Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities arising out of actions, suits and proceedings to which they are made or threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that they have served or are currently serving as a director or officer to a corporation. The indemnity may cover expenses (including attorneys’ fees) judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer in connection with any such action, suit or proceeding. Section 145 permits corporations to pay expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by directors and officers in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding. In addition, Section 145 provides that a corporation has the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of its directors and officers against any liability asserted against them and incurred by them in their capacity as a director or officer, or arising out of their status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the director or officer against such liability under Section 145.

We have adopted provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be in effect at the completion of this offering that limit or eliminate the personal liability of our directors to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may in the future be amended. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

  Ÿ  

any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

  Ÿ  

any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

  Ÿ  

any unlawful payments related to dividends or unlawful stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions; or

 

  Ÿ  

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

These limitations of liability do not alter director liability under the federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission.

 

II-1


In addition, our bylaws provide that:

 

  Ÿ  

we will indemnify our directors, officers and, in the discretion of our board of directors, certain employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as it now exists or may in the future be amended; and

 

  Ÿ  

we will advance reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, to our directors and, in the discretion of our board of directors, to our officers and certain employees, in connection with legal proceedings relating to their service for or on behalf of us, subject to limited exceptions.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and intend to enter into such agreements with certain of our executive officers. These agreements provide that we will indemnify each of our directors, certain of our executive officers and, at times, their affiliates to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We will advance expenses, including attorneys’ fees (but excluding judgments, fines and settlement amounts), to each indemnified director, executive officer or affiliate in connection with any proceeding in which indemnification is available and we will indemnify our directors and officers for any action or proceeding arising out of that person’s services as a director or officer brought on behalf of us and/or in furtherance of our rights. Additionally, each of our directors may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by their affiliates, which indemnification relates to and might apply to the same proceedings arising out of such director’s services as a director referenced herein. Nonetheless, we have agreed in the indemnification agreements that our obligations to those same directors are primary and any obligation of the affiliates of those directors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the expenses or liabilities incurred by those directors are secondary.

We also maintain general liability insurance which covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The underwriting agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for indemnification of us and our directors and officers by the underwriters against certain liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Of these, options covering an aggregate of 350,656 shares were cancelled without being exercised.

 

  5. We sold an aggregate of 5,764,657 shares of common stock to employees, directors and consultants for cash consideration in the aggregate amount of $187,018.14 upon the exercise of stock options.

We deemed the offers, sales and issuances of the securities described in paragraphs (1) through (3) above to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, including Regulation D and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, regarding transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering. All purchasers of securities in transactions exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation D represented to us that they were accredited investors and were acquiring the shares for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any distribution thereof and that they could bear the risks of the investment and could hold the securities for an indefinite period of time. The purchasers received written disclosures that the securities had not been registered under the Securities Act and that any resale must be made pursuant to a registration statement or an available exemption from such registration.

We deemed the grants of stock options described in paragraph (4) and the issuances of shares of common stock upon the exercise of stock options described in paragraph (5) as exempt pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance on Rule 701 of the Securities Act as offers and sales of securities under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation in compliance with Rule 701. Each of the recipients of securities in any transaction exempt from registration either received or had adequate access, through employment, business or other relationships, to information about us.

All certificates representing the securities issued in the transactions described in this Item 15 included appropriate legends setting forth that the securities had not been offered or sold pursuant to a registration statement and describing the applicable restrictions on transfer of the securities. There were no underwriters employed in connection with any of the transactions set forth in this Item 15.

Item 16. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.

(a) Exhibits:

The exhibits to the registration statement are listed in the Exhibit Index to this registration statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Financial Statements Schedules:

Schedules have been omitted because the information required to be set forth therein is not applicable or is shown in the financial statements or notes thereto.

Item 17. Undertakings.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Act, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The Registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

  (a) The Registrant will provide to the underwriter at the closing as specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

  (b) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the information omitted from a form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in the form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

  (c) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Affiliate Application Specific IP ” means the Intellectual Property Rights of an Affiliate of Illumina that pertain to the Product (and use thereof) only with regard to specific field(s) or specific application(s).

2. Applicability of Terms and Conditions.

 

  a. Exclusive Terms . This Agreement exclusively governs the ordering, purchase, supply, and use of Product, and its terms shall override any conflicting, amending and/or additional terms contained in any purchase orders, invoices or similar documents, which are hereby rejected and shall be null and void. Failure of Illumina or Customer to object to any such conflicting, amending and/or additional terms shall not constitute a waiver by Illumina or Customer, nor constitute acceptance by Illumina or Customer of such terms. The conditions and restrictions on use and other activities set forth in this Agreement are bargained for conditions of sale and, therefore, control the sale of such Product and the rights in and to Products provided to Customer at purchase. This Agreement may be amended in writing only. For clarity, written amendments to this Agreement must be executed by officers of the Parties.

 

  b. Consumables .

6. Forecasts for TG Consumables; Initial Shipment Date . Please refer to the example in Exhibit B when reading this Section.

 

  a. Forecast . Customer shall, […***…] being a “ Forecast Due Date ”), provide a written forecast detailing the quantity of TG Consumables, on a TG Consumable-by-TG Consumable basis, that Customer requires during […***…] following that Forecast Due Date (each a “ Forecast ”). For clarity, each Forecast starts with the […***…] Forecast Due Date. The general form of the Forecast along with an example of how forecasting works and when Purchase Orders (defined below) are to be provided is found in Exhibit B . The first Forecast is attached to this Agreement as Attachment I . For the avoidance of doubt, Illumina has no obligation to provide TG Consumables during any Forecast period ([…***…]) if Customer has not provided a Forecast for that period as required by the terms of this Agreement, including by Forecast Due Date.

 

  i. One Forecast per Calendar Month Only . Customer may only provide one Forecast per […***…]. If Customer provides more than one Forecast in any […***…] Illumina may elect to use any of the Forecasts provided in that […***…] and the one used by Illumina shall be binding on the Customer. Customer must provide a […***…] Forecast. If Customer does not provide a Forecast by the Forecast Due Date then Illumina, in its sole discretion, may consider the previously provided Forecast as the Forecast that is then due.

 

  ii. Initial Shipment Date . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Illumina makes no guarantee that it can ship TG Consumables earlier than […***…] from the Effective Date. For clarity, each Product has a unique catalog number (e.g., TG Consumables have a different catalog number than its corresponding Non-TG Consumable) and therefore Customer will only be required to pay the price associated with the TG Consumable when Customer is purchasing a TG Consumable.

  b. Binding Commitments; Flexibility. The […***…] provided under this Agreement is a binding commitment by Customer to take receipt of and pay for that quantity and type of TG Consumables found in such […***…] (the “ Binding Consumable […***…]”); provided that, the quantity of each TG Consumable (on a TG Consumable-by-TG Consumable basis) to be delivered in such […***…] may vary from the quantity of each TG Consumable (on a TG Consumable-by-TG Consumable basis) that were forecasted to be required in the same […***…] as found in prior Forecast ([…***…] of that prior Forecast) only by up to […***…]%.

 

  c. New TG Consumables . Any TG Consumables that are newly added to this Agreement shall initially be forecasted so that the quantities for purchase and delivery in the first […***…] are […***…].

Subsequent Purchase Orders for TG Consumables must be provided on the Forecast Due Date and must be for a quantity of and type of TG-Consumables as found in the Binding Consumable […***…]. For the avoidance of doubt, Illumina has no obligation to provide TG Consumables found in the Binding Consumable […***…] if Customer has not provided a Purchase Order by the Forecast Due Date and the failure to provide a Purchase Order will not relieve Customer of any of its obligations arising from Forecasts and such failure may, among other things, result in a delay in delivery of Products to Customer. Each Purchase Order for TG Consumables must include a ship schedule, to be agreed to between Illumina and Customer, that details the quantity of and type of TG Consumables (on a TG Consumable-by-TG Consumable basis) that Customer requires in each calendar month that is covered by the Purchase Order (“ Ship Schedule ”). Illumina has no obligation to accept Purchase Orders that contain TG Consumables or quantities of TG Consumables that exceed what was forecasted by Customer (“ Excess Orders ”); provided that, Illumina […***…] reject such Excess Orders that do not […***…]% of the quantity forecasted unless Illumina agreeing to supply such excess quantity of TG Consumables (i) requires Illumina exercising anything […***…], or (ii) would impair Illumina’s ability to honor supply commitments to other customers. Such additional quantities of TG Consumables must be ordered by using Additional Purchase Orders (set forth below).

If there is no applicable Purchase Order, the purchase price shall be the purchase price that would have applied under this Agreement had Customer placed a Purchase Order for such Consumables.

Institution shall provide all personnel and equipment necessary to perform the Services. Institution shall not perform any Services hereunder beyond the scope of the Task Order without the prior written approval of Novartis.

B. This Agreement shall apply to any Task Order and to any Services performed pursuant thereto. Each such Task Order issued by Novartis and accepted by Institution shall constitute a separate and distinct contract between the parties, it being understood and agreed, however, that the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated in each such Task Order and shall take precedence over any contrary or inconsistent terms and conditions appearing or referred to in any such Task Order, unless the Task Order explicitly states otherwise. No such contrary or inconsistent terms and conditions, nor any contrary, inconsistent or additional terms in any document issued by Institution shall become part of any such contract unless accepted in writing by both parties.

Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed effective from November 21, 2011 to November 30, 2014.

3. P AYMENT T ERMS

A. In consideration of the satisfactory performance of the Services, Novartis will pay Institution in accordance with each Task Order.

All invoices shall clearly state the following: invoice number, purchase order number, purchase order line number, amount due, progress payment number and “Final Bill” (on the last invoice). At no time shall Institution pre-bill or bill-to-estimate.

C. All costs and rates set forth in each Task Order shall remain firm for the duration of the Services to be performed thereunder, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Institution and Novartis.

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

LABORATORY MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT

This First Amendment to Laboratory Master Services Agreement (this “Amendment”), dated as of the 29 th of May, 2012 (the “Amendment Effective Date”), is entered into by and between Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (“Novartis”) with an office at 59 Route 10, East Hanover, NJ 07936, and Foundation Medicine, Inc. (“Institution”), with an office at One Kendall Square, Suite B6S01, Cambridge, MA 02139, and amends the Laboratory Master Services Agreement dated as of November 21, 2011 (the “Master Agreement”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined herein are used with the meanings ascribed to them in the Master Agreement.

 

1. New Sections 1.C, 1.D and 1.E. Section 1 of the Master Agreement is hereby amended by adding Sections 1.C, 1.D and 1.E as follows:

“C. Within ninety (90) days of the Amendment Effective Date, the parties shall collaborate in good faith to discuss […***…].

D. Novartis acknowledges that Institution is currently working on a clinical trial with US Oncology relating to the use of the Institution’s current Commercial Panel Product in the community oncology setting To the extent that (a) the performance of the Services provides either (i) information about a Novartis product that is either current in clinical trials or (ii) information about a potential off-label use of a Novartis product; and (b) an oncologist at US Oncology is interested in prescribing such Novartis product, then Institution and Novartis shall collaborate in good faith to determine an appropriate course of action.

E. For each new protocol identified in any Task Order, the parties shall discuss and agree on a reasonable and appropriate turn-around time goal for provision of the Services on Samples once received by the Institution.”

 

  2. New Section 1.1. A new Section 1.1 is hereby added to the Master Agreement as follows:

“Section 1.1. Steering Committee

A. The parties shall establish a joint steering committee (the “JSC”), and shall consist of four (4) members, two (2) of whom shall be designated by Novartis, and two (2) of whom shall be designated by Institution. The initial members of the JSC shall be agreed to by the parties. Novartis and Institution may replace any or all of its representatives on the JSC at any time upon written notice to the other party. A party may designate a substitute to temporarily attend and perform the functions of such party’s designee at any meeting of the JSC; provided, however, that such designee shall have appropriate expertise. The Chairman of the JSC shall be a representative of Novartis.

***Confidential Treatment Requested


F IRST A MENDMENT

 

B. The JSC shall meet quarterly, or with such other frequency, and at such time arid location, as may be established by the JSC, for the following purposes: (1) to facilitate communication between the parties with regard to the Services so that each party is kept reasonably informed of the status of the Services; (2) general oversight of the entire collaboration between the parties; and (3) periodically review and set the overall goals and strategy of the Services.

C. The JSC may make decisions with respect to any subject matter that is subject to the JSC’s decision-making authority and responsibilities as set forth in Section 1.1.B. Regardless of the number of individuals attending any JSC meeting, Novartis and Institution shall have a single vote each. The JSC shall attempt in good faith to reach unanimity with respect to matters that come before it for decision and shall give consideration to the views, positions and recommendations of each party on such matters. If the JSC is unable to reach unanimity upon any issue or matter that is brought before it for decision within thirty (30) days after consideration by the JSC then, and in each such event, the JSC shall refer such issue or matter to the parties for resolution.”

 

  3. Section 2. Section 2 of the Master Agreement is hereby replaced with the following:

“Section 2. Term of Agreement.

Unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed effective from as of the Amendment Effective Date and shall continue in force until May 1, 2015. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any Task Orders issued by Novartis to Institution prior to the Amendment Effective Date shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, as amended herein; and (b) should any Task Orders entered into during the term of this Agreement require Services to be performed beyond the termination date of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to such Task Orders until the termination of the Task Orders.”

 

  4. Section 3.A. Section 3.A of the Master Agreement is hereby replaced with the following:

“A. In consideration of the satisfactory performance of the Services, Novartis shall pay Institution in accordance with each Task Order and the pricing set forth on Schedule 1, as further described below. Unless Novartis reasonably objects to all or a portion of any invoice submitted to it by Institution, Novartis shall make payments against each invoice within sixty (60) days of its receipt.

a) During the period from […***…] until […***…], Novartis shall pay Institution for a minimum of […***…] Samples (the “First and Second Year Minimum”). During the period from […***…] until […***…], Novartis shall pay Institution for a minimum of […***…] Samples (the “Third Year Minimum” and together with the First and Second Year Minimum, each a “Contract Year Minimum”), […***…]. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Contract Year” shall mean the period of time from May 1 st of one year to April 30 th of the next succeeding year, and a “Contract Quarter” means each three (3) month period starting on May 1 st , August 1 st , November 1 st and February 1 st .

F IRST A MENDMENT

 

b) Without limiting the foregoing paragraph, to ensure the provision of timely Services from Institution, within thirty (30) days after the Amendment Effective Date and thirty (30) days prior to start of each Contract Quarter, Novartis shall provide Institution with a good faith estimate of Novartis’ estimated Sample volumes for the following four (4) Contract Quarters.

c) During each Contract Year, Novartis shall pay Institution to support […***…] FTE to serve as the Novartis project manager at Institution in support of the Services under this Agreement. The FTE rate shall be equal to […***…] (the “FTE Rate”), which FTE Rate shall be payable as part of a Quarterly Payment as set forth in Section 3.A(d). Except as set forth in this Section 3.A(c), Institution bears the sole responsibility for compensation (including overtime to hourly employees, if applicable) of Institution’s employees.

d) Novartis shall pay to Institution Contract Quarter payments for each Contract Year as set forth in the table below, to account for the Contract Year Minimums and the FTE support as provided for above (the “Quarterly Payments”). The Quarterly Payments shall be invoiced by Institution to Novartis in the following amounts, and are non-refundable, non-creditable and not subject to set-off:

 

Contract Year    Payments     Quarterly
Payment

[…***…]

     […***…]      […***…]

[…***…]

     […***…]      […***…]

[…***…]

     […***…]      […***…]

 

* For clarity, Novartis is obligated to make the Quarterly Payments specified above for the First Contract Year and Second Contract Year in all events, no matter the number of Samples sent to Institution, and notwithstanding the true-up calculation on Section 3.A(f) below.
** For further clarity, the Third Contract Year specified above is an example and shall be adjusted to reflect Third Year Minimum provided by Novartis above (this example assumes […***…] Samples for the Third Year Minimum).

Institution shall invoice Novartis for the first Quarterly Payment for the First Year on May 1, 2012. Thereafter, Institution shall invoice Novartis for the Quarterly Payments on the first day of each Contract Quarter thereafter during the term of this Agreement.

e) During each Contract Year, Novartis shall endeavor to provide Samples to Institution on a regular basis to ensure the best turnaround times for the Services performed by Institution. If during any Contract Year the value of the Services performed to date materially exceeds the Quarterly Payments already made by Novartis, the parties agree to discuss accelerating payments by Novartis for that Contract Year. Further, if during the First and Second Contract Year together or the Third Contract Year the number of Samples provided by Novartis exceed the applicable Contract Year Minimum, then Institution shall bill Novartis for

any excess Samples when the Services are performed on such Sample. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Novartis will not provide more than […***…] samples to Institution during any Contract Quarter during the term of this Agreement, without Institution’s prior approval.

f) At the end of each Contract Year, there shall be a “true-up” performed as follows to take account of any price adjustment based on the number of Samples for that Contract Year based on Schedule 1: Institution shall recalculate the total cost to Novartis based on the number of Samples shipped by Novartis to Institution in that Contract Year and Schedule 1 (including the FTE support specified in Section 3.A(c)), and if the amounts paid by Novartis for that Contract Year exceed the amounts owed based on that recalculation, then Institution shall provide a credit on any remaining invoices applicable to that Contract Year, and if such credit on such invoices does not account for the full credit, Institution shall provide a credit (but not a refund) for the next Contract Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the annual total of the Quarterly Payments for any Contract Year give rise to any credit for any future Contract Year or any refund or right or set-off, so that only if Novartis sends more Samples in the First and Second Contract Year together or the Third Contract Year than the applicable Contract Year Minimum could there be the possibility of any credit based on this Section 3.A(f).

g) The parties acknowledge and agree that Samples provided by Novartis to Institution under Task Order #1 […***…] and Task Order #2 […***…] shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, as amended. Thus, although some of those Samples under those Task Orders have already been run, all of those Samples shall be included in the First Year.”

 

  5. Section 4.D. Section 4.D of the Master Agreement is hereby amended as follows: the phrase “or on behalf of Institution or by” is hereby added after the clause “based on any discovery made by”.

 

  6. Section 4.D. Section 4.D of the Master Agreement is hereby amended as follows: the word “Results” is hereby replaced by “Works or Component Improvements”.

 

  7. Section 4.H. Section 4.H of the Master Agreement is hereby amended as follows: the phrase “licenses, rights and” is hereby added before the word “obligations”.

 

  8. New Section 4.I. Section 4 of the Master Agreement is hereby amended by adding Sections 4.I and as follows:

“A. This Agreement and any Task Orders issued hereunder may be terminated by Novartis for any reason or for no reason at all after […***…] upon one hundred twenty (120) days written notice to Institution.”

 

  10. Press Release. Upon execution of this Amendment, Institution shall issue a press release in a form mutually agreed to by the parties announcing the full partnership established by the Master Agreement (including the three-year term), as amended by this Amendment.

 

  11. Entire Agreement. Except as provided herein, the Master Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without amendment or modification and is hereby ratified. The Master Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, supersedes any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof and contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto. This Amendment shall not have any force or effect until executed by all parties. The headings of this Amendment are for informational purposes only and shall not be used to interpret this Amendment

 

  12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original agreement and all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement. This Amendment may also be executed by facsimile counterparts.
