceutical company focused on bringing innovative products to patients with unmet medical needs by leveraging our development and commercial expertise to invest in and grow our pharmaceutical products and product candidates across a range of therapeutic areas. Our currently marketed products support the health of patients in the areas of hematology and maternal and women’s health, including Feraheme® (ferumoxytol injection) for intravenous (“IV”) use, Makena® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection) auto-injector, Intrarosa® (prasterone) vaginal inserts and Vyleesi®(bremelanotide injection). In addition to our approved products, our portfolio includes two product candidates, AMAG-423 (digoxin immune fab (ovine)), which is being studied for the treatment of severe preeclampsia, and ciraparantag, which is being studied as an anticoagulant reversal agent. Our primary sources of revenue during 2019 were from sales of Feraheme, Makena, and Intrarosa.

In January 2020, we announced that we had recently completed a review of our product portfolio and strategy with the objective of driving near- and long-term profitability and enhancing shareholder value. Based on this strategic review, we are currently pursuing options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi. In addition, we also announced that William Heiden will be stepping down as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We expect that Mr. Heiden will remain at the company until the Board of Directors (the “Board”) appoints a new Chief Executive Officer.

Our common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”) under the trading symbol “AMAG.”

Feraheme

Overview

Feraheme received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in June 2009 for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD. In February 2018, the FDA approved a supplemental New Drug Application (“sNDA”) to expand the label to include all eligible adult IDA patients who have intolerance to oral iron or have had an unsatisfactory response to oral iron, in addition to patients who have CKD. With the expanded Feraheme label, we have seen and expect to continue to see increased utilization within hematology and oncology clinics and hospitals and may also see incremental usage with gastroenterologists. In 2019, sales of Feraheme accounted for approximately 51% of our total net revenues.

The expanded Feraheme label was supported by two positive pivotal Phase 3 trials, which evaluated Feraheme versus iron sucrose or placebo in a broad population of patients with IDA and positive results from a third Phase 3 randomized, double-blind non-inferiority trial that evaluated the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) and moderate-to-severe hypotension with Feraheme compared to Injectafer® (ferric carboxymaltose injection) (the “Feraheme comparator trial”). The Feraheme comparator trial demonstrated comparability to Injectafer® based on the primary composite endpoint of the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) and moderate-to-severe hypotension (Feraheme incidence 0.6%; Injectafer® incidence 0.7%). Adverse event rates were similar across both treatment groups; however, the incidence of severe hypophosphatemia (defined by blood phosphorous of <0.2 mg/dl at week 2) was less in the patients receiving Feraheme (0.4% of patients) compared to those receiving Injectafer® (38.7% of patients).

Iron Deficiency Anemia

Currently, there are two common methods of iron therapy used to treat IDA: oral iron supplements and IV iron. Oral iron is the first-line iron replacement therapy for most physicians. However, oral iron supplements are poorly absorbed and not well tolerated by some patients, which may adversely impact their effectiveness, and are associated with certain side effects, such as constipation, diarrhea, and cramping, that may adversely affect patient compliance in using such products. In addition, it can take an extended time for hemoglobin levels to improve following the initiation of oral iron treatment, and even then the targeted hemoglobin levels may not be reached. Conversely, iron given intravenously allows larger amounts of iron to be delivered to patients in a shorter time frame while avoiding many of the side effects and treatment compliance issues associated with oral iron, and can result in faster rises in hemoglobin levels. We believe that IV iron is underutilized in IDA patients, and thus a significant opportunity remains to grow the market for IV iron in this patient population.
IDA is prevalent in many different patient populations. For many of these patients, treatment with oral iron is unsatisfactory or is not tolerated. It is estimated that approximately five million people in the U.S. have IDA and we estimate that a small fraction of the patients who are diagnosed with IDA regardless of the underlying cause are currently being treated with IV iron. We estimate that the size of the total 2019 U.S. non-dialysis IV iron replacement therapy market was approximately 1.5 million grams, including patients with IDA due to CKD, chemotherapy-induced anemia and gastrointestinal diseases or disorders.

Chronic Kidney Disease: CKD is a progressive condition that leads to chronic and permanent loss of kidney function. It contributes to the development of many complications, including anemia, hypertension, fluid and electrolyte imbalances, acid/base abnormalities, bone disease and cardiovascular disease. Anemia, a common condition among CKD patients, is associated with cardiovascular complications, decreased quality of life, hospitalizations, and increased mortality. Anemia can develop early during the course of CKD and worsens with advancing kidney disease.

Cancer and chemotherapy-induced anemia: IDA is also common in patients with cancer, and it is estimated that 32% to 60% of cancer patients have iron deficiency, most of whom are anemic. Iron supplementation through both oral and IV administration plays an important role in treating anemia in cancer patients. While there may be some differences in the underlying causes of anemia and iron deficiency in cancer patients who are receiving chemotherapy and those who are not, patients in both categories may develop IDA due to blood loss and/or the inadequate intake or absorption of iron. Oral iron has been used to treat IDA in cancer patients, but its efficacy is variable due to inconsistent bioavailability and absorption, a high incidence of gastrointestinal side effects, potential interactions with other treatments, and patient noncompliance. IV iron has been shown in clinical trials to be well tolerated in the cancer patient population in both patients who are receiving chemotherapy and those who are not.


4




Gastrointestinal Disease: It is estimated that among IDA patients referred to gastroenterologists, the rate of gastrointestinal pathology was found to be approximately 40% to 80%. IDA in patients with gastrointestinal diseases is likely caused by blood loss and/or the inadequate intake or absorption of iron. Oral iron has been used to treat IDA in patients with gastrointestinal diseases, but its efficacy is variable due to inconsistent bioavailability and absorption, the high incidence of gastrointestinal side effects and patient noncompliance. IDA is especially an issue with patients who have inflammatory bowel disease, such as Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis. These patients have recurrent and chronic anemia. Guidelines published by the European Crohn’s and Colitis Organization emphasize the use of IV iron over oral iron unless the patient’s inflammatory bowel disease is stable and his or her anemia is mild.

Post-Approval Commitments for Feraheme

As part of our post-approval Pediatric Research Equity Act (“PREA”) requirement to support pediatric labeling of Feraheme for the treatment of CKD, we had initiated a randomized, active-controlled pediatric study of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA in pediatric CKD patients. During 2015, we suspended this trial due to difficulty in enrollment. Following discussions with the FDA, we amended the protocol and initiated a new pediatric study in 2018. Further, as part of our post-approval PREA requirement to support pediatric labeling of Feraheme for the treatment of IDA for the broader label, we have initiated a randomized, active-controlled pediatric study of Feraheme in pediatric patients with IDA. The final report submission for the IDA study is due to the FDA in November 2022. Both clinical studies are currently enrolling.
Makena

Overview
We acquired the rights to Makena in connection with our acquisition of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara Health”) in November 2014. Makena is indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women pregnant with a single baby who have a history of singleton spontaneous preterm birth. Makena is administered weekly by a healthcare professional with treatment beginning between 16 weeks and 20 weeks and six days of gestation and continuing until 36 weeks and six days of gestation or delivery, whichever happens first. The most common side effects of Makena include injection site reactions (pain, swelling, itching, bruising, or a hard bump), hives, itching, nausea, and diarrhea. We currently sell Makena primarily to wholesalers, specialty pharmacies and specialty distributors, which, in turn, sell Makena to healthcare providers, hospitals, government agencies and integrated delivery networks. In 2019, sales of Makena, including the Makena authorized generic, accounted for approximately 37% of our total net revenues.
Makena was approved by the FDA in February 2011 as an intramuscular (“IM”) injection (the “Makena IM product”) packaged in a multi-dose vial and in February 2016 as a single-dose preservative-free vial. In February 2018, the Makena auto-injector was approved by the FDA for administration via a pre-filled subcutaneous auto-injector, a drug-device combination product. In mid-2018, we launched our own authorized generic of both the single- and multi-dose vials (the “Makena authorized generic”) through Prasco, LLC (“Prasco”). As previously disclosed, based on manufacturing challenges and increased generic competition we no longer offer a branded IM presentation of Makena and in August 2019 we and Prasco determined it was not commercially viable to continue the relationship and mutually terminated our distribution and supply agreement, such that we no longer offer the Makena authorized generic. Further, as a result of the loss of substantial market share for the Makena IM product, in the second quarter of 2019 we revised our long-term Makena IM products forecast resulting in the recording of significant impairment charges related to the Makena IM products, as discussed in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.
In March 2019, we announced topline results from the Progestin’s Role in Optimizing Neonatal Gestation clinical trial (“PROLONG” or “Trial 003”), a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating Makena in patients with a history of a prior spontaneous singleton preterm delivery. The PROLONG trial was conducted under the FDA’s “Subpart H” accelerated approval process. The approval of Makena was based primarily on the Meis trial (“Trial 002”), which was conducted by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. In contrast to the Meis trial, the PROLONG trial did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo arms for the co-primary endpoints: the incidence of preterm delivery at less than 35 weeks (Makena treated group 11.0% vs. placebo 11.5%) and the percentage of patients who met criteria for the pre-specified neonatal morbidity and mortality composite index (Makena treated group 5.6% vs. placebo 5.0%). The adverse event profile between the two arms was comparable. Adverse events of special interest, including miscarriage and stillbirth, were infrequent and similar between the treatment and placebo groups. The PROLONG trial enrolled 1,708 pregnant women, over 75% of whom were enrolled outside the U.S.


5




On October 29, 2019, the Advisory Committee met to discuss the results of the PROLONG trial to inform the FDA’s regulatory decision for Makena. Following various presentations by experts and discussions at the meeting, the Advisory Committee voted as follows: (a) in response to the question “Do the findings from Trial 003 verify the clinical benefits of Makena on neonatal outcomes?”, 16 members voted “No” and no members voted “Yes”; (b) in response to the question “Based on the findings from Trial 002 and Trial 003, is there substantial evidence of effectiveness of Makena in reducing the risk of recurrent preterm birth?”, 13 members voted “No” and three members voted “Yes”; and (c) in response to the question, “Should the FDA (A) pursue withdrawal of approval for Makena, (B) leave Makena on the market under accelerated approval and require a new confirmatory trial, or (C) leave Makena on the market without requiring a new confirmatory trial?”, nine members voted for (A), seven members voted for (B) and no members voted for (C). The FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its Advisory Committees, but will take them into consideration in deciding what regulatory steps to take with respect to Makena. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we reassessed the fair value of assets related to the Makena auto-injector following the Advisory Committee meeting and recorded $59.1 million in impairment charges, as discussed in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

This complex and unique situation has no clear precedent and it is therefore difficult to predict outcomes or timing of any FDA actions with respect to Makena. We remain committed to working collaboratively with the FDA to seek a path forward to ensure eligible pregnant women continue to have access to Makena and the currently approved generics that rely on Makena as the innovator drug.

Preterm Birth

Makena is a progestin whose active ingredient is hydroxyprogesterone caproate (“HPC”), which is a synthetic chemical structurally related to progesterone. Progestins, such as HPC, and progesterone belong to a class of drugs called progestogens. Progestogens have been studied to reduce preterm birth and have shown varying results depending upon the subjects enrolled. The Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine (the “SMFM”) Publications Committee published clinical guidelines for the use of progestogens to reduce the risk of preterm birth in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in May 2012. SMFM reaffirmed their guidelines in January 2017, noting that vaginal progesterone should not be considered a substitute for HPC in women with a history of spontaneous preterm birth.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (the “ACOG”) published clinical guidelines for the “Prediction and Prevention of Preterm Birth” in Practice Bulletin #130 in October 2012. Following publication of the PROLONG trial, the ACOG issued a Practice Advisory stating that it “continues to recommend offering hydroxyprogesterone caproate as outlined in Practice Bulletin #130,” explaining that consideration for treatment of “women at risk of recurrent preterm birth should continue to take into account the body of evidence for progesterone supplementation, the values and preferences of the pregnant woman, the resources available, and the setting in which the intervention will be implemented.” The SMFM also released an updated statement, in which they noted it is still “reasonable for providers to use [HPC] in women with a profile more representative of the very high-risk population reported in the Meis study.” Notably, the SMFM agreed that “substantial differences in the populations studied likely account for the different baseline rates of recurrent [preterm birth] and potentially explain some of the contrasting results observed in the Meis and PROLONG studies.”

Preterm birth is defined as a birth prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (the “CDC”), preterm birth affected nearly 400,000 babies born in the U.S. in 2018, or one of every ten infants, with approximately 70% considered late preterm births. In the CDC’s June 2018 National Center for Health Statistics Report, it noted that the preterm birth rate rose in 2018 for the fourth straight year and attributed the rise primarily to an increase in late preterm births, defined as a birth between 34 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. In addition, the CDC noted that racial and ethnic differences in preterm birth rates remain. Although the causes of preterm birth are not fully understood, certain women are at a greater risk for preterm birth, including those who have had a previous preterm birth, are pregnant with multiples or have certain uterine or cervical problems. High blood pressure, pregnancy complications (such as placental problems) and certain other health or lifestyle factors may also be contributing factors. Makena is indicated only for use in women who have a history of singleton spontaneous preterm birth who are pregnant with a single baby, which accounts for approximately 130,000 pregnancies annually in the U.S.

Preterm birth can increase the risk of infant death and can also result in serious long-term health issues for the child, including respiratory problems, gastrointestinal conditions, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, and vision and hearing impairments. According to a 2007 report by the Institute of Medicine (US) Committee on Understanding Premature Birth and Assuring Healthy Outcome, the annual societal economic cost associated with preterm birth is at least $26.2 billion and includes medical and healthcare costs for the baby, labor and delivery costs for the mother, early intervention and special education services, and costs associated with lost work and pay.

In September 2018, we acquired the global rights to AMAG-423 for the treatment of preeclampsia and eclampsia in antepartum and postpartum women pursuant to an option agreement entered into in July 2015 (the “Velo Agreement”) with Velo Bio, LLC, a privately-held life sciences company (“Velo”). AMAG-423 is an antibody fragment currently in development for the treatment of severe preeclampsia in pregnant women and has been granted both orphan drug and Fast Track designations by the FDA. AMAG-423 is intended to bind to endogenous digitalis-like factors (“EDLFs”) and remove them from the circulation. EDLFs appear to be elevated in preeclampsia and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia though their inhibitory actions on Na+/K+-ATPase (the sodium pump). By decreasing circulating EDLFs, AMAG-423 is believed to improve vascular endothelial function and lead to better post-delivery outcomes in affected mothers and their babies.

We are currently conducting a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase 2b/3a study in which we expect to enroll approximately 200 antepartum women with severe preeclampsia between 23 weeks and 0 days and 31 weeks and six days gestation. The study is enrolling at sites both within the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Participants in the study receive either AMAG-423 or placebo intravenously four times a day over a maximum of four days. The study’s primary endpoint is to demonstrate a reduction in the percentage of babies who develop severe intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain), necrotizing enterocolitis (severe inflammation of the infant bowels) or death by 36 weeks corrected gestational age between the AMAG-423 and placebo arms. Secondary endpoints include the change from baseline in maternal creatinine clearance, maternal incidence of pulmonary edema during treatment and the period of time between treatment and delivery. In addition to these endpoints, information on both maternal as well as neonatal outcomes and complications related to preeclampsia and/or prematurity will be collected and analyzed. Severe preeclampsia presents challenges to enrollment as it is an extremely complex and dynamic condition; oftentimes, the patient needs be scheduled for immediate delivery. While we continue to work to obtain the necessary country approvals, opening new sites as well as implementing and optimizing strategies to enhance enrollment, the serious nature of the condition under study and the characteristics of the patient population make it difficult for us to predict the timing of enrollment completion.

Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a multi-system disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period and affects both the mother and baby. Preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and typically develops in women after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is characterized by elevated blood pressure, as well as vascular abnormalities, that can lead to end organ damage, intrauterine growth restriction and premature delivery. Premature delivery can lead to a number of serious health consequences for the infant, including intraventricular hemorrhage or necrotizing enterocolitis. Each year approximately 140,000 pregnant women in the U.S. are affected by preeclampsia, with approximately 50,000 impacted by severe preeclampsia, a more serious form of the condition that can be life threatening to both the mother and the baby. Severe preeclampsia can result in acute, as well as long-term, complications and a progressive deterioration in the clinical presentation for both the mother and the baby. There are currently no effective or FDA-approved treatments that address the underlying pathophysiology of preeclampsia or severe preeclampsia. Delivery of the baby is the only definitive way to prevent the progression of the condition and the development of further complications. Therefore, the management of severe preeclampsia is focused on medications to address the symptoms, such as antihypertensives for the urgent control of severe hypertension and magnesium sulfate for the prevention of seizures as well as early delivery of the baby. While oftentimes features of severe preeclampsia can be an indication for delivery, in centers that are well equipped to continuously monitor the status of the mother and the fetus, the physician may choose not to immediately deliver and practice expectant management instead. Expectant management refers to an approach whereby the patient with preeclampsia is managed in an inpatient setting through standard of care measures (including corticosteroids to promote fetal lung maturation) while at the same time constantly evaluating the dynamic risks and benefits by monitoring both the mother and the baby, with the goal of increasing the gestational age and improving neonatal outcome.

Ciraparantag

In January 2019, we acquired ciraparantag with our acquisition of Perosphere Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Perosphere”), a privately-held biopharmaceutical company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Perosphere Agreement”). Ciraparantag is a small molecule anticoagulant reversal agent in development as a single dose solution that is delivered intravenously to reverse the effects of certain NOACs (Xarelto®(rivaroxaban), Eliquis®(apixaban), and Savaysa®(edoxaban)) as well as Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium injection), a low molecular weight heparin (“LMWH”) when reversal of the anticoagulant effect of these products is needed for emergency surgery, urgent procedures or due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. Ciraparantag has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA.

Warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, was the first FDA-approved oral anticoagulant and for over 60 years was the only oral anticoagulant used in the U.S. Although warfarin is effective in the prevention of thromboembolism, its use necessitates frequent blood monitoring, dose adjustments and dietary restrictions. The first FDA-approved NOAC was Pradaxa®(dabigatran), which was introduced to the U.S. market in 2010. Since then Xarelto®, Eliquis® and Savaysa® were approved by the FDA as an alternative mechanism of action to warfarin in inhibiting the body’s ability to form blood clots. These NOACs offer similar efficacy to warfarin in reducing thromboembolism but are notably safer with respect to serious bleeding events and do not require monitoring for effectiveness.

The use of NOAC therapy represents the fastest-growing segment of the anticoagulant market in the U.S. with approximately six million patients in the U.S. and nine million patients in certain ex-U.S. countries currently on NOAC and LMWH therapy. In January 2019, the American Heart Association released updated guidelines recommending the use of NOACs over warfarin in the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation. Bleeding is the major complication of anticoagulant treatment, particularly for those patients coming in for emergency surgery or other urgent procedures. Approximately 1.5% to 2.0% of patients on NOACs are at risk for serious bleeding complications each year. Prior to 2015, there were no FDA-approved reversal agents for these anticoagulants. Currently, Praxbind®(idarucizumab) is approved for the reversal of Pradaxa® and Andexxa® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo) is approved for the reversal of Eliquis® and Xarelto® to treat uncontrolled bleeding in the U.S. as well as in Europe (under the trade name Ondexxya™).

Ciraparantag has been evaluated in more than 250 healthy volunteers across seven clinical trials. A first in human Phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of ciraparantag alone and following a single dose of Savaysa®, and another Phase 1 study evaluated the overall metabolism of the drug. Two Phase 2a studies evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects related to the reversal of unfractionated heparin and Lovenox® and three Phase 2b randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging studies evaluated the reversal of Savaysa®, Eliquis®, and Xarelto® to assess the safety and efficacy of ciraparantag, each of which included 12 subjects dosed with ciraparantag. In these Phase 2b clinical trials, ciraparantag or placebo was administered to healthy volunteers in a blinded fashion after achieving steady blood concentrations of the respective anticoagulant. Pharmacodynamic assessments of whole blood clotting time (“WBCT”), an important laboratory measure of clotting capacity, were sampled frequently for the first hour post study drug dose, and then periodically thereafter out to 24 hours post administration of study drug. Key endpoints in the Phase 2 trials included mean change from baseline in WBCT and the proportion of subjects that returned to within 10% of their baseline WBCT. Subjects in these studies experienced a rapid and statistically significant (p<0.001) reduction in WBCT compared to placebo as early as 15 minutes after the administration of ciraparantag in each of the four studies and the effect was sustained for 24 hours. Moreover, in both the Eliquis® and Xarelto® studies, 100% of subjects in the highest dose cohorts (180 mg of ciraparantag) were responders, as defined by a return to within 10% of baseline WBCT within 30 minutes and sustained for at least six hours. Ciraparantag has been well tolerated in clinical trials, with the most common related adverse events to date being mild sensations of coolness, warmth or tingling, skin flushing, and alterations in taste. There have been no drug-related serious adverse events to date.

We are planning to conduct a clinical study in healthy volunteers to confirm the proposed dose of ciraparantag to be used in the Phase 3 program, after reaching peak steady state blood concentrations of certain NOAC drugs. This proposed study will utilize an automated coagulometer developed by Perosphere Technologies, Inc. (“Perosphere Technologies”), an independent company, to measure WBCT. An investigational device exemption, which Perosphere Technologies will submit once the design of the healthy volunteer study is finalized, is required for use of the coagulometer in clinical studies. Over the past several months, Perosphere Technologies has completed additional analytic studies and we have continued to work with the FDA on the design of this next clinical study. Following the completion of this study, we plan to schedule an End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to discuss the design of the Phase 3 program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ciraparantag in the target patient population. We currently expect enrollment in the healthy volunteer study to be completed by the end of 2020, assuming our proposed protocol is acceptable to the FDA and that additional dose exploration is not needed.

In December 2019, we entered into a termination and settlement agreement with Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. to terminate a clinical trial collaboration agreement we acquired in connection with the Perosphere transaction. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we received $10.0 million in December 2019 as a termination payment from Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. In 2019, we also recognized $6.4 million of deferred revenue that we acquired from Perosphere related to the original agreement.

MuGard

We acquired the U.S. commercial rights to MuGard, a prescription oral mucoadhesive, under a June 2013 license agreement with Abeona (the “MuGard Rights”). We ceased selling MuGard at the end of 2019.

Collaboration, License and Other Strategic Agreements

We are currently a party to the following collaborations and other arrangements:

Velo

In September 2018, we acquired the global rights to AMAG-423. As part of the acquisition, in September 2018 we paid Velo an upfront option exercise fee of $12.5 million. We are obligated to pay Velo a $30.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of AMAG-423. In addition, we are obligated to pay sales milestone payments to Velo of up to $240.0 million in the aggregate, triggered at various annual net sales thresholds between $300.0 million and $900.0 million and low-single digit royalties based on net sales. Further, we have assumed additional obligations under a previous agreement entered into by Velo with a third party, including a $5.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of AMAG-423 and $10.0 million following the first commercial sale of AMAG-423, payable in quarterly installments as a percentage of quarterly gross commercial sales until the obligation is met. We are also obligated to pay the third party low-single digit royalties based on net sales.

Perosphere

In January 2019, we acquired Perosphere, a privately-held biopharmaceutical company focused on developing ciraparantag, a small molecule anticoagulant reversal agent. Pursuant to the Perosphere Agreement, in January 2019, we paid Perosphere approximately $50.0 million. In addition, we used available cash to repay $12.0 million of Perosphere’s term loan indebtedness and assumed approximately $6.2 million of Perosphere’s other liabilities. We are obligated to pay future contingent consideration of up to an aggregate of $365.0 million (the “Milestone Payments”), including (a) up to an aggregate of $140.0 million that becomes payable upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones for ciraparantag (the “Regulatory Milestone Payments”), including a $40.0 million milestone payment upon approval of ciraparantag by the European Medicines Agency and (b) up to an aggregate of $225.0 million that becomes payable conditioned upon the achievement of specified sales milestones (the “Sales Milestone Payments”). If the final label approved for ciraparantag in the U.S. includes a boxed warning, the Regulatory Milestone Payments shall no longer be payable, and any previously paid Regulatory Milestone Payments shall be credited against 50% of any future Milestone Payments that otherwise becomes payable. The first Sales Milestone Payment of $20.0 million will be payable upon annual net sales of ciraparantag of at least $100.0 million.

Antares

In connection with a development and license agreement (the “Antares License Agreement”) with Antares we have an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, to certain intellectual property rights, including know-how, patents and trademarks, to develop, use, sell, offer for sale and import and export the Makena auto-injector. Under the terms of the Antares License Agreement, as amended in March 2018, we are responsible for the clinical development and preparation, submission and maintenance of all regulatory applications in each country where we desire to market and sell the Makena auto-injector, including the U.S. We are required to pay royalties to Antares on net sales of the Makena auto-injector until the Antares License Agreement is terminated (the “Antares Royalty Term”). The royalty rates range from high single digit to low double digits and are tiered based on levels of net sales of the Makena auto-injector and decrease after the expiration of licensed patents or where there are generic equivalents to the Makena auto-injector being sold in a particular country. In addition, we are required to pay Antares sales milestone payments upon the achievement of certain annual net sales. The Antares License Agreement terminates at the end of the Antares Royalty Term, but is subject to early termination by us for convenience and by either party upon an uncured breach by or bankruptcy of the other party. See below under “Manufacturing” for a description of the manufacturing agreement entered into with Antares in March 2018.

Manufacturing

Overview

We do not own or operate facilities for the manufacture of our commercially distributed products or for our product candidates. We rely solely on third-party contract manufacturers and our licensors (who, in turn, may also rely on third-party contract manufacturers) to manufacture our products for our commercial and clinical use. Our third-party drug product contract manufacturing facilities, and those of our licensors, are subject to current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) and regulations enforced by the FDA through periodic inspections to confirm such compliance. We target to maintain, where possible, second source suppliers and/or sufficient inventory levels throughout our supply chain to meet our projected near-term demand for all of our products in order to minimize risks of supply disruption. We intend to continue to outsource the manufacture and distribution of our products for the foreseeable future, and we believe this manufacturing strategy will enable us to direct more of our financial resources to the commercialization and development of our products and product candidates.

To support the commercialization and development of our products, we have developed a fully integrated manufacturing support system, including quality assurance, quality control, regulatory affairs and inventory control policies and procedures. These support systems are intended to enable us to maintain high standards of quality for our products.

Feraheme

We are party to a commercial supply agreement with Sigma-Aldrich, Inc. (“SAFC”) pursuant to which SAFC agreed to manufacture and we agreed to purchase the API for use in the finished drug product of ferumoxytol for commercial sale as well as for use in clinical trials (as amended, the “SAFC Agreement”). Subject to certain conditions, the SAFC Agreement provides that we purchase all of our API from SAFC. The SAFC Agreement has an initial term that ends on December 31, 2020, which may be automatically extended thereafter for additional two year periods, unless canceled by us or SAFC within an agreed-upon notice period.

We are party to a pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply agreement with Patheon, Inc. (“Patheon”) pursuant to which Patheon agreed to manufacture ferumoxytol finished drug product for commercial sale and for use in clinical trials (as amended, the “Patheon Agreement”). The Patheon Agreement will continue in force until December 31, 2020. The Patheon Agreement may be terminated at any time upon mutual written agreement by us and Patheon or at any time by us subject to certain notice requirements and early termination fees. In addition, the Patheon Agreement may be terminated by either us or Patheon in the event of a material breach of the agreement by the other party provided that the breaching party fails to cure such breach within an agreed-upon notice period.

We have also entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with a second source supplier to produce ferumoxytol finished drug product in addition to Patheon, which second source supplier was approved by the FDA in 2019.

Makena

In June 2018, we entered into a commercial supply agreement with SAFC, Inc. (“SAFC Makena”) to supply us with API for use in the finished Makena product (the “SAFC Makena Agreement”). The SAFC Makena Agreement requires that we satisfy certain minimum purchase requirements, but we are not obligated to use SAFC Makena as our sole supplier of Makena API. The SAFC Makena Agreement expires on June 4, 2021 and may be automatically extended thereafter for additional two year periods, unless canceled by us or SAFC Makena within an agreed-upon notice period. The SAFC Makena Agreement may be terminated by either us or SAFC Makena in the event of a material breach of the agreement by the other party provided that the breaching party fails to cure such breach within an agreed-upon notice period or insolvency by either party.

In June 2017, we entered into a product supply agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) (Kalamazoo facility) to supply us with the API for use in the finished Makena product (the “Pfizer API Agreement”). The Pfizer API Agreement requires that we satisfy certain minimum purchase requirements but we are not obligated to use Pfizer as our sole supplier of Makena API. The Pfizer API Agreement expires on June 1, 2020 and may be extended thereafter for additional one year periods upon mutual agreement of the parties, unless canceled by us or Pfizer within an agreed-upon notice period. The Pfizer API Agreement may be terminated by either us or Pfizer in the event of an uncured material breach by or insolvency of the other party.


10




In September 2018, we entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with Fresenius Kabi Austria GmbH (“Fresenius”) to manufacture the pre-filled syringes used in the Makena auto-injector product (the “Fresenius Agreement”). The Fresenius Agreement requires that we satisfy certain minimum purchase requirements, but we are not obligated to use Fresenius as our sole supplier of pre-filled syringes. The Fresenius Agreement will continue for a set period of time, including mutually agreed upon additional renewals, but may be terminated by either us or Fresenius in the event of an uncured material breach by or insolvency of the other party, by Fresenius if we undergo a change of control to a competitor of Fresenius or by us if Fresenius fails to obtain or maintain any material government licenses or approvals.

Antares is the exclusive supplier for the auto-injection devices needed for the Makena auto-injector. In March 2018, we entered into the Antares Manufacturing Agreement that sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Antares agreed to sell to us on an exclusive basis, and we agreed to purchase, the fully packaged Makena auto-injector for commercial distribution. Antares is responsible for the manufacture and supply of the device components and assembly of the Makena auto-injector and we are responsible for the supply of the Makena drug substance in pre-filled syringes to be used in the assembly of the finished auto-injector product. The Antares Manufacturing Agreement terminates at the expiration or earlier termination of the Antares License Agreement, but is subject to early termination by us for certain supply failure situations, and by either party upon an uncured breach by or bankruptcy of the other party or our permanent cessation of commercialization of the Makena auto-injector for efficacy or safety reasons.

Products in Development

We are party to an exclusive agreement with Protherics UK Ltd, a subsidiary of BTG plc (“BTG”), for the manufacture of AMAG-423 drug substance for use in the AMAG-423 commercial product (the “BTG Agreement”). BTG has also agreed to supply drug product for our current ongoing clinical trial. BTG owns the rights to digoxin immune fab (ovine), the active ingredient of AMAG-423, which has been marketed in the U.S. for many years as an FDA-approved treatment for patients with life-threatening or potentially life-threatening digoxin toxicity or overdose. Under the terms of the BTG Agreement, we are required to differentiate our product from their product, DigiFab®, including without limitation, via labeling, dosage and/or formulation and if we are unable to show differentiation, we may be in breach of the agreement, which could give BTG the right to terminate the agreement and subject us to penalties. In addition, the BTG Agreement provides that we satisfy certain minimum purchase requirements. We will need to enter into one or more additional agreements to manufacture AMAG-423 drug product, especially if it is approved and we need to meet commercial demand.

We have also assumed a commercial supply agreement with PolyPeptide Group for the supply of ciraparantag drug substance. We will need to enter into an additional agreement to manufacture ciraparantag drug product, especially if it is approved and we need to meet commercial demand.

Raw Materials

We, our licensors and our respective third-party manufacturers currently purchase certain raw and other materials used to manufacture our products from third-party suppliers. Although certain of our raw or other materials are readily available, others may be obtained only from qualified suppliers. The qualification of an alternative source may require repeated testing of the new materials and generate greater expenses to us or our licensors if materials that we test do not perform in an acceptable manner. In addition, we, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers sometimes obtain raw or other materials from one vendor only, even where multiple sources are available, to maintain quality control and enhance working relationships with suppliers, which could make us susceptible to price inflation by the sole supplier, thereby increasing our production costs. As a result of the high-quality standards imposed on our raw or other materials, we, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers may not be able to obtain such materials of the quality required to manufacture our products from an alternative source on commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, if at all.

Patents, Trademarks and Trade Secrets

We consider the protection of our technology to be material to our business. Because of the substantial length of time and expense associated with bringing new products through development and regulatory approval to the marketplace, we place considerable importance on obtaining patent protection and maintaining trade secret protection for our products and product candidates. Our success depends, in large part, on our ability, and the ability of our licensors, collaborators and other business partners to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology and other trade secrets. To do so, we must prosecute and maintain existing patents, obtain new patents and ensure trade secret protection. We must also operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties or allowing third parties to infringe our rights. Our policy is to aggressively protect our competitive technology position by a variety of means, including applying for or obtaining rights to patents in the U.S. and in foreign countries.

One of our U.S. Feraheme patents received a patent term extension under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, as amended, (the “Hatch-Waxman Act”) and will expire in June 2023, and the other U.S. patents relating to Feraheme will expire in 2020. In addition, in March 2018, we and Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) entered a stipulation of dismissal pursuant to a settlement agreement that dismissed and resolved a patent infringement suit regarding an abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”) submitted to the FDA by Sandoz. According to the terms of the settlement, if Sandoz receives FDA approval of its ANDA by a certain date, Sandoz may launch its generic version of Feraheme on July 15, 2021, or earlier under certain circumstances customary for settlement agreements of this nature. Sandoz will pay a royalty on the sales of its generic version of Feraheme to us until the expiration of the last Feraheme patent listed in the Orange Book. If Sandoz is unable to secure approval by such date, Sandoz will launch an authorized generic version of Feraheme supplied by us on July 15, 2022 for up to 12 months. Sandoz’s right to distribute, and our obligation to supply, the authorized generic product shall be in accordance with standard commercial terms and profit splits.

Our U.S. patents related to the Makena auto-injector product will expire in 2036, and we have a pending patent application related to the Makena auto-injector product. In addition, we have a license to several U.S. patents and patent applications from Antares related to the Makena auto-injector device and drug-device combination with expiration dates between 2026 and 2034. Our issued patent and Antares’ eligible patents are listed in the Orange Book for the Makena auto-injector product.

Under the terms of the Velo Agreement, we obtained four issued U.S. patents covering methods of using AMAG-423 to treat women exhibiting symptoms of preeclampsia or eclampsia, each of which expires in November 2022, and several corresponding foreign patents that expire in 2023. Digoxin immune fab (ovine), the active ingredient of AMAG-423, has been approved and marketed in the U.S. for many years for a different indication and no longer has composition of matter patent protection. Accordingly, we do not have and will not be able to obtain composition of matter patent protection for AMAG-423. AMAG-423 has been granted orphan drug designation by the FDA and, if approved, we expect it to receive seven years of marketing exclusivity.

Additionally, under the terms of the Perosphere Agreement, we obtained two issued U.S. patents and several foreign patents related to ciraparantag. One U.S. patent includes claims directed to the ciraparantag drug composition of matter with a term that expires in 2034, and the other U.S. patent includes claims directed to methods of using ciraparantag to reverse the anticoagulation effect of certain coagulation inhibitors with a term that expires in 2032. All of the foreign patents expire in 2032. Either of the issued U.S. patents may be granted up to five years of patent term extension (up to a maximum patent term of 14 years after regulatory approval) pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act. Whether either of these U.S. patents will be granted patent term extension under the Hatch-Waxman Act and the length of any such extension cannot be determined until a product covered by such patents receives FDA approval.

With regard to pending patent applications we own or have rights to, even though further patents may be issued on such applications, we cannot be sure that any such patents will be issued on a timely basis, if at all, or with a scope that provides our products with additional protection. The claims of issued patents related to any of our products may not provide meaningful protection for the product, and third parties may challenge the validity or scope of any such issued patents. Additionally, the claims of our issued patents may be narrowed or invalidated by administrative proceedings, such as interference or derivation, inter partes review, post grant review or reexamination proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, existing or future patents of third parties may limit our ability to commercialize our products.

We also have numerous U.S. and foreign trademark registrations directed to our corporate and affiliate names, as well as our products and compliance programs. These marks help to further distinguish our products and enhance our overall intellectual property position.

Competition
The pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Our existing or potential competitors for all our products have or may develop products that are more widely accepted than ours, are viewed as more safe, effective, convenient or easier to administer, have been on the market longer and have stronger patient/provider loyalty, have been approved for a larger patient population, are less expensive or offer more attractive insurance coverage, discounts, reimbursements, incentives or rebates and may have or receive patent protection that dominates, blocks, makes obsolete or adversely affects our product development or business.

Feraheme

Many of our competitors for Feraheme are large, well-known pharmaceutical companies and may benefit from significantly greater financial, sales and marketing capabilities, greater technological or competitive advantages, and other resources.

Feraheme currently competes primarily with the following IV iron replacement therapies for the treatment of IDA:

Injectafer®, a ferric carboxymaltose injection, which is approved to treat IDA in adult patients who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron. Injectafer® is also indicated for IDA in adult patients with non-dialysis dependent CKD. Injectafer® is marketed in the U.S. by American Regent, the same distributor of Venofer®;

Venofer®, an iron sucrose complex, which is approved for use in hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, non-dialysis dependent CKD patients and pediatric CKD patients and is marketed in the U.S. by Fresenius Medical Care North America and American Regent, Inc. (“American Regent”), a subsidiary of Luitpold Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a business unit of Daiichi Sankyo Group);

A generic version of Ferrlecit® marketed by Teva Pharmaceuticals, Inc.;

INFeD®, an iron dextran product marketed by Allergan, Inc. which is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of patients with documented iron deficiency in whom oral iron administration is unsatisfactory or impossible;

Ferrlecit®, a sodium ferric gluconate, which is marketed by Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, is approved for use only in hemodialysis patients; and

Auryxia®(ferric citrate), an oral phosphate binder, which is marketed by Akebia Therapeutics, Inc., is approved in the U.S. for the treatment of IDA in adult patients with CKD not on dialysis.

In addition to the currently marketed products described above, in the future Feraheme will likely compete with Monoferric™ (iron isomaltoside 1000 for injection) (global brand name Monofer®), which is marketed by Pharmacosmos A/S in over 30 countries outside the U.S., including Canada. In January 2020, Monoferric® (ferric derisomaltose) injection 100 mg/mL was approved by the FDA for the treatment of IDA in adult patients who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron or who have non-hemodialysis dependent CKD. Monoferric® can be administered in a single-dose 1,000 mg infusion and does not have a boxed warning, which healthcare providers or patients may prefer over multi-dose products with a boxed warning like Feraheme. We are aware that American Regent filed a lawsuit in February 2020 against Pharmacosmos alleging that Monoferric® infringes two of American Regent’s patents. In addition, there are several hypoxia inducible factor stabilizers in various stages of development to treat anemia related to CKD that could potentially compete with Feraheme in the future, a number of which are currently in Phase III trials.

Companies that manufacture generic products typically invest far fewer resources in research and development than the manufacturers of branded products and can therefore price their products significantly lower than those branded products already on the market. Therefore, competition from generic IV iron products could limit our sales. Feraheme may face future competition from generic IV iron replacement therapy products. For example, under our settlement agreement with Sandoz, if Sandoz receives FDA approval by a certain date, Sandoz may launch its generic version of Feraheme on July 15, 2021. If Sandoz is unable to secure approval by such date, Sandoz may launch an authorized generic version of Feraheme on July 15, 2022 for up to twelve months.

Based on sales data provided to us by IQVIA Holdings Inc. (“IQVIA”), we estimate that the size of the total 2019 U.S. non-dialysis IV iron replacement therapy market was approximately 1.5 million grams, which represents an increase of approximately12% over 2018. Based on this IQVIA data, the following represents the 2019 and 2018 U.S. market share allocation of the total non-dialysis IV iron market based on the volume of IV iron administered:
 
2019 U.S. Non-dialysis IV Iron Market

The market share data listed in the table above is not necessarily indicative of the market shares in dollars due to the variations in selling prices among the IV iron products.

Makena

Makena competition currently comes mainly from generic formulations of HPC injections as well as from pharmacies that compound a non-FDA approved version of Makena. Currently, there are five generic versions of Makena, sold as 1ml and/or 5ml IM vials and no generic auto-injector products. We expect to face additional competition for Makena from future generic products as well as potentially from products currently in development that offer alternative formulations or routes of administration, such as an oral HPC product.

Based on IQVIA data and internal analytics, we estimate that in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Makena auto-injector made up approximately 63% of the total prescriptions written for all FDA-approved HPC products. In addition to FDA-approved products for the approved indication, other at-risk patients are treated with compounded formulations of HPC or other therapies, such as vaginal progesterone, which are not approved for women pregnant with a single baby with a prior history of singleton spontaneous preterm birth. Given the current uncertainty of Makena, healthcare providers may utilize these alternatives with increasing frequency.

Ciraparantag

Currently, we expect ciraparantag, if approved, will compete primarily with Andexxa® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo), which was approved in 2018 in the U.S. and in 2019 in Europe (under the trade name Ondexxya™) for the reversal of Eliquis® and Xarelto® for patients treated with Eliquis® and Xarelto®, when reversal of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. Andexxa® is also in development for the reversal of Savaysa® and Lovenox®. Ciraparantag is in development as an anticoagulant reversal agent to reverse the effects of Eliquis®, Xarelto®, Savaysa® and Lovenox®. Based on clinical data to date, we expect that ciraparantag will be a ready-to-use product with the potential to be stored at room temperature and to be administered at a fixed dose for the NOACs and LMWH being studied.

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Feraheme

We sell Feraheme to authorized wholesalers and specialty distributors who, in turn, sell Feraheme to healthcare providers who administer Feraheme primarily within hospitals and hematology and oncology clinics. Since many hospitals and hematology and oncology practices are members of GPOs, which leverage the purchasing power of a group of entities to obtain discounts based on the collective bargaining power of the group, we also routinely enter into pricing agreements with GPOs in these markets so the members of the GPOs have access to Feraheme and to the related discounts or rebates.


14




Our sales and marketing organization uses a variety of common pharmaceutical marketing strategies and methods to promote Feraheme, including sales calls to purchasing entities, such as hospitals and hematology and oncology clinics, in addition to individual physicians or other healthcare professionals, medical education symposia, promotional materials, local and national educational programs, and scientific meetings and conferences. In addition, we provide customer service and other related programs for Feraheme, including prescription coverage information support services, a patient assistance program for eligible uninsured or functionally under-insured patients and a customer service call center.

Makena

Makena prescriptions are dispensed via the payer-preferred pharmacy networks or purchased directly by hospitals, government agencies and integrated delivery networks. Our sales and marketing teams use a variety of strategies and focused, multi-channel methods to promote Makena, including dedicating a managed care team to focus on health plans, including commercial payers, pharmacy benefit managers, and managed Medicaid plans as well as fee-for-service Medicaid programs.

In addition, we offer customer support through the Makena Care Connection, which is designed to help navigate each individual patient’s needs throughout the Makena prescription process, including confirming insurance coverage, providing education and support on prior authorizations (when applicable), and working in collaboration with a payer-preferred pharmacy and home health agency to help ensure timely initiation of therapy. The Makena Care Connection also screens eligible patients for and enrolls eligible patients in financial assistance programs including (a) our copay savings program, which helps lower the out-of-pocket cost for commercially insured patients whose plan covers Makena, and (b) our patient assistance program, which provides a full course of therapy at no cost to eligible uninsured and commercially underinsured patients. Additionally, the Makena Care Connection offers education and adherence support to eligible patients to assist with increasing patient compliance by encouraging adherence to the weekly Makena injection schedule. 

Product Supply Chain
We outsource a number of our product supply chain services for our products to third-party logistics providers, including services related to warehousing and inventory management, distribution, chargeback processing, accounts receivable management, sample distribution to our sales force and customer service call center management.

Government Regulation
Overview
Our activities are subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the U.S. The Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), FDA regulations and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the research and development, approval, label, post-approval monitoring and reporting of adverse events, manufacturing, quality control, recordkeeping, storage, distribution, and advertising and promotional labeling of pharmaceutical and biological products and medical devices.
Failure to comply with any of the applicable U.S. requirements may result in a variety of administrative or judicially imposed sanctions including, among other things, the regulatory agency’s refusal to approve pending applications, suspension, variations or withdrawals of approval, clinical holds, “warning” or “untitled” letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of operations, injunctions, fines, civil penalties, or criminal prosecution.

Product Development and Approval Process
Clinical Development
Before we may market a new product, we must obtain FDA approval of a New Drug Application (“NDA”) for a drug product or a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for a biologic, such as AMAG-423. The FDA may approve an NDA or BLA if, among other requirements, the safety and efficacy of the drug candidate can be established based on the results of preclinical and clinical studies.
Preclinical studies include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and formulation, as well as in vitro and animal studies to assess the potential for adverse events and in some cases to establish a rationale for therapeutic use. The conduct of preclinical studies is subject to federal regulations and requirements, including good laboratory practice regulations.
Clinical trials involve the administration of the investigational new drug to human subjects under the supervision of qualified investigators in accordance with good clinical practices (“GCPs”), which include the requirement that all research subjects provide their informed consent for their participation in any clinical testing. Prior to beginning a clinical trial, an investigational new drug application (an “IND”), which is a request for authorization from the FDA to administer an investigational new drug to humans in clinical trials, must be submitted to the FDA and must become effective. A protocol for each clinical trial and any subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND application. Additionally, approval must also be obtained from each clinical trial site’s institutional review board (“IRB”), before any trials may be initiated, and the IRB must monitor the trial until completed. Additional ongoing regulatory requirements apply throughout the course of a clinical trial, including requirements governing the reporting of certain ongoing clinical trials and clinical trial results to public registries.

Clinical testing typically proceeds in three phases, which may overlap or be combined. Phase 1 trials seek to collect initial data about safety, tolerability, and optimal dosing of the investigational product in healthy human subjects or, less commonly, in patients with the target disease or condition. The goal of Phase 2 trials is to provide preliminary evidence about the desired therapeutic efficacy of the investigational product in limited studies with small numbers of carefully selected subjects with the target disease or condition. Phase 3 trials generally consist of expanded, large-scale, randomized, double-blind, multi-center studies of the safety and efficacy of the product in the target patient population and are used as the primary basis for regulatory approval.

Submission and FDA Review of NDAs, sNDAs, BLAs and sBLAs

Following the successful completion of clinical trials, the sponsor submits the results to the FDA as part of an NDA or BLA. The NDA or BLA must also include the results of preclinical tests and studies, as the FDA requires submission of all relevant data available from pertinent nonclinical studies and clinical trials, as well as, among other required information, information related to the preparation and manufacturing of the drug or biologic candidate, analytical methods, and proposed packaging and labeling. Pursuant to agreements reached during reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”), the FDA has a goal of acting on most original NDAs and BLAs within six months or ten months of the application submission or filing date (the FDA conducts a preliminary review of all NDAs and BLAs within the first 60 days after submission before accepting them for filing), depending on the nature of the drug. Once the NDA or BLA submission has been accepted for filing (60 days post receipt of the application by the FDA, if at all), the FDA typically takes ten months to review the application and respond to the applicant. The review process may be extended by FDA requests for additional information or clarification. The FDA may delay or refuse approval of an NDA or BLA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, require additional testing or information and/or require post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor safety or efficacy of a product.

The FDA may also refer the application to an advisory committee for review, evaluation, and recommendation as to whether the application should be approved. Typically, an advisory committee is a panel of independent experts, including clinicians and other scientific experts. The FDA can also call an advisory committee at other times and for other purposes, such as to discuss the results of post-approval studies. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.


16




If the FDA’s evaluations of the NDA or BLA and of the sponsor’s manufacturing facilities are favorable, the FDA will issue an approval letter, and the sponsor may begin marketing the drug for the approved indications, subject to any post-approval requirements, described further below. If the FDA determines it cannot approve the NDA or BLA in its current form, it will issue a complete response letter indicating that the application will not be approved in its current form. The complete response letter usually describes the specific deficiencies that the FDA identified in the application and may require additional clinical or other data or impose other conditions that must be met in order to obtain approval of the NDA of BLA. Addressing the deficiencies noted by the FDA could be impractical, and it is possible that the sponsor could withdraw its application or approval may not be obtained or may be costly and may result in significant delays prior to approval.

Where a sponsor wishes to expand the originally approved prescribing information, such as adding a new indication, it must submit and obtain approval of an sNDA or supplemental BLA (“sBLA”). Changes to an indication generally require additional clinical studies, which can be time-consuming and require the expenditure of substantial additional resources. Under PDUFA, the target timeframe for the review of an sNDA to add a new clinical indication is six or ten months from the receipt date, depending on whether or not the sNDA has priority review. As with an NDA or BLA, if the FDA determines that it cannot approve an sNDA in its current form, it will issue a complete response letter as discussed above.

Fast Track, Breakthrough Therapy and Priority Review Designations

The FDA has a number of programs intended to help expedite testing, review, and approval of drug candidates that meet the applicable eligibility criteria such as Fast Track designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation, Priority Review designation and accelerated approval. Specifically, new drugs and biological products are eligible for Fast Track designation if they are intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition and demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs for the condition. Fast Track designation applies to the combination of the product and the specific indication for which it is being studied. For a Fast Track-designated product, the FDA may consider review of completed sections of an NDA or BLA on a rolling basis provided the sponsor provides, and the FDA accepts, a schedule for the submission of the completed sections of the NDA or BLA. This process is called rolling review. However, the FDA’s time period goal for reviewing a rolling review application does not begin until the last section of the application is submitted.

A drug may be eligible for Breakthrough Therapy designation if the drug is intended, either alone or in combination with one or more other products, to treat a serious or life-threatening disease and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints, such as substantial treatment effects observed early in clinical development. Breakthrough Therapy designation provides for frequent meetings between the sponsor and the FDA, involving senior and experienced review staff, as appropriate, in a collaborative, cross-functional review and the assignment of an FDA project lead to facilitate efficient review of the development program and serve as a scientific liaison with the sponsor. Breakthrough Therapy designation comes with all of the benefits of Fast Track designation, which means that the sponsor may also be eligible for rolling review.

A product submitted to the FDA for marketing, including under a Fast Track or Breakthrough Therapy program, may be eligible for other types of FDA programs intended to expedite development or review, such as priority review and accelerated approval. Priority review means that, for a new molecular entity or original BLA, the FDA sets a target date for FDA action on the marketing application at six months after accepting the application for filing as opposed to ten months. A product is eligible for priority review if it is designed to treat a serious or life-threatening disease condition and, if approved, would provide a significant improvement in safety and effectiveness compared to available therapies. The FDA will attempt to direct additional resources to the evaluation of an application for a new drug or biologic designated for priority review in an effort to facilitate the review. If criteria are not met for priority review, the application for a new molecular entity or original BLA is subject to the standard FDA review period of ten months after FDA accepts the application for filing. Priority review designation does not change the scientific/medical standard for approval or the quality of evidence necessary to support approval.

A product may also be eligible for accelerated approval if it is designed to treat a serious or life-threatening disease or condition and demonstrates an effect on either a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit or on a clinical endpoint that can be measured earlier than irreversible morbidity or mortality (“IMM”), that is reasonably likely to predict an effect on IMM or other clinical benefit, taking into account the severity, rarity, or prevalence of the disease or condition and the availability or lack of alternative treatments. As a condition of approval, the FDA may require that a sponsor of a drug or biologic receiving accelerated approval perform adequate and well-controlled post-marketing clinical trials. In addition, the FDA currently requires as a condition for accelerated approval pre-approval of promotional materials, which could adversely impact the timing of the commercial launch of the product. FDA may withdraw approval of a product or indication approved under accelerated approval if, for example, the confirmatory trial fails to verify the predicted clinical benefit of the product.


17




Even if a product qualifies for one or more of these programs, the FDA may later decide that the product no longer meets the conditions for qualification or the time period for FDA review or approval may not be shortened. Furthermore, Fast Track designation, Breakthrough Therapy designation, priority review and accelerated approval do not change the standards for approval.

Abbreviated New Drug Application

The Hatch-Waxman Act created the ANDA pathway, which allows companies to seek approval for generic versions of brand-name drugs previously approved under an NDA and listed in the Orange Book. Rather than directly demonstrating the product’s safety and efficacy, as is required of an NDA, an ANDA must show that the proposed generic product is the same as the previously approved product in terms of active ingredient(s), strength, dosage form and route of administration. In addition, with certain exceptions, the generic product must have the same labeling as the product to which it refers. At the same time, the FDA must also determine that the generic drug is “bioequivalent” to the innovator drug. Under the statute, a generic drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved product if, in relevant part, “the rate and extent of absorption of the [generic] drug do not show a significant difference from the rate and extent of absorption of the listed drug.”

NDA applicants and holders must provide certain information about patents related to the branded drug for listing in the Orange Book. When an ANDA is submitted, it must contain one of several possible certifications regarding each of the patents listed in the Orange Book for the branded product that is the reference listed drug. A certification that a listed patent is invalid, unenforceable, or will not be infringed by the sale of the proposed product is called a Paragraph IV certification. If the applicant has provided a Paragraph IV certification to the FDA, the applicant must also send appropriate notice of the Paragraph IV certification to the NDA and patent holders within 20 days of the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application (a marketing application in which sponsors may rely on investigations that were not conducted by or for the applicant and for which the applicant has not obtained a right of reference or use from the person by or for whom the investigations were conducted) being accepted for filing by the FDA. The NDA and patent holders may then initiate a patent infringement lawsuit in response to the notice of the Paragraph IV certification. The filing of a patent infringement lawsuit within 45 days after the receipt of a Paragraph IV certification automatically prevents the FDA from approving the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application until the earlier of expiration of the patent, a decision in the infringement case that is favorable to the ANDA or 505(b)(2) applicant, or 30 months after the receipt of the Paragraph IV notice (which can be extended if the reference product has 5-year exclusivity and the ANDA or 505(b)(2) application is submitted between four and five years after approval of the reference product).

The Hatch-Watchman Act also provides for a 180-day period of generic product exclusivity for the first generic applicant to submit an ANDA with a paragraph IV certification for a generic version of an NDA-approved drug. Generic pharmaceutical products that are introduced by innovator companies, either directly or through partnering arrangements with other generic companies, are known as authorized generics. Authorized generics are equivalent to the innovator companies' brand name drugs but are sold at relatively lower prices than the brand name drugs. An authorized generic product may be marketed during the 180-day exclusivity period granted to the first manufacturer to submit an ANDA with a Paragraph IV certification for a generic version of the brand product.

Adverse Event Reporting

The FDA requires a sponsor to submit reports of certain information on side effects and adverse events associated with its products that occur either during clinical trials or after marketing approval. These requirements include specific and timely notification of certain serious, unexpected and/or frequent adverse events, as well as regular periodic reports summarizing adverse drug experiences. Failure to comply with these FDA safety reporting requirements may result in FDA regulatory action that may include civil action or criminal penalties. In addition, as a result of these reports, the FDA could create a Tracked Safety Issue for a product in the FDA’s Document Archiving, Reporting and Regulatory Tracking System, place additional limitations on an approved product’s use, such as through labeling changes, or, potentially, could require withdrawal or suspension of the product from the market. In addition, the FDA could require post-approval studies or impose distribution and use restrictions and other requirements via a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy (“REMS”) based upon new safety information obtained through adverse event reporting (discussed further below).

18





FDA Post-Approval Requirements

Even if initial approval of an NDA, sNDA, BLA, or sBLA is granted, such approval may be subject to post-approval regulatory requirements, any or all of which may adversely impact a sponsor’s ability to effectively market and sell the approved product. The FDA may require the sponsor to conduct Phase 4 clinical trials, also known as post-marketing requirements, to provide additional information on safety and efficacy. In addition, the FDA and the sponsor may agree to the conduct of certain post-market studies, known as post-marketing commitments, to further obtain safety and efficacy information. The results of such post-marketing requirement or commitment studies may be negative and could lead to limitations on the further marketing of a product, including safety labeling changes. In addition, the FDA may require a sponsor to implement a REMS, which may include distribution or use restrictions to manage a known or potential serious risk associated with the product. Failure to comply with REMS requirements may result in civil penalties. Further, if an approved product encounters any safety or efficacy issues, including drug interaction problems, the FDA has broad authority to require the sponsor to take any number of actions, including, but not limited to, undertaking post-approval clinical studies, implementing labeling changes, adopting a REMS, issuing Dear Health Care Provider letters, or removing the product from the market. Under PREA, the FDA may require pediatric assessment of certain drugs unless waived or deferred due to the fact that necessary studies are impossible or highly impractical to conduct in the specified age group or where the drug is not likely to be used in a substantial number of pediatric patients in that age group.

FDA Regulation of our Products
FDA Regulation of Product Advertising and Promotional Labeling
The FDA also regulates all advertising and promotional labeling for prescription drugs, both prior to and after approval. Approved pharmaceutical products must be promoted in a manner consistent with their product label, including the scope of their approved use. The FDA may take enforcement action against a company for promoting unapproved uses of a product (“off-label promotion”) or for other violations of its advertising and promotional labeling laws and regulations. Failure to comply with these requirements could lead to, among other things, adverse publicity, product seizures, civil or criminal penalties, or regulatory letters, which may include warnings and require corrective advertising or other corrective communications to healthcare professionals.
Promotional labeling and advertising materials for all prescription pharmaceutical products must be submitted to the FDA’s Office of Promotional Drug Products (“OPDP”) at the time of initial dissemination or publication. However, under the accelerated approval regulations, promotional materials for drugs or biologics approved under Subpart H or E, respectively, and not yet converted to a full marketing approval, such as Makena, must be submitted for review to the OPDP at least 30 days prior to the intended time of initial dissemination of the promotional labeling or initial publication of the advertisement. This extra requirement means that there is a longer lead time before we are able to introduce new promotional material to the market for Makena and other products approved via the accelerated approval pathway and sponsors are subject to increased scrutiny prior to using promotional pieces.

FDA Regulation of Manufacturing Facilities
Manufacturing procedures and quality control for approved drugs must conform to cGMP. Domestic manufacturing establishments must follow cGMP at all times and are subject to periodic inspections by the FDA in order to assess, among other things, cGMP compliance. In addition, prior to approval of an NDA, sNDA, BLA, or sBLA, the FDA will often perform a pre-approval inspection of the sponsor’s manufacturing facility, including its equipment, facilities, laboratories and processes, to determine the facility’s compliance with cGMP and other rules and regulations. Vendors that supply finished products or components to the sponsor that are used to manufacture, package, and label products are subject to similar regulation and periodic inspections. If the FDA identifies deficiencies during an inspection, it may issue a formal notice, which may be followed by a warning letter if observations are not addressed satisfactorily. FDA guidelines specify that a warning letter should be issued for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may result in agency consideration of an enforcement action.
Product approval may be delayed or denied due to cGMP non-compliance or other issues at the sponsor’s manufacturing facilities or contractor sites or suppliers included in the NDA, sNDA, BLA or sBLA, and the complete resolution of these inspectional findings may be beyond the sponsor’s control. If the FDA determines that the sponsor’s equipment, facilities, laboratories or processes do not comply with applicable FDA regulations and conditions of product approval, the FDA may seek civil, criminal or administrative sanctions and/or remedies against the sponsor, including suspension of its manufacturing operations.

19





Orphan Drug Exclusivity

Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may designate a product as an orphan drug if it is a drug or biologic intended to treat a rare disease or condition, defined, in part, as a patient population of fewer than 200,000. The company that first obtains FDA approval for a designated orphan drug for the specified rare disease or condition receives orphan drug marketing exclusivity for that drug for a period of seven years. This orphan drug exclusivity prevents the FDA from approving another application for the same drug for the same orphan indication during the exclusivity period, except in very limited circumstances. A designated orphan drug may not receive orphan drug exclusivity for an approved indication if that indication is for the treatment of a condition broader than that for which it received orphan drug designation. In addition, orphan drug exclusivity marketing rights may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition. Finally, the FDA may approve a subsequent drug that is otherwise the same as a currently approved orphan drug for the same orphan indication during the exclusivity period if the sponsor of the subsequent drug can demonstrate that the drug is clinically superior to the already approved drug. According to FDA regulations, clinical superiority may be demonstrated by showing that a drug is more effective in a clinical trial, safer in a substantial portion of the target population, or provides a major contribution to patient care relative to the currently approved drug.

Fraud and Abuse Laws and Regulations

Our general operations, and the research, development, manufacture, sale, and marketing of our products, are subject to extensive federal and state laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, FDA regulations, the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute (“AKS”), the Federal False Claims Act (“FCA”), and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and their state analogues, and similar laws in countries outside of the U.S., laws governing sampling and distribution of products and government price reporting laws.

The AKS prohibits the knowing and willful exchange of remuneration (which the statute broadly defines as anything of value) for referrals for any item or service payable by federal healthcare programs, including prescription drugs, biologics, or medical devices. Liability may be established without proving actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, federal law now provides that the government may assert that a claim including items resulting from a violation of the AKS constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the FCA, described below. Violations of the AKS carry potentially significant civil and criminal penalties, including imprisonment, fines, administrative civil monetary penalties and exclusion from participation in federal healthcare programs. Many states have enacted similar anti-kickback laws, including in laws that prohibit paying or receiving remuneration to induce a referral or recommendation of an item or service reimbursed by any payer, including private payers.

The FCA imposes civil penalties, including through civil whistleblower or qui tam actions, against individuals or entities (including manufacturers) for, among other things, knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, false or fraudulent claims for reimbursement of drugs for payment by a federal healthcare program. The FCA also prohibits making, using or causing to be made or used a false statement or record material to payment of a false claim, avoiding, decreasing or concealing an obligation to pay money to the federal government, or having possession, custody, or control of property or money used, or to be used, by the federal government and knowingly delivering or causing to be delivered, less than all of that money or property. The government may deem manufacturers to have “caused” the submission of false or fraudulent claims by, for example, providing inaccurate billing or coding information to customers so that claims are presented for payment for a condition other than that for which the patient was treated. Claims which include items resulting from a violation of the AKS are false or fraudulent claims for purposes of the FCA. The FCA permits a private individual called a Relator (also referred to as a “whistleblower”) to bring a “qui tam” action (a lawsuit in which the Relator sues on behalf of the federal government and shares in any monetary recovery. Government enforcement agencies and Relators have asserted liability under the FCA for, among other things, claims for items not provided as claimed or for medically unnecessary items, kickbacks, promotion of off-label uses, and misreporting of drug prices to federal agencies. Many states have enacted similar false claims laws, including in some cases laws that apply where a claim is submitted to any third-party payer, not just government programs.


20




The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (“HITECH”), and their respective implementing regulations, contain many provisions applicable to pharmaceutical companies, including the HIPAA Privacy Rule and the codification of Health Care Fraud as a criminal offense. These laws impose criminal and civil liability for knowingly and willfully executing a scheme, or attempting to execute a scheme, to defraud any healthcare benefit program (including private payer programs), or falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false statements in connection with the delivery of or payment for healthcare benefits, items, or services. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes standards to protect personal health information. The laws impose both civil monetary and criminal penalties, including penalties directly applicable to “business associates” of HIPAA covered entities, and authorize state attorneys general to file civil actions for damages or injunctions in federal courts to enforce the federal HIPAA laws and seek attorneys’ fees and costs associated with pursuing federal civil actions.

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act, enacted as part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “ACA”), imposed annual federal reporting requirements for certain manufacturers of drugs, devices, biologics, and medical supplies for which payment is available under Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program, for certain payments and “transfers of value” provided to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists and chiropractors) and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Effective January 1, 2012, these reporting obligations were extended to include transfers of value made to certain non-physician providers such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners. Many states have also enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to, among other things, establish marketing compliance programs, file periodic reports with the state and make periodic public disclosure on sales and marketing activities and prohibiting certain other sales and marketing practices. If we fail to track and report as required by these laws, we could be subject to state and federal penalty provisions.

The FCPA prohibits U.S. publicly-traded companies and their intermediaries from making, or offering or promising to make improper payments to non-U.S. officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business or otherwise seeking favorable treatment and requires companies to maintain accurate books and records, as well as an adequate system of internal accounting controls. If we violate the FCPA, we could be subject to substantial civil and criminal penalties.

Our activities relating to the sale and marketing of our products may be subject to scrutiny under the above referenced laws. Federal and state authorities continue to devote significant attention and resources to enforcement of these laws within the pharmaceutical industry, and private individuals have been active in bringing lawsuits on behalf of the government under the FCA. We have developed and implemented a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are current best practices in the pharmaceutical industry; however, these laws are broad in scope and there may not be regulations, guidance, or court decisions that definitively interpret these laws in the context of particular industry practices. We cannot guarantee that we, our employees, our consultants, or our contractors are or will be in compliance will all federal, state, and foreign regulations. If we or our representatives fail to comply with any of these laws or regulations, a range of administrative, civil and criminal fines, penalties, and/or other sanctions could be imposed on us, including, but not limited to, restrictions on how we market and sell our products, disgorgement, individual imprisonment, significant fines, exclusions from government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, litigation, reputational harm, additional reporting obligations and oversight if we become subject to a corporate integrity agreement or other agreement to resolve allegations of non-compliance or other sanctions. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such investigations or suits may also result in related shareholder lawsuits, which can also have an adverse effect on our business.
Our activities are also subject to regulation by numerous regulatory authorities including the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), other divisions of the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and state and local governments.

21





Other Regulatory Requirements

Several states have enacted legislation requiring manufacturers operating within the state to establish marketing and promotional compliance programs or codes of conduct and/or file periodic reports with the state or make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials and other activities. In addition, as discussed above, as part of the ACA, certain manufacturers of drugs and medical devices are required to publicly report gifts and other payments or transfers of value made to U.S. physicians and teaching hospitals. Several states have also adopted laws that prohibit certain marketing-related activities, including the provision of gifts, meals or other items to certain healthcare providers. Compliance with these laws is difficult, time-consuming, and costly, and if we are found not to be in full compliance with these laws, we may face enforcement actions, fines, and other penalties, and we could receive adverse publicity which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We are also subject to data protection laws and regulations (i.e., laws and regulations that address data privacy and information security). The legislative and regulatory landscape for data protection continues to evolve, and in recent years there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data security issues. In the U.S., numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information. For example, in June 2018, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new operational requirements for companies, which may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. While there is currently an exception for protected health information that is subject to HIPAA and clinical trial regulations, as currently written, the CCPA may impact certain of our business activities. The CCPA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent state privacy legislation in the U.S., which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business.

In addition, as discussed above, in the course of our business, we may obtain health information from third parties (i.e., healthcare providers who prescribe our products) that are subject to privacy and security requirements under HIPAA. HIPAA imposes, among other things, specified requirements on covered entities and their business associates relating to the privacy and security of individually identifiable health information including mandatory contractual terms and required implementation of technical safeguards of such information. Although we are not directly subject to HIPAA (other than potentially with respect to providing certain employee benefits) we could be subject to criminal penalties if we knowingly obtain or disclose individually identifiable health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA/HITECH. We are also subject to laws and regulations covering data privacy and the protection of health-related and other personal information.

We are also impacted by the data privacy and information security requirements at the international, national and regional level, and on an industry specific basis. Legal requirements in the countries in which we do business relating to the collection, storage, handling and transfer of personal data and potentially intellectual property continue to evolve with increasingly strict enforcement regimes. More privacy and security laws and regulations are being adopted, and more are being enforced, with potential for significant financial penalties. In the European Union (the “EU”), the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) took effect in May 2018 and imposes increasingly stringent data protection and privacy rules. The GDPR extended the geographical scope of EU data protection law to non-EU entities under certain conditions, tightened existing EU data protection principles and created new obligations for companies and new rights for individuals. Guidance, interpretation and enforcement, particularly in the clinical trial space and healthcare space, under the GDPR are still developing. The GDPR may increase our responsibility and potential liability in relation to personal data that we process, expose us to substantial potential fines and increase our compliance costs. Claims that we have violated individuals’ privacy rights or breached our contractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business.

Failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations could result in government enforcement actions (which could include civil or criminal penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business.

U. S. Healthcare Reform

Our revenue and operations could be affected by changes in healthcare spending and policy in the U.S. We operate in a highly regulated industry and new laws, regulations or judicial decisions, or new interpretations of existing laws, regulations or decisions, related to health care availability, the method of delivery or payment for health care products could negatively impact our business, operations and financial condition. The U.S. Congress and state legislatures from time to time propose and adopt initiatives aimed at cost containment, which could impact our ability to sell our products profitably. For example, the ACA substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers. Since its enactment, however, there have been modifications and challenges to numerous aspects of the ACA. In 2020, litigation, regulation, and legislation related to the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results. The full impact of the ACA, any law repealing. replacing, and/or modifying elements of it, and the political uncertainty surrounding any repeal or replacement legislation on our business remains unclear.

Further, there has been heightened governmental scrutiny over the manner in which manufacturers set prices for their marketed products, which has resulted in several recent Congressional inquiries and proposed bills designed to, among other things, bring more transparency to product pricing, review the relationship between pricing and manufacturer patient assistance programs, and reform government program reimbursement methodologies for products. In addition, the U.S. government, state legislatures, and foreign governments have shown significant interest in implementing cost containment programs, including price-controls, restrictions on reimbursement and requirements for substitution of generic products for branded prescription drugs to limit the growth of government paid healthcare costs. Individual states in the U.S. have passed legislation and implemented regulations requiring reporting related to notification of certain price increases and submissions on justifications for certain price increases. The enforcement of individual state requirements is uncertain, but failure to comply could expose us to substantial financial penalties and the potential for adverse publicity. The number of states establishing requirements to report pricing or otherwise designed to control pharmaceutical and biological product pricing, including price or patient reimbursement constraints, discounts, restrictions on certain product access and marketing cost disclosure and transparency measures, and, in some cases, designed to encourage importation from other countries and bulk purchasing is likely to continue to increase, creating a regulatory landscape of substantial complexity. The pace of change and varying demand of individual state requirements may make it very difficult to comply.
Drug-Device Combination Regulation

Combination products are defined by the FDA to include products composed of two or more regulated components (e.g., a drug and a device). Drugs and devices each have their own regulatory requirements, and combination products may have additional requirements. The Makena auto-injector and Vyleesi are considered drug-device combination products because of their injection delivery devices and are regulated under this framework.

Medical Device Regulation

All clinical investigations of devices to determine safety and effectiveness must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s Investigational Device Exception (“IDE”) regulations that among other things, govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion of the investigational device, and specify recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of study sponsors and study investigators. The IDE application must become effective prior to commencing human clinical trials. The IDE will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA denies the application or notifies the company that the investigation is on hold and may not begin. If the FDA determines that there are deficiencies or other concerns with an IDE that requires modification, the FDA may permit a clinical trial to proceed under a conditional approval.

Medical devices are similarly subject to FDA clearance or approval and extensive post-approval regulation under the FDCA. Authorization to commercially distribute a new medical device in the U.S. is generally received in one of two ways. The first, known as premarket notification (the “510(k) process”), requires a sponsor to obtain 510(k) clearance by demonstrating that the new medical device is substantially equivalent to a legally marketed medical device that is not subject to premarket approval. The second, more rigorous process, known as premarket approval, requires a sponsor to independently demonstrate that the new medical device is safe and effective.


23




Both before and after a device is commercially released, there are ongoing responsibilities under FDA regulations. For example, the FDA requires that device manufacturers maintain particular reviews, design and manufacturing practices, labeling and record keeping, and manufacturers’ required reports of adverse experiences and other information to identify potential problems with marketed medical devices. If the FDA were to conclude that a sponsor is not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations, or that any of its medical devices are ineffective or pose an unreasonable health risk, the FDA could, depending on the FDA’s specific findings, require the sponsor to notify healthcare professionals and others that the devices present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health, order a recall, repair, replacement, or refund of such devices, detain or seize adulterated or misbranded medical devices, or ban such medical devices. The FDA may also impose operating restrictions, enjoin and/or restrain certain conduct resulting in violations of applicable law pertaining to medical devices and assess civil or criminal penalties against the sponsor or its officers and employees.

Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement

Our ability to successfully commercialize our products is dependent, in significant part, on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for these products and related treatments is available from third-party payers, including state and federal governmental payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, managed care organizations, private health insurers and other organizations.

Coverage by third-party payers depends on several factors, including the third-party’s determination that the product is clinically and cost effective both individually and within its therapeutic class. Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for pharmaceutical products (including combination products) and continue to institute cost containment measures to control or influence the purchase of pharmaceutical products, such as through the use of prior authorizations and step therapy. There is a continued scrutiny, intensifying criticism and political focus on pharmaceutical pricing practices at both national and regional levels. Especially in the U.S., state legislators are implementing a variety of regulations intended to increase the transparency of bio-pharmaceutical pricing, which may lead to future price control regulations at state levels. Federally, multiple price control mechanisms have been suggested in the recent past, and bi-partisan focus on the issues remains a high priority. Consolidation of pharmacy benefit managers and managed care organizations is also increasing the pricing pressure in the private sector. If these third-party payers provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement for our products, physicians and other healthcare providers may choose to prescribe alternative products, including generics, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues.

Medicaid is a joint federal and state health insurance program that is administered by the states for low-income children, families, pregnant women, and other individuals with disabilities. Under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program we are required to pay a rebate to each state Medicaid program for our covered outpatient drugs that are dispensed to Medicaid beneficiaries and paid for by a state Medicaid program. The calculation of the rebate is defined by law and is based on the quarterly reported average manufacture price (“AMP”) and best price to CMS for each product. The rebate amount is adjusted upward if AMP increases more than inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index - Urban. The requirements for calculating AMP and best price are complex. We are also required to report revisions to AMP or best price previously reported within a certain period. These revisions could affect our rebate liability for prior quarters. Further, changes to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, effective as of April 2016, require state Medicaid programs to reimburse certain brand name covered outpatient drugs at actual acquisition cost plus a dispensing fee. If we fail to provide information timely or we are found to have knowingly submitted false information to the government, the statute governing the Medicaid Drug Rebate program provides for civil monetary penalties.

Medicare is a federal health insurance program, administered by CMS, for people who are 65 or older, and certain people with disabilities or certain conditions, irrespective of their age. Medicare Part B covers (a) products administered by physicians or other healthcare practitioners, (b) products provided in connection with certain durable medical equipment, and (c) certain oral anti-cancer and immunosuppressive drugs. We are required to provide average sales price (“ASP”) information to CMS on a quarterly basis. The submitted information is used to calculate a Medicare payment rate using ASP plus a specified percentage. These rates are adjusted periodically. If we fail to provide information timely or we are found to have knowingly submitted false information to the government, the governing statutes provide for civil monetary penalties.


24




Medicare Part D provides coverage to enrolled Medicare patients for self-administered drugs (i.e. drugs that do not need to be injected or otherwise administered by a physician), including combination products. Medicare Part D is a voluntary prescription drug benefit, administered by private prescription drug plan sponsors approved by the U.S. government. Part D prescription drug plan sponsors are not required to pay for all covered Part D drugs; and each drug plan establishes its own Medicare Part D formulary for prescription drug coverage and pricing, which the drug plan may modify from time to time. The prescription drug plans negotiate pricing with the manufacturers and may condition formulary placement on the availability of manufacturer discounts. Manufacturers, including us, are required to provide a 70% discount on brand name prescription drugs utilized by Medicare Part D beneficiaries when those beneficiaries reach the coverage gap in their drug benefits.

Effective January 2018, CMS adopted a policy to pay for separately payable, non-pass-through drugs and biologicals other than vaccines purchased through the 340B Drug Pricing Program under the Public Health Services Act (the “340B Program”), with certain exceptions, at the ASP minus 22.5% rather than ASP plus 6%. Drugs not purchased under the 340B Program will continue to be paid for at a rate of ASP plus 6%. This decrease in reimbursement has been challenged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and was appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals; a decision is expected in early 2020. There have been significant increases in budget pressure, which may adversely impact premium priced agents, such as Feraheme and Makena.

Our products are available for purchase by authorized users of the Federal Supply Schedule (“FSS”), pursuant to a contract with the Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), in which we are required to offer deeply discounted pricing to four federal agencies: VA; Department of Defense (“DOD”); the Coast Guard; and Public Health Service (“PHS”) (including the Indian Health Service) (together the “Big Four”). Coverage under Medicaid, Medicare and the PHS pharmaceutical pricing program is conditioned upon FSS participation. FSS pricing is not to exceed the price we charge our most-favored non-federal customer for a product. In addition, prices for drugs purchased by the Big Four (including products purchased by military personnel and dependents through the TRICARE retail pharmacy program), are subject to a cap on pricing equal to 76% of the non-federal average manufacturer price (non-FAMP). An additional discount applies if the non-FAMP increases more than inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index - Urban. If we fail to provide information timely or we are found to have knowingly submitted false information, the governing statute provides for civil monetary penalties.

Federal law requires that any company participating in the Medicaid Drug Rebate program also participate in the PHS’s 340B Program for federal funds to be available for the manufacturer’s drugs under Medicaid and Medicare Part B. The 340B Program requires participating manufacturers to agree to charge statutorily defined covered entities no more than the 340B “ceiling price” for the manufacturer’s covered outpatient drugs. These 340B covered entities include a variety of community health clinics and other entities that receive health services grants from the PHS, as well as hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low-income patients. The 340B ceiling price is calculated using a statutory formula, which is based on AMP and rebate amount for the covered outpatient drug as calculated under the Medicaid Drug Rebate program. In addition, we may, but are not required to, offer these covered entities a price lower than the 340B ceiling price.

Federal, state and local governments continue to consider legislation to limit the growth of healthcare costs, including the cost of prescription drugs and combination products. Since 2017, several states and local governments have either implemented or are considering implementation of price transparency legislation that may prevent or limit our ability to take price increases at certain rates or frequencies. To date, no fewer than fifteen states have implemented regulations addressing drug pricing transparency with requirements that may include advance notice of planned price increases, reporting price increase amounts and factors, wholesale acquisition cost (“WAC”) disclosure to prescribers and state agencies, and new product notice and reporting. For example, in 2017, California enacted a new law to facilitate greater transparency in brand-name and generic drug pricing through the implementation of specific advance notice and price reporting requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturers This and other legislation could limit the price and/or payment for prescription drugs. If adequate reimbursement levels are not maintained by government and other third-party payers for our products, our ability to sell our products may be limited and/or our ability to establish acceptable pricing levels may be impaired, thereby reducing anticipated revenues and profitability.

Success of any products we may ultimately seek approval to commercialize outside of the U.S. will depend largely on obtaining and maintaining governmental coverage, as governmental healthcare programs tend to be the dominant third-party payers. Products that are not covered and funded by government entities are unlikely to be used in these markets. We cannot be certain we can obtain coverage and reimbursement for our products in markets outside the U.S. Additionally, ability to market our products on a profitable basis may be limited, given that governments control prices of prescription medicines through mechanisms such as, but not limited to, international price referencing, therapeutic price reference, price cuts, rebates, revenue related taxes, and profit controls. In markets outside the U.S., the price of prescription medicines tends to decline over the life of the medicine and/or as the volume increases, making it difficult to achieve expected growth in revenue.

Products to be Divested

In January 2020, following a review of our product portfolio and strategy, we announced that we would be pursuing options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi from our product portfolio.

Intrarosa

In February 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Endoceutics License Agreement”) with Endoceutics pursuant to which Endoceutics granted us the U.S. rights to Intrarosa, an FDA-approved product for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), a symptom of VVA, due to menopause. Intrarosa was approved by the FDA in November 2016 and was launched commercially in July 2017. Intrarosa is the only FDA-approved vaginal non-estrogen treatment indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of VVA, due to menopause. Intrarosa contains prasterone, a synthetic form of dehydroepiandrosterone (“DHEA”), which is an inactive endogenous (i.e. occurring in the body) sex steroid. The mechanism of action of Intrarosa is not fully established. Intrarosa is contraindicated in women with undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding and its label contains a precaution that it has not been studied in women with a history of breast cancer.

Under the terms of the Endoceutics License Agreement, we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million and issued 600,000 shares of unregistered common stock to Endoceutics, which had a value of $13.5 million, as measured on April 3, 2017, the date of closing. In addition, we paid Endoceutics $10.0 million in 2017 upon the delivery by Endoceutics of Intrarosa launch quantities and $10.0 million in 2018 following the first anniversary of the closing. Endoceutics is also eligible to receive certain sales milestone payments and tiered royalties equal to a percentage of net sales of Intrarosa in the U.S.

The Endoceutics License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder unless earlier terminated, including by either party for material breach that is uncured after a 90-day notice period (subject to certain extensions and dispute resolutions provisions). Either party may terminate under certain situations relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. We may terminate the Endoceutics License Agreement for a valid business reason upon 365 days prior written notice to Endoceutics, or upon 60 days written notice in the event we reasonably determine in good faith, after due inquiry and after discussions with Endoceutics, that we cannot reasonably continue to develop or commercialize the product as a result of a safety issue regarding the use of Intrarosa. We may also terminate the Endoceutics License Agreement upon 180 days’ notice if there is a change of control of AMAG and the acquiring entity (alone or with its affiliates) is engaged in a competing program (as defined in the Endoceutics License Agreement) in the U.S. or in at least three countries within the EU.

Under the terms of the Endoceutics License Agreement, we received rights to U.S. patents and applications related to Intrarosa that are controlled by Endoceutics. One issued patent includes drug product claims with a term that expires in 2031, and two additional issued patents include method of use claims and pharmaceutical dosage form claims with terms that expire in 2028. Either of the patents expiring in 2028 may be granted up to five years of patent term extension (up to a maximum patent term of 14 years after regulatory approval) pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act. However, there is no guarantee that the FDA will grant such an extension.

In April 2017, we entered into an exclusive commercial supply agreement with Endoceutics pursuant to which Endoceutics, itself or through affiliates or contract manufacturers, agreed to manufacture and supply Intrarosa to us (the “Endoceutics Supply Agreement”) and is our exclusive supplier of Intrarosa in the U.S., subject to certain rights for us to manufacture and supply Intrarosa in the event of a cessation notice or supply failure (as such terms are defined in the Endoceutics Supply Agreement). Endoceutics is developing internal manufacturing capabilities for Intrarosa, for which we expect a decision from the FDA in April 2020, which would give Endoceutics additional manufacturing capacity for the U.S. market. The Endoceutics Supply Agreement will generally remain in effect until the termination of the Endoceutics License Agreement.

Intrarosa faces competition from a number of approved products, both branded and generic, as well as certain over the counter and compounded remedies that are marketed for dyspareunia or VVA and over the counter and compounded products that contain DHEA.

Estradiol® Vaginal Cream USP, 0.01% (generic version of Estrace®), including a generic marketed by Mylan N.V., which was launched in December 2017, a generic marketed by Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., a subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (“Teva”), which was launched in early 2018, a generic marketed by Impax Laboratories, Inc., which was launched in mid-2018, and a generic marketed by Alvogen Inc., which was launched in mid-2018;


26




Estradiol vaginal inserts USP (generic versions of Vagifem®), including Yuvafem, which is marketed by Amneal Pharmaceuticals LLC, a generic marketed by Teva and a generic marketed by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals Inc.;

Premarin Vaginal Cream®, a vaginal cream for the treatment of VVA marketed by Pfizer;

Osphena®, an oral therapy marketed by Duchesnay Inc. for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia due to menopause;

Estring®(estradiol vaginal ring), a vaginal ring marketed by Pfizer for the treatment of VVA due to menopause;

Estrace® Cream (Estradiol vaginal cream, USP 0.01%), a vaginal cream for the treatment of VVA marketed by Allergan PLC;

IMVEXXY® (estradiol vaginal inserts), an estrogen indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia due to menopause, which was launched in mid-2018 and is marketed by TherapeuticsMD, Inc.;

Vagifem® (estradiol vaginal inserts), a suppository marketed by Novo Nordisk A/S for the treatment of VVA; and

Over the counter and compounded remedies that are marketed for dyspareunia or VVA and over the counter and compounded products that contain DHEA.

In July 2017, Intrarosa became available for healthcare provider prescribing and can be ordered through wholesalers and retail pharmacies. Despite significant marketing and educational efforts by industry participants intended to spread awareness of the condition and its treatment, studies suggest that women often do not recognize dyspareunia, a symptom of VVA, as a treatable medical condition and are often not aware of treatment options. We will continue to educate healthcare providers and patients on dyspareunia and the benefits of Intrarosa as a treatment option and to support our sampling program, which makes samples of Intrarosa available to healthcare providers through our sales representatives, and to offer a comprehensive copay savings program to patients.

Vyleesi

In January 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Palatin License Agreement”) with Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”), which provides us with (a) an exclusive license in all countries of North America (the “Palatin Territory”), with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and commercialize Vyleesi and any other products containing bremelanotide (collectively, the “Vyleesi Products”), (b) a worldwide non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to manufacture the Vyleesi Products, and (c) a non-exclusive license in all countries outside the Palatin Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research and develop (but not commercialize) the Vyleesi Products. On June 21, 2019, the FDA approved Vyleesi for the treatment of acquired, generalized HSDD in premenopausal women, and Vyleesi became commercially available in the U.S. in September 2019 through specialty pharmacies.

Under the terms of the Palatin License Agreement, in February 2017 we paid Palatin $60.0 million as a one-time upfront payment and subject to agreed-upon deductions we reimbursed Palatin approximately $25.0 million for reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Palatin in connection with the development and regulatory activities necessary to submit the Vyleesi NDA in the U.S. In June 2018, our NDA submission to the FDA for Vyleesi was accepted, which triggered a $20.0 million milestone payment, which we paid to Palatin in the second quarter of 2018. In June 2019, the FDA approval of Vyleesi triggered a $60.0 million milestone payment to Palatin, which we paid and recorded as an intangible asset in the second quarter of 2019. In addition, we are required to pay royalties on net sales of Vyleesi and regulatory and sales milestone payments to Palatin.

Vyleesi, a melanocortin receptor agonist, is an “as needed” therapy used in anticipation of sexual activity and self-administered by premenopausal women with HSDD in the thigh or abdomen via a single-use subcutaneous auto-injector. The most common adverse events are nausea, flushing, injection site reactions, headache and vomiting. Vyleesi is contraindicated in women with uncontrolled hypertension or known cardiovascular disease. In addition, the Vyleesi label includes precautions that it may cause (i) small, transient increases in blood pressure with a corresponding decrease in heart rate; (ii) focal hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body), including the face, gums (gingiva) and breasts; and (iii) nausea.

27




As part of the approval of Vyleesi, the FDA has required us to conduct three post-marketing studies. Two of these studies (one prospective and one retrospective registry) will be designed to investigate maternal, fetal/neonatal and infant outcomes in women exposed to Vyleesi during pregnancy. The third study will be designed to evaluate potential adverse outcomes from exposure to Vyleesi via breast milk from lactating women.
The Palatin License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder unless earlier terminated in accordance with the agreement. In addition, we have the right to terminate the Palatin License Agreement without cause, in its entirety or on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis, upon at least 180 days prior written notice to Palatin. Either party may terminate the Palatin License Agreement for cause if the other party materially breaches or defaults in the performance of its obligations, and, if curable, such material breach remains uncured for 90 days.
Under the Palatin License Agreement, we assumed a long-term commercial supply agreement with Catalent Belgium S.A. for drug product manufacture and packaging services for Vyleesi. In June 2018, we entered into a commercial supply agreement with Lonza Ltd. to supply us with the API for use in the finished Vyleesi product. In addition, in December 2018, we entered into a commercial supply agreement with Ypsomed AG to supply us with the device components of the auto-injector for use in the finished Vyleesi product. All of these agreements have certain minimum purchase requirements.

Under the Palatin License Agreement, we have exclusive rights in the Palatin Territory to a number of U.S. and foreign patents and applications related to Vyleesi that are owned by Palatin. Certain of Palatin’s patents include claims directed to the Vyleesi drug composition of matter and methods of use thereof with terms expiring in 2020, and other patents include claims directed to methods of treating FSD by subcutaneous administration of compositions that include Vyleesi with terms expiring in 2033. Any one of the issued U.S. patents may be granted up to five years of patent term extension (up to a maximum patent term of 14 years after regulatory approval) pursuant to the Hatch-Waxman Act. We have filed applications for patent term extension for two patents with terms expiring in 2020, but we have not yet received a determination from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as to whether patent term extension will be granted and, if so, the duration of such extension.

Vyleesi faces competition primarily from Addyi® (flibanserin), which was introduced into the market in October 2015 for the treatment of HSDD in pre-menopausal women and is marketed by Sprout2 Inc. We are not aware of any company actively developing another melanocortin receptor agonist drug for the treatment of HSDD. However, we are aware of several other drugs at various stages of development, most of which are being developed for the treatment of HSDD that are to be taken on a chronic, typically once-daily, basis. There may be other companies developing new drugs for FSD indications other than HSDD, which may compete with Vyleesi, some of which may be in clinical trials in the U.S. or elsewhere. Vyleesi may also compete with products prescribed “off-label” by healthcare providers.

Vyleesi is distributed nationally through specialty pharmacies. Our marketing strategy focuses on efforts to establish Vyleesi as the preferred option for women and healthcare providers seeking a treatment for HSDD, which we implement through media such as direct-to-consumer marketing in search and social media channels. We also focus our Vyleesi marketing efforts towards healthcare professionals, who play a significant role in increasing HSDD and Vyleesi awareness among their patients. In order to minimize cost and injection barriers to treatment, we have implemented a competitive copay savings program and injection training to healthcare professionals.

Backlog

We had a $1.8 million and $9.1 million sales backlog as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We expect to recognize the $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2020, net of any applicable rebates or credits. These backlogs were largely due to timing of orders received by our third-party logistics providers. Generally, product orders from our customers are fulfilled within a relatively short time of receipt of a customer order.

Employees

As of March 2, 2020, we had 440 employees. We utilize consultants and independent contractors on a regular basis to assist in the development and commercialization of our products. Our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified sales, technical operations, managerial, scientific and medical personnel of all levels. Although we believe we have been relatively successful to date in obtaining and retaining such personnel, we may not be successful in the future.

None of our employees are represented by a labor union, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

28





Foreign Operations

We have no foreign operations. We did not have material revenues from customers outside of the U.S. in 2019 and 2018.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS:
The following information sets forth material risks and uncertainties that may affect our business, including our future financial and operational results and could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements we have made in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and elsewhere as discussed in the introduction to Part I above. You should carefully consider the risks described below, in addition to the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or other factors not perceived by us to present material risks to our business at this time also may impair our business operations.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

There can be no assurance that our recently announced strategic review will result in a successful transaction for the divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi or that any such transaction would create any shareholder value. Speculation and uncertainty regarding our decision to divest our women’s health business and the outcome of our actions may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and stock price.

In January 2020, we announced that we had recently completed a review of our product portfolio and strategy and had engaged Goldman Sachs and Co., LLC as our financial advisor to assist us in identifying and evaluating a range of potential strategic alternatives with the objective of driving near- and long-term profitability and enhancing shareholder value. As a result of this strategic review, we are currently pursuing options for divesting Intrarosa® (prasterone) and Vyleesi® (bremelanotide injection). There can be no assurances that we will identify or effect any transaction to divest Intrarosa or Vyleesi in the expected timeframe, or at all, or that any transaction will be on terms that are favorable to us or that yield any value for shareholders. Further, we cannot assure investors that the anticipated benefits of eliminating these assets from our portfolio, including anticipated expense reductions, will be realized at expected levels, or at all. Identifying and completing any potential transaction would be dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control, including, among other things, market conditions, third-party consents, the interest of third parties in a potential transaction with us on terms that are acceptable and the availability of financing for potential buyers on reasonable terms, if required. If we fail to consummate a transaction to sell or otherwise divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi or if such transaction is significantly delayed beyond our expected timeline, our results of operations may be adversely affected or we may not be able to adequately fund our clinical development programs on the anticipated timelines, or at all.

The process of divesting Intrarosa and Vyleesi has been and will continue to be time consuming and disruptive to our business operations and could have a negative impact on our revenues or stock price for the following reasons:

The expected changes to our sales force as a result of the divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi could negatively impact our revenue, including sales of Makena;

We could also be exposed to potential litigation in connection with this process, including any resulting transaction;

We could incur substantial expenses associated with identifying, evaluating and effecting a divestiture, including those related to severance pay, vendor minimum commitments, legal, accounting and financial advisory fees and other fees or costs that may be payable regardless of whether we successfully divest these assets;

We experience a negative impact on our ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel;

Some of our customers and vendors for Intrarosa and Vyleesi are also customers and vendors for our other products, and we may experience changes in pricing with these parties as a result of the decreased products and volume;

Speculation regarding any developments related to the review of strategic alternatives, our plans to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi and any other perceived uncertainties related to the future of our company; and

The attention of management and the Board of Directors (the “Board”) is diverted from our business.

Following the planned divestiture of our women’s health business and because of the uncertainty surrounding Makena, our business will be significantly dependent upon sales of Feraheme, which faces intense competition from other IV irons, and may also face competition from generic versions of Feraheme.
Following the planned divestiture of our women’s health business and because of the uncertainty surrounding Makena, our business will be significantly dependent upon sales of Feraheme. Our ability to generate sufficient sales of Feraheme will require us to maintain or grow our market share and the continued use of Feraheme, including use by physicians, hospitals, patients, and/or healthcare payers, including government payers, consumers, managed care organizations, and retail and specialty pharmacies. We are likely to face challenges retaining our existing Feraheme customers, gaining sales to new customers and maintaining our market share in light of the intense competition primarily from other IV irons, pricing pressure from payers and deeper discounts, and the possibility that we may face competition from a generic version of Feraheme.
Feraheme competes primarily with Injectafer® and Venofer®, which together currently make up greater than 50% of the market (measured in grams of IV iron). These and other competitors of Feraheme are marketed by large pharmaceutical companies and may benefit from significantly greater financial, sales and marketing capabilities, greater technological or competitive advantages, and other resources. In addition, we expect to face further competition from Pharmacosmos A/S’s Monoferric® (ferric derisomaltose), which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in January 2020 for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (“IDA”) in adult patients who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron or who have non-hemodialysis dependent chronic kidney disease. Monoferric® is administered in a single-dose and does not contain a boxed warning, which healthcare providers or patients may prefer over Feraheme.
Further, our Feraheme revenues will be materially and adversely affected if a generic version of ferumoxytol is introduced to the market earlier than the expiration of our patents. In March 2018, we and Sandoz Inc. (“Sandoz”) entered a stipulation of dismissal pursuant to a settlement agreement that dismissed and resolved a patent infringement suit regarding an abbreviated new drug application (an “ANDA”) submitted to the FDA by Sandoz. As part of the settlement agreement, we waived any regulatory exclusivities granted by the FDA that would prevent or hinder approval of the Sandoz generic product. The settlement agreement further stipulated that, upon request from Sandoz, we would provide the FDA with a written confirmation of such waiver, which Sandoz recently requested and we provided. According to the terms of the settlement, if Sandoz receives FDA approval of its ANDA by a certain date stipulated in the settlement agreement, Sandoz may launch its generic version of Feraheme on July 15, 2021. Further, if Sandoz is unable to secure FDA approval of its ANDA by that certain date, Sandoz will be permitted to sell an authorized generic version of Feraheme supplied by us beginning on July 15, 2022 for up to 12 months. We have been working with Sandoz as they conduct quality diligence in preparation for this potential authorized generic partnership with us, which, if triggered under the terms of the settlement agreement, could potentially be disruptive to Feraheme.
If our sales are adversely impacted by the increasingly competitive landscape for Feraheme, including if Sandoz launches a generic formulation of Feraheme, we may have insufficient revenues and cash flows to service our indebtedness and/or support our development-stage products, which would have a material and negative impact on our long-term business and viability.
Makena revenue and our results of operations will be materially adversely impacted if the FDA withdraws Makena’s approval or changes its label or if healthcare providers are reluctant to continue prescribing Makena due to the results of the PROLONG trial and the recommendations of the Advisory Committee, including to withdraw the approval of Makena.

In March 2019, we announced topline results from the Progestin’s Role in Optimizing Neonatal Gestation clinical (“PROLONG” or “Trial 003”), which evaluated Makena in patients with a history of a prior spontaneous singleton preterm delivery. The PROLONG trial was conducted under the FDA’s “Subpart H” accelerated approval process to confirm the efficacy of the Meis trial (“Trial 002”), which supported Makena’s 2011 FDA approval. The PROLONG trial results did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo arms for the co-primary endpoints.

On October 29, 2019, the FDA’s Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee (the “Advisory Committee”) met to discuss the PROLONG study and provide the FDA input to inform the FDA’s regulatory decision for Makena. At the conclusion of the meeting, nine members of the Advisory Committee voted to recommend that the FDA withdraw its approval of Makena, seven voted to leave Makena on the market under accelerated approval and require a new confirmatory trial and no member voted to leave Makena on the market without requiring a new confirmatory trial. While the Advisory Committee’s recommendations are not binding, those recommendations will be considered by the FDA in deciding what regulatory steps to take with respect to Makena, which could result in a formal administrative hearing and/or withdraw the approval of Makena. The FDA’s decision may be further influenced by a recently filed Citizen Petition, which requested that the FDA withdraw its approval of Makena based on the failure of the Makena clinical data to establish evidence of efficacy for preterm birth. Although we responded to the Citizen Petition by providing the FDA with arguments to support the positive benefit-risk profile of Makena, we can provide no assurance that the FDA will agree with our position. If the FDA withdraws its

31




approval of Makena, our revenues and results of operations will be materially and adversely impacted, including due to the potential recognition of additional revenue reserves, inventory write-downs and payments for minimum purchase obligations of inventory. Even if the FDA were to decide against withdrawal of Makena from the market at this time, it is likely that the FDA would require us to generate additional data or conduct additional clinical trials as a condition to Makena’s continued commercialization. We may not be able to generate additional efficacy data that will be satisfactory to the FDA in a timely manner, or at all, and the generation of such data is likely to be costly and take a considerable amount of time to generate. Further, other organizations have conducted and may conduct additional studies that result in findings similar to those in the PROLONG study, which may influence the decisions and guidance provided by healthcare physicians or professional organizations related to the use of Makena. Additionally, in light of the results from the PROLONG study, including discussions and recommendations of the Advisory Committee and pending the FDA’s regulatory decision, healthcare providers have been and may continue to be reluctant to continue prescribing Makena, or the FDA may require that our label include information on the PROLONG study, restrictions to the current indication or the insertion of new warnings or precautions. Further, in light of the recommendation of the Advisory Committee that the FDA withdraw the approval of Makena, certain medical professional organizations and other societies could change their guidelines to physicians, which could cause payors to change the formulary coverage or reimbursement for Makena or health care practitioners could stop prescribing Makena. Any of these outcomes could negatively impact or prevent our ability to commercialize Makena, would materially and adversely impact our results of operations and could materially and adversely impact our stock price.

The commercial success of Makena (if approval is not ultimately withdrawn by the FDA) is exclusively dependent upon sales from the pre-filled subcutaneous auto-injector (the “Makena auto-injector”). Although there is no direct competition with the Makena auto-injector, the Makena auto-injector competes for the same patients as generic versions of the Makena intramuscular (“IM”) injection (the “Makena IM product”) and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to continue to convince patients or healthcare providers to use or to switch from using the IM method of administration to the auto-injector, including (1) if patients or healthcare providers are hesitant or apprehensive to use an auto-injector product due to perceptions regarding safety, efficacy or pain associated with the Makena auto-injector, or in light of the recommendations of the Advisory Committee or any actions taken by the FDA that negatively impact Makena, (2) if the auto-injector is not priced competitively or is not provided comparable insurance coverage, or (3) if there are concerns about our Makena supply chain more generally in light of the previous supply disruptions related to our Makena IM products or if we experience a similar supply disruption for the Makena auto-injector. We expect that the Makena auto-injector may continue to experience pricing and supply chain pressure (if approval is not ultimately withdrawn by the FDA) and as a result, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely impacted. If we are unsuccessful with any such efforts, Makena revenues could continue to be negatively and materially impacted, which could have a material and negative impact on our stock price and results of operations.

Further, we have incurred considerable expenses and our revenues have suffered as a result of the Makena IM supply disruption. We expect to continue to incur expenses as we pursue our remedies for these losses, including under our supply agreement with our third party manufacturer of the Makena IM products, which is costly to pursue and may not result in satisfactory, adequate or any compensation for the damages we suffered.

We may not be able to achieve and/or maintain profitability.

In recent years, our business strategy has gone through considerable transformation, and is expected to go through further changes as we pursue options for divesting Intrarosa and Vyleesi and reduce expenses related to Makena in light of the recommendations of the Advisory Committee and as we face competition, including from the generic market for Makena and potentially for Feraheme. As a result of these developments, we will become increasingly reliant on the Feraheme business to support our operations, including the significant resources which will be required to develop and commercialize AMAG-423 and ciraparantag, which is a lengthy and expensive process, before our product candidates might generate revenues, if at all. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses as we continue to develop AMAG-423 and ciraparantag. As a result of these substantial expenditures, we will need to generate sufficient revenues and/or access external sources of capital in future periods in order to develop our pipeline and maintain or increase our commercial footprint. Our ability to realize our near- and long-term goals, including achieving and maintaining profitability and positive cash flows, will depend in large part on our ability to manage our expenses and maintain or grow Feraheme, as well as numerous other factors including but not limited to:

Our ability to fund the development AMAG-423 and ciraparantag, progress our clinical development programs in a timely and cost-effective manner, and obtain FDA approval for these and any other products we might develop or acquire, in a timely manner, or at all;

Whether we can reach agreement with the FDA on a path to continue to make Makena commercially available, despite the recommendations of the Advisory Committee;


32




Our ability to obtain or maintain regulatory approval for our current and future products or product candidates and whether the FDA imposes any restrictions on the use or distribution of any approved products or other adverse regulatory actions;

The competitive landscape for our products, including the timing of new competing products (including generics) entering the market, and the level and speed at which competing products (current or new) experience market acceptance;

The relative price, constraints on pricing and the impact of price increases on our products, including the financial impact of certain programs we may implement and a recent increase in consolidation of pharmacy benefit managers (“PBM”) and managed care organizations;

The effectiveness of our marketing, sales and distribution strategies and operations and our ability to leverage our established relationships in the medical community and expand our access through contracting strategies;

Actual or perceived advantages or disadvantages of our products or product candidates as compared to alternative treatments, including their respective safety and efficacy profiles, potential convenience and ease of administration or cost effectiveness;

Our and our partners’ ability to enforce intellectual property rights in and to our products to prohibit a third-party from marketing a competing product (including a generic product) and our ability to avoid third-party patent interference or intellectual property infringement claims;

Our ability to manufacture our products in sufficient quantities to meet demand, including maintaining commercially viable manufacturing processes that are compliant with applicable laws and regulations (including current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”));

The impact of new safety or drug interaction issues that could arise as our products are used or studied over longer periods of time or used by a wider group of patients, some of whom may be taking other medicines or have additional underlying health problems;

Our ability to satisfactorily meet confirmatory trial requirements for drugs approved via the accelerated approval pathway;

Our ability to secure and maintain adequate reimbursement from insurance companies, government programs and third-party payers to optimize patient access and the willingness and ability of patients to pay for our products, including the willingness of healthcare providers to prescribe our products if more economical options are available; and

Our ability to maintain favorable, and to identify, assess and consummate potential, partnering relationships for our products and product candidates.

We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. There is no guarantee that we will generate sufficient revenues to support our business, or that we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability, if achieved, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to achieve positive cash flow from operations or generate sufficient cash to service our outstanding debt. If we are not successful in marketing and selling our products, particularly Feraheme, if revenues decrease below expectations, if our product candidates are not approved, if our operating expenses exceed our expectations, or if we are otherwise unable to achieve, maintain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock may decline.

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to service all of our indebtedness and other obligations.

As of December 31, 2019, we had $320.0 million of total debt outstanding consisting of our convertible notes due June 1, 2022 bearing interest at 3.25% annually (the “2022 Convertible Notes”) and approximately $171.8 million of cash and cash equivalents.
We generated negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2019 and while we expect to generate positive cash flows from continuing operations during 2020, these cash flows and our cash and cash equivalents on

33




hand in the aggregate will be insufficient to cash settle our 2022 Convertible Notes. We therefore expect that we will need to issue new securities, in the form of debt, equity or equity-linked, or some combination thereof. We may also utilize proceeds from a potential strategic collaboration or other transaction to manage our existing obligations.
Our ability to manage our debt obligations depends on our future performance, as well as economic, financial, competitive and other factors that may be beyond our control, including conditions in the debt and equity markets. Each of the alternatives described above, could carry onerous terms and may be highly dilutive to our stockholders. We may not be able to engage in any of these activities or engage in these activities on desirable terms, which could result in a default of our 2022 Convertible Notes obligations. In addition, if for any reason we are unable to meet our debt service and repayment obligations, we could be in breach of other agreements.
Further, holders of the 2022 Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (which includes certain change of control transactions, stockholder-approved liquidations and dissolutions and certain stock exchange delisting events) at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Upon conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes, unless we elect to deliver solely shares of our common stock to settle such conversion (other than paying cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share), we will be required to make cash payments in respect of the notes being converted. We may not have enough available cash or be able to obtain financing at the time we are required to make repurchases of the 2022 Convertible Notes upon an occurrence of a fundamental change. Further, because the indentures governing the 2022 Convertible Notes require that we elect the method by which we will settle conversions significantly in advance of when we are required to deliver the conversion consideration, we may not have sufficient cash available or be able to obtain financing at the time we are ultimately required to settle the 2022 Convertible Notes. Our failure to repurchase the 2022 Convertible Notes at a time when the repurchase is required by the indenture or to pay any cash payable on future conversions of the 2022 Convertible Notes would constitute an event of default.

We have limited experience with development stage products and cannot ensure that we will be successful in gaining approval of our product candidates, AMAG-423 and ciraparantag, or any product candidates that may be added to our pipeline, on a timely basis, or at all, and even if approved, we may not be successful in commercializing such products. Additionally, any approvals that we do obtain may contain unexpected FDA-imposed restrictions on the use or distribution of such products, which could adversely and materially affect our long-term success.

Our long-term success and ability to sustain and grow revenue depends upon our ability to continue to successfully develop our product candidates. Drug development is inherently risky, time consuming, unpredictable and costly. The FDA imposes substantial requirements on the development of such candidates to become eligible for marketing approval and has substantial discretion in the approval process.

We currently have two product candidates in our pipeline: AMAG-423, which is in development for the treatment of severe preeclampsia, and ciraparantag, which is in development for patients treated with novel oral anticoagulants or low molecular weight heparin when reversal of the anticoagulant effect of these products is needed for emergency surgery, urgent procedures or due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.

The approval of our current or future product candidates for commercial sale in the U.S. could be delayed, limited or denied or we may be required to conduct additional studies for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, that:

The FDA may determine that our product candidates do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in accordance with regulatory agency standards based on a number of considerations, including adverse medical events that are reported during the trials;

The FDA could analyze and/or interpret data from clinical trials and preclinical testing in different ways than we or our partners interpret them and determine that our data is insufficient for approval;

The FDA may require more information, including additional preclinical or clinical data or trials, to support approval;

Devices we may use in combination with our products may not be adequate or may not be considered adequate by the FDA, such as the coagulometer we intend to use in the Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical programs for ciraparantag;

The FDA could determine that our manufacturing processes are not properly designed, are not conducted in accordance with federal laws or otherwise not properly managed and we may be unable to establish, and obtain FDA approval for, a commercially viable manufacturing process for our product candidates in a timely manner, or at all;

34





The supply or quality of our product candidates for our clinical trials may be insufficient, inadequate or delayed, particularly with respect to AMAG-423, which is a biologic and involves a time intensive, complex manufacturing process;

The size of the patient population required to establish the efficacy of our product candidates to the satisfaction of the FDA may be larger than we anticipated;

The failure of clinical investigational sites and the records kept at such sites, including the clinical trial data, to be in compliance with the FDA’s current good clinical practices regulations (“cGCP”), including the failure to pass FDA inspections of clinical trial sites;

The FDA may change their approval policies or adopt new regulations;

The FDA may not be able to undertake reviews or approval processes in a timely fashion;

The results of the earlier clinical trials may not be representative of our future, larger trials, particularly since the presumed mechanism of action for certain of our products is not known or understood; for instance ciraparantag has only been studied in a small number of healthy volunteers;

The FDA may not agree with our regulatory approval strategies or components of our regulatory filings, such as the design or implementation of our clinical trials; for instance, we are relying on precedent to estimate the number of patients required in our Phase 3b ciraparantag trial prior to filing the New Drug Application (“NDA”), and the FDA may not agree with our approach and our other expectations for these clinical trials may not ultimately be approved by the FDA; or

A product may not be approved for the indications that we request.

Further, we have identified the following risks, which are specific to a particular development program:

AMAG-423

AMAG-423 is produced through a time intensive, complex process and there is currently only one third-party that can manufacture it, as further discussed below;

The Phase 2b/3a trial may produce negative or inconclusive results or may not demonstrate to the FDA’s satisfaction that AMAG-423 is safe and effective, particularly in light of the limited amount of data to date demonstrating that AMAG-423 effectively treats severe preeclampsia in this patient population;

Patient enrollment has been slower than expected and is likely to continue to be a slow process as severe preeclampsia can be a difficult patient population to enroll. For example, although we have expanded and continue to expand the trial sites to accelerate enrollment, enrollment continues to be slow and may take longer than expected for any number of factors, including failure of our third-party vendors (including our CROs) to effectively perform their obligations to us in a timely manner, a lack of patients who meet the enrollment criteria, our inability to establish sufficient trial sites, including outside of the U.S. due to regulatory requirements, in a timely manner, or our inability to secure sufficient supply of drug product to meet the clinical timeline due to the large number of global sites;

Under our agreement with BTG plc, we are required to differentiate our product from their product DigiFab® including without limitation, via labeling, dosage and/or formulation and if we are unable to show differentiation, we may be in breach of the agreement, which could give BTG the right to terminate the agreement and subject us to penalties; and

There is no FDA-approved treatment for severe preeclampsia and accordingly, there is not an established regulatory pathway, which may require us to conduct additional trials or otherwise delay the approval of AMAG-423.
 

35




Ciraparantag

The timing and/or complexity of our upcoming Phase 2b study could be negatively impacted for a number of reasons, including if (i) the FDA requires us to use a manual whole blood clotting time (“WBCT”) in addition to the automated coagulometer; (ii) the FDA requires us to explore additional dosing; (iii) we do not get agreement from the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (“CDER”) on our Phase 2b protocol in a timely manner, which would delay the Investigational Device Exception (“IDE”) submission timeline; or (iv) if the validation studies required by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (“CDRH”) to obtain the IDE for the coagulometer take longer than anticipated;

The coagulometer that we intend to use in the ciraparantag Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials has not yet received IDE approval or been used in clinical trials and therefore, the FDA may (i) determine that the device is not effective in measuring WBCT, and/or (ii) not grant the IDE, which is necessary prior to the use of the coagulometer in our clinical trials; in such circumstances, ciraparantag may not receive regulatory approval or its approval would be delayed. Moreover, the FDA may only approve ciraparantag in conjunction with the use of the coagulometer (i.e. as a companion diagnostic), which could affect the commercial viability of ciraparantag;

Our NDA filing for ciraparantag could be delayed if (i) we are not able to gain agreement with the FDA on CMC, clinical pharmacology or our pre-clinical program at our End of Phase 2 meeting, including having to conduct potential additional trials prior to commencing the Phase 3 program; (ii) if we are not eligible for the accelerated approval pathway or the FDA requires more patient data before filing than anticipated; or (iii) if the FDA requires additional Phase 3 trials.

Even if approved, ciraparantag may not be approved with all three novel oral anticoagulants (“NOACs”) as well as Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium injection), a low molecular weight heparin (“LMWH”), which could affect market acceptance and revenue.

In addition, AMAG-423 has received orphan drug designation from the FDA and we are pursuing orphan drug designation for ciraparantag. Under the Orphan Drug Act of 1983, the FDA may designate a product candidate as an orphan drug if it is intended to treat a rare disease or condition, defined, in part, as a patient population of fewer than 200,000. The company that first obtains FDA approval for a designated orphan drug for the specified rare disease or condition receives orphan drug marketing exclusivity for that drug for a period of seven years. We cannot guarantee that our clinical data or other information that we generate or submit will be adequate for AMAG-423 or ciraparantag to receive orphan drug exclusivity. Even after an orphan drug is approved, the FDA may subsequently approve another drug for the same condition if the FDA concludes that the latter drug is not the same drug or is clinically superior in that it is shown to be safer, more effective or makes a major contribution to patient care. In addition, orphan drug exclusivity marketing rights may be lost if the FDA later determines that the request for designation was materially defective or if the manufacturer is unable to assure sufficient quantity of the drug to meet the needs of patients with the rare disease or condition. If we do not receive orphan drug designation or orphan drug exclusivity, or if the FDA approves another drug for the same indication, we may have limited market exclusivity for these products, especially AMAG-423, which has limited patent protection.

Any failure, delay or setback in obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates, or setback resulting from our inability to sufficiently fund or otherwise support our pipeline, could adversely affect our ability to grow our business and leverage our product portfolio, and the future prospects of our business could be materially adversely affected. In addition, share prices have declined significantly in certain instances where companies have failed to obtain FDA approval of a product or where the timing of FDA approval is delayed. If we are required to conduct additional studies or our studies take longer than anticipated, our share price could decline significantly. Further, the market for products that address unmet medical needs is highly speculative and if we have over-estimated the market opportunity for any of our products or product candidates, or if we are unsuccessful in gaining market share, then our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Even if regulatory approval is granted by the FDA to market our current or future product candidates, the FDA may impose limitations on the indicated use for which the drug product may be marketed or require additional post-approval clinical trials or other requirements with which we would need to comply in order to maintain approval of these products. The occurrence of any of these scenarios could materially harm the commercial prospects of our product candidates and our business could be seriously harmed.

36




Competition in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, including from companies marketing generic products, is intense. If we fail to compete effectively, our business and market position will suffer.

The pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive and subject to rapid technological change. Our existing or potential competitors have or may develop products that are more widely accepted than ours, are viewed as more safe, effective, convenient or easier to administer, have been on the market longer and have stronger patient/provider loyalty, have been approved for a larger patient population, are less expensive or offer more attractive insurance coverage, discounts, reimbursements, incentives or rebates and may have or receive patent protection that dominates, blocks, makes obsolete or adversely affects our product development or business. Any such advantages enjoyed by our competitors could reduce our revenues and the value of our products.

Many of our competitors for Feraheme are large, well-known pharmaceutical companies and may benefit from significantly greater financial, sales and marketing capabilities, greater technological or competitive advantages, and other resources. Feraheme competes primarily with Injectafer®, a ferric carboxymaltose injection and Venofer®, an iron sucrose complex. In January 2020, Monoferric® (ferric derisomaltose) injection 100 mg/mL was approved by the FDA for the treatment of IDA in adult patients who have who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron or who have non-hemodialysis dependent CKD. Monoferric® is administered as a single 1,000 mg infusion and does not have a boxed warning. If patients and providers view the single dose infusion of Monoferric® as a more convenient option than treatment with Feraheme, our Feraheme sales could be negatively impacted as Monoferric® becomes more widely available in the U.S. In addition, there are a number of oral iron replacement therapies either approved, such as Auryxia® (ferric citrate), an oral phosphate binder, or in development, such as and hypoxia inducible factor stabilizers.

Makena competition currently comes mainly from five independent generic formulations of hydroxyprogesterone caproate (“HPC”) injections, as well as from pharmacies that compound a non-FDA approved version of Makena, all of which are sold at much lower list prices than our branded products. We also expect to continue to face competition for Makena from future generic products as well as products currently in development which offer additional formulations or routes of administration that doctors believe may reduce or prevent preterm birth, such as an oral HPC product.

Currently, the primary pharmaceutical competitor we expect ciraparantag, if approved, to compete with is Andexxa® (coagulation factor Xa (recombinant), inactivated-zhzo), which was approved in 2018 in the U.S. for the reversal of Xarelto®(rivaroxaban) and Eliquis®(apixaban), when reversal of anticoagulation is needed due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding, as well as in 2019 in Europe (under the trade name Ondexxya™). Andexxa® is also in development for the reversal of Savaysa®(edoxaban) and Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium injection).

Intrarosa faces competition from a number of approved products, both branded and generic, as well as certain over the counter and compounded remedies that are marketed for dyspareunia and over the counter and compounded products that contain dehydroepiandrosterone. The actual market size and market dynamics for moderate to severe dyspareunia due to menopause is uncertain. While we believe that Intrarosa, as the only FDA-approved, non-estrogen-containing vaginal insert to treat moderate to severe dyspareunia, has competitive advantages compared to estrogen-containing therapies, we may not be able to realize this perceived advantage in the market. Our commercial opportunity could be reduced if physicians or patients perceive that other products are more effective, convenient or safer than Intrarosa, or if they are less expensive than Intrarosa.

Vyleesi faces competition primarily from Addyi®(flibanserin), an FDA-approved product for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in pre-menopausal women as a daily-use oral drug. In addition, we are aware of several other drugs at various stages of development, most of which are being developed to be taken on a chronic, typically once-daily, basis. There may be other companies developing new drugs for female sexual dysfunction (“FSD”) indications other than HSDD, which may compete with Vyleesi, some of which may be in clinical trials in the U.S. or elsewhere. Vyleesi may also compete with products prescribed “off-label” by healthcare providers.

If we are unable to compete effectively against existing and future competitors, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. For further details on our competition, please see Item I, “Business - Competition.

Clinical product development involves a lengthy and expensive process, with uncertain timelines and outcomes. Any failure or delay in our clinical development programs could severely harm our business.

Clinical development is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take multiple years to complete and is inherently uncertain as to the ultimate timelines and outcomes. The results of preclinical testing or human clinical studies may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical trials and failure can occur at any stage of the clinical development process. We are currently conducting a Phase 2b/3a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study for AMAG-423. We are also planning to initiate a Phase 2b study for ciraparantag and expect to initiate our Phase 3 clinical development program following the completion of the Phase 2b study and an End-of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA. We may experience delays in these ongoing studies or any future clinical studies we or our partners conduct.

Clinical trials can be delayed, suspended or terminated for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:

Delay or failure to reach agreement with the FDA on a trial design, particularly with product candidates, such as ciraparantag or AMAG-423, where there is no current FDA-approved treatment and the endpoints in our ongoing AMAG-423 Phase 2b/3a trial have not been used in prior studies;

Delay or failure to reach agreement on acceptable terms with prospective contract research organizations (“CROs”) and clinical trial sites, failure by such CROs and trial sites to comply with regulatory requirements or study protocols, or clinical trial sites dropping out of the trial;

Our inability to manufacture, or obtain from third parties, adequate supply of drug product and substance sufficient to complete our clinical studies;

Delay or failure in obtaining the necessary approvals from regulators or institutional review boards (“IRBs”), including comparable foreign reviewing entities, in order to commence a clinical trial at a prospective trial site, or their suspension or termination of a clinical trial once commenced;

Imposition of a clinical hold for safety reasons or following an inspection of our or our partners’ clinical trial operations or trial sites by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

Slower than expected rate of patient enrollment or difficulty maintaining patients who have initiated participation in a clinical trial or for any post-treatment follow-up;

Problems with drug product or drug substance storage and distribution;

Difficultly adding new clinical trial sites on a timely basis, or at all:

Governmental or regulatory delays and changes in regulatory requirements, policy and guidelines, including guidelines specifically addressing requirements for the development of treatments for our product candidates;

Ambiguous or negative interim results, or results that are inconsistent with earlier results or that indicate unforeseen safety or efficacy issues; and

Feedback from the FDA, an IRB or other entity that requires modification of the study protocol.

If we terminate or experience delays in the completion of any of our ongoing or future clinical trials, our already significant development costs may increase, our regulatory approval process could be delayed and our ability to commercialize and commence sales of our product candidates may be harmed, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our inability to successfully fund and complete clinical studies or trials of our product candidates and demonstrate the efficacy and safety necessary to obtain regulatory approval to market any of our product candidates would significantly harm our business prospects, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, many of the reasons that cause or lead to a delay in the commencement or completion of our clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of our product candidates.

Our portfolio has undergone and is expected to continue to undergo considerable transformation and we may experience difficulties in managing this or future portfolio changes.

In recent years, we have considerably expanded our product portfolio with the addition of AMAG-423 and ciraparantag and have also undergone efforts to streamline our business, including with the 2018 sale of our Cord Blood Registry (“CBR”) business and the planned divestiture of our women’s health business. Management, personnel, systems and facilities have had to, and will continue to, undergo considerable changes, and we may not be able to retain or recruit qualified personnel in the future in this competitive environment or to successfully update our systems or processes to adequately support our evolving organization and portfolio changes. To manage this and any future changes effectively, we will be required to continue to manage the sales and marketing efforts for our existing products and the development of our product candidates, conform our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures, maintain benefit plans, and establish and increase our access to commercial supplies of our products, which will be challenging and for which we might not be successful. We will be required to right size our facilities, systems and equipment and manage our internal development efforts effectively while complying with our contractual obligations to licensors, licensees, contractors, collaborators, distributors and other third parties. In addition, management may have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities and towards managing these activities, which could be disruptive to our business. Our future financial performance and our ability to execute on our business plan will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage our recent and future changes. If we experience difficulties or are unsuccessful in managing our limited portfolio and development pipeline, including the impacts of our restructured commercial organization, our results of operations and stock price will be negatively impacted.

We are completely dependent on third parties to manufacture our products and any difficulties, disruptions, delays or unexpected costs, or the need to find alternative sources, could adversely affect our results of operations, profitability and future business prospects.

We do not own or operate facilities for the manufacture of our commercially distributed products. We rely solely on third-party contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) and our licensors (who, in turn, may also rely on CMOs) to manufacture our products for our commercial and clinical use. We or our licensors may not be able to enter into agreements with manufacturers or second source manufacturers whose facilities and procedures comply with cGMP regulations and other regulatory requirements on a timely basis and with terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Further, our ability to have our products manufactured in sufficient quantities and at acceptable costs to meet our commercial demand and clinical development needs is dependent on the uninterrupted and efficient operation of our CMO’s and our licensors’ manufacturing facilities. For example, as discussed above, Pfizer, our former primary drug product manufacturer of the Makena IM branded products, experienced manufacturing issues, which resulted in our inability to meet the demand for both our branded Makena IM products and the Makena authorized generic, both of which we ultimately had to discontinue during 2019. Any further or other difficulties, disruptions, or delays in the manufacturing process or supply chain could result in product defects, shipment delays, suspension of manufacturing of, sale of or clinical development for the product, recall or withdrawal of product previously shipped for commercial or clinical purposes, inventory write-offs, or the inability to meet commercial or clinical demand in a timely and cost-effective manner.
In some cases, we rely on single source manufacturers without a qualified alternative manufacturer. For example, we only have one manufacturing source for Vyleesi and the Makena auto-injector. We may encounter difficulties in the production of the these or other products, including problems involving quality control, assurance and product reliability. For instance, we have received certain complaints regarding auto-injector malfunction for Makena. These issues as well as potential issues regarding quality control, assurance and product-related scale-up, yields, and manufacturing costs, could result in significant delays in production or our inability to meet our demand for the auto-injector product. Securing additional third-party contract manufacturers will require significant time for validating the necessary manufacturing processes, gaining regulatory approval, and implementing the appropriate oversight and may increase the risk of certain problems, including cost overruns, process reproducibility, stability issues, the inability to deliver required quantities of product that conform to specifications in a timely manner, or the inability to manufacture our products in accordance with cGMP. Furthermore, none of our or our licensors’ current third-party drug product manufacturers supplies to us exclusively and as such they may exhaust some or all of their resources meeting the demand of other parties or themselves.
Further, we are completely dependent upon Endoceutics, Inc. (“Endoceutics”) to manufacture commercial supply of Intrarosa, and Endoceutics currently relies on a single CMO for such supply. Although Endoceutics has recently expanded its manufacturing and distribution capabilities, it has limited resources and experience overseeing CMOs and manufacturing products at commercial scale, which involves significant and complex regulatory and compliance obligations. Endoceutics has and is likely to continue to face challenges and difficulties in satisfying such obligations. For example, in September 2019, a Complete Response Letter was received from the FDA in response to our March 2019 regulatory filing to add a manufacturing

39




plant owned by Endoceutics, located in Canada, which would act as a second source supplier of Intrarosa. If we and Endoceutics are unable to adequately address the issues raised or provide the information requested by the FDA in a timely manner, or at all, we may experience significant delays in our efforts to obtain approval for the Endoceutics manufacturing plant or may not receive approval at all, which would leave Endoceutics, and ultimately us, entirely dependent upon Endoceutics’ current CMO, which has experienced issues in the past. In addition, Endoceutics has expanded its manufacturing obligations to include supplying their other partners who sell Intrarosa outside the U.S. As a result, Endoceutics could exhaust some or all of their resources meeting the demand of other parties and could fail to provide us with adequate supply of Intrarosa on a timely basis. Any failure of Endoceutics to provide us with sufficient amounts of Intrarosa could result in a shortage of our Intrarosa inventory, which could adversely impact our results of operations.
Furthermore, Endoceutics' assets, including the intellectual property licensed to us, are subject to a security interest held by a third-party lender. Accordingly, if Endoceutics fails to perform its obligations under its loan documents, our rights and remedies under the license agreement may be impaired or inadequate, which could jeopardize our supply of Intrarosa and revenue from the Intrarosa program.
AMAG-423 is an antibody fragment that is produced through a time intensive, complex process in which immunogens consisting of an analog of digoxin medication are produced and used to immunize sheep, which sheep then produce certain antibodies. These antibodies are collected, separated, purified, and formulated into digoxin immune fab (ovine). As discussed above, there is only one third-party that can manufacture AMAG-423 and which utilizes its own flock of sheep located entirely in Australia for the production of the antibodies used to produce AMAG-423. We currently have a commercial supply agreement to manufacture AMAG-423 drug substance and since there would only be one source of supply, if there are any disruptions to any part of the supply chain process, including the ability to obtain the ovum serum and other raw materials or any issues with the sheep used to produce the antibodies, such as diseases or natural disasters, our ability to complete the Phase 2b/3a trial or commercialize AMAG-423, if approved, would be adversely affected.
We currently do not have a commercial drug product supply agreement to manufacture ciraparantag and may not be able to enter into such agreement on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, even if we enter into such agreement, since there would likely only be one source of supply initially, if there are any disruptions to any part of the supply chain process, including the ability to obtain certain raw materials, our ability to complete our planned clinical trials or commercialize ciraparantag, if approved, would be adversely affected.
Further, we, our licensors and our respective CMOs currently purchase certain raw and other materials used to manufacture our products from third-party suppliers. These third-party suppliers may cease to produce the raw or other materials used in our products or as part of the administration of our products or otherwise fail to supply these materials to us, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers, or fail to supply sufficient quantities of these materials or supply materials that do not conform to specifications to us, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers in a timely manner for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, the following:
Adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier;

Unexpected demand for or shortage of raw or other materials;

Regulatory requirements or action;

An inability to provide timely scheduling and/or sufficient capacity;

Manufacturing difficulties;

Changes to the specifications of the materials such that they no longer meet our standards;

Lack of sufficient quantities or profit on the production of materials to interest suppliers;

Labor disputes or shortages;

Failure to comply with environmental regulations, such as rules and regulations relating to the handling, storage and discharge of hazardous waste;

Changes in material hazard classification, which could require changes to our manufacturing processes, which, in turn, could require regulatory approval;


40




Disruption due to political instability, civil unrest, war or terrorism, or pandemics or other natural disasters; or

Import or export problems.

For example, in December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19, or coronavirus, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, the impacts of which are unknown and rapidly evolving. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our ability to procure sufficient supplies for the development and commercialization of our products and product candidates will depend on the severity and duration of the spread of the coronavirus, and the actions undertaken to contain the coronavirus or treat its effects.

In addition, we, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers sometimes obtain raw or other materials from one vendor only, even where multiple sources are available, to maintain quality control and enhance working relationships with suppliers, which could make us susceptible to price inflation by the sole supplier, thereby increasing our production costs. As a result of the high-quality standards imposed on our raw or other materials, we, our licensors or our respective third-party manufacturers may not be able to obtain such materials of the quality required to manufacture our products from an alternative source on commercially reasonable terms, or in a timely manner, if at all.

If, because of the factors discussed above, we are unable to have our products manufactured on a timely or sufficient basis, we may not be able to meet clinical development needs or commercial demand for our products or product candidates or we may not be able to manufacture our products in a cost-effective manner. As a result, we may lose sales, fail to generate projected revenues or suffer development or regulatory setbacks, any of which could have an adverse impact on our profitability and future business prospects.

The success of our products depends on our ability to maintain the proprietary nature of our technology.

We rely on a combination of patents, trademarks and trade secrets in the conduct of our business. The patent positions of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical firms are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We may not be successful or timely in obtaining any patents for which we submit applications or the breadth of the claims obtained in our patents may not provide sufficient protection for our technology. The degree of protection afforded by patents for proprietary or licensed technologies or for future discoveries may not be adequate to preserve our ability to protect or commercially exploit those technologies or discoveries or to prevent others from doing so. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its scope, validity or enforceability, and our owned or licensed patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the U.S. or abroad. Such challenges may result in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, which could limit our ability to stop or prevent us from stopping others from using or commercializing similar or identical technologies and products, or limit the duration of the patent protection of our technology and products. In addition, our owned or licensed intellectual property might be subject to liens or encumbrances, which, as a result, may not provide us with sufficient rights to exclude others from developing and commercializing products similar or identical to ours. Therefore, the degree of protection afforded by our intellectual property may provide us with little or no competitive advantage. For example, digoxin immune fab (ovine), the active ingredient of AMAG-423, has been approved and marketed in the U.S. for many years for a different indication and accordingly, no longer has composition of matter patent protection. If possible, we plan to seek additional patent protection for AMAG-423 through patent applications; however, we may not be able to obtain additional patent protection that would provide us with a competitive advantage.

We currently hold a number of U.S. and foreign patents for our development and commercial products, including the following:

One U.S. patent related to Feraheme that will expire in June 2023 and other U.S. patents related to Feraheme that expire in 2020;
 
Two U.S. patents related to the Makena auto-injector product that will expire in 2036;

Four U.S. patents related to AMAG-423 that will expire in 2022, and several foreign patents that will expire in 2023; and

Two U.S. patents related to ciraparantag that will expire in 2032 and 2034, and several foreign patents that will expire in 2032.


41




We also rely on licensed patents for the protection of the products we are commercializing. Under our current license agreements we have rights to a number of U.S. and foreign patents and applications, including the following:

U.S. and foreign patents and applications licensed from Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”) related to Vyleesi that will expire in 2020 (one of which may be extended in the U.S. by up to five years under the Hatch-Waxman Act) and 2033;

U.S. patents licensed from Endoceutics related to Intrarosa that will expire in 2028 (one of which may be extended by up to five years under the Hatch-Waxman Act) and 2031; and

U.S. patents licensed from Antares Pharma, Inc. related to the Makena auto-injector product that will expire between 2026 and 2034.

These and any other patents owned by or licensed to us may be contested in litigation or reexamined or reviewed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”). Even if we come to a mutually acceptable settlement arrangement with an adverse party, we or they may become subject to increased regulatory scrutiny or be subject to formal or informal requests or investigations, including by the FDA, the Department of Justice or the Federal Trade Commission. If any present or future patents relied on for the development or commercialization of our products are narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, this could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.

In addition, although we believe that the patents related to each of our products or product candidates were rightfully issued and the respective portfolios give us sufficient freedom to operate, a third-party could assert that the development, manufacture or commercialization of any of our products or product candidates infringes its patents or other proprietary rights, potentially resulting in harm to our business and financial results. Further, the intellectual property rights that we own or license might be subject to liens or other encumbrances. If we are required to defend against such claims or to protect our own or our licensed proprietary rights against others, it could result in substantial financial and business costs as well as the distraction of our management. An adverse ruling in any litigation or administrative proceeding could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly, result in monetary damages, injunctive relief or otherwise harm our competitive position, including by limiting our marketing and selling activities, increasing the risk for generic competition, limiting our development and commercialization activities or requiring us to obtain licenses to use the relevant technology (which licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all).

There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We may become a party to intellectual property litigation or administrative proceedings, including interference or derivation, inter partes review, post grant review or reexamination proceedings before the USPTO. In addition, generic entrants could file an ANDA to seek approval of a generic form of one or more of our products. If an ANDA filer is ultimately successful in patent litigation against us, meets the requirements for a generic version of our branded product to the satisfaction of the FDA under its ANDA, and is able to supply the product in significant commercial quantities, the generic company could introduce a generic version to the market. For example, pursuant to the settlement agreement entered into with Sandoz in March 2018, Sandoz could introduce a generic version of ferumoxytol to the market earlier than the expiration of our patents. As noted above, if Sandoz receives FDA approval of its ANDA by a certain date, Sandoz may launch its generic version of Feraheme on July 15, 2021. The approval of Sandoz’s ANDA could cause our stock price to decline and our sales of Feraheme are expected to decline upon the availability of the generic, which would have an adverse impact on our business, including our development pipeline, and results of operations. Further, we may face similar suits in the future, including for our other products, which will be expensive and will consume considerable time and other resources, which could materially and adversely impact our business, especially if we have to divert resources from our commercialization or business development efforts.

We also rely upon unpatented trade secrets and improvements, unpatented know-how and continuing technological innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position, which we seek to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our corporate licensees, collaborators, contract manufacturers, employees and consultants. However, these agreements may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breaches, and our trade secrets and other confidential information might become known. In addition, we cannot be certain that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superseding proprietary technology, or that an equivalent product will not be marketed in competition with our products, thereby substantially reducing the value of our proprietary rights.

We depend, to a significant degree, on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payers for the use of our products, and a reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement, especially in light of generic competition, could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations.

Our ability to successfully commercialize our products is dependent, in significant part, on the availability and level of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, including governmental payers, private health insurers and other organizations. Coverage by third-party payers depends on a number of factors, including the third-party’s determination of a products’ clinical and cost effectiveness, both individually and within their therapeutic class.

There is a continued scrutiny, intensifying criticism and political focus on pharmaceutical pricing practices at both national and regional levels. U.S. state legislators are implementing a variety of regulations intended to increase the transparency of pharmaceutical pricing, which may lead to future price control regulations at state levels. Federally, multiple price control mechanisms have been suggested in the recent past, and bi-partisan focus on the issues remains a high priority. Consolidation of PBMs and managed care organizations is also increasing the pricing pressure in the commercial, Medicare Part D and Managed Medicaid marketplaces. Fewer independent decision makers in the PBM marketplace may lead to increased downward pressure on the prices of our products through increased rebates or discounts.
Certain specialty pharmaceutical companies, pharmaceutical companies and pricing strategies have been the subject of increased scrutiny and criticism by politicians and the media, which could also increase pricing pressure throughout the industry, or lead to new legislation that may limit our pricing flexibility or subject us to criticism and reputational harm in response to any price increases. Congress, the current presidential administration and prospective presidential candidates have each indicated that they will continue to pursue new legislative and/or administrative measures to control drug costs. The current presidential administration released a “Blueprint,” which contains certain measures that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is already working to implement, which focus in part on the cost of drugs. For example, in October 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) issued an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (“ANPRM”), indicating it is considering issuing a proposed rule on a model called the International Pricing Index. This model would utilize a basket of other countries’ prices as a reference for the Medicare program to use in reimbursing for drugs covered under Part B. The ANPRM also included an updated version of the Competitive Acquisition Program as an alternative to current “buy and bill” payment methods for Part B drugs. To date, a proposed rule has not yet been released. If third-party payers provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement for our products, physicians and other healthcare providers may choose to prescribe alternative products, including generics, which would have an adverse effect on our ability to generate revenues.
In addition, federal budgetary concerns could result in the implementation of significant federal spending cuts or regulatory changes, including cuts in Medicare and other health-related spending in the near-term or changes to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “ACA”). For example, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018, among other things, amends the ACA, effective January 1, 2019, to close the coverage gap in most Medicare drug plans, commonly referred to as the “donut hole”, which will shift cost for name brand drugs away from Part D participants and back to the manufacturers, which could have a negative effect on our profits. Further, in June 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the federal government was not required to pay more than $12.0 billion in ACA risk corridor payments to third-party payors. In December 2019, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments in Moda Health Plan, Inc. v. United States, which will determine whether the government must make risk corridor payments. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision will be released in the coming months, but we cannot predict how the U.S. Supreme Court will rule. These efforts could mean that third-party payors will not have the levels of funding historically available for coverage and reimbursement of our products, and the effects and risks to our business are not yet fully known. Further, the reimbursement and health care regulatory landscape have continued to evolve rapidly over recent months, including as a result of recent court decisions, making the healthcare landscape (and its impact on third-party payors, providers and our business, and on the viability of the ACA itself) unpredictable. In 2020, litigation, regulation, and legislation related to the ACA are likely to continue, with unpredictable and uncertain results. The extent, timing and details of the changes are not currently known, but the federally funded healthcare landscape could face significant changes during the current presidential administration, including in the near-term, and could impact state and local healthcare programs, including Medicaid and Medicare, which could also have a negative impact on our future operating results. The magnitude of the impact of these laws and developments on our business is uncertain. Medicare payment policy, in time, can also influence pricing and reimbursement in the non-Medicare markets, as private third-party payers and state Medicaid plans frequently adopt Medicare principles in setting reimbursement methodologies. These and any future changes in government regulation or private third-party payers’ reimbursement policies may reduce the extent of reimbursement for our products and adversely affect our future operating results.

The introduction of generic competition in a therapeutic category where our products are used may also affect the reimbursement policies of government authorities and third-party payers. Many generic first regulations, as well as policies and

43




practices promoting use of low cost alternatives, can place significant downward pressure on the use of our branded products. Additionally, clinical and cost effectiveness reviews of previously established coverage decisions post generic entry, may further limit coverage and the amount of reimbursement for branded medications when there is a generic available. Reimbursement levels or the lack of reimbursement may impact the demand for, or the price of, our branded products. In the U.S, continued increase in patient cost sharing, in the form of higher deductibles, copay and coinsurance levels, have led to patients being burdened with substantial out-of-pocket costs. New measures such as copay aggregators where the manufacturer’s payment assistance, such as copay and insurance cards, no longer count toward a patient’s deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, limit the overall benefit a manufacture can offer the patient. If reimbursement is not available or is available only at limited levels, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products, and/or our financial results from the sale of related products could be negatively and materially impacted.

Failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approval in international jurisdictions or to establish a commercialization organization, or partner with a third party to commercialize our products outside of the U.S., could prevent us from marketing certain of our products abroad and could limit the growth of our business.

We may attempt to market, including through a license partner, certain of our existing and future products, product candidates or certain indications outside of the U.S. In order to market our products in the European Union (“EU”) and many other foreign jurisdictions, we must obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by foreign regulatory authorities and the approval procedures in foreign jurisdictions can vary widely and can involve additional clinical trials and data review beyond that required by the FDA.

We have limited experience in preparing, filing and executing the applications necessary to gain foreign regulatory approvals or commercializing products outside of the U.S. and may need to rely on third-parties, including potential collaborators, to assist us with these processes. There are limited opportunities available that align with our business strategy and there can be no assurance that we will be able to identify or complete any additional transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, or that such transactions will be successfully integrated into our business. In addition, proposing, negotiating and implementing collaborations, in-licensing arrangements or acquisition agreements is a lengthy, complex, time-consuming and expensive process and such transactions are often subject to increasing regulatory oversight. Other companies, including those with substantially greater financial, marketing and sales resources, may compete with us for these arrangements, and we may not be able to enter into such arrangements on acceptable terms, or at all.

If we pursue regulatory approval outside of the U.S., we may not obtain approval on a timely basis, or at all, and therefore we may be unable to successfully commercialize our products internationally. Further, regulatory oversight and actions may be disrupted or delayed in regions particularly impacted by the coronavirus if regulators and industry professionals are expending significant and unexpected resources addressing the outbreak. Additionally, even if we obtain regulatory approval, we will need to establish a commercial organization, or partner with a third party, to commercialize our products in other territories. If we are unable to successfully establish a commercialization infrastructure or enter into an agreement with a third-party on acceptable terms, or at all, we are unlikely to be able to market our products outside of the U.S.

Lawsuits against us could cause us to incur substantial liabilities and an adverse determination in any current or future lawsuits in which we are a defendant could have a material adverse effect on us.

The administration of our products to, or the use of our products by, humans may expose us to liability claims, whether or not our products are actually at fault for causing any harm or injury. Makena is a prescription hormone medicine (progestin) used to lower the risk of preterm birth in women who are pregnant and who have previously delivered preterm in the past. It is not known if Makena is safe and effective in women who have other risk factors for preterm birth and in one clinical study, certain complications or events associated with pregnancy occurred more often in women who received Makena, including miscarriage (pregnancy loss before 20 weeks of pregnancy), hospital admission for preterm labor, preeclampsia, gestational hypertension and gestational diabetes. In addition, other hormones administered during pregnancy have in the past been shown to cross the placenta and have negative effects on the offspring.

We may also be the target of claims asserting violations of securities and fraud and abuse laws, derivative actions, consumer protection laws or other litigation, including contractual disputes. For example, in connection with the results of the PROLONG trial, we have recently been named as defendants in multiple class action suits alleging that we have made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the effectiveness of Makena in connection with its sale and marketing. In addition, the former equityholders of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara”) have filed a complaint against us alleging that we did not exercise commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell the Makena drug product and that we failed to achieve sales milestones for Makena, in breach of our 2014 merger agreement.

44





Any such litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could cause serious harm to our business, operating results and financial condition. As with any litigation, regardless of the merit or outcome, these claims or suits may decrease demand for our products, generate negative publicity, cause other parties to submit claims or demands, subject us to product recalls, harm our reputation and divert management’s time and attention. Further, we may not be successful in defending ourselves in a litigation and, as a result, our business could be materially harmed. These lawsuits may also result in large judgments or settlements against us, and, though we maintain liability insurance, if any judgment or settlement against us and costs or expenses associated with litigation exceed our insurance coverage or insurance coverage is denied, we may be forced to bear some or all of these costs and expenses directly, which could be substantial and have a negative effect on our financial condition and business.

We must work effectively and collaboratively with our licensors to develop, market and/or sell certain products in our portfolio.

We rely on our licensors for support with our in-licensed products and product candidates and are dependent upon our ability to work effectively and collaboratively with our licensors to develop, market and/or sell the licensed products in our portfolio, including to obtain or maintain regulatory approval. Our arrangements with licensors is critical to successfully bringing our licensed products to market and successfully commercializing them. We rely on our licensors in various respects, including progressing our development, regulatory and commercialization efforts. We do not control our licensors, some of whom may be inexperienced, have a limited operating history, face financial and business hardships (including solvency issues), have limited operations or financial or other resources or have limited or no experience with commercialization activities; therefore, we cannot ensure that these third parties will adequately and timely perform all of their obligations to us. For example, we are dependent upon the contributions of Endoceutics, a small company, to exclusively provide us with all commercial supply and conduct certain clinical and commercialization activities. We cannot guarantee the satisfactory performance of any of our licensors and if any of our licensors breach or terminate their agreements with us, we may not be able to successfully commercialize the licensed product, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

Further, even if contractual safeguards are in place in our licensing arrangements, our licensors may use their own or other technology to develop an alternative product and withdraw their support of the licensed product, or compete with the licensed product. Our licensing arrangements could also limit our activities, including our ability to compete with our licensors in certain geographic or therapeutic areas. For example, Endoceutics’ assets, including the intellectual property licensed to us, are subject to a security interest held by a third-party lender, and therefore our rights and remedies under the license agreement may be impaired or inadequate. Disputes may arise between us and a licensor and may involve the ownership of technology developed under a license, the level of commercialization or other efforts or business decisions, or other issues arising out of collaborative agreements.

In addition, we must work collaboratively with our partners to conduct various activities and if we cannot do so effectively, disagreements could arise. Such disagreements could delay the related program or result in distraction or expensive arbitration or litigation, which may not be resolved in our favor. For example, in order for our divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi to be executed smoothly, we will need to collaborate with Endoceutics and Palatin in our efforts to consummate any divestiture.

Our license and purchase agreements contain complex provisions and impose various milestone payment, royalty, insurance, diligence, reporting and other obligations on us. If we fail to comply with our obligations, our partners may have the right to terminate the license agreement, in which event we would not be able to continue developing or commercializing the licensed products, or we may incur additional costs or may be required to litigate any disputes. If our partners allege that we have breached our obligations under such arrangements, even if such allegations are without merit, such allegations could be disruptive to or interfere with our operations and business strategy, and defending such allegations, including complying with any audit, reporting or dispute resolution provisions of such agreement, or conducting any investigations, can be expensive and utilize considerable amounts of management’s time and efforts. For example, under the terms of each of our agreements with Endoceutics and Palatin, we are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts in the sale of Intrarosa and Vyleesi, respectively, and if either party alleges that we are in violation of these obligations, we may incur significant disruptions and/or expense defending our efforts. Termination of a license agreement or reduction or elimination of our licensed rights may result in our having to negotiate new or reinstated licenses with less favorable terms, and, if we lose rights to the licensed products it could materially and adversely affect our business.


45




We rely on third parties in the conduct of our business, including our clinical trials and product distribution, and if they fail to fulfill their obligations, our commercialization and development plans may be adversely affected.

We rely on and intend to continue to rely on third parties, including licensors, CROs, healthcare providers, third-party logistics providers, packaging, storage and labeling providers, wholesale distributors and certain other important vendors and consultants in the conduct of our business. For example, we contract with, and plan to continue to contract with, certain CROs to provide clinical trial services for the development of our product candidates or expansion of product indications, including site selection, enrollment, monitoring, data management and other services, in connection with the conduct of our clinical trials and the preparation and filing of our regulatory applications.

Although we depend heavily on these parties, we do not control them and, therefore, we cannot ensure that these third parties will adequately and timely perform all of their obligations to us. If our third-party service providers cannot adequately fulfill their obligations to us in a timely and satisfactory manner, if the quality and accuracy of our clinical trial data or our regulatory submissions are compromised due to poor quality or failure to adhere to our protocols or regulatory requirements, or if such third parties otherwise fail to adequately discharge their responsibilities or meet deadlines, our current and future development plans and regulatory submissions, or our commercialization efforts in current indications, may be delayed, terminated, limited or subject us to additional expense or regulatory action, which would adversely impact our ability to generate revenues. For example, we are relying on Perosphere Technologies, Inc. (“Perosphere Technologies”), an independent company, to obtain FDA approval of an IDE for use of an automated coagulometer developed by Perosphere Technologies to measure WBCT in our Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical development programs for ciraparantag.

Further, in many cases, we do not currently have back-up providers to perform these tasks. If any of these third parties experience significant difficulties in their respective processes, fail to maintain compliance with applicable legal or regulatory requirements, fail to meet expected deadlines or otherwise do not carry out their contractual duties to us or our licensors, or encounter physical or natural damages at their facilities, our ability to deliver our products to meet commercial demand could be significantly impaired. The loss of any third-party provider, especially if compounded by a delay or inability to secure an alternate distribution source for end-users in a timely manner, could cause the distribution of our products to be delayed or interrupted, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Additionally, we have limited experience independently commercializing multiple pharmaceutical products and collaborating with partners to commercialize multiple licensed products, including managing and maintaining a supply chain and distribution network for multiple products, and we are placing substantial reliance on licensors and other third parties to perform this expanded network of supply chain and distribution services for us. For example, we rely on may have to rely on other parties with whom we may enter into future agreements, to perform or oversee certain functions, such as supply, research and development, or the regulatory process for the product we license from them, and any failure of such party to perform these functions for any reason, including ceasing doing business, could have a material effect on our ability to commercialize the product.

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease, such as COVID-19, or coronavirus, may materially and adversely affect our business and our financial results.

The recent outbreak of COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and has since spread to multiple countries, including the United States and several European countries where we are currently conducting our AMAG-423 Phase 2b/3b study. Such events may result in a period of business disruption, including reduced sales or delays in our clinical studies. For example, the spread of COVID-19 in the United States may result in travel restrictions impacting our sales professionals or hospitals may limit access for non-patients, including our sales professionals, which could negatively impact our access to physicians. The spread of COVID-19, or another infectious disease, could also result in delays or disruptions in the supply of our products and product candidates. The continued spread of COVID-19 globally could adversely impact our clinical trial operations in the United States and in Europe, including our ability to recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19 if an outbreak occurs in their geography. COVID-19 may also affect employees of third-party contract research organizations located in affected geographies that we rely upon to carry out our clinical trials. We cannot presently predict the scope and severity of any potential business shutdowns or disruptions, but if we or any of the third parties with whom we engage were to experience shutdowns or other business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially and negatively impacted, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our results of operation and financial condition.

Our success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees, including the hiring of a new chief executive officer, and any failure to do so may be disruptive to our operations.

We are a pharmaceutical company focused on marketing our commercial products and developing our product candidates and the range of skills of our executive officers and management therefore needs to be broad and deep. If we are not able to hire and retain talent to drive commercialization, development and the expansion of our portfolio, we will be unlikely to maintain or increase our profitability. Because of the specialized and broad nature of our business, including both commercialized and development-stage products, our success depends to a significant extent on our ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate qualified sales, technical operations, managerial, scientific, regulatory compliance and medical personnel of all levels. The loss of key personnel or our inability to hire and retain personnel who have such sales, technical operations, managerial, scientific, regulatory compliance and medical backgrounds could materially adversely affect our business (including research and development efforts). In January 2020, we announced that William Heiden will step down as our President and Chief Executive Officer after approximately eight years leading the company. While our Board conducts a search to identify a successor, Mr. Heiden will remain in his current position until his successor is appointed or June 30, 2020 if no successor is appointed by then. In addition, in January 2020 we also announced that we are currently pursuing options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi. The uncertainty regarding our intended divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi could harm our ability to attract and retain qualified key personnel, including qualified candidates for the role of Chief Executive Officer, in a timely manner or at all. Further, it may be difficult to attract key employees until we have identified a new Chief Executive Officer. These changes may be disruptive to our operations, including by distracting management from our core business and affecting employee productivity and morale. Further, if there are delays with the selection of a new Chief Executive Officer, or if we do not successfully manage the transition, our business may be negatively impacted.

Risks Related to Regulatory Matters

There have been, and we expect there will continue to be, a number of federal and state legislative initiatives implemented to reform the U.S. healthcare system in ways that could adversely impact our business and our ability to sell our products profitably.

We expect that the ACA, as currently enacted or as it may be amended in the future, the 21st Century Cures Act, and other healthcare reform measures that may be adopted in the future, could have a material adverse effect on our industry generally and on our ability to maintain or increase our sales. These changes might impact existing government healthcare programs and may result in the development of new programs, including Medicare payment for performance initiatives and improvements to the physician quality reporting system and feedback program. Changes that may affect our business include, but are not limited to, those governing enrollment in federal healthcare programs, reimbursement changes, rules regarding prescription drug benefits under the health insurance exchanges, expansion of the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program, Medicare, the 340B Drug Pricing Program under the Public Health Services Act (the “340B Program”), and fraud and abuse enforcement. For example, beginning April 1, 2013, Medicare payments for all items under Parts A and B, including drugs and biologics, and most payments to plans under Medicare Part D were reduced by 2% under the sequestration (i.e., automatic spending reductions) required by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (the “BCA”) as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The BCA requires sequestration for most federal programs, excluding Medicaid, Social Security, and certain other programs. The BCA caps the cuts to Medicare payments for items at 2% and subsequent legislation extended the 2% reduction, on average, to 2029.

We cannot predict the impact that newly enacted laws or any future legislation or regulation will have on us. We expect that there will continue to be a number of U.S. federal and state proposals to implement governmental pricing controls and limit the growth of healthcare costs. These efforts could adversely affect our business by, among other things, limiting the prices that can be charged for our products, or the amount of reimbursement rates and terms available from governmental agencies or third-party payers, limiting the profitability of our products, increasing our rebate liability or limiting the commercial opportunities for our products, including acceptance by healthcare payers or increasing scrutiny and publication of prices and announced price increases.

Our partners, including our licensors, are subject to similar requirements and thus the attendant risks and uncertainties. If our partners, including our licensors, suffer material and adverse effects from such risks and uncertainties, our rights and benefits for our licensed products could be negatively impacted, which could have a material and adverse impact on our revenues.


47




If our products are marketed or distributed in a manner that violates federal or state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, marketing disclosure laws or other federal or state laws and regulations, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties.

In addition to FDA and related regulatory requirements, our general operations, and the research, development, manufacture, sale and marketing of our products, are subject to extensive additional federal and state healthcare regulation, including the Federal Anti-Kickback Statute and the Federal False Claims Act (“FCA”) (and their state analogues), as discussed above in Item 1 under the heading “Government Regulation - Fraud and Abuse Regulation.” If we or our partners, such as licensors, fail to comply with any federal and state laws or regulations governing our industry, we could be subject to administrative, criminal and civil penalties and a range of regulatory actions that could adversely affect our ability to commercialize our products, harm or prevent sales of our products, or substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing our products, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In recent years, CMS has been actively proposing and implementing changes to the list of business practices that are protected by “safe harbors.” There is inherent risk and uncertainty in any changing regulatory environment as companies work to transition business practices to conform with new regulations.

Our activities relating to the sale and marketing of our products may be subject to scrutiny under these laws, and private individuals have been active in bringing so-called “whistleblower” lawsuits on behalf of the government (as “Relators”) under the FCA and similar regulations in other countries. In addition, incentives exist under applicable U.S. law that encourage employees and physicians to report violations of rules governing promotional activities for pharmaceutical products. These incentives could lead to FCA lawsuits, which attempt to recoup moneys paid by government agencies and extract penalties from manufacturers. For example, federal enforcement agencies have recently pursued enforcement actions against pharmaceutical companies’ product and patient assistance programs, including relationships with specialty pharmacies, and support for charitable foundations providing patients with co-pay assistance. In addition, Relators have filed lawsuits involving manufacturer reimbursement support services as well as promotion of pharmaceutical products beyond labeled claims. Some FCA lawsuits have resulted in government enforcement authorities obtaining significant civil and criminal settlements. Such lawsuits, whether with or without merit, are typically time-consuming and costly to defend. Such suits may also result in related shareholder lawsuits, which are also costly to defend.

Further, the FDA and other regulatory agencies strictly regulate the promotional claims that may be made about prescription products. A product may not be promoted for uses that are not approved by the FDA as reflected in the product’s approved labeling. FDA also regulates the content of promotional material, including, among other things, the presentation of efficacy information, the types of comparative claims that can be made to distinguish products from those with similar indications, and the balance of risk information provided. For drug products like Makena that are approved by the FDA under the FDA’s accelerated approval regulations, unless otherwise informed by the FDA, the sponsor must submit promotional materials at least 30 days prior to the intended time of initial dissemination of the promotional materials, which delays and may negatively impact our commercial team’s ability to implement changes to Makena’s marketing materials, thereby negatively impacting revenues. For other products, FDA does not review promotional materials prior to dissemination but does issue “Untitled Letters” or “Warning Letters” if it objects to content that has been used promotionally. The FDA may also withdraw approval of drug products under certain conditions. In particular, under the provisions of the FDA’s “Subpart H” Accelerated Approval regulations, the FDA may withdraw approval of Makena if, among other things, the promotional materials are false or misleading, or other evidence demonstrates that Makena is not shown to be safe or effective under its conditions of use.

In recent years, in addition to federal legislation related to transparency reporting of transfers of value to healthcare providers and healthcare organizations, several states have enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to file periodic reports. Several states have adopted legislation to require pharmaceutical companies to establish marketing and promotional compliance programs or codes of conduct and/or to file periodic reports with the state or make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials, and other activities. Several states have also adopted laws that prohibit certain marketing-related activities, including the provision of gifts, meals or other items to certain healthcare providers.

We have developed and implemented a corporate compliance program based on what we believe are current best practices in the pharmaceutical industry; however, relevant compliance laws are broad in scope and there may not be regulations, guidance or court decisions that definitively interpret these laws in the context of particular industry practices. We cannot guarantee that we, our employees, our partners, our consultants or our contractors are or will be in compliance with all federal and state regulations. If we, our partners, or our representatives fail to comply with any of these laws or regulations, a range of fines, penalties and/or other sanctions and regulatory actions could be imposed on us, including, but not limited to, restrictions on how we market and sell our products, significant fines, exclusions from government healthcare programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, litigation, or other sanctions. Even if we are not determined to have violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which

48




could also have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Such investigations or suits may also result in related shareholder lawsuits, which can also have an adverse effect on our business.

Our partners, including our licensors, are subject to similar requirements and obligations as well as the attendant risks and uncertainties. If our partners, including our licensors, suffer material and adverse effects from such risks and uncertainties, our rights and benefits for our licensed products could be negatively impacted, which could have a material and adverse impact on our revenues.

If we fail to comply with our reporting and payment obligations under governmental pricing programs, we could be required to reimburse government programs for underpayments and could pay penalties, sanctions and fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

As a condition of reimbursement by various federal and state health insurance programs, we are required to calculate and report certain pricing information to federal and state agencies. Please see our discussion above in Item 1 under the heading, “Pharmaceutical Pricing and Reimbursement” for more information regarding price reporting obligations under the 340B Program and the Department of Veterans Affairs Federal Supply Schedule (the “FSS”) program.

The regulations governing the calculations, price reporting and payment obligations are complex and subject to interpretation by various government and regulatory agencies, as well as the courts. Reasonable assumptions have been made where there is lack of regulations or clear guidance and such assumptions involve subjective decisions and estimates. We are required to report any revisions to our calculations, price reporting and payment obligations previously reported or paid. Such revisions could affect our liability to federal and state payers and also adversely impact our reported financial results of operations in the period of such restatement.

Uncertainty exists as new laws, regulations, judicial decisions, or new interpretations of existing laws, or regulations related to our calculations, price reporting or payments obligations increases the chances of a legal challenge, restatement or investigation. If we become subject to investigations, restatements, or other inquiries concerning our compliance with price reporting laws and regulations, we could be required to pay or be subject to additional reimbursements, penalties, sanctions or fines, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, it is possible that future healthcare reform measures could be adopted which could result in increased pressure on pricing and reimbursement of our products and thus have an adverse impact on our financial position or business operations.

Further, state Medicaid programs may be slow to invoice pharmaceutical companies for calculated rebates resulting in a significant lag between the time a sale is recorded and the time the rebate is paid. For example, based on lagged Medicaid claims submitted during 2019, we recognized a significant prior period change in estimate for the Makena IM product. As a result, we are required to carry a substantial liability on our consolidated balance sheets for the estimate of rebate claims expected for Medicaid patients. More than half of Makena auto-injector sales are reimbursed through state Medicaid programs and are subject to the statutory Medicaid rebate, and in many cases, supplemental rebates offered by us. If actual claims are higher than current estimates, our financial position and results of operations could be adversely affected.

In addition to retroactive rebates and the potential for 340B Program refunds, if we are found to have knowingly submitted any false price information related to the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program to CMS, we may be liable for civil monetary penalties. Such failure could also be grounds for CMS to terminate our Medicaid drug rebate agreement, pursuant to which we participate in the Medicaid program. In the event that CMS terminates our rebate agreement, federal payments may not be available under government programs, including Medicaid or Medicare Part B, for our covered outpatient drugs.

Additionally, if we overcharge the government in connection with the FSS program or Tricare Retail Pharmacy Program, whether due to a misstated Federal Ceiling Price or otherwise, we are required to refund any overpayment to the government. Failure to make necessary disclosures and/or to identify contract overcharges can result in allegations against us under the FCA and other laws and regulations. Unexpected refunds to the government, and responding to a government investigation or enforcement action, would be expensive and time-consuming, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.


49




We are subject to ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight of our products, and any failure by us to maintain compliance with applicable regulations may result in several adverse consequences including the suspension of the manufacturing, marketing and sale of our respective products, the incurrence of significant additional expense and other limitations on our ability to commercialize our respective products.

We are subject to ongoing regulatory requirements and review, including periodic audits pertaining to the development, manufacture, labeling, packaging, adverse event reporting, distribution, storage, marketing, promotion, record keeping and export of our respective products. Failure to comply with such regulatory requirements or the later discovery of previously unknown problems with the manufacture, distributions and storage of our products, or our third-party contract manufacturing facilities or processes by which we manufacture our products may result in restrictions on our ability to develop, manufacture, market, distribute or sell our products, including potential withdrawal of our products from the market. Any such restrictions could slow or stop production development or result in decreased sales, damage to our reputation or the initiation of lawsuits against us and/or our third-party contract manufacturers. We may also be subject to additional sanctions, including, but not limited, to the following:

Warning letters, public warnings and untitled letters;

Court-ordered seizures or injunctions;

Civil or criminal penalties, or criminal prosecutions;

Variation, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals for our products;

Changes to the package insert of our products, such as additional warnings regarding potential side effects or potential limitations on the current dosage or administration;

Requirements to communicate with physicians and other customers about concerns related to actual or potential safety, efficacy, or other issues involving our products;

Implementation of risk mitigation programs and post-approval obligations;

Restrictions on our continued manufacturing, marketing, distribution or sale of our products;

Temporary or permanent closing of the facilities of our third-party contract manufacturers;

Interruption or suspension of clinical trials; and

Refusal by regulators to consider or approve applications for additional indications.

Any of the above sanctions could have a material adverse impact on our revenues and profitability or the value of our brand, and cause us to incur significant additional expenses.

In addition, if our products face any safety or efficacy issues, including drug interaction problems, under the The Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), the FDA has broad authority to force us to take any number of actions, including, but not limited to, the following:

Requiring us to conduct post-approval clinical studies to assess product efficacy or known risks or new signals of serious risks, or to evaluate unexpected serious risks;

Mandating changes to a product’s label;

Requiring us to implement a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy where necessary to assure safe use of the drug; or

Removing an already approved product from the market.

Further, our partners, including our licensors, are subject to similar requirements and obligations as well as the attendant risks and uncertainties. If our partners, including our licensors, suffer material and adverse effects from such risks and uncertainties, our rights and benefits for our licensed products could be negatively impacted, which could have a material and adverse impact on our revenues.

50




Regulators could determine that our clinical trials and/or our manufacturing processes, and/or our storage or those of our third parties, were not properly designed or are not properly operated, which could cause significant costs or setbacks for approval of our product candidates or our commercialization activities.

We are obligated to conduct, and are in the process of conducting, clinical trials for certain of our product candidates and certain post-approval clinical trials for certain of our products and we may be required to conduct additional clinical trials, including if we pursue approval of additional indications, new formulations or methods of administration for our products, seek commercialization in other jurisdictions, or in support of our current indications. The FDA could determine that our clinical trials, or those of our licensors, and/or our or their manufacturing processes were not properly designed, did not include enough patients or appropriate administration, were not conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, or were otherwise not properly managed. In addition, according to cGCP we and/or our licensors are responsible for conducting, recording and reporting the results of clinical trials to ensure that the data and results are credible and accurate and that the trial participants are adequately protected. The FDA may conduct inspections of clinical investigator sites which are involved in clinical development programs for our proprietary or licensed products to ensure their compliance with cGCP regulations. If the FDA determines that we, our licensors, our respective CROs or our respective study sites fail to comply with applicable cGCP regulations, the FDA may deem the clinical data generated in such clinical trials to be unreliable and may disqualify certain data generated from those sites or require us and/or our licensors to perform additional clinical trials. For example, many of the clinical trials for our development programs that we have acquired or in-licensed were conducted by small companies that might have had fewer controls or oversight related to their clinical programs. Clinical trials and manufacturing processes are subject to similar risks and uncertainties outside of the U.S. Any such deficiency in the design, implementation or oversight of clinical development programs or post-approval clinical studies could cause us to incur significant additional costs, experience delays or prevent us from commercializing our approved products in their current indications, or obtaining marketing approval for additional indications for our products or product candidates, including AMAG-423 and ciraparantag.

Further, our third-party contract manufacturing facilities and those of our licensors are subject to cGMP regulations enforced by the FDA and equivalent foreign regulations and regulatory agencies through periodic inspections to confirm such compliance. Contract manufacturers must continually expend time, money and effort in production, record-keeping and quality assurance and control to ensure that these manufacturing facilities meet applicable regulatory requirements. Failure to maintain ongoing compliance with cGMP or similar foreign regulations and other applicable manufacturing requirements of various U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies could result in, among other things, the issuance of warning letters, fines, the withdrawal or recall of our products from the marketplace, failure to approve product candidates for commercialization, total or partial suspension of product production, the loss of inventory, suspension of the review of our or our licensors’ current or future NDAs, BLAs or equivalent foreign filings, enforcement actions, injunctions or criminal prosecution and suspension of manufacturing authorizations. For example, as discussed above, Pfizer, our former primary drug product manufacturer of the Makena branded products, experienced manufacturing issues, which resulted in our inability to meet the demand for both our branded Makena products and the Makena authorized generic, both of which we ultimately had to discontinue during 2019. A government-mandated recall or a voluntary recall could divert managerial and financial resources, could be difficult and costly to correct, could result in the suspension of sales of our products and reputational harm, and could have a severe adverse impact on our profitability and the future prospects of our business. If any regulatory agency inspects any of these manufacturing facilities and determines that they are not in compliance with cGMP or similar regulations or our contract manufacturers otherwise determine that they are not in compliance with these regulations, as applicable, such contract manufacturers could experience an inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of product to meet demand or incur unanticipated compliance expenditures.

We and our licensors have also established certain testing and release specifications with the FDA. This release testing must be performed in order to allow products to be used for commercial sale. If a product does not meet these release specifications or if the release testing is variable, we may not be able to supply product to meet our projected demand. We monitor annual batches of our products for ongoing stability after it has been released for commercial sale. If a particular batch of product exhibits variations in its stability or begins to generate test results that demonstrate an adverse trend against our specifications, we may need to conduct an investigation into the test results, quarantine the product to prevent further use, destroy existing inventory no longer acceptable for commercial sale, or recall the batch or batches. If we or our licensors are unable to develop, validate, transfer or gain regulatory approval for the new release test, our ability to supply product will be adversely affected. Such setbacks could have an adverse impact on our revenues, our profitability and the future prospects of our business.


51




Our failure to comply with data protection laws and regulations could lead to government enforcement actions (which could include civil or criminal penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business.

We are subject to complex laws and regulations that address data privacy and information security. The legislative and regulatory landscape for data protection continues to evolve, and in recent years there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data security issues. In the U.S., numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state data breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of health-related and other personal information. For example, the State of California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (the “CCPA”), which came into effect on January 1, 2020 and provides new data privacy rights for consumers and new operational requirements for companies, which may increase our compliance costs and potential liability. The CCPA gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used. While there is currently an exception for protected health information that is subject to HIPAA and clinical trial regulations, as currently written, the CCPA may impact certain of our business activities. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for data breaches that is expected to increase data breach litigation. The CCPA could mark the beginning of a trend toward more stringent state and/or federal privacy legislation in the U.S., which could increase our potential liability and adversely affect our business.
In addition, in the course of our business, we may obtain health information from third parties (e.g., healthcare providers who prescribe our products) that is subject to privacy and security requirements under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITECH”). Although we are not directly subject to HIPAA (other than potentially with respect to providing certain employee benefits) we could be subject to criminal penalties if we knowingly obtain or disclose individually identifiable health information maintained by a HIPAA-covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by HIPAA/HITECH.
We could also be negatively impacted by existing and proposed laws and regulations, as well as government policies and practices related to cybersecurity, data privacy, data localization and data protection outside of the U.S., such as the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which took effect in the EU in May 2018. The GDPR extended the geographical scope of EU data protection law to non-EU entities under certain conditions, tightened existing EU data protection principles and created new obligations for companies and new rights for individuals. Although we believe we are in compliance the applicable provisions of the GDPR, GDPR guidance, interpretation and enforcement are still developing and may change. The GDPR may increase our responsibility and potential liability in relation to personal data that we process, expose us to substantial potential fines and increase our compliance costs. The GDPR could also cause our development costs to increase in connection with clinical trials we are currently conducting and may conduct in the future in the EU for our products and product candidates.
Failure by us or our third party vendors to comply with data protection laws and regulations both within and outside of the U.S. could result in government enforcement actions (which could include civil or criminal penalties), private litigation, and/or adverse publicity and could negatively affect our operating results and business.
Significant disruptions of information technology systems or data breaches could adversely affect our business.
We are increasingly dependent upon information technology systems, infrastructure, and data to operate our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store, and transmit large amounts of confidential information (including, but not limited to, intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information). It is critical that we do so in a secure manner to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. We also have outsourced elements of our operations to third parties, and as a result we manage a number of third-party vendors who may or could have access to our confidential information. The size and complexity of our information technology systems, and those of third-party vendors with whom we contract, and the large amounts of confidential information stored on those systems, make such systems potentially vulnerable to service interruptions or to data breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, third-party vendors, and/or business partners, or from cyber-attacks by malicious third parties. Cyber-attacks are increasing in their frequency, sophistication, and intensity, and have become increasingly difficult to detect. Cyber-attacks could include the deployment of harmful malware, denial-of-service attacks, social engineering (including phishing), ransomware, and other means to affect service reliability and threaten the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information. We have from time to time experienced, and may continue to experience in the future, cyber attacks on our information technology systems despite our best efforts to prevent them.
Significant disruptions of our information technology systems or data breaches could adversely affect our business operations and/or result in the loss, misappropriation, and/or unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of, or the prevention of access to, confidential information (including, but not limited to, trade secrets or other intellectual property, proprietary business information, and personal information), and could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us. Any

52




such event that leads to unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information, including personal information regarding our patients or employees, could harm our reputation, require us to comply with federal and/or state breach notification laws and foreign law equivalents, and otherwise subject us to liability under laws and regulations that protect the privacy and security of personal information. Data breaches and other inappropriate access can be difficult to detect, and any delay in identifying them may lead to increased harm of the type described above. While we have implemented security measures and controls to protect our information technology systems and infrastructure, there can be no assurance that such measures will prevent service interruptions or data breaches that could adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to our Financial Condition and Results

We may need additional capital to complete development of our product candidates or achieve our business objectives and make contingent payments that may become due under our strategic transaction arrangements, which could cause significant dilution to our stockholders.

We may require additional funds or need to establish additional alternative strategic arrangements to execute a business development transaction. For example, we intend to pursue opportunities for certain of our products and product candidates in markets outside of the U.S. We have expended and continue to expend substantial costs associated with the clinical development of our product candidates, including AMAG-423 and ciraparantag, the continued commercialization of our products, our debt obligations and certain milestone payments to our partners. We may at any time seek funding through additional arrangements with collaborators or through public or private equity or debt financings, which could result in dilution to our stockholders or increased fixed payment obligations. In addition, we may need to seek additional capital to fund our operations or for strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. The conditions of the credit and capital markets can be volatile, unpredictable and inconsistent and we may not be able to obtain financing or to secure alternative strategic arrangements on acceptable terms or within an acceptable timeframe, if at all, which would limit our ability to execute on our strategic plans. Moreover, we may experience a reduction in value or loss of liquidity with respect to our investments, which would put further strain on our cash resources.

Our current level of cash on hand may require us to implement additional cost-cutting initiatives or limit our ability to execute on our strategic plans, including the development of our pipeline, and we may not be able to take advantage of attractive business development opportunities. In addition, our cash on hand may not be sufficient to make any cash milestone payments to our partners upon the achievement of sales or regulatory milestones, including in the event we are unable to consummate a sale of Intrarosa or Vyleesi, in a timely manner, on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to make these required payments could be adversely affected if we do not achieve expected revenue and cash flow forecasts, or if we are unable to find other sources of cash in the future. We may also suffer reputational harm and be viewed as an undesirable acquiror or business development partner if we are unable to make the required payments under our strategic transaction arrangements. In addition, if equity or debt investors perceive that our debt levels are too high relative to our profit, our stock price could be negatively affected and/or our ability to raise new equity or debt capital could be limited.

We have in the past, and may in the future, enter into term loans and credit facilities with various banking institutions. Our ability and the terms on which we can borrow will be subject to the state of our operations and the debt market, which is unpredictable and beyond the scope of our control. We may not be able to borrow required amounts on favorable terms, including favorable interest rates, or at all. Further, borrowings under such facilities may bear interest at variable rates exposing us to interest rate risk.

Our long-term capital requirements will depend on many other factors, including, but not limited to:

Whether we are successful in selling Intrarosa and Vyleesi and the amount of consideration paid to us in connection with any related sale transaction, if any;

The commercial success of our products, particularly Feraheme, on whose sales we are increasingly reliant, and costs associated with the commercialization of our products, including marketing, sales and distribution costs, including any impact to Makena sales as a result of the October 2019 Advisory Committee meeting or in anticipation of or following a decision by the FDA as to whether Makena remains on the market;

The ultimate determination by the FDA with regard to Makena following the October 2019 Advisory Committee meeting;

The competitive landscape for Feraheme, including the timing of the entry of a generic version of Feraheme entering the market;

53





Our ability to service our debt, or to raise additional capital on terms and within a timeframe acceptable to us, if necessary;

The outcome, timing and costs associated with development and regulatory approval of our product candidates, including conducting clinical trials;

Our obligations to make milestone payments, royalty payments or both under our strategic arrangements;

Our ability to successfully streamline our operations when we divest our women’s health business, and realize the other anticipated benefits in connection with such divestiture;

The outcome of and costs associated with any litigation or patent challenges to which we are or may become a party;

The costs of manufacturing our products and product candidates, including the timing and magnitude of costs associated with qualifying additional manufacturing capacities and alternative suppliers and any minimum penalties under our CMO agreements.

Additional funds may not be available to us if and when we need them, on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds, if needed, we may have to delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of our products or product candidates and/or other areas of our business.

Our ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax assets is dependent on generating future taxable income and may be limited, including as a result of future transactions involving our common stock.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses and certain other tax assets to offset future taxable income. In general, an ownership change occurs if the aggregate stock ownership of certain stockholders increases by more than 50 percentage points over such stockholders’ lowest percentage ownership during the testing period, which is generally three years. An ownership change could limit our ability to utilize our net operating loss, interest expense, and tax credit carryforwards for taxable years including or following such “ownership change” by allowing us to utilize only a portion of these carryforwards that would otherwise be available but for such ownership change. In addition, under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”), the amount of post 2017 net operating losses that we are permitted to deduct in any taxable year is limited to 80% of our taxable income in such year, where taxable income is determined without regard to the net operating loss deduction itself. The 2017 Tax Act also generally eliminates the ability to carry back any net operating loss to prior taxable years, while allowing post 2017 interest expense carryforwards and unused net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely without expiration. Limitations imposed on the ability to use net operating losses and tax credits to offset future taxable income or the failure to generate sufficient taxable income could require us to pay more U.S. federal income taxes than we have estimated and could cause such net operating losses and tax credits to expire unused, in each case reducing or eliminating the benefit of such net operating losses and tax credits and potentially adversely affecting our financial position, including our after-tax net income. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.

There can be no assurance that we will not undergo an ownership change and even minor accumulations by certain of our stockholders could result in triggering an ownership change under Section 382. If such an ownership change were to occur, we expect that our net operating losses and interest expense and tax credit carryforwards could become limited; however, the amount of the limitation would depend on a number of factors including our market value at the time of the ownership change. As of December 31, 2019, we have established a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets other than refundable alternative minimum tax credits.

In addition, we are potentially subject to ongoing and periodic tax examinations and audits in various jurisdictions, including with respect to the amount of our net operating losses and any limitation thereon. An adjustment to such net operating loss carryforwards, including an adjustment from a taxing authority, could result in higher tax costs, penalties and interest, thereby adversely impacting our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

If we identify a material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to meet our reporting obligations and the trading price of our stock could be negatively affected.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented

54




or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, a material weakness increases the risk that the financial information we report contains material errors.

We regularly review and update our internal controls, disclosure controls and procedures, and corporate governance policies. In addition, we are required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 to report annually on our internal control over financial reporting. Any system of internal controls, however well designed and operated, is based in part on certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the system are met. If we, or our independent registered public accounting firm, determine that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective, or we discover areas that need improvement in the future, or we experience high turnover of our personnel in our financial reporting functions, these shortcomings could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results, and the price of our common stock could be negatively affected.

If we cannot conclude that we have effective internal control over our financial reporting, or if our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified opinion regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could lead to a decline in our stock price. Failure to comply with reporting requirements could subject us to sanctions and/or investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, NASDAQ or other regulatory authorities.

If the estimates we make, or the assumptions on which we rely, in preparing our consolidated financial statements and/or our projected guidance prove inaccurate, our actual results may vary from those reflected in our projections and accruals.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis, our management evaluates our critical and other significant estimates and assumptions, including among others those associated with revenue recognition related to product sales; product sales allowances and accruals; allowance for doubtful accounts, marketable securities; inventory; acquisition date fair value and subsequent fair value estimates used to assess impairment of goodwill and long-lived assets, including intangible assets, debt obligations; certain accrued liabilities, including clinical trial accruals; income taxes, inclusive of valuation allowances, and equity-based compensation expense. We base our estimates on market data, our observance of trends in our industry, and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If actual results differ from these estimates, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial results and the performance of our stock.

Further, in January 2020, we issued financial guidance, including expected 2020 total revenue and profitability metrics, which is likewise based on estimates and the judgment of management. If, for any reason, we are unable to achieve our projected 2020 revenue or profitability, we may not realize our publicly announced financial guidance. If we fail to realize, or if we change or update any element of, our publicly disclosed financial guidance or other expectations about our business, our stock price could decline in value.

As part of our revenue recognition policy, our estimates of product returns, rebates and chargebacks, accounts receivable, fees and other discounts require subjective and complex judgments due to the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Any significant differences between our actual results and our estimates could materially adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

In addition, to determine the required quantities of our products and their related manufacturing schedules, we also need to make significant judgments and estimates based on inventory levels, current market trends, anticipated sales, forecasts and other factors. Because of the inherent nature of estimates, there could be significant differences between our estimates and the actual amount of product need. For example, the level of our access to wholesaler and distributor inventory levels and sales data, which varies based on the wholesaler, distributor, clinic or hospital, affects our ability to accurately estimate certain reserves included in our financial statements. Any difference between our estimates and the actual amount of product demand could result in unmet demand or excess inventory, each of which would adversely impact our financial results and results of operations.

We have significant goodwill and impaired a significant portion of intangible assets during 2019. Consequently, any potential future impairment of goodwill and intangible assets may significantly impact our profitability.
Goodwill and finite-lived intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, goodwill and intangible assets comprised approximately 56% and 54%, respectively, of our total assets. Goodwill is subject to an impairment analysis, which involves judgment and assumptions, at least annually or whenever events or changes in

55




circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. In addition, finite-lived intangible assets are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. For example, we identified multiple indicators of impairment during 2019, which resulted in total intangible asset impairment charges of $228.7 million. These impairment charges related to our Makena, Intrarosa and Vyleesi products as a result of (i) the termination of a distribution and supply agreement with our former authorized generic partner, (ii) the unfavorable FDA Advisory Committee recommendation for Makena and the resulting potential that the FDA could withdraw approval of Makena and (iii) our intention to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi based on the strategic review that we conducted. The estimates, judgments and assumptions used in our impairment testing of goodwill and intangible assets, and the results of our testing, are discussed in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.” Our assessments were based on our estimates and assumptions, a number of which are based on external factors and the exercise of management judgment. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates. Events giving rise to impairment of goodwill or intangible assets are an inherent risk in the pharmaceutical industry and often cannot be predicted. Events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment of goodwill include, but are not limited to, an adverse change in current economic and market conditions, including a significant prolonged decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, unexpected adverse business conditions, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. As a result of the significance of goodwill, our results of operations and financial position in a future period could be negatively impacted should an impairment test be triggered that results in an impairment of goodwill.
Our operating results will likely fluctuate, including as a result of wholesaler, distributor and customer buying patterns, as such you should not rely on the results of any single quarter to predict how we will perform over time.

Our future operating results will likely vary from quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors described in these Risk Factors, many of which we cannot control, as well as the timing and magnitude, as applicable, of:

Any announcements or speculation regarding the status or result of our previously announced results of our strategic review, including our intention to pursue options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi and the timing and nature of any strategic arrangements related to the divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi;

Product revenues, including the level of decline in Makena sales, potential inventory write-downs or adverse impacts to reserves as a result of the outcome of the October 2019 Advisory Committee, any future FDA action or decisions related to Makena or generic competition;

Regulatory approval of our product candidates, including AMAG-423 and ciraparantag;

Costs associated with manufacturing batch failures or inventory write-offs due to out-of-specification release testing or ongoing stability testing that results in a batch no longer meeting specifications;

The loss of a key customer or group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”);

The timing of costs and liabilities incurred in connection with our clinical trials and other product development and commercialization efforts, business development activities or business development transactions into which we may enter;

Milestone payments we may be required to pay pursuant to contractual obligations;

Costs associated with the manufacture of our products, including costs of raw and other materials and costs associated with maintaining commercial and clinical inventory and qualifying additional manufacturing capacities and alternative suppliers and any minimum penalties under our CMO agreements;

Any changes to the mix of our business;

Changes in accounting estimates related to reserves on revenue, returns, contingent consideration, impairment of long-lived or intangible assets or goodwill or other accruals or changes in the timing and availability of government or customer discounts, rebates and incentives;

Volatility in the markets, including as a result of political instability, civil unrest, war or terrorism, or pandemics or other natural disasters, such as the recent outbreak of coronavirus;

56





The implementation of new or revised accounting or tax rules or policies; and

The recognition of deferred tax assets during periods in which we generate taxable income and our ability to preserve our net operating loss carryforwards and other tax assets.

Our results of operations, including, in particular, product revenues, may also vary from period to period due to the buying patterns of our wholesalers, distributors, pharmacies, clinics or hospitals, specialty pharmacies and physicians (“Customers”). Further, our contracts with GPOs often require certain performance from the members of the GPOs on an individual account level or group level such as growth over prior periods or certain market share attainment goals in order to qualify for discounts off the list price of our products, and a GPO may be able to influence the demand for our products from its members in a particular quarter through communications they make to their members. In the event the Customers with whom we do business determine to limit their purchases of our products, our product revenues could be adversely affected. Also, in the event the Customers purchase increased quantities of our products to take advantage of volume discounts or similar benefits, our quarterly results will fluctuate as re-orders become less frequent, and our overall net pricing may decrease as a result of such discounts and similar benefits. In addition, these contracts are often cancellable at any time by our customers, often without notice, and are non-exclusive agreements within the Feraheme iron deficiency anemia market. While these contracts are intended to support the use of our products, our competitors could offer better pricing, incentives, higher rebates or exclusive relationships.

Our contracting strategies can also have an impact on the timing of certain purchases causing product revenues to vary from quarter to quarter. For example, in advance of an anticipated or rumored price increase, including following the publication of our quarterly ASP, which affects the rate at which Feraheme is reimbursed, or a reduction in expected rebates or discounts for one of our products, customers may order our products in larger than normal quantities, which could cause sales to be lower in subsequent quarters than they would have been otherwise. Further, any changes in purchasing patterns or inventory levels, changes to our contracting strategies, increases in product returns, delays in purchasing products or delays in payment for products by one of our distributors or GPOs could also have a negative impact on our revenue and results of operations.

As a result of these and other factors, our quarterly operating results could fluctuate, and this fluctuation could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. Results from one quarter should not be used as an indication of future performance.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock price has been and may continue to be volatile, and your investment in our stock could decline in value or fluctuate significantly, including as a result of analysts’ activities.

The market price of our common stock has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and your investment in our stock could decline in value or fluctuate significantly. Our stock price has ranged between $6.81 and $15.09 in the fifty-two week period through March 2, 2020. The stock market has from time to time experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceuticals sectors, which have often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. Various factors and events, including the factors and events described in these Risk Factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. Our stock price could also be subject to, among other things, fluctuations as a result of general market conditions, proxy contests and attempts to disrupt our strategy by activist investors, sales of large blocks of our common stock, the impact of our stock repurchase program or the dilutive effect of our 2022 Convertible Notes, other equity or equity-linked financings, alternative strategic arrangements that we may pursue, such as our recently announced intention to pursue options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi, or regulatory decisions, such as a determination by the FDA, whether adverse or not, related to Makena. For example, during 2019, an activist stockholder sought to make changes to our Board, among other matters, which ultimately resulted in us entering into a settlement agreement with the stockholder, and for which we incurred considerable costs and a significant amount of management’s and the Board’s time was diverted from our business.

Our future operating results are subject to substantial uncertainty, and our stock price could decline significantly if we fail to meet or exceed analysts’ forecasts and expectations. If any of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, lower their price target or issue commentary or observations about us or our stock that are perceived by the market as negative, our stock price would likely decline rapidly. In addition, if these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could also cause our stock price to decline.


57




Certain provisions in our charter and by-laws, certain provisions of our 2022 Convertible Notes, certain contractual relationships and certain Delaware law provisions could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove the current members of our Board.

Certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our by-laws may discourage, delay or prevent a change of control or takeover attempt of our company by a third-party as well as substantially impede the ability of our stockholders to benefit from a change of control or effect a change in management and our Board. These provisions include:

The ability of our Board to increase or decrease the size of the Board without stockholder approval;

Advance notice requirements for the nomination of candidates for election to our Board and for proposals to be brought before our annual meeting of stockholders;

The authority of our Board to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval;

Non-cumulative voting for directors; and

Limitations on the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders.

As a Delaware corporation, we are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Section 203”), which prevents us from engaging in any business combination with any “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person that acquires 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the business combination is approved in the manner prescribed in Section 203. These provisions could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by, or beneficial to, our stockholders.

In addition to the above factors, an acquisition of our company could be viewed by a potential acquiror as costly in light of the employment agreements we have in place with our executive officers, as well as a company-wide change of control policy, which provide for severance benefits as well as the full acceleration of vesting of any outstanding options or restricted stock units in the event of a change of control and subsequent termination of employment. Further, our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan generally permits our Board to provide for the acceleration of vesting of options granted under that plan in the event of certain transactions that result in a change of control.

Furthermore, holders of the 2022 Convertible Notes have the right to require us to repurchase their notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof and the conversion rate for the 2022 Convertible Notes may be increased as described in the indenture, in each case, upon the occurrence of certain change of control transactions, which could have the effect of preventing a change of control, whether or not it is desired by, or beneficial to, our stockholders, or may result in the acquisition of us being on terms less favorable to our stockholders than it would otherwise be.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
None.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
In June 2013, we entered into a lease agreement with BP Bay Colony LLC (the “Landlord”) for the lease of certain real property located at 1100 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts for use as our principal executive offices. The initial term of the lease was five years and two months with one five-year extension term at our option. We have entered into several amendments to the original lease to add additional space and to extend the term of the original lease, including a December 2019 amendment to extend the lease to July 2028. In addition to base rent, we are required to pay a proportionate share of the Landlord’s operating costs.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is

58




obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For certain matters, the liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for any matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, we will provide disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, we will provide disclosure to that effect. See Note P, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of our legal proceedings.

ITEM 7.  
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Overview

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a pharmaceutical company focused on bringing innovative products to patients with unmet medical needs by leveraging our development and commercial expertise to invest in and grow our pharmaceutical products and product candidates across a range of therapeutic areas. Our currently marketed products support the health of patients in the areas of hematology and maternal and women’s health, including Feraheme® (ferumoxytol injection) for intravenous (“IV”) use, Makena® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection) auto-injector, Intrarosa® (prasterone) vaginal inserts and Vyleesi®(bremelanotide injection). In addition to our approved products, our portfolio includes two product candidates, AMAG-423 (digoxin immune fab (ovine)), which is being studied for the treatment of severe preeclampsia, and ciraparantag, which is being studied as an anticoagulant reversal agent.

In January 2020, we announced that we had recently completed a review of our product portfolio and strategy with the objective of driving near- and long-term profitability and enhancing shareholder value. Based on this strategic review, we are currently pursuing options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi. In addition, we announced that William Heiden will be stepping down as our President and Chief Executive Officer. We expect that Mr. Heiden will remain at the company until the Board of Directors (the “Board”) appoints a new Chief Executive Officer.

We intend to continue to expand the impact of our current and future products for patients by delivering on our growth strategy, which includes collaborating on and acquiring promising therapies at various stages of development, and advancing them through the clinical and regulatory process to deliver new treatment options to patients. Our primary sources of revenue in 2019 were from sales of Feraheme, Makena and Intrarosa. Except as otherwise stated below, the following discussions of our results of operations reflect the results of our continuing operations, excluding the results related to the Cord Blood Registry (the “CBR business”), which we sold in August 2018. The CBR business has been separated from continuing operations and reflected as a discontinued operation. See Note C, “Discontinued Operations,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

AMAG’s Portfolio of Products and Product Candidates

Feraheme

Feraheme received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) in June 2009 for use as an IV iron replacement therapy for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (“IDA”) in adult patients with chronic kidney disease (“CKD”). In February 2018, the FDA approved the supplemental New Drug Application to expand the Feraheme label to include all eligible adult IDA patients who have intolerance to oral iron or have had unsatisfactory response to oral iron in addition to patients who have CKD. IDA is prevalent in many different patient populations, such as patients with CKD, gastrointestinal diseases or disorders, inflammatory diseases, and chemotherapy-induced anemia. For many of these patients, treatment with oral iron is unsatisfactory or is not tolerated. It is estimated that approximately five million people in the U.S. have IDA and we estimate that a small fraction of the patients who are diagnosed with IDA regardless of the underlying cause are currently being treated with IV iron.

The expanded Feraheme label was supported by two positive pivotal Phase 3 trials, which evaluated Feraheme versus iron sucrose or placebo in a broad population of patients with IDA and positive results from a third Phase 3 randomized, double-blind non-inferiority trial that evaluated the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) and moderate-to-severe hypotension with Feraheme compared to Injectafer® (ferric carboxymaltose injection) (the “Feraheme comparator trial”). The Feraheme comparator trial demonstrated comparability to Injectafer® based on the primary composite endpoint of the incidence of moderate-to-severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis) and moderate-to-severe hypotension (Feraheme incidence 0.6%; Injectafer® incidence 0.7%). Adverse event rates were similar across both treatment groups; however, the incidence of severe hypophosphatemia (defined by blood phosphorous of <0.2 mg/dl at week 2) was less in the patients receiving Feraheme (0.4% of patients) compared to those receiving Injectafer® (38.7% of patients).

Makena

We acquired the rights to Makena in connection with our acquisition of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara Health”) in November 2014. Makena is indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women pregnant with a single baby who have a history of singleton spontaneous preterm birth.


65




Makena was approved by the FDA in February 2011 as an intramuscular (“IM”) injection (the “Makena IM product”) packaged in a multi-dose vial and in February 2016 as a single-dose preservative-free vial. In February 2018, the Makena auto-injector was approved by the FDA for administration via a pre-filled subcutaneous auto-injector, a drug-device combination product (the “Makena auto-injector”). In mid-2018, we launched our own authorized generic of both the single- and multi-dose vials (the “Makena authorized generic”) through Prasco, LLC (“Prasco”). As previously disclosed, based on manufacturing challenges and increased generic competition we no longer offer a branded IM product of Makena and in August 2019 we and Prasco determined it was not commercially viable to continue the relationship and mutually terminated our distribution and supply agreement, such that we no longer offer the Makena authorized generic. Further, as a result of the loss of substantial market share for the Makena IM product, in the second quarter of 2019 we revised our long-term Makena IM products forecast resulting in the recording of significant impairment charges related to the Makena IM products, as discussed in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

In March 2019, we announced topline results from the Progestin’s Role in Optimizing Neonatal Gestation clinical trial (“PROLONG” or “Trial 003”), a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating Makena in patients with a history of a prior spontaneous singleton preterm delivery. The PROLONG trial was conducted under the FDA’s “Subpart H” accelerated approval process. The approval of Makena was based primarily on the Meis trial (“Trial 002”), which was conducted by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. In contrast to the Meis trial, the PROLONG trial did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo arms for the co-primary endpoints: the incidence of preterm delivery at less than 35 weeks (Makena treated group 11.0% vs. placebo 11.5%) and the percentage of patients who met criteria for the pre-specified neonatal morbidity and mortality composite index (Makena treated group 5.6% vs. placebo 5.0%). The adverse event profile between the two arms was comparable. Adverse events of special interest, including miscarriage and stillbirth, were infrequent and similar between the treatment and placebo groups. The PROLONG trial enrolled 1,708 pregnant women, over 75% of whom were enrolled outside the U.S.

On October 29, 2019, the FDA’s Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee (the “Advisory Committee”) met to discuss the results of the PROLONG trial to inform the FDA’s regulatory decision for Makena. Following various presentations by experts and discussions at the meeting, the Advisory Committee voted as follows: (a) in response to the question “Do the findings from Trial 003 verify the clinical benefits of Makena on neonatal outcomes?”, 16 members voted “No” and no members voted “Yes”; (b) in response to the question “Based on the findings from Trial 002 and Trial 003, is there substantial evidence of effectiveness of Makena in reducing the risk of recurrent preterm birth?”, 13 members voted “No” and three members voted “Yes”; and (c) in response to the question, “Should the FDA (A) pursue withdrawal of approval for Makena, (B) leave Makena on the market under accelerated approval and require a new confirmatory trial, or (C) leave Makena on the market without requiring a new confirmatory trial?”, nine members voted for (A), seven members voted for (B) and no members voted for (C). The FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its Advisory Committees but will take them into consideration in deciding what regulatory steps to take with respect to Makena. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we reassessed the fair value of assets related to the Makena auto-injector following the Advisory Committee meeting and recorded significant impairment charges, as discussed in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

This complex and unique situation has no clear precedent and it is therefore difficult to predict outcomes or timing of any FDA actions with respect to Makena. We remain committed to working collaboratively with the FDA to seek a path forward to ensure eligible pregnant women continue to have access to Makena and the currently approved generics that rely on Makena as the innovator drug.

AMAG-423

In September 2018, we acquired the global rights to AMAG-423 for the treatment of preeclampsia and eclampsia in antepartum and postpartum women pursuant to an option agreement entered into in July 2015 (the “Velo Agreement”) with Velo Bio, LLC, a privately-held life sciences company (“Velo”). AMAG-423 is an antibody fragment currently in development for the treatment of severe preeclampsia in pregnant women and has been granted both orphan drug and Fast Track designations by the FDA. AMAG-423 is intended to bind to endogenous digitalis-like factors (“EDLFs”) and remove them from the circulation. EDLFs appear to be elevated in preeclampsia and may play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia though their inhibitory actions on Na+/K+-ATPase (the sodium pump). By decreasing circulating EDLFs, AMAG-423 is believed to improve vascular endothelial function and lead to better post-delivery outcomes in affected mothers and their babies.

We are currently conducting a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group Phase 2b/3a study in which we expect to enroll approximately 200 antepartum women with severe preeclampsia between 23 weeks and 0

66




days and 31 weeks and six days gestation. The study is enrolling at sites both within the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Participants in the study receive either AMAG-423 or placebo intravenously four times a day over a maximum of four days. The study’s primary endpoint is to demonstrate a reduction in the percentage of babies who develop severe intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain), necrotizing enterocolitis (severe inflammation of the infant bowels) or death by 36 weeks corrected gestational age between the AMAG-423 and placebo arms. Secondary endpoints include the change from baseline in maternal creatinine clearance, maternal incidence of pulmonary edema during treatment and the period of time between treatment and delivery. In addition to these endpoints, information on both maternal as well as neonatal outcomes and complications related to preeclampsia and/or prematurity will be collected and analyzed. Severe preeclampsia presents challenges to enrollment as it is an extremely complex and dynamic condition; oftentimes, the patient needs be scheduled for immediate delivery. While we continue to work to obtain the necessary country approvals, opening new sites as well as implementing and optimizing strategies to enhance enrollment, the serious nature of the condition under study and the characteristics of the patient population make it difficult for us to predict the timing of enrollment completion.
 
Ciraparantag
 
In January 2019, we acquired ciraparantag with our acquisition of Perosphere Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Perosphere”), a privately-held biopharmaceutical company pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Perosphere Agreement”). Ciraparantag is a small molecule anticoagulant reversal agent in development as a single dose solution that is delivered intravenously to reverse the effects of certain novel oral anticoagulants (“NOACs”) (Xarelto®(rivaroxaban), Eliquis®(apixaban), and Savaysa®(edoxaban)) as well as Lovenox® (enoxaparin sodium injection), a low molecular weight heparin (“LMWH”) when reversal of the anticoagulant effect of these products is needed for emergency surgery, urgent procedures or due to life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding. Ciraparantag has been granted Fast Track designation by the FDA.

Ciraparantag has been evaluated in more than 250 healthy volunteers across seven clinical trials. A first in human Phase 1 study evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects of ciraparantag alone and following a single dose of Savaysa®, and another Phase 1 study evaluated the overall metabolism of the drug. Two Phase 2a studies evaluated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic effects related to the reversal of unfractionated heparin and Lovenox® and three Phase 2b randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled dose-ranging studies evaluated the reversal of Savaysa®, Eliquis®, and Xarelto® to assess the safety and efficacy of ciraparantag, each of which included 12 subjects dosed with ciraparantag. In these Phase 2b clinical trials, ciraparantag or placebo was administered to healthy volunteers in a blinded fashion after achieving steady blood concentrations of the respective anticoagulant. Pharmacodynamic assessments of whole blood clotting time (“WBCT”), an important laboratory measure of clotting capacity, were sampled frequently for the first hour post study drug dose, and then periodically thereafter out to 24 hours post administration of study drug. Key endpoints in the Phase 2 trials included mean change from baseline in WBCT and the proportion of subjects that returned to within 10% of their baseline WBCT. Subjects in these studies experienced a rapid and statistically significant (p<0.001) reduction in WBCT compared to placebo as early as 15 minutes after the administration of ciraparantag in each of the four studies and the effect was sustained for 24 hours. Moreover, in both the Eliquis® and Xarelto® studies, 100% of subjects in the highest dose cohorts (180 mg of ciraparantag) were responders, as defined by a return to within 10% of baseline WBCT within 30 minutes and sustained for at least six hours. Ciraparantag has been well tolerated in clinical trials, with the most common related adverse events to date being mild sensations of coolness, warmth or tingling, skin flushing, and alterations in taste. There have been no drug-related serious adverse events to date.

We are planning to conduct a clinical study in healthy volunteers to confirm the proposed dose of ciraparantag to be used in the Phase 3 program, after reaching peak steady state blood concentrations of certain NOAC drugs. This proposed study will utilize an automated coagulometer developed by Perosphere Technologies, Inc. (“Perosphere Technologies”), an independent company, to measure WBCT. An investigational device exemption, which Perosphere Technologies will submit once the design of the healthy volunteer study is finalized, is required for use of the coagulometer in clinical studies. Over the past several months, Perosphere Technologies has completed additional analytic studies and we have continued to work with the FDA on the design of this next clinical study. Following the completion of this study, we plan to schedule an End of Phase 2 meeting with the FDA to discuss the design of the Phase 3 program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ciraparantag in the target patient population. We currently expect enrollment in the healthy volunteer study to be completed by the end of 2020, assuming our proposed protocol is acceptable to the FDA and that additional dose exploration is not needed.

In December 2019, we entered into a termination and settlement agreement with Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. to terminate a clinical trial collaboration agreement we acquired in connection with the Perosphere transaction. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, we received $10.0 million in December 2019 as a termination payment from Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. In 2019, we also recognized $6.4 million of deferred revenue that we acquired from Perosphere related to the original agreement.

Products to be Divested

In January 2020, following a review of our product portfolio and strategy, we announced that we would be pursuing options to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi from our product portfolio.

Intrarosa

In February 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Endoceutics License Agreement”) with Endoceutics, Inc. (“Endoceutics”) pursuant to which Endoceutics granted us the U.S. rights to Intrarosa, an FDA-approved product for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (“VVA”), due to menopause. Intrarosa was approved by the FDA in November 2016 and was launched commercially in July 2017. Intrarosa is the only FDA-approved vaginal non-estrogen treatment indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe dyspareunia, a symptom of VVA, due to menopause. Intrarosa contains prasterone, a synthetic form of dehydroepiandrosterone, which is an inactive endogenous (i.e. occurring in the body) sex steroid. The mechanism of action of Intrarosa is not fully established. Intrarosa is contraindicated in women with undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding and its label contains a precaution that it has not been studied in women with a history of breast cancer.

Vyleesi

We acquired the exclusive rights to commercialize Vyleesi in certain territories in January 2017 pursuant to a license agreement (the “Palatin License Agreement”) entered into with Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”). On June 21, 2019, the FDA approved Vyleesi for the treatment of acquired, generalized HSDD in premenopausal women, and Vyleesi became commercially available in the U.S. in September 2019 through specialty pharmacies. Based on the June 2019 approval, we made a $60.0 million milestone payment to Palatin in July 2019, which we recorded as an intangible asset.

Vyleesi, a melanocortin receptor agonist, is an “as needed” therapy used in anticipation of sexual activity and self-administered by premenopausal women with HSDD in the thigh or abdomen via a single-use subcutaneous auto-injector. The most common adverse events are nausea, flushing, injection site reactions, headache and vomiting. Vyleesi is contraindicated in women with uncontrolled hypertension or known cardiovascular disease. In addition, the Vyleesi label includes precautions that it may cause (i) small, transient increases in blood pressure with a corresponding decrease in heart rate; (ii) focal hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin on certain parts of the body), including the face, gums (gingiva) and breasts; and (iii) nausea.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Management employs the following critical accounting policies affecting our most significant estimates and assumptions: revenue recognition and related sales allowances and accruals; valuation of marketable securities; valuation of inventory; business combinations and asset acquisitions, including acquisition-related contingent consideration; goodwill; intangible assets; equity-based compensation; and income taxes.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenues
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), by applying the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for prior periods. There was no impact to our product revenue as a result of adoption.


68




Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps:

a.Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
b.Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
c.Determine the transaction price;
d.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
e.Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

We only apply the five step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, if the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Our major sources of revenue during the reporting periods were product revenues from Makena, Feraheme and Intrarosa. The adoption of ASC 606 in 2018 did not have an impact on the pattern or timing of recognition of our product revenue, as the majority of our product revenue continues to be recognized when the customer takes control of our product.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, we assess the goods promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good (or bundle of goods) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the goods promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. We determined that the following distinct goods represent separate performance obligations:

Supply of Makena product
Supply of Feraheme product
Supply of Intrarosa product
Supply of Vyleesi product

We principally sell our products to wholesalers, specialty distributors, specialty pharmacies and other customers (collectively, “Customers”), who purchase products directly from us. Our Customers subsequently resell the products to healthcare providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, we enter into arrangements with healthcare providers and payers that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products.

For the majority of our Customers, we transfer control at the point in time when the goods are delivered. In instances when we perform shipping and handling activities, these are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Variable Consideration
Under ASC 606, we are required to make estimates of the net sales price, including estimates of variable consideration (such as rebates, chargebacks, discounts, copay assistance and other deductions), and recognize the estimated amount as revenue, when we transfer control of the product to our customers. Variable consideration must be determined using either an “expected value” or a “most likely amount” method.

We record product revenues net of certain allowances and accruals in our consolidated statements of operations. Product sales allowances and accruals are primarily comprised of both direct and indirect fees, discounts and rebates and provisions for estimated product returns. Direct fees, discounts and rebates are contractual fees and price adjustments payable to Customers that purchase products directly from us. Indirect fees, discounts and rebates are contractual price adjustments payable to healthcare providers and organizations, such as certain physicians, clinics, hospitals, group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”),

69




and dialysis organizations that typically do not purchase products directly from us but rather from wholesalers and specialty distributors. Consideration payable to a Customer, or other parties that purchase goods from a Customer, are considered to be a reduction of the transaction price, and therefore, of revenue.

Product sales allowances and accruals are based on definitive contractual agreements or legal requirements (such as laws and regulations to provide mandatory discounts for sales to government entities) related to the purchase and/or utilization of the product by these entities and are recorded in the same period that the related revenue is recognized. We use the expected value method for estimating variable consideration. We estimate product sales allowances and accruals using either historical, actual and/or other data, including estimated patient usage, applicable contractual rebate rates, contract performance by the benefit providers, other current contractual and statutory requirements, historical market data based upon experience of our products and other products similar to them, specific known market events and trends such as competitive pricing and new product introductions, current and forecasted Customer buying patterns and inventory levels, and the shelf life of our products. As part of this evaluation, we also review changes to federal and other legislation, changes to rebate contracts, changes in the level of discounts, and changes in product sales trends. Although allowances and accruals are recorded at the time of product sale, rebates are typically paid out in arrears, one to three months after the sale. 

The estimate of variable consideration, which is included in the transaction price, may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved in a future period. Estimating variable consideration and the related constraint requires the use of significant management judgment and actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known.

Discounts

We typically offer a 2% prompt payment discount to certain customers as an incentive to remit payment in accordance with the stated terms of the invoice, generally between 30 to 60 days. Because we anticipate that those customers who are offered this discount will take advantage of the discount, 100% of the prompt payment discount at the time of sale is accrued for eligible customers, based on the gross amount of each invoice. We adjust the accrual quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Chargebacks

Chargeback reserves represent the estimated obligations resulting from the difference between the prices at which we sell our products to wholesalers and the sales price ultimately paid to wholesalers under fixed price contracts by third-party payers, including governmental agencies. The chargeback estimates are determined based on actual product sales data and forecasted customer buying patterns. Actual chargeback amounts are determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider, and we generally issue credits for such amounts within several weeks of receiving notification from the wholesaler. Estimated chargeback amounts are recorded at the time of sale and adjusted quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Distributor/Wholesaler and Group Purchasing Organization Fees

Fees under arrangements with distributors and wholesalers are usually based upon units of product purchased during the prior month or quarter and are usually paid by us within several weeks of the receipt of an invoice from the wholesaler or distributor. Fees under arrangements with GPOs are usually based upon member purchases during the prior quarter and are generally billed by the GPO within 30 days after period end. In accordance with ASC 606, since the consideration given to the Customer is not for a distinct good or service, the consideration is a reduction of the transaction price of the vendor’s products or services. We have included these fees in contractual adjustments in the table above. We generally pay such amounts within several weeks of the receipt of an invoice from the distributor, wholesaler or GPO. Accordingly, we accrue the estimated fee due at the time of sale, based on the contracted price invoiced to the Customer. We adjust the accrual quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, we generally offer wholesalers, specialty distributors and other customers a limited right to return our products based on the product’s expiration date. The current shelf-lives or time between manufacture and expiration for products in our portfolio range from three to five years. Product returns are estimated based on the historical return patterns and known or expected changes in the marketplace. We track actual returns by individual production lots. Returns on lots eligible for credits under our returned goods policy are monitored and compared with historical return trends

70




and rates. We expect that wholesalers and healthcare providers will not stock significant inventory due to the cost of the product, the expense to store our products, and/or that our products are readily available for distribution. We record an estimate of returns at the time of sale. If necessary, our estimated rate of returns may be adjusted for actual return experience as it becomes available and for known or expected changes in the marketplace. There were no material adjustments to our reserve for product returns during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. To date, our product returns have been relatively limited; however, returns experience may change over time. We may be required to make future adjustments to our product returns estimate, which would result in a corresponding change to our net product sales in the period of adjustment and could be significant.

Sales Rebates

We contract with various private payer organizations, primarily pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of our products. We determine our estimates for rebates, if applicable, based on actual product sales data and our historical product claims experience. Rebate amounts generally are invoiced quarterly and are paid in arrears, and we expect to pay such amounts within several weeks of notification by the provider. We regularly assess our reserve balance and the rate at which we accrue for claims against product sales. If we determine in future periods that our actual rebate experience is not indicative of expected claims, if actual claims experience changes, or if other factors affect estimated claims rates, we may be required to adjust our current accumulated reserve estimate, which would affect net product sales in the period of the adjustment and could be significant.

Governmental Rebates

Governmental rebates relate to our reimbursement arrangements with state Medicaid programs. We determine our estimates for Medicaid rebates, if applicable, based on actual product sales data and our historical product claims experience. In estimating these reserves, we provide for a Medicaid rebate associated with both those expected instances where Medicaid will act as the primary insurer as well as in those instances where we expect Medicaid will act as the secondary insurer. Rebate amounts generally are invoiced quarterly and are paid in arrears, and we expect to pay such amounts within several weeks of notification by the Medicaid or provider entity. We regularly assess our Medicaid reserve balance and the rate at which we accrue for claims against product sales. If we determine in future periods that our actual rebate experience is not indicative of expected claims, if actual claims experience changes, or if other factors affect estimated claims rates, we may be required to adjust our current Medicaid accumulated reserve estimate, which would affect net product sales in the period of the adjustment and could be significant.

Other Discounts
Other discounts which we offer include voluntary patient assistance programs, such as copay assistance programs, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially insured patients with prescription drug copayments required by payers. The calculation of the accrual for copay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that we expect to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue.

Collaboration Revenues

When we enter into collaboration agreements, we assess whether the agreements fall within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) based on whether the arrangements involve joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of ASC 808, we assess whether the payments between us and our collaboration partner fall within the scope of other accounting literature. If we conclude that payments from the collaboration partner to us represent consideration from a customer, such as license fees and contract research and development activities, we account for those payments within the scope of ASC 606. However, if we conclude that our collaboration partner is not a customer for certain activities and associated payments, such as for certain collaborative research, development, manufacturing and commercial activities, we present such payments as a reduction of research and development expense or general and administrative expense, based on where we present the related underlying expense.

Marketable Securities

We account for and classify our marketable securities as either “available-for-sale,” “held-to-maturity,” or “trading debt securities,” in accordance with the accounting guidance related to the accounting and classification of certain investments in marketable securities. The determination of the appropriate classification by us is based primarily on management’s ability and

71




intent to sell the debt security at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, all of our marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are those securities which we view as available for use in current operations, if needed. We generally classify our available-for-sale securities as short-term investments, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date. Available-for-sale marketable securities are stated at fair value with their unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, until such gains and losses are realized in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of operations or until an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary.

We recognize other-than-temporary impairments of our marketable securities when there is a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis and if (a) we have the intent to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value at the impairment measurement date in our consolidated statements of operations. If neither of these conditions is met, we must perform additional analysis to evaluate whether the unrealized loss is associated with the creditworthiness of the issuer of the security rather than other factors, such as interest rates or market factors. If we determine from this analysis that we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists, the impairment is considered other-than-temporary and is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with approximate cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Prior to initial approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies, we expense costs relating to the production of inventory in the period incurred, unless we believe regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of the product candidate is probable and we expect the future economic benefit from sales of the product to be realized, at which point we capitalize the costs as inventory. We assess any costs capitalized prior to regulatory approval each quarter for indicators of impairment, such as a reduced likelihood of approval. We expense costs associated with clinical trial material as research and development expense.

On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels to determine whether we have any obsolete, expired, or excess inventory. If any inventory is expected to expire prior to being sold, has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, is in excess of expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts, or fails to meet commercial sale specifications, the inventory is written-down through a charge to cost of product sales. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management of future expected inventory requirements, based on sales forecasts. Once packaged, our products have a shelf-life ranging from three to five years. As a result of comparison to internal sales forecasts, we expect to fully realize the carrying value of our finished goods inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management or in the event of an adverse FDA action, inventory write-downs may be required. Charges for inventory write-downs are not reversed if it is later determined that the product is saleable.

Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The purchase price allocation for business combinations requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“2017-01”), we first determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the single asset or group of assets, as applicable, is not a business.

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the total purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The purchase price allocations for business combinations are initially prepared on a preliminary basis and are subject to change as additional information becomes available concerning the fair value and tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocations are made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.


72




Acquired inventory is recorded at its fair value, which may require a step-up adjustment to recognize the inventory at its expected net realizable value. The inventory step-up is recorded to cost of product sales in our consolidated statements of operations when related inventory is sold, and we record step-up costs associated with clinical trial material as research and development expense.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration arising from a business combination is included as part of the purchase price and is recognized at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, we measure contingent consideration arrangements at fair value for each period until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair values reflect new information about the likelihood of the payment of the contingent consideration and the passage of time. For asset acquisitions, we record contingent consideration for obligations we consider to be probable and estimable and these liabilities are not adjusted to fair value.

Goodwill
We test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, an adverse change in current economic and market conditions, including a significant prolonged decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, unexpected adverse business conditions, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Our annual impairment test date is October 31. We have determined that we operate in a single operating segment and have a single reporting unit.
In performing our goodwill impairment tests, we utilize the approach prescribed under ASC 350, as amended by ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which requires that an entity perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
When we perform any goodwill impairment test, the estimated fair value of our reporting unit is determined using either an income approach (utilizing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model) or a market approach, when appropriate, which assesses our market capitalization as adjusted for a control premium, or a combination thereof. Under the market approach, when our carrying value exceeds our market capitalization, we consider a control premium for purposes of estimating the fair value of our reporting unit, as we believe that a market participant buyer would be required to pay a control premium for our business. As described in the accounting guidance for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, an entity’s fair value may include a control premium in addition to the quoted market price to determine the fair value of a single reporting unit entity, as an acquiring entity is often willing to pay more for equity securities that give it a controlling interest than an investor would pay for a number of equity securities representing less than a controlling interest. This accounting guidance also indicates that the quoted market price of an individual security need not be the sole measurement basis of the fair value of a single reporting unit. When our market capitalization exceeds our carrying value, we utilize our market capitalization as the indicator of fair value in our impairment test.
When utilizing an income approach, the DCF model is based upon expected future after-tax operating cash flows of the reporting unit discounted to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Estimates of future cash flows require management to make significant assumptions concerning (i) future operating performance, including future sales, long-term growth rates, operating margins, variations in the amount and timing of cash flows and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows (ii) the probability of regulatory approvals, and (iii) future economic conditions, all of which may differ from actual future cash flows. These assumptions are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The discount rate, which is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in the DCF model, is based on estimates of the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) of market participants relative to our reporting unit. Financial and credit market volatility can directly impact certain inputs and assumptions used to develop the WACC. Any changes in these assumptions may affect our fair value estimate and the result of an impairment test. The discount rates and other inputs and assumptions are consistent with those that a market participant would use. In addition, in order to assess the reasonableness of the fair value of our reporting unit as calculated under the DCF model, we also compare the reporting unit’s fair value to our market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium. We evaluate the implied control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable market transactions, as applicable. For additional information, see Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to our

73




consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Intangible Assets

We amortize our intangible assets that have finite lives based on either the straight-line method, or if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized.

If we acquire an asset or a group of assets that do not meet the definition of a business, the acquired IPR&D is expensed on its acquisition date. Future costs to develop these assets are recorded to research and development expense as they are incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. To evaluate recoverability, management compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or asset group, including proceeds from its eventual disposition over its estimated useful life against its carrying amount. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group, the asset or asset group is considered impaired. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value, which is typically calculated utilizing a DCF model following the same methodology as described in the preceding section.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation cost is generally measured at the estimated grant date fair value and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Because equity-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, we must make certain judgments about whether employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisers will complete the requisite service period, and reduce the compensation expense being recognized for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based upon historical experience and adjusted for unusual events such as corporate restructurings, which can result in higher than expected turnover and forfeitures. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.

We estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation involving stock options based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of several factors such as the expected option term, the expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term and the expected dividend yield over the expected option term and are subject to various assumptions. The fair value of awards calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and is recognized based on the proportionate amount of the requisite service period that has been rendered during each reporting period.

We estimate the fair value of our restricted stock units (“RSUs”) whose vesting is contingent upon market conditions, such as total shareholder return, using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The fair value of RSUs where vesting is contingent upon market conditions is amortized based upon the estimated derived service period. The fair value of RSUs granted to our employees and directors whose vesting is dependent on future service is determined based upon the quoted closing market price per share on the date of grant, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.

We believe our valuation methodologies are appropriate for estimating the fair value of the equity awards we grant to our employees and directors. Our equity award valuations are estimates and may not be reflective of actual future results or amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. These amounts are subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include, but are not limited to, changes in estimated forfeiture rates and the issuance of new equity-based awards.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A deferred tax asset is established for the expected future benefit of net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured

74




using enacted rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets is required if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding future events, such as the amount, timing and character of income, deductions and tax credits, are required in the determination of our provision for income taxes and whether valuation allowances are required against deferred tax assets. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the existence of taxable temporary differences, our past operating results, the existence of cumulative income in the most recent fiscal years, changes in the business in which we operate and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we are responsible for assumptions utilized including the amount of state and federal operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income. As of December 31, 2019, we have established a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets other than refundable alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits to the extent that our existing taxable temporary differences would not be available as a source of income to realize the benefits of those deferred tax assets.

We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and adjust the level of the liability to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts surrounding the uncertain positions. Any changes to these estimates, based on the actual results obtained and/or a change in assumptions, could impact our income tax provision in future periods. Interest and penalty charges, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as a provision for income tax in our consolidated statement of operations.

Impact of Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption. For further discussion on recent accounting pronouncements, please see Note V, “Recently Issued and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.

Our total revenues for 2019 decreased by $146.3 million as compared to 2018, due primarily to a $260.0 million decrease in Makena IM net sales driven by supply disruptions, generic competition, changes in estimates to prior period liabilities and our withdrawal from the IM market during 2019, partially offset by an increase in Makena auto-injector net sales. Also offsetting the decrease in Makena revenues was a $32.9 million increase in Feraheme net sales in 2019, as compared to 2018.
In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a termination and settlement agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Daiichi Sankyo, Inc. to terminate a clinical trial collaboration agreement we acquired in connection with the Perosphere transaction. Under the terms of the settlement agreement we received $10.0 million in December 2019. As more

fully described in Note D “Revenue Recognition” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the $10.0 million termination payment and $6.4 million of deferred revenue that we acquired from Perosphere were recognized as collaboration revenue in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

We expect that total net product sales for 2020 will decrease compared to 2019 due to an expected decline in Makena net product sales and our intention to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi during the first half of 2020. We expect these declines to be partially offset by increases in Feraheme net sales.

The increase in contractual adjustments as a percentage of gross product sales primarily related to an increase in rebates offered to commercial purchasers and payers.

We record product revenue net of certain allowances and accruals on our consolidated statements of operations. Our contractual adjustments include provisions for returns, pricing and prompt payment discounts, as well as wholesaler distribution fees, rebates to hospitals that qualify for 340B pricing, and volume-based and other commercial rebates and other discounts. Governmental rebates relate to our reimbursement arrangements with state Medicaid programs.

We may refine our estimated revenue reserves as we continue to obtain additional experience or as our customer mix changes. If we determine in future periods that our actual experience is not indicative of our expectations, if our actual experience changes, or if other factors affect our estimates, we may be required to adjust our allowances and accruals estimates, which would affect our net product sales in the period of the adjustment and could be significant.

Our cost of product sales are primarily comprised of manufacturing costs, costs of managing our contract manufacturers, costs for quality assurance and quality control associated with our product sales, royalty obligations and the amortization of product-related intangible assets. Direct cost of product sales as a percentage of net product sales increased from 12% during the year ended December 31, 2018 to 26% during the year ended December 31, 2019, driven by a shift in revenue mix from products with a lower cost of product sales, such as the Makena IM product, to products with a higher cost of product sales, such as the Makena auto-injector and inventory write downs recorded in conjunction with the impairments of the Makena base technology and Makena auto-injector asset groups. We expect direct cost of product sales as a percentage of net product sales to decline in 2020 based on our expectation that a higher proportion of our revenue will be from Feraheme.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by $133.6 million from December 31, 2018 to December 31, 2019, primarily due to a decrease in amortization of the Makena base technology intangible asset, which related to our Makena IM products and was fully impaired during the second quarter of 2019.
  
Research and Development Expenses
 
Research and development expenses include both external and internal expenses. External expenses primarily include costs of clinical trials and fees paid to contract research organizations (“CROs”), clinical supply and manufacturing expenses, regulatory filing fees, consulting and professional fees as well as other general costs related to the execution of research and development activities. Internal expenses primarily include compensation of employees engaged in research and development activities. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Where possible, we track our external costs by major project. To the extent that external costs are not attributable to a specific project or activity, they are included in other external costs. Prior to the initial regulatory approval of our products or development of new manufacturing processes, costs associated with manufacturing process development and the manufacture of drug product are recorded as research and development expenses, unless we believe regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of the product candidate is probable and we expect the future economic benefit from sales of the product to be realized, at which point we capitalize the costs as inventory.

Total research and development expenses incurred in 2019 increased by $20.0 million, or 45%, as compared to 2018 primarily related to our development program for AMAG-423 and increases in internal costs related headcount to support our development programs.
We have a number of ongoing research and development programs that we are conducting independently or in collaboration with third parties. We expect our research and development expenses to remain consistent in 2020 as compared to 2019 as we continue to invest in AMAG-423 and ciraparantag. We cannot determine with certainty the duration and completion costs of our current or future clinical trials of our products or product candidates as the duration, costs and timing of clinical trials depends on a variety of factors including the uncertainties of future clinical and preclinical studies, uncertainties in clinical trial enrollment rates and significant and changing government regulation.

Acquired In-Process Research and Development

During 2019, we recorded $74.9 million for acquired in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) related to the acquisition of ciraparantag from Perosphere.

During 2018, we recorded $32.5 million for acquired IPR&D related to a $20.0 million milestone obligation to Palatin associated with the FDA acceptance of the Vyleesi New Drug Application (“NDA”) and $12.5 million as an upfront option exercise fee in connection with our acquisition of AMAG-423.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Our selling, general and administrative expenses include costs related to our commercial personnel, including our specialty sales forces, medical education professionals, pharmacovigilance, safety monitoring and commercial support personnel, costs related to our administrative personnel, including our legal, finance, business development and executive personnel, external and facilities costs required to support the marketing and sale of our products, and other costs associated with our corporate activities.

Total selling, general and administrative expenses in 2018 included a $49.6 million decrease to the fair value of contingent consideration liability expense based on actual Makena net sales and our expectations for future performance. Excluding this decrease, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $9.2 million as compared to 2018. This increase was driven primarily by higher external costs to support the September 2019 launch of Vyleesi, partially offset by a decrease in costs as a result of our February 2019 restructuring to combine our women’s health and maternal health sales forces.

We expect that total selling, general and administrative expenses will decrease substantially in 2020 as compared to 2019 with the planned divestiture of Intrarosa and Vyleesi.

Impairment of Assets

As more fully described in Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we recorded $232.3 million of impairment charges during 2019 related to the asset groups containing the Makena base technology, the Makena auto-injector developed technology, the Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology.

There were no asset impairments during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Restructuring Expense

In February 2019, we completed a restructuring to combine our women’s health and maternal health sales forces into one integrated sales team. Approximately 110 employees were displaced through this workforce reduction. We recorded a one-time restructuring charge of $7.4 million primarily related to severance and related benefits in the first quarter of 2019 and expect these charges to be substantially paid in cash by the end of the first quarter of 2020. Estimated total savings from the restructuring in 2019 were approximately $15.2 million of selling, general and administrative expense, specifically related to compensation, payroll taxes and benefits. Estimated savings were partially offset by planned increases in selling, general and administrative expenses related to professional, consulting and other outside services associated with the launch of Vyleesi and continued investment in the growth of our commercial products. For additional information on restructuring expenses, see Note S, “Restructuring Expenses” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Other expense, net for 2019 decreased by $61.6 million compared to 2018, primarily due to (i) a $35.9 million loss on extinguishment of debt (including a $28.1 million redemption premium), incurred during 2018 as a result of the early redemption of the 2023 Senior Notes, and (ii) a $26.3 million reduction in interest expense in 2019 as a result of this redemption and the repayment of the 2019 Convertible Notes in February 2019.

We expect our other expense, net to remain consistent in 2020 as compared to 2019.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense

For 2019, we recognized an immaterial income tax benefit, representing an effective tax rate of 0%. The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21% and the 0% effective tax rate for 2019 was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance established against our current period losses generated and the non-deductible IPR&D expense related to the Perosphere acquisition. We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits to the extent that our existing taxable temporary differences would not be available as a source of income to realize the benefits of those deferred tax assets. The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily related to the offset of the recognition of the income tax expense recorded in other comprehensive loss associated with the increase in the

79




value of available-for-sale securities that we carried at fair market value during the period, partially offset by state income taxes.

For 2018, we recognized income tax expense of $39.7 million, representing an effective tax rate of (31)%. The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21% and the (31)% effective tax rate for 2018 was primarily attributable to the establishment of a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits, the impact of non-deductible stock compensation and other non-deductible expenses, partially offset by a benefit from contingent consideration associated with Lumara Health, state income taxes and orphan drug tax credits. Our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, other than refundable AMT credits, increased during the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily because the deferred tax liabilities associated with the CBR business, which was reclassified to discontinued operations and sold during 2018, are no longer available as a source of income to realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets.

Net Income from Discontinued Operations

Net income from discontinued operations was $103.6 million in 2018. Of the $103.6 million net income from discontinued operations, $87.1 million represented a gain on the sale of the CBR business, which closed on August 6, 2018. For additional information, see Note C, “Discontinued Operations,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities represent the cash receipts and disbursements related to all of our activities other than investing and financing activities. We have historically financed our operating and capital expenditures primarily through cash flows earned through our operations. We expect cash provided by operating activities in addition to our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will continue to be a primary source of funds to finance operating needs and capital expenditures.
Operating cash flow is derived by adjusting our net income (loss) for:
Non-cash operating items, such as depreciation and amortization, impairment of long-lived assets and equity-based compensation; and

Changes in operating assets and liabilities, which reflect timing differences between the receipt and payment of cash associated with transactions and when they are recognized in results of operations.

For 2019 compared to 2018, net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $186.5 million, driven primarily by a decrease in net income as adjusted for non-cash charges of $206.2 million and a $19.7 million increase due to changes in operating assets and liabilities. Included within net loss for 2019 was $74.9 million of acquired IPR&D expense related to the Perosphere asset acquisition, of which $60.8 million was paid in cash during the first quarter of 2019. The cash flows from operating activities for 2018 include cash flows from the operating activities of the CBR business, which are included in discontinued operations. Subsequent to the closing of the CBR transaction on August 6, 2018, we no longer generated cash flows from that business. See Note C, “Discontinued Operations,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further detail regarding our discontinued operations.

For 2018 compared to 2017, net cash flows provided by operations decreased by $45.8 million, driven primarily by a decrease in net income as adjusted for non-cash charges of $29.7 million and a $16.1 million decrease due to changes in operating assets and liabilities.

Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities was $21.0 million in 2019 due primarily to net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $83.5 million, partially offset by a $60.0 million milestone payment triggered by the FDA approval of Vyleesi and capital expenditures of $2.5 million.

Cash flows provided by investing activities in 2018 was $502.2 million due to $519.3 million in proceeds from the sale of CBR, partially offset by net purchases of marketable securities of $4.6 million and capital expenditures of $2.5 million.

Cash flows provided by investing activities in 2017 was $102.9 million due to net proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $167.7 million, partially offset by $55.8 million of cash used to purchase the Intrarosa asset and capital expenditures of $9.0 million.


81




Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities was $35.5 million in 2019 due to the $21.4 million repayment of our 2019 Convertible Notes, $13.7 million for the repurchase of common stock and $1.8 million for payments of employee tax withholdings related to equity-based compensation offset by $1.5 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Cash used in financing activities was $502.0 million in 2018 due to the repayment of the $475.0 million balance of our 2023 Senior Notes and a related redemption premium of $28.1 million.

Cash used in financing activities in 2017 was $293.6 million driven by $353.1 million of principal payments made during 2017, including the full repayment of the remaining balance of a 2015 term loan facility, $191.7 million used for the repurchase of a portion of our 2019 Convertible Notes, $39.8 million of contingent consideration payments and the repurchase of common stock of $19.5 million, partially offset by $320.0 million net proceeds related to the issuance of our 2022 Convertible Notes.

Future Liquidity Considerations
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2019, and the cash we expect to receive from sales of our products, will be sufficient to fund our current operating plans and capital expenditure requirements for at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements.

We generated negative cash flows from operations during the year ended December 31, 2019 and while we expect to generate positive cash flows from continuing operations during 2020, these cash flows and our cash on hand as of December 31, 2019 in the aggregate will be insufficient to settle our 2022 Convertible Notes. We therefore expect that we will need to issue new securities, in the form of debt, equity or equity-linked, or some combination thereof. We may also utilize proceeds from a potential strategic collaboration or other transaction to manage our existing obligations.

For a detailed discussion regarding the risks and uncertainties related to our liquidity and capital resources, please refer to our Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Borrowings and Other Liabilities
In the second quarter of 2017, we issued $320.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Convertible Notes”). We received net proceeds of $310.4 million from the sale of the 2022 Convertible Notes, after deducting fees and expenses of $9.6 million. The 2022 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2017. The 2022 Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Upon conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes, such 2022 Convertible Notes will be convertible into, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at a conversion rate of 36.5464 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.36 per share of our common stock. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time. The 2022 Convertible Notes were not convertible by the note holders as of December 31, 2019.

Share Repurchase Program
 
As of January 1, 2019, we had $20.5 million available under our previously approved share repurchase program to repurchase up to $60.0 million in shares of our common stock. In March 2019, our Board authorized additional repurchases of shares in an amount up to $20.0 million under this program. During the first quarter of 2019, we repurchased and retired 1,074,800 shares of common stock for $13.7 million. As of December 31, 2019, $26.8 million remained available for future repurchases under this program.

Refer to Note P, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information on our lease obligations.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations primarily represent minimum purchase commitments for inventory. As of December 31, 2019, our minimum purchase commitments totaled $105.9 million.

Contingent Regulatory and Commercial Milestone Payments

We are required to make payments contingent on the achievement of certain regulatory and/or commercial milestones under the terms of our collaboration, license and other strategic agreements. Please refer to Note Q, “Collaboration, License and Other Strategic Agreements” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information regarding these contingent payments.
Employment Arrangements

We have entered into employment agreements or other arrangements with most of our executive officers and certain other employees, which provide for the continuation of salary and certain benefits and, in certain instances, the acceleration of the vesting of certain equity awards to such individuals in the event that the individual is terminated other than for cause, as defined in the applicable employment agreements or arrangements.

Indemnification Obligations

In the course of operating our business, we have entered into a number of indemnification arrangements under which we may be required to make payments to or on behalf of certain third parties including our directors, officers, and certain employees as well as certain other third parties with whom we enter into agreements. For further discussion of how this may affect our business, see Note P, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Legal Proceedings

For detailed information on our legal proceedings, see Note P, “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K, Item 303(a)(4)(ii).

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK:
Interest Rate Risk
As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our investments totaled $58.7 million and $140.9 million, respectively, and were invested in corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury and government agency securities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit. Our investments meet high credit quality and diversification standards, as specified in our investment policy. Our investment policy also limits the amount of our credit exposure to any one issue or issuer, excluding U.S. government entities, and seeks to manage these assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal, maintaining adequate liquidity at all times, and maximizing returns. These investments are subject to interest rate risk. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from an immediate hypothetical shift in market interest rates and assumes that ending fair values include principal plus accrued interest. If market interest rates for comparable investments were to increase or decrease immediately and uniformly by 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from levels as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, this would have resulted in a hypothetical change in fair value of our investments of approximately $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rate movements on our available-for-sale investment portfolios. This analysis does not consider the effect of credit risk as a result of the changes in overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.
Equity Price Risk
Our 2022 Convertible Notes include conversion and settlement provisions that are based on the price of our common stock at conversion or at maturity of the 2022 Convertible Notes. The amount of cash we may be required to pay is determined by the price of our common stock. The fair value of our 2022 Convertible Notes is dependent on the price and volatility of our common stock and will generally increase or decrease as the market price of our common stock changes.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 based on the framework in Internal Control -Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 2013. Based on this assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2019.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Change in Accounting Principles

As discussed in Note W to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed the manner in which it accounts for leases in 2019 and the manner in which it accounts for share-based compensation in 2017.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and

87




expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A.     DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in 1981. We are a pharmaceutical company focused on bringing innovative products to patients with unmet medical needs by leveraging our development and commercial expertise to invest in and grow our pharmaceutical products across a range of therapeutic areas. Our currently marketed products support the health of patients in the areas of hematology and maternal and women’s health, including Feraheme® (ferumoxytol injection) for intravenous use, Makena® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection) auto-injector, Intrarosa® (prasterone) vaginal inserts and Vyleesi®(bremelanotide injection). In addition to our marketed products, our portfolio includes two product candidates, AMAG-423 (digoxin immune fab (ovine)), which is being studied for the treatment of severe preeclampsia, and ciraparantag, which is being studied as an anticoagulant reversal agent.

In March 2019, we announced topline results from the Progestin’s Role in Optimizing Neonatal Gestation clinical trial (“PROLONG” or “Trial 003”), a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial evaluating Makena in patients with a history of a prior spontaneous singleton preterm delivery. The PROLONG trial was conducted under the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (the “FDA”) “Subpart H” accelerated approval process. The approval of Makena was based primarily on the Meis trial (“Trial 002”), which was conducted by the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units Network, sponsored by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. In contrast to the Meis trial, the PROLONG trial did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference between the treatment and placebo arms for the co-primary endpoints. On October 29, 2019, the Advisory Committee met to discuss the results of the PROLONG trial to inform the FDA’s regulatory decision for Makena. Following various presentations by experts and discussions at the meeting, the FDA’s Bone, Reproductive and Urologic Drugs Advisory Committee (the “Advisory Committee”) voted as follows: (a) in response to the question “Do the findings from Trial 003 verify the clinical benefits of Makena on neonatal outcomes?”, 16 members voted “No” and no members voted “Yes”; (b) in response to the question “Based on the findings from Trial 002 and Trial 003, is there substantial evidence of effectiveness of Makena in reducing the risk of recurrent preterm birth?”, 13 members voted “No” and three members voted “Yes”; and (c) in response to the question, “Should the FDA (A) pursue withdrawal of approval for Makena, (B) leave Makena on the market under accelerated approval and require a new confirmatory trial, or (C) leave Makena on the market without requiring a new confirmatory trial?”, nine members voted for (A), seven members voted for (B) and no members voted for (C). The FDA is not required to follow the recommendations of its Advisory Committees, but will take them into consideration in deciding what regulatory steps to take with respect to Makena. We are unable to predict the outcome or timing of any FDA action with respect to Makena.

In December 2019 we completed a review of our product portfolio and strategy. This strategic review resulted in our intention to divest Intrarosa® (prasterone) and Vyleesi® (bremelanotide), as announced in January 2020. We determined that these anticipated actions did not result in the related assets meeting the criteria to be recorded as held of sale at December 31, 2019.
We are subject to risks common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry including, but not limited to (as such risks pertain to our business) the impact of any action by the FDA with respect to Makena, including the potential of the removal of Makena’s approval, our ability to successfully divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi, our ability to successfully commercialize our products, intense competition, including from generic products; maintaining and defending the proprietary nature of our technology, including in the event that Sandoz launches a generic version of Feraheme in accordance with the 2018 settlement agreement; our dependence upon third-party manufacturers and our potential inability to obtain raw or other materials and impacts of supply shortages; our reliance on and the extent of reimbursement from third parties for the use of our products, including the impact of generic competitors, Makena’s high Medicaid reimbursement concentration; our ability to expand our product portfolio through business development transactions; the approval of our product candidates and our ability to commercialize such products, if approved; potential litigation, including securities and product liability suits; our ability to work effectively and collaboratively with our licensors and partners; our reliance on other third parties in our business, including to conduct our clinical trials and undertake our product and distribution; our ability to maintain, attract and retain key employees; our potential failure to comply with federal and state healthcare fraud and abuse laws, marketing disclosure laws, or other federal and state laws and regulations and potential civil or criminal penalties as a result thereof; uncertainties regarding reporting and payment obligations under government pricing programs; post-approval commitments for Feraheme; our ability to comply with data protection laws and regulations; the impact of disruptions to our information technology systems; our level of and ability to repay our indebtedness; our access to sufficient capital; the availability of net operating loss carryforwards and other tax assets; potential differences between actual future results and the estimates or assumptions used by us in preparation of our consolidated financial statements, including goodwill and intangible assets; the volatility of our stock price; the potential

fluctuation of our operating results; and provisions in our charter, by-laws and certain contracts that discourage an acquisition of our company.

Throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K, AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company,” “AMAG,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”

B.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

As of June 30, 2018, our CBR business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. All historical operating results for CBR are reflected within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. For additional information, see Note C, “Discontinued Operations.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent liabilities. The most significant estimates and assumptions are used to determine amounts and values of, but are not limited to: revenue recognition related to product sales revenue; product sales allowances and accruals; allowance for doubtful accounts; marketable securities; inventory; acquisition date fair value and subsequent fair value estimates used to assess impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets; debt obligations; certain accrued liabilities, including clinical trial accruals; equity-based compensation expense, and income taxes, inclusive of valuation allowances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Product revenues
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) applying the modified retrospective transition method to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018 as an adjustment of $1.1 million to the opening balance of stockholders’ equity at the beginning of 2018. The adjustment recorded was for incremental contract acquisition costs related to the CBR business. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for prior periods. There was no impact to our product revenue as a result of adoption.

Under ASC 606, we recognize revenue when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration which we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that we determine are within the scope of ASC 606, we perform the following five steps:

a.Identify the contract(s) with a customer;
b.Identify the performance obligations in the contract;
c.Determine the transaction price;
d.Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and
e.Recognize revenue when (or as) the performance obligations are satisfied.

We only apply the five step model to contracts when it is probable that we will collect the consideration we are entitled to in exchange for the goods or services we transfer to the customer. At contract inception, if the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, we assess the goods or services promised within each contract, determine those that are performance obligations, and assess whether each promised good or service is distinct. We then recognize as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.


96




Our major sources of revenue during the reporting periods were product revenues from Makena, Feraheme and Intrarosa. The adoption of ASC 606 in 2018 did not have an impact on the pattern or timing of recognition of our product revenue, as the majority of our product revenue continues to be recognized when the customer takes control of our product.

We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.

Performance Obligations

At contract inception, we assess the goods promised in our contracts with customers and identify a performance obligation for each promise to transfer to the customer a good (or bundle of goods) that is distinct. To identify the performance obligations, we consider all of the goods promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly stated or are implied by customary business practices. We determined that the following distinct goods represent separate performance obligations:

Supply of Makena product
Supply of Feraheme product
Supply of Intrarosa product
Supply of Vyleesi product

We principally sell our products to wholesalers, specialty distributors, specialty pharmacies and other customers (collectively, “Customers”), who purchase products directly from us. Our Customers subsequently resell the products to healthcare providers and patients. In addition to distribution agreements with Customers, we enter into arrangements with healthcare providers and payers that provide for government-mandated and/or privately-negotiated rebates, chargebacks and discounts with respect to the purchase of our products.

For the majority of our Customers, we transfer control at the point in time when the goods are delivered. In instances when we perform shipping and handling activities, these are considered fulfillment activities, and accordingly, the costs are accrued when the related revenue is recognized. Taxes collected from Customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues.

Variable Consideration
Under ASC 606, we are required to make estimates of the net sales price, including estimates of variable consideration (such as rebates, chargebacks, discounts, copay assistance and other deductions), and recognize the estimated amount as revenue, when we transfer control of the product to our customers. Variable consideration must be determined using either an “expected value” or a “most likely amount” method.

We record product revenues net of certain allowances and accruals in our consolidated statements of operations. Product sales allowances and accruals are primarily comprised of both direct and indirect fees, discounts and rebates and provisions for estimated product returns. Direct fees, discounts and rebates are contractual fees and price adjustments payable to Customers that purchase products directly from us. Indirect fees, discounts and rebates are contractual price adjustments payable to healthcare providers and organizations, such as certain physicians, clinics, hospitals, group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”), and dialysis organizations that typically do not purchase products directly from us but rather from wholesalers and specialty distributors. Consideration payable to a Customer, or other parties that purchase goods from a Customer, are considered to be a reduction of the transaction price, and therefore, of revenue.

Product sales allowances and accruals are based on definitive contractual agreements or legal requirements (such as laws and regulations to provide mandatory discounts for sales to government entities) related to the purchase and/or utilization of the product by these entities and are recorded in the same period that the related revenue is recognized. We use the expected value method for estimating variable consideration. We estimate product sales allowances and accruals using either historical, actual and/or other data, including estimated patient usage, applicable contractual rebate rates, contract performance by the benefit providers, other current contractual and statutory requirements, historical market data based upon experience of our products and other products similar to them, specific known market events and trends such as competitive pricing and new product introductions, current and forecasted Customer buying patterns and inventory levels, and the shelf life of our products. As part of this evaluation, we also review changes to federal and other legislation, changes to rebate contracts, changes in the level of discounts, and changes in product sales trends. Although allowances and accruals are recorded at the time of product sale, rebates are typically paid out in arrears, one to three months after the sale. 


97




The estimate of variable consideration, which is included in the transaction price, may be constrained and is included in the net sales price only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of the cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved in a future period. Estimating variable consideration and the related constraint requires the use of significant management judgment and actual amounts of consideration ultimately received may differ from our estimates. If actual results in the future vary from our estimates, we will adjust these estimates, which would affect net product revenue and earnings in the period such variances become known. No amounts were constrained as of December 31, 2019.

Discounts

We typically offer a 2% prompt payment discount to certain customers as an incentive to remit payment in accordance with the stated terms of the invoice, generally between 30 to 60 days. Because we anticipate that those customers who are offered this discount will take advantage of the discount, 100% of the prompt payment discount at the time of sale is accrued for eligible customers, based on the gross amount of each invoice. We adjust the accrual quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Chargebacks

Chargeback reserves represent the estimated obligations resulting from the difference between the prices at which we sell our products to wholesalers and the sales price ultimately paid to wholesalers under fixed price contracts by third-party payers, including governmental agencies. The chargeback estimates are determined based on actual product sales data and forecasted customer buying patterns. Actual chargeback amounts are determined at the time of resale to the qualified healthcare provider, and we generally issue credits for such amounts within several weeks of receiving notification from the wholesaler. Estimated chargeback amounts are recorded at the time of sale and adjusted quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Distributor/Wholesaler and Group Purchasing Organization Fees

Fees under arrangements with distributors and wholesalers are usually based upon units of product purchased during the prior month or quarter and are usually paid by us within several weeks of the receipt of an invoice from the wholesaler or distributor. Fees under arrangements with GPOs are usually based upon member purchases during the prior quarter and are generally billed by the GPO within 30 days after period end. In accordance with ASC 606, since the consideration given to the Customer is not for a distinct good or service, the consideration is a reduction of the transaction price of the vendor’s products or services. We have included these fees in contractual adjustments in the table above. We generally pay such amounts within several weeks of the receipt of an invoice from the distributor, wholesaler or GPO. Accordingly, we accrue the estimated fee due at the time of sale, based on the contracted price invoiced to the Customer. We adjust the accrual quarterly to reflect actual experience.

Product Returns

Consistent with industry practice, we generally offer wholesalers, specialty distributors and other customers a limited right to return our products based on the product’s expiration date. The current shelf-lives or time between manufacture and expiration for products in our portfolio range from three to five years. Product returns are estimated based on the historical return patterns and known or expected changes in the marketplace. We track actual returns by individual production lots. Returns on lots eligible for credits under our returned goods policy are monitored and compared with historical return trends and rates. We expect that wholesalers and healthcare providers will not stock significant inventory due to the cost of the product, the expense to store our products, and/or that our products are readily available for distribution. We record an estimate of returns at the time of sale. If necessary, our estimated rate of returns may be adjusted for actual return experience as it becomes available and for known or expected changes in the marketplace. There were no material adjustments to our reserve for product returns during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. To date, our product returns have been relatively limited; however, returns experience may change over time. We may be required to make future adjustments to our product returns estimate, which would result in a corresponding change to our net product sales in the period of adjustment and could be significant.

Sales Rebates

We contract with various private payer organizations, primarily pharmacy benefit managers, for the payment of rebates with respect to utilization of our products. We determine our estimates for rebates, if applicable, based on actual product sales data and our historical product claims experience. Rebate amounts generally are invoiced quarterly and are paid in arrears, and we expect to pay such amounts within several weeks of notification by the provider. We regularly assess our reserve balance and the rate at which we accrue for claims against product sales. If we determine in future periods that our actual rebate

98




experience is not indicative of expected claims, if actual claims experience changes, or if other factors affect estimated claims rates, we may be required to adjust our current accumulated reserve estimate, which would affect net product sales in the period of the adjustment and could be significant.

Governmental Rebates

Governmental rebates relate to our reimbursement arrangements with state Medicaid programs. We determine our estimates for Medicaid rebates, if applicable, based on actual product sales data and our historical product claims experience. In estimating these reserves, we provide for a Medicaid rebate associated with both those expected instances where Medicaid will act as the primary insurer as well as in those instances where we expect Medicaid will act as the secondary insurer. Rebate amounts generally are invoiced quarterly and are paid in arrears, and we expect to pay such amounts within several weeks of notification by the Medicaid or provider entity. We regularly assess our Medicaid reserve balance and the rate at which we accrue for claims against product sales. If we determine in future periods that our actual rebate experience is not indicative of expected claims, if actual claims experience changes, or if other factors affect estimated claims rates, we may be required to adjust our current Medicaid accumulated reserve estimate, which would affect net product sales in the period of the adjustment and could be significant.

Other Discounts
Other discounts which we offer include voluntary patient assistance programs, such as copay assistance programs, which are intended to provide financial assistance to qualified commercially insured patients with prescription drug copayments required by payers. The calculation of the accrual for copay assistance is based on an estimate of claims and the cost per claim that we expect to receive associated with product that has been recognized as revenue.

Collaboration Revenues

When we enter into collaboration agreements, we assess whether the agreements fall within the scope of ASC Topic 808, Collaborative Arrangements (“ASC 808”) based on whether the arrangements involve joint operating activities and whether both parties have active participation in the arrangement and are exposed to significant risks and rewards. To the extent that the arrangement falls within the scope of ASC 808, we assess whether the payments between us and our collaboration partner fall within the scope of other accounting literature. If we conclude that payments from the collaboration partner to us represent consideration from a customer, such as license fees and contract research and development activities, we account for those payments within the scope of ASC 606. However, if we conclude that our collaboration partner is not a customer for certain activities and associated payments, such as for certain collaborative research, development, manufacturing and commercial activities, we present such payments as a reduction of research and development expense or general and administrative expense, based on where we present the related underlying expense.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist principally of cash held in commercial bank accounts, money market funds and U.S. treasury securities having an original maturity of less than three months at the date of acquisition. We consider all highly liquid marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less as of the acquisition date to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, substantially all of our cash and cash equivalents were held in either commercial bank accounts or money market funds.

Concentrations and Significant Customer Information

Financial instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and accounts receivable. We currently hold our excess cash primarily in institutional money market funds, corporate debt securities, U.S. treasury and government agency securities and certificates of deposit. As of December 31, 2019, we did not have a material concentration in any single investment.

Our operations are located entirely within the U.S. We focus primarily on developing, manufacturing, and commercializing our products and product candidates. The following table sets forth customers who represented 10% or more of our total revenues for 2019, 2018 and 2017:

Our net accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due for products sold directly to wholesalers, distributors and specialty pharmacies. Accounts receivable for our products are recorded net of reserves for estimated chargeback obligations, prompt payment discounts and any allowance for doubtful accounts.
As part of our credit management policy, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and we generally do not require collateral. If the financial condition of any of our significant product sales customers was to deteriorate and result in an impairment of its ability to make payments owed to us, an allowance for doubtful accounts may be required which could have a material effect on earnings in the period of any such adjustment. We did not experience any significant bad debts and have not established an allowance for doubtful accounts as of December 31, 2019 and 2018.
At December 31, 2019 and 2018, three customers accounted for 10% or more of our accounts receivable balance, representing approximately 85% and 73% in the aggregate of our total accounts receivable, respectively.
 
We are currently dependent on a single supplier for certain of our manufacturing processes, including Feraheme drug substance (produced in two separate facilities) and a single supplier for our Makena auto-injector product. We have been and may continue to be exposed to a significant loss of revenue from the sale of our products in the event that our suppliers and/or manufacturers are not able to fulfill demand for any reason.
Fair Value Measurements

We apply the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) for our financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value each reporting period and our nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets. Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC 820 establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. Financial assets and liabilities are categorized within the valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1- Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are other observable inputs, including quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities and market-corroborated inputs.
Level 3 - Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based on management’s best estimate of inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.
Marketable Securities

We account for and classify our marketable securities as either “available-for-sale,” “held-to-maturity,” or “trading debt securities,” in accordance with the accounting guidance related to the accounting and classification of certain investments in marketable securities. The determination of the appropriate classification by us is based primarily on management’s ability and intent to sell the debt security at the time of purchase. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, all of our marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale.

Available-for-sale securities are those securities which we view as available for use in current operations, if needed. We generally classify our available-for-sale securities as short-term investments, even though the stated maturity date may be one year or more beyond the current balance sheet date. Available-for-sale marketable securities are stated at fair value with their

100




unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity, until such gains and losses are realized in other income (expense) within the consolidated statements of operations or until an unrealized loss is considered other-than-temporary.

We recognize other-than-temporary impairments of our marketable securities when there is a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis and if (a) we have the intent to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of these conditions is met, we recognize the difference between the amortized cost basis of the security and its fair value at the impairment measurement date in our consolidated statements of operations. If neither of these conditions is met, we must perform additional analysis to evaluate whether the unrealized loss is associated with the creditworthiness of the issuer of the security rather than other factors, such as interest rates or market factors. If we determine from this analysis that we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost of the security, a credit loss exists, the impairment is considered other-than-temporary and is recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with approximate cost being determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Prior to initial approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies, we expense costs relating to the production of inventory in the period incurred, unless we believe regulatory approval and subsequent commercialization of the product candidate is probable and we expect the future economic benefit from sales of the product to be realized, at which point we capitalize the costs as inventory. We assess any costs capitalized prior to regulatory approval each quarter for indicators of impairment, such as a reduced likelihood of approval. We expense costs associated with clinical trial material as research and development expense.

On a quarterly basis, we analyze our inventory levels to determine whether we have any obsolete, expired, or excess inventory. If any inventory is expected to expire prior to being sold, has a cost basis in excess of its net realizable value, is in excess of expected sales requirements as determined by internal sales forecasts, or fails to meet commercial sale specifications, the inventory is written-down through a charge to cost of product sales. The determination of whether inventory costs will be realizable requires estimates by management of future expected inventory requirements, based on sales forecasts. Once packaged, our products have a shelf-life ranging from three to five years. As a result of comparison to internal sales forecasts, we expect to fully realize the carrying value of our finished goods inventory. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, inventory write-downs may be required. Charges for inventory write-downs are not reversed if it is later determined that the product is saleable.

Property and Equipment, Net

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated when placed into service using the straight-line method based on their estimated useful lives as follows:
 
Useful Life
Computer equipment and software
5 Years
Furniture and fixtures
5 Years
Leasehold improvements
Lesser of Lease or Asset Life
Laboratory and production equipment
5 Years


Costs for capital assets not yet placed in service are capitalized on our balance sheets and will be depreciated in accordance with the above guidelines once placed into service. Costs for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Upon sale or other disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is charged to our consolidated statements of operations. Assets classified as held for sale are no longer subject to depreciation and are recorded at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

Intangible Assets

We amortize our intangible assets that have finite lives based on either the straight-line method, or if reliably determinable, based on the pattern in which the economic benefit of the asset is expected to be utilized.

If we acquire an asset or a group of assets that do not meet the definition of a business, the acquired IPR&D is expensed on its acquisition date. Future costs to develop these assets are recorded to research and development expense as they are incurred.

101





Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets, which includes property and equipment and identifiable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable. To evaluate recoverability, management compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the asset or asset group, including proceeds from its eventual disposition over its estimated useful life against its carrying amount. If the undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group, the asset or asset group is considered impaired. The impairment loss, if any, is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the asset or asset group over its estimated fair value, which is typically calculated utilizing a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model following the same methodology as described in the following section.

Goodwill
We test goodwill at the reporting unit level for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. Events that could indicate impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment include, but are not limited to, an adverse change in current economic and market conditions, including a significant prolonged decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, unexpected adverse business conditions, and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. Our annual impairment test date is October 31. We have determined that we operate in a single operating segment and have a single reporting unit.
In performing our goodwill impairment tests, we utilize the approach prescribed under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, as amended by Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (“ASU 2017-04”), which requires that an entity perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.
When we perform any goodwill impairment test, the estimated fair value of our reporting unit is determined using an income approach that utilizes a DCF model or a market approach, when appropriate, which assesses our market capitalization as adjusted for a control premium, or a combination thereof.
Under the market approach, when our carrying value exceeds our market capitalization, we consider a control premium for purposes of estimating the fair value of our reporting unit, as we believe that a market participant buyer would be required to pay a control premium for our business. The control premium utilized is based on control premiums observed in recent comparable market transactions. As described in the accounting guidance for evaluating long-lived assets for impairment, an entity’s fair value may include a control premium in addition to the quoted market price to determine the fair value of a single reporting unit entity, as an acquiring entity is often willing to pay more for equity securities that give it a controlling interest than an investor would pay for a number of equity securities representing less than a controlling interest. This accounting guidance also indicates that the quoted market price of an individual security need not be the sole measurement basis of the fair value of a single reporting unit. When our market capitalization exceeds our carrying value, we utilize our market capitalization as the indicator of fair value in our impairment test.
Under the income approach, the DCF model is based upon expected future after-tax operating cash flows of the reporting unit discounted to a present value using a risk-adjusted discount rate. Estimates of future cash flows require management to make significant assumptions concerning (i) future operating performance, including future sales, long-term growth rates, operating margins, variations in the amount and timing of cash flows and the probability of achieving the estimated cash flows (ii) the probability of regulatory approvals, and (iii) future economic conditions, all of which may differ from actual future cash flows. These assumptions are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The discount rate, which is intended to reflect the risks inherent in future cash flow projections, used in the DCF model, is based on estimates of the weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) of market participants relative to our reporting unit. Financial and credit market volatility can directly impact certain inputs and assumptions used to develop the WACC. Any changes in these assumptions may affect our fair value estimate and the result of an impairment test. The discount rates and other inputs and assumptions are consistent with those that a market participant would use. In addition, in order to assess the reasonableness of the fair value of our reporting unit as calculated under the DCF model, we also compare the reporting unit’s fair value to our market capitalization and calculate an implied control premium (the excess sum of the reporting unit’s fair value over its market capitalization). We evaluate the implied control premium by comparing it to control premiums of recent comparable market transactions, as applicable.

102





Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions

The purchase price allocation for business combinations requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Under ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“2017-01”), we first determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. If this threshold is met, the single asset or group of assets, as applicable, is not a business.

We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, under which the total purchase price of an acquisition is allocated to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The purchase price allocations for business combinations are initially prepared on a preliminary basis and are subject to change as additional information becomes available concerning the fair value and tax basis of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any adjustments to the purchase price allocations are made as soon as practicable but no later than one year from the acquisition date.

Acquired inventory is recorded at its fair value, which may require a step-up adjustment to recognize the inventory at its expected net realizable value. The inventory step-up is recorded to cost of product sales in our consolidated statements of operations when related inventory is sold, and we record step-up costs associated with clinical trial material as research and development expense.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

Contingent consideration arising from a business combination is included as part of the purchase price and is recognized at its estimated fair value as of the acquisition date. Subsequent to the acquisition date, we measure contingent consideration arrangements at fair value for each period until the contingency is resolved. These changes in fair value are recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Changes in fair values reflect new information about the likelihood of the payment of the contingent consideration and the passage of time. For asset acquisitions, we record contingent consideration for obligations we consider to be probable and estimable and these liabilities are not adjusted to fair value.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), and chose to apply the provisions of ASC 842 as of the effective date with no restatement of prior periods or cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. Upon adoption, we elected to utilize the package of transition practical expedients, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions related to whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for existing leases. We also made accounting policy elections to not separate lease and non-lease components for our real estate lease and to not recognize leases with an initial term of twelve months or less within our consolidated balance sheets and to recognize those lease payments on a straight-line basis on our consolidated statements of income over the lease term. We did not have any material short-term leases accounted for under this policy during the year ended December 31, 2019.
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current portion of operating lease liability, and long-term operating lease liability on our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. Our incremental borrowing rate is determined based on an evaluation of our creditworthiness and the prevailing market rates for collateralized debt with maturity dates commensurate with the term of each lease. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

103




The lease payments used to determine our ROU assets may include lease incentives, stated rent increases, and escalation clauses linked to rates of inflation when determinable and are recognized in our ROU assets on our consolidated balance sheet. In addition, certain lease agreements contain lease and non-lease components. With the exception of our real estate leases, we separate lease payments for the identified assets from any non-lease payments included in the agreement. For our real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. Additionally, for vehicle and certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account for the related ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.

Restricted Cash

We classified $0.5 million of our cash as restricted cash, a non-current asset on the balance sheet, as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. This amount represented the security deposit delivered to the landlord of our Waltham, Massachusetts headquarters.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses include both external and internal expenses. External expenses primarily include costs of clinical trials and fees paid to contract research organizations (“CROs”), clinical supply and manufacturing expenses, regulatory filing fees, consulting and professional fees as well as other general costs related to the execution of research and development activities. Internal expenses primarily include compensation of employees engaged in research and development activities. Research and development expenses are expensed as incurred. Manufacturing costs are generally expensed as incurred until a product has received the necessary initial regulatory approval.

Patents

We expense all patent-related costs in selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Advertising costs, including promotional expenses, costs related to digital marketing and print media advertising space were $53.3 million, $29.8 million and $9.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation cost is generally measured at the estimated grant date fair value and recorded to expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. Because equity-based compensation expense is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, we must make certain judgments about whether employees, officers, directors, consultants and advisers will complete the requisite service period, and reduce the compensation expense being recognized for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures are estimated based upon historical experience and adjusted for unusual events such as corporate restructurings, which can result in higher than expected turnover and forfeitures. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in future periods, the compensation expense that we record in the future may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.

We estimate the fair value of equity-based compensation involving stock options based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model requires the input of several factors such as the expected option term, the expected risk-free interest rate over the expected option term, the expected volatility of our stock price over the expected option term and the expected dividend yield over the expected option term and are subject to various assumptions. The fair value of awards calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model is generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, and is recognized based on the proportionate amount of the requisite service period that has been rendered during each reporting period.

We estimate the fair value of our restricted stock units (“RSUs”) whose vesting is contingent upon market conditions, such as total shareholder return, using the Monte-Carlo simulation model. The fair value of RSUs where vesting is contingent upon market conditions is amortized based upon the estimated derived service period. The fair value of RSUs granted to our employees and directors whose vesting is dependent on future service is determined based upon the quoted closing market price per share on the date of grant, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.


104




We believe our valuation methodologies are appropriate for estimating the fair value of the equity awards we grant to our employees and directors. Our equity award valuations are estimates and may not be reflective of actual future results or amounts ultimately realized by recipients of these grants. These amounts are subject to future quarterly adjustments based upon a variety of factors, which include, but are not limited to, changes in estimated forfeiture rates and the issuance of new equity-based awards.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A deferred tax asset is established for the expected future benefit of net operating loss (“NOL”) and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets is required if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Significant judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding future events, such as the amount, timing and character of income, deductions and tax credits, are required in the determination of our provision for income taxes and whether valuation allowances are required against deferred tax assets. In evaluating our ability to recover our deferred tax assets, we consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, including the existence of taxable temporary differences, our past operating results, the existence of cumulative income in the most recent fiscal years, changes in the business in which we operate and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, we are responsible for assumptions utilized including the amount of state and federal operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income. As of December 31, 2019, we have established a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets other than refundable alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits to the extent that our existing taxable temporary differences would not be available as a source of income to realize the benefits of those deferred tax assets.

We account for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions. The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors that include, but are not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity, and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position. We evaluate uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis and adjust the level of the liability to reflect any subsequent changes in the relevant facts surrounding the uncertain positions. Any changes to these estimates, based on the actual results obtained and/or a change in assumptions, could impact our income tax provision in future periods. Interest and penalty charges, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits would be classified as a provision for income tax in our consolidated statement of operations.

Comprehensive Loss

Our comprehensive loss consists of net loss and other comprehensive loss. Other comprehensive loss includes changes in equity that are excluded from net loss, which for all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements related to unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale marketable securities, net of tax.

Basic and Diluted Earnings per Share

We compute basic earnings per share by dividing earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings by the diluted number of common shares outstanding during the period. Except where the result would be antidilutive, diluted earnings per common share would be computed assuming the impact of the conversion of the 3.25% convertible senior notes due in 2022 (the “2022 Convertible Notes”), the exercise of outstanding stock options and the vesting of RSUs.
We have a choice to settle the conversion obligation of our 2022 Convertible Notes (the “2022 Convertible Notes”) in cash, shares or any combination of the two. Our policy is to settle the principal balance of the 2022 Convertible Notes in cash. As such, we apply the treasury stock method to these securities and the dilution related to the conversion premium, if any, of the 2022 Convertible Notes is included in the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding to the extent the issuance is dilutive based on the average stock price during each reporting period being greater than the conversion price of the 2022 Convertible Notes.

 In connection with the issuance of the 2019 Convertible Notes, in February 2014, we entered into convertible bond hedges with certain financial institutions. The convertible bond hedges were not included for purposes of calculating the number of diluted shares outstanding, as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The convertible bond hedges and warrants expired in February 2019 in conjunction with the settlement of the 2019 Convertible Notes.

Business Segments
We have determined that we conduct our operations in one business segment: the manufacture, development and commercialization of products for use in treating various conditions, with a focus on maternal and women’s health and anemia management. Long-lived assets consist entirely of intangible assets, property and equipment and are located in the U.S. for all periods presented.  
C.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On August 6, 2018, we completed the sale of our CBR business to GI Partners pursuant to the CBR Purchase Agreement. We determined that the sale of CBR represented a strategic shift that would have a major effect on our business and therefore met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations at June 30, 2018. All historical operating results for CBR were reflected within discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recorded adjustments of $14.1 million for Medicaid rebate claims received that related to prior period sales and $8.8 million for contractual adjustments related to prior period sales. We concluded that these adjustments represented changes in estimate during the year ended December 31, 2019 due to higher Medicaid and payer utilization and subsequent rebate obligations than anticipated based on our historical experience.

Collaboration Revenue

During the first quarter of 2019, in conjunction with the Perosphere transaction, we assumed responsibility for a clinical trial collaboration agreement with a pharmaceutical company. This agreement provided for milestone payments to us, provided we met certain clinical obligations in connection with our ciraparantag program. We also acquired $6.4 million of deferred revenue related to this agreement, which represented the fair value of our remaining performance obligations associated with upfront milestone payments received by Perosphere under this agreement prior to acquisition. We accounted for this agreement under ASC 606.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a termination and settlement agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with the pharmaceutical company which provided for a $10.0 million termination payment to us and stated that no party had any remaining performance obligations effective as of the termination date. The $10.0 million termination payment was received during the fourth quarter of 2019. Under ASC 606, the Termination Agreement met the definition of a contract modification and was accounted for as a cumulative catch-up adjustment at the time of modification.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the $10.0 million termination payment and $6.4 million of deferred revenue were recognized as collaboration revenue in our consolidated statements of operations.

E.    MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Impairments and Unrealized Gains and Losses on Marketable Securities
We did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses in our consolidated statements of operations related to our marketable securities during 2019, 2018 or 2017. We considered various factors, including the length of time that each security was in an unrealized loss position and our ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery of their amortized cost basis occurs. As of December 31, 2019, we have no material losses in an unrealized loss position for more than one year. Future events may occur, or additional information may become available, which may cause us to identify credit losses where we do not expect to receive cash flows sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a security and may necessitate the recording of future realized losses on securities in our portfolio. Significant losses in the estimated fair values of our marketable securities could have a material adverse effect on our earnings in future periods.

Cash equivalents

Our cash equivalents are classified as Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy as these assets have been valued using quoted market prices in active markets and do not have any restrictions on redemption. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, cash equivalents were comprised of funds in money market accounts.
Marketable securities
Our marketable securities are classified as Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy as these assets were primarily determined from independent pricing services, which normally derive security prices from recently reported trades for identical or similar securities, making adjustments based upon other significant observable market transactions. At the end of each reporting period, we perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of prices received from third parties to determine whether prices are reasonable estimates of fair value. After completing our analysis, we did not adjust or override any fair value measurements provided by our pricing services as of December 31, 2019 or 2018. In addition, there were no transfers or reclassifications of any securities between Level 1 and Level 2 during 2019 or 2018.

110




Contingent consideration
In accordance with GAAP, for asset acquisitions, we record contingent consideration for obligations we consider to be probable and estimable and these liabilities are not adjusted to fair value. As of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, no contingent consideration was recorded in accrued expenses.
We recorded contingent consideration related to the November 2014 acquisition of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara Health”) for our Makena product and related to our June 2013 license agreement for MuGard® Mucoadhesive Oral Wound Rinse (the “MuGard License Agreement”) with Abeona Therapeutics, Inc. (“Abeona”), under which we acquired the U.S. commercial rights for the management of oral mucositis and stomatitis (the “MuGard Rights”).
The fair value measurements of contingent consideration obligations and the related intangible assets arising from business combinations are classified as Level 3 under the fair value hierarchy as they have been valued using unobservable inputs. These inputs include: (a) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (b) the probability of the achievement of the factors on which the contingency is based; and (c) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.
During 2018, we reduced the fair value of our contingent consideration liability by approximately $49.6 million, primarily based on actual Makena net sales to date and our expectations for future performance, which indicated that achievement of future milestones is not probable. This adjustment was based on our estimates, which are reliant on a number of external factors as well as the exercise of judgment.
We believe the estimated fair values of the contingent payments associated with Lumara Health and the MuGard Rights are based on reasonable assumptions, however, our actual results may vary significantly from the estimated results.
Debt

We estimate the fair value of our debt obligations by using quoted market prices obtained from third-party pricing services, which is classified as a Level 2 input. As of December 31, 2019, the estimated fair value of the 2022 Convertible Notes was $274.8 million, which differed from its carrying value. As of December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of the 2022 Convertible Notes and the 2019 Convertible Notes was $294.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively, which differed from their carrying values. See Note R, “Debt, for additional information on our debt obligations.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we measured the Makena base technology, Makena auto-injector developed technology, Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology intangible assets at fair value based on indicators of impairment identified for the Makena, Intrarosa and Vyleesi products. The aggregate fair values of our intangible assets at December 31, 2019 was $23.6 million and we recorded total impairment charges of $232.3 million in our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The fair value measurement related to the Makena base technology intangible asset was recorded during the second quarter of 2019. The Makena auto-injector developed technology intangible asset was measured at fair value as of October 29, 2019 and the Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology intangible assets were measured at fair value as of December 31, 2019. See Note I, “Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Net” for additional information regarding our intangible asset impairment assessments.

I.     GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
Goodwill
Our $422.5 million goodwill balance represents goodwill of the continuing business following the goodwill allocation performed in 2018 in connection with the CBR transaction discussed in Note C, “Discontinued Operations.” As of December 31, 2019, we had no accumulated impairment losses related to goodwill. 
2019 Impairment Testing Results
On October 31, 2019 (the “2019 measurement date”), we conducted our 2019 annual goodwill impairment test using a market approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit as of the 2019 measurement date. We considered our market capitalization, as adjusted for a control premium, to be one indicator of the fair value of our reporting unit. On October 31, 2019, our stock price closed at $9.71 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of approximately $329 million, which was below the carrying amount of our reporting unit as of the 2019 measurement date, resulting in an implied control premium of 6%. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we obtained a control premium analysis that benchmarked average control premiums paid in prior merger and acquisition transactions among biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The analysis indicated that control premiums vary depending on facts and circumstances for each transaction. The range of control premiums observed was between 37% and 84%, with a median of 65%. Management believes that using this market approach of assessing reasonable control premiums provided a sufficient basis to assess whether the fair value of our reporting unit, including a range of reasonable control premiums, was above its carrying amount. Incorporating control premiums in this range to our October 31, 2019 market capitalization of $329 million resulted in a fair value which was at least 29% greater (at the low end of the range) than the carrying amount of our net assets as of October 31, 2019. As a result of this review, we determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill at October 31, 2019.
Between October 31, 2019 and December 31, 2019, in accordance with ASC 350, we evaluated business factors, including the business decision to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi, to determine whether there were indicators that the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value. We determine that it was not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying value and accordingly, determined that there was no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2019.

Based on our assessment, we determined that there was no goodwill impairment at October 31, 2019 or December 31, 2019. However, the future occurrence of events including, but are not limited to, an adverse change in current economic and market conditions, including a significant prolonged decline in market capitalization, a significant adverse change in legal factors, unexpected adverse business conditions and an adverse action or assessment by a regulator could indicate potential impairment and trigger an interim impairment assessment of goodwill. As a result of the significance of goodwill, our results of operations and financial position in a future period could be negatively impacted should an impairment test be triggered that results in an impairment of goodwill.

2018 Impairment Testing Results

During the second quarter of 2018, in conjunction with the goodwill allocation required by the CBR transaction and in accordance with ASC 350, we performed a goodwill impairment test to assess whether there were indicators that its fair value was less than its carrying value. As a result of this evaluation, we determined that there was no impairment of goodwill at June 30, 2018.

On October 31, 2018 (the “2018 measurement date”), we conducted our 2018 annual goodwill impairment test using a market approach to estimate the fair value of our reporting unit as of the 2018 measurement date. We considered our market capitalization, as adjusted for a control premium, to be one indicator of the fair value of our reporting unit. On October 31, 2018, our stock price closed at $21.50 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of approximately $742 million, which was below the carrying amount of our reporting unit as of the 2018 measurement date, resulting in an implied control premium of 2%. In the days following our October 31, 2018 annual testing date, our stock price declined, largely in response to our November 1, 2018 earnings release and Company update. This decline resulted in a market capitalization of approximately $633 million on November 5, 2018, resulting in an implied control premium of 20%. During the third quarter of 2018, we obtained an updated control premium analysis that benchmarked average control premiums paid in prior merger and acquisition transactions among biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The analysis indicated that control premiums vary depending on facts and circumstances for each transaction. The range of control premiums observed was between 39% and 96%, with a median of 71%. Management believes that using this market approach of assessing reasonable control premiums provided a sufficient basis to assess whether the fair value of our reporting unit, including a range of reasonable control premiums, was above its carrying amount. Incorporating control premiums in this range to our October 31, 2018 market capitalization of $742 million resulted in a fair value which was at least 36% greater (at the low end of the range) than the carrying amount of our net assets as of October 31, 2018. As a result of this review, we determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill at October 31, 2018.
Between October 31, 2018 and December 31, 2018, our stock price continued to fluctuate, with a median closing stock price of $17.84 per share for the period from November 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018. The median closing stock price of $17.84 per share resulted in a market capitalization of approximately $617 million, which as compared to the $747 million carrying amount of our reporting unit at December 31, 2018 resulted in an implied control premium of 21%. Incorporating the range of control premiums obtained from the control premium study used in our annual goodwill impairment test at October 31, 2018 to the calculated market capitalization of $617 million resulted in a fair value which was at least 15% greater (at the low end of the range) than the carrying amount of our net assets as of December 31, 2018. Using the closing stock price of $15.19 per share on December 31, 2018 results in an implied control premium of 41%. This implied control premium is within the range of control premiums observed. As a result of this review, we determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill between our annual goodwill impairment test date and December 31, 2018. In addition, we determined that there were no other indicators of impairment through December 31, 2018 requiring further assessment.

During the second quarter of 2019, Vyleesi received FDA approval, which triggered a $60.0 million milestone payment, which was capitalized as developed technology.

Late in the second quarter of 2019, we were notified that an additional manufacturing site for the Makena IM products, which relates to the Makena base technology intangible asset, received FDA approval. However, the approval was received later than expected and the extended period of the stock-out caused our authorized generic partner to lose additional customers and market share, resulting in no shipments of IM to our authorized generic partner during that quarter. As a result of this loss of market share, we deemed it probable as of the end of the second quarter of 2019 that we would terminate the Distribution and Supply Agreement with our authorized generic partner. We do not expect to generate any future revenues from shipments

113




of the IM products. Accordingly, we eliminated the Makena IM products from our long-term revenue forecast during the second quarter of 2019. These business factors were considered indicators of impairment for the Makena base technology intangible asset during the second quarter of 2019. We determined that the fair value of the Makena base technology intangible asset was zero at June 30, 2019, and as a result, we recorded an impairment charge for the full remaining value of the asset of $77.4 million, which was recorded within a separate operating expense line item on our consolidated statements of operations. The Distribution and Supply Agreement with our authorized generic partner was terminated in August 2019 and we have not sold any Makena IM in the second half of 2019.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we identified indicators of impairment for the Makena auto-injector developed technology, Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology intangible assets (each part of its own asset group) related to (i) the October 29, 2019 unfavorable FDA Advisory Committee recommendation for Makena as described in Note A, “Description of Business”, and (ii) the December 2019 decision to divest Intrarosa and Vyleesi based on the strategic review that we conducted. We determined that the Intrarosa and Vyleesi asset groups did not meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2019 and as a result, assessed these assets for potential impairment under the held and used guidance. For each asset group, we estimated the sum of the undiscounted projected cash flows and found that the sum of the projected, probability-weighted undiscounted cash flows were less than the carrying value of each corresponding asset group. Therefore, we reassessed the fair value of each asset group using an income approach, a Level 3 measurement technique, which included probability weighting a range of potential outcomes as impacted by multiple significant and inter-related business factors. For all three asset groups, these significant assumptions included an estimated probability of a negative FDA action with respect to Makena and the expected timing of any such FDA action. In addition, for the Intrarosa and Vyleesi asset groups, management’s assessment also included assumptions regarding the probability of completing a sale of these assets and the expected timing of a sale, should one occur. We derived these estimates based on management’s judgment as informed by externally available information. We believe the assumptions we used to determine the estimated fair value of the asset groups are reasonable. Based on our consideration of these probability-weighted assumptions evaluated in the aggregate, we recorded impairment charges of $55.4 million, $56.9 million and $39.0 million to reduce the carrying values of the Makena auto-injector developed technology, Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology intangible assets to their respective estimated fair values. Total impairment charges of $155.0 million were recorded within a separate operating expense line item in our consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of 2019, of which $151.3 million were allocated to the intangible assets in each asset group. In addition, we reassessed and prospectively adjusted the estimated remaining useful lives of the Makena auto-injector developed technology, Intrarosa developed technology and Vyleesi developed technology intangible assets and other long-lived assets within each asset group. As such, we accelerated amortization of these intangible assets resulting in an additional $7.1 million of expense recorded in 2019. As described in more detail above, our assessment was based on our estimates and assumptions, a number of which are based on external factors and the exercise of management judgment. Actual results may differ significantly from our estimates.

As of December 31, 2019, the weighted average estimated remaining amortization period for our finite-lived intangible assets was approximately one year. Total amortization expense for 2019, 2018 and 2017, was $24.8 million, $158.4 million and $130.4 million, respectively. Amortization expense is recorded in cost of product sales in our consolidated statements of operations. We expect amortization expense related to our finite-lived intangible assets to be $23.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized an immaterial income tax benefit, representing an effective tax rate of 0.0%. The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21.0% and the effective tax rate of 0.0% for the year ended December 31, 2019, was primarily attributable to the valuation allowance established against our current period losses generated and the non-deductible IPR&D expense related to the Perosphere acquisition.We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits to the extent that our existing taxable temporary differences would not be available as a source of income to realize the benefits of those deferred tax assets. The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2019 primarily related to the offset of the recognition of the income tax expense recorded in other comprehensive loss associated with the increase in the value of available-for-sale securities that we carried at fair market value during the period, partially offset by state income taxes.
For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recognized income tax expense of $39.7 million representing an effective tax rate of (30.6)%. The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21.0% and the (30.6)% effective tax rate for 2018 was primarily attributable to the establishment of a valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits, the impact of non-deductible stock compensation and other non-deductible expenses, partially offset by a benefit from contingent consideration associated with Lumara Health, state income taxes and orphan drug tax credits. The valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, other than refundable AMT credits, increased during the year ended December 31, 2018 primarily because the deferred tax liabilities associated with the CBR business, which was reclassified to discontinued operations and sold during the year ended December 31, 2018, are no longer available as a source of income to realize the benefits of the net deferred tax assets.

115





For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized an income tax benefit of $175.3 million representing an effective tax rate of 46.1%. The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 35.0% and the 46.1% effective tax rate for 2017 was primarily attributable to the impact of the 2017 federal tax reform legislation, as discussed below, contingent consideration associated with Lumara Health, federal research and orphan drug tax credits generated during the year, and the impact of state income taxes, partially offset by equity-based compensation expenses and an increase to our valuation allowance.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”), was enacted. The 2017 Tax Act includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a reduction of the federal corporate income tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, effective January 1, 2018. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. As a result of the reduction in the federal tax rate from 35.0% to 21.0%, we revalued our ending net deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2017 and recognized a $17.6 million tax benefit.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using future enacted rates. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The components of our deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

The valuation allowance increased by approximately $103.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. We have established a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits to the extent that our existing taxable temporary differences would not be available as a source of income to realize the benefits of those deferred tax assets. Our valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets, other than refundable AMT credits, increased during the year ended December 31, 2019, primarily due to our current period losses generated.
At December 31, 2019, we had federal and state NOL carryforwards of approximately $332.8 million and $184.6 million, respectively, of which $123.1 million and $16.6 million federal and state NOL carryforwards, were acquired as part of the Lumara Health transaction, respectively, and $21.4 million and $14.6 million federal and state NOL carryforwards were acquired as part of the Perosphere transaction, respectively. The majority of the federal and state NOLs expire at various dates

116




through 2039. We have $127.4 million of federal NOLs generated after 2017 which will not expire. We have federal tax credits of approximately $26.1 million to offset future tax liabilities of which $2.3 million were acquired as part of the Lumara Health transaction and $2.3 million of which were acquired as part of the Perosphere transaction. We have state tax credits of $2.5 million to offset future tax liabilities of which $1.2 million were acquired as part of the Perosphere transaction. These federal and state tax credits will expire periodically through 2039 if not utilized. We have a capital loss carryforward of $90.4 million from the sale of the CBR business that can only be used to offset future capital gains and expires in 2023. Our interest expense carryforward is $23.6 million, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
Utilization of our NOLs, interest expense carryforwards, and research and development (“R&D”) credit carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“Section 382”) as well as similar state provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOLs and interest expense carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset future taxable income and may limit the amounts of R&D credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually to offset taxes. In general, an ownership change as defined by Section 382 results from transactions increasing the ownership of certain shareholders or public groups in the stock of a corporation by more than 50% over a three-year period. Since our formation, we have raised capital through the issuance of capital stock on several occasions. These financings, combined with the purchasing shareholders’ subsequent disposition of those shares, could result in a change of control, as defined by Section 382. We conducted an analysis under Section 382 to determine if historical changes in ownership through December 31, 2019, based upon publicly available information as of December 31, 2019, would limit or otherwise restrict our ability to utilize these NOLs, interest expense, and R&D credit carryforwards. As a result of this analysis, we do not believe there are any significant limitations on our ability to utilize these carryforwards. The NOLs and tax credits acquired from Lumara Health and Perosphere are subject to restrictions under Section 382. These restricted NOLs and credits may be utilized subject to an annual limitation. We identified ownership changes associated with the attributes acquired as part of the Lumara Health and Perosphere transactions and determined these attributes are subject to annual limitations. Future changes in ownership after December 31, 2019 could affect the limitation in future years and any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL or R&D credit carryforwards before utilization.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the effective tax rate if recognized is immaterial, as the majority of our uncertain tax positions relate to NOL and credit carryforwards, which, if recognized, are currently expected to require a full valuation allowance.

Our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2019 increased by $2.4 million as compared to December 31, 2018 primarily due to tax reserves associated with NOLs and R&D credit carryforwards acquired in connection with the Perosphere transaction.

Our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2018 increased by $0.6 million as compared to December 31, 2017 primarily due to tax reserves established on R&D tax credits.

Our unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2017 decreased by $2.5 million as compared to December 31, 2016 primarily due to the change in the federal tax rate, which reduced the future value of our federal NOLs and the corresponding value of the unrecognized tax benefits related to those NOLs. This decrease was partially offset by tax reserves established on R&D tax credits.

We have recorded minimal interest or penalties on unrecognized tax benefits since inception. We recognize both accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly in the next 12 months.

The statute of limitations for assessment by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and most state tax authorities is closed for tax years prior to December 31, 2016, although carryforward attributes that were generated prior to tax year 2016 may still be adjusted upon examination by the IRS or state tax authorities if they either have been or will be used in a future period. We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions. There are currently no federal or state audits in progress.

M.     EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
We currently maintain three equity compensation plans, namely our 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”), which was approved by our stockholders at our 2019 annual meeting and replaced our Fourth Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”), the Lumara Health Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Lumara Health 2013 Plan”) and our 2015 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2015 ESPP”). All outstanding stock options granted under each of our equity compensation plans other than our 2015 ESPP (discussed below) have an exercise price equal to the closing price of a share of our common stock on the grant date.
Our 2019 Plan succeeded our 2007 Plan, which has expired and under which no further grants may be made. The number of shares available for future grants under the 2019 Plan consists of the sum of (i) the number of shares that remained available for issuance under the 2007 Plan as of the date of adoption of the 2019 Plan and (ii) an additional 2,161,000 shares. All outstanding awards granted under the 2007 Plan will remain subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan. In addition, any shares subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2007 Plan that expire or terminate for any reason prior to exercise will be added to the total number of shares of our stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The allotted number of shares available for issuance under the 2019 Plan was 3,519,304 as of December 31, 2019 and there were 2,828,030 shares remaining available for future issuance under the 2019 Plan. As of December 31, 2019, all outstanding options under both the 2019 Plan and 2007 Plan have a ten-year term.
In November 2014, we assumed the Lumara Health 2013 Plan in connection with the acquisition of Lumara Health. The total number of shares issuable pursuant to awards under this plan as of the effective date of the acquisition and after taking into account any adjustments as a result of the acquisition, was 200,000 shares. As of December 31, 2019, there were 9,817 shares remaining available for issuance under the Lumara Health 2013 Plan, which are available for grants to certain employees, officers, directors, consultants, and advisers of AMAG and our subsidiaries who are newly-hired or who previously performed services for Lumara Health. All outstanding options under the Lumara Health 2013 Plan have a ten-year term.
The 2019 Plan, 2007 Plan and the Lumara Health 2013 Plan provide for the grant of stock options, RSUs, restricted stock, stock, stock appreciation rights and other equity interests in our company. We generally issue common stock from previously authorized but unissued shares to satisfy option exercises and RSU awards. The terms and conditions of each award are determined by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Compensation Committee of our Board. The terms and conditions of each award assumed in the acquisition of Lumara Health were previously determined by Lumara Health prior to being assumed in connection with the acquisition, subject to applicable adjustments made in connection with such acquisition.

In May 2015, our stockholders approved our 2015 ESPP, which authorizes the issuance of up to 200,000 shares of our common stock to eligible employees. In June 2018, at our annual meeting of stockholders, our stockholders approved an amendment to our 2015 ESPP to increase the maximum number of shares of our common stock that will be made available for sale thereunder by 500,000 shares. The terms of the 2015 ESPP permit eligible employees to purchase shares (subject to certain plan and tax limitations) in semi-annual offerings through payroll deductions of up to an annual maximum of 10% of the employee’s “compensation” as defined in the 2015 ESPP. Shares are purchased at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of our common stock on either the first or last business day of the offering period, whichever is lower. Plan periods consist of six-month periods typically commencing June 1 and ending November 30 and commencing December 1 and ending May 31. As of December 31, 2019, 445,713 shares have been issued under our 2015 ESPP.

118





During 2019, we also granted equity through inducement grants outside of our equity compensation plans to certain employees to induce them to accept employment with us (collectively, “Inducement Grants”). The options were granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the respective grant dates and will be exercisable in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the respective grant dates. The RSU grants will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the respective grant dates. The foregoing grants were made pursuant to inducement grants outside of our stockholder approved equity plans as permitted under the NASDAQ Stock Market listing rules. We assessed the terms of these awards and determined there was no possibility that we would have to settle these awards in cash and therefore, equity accounting was applied.

In February 2019, March 2018 and February 2017, we granted RSUs under our 2007 Plan to certain members of our senior management covering a maximum of 365,591, 206,250 and 191,250 shares of common stock, respectively. These performance-based RSUs will vest, if at all, on February 24, 2022, March 1, 2021 and February 22, 2020, respectively, based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) performance measured against the median TSR of a defined group of companies over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2019, the maximum shares of common stock that may be issued under these awards was 325,091, 155,250 and 131,250, respectively. The maximum aggregate total fair value of these RSUs at December 31, 2019 was $4.2 million, $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, which is being recognized as expense over a period of three years from the date of grant, net of any estimated and actual forfeitures.

In addition to the equity-based compensation expense presented in the table above, we incurred $0.7 million of equity-based compensation expense related to the restructuring activities during the first quarter of 2019, which is classified within restructuring expense on our consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Risk free interest rates utilized are based upon published U.S. Treasury yields at the date of the grant for the expected option term. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, we estimated our expected stock price volatility by using the historical volatility of our own common stock price over the prior period equivalent to our expected option term, in order to better reflect expected future volatility. To compute the expected option term, we analyze historical exercise experience as well as expected stock option exercise patterns.

The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $6.33, $10.76 and $9.52, respectively. A total of 728,758 stock options vested during 2019. The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during 2019, 2018 and 2017, excluding purchases made pursuant to our 2015 ESPP, measured as of the exercise date, was approximately $0.0 million, $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The intrinsic value of a stock option is the amount by which the fair market value of the underlying stock on a specific date exceeds the exercise price of the common stock option.

The weighted average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $15.65, $22.32 and $24.18, respectively. The total fair value of RSUs that vested during 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $9.1 million, $12.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively.

At December 31, 2019, the amount of unrecorded equity-based compensation expense for both option and RSU awards, attributable to future periods was approximately $28.1 million. Of this amount, $11.5 million was associated with stock options and is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over a weighted average period of approximately 2.5 years, $12.3 million was associated with RSUs and is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over a weighted average period of approximately 1.7 years, and $4.3 million was associated with performance-based RSUs and is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis to expense over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 years. Such amounts will be amortized primarily to research and development or selling, general and administrative expense. These future estimates are subject to change based upon a variety of future events, which include, but are not limited to, changes in estimated forfeiture rates, employee turnover, and the issuance of new stock options and other equity-based awards.

N.    EMPLOYEE SAVINGS PLAN
We provide a 401(k) Plan to our employees by which they may defer compensation for income tax purposes under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each employee may elect to defer a percentage of his or her salary up to a specified maximum. As of December 31, 2019 our 401(k) Plan provided, among other things, for a company contribution of 4% of each employee’s combined salary and certain other compensation for the plan year. Contributions by us to the 401(k) Plan are not taxable to employees until withdrawn from the 401(k) Plan and contributions are deductible by us when made. The amount of our company contribution for the 401(k) Plan was $3.7 million, $4.0 million and $2.3 million for 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
O.     STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

As of January 1, 2019, we had $20.5 million available under our previously approved program to repurchase up to $60.0 million in shares of our common stock. In March 2019, our Board authorized additional repurchases of shares in an amount up to $20.0 million under this program. The repurchase program does not have an expiration date and may be suspended for periods or discontinued at any time. Under the program, we may purchase our stock from time to time at the discretion of management in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including share price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. We may also from time to time establish a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 to facilitate purchases of our shares under this program. During 2019, we repurchased and retired 1,074,800 shares of common stock under this repurchase program for $13.7 million. During 2018, we did not repurchase shares of common stock under this program. As of December 31, 2019, $26.8 million remains available for the repurchase of shares under the program.

P.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
Our long-term contractual obligations include commitments and estimated purchase obligations entered into in the normal course of business. These include commitments related to our facility and vehicle leases, purchases of inventory, debt obligations, and other purchase obligations.
Operating Lease Obligations
During 2019, we had operating leases for real estate, including our lease for use as our principal executive offices, vehicles and office equipment. As of January 1, 2019, we recorded operating lease liabilities of $8.5 million and related ROU assets of $7.6 million in connection with our adoption of ASC 842. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we modified the operating lease for our principal executive offices to extend the term through July 2028. As of December 31, 2019, we had operating lease liabilities of $23.9 million and related ROU assets of $23.3 million. As of December 31, 2019, our leases have remaining terms of one to 8.5 years. The weighted average remaining lease term and discount rate for our operating leases was 7.95 years and 5.1% at December 31, 2019, respectively.

Lease costs for our operating leases were $5.1 million, $5.1 million and $3.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Operating cash outflows for operating leases were $5.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Purchase Obligations

Purchase obligations primarily represent minimum purchase commitments for inventory. As of December 31, 2019, our minimum purchase commitments totaled $105.9 million.

Contingent Regulatory and Commercial Milestone Payments

We are required to make payments contingent on the achievement of certain regulatory and/or commercial milestones under the terms of our collaboration, license and other strategic agreements. Please refer to Note Q, “Collaboration, License and Other Strategic Agreements” for additional details regarding these contingent payments.
Employment Arrangements

We have entered into employment agreements or other arrangements with most of our executive officers and certain other employees, which provide for the continuation of salary and certain benefits and, in certain instances, the acceleration of the vesting of certain equity awards to such individuals in the event that the individual is terminated other than for cause, as defined in the applicable employment agreements or arrangements.


122




Indemnification Obligations

As permitted under Delaware law, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and agreements with all of our current directors, executive officers, and certain of our employees, we are obligated to indemnify such individuals for certain events or occurrences while the officer, director or employee is, or was, serving at our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification obligations is not capped. Our director and officer insurance policy limits our initial exposure and our policy provides significant coverage. As a result, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification obligations is likely to be immaterial.

We are also a party to a number of other agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contract manufacturers, clinical sites and customers, which contain typical provisions and which obligate us to indemnify the other parties to such agreements upon the occurrence of certain events. Such indemnification obligations are usually in effect from the date of execution of the applicable agreement for a period equal to the applicable statute of limitations. Our aggregate maximum potential future liability under such indemnification provisions is uncertain. We have not incurred any expenses as a result of such indemnification provisions during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 or 2017. Accordingly, we have determined that the estimated aggregate fair value of our potential liabilities under such indemnification provisions is not significant, and we have not recorded any liability related to such indemnification.

Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

We accrue a liability for legal contingencies when we believe that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that we can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. We review these accruals and adjust them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and our views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations or legal proceedings change, changes in our accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such determination is made. For certain matters referenced below, the liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and, therefore, accruals have not been made. In addition, in accordance with the relevant authoritative guidance, for any matters in which the likelihood of material loss is at least reasonably possible, we will provide disclosure of the possible loss or range of loss. If a reasonable estimate cannot be made, however, we will provide disclosure to that effect. We expense legal costs as they are incurred.
On November 6, 2019, we were served with a summons in a case filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, captioned Civil Case in Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe v. Purdue Pharma et al (Case No. 1-19-op-45841). The complaint names K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) (Lumara Health’s predecessor company), certain of its successor entities, subsidiaries and affiliate entities as defendants, along with over forty other pharmaceutical companies. We acquired Lumara Health in November 2014, a year after KV emerged from bankruptcy protection, at which time it and its then-existing subsidiaries became our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The plaintiff in this action alleges that KV’s subsidiary, Ethex Corporation (as well as the other pharmaceutical companies named in the complaint), manufactured, promoted, sold, and distributed opioids, including a generic version of morphine. We are in discussions with the plaintiff’s counsel to dismiss all claims in the Chippewa case. At this time, based on available information, we are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any.

On November 1, 2019, we were named as a defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, captioned Barnes v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 3:19-cv-05088-RK (W.D. Mo.).  Subsequently, other plaintiffs represented by the same law firm have filed four similar class action lawsuits in other jurisdictions, captioned Gill v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 2:19-cv-02681-DDC-JPO (D. Kan., filed Nov. 4, 2019), Faughnan, et al. v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 3:19-cv-01394-FJS-ML (N.D.N.Y, filed Nov. 12, 2019), Zamifrova v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 2:20-cv-00152-JMV-SCM (D.N.J., filed Jan. 3, 2020) and Nelson v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Case No. 2:20-cv-00089-WBS-DMC (E.D. Cal., filed Jan. 13, 2020). The plaintiffs in these actions, on behalf of themselves and purported state-wide classes of similarly situated consumers, assert claims for violation of state consumer protection laws and unjust enrichment based on allegations that we and/or our predecessor companies made misrepresentations and omissions regarding the effectiveness of Makena in connection with the sale and marketing of that product from 2011 through the present. Because these cases are in the earliest stages, we are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any.

On August 29, 2019, Lunar Representative, LLC (“Plaintiff”), on behalf of the former equityholders of Lumara Health Inc. (“Lumara”), filed a complaint against us in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Lunar Representative, LLC v. AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (No. 2019-0688-JTL). On September 25, 2019, we filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On January 9,

123




2020, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint. Plaintiff alleges that we did not exercise commercially reasonable efforts to market and sell the drug product Makena, and failed to achieve sales milestones for Makena, in breach of certain provisions of the September 28, 2014 Agreement and Plan of Merger between, among other parties, us and Lumara. On January 24, 2020, we filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiff is seeking damages of $50.0 million, together with pre- and post-judgment interest, as well as attorneys’ fees and costs. At this time, based on available information, we are unable to reasonably assess the ultimate outcome of this case or determine an estimate, or a range of estimates, of potential losses. We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the allegations.  

On or about April 6, 2016, we received Notice of a Lawsuit and Request to Waive Service of a Summons in a case entitled Plumbers’ Local Union No. 690 Health Plan v. Actavis Group et. al. (“Plumbers’ Union”), which was filed in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania and, after removal to federal court, is now pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (Civ. Action No. 16-65-AB). Thereafter, we were also made aware of a related complaint entitled Delaware Valley Health Care Coalition v. Actavis Group et. al. (“Delaware Valley”), which was filed with the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County, First Judicial District of Pennsylvania District Court of Pennsylvania (Case ID: 160200806). The complaints name K-V Pharmaceutical Company (“KV”) (Lumara Health’s predecessor company), certain of its successor entities, subsidiaries and affiliate entities (the “Subsidiaries”), along with a number of other pharmaceutical companies. We acquired Lumara Health in November 2014, a year after KV emerged from bankruptcy protection, at which time it, along with its then existing subsidiaries, became our wholly-owned subsidiary. We have not been served with process or waived service of summons in either case. The actions are being brought alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices with regard to certain pricing practices that allegedly resulted in certain payers overpaying for certain of KV’s generic products. On July 21, 2016, the Plaintiff in the Plumbers’ Union case dismissed KV with prejudice to refiling and on October 6, 2016, all claims against the Subsidiaries were dismissed without prejudice. We are in discussions with Plaintiff’s counsel to similarly dismiss all claims in the Delaware Valley case. Because we have not been served with process in the Delaware Valley case, we are currently unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of potential loss associated with this matter, if any.

On July 20, 2015, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) notified us that it is conducting an investigation into whether Lumara Health or its predecessor engaged in unfair methods of competition with respect to Makena or any hydroxyprogesterone caproate product. The FTC noted in its letter that the existence of the investigation does not indicate that the FTC has concluded that Lumara Health or its predecessor has violated the law and we believe that our contracts and practices comply with relevant law and policy, including the federal Drug Quality and Security Act (the “DQSA”), which was enacted in November 2013, and public statements from and enforcement actions by the FDA regarding its implementation of the DQSA. We have provided the FTC with a response providing a brief overview of the DQSA for context, which we believe was helpful, including: (a) how the statute outlined that large-scale compounding of products that are copies or near-copies of FDA-approved drugs (like Makena) is not in the interests of public safety; (b) our belief that the DQSA has had a significant impact on the compounding of hydroxyprogesterone caproate; and (c) how our contracts with former compounders allow those compounders to continue to serve physicians and patients with respect to supplying medically necessary alternative/altered forms of hydroxyprogesterone caproate. We believe we have fully cooperated with the FTC and we have had no further interactions with the FTC on this matter since we provided our response to the FTC in August 2015.
We may periodically become subject to other legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with ongoing business activities, including claims or disputes related to patents that have been issued or that are pending in the field of research on which we are focused. Other than the above actions, we are not aware of any material claims against us as of December 31, 2019 or 2018.

Q.     COLLABORATION, LICENSE AND OTHER STRATEGIC AGREEMENTS
During 2019, we were a party to the following collaboration, license or other strategic agreements:
Perosphere

On January 16, 2019, we acquired Perosphere Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Perosphere”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Perosphere Agreement”), dated as of December 12, 2018 between AMAG and Perosphere. Pursuant to the Perosphere Agreement, in January 2019, we paid approximately $50.0 million (the “Upfront Merger Consideration”). Of the Upfront Merger Consideration, approximately $40.0 million was funded from our available cash and approximately $10.0 million was deemed paid in connection with the cancellation of a convertible note in the principal amount of $10.0 million issued to us by Perosphere in October 2018. In addition to the Upfront Merger Consideration, we used available cash to repay $12.0 million of Perosphere’s term loan indebtedness and approximately $6.2 million of Perosphere’s other liabilities. We are also required to pay regulatory and sales milestone payments to Perosphere as described in more detail below. Further, we were

124




a party to a clinical trial collaboration agreement with a pharmaceutical company, which we acquired through the Perosphere transaction, which provided for partial funding of the Phase 3 program for ciraparantag if certain clinical milestones were met. In December 2019, the clinical trial collaboration agreement with the pharmaceutical company was terminated as described in more detail in Note D, “Revenue Recognition.”

Substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired in conjunction with the Perosphere transaction was concentrated in the IPR&D asset. As a result, we accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition under ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”). The acquired IPR&D was charged to expense at acquisition, as it relates to a development stage compound with no alternative future use. A summary of the assets and liabilities acquired in exchange for cash consideration of $60.8 million and $10.0 million that was deemed paid in connection with the cancellation of the convertible note, described above, is presented in the following table (in millions):
Assets:

$
(8.9
)


Excluded from the table above are contingent payments associated with achievement of potential regulatory and sales milestones as described below, which were not deemed probable at the date of acquisition. The fair values of certain of the assets and liabilities acquired are classified as Level 3 estimates under the fair value hierarchy as they have been valued using unobservable inputs. These inputs include: (a) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows; (b) the probability of the achievement of key development and regulatory objectives; and (c) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. The fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired were initially valued and recorded based on various market factors, including an analysis of estimated sales using a discount rate of approximately 34%.

Under and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Perosphere Agreement, we are obligated to pay future contingent consideration of up to an aggregate of $365.0 million (the “Milestone Payments”), including (a) up to an aggregate of $140.0 million that becomes payable upon the achievement of specified regulatory milestones for ciraparantag (the “Regulatory Milestone Payments”), including a $40.0 million milestone payment upon approval of ciraparantag by the European Medicines Agency and (b) up to an aggregate of $225.0 million that becomes payable conditioned upon the achievement of specified sales milestones (the “Sales Milestone Payments”). If the final label approved for ciraparantag in the U.S. includes a boxed warning, the Regulatory Milestone Payments shall no longer be payable, and any previously paid Regulatory Milestone Payments shall be credited against 50% of any future Milestone Payments that otherwise becomes payable. The first sales milestone payment of $20.0 million will be payable upon annual net sales of ciraparantag of at least $100.0 million.
Velo

In September 2018, we exercised our option to acquire the global rights to AMAG-423 pursuant to an option agreement entered into in July 2015 with Velo Bio, LLC (“Velo”), the terms of which were amended at the time of exercise. Under the terms of the agreement, we paid Velo an upfront option exercise fee of $12.5 million and are obligated to pay Velo a $30.0 million milestone payment upon FDA approval of AMAG-423. In addition, we are obligated to pay sales milestone payments to Velo of up to $240.0 million in the aggregate, triggered at various annual net sales thresholds between $300.0 million and $900.0 million and low-single digit royalties based on net sales. Further, we have assumed additional obligations under a previous agreement entered into by Velo with a third-party, including a $5.0 million milestone payment upon regulatory approval and $10.0 million following the first commercial sale of AMAG-423, payable in quarterly installments as a percentage of quarterly gross commercial sales until the obligation is met. We are also obligated to pay the third-party low-single digit royalties based on net sales. We accounted for this transaction as an asset acquisition under ASU 2017-01.

125




Prasco

In December 2017, we entered into a Distribution and Supply Agreement (the “Prasco Agreement”) with Prasco, LLC (“Prasco”), under which Prasco was granted an exclusive, non-sublicensable, nontransferable license to purchase, distribute and sell a generic version of Makena in the U.S. (the “Makena authorized generic”). In July 2018, Prasco launched the Makena authorized generic of both the single-dose and multi-dose IM injections and in August 2019, we and Prasco terminated the Prasco Agreement based on our determination that it was not commercially viable to continue the relationship. Under the Prasco Agreement, we were responsible for the manufacture and supply of the Makena authorized generic to be sold to Prasco at a predetermined supply price. Prasco was also required to pay us a certain percentage of the net distributable profits from the sale of the Makena authorized generic. We accounted for revenue recognized under the Prasco Agreement in accordance with ASC 606. Pursuant to the terms of the Prasco Agreement, in certain circumstances we have reimbursed Prasco as a result of our failure to supply a certain percentage of product ordered by Prasco in a prespecified timeframe. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred $3.5 million of failure to supply penalties, the majority of which were incurred in the first quarter of 2019.
Antares

We are party to a development and license agreement (the “Antares License Agreement”) with Antares Pharma, Inc. (“Antares”), which grants us an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, to certain intellectual property rights, including know-how, patents and trademarks, to develop, use, sell, offer for sale and import and export the Makena auto-injector. Under the terms of the Antares License Agreement, as amended in March 2018, we are responsible for the clinical development and preparation, submission and maintenance of all regulatory applications in each country where we desire to market and sell the Makena auto-injector, including the U.S. We are required to pay royalties to Antares on net sales of the Makena auto-injector until the Antares License Agreement is terminated (the “Antares Royalty Term”). The royalty rates range from high single digit to low double digits and are tiered based on levels of net sales of the Makena auto-injector and decrease after the expiration of licensed patents or where there are generic equivalents to the Makena auto-injector being sold in a particular country. In addition, we are required to pay Antares sales milestone payments upon the achievement of certain annual net sales. The Antares License Agreement terminates at the end of the Antares Royalty Term, but is subject to early termination by us for convenience and by either party upon an uncured breach by or bankruptcy of the other party. In March 2018, the Antares License Agreement was amended to, among other things, transfer the agreement to AMAG from our subsidiary, amend certain confidentiality provisions, and to provide for co-termination with the Antares Manufacturing Agreement (described below).

We are also party to a Manufacturing Agreement with Antares (the “Antares Manufacturing Agreement”) that sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Antares agreed to sell to us on an exclusive basis, and we agreed to purchase, the fully packaged Makena auto-injector for commercial distribution. Antares remains responsible for the manufacture and supply of the device components and assembly of the Makena auto-injector. We are responsible for the supply of the drug to be used in the assembly of the finished auto-injector product. The Antares Manufacturing Agreement terminates at the expiration or earlier termination of the Antares License Agreement, but is subject to early termination by us for certain supply failure situations, and by either party upon an uncured breach by or bankruptcy of the other party or our permanent cessation of commercialization of the Makena auto-injector for efficacy or safety reasons.

Endoceutics

In February 2017, we entered into the Endoceutics License Agreement with Endoceutics, Inc. (“Endoceutics”) to obtain an exclusive right to commercialize Intrarosa for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (“VVA”) and FSD in the United States. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to market, promote and otherwise commercialize Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA. The transactions contemplated by the Endoceutics License Agreement closed on April 3, 2017. We accounted for the Endoceutics License Agreement as an asset acquisition under ASU 2017-01.
Upon the closing of the Endoceutics License Agreement, we made an upfront payment of $50.0 million and issued 600,000 shares of unregistered common stock to Endoceutics, which had a value of $13.5 million, as measured on April 3, 2017, the date of closing. In addition, we paid Endoceutics $10.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 upon the delivery by Endoceutics of Intrarosa launch quantities and $10.0 million in 2018 following the first anniversary of the closing. In the second quarter of 2017, we recorded a total of $83.5 million of consideration, of which $77.7 million was allocated to the Intrarosa developed technology intangible asset and $5.8 million was recorded as IPR&D expense based on their relative fair values.
Under the terms of the Endoceutics License Agreement, we pay tiered royalties to Endoceutics equal to a percentage of net sales of Intrarosa in the U.S. ranging from mid-teens to mid twenty percent. Endoceutics is also eligible to receive certain sales

126




milestone payments up to an aggregate of $895.0 million, including a first sales milestone payment of $15.0 million, which would be triggered when Intrarosa annual net U.S. sales exceed $150.0 million.

In April 2017, we entered into an exclusive commercial supply agreement with Endoceutics pursuant to which Endoceutics, itself or through affiliates or contract manufacturers, agreed to manufacture and supply Intrarosa to us (the “Endoceutics Supply Agreement”) and is our exclusive supplier of Intrarosa in the U.S., subject to certain rights for us to manufacture and supply Intrarosa in the event of a cessation notice or supply failure (as such terms are defined in the Endoceutics Supply Agreement). The Endoceutics Supply Agreement will generally remain in effect until the termination of the Endoceutics License Agreement.
The Endoceutics License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Endoceutics License Agreement.
Palatin
In January 2017, we entered into a license agreement with Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”) under which we acquired (a) an exclusive license in all countries of North America (the “Palatin Territory”), with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and commercialize the Vyleesi Products, (b) a worldwide non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to manufacture the Vyleesi Products, and (c) a non-exclusive license in all countries outside the Palatin Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research and develop (but not commercialize) the Vyleesi Products (the “Palatin License Agreement”). The transaction closed in February 2017 and was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASU 2017-01.
Under the terms of the Palatin License Agreement, in February 2017 we paid Palatin $60.0 million as a one-time upfront payment and subject to agreed-upon deductions reimbursed Palatin approximately $25.0 million for reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Palatin in connection with the development and regulatory activities necessary to submit the Vyleesi New Drug Application (“NDA”) in the U.S. The $60.0 million upfront payment made in February 2017 to Palatin was recorded as IPR&D expense as the product candidate had not received regulatory approval. In June 2018, our NDA submission to the FDA for Vyleesi was accepted, which triggered a $20.0 million milestone payment, which we paid in the second quarter of 2018 and recorded as an IPR&D expense in the first quarter of 2018 when acceptance was deemed probable. In June 2019, the FDA approval of Vyleesi triggered a $60.0 million milestone payment to Palatin, which we paid in July 2019 and recorded as a developed technology intangible asset in the second quarter of 2019.
In addition, the Palatin License Agreement requires us to make contingent payments of up to $300.0 million of aggregate sales milestone payments upon the achievement of certain annual net sales milestones over the course of the license. The first sales milestone payment of $25.0 million will be triggered when Vyleesi annual net sales exceed $250.0 million. We are also obligated to pay Palatin tiered royalties on annual net sales of the Vyleesi Products, on a product-by-product basis, in the Palatin Territory ranging from the high-single digits to the low double-digits. After the expiration of the applicable royalties for any Vyleesi Product in a given country, the license for such Vyleesi Product in such country would become a fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license. The Palatin License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Palatin License Agreement.
Abeona
We acquired the U.S. commercial rights to MuGard, a prescription oral mucoadhesive, under a June 2013 license agreement with Abeona (the “MuGard Rights”). We ceased selling MuGard at the end of 2019.

In accordance with accounting guidance for debt with conversion and other options, we separately account for the liability and equity components of our Convertible Notes by allocating the proceeds between the liability component and the embedded conversion option (the “Equity Component”) due to our ability to settle the Convertible Notes in cash, common stock or a combination of cash and common stock, at our option. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature. The allocation was performed in a manner that reflected our non-convertible debt borrowing rate for similar debt. The Equity Component of the Convertible Notes was recognized as a debt discount and represents the difference between the proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes and the fair value of the liability of the Convertible Notes on their respective dates of issuance. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (the “Debt Discount”) is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The Equity Component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification.
2022 Convertible Notes
In the second quarter of 2017, we issued $320.0 million aggregate principal amount of convertible senior notes due in 2022 and received net proceeds of $310.4 million from the sale of the 2022 Convertible Notes, after deducting fees and expenses of $9.6 million. The approximately $9.6 million of debt issuance costs primarily consisted of underwriting, legal and other professional fees, and allocated these costs to the liability and equity components based on the allocation of the proceeds. Of the total $9.6 million of debt issuance costs, $2.2 million was allocated to the Equity Component and recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital and $7.4 million was allocated to the liability component and is now recorded as a reduction of the 2022 Convertible Notes in our consolidated balance sheet. The portion allocated to the liability component is amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years.
The 2022 Convertible Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture between us, as issuer, and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as the trustee. The 2022 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2017. The 2022 Convertible Notes will mature on June 1, 2022, unless earlier repurchased or converted. Upon conversion of the 2022 Convertible Notes, such 2022 Convertible Notes will be convertible into, at our election, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, at a conversion rate of 36.5464 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $27.36 per share of our common stock.
The conversion rate is subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of stock dividends and payment of cash dividends. At any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding March 1, 2022, holders may convert their 2022 Convertible Notes at their option only under the following circumstances:
1)
during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter) commencing after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2017, if the last reported sale price of our common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
2)
during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or
3)
upon the occurrence of specified corporate events.

128




On or after March 1, 2022, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or any portion of their 2022 Convertible Notes, in multiples of $1,000 principal amount, at the option of the holder regardless of the foregoing circumstances. The 2022 Convertible Notes were not convertible as of December 31, 2019.
We determined the expected life of the debt was equal to the five-year term on the 2022 Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate on the liability component was 9.49% for the period from the date of issuance through December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, the “if-converted value” did not exceed the remaining principal amount of the 2022 Convertible Notes.
2019 Convertible Notes
In February 2014, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2019 Convertible Notes. We received net proceeds of $193.3 million from the sale of the 2019 Convertible Notes, after deducting fees and expenses of $6.7 million. We used $14.1 million of the net proceeds from the sale of the 2019 Convertible Notes to pay the cost of the convertible bond hedges, as described below (after such cost was partially offset by the proceeds to us from the sale of warrants in the warrant transactions described below). The 2019 Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and bear interest at a rate of 2.5% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year.
In 2017, we entered into two privately negotiated transactions with certain investors to repurchase approximately $178.5 million aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $192.7 million, including accrued interest. Pursuant to ASC Topic 470, Debt (“ASC 470”), we concluded that the 2017 repurchases of 2019 Convertible Notes should be accounted for as extinguishments and we recorded a net debt extinguishment loss of $0.1 million related to the difference between the consideration paid, the fair value of the liability component and carrying values at the repurchase date. The remaining $21.4 million of 2019 Convertible Notes matured on February 15, 2019 and were settled with cash.

Convertible Bond Hedge and Warrant Transactions
In February 2014 we entered into convertible bond hedge transactions and separate warrant transactions of our common stock underlying the aggregate principal amount of the 2019 Convertible Notes with certain financial institutions (the “call spread counterparties”). In connection with our 2017 repurchases of the 2019 Convertible Notes, as discussed above, we entered into agreements with the call spread counterparties to terminate a portion of the then existing convertible bond hedge transactions in an amount corresponding to the amount of such 2019 Convertible Notes repurchased and to terminate a portion of the then-existing warrant transactions. In February 2019, the 2019 Convertible Notes were settled with cash and the remaining bond hedge and warrant transactions expired.
2023 Senior Notes
In August 2015, in connection with the CBR acquisition, we completed a private placement of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Senior Notes”). The 2023 Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated as of August 17, 2015 (the “Indenture”), by and among us, certain of our subsidiaries acting as guarantors of the 2023 Senior Notes and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. In October 2017, we repurchased $25.0 million of the 2023 Senior Notes in a privately negotiated transaction, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.1 million. In September 2018, we repurchased the remaining $475.0 million of the 2023 Senior Notes at a premium of $28.1 million using the proceeds from the CBR sale, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $35.9 million, inclusive of the premium paid.
2015 Term Loan Facility
In August 2015, we entered into a credit agreement with a group of lenders, including Jefferies Finance LLC as administrative and collateral agent, that provided us with, among other things, a six-year $350.0 million term loan facility,

129




under which we borrowed the full amount (the “2015 Term Loan Facility”). In May 2017, we repaid the remaining outstanding borrowings and accrued interest of the 2015 Term Loan Facility and, in accordance with ASC 470, recognized a $9.7 million loss on debt extinguishment.
Future Payments
Future annual principal payments on our long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 include $320.0 million due during the year ended December 31, 2022.

S.     RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES
In February 2019, we completed a restructuring to combine our women’s health and maternal health sales forces into one integrated sales team. Approximately 110 employees were displaced through this workforce reduction. We recorded one-time restructuring charges of $7.4 million primarily related to severance and related benefits on our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. We expect the restructuring charges incurred to date under this program to be substantially paid in cash by the end of the first quarter of 2020.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we have established a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets other than refundable AMT credits. At December 31, 2017, our valuation allowance related primarily to certain of our state NOL and credit carryforwards.

V.     RECENTLY ISSUED AND PROPOSED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
W.     RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASC 842”). This standard requires an entity to recognize on its balance sheet assets and liabilities associated with the rights and obligations created by leases with terms greater than twelve months. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019. We chose to apply the provisions of ASC 842 as of the effective date with no restatement of prior periods or cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. Upon adoption, we elected to utilize the package of transition practical expedients, which allowed us to carry forward prior conclusions related to whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and initial direct costs for existing leases. We also made accounting policy elections to not separate lease and non-lease components for our real estate lease and to not recognize leases with an initial term of twelve months or less within our condensed consolidated balance sheets and to recognize those lease payments on a straight-line basis on our condensed consolidated statements of income over the lease term.
In preparation for adoption of the standard, we implemented internal controls to enable the preparation of the related financial information. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease liabilities of $8.5 million and related ROU assets of $7.6 million on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 1, 2019, but did not have an impact on our consolidated statements of operations.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606 (“ASU 2018-18”). This standard clarifies that certain transactions between participants in a collaborative arrangement should be accounted for under ASC 606 when the counterparty is a customer. In

132




addition, ASU 2018-18 precludes an entity from presenting consideration from a transaction in a collaborative arrangement as revenue from contracts with customers if the counterparty is not a customer for that transaction. We adopted ASU 2018-18 during the first quarter of 2019 and applied the provisions of this update retrospectively to all contracts that were not completed as of the date of our initial adoption of ASC 606. The adoption of ASU 2018-18 did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). The new standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-09 during the first quarter of 2017 and will now record all excess tax benefits and deficiencies related to share-based compensation in our condensed consolidated statements of operations as discrete events in the interim reporting period in which the benefit or deficiency occurs. Such benefits and deficiencies will not be considered in the calculation of our annual estimated effective tax rate. Any excess tax benefits that were not previously recognized because the related tax deduction had not reduced current taxes payable (i.e. was not realized) are to be recorded using a modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period in which the new guidance is adopted. We recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment to our accumulated deficit from previously unrecognized excess tax benefits of $21.6 million during the first quarter of 2017. Lastly, we will continue to use the current method of estimated forfeitures each period rather than accounting for forfeitures as they occur.

Exhibit 4.8
Description of the Registrant’s Securities Registered Pursuant to
Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
The summary of the general terms and provisions of the registered securities of AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“AMAG,” “we,” or “our”) set forth below does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (our “certificate of incorporation”) and our Amended and Restated By-laws (our “by-laws” and, together with our certificate of incorporation, our “Charter Documents”), each of which is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We encourage you to read our Charter Documents and the applicable provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) for additional information.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 117,500,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Common Stock

Only our common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Dividends

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding shares of preferred stock and to the extent permitted by the Charter Documents, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose. If a dividend is declared, it will be distributed pro rata to common stockholders on a per share basis.

Voting

Under the provisions of our certificate of incorporation, holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such holder on any matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide cumulative voting rights to holders of our common stock. The approval of corporate actions may also require the approval of the holders of any series of our preferred stock; however, our common stock will be the only type of capital stock entitled to vote in the election and removal of directors and other matters presented to our stockholders from time to time, unless we issue voting preferred stock or our certificate of incorporation or the law requires otherwise.

Our by-laws provide that, except as required by law or our Charter Documents, all matters will be decided by the vote of the majority of the votes properly cast for such matter.

Other Rights

In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets and funds available for distribution to common stockholders, subject to the prior distribution rights of preferred stock then outstanding. Holders of common stock have no preemptive,




conversion or subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. We may issue additional shares of common stock, if authorized by our board of directors, without the common stockholders’ approval, unless required by Delaware law or the stock exchange on which our securities are traded. The issuance of additional shares could have the effect of diluting any earnings per share and the book value per share of outstanding shares of common stock. If we receive the appropriate payment, shares of common stock that we issue will be fully paid and nonassessable.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority, without further action by our stockholders, to designate and issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Our board of directors may also designate the rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of each such series of preferred stock, any or all of which may be greater than or senior to those granted to the holders of common stock. Though the actual effect of any such issuance on the rights of the holders of common stock will not be known until such time as our board of directors determines the specific rights of the holders of preferred stock, the potential effects of such an issuance include:

diluting the voting power of the holders of common stock;

reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive dividend payments;

reducing the likelihood that holders of common stock will receive payments in the event of our liquidation, dissolution, or winding up; and

delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control or other corporate takeover.

No shares of preferred stock are outstanding as of the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K with which this Exhibit 4.8 is filed as an exhibit.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and Provisions of our Charter Documents

Certain provisions of the DGCL and our Charter Documents contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring or discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed in part to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the advantages gained by protecting our ability to negotiate with any unsolicited and potentially unfriendly acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging such proposals, including those priced above the then-current market value of our common stock, because, among other reasons, the negotiation of such proposals could improve their terms.

Charter Document Provisions

Our Charter Documents include a number of provisions that could deter hostile takeovers or delay or prevent changes in control of our board of directors or management team, including the following:

the ability of our Board to increase or decrease the size of the Board without stockholder approval;





advance notice requirements for the nomination of candidates for election to our Board and for proposals to be brought before our annual meeting of stockholders;

authorization of our Board to designate the terms of and issue new series of preferred stock without stockholder approval;

non-cumulative voting for directors;

establish that our board of directors is divided into three classes—Class I, Class II and Class III—with each class serving staggered terms; and

limitations on the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings of stockholders.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

We are subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL regulating corporate takeovers. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder unless:

prior to the date of the transaction, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding, but not for determining the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder, (1) shares owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) shares owned by employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

at or subsequent to the date of the transaction, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a business combination includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. We expect the existence of this provision to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance. We also anticipate that Section 203 of the DGCL may discourage business combinations or other attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.

The provisions of Delaware law and our Charter Documents could have the effect of discouraging others from attempting hostile takeovers and, as a consequence, may also inhibit temporary fluctuations in the




market price of our common stock that often result from actual or rumored hostile takeover attempts. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Page 1 of 1



Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Company; (ii) subject to the Company’s approval, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the Shares attested to.
(b)    The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Company with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Company as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
(d)    Without derogating from the foregoing, “statutory option stock” (as defined below) may be tendered in payment of the exercise price of this Stock Option even if the

Page 2 of 2



stock to be so tendered has not, at the time of tender, been held by the Optionee for the applicable minimum statutory holding period required to receive the tax benefits afforded under Section 421(a) of the Code with respect to such stock. The Optionee acknowledges that the tender of such “statutory option stock” may have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee. As used above, the term “statutory option stock” means stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option or an option granted under an employee stock purchase plan. The tender of statutory option stock in payment of the exercise price of this Option shall be accompanied by written representation (in form satisfactory to the Company) stating whether such stock has been held by the Optionee for the applicable minimum statutory holding period.
3.    Termination of Business Relationship.
(a)    If the Optionee’s Business Relationship (as defined below) is terminated, the period within which to exercise the Stock Option may be subject to earlier termination as follows:
(i)    If the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated by reason of the Optionee’s death or disability (as determined by the Company) or, if the Optionee dies or becomes disabled within the three-month period following the date the Optionee’s Business Relationship terminates for any other reason, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on the date of termination, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on such date, for a period of twelve months from the date of death or disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(ii)    If the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated for any reason other than death or disability, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee, prior to the termination date of this Stock Option, (i) violates any provision of any employment agreement or any confidentiality or other agreement between the Optionee and the Company, (ii) commits any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (iii) attempts to commit, or participate in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company, or (iv) commits gross misconduct, the right to exercise this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Optionee from the Company describing such violation or act.
The Company’s determination of the reason for termination of the Optionee’s Business Relationship shall be conclusive and binding on the Optionee and his or her representatives or legatees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances set forth in the Employment Agreement dated as of [ ] by and between the Company and the Optionee (the

Page 3 of 3



“Employment Agreement”), and subject to compliance by the Optionee with the requirements of the Employment Agreement related to such circumstances, the vesting of the unvested portion of this Stock Option may be accelerated as provided in and subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement.
For purposes hereof, “Business Relationship” means service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or its or their successors, in the capacity of an employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor. For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall not be considered as having terminated during any military leave, sick leave, or other leave of absence if approved in writing by the Company and if such written approval, or applicable law, contractually obligates the Company to continue the Business Relationship of the Optionee after the approved period of absence (an “Approved Leave of Absence”). For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall include a consulting arrangement between the Optionee and the Company that immediately follows termination of employment, but only if so stated in a written consulting agreement executed by the Company.
4.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
5.    Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Stock Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) may be deemed to be a nonqualified stock option as a result of such transfer.
6.    Status of the Stock Option. This Stock Option is intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code, but the Company does not represent or warrant that this Stock Option qualifies as such. The Optionee should consult with his or her own tax advisors regarding the tax effects of this Stock Option and the requirements necessary to obtain favorable income tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code, including, but not limited to, holding period requirements. To the extent any portion of this Stock Option does not so qualify as an “incentive stock option,” such portion shall be deemed to be a non-qualified stock option. If the Optionee intends to dispose or does dispose (whether by sale, gift, transfer or otherwise) of any Option Shares within the one-year period beginning on the date after the transfer of such shares to him or her, or within the two-year period beginning on the day after the grant of this Stock Option, he or she will so notify the Company within 30 days after such disposition.
7.    Tax Withholding. The Optionee shall, not later than the date as of which the exercise of this Stock Option becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of any Federal,

Page 4 of 4



state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall have the authority to cause the required tax withholding obligation to be satisfied, in whole or in part, by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Optionee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum tax rate, or such lesser amount as determined by the Administrator.
8.    No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee’s Business Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Business Relationship of the Optionee at any time.
9.    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
10.    Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Agreement, the Optionee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Optionee may have with respect to the Relevant Information; (iii) authorizes the Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction in which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate. The Optionee shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.
11.    Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business to the attention of the Company’s Treasurer and shall be mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

2.    Manner of Exercise.
(a)    The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option, the Optionee may give written or electronic notice to the Company to the attention of the Company’s Treasurer or his or her designee of his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Company; (ii) subject to the Company’s approval, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.
The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

(b)    The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Company with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Company as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee.

(d)    Without derogating from the foregoing, “statutory option stock” (as defined below) may be tendered in payment of the exercise price of this Stock Option even if the stock to be so tendered has not, at the time of tender, been held by the Optionee for the applicable minimum statutory holding period required to receive the tax benefits afforded under Section 421(a) of the Code with respect to such stock. The Optionee acknowledges that the tender of such “statutory option stock” may have adverse tax consequences to the Optionee. As used above, the term “statutory option stock” means stock acquired through the exercise of an incentive stock option or an option granted under an employee stock purchase plan. The tender of statutory option stock in payment of the exercise price of this Option shall be accompanied by written representation (in form satisfactory to the Company) stating whether such stock has been held by the Optionee for the applicable minimum statutory holding period.

Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(ii)    If the Optionee’s Business Relationship is terminated for any reason other than death or disability, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination, for a period of three months from the date of termination or until the Expiration Date, if earlier.

due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum tax rate, or such lesser amount as determined by the Administrator.
7.    No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Optionee’s Business Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Business Relationship of the Optionee at any time.

This Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee, and any shares of Stock issuable with respect to the Award may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until (i) the Restricted Stock Units have vested as provided in Section 2 of this Agreement and (ii) shares of Stock have been issued to the Grantee in accordance with the terms of the Plan and this Agreement.
2.    Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. The restrictions and conditions of Section 1 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Grantee remains in a Business Relationship (as defined in Section 3 below) on such Dates.

The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Section 2.
3.    Termination of Business Relationship.
(a)    If the Grantee’s Business Relationship terminates for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in

Page 1 of 1



Section 2 above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Restricted Stock Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under certain circumstances set forth in the Employment Agreement dated as of [ ] by and between the Company and the Grantee (the “Employment Agreement”), and subject to compliance by the Grantee with the requirements of the Employment Agreement related to such circumstances, the vesting of unvested Restricted Stock Units may be accelerated as provided in and subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement.
(b)     “Business Relationship” means service to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or its or their successors, in the capacity of an employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor. For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall not be considered as having terminated during any military leave, sick leave, or other leave of absence if approved in writing by the Company and if such written approval, or applicable law, contractually obligates the Company to continue the Business Relationship of the Grantee after the approved period of absence (an “Approved Leave of Absence”). For purposes hereof, a Business Relationship shall include a consulting arrangement between the Grantee and the Company that immediately follows termination of employment, but only if so stated in a written consulting agreement executed by the Company.

As soon as practicable following each Vesting Date (but in no event later than two and one-half months after the end of the year in which the Vesting Date occurs), the Company shall issue to the Grantee the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement on such date and the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
5.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

The Grantee shall, not later than the date as of which the receipt of this Award becomes a taxable event for Federal income tax purposes, pay to the Company or make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of any Federal, state, and local taxes required by law to be withheld on account of such taxable event. The Company shall satisfy the required tax withholding obligation by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued to the Grantee a number of shares of Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided, however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum tax rate. In addition, by acceptance of this Award, the Grantee agrees that for all outstanding restricted stock unit awards of the Company that the Grantee holds that have not yet vested, the Company shall satisfy any required tax withholding obligation by withholding from shares of Stock to be issued under such awards a number of shares of Stock with an

Page 2 of 2



aggregate Fair Market Value that would satisfy the withholding amount due; provided however, that the amount withheld does not exceed the maximum tax rate.
7.    Section 409A of the Code. This Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner that all provisions relating to the settlement of the Award are exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as “short-term deferrals” as described in Section 409A of the Code.
8.    No Obligation to Continue Business Relationship. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is obligated by or as a result of the Plan or this Agreement to continue the Grantee’s Business Relationship, and neither the Plan nor this Agreement shall interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the Business Relationship of the Grantee at any time.
9.    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Award and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
10.    Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”).

Pursuant to the AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Once exercisable, this Stock Option shall continue to be exercisable at any time or times prior to the close of business on the Expiration Date, subject to the provisions hereof and of the Plan.
“Business Relationship” means service to the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer, director, consultant, or advisor.
2.    Manner of Exercise.
(a)    The Optionee may exercise this Stock Option only in the following manner: from time to time on or prior to the Expiration Date of this Stock Option, the Optionee may give written or electronic notice to the Company to the attention of the Company’s Treasurer or his or her designee of his or her election to purchase some or all of the Option Shares purchasable at the time of such notice. This notice shall specify the number of Option Shares to be purchased.
Payment of the purchase price for the Option Shares may be made by one or more of the following methods: (i) in cash, by certified or bank check or other instrument acceptable to the Company; (ii) subject to the Company’s approval, through the delivery (or attestation to the ownership) of shares of Stock that have been purchased by the Optionee on the open market or that are beneficially owned by the Optionee and are not then subject to any restrictions under any Company plan and that otherwise satisfy any holding periods as may be required by the Administrator; (iii) by the Optionee delivering to the Company a properly executed exercise notice together with irrevocable instructions to a broker to promptly deliver to the Company cash or a check payable and acceptable to the Company to pay the option purchase price, provided that in the event the Optionee chooses to pay the option purchase price as so provided, the Optionee and the broker shall comply with such procedures and enter into such agreements of indemnity and other agreements as the Company shall prescribe as a condition of such payment procedure; or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii) above. Payment instruments will be received subject to collection.

Page 2 of 2



The transfer to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent of the Option Shares will be contingent upon (i) the Company’s receipt from the Optionee of the full purchase price for the Option Shares, as set forth above, (ii) the fulfillment of any other requirements contained herein or in the Plan or in any other agreement or provision of laws, and (iii) the receipt by the Company of any agreement, statement or other evidence that the Company may require to satisfy itself that the issuance of Stock to be purchased pursuant to the exercise of Stock Options under the Plan and any subsequent resale of the shares of Stock will be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In the event the Optionee chooses to pay the purchase price by previously-owned shares of Stock through the attestation method, the number of shares of Stock transferred to the Optionee upon the exercise of the Stock Option shall be net of the Shares attested to.
(b)    The shares of Stock purchased upon exercise of this Stock Option shall be transferred to the Optionee on the records of the Company or of the transfer agent upon compliance to the satisfaction of the Company with all requirements under applicable laws or regulations in connection with such transfer and with the requirements hereof and of the Plan. The determination of the Company as to such compliance shall be final and binding on the Optionee. The Optionee shall not be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares of Stock subject to this Stock Option unless and until this Stock Option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company or the transfer agent shall have transferred the shares to the Optionee, and the Optionee’s name shall have been entered as the stockholder of record on the books of the Company. Thereupon, the Optionee shall have full voting, dividend and other ownership rights with respect to such shares of Stock.
(c)    Notwithstanding any other provision hereof or of the Plan, no portion of this Stock Option shall be exercisable after the Expiration Date hereof.
3.    Termination of Business Relationship.
(a)    If the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company, the period within which to exercise the Stock Option may be subject to earlier termination as follows:
(i)    If the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company by reason of the Optionee’s death or disability (as determined by the Company) or, if the Optionee dies or becomes disabled within the three-month period following the date the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company, any portion of this Stock Option outstanding on the date the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company, may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on such date, for a period of three years from the date of death or disability or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(ii)    If the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company for any reason other than death or disability, any portion of this Stock Option

Page 3 of 3



outstanding on such date may be exercised, to the extent exercisable on such date, for a period of three years from the date the Optionee ceased to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company or until the Expiration Date, if earlier. Any portion of this Stock Option that is not exercisable on the date the Optionee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company shall terminate immediately and be of no further force or effect.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Optionee, prior to the termination date of this Stock Option, (i) violates any provision of any confidentiality, consulting or other agreement between the Optionee and the Company, (ii) commits any felony or any crime involving moral turpitude under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, (iii) attempts to commit, or participate in, a fraud or act of dishonesty against the Company, or (iv) commits gross misconduct, the right to exercise this Stock Option shall terminate immediately upon written notice to the Optionee from the Company describing such violation or act.
4.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Stock Option shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.
5.    Transferability. This Agreement is personal to the Optionee, is non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. This Stock Option is exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee, and thereafter, only by the Optionee’s legal representative or legatee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Stock Option may be transferred pursuant to a domestic relations order.
6.    No Obligation to Continue Service. Neither the Plan nor this Stock Option confers upon the Optionee any rights with respect to continued service as a member of the Board or to the Company.
7.    Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to this Stock Option and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions between the parties concerning such subject matter.
8.    Data Privacy Consent. In order to administer the Plan and this Agreement and to implement or structure future equity grants, the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates and certain agents thereof (together, the “Relevant Companies”) may process any and all personal or professional data, including but not limited to Social Security or other identification number, home address and telephone number, date of birth and other information that is necessary or desirable for the administration of the Plan and/or this Agreement (the “Relevant Information”). By entering into this Agreement, the Optionee (i) authorizes the Company to collect, process, register and transfer to the Relevant Companies all Relevant Information; (ii) waives any privacy rights the Optionee may have with respect to the Relevant Information; (iii) authorizes the

Page 4 of 4



Relevant Companies to store and transmit such information in electronic form; and (iv) authorizes the transfer of the Relevant Information to any jurisdiction in which the Relevant Companies consider appropriate. The Optionee shall have access to, and the right to change, the Relevant Information. Relevant Information will only be used in accordance with applicable law.
9.    Notices. Notices hereunder shall be mailed or delivered to the Company at its principal place of business to the attention of the Company’s Treasurer and shall be mailed or delivered to the Optionee at the address on file with the Company or, in either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the other party in writing.

The Administrator may at any time accelerate the vesting schedule specified in this Section 2.
“Business Relationship” means service to the Company or its successor in the capacity of an employee, officer, director, consultant, or advisor.
3.    Termination of Business Relationship. If the Grantee ceases to maintain a Business Relationship with the Company for any reason (including death or disability) prior to the satisfaction of the vesting conditions set forth in Section 2 above, any Restricted Stock Units that have not vested as of such date shall automatically and without notice terminate and be forfeited, and neither the Grantee nor any of his or her successors, heirs, assigns, or personal representatives will thereafter have any further rights or interests in such unvested Restricted Stock Units.
4.    Issuance of Shares of Stock. The Company shall issue to the Grantee, on the earlier of (a) the first anniversary of the Grant Date or (b) as soon as practicable (but not later than 90 days) following the date of termination of the Grantee’s service, provided that such termination constitutes a “separation from service” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h), (in either case, the “Delivery Date”), the number of shares of Stock equal to the aggregate number of Restricted Stock Units that have vested pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, provided, however, that the Grantee acknowledges that the exact date of issuance of the shares shall be at the sole and exclusive discretion of the Company in accordance with this Section 4. The form of such issuance (e.g., a stock certificate or electronic entry evidencing such shares) shall be determined by the Company. Upon such issuance, the Grantee shall thereafter have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to such shares.
5.    Incorporation of Plan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all the terms and conditions of the Plan, including the powers of the Administrator set forth in Section 2(b) of the Plan. Capitalized terms in this

To the extent that any provision of this Award is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments and provisions hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of the Grantee’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company determines that the Grantee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent the shares of Stock that the Grantee becomes entitled to receive under this Agreement on account of the Grantee’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such shares of Stock shall not be issued until the date that is the earlier of (a) six months and one day after the Grantee’s separation from service, or (b) the Grantee’s death. The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h).

9.    Data Privacy Consent.

You shall devote substantially all of your full business time and best efforts to the performance of your duties hereunder and the business and affairs of the Company and will not undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise; provided, however, that you may participate as a member of the board of directors or advisory board of other entities and in professional organizations and civic and charitable organizations; provided further, that any such positions are disclosed to and approved in writing by the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Board or the Audit Committee thereof and do not materially interfere with your duties and responsibilities to the Company. You shall be based in the Company’s principal offices, which currently are in Waltham, Massachusetts.
2.    Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for a three (3) year period commencing on the Effective Date unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 4 below (the “Initial Term”). The term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional three-year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) following the Initial Term and any Renewal Term unless either party provides written notice to the other party at least sixty (60) days before the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable, that it does not desire to renew this Agreement,

1


Exhibit 10.20

in which case this Agreement shall expire at the end of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as applicable. The Initial Term and any Renewal Term are referred to herein collectively as the “Term.”
3.    Compensation and Benefits. The Company shall pay you the following compensation and benefits for all services rendered by you under this Agreement (subject to any tax withholdings required by law):
(a)    Base Salary. The Company will pay you a base salary at the annualized rate of $[Base Salary] (“Base Salary”), minus withholdings as required by law and other deductions authorized by you, which amount shall be paid in equal installments at the Company’s regular payroll intervals, but not less often than monthly. Your base salary may be increased annually by the Board or the Compensation Committee in their sole discretion.
(b)    Bonus. You will be eligible to receive an annual performance bonus (the “Annual Bonus”) of [Bonus Percentage]% of Base Salary for each fiscal year during the Term of this Agreement, based on the extent to which, in the discretion of the Board or the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and/or your supervisor you achieve or exceed specific and measurable individual and Company performance objectives established by the Board or the Compensation Committee in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and/or your supervisor and communicated to you in advance. The exact amount of the bonus for any year during the Term shall be determined by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion and may be more than the target bonus in the event you exceed all of your personal and Company performance objectives or less than the target bonus if you do not achieve all of your personal and Company performance objectives. The Company shall pay the Annual Bonus no later than two and a half months after the end of the fiscal year to which the applicable bonus relates. Unless otherwise provided herein, no bonus shall be deemed to have been earned by you for any year in which you are not actively employed by the Company on the last day of the fiscal year to which the bonus relates.

(f)    Business Expenses. The Company will reimburse you for all reasonable and usual business expenses incurred by you in the performance of your duties hereunder in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy.
4.    Termination. Your employment with the Company may be terminated prior to the expiration of the Term as follows:
(a)    Death. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon your death.
(b)    Disability. The Company may terminate your employment in accordance with applicable laws in the event that you shall be prevented, by illness, accident, disability or any other physical or mental condition (to be determined by means of a written opinion of a competent medical doctor chosen by mutual agreement of the Company and you or your personal representative(s)) from substantially performing your duties and responsibilities hereunder for one or more periods totaling one hundred and twenty (120) days in any twelve (12) month period.
(c)    By the Company for Cause. The Company may terminate your employment for “Cause” upon written notice to you. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean any of: (i) fraud, embezzlement or theft against the Company or any of its affiliates; (ii) you are convicted of, or plead guilty or no contest to, a felony; (iii) willful nonperformance by you (other than by reason of illness) of your material duties hereunder and failure to remedy such nonperformance within ten (10) business days following written notice from the Chief Executive Officer, the Board and/or your supervisor identifying the nonperformance and the actions required to cure it; or (iv) you commit an act of gross negligence, engage in willful misconduct or otherwise act with willful disregard for the Company’s best interests, and you fail to remedy such conduct within ten (10) business days following written notice from the Chief Executive Officer, the Board and/or your supervisor identifying the gross negligence, willful misconduct or willful, disregard and the actions required to cure it (if such conduct can be cured).
(d)    By the Company Other Than For Death, Disability or Cause. The Company may terminate your employment other than for Cause, disability or death upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to you.
(e)    By You For Good Reason or Any Reason. You may terminate your employment at any time without Good Reason upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company and with Good Reason as described in this Section 4(e). For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean that any of the following occurs without your prior written consent: (i) a material adverse change in your title, position, duties or responsibilities; (ii) a material reduction by the Company in your Base Salary or your target Annual Bonus opportunity in the total annual amount that you are then eligible to receive, unless such reduction is in connection with a proportionate reduction of compensation applicable to all other executive

Exhibit 10.20

officers; (iii) any relocation of your principal place of business to a location more than 50 miles from the Company’s current executive offices in Waltham, MA; provided, however, that this clause (iii) will not apply to the extent that any new office location is less than 50 miles from your residence; or (iv) a material breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement. Before you may resign for Good Reason, (A) you must provide written notice to the Company describing the event, condition or conduct giving rise to Good Reason within 30 days of the initial occurrence of the event, condition or conduct; (B) the Company must fail to remedy or cure the alleged Good Reason within the 30 day period after receipt of such notice; and (C) you must resign effective not later than 30 days after the end of the cure period.
5.    Payment Upon Termination. In the event that your employment with the Company terminates, you will be paid the following (subject to any tax withholdings required by law):
(a)    Termination for Any Reason. In the event that your employment terminates for any reason, the Company shall pay you for the following items that were earned and accrued but unpaid as of the date of your termination: (i) your Base Salary; (ii) a cash payment for all accrued, unused vacation calculated at your then Base Salary rate; (iii) reimbursement for any unpaid business expenses; and (iv) such other benefits and payments to which you may be entitled by law or pursuant to the benefit plans of the Company then in effect. In addition, if your employment terminates due to your death, the Board or the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer and/or your supervisor, shall determine the extent to which any of the individual performance objectives established pursuant to Section 3(b) above were met as of the time of your death. If, based on that determination, the Board or the Compensation Committee determines that a bonus is due, the Company shall pay your estate an amount equal to such bonus, pro-rated for the portion of the fiscal year elapsed as of the time of your death.
(b)    Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 5(a), in the event that (i) the Company terminates your employment other than for death, disability or Cause pursuant to Section 4(d) or you terminate your employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e); (ii) you comply fully with all of your obligations under all agreements between the Company and you; and (iii) you execute, deliver to the Company, within 60 days of the termination of your employment, and do not revoke a general release (in a form acceptable to the Company) releasing and waiving any and all claims that you have or may have against the Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns with respect to your employment (other than any obligation of the Company set forth herein which specifically survives the termination of your employment), then (A) the Company will provide you with 12 months of severance pay based on your then current Base Salary, (B) subject to your copayment of premium amounts at the active employees’ rate and your proper election to receive benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), the Company will pay a portion of your COBRA premiums in an amount equal to what it would have paid towards health insurance premiums for an active employee with similar coverage continuing until the earlier of (I) twelve (12) months minus one day from the Effective Date; and (II) the date you become reemployed or

4


Exhibit 10.20

eligible for alternative health insurance, (C) the Company shall provide you with the right to continue group medical and dental insurance coverage after the Effective Date under the law known as “COBRA” (the terms for that opportunity will be set forth in a separate written notice), and (D) all time-based stock options and other time-based equity awards you hold in which you would have vested if you had been employed for an additional 12 months following the date of the termination of your employment shall vest and become exercisable or nonforfeitable on the date that the release referred to above may no longer be revoked. The foregoing severance shall be paid in equal installments over the severance period in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll schedule, commencing on the date that the release referred to above may no longer be revoked. This Section 5(b) shall not apply during the one year period following a Change of Control (as defined below) in which case Section 5(c) shall apply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any of the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 5(b) constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (as defined below) and, the sixty (60) day period in which you must execute the release begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 5(b) shall commence, be made or become effective in the later calendar year.
(c)    Change of Control. In the event that (i) within one year from the date a Change of Control (as defined below) of the Company occurs, the Company (for purposes of this Section, such term to include its successor) terminates your employment other than for death, disability or Cause pursuant to Section 4(d) or you terminate your employment for Good Reason pursuant to Section 4(e); (ii) you comply fully with all of your obligations under all agreements between the Company and you; and (iii) within 60 days of termination of your employment you execute and deliver to the Company and do not revoke a general release (in a form acceptable to the Company) releasing and waiving any and all claims that you have or may have against the Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns with respect to your employment (other than any obligation of the Company set forth herein which specifically survives the termination of your employment), then:
the Company will pay you 12 months of severance pay based on your then current Base Salary, with such severance to be paid in equal installments over the severance period in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll schedule, commencing on the date that the release referred to above may no longer be revoked;
the Company will pay you, on the first payroll date after the revocation period of the release set forth above expires, in a lump sum, one times your target annual bonus amount for the year in which the Change of Control occurs;
the Company will pay or reimburse you for the premiums for continued coverage for you and your eligible dependents in the same amounts and for the same coverage in effect immediately prior to your termination from employment, under the Company’s group health and dental plans until the earlier of: (i) 24 months from the date of termination of your employment; or (ii) the date you are provided with health and dental coverage by another employer’s health and dental plan (and, for purposes of clarity, if the Company is unable to extend coverage to you under its group health and

5


Exhibit 10.20

dental plans due to your termination from active employment status, then, to receive this benefit, you must elect continuation coverage under COBRA and/or purchase an individual insurance policy, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay or reimburse insurance premiums or otherwise provide coverage if you fail to elect COBRA or obtain an individual policy); and
all time-based, unvested outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and other equity incentives that were granted to you before the Change of Control occurred shall, without further action, become vested in full on the date that the release referred to above may no longer be revoked.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” shall mean the first to occur of any of the following: (a) any “person” or “group” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) becomes the beneficial owner of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities with respect to the election of the Board; (b) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company, other than a transaction in which the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction hold immediately thereafter in the same proportion as immediately prior to the transaction not less than 50% of the combined voting power of the then, voting securities with respect to the election of the Board of Directors of the resulting entity; (c) any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or (d) any other acquisition by a third party of all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, as determined by the Board, in its sole discretion. The payments, benefits and acceleration of vesting of stock options, restricted stock units and other equity incentives provided in this Section 5(c) shall override and replace with respect to you any Company wide policy with respect to payments, benefits and/or acceleration of vesting upon a Change of Control. After the one year period following a Change of Control, this Section 5(c) shall no longer apply, and Section 5(b) shall continue to apply.
In the event that upon a Change of Control, the Company or the successor to or acquiror of the Company’s business (whether by sale of outstanding stock, merger, sale of substantially all the assets or otherwise) elects not to assume all the then unvested outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and other equity incentives that were granted to you before the Change of Control occurred, such securities shall immediately without further action become vested in full effective no later than the effective date of the Change of Control and you shall receive the value of such stock options, restricted stock units and other equity incentives as provided in the applicable acquisition agreement (or if no such provision is made, in the applicable equity incentive plan).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any of the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 5(c) constitute non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A and the sixty (60) day period in which you must execute the release begins in one calendar year and ends in another, the payments and benefits provided for in this Section 5(c) shall commence, be made or become effective in the later calendar year.
(d)    Death/Disability. In addition to the payments provided for in Section 5(a), in the event of your death or the termination of your employment, due to your disability in

6


Exhibit 10.20

accordance with Section 4(b) above, all unvested outstanding stock options, restricted stock units and other equity incentives that were held by you at the time of your death or termination of employment due to disability shall immediately become fully vested, and exercisable by you or your personal representatives, heirs or legatees, as the case may be, at any time prior to the expiration of one (1) year from the date of your death or disability, but in no event after the expiration of the term of the applicable equity award agreement.
6.    Non-solicitation Covenant; Non-Competition; Injunctive Relief. In order to protect the Company’s confidential information and good will, and in exchange for your employment or continued employment with the Company, the benefits provided by this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, during your employment and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of your employment for any reason (the “Restricted Period”), you will not directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, director, manager, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate or invest in any business activity anywhere in the world that (i) develops, manufactures or markets any (A) hydroxprogesterone caproate therapeutic, (B) intravenous iron replacement therapeutic, (C) mucoadhesive oral wound rinse or other device that is indicated for the management of oral mucositis/stomatitis, or (D) other therapeutic products acquired, in-licensed or Researched or Developed by the Company during the Term, (ii) develops, manufactures or markets any products, or performs any services, that are otherwise competitive with or similar to the products or services of the Company, or products or services that are being Researched or Developed or that are the subject of active planning at any time during your employment (a “Competing Business”); provided that this shall not prohibit any possible investment in publicly traded stock of a company representing less than one percent of the stock of such company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Researched or Developed” shall mean that one of the following is being conducted or has been conducted: (i) pre-clinical research, (ii) clinical research or (iii) regulatory submissions seeking approval for commercialization. In addition, during the Restricted Period, you will not, directly or indirectly, in any manner, other than for the benefit of the Company, (a) call upon, solicit, divert, take away, accept or conduct any business from or with any of the customers or prospective customers of the Company or any of its suppliers, and/or (b) solicit, entice, attempt to persuade any other employee or consultant of the Company to leave the Company for any reason or otherwise participate in or facilitate the hire, directly or through another entity, of any person who is employed or engaged by the Company or who was employed or engaged by the Company within six (6) months of any attempt to hire such person. You acknowledge and agree that if you violate any of the provisions of this Section, the running of the Restricted Period will be extended by the time during which you engage in such violation(s). You acknowledge and agree that if requested by the Company in writing you will promptly confirm in writing any current or planned employment, consulting or investments by you during the Restricted Period. You understand that the restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary for the protection of the business and goodwill of the Company and you consider them to be reasonable for such purpose. Any breach of this Agreement is likely to cause the Company substantial and irrevocable damage and therefore, in the event of such breach, the Company, in addition to such other remedies which may be available, will be entitled to specific performance and other injunctive relief, without the posting of a bond. If you violate this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to the Company at law, in equity, and

7


Exhibit 10.20

under contract, you agree that you are obligated to pay all the Company’s costs of enforcement of this Agreement, including attorneys’ fees and expenses. This Section 6 shall supplement, and shall not limit or be limited by, any other restrictive covenant agreement to which you and the Company are parties or any other restrictive covenant obligations you have to the Company including the AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Nondisclosure, Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Invention Assignment Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit A and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.
7.    Assignment. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of any successor of the Company by reorganization, merger or consolidation and any assignee of all or substantially all of its business and properties. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or benefits hereunder may be assigned by you, except that, upon your death, your earned and unpaid economic benefits will be paid to your heirs or beneficiaries.
8.    Interpretation and Severability. It is the express intent of the parties that (a) in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by limiting and reducing it as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, so as to be enforceable to the fullest extent compatible with applicable law; and (b) in case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement cannot be so limited and reduced and for any reason is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
9.    Notices. Any notice that you or the Company are required to give the other under this Agreement shall be given by personal delivery, recognized overnight, courier service, or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed in your case to you at your last address of record with the Company, or at such other place as you may from time to time designate in writing, and, in the case of the Company, to the Company at its principal office to the attention of the President and Chief Executive Officer, or at such other office as the Company may from time to time designate in writing. The date of actual delivery of any notice under this Section 9 shall be deemed to be the date of receipt thereof.
10.    Waiver. No consent to or waiver of any breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance of any of the same or any other obligations hereunder. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the waiving party.
11.    Complete Agreement; Modification. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any previous oral or written communications, negotiations, representations, understandings, or agreements between them, including the Offer Letter (except as provided in Section 3(c)), provided the Equity Documents and the Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Invention Assignment Agreement shall remain in effect. Any modification of this Agreement shall be effective only if set forth in a written document signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

Exhibit 10.20

12.    Headings. The headings of the Sections hereof are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part, or affect the meaning, of this Agreement.
13.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in two (2) counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and both of which shall together constitute one agreement.
14.    Choice of Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the validity, interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law principles. You hereby consent and submit without limitation to the jurisdiction of courts in Massachusetts in connection with any action arising out of this Agreement, and waive any right to object to any such forum as inconvenient or to object to venue in Massachusetts. You agree that, in any action arising out of this Agreement, you will accept service of process by registered mail or the equivalent directed to your last known address or by such other means permitted by such court.
15.    Advice of Counsel; No Representations. You acknowledge that you have been advised to review this Agreement with your own legal counsel, that prior to entering into this Agreement, you have had the opportunity to review this Agreement with your attorney, and that the Company has not made any representations, warranties, promises or inducements to you concerning the terms, enforceability or implications of this Agreement other than as are contained in this Agreement.
16.    I.R.C. § 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any payments and benefits provided under this Agreement that constitute “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the regulations and other guidance thereunder and any state law of similar effect (collectively, the “Section 409A”) shall not commence in connection with your termination of employment unless and until you have also incurred a “separation from service” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (the “Separation From Service”), unless the Company reasonably determines that such amounts may be provided to you without causing you to incur the additional 20% tax under Section 409A.
It is intended that each installment of severance pay provided for in this Agreement is a separate “payment” for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, it is intended that severance payments set forth in this Agreement satisfy, to the greatest extent possible, the exceptions from the application of Section 409A provided under Treasury Regulation Sections 1.409A-1(b)(4), 1.409A- 1(b)(5), and 1.409A-1(b)(9).
If the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) determines that any payments or benefits constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and you are, on the termination of service, a “specified employee” of the Company or any successor entity thereto, as such term is defined in Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then, solely to the extent necessary to avoid the incurrence of the adverse personal tax consequences under Section 409A, the timing of the payments and benefits shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of: (a) the date that is six months and one day after your Separation From Service, or (b) the date of your death

9


Exhibit 10.20

(such applicable date, the “Specified Employee Initial Payment Date”). On the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date, the Company (or the successor entity thereto, as applicable) shall (i) pay to you a lump sum amount equal to the sum of the payments and benefits that you would otherwise have received through the Specified Employee Initial Payment Date if the commencement of the payment of such amounts had not been so delayed pursuant to this Section and (ii) commence paying the balance of the payments and benefits in accordance with the applicable payment schedules set forth in this Agreement.
17.    Survival. Provisions of this Agreement which by their terms must survive the termination of this Agreement in order to effectuate the intent of the parties will survive any such termination, whether by expiration of the Term, termination of your employment, or otherwise, for such period as may be appropriate under the circumstances. Such provisions include, without limitation, Sections 5 (to the extent severance payments are due under such Section) and 6 of this Agreement.
18.    Excise Tax-Related Provisions. If any payment or benefit you would receive pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement (“Payment”) would (a) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (b) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be adjusted so that it would equal the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (i) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (ii) the total Payment, whichever amount of (i) or (ii), after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in your receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater amount of the Payment notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, any such reduction will occur in a manner necessary to provide you with the greatest post-reduction economic benefit. If more than one manner of reduction of Payments necessary to arrive at the Reduced Amount yields the greatest economic benefit to you, the Payments will be reduced pro rata (the “Pro Rata Reduction Method”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Pro Rata Reduction Method would result in any portion of the Payment being subject to taxes pursuant to Section 409A, then the Pro Rata Reduction Method shall be modified so as to avoid the imposition of taxes pursuant to Section 409A as follows: (A) as a first priority, the modification shall preserve to the greatest extent possible, the greatest economic benefit for you as determined on an after-tax basis; (B) as a second priority, Payments that are contingent on future events (e.g., being terminated without Cause), shall be eliminated before Payments that are not contingent on future events; and (C) as a third priority, Payments that are “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A shall be reduced before Payments that are not “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A.

(9)    Salaries or other compensation paid to employees above the grade of Regional Property Manager except that if any such employee performs a service which would have been performed by an outside consultant, the compensation paid to such employee for performing such service shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Building to the extent only that the cost of such service does not exceed the costs of such service had such service been performed by an outside consultant. Further, if and to the extent an employee performs services at the Building and other properties, such employee’s labor costs shall be reasonably allocated and only the portion reasonably allocable to the Building shall be included in Landlord’s Operating Expenses (nothing contained herein shall affect Landlord’s right to collect the management fee specifically provided for above);

(21) All general corporate overhead of Landlord or any of its agents or affiliates.

To the extent that Landlord owns other buildings in the Office Park, Landlord’s Operating Expenses that relate to the common areas of the Office Park (and not exclusively to the Building or exclusively to any other buildings within the Office Park) shall be reasonably allocated by Landlord among all such buildings in the Office Park.

In addition to the foregoing, if in any calendar year after 2014 Landlord shall provide a
service that was not provided in 2014 and the service in question is consistent with the then prevailing standards for operating and maintaining a first-class office complex, then Base Operating Expenses shall be adjusted to include 50% of the reasonable estimate of

Page 12



the cost of providing such service in calendar year 2014. Further, if in any calendar year after 2014, Landlord shall cease to provide a service that was provided in 2014, then, unless the service in question is consistent with the then-prevailing standards for operating and maintaining a first-class office complex, Base Operating Expense shall be adjusted to exclude the cost of providing such services in calendar year 2014.

Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” shall mean the same proportion of Landlord’s Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Building and the Site as the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises bears to 95% of the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building.

Base Operating Expenses” is hereinbefore defined in Section 1.1. Base Operating Expenses shall not include (i) market-wide cost increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to Force Majeure (as defined in Section 6.1), conservation surcharges, security concerns, boycotts, strikes, embargoes or shortages (“Temporary Cost Increase”); provided, however, that if any item(s) of Temporary Cost Increases shall continue uninterrupted beyond calendar year 2014, then the amount of such Temporary Cost Increase excluded from Base Operating Expenses with respect to such item(s) shall also be excluded from Landlord’s Operating Expenses for and with respect to any such calendar year during which such Temporary Cost Increase continues and (ii) the cost of any Permitted Capital Expenditures; provided, however, that any Permitted Capital Expenditures excluded from Base Operating Expenses shall not be included in Landlord’s Operating Expenses in any subsequent year.

Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” means the same proportion of Base Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Building and the Site as the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises bears to 95% of the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building.

If with respect to any calendar year falling within the Term, or fraction of a calendar year falling within the Term at the beginning or end thereof, the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises for a full calendar year exceed Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a calendar year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises then, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.6.

Not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of each succeeding calendar year during the Term or fraction thereof at the end of the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices certified by a representative of Landlord, showing for the preceding calendar year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises (the “Annual Statement”). The Annual Statement shall also show for the preceding year or fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of operating expenses already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount of operating expenses

Page 13



remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered by such statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.6 with respect to the preceding year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit any amounts due from it to Tenant pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.6 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent next thereafter coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (or refund such portion of the overpayment as aforesaid if the Term has ended, net of any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord).

In addition, Tenant shall make payments monthly on account of Tenant’s share of increases in Landlord’s Operating Expenses anticipated for the then current year at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated annually by Landlord to be sufficient to cover, in the aggregate, a sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases in operating expenses for each calendar year during the Term.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining the amount of Landlord’s Operating Expenses for any calendar year or portion thereof falling within the Lease Term, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during the period in question, then those components of Landlord’s Operating Expenses that vary based on occupancy for such period shall be adjusted to equal the amount such components of Landlord’s Operating Expenses would have been for such period had occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such period.

Subject to the provisions of this Section and provided that no Event of Default of Tenant exists, Tenant shall have the right to examine the correctness of the Landlord’s Operating Expense statement or any item contained therein:

1.    Any request for examination in respect of any “Operating Year” (as defined hereinbelow) may be made by notice from Tenant to Landlord no more than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date (the “Operating Expense Statement Date”) Landlord provides Tenant an Annual Statement for such Operating Year and only if Tenant shall have fully paid such amount. Such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the matters questioned. Any examination must be completed and the results communicated to Landlord no more than ninety (90) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant all books and records reasonably required to perform such examination. “Operating Year” shall mean a period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, commencing on the first day of January in each year, except that the first Operating Year of the Lease Term hereof shall be the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the succeeding December 31, and the last Operating Year of the Lease Term hereof shall be the period commencing on January 1 of the calendar year in which the Lease Term ends, and ending with the date on which the Lease Term ends.


Page 14



2.    Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s sole right to contest the Annual Statement shall be as expressly set forth in this Section. Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights provided pursuant to applicable laws to inspect Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest the Annual Statement. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s books and records as provided in this Section, or if Tenant shall fail to timely communicate to Landlord the results of Tenant’s examination as provided in this Section, with respect to any Operating Year, Landlord’s Annual Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.

3.    Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the Operating Year included in the Annual Statement shall be made available to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord timely receives the notice from Tenant to make such examination pursuant to this Section, either electronically or during normal business hours at the offices in Massachusetts where Landlord keeps such books and records or at another location in Massachusetts, as determined by Landlord.

4.    Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once in respect of any Operating Year for which Landlord has given Tenant an Annual Statement.

5.    Such examination may be made only by a qualified employee of Tenant or a qualified independent certified public accounting firm or a qualified real estate professional or firm approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No examination shall be conducted by an examiner who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingent fee basis.

6.    As a condition to performing any such examination, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord a commercially reasonable form of agreement, agreeing to keep confidential any information which it discovers about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination.

7.    No subtenant shall have any right to conduct any such examination and no assignee may conduct any such examination with respect to any period during which the assignee was not in possession of the Premises.

8.    All costs and expenses of any such examination shall be paid by Tenant, provided that if such examination indicates that Landlord has overcharged Tenant for Operating Expenses for such Operating Year by more than 5%, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs to perform such audit.

9.    If as a result of such examination Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Landlord’s Operating Expenses exceeded the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, or that Tenant is entitled to a credit with respect to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses, Landlord, at its option, shall refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or apply the amount of such credit, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement. Similarly, if

Page 15



Landlord and Tenant agree that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Landlord’s Operating Expenses were less than the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after the date of such agreement.

2.7
Real Estate Taxes
If with respect to any full Tax Year or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Term, Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as hereinafter defined for a full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises then, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the certified statement referred to below in this Section 2.7, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.7. Not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are determined for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes on the Building and the Site and abatements and refunds of any taxes and assessments. Expenditures for legal fees and for other expenses incurred in seeking the tax refund or abatement may be charged against the tax refund or abatement before the adjustments are made for the Tax Year. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant shall also show for the preceding Tax Year or fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of real estate taxes already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount of real estate taxes remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered by the statement.

In addition, payments by Tenant on account of increases in real estate taxes anticipated for the then current year shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent.

To the extent that real estate taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments.

Landlord agrees to provide any other safety appliances so required by law (i.e., except to the extent the same are required by reason of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) above), the cost of which shall be included in Landlord’s Operating Expenses to the extent provided in Section 2.6 above.

5.6
Assignment; Sublease

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease and/or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses or the like) the whole or any part of the Premises. In addition, the merger or consolidation of Tenant into or with any other entity, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets, shall be deemed to be an assignment within the meaning of this Section 5.6. Any assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, transfer or subletting not expressly permitted in or consented to by Landlord under Sections 5.6.1-5.6.6 shall, at Landlord’s election, be void; shall be of no force and effect; and shall confer no rights on or in favor of third parties. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to seek specific performance of or other equitable relief with respect to the provisions hereof. The limitations of this Section 5.6 shall be deemed to apply to any guarantor(s) of this Lease.

5.6.1
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.6 above, in the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the “Proposed Transfer Notice”) of any proposed sublease or assignment, and said notice shall specify the provisions of the proposed assignment or subletting, including (a) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, (b) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.3 below, such information as to the proposed assignee’s or proposed subtenant’s net worth and financial capability and standing as may reasonably be required for Landlord to make the determination referred to in said Section 5.6.3 (provided, however, that Landlord shall hold such information confidential having the right to release same to its officers, accountants, attorneys and mortgage lenders on a confidential basis), (c) all of the terms and provisions upon which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be

Page 24



made, (d) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.3 below, all other information necessary to make the determination referred to in said Section 5.6.3 and (e) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.4 below, such information as may be reasonably required by Landlord to determine that such proposed assignment or subletting complies with the requirements of said Section 5.6.4; provided, however, that in the case of a merger or acquisition, if required by law or by the terms of any confidentiality agreement to which Tenant is a party, such information may be provided forthwith after the effective date of such assignment. Within thirteen (13) business days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice given as aforesaid (including notice given by Tenant after the effective date of such assignment pursuant to the immediately preceding provision), Landlord shall make and submit to Tenant Landlord’s consent, or refusal to consent accompanied by Landlord’s reasons therefor pursuant to Section 5.6.3, or advise Tenant in reasonable detail of the particular respects in which Tenant’s notice and/or submission is insufficient (failing which, such notice and submission shall be deemed adequate) in which case Tenant shall re-submit such notice with all required information and thereupon the thirteen (13) business day period shall again be applicable.

5.6.2
Landlord shall have the right at its sole option, to be exercised within thirteen (13) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice (the “Acceptance Period”) for an assignment of this Lease or a sublease which itself, or in combination with all other existing subleases would result in the subleasing of more than 50% of the Premises, to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in a notice to Tenant, which date shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days nor later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant; provided, however, that upon the termination date as set forth in Landlord’s notice, all obligations relating to the period after such termination date (but not those relating to the period before such termination date) shall cease and promptly upon being billed therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall make final payment of all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant through the termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall only propose to sublease a portion of the Premises, which sublease itself, or in combination with all other existing subleases would result in the subleasing of more than 50% of the Premises, Landlord shall only have the right to so terminate this Lease with respect to those portions of the Premises which Tenant has previously subleased and proposes to sublease (the “Terminated Portion of the Premises”), and from and after the termination date the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises shall be reduced to the rentable floor area of the remainder of the Premises and the definition of Rentable Floor Area of the Premises shall be so amended and after such termination all references in this Lease to the "Premises" or the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises” shall be deemed to be references to the remainder of the Premises and accordingly Tenant's payments for Annual Fixed Rent, operating costs, real estate taxes and electricity shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect

Page 25



the size of the remainder of the Premises. In the case of a partial subletting where Landlord has exercised its termination right pursuant to this Section 5.6.2, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, the reasonable cost to separately physically demise that portion of the Premises which are being terminated from the remainder of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its termination rights as aforesaid, or shall fail to give any or timely notice pursuant to this Section the provisions of Sections 5.6.3, 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 shall be applicable. This Section 5.6.2 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 5.6.4.

5.6.3
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.6 above, but subject to the provisions of this Section 5.6.3 and the provisions of Sections 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 below, in the event that Landlord has the right to terminate this Lease in whole or in part pursuant to Section 5.6.2 and shall not have exercised such termination right, or shall have failed to give any or timely notice under Section 5.6.2, then for a period of ninety (90) days (i) after the receipt of Landlord’s notice stating that Landlord does not elect the termination right, or (ii) after the expiration of the Acceptance Period, in the event Landlord shall not give any or timely notice under Section 5.6.2 as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises in accordance with the Proposed Transfer Notice provided that, in each instance, Tenant first obtains the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Without limiting the foregoing standard, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to such a proposed assignment or subleasing if:

(a)
the proposed assignee or subtenant is (i) a tenant in the Building or elsewhere within the Office Park and Landlord then has available for lease space within the Office Park comparable in size to the space proposed to be subleased to such subtenant, (ii) is in active negotiation with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord for premises in the Building or elsewhere within the Office Park, or (iii) is not of a character consistent with the operation of a first class office building (by way of example Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to an assignment or subleasing to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency that regularly deals with the public at large in such agency’s office, e.g., the Social Security Administration or Registry of Motor Vehicles), or

(b)
the proposed assignee or subtenant is not of good character and reputation, or


Page 26



(c)
the proposed assignee does not possess adequate financial capability to perform the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (in the case of an assignment) as and when due or required, or

(d)
the assignee or subtenant proposes to use the Premises (or part thereof) for a purpose other than the Permitted Use as stated in Section 1.1 hereof, or

(e)
the character of the business to be conducted or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall (i) be reasonably likely to materially increase Landlord’s Operating Expenses beyond that which Landlord would reasonably anticipate incurring for the permitted use without this Lease (i.e., normal and customary office usage); (ii) be reasonably likely to materially increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden generated by normal and customary office usage; or (iii) violate or be reasonably likely to violate any provisions or restrictions contained herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises, or

(f)
there shall be existing an Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1), or

(g)
any part of the rent payable under the proposed assignment or sublease shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises or if any proposed assignment or sublease shall potentially have any adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification requirements applicable to Landlord and its affiliates, or

(h)
the holder of any mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises does not approve of the proposed assignment or sublease, to the extent that such holder has consent rights under the terms of their ground lease or mortgage, or

(i)
due to the identity or business of a proposed assignee or subtenant, such approval would cause Landlord to be in violation of any covenant or restriction contained in another lease or other agreement affecting space in the Building or elsewhere in the Property.

If Landlord shall consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, as the case may be, then, in such event, Tenant may thereafter sublease or assign pursuant to Tenant’s notice, as given hereunder; provided, however, that if such assignment or sublease shall not be executed and delivered to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord’s consent, the consent shall be deemed null and void and the provisions of Section 5.6.1 shall be applicable.

5.6.4
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.6, 5.6.2, 5.6.3 and 5.6.5, but subject to the provisions of Sections 5.6.1 and 5.6.6, Tenant shall have the

Page 27



right to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) to any other entity (the “Successor Entity”) (i) which controls or is controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s parent corporation, or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant, or (iii) which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or (iv) which purchases all or substantially all of the stock of (or other Ownership or membership interests in) Tenant or (v) which merges or combines with Tenant, provided that the entity to which this Lease is so assigned or which so sublets the Premises has a credit worthiness (e.g. net assets on a pro forma basis using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and using the most recent financial statements) greater than or equal to $68,000,000 in revenue and $140,000,000 in net assets as of the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease, each as determined by generally accepted accounting principles and as shown in such entity’s most recent financial statements, as the case may be, based on such financial statements and other documentation reasonably requested by Landlord (the foregoing transferees referred to, individually or collectively, as a “Permitted Transferee”). Except in cases of statutory merger, in which case the surviving entity in the merger shall be liable as the Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to remain fully liable under this Lease, on a joint and several basis with the Permitted Transferee. If any parent, affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant to which this Lease is assigned or the Premises sublet (in whole or in part) shall cease to be such a parent, affiliate or subsidiary, such cessation shall be considered an assignment or subletting requiring Landlord’s consent.

5.6.5
In the case of any assignment or subleasing as to which Landlord may consent (other than an assignment or subletting permitted under Section 5.6.4 above) such consent shall be upon the express and further condition, covenant and agreement, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid pursuant to this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the “Assignment/Sublease Profits” (hereinafter defined), if any, shall be paid to Landlord. The “Assignment/Sublease Profits” shall be the excess, if any, of (a) the “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” as hereinafter defined over (b) the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease (provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the Assignment/Sublease Profits in the case of a sublease, appropriate prorations in the applicable Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be made based on the percentage of the Premises subleased and on the terms of the sublease). The “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” shall be the fixed rent, additional rent and all other charges and sums payable either initially or over the term of the sublease or assignment (exclusive of the rental or purchase price received by Tenant for the transfer of business assets other than Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease), less the actual out-of-pocket costs of Tenant incurred in such subleasing or assignment (the definition of which consists of rent concessions, brokerage commissions, legal fees of outside counsel engaged by Tenant in connection with such assignment or subleasing, alteration allowances and other costs of any leasehold improvements made by Tenant in connection

Page 28



with such subletting or assignment), as set forth in a statement certified by an appropriate officer of Tenant and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the full execution of the sublease or assignment document, amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment.

All payments of the Assignment/Sublease Profits due Landlord shall be made within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of same by Tenant.

5.6.6
(A)    It shall be a condition of the validity of any assignment or subletting consented to under Section 5.6.3 above, or any assignment or subletting of right under Section 5.6.4 above, that both Tenant (except in the event Tenant ceases to exist through a merger) and the assignee or sublessee enter into a separate written instrument directly with Landlord in a form and containing terms and provisions reasonably required by Landlord, including, without limitation, the agreement of the assignee or sublessee to be bound directly to Landlord for all the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease (including any amendments or extensions thereof), including, without limitation, the obligation (a) to pay the rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease (but in the case of a partial subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.4, such subtenant shall agree on a pro rata basis to be so bound), (b) to comply with the provisions of Sections 5.6 through 5.6.6 hereof and (c) to indemnify the “Landlord Parties” (as defined in Section 8.13) as provided in Section 8.1 hereof. Such assignment or subletting shall not relieve the Tenant named herein of any of the obligations of the Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor and the liability of Tenant and such assignee (or subtenant, as the case may be) shall be joint and several. Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall not constitute a recognition of the sublease or the subtenant thereunder, as the case may be, and at Landlord’s option, upon the termination or expiration of the Lease (whether such termination is based upon a cause beyond Tenant’s control, a default of Tenant, the agreement of Tenant and Landlord or any other reason), the sublease shall be terminated.

(B)    As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a fee for Landlord’s review of any proposed assignment or sublease requested by Tenant and the preparation of any associated documentation in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, an amount equal to the reasonable out of pocket legal fees and other expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for consent to assignment or subletting, not to exceed $3,000 for any one transaction. Section 5.14 hereof shall apply to any request for plan review made in connection with any transfer.

(C)    If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may upon prior notice to Tenant, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, sublessee or occupant

Page 29



and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or a waiver of the provisions of Sections 5.6 through 5.6.6 hereof, or the acceptance of the assignee, sublessee or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained, the Tenant herein named to remain primarily liable under this Lease.

(D)    The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting under Section 5.6.3 above, or the consummation of an assignment or subletting of right under Section 5.6.4 above, shall in no way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting, where such consent is required hereunder.

(E)    On or after the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an “Event of Default” (defined in Section 7.1), Landlord shall be entitled to one hundred percent (100%) of any Assignment/Sublease Profits.    

(F)    Without limiting Tenant’s obligations under Section 5.12, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for performing all work necessary to comply with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in connection with any assignment or subletting hereunder including, without limitation, any work in connection with such assignment or subletting.

(G)    In addition to the other requirements set forth in this Lease and notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, partial sublettings of the Premises shall only be permitted under the following terms and conditions: (i) the layout of both the subleased premises and the remainder of the Premises must comply with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and/or regulations and be approved by Landlord, including, without limitation, all requirements concerning access and egress; (ii) in the event the subleased premises are separately physically demised from the remainder of the Premises, Tenant shall pay all costs of separately physically demising the subleased premises; and (iii) there shall be no more than two (2) subleases in effect in the Premises at any given time.

5.6.7
Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant may from time to time and without Landlord’s consent permit one or more portions of the Premises to be occupied by Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors of Tenant’s contractors, and/or employees of any of Tenant’s affiliates on a temporary basis pursuant to an oral or written revocable license, which contractors and/or subcontractors are using any such space in connection with the performance of their contract obligations to Tenant in connection with the Permitted Use and without payment of consideration therefor to Tenant other than the performance of such contract obligations, provided, however, that incidental use of such space by any such subcontractor or contractor on behalf of another entity shall not be deemed a

Page 30



violation of this paragraph. Any space used for the purposes of this paragraph shall be unified with (e.g. not separately demised), and indistinguishable from, portions of the Premises not used for such purposes. Without limiting the generality of Section 8.1 below, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless from and against any liability, loss, cost or damage resulting from the failure of any such contractors or subcontractors to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease, and any such failure of such contractors or subcontractors to comply with the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be deemed a failure by Tenant to comply. From time to time upon the written request of Landlord, Tenant shall identify in writing any such contractor or subcontractor occupying portions of the Premises pursuant to this Section 5.6.7.

5.7
Right of Entry
To permit Landlord and its agents to examine the Premises at reasonable times and (except in the event of an emergency) upon reasonable prior notice and subject to Tenant’s reasonable security requirements of which Landlord has been given prior notice, if Landlord shall so elect, to make any alterations, additions or improvements contemplated by this Lease or any repairs or replacements Landlord may deem necessary in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease; to remove, at Tenant’s expense, any alterations, addition, signs, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, flagpoles, or the like not consented to in writing; and to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the eleven (11) months preceding expiration of the Term and to prospective purchasers and mortgagees at all reasonable times. Landlord agrees that except in the case of an emergency, it will conduct any such entry contemplated by this Section 5.9 in such a manner so as to minimize any interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business operations in the Premises (consistent with the nature of the reason for such entry).

5.8
Floor Load; Prevention of Vibration and Noise
Not to place a load upon the Premises exceeding an average rate of 70 pounds of live load per square foot of floor area (partitions shall be considered as part of the live load); and not to move any safe, vault or other heavy equipment in, about or out of the Premises except in such manner and at such time as Landlord shall in each instance authorize; Tenant’s business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise that may be transmitted to the Building structure or to any other space in the Building shall be so installed, maintained and used by Tenant so as to eliminate such vibration or noise.

5.9
Personal Property Taxes
To pay promptly when due all taxes which may be imposed upon “Tenant’s Property” (as defined in Section 8.4 hereof) in the Premises to whomever assessed.


Page 31



5.10
Compliance with Laws
Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4.6 above, to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements now or hereafter in force which shall impose a duty on Landlord or Tenant relating to or as a result of the particular manner of use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any alterations or improvements performed by Tenant; provided that Tenant shall not be required to make any alterations or additions to the structure, roof, exterior and load bearing walls, foundation, structural floor slabs and other structural elements of the Building unless the same are required by such Legal Requirements as a result of or in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises beyond normal use of space of this kind. Tenant shall promptly pay all fines, penalties and damages that may arise out of or be imposed because of its failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 5.10.

5.11
Payment of Litigation Expenses
As Additional Rent, to pay all reasonable costs, counsel and other fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the successful enforcement by Landlord of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease or in connection with any bankruptcy case involving Tenant (Landlord hereby similarly agreeing to pay all reasonable third party costs, counsel or other fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the successful enforcement by Tenant of any obligations of Landlord under this Lease or in connection with any bankruptcy case involving Landlord).
5.12
Alterations
A.    Tenant shall not make alterations and additions to Tenant’s Premises except in accordance with plans and specifications therefor first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s determination of matters relating to aesthetic issues relating to alterations, additions or improvements which are visible outside the Premises (including, without limitation, from common lobbies within the Building) shall be in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. Without limiting such standard Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable for withholding approval of any alterations or additions (including, without limitation, any alterations or additions to be performed by Tenant under Article III) which (a) in Landlord’s reasonable opinion will materially adversely affect any structural or exterior element of the Building, any area or element outside of the Premises, or any facility or base building mechanical system serving any area of the Building outside of the Premises, or (b) involve or affect the exterior design, size, height, or other exterior dimensions of the Building or (c) will require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal office use on Lease termination or expiration or increase the cost of construction or of insurance or taxes on the Building or of the services called for by Section 4.1 unless Tenant first gives assurance acceptable to Landlord for payment of such increased cost and that such readaptation will be made prior to such termination or expiration without expense to Landlord, (d) enlarge the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, or (e) are

Page 32



inconsistent, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, with alterations satisfying Landlord’s standards for new alterations in the Building. Landlord’s review and approval of any such plans and specifications and consent to perform work described therein shall not be deemed an agreement by Landlord that such plans, specifications and work conform with applicable Legal Requirements and requirements of insurers of the Building and the other requirements of this Lease with respect to Tenant’s insurance obligations (herein called “Insurance Requirements”) nor deemed a waiver of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements nor impose any liability or obligation upon Landlord with respect to the completeness, design sufficiency or compliance of such plans, specifications and work with applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements nor give right to any other parties. Further, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is acting for its own benefit and account, and that Tenant shall not be acting as Landlord’s agent in performing any work in the Premises, accordingly, no contractor, subcontractor or supplier shall have a right to lien Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with any such work. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a fee for Landlord’s review of any work or plans (excluding any review respecting initial improvements performed pursuant to Article III hereof for which a fee has previously been paid but including any review of plans or work relating to any assignment or subletting), as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the sum of: (i) $150.00 per hour for time spent by Landlord’s in-house personnel (not to exceed $1,000 per project), and (ii) all reasonable third party expenses incurred by Landlord to review Tenant’s plans and Tenant’s work (Landlord hereby agreeing to cap any plan review costs (i.e., inclusive of items (i) and (ii) above) relating to interior, non-structural alterations, addition or improvements that do not impact Building systems at $6,000.00 in connection with any single request for approval). All alterations and additions shall be part of the Building unless and until Landlord shall specify the same for removal pursuant to Section 5.2. All of Tenant’s alterations and additions and installation of furnishings shall be coordinated with any work being performed by Landlord and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not to damage the Buildings or Site or interfere with construction or operation of the Buildings and other improvements to the Site and, except for installation of furnishings, shall be performed by Landlord’s general contractor or by contractors or workers first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Except for work by Landlord’s general contractor, Tenant, before its work is started, shall secure all licenses and permits necessary therefor; deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all its contractors and subcontractors and the estimated cost of all labor and material to be furnished by them and security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liens arising out of the furnishing of such labor and material; and cause each contractor to carry insurance in accordance with Section 8.14 herein and to deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance. Except with respect to purely cosmetic work, such as floor and wall coverings, Tenant shall also prepare and submit to Landlord a set of as-built plans, in both print and electronic forms, showing such work performed by Tenant to the Premises promptly after any such alterations, improvements or installations are substantially complete and promptly after any wiring or cabling for Tenant’s computer, telephone and other communications systems is installed by Tenant or

Page 33



Tenant’s contractor. Without limiting any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant shall be responsible, as Additional Rent, for the costs of any alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Building that are required in order to comply with Legal Requirements directly as a result of any work performed by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to provide such rules and regulations relative to the performance of any alterations, additions, improvements and installations by Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall abide by all such reasonable rules and regulations of which Tenant has received advance written notice and shall cause all of its contractors to so abide including, without limitation, payment for the costs of using Building services. Tenant agrees to pay promptly when due the entire cost of any work done on the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, or independent contractors, and not to cause or permit any liens for labor or materials performed or furnished in connection therewith to attach to the Premises or the Buildings or the Site and immediately to discharge any such liens which may so attach. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, 100% of any real estate taxes on the Property which shall, at any time after commencement of the Term, be expressly assessed by the taxing authority upon any alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises made by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall be the owner of any additions, alterations and improvements in the Premises or the Building to the extent paid for by Landlord.

B.    Notwithstanding the terms of Section 5.12(A), Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, to make alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises where:

(i)
the same are within the interior of the Premises within the Building, and do not affect the exterior of the Premises and the Building (including no signs on windows);

(ii)
the same do not affect the roof, any structural element of the Building, the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and fire protection systems of the Building;

(iii)
the cost of any individual alteration, addition or improvement shall not exceed $20,000.00; and

(iv)
Tenant shall comply with the provisions of this Lease and if such work increases the cost of insurance or taxes or of services, Tenant shall pay for any such increase in cost;

provided, however, that Tenant shall, within ten (10) days prior to the making of such changes, send to Landlord plans and specifications describing the same in reasonable detail. Tenant shall not be required to remove any alterations, additions or improvements for which Landlord consent is not required under this Section 5.16.B.
5.13
Vendors

Page 34



Any vendors engaged by Tenant to perform services in or to the Premises including, without limitation, janitorial contractors and moving contractors shall be coordinated with any work being performed by or for Landlord and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations and not to damage the Building or the Property or interfere with Building construction or operation and shall be performed by vendors first approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.14
Patriot Act
As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby represents and warrants that: (i) Tenant is not, nor is it owned or controlled directly or indirectly by, any person, group, entity or nation named on any list issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) pursuant to Executive Order 13224 or any similar list or any law, order, rule or regulation or any Executive Order of the President of the United States as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person” or other banned or blocked person (any such person, group, entity or nation being hereinafter referred to as a “Prohibited Person”); (ii) Tenant is not (nor is it owned, controlled, directly or indirectly, by any person, group, entity or nation which is) acting directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any Prohibited Person; and (iii) from and after the effective date of the above-referenced Executive Order, Tenant (and any person, group, or entity which Tenant controls, directly or indirectly) has not conducted nor will conduct business nor has engaged nor will engage in any transaction or dealing with any Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any OFAC rule or regulation, including without limitation any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of all or any portion of the Premises or the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of a Prohibited Person in violation of the U.S. Patriot Act or any OFAC rule or regulation. In connection with the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that (x) any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representations and warranties shall be deemed an immediate Event of Default by Tenant under Section 7.1 of this Lease (without the benefit of notice or grace) and shall be covered by the indemnity provisions of Section 8.1 below, and (y) the representations and warranties contained in this subsection shall be continuing in nature and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE VI
Casualty and Taking
6.1
Damage Resulting from Casualty
In case during the Lease Term the Building or the Site are damaged by fire or casualty and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within two hundred ten (210) days from the time that repair work would commence, Landlord may, at its election, terminate this Lease by notice given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of Landlord’s estimate of

Page 35



restoration, specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Landlord shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45) days after the date of notice of such termination.

In case during the Term, the Premises are damaged by fire or casualty and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within two hundred ten (210) days (and/or as to special work or work which requires long lead time then if such work cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired within such additional time as is reasonable under the circumstances given the nature of the work) from the time that repair work would commence, Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s estimate of restoration, specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Tenant shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty-five (45) days after the date of notice of such termination.

Not later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any casualty damage to the Building, Landlord shall cause a reputable, independent contractor, engineer, insurance adjuster or other qualified professional to prepare an estimate of the time that would be required to restore the Building as required by this Article VI, which estimate shall be delivered to Landlord and Tenant within such 30-day period. Such estimate shall provide the basis for the termination rights, if any, of Landlord and Tenant under the preceding two paragraphs.

Unless terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such damage subject, however, to the following provisions.

If the Building or the Site or any part thereof are damaged by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not so terminated, or Landlord or Tenant have no right to terminate this Lease, and in any such case the holder of any mortgage which includes the Building as a part of the mortgaged premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes the Site as part of the demised premises allows the net insurance proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building (and/or the Site), Landlord promptly after such damage and the determination of the net amount of insurance proceeds available shall use due diligence to restore the Premises and the Building in the event of damage thereto (excluding “Tenant’s Property” (as defined in Section 8.4 hereof), except as expressly provided in the immediately following paragraph of this Section 6.1) into proper condition for use and occupation and a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s share of Operating Costs and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes and other Additional Rent according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Premises shall be abated until the Premises shall have been put by Landlord substantially into such condition except for punch list items and long lead items. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repair and restoration any amount in excess of the net insurance proceeds.


Page 36



Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord is proceeding with the restoration of the Building and the Premises in accordance with the previous paragraph, Landlord shall also restore Landlord’s Work and also any alterations, additions or improvements within the Premises that are part of Tenant’s Property (x) which have previously been approved by Landlord in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease and (y) with respect to which Tenant has carried “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage in accordance with Section 8.4 below and pays the proceeds of such insurance (or an amount equivalent thereto) to Landlord within five (5) business days following Landlord’s written request); provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be required to fund any insufficiency in the insurance proceeds (or equivalent amount) provided by Tenant with respect to such loss or damage (or to fund any of the costs of restoration in the absence of any payment by Tenant).

If neither party has previously terminated this Lease and such restoration is not completed within ten (10) months from the date of the casualty or taking, such period to be subject, however, to extension where the delay in completion of such work is due to Force Majeure, as defined hereinbelow (but in no event beyond twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty or taking), Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time after the expiration of such 10-month (as extended) period until the restoration is substantially completed, such termination to take effect as of the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice, with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof unless, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, such restoration is substantially completed, in which case Tenant’s notice of termination shall be of no force and effect and this Lease and the Lease Term shall continue in full force and effect. When used herein, “Force Majeure” shall mean any prevention, delay or stoppage due to governmental regulation, strikes, lockouts, acts of God, acts of war, terrorists acts, civil commotions, unusual scarcity of or inability to obtain labor or materials, labor difficulties, casualty or other causes reasonably beyond Landlord’s control or attributable to Tenant’s action or inaction.

6.2
Uninsured Casualty
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the Building or the Premises shall be substantially damaged by fire or casualty as the result of a risk not covered by the forms of casualty insurance at the time maintained by Landlord or required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder and such fire or casualty damage cannot, in the ordinary course, reasonably be expected to be repaired within ninety (90) days from the time that repair work would commence, Landlord may, at its election, terminate the Term of this Lease by notice to the Tenant given within sixty (60) days after such loss. If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

6.3
Rights of Termination for Taking

Page 37



If the entire Building, or such portion of the Premises as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) unsuitable for Tenant’s purposes in Tenant’s reasonable business judgment, shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other of its desire to do so, provided that such notice is given not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession. If either party shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date that Tenant is deprived of possession with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

Further, if (x) the entire Building shall be taken or (y) so much of the Building shall be so taken that continued operation of the Building would be uneconomic as a result of the taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of Landlord’s desire to do so not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession of the Premises (or such portion thereof as may be taken). If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date that Tenant is deprived of possession with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.

Should any part of the Premises be so taken or condemned during the Lease Term hereof, and should this Lease not be terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the holder of any mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes the Site as part of the demised premises allows the net condemnation proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building, Landlord agrees that after the determination of the net amount of condemnation proceeds available to Landlord, Landlord shall use due diligence to put what may remain of the Premises into proper condition for use and occupation as nearly like the condition of the Premises prior to such taking as shall be practicable (excluding Tenant’s Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repair and restoration any amount in excess of the net condemnation proceeds made available to it.

If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, then the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s share of operating costs and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s share of operating costs and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes shall be abated for the remainder of the Lease Term.

6.4
Award
Landlord shall have and hereby reserves to itself any and all rights to receive awards made for damages to the Premises, the Buildings, the Property and the Site and the leasehold hereby created, or any one or more of them, accruing by reason of exercise of

Page 38



eminent domain or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby grants, releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant’s rights to such awards, and covenants to execute and deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s usual trade fixtures installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense and for relocation and moving expenses, provided that such action and any resulting award shall not affect or diminish the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.
ARTICLE VII
Default
7.1
Tenant’s Default
(a)
If at any time subsequent to the date of this Lease any one or more of the following events (herein sometimes called an “Event of Default”) shall occur:

(i)
Tenant shall fail to pay the fixed rent, Additional Rent or other charges for which provision is made herein on or before the date on which the same become due and payable, and the same continues for five (5) business days after notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or

(ii)
Landlord having rightfully given the notice specified in subdivision (i) above twice in any calendar year, Tenant shall thereafter in the same calendar year fail to pay the fixed rent, Additional Rent or other charges on or before the date on which the same become due and payable; or

(iii)
Tenant shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises in violation of the requirements of Sections 5.6 through 5.6.5 of this Lease; or

(iv)
Tenant shall fail to maintain the general liability insurance required under this Lease, or Tenant shall employ labor or contractors within the Premises which interfere with Landlord’s Work, in violation of Exhibit B-1, and the same continues for five (5) business days after notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or

(v)
Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or

Page 39



observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure, or if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall fail to commence promptly to remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity; or

(vi)
Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken on execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant; or

(vii)
Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation for the relief of debtors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

(viii)
A petition shall be filed against Tenant in bankruptcy or under any other law seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive), or if any debtor in possession (whether or not Tenant) trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Premises shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive) then, and in any of said cases (notwithstanding any license of a former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a former instance).

Landlord lawfully may, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without demand or further notice terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such notice on which this Lease shall terminate, and this Lease shall come to an end on the date specified therein as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption), and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.


Page 40



(b)
If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Article, then Landlord may, without notice, re-enter the Premises, either by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and remove and dispossess Tenant and all other persons and any and all property from the same, as if this Lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end.

(c)
In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 7.1 (a) or shall be otherwise terminated by breach of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Term, and for the whole thereof, but in the event the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner:

Amounts received by Landlord after reletting shall first be applied against such Landlord’s expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant’s liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery not in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, amounts received by Landlord from such reletting for any period shall be credited only against obligations of Tenant allocable to such period, and shall not be credited against obligations of Tenant hereunder accruing subsequent or prior to such period; nor shall any credit of any kind be due for any period after the date when the term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.

Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the same in the event this Lease is terminated based upon an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. The marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s

control within the Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts” hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant), (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building, or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Building.

(d)
(i)    Landlord may elect, as an alternative, to have Tenant pay liquidated damages, which election may be made by notice given to Tenant at any time after such termination and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as aforesaid, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of all other damages beyond the date of such notice. Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant for any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to the collection of such damages, such a sum as at the time of the giving of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the total rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease from the date of such notice for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant over and above the then cash rental value (in advance) of the Premises for the balance of the Lease Term.

(ii)    For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the total rent shall be computed by assuming that Tenant’s share of excess taxes, Tenant’s share of excess operating costs and Tenant’s share of excess electrical costs would be, for the balance of the unexpired Term from the date of such notice, the amount thereof (if any) for the immediately preceding annual period payable by Tenant to Landlord.

(e)
In case of any Event of Default and re-entry, dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions, abatements or free rent to the extent that Landlord reasonably considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole but reasonable judgment considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent

Page 42



under re-letting. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.

(f)
The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. Further, nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

7.2
Landlord’s Default
Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days, after notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation, or, if such failure is of a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall fail to commence promptly to remedy the same within such thirty-day period and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence. The Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to the Landlord for satisfaction of such claim.
ARTICLE VIII
Insurance and Indemnity
8.1
Tenant’s Indemnity
(a)     Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives any right to contribution against the Landlord Parties (as hereinafter defined) and agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from or claimed to have arisen from (i) any act, omission or negligence of the Tenant Parties (as hereinafter defined); (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in or about the Premises from the earlier of (A) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (B) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end

Page 43



of the Lease Term, and after the end of the Lease Term for so long after the end of the Lease Term as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof; (iii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever occurring outside the Premises but within the Building, or on common areas within the Office Park, where such accident, injury or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from the negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any of the Tenant Parties; or (iv) any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall pay such indemnified amounts as they are incurred by the Landlord Parties. This indemnification shall not be construed to deny or reduce any other rights or obligations of indemnity that any of the Landlord Parties may have under this Lease or the common law. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to indemnify a Landlord Party for any claims to the extent that such Landlord Party’s damages in fact result from such Landlord Party negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)     Breach. In the event that Tenant breaches any of its indemnity obligations hereunder or under any other contractual or common law indemnity: (i) Tenant shall pay to the Landlord Parties all liabilities, loss, cost, or expense (including attorney’s fees) incurred as a result of said breach; and (ii) the Landlord Parties may deduct and offset from any amounts due to Tenant under this Lease any amounts owed by Tenant pursuant to this Section 8.1(b).

(c)    No limitation. The indemnification obligations under this Section 8.1 shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises under workers’ compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts. Tenant waives any immunity from or limitation on its indemnity or contribution liability to the Landlord Parties based upon such acts.

(d)    Subtenants and other occupants. Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide similar indemnities to the Landlord Parties in a form acceptable to Landlord.

(e)    Survival. The terms of this Section 8.1 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Lease.

(f)    Costs. The foregoing indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity for all costs, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Landlord Parties in connection with any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. In addition, in the event that any action or proceeding shall be brought against one or more Landlord Parties by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon request from the Landlord Party, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding on behalf of the Landlord Party by counsel appointed by Tenant’s insurer (if such claim is covered by insurance without reservation) or otherwise by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord Party. The Landlord Parties shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or

Page 44



proceeding without the prior written consent of such Landlord Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.1.1    Subject to the limitations in Section 9.3 and in Section 8.2 and Section 8.13 of this Article, and to the extent not resulting from any act, omission, fault, negligence or misconduct of Tenant or its contractors, licensees, invitees, agents, servants or employees, Landlord agrees to indemnify and save harmless Tenant from and against any claim by a third party arising from any injury to any person occurring in the Premises or in the Complex after the date that possession of the Premises is first delivered to Tenant and until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, to the extent such injury results from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord Parties, or from any breach or default by Landlord in the performance or observance of its covenants or obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall the aforesaid indemnity render Landlord responsible or liable for any loss or damage to fixtures, personal property or other property of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be liable for any indirect or consequential damages. Tenant shall provide notice of any such third party claim to Landlord as soon as practicable. Landlord shall have the right, but not the duty, to defend the claim. The provisions of this Section shall not be applicable to the holder of any mortgage now or hereafter on the Property or Building (whether or not such holder shall be a mortgagee in possession of or shall have exercised any rights under a conditional, collateral or other assignment of leases and/or rents respecting the Property or Building), except to the extent of liability insurance maintained by such holder.

8.2
Tenant’s Risk
Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building, the Site and the Office Park as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant’s own risk. The Landlord Parties shall not be liable to the Tenant Parties for any damage, injury, loss, compensation, or claim (including, but not limited to, claims for the interruption of or loss to a Tenant Party’s business) based on, arising out of or resulting from any cause whatsoever, including, but not limited to, repairs to any portion of the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Office Park, any fire, robbery, theft, mysterious disappearance, or any other crime or casualty, the actions of any other tenants of the Office Park or of any other person or persons, or any leakage in any part or portion of the Premises or the Building or the Property, or from water, rain or snow that may leak into, or flow from any part of the Premises or the Building or the Property, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Building or the Property. Any goods, property or personal effects stored or placed in or about the Premises shall be at the sole risk of the Tenant Party, and neither the Landlord Parties nor their insurers shall in any manner be held responsible therefor. The Landlord Parties shall not be responsible or liable to a Tenant Party, or to those claiming by, through or under a Tenant Party, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Building or otherwise. The provisions of this section shall be applicable to the fullest extent permitted by law, and until the expiration or earlier

Page 45



termination of the Lease Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the Building. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not apply to the extent of Landlord’s negligence.

8.3
Tenant’s Commercial General Liability Insurance
Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout and until the end of the Lease Term, and after the end of the Lease Term for so long as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereafter, a policy of commercial general liability insurance, on an occurrence basis, issued on a form at least as broad as Insurance Services Office (“ISO”) Commercial General Liability Coverage “occurrence” form CG 00 01 10 01 or another Commercial General Liability “occurrence” form providing equivalent coverage. Such insurance shall include broad form contractual liability coverage, specifically covering this Lease as an insured contract. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be $5,000,000 per occurrence. In addition, in the event Tenant hosts a function in the Premises, Tenant agrees to obtain, and cause any persons or parties providing services for such function to obtain, the appropriate insurance coverages as determined by Landlord (including liquor liability coverage, if applicable) and provide Landlord with evidence of the same.

8.4
Tenant’s Property Insurance
Tenant shall maintain at all times during the Term of the Lease, and during such earlier time as Tenant may be performing work in or to the Premises or have property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares or merchandise on the Premises, and containing thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, business interruption insurance and insurance against loss or damage covered by the so-called “all risk” type insurance coverage with respect to Tenant’s property, fixtures, furniture, equipment, machinery, goods, supplies, wares and merchandise, and all alterations, improvements and other modifications made by or on behalf of the Tenant in the Premises (other than Landlord’s Work), and other property of Tenant located at the Premises, which are permitted to be removed by Tenant at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term except to the extent paid for by Landlord (collectively “Tenant’s Property”). The business interruption insurance required by this Section 8.4 shall be in minimum amounts typically carried by prudent tenants engaged in similar operations, but in no event shall be in an amount less than the Annual Fixed Rent then in effect during any year during the Term, plus any Additional Rent due and payable for the immediately preceding year during the Term. The “all risk” insurance required by this section shall be in an amount at least equal to the full replacement cost of Tenant’s Property. In addition, during such time as Tenant is performing work in or to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall also maintain, or shall cause its contractor(s) to maintain, builder’s risk insurance for the full insurable value of such work. Landlord

Page 46



and such additional persons or entities as Landlord may reasonably request shall be named as loss payees, as their interests may appear, on the property insurance policy or policies required by this Lease with respect to Tenant improvements which are paid for by Tenant and which Landlord is required to restore pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. In the event of loss or damage covered by the “all risk” insurance required by this Lease, the responsibilities for repairing or restoring the loss or damage shall be determined in accordance with Article VI. To the extent that Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. To the extent Tenant is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage, covered by the policy, Tenant shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. If both Landlord and Tenant are obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to each of them in the pro rata proportion of their obligations to repair or restore the loss or damage. If the loss or damage is not repaired or restored (for example, if the Lease is terminated pursuant to Article VI), the insurance proceeds shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant in the pro rata proportion of their relative contributions to the cost of the leasehold improvements covered by the policy.

8.5
Tenant’s Other Insurance
Tenant agrees to maintain in full force on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout the end of the Term, and after the end of the Term for so long after the end of the Term as Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereafter, (1) comprehensive automobile liability insurance (covering any automobiles owned or operated by Tenant at the Site) issued on a form at least as broad as ISO Business Auto Coverage form CA 00 01 07 97 or other form providing equivalent coverage; (2) worker’s compensation insurance; and (3) employer’s liability insurance. Such automobile liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident. Such worker’s compensation insurance shall carry minimum limits as defined by the law of the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located (as the same may be amended from time to time). Such employer’s liability insurance shall be in an amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each accident, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-policy limit, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) disease-each employee.

8.6
Requirements for Tenant’s Insurance
All insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be maintained with responsible companies that are admitted to do business, and are in good standing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that have a rating of at least “A” and are within a financial size category of not less than “Class X” in the most current Best’s Key Rating Guide or such similar rating as may be reasonably selected by Landlord. All such insurance shall: (1) be in form and content acceptable to Landlord in

Page 47



its reasonable discretion; (2) be primary and noncontributory; and (3) contain an endorsement prohibiting cancellation, failure to renew, reduction of amount of insurance, or change in coverage without the insurer first giving Landlord thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by fax or email) of such proposed action. No such policy shall contain any deductible or self-insured retention greater than $25,000 for liability insurance and $100,000 for property insurance. Such deductibles and self-insured retentions and any deductibles shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purposes of the waiver in Section 8.13 below. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to require Tenant to obtain higher minimum amounts of insurance based on such limits as are customarily carried with respect to similar properties in the area in which the Premises are located. The minimum amounts of insurance required by this Lease shall not be reduced by the payment of claims or for any other reason. In the event Tenant shall fail to obtain or maintain any insurance meeting the requirements of this Article, or to deliver such policies or certificates as required by this Article, Landlord may, at its option, on five (5) days’ notice to Tenant, procure such policies for the account of Tenant, and the cost thereof shall be paid to Landlord within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

8.7
Additional Insureds
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and any additional liability insurance carried by Tenant pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Lease, shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and such other persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to this Lease or the operations of Tenant (collectively “Additional Insureds”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured.

8.8
Certificates of Insurance
On or before the earlier of (i) the date on which any Tenant Party first enters the Premises for any reason or (ii) the Commencement Date, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing the insurance coverage required by this Lease, and renewal certificates shall be furnished to Landlord at least annually thereafter, at least ten (10) days prior to the renewal date of each policy for which a certificate was furnished (acceptable forms of such certificates as of the date hereof for liability and property insurance, respectively, are attached as Exhibit I, however, other forms may be acceptable). Failure by the Tenant to provide the certificates or letters required by this Section 8.8 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the requirements in this Section 8.8. Upon request by Landlord, a true and complete copy of any insurance policy required by this Lease shall be delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days following Landlord’s request.


Page 48



8.9
Subtenants and Other Occupants
Tenant shall require its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises to provide written documentation evidencing the obligation of such subtenant or other occupant to indemnify the Landlord Parties to the same extent that Tenant is required to indemnify the Landlord Parties pursuant to Section 8.1 above, and to maintain insurance that meets the requirements of this Article, and otherwise to comply with the requirements of this Article. Tenant shall require all such subtenants and occupants to supply certificates of insurance evidencing that the insurance requirements of this Article have been met and shall forward such certificates to Landlord on or before the earlier of (i) the date on which the subtenant or other occupant or any of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives first enters the Premises or (ii) the commencement of the sublease. Tenant shall be responsible for identifying and remedying any deficiencies in such certificates or policy provisions.

8.10
No Violation of Building Policies
Tenant shall not commit or permit any violation of the policies of fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance covering the Property and/or the fixtures, equipment and property therein carried by Landlord, or do or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept, in the Premises, which in case of any of the foregoing (i) would result in termination of any such policies, (ii) would adversely affect Landlord’s right of recovery under any of such policies, or (iii) would result in reputable and independent insurance companies refusing to insure the Property or the property of Landlord in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

8.11
Tenant to Pay Premium Increases
If, because of anything done, caused or permitted to be done, or omitted by Tenant (or its subtenant or other occupants of the Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Property and equipment of Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and/or the other tenants and subtenants in the Building for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord or by any of the other tenants and subtenants in the Building which shall have been charged because of the aforesaid reasons, such reimbursement to be made from time to time on Landlord’s demand.

8.12
Landlord’s Insurance
(a)     Required insurance. Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building on an “all risk” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles as Landlord may determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building. Landlord shall also maintain such insurance with respect to any improvements, alterations, and fixtures of Tenant located at

Page 49



the Premises to the extent paid for by Landlord. The cost of such insurance shall be treated as a part of Landlord’s Operating Expenses. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company selected by Landlord. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord.

(b)     Optional insurance. Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building and the Property, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Property. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Landlord’s Operating Expenses.

(c)     Blanket and self-insurance. Any or all of Landlord’s insurance may be provided by blanket coverage maintained by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under its insurance program for its portfolio of properties, or by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord under a program of self-insurance, and in such event Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall include the portion of the reasonable cost of blanket insurance or self-insurance that is allocated to the Building.

(d)     No obligation. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, Tenant’s Property, including any such property or work of Tenant’s subtenants or occupants, except to the extent caused solely by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord will also have no obligation to carry insurance against, nor be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant, subtenants or other occupants due to interruption of Tenant’s or any subtenant’s or occupant’s business.

8.13
Waiver of Subrogation
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereto waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other, and agree not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, and in the case of Landlord, against all “Tenant Parties” (hereinafter defined), and in the case of Tenant, against all “Landlord Parties” (hereinafter defined), for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party to the extent such loss or damage is insured under any insurance policy required by this Lease or which would have been so insured had the party carried the insurance it was required to carry hereunder or to the extent of any greater amounts or types of insurance actually carried by such party. Tenant shall obtain from its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises a similar waiver and release of claims against any or all of Tenant or Landlord. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case of Tenant, its subtenants and other occupants of the Premises) shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Lease pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation. The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of

Page 50



recovery in this section. The parties hereto covenant that no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the parties hereto by virtue of such insurance policy.

The term “Landlord Party” or “Landlord Parties” shall mean Landlord, any affiliate of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agents for the Building, each mortgagee (if any), each ground lessor (if any), and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents or representatives. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Tenant Party” or “Tenant Parties” shall mean Tenant, any affiliate of Tenant, any permitted subtenant or any other permitted occupant of the Premises, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives.

8.14
Tenant’s Work
During such times as Tenant is performing work or having work or services performed in or to the Premises, Tenant shall require its contractors, and their subcontractors of all tiers, to obtain and maintain commercial general liability, automobile, workers compensation, employer’s liability, builder’s risk, and equipment/property insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are customarily required of such contractors and subcontractors on similar projects. The amounts and terms of all such insurance are subject to Landlord’s written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The commercial general liability and auto insurance carried by Tenant’s contractors and their subcontractors of all tiers pursuant to this section shall name Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, and such other persons as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time as additional insureds with respect to liability arising out of or related to their work or services (collectively “Additional Insureds”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, or other Additional Insureds. Such insurance shall also waive any right of subrogation against each Additional Insured. Tenant shall obtain and submit to Landlord, prior to the earlier of (i) the entry onto the Premises by such contractors or subcontractors or (ii) commencement of the work or services, certificates of insurance evidencing compliance with the requirements of this section.
ARTICLE IX
Miscellaneous Provisions
9.1
Waiver
Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively, of any of its rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any

Page 51



time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of subsequent similar act by the other.

No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.

9.2
Cumulative Remedies
Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the specific remedies to which Landlord or Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which such party may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, each of Tenant and Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.

9.3
Quiet Enjoyment
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all matters of record. Provided no Event of Default then exists, Tenant shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term (exclusive of any period during which Tenant is holding over after the termination or expiration of this Lease without the consent of Landlord), without hindrance or ejection by any persons claiming by, through, or under Landlord or claiming to have title to the Premises superior to Tenant, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease; the foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied; and it is understood and agreed that this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and Landlord’s successors, including ground or master lessees, only with respect to breaches occurring during Landlord’s or Landlord’s successors’ respective ownership of Landlord’s interest hereunder, as the case may be.

Further, Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord's then equity interest in the Office Park at the time owned, or in which Landlord holds an interest as ground lessee, and Landlord’s interest in the proceeds of any fire or casualty insurance policy, or any liability insurance policy including, without limitation, any self-insurance (but in the case

Page 52



of liability insurance and self-insurance only to the extent of an unsatisfied loss event covered by Landlord’s indemnification obligation under Section 8.1.1 hereof), or condemnation award attributable thereto, for recovery of any judgment from Landlord; it being specifically agreed that neither Landlord (original or successor), nor any beneficiary of any trust of which any person holding Landlord's interest is trustee, nor any member, manager, partner, director or stockholder, nor Landlord's managing agent, shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord's successors in interest, or any action not involving the personal liability of Landlord (original or successor), any successor trustee to the persons named herein as Landlord, or any beneficiary of any trust of which any person holding Landlord's interest is trustee, or of any manager, member, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or of Landlord’s managing agent to respond in monetary damages from Landlord's assets other than Landlord's equity interest aforesaid in the Office Park, but in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same. In the event that Landlord shall be determined to have acted unreasonably in withholding any consent or approval under this Lease, the sole recourse and remedy of Tenant in respect thereof shall be to specifically enforce Landlord’s obligation to grant such consent or approval, and in no event shall the Landlord be responsible for any damages of whatever nature in respect of its failure to give such consent or approval nor shall the same otherwise affect the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or act as any termination of this Lease.

In no event shall Landlord or Tenant ever be liable to the other party for any indirect or consequential damages suffered from whatever cause; provided that the foregoing shall not limit or alter any procedural right or remedy of either party under this Lease nor shall the same apply to the obligations of Tenant with respect to any hold over by Tenant for more than thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

9.4
Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor
After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the demised premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective as to such holder or ground lessor unless and until such notice is given to such holder or ground lessor, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time thereafter (including a reasonable time to obtain possession of the premises if the mortgagee or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 9.4 or Section 9.14,

Page 53



the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest). If any mortgage is listed on Exhibit J then the same shall constitute notice from the holder of such mortgage for the purposes of this Section 9.4. Further no Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be paid by Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance except with the prior written consent of all holder(s) of such mortgages and ground leases, and any such payment without such consent shall not be binding on such holder(s).

9.5
Assignment of Rents
With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees:

(a)
That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and

(b)
That, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor.

In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land on which the same is located by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases the entire Building or such land back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by such purchaser-lessor, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder subject to the provisions of Section 9.3 hereof. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser provided that such purchaser agrees to recognize the right of Tenant to use and occupy the Premises upon the payment of rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and provided that Tenant agrees to attorn to such purchaser. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.

9.6
Surrender
No act or thing done by Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid,

Page 54



unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

9.7
Brokerage
(A)    Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the Broker; and in the event any claim is made against the Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with brokers other than the Broker, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.

(B)    Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the Broker; and in the event any claim is made against the Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers other than the Broker, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection first approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the Broker for the Original Term of this Lease.

9.8
Invalidity of Particular Provisions
If any term or provision of this Lease, including but not limited to any waiver of contribution or claims, indemnity, obligation, or limitation of liability or of damages, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.9
Provisions Binding, Etc.
The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to subletting or assignment by Tenant.

9.10
Recording; Confidentiality

Page 55



Tenant agrees not to record the within Lease, but each party hereto agrees, on the request of the other, to execute a so-called Notice of Lease or short form lease in form recordable and complying with applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord’s and Tenant’s attorneys. In no event shall such document set forth rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Notwithstanding that Tenant is a public company, Tenant agrees that this Lease and the terms contained herein will be treated as strictly confidential and except as required by law, including, without limitation, as required to satisfy filing requirements of a public company (or except with the written consent of Landlord) Tenant shall not disclose the same to any third party except for Tenant’s partners, lenders, accountants and attorneys who have been advised of the confidentiality provisions contained herein and agree to be bound by the same. In the event Tenant is required by law to provide this Lease or disclose any of its terms, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of such requirement prior to making disclosure so that Landlord may seek an appropriate protective order; provided, however that the requirements set forth in this sentence shall not apply in connection with any disclosure to the extent required to satisfy filing requirements of a public company. If failing the entry of a protective order Tenant is compelled to make disclosure, Tenant shall only disclose portions of the Lease which Tenant is required to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information so disclosed.

9.11
Notices
Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notice shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notice shall be in writing (and no inference shall be drawn from the fact that certain provisions of this Lease require “written notice” where others simply require “notice”) and shall be sent by overnight commercial courier (which obtains a signature upon delivery) or by registered or certified mail postage or delivery charges prepaid, as the case may be:

If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by like notice) with a copy to Landlord, Attention: Regional General Counsel.

If intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease except that from and after the Commencement Date the address of Tenant shall be the Premises (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by like notice) with a copy to Tenant, Attention: General Counsel, and a copy to Goodwin Procter LLP, Exchange Place, 53 State Street, Boston, MA 02109 Attention: Eric M. Labbe, Esquire.


Page 56



Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused, (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted, (iii) if the notice address is a post office box number, notice shall be effective the day after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove or (iv) if the notice is to a foreign address, notice shall be effective two (2) days after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove.

Where provision is made for the attention of an individual or department, the notice shall be effective only if the wrapper in which such notice is sent is addressed to the attention of such individual or department.

Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord’s managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective. Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Tenant shall be considered as given by Tenant and shall be fully effective.

Time is of the essence with respect to any and all notices and periods for giving notice or taking any action thereto under this Lease.

9.12
When Lease Becomes Binding
Employees or agents of Landlord have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord or Tenant shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof. Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that all necessary action has been taken to enter this Lease and that the person signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant has been duly authorized to do so.

9.13
Section Headings
The titles of the Articles throughout this Lease are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease. Wherever in this Lease it is stated that any approval, consent, or the like shall not be unreasonably withheld, such statement shall be read as meaning that the same shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned.


Page 57



9.14
Rights of Mortgagee
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter on the Site or the Building, or both, and to each advance made or hereafter to be made under any mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor provided that the holder of such mortgage agrees to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease (including, without limitation, the right to use and occupy the Premises) upon the payment of rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder as provided in a commercially reasonable form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement provided to Tenant and executed and delivered by such mortgagee. In the event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, then, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to such mortgagee or successor and to recognize such mortgagee or successor as its landlord. If any holder of a mortgage which includes the Premises, executed and recorded prior to the date of this Lease, shall so elect, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded, or a statutory notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage. The election of any such holder shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant in the same fashion as notices from Landlord to Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage to this Lease.

Landlord represents and warrants that there is no mortgage or ground lease encumbering the Building or the Site as of the date of this Lease.

9.15
Status Reports and Financial Statements
(A)    Recognizing that either party may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, each party, on the request of the other made from time to time, will promptly furnish to the other, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Building, the Site and/or the Property or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Building, the Site and/or the Property (each an “Interested Party”), a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease. Any such status statement delivered by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.15(A) may be relied upon by any Interested Party.

(B)    For so long as Tenant is a publicly-traded entity and timely files its financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission under and with Forms 10Q and 10K, Tenant shall have no obligation to deliver financial statements to Landlord. In the

Page 58



event that Tenant ceases to be a publicly-traded entity for reporting purposes, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, or any Interested Party designated by Landlord, upon Landlord’s written request given not more than once in any 12-month period, Tenant’s most recent audited financial statements of Tenant, or if Tenant does not have its financials audited, Tenant shall provide financial statements certified by the appropriate accounting or finance officer of Tenant, including, but not limited to, a balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statements which financial statements shall include sufficient detail and information for Landlord to assess Tenant’s financial condition. Such financial statements may, as requested by Landlord, include financial statements for the past three (3) years (if available), and any such status statement and/or financial statement delivered by Tenant pursuant to this Section 8.16(B) may be relied upon by any Interested Party. Landlord and any Interested Party to whom Tenant directly provides such information shall keep any non-public information provided by Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.15(B) confidential, and shall not disclose the same other than (i) on a need to know basis to Landlord’s officers, employees and consultants (or to any of the Interested Parties), all of whom shall be instructed to keep such information confidential, or (ii) to the extent required by applicable law or by any administrative, governmental or judicial proceeding.

9.16
Self-Help
If Tenant shall at any time default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, after notice to Tenant thereof and expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform such obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of two and one-half percentage points over the then prevailing prime rate in Boston as set by Bank of America, N.A., or its successor (but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) and all costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
9.17
Holding Over
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that, for the first thirty (30) days of any such holdover Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount equal to the greater of (x) 150% of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease, or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises; and thereafter, Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount

Page 59



equal to the greater of (x) 200% of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease, or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises, terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises in accordance with the requirements of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be liable for indirect or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of such hold-over for the first 30 days of such hold-over. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity.

9.18
Extension Option
(A)    On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive by written notice to Tenant) that both at the time of exercise of the option to extend and as of the commencement of the Extended Term in question (i) there exists no Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1), (ii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, and (iii) Tenant has neither assigned this Lease nor sublet more than thirty percent (30%) the Premises (except for an assignment or subletting permitted without Landlord’s consent under Section 5.6.4 hereof), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term hereof upon all the same terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein contained (except for the Annual Fixed Rent which shall be adjusted during the option period as hereinbelow set forth) for one (1) period of five (5) years as hereinafter set forth. The option period is sometimes herein referred to as the “Extended Term.” Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary Landlord has no obligation to make any additional payment to Tenant in respect of any construction allowance or the like or to perform any work to the Premises as a result of the exercise by Tenant of such option.

(B)    If Tenant desires to exercise said option to extend the Term, then Tenant shall give notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Landlord, not earlier than fifteen (15) months nor later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease exercising such option to extend. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the Exercise Notice, Landlord shall provide Landlord's quotation to Tenant of a proposed annual rent for the Extended Term (“Landlord's Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation

Page 60



Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of an annual rental for the Extended Term and executed a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit K) for the Extended Term, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit K. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term shall be the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination, then Annual Fixed Rent during the Extended Term shall be equal to Landlord's Rent Quotation.

(C)    Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant's option to extend the Lease Term in accordance with the provisions of Section B above, then this Lease and the Lease Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended for the Extended Term without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Section 9.18; and in such event all references herein to the Lease Term or the term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the Lease Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Lease Term.


Page 61



9.19    Security Deposit
Tenant agrees that the Security Deposit shall be paid upon execution and delivery of this Lease, and that Landlord shall hold the same, throughout the term of this Lease (including any extension thereof), as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed. Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to apply such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from any Event of Default. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deliver cash to Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in Section 1.1. While Landlord holds such deposit, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, may be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee, and, if so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.19, and the return thereof in accordance herewith.

Tenant shall have the right, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, to provide such security deposit in the form of an irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service, (ii) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent that pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord is entitled to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge, and (v) provide that any notices to Landlord be sent to the notice address provided for Landlord in this Lease. If the credit rating for the issuer of such Letter of Credit falls below the standard set forth in (i) above or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other material adverse way, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to provide the same within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of two (2) years (or for one (1) year if the issuer thereof regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for a maximum term of one (1) year) and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the date which is ninety (90) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of this Lease (as the same may be extended) or if the issuer will not grant automatic renewals, the Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Tenant each year and each such renewal shall be delivered to and received by Landlord not later than sixty (60) days before the expiration of the then current Letter of Credit (herein called a “Renewal Presentation Date”). In the event of a failure to so deliver any such renewal Letter of Credit on or before the applicable Renewal

Page 62



Presentation Date, Landlord shall be entitled to present the then existing Letter of Credit for payment and to receive the proceeds thereof, which proceeds shall be held as Tenant’s security deposit, subject to the terms of this Section 9.19. Any failure or refusal to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation hereunder with regard to the security deposit. Upon the receipt by Landlord of a Letter of Credit meeting the requirements set forth herein, Landlord shall return to Tenant any cash security deposit then being held by Landlord, and thereafter such Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9.19 as security for Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

Landlord shall return $100,000.00 of the Security Deposit to Tenant so that the remainder of such Security Deposit shall be $300,000.00 (or if such deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, as provided below, Landlord shall either exchange the Letter of Credit for a Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant or accept an amendment to such Letter of Credit, in either case which reduces the amount secured by the Letter of Credit by $100,000.00 and otherwise in strict conformity with the requirements herein) on the second anniversary of the Commencement Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease and remains uncured as of such second anniversary, and (ii) Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Landlord's damages arising from any Event of Default, whether or not Tenant has restored the amount so applied by Landlord.

If Tenant believes that it has satisfied all the conditions precedent to a reduction in the amount of the Security Deposit, then it shall request such reduction in writing to Landlord, which request shall certify to Landlord that all such conditions have been satisfied. If Landlord determines that all of the aforesaid conditions are met, the Security Deposit shall be so reduced in accordance with this Section 9.19. No Letter of Credit shall automatically reduce, but any reduction in the amount thereof shall require Landlord’s prior written notice to the issuer of the Letter of Credit of the reduced amount. Promptly after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for a reduction as described above, Landlord shall determine whether such a reduction is permitted in accordance with this Section 9.19, and if it is, Landlord shall notify the issuer of the Letter of Credit of the amount to which the Letter of Credit shall be reduced.

Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under this Lease, including the payment of all Annual Fixed Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.19, to Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease (as the same may have been extended) and surrender possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in the condition required in the Lease at such time.

Neither the holder of any mortgage nor the lessor in any ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor.

Page 63




9.20
Late Payment
If Landlord shall not have received any payment or installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (the “Outstanding Amount”) on or before the date on which the same first becomes payable under this Lease (the “Due Date”), the amount of such payment or installment shall incur a late charge equal to the sum of: (a) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Amount for administration and bookkeeping costs associated with the late payment and (b) interest on the Outstanding Amount from the Due Date through and including the date such payment or installment is received by Landlord, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. (or its successor) from time to time as its prime or base rate (or if such rate is no longer available, a comparable rate reasonably selected by Landlord), plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate, if any. Such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.

Landlord agrees to waive the late charge due hereunder for the first late payment by Tenant under this Lease, provided that Landlord receives such payment from Tenant within five (5) business days after notice to Tenant of such nonpayment.

9.21
Tenant’s Payments
Each and every payment and expenditure, other than Annual Fixed Rent, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent or additional rent hereunder, whether or not the provisions requiring payment of such amounts specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, within thirty (30) days after written demand by Landlord, and in the case of the non-payment of any such amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by law in the case of non-payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the performance and observance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6 in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its audit rights, if Tenant has not objected to any statement of Additional Rent which is rendered by Landlord to Tenant within one (1) year after Landlord has rendered the same to Tenant, then the same shall be deemed to be a final account between Landlord and Tenant not subject to any further dispute. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlord’s consent or approval under this Lease, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including legal and architectural costs and expenses, incurred by Landlord in processing such request, whether or not such consent or approval shall be given. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord has elected to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), any service required or permitted to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease, the charge or cost of which may be treated as impermissible tenant service income under the laws governing a REIT, may be performed by a taxable REIT

Page 64



subsidiary that is affiliated with either Landlord or Landlord’s property manager, an independent contractor of Landlord or Landlord’s property manager (the “Service Provider”). If Tenant is subject to a charge under this Lease for any such service, then, at Landlord’s direction, Tenant will pay such charge either to Landlord for further payment to the Service Provider or directly to the Service Provider, and, in either case, (i) Landlord will credit such payment against Additional Rent due from Tenant under this Lease for such service, and (ii) such payment to the Service Provider will not relieve Landlord from any obligation under the Lease concerning the provisions of such service.

9.22
Waiver of Trial By Jury
A.    To induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord or Tenant on any matters whatsoever arising out of or any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, including but not limited to, any summary process eviction action.

B.    To induce Tenant to enter into this Lease, Landlord hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord or Tenant on any matters whatsoever arising out of or any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, including but not limited to, any summary process eviction action.

9.23
Governing Law
This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the law of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as the same may from time to time exist.

9.24
Light and Air
Tenant agrees that no diminution of light, air or view by any structure (inside or outside the Building) which may hereafter be erected or modified (whether or not by Landlord) shall entitle Tenant to any reduction of rent hereunder, result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant, or in any other way affect this Lease.

9.25
Name of Building
Tenant shall not use the name of the Building or Office Park for any purpose other than as the address of the business conducted by Tenant in the Premises without the written consent of Landlord. Landlord reserves the right to change the name of the Building and/or the Office Park at any time in its sole discretion by written notice to Tenant and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, cost or expense on account of any such change of name.

Page 65




9.26
Right of First Offer

Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.26, and subject to (i) any and all rights of tenants in the Office Park to lease the Available Space (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the express expansion or extension provisions in their respective leases and (ii) Landlord’s right to renew or extend the lease of an existing tenant (whether or not they have renewal or extension options in their lease), if Landlord determines that at any time during this Lease any space on the third (3rd) floor south wing of the Building contiguous to the Premises (“Potential ROFO Space” and shown on Exhibit L attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference) becomes available for reletting (“Available Space”), and provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured under this Lease, (ii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, except as permitted under Section 5.6.4, and (iii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, Landlord agrees not to enter into a lease or leases to lease the Available Space without delivering to Tenant a notice (“Landlord’s ROFO Notice”) containing the date, as reasonably determined by Landlord, on which Landlord anticipates that the Available Space in question shall be available for delivery to Tenant, a plan showing the Available Space (and indicating the rentable square footage thereof), the Annual Fixed Rent, Base Operating Expenses and Base Taxes for the Available Space in question, and any work allowance, free rent period or other material business terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such Available Space. If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer, Tenant shall have the right to do so by delivering notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to lease the entire space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice (it being agreed that Tenant has no right to lease less than such entire space) on the terms provided herein (“Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”), provided Landlord receives Tenant’s Acceptance Notice not later than that date which is ten (10) days after the date of Landlord’s ROFO Notice, time being of the essence. If Tenant shall deliver a timely Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, then this Lease shall automatically be deemed amended to incorporate the Available Space into the Premises on such terms and conditions, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents; however, Landlord and Tenant agree within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice (or fifteen (15) days from the Broker Determination of Annual Fixed Rent, if Tenant requests the same pursuant to the terms hereof) to execute and deliver an amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord incorporating the Available Space into the Premises upon all of the same terms and conditions in this Lease, except that: (i) the Annual Fixed Rent, which shall be as set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice (or as determined by Broker Determination, if so requested by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof); (ii) all other terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be applicable to the Available Space; (iii) the lease term as to the Available Space shall be coterminous with the Term (as it may be extended pursuant to Section 9.18 of this Lease or as it may be earlier terminated under this Lease); and (iv) those provisions of this Lease which conflict with the specific terms set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be not applicable to the Available Space. If for any reason Tenant shall not so exercise such right within such period, time being of the essence in

respect to such exercise, Landlord shall be free to lease such Available Space to a third party.

In the event Tenant desires to exercise its right of first offer, but Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Annual Fixed Rent for the Available Space, Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s Acceptance Notice meeting the requirements set forth above within the time period specified above, but Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall also request a Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit K) for the Available Space, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit K. In any event, Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall be deemed to be the irrevocable exercise by Tenant of its right of first offer subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.26.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.26 to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to offer the Available Space in question for lease to Tenant, or to deliver a Landlord’s ROFO Notice to Tenant with respect thereto, nor shall Tenant have the right to lease the Available Space in question under the terms set forth herein or otherwise, or to receive a Landlord’s ROFO Notice with respect thereto, if Landlord determines that possession of the Available Space will not be available for delivery to Tenant until on or after that date which is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the original Term hereof, unless Tenant, having the right to do so, has theretofore properly exercised its right to extend the original Term of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.18 above.

Landlord hereby confirms that Private Healthcare Systems is the only current tenant whose leases contain expansion rights with respect to all or a portion of the Potential ROFO Space.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE dated as of this 24th day of March, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between BP BAY COLONY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

By Lease dated June 10, 2013 (the “Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did hire and lease from Landlord certain premises containing 32,217 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Existing Premises”) on the third (3rd) floor of the North Wing of the building (the “Building”) known as and numbered Bay Colony Corporate Center, 1100 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to herein as the “Existing Premises”).

Landlord and Tenant have agreed (i) to increase the size of the Existing Premises by adding thereto an additional 5,934 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises”) located on the third (3rd) floor of the North Wing of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “First Additional Premises”) and (ii) to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of one (1) year, upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except as otherwise provided in this First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment”).

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said leasing of the First Additional Premises to extend the Term of the Lease and to amend the Lease.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand this date paid by each of the parties to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to and with each other as follows:

1.
Effective as of the Effective Date (the “First Additional Premises Commencement Date”), the First Additional Premises shall constitute a part of the “Tenant’s Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease, so that the “Tenant’s Premises” and, by definition the “Premises” (as defined in Sections 1.1 and 2.1 of the Lease), shall include both the First Additional Premises and the Existing Premises.

2.
(A)    The Term of the Lease, which but for this First Amendment is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2018, is hereby extended for a period of one (1) year commencing on December 1, 2018 and expiring on November 30, 2019 (the "First Extended Term"), unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, upon all the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease as herein amended.

(B)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant shall continue to have the right to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years upon the expiration of

(C)    The Term of the Lease for the Existing Premises and the First Additional Premises shall be coterminous. Accordingly, the extension option contained in Section 9.18 of the Lease shall apply to the Existing Premises and the First Additional Premises collectively and not to either such space independently.

3.
(A)     (i)    Annual Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises through November 30, 2018 shall continue to be payable as set forth in the Lease.

(ii)    From the date which is one hundred and fifty (150) days subsequent to the Effective Date (the “First Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date”) through November 30, 2018, Annual Fixed Rent for the First Additional Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $222,525.00 (being the product of (i) $37.50 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises (being 5,934 square feet)).
        
(B)    During the First Extended Term, Annual Fixed Rent for the Premises (ie: the Existing Premises and the First Additional Premises) shall be payable at the annual rate of $1,468,813.50 (being the product of $38.50 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (being 38,151 square feet) (as hereinafter set forth in Section 4 below).

(C)    During the Second Extended Term (if exercised), Annual Fixed Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 9.18 of the Lease.

4.

For the portion of the Lease Term prior to the First Additional Premises Commencement Date, the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises” shall continue to be the Rentable Floor Area of the Existing Premises for such purposes.

5.
(A)     From and after the First Additional Premises Commencement Date for the purposes of computing Tenant's payments for operating expenses pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Lease with respect to the First Additional Premises, the following is hereby added to the definition of "Base Operating Expenses" contained in Section 1.1 of the Lease:

The definition of Base Taxes shall otherwise remain unchanged with respect to the Existing Premises.

(B)    Further, for purposes of determining and calculating the Tenant's obligations to make payment for real estate taxes pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Lease respecting the First Additional Premises, (i) all references in Section 2.7 of the Lease to the "Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the First Additional Premises; (ii) all references in Section 2.7 to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises; and (iii) in the definitions of "Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises" and "Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises" the reference to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall mean said Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises.

Section 3.1 of the Lease, as it pertains to the First Additional Premises only, shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following Section 3.1:

Page 3




Section 3.1    Preparation of the Premises

(A)    Tenant shall accept the First Additional Premises in their as-is condition without any obligation on the Landlord’s part to perform any additions, alterations, improvements, demolition or other work therein or pertaining thereto, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Lease. Landlord, however, agrees to deliver the First Additional Premises in broom clean condition free of all debris and personal property and free of all tenants and parties in possession.

(B)    The plans and specifications for the Tenant’s work on the First Additional Premises (the “Tenant’s Work”) have been approved by Landlord and are attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Plans”). Landlord’s approval of the Plans hereby constitutes approval under Section 5.12 of the Lease for Tenant’s alterations to the Premises. Notwithstanding Section 5.12 of the Lease, Tenant shall not be responsible for payment as Additional Rent of any fees in connection with Landlord’s review of the Plans and Tenant’s Work; provided, however, that Landlord reserves the right to engage a structural engineer for consultation in connection with the File Room shown on the Plans if Landlord deems necessary and Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for reasonable and actual fees associated with the same. Tenant shall have the right to change, modify or amend such Plans, subject to (i) the reasonable approval by Landlord of such changes, modifications or amendments, and (ii) to the payment of fees and costs stipulated in Section 5.12 of the Lease in connection with Landlord’s review of such amendments to the Plans. All such future approvals, or disapprovals with supporting specific reasons, for subsequent submittals of corrections or changes, shall be provided to Tenant within five (5) business days of Landlord’s receipt.
    
(C)    Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly, and with all due diligence, perform Tenant’s Work as set forth on the Plans, and, in connection therewith, Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Work. All of Tenant’s Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, strictly in accordance with the Plans, and in compliance with all Legal Requirements and all Insurance Requirements. Tenant shall have Tenant’s Work performed by contractors, reasonably approved by Landlord, which contractors shall provide to Landlord such insurance as required by Section 8.14 of the Lease. Landlord hereby acknowledges that it has approved the contractors listed on Exhibit C, attached hereto, to act as Tenant’s contractor with respect to Tenant’s Work. Landlord shall have the right, in accordance with Section 5.12 of the Lease, to provide such reasonable rules and regulations relative to the performance of Tenant’s Work and any other work which the Tenant may perform under the Lease and Tenant shall abide by all such reasonable rules and regulations and shall cause all of its contractors to so abide including, without limitation, payment for the costs of using Building electrical services and, if Tenant’s Work is performed other than during normal Building business hours, the cost of building engineer during such overtime hours. It shall be Tenant’s obligation to obtain a certificate of occupancy or other like governmental approval for the use and occupancy of the First Additional

Page 4



Premises to the extent required by law, and Tenant shall not occupy the First Additional Premises for the conduct of business until and unless it has obtained such approval and has submitted to Landlord a copy of the same together with waivers of lien from all of Tenant’s contractors in form adequate for recording purposes. Tenant shall also prepare and submit to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s Work is substantially complete a set of as-built plans in both print and electronic forms showing the work performed by Tenant to the Premises including, without limitation, any wiring or cabling installed by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor for Tenant’s computer, telephone and other communication systems.

(D)    Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is acting for its own benefit and account and that Tenant will not be acting as Landlord’s agent in performing any Tenant Work, accordingly, no contractor, subcontractor or supplier shall have a right to lien Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with any work.

(E)    Landlord shall provide to Tenant a special allowance equal to Three Hundred Eighty One Thousand Five Hundred Ten and 00/100 Dollars ($381,510.00) (being the product of (i) $10.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises (the “Tenant Allowance”)).

The Tenant Allowance shall be used and applied by Tenant solely toward the following (collectively, “Costs”): (i) the costs of labor and materials incurred in the performance of Tenant’s Work, any other work contemplated by the Plans, any other work to integrate the First Additional Premises into the Existing Premises, and any other work approved by the Landlord on the Premises, and (ii) architectural and engineering fees and expenses and the cost of telecommunications and AV wiring incurred in connection with the design of Tenant’s Work, provided, however, that such costs shall be payable from Tenant’s Allowance up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $44,505.00.

As a condition precedent to the disbursement of any payments on account of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate signed by Tenant specifying the total amount of all Costs of Tenant’s Work, including architectural and engineering fees and expenses, and identifying all design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors and suppliers involved with Tenant’s Work (the “Tenant’s Costs Certificate”). Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any material change in the total amount of all Costs of Tenant’s Work as reflected in Tenant’s Costs Certificate.

(F)    For the purposes hereof, a “Requisition” shall mean written documentation (including invoices from all applicable Tenant’s design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors and suppliers, and such other documentation as Landlord’s mortgagee may reasonably request) showing in reasonable detail the Tenant’s Work completed to date and the cost of all of the items, services and work covered thereby.

Each Requisition shall be accompanied by (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all of the items, services and work covered by such Requisition have been

Page 5



fully paid by Tenant, (ii) executed lien waivers (partial or final, as applicable) in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit D from all persons or entities that might have a lien as a result of performing any such services or work or furnishing any such items, (iii) a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect certifying that the Tenant’s Work reflected in such Requisition has been completed substantially in accordance with the approved Plans, and (iv) a certificate signed by Tenant certifying that the amount of the such Requisition does not exceed the cost of the items, services and work covered thereby. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit Requisition(s) no more often than once every thirty (30) days.

Provided and on condition that, as of the date on which Tenant submits to Landlord any Requisition (together with all required supporting documentation) (i) Tenant has delivered Tenant’s Costs Certificate to Landlord, (ii) Tenant has submitted such Requisition to Landlord not later than the date that is Three Hundred Sixty-Five (365) days after the Effective Date, (iii) there exists no Event of Default, and (iv) there are no liens (unless bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord) against Tenant’s interest in the Lease or against the Building or the Site arising out of Tenant’s Work or any litigation in which Tenant is a party, then Landlord shall pay the Costs shown on such Requisition within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt thereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to pay or otherwise fund any amount in excess of the Tenant Allowance.

(G)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

(i)    In addition to the other requirements applicable to Requisitions generally, as set forth in Section 8(F) above, it is understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to pay Tenant’s final Requisition, unless and until (a) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a final set of record drawings for Tenant’s Work, (b) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a certificate of substantial completion signed by Tenant’s general contractor and (c) a certificate of occupancy has been approved for issuance by the applicable governmental authority respecting the First Additional Premises.

(ii)    Landlord shall in no event be deemed, by undertaking to pay the Tenant Allowance or otherwise, to have assumed any obligations, in whole or in part, of Tenant to any design professionals, consultants, contractors, vendors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, workers, materialmen or other third parties.

(iii)    Except with respect to work and/or materials previously paid for by Tenant, as evidenced by paid invoices and written lien waivers provided to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to have portions of the Tenant Allowance paid to directly to Tenant’s design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors or suppliers.


Page 6



(iv)    In the event that Costs are less than the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit, nor shall there be any application of the same toward Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent owed by Tenant under the Lease.


9.
As of the Effective Date, the “Potential ROFO Space” (defined in Section 9.26 of the Lease) shall be amended to be the (i) approximate 6,500 square feet of space and (ii) approximate 4,000 square feet of space located on the second (2nd) floor South Wing of the Building as shown on Exhibit E attached hereto (and such Exhibit E shall replace Exhibit L attached to the Lease).

10.
As of the date hereof, Landlord is holding a security deposit in the amount of $400,000.00 (the “Security Deposit”) in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”) in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 9.19 of the Lease (“Section 9.19”). Section 9.19 provides that Landlord shall return $100,000.00 of the Security Deposit to Tenant on September 19, 2015 (the “Return Date”) so that the remainder of such Security Deposit is $300,000.00 provided Tenant has met the conditions for such return as stated in Section 9.19. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to extend such Return Date to September 19, 2016 and as of the extended Return Date, Landlord shall return a $100,000.00 portion of such Security Deposit to Tenant as provided in Section 9.19 so long as Tenant has met all of the conditions for such return as stated in Section 9.19.

11.
(A)    Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this First Amendment except Colliers International (the “Broker”) and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with any brokers other than the Broker, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.

(B)    Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this First Amendment, other than the Broker, and in the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection first approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the Broker for the First Extended Term as further outlined in a separate agreement between Landlord and the Broker.

12.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Lease.

RECITALS

By Lease dated June 10, 2013 (the "Original Lease"), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did hire and lease from Landlord certain premises containing 32,217 square feet of rentable floor area on the third (3rd) floor of the building (the "Building") known as and numbered Bay Colony Corporate Center, 1100 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to herein as the "Original Premises").

By First Amendment to Lease dated as of March 24, 2015 (the "First Amendment"), Landlord and Tenant (i) increased the size of the Original Premises by adding thereto an additional 5,934 square feet of rentable floor area located on the third (3rd) floor of the North Wing of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached to the First Amendment (the "First Additional Premises" and together with the Original Premises, the "Existing Premises") and (ii) extended the Term of the Original Lease for a period of one (1) year, upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Original Lease except as otherwise provided in the First Amendment to Lease.

Landlord and Tenant presently are negotiating an amendment to the Lease (the "Third Amendment"), which, if and when executed, is anticipated to (i) increase the size of the Existing Premises by adding thereto an additional 21,000 square feet of rentable floor area located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building (the "Second Additional Premises"), and (ii) extend the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) year(s) from the date upon which Tenant's Annual Fixed Rent obligations commence with respect to the Second Additional Premises.

In connection with negotiating the Third Amendment, Landlord and Tenant have agreed that Landlord shall provide Tenant with certain temporary premises containing 6,452 square feet of rentable floor area on the second (2nd) floor of the Building (the "Temporary Premises"), substantially as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto, upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except as otherwise provided in this Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”).

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said demise of the Temporary Premises, to extend the Term of the Lease and to amend the Lease.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand this date paid by each of the parties to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual promises herein contained , Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to and with each other as follows:

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE

THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE dated as of this 7th day of December, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), by and between BP BAY COLONY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).

RECITALS

By Lease dated June 10, 2013 (the “Original Lease”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did hire and lease from Landlord certain premises containing 32,217 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Original Premises”) on the third (3rd) floor of the building (the “Building”) known as and numbered Bay Colony Corporate Center, 1100 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts (referred to herein as the “Original Premises”).

By First Amendment to Lease dated as of March 24, 2015 (the “First Amendment”), Landlord and Tenant (i) increased the size of the Original Premises by adding thereto an additional 5,934 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises”) located on the third (3rd) floor of the North Wing of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached to the First Amendment (the “First Additional Premises” and together with the Original Premises, the “Existing Premises”) and (ii) extended the Term of the Original Lease for a period of one (1) year, upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Original Lease except as otherwise provided in the First Amendment to Lease. The Rentable Floor Area of the Original Premises, together with the Rentable Floor Area of the First Additional Premises, contains 38,151 square feet of rentable floor area (collectively referred to herein as the “Rentable Floor Area of the Existing Premises”).

By Second Amendment to Lease dated as of November 3, 2015 (the “Second Amendment”), Landlord did lease to Tenant and Tenant did hire and lease from Landlord, on a temporary basis, certain premises containing 6,452 square feet of rentable floor area on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached to the Second Amendment (the “Temporary Premises”), upon all of the same terms and conditions set forth in the Lease except as otherwise provided in the Second Amendment.

Landlord and Tenant have agreed (i) to increase the size of the Existing Premises by adding thereto an additional 21,154 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises”) located on the second (2nd) floor of the Building, which space is shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Second Additional Premises”), (ii) to modify the Temporary Premises Termination Date as defined in the Second Amendment, and (iii) to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of five (5) year(s) from the Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), upon all of the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease except as otherwise provided in this Third Amendment to Lease (the “Third Amendment”).

Landlord and Tenant are entering into this instrument to set forth said leasing of the Second Additional Premises and said modification of the Temporary Premises Termination Date, to extend the Term of the Lease and to amend the Lease.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration in hand this date paid by each of the parties to the other, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby severally acknowledged, and in further consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to and with each other as follows:

Page 1





Page 2




1.    Effective as of the date (the “Second Additional Premises Commencement Date”) upon which Landlord delivers the Second Additional Premises to Tenant with the Landlord’s Work (as hereinafter defined) completed, the Second Additional Premises shall constitute a part of the “Tenant’s Premises” demised to Tenant under the Lease, so that the “Tenant’s Premises” and, by definition the “Premises” (as defined in Sections 1.1 and 2.1 of the Lease), shall include both the Second Additional Premises and the Existing Premises. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete Landlord’s Work by January 1, 2016 (the “Estimated Completion Date”). If Landlord shall have failed substantially to complete Landlord’s Work on or before the date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the Estimated Completion Date (which date shall be extended automatically for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing the same by reason of Force Majeure as defined in Section 6.1 or any Tenant Delay (as defined below) without limiting Landlord's other rights on account thereof), the Annual Fixed Rent and Tenant’s payments on account of operating expenses and real estate taxes shall be abated by one (1) day for each day beyond the date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the Estimated Completion Date (as so extended) that Landlord thus fails to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work. The foregoing rent abatement right shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity or otherwise for Landlord’s failure to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work within the time periods set forth above. For the purposes of this paragraph, a “Tenant Delay” is a delay that is caused by (A) Tenant’s failure to timely respond to any request from Landlord, Landlord’s architect, Landlord’s contractor and/or Landlord’s Construction Representative within the time periods set forth in Section 7 of this Third Amendment or in the Work Agreement attached as Exhibit B-1 to the Original Lease, or (B) any other delays caused by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects, engineers, or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Second Additional Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, including, without limitation, utility companies and other entities furnishing communications, data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture which continues for more than two (2) business days after notice from Landlord.

2.    (A)    The Term of the Lease, which but for this Second Amendment is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2019, is hereby extended for a period (the "Second Extended Term") commencing on December 1, 2019 and expiring on the date which is five (5) years after the Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date (as defined in Section 3 below), unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, upon all the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease as herein amended.

(B)    Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant shall continue to have the right to extend the Term of the Lease for one (1) period of five (5) years upon the expiration of the Second Extended Term in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended by Section 2 of the First Amendment) except that (i) all references to the “Extended Term” shall be replaced with “Third Extended Term” and (ii) Exhibit K attached to the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(C)    The Term of the Lease for the Existing Premises and the Second Additional Premises shall be coterminous. Accordingly, the extension option contained in Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended by Section 2 of the First Amendment and as amended hereby) shall apply to the Existing Premises and the Second Additional Premises collectively and not to either such space independently.

3.    (A)    (i)    Annual Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises through November 30, 2019 shall continue to be payable as set forth in the Lease.


Page 3



(ii)    From the date which is the earlier to occur of (a) Tenant’s occupancy of the Second Additional Premises for business purposes and (b) June 1, 2016 (such earlier date to occur being the “Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date”) through November 30, 2018, Annual
Fixed Rent for the Second Additional Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $761,544.00 (being the product of (i) $36.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises (being 21,154 square feet)).

(iii)    From December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2019, Annual Fixed Rent for the Second Additional Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $782,698.00 (being the product of (i) $37.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises (being 21,154 square feet)).

(B)    (i)    During the Second Extended Term, Annual Fixed Rent for the Existing Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $1,526,040.00 (being the product of $40.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Existing Premises (being 38,151 square feet)).

(ii)    During the Second Extended Term, Annual Fixed Rent for the Second Additional Premises shall be payable at the annual rate of $803,852.00 (being the product of (i) $38.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises (being 21,154 square feet)).

(C)    During the Third Extended Term (if exercised), Annual Fixed Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended).

4.    (A)    From and after the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date for the purposes of computing Tenant's payments for operating expenses pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Lease with respect to the Second Additional Premises, the following is hereby added to the definition of "Base Operating Expenses" contained in Section 1.1 of the Lease:

“Base Operating Expenses: With respect to the Second Additional Premises only, Landlord's Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined in Section 2.6) for calendar year 2016, being the period from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.”

The definition of Base Operating Expenses shall remain unchanged with respect to the Existing Premises.

(B)    Further, for purposes of determining and calculating Tenant's payments for operating expenses pursuant to Section 2.6 of the Lease respecting the Second Additional Premises, (i) all references in Section 2.6 of the Lease to the "Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the Second Additional Premises; (ii) all references in Section 2.6 of the Lease to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises; and (iii) in the definitions of "Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises" and "Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises", the reference to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall mean said Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises.

5.    (A)     From and after the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date, for the purposes of computing Tenant's payments for real estate taxes pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Lease with respect to the Second Additional Premises, the following is hereby added to the definition of "Base Taxes" contained in Section 1.1 of the Lease:


Page 4



“Base Taxes: With respect to the Second Additional Premises only, Landlord's Tax Expenses (as hereinafter defined in Section 2.7) for fiscal tax year 2017, being the period from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.”

The definition of Base Taxes shall remain unchanged with respect to the Existing Premises.

Page 5




(B)    Further, for purposes of determining and calculating the Tenant's obligations to make payment for real estate taxes pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Lease respecting the Second Additional Premises, (i) all references in Section 2.7 of the Lease to the "Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the Second Additional Premises; (ii) all references in Section 2.7 to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall be deemed to be references to the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises; and (iii) in the definitions of "Landlord's Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises" and "Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises" the reference to the "Rentable Floor Area of the Premises" shall mean said Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises.

6.    Effective as of the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date, the definition of “Number of Parking Spaces” contained in Section 1.1 of the Lease (as amended by Section 7 of the First Amendment) shall be deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor:

“One hundred and seventy-eight (178) (being three (3) spaces per 1,000 square feet of Rentable Floor Area of the Premises).”

7.    Section 3.1 of the Lease, as it pertains to the Second Additional Premises only, shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following Section 3.1:

“Section 3.1    Preparation of the Premises

3.1    Tenant’s Work

(A)
Tenant shall accept the Second Additional Premises in their as-is condition without any obligation on the Landlord’s part to perform any additions, alterations, improvements, demolition or other work therein or pertaining thereto; provided, however that prior to delivery of the Second Additional Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, without inclusion as Landlord’s Operating Expenses, complete demolition within the Second Additional Premises, complete certain premises entry work and perform certain work to infill certain of the skylights within the Second Additional Premises, which shall result in the addition of certain new space (but such work shall not result in any change to the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises as described above), as further described in Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Landlord’s Work”). Except with respect to the Landlord’s Work, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform all work necessary, in Tenant’s judgment, to prepare the Second Additional Premises for Tenant’s occupancy in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by Sierra Architects and attached hereto as Exhibit D provided, however, that within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, Tenant shall provide to Landlord for approval mechanical plans for Tenant’s work stamped by McNamara Salvia (as the plans at Exhibit D and the mechanical plans may be modified by any changes described below). If Tenant wishes to use a different architect, Tenant shall select an architect licensed by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and reasonably approved by Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to change, modify or amend such Plans, subject to (i) the reasonable approval by

Page 6



Landlord of such changes, modifications or amendments, and (ii) the payment of costs stipulated in Subsection 3.1(B) of the Lease in connection with Landlord’s review of such amendments to the Plans. All such future approvals, or disapprovals with supporting specific reasons, for subsequent submittals of corrections or changes, shall be provided to Tenant within seven (7) business days of Landlord’s receipt.

(B)    Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly, and with all due diligence, perform Tenant’s Work as set forth on the Plans, and, in connection therewith, the Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental permits and approvals for Tenant’s Work. All of Tenant’s Work shall be performed strictly in accordance with the Plans and in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 3.1(C) hereof) and Insurance Requirements (as defined in Section 5.12 of the Lease). Tenant shall have Tenant’s Work performed by Chapman Construction or another contractor or contractors, reasonably approved by Landlord, which contractors shall provide to Landlord such insurance as required by Section 8.14 of the Lease. Landlord shall have the right to provide reasonable rules and regulations relative to the performance of Tenant’s Work and any other work which the Tenant may perform under the Lease and Tenant shall abide by all such reasonable rules and regulations and shall cause all of its contractors to so abide including, without limitation, payment for the costs of using Building services; provided, however, that in the event of a conflict between said rules and regulations and the terms of the Lease, the terms of the Lease shall govern. It shall be Tenant’s obligation to obtain a certificate of occupancy or other like governmental approval for the use and occupancy of the Second Additional Premises to the extent required by law, and Tenant shall not occupy the Second Additional Premises for the conduct of business until and unless it has obtained such approval and has submitted to Landlord a copy of the same together with waivers of lien from all of Tenant’s contractors in form adequate for recording purposes. Tenant shall also prepare and submit to Landlord promptly after Tenant’s Work is substantially complete a set of as-built plans in both print and electronic forms showing the work performed by Tenant to the Second Additional Premises, but excluding any wiring or cabling installed by Tenant or Tenant’s contractor for Tenant’s computer, telephone and other communication systems. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to the reasonable third party expenses incurred by Landlord to review Tenant’s Plans and Tenant’s Work (Landlord hereby agreeing to cap any plan review costs relating to interior, non-structural alterations, additions or improvements that do not impact Building systems at $6,000.00 in connection with any single request for approval).

(C)    All construction work required or permitted by the Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, statutes, by-laws, court decisions, and orders and requirements of all public authorities (“Legal Requirements”) and all Insurance Requirements (as defined in Section 5.12 of the Lease); provided, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to make any changes to the Building (other than the Premises) related to Tenant’s Work, except to the extent such changes are necessitated solely by Tenant’s Work. All of Tenant’s work shall be coordinated with any work being performed by or for Landlord and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations. Each party may inspect the work of the other at reasonable times and shall promptly give notice of observed defects.

Page 7



Each party authorizes the other to rely in connection with design and construction upon approval and other actions on the party’s behalf by any Construction Representative of the party named herein or any person hereafter designated in substitution or addition by notice to the party relying. Landlord hereby appoints Luke Bowen as Landlord’s Construction Representative, and Tenant hereby appoints Nathan McBride as Tenant’s Construction Representative. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant is acting for its own benefit and account and that Tenant will not be acting as Landlord’s agent in performing any Tenant Work, accordingly, no contractor, subcontractor or supplier shall have a right to lien Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with any work. Except to the
extent to which Tenant shall have given Landlord notice of any defects or any errors and omissions in Landlord’s Work not later than the end of the eleventh (11th) full calendar month next beginning after the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date, Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to have approved Landlord’s Work and shall have no claim that Landlord has failed to perform any of Landlord’s Work. Landlord agrees to correct or repair at its expense items which are then incomplete or do not conform to the requirements of Landlord’s Work and as to which, in either case, Tenant shall have given notice to Landlord, as aforesaid.

(D)    Landlord shall provide to Tenant a special allowance equal to Eight Hundred Forty-Six Thousand One Hundred Sixty and 00/100 Dollars ($846,160.00) (being the product of (i) $40.00 and (ii) the Rentable Floor Area of the Second Additional Premises (the “Tenant Allowance”)).

The Tenant Allowance shall be used and applied by Tenant solely toward the following (collectively, “Costs”): (i) the costs of labor and materials incurred in the performance of Tenant’s Work, any other work contemplated by the Plans, any other work to integrate the Second Additional Premises into the Existing Premises, and any other work approved by the Landlord on the Premises, and (ii) architectural and engineering fees and expenses and the cost of telecommunications and AV wiring, in each case incurred in connection with Tenant’s Work, provided, however, that the costs in this subsection (ii) shall be payable from Tenant’s Allowance up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $169,232.00.

As a condition precedent to the disbursement of any payments on account of the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate signed by Tenant specifying the total amount of all Costs of Tenant’s Work, including architectural and engineering fees and expenses, and identifying all design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors and suppliers involved with Tenant’s Work (the “Tenant’s Costs Certificate”). Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of any material change in the total amount of all Costs of Tenant’s Work as reflected in Tenant’s Costs Certificate.

(E)    For the purposes hereof, a “Requisition” shall mean written documentation (including invoices from all applicable Tenant’s design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors and suppliers, and such other documentation as the mortgagee of Landlord, if any, may reasonably request) showing in reasonable detail the Tenant’s Work completed to date and the cost of all of the items, services and work covered thereby.


Page 8



Each Requisition shall be accompanied by (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all of the items, services and work covered by such Requisition have been fully paid by Tenant, (ii) executed lien waivers (partial or final, as applicable) in the forms attached hereto as Exhibit E from all persons or entities that might have a lien as a result of performing any such services or work or furnishing any such items, (iii) a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect certifying that the Tenant’s Work reflected in such Requisition has been completed substantially in accordance with the approved Plans, and (iv) a certificate signed by Tenant certifying that the amount of the such Requisition does not exceed the cost of the items, services and work covered thereby. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount
thereof. Tenant shall submit Requisition(s) no more often than once every thirty (30) days.

Provided and on condition that, as of the date on which Tenant submits to Landlord any Requisition (together with all required supporting documentation) (i) Tenant has delivered Tenant’s Costs Certificate to Landlord, (ii) Tenant has submitted such Requisition to Landlord not later than the date that is Three Hundred Sixty-Five (365) days after the Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date, (iii) there exists no Event of Default, and (iv) there are no liens (unless bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord) against Tenant’s interest in the Lease or against the Building or the Site arising out of Tenant’s Work or any litigation in which Tenant is a party, then Landlord shall pay the Costs shown on such Requisition within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt thereof; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to pay or otherwise fund any amount in excess of the Tenant Allowance.

(F)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

(i)    In addition to the other requirements applicable to Requisitions generally, as set forth in Section 3.1(E) above, it is understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to pay Tenant’s final Requisition, unless and until (a) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a final set of record drawings for Tenant’s Work, (b) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a certificate of substantial completion signed by Tenant’s architect, (c) Tenant has executed the Declaration Affixing the Commencement Date of the Second Additional Premises in the form annexed to this Second Amendment as Exhibit F and (d) a certificate of occupancy (which may be a temporary certificate of occupancy, provided that Tenant shall thereafter diligently satisfy all conditions to obtaining a permanent certificate of occupancy) in a timely manner has been approved for issuance by the applicable governmental authority respecting the Second Additional Premises.

(ii)    Landlord shall in no event be deemed, by undertaking to pay the Tenant Allowance or otherwise, to have assumed any obligations, in whole or in part, of Tenant to any design professionals, consultants, contractors, vendors, service providers, subcontractors, suppliers, workers, materialmen or other third parties.

(iii)    Except with respect to work and/or materials previously paid for by Tenant, as evidenced by paid invoices and written lien waivers provided to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to have portions of the Tenant

Page 9



Allowance paid to directly to Tenant’s design professionals, consultants, contractors, service providers, subcontractors or suppliers.

(iv)    In the event that Costs are less than the Tenant Allowance, Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment or credit, nor shall there be any application of the same toward Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent owed by Tenant under the Lease.”

8.    Section 9.26 of the Lease (as amended by Section 9 of the First Amendment) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“9.26    Right of First Offer

(A)    Subject to the provisions of this Section 9.26, and subject to (i) any and
all rights of tenants in the Office Park to lease the Expansion Space (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the express expansion or extension rights in their respective leases and (ii) Landlord’s right to renew or extend the lease of an existing tenant in the Expansion Space (whether or not they have renewal or extension options in their respective leases), and provided that (x) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured under the Lease, (y) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet more than 33% of the Premises, except as permitted under Section 5.6.4, and (z) the Lease is still in force and effect, Landlord agrees that during the Term, upon the occurrence of the Expansion Notice Trigger Date (as hereinafter defined), Landlord will give written notice to Tenant offering to lease the Expansion Space to Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.26 (“Landlord’s ROFO Notice”). Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall specify the estimated delivery date of the Expansion Space, the Annual Fixed Rent, Base Operating Expenses and Base Taxes for the Expansion Space, and any work allowance, free rent period or other material business terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease the Expansion Space.

(B)    If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer, Tenant shall have the right to do so by delivering notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to lease the entire space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice (it being agreed that Tenant has no right to lease less than such entire space) (the “Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”), provided Landlord receives Tenant’s Acceptance Notice not later than that date which is ten (10) days after the date of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s ROFO Notice, time being of the essence. If Tenant shall deliver a timely Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, then the Lease shall automatically be deemed amended to incorporate the Expansion Space into the Premises on such terms and conditions, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents; provided, however, Landlord and Tenant agree within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice (or fifteen (15) days from the Broker Determination of Annual Fixed Rent, if Tenant requests the same pursuant to the terms hereof) to execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant incorporating the Expansion Space into the Premises upon all of the same terms and conditions in the Lease, except that: (i) the Annual Fixed Rent, which shall be as set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice or as otherwise agreed by the parties during the Negotiation Period (or as determined by Broker Determination, if so requested by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be applicable to the Expansion Space; (ii) all other terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be applicable to the Expansion Space; (iii) the lease term as to the Expansion Space shall be

Page 10



coterminous with the Term (as it may be extended pursuant to Section 2 of this Second Amendment, or as it may be earlier terminated under the Lease); and (iv) those provisions of the Lease which conflict with the specific terms set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall not be applicable to the Expansion Space. If for any reason Tenant shall not so exercise such right within such period, time being of the essence with respect to such exercise, Landlord shall be free to lease the Expansion Space to a third party.

(C)    In the event Tenant desires to exercise its right of first offer, but Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Annual Fixed Rent for the Expansion Space, Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, meeting the requirements set forth above within the time period specified above, but Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall also indicate that Tenant so disagrees, whereupon the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) days (the “Negotiation Period”) from the date upon which Landlord receives Tenant’s Acceptance Notice to agree upon the Annual Fixed Rent. If the parties do not so agree within the Negotiation Period, then
Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given to Landlord within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to submit the Annual Fixed Rent for the Expansion Space to a Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit B), which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit B. In any event, Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall be deemed to be the irrevocable exercise by Tenant of its right of first offer subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.26.

(D)    If Landlord determines that possession of the Expansion Space will not be available for delivery to Tenant until on or after that date which is twelve (12) months prior to the end of the Second Extended Term, then: (i) if Tenant has no further right to extend the Term of the Lease (i.e. because Tenant's right to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 2 above and Section 9.18 of the Lease has been irrevocably waived by Tenant or has lapsed unexercised), then Landlord shall not be obligated to offer the Expansion Space for lease to Tenant, or to deliver a Landlord’s ROFO Notice to Tenant with respect thereto, nor shall Tenant have a right to lease the Expansion Space under the terms set forth herein or otherwise, or to receive a Landlord’s ROFO Notice with respect thereto, and (ii) if Tenant then has a right to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 2 above and Section 9.18 of the Lease which has not either lapsed unexercised or been irrevocably waived, then Landlord shall deliver a Landlord’s ROFO Notice to Tenant with respect thereto, but Tenant shall have no right to lease such Expansion Space unless, prior to, or simultaneously with, the giving of Tenant's Acceptance Notice, Tenant exercises such extension option, which option may be exercised without regard to any time periods for such exercise set forth in Section 2 above and Section 9.18 of the Lease so long as it is sent in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in this Section 9.26.(D)(ii). Notwithstanding Tenant's exercise of its extension option in accordance with the foregoing, the Annual Fixed Rent for the original Premises for such Extended Term shall be determined at the same time and in the same manner such Annual Fixed Rent would have been determined if Tenant had exercised the extension option within the time periods for such exercise set forth in Section 2 above and Section 9.18 of the Lease.

(E)    As used in this Section 9.26, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:


Page 11



(i)    “Expansion Space” shall be approximately 16,564 square feet of rentable floor area on the first (1st) floor of the Building, as shown on Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(ii)    “Expansion Notice Trigger Date” shall mean the date on which Landlord reaches a stage in negotiations with a third party to lease the Expansion Space that Landlord reasonably believes in good faith could result in the execution of a letter of intent to lease such space with such third party within fourteen (14) days.”

9.    Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right to increase the existing generator serving the Premises, including expanding the slab therefor, subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation, Section 5.12 thereof.

10.    Section 2(A)(ii) of the Second Amendment is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is inserted in place thereof:

“(ii)    The termination date in respect of the Temporary Premises (“Temporary
Premises Termination Date”) shall be the date that is the earlier to occur of (i) five (5) days after the Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date and (ii) the date that is seven (7) months after the Second Additional Premises Commencement Date.”

11.    Section 9.19 of the Lease (as amended by Section 10 of the First Amendment) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“9.19    Security Deposit.

(A)    (i)    The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that Landlord is currently holding a security deposit in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($400,000.00) (the “Existing Security Deposit”) in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit issued by Bank of America, N.A. (the “Letter of Credit”). In consideration of Landlord’s agreement to extend the Term of the Lease and to lease the Second Additional Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, an additional security deposit in the amount of One Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($195,434.00) (the “Additional Security Deposit” and collectively with the Existing Security Deposit, the “Security Deposit”) such that the total security deposit held by Landlord under the Lease shall be Five Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($595,434.00). Such Additional Security Deposit shall be either in the form of an additional irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letter of credit meeting the requirements of this Section 9.19, or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit increasing the face amount thereof to Five Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($595,434.00).

(ii)    Tenant agrees that Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit, throughout the Term of the Lease (including any extension thereof), as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed. Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to apply such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from any Event of Default. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of

such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deliver cash to Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in this Section 9.19. While Landlord holds such deposit, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under the Lease, the deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, may be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee, and, if so turned over, Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.19, and the return thereof in accordance herewith.

(iii)    Tenant shall have the right to provide such security deposit in one or two letters of credit, as described in Section 9.19(A)(i), and in the form of irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letters of credit (each, a “Letter of Credit”). Each Letter of Credit shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service, (ii) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent that pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Landlord is entitled to
draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge, and (v) provide that any notices to Landlord be sent to the notice address provided for Landlord in the Lease. If the credit rating for the issuer of a Letter of Credit falls below the standard set forth in (i) above or if the financial condition of an issuer changes in any other material adverse way, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to provide the same within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the subject Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of two (2) years (or for one (1) year if the issuer thereof regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for a maximum term of one (1) year) and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the date which is ninety (90) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of the Lease (as the same may be extended) or if the issuer will not grant automatic renewals, each Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Tenant each year and each such renewal shall be delivered to and received by Landlord not later than sixty (60) days before the expiration of the then current Letter of Credit (herein called a “Renewal Presentation Date”). In the event of a failure to so deliver any such renewal Letter of Credit on or before the applicable Renewal Presentation Date, Landlord shall be entitled to present the then existing Letter of Credit for payment and to receive the proceeds thereof, which proceeds shall be held as Tenant’s security deposit, subject to the terms of this Section 9.19. Any failure or refusal to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation hereunder with regard to the security deposit. Upon the receipt by Landlord of one or more Letters of Credit meeting the requirements set forth herein, Landlord shall return to Tenant any cash security deposit then being held by Landlord, and thereafter each Letter of Credit shall be held by Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9.19 as security for Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

(B)    (i)    Landlord shall return a One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollar ($100,000.00) portion of such deposit to Tenant so that the remainder of such deposit

Page 13



shall be Four Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand Four Hundred Thirty-Four and 00/100 Dollars ($495,434.00) (or if such deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, Landlord shall either exchange the Letter of Credit for a Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant or accept an amendment to such Letter of Credit, in either case which reduces the amount secured by the Letter of Credit by $100,000.00) on September 19, 2016; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred under the Lease and remains uncured as of September 19, 2016, and (ii) Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Landlord's damages arising from any Event of Default, whether or not Tenant has restored the amount so applied by Landlord.

(ii)    Landlord shall return a Sixty-Five Thousand One Hundred Forty-Five and 00/100 Dollar ($65,145.00) portion of such deposit to Tenant so that the remainder of such deposit shall be Four Hundred Thirty Thousand Two Hundred Eighty-Nine and 00/100 Dollars ($430,289.00) (or if such deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, Landlord shall either exchange the Letter of Credit for a Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant or accept an amendment to such Letter of Credit, in either case which reduces the amount secured by the Letter of Credit by $65,145.00 and otherwise in strict conformity with the requirements herein) on the first (1st) anniversary of the Second Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease and remains uncured as of such first (1st) anniversary, and (ii) Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, to Landlord's damages
arising from any Event of Default, whether or not Tenant has restored the amount so applied by Landlord.

(iii)    If Tenant believes that it has satisfied all the conditions precedent to a reduction in the amount of the Security Deposit, then it shall request such reduction in writing to Landlord, which request shall certify to Landlord that all such conditions have been satisfied. If Landlord determines that all of the aforesaid conditions are met, the Security Deposit shall be so reduced in accordance with this Section 9.19. No Letter of Credit shall automatically reduce, but any reduction in the amount thereof shall require Landlord’s prior written notice to the issuer of the applicable Letter of Credit of the reduced amount. Promptly after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for a reduction as described above, Landlord shall determine whether such a reduction is permitted in accordance with this Section 9.19, and if it is, Landlord shall notify the issuer of the applicable Letter of Credit of the amount to which the Letter of Credit shall be reduced.

(iv)    Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under the Lease, including the payment of all Annual Fixed Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.19, to Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Lease (as the same may have been extended) and surrender possession of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord in the condition required in the Lease at such time.

(v)    Neither the holder of any mortgage nor the lessor in any ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor.”

12.    (A)    Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Third Amendment except Colliers International (the “Broker”) and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with any brokers other than the Broker, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.

(B)    Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Third Amendment, other than the Broker, and in the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection first approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the Broker, for the Second Extended Term as further outlined in a separate agreement between Landlord and the Broker.

13.    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Lease.

7.Condition of the Third Additional Premises. The condition of the Third Additional Premises upon the Third Additional Premises Commencement Date along with any work to be performed by either Landlord or Tenant shall be as set forth in the Third Additional Premises Work Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 and made a part hereof.

The Expansion Premises contain approximately 3,434 square feet of rentable floor area (the “Rentable Floor Area of the Expansion Premises”).

(A)Exercise of Rights to the Expansion Premises. Tenant may exercise its option to lease the Expansion Premises by giving written notice (the “Expansion Notice”) to Landlord not later than April 30, 2018, time being of the essence, of its election to exercise its expansion option for the Expansion Premises.

Page 4



demise to Tenant, and Tenant shall hire and take from Landlord, the Expansion Premises, without the need for further act or deed by either party, for the term and upon all of the same terms and conditions of this Lease (except as hereinafter set forth in this Section 8) and the Expansion Premises shall become part of the Premises commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and continuing for the duration of the Lease Term (as the same may be extended).

i.    Expansion Premises Commencement Date. If Tenant timely gives Landlord the Expansion Notice, then Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant on the first (1st) business day immediately following the date of the Expansion Notice (the “Expansion Premises Commencement Date”), and the Expansion Premises shall be added to and become part of the Premises as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date.

ii.    Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date.

iii.    Term. The Term of the Lease with respect to the Expansion Premises shall be coterminous with the remainder of the Premises (i.e., the Existing Premises and the Third Additional Premises). Accordingly, the extension option contained in Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended by Section 2 of the First Amendment and as further amended by Section 2 of the Third Amendment) shall apply to the Existing Premises, the Third Additional Premises, and the Expansion Premises collectively and not to any such space or spaces independently.

Tenant shall accept the Expansion Premises in their then as-is condition (i.e., as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date) without any obligation on the Landlord’s part to perform any additions, alterations, improvements, demolition or other work therein or pertaining thereto; provided, however, that Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Premises to Tenant broom clean and free of all tenants, occupants and personal property and with all Building systems serving the Expansion Premises in good working order.

(C)Amendment. Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s exercise of the above-described expansion option shall be self-executing as aforesaid, the parties hereby agree promptly to execute a lease amendment reflecting the addition of Expansion Premises to the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.

9.Brokerage.

Page 5

    


Landlord’s right to renew or extend the lease of any then existing tenant in what would


Page 6

    


otherwise have been Available Space (whether or not they have renewal or extension options in their respective leases) (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, “Prior Rights”), if Landlord determines that at any time during the Term of this Lease any portion of Potential ROFO Space becomes available for reletting (such portion, “Available Space”), and provided that (x) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured under the Lease, (y) Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet more than 50% of the Premises, except as permitted under Section 5.6.4, and (z) the Lease is still in force and effect, Landlord agrees not to enter into a lease (or leases) to lease such Available Space without first delivering to Tenant a notice offering to lease the Available Space to Tenant pursuant to this Section 9.26 (“Landlord’s ROFO Notice”). Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall specify the estimated delivery date of the Available Space in question, a plan showing such Available Space (and indicating the rentable square footage thereof), the Annual Fixed Rent, Base Operating Expenses and Base Taxes for the Available Space in question, and any work allowance, free rent period or other material business terms upon which Landlord is willing to lease such Available Space. Landlord represents that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, the Prior Rights in existence as of the Seventh Amendment Effective Date are as follows: the renewal rights set forth in the lease of the existing tenant of the Potential ROFO Space on the fourth (4th) floor (as such lease has been or may be assigned by Carbon Black, Inc. to VMware, Inc.).

(B)    If Tenant wishes to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer, Tenant shall have the right to do so by delivering notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to lease the entire Available Space described in Landlord’s ROFO Notice (it being agreed that Tenant has no right to lease less than such entire Available Space) (the “Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”), provided Landlord receives Tenant’s Acceptance Notice not later than that date which is fifteen (15) business days after the date of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s ROFO Notice, time being of the essence. If Tenant shall deliver a timely Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, then the Lease shall automatically be deemed amended to incorporate such Available Space into the Premises on such terms and conditions, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents; provided, however, Landlord and Tenant agree within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice (or thirty (30) days from the determination of the Annual Fixed Rent for the Available Space pursuant to Section 9.26(C) below, if applicable) to execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant incorporating the Available Space into the Premises upon all of the same terms and conditions in the Lease, except that: (i) the Annual Fixed Rent, which shall be as set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice (or as determined pursuant to Section 9.26(C) below, if applicable) shall be applicable to the Available Space; (ii) all other terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be applicable to the Available Space; (iii) the lease term as to the Available Space shall be coterminous with the Term (as it may be earlier terminated under the Lease); and (iv) those provisions of the Lease which conflict with the specific terms set forth in Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall not be applicable to the Available Space. If for any reason Tenant shall not so exercise such right within such fifteen (15) business day


Page 7

    


period, time being of the essence with respect to such exercise, Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s ROFO Notice. If Tenant rejects or is deemed to have rejected Landlord’s ROFO Notice, Landlord shall be free to lease such Available Space (or any portion thereof) to any other third party (or parties) on terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord, and Tenant will have no further right to lease such Available Space (or any portion thereof) pursuant to this Section 9.26 unless and until it becomes available for reletting after its subsequent leasing by Landlord to a third party after Tenant’s rejection or deemed rejection and further subject to any Prior Rights.

(C)    In the event Tenant desires to exercise its right of first offer, but Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Annual Fixed Rent for the Available Space, Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, meeting the requirements set forth above within the time period specified above, but Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall also indicate that Tenant so disagrees, whereupon the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of fifteen (15) business days (the “Negotiation Period”) from the date upon which Landlord receives Tenant’s Acceptance Notice to agree upon the Annual Fixed Rent. If the parties do not so agree within the Negotiation Period, then Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given to Landlord within fifteen (15) business days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to submit the Annual Fixed Rent for the Available Space to a Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit B attached to the Third Amendment) for the Available Space, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit B attached to the Third Amendment and incorporated herein by reference. In any event, Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice shall be deemed to be the irrevocable exercise by Tenant of its right of first offer subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.26. If Tenant fails to timely initiate the Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent pursuant to such Exhibit B within such additional fifteen (15) business day period, Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rent set forth in the Landlord’s ROFO Notice shall be binding on the parties.

(D)    If Landlord determines that possession of any Available Space will not be available for delivery to Tenant until on or after that date which is twelve
(12)months prior to the end of the Term of the Lease, then: (i) if Tenant has no further right to extend the Term of the Lease (e.g., Tenant’s right to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended) has been irrevocably waived by Tenant or has lapsed unexercised), then Landlord shall not be obligated to offer the Available Space in question for lease to Tenant or to deliver a Landlord’s ROFO Notice to Tenant with respect thereto, nor shall Tenant have a right to lease such Available Space under the terms set forth herein or otherwise, or to receive a Landlord’s ROFO Notice with respect thereto, and (ii) if Tenant then has a right to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended) which has not either lapsed unexercised or been irrevocably waived, then Landlord shall deliver a Landlord’s ROFO Notice to Tenant with respect to


Page 8

    


the Available Space in question, but Tenant shall have no right to lease such Available Space unless, prior to, or simultaneously with, the giving of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, Tenant exercises such extension option, which option may be exercised without regard to any time periods for such exercise set forth in Section
9.18 of the Lease (as amended) so long as it is sent in accordance with the timing requirements set forth in this Section 9.26(D)(ii). Notwithstanding Tenant’s exercise of its extension option in accordance with the foregoing, the Annual Fixed Rent for the original Premises for any such Extended Term shall be determined at the same time and in the same manner such Annual Fixed Rent would have been determined if Tenant had exercised the extension option within the time periods for such exercise set forth in Section 9.18 of the Lease (as amended).

(E)    As used in this Section 9.26, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(i)    “Potential ROFO Space” shall mean all or any portion of the space on the fourth (4th) floor South Wing of the Building or on the first (1st) floor South Wing of the Building and shown as “ROFO Premises” on Exhibit A attached to the Seventh Amendment and incorporated herein by reference; provided, however, that it is acknowledged and agreed that (x) “ROFO Space A” as shown on Exhibit A is vacant as of the date hereof, and Landlord shall have the right to initially lease such ROFO Space A (or any portion thereof) to any third party (or parties) as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole discretion, prior to triggering Tenant’s right of first offer under this Section 9.26 with respect to such ROFO Space A, and (y) “ROFO Space B” as shown on Exhibit A is available for reletting as of the date hereof, and Landlord shall have the right to initially release such ROFO Space B (or any portion thereof) to any third party (or parties) as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole discretion, prior to triggering Tenant’s right of first offer under this Section 9.26 with respect to such ROFO Space B.

(ii)    Potential ROFO Space shall be deemed “available for reletting” when Landlord reasonably determines that the then current tenant of the Potential ROFO Space in question will vacate the Potential ROFO Space at the expiration or earlier termination of such tenant’s lease and that Landlord intends to offer such space for lease and any applicable Prior Rights have lapsed or been waived.”

7.Assignment and Subletting. Section 5.6.2(B) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

“(B) Landlord shall have the right at its sole option, to be exercised within thirteen (13) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice (the “Acceptance Period”) for (i) an assignment of this Lease, or (ii) expressly subject to the immediately following sentence of this Section 5.6.2(B), a sublease which itself, or in combination with all other existing subleases would result in the subleasing of more than 50% of the Premises

Page 9

    




Page 10

    


for all or substantially all of the remaining Term of this Lease, to terminate this Lease as of a date specified in a notice to Tenant, which date shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days nor later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant; provided, however, that upon the termination date as set forth in Landlord’s notice, all obligations relating to the period after such termination date (but not those relating to the period before such termination date) shall cease and promptly upon being billed therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall make final payment of all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant through the termination date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall only propose to sublease a portion of the Premises, which sublease itself, or in combination with all other existing subleases would result in the subleasing of more than 50% of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining Term of this Lease, Landlord shall only have the right to so terminate this Lease with respect to that portion of the Premises which Tenant is proposing to sublease (the “Terminated Portion of the Premises”), and from and after the termination date the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises shall be reduced to the rentable floor area of the remainder of the Premises and the definition of Rentable Floor Area of the Premises shall be so amended and after such termination all references in this Lease to the “Premises” or the “Rentable Floor Area of the Premises” shall be deemed to be references to the remainder of the Premises and accordingly Tenant's payments for Annual Fixed Rent, operating costs, real estate taxes and electricity shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the size of the remainder of the Premises. In the case of a partial subletting where Landlord has exercised its termination right pursuant to this Section 5.6.2, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, the reasonable cost to separately physically demise that portion of the Premises which are being terminated from the remainder of the Premises. In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its termination rights as aforesaid, or shall fail to give any or timely notice pursuant to this Section the provisions of Sections 5.6.3, 5.6.5 and 5.6.6 shall be applicable. For purposes of this Section 5.6.2, a sublease shall be deemed to be for all or substantially all of the remaining Term of this Lease if such sublease would expire with less than six (6) months remaining prior to the expiration of the Term (taking into account any extension option previously exercised by Tenant). This Section 5.6.2 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 5.6.4.”

8.
Brokerage.

(A)    Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Seventh Amendment other than Jones Lang LaSalle (“JLL”) and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with any brokers other than JLL with respect to this Seventh Amendment, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.

(B)    Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Seventh Amendment other than JLL, and in the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with any brokers other than


Page 11

    


JLL, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection first approved by Tenant (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that is shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to JLL for this Seventh Amendment.

9.Capitalized Terms. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as are set forth in the Lease.

10.Ratification. Except as herein amended the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. All references to the “Lease” shall be deemed to be references to the Lease as herein amended.

11.Authority. Each of Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that all necessary action has been taken to enter this Seventh Amendment and that the person signing this Seventh Amendment on its behalf has been duly authorized to do so.

12.Electronic Signatures. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Seventh Amendment may be executed by electronic signature, which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature. Without limitation, “electronic signature” shall include faxed versions of an original signature or electronically scanned and transmitted versions (e.g., via pdf) of an original signature.
