(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND OPERATING SEGMENT
(a) Description of Business
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Spectrum”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a biotechnology company, with a primary strategy comprised of acquiring, developing, and commercializing a broad and diverse pipeline of late-stage clinical and commercial products. We have an in-house clinical development organization with regulatory and data management capabilities, and a commercial infrastructure and a field sales force for our marketed products. Currently, we have six approved oncology/hematology products that target different types of cancer including: non-Hodgkin's lymphoma ("NHL"), advanced metastatic colorectal cancer, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and multiple myeloma.
We also have three drugs in mid-to-late stage development (defined as Phase 2 and Phase 3):
ROLONTIS (formerly referred to as SPI-2012 or LAPS-G-CSF) for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia.
QAPZOLA (formerly referred to as APAZIQUONE) for immediate intravesical instillation in post-transurethral resection of bladder tumors in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer ("NMIBC").
POZIOTINIB, a novel pan-HER inhibitor used in the treatment of patients with a variety of solid tumors, including breast and lung cancer.
(b) Basis of Presentation
Interim Financial Statements
The interim financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 respectively, is unaudited, and is not necessarily indicative of our operating results for a full year. In the opinion of our management, the interim data includes normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 . Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements. The December 31, 2016 balances reported herein are derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the SEC on March 14, 2017.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and with the rules and regulations of the SEC. These financial statements include the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Spectrum and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned (except for Spectrum Pharma Canada ("SPC"), as discussed below). All inter-company accounts and transactions among these legal entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
Variable Interest Entity
We own fifty -percent of SPC, a legal entity organized in Quebec, Canada in January 2008. Some of our clinical studies are conducted through this “variable interest entity” (as defined under applicable GAAP). We fund all of SPC’s operating costs, and since we assume all risks and rewards for this entity, we meet the applicable GAAP criteria as being its “primary beneficiary.” Accordingly, SPC’s balance sheets and statements of operations are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as if it were a wholly-owned subsidiary for all periods presented.

(c) Operating Segment
We operate in one reportable operating segment that is focused exclusively on developing and commercializing oncology and hematology drug products. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , all of our revenue and related expenses were solely attributable to these activities. Substantially all of our assets (excluding our cash held in certain foreign bank accounts and our ZEVALIN distribution rights for the Ex-U.S. territory) are held in the U.S.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make informed estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. However, actual values may materially differ, since estimates are inherently uncertain. On an on-going basis, our management evaluates its estimates and assumptions, including those related to (i) gross-to-net revenue adjustments; (ii) the timing of revenue recognition; (iii) the collectability of customer accounts; (iv) whether the cost of our inventories can be recovered; (v) the fair value of our reported goodwill and intangible assets; (vi) the realization of our tax assets and estimates of our tax liabilities; (vii) the likelihood of payment and value of contingent liabilities; (viii) the fair value of our investments; (ix) the valuation of our stock options and the periodic expense recognition of stock-based compensation; and (x) the potential outcome of our ongoing or threatened litigation.
The estimates and assumptions that most significantly impact the presented amounts within these Consolidated Financial Statements are further described below:
(i) Revenue Recognition
(a) Product Sales : We sell our products to wholesalers/distributors (i.e., our customers), except for our U.S. sales of ZEVALIN in which case the end-user (i.e., clinic or hospital) is our customer. Our wholesalers /distributors in turn sell our products directly to clinics, hospitals, and private oncology-based practices. Revenue from product sales is recognized when title and risk of loss have transferred to our customer, and the following additional criteria are met:
(1)
appropriate evidence of a binding arrangement exists with our customer;
(2)
price is substantially fixed or determinable;
(3)
collection from our customer is reasonably assured;
(4)
our customer’s obligation to pay us is not contingent on resale of the product;
(5)
we do not have significant continued performance obligations to our customer; and
(6)
we have a reasonable basis to estimate returns.
Our gross revenue is reduced by our gross-to-net (“GTN”) estimates each period, resulting in our reported “product sales, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We defer revenue recognition in full if these estimates are not reasonably determinable at the time of sale. These estimates are based upon information received from external sources (such as written or oral information obtained from our customers with respect to their period-end inventory levels and their sales to end-users during the period), in combination with management’s informed judgments. Due to the inherent uncertainty of estimates, the actual amount we incur may be materially different than our GTN estimates, and require prospective revenue adjustments in periods after the initial sale was recorded.
Our GTN estimates are comprised of the following categories:
Product Returns Allowances : Our FUSILEV, MARQIBO, and BELEODAQ customers are permitted to return purchased products beginning at its expiration date and within six months thereafter. Our EVOMELA customers are permitted to return purchased product beginning at six months prior to its expiration date, and within 12 months following its expiration date (as well as for overstock inventory, as determined by end-users). Returned product is generally not resold. Returns for expiry of ZEVALIN and FOLOTYN are not contractually, or customarily, allowed. We estimate expected product returns for our allowance based on our historical return rates.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


Government Chargebacks : Our products are subject to pricing limits under certain federal government programs (e.g., Medicare and 340B Drug Pricing Program). Qualifying entities (i.e., end-users) purchase products from our customers at their qualifying discounted price. The chargeback amount we incur represents the difference between our contractual sales price to our customer, and the end-user’s applicable discounted purchase price under the government program. There may be significant lag time between our reported net product sales and our receipt of the corresponding government chargeback claims from our customers.
Prompt Pay Discounts : Discounts for prompt payment are estimated at the time of sale, based on our eligible customers’ prompt payment history and the contractual discount percentage.
Commercial Rebates : Commercial rebates are based on (i) our estimates of end-user purchases through a group purchasing organization ("GPO"), (ii) the corresponding contractual rebate percentage tier we expect each GPO to achieve, and (iii) our estimates of the impact of any prospective rebate program changes made by us.
Medicaid Rebates : Our products are subject to state government-managed Medicaid programs, whereby rebates are issued to participating state governments. These rebates arise when a patient treated with our product is covered under Medicaid, resulting in a discounted price for our product under the applicable Medicaid program. Our Medicaid rebate accrual calculations require us to project the magnitude of our sales, by state, that will be subject to these rebates. There is a significant time lag in us receiving rebate notices from each state (generally several months or longer after our sale is recognized). Our estimates are based on our historical claim levels by state, as supplemented by management’s judgment.
Distribution, Data, and GPO Administrative Fees : Distribution, data, and GPO administrative fees are paid to authorized wholesalers/distributors of our products (except for U.S. sales of ZEVALIN) for various commercial services including: contract administration, inventory management, delivery of end-user sales data, and product returns processing. These fees are based on a contractually-determined percentage of our applicable sales.
(b) License Fees : Our out-license arrangements may include one or more of the following: (a) upfront license fees, (b) royalties from our licensees’ sales, (c) milestone receipts from our licensees’ sales, and (d) milestone receipts upon regulatory achievements by us or our licensees. We recognize revenue from these categories based on the contractual terms that establish the legal rights and obligations between us and our licensees. We complete the following steps in determining the dollar amount and timing of revenue recognition from our license fees:
(i)
We first assess the number of “units of accounting” for the elements in our out-license arrangements in accordance with multiple element arrangement guidance. We consider if elements (deliverables) have standalone value, and if standalone value does not exist for a deliverable, it is combined (as applicable) with other deliverables until the "bundle" has standalone value (as a single unit of accounting).

(ii)
Next, we allocate arrangement consideration among the separate units of accounting (using the "relative selling price method").

(iii)
Finally, we evaluate the timing of revenue recognition, which is impacted by the nature of the consideration to which we are entitled, as follows:

(a)
Upfront license fees : We consider whether upfront license fees are earned (i.e., realized) at the time of contract execution (i.e., when the license rights transfer to the customer) or over the actual (or implied) contractual term of the out-license. We give specific consideration to whether we have any on-going contractual service obligations to the licensee, including any requirements for us to provide on-going support services, and/or for us to supply drug products for the licensee’s future sales. As a result, we may either recognize all upfront license fees as revenue in the period of contract execution, or recognize these fees over the actual (or implied) contractual term of the out-license.

(b)
Royalties : We recognize revenue in the period that our licensees report product sales to us in their territory for which we are contractually entitled to a percentage-based royalty receipt (i.e., representing the period when earned and realizable).

(Unaudited)


(c)
Sales milestones : We recognize revenue in the period that our licensees report achievement of annual or aggregate product sales levels in their territories for which we are contractually entitled to a specified lump-sum receipt (i.e., representing the period when earned and realizable).

(d)
Regulatory milestones : Under the terms of the respective out-license, regulatory achievements may either be our responsibility, or that of our licensee.

When our licensee is responsible for the achievement of the regulatory milestone (and we have no on-going obligations), we recognize this revenue in the period that our product achieves specified regulatory approvals for which we are contractually entitled to a fixed receipt (i.e., representing the period when earned and realizable).

When we are responsible for the achievement of the regulatory milestone, we recognize this revenue in the period that our product achieves specified regulatory approvals for which we are contractually entitled to a fixed receipt. Regulatory approvals by governmental agencies are inherently uncertain, and require our substantial cost and effort in completing our submission for potential approval. Therefore, these regulatory milestones are “substantive” and these fixed receipts remain at-risk (i.e. unearned and unrealizable) until the period of achievement. We believe the amounts we are entitled to receive upon our achievement relates solely to our past performance and is commensurate with either (i) our performance in achieving the milestone, or (ii) the resulting enhancement in value of the drug compound.

(c) Service Revenue : We receive fees under certain arrangements for (a) sales and marketing services, (b) supply chain services (c) research and development services, and (d) clinical trial management services. Payment for these services may be triggered by (i) an established fixed-fee schedule, (ii) the completion of product delivery in our capacity as a procurement agent, (iii) the successful completion of a phase of development, (iv) favorable results from a clinical trial, and/or (v) regulatory approval events.
We consider whether revenue associated with these service arrangements is “realizable and earned” each reporting period, based on our completed services or deliverables during the reporting period, and the contractual terms of the arrangement (which typically includes fee schedules). For any/all milestone achievements in the reporting period that contractually result in fixed payments due to us, we apply the “milestone method” of revenue recognition. Accordingly, this revenue recognition occurs as each “substantive” milestone (as discussed below) is achieved by us, since (1) all contingencies associated with each milestone is resolved upon its achievement, (2) the milestone achievement relates solely to our past performance, and (3) no remaining milestone performance obligations exist in relation to our receipt of payment.
In recognizing revenue under the milestone method, we first assess the number of “units of accounting” in the arrangement. We consider if the separate “deliverable” has standalone value to our licensee, and if standalone value does not exist for a deliverable, it is combined with other deliverables until the "bundle" has standalone value. The allocation of arrangement consideration and the recognition of revenue is determined for those combined deliverables as a single unit of accounting. This includes allocation of consideration associated with milestones achieved by our licensees.
Next, we measure and allocate arrangement consideration among the separate units of accounting. This fixed or determinable consideration is allocated to the units of accounting using the "relative selling price method". Variable fees subsequently earned (other than substantive milestone payments) are allocated to the units of accounting on the same basis.
We determine whether the milestone is substantive by considering (i) the extent of our effort to achieve the milestone and/or the enhancement of the value of the delivered item(s) as a result of milestone achievement, (ii) whether the milestone achievement relates solely to our past performance, and (iii) if the milestone payment is reasonable relative to all of the deliverables and payment terms (including other potential milestone consideration) within the arrangement.

(Unaudited)


For service contracts without milestones, we recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
(d) New Revenue Recognition Standard : The revenue recognition standard, ASU No. 2014-09 , Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ ASU 2014-09 ”), is effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. This new standard requires that our revenue is recognized in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of our goods or services to customers in return for expected consideration. To achieve this core principle, the guidance provides the following steps: (1) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

We intend to apply the "cumulative effect transition method" of ASU 2014-09 for its implementation. We continue to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our current revenue recognition models for product sales, license fees, and service revenue (as described above), though we currently believe the most significant impact of this new standard relates to the timing (though not the aggregate value) of our license fee revenue recognition.
(ii) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Our cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the purchase date.
(iii) Marketable Securities
Our marketable securities consist of our holdings in mutual funds and bank certificates of deposit ("Bank CDs"). Since we classify these securities as “available-for-sale” under applicable GAAP, any unrealized gains or losses from their change in value is reflected in “unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in “other income, net” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
(iv) Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivables are derived from our product sales and license fees (our service revenue is recorded in "other receivables"), and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after appropriate collection efforts are exhausted.
(v) Inventories
We value our inventory at the lower of (i) the actual cost of its purchase or manufacture, or (ii) its current market value. Inventory cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. We regularly review our inventory quantities in process of manufacture and on hand. When appropriate, we record a provision for obsolete and excess inventory to derive its new cost basis, which takes into account our sales forecast by product and corresponding expiry dates.
Direct and indirect manufacturing costs related to the production of inventory prior to U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval are expensed through “research and development,” rather than being capitalized to inventory cost.
(vi) Property and Equipment
Our property and equipment is stated at historical cost, and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life that corresponds with its designated asset category. We evaluate the recoverability of “long-lived assets” (which includes property and equipment) whenever events or changes in circumstances in our business indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable through on-going operations.
(vii) Goodwill and Intangible Assets

11


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


Our goodwill represents the excess of our business acquisition cost over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the corresponding transaction. Goodwill has an indefinite accounting life and is therefore not amortized. Instead, goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis (as of each October 1 st ), unless we identify impairment indicators that would require earlier testing.
We evaluate the recoverability of indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or whenever events or changes in our business indicate that an intangible asset’s (whether indefinite or definite-lived) carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such circumstances could include, but are not limited to the following:
(a)
a significant decrease in the market value of an asset;
(b)
a significant adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used; or
(c)
an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition of an asset.
Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis. We review these assets for potential impairment if/when facts or circumstances suggest that the carrying value of these assets may not be recoverable.
(viii) Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for equity awards granted to our employees and members of our board of directors is recognized on a straight-line basis over each award's vesting period. Recognized compensation expense is net of an estimated forfeiture rate, representing the percentage of awards that are expected to be forfeited (by termination of employment or service) prior to vesting. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options (as of the date of grant) which carry service conditions for vesting. We use the Monte Carlo valuation model to value equity awards (as of the date of grant) which carry combined market conditions and service conditions for vesting.
The calculation of the fair value of stock options and the recognition of stock-based compensation expense requires uncertain assumptions, including (a) the pre-vesting forfeiture rate of the award, (b) the expected term of our stock options, (c) our stock price volatility over its expected term (and that of our designated peer group with respect to certain market-based awards), and (d) the risk-free interest rate over the expected term.
We estimate forfeiture rates based on our employees’ overall forfeiture history, which we believe will be representative of future results. We estimate the expected term of stock options granted based on our employees’ historical exercise patterns, which we believe will be representative of their future behavior. We estimate the volatility of our common stock on the date of grant based on historical volatility of our common stock for a look-back period that corresponds with the expected term. We estimate the risk-free interest rate based upon the U.S. Treasury yields in effect at award grant, for a period equaling the stock options’ expected term.
(ix) Foreign Currency Translation
We translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries that are stated in their functional currencies (i.e., local operating currencies), to U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at the reported balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated using the monthly average exchange rates during the reported period. Unrealized gains and losses from the translation of our subsidiaries’ financial statements (that are initially denominated in the corresponding functional currency) are included as a separate component of “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We record foreign currency transactions, when initially denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currency of our subsidiary, at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Resulting unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses from transactions with third parties are included in “accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Beginning April 1, 2015, all unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses associated with our intercompany loans are included in "accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as these loans with our foreign subsidiaries are not expected to be settled in the "foreseeable future."

(x) Basic and Diluted Net Loss per Share
We calculate basic and diluted net loss per share using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. In periods of a net loss, basic and diluted loss per share are the same. For the diluted earnings per share calculation, we adjust the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to include only dilutive stock options, warrants, and other common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
(xi) Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts reported in the financial statements, as well as operating losses and tax credit carry forwards using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, the timing and amount of which are uncertain.
We have recorded a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets, because we believe that, based upon a weighting of positive and negative factors, it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. If/when we were to determine that our deferred tax assets are realizable, an adjustment to the corresponding valuation allowance would increase our net income in the period that such determination was made.
In the event that we are assessed interest and/or penalties from taxing authorities that have not been previously accrued, such amounts would be included in “benefit for income taxes” within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period the notice was received.
(xii) Research and Development Costs
Our research and development costs are expensed as incurred, or as certain milestone payments become due, which are generally triggered by contractual clinical or regulatory events.
(xiii) Fair Value Measurements
We determine measurement-date fair value based on the proceeds that would be received through the sale of the asset, or that we would pay to settle or transfer the liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include the following:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are publicly accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but that are corroborated by market data. These inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or quoted market prices in markets that are not active to the general public.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available.
3. BALANCE SHEET ACCOUNT DETAIL
The composition of selected financial statement captions that comprise the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized below:
(a) Cash and Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , our holdings included in “cash and cash equivalents” and “marketable securities” were at major financial institutions.

(Unaudited)


Our investment policy requires that investments in marketable securities be in only highly-rated instruments, which are primarily U.S. treasury bills or U.S. treasury-backed securities, and limited investments in securities of any single issuer. We maintain cash balances in excess of federally insured limits with reputable financial institutions. To a limited degree, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and other third parties insure these investments. However, these investments are not insured against the possibility of a complete loss of earnings or principal and are inherently subject to the credit risk related to the continued credit worthiness of the underlying issuer and general credit market risks. We manage such risks on our portfolio by investing in highly liquid, highly rated instruments, and limit investing in long-term maturity instruments.
 
The carrying amount of our equity securities, money market funds, Bank CDs, and mutual funds approximates their fair value (utilizing Level 1 or Level 2 inputs – see Note 2(xiii) ) because of our ability to immediately convert these instruments into cash with minimal expected change in value.
The following is a summary of our presented “cash and cash equivalents” and “marketable securities”:

Depreciation expense (included within “total operating costs and expenses” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations) for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , was $0.1 million and $0.2 million , respectively.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 , which amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creates Topic 842 , Leases . The new topic supersedes Topic 840 , Leases , and requires lease assets and lease liabilities (including for operating leases) to be presented on the balance sheet at its "gross amount" and requires additional disclosures regarding lease arrangements. The guidance is effective for us beginning January 1, 2019, and mandates a "modified retrospective" transition method. We are currently assessing the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We

The FDA approval of EVOMELA in March 2016 triggered a $6 million payment due to CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand Pharmaceuticals Incorporated ("Ligand")). This event also resulted in a reclassification of our $7.7 million "EVOMELA IPR&D" to "EVOMELA distribution rights" due to our ability to begin its commercialization with this FDA approval. Amortization commenced on April 1, 2016, in accordance with our capitalization policy for intangible assets.

(2)
Beginning June 2016, we adjusted the amortization period of our FOLOTYN distribution rights to November 2022 from March 2025, representing the period through which we expect to have patent protection from generic competition (see Note 16(g) ).

(3)
On February 20, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada found the patent covering FUSILEV to be invalid, which was upheld on appeal. On April 24, 2015, Sandoz began to commercialize a generic version of FUSILEV. This represented a “triggering event” under applicable GAAP in evaluating the value of our FUSILEV distribution rights as of March 31, 2015, resulting in a $7.2 million impairment charge (non-cash) in the first quarter of 2015. We accelerated amortization expense recognition in 2015 for the then remaining net book value of FUSILEV distribution rights.

(4)
On May 29, 2013, we amended our FOLOTYN collaboration agreement with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited ("Mundipharma"). As a result of the amendment, Europe and Turkey were excluded from Mundipharma’s commercialization territory, and their royalty rates and milestone payments to us were modified. This constituted a change under which we originally valued the FOLOTYN out-license as part of business combination accounting, resulting in an impairment charge (non-cash) of $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2013.

9. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
(a) Acquisition of Talon Therapeutics, Inc.
Overview of Talon Acquisition
On July 17, 2013 , we purchased all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. (“Talon”). Through the acquisition of Talon, we gained worldwide rights to MARQIBO. The Talon purchase consideration comprised of (i) an aggregate upfront cash amount of $11.3 million , (ii) issuance of 3.0 million shares of our common stock, then equivalent to $26.3 million (based on a closing price of $8.77 per share on July 17, 2013), and (iii) the issuance of contingent value rights (“CVR”) initially valued at $6.5 million .

22


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


The CVR was valued using a valuation model that probability-weights expected outcomes (ranging from 50% to 100% ) and discounts those amounts to their present value, using an appropriate discount rate (these represent unobservable inputs and are therefore classified as Level 3 inputs – see Note 2 (xiii) ). The CVR has a maximum payout of $195 million if all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved, as summarized below:
 
$5 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $30 million in any calendar year
$10 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $60 million in any calendar year
$25 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $100 million in any calendar year
$50 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $200 million in any calendar year
$100 million upon the achievement of net sales of MARQIBO in excess of $400 million in any calendar year
$5 million upon receipt of marketing authorization from the FDA regarding Menadione Topical Lotion

Talon CVR Fair Value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016
The CVR fair value will continue to be evaluated on a quarterly basis. Current and future changes in its fair value results from the likelihood and timing of milestone achievement and/or the corresponding discount rate applied thereon. Adjustments to CVR fair value are recognized within “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

(b) Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA and Related Contingent Consideration
Overview of Acquisition of Rights to EVOMELA
In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to Captisol-enabled®, propylene glycol-free MELPHALAN (which we branded as “EVOMELA”) for use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with MM. We acquired these rights from CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ligand ("CyDex") for an initial license fee of $3 million , and assumed responsibility for EVOMELA's then-ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. Concurrent with the execution of this in-license agreement, we entered into an exclusive supply agreement with CyDex that requires that all of our purchases of the Captisol product (which is required to formulate EVOMELA) must be from CyDex, while CyDex must supply us with all of our future commercial needs of this raw material.
We accounted for this transaction as a business combination, which required that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized on the balance sheet at their fair values as of the transaction date.
We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts up to an aggregate $60 million upon the achievement of annual net sales thresholds (exclusive of the $6 million milestone payment triggered in March 2016, as discussed below), however, we continue to not expect to achieve these sales thresholds based on our estimated market size for this product and our projected market share. We also must pay royalties of 20% on our net sales of EVOMELA in all territories. Our EVOMELA royalty obligation and sales-based milestones are jointly treated under GAAP as part of an "executory contract" that is connected with an at-market supply agreement for Captisol (requiring the continuing involvement of CyDex). As a result, the royalty obligation and sales-based milestones are treated as separate transactions apart from consideration for the EVOMELA rights. Our royalty expenses are reported through “cost of product sales” in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period of our recognized revenue for the product sale.
Consideration Transferred
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred consisted of the following:

Total purchase consideration
$
7,700

Fair Value Estimate of Asset Acquired and Liability Assumed
The total purchase consideration is allocated to the acquisition of the net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of the closing date. The allocation of the total purchase price to the net assets acquired is as follows:
IPR&D EVOMELA rights
$
7,700

We estimated the fair value of the in-process research and development using the income approach. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount (discounted). Our measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The fair value estimate took into account our estimates of future incremental earnings that may be achieved upon regulatory approval, promotion, and distribution associated with the rights, and included estimated cash flows of approximately 10 years and a discount rate of approximately 25% .
 
The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed was determined using the probability of success and the discounted cash flow method of the income approach (representing unobservable inputs and are therefore represent Level 3 values - see Note 2(xiii) ). In March 2016, the FDA approved EVOMELA, triggering a $6 million milestone payment to Ligand (“Ligand Contingent Consideration”) that was paid in April 2016. "EVOMELA IPR&D" of $7.7 million was reclassified in April 2016 to "EVOMELA distribution rights" that is reported within "Intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges" (see Note 3(f) ). Amortization related to this intangible asset commenced on April 1, 2016.
Ligand Contingent Consideration Fair Value as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016
The fair value of the Ligand Contingent Consideration immediately prior to its payment was the full $6 million payment due upon milestone achievement. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2016, we recorded a $0.8 million adjustment to the “change in fair value of contingent consideration related to acquisitions” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. W e have no further contingent consideration obligations as part of this transaction.

(c) Allos Acquisition
We acquired Allos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allos”) on September 5, 2012, which was accounted for as a business combination. Our total cash consideration for this acquisition was $205.2 million , through which we acquired FOLOTYN distribution rights. We have no contingent consideration obligations as part of this transaction.
10. OUT-LICENSE OF MARQIBO, ZEVALIN, AND EVOMELA IN CHINA TERRITORY
Overview of CASI Out-License
On September 17, 2014, we executed three product out-license agreements with a perpetual term (collectively, the “CASI Out-License”) with CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CASI”), a publicly-traded biopharmaceutical company (NASDAQ: CASI) with a primary focus on the China market. Under the CASI Out-License, we granted CASI the exclusive rights to distribute two of our commercialized oncology drugs, ZEVALIN and MARQIBO, and our Phase 3 drug candidate, EVOMELA (“CASI Out-Licensed Products”) in greater China (which includes Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau). In return, we received CASI equity for the rights related to ZEVALIN and EVOMELA and a secured promissory note for the rights related to MARQIBO.

24


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


Additionally, under certain conditions which generally expire on September 17, 2019, we have a right to receive additional CASI common stock in order to maintain our post-investment ownership percentage if CASI issues additional securities. In 2016, we acquired an additional 4.6 million common shares of CASI at par value, resulting in our total holding of 10.0 million common shares as of March 31, 2017 .
CASI will be responsible for the development and commercialization of these three drugs, including the submission of import drug registration applications to regulatory authorities and conducting any confirmatory clinical studies in greater China. We will provide CASI with future commercial supply of the CASI Out-Licensed Products under typical market terms.
Proceeds Received in the Third Quarter of 2014
The proceeds we received, and its fair value on the CASI Out-License execution date, consisted of the following:
CASI common stock (5.4 million shares)
$
8,649

(a)
CASI secured promissory note due March 17, 2018, net of fair value discount ($1.5 million face value and 0.5% annual coupon)
1,310

(b)
Total consideration received, net of fair value discount
$
9,959

(c)

(a)
Value determined based on the September 17, 2014 closing price of 5.4 million shares of CASI common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market of $1.60 per share. Our current intention is to hold these securities on a long-term basis. Accordingly, we have presented its value of $14.2 million as of March 31, 2017 within "other assets" (rather than "marketable securities") on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of these securities is reported within “unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.

(b)
Value estimated using the terms of the $1.5 million promissory note, the application of a synthetic debt rating based on CASI’s publicly-available financial information, and the prevailing interest yields on similar public debt securities as of September 17, 2014. This full balance was prospectively reclassified beginning March 31, 2017 to "other receivables" (presented within current assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) from "other assets" (presented within non-current assets) due to this note's maturity date of March 17, 2018 (i.e., within 12 months of March 31, 2017 ).
(c)
Presented within “license fees and service revenue” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 (see below).
In addition, CASI will be responsible for paying any royalties or milestones that we are obligated to pay to our third-party licensors resulting from the achievement of certain milestones and/or sales of CASI Out-Licensed Products, but only to the extent of the greater China portion of such royalties or milestones.

License Fee Revenue Recognized in the Second Quarter of 2015

The $9.7 million value of the upfront proceeds (undiscounted, and net of certain foreign exchange adjustments) from CASI were recognized in 2015 within “license fees and service revenue” on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The timing of this revenue recognition corresponds with the execution of supply agreements with CASI for ZEVALIN, MARQIBO, and EVOMELA. These agreements allow CASI to procure CASI Out-Licensed Products directly from approved third parties, and in such case, do not require our future involvement for their commercial supply.
11. OUT-LICENSE OF ZEVALIN IN CERTAIN EX-U.S. TERRITORIES

On November 16, 2015, we entered into an out-license agreement with Mundipharma International Corporation Limited for their commercialization of ZEVALIN in Asia (excluding India and Greater China), Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America (including the Caribbean). In return, we received $18 million (comprised of $15 million received in December 2015 and $3 million received in January 2016). Of these proceeds, $15 million was recognized within "license fees and service revenue" in the fourth quarter of 2015. Of the remaining $3 million received, $0.6 million and $0.4 million were recognized in the same caption for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. As of

25


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


March 31, 2017 , $0.6 million remains deferred and is presented within current "deferred revenue" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As Mundipharma has sales of ZEVALIN kits in their territories, the remaining unrecognized portion of this $3 million payment will be reported by us within "license fees and service revenue" on an established per-unit basis. Mundipharma is required to reimburse us for our payment of royalties due to Bayer Pharma AG ("Bayer") from their ZEVALIN sales - see Note 16(b)(ii) . We are also eligible to receive an additional $2 million upon Mundipharma's achievement of a specified sales milestone, that if/when achieved, will also be reported within "license fees and service revenue".
 
12. OUT-LICENSE OF ZEVALIN, FOLOTYN, BELEODAQ, AND MARQIBO IN CANADA TERRITORY
On January 8, 2016, we entered into a strategic partnership with Servier Canada, Inc. ("Servier") for the out-licenses of ZEVALIN, FOLOTYN, BELEODAQ, and MARQIBO. We received $6 million in upfront payments in the first quarter of 2016 which was recognized within "license fees and service revenue" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . We will also receive development milestone payments if/when achieved, and a high single-digit royalty on their sales of these products.

13. CO-PROMOTION ARRANGEMENT WITH EAGLE PHARMACEUTICALS
On November 4, 2015, we executed an agreement with Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Eagle") whereby designated members of our sales force will concurrently market up to six of Eagle's products along with our products, in return for fixed monthly payments over the initial 18 month contract term beginning January 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, aggregating $12.8 million (the "Eagle Agreement"). We are also eligible to receive milestone payments of up to $5 million for sales made in 2016 that exceed certain thresholds, and up to $4 million for sales made in the first half 2017 that exceed certain thresholds. In addition, for performance above such sales levels in 2016, and in the first half of 2017, we are eligible to receive variable-based payments in the high single-digits on incremental sales of Eagle's products above these established threshold levels.
The fixed payments received by us, as well as reimbursable costs for certain marketing activities that we coordinate with third parties on Eagle's behalf, are recognized within "license fees and service revenue" on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This amount was $2.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Any variable payments due to us will be recognized in the period earned and reported within the same revenue caption.
An allocation of our sales personnel costs that are dedicated to Eagle sales activities are reported within "cost of service revenue" on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, as are reimbursable costs for Eagle marketing activities. These were an aggregate $2.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively.
Any extension of the term of this agreement beyond June 30, 2017 requires mutual consent. The Eagle Agreement may be terminated by either party for uncured material breaches and certain other events following a change of control or insolvency of either party.

14. CONVERTIBLE SENIOR NOTES

Overview
On December 17, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes (equaling 120,000 notes, denominated in $1,000 principal units) due December 2018 (the “2018 Convertible Notes”). The 2018 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 95 shares per $1,000 principal units, equating to 11.4 million common shares if fully converted. The in-the-money conversion price is equivalent to $10.53 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain limited circumstances. The 2018 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75%  per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 2018 Convertible Notes will mature and become payable on December 15, 2018, subject to earlier conversion into common stock at the holders’ option.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


The sale of the 2018 Convertible Notes closed on December 23, 2013 and our net proceeds were $115.4 million , after deducting banker and professional fees of $4.6 million . We used a portion of these net proceeds to simultaneously enter into “bought call” and “sold warrant” transactions with Royal Bank of Canada (collectively, the “Note Hedge”). We recorded the Note Hedge on a net cost basis of $13.1 million , as a reduction to “additional paid-in capital” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under applicable GAAP, the Note Hedge transaction has not been (and is not expected to be) marked-to-market through earnings or comprehensive income.
Open Market Purchases of 2018 Convertible Notes and Conversion Hedge Unwind
In December 2016, we completed two open market purchases of our 2018 Convertible Notes, aggregating 9,963 note units (equivalent to $10 million principal value) for $9.0 million . We recognized an aggregate loss of $25,000 on the retirement of these 2018 Convertible Notes (based on its carrying value under GAAP), which is included in "other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2017 , $110 million in principal of our 2018 Convertible Notes are outstanding.
We concurrently unwound a portion of our previously sold warrants and previously purchased call options that were part of our "conversion hedge" for aggregate net proceeds of $21,000 , with a corresponding net increase to "additional paid-in capital" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016.
Conversion Hedge
We entered into Note Hedge transactions in December 2013 to reduce the potential dilution to our stockholders and/or offset any cash payments that we are required to make in excess of the principal amount, upon conversion of the 2018 Convertible Notes (in the event that the market price of our common stock is greater than the conversion price). The strike price of the “bought call” is equal to the conversion price and conversion rate of the 2018 Convertible Notes, then matching the 11.4 million common shares the 2018 Convertible Notes may be converted into. The strike price of our “sold warrant” is $14.03 per share of our common stock, and is also for 11.4 million common shares.
Conversion Events
On and after June 15, 2018, and until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2018 Convertible Notes. Prior to June 15, 2018, holders may convert all or a portion of their 2018 Convertible Notes only under any of the following circumstances: (1) during any fiscal quarter (and only during such fiscal quarter), if, for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day is greater than or equal to 130% of the Notes' conversion price on such trading day; (2) during the five consecutive business day period immediately following any five consecutive trading day period in which, for each trading day of that measurement period, the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 2018 Convertible Notes for such trading day was less than 98% of the product of (i) the last reported sale price of our common stock on such trading day and (ii) the applicable conversion rate on such trading day; (3) upon the occurrence of certain corporate transactions; and (4) at any time prior to our stockholders’ approval to settle the 2018 Convertible Notes in our common shares and/or cash.
As of March 31, 2017 , the 2018 Convertible Notes are not eligible to be converted into our common stock as none of the above elements (1) through (4) were met. Our stockholders’ approval of "flexible settlement" occurred at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 29, 2015. As a result, we may (at our election) settle any future conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by paying or delivering cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. However, if the holders of the Convertible Notes do not elect any conversion into our common stock, our December 2018 obligation to repay the principal amount of $110 million in cash, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, is unchanged.
Carrying Value and Fair Value
The carrying value of the 2018 Convertible Notes as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , is summarized as follows:

15. FOLOTYN AGREEMENT AND DRUG DEVELOPMENT LIABILITY
As the result of our acquisition of Allos Therapeutics, Inc. on September 5, 2012 (through which we obtained in-license rights for FOLOTYN), we assumed its FOLOTYN development obligations under an active strategic collaboration agreement with a third-party, Mundipharma (the “Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement”). Under the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we retained full commercialization rights for FOLOTYN in the U.S. and Canada, with Mundipharma having exclusive rights to commercialize FOLOTYN in all other countries in the world (the “Mundipharma Territories”).
On May 29, 2013, the Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement was amended and restated (the “Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement”), in order to modify: (i) the scope of the licensed territory, (ii) milestone payments, (iii) royalty rates, and (iv) drug development obligations. In connection with the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, we received a one-time $7 million payment from Mundipharma for certain research and development activities to be performed by us.
As a result of the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement, (a) Europe and Turkey were excluded from Mundipharma’s commercialization territory, (b) we may receive regulatory milestone payments of up to $16 million , and commercial progress and sales-dependent milestone payments of up to $107 million , (c) we will receive tiered double-digit royalties based on net sales of FOLOTYN within Mundipharma’s licensed territories, and (d) we and Mundipharma will bear our own FOLOTYN development costs.
On May 29, 2015 and effective as of May 1, 2015, we entered into an amendment to the Amended Mundipharma Collaboration Agreement (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to the Amendment, among other things, the parties revised the conditions to our exercise of the option to gain commercialization rights in Switzerland from Mundipharma, and also revised tiered double-digit royalties payable by Mundipharma on net sales in Switzerland.
The fair value of this liability is included in the current and long-term portions of “drug development liability” within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and it includes our assumptions about personnel needed to perform these research and development activities, third party costs for projected clinical trial enrollment, and patient treatment-related follow up through approximately 2031.

The fair value of our “drug development liability” within our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets was estimated using the discounted income approach model. The unobservable inputs (i.e., Level 3 inputs - see Note 2(xiii) ) in this valuation model that have the most significant effect on these liabilities include (i) estimates of research and development personnel costs needed to perform the research and development services, (ii) estimates of expected cash outflows to third parties for services and supplies during the expected period of performance through 2031, and (iii) an appropriate discount rate for these expenditures. These inputs are reviewed by management on a quarterly basis for continued applicability.
We assess this liability at each reporting date and record its adjustment through “research and development” expense in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(a) Facility Leases
We lease our principal executive office in Henderson, Nevada under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring April 30, 2019 . We also lease our research and development facility in Irvine, California under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring May 31, 2019 , in addition to several other administrative office leases. Each lease agreement contains scheduled rent increases which are accounted for on a straight-line basis.
(b) In/Out Licensing Agreements and Co-Development Arrangements
The in-license agreements for our commercialized and development-stage drug products provide us with territory-specific rights to their manufacture and distribution (including further sub-licensing/out-licensing, rights). We are generally responsible for all related clinical development costs, patent filings and maintenance costs, marketing costs, and liability insurance costs. We are also obligated to make specified milestone payments to our licensors upon the achievement of certain regulatory and sales milestones, and to pay royalties based on our net sales of all in-licensed products. We also enter into out-license agreements for territory-specific rights to our drug products which include one or more of: upfront license fees, royalties from our licensees’ sales, and/or milestone payments from our licensees’ sales or regulatory achievements. For certain development-stage drug products, we may enter into cost-sharing arrangements with our licensees and licensors.
Our most significant of these agreements, and the key financial terms and our accounting for each, are summarized below:
(i) ZEVALIN U.S.: In-Licensing and Development in the U.S.
In December 2008, we acquired rights to commercialize and develop ZEVALIN in the U.S. as the result of a transaction with Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (“CTI”) through our wholly-owned subsidiary, RIT Oncology LLC (“RIT”). We assumed certain agreements with various third parties related to ZEVALIN intellectual property for its manufacture, use, and sale in the U.S.
In accordance with the terms of assumed contracts, we are required to meet specified payment obligations, including a milestone payment to Corixa Corporation of $5 million based on ZEVALIN sales in the U.S. (the “Corixa Liability”). This milestone has not yet been met, and $0.1 million for this potential milestone achievement is included within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. Our U.S. net sales-based royalties are in the low to mid-single digits to Genentech, Inc. and mid-teens to Biogen.

(Unaudited)


(ii) ZEVALIN Ex-U.S.: In-License and Asset Purchase Agreement with Bayer Pharma
In April 2012, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Cayman, L.P., we completed a €19 million acquisition of licensing rights to market ZEVALIN outside of the U.S. from Bayer. ZEVALIN is currently approved in approximately 40 countries outside the U.S. for the treatment of B-cell NHL, including countries in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
Our ex-U.S. net sales-based royalty to Bayer ranges between the single digits to mid-teens. We amended the agreement in February 2016, which provides that our applicable royalty on net sales to Bayer would be adjusted to a tiered rate (from the current single-digits to a 20% rate) in such countries that we elect to sublicense these rights. The term of the agreement, as amended, continues until the expiration of the last-to-expire patent covering the sale of a licensed product in the relevant country, or 15  years from the date of first commercial sale of the licensed product in such country, whichever is longer.
(iii) ZEVALIN Ex-U.S.: Out-License Agreement with Dr. Reddy’s
Effective June 27, 2014, we executed an exclusive License Agreement with Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd. (“Dr. Reddy’s”), for the distribution rights of ZEVALIN within India. The agreement term is 15 years from the receipt of pending approval of ZEVALIN from the Drug Controller General of India. On December 17, 2014, upon the execution of a supply agreement, an upfront and non-refundable payment of $0.5 million was triggered and paid to us in February 2015. The recognition of the applicable portion of this upfront receipt is reported on a straight-line basis, within “license fees and service revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over a 10 -year term through December 2024. Additionally, sales and regulatory milestones (aggregating $3 million ) are due to us when achieved by Dr. Reddy’s, as well as a 20% royalty on net sales of ZEVALIN in India.
(iv) ZEVALIN Ex-U.S.: Out-License Agreement with Mundipharma
On November 16, 2015, we entered into an out-license agreement with Mundipharma for their commercialization of ZEVALIN in Asia (excluding India and Greater China), Australia, New Zealand, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America (including the Caribbean). In return, we received $18 million (comprised of $15 million received in December 2015 and $3 million received in January 2016). Of these proceeds, $15 million was recognized within "license fees and service revenue" in the fourth quarter of 2015. Of the remaining $3 million received, $0.6 million and $0.4 million were recognized in the same caption for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. As of March 31, 2017 , $0.6 million remains deferred and is presented within current "deferred revenue" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As Mundipharma has sales of ZEVALIN kits in their territories, the remaining unrecognized portion of this $3 million value will be recognized by us in subsequent periods within "license fees and service revenue" on an established per-unit basis. Mundipharma is required to reimburse us for our payment of royalties due to Bayer from their net sales of ZEVALIN (see Note 16(b)(ii)). We are also eligible to receive an additional $2 million upon Mundipharma's achievement of a specified sales milestone that, if/when achieved, will also be reported within "license fees and service revenue".
(v) FUSILEV: In-License Agreement with Merck & Cie AG
In May 2006, we amended and restated a license agreement with Merck & Cie AG (“Merck”), which we assumed in connection with our March 2006 acquisition of the assets of Targent, Inc. Pursuant to the license agreement with Merck, we obtained the exclusive license to use regulatory filings related to FUSILEV and a non-exclusive license under certain patents and know-how to develop, manufacture, use, and sell FUSILEV in the field of oncology in North America in return for a royalty percentage (in the mid-single digits) of net sales. Merck is eligible to receive a $0.2 million payment from us upon the achievement of a FDA approval of an oral form of FUSILEV. This milestone has not yet been met, and no amounts have been accrued in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for its potential achievement.
(vi) FOLOTYN: In-License Agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute, SRI International and Southern Research Institute
In December 2002, Allos entered into the FOLOTYN License Agreement with Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research, SRI International, and Southern Research Institute. As a result of Allos becoming our wholly owned subsidiary in September 2012, we are bound by the FOLOTYN License Agreement under which we obtained exclusive worldwide rights to a portfolio of patents and patent applications related to FOLOTYN and its uses. Under the terms of the FOLOTYN License Agreement, we are required to fund all development programs and have sole responsibility for all commercialization activities. In addition, we pay graduated royalties to our licensors based on our worldwide annual net sales of FOLOTYN

30


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


(including our sub-licensees). These royalties are 8% of annual worldwide net sales up to $150 million ; 9% of annual worldwide net sales of $150 million through $300 million ; and 11% of annual worldwide net sales in excess of $300 million .
(vii) EVOMELA: In-License Agreement with Cydex Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
In March 2013, we completed the acquisition of exclusive global development and commercialization rights to
EVOMELA from Ligand (see Note 9(b) ) and assumed responsibility for EVOMELA's ongoing clinical and regulatory development program. We filed a New Drug Application ("NDA") with the FDA in December 2015 for its use as a conditioning treatment prior to autologous stem cell transplant for patients with MM. On March 10, 2016, the FDA communicated its approval of our NDA for EVOMELA. In connection with this FDA approval, we made a $6 million milestone payment to Ligand in April 2016. The distribution rights for EVOMELA are within "intangible assets, net of accumulated amortization and impairment charges" (see Note 3(f) ) and is included within our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017 .
    
We are required to pay Ligand additional amounts of up to $60 million (exclusive of the $6 million milestone paid in April 2016), upon the achievement of specified net sales thresholds. We also pay royalties of 20% on our net sales of licensed products in all territories.
(viii) MARQIBO: Acquisition of Talon Therapeutics, Inc. and Related Contingent Consideration Agreement
In July 2013, we completed the acquisition of Talon, through which we obtained exclusive global development and commercialization rights to MARQIBO (see Note 9(a) ). As part of this acquisition, the former Talon stockholders have contingent financial rights that we have valued and presented on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a $1.5 million and $1.3 million liability within “acquisition-related contingent obligations” as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The maximum payout value of the contingent financial rights is $195 million , assuming all sales and regulatory approval milestones are achieved.
(ix) QAPZOLA: License Agreements with Allergan, Inc. and NDDO Research Foundation
In October 2008, we entered into an exclusive development and commercialization collaboration agreement with Allergan for QAPZOLA. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Allergan paid us an up-front non-refundable fee of $41.5 million at closing (which we have amortized through revenue within “license fees and service revenue” in full as of December 31, 2013). In October 2008, pursuant to a letter agreement with NDDO Research Foundation (“NDDO”), we agreed to pay NDDO the following in relation to QAPZOLA milestones: (a) upon FDA acceptance of the NDA, the issuance of 25,000 of our common shares (which occurred in March 2016); the $0.1 million value of these shares was included in "research and development" expense for the year ended December 31, 2016, and (b) upon FDA approval of the drug, a one-time payment of $0.3 million .
In January 2013, we entered into a second amendment to the license, development, supply and distribution agreement with Allergan to amend the agreement and reacquire the rights originally licensed to Allergan in the U.S., Europe, and other territories in exchange for a tiered single-digit royalty on certain products containing QAPZOLA, and relieved Allergan of its development and commercialization obligations.
(x) QAPZOLA: Collaboration Agreement with Nippon Kayaku Co. LTD.
In November 2009, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Nippon Kayaku Co., LTD. (“Nippon Kayaku”) for the development and commercialization of QAPZOLA in Asia, except North and South Korea (the “Nippon Kayaku Territory”). In addition, Nippon Kayaku received exclusive rights to QAPZOLA for the treatment of NMIBC in Asia (other than North and South Korea), including Japan and China. Nippon Kayaku will conduct QAPZOLA clinical trials in the Nippon Kayaku Territory pursuant to a development plan. Further, Nippon Kayaku will be responsible for all expenses relating to the development and commercialization of QAPZOLA in the Nippon Kayaku Territory.
Under the terms of this agreement, Nippon Kayaku paid us an upfront fee of $15 million (which we have amortized through revenue within “license fees and service revenue” in full as of December 31, 2013). Nippon Kayaku is also obligated to make additional payments to us based on the achievement of certain development, regulatory and commercialization milestones. Under the terms of the agreement, we are entitled to payment of $10 million and $126 million upon achievement of certain regulatory and commercialization milestones, respectively. Also, Nippon Kayaku has agreed to pay us royalties based on a percentage of net sales of the subject products in the defined territory in the mid-teen digits.
(xi) BELEODAQ: In-License and Collaboration Agreement with Onxeo

31


Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


In February 2010, we entered into an in-license and collaboration agreement with TopoTarget A/S (now Onxeo DK) (“Onxeo”), as amended in October 2013, for the development and commercialization of BELEODAQ for a $30 million upfront payment plus additional payments described below. The agreement provides that we have the exclusive right to manufacture, develop, and commercialize BELEODAQ in North America and India, with an option for China.
Under continuing terms, all development, including studies, will be conducted under a joint development plan, which we will fund 70% of such costs, and Onxeo will fund 30% . We have final decision-making authority for all developmental activities in North America and India (and China upon exercise of its option). Onxeo has final decision-making authority for all developmental activities in all other jurisdictions. In February 2014, upon FDA acceptance of our NDA, we issued one million  shares of our common stock, and made a $10 million milestone payment to Onxeo. The aggregate payout value of this first milestone at achievement was $17.8 million , and was recognized within “research and development” expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in the first quarter of 2014.
In July 2014, we received approval from the FDA for BELEODAQ’s use for injection and treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma ("PTCL"). As a result, we paid a second milestone payment to Onxeo of $25 million in November 2014, which we capitalized as an amortizable intangible asset (see Note 3(f) ). Other potential milestone payments due upon BELEODAQ regulatory achievements and sales thresholds (aggregating $278 million ) are not included within “total liabilities” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We pay Onxeo royalties in the mid-teen digits based on net sales of BELEODAQ. The agreement will continue until the expiration of the last royalty payment period in the last country in the defined territory.
(xii) ROLONTIS: Co-Development and Commercialization Agreement with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd
In October 2014, we exercised our option under a License Option and Research Collaboration Agreement dated January 2012 (as amended) with Hanmi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., or Hanmi, for ROLONTIS, formerly known as “LAPS-G-CSF" or "SPI-2012”, a drug based on Hanmi’s proprietary LAPSCOVERY™ technology for the treatment of chemotherapy induced neutropenia. Under the terms of this agreement, as amended, we have primary financial responsibility for the ROLONTIS development plan. We have worldwide rights for ROLONTIS, except for Korea, China, and Japan. In the first quarter of 2016, we accrued a milestone payment of $1.9 million (as quantified under GAAP) related to Hanmi, based on initial patient dosing in January 2016 as part of our Phase 3 study. On April 26, 2016, we (i) issued 318,750 of our common shares to Hanmi for $2.3 million , and (ii) remitted a $0.4 million payment to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on their behalf for related tax obligations. This aggregate $2.7 million value was recognized within "research and development" expense in accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. We will also be responsible for milestones relating to regulatory approvals and sales thresholds (aggregating $238 million ), which are not included within "total liabilities" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We will pay Hanmi royalties in the mid-teen digits on our net sales of ROLONTIS.
(xiii) POZIOTINIB: In-License Agreement with Hanmi
In February 2015, we executed an in-license agreement with Hanmi for POZIOTINIB, a pan-HER inhibitor in Phase 2 clinical trials, requiring our upfront payment for these rights. This drug has shown single agent activity in the treatment of various cancer types during Phase I studies, including breast, gastric, colorectal, and lung cancers.
Under the terms of this agreement, we received the exclusive rights to commercialize POZIOTINIB, excluding Korea and China. Hanmi, and its development partners, will bear full responsibility for completion of on-going Phase 2 trials in Korea. We will bear full financial responsibility for all other clinical studies. We will pay Hanmi future regulatory and sales-dependent milestone payments (aggregating $358 million ), which are not included within “total liabilities” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We will pay Hanmi royalties in the low to mid-teen digits on our net sales of POZIOTINIB.
(xiv) ZEVALIN, FOLOTYN, BELEODAQ, and MARQIBO: Out-License Agreement with Servier in Canada
In January 2016, we entered into a strategic partnership with Servier for the out-licenses of ZEVALIN, FOLOTYN, BELEODAQ, and MARQIBO. We received an aggregate $6 million of upfront proceeds in the first quarter of 2016, which is recognized within "license fees and service revenue" in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 . We will also receive development milestone payments upon the achievement of such regulatory milestones, and a high single-digit royalty on their sales of these products.

(Unaudited)


(c) Service Agreements
In connection with the research and development of our drug products, we have entered into contracts with numerous third party service providers, such as radio-pharmacies, distributors, clinical trial centers, clinical research organizations, data monitoring centers, and with drug formulation, development and testing laboratories. The financial terms of these agreements are varied and generally obligate us to pay in stages, depending on achievement of certain events specified in the agreements, such as contract execution, reservation of service or production capacity, actual performance of service, or the successful accrual and dosing of patients.
At each period end, we accrue for all services received, with such accruals based on factors such as estimates of work performed, patient enrollment, completion of patient studies and other events. Should we decide to discontinue and/or slow-down the work on any project, the associated costs for those projects would be limited to the extent of the work completed. Generally, we are able to terminate these contracts due to the discontinuance of the related project(s) and thus avoid paying for the services that have not yet been rendered.
(d) Supply Agreements
We have entered into certain supply agreements, or have issued purchase orders, which require us to make minimum purchases from vendors for the manufacture of our products. These commitments do not exceed our planned commercial requirements, and the contracted prices do not exceed their fair market value.
(e) Employment Agreement
We have entered into an employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer under which cash compensation and benefits would become payable in the event of termination by us for any reason other than cause, his resignation for good reason, or upon a change in control of our Company.
 
(f) Deferred Compensation Plan
The Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “DC Plan”) is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors and is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The DC Plan is maintained to provide deferred compensation benefits for a select group of our employees (the “DC Participants”). Under the DC Plan, we provide the DC Participants with the opportunity to make annual elections to defer up to a specified amount or percentage of their eligible cash compensation, and we have the option to make discretionary contributions. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , the aggregate DC Plan deferrals by employees and our discretionary contributions totaled $8.9 million and $8.4 million , respectively, and are included within “other long-term liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(g) Litigation
We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and other general claims.
We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
ANDA Litigation
On June 3, 2016 the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed judgment in favor of the FDA et. al in an action we brought April 27, 2015 seeking a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction to suspend FDA approval of Sandoz's ANDA of FUSILEV. On June 9, 2016 and June 22, 2016, respectively, judgment was entered in favor of additional parties who had filed separate ANDAs to manufacture generic versions of FUSILEV. On June 19, 2014, we filed a lawsuit

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(all tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share, per share, per unit, and number of years)
(Unaudited)


against five parties resulting from Paragraph IV certifications in connection with four separate ANDAs to manufacture a generic version of FOLOTYN. We reached confidential settlement agreements with each defendant and the FOLOTYN litigation has been dismissed as of August 17, 2016. As a result of the settlements, the defendants will be permitted to market a generic version of FOLOTYN in the United States commencing on November 15, 2022 or earlier under certain circumstances. All costs pertaining to these matters (incurred and accrued) have been recognized within "selling, general and administrative" expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.
Stockholder Litigation
Timothy Fik v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 11, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00624-JCM-CWH); Christopher J. Watkins v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 22, 2013 in United States District Court, District of Nevada; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00684-JCM-VCF); and Stefan Muenchhagen v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed May 28, 2013; Case Number 2:2013-cv-00942-APG-PAL) (collectively the "Federal Derivative Actions"); Hardik Kakadia v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed April 23, 2013 in the Eighth Judicial Court of the State of Nevada in and for Clark County; Case Number A-13-680643-B); and Joel Besner v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed May 31, 2013; Case Number A-13-682668-C) (collectively the "State Derivative Actions"). These consolidated Federal Derivative Actions and consolidated State Derivative Actions are brought by the respective purported stockholders on behalf of nominal plaintiff Spectrum against certain current and former directors and officers. The complaints are substantially similar and generally allege breaches of fiduciary duty based on conduct relating to a March 12, 2013 press release concerning sales of Spectrum's product FUSILEV. The complaints seek compensatory damages, corporate governance reforms, restitution and disgorgement of defendants’ alleged profits, and costs and fees. These actions are stayed. On April 11, 2017, the parties executed a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement covering the consolidated Federal Derivative Actions. Pursuant to the Agreement of Settlement, Spectrum through its insurers agreed to pay $530,000 for plaintiffs' attorneys' fees and expenses. The Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement was filed with the Eighth Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for Clark County on April 13, 2017, and is subject to preliminary and final court approval. We have estimated and accrued for this settlement within "selling, general and administrative expenses" in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and within "other accrued liabilities" in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2017 .
Olutayo Ayeni v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. (Filed September 21, 2016 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:16-cv-07074) (the "Ayeni Action") and Glen Hartsock v. Spectrum Pharmaceuticals, Inc., et al. (Filed September 28, 2016 in the United States District Court, District Court of Nevada Case; No. 2:16-cv-02279-RFB-GWF) (the "Hartsock Action"). On November 15, 2016, the Ayeni Action was transferred to the United States District Court, District Court of Nevada. The parties have stipulated to a consolidation of the Ayeni Action with the Hartsock Action. These class action lawsuits allege that we and certain of our executive officers made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts about our business and the prospects of approval for our NDA to the FDA for QAPZOLA in violation of Section 10(b) (and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The plaintiffs seek damages, interest, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other unspecified equitable relief. We believe that these claims are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against these claims. The value of a potential settlement cannot be reasonably estimated given its highly uncertain nature as of March 31, 2017 .
Wells v. Rajesh C. Shrotriya, et al. (Filed February 23, 2017, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware;  Case No. 1:17-cv-00191-UNA). A shareholder filed a derivative complaint purportedly on behalf of nominal plaintiff Spectrum against certain current and former directors and executive officers.  The complaint is related to the same underlying factual allegations as the Ayeni Action and the Hartsock Action described above. On April 13, 2017, the plaintiff voluntarily dismissed the complaint.

17. INCOME TAXES
We apply an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision for interim periods, as required under GAAP. We recorded a benefit for income taxes of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Our ETR differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily as a result of nondeductible expenses, state income taxes, foreign income taxes, and the impact of a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets.

34



Our provision for income taxes is computed using the asset and liability method, under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and credit carryforwards.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years in which those tax assets are expected to be realized. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not the future realization of all or some of the deferred tax assets will not be achieved. The evaluation of the need for a valuation allowance is performed on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis, and includes a review of all available positive and negative evidence.
We recognize the impact of a tax position in our financial statements only if that position is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. Any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions will be reflected in income tax expense.
The intra period tax allocation rules require that we allocate the provision for income taxes between continuing operations and other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income. In periods where we have a year-to-date pretax loss from continuing operations and year-to-date pre-tax income in other categories of earnings, such as other comprehensive income, ASC 740-20-45-7 requires that we allocate the income tax provision to other categories of earnings, and then record a related tax benefit in continuing operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized net income from investments and currency transactions within other comprehensive income while sustaining operating losses from continuing operations. As a result of the required allocation under ASC 740-20-45-7, we recorded tax expense of $1.0 million and $0.8 million in "other comprehensive income" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss, and a tax benefit of $0.2 million and $0.1 million within "benefit for income taxes" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and 2016 , respectively.

On January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU 2016-09 , Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, on a modified prospective basis . Under ASU 2016-09 , differences between the tax deduction for share based awards and the related compensation expenses recognized under ASC 718 are now accounted for as a component of the provision for income taxes. In addition, ASU 2016-09 eliminated the requirement that excess tax benefits from share based compensation reduce taxes payable prior to being recognized in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2016, we had cumulative excess benefits related to share based compensation of $2.7 million which had not been reflected as a deferred tax asset. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 , the excess benefits were reclassified to our net operating loss carryover resulting in an increase in our deferred tax assets and valuation allowance of $2.7 million as of January 1, 2017. There was no impact to retained earnings as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017.

18. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Sale of Common Stock - December 2015 ATM Agreement
On December 23, 2015, we entered into a collective at-market-issuance sales agreement with FBR Capital Markets & Co., MLV & Co. LLC, and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC. (the “December 2015 ATM Agreement”), through which we are able to raise gross proceeds of up to $100 million from the sale of our common stock through these brokers under our shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-208760), declared effective by the SEC on February 3, 2016.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2016, we sold and issued shares of our common stock under the December 2015 ATM Agreement, as summarized in the following table:

There were no sales of our common stock under the December 2015 ATM Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2017 .




Conversion of Series E Convertible Voting Preferred Stock
In June 2016, our then outstanding 20 shares of Series E convertible voting preferred stock were converted (at the election of the preferred stockholders) into an aggregate of 40,000 common shares; a $6 thousand dividend in arrears was paid upon this conversion.

Recent Highlights in Our Business, Product Development Initiatives, and Regulatory Approvals
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , and through the filing date of this quarterly report, we accomplished various critical business objectives, which included:
ROLONTIS, a novel long-acting G-CSF: A pivotal Phase 3 study (ADVANCE Study, or SPI-GCF-301) was initiated in the first quarter of 2016 to evaluate ROLONTIS as a treatment for chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Based on the amended Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) received from the FDA, the size of the ADVANCE study was reduced to 400 from 580 evaluable patients. The ADVANCE study is now 75% enrolled and we expect to complete enrollment in the second half of this year. To strengthen our forthcoming Biologics License Application (BLA) package for FDA review, we have initiated a second pivotal Phase 3 study (RECOVER Study, or SPI-GCF-302), which is expected to

38


Table of Contents

enroll 218 patients in total, and include sites in the U.S., Europe, Canada and South Korea. We expect to file our BLA with the FDA for this indication of ROLONTIS in 2018.
QAPZOLA, a potent tumor-activated drug being investigated for NMIBC: We submitted a New Drug Application (NDA) on December 11, 2015 which was accepted on February 9, 2016. On November 17, 2016, we received a Complete Response Letter. We have since developed a new Phase 3 study for QAPZOLA, and in February 2017, we received a SPA from the FDA. The new Phase 3 study has been specifically designed to build on learnings from the previous studies, as well as recommendations from the FDA. Compared to the previous study, this study will (i) use twice the dosage of QAPZOLA (8mg versus 4mg), (ii) will evaluate far fewer patients (425 versus 1,557), and (iii) will evaluate time-to-recurrence as the primary endpoint. We have many investigator sites identified and expect to start enrolling patients in the third quarter of 2017.

POZIOTINIB, a novel pan-HER inhibitor:
In March 2016, we initiated a Phase 2 breast cancer trial for POZIOTINIB, after promising Phase 1 study efficacy data. The Phase 2 study is an open-label study that will enroll approximately 75 patients with HER-2 positive metastatic breast cancer, who have failed at least two, and no more than four, HER-2 directed therapies. The dose and schedule of oral POZIOTINIB is based on clinical experience from the studies in South Korea, and will include the use of prophylactic therapies to help minimize the known side-effects of pan-HER directed therapies.

In collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, an investigator sponsored trial is being initiated with POZIOTINIB in non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations. This study is expected to yield results before December 31, 2017. During March 2017, the first patient with exon 20 insertion mutation was treated with POZIOTINIB on a compassionate-use basis with encouraging results. Tumors with exon 20 mutations have generally not been responsive to several other EGFR inhibitors. However, POZIOTINIB, due to its unique structure and characteristics, is believed to inhibit cell growth of EGFR exon 20 insertions.

In addition to the above studies, other Phase 2 studies for POZIOTINIB in breast, lung, head-and-neck, and gastric cancer indications are being conducted in South Korea by Hanmi Pharmaceuticals and National OncoVenture.

Product sales, net . To derive net product sales, gross product revenues in each period are reduced by management's latest estimated provisions for (i) product returns, (ii) government chargebacks, (iii) prompt pay discounts, (iv) commercial rebates, (v) Medicaid rebates, and (vi) distribution, data, and group purchasing organization, or GPO, administrative fees. Management considers various factors in the determination of these provisions, which are described in more detail within " Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates " of our 2016 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

FUSILEV revenue decrease is attributable to a continued significant decline in our unit sales and net average sales price due to the competitive launch of generic levo-leucovorin product in April 2015 - see Note 3(f) . We expect to report further FUSILEV quarterly net sales declines in 2017 due to this continued pricing pressure from generic competition.
FOLOTYN revenue decrease is due to a decrease in the units sold, partially offset by an increase in the net average sales price per unit in the current period.
ZEVALIN revenue remained consistent to the prior year period, due to unit sales and net average sales price remaining flat.
MARQIBO revenue increase is due to an increase in both the units sold and the net average sales price per unit in the current period.
BELEODAQ revenue decreased slightly as a result of a decrease in the units sold, partially offset by an increase in the average net sales price per unit in the current period.
EVOMELA revenue in the current period is a result of our commercial launch of this product in April 2016, thus there were no sales for this product in the prior year period.
License fees and service revenue. Our license fees and service revenue in the current period decreased by $5.3 million due to the following: (i) an upfront receipt of $6 million for the out-license of ZEVALIN, FOLOTYN, BELEODAQ and MARQIBO (see Note 12 ), which did not reoccur in the current period, partially offset by (ii) a $0.5 million increase in fees from our co-promotion with Eagle ( see Note 13 ), and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in ZEVALIN out-license royalties.

Cost of Product Sales . Cost of product sales increased in the current period, despite our net product revenue decline. This increase is due to our comparative product sales mix in these periods (particularly with respect to FUSILEV), and the inclusion of EVOMELA sales in the current year period that was not present in the prior year period due to its commercial launch in April 2016.
Cost of Service Revenue . Cost of service revenue increased in the current period due to an increase in the allocation percentage of commercial and marketing expenses (from "selling, general, and administrative" expenses) for our promotion and sale of Eagle products (see Note 13 ).
Selling, General and Administrative . Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.4 million in the current period largely due to legal expenses related to FOLOTYN patent litigation matters in the first quarter of 2016, which did not reoccur in the current year period. In addition, in the current period we increased our allocation of employee costs that would have otherwise been reported in this account to "cost of service revenue" - all related to the promotion and sale of Eagle products (see Note 13 ).

Research and Development. Research and development expenses decreased by $0.8 million in the current period due to the (i) achievement and recognition of the ROLONTIS clinical milestone during the first quarter of 2016 (see Note 16(b)(xii) ), and (ii) our decreased EVOMELA development expenses with the product's commercial launch in April 2016. These decreases

were partially offset by current period increases in clinical trial costs associated with the progression of the ROLONTIS Phase 3 trial.
Amortization and Impairment Charges of Intangible Assets. Amortization expense increased by $1.1 million compared to the prior year period due to an adjustment of the amortization period of our FOLOTYN distribution rights to November 2022 from March 2025, representing the period through which we expect to have patent protection from generic competition (see Note 3(f) ).

Net Cash Used In Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , as compared to $7.1 million in the prior year period. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , our cash collections from customers totaled $35.2 million and $47.6 million , respectively, representing 120.8% and 108.4% of reported net revenue for the same years. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , cash payments to our employees, vendors, and end-users for products, services, chargebacks, and rebates totaled $58.0 million and $55.5 million , respectively.
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities

42


Table of Contents

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million  for each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, and primarily relates to $0.1 million of property and equipment purchases made during each period.
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 , as compared to $0.3 million in the prior year period. Our cash used in financing activities during the first three months of 2017 primarily relates to $0.9 million for the purchase and retirement of restricted stock (at our employees’ election), in order to meet their respective federal and state tax obligations at the time of stock vesting, partially offset by $0.1 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock as a result of the exercise of employee stock options.
Convertible Senior Notes Due 2018
On December 17, 2013, we entered into an agreement for the sale of $120 million aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Convertible Senior Notes due December 2018, or the 2018 Convertible Notes. The 2018 Convertible Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 95 shares per $1,000 principal amount of the 2018 Convertible Notes, totaling 11.4 million common shares if fully converted. The in-the-money conversion price is equivalent to $10.53 per common share. The conversion rate and conversion price are subject to adjustment under certain limited circumstances. We may settle conversions of the 2018 Convertible Notes by paying or delivering, as the case may be, cash, shares of our common stock, or a combination of cash and shares, at our election.
The 2018 Convertible Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.75% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2014. The 2018 Convertible Notes will mature and become payable on December 15, 2018, subject to earlier conversion into common stock at the holders’ option upon the occurrence of certain circumstances.
The sale of the 2018 Convertible Notes closed on December 23, 2013 and our net proceeds were $115.4 million, after deducting banker and professional fees of $4.6 million. We used a portion of these proceeds to simultaneously enter into “bought call” and “sold warrant” transactions with Royal Bank of Canada, collectively referred to as the Note Hedge. We recorded the Note Hedge on a net cost basis of $13.1 million, as a reduction to “additional paid-in capital” in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under applicable GAAP, the Note Hedge transaction has not been (and is not expected to be) marked-to-market through earnings or comprehensive income.
In December 2016, we completed two open market purchases of our 2018 Convertible Notes, aggregating 9,963 note units (equivalent to $10.0 million principal value) for $9.0 million. We recognized an aggregate loss of $25,000 on the retirement of these 2018 Convertible Notes (based on its carrying value under GAAP), which was included in "other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2017 , $110 million in principal of our 2018 Convertible Notes is outstanding.
We concurrently unwound a portion of our previously sold warrants and previously purchased call options that were part of our "conversion hedge" (see Note 14 ) for aggregate net proceeds of $21,000, with a corresponding net increase to "additional paid-in capital" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016.
Future Capital Requirements
We believe that the future growth of our business will depend on our ability to successfully develop and acquire new drugs for the treatment of cancer and successfully bring these drugs to market.
The timing and amount of our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:  
the need for additional capital to fund future development programs;
the need for additional capital to fund strategic acquisitions;
the need for additional capital to fund licensing arrangements;
our requirement for additional information technology infrastructure and systems; and
adverse outcomes from potential litigation and the cost to defend such litigation.

43


Table of Contents

We believe that our $137 million in aggregate cash and equivalents, and marketable securities as of March 31, 2017 will allow us to fund our current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months. However, we may seek additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities (see Note 18 ), if necessary, especially in conjunction with opportunistic acquisitions or licensing arrangements. We may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our current stockholders and convertible senior note holders.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (except for operating leases) that provide financing, liquidity, market or credit risk support, or involve derivatives. In addition, we have no arrangements that may expose us to liability that are not expressly reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and/or notes thereto.
As of March 31, 2017 , we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities,” established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not subject to any material financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates, credit ratings and foreign currency exchange rates.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing yields without significantly increasing risk. We do not utilize hedging contracts or similar instruments. Because of our ability to generally redeem these investments at par at short notice and without penalty, changes in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on the fair value of these investments. If a 10% change in interest rates were to have occurred on March 31, 2017 , any decline in the fair value of our investments would not be material in the context of our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we are exposed to certain market risks associated with credit ratings of corporations whose corporate bonds we may purchase from time to time. If these companies were to experience a significant detrimental change in their credit ratings, the fair market value of such corporate bonds may significantly decrease. If these companies were to default on these corporate bonds, we may lose part or all of our principal. We believe that we effectively manage this market risk by diversifying our investments, and investing in highly rated securities.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to payments we make to vendors, suppliers and license partners in Euros (and other currencies to a lesser extent). We mitigate such risk by maintaining a limited portion of our cash in Euros.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017 . The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. These include controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017 , our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the first quarter of 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

44


Table of Contents

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Controls
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in any control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. We are continuously seeking to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations and of our internal controls.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are involved from time-to-time with various legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. These claims and legal proceedings are of a nature we believe are normal and incidental to a pharmaceutical business, and may include product liability, intellectual property, employment matters, and other general claims. We are also subject to derivative lawsuits from time-to-time.

We make provisions for liabilities when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such provisions are assessed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impact of any settlement negotiations, judicial and administrative rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. Although the ultimate resolution of these various matters cannot be determined at this time, we do not believe that such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.

Certain of the legal proceedings in which we are involved are discussed in Note 16 , “Commitments and Contingencies,” to our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and are hereby incorporated by reference.
ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS
As of the date of this filing, there have been no material changes to the RISK FACTORS included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 , filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2017.

LICENSE AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This License and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 23, 2012 (the “ Execution Date ”) (as amended or otherwise modified, the “ Agreement ”), is between Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Cayman, L.P., an Exempted Limited Partnership organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“ Purchaser ”) and Bayer Pharma AG, a German aktiengesellschaft (“ Bayer ”).

- 15 -



Purchaser’s rights in the Shared Licensed IP) under any Third Party Agreement in consultation with Purchaser and in a manner that is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and in consultation with Purchaser, take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain and enforce such rights with respect to the Business-Specific Licensed IP in the Territory and to the Shared Licensed IP (with regard to the Shared Licensed IP, to the extent such actions affect Purchaser’s rights in the Shared Licensed IP) under Third Party Agreements. To the extent Bayer is unwilling or unable to maintain and enforce such rights, Bayer shall cooperate in allowing Purchaser to do so, and Purchaser’s expenses thereof shall be set-off against amounts otherwise due from Purchaser to Bayer under this Agreement.

Bayer agrees to provide Purchaser with copies of any and all amendments to the Biogen Agreement concurrently with each such amendment.

3.6      Consents .
3.6.1      This Agreement does not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Transferred Contract, Transferred Permit or other Acquired Asset that is not assignable or transferable without the consent of or action by another Person (other than Bayer or any of its Affiliates) or action by a Governmental Authority, which shall be set forth on Schedule 3.6 , to the extent that such consent has not been given or such action has not been taken prior to the Closing; provided , however , that Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, use, both prior to and after the Closing, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and Purchaser will assist and cooperate with Bayer in connection therewith, all necessary consents to the assignment and transfer thereof, it being understood that to the extent the foregoing requires any action by Bayer or any of its Affiliates that would affect the Business after the Closing, such action will require the prior written consent of Purchaser. Upon obtaining the requisite third party consents thereto,

- 27 -



such Transferred Contract, Transferred Permit or other Acquired Asset will be deemed transferred and assigned to Purchaser hereunder.
3.6.2      With respect to any Transferred Contract, Transferred Permit or other Acquired Asset that is not transferred or assigned to Purchaser at the Closing by reason of Section 3.6.1 (a “ Nonassigned Asset ”), after the Closing and until the requisite consent is obtained and the foregoing is transferred and assigned to Purchaser, Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, take commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Purchaser the benefits thereof (or substantially comparable benefits) and will enforce, at the request of and for the account of Purchaser, any rights of Bayer or any of its Affiliates arising thereunder against any Person, including the right to elect to terminate in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice of Purchaser. If Purchaser is provided with benefits of any Nonassigned Asset, Purchaser will perform, at the direction and cost of Bayer or its Affiliate, as applicable, the obligations of Bayer or its Affiliate thereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, to the extent that any Assumed Liability relates to any Nonassigned Asset, such Assumed Liability will not be deemed to be an Assumed Liability unless and until such Nonassigned Asset is transferred and assigned to Purchaser or Purchaser obtains the benefit of such Nonassigned Asset under this Section 3.6.2, at which point such Liability will become an Assumed Liability hereunder. The provisions of this Section 3.6 will in no way be deemed to be a waiver on the part of Purchaser of the closing condition set forth in Section 11.6.
3.7      Consent Costs . Bayer shall be solely responsible for obtaining the Biogen Consent and the consent required, if any, to assign the Fuji Contract. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent any other third party requires consideration in exchange for (a) a consent to be obtained by Bayer, as set forth on Schedule 7.4 or (b) a consent to be obtained by Purchaser, as set forth on Schedule 8.4 , the payment of such consideration will be shared equally between Bayer and Purchaser except:
(i)      if such consideration to a third party was explicitly set forth as a requirement for a consent in the underlying Contractual Obligation with such third party or was known by the party to the Contractual Obligation as of the Execution Date, the cost of obtaining the consent will be borne solely by the party to the underlying Contractual Obligation; and
(ii)      if a third party requires a resolution of a dispute with respect to the underlying Contractual Obligation prior to providing a consent, the party to the Contractual Obligation is responsible for any and all costs associated with resolution of such dispute.
With regard to consideration paid to a third party in exchange for a consent that is to be shared equally between Bayer and Purchaser, the party to the underlying Contractual Obligation that is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent pursuant to Section 9.3 will control the negotiations with such third party, but may only agree to an amount of consideration to be paid to such third party with the consent of the other party hereto, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

4.    CONSIDERATION.
4.1     Consideration to Bayer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of the contribution, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser, Purchaser shall pay or deliver to Bayer, on behalf of Bayer and/or one or more of Bayer’s Affiliates, the following on the Closing Date:
(1)    one or more assignment and assumption agreements and the other agreements contemplated hereby to effect the assignment to Purchaser of all Acquired Assets and assumption by Purchaser of all Assumed Liabilities, duly executed by Purchaser; and
(2)    a non-refundable amount equal to the purchase price set forth in Schedule 4.1 (such amount, the “ Purchase Price ”) less the exclusivity fees of an amount of Euros as of the Closing Date equivalent to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars ($250,000) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in euros to an account designated by notice from Bayer.
4.2     Interest . Any payments due under this Agreement shall be due on such date as specified in this Agreement and, in the event such date is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day. Any failure by the Purchaser or Bayer to make a payment within ten (10) Business Days after the date when due shall obligate the Purchaser or Bayer to pay computed interest, the interest period commencing on the due date and ending on the payment date, to the other party at a rate per annum equal to the EURIBOR for one month quoted two Business Days prior to due date by the European Banking Federation plus a premium of one percent (1%). These rates are currently published by Reuters on screen <EURIBOR>. The interest rate shall be adjusted monthly. Interests shall be paid using the modified following payment convention and calculated based on the actual/360 adjusted day count convention.
4.3    Payment Provisions.
4.3.1     Royalty Payments . In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser or its Affiliate will make royalty payments to Bayer by paying a percentage of Net Sales in the Territory of the Licensed Products, and for a period of time, all as set forth in Schedule 4.3.1 (the “ Royalty Payments ”).
4.3.2     Royalty Payment Reports and Payments . For as long as Purchaser is obligated to make Royalty Payments, within thirty five (35) days after the last day of each calendar quarter, Purchaser will deliver to Bayer a report of Net Sales of each Licensed Product by Purchaser, its Affiliates and Sublicensees during the preceding quarterly period (any such period, a “ Payment Period ”), with all Royalty Payments, if any, due for the Payment Period covered by such report being due no later than forty-five (45) days after the last day of such Payment Period.
4.3.3     Payment Method . Royalty Payments and payments for Transferred Inventory under this Agreement will be made by Purchaser or its Affiliates in Euros in each case by wire transfer to an account designated by Bayer.

- 29 -



4.3.4     Exchange Rate . For the purpose of computing Net Sales sold in a currency other than Euros, such currency shall be converted into Euros in accordance with Bayer’s customary and usual translation procedures set forth in Schedule 4.3.4 , consistently applied.
4.3.5     Withholdings . Any income Tax or other Tax which Purchaser is required by applicable Legal Requirements to withhold or pay to a Governmental Authority with respect to monies payable under this Agreement will be deducted from the amount of such payments and paid to the relevant Governmental Authority. Any amounts actually deducted, withheld or paid pursuant to the foregoing sentence will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding, deduction or payment was made. If Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is required to make any such payment, deduction or withholding, Purchaser will notify Bayer of such requirement thirty (30) days prior to the first time any particular type of payment requires such payment, deduction or withholding, and thereafter with respect to each subsequent payment of that type, indicate the details of the payment, deduction or withholding in its report to Bayer accompanying the payment with respect to which such payment, deduction or withholding has been made. Purchaser will promptly provide (or cause to be provided) to Bayer a certificate or other documentary evidence establishing the payment to the relevant Governmental Authority of any amount withheld or deducted by Purchaser or its Affiliates. No deduction shall be made or a reduced amount shall be deducted if Purchaser or its paying Affiliate is timely furnished with the necessary documents prescribed by applicable Legal Requirement in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser identifying that the payment is exempt from Tax or subject to a reduced Tax rate. Purchaser (and its Affiliates) and Bayer will reasonably cooperate in completing and filing documents required under the provisions of any applicable Tax treaty or under any other applicable Legal Requirement, in order to enable Purchaser to make such payments to Bayer without any deduction or withholding, or any reduced deduction or withholding, if possible.
4.3.6     VAT . Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3.6, value added tax (“ VAT ”) applies additionally as legally owed, payable after receipt of a correct invoice, which meets all requirements according to the applicable VAT Legal Requirements. If any documents or information are required to invoice the delivery of goods or services exempt from VAT and these documents or information can only be provided by Purchaser, Purchaser shall promptly provide these documents or information referring to provisions of the applicable law. If any of these documents or information are not provided duly or are incomplete Bayer shall invoice plus VAT if required and owed by applicable VAT-law. For the avoidance of doubt, Bayer and Purchaser’s current understanding of the Legal Requirements is that VAT does not apply under current Legal Requirements to transfers to Purchaser or a Luxembourg Affiliate of Purchas(including a Swiss branch of a Luxembourg Affiliate) in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.
4.4      Records; Audit . Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, keep and maintain for three (3) years after the relevant calendar quarter complete and accurate books and records in sufficient detail so that Net Sales and payments made hereunder can be properly calculated. No more frequently than once during each calendar year during the Term and once during the three (3) year period thereafter, Purchaser will permit independent third party auditors appointed by Bayer and with at least forty-five (45) days advance notice at any time during normal business hours, accompanied at all times, to inspect, audit and copy reasonable amounts of relevant accounts and records of Purchaser and its Affiliates and reports submitted to Purchaser and its Affiliates from Sublicensees pertaining to a Payment Period that

- 30 -



is not earlier than thirty-six (36) months from the date of conclusion of the audit, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the calculation of payments to Bayer pursuant to this Section 4. The accounts, records and reports related to any particular period of time may only be audited one time under this Section 4.4. Bayer will cause its independent third party auditors not to provide Bayer with any copies of such accounts, records or reports and not to disclose to Bayer any information other than information relating solely to the accuracy of the accounting and payments made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4. Bayer will cause its independent third party auditors to promptly provide a copy of their report to Purchaser. If such audit determines that payments are due to Bayer, Purchaser will pay to Bayer any such additional amounts within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and Bayer, unless such audit report is disputed by Purchaser, in which case the dispute will be resolved in accordance with Section 16.10. If such audit determines that Purchaser has overpaid any amounts to Bayer, Bayer will refund any such overpaid amounts to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to Purchaser and Bayer. Any such inspection of records will be at Bayer’s expense unless such audit discloses a deficiency in the payments made by Purchaser (whether for itself or on behalf of its Affiliates) of more than five percent (5.0%) of the aggregate amount payable for the relevant period, in which case Purchaser will bear the cost of such audit. Each of the parties agrees that all information subject to review under this Section 4.4 is Purchaser’s Confidential Information that is subject to Bayer’s confidentiality and non-use obligations under Section 9.6.2, and Bayer agrees that it will cause its independent third party auditors to also retain all such information subject to the non-disclosure and non-use restrictions of Section 9.6.2 or similar (but no less stringent) obligations of confidentiality and non-use customary in the accounting industry.
4.5    Purchase Price Allocation
(a)    The Purchase Price, the amount of the Assumed Liabilities, the royalty payments under Section 4.3.1 and the inventory payment under Section 5.1 (the “ Total Consideration ”) shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets pursuant to a written allocation schedule (the “ Allocation Schedule ”). Purchaser will complete a draft Allocation Schedule allocating the Total Consideration to the Acquired Assets and provide a copy to Bayer within 120 days after Closing.
(b)    Bayer shall notify Purchaser within 10 days after the receipt thereof if it agrees with the draft Allocation Schedule prepared by Purchaser. The agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld. Purchaser and Bayer shall attempt to resolve any disagreement in good faith. If Purchaser and Bayer fail to reach agreement as to an alternative allocation in the 10 days following such notice, the dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule shall be presented on the next Business Day to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually chosen by Purchaser and Bayer, and if Purchaser and Bayer cannot agree, mutually chosen by their respective independent accounting firms, for a decision that shall be rendered within 5 days thereafter. The independent accounting firm’s review shall be final and binding on all parties. The fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be shared in equal amounts by Bayer and Purchaser; provided, however, Bayer shall bear the full amount of fees, costs and

- 31 -



expenses if there are no material changes to the Allocation Schedule. Neither Seller nor Purchaser will file any tax return which is inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule.
5.
INVENTORY
5.1     Inventory Payment . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser will pay to Bayer an amount equal to Bayer’s Fully Loaded Standard Cost or such other amount based on Bayer’s Fully Loaded Standard Cost to be mutually agreed between the parties of all Transferred Inventory at the time such Transferred Inventory is transferred to Purchaser (such amount determined in accordance with the Inventory Agreement).

The parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) provide the required notices to, and/or obtain the authorizations, approvals, consents or waivers from, Governmental Authorities and third parties in order to transfer all Transferred Permits to Purchaser or its Affiliates and/or to enable Purchaser or its Affiliates to obtain its or their own substitute Permits for the Bayer

- 47 -



Business and (b) to the extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements and/or the issuing body of a Permit, allow Purchaser or its Affiliates to distribute, market, import and sell Licensed Products from and after the Closing while the applicable Permit remains held by Bayer or an Affiliate or until Purchaser or its Affiliates can obtain its or their own Permit. With respect to all Permits that relate in part to the Bayer Business and in part to businesses of Bayer and its Affiliates other than the Bayer Business (the “ Joint Permits ”), each of Purchaser and Bayer shall use commercially reasonable efforts in seeking separate Permits for each such business.
9.9.2      If a Transferred Permit is not transferred at Closing or Purchaser or its designee has not obtained a substitute Permit required to distribute, market, import and sell a Licensed Product in a country at the time of the Closing, then, in accordance with the timetable and procedure determined by the parties, at the request of Purchaser, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) enter into such contractual relationships with one another and/or, as appropriate, their respective Affiliates and (b) do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate, to enable the uninterrupted marketing, distribution, importation and sale of Licensed Products after the Closing in each country in which Licensed Products were marketed, distributed or sold prior to the Closing in a manner that allows Purchaser to record the revenue from such sale immediately after Closing, and in which Purchaser has confirmed it or its Affiliate wishes to continue to market, distribute, import and sell following the expiration of the periods referred to below. Any such contractual arrangement must be consistent with applicable Legal Requirements and the applicable Permit, and not require Bayer to establish new procedures, structures or organizations than those in effect as of Closing and provide for indemnification of Bayer and, as applicable, its Affiliates.
9.9.3      Purchaser will, or will cause its Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to apply for transfers of Permits or issuances of substitute Permits as promptly as practicable following Closing and in any event, within eighteen (18) months after the Closing.
9.10      Rebates, Chargebacks, Returns and Other Adjustments . Responsibility for returns, rebates, chargebacks, cash discounts and fees for services paid to wholesalers and distributors will be allocated between Bayer and Purchaser in accordance with this Section 9.10, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Legal Requirement. Sections 9.10.1 through 9.10.4 apply to such items generated in each country where such allocation methods may reasonably be applied. In each other country where the allocation methods cannot be reasonably applied, the parties will work in good faith to determine an alternative allocation method in accordance with the principles set forth herein.
9.10.1      Rebates . All rebates calculated against periods entirely preceding the Closing date shall be the sole responsibility of Bayer. All rebates calculated against periods including or following the Closing Date will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser, except that Bayer will make a payment to Purchaser to account for the portion of the quarter in which the Closing occurred during which Bayer owned the Business and the amount of inventory in the wholesale and distribution channels at the Closing. Calculation of this payment will be based on the application of a ratio, being the number of Business Days in the calendar quarter in which the Closing occurs prior to and including the Closing Date, plus the number of days of supply of a

- 48 -



Licensed Product held by wholesalers and distributors on the Closing Date, divided by the total number of Business Days in such calendar quarter, stated as follows:
( A+C)     =    “ Bayer Rebate Liability ” (expressed as %)
B
A
=    The number of Business Days from and including the first day of the applicable quarter to and including the Closing Date
B
=    The number of Business Days in the applicable calendar quarter
C
=    The number of Business Days of supply of a Licensed Product held by wholesalers and distributors on the Closing Date (the “ Days of Channel Inventory ”); whereby the sum of A and C shall not exceed B.
The “ Rebate True Up Payment ” will be equal to the product of (i) the Bayer Rebate Liability and (ii) the aggregate amount of rebates of a Licensed Product calculated against the quarter in which the Closing occurs. The Days of Channel Inventory on the Closing Date will be determined, to the extent practicable, on the basis of appropriate documentation and substantiation and, in circumstances where substantiation is not practicable, the reasonable, good faith estimate of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the Days of Channel Inventory after an exchange of supporting documents and a meeting of the parties the matter will be resolved in accord with Section 16.10. The Rebate True Up Payment will be due and payable in Euros on the last day of the second quarter which begins after the Closing Date (for example, for a closing that occurs in the second quarter, the Rebate True Up Payment would be the last Business Day of the fourth quarter). The parties will collaborate in good faith from and after the Execution Date to the date the Rebate True Up Payment is due to determine the Days of Channel Inventory and the amount of the Rebate True Up Payment in accordance with this Section 9.10.1. This calculation must be performed separately on a Licensed Product by Licensed Product basis. Any amounts that must be converted to Euros shall be converted using the Bayer accounting rate as of the applicable date.
9.10.2      Chargebacks . The obligations of the parties for chargebacks will be allocated based on the setting of a Chargeback Liability Shift Date with chargebacks on wholesaler invoices to their customers dated before the Chargeback Liability Shift Date being the obligation of Bayer, and chargebacks on wholesaler invoices to their customer sent on or after that date being the responsibility of Purchaser. The “ Chargeback Liability Shift Date ” shall be the number of Business Days after the Closing Date equal to the Days of Channel Inventory on the Closing Date. Whether an invoice falls before or after the Chargeback Liability Shift Date shall be determined by reference to the date on the wholesaler invoice to its customer. This analysis will be done on an invoice-by-invoice basis for each Licensed Product. Purchaser will pay all chargebacks which become due after the Closing Date (except to the extent Bayer does so on Purchaser’s behalf under the Transition Services Agreement), and will invoice Bayer monthly for the chargebacks for which Bayer is responsible.

9.10.3      Fees for Service . If a wholesaler, distributor or retailer is entitled to a fee-for-service delivered over time (e.g. inventory management services) such fee will be pro-rated between Bayer and Purchaser based on the relative portion of such period falling before or after the Closing Date.
9.10.4      Returns . Any return from a production lot of Licensed Product, one hundred percent (100%) of which was sold by Bayer, will be the sole responsibility of Bayer. Any return from a production lot of Licensed Product, one hundred percent (100%) of which was sold by Purchaser, will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. Any return from a production lot sold partially by Bayer and partially by Purchaser shall be shared by Bayer and Purchaser as described below.
(a)      The average dating of inventory of a Licensed Product manufactured in a production lot sold partially by Bayer and partially by Purchaser at the time of sale by Bayer or an Affiliate over the year preceding the Closing Date expressed in months to expiry will be determined as of the Closing Date (the “ Average Age ”) and added to the Closing Date to determine an “ Adjusted Expiration Date .” For example, if the Average Age is nine (9) months and Closing occurs on April 15, the Adjusted Expiration Date will be January 15 of the following year.
(b)      The period extending from three (3) months before the Adjusted Expiration Date to six (6) months after the Adjusted Expiration Date will be the “ Overlap Period .”
Any return of a Licensed Product prior to the Overlap Period will be the sole responsibility of Bayer. Any return of a Licensed Product after the Overlap Period will be the sole responsibility of Purchaser. Responsibility for any return of a Licensed Product during the Overlap Period will be shared equally by Bayer and Purchaser 50/50. The Average Age will be determined, to the extent practicable, on the basis of appropriate documentation and substantiation, and in circumstances where substantiation is not practicable, the reasonable, good faith estimate of the parties.
9.11      Transition Assets . To the extent Bayer or its Affiliates requires the use of any Acquired Asset to perform its obligations under any of the Ancillary Agreements (the “ Transition Assets ”), Bayer will inform Purchaser of such need and Purchaser will make such Transition Assets available to Bayer for this purpose for the period of time Bayer requires such Transition Assets to perform its obligations under any of the Ancillary Agreements.

With respect to any Contractual Obligations with third parties relating in part to the Bayer Business and in part to the businesses of Bayer and its Affiliates other than the Bayer Business, which shall be set forth on Schedule 9.12 (each, a “ Joint Contract ”), Purchaser will attempt to enter into a separate Contractual Obligation with the counterparty or counterparties to such Joint Contract with respect to the portion of such Joint Contract exclusively related to the Bayer Business on the same terms and conditions applicable to the Bayer Business. If Purchaser is unable to replace such Joint Contract with a separate Contractual Obligation the portion of a Joint Contract exclusively related to the Bayer Business, Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, if permitted by the Terms of such Joint Contract, take commercially reasonable efforts (including by seeking an amendment of

- 50 -



the Joint Contract, if necessary) to provide to Purchaser the benefits under such Joint Contract with respect to the Business, until the stated expiration of such Joint Contract, without regard to any available renewal options. In such event, the benefits and obligations under such Joint Contract exclusively related to the Business shall be for the account of Purchaser, and the remaining benefits and obligations shall be retained by Bayer and its Affiliates. Bayer and each of its Affiliates that are parties to any Joint Contract shall perform their obligations thereunder so as not to create a material default. Neither Bayer nor its Affiliates will be obligated to extend credit to Purchaser under a Joint Contract.
9.13      Books and Records . Bayer may retain copies of Books and Records that do not relate exclusively to the Acquired Assets or Assumed Liabilities or are necessary to perform its legal obligations hereunder or under the Ancillary Agreements or defend or prosecute any Claim brought by Bayer or its Affiliates against any third party or by any third party against Bayer or its Affiliates. Bayer and its Affiliates shall promptly deliver any Books and Records other than Excluded Books and Records discovered after the Closing Date.

9.14      Further Assurances . From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of either Bayer or Purchaser, each of the parties hereto will, and will cause their Affiliates to, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the Contemplated Transactions. Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with any effort by Purchaser to establish, perfect, defend, or enforce its rights in or to the Acquired Assets, including executing further consistent assignments, transfers, pledges and releases, and causing its Representatives and agents to provide good faith testimony by affidavit, declaration, deposition or other means. Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, refer all customer inquiries relating to the Bayer Business to Purchaser from and after the Closing. Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, cooperate and assist Purchaser with an orderly transition of the Bayer Business and Acquired Assets to Purchaser.

The SEC Financial Statements will be (a) prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Bayer Business, (b) prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X and GAAP, and (c) in the case of the Audited Financial Statements, accompanied by an opinion (the “ Audit Opinion ”) of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu LLP, KPMG, LLP or Ernst & Young LLP (the “ Independent Auditor ”), which opinion complies with Regulation S-X.

10.2      Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance of Licensed Patents and Licensed Trademarks .
10.2.1      Responsibility .
(a)      Business-Specific Licensed IP . From and after Closing, Purchaser, through counsel of its choosing and at its sole discretion and expense, will be responsible for and have control over filing, obtaining, prosecuting (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, re-examinations and oppositions), and maintaining throughout the Territory the Business Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks. Purchaser shall keep Bayer informed regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Business-Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks, and Bayer will cooperate with Purchaser in regard to the filing, prosecution and maintenance thereof. Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, elect not to pursue patent protection for any Business-Specific Licensed Patent or trademark registration for any Business-Specific Licensed Trademark in one or more countries in the Territory. If Purchaser intends to abandon or let go any Patent Right within the Business-Specific Licensed Patents set forth on Schedule 1C , for which Bayer would have a legal obligation under the German Law on Employee’s Inventions to provide the inventor(s) the right to pursue patent protection for such Patent Right, Purchaser shall provide Bayer written notice of such intent in sufficient time to provide the inventor(s) the opportunity to take over the prosecution and/or maintaining of such Patent Rights. If the inventor(s) take over such obligations, rights granted to Purchaser with respect to such Patent Right will revert to the inventor(s) to the extent provided under the German Law on Employee’s Inventions. Except as provided in this Section 10.2.1(a), Bayer will have no right to file, take any actions to prosecute or maintain throughout the Territory the Business-Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks.
(b)      Shared Licensed Patents and Shared Licensed Trademarks . From and after Closing, Bayer, through counsel of its choosing and at its sole discretion and expense, will be responsible for and have control over obtaining, prosecuting (including any interferences, reissue proceedings, re-examinations and oppositions) and maintaining throughout the Territory the Shared Licensed Patents and Shared Licensed Trademarks. Bayer shall keep Purchaser informed regarding the prosecution and maintenance of the Shared Licensed Patents to the extent that such actions affect Purchaser’s rights in the Shared Licensed Patents. Other than as provided, Bayer shall have no obligation to keep Purchaser informed regarding the prosecution and maintenance of such Shared Licensed Patent and may, in its sole discretion, elect not to pursue patent protection for any Shared Licensed Patent in one or more countries in the Territory. Purchaser will have no right to take any actions to prosecute or maintain throughout the Territory the Shared Licensed Patents or Shared Licensed Trademarks.
(c)      Business-Specific Licensed Know-How . Purchaser may file in the Territory patent applications on Business-Specific Licensed Know-How. If Purchaser subsequently obtains issued patents on such applications, Purchaser shall, and hereby, grants, Bayer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, sublicenseable (with the Purchaser’s prior

- 53 -



consent) right to make, have made, use, sell and commercially exploit such patents for all uses outside of Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
10.2.2      Cooperation . Bayer will: (a) make its Representatives reasonably available to Purchaser (or to Purchaser’s authorized Representatives), to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to undertake patent filings and prosecution and trademark registration of the Business-Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks; (b) at the reasonable request of Purchaser, cooperate with Purchaser in gaining patent term extensions and trademark registration renewals wherever applicable to Business-Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks that are subject to this Agreement; and (c) use its commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to minimize or avoid interference with the prosecution and maintenance of the Business-Specific Licensed Patents and Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks. Purchaser will reimburse Bayer for Bayer’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in complying with this Section 10.2.2; provided , however , that Bayer provides Purchaser with invoices or other reasonable documentation evidencing such expenses on a timely basis after the incurrence of such expense.
10.3      IP Enforcement .
10.3.1      Notification . Each party will promptly report in writing to the other party any (a) known or suspected third party infringement of any Licensed Patents, Licensed Trademarks, Shared Licensed Trade Dress or Licensed Copyrights, or (b) unauthorized use or misappropriation of any Licensed Know-How or other Confidential Information by a third party of which it becomes aware, and will provide the other party with all available evidence supporting such infringement or unauthorized use or misappropriation.
10.3.2      Right to Enforce .
(a)      Purchaser will have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to stop activities in the Territory infringing the Business-Specific Licensed Patents, Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks or Business-Specific Licensed Copyrights or the use without proper authorization of any Business-Specific Licensed Know-How, including (a) initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate Action against or (b) granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities in the Territory to any third party who at any time has infringed, or is suspected of infringing, any Business-Specific Licensed Patents, Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks or Business-Specific Licensed Copyrights or has used or is suspected of using without proper authorization the Business-Specific Licensed Know-How. Without the written consent of Purchaser, Bayer will have no right to take any reasonable measures in the Territory to stop any infringement of the Business-Specific Licensed Patents, Business-Specific Licensed Trademarks or Business-Specific Licensed Copyrights or the use without proper authorization of the Business-Specific Licensed Know-How.
(b)      Bayer will have the first right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to stop activities in the Territory infringing the Shared Licensed Patents or Shared Licensed Copyrights or the use without proper authorization of any Shared Licensed Know-How, in each case in connection with a Person’s manufacture, use, sale,

- 54 -



offering for sale, or importation of Licensed Products, including (a) initiating or prosecuting an infringement or other appropriate Action against or (b) granting adequate rights and licenses necessary for continuing such activities in the Territory to any such Person. If Bayer does not initiate any such measures within (120) days of receiving written notice from Purchaser of such activities (or within a reasonable shorter time period if a shorter period to take action is required by applicable Legal Requirements to avoid the loss of legal rights), then Purchaser will have the second right, but not the obligation, to take any reasonable measures it deems appropriate to stop such activities; provided , however , Purchaser must coordinate and consult with Bayer regarding such measures and will not take any measures, without the written permission of Bayer, which permission will not be unreasonably withheld. It shall be reasonable for Bayer to withhold such permission if Bayer reasonably believes such measures will affect the protection that any Shared Licensed IP affords Bayer; provided , however , the mere likelihood that a defendant would allege that the asserted Shared Licensed Patents or Shared Licensed Copyrights is invalid or unenforceable shall not be sufficient grounds for Bayer to withhold permission. If either party brings a suit or action under this Section 10.3.2(b), during the 120 day period, the other party will have the right, at its expense, to retain its own counsel to monitor such Action. Neither party will have the right to settle any infringement or misappropriation Action under this Section 10.3.2(b) in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other party without the express written consent of such other party; provided , however that the grant by Purchaser of a sublicense under the Shared Licensed Patents or Shared Licensed Copyrights in accordance with this Agreement will not be considered to diminish the rights of Bayer, and the grant by Bayer of a license under the Shared Licensed IP that is not in conflict with the exclusive rights granted to Purchaser in Section 2.1.1 will not be considered to diminish the rights of Purchaser. In addition, (i) Purchaser will not settle any such Action in a manner that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Shared Licensed IP without obtaining the prior written consent of Bayer and (ii) during the 120 day period, Bayer will not settle any such Action in a manner that admits the invalidity or unenforceability of any Shared Licensed Patents or Shared Licensed Copyrights without obtaining the prior written consent of Purchaser.
(c)      For clarity, all rights to enforce the Shared Licensed Trademarks or Shared Licensed Trade Dress shall be within the sole discretion of Bayer and nothing in this Section 10.3 shall be construed to grant Purchaser any rights to enforce or license any Shared Licensed Trademarks or Shared Licensed Trade Dress.
10.3.3      Procedures and Expenses . The party with the right to take action pursuant to Section 10.3.2 will have the sole right to select counsel for any Action brought by it and will pay all expenses of such Action, including attorneys’ fees and court costs. If required under applicable Legal Requirements in order for such party to initiate and/or maintain such Action, or if such party is unable to initiate or prosecute such Action solely in its own name or it is otherwise advisable to obtain an effective legal remedy, in each case, at such party’s request, the other party will join as a party to the Action and will execute and cause its Affiliates to execute all documents necessary for a party to initiate an Action to prosecute and maintain such Action. In addition, at a party’s request, the other party will provide reasonable assistance in connection with such Action and the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the party providing assistance shall be reimbursed by the party requesting such assistance.

- 55 -



10.3.4      Recoveries . If a party obtains from a third party infringer, in connection with an Action brought pursuant to Section 10.3.2, any damages, license fees, royalties or other compensation (including any amount received in settlement of such Action) with respect to Licensed Product, then any amounts recovered will first be applied to the reimbursement of each party’s reasonable costs, expenses and legal fees, including amounts one party has reimbursed to the other. The remaining balance shall be retained by Purchaser, but will be considered net sales and subject to Purchaser’s payment obligations under Section 4.3.1. The party bringing such Action pursuant to Section 10.3.2 will bear all payments awarded against or agreed to be paid by such party pursuant to such Action, including any costs or expenses incurred that exceed the amounts recovered by such party.
10.3.5      Purchaser’s rights to enforce the Biogen IP shall be as set forth for Bayer in the Biogen Agreement. For clarity and without limitation, any rights granted by Bayer in Section 10 are only granted to the extent Bayer and its Affiliates have such rights to grant.
10.4      Claimed Infringement of Third Party Rights .
10.4.1      Notice . In the event that a third party at any time provides written notice of a claim to, or brings an Action against any party, or any of such party’s respective Affiliates or sublicensees, claiming infringement of its Patent Rights or unauthorized use or misappropriation of its Know-How, based upon the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory (“ Infringement Claim ”), such party will promptly notify the other party of the Infringement Claim or the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, enclosing a copy of the Infringement Claim and all papers served. Each party agrees to make available to the other party its advice and counsel regarding the technical merits of any such claim at no cost to the other party and to offer reasonable assistance to the other party at no cost to the other party.
10.4.2      Defense of Infringement Claim; Declaratory Judgment Actions .
(a)      As between Bayer and Purchaser, Purchaser will have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any Infringement Claim brought against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees arising out of the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory. As between Bayer and Purchaser, Bayer will have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of any Infringement Claim brought against Bayer or any of its Affiliates or licensees (other than Purchaser) arising out of the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory. Neither party will settle any such Action in a manner that (i) admits that any Licensed Product infringes or misappropriates a third party’s Intellectual Property or (ii) agrees to any injunction or other equitable remedy binding the other party without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition, if applicable prior to the initiation of an Infringement Claim, either party has the right, but not the obligation, to bring a declaratory judgment action relating to any third party Patent Right that such third party has alleged is infringed by the development, manufacture or commercialization of Licensed Products in the Territory; provided , however , neither party shall bring such declaratory judgment action without first consulting with the other party.

- 56 -



(b)      The party controlling the defense of an Infringement Claim or bringing a declaratory judgment action will have the sole and exclusive right to select counsel for such Infringement Claim or such declaratory judgment action. The party controlling the defense of an Infringement Claim or bringing a declaratory judgment Action will keep the other party informed, and will from time to time consult with the other party regarding the status of any such Action and will upon request provide the other party with copies of all documents filed in, and all written communications relating to, any suit brought in connection with such Action. The other party will also have the right to participate and be represented in any such Action, at its own expense.
10.5      Other Infringement Resolutions . In the event of a dispute or potential dispute that has not ripened into a demand or Action of the types described in Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 (e.g., Actions seeking declaratory judgments and revocation proceedings), the same principles governing control of the resolution of the dispute, consent to settlements of the dispute, and implementation of the settlement of the dispute will apply. Each party will immediately notify the other party of any certification of which it becomes aware filed pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 355(b)(2)(A) or § 355(j)(2)(A)(vii) or foreign equivalent statute (or any amendment or successor statute thereto) or declaratory judgment action filed by a third party claiming that a Licensed Patent is invalid or that infringement of such Licensed Patent will not arise from the development, manufacture, use or sale of any product by a third party. The provisions of Section 10.3 will thereafter apply as if such third party were an infringer or suspected infringer.
10.6      Diligence . Purchaser shall, directly and through its Affiliates and sublicensees, use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize the Licensed Products in the Designated Countries in its approved indications. For the purposes of this Section 10.6, “commercially reasonable efforts” means, with respect to the commercialization of each Licensed Product, at any given time as the case may be, efforts reasonably used by Purchaser or its Affiliates (giving due consideration to relevant industry standards) for Purchaser’s own products (including internally developed, acquired and in-licensed products) with similar commercial potential at a similar stage in their lifecycle (assuming continuing development of such product), taking into consideration their safety, tolerability and efficacy, and the radioimmunotherapy nature of the Licensed Products, the profitability on a GAAP basis consistent with Purchaser’s publicly reported financial statements, the competitive landscape, extent of market exclusivity, patent protection, cost to develop the product, promotable claims, health economic claims, the approved indications and the regulatory and reimbursement structure involved. This Section 10.6 shall have no further force or effect with respect to the Licensed Products once Purchaser no longer has any obligation to make payments to Bayer with respect to net sales of such Licensed Product under Section 4.3.1.

14.4      Third Party Claims .
14.4.1      Notice of Claim . If any third party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “ Third Party Claim ”) that may give rise to an Indemnity Claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 14, then the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section 14, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.

The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to Indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.

- 65 -



14.4.3      Limitations on Indemnifying Party . The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (a) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant; (b) results in the full and general release of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons or Bayer Indemnified Persons, as applicable, from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim; and (c) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party.

If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (a) of Section 14.4.2 within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, the Indemnified Party may defend and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith). If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in Section 14.4.2 is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by the entry of any such judgment consented to, or any such compromise or settlement effected, without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

In each such instance, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover for some or all of such Losses under applicable insurance policies.

3.5      Payment Terms . Bayer shall submit to Spectrum an invoice setting forth the monthly fees for the Additional Services provided during the preceding calendar month, and any other amounts to which Bayer is entitled to compensation or reimbursement hereunder, together with reasonable supporting detail for any charges included in such invoice.

The foregoing shall not limit Bayer’s right to submit corrective invoices in the event there are unbilled amounts owing for Additional Services, or amounts to which Bayer is entitled to compensation or reimbursement hereunder which were not previously invoiced. Payment of all amounts owed by Spectrum shall be remitted on or before [***] days from the date the invoice therefor is received by Spectrum; provided, however, that if Spectrum in good faith disputes the validity or amount of any charge on such invoice, then Spectrum shall (A) promptly provide Bayer with written notice of such disputed item, which notice shall specifically identify the disputed item and explain the reason for such dispute, and (B) remit when due any undisputed amount. In the event of any such dispute, Bayer’s and Spectrum’s Contract Managers shall promptly discuss and attempt to resolve any differences in good faith. To the extent that agreement is reached within thirty (30) days of such dispute arising, Spectrum shall promptly pay (or Bayer shall promptly refund) such amount, if any, as shall be so agreed, together with interest accruing thereon since the date such payment was due or made, as applicable, [***], except to the extent any disputed charges are solely due to the manifest error of Bayer. To the extent no such agreement is reached within such thirty (30) day period, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.25 hereof. No such dispute shall affect the obligation of Bayer to continue to provide or cause to be provided the Additional Services in accordance with this Agreement, provided that Spectrum exercises good faith efforts to resolve such dispute on a timely basis. All invoices shall be issued and paid in U.S. dollars.
3.6      Compliance with Licenses and Permits . Bayer shall perform, and shall cause its Affiliates to perform, all Services and Additional Services in compliance with all permits and licenses of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the matter or matters in question and any applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in the License Agreement) and will, at its expense, maintain all permits and licenses it currently holds (that are not transferred to Spectrum under the License Agreement) which are necessary to perform such Services and Additional Services. If additional permits or licenses (or new permits or licenses in the case of replacing permits and licenses transferred to Spectrum under the License Agreement) become necessary for Bayer solely to provide any Services or Additional Services Bayer shall promptly inform Spectrum of the need for such permit or license and Bayer’s total cost for obtaining same. Spectrum shall promptly elect whether to bear such cost. Bayer may suspend the Service or Additional Service during the time such permit or license is not held by Bayer. If Spectrum elects not to bear such costs Bayer, in its sole discretion, may discontinue the Service or Additional Services as the case may be.

A breach of this Agreement by either Party that remains uncured for more than sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the other Party shall amount to a breach of the License Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement. If the allegedly breaching Party disputes the existence of such breach (other than a dispute regarding whether or not a service is a Service required to be made available by Bayer to Spectrum during the ninety (90) days after the Closing Date), this Agreement may not be terminated by the non-breaching Party (except with respect to the Service or Additional Service to which the dispute relates) until the existence of such breach is resolved in accordance with Sections 3.25, 3.26 and or 3.27, as applicable; provided, however, if Spectrum’s breach is the failure to pay when due any amount hereunder after a ten business day notice and cure period, Bayer may immediately stop providing the Services or Additional Services while the breach continues, and if Bayer’s breach is the failure to provide a Service or an Additional Service after a ten business day notice and cure period, Spectrum may immediately stop paying for that Service or Additional Service, as applicable, while the breach continues.

3.12      Third Party Claims .
(a)      Notice of Claim . If any third party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “ Third Party Claim ”) that may give rise to an Indemnified Claim against an Indemnifying Party under this Section 3.12, then the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under this Section 3.12, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.
(b)      Assumption of Defense, etc . The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim (including a claim for Taxes) that is the subject of a notice given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 3.12(a). In addition, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action; (v) settlement of an adverse judgment with respect to or the Indemnifying Party’s conduct

The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to Indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.
(c)      Limitations on Indemnifying Party .

If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in Section 3.12(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by the entry of any such judgment consented to, or any such compromise or settlement effected, without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (b) remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Section 3.12.

EXHIBIT B

INVENTORY AGREEMENT

This Inventory Agreement is dated as of April 1, 2012 by and between Spectrum Pharmaceuticals Cayman, L.P. (the “Purchaser”) and Bayer Pharma AG (“ Bayer ”). Terms capitalized but not defined in this Inventory Agreement are used as defined in the License and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ License Agreement ”), dated as of January 23, 2012, between the Purchaser and Bayer.
1.     Transfer and Sale of Inventory . Bayer’s and its Affiliates’ rights, title and interest (referred to as “legal title”) in all Inventory intended for sale in the Territory will [***]. In case of physical cross border transfer this is subject to Bayer’s approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
From and after the Closing, Bayer shall sell on behalf of the Purchaser as ordered or directed by the Purchaser any finished goods Inventory in existence at the Closing Date or manufactured thereafter from unfinished goods Inventory existing at the Closing Date, in each case with a minimum shelf life extending to at least [***] (the “ Qualified Inventory ”) and will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on behalf of the Purchaser finished goods Inventory that is useable and saleable in the Ordinary Course of Business. Bayer will remit to Purchaser any amounts actually collected by Bayer and its Affiliates (a) from customers (excluding VAT) of the Business with respect to net sales made by Bayer and its Affiliates after the Closing or (b) from Purchaser or its Affiliates at the Turnover Date (defined below). Such remittance shall be made monthly by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser. Bayer may deduct from such payments (with such deductions being taken in the month of the sale, not the month of the collection) the following amounts:
a)
with respect to any Inventory that is so sold, [***];
b)
all Direct Costs (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) incurred in making the sale of such Inventory (plus [***]) that would otherwise be due and payable to Bayer by Purchaser under the Transition Services Agreement;
c)
any applicable withholding taxes (Section 4.3.5 of the License Agreement applies mutatis mutandis ); and
Any costs deducted by Bayer under this paragraph shall not be included in costs Bayer seeks to recover under the Transition Services Agreement.
2.     Supplied Inventory . Prior to the Turnover Date, Purchaser will, from time to time, supply additional Inventory to Bayer after the Closing (such Inventory, whether or not labeled or packaged, the “Supplied Inventory”), at no charge such that Bayer or Bayer Affiliate may satisfy its obligations under the Transition Services Agreement and hereunder. In the case of Supplied Inventory supplied by Purchaser prior to the Turnover Date for a country, legal title
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.





to Supplied Inventory that would otherwise be obtained by Purchaser and which is designated by Purchaser as being intended for sale in the Territory will [***]. However, Purchaser shall pay actual direct costs of transportation of the product to the designated country. Thereafter, Bayer will remit to Purchaser any cash payments received from any customer when received from such customer for the sale of such product after deducting any amounts provided in b), c) and d) above. For the avoidance of doubt, Bayer shall not be required to sell Supplied Inventory before usable and saleable Qualified Inventory. On the Closing Date and prior to the applicable Turnover Date, Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, keep Purchaser reasonably informed in accordance with the reporting requirements under the Transition Services Agreement of the amount of Inventory they hold that is intended for sale, no less frequently than monthly, and within ten business days after receipt of a written request from Purchaser.
3.     Turnover Date . Within [***] of the date Purchaser has obtained any authorizations from Governmental Authorities reasonably necessary to sell Licensed Product in a given country but no later than [***] after the Closing Date (the “ Turnover Date ”) Bayer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, sell to Purchaser or its designated Affiliate (a) all Qualified Inventory, (b) all finished Supplied Inventory (c) Inventory not constituting finished goods in existence at the Closing Date with a minimum shelf life of [***] after the Turnover Date , (the “ Other Inventory ”) and (d) all Inventory that Purchaser otherwise agrees to purchase, in each case, then held by Bayer or an Affiliate in any such country free and clear of any Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and Purchaser shall purchase such Inventory at the amounts provided in Exhibit B subject to (c) above. Bayer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, promptly to destroy all Inventory not transferred to Purchaser, unless otherwise agreed in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, all unfinished Supplied Inventory shall be returned to Purchaser at Purchaser’s expense.
4.     License Agreement . To ensure that the intent of the parties as set forth in the License Agreement is properly implemented:
Paragraphs (e) and (f) in the definition of “Excluded Purchaser Liabilities” will include all Liabilities that are attributable to sales of all Licensed Products and Inventory, including those sales made by Bayer or an Affiliate of Bayer after the Closing for the benefit of Purchaser pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement, the License Agreement, or this Agreement excluding Liabilities Bayer must indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Person for under the License Agreement or this Agreement;
In the event that Bayer is determined by a taxing authority to be liable for income tax, or tax in lieu of income tax such as gross receipts tax, and Bayer and/or its Affiliates did not actually receive the income or gross receipts on which such tax was based, and such tax would not have arisen but for the this Inventory Agreement, then Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Bayer for such tax. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not reimburse Bayer in connection for any transfer pricing adjustments imposed by taxing authorities that arise from Bayer’s internal transfer pricing.
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.





All sales of Inventory and Supplied Inventory billed by either Purchaser or Bayer or any of their Affiliates shall be counted for purposes of calculating Net Sales (adjusted as set forth in the definition of “Net Sales”) in the License Agreement.
Any Licensed Product sold by Bayer or its Affiliates on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be deemed sold by Purchaser. Any returns of such Licensed Product shall be handled in accordance with Section 9.10.4 of the License Agreement.
Bayer will maintain adequate insurance coverage of the Inventory in Bayer’s possession for any casualty losses until the Turnover Date. In the case of any casualty or other insured loss of Inventory for which Purchaser has paid Bayer, Bayer will remit to Purchaser any insurance proceeds it receives in respect thereof.
5.     Compliance . Bayer and Purchaser acknowledge that, any sales activities conducted after the Closing must comply with Legal Requirements applicable to Purchaser and Bayer.
6.     Allocation of Risks Regarding Inventory Sales . This Inventory Agreement is being executed by Bayer as an accommodation for Purchaser and its Affiliates. As a result Purchaser has agreed that, except as set forth below, [***] under the License Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or otherwise, associated with or arising from Bayer’s and Purchaser’s or their Affiliates’ conduct hereunder with respect to Inventory sales as if Purchaser or its Affiliates had taken legal and physical possession of all Inventory on the Closing Date (or Supplied Inventory prior to the Turnover Date upon delivery of such Inventory to the specified location) and had thereafter sold or otherwise transferred that Licensed Product in its own name excluding Liabilities Bayer must indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Person for under the License Agreement or this Agreement. The risks and liabilities assumed by Purchaser under this Agreement include but are not limited to risks of [***]. For avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth below, the Parties agree that any Liabilities or Loss arising from sales of Licensed Product to third parties by Bayer or any Affiliate of Bayer under the terms of this Inventory Agreement shall be treated as sales by Purchaser for purposes of the License Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements Liabilities Bayer must indemnify a Purchaser Indemnified Person for under the License Agreement or this Agreement. Except as set forth below, Purchaser shall fully indemnify and hold harmless each Bayer Indemnified Person from Bayer’s performance of the activities specified in this Inventory Agreement with respect to Inventory sales. Nothing set forth herein will be deemed to waive Purchaser’s rights to indemnification from Bayer under the License Agreement or an Ancillary Agreement; provided, however, that any Purchaser claim for indemnification from Bayer shall not arise merely because Bayer now acts in the capacity of seller of Licensed Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Further, nothing set forth herein shall require Purchaser to indemnify Bayer for its or its Affiliate’s breach of this Agreement for Bayer’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal act in performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
[***]: CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION.





7.     Regulatory Matters . Nothing in this Inventory Agreement shall be deemed to restrict or prevent Bayer from taking any action it regards as reasonably necessary to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, provided that Bayer promptly notifies Purchaser in writing, of such actions. Bayer will not be required to make any filing, present any request, nor to undertake any action or to omit to take any action under this Inventory Agreement with respect to any Governmental Authority in any country, that in Bayer’s judgment, exercised in good faith, would likely have the effect of damaging Bayer’s or Bayer’s Affiliates’ existing or future business reputation or commercial interests in any country.
8.     Services to be Provided . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement, Bayer shall provide to Purchaser the labeling, packaging and shipping services (the “ Services ”) described in the Transition Services Agreement.
9.     Packaging and Labeling .
(a)    The Licensed Products shall incorporate the same form and content of all packaging and labeling materials, including all consumer warnings and instructions necessary for each of the Licensed Products in each of the relevant countries, as Bayer was using for each of the Licensed Products prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    Purchaser shall bear full legal responsibility for ensuring that the form and content of the specifications for packaging, labeling, consumer warnings and instructions comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and for ensuring the adequacy, appropriateness and safety of the content of the packaging and labeling materials, packaging design, and packaging construction for the users intended, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in the License Agreement or Ancillary Agreements.
10.     Shipments .
(a)    All shipments of unpackaged Supplied Inventory to Bayer shall contain the applicable certificates for the necessary batch release by Bayer, issued by the manufacturer.
(b)    All packaged Licensed Products shall be delivered to Purchaser FCA (Incoterms) Bayer’s packaging and labeling facility in Velten, Germany at the time that such Licensed Products leave Bayer’s packaging and labeling facility in the hands of the carrier. Notwithstanding such delivery, Bayer will, as a service to Purchaser (to be charged in accordance with this Agreement), arrange for shipment of the Licensed Products at the time and destination specified.
11.     Specifications . Purchaser represents and warrants to Bayer that the unpackaged Supplied Inventory delivered to Bayer shall have been manufactured, processed, stored, tested, processed, and otherwise handled at all times in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (“ cGMPs ”) and other applicable regulations, the Supplied Inventory specifications and the Supplied Inventory standard operating procedures. Purchaser shall maintain, until the later of that period of time required under Legal Requirements or three years all records as are necessary and appropriate to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing sentence. Bayer shall store, package, and otherwise handle the Supplied Inventory at all times in compliance with current





cGMPs and other applicable regulations, and the applicable Supplied Inventory specifications and the applicable Supplied Inventory standard operating procedures. Bayer shall maintain, until the later of that period of time required under Legal Requirements or three years all records as necessary and appropriate to demonstrate compliance with the foregoing sentence.
12.     Risk of Loss . Risk of loss for unpackaged Supplied Inventory in transit to Bayer shall lie with the Purchaser. Risk of loss for the Supplied Inventory due to casualty, spoilage, loss, theft, fire, damage or destruction after shipment is delivered to Bayer at the Bayer packaging and labeling facility in Velten, Germany shall be borne by Bayer. For clarity, Bayer shall be responsible for the replacement cost of any such lost Supplied Inventory for which Bayer bears the risk of loss less up to five percent of replacement costs attributable to product losses arising in the ordinary course of labeling and packaging activities. Risk of loss for the packaged Supplied Inventory shall lie with Purchaser after the Supplied Inventory leaves Bayer’s packaging and labeling facilities. In accordance with current practice, Bayer will acquire title to the quantity of unpackaged Supplied Inventory as necessary to perform the Services hereunder, and title shall pass back to Purchaser on delivery of the packaged Supplied Inventory as described above.
13.     Compliance with Regulations . Bayer shall perform, and shall cause its Affiliates to perform all Services in compliance with all permits and licenses of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the matter or matters in question and any applicable Legal Requirements and will, at its expense, maintain all permits and licenses it currently holds (that are not transferred to Purchaser under the License Agreement) which are necessary to perform such Services. If additional permits or licenses (or new permits or licenses in the case of replacing permits and licenses transferred to Purchaser under the License Agreement) become necessary for Bayer solely to provide any Services, Bayer shall promptly inform Purchaser of the need for such permit or license and Bayer’s total cost for obtaining same. Purchaser shall promptly elect whether to bear such cost. Bayer may suspend the Service during the time such permit or license is not held by Bayer. If Purchaser elects not to bear such costs Bayer, in its sole discretion, may discontinue the Services. Purchaser shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and Regulatory Approvals. Subject to the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, Purchaser is solely responsible for obtaining all necessary Regulatory Approvals with respect to the packaged Licensed Products. Bayer is assuming no additional responsibility or obligation relating to compliance with regulatory requirements as a consequence of performing the Services under this Agreement. “ Regulatory Approvals ” shall mean all licenses, approvals, permissions, or consents of any Governmental Authority required for the manufacture, processing, inspection, testing, packaging, storage, transport, distribution or sale of the Licensed Products.
14.     Termination . If either Party commits a material breach or violation of any material provision of this Agreement, and such breach or violation is not cured within sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the other Party, the non-breaching Party may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the breaching Party. If the allegedly breaching Party disputes the existence of such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated by the non-breaching Party (except with respect to the Service to which the dispute relates) until the existence of such breach is resolved in accordance with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement; provided, however, if Purchaser’s breach is the failure to pay when due any amount





hereunder after a ten business day notice and cure period, Bayer may immediately stop providing the Services while the breach continues, and if Bayer’s breach is the failure to provide the Services after a ten (10) business day notice and cure period, Purchaser may immediately stop paying for that Service while the breach continues.
15.     Indemnification with Respect to Services . Purchaser hereby agrees to save, defend and hold each Bayer Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or relating to (a) any material breach by Purchaser of its obligations with respect to Services under this Agreement, (b) any claim, suit or action asserted by any person or entity unaffiliated with Bayer or its Affiliates (i) in connection with the Services provided hereunder unless and then only to the extent that the claim, suit or action is related to a material breach of this Agreement by Bayer, or any Affiliate of Bayer or third party providing Services hereunder or (ii) related to the use, sale or delivery of any Product to any third party except to the extent Purchaser is entitled to indemnification therefor or Liability is otherwise expressly allocated under this Agreement, the License Agreement or another Ancillary Agreement.
Bayer hereby agrees to save, defend and hold each Purchaser Indemnified Person harmless from and against any and all Losses arising from or relating to (a) any material breach by Bayer of its obligations with respect to Services under this Agreement or (b) any claim, suit or action asserted by any person or entity unaffiliated with the Purchaser to the extent based upon the gross negligence, willful misconduct, intentional tort or criminal act by Bayer or any Affiliate in connection with the Services provided hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Party must indemnify the other Party for any Losses to the extent such Losses arises out of the other Party’s breach, gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Any Losses hereunder shall be counted toward the amounts set forth in Sections 14.1.2 and 14.2.2 of the License Agreement.
16.     Third Party Claims .
(a)     Notice of Claim . If any third party notifies an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a “ Third Party Claim ”) that may give rise to an Indemnified Claim against an Indemnifying Party under Section 15, then the Indemnified Party will promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Party; provided , however , that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation under Section 15, except to the extent such delay actually and materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.
(b)     Assumption of Defense, etc . The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim (including a claim for Taxes) that is the subject of a notice given by the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 16(a). In addition, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any and all Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and





does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim; (iv) the Third Party Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action; (v) settlement of an adverse judgment with respect to or the Indemnifying Party’s conduct of the defense of the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, reasonably likely to be materially adverse to the Indemnified Party’s reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business); and (vi) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will pay the fees and expenses of separate co-counsel retained by the Indemnified Party that are incurred prior to Indemnifying Party’s assumption of control of the defense of the Third Party Claim.
(c)     Limitations on Indemnifying Party . The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such judgment, compromise or settlement (i) provides for the payment by the Indemnifying Party of money as sole relief for the claimant; (ii) results in the full and general release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim; and (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Section 16(a) and 16(b), Bayer shall have the full and unrestricted right to defend, with counsel of its own choosing, any Action and negotiate and settle any Action initiated against it by any Governmental Authority which may in Bayer’s judgment, exercised in good faith, materially affect operations and activities of Bayer beyond the Business, even though such defense or settlement may or will also affect the Business, provided , however , that, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Bayer notifies Spectrum of any such Action, keeps Spectrum apprised of material developments with respect to such Action and consults with Spectrum regarding such Action from time to time and nothing in this sentence excuses Bayer from performing its obligations under this Agreement, the License Agreement or the other the Ancillary Agreements.
(d)     Indemnified Party’s Control . If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver the notice contemplated by clause (i) of Section 16(b) within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim, or otherwise at any time fails to conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently, the Indemnified Party may defend and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith). If such notice is given on a timely basis and the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently but any of the other conditions in Section 16(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend, and may consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with





respect to, the Third Party Claim; provided , however , that the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by the entry of any such judgment consented to, or any such compromise or settlement effected, without its prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In the event that the Indemnified Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 16(d), the Indemnifying Party will (a) advance the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and (b) remain responsible for any and all other Losses that the Indemnified Party may incur or suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided hereunder.
(e)     Consent to Jurisdiction Regarding Third Party Claim .

17.     Exclusive Remedies . FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING, AND EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 16.13 OF THE LICENSE AGREEMENT, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES FOR RESOLUTION OF THE MATTERS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 15, EXCEPT FOR INDEMNIFICATION RELATED TO A PARTY’S (A) FRAUD OR (B) CRIMINAL ACTS.
18.     Limitation of Liability . NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CLAIMS FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ARISING UNDER STATUTE, IN TORT OR CONTRACT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION WILL NOT APPLY TO LIMIT EITHER PARTY’S LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO (A) A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, (B) FRAUD OR (C) GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR CRIMINAL ACTS. NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR LOST PROFITS EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED UNDER THE LICENSE AGREEMENT.
19.     Disclaimer . EACH PARTY MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OTHER THAN THOSE EXPRESSLY MADE IN THIS AGREEMENT. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
20.     Time for Claims . Claims for indemnification shall be governed by the applicable statute of limitations. No claim for Loss by Purchaser shall be deemed to have survived, and shall be deemed waived, if written notice has not been provided to Bayer within six (6) months of actual knowledge of such Loss by the Purchaser individuals set forth on Schedule 20A . No claim for Loss by Bayer shall be deemed to have survived, and shall be deemed waived, if written notice has not been provided to Purchaser within six (6) months of actual knowledge of such Loss by the Bayer individuals set forth on Schedule 20B . For avoidance of doubt, claims





will be deemed to have been made within the survival period if a reasonably complete description of the claim based upon the facts available at the time is presented by the party seeking indemnification to the Indemnifying Party within the specified time period herein.
21.     Term . The obligations of Bayer and its Affiliates to sell Licensed Products as described above shall terminate as of the Turnover Date.

A breach of this Inventory Agreement that remains uncured for more than sixty (60) days after receiving written notice thereof from the other Party shall be treated as a breach of the License Agreement.
This Inventory Agreement will automatically terminate upon termination of the License Agreement or the Transition Services Agreement.
In the event of the expiration or termination of this Agreement, this Agreement will have no further force and effect and all other rights and Liabilities of the parties hereunder will terminate without any Liability of any party to any other party, except for Liabilities arising in respect of breaches under this Agreement by any party arising on or prior to the termination date.
