CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Various statements throughout this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may appear throughout this report. Words such as, but not limited to, “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “goal,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” and “could,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions or words, identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks, changes in circumstances, assumptions and uncertainties. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in our forward-looking statements include, among others:

 

    the ability of Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (we, our or Vanda) to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ ® (tasimelteon) for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24) in the U.S. and Europe;

 

    uncertainty as to the market awareness of Non-24 and the market acceptance of HETLIOZ ® ;

 

    our ability to generate U.S. sales of Fanapt ® (iloperidone) for the treatment of schizophrenia;

 

    the timing and costs of our establishment of a sales and marketing, supply chain, distribution, pharmacovigilance, compliance and safety infrastructure to promote Fanapt ® in the U.S.;

 

    our dependence on third-party manufacturers to manufacture HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® in sufficient quantities and quality;

 

    our limited sales and marketing infrastructure;

 

    the regulatory status of Fanapt ® in Europe;

 

    our ability to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® outside of the U.S.;

 

    our ability to prepare, file, prosecute, defend and enforce any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

    our ability to obtain the capital necessary to fund our research and development or commercial activities;

 

    a loss of rights to develop and commercialize our products under our license agreements;

 

    the ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of our products, and the labeling for any approved products;

 

    the timing and success of preclinical studies and clinical trials conducted by us and our development partners;

 

    a failure of our products to be demonstrably safe and effective;

 

    the size and growth of the potential markets for our products and the ability to serve those markets;

 

    our expectations regarding trends with respect to our revenues, costs, expenses and liabilities;

 

    the timing and costs of complying with the remaining post-marketing commitments and post-marketing requirements established in connection with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of Fanapt ® ;

 

    the scope, progress, expansion, and costs of developing and commercializing our products;

 

    our failure to identify or obtain rights to new products;

 

    a loss of any of our key scientists or management personnel;

 

    limitations on our ability to utilize some of all of our prior net operating losses and orphan drug and research and development credits;

 

    the cost and effects of litigation;

 

    losses incurred from product liability claims made against us; and

 

    use of our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities.

All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf. We undertake no obligation, and specifically decline any obligation, to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

We encourage you to read Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. In addition to the risks described below and in Item 1A of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, other unknown or unpredictable factors also could affect our results. Therefore, the information in this quarterly report should be read together with other reports and documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, which may supplement, modify, supersede or update those risk factors. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this report will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Business Organization and Presentation

Business Organization

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the Company) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapies to address high unmet medical needs and improve the lives of patients. The Company commenced its operations in 2003 and operates in one reporting segment. The Company’s portfolio includes the following products:

 

    HETLIOZ ® (tasimelteon), a product for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24), which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2014 and launched commercially in the U.S. in April 2014. In July 2015, the European Commission (EC) granted centralized marketing authorization with unified labeling for HETLIOZ ® for the treatment of Non-24 in totally blind adults. This authorization is valid in the 28 countries that are members of the European Union, as well as European Economic Area members Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. HETLIOZ ® has potential utility in a number of other circadian rhythm disorders and is presently in clinical development for the treatment of Jet Lag Disorder and Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS).

 

    Fanapt ® (iloperidone), a product for the treatment of schizophrenia, the oral formulation of which was being marketed and sold in the U.S. by Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) until December 31, 2014. Novartis transferred all the U.S. and Canadian commercial rights to the Fanapt ® franchise to the Company on December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Company’s distribution partners launched Fanapt ® in Israel and Mexico in 2014.

 

    Tradipitant (VLY-686), a small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist, which is presently in clinical development for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis and gastroparesis.

 

    Trichostatin A, a small molecule histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor.

 

    AQW051, a Phase II alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. The financial information as of June 30, 2016 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is unaudited, but in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for these interim periods have been included. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has estimated its annual fees for Fanapt ® under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. Management continually re-evaluates its estimates, judgments and assumptions, and management’s evaluation could change. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventory

Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost or market, includes the cost of third-party manufacturing and other direct and indirect costs and is valued using the first-in, first-out method. The Company capitalizes inventory costs associated with its products upon regulatory approval when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory is evaluated for impairment by consideration of factors such as lower of cost or market, net realizable value, obsolescence or expiry. Inventory not expected to be consumed within 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as non-current.

The Company applies the revenue recognition guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-15,  Revenue Recognition—Products . The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title to product and associated risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations.

Major Customers

HETLIOZ ® is only available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of specialty pharmacies, and is not available in retail pharmacies. Fanapt ® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of wholesalers and is available in retail pharmacies. The Company invoices and records revenue when its customers, specialty pharmacies and wholesalers, receive product from the third-party logistics warehouse. There were five major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues and, as a group, represented 86% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were four major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable and, as a group, represented 76% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2016.

Product Sales Discounts and Allowances

The Company’s product sales are recorded net of applicable discounts, rebates, chargebacks, service fees, co-pay assistance and product returns that are applicable for various government and commercial payors. Reserves established for discounts and returns are classified as reductions of accounts receivable if the amount is payable to direct customers, with the exception of service fees. Service fees are classified as a liability. Reserves established for rebates, chargebacks or co-pay assistance are classified as a liability if the amount is payable to a party other than customers. The Company currently records sales allowances for the following:

Prompt-pay: Specialty pharmacies and wholesalers are offered discounts for prompt payment. The Company expects that the specialty pharmacies and wholesalers will earn prompt payment discounts and, therefore, deducts the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.

Rebates: Allowances for rebates include mandated and supplemental discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as well as contracted rebate programs with other payors. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contracted discount rates and expected utilization. Estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which the Company has validated the insurance benefits. Rebates are generally invoiced and paid in arrears, such that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarter’s unpaid rebates. If actual future invoicing varies from estimates, the Company may need to adjust accruals, which would affect net revenue in the period of adjustment.

Chargebacks: Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers purchase directly from specialty pharmacies and wholesalers. Contracted customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions, non-profit clinics, and Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty pharmacy or wholesaler, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler and the discounted price paid to the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler by the contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which the Company has validated the insurance benefits.

Medicare Part D Coverage Gap:   Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit mandates manufacturers to fund approximately 50% of the Medicare Part D insurance coverage gap for prescription drugs sold to eligible patients. Estimates for expected Medicare Part D coverage gap are based in part on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which the Company has validated the insurance benefits. Funding of the coverage gap is generally invoiced and paid in arrears so that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarter activity. If actual future funding varies from estimates, the Company may need to adjust accruals, which would affect net revenue in the period of adjustment.

Service Fees: The Company also incurs specialty pharmacy and wholesaler fees for services and their data. These fees are based on contracted terms and are known amounts. The Company accrues service fees at the time of revenue recognition, resulting in a reduction of product sales and the recognition of an accrued liability, unless it receives an identifiable and separate benefit for the consideration and it can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. In which case, service fees are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.

Co-payment Assistance:   Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. Co-pay assistance utilization is based on information provided by the Company’s third-party administrator. The allowance for co-pay assistance is based on actual sales and an estimate for pending sales based on either historical activity or pending sales for which the Company has validated the insurance benefits.

Product Returns: Consistent with industry practice, the Company generally offers direct customers a limited right to return as defined within the Company’s returns policy. The Company considers several factors in the estimation process, including historical return activity, expiration dates of product shipped to specialty pharmacies, inventory levels within the distribution channel, product shelf life, prescription trends and other relevant factors.

Stock-Based Compensation

Compensation costs for all stock-based awards to employees and directors are measured based on the grant date fair value of those awards and recognized over the period during which the employee or director is required to perform service in exchange for the award. The Company recognizes the expense over the award’s vesting period. The fair value of stock options granted and restricted stock units (RSUs) awarded are amortized using the straight-line method. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded common stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has not paid dividends to its stockholders since its inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights, which was declared in September 2008) and does not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

Assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model for employee and director stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

The Company expenses the costs of advertising, including branded promotional expenses, as incurred. Branded advertising expenses, recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded an intangible asset of $25.0 million relating to HETLIOZ ® and recorded the related non-current liability relating to its obligation to make a milestone payment to Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) of $25.0 million in the event that cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded purchases of property, plant and equipment and the related current liability in the amount of $0.8 million.

Recent accounting pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. The standard will require the use of an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost. The standard is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. The ASU provides that all of the tax effects related to share-based payments are recorded as part of the provision for income taxes, allows entities to withhold an amount up to the employees’ maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction, allows entities to estimate the effect of forfeitures or recognized forfeitures when they occur, and other improvements to the accounting for share-based awards. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases . The new standard requires that lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments. The asset will be based on the liability subject to certain adjustments. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases). The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, dealing with changes to the subsequent measurement of inventory. Currently, an entity is required to measure its inventory at the lower of cost or market, whereby market can be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. The changes require that inventory be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, thereby eliminating the use of the other two market methodologies. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The new standard is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this new standard in the second quarter of 2016, and adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern . The new standard requires management of public and private companies to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a

going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The new standard is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This new standard requires companies to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of a good or service. The standard allows for two transition methods—entities can either apply the new standard (i) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or (ii) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers , which defers the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after that date. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue versus Net), in April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing , and in May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which provide additional clarification on certain topics addressed in ASU 2014-09. ASU 2016-08, ASU 2016-10, and ASU 2016-12 follow the same implementation guidelines as ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14. The Company is evaluating this standard to determine if adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

3. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, plus potential outstanding common stock for the period. Potential outstanding common stock includes stock options and shares underlying RSUs, but only to the extent that their inclusion is dilutive.

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015:

The Company incurred net losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 causing inclusion of any potentially dilutive securities to have an anti-dilutive effect, resulting in dilutive loss per share and basic loss per share attributable to common stockholders being equivalent.

5. Fair Value Measurements

Authoritative guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

 

    Level 1 — defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets

 

    Level 2 — defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable

 

    Level 3 — defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions

Marketable securities classified in Level 1 and Level 2 as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consist of available-for-sale marketable securities. The valuation of Level 1 instruments is determined using a market approach, and is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. The valuation of investments classified in Level 2 also is determined using a market approach based upon quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 2 securities include certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate notes that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. The Company did not transfer any assets between Level 2 and Level 1 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as follows:

6. Inventory

The Company evaluates expiry risk by evaluating current and future product demand relative to product shelf life. The Company builds demand forecasts by considering factors such as, but not limited to, overall market potential, market share, market acceptance and patient usage. Inventory levels are evaluated for the amount of inventory that would be sold within one year. At certain times, the level of inventory can exceed the forecasted level of cost of goods sold for the next twelve months. The Company classifies the estimate of such inventory as non-current. Inventory consisted of the following as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

In January 2014, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for HETLIOZ ® . As a result of this approval, the Company met a milestone under its license agreement with BMS that required the Company to make a license payment of $8.0 million to BMS. The $8.0 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® ,

which prior to June 2014, the Company expected to last until December 2022. In June 2014, the Company received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a patent covering the method of use of HETLIOZ ® . The patent expires in January 2033, thereby potentially extending the exclusivity protection in the U.S. beyond the composition of matter patent. As a result of the patent allowance, the Company extended the estimated useful life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® from December 2022 to January 2033. The Company is obligated to make a future milestone payment to BMS of $25.0 million in the event that cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. The likelihood of achieving the milestone and the related milestone obligation was determined to be probable during 2015. As a result, the future obligation of $25.0 million was recorded as a non-current liability along with a capitalized intangible assets relating to HETLIOZ ® . The actual payment of the obligation will occur once the $250.0 million in cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® is realized. Intangible assets relating HETLIOZ ® are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® , which is expected to be January 2033.

In 2009, the Company announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for Fanapt ® . As a result of this approval, the Company met a milestone under its original sublicense agreement with Novartis that required the Company to make a license payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt ® franchise to the Company on December 31, 2014. As a result, the Company recognized an intangible asset of $15.9 million related to the reacquired rights to Fanapt ® . Intangible assets relating to Fanapt ® are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. composition of matter patent for Fanapt ® through November 2016. The useful life estimation is based on the market participant methodology prescribed by ASC Subtopic 805,  Business Combinations , and therefore does not reflect the impact of additional Fanapt ® patents solely owned by the Company with varying expiration dates, the latest of which is December 2031.

The intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful economic life using the straight-line method. Amortization expense was $2.9 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $5.9 million and $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following is a summary of the future intangible asset amortization schedule as of June 30, 2016:

9. Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The fact that the Company has historically generated net operating losses (NOLs) serves as strong evidence that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future. Therefore, the Company has a full valuation allowance against all deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. As a result of the tax valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, there was no provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Certain tax attributes of the Company, including NOLs and credits, are subject to limitation as a result of any ownership change as defined under Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (IRC), Section 382. A change in ownership could affect the Company’s ability to use NOLs and credit carryforward (tax attributes). Ownership changes did occur as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2008. However, the Company believes that it had sufficient Built-In-Gain to offset the IRC Section 382 limitation generated by the ownership changes. Any future ownership changes may cause the Company’s existing tax attributes to have additional limitations. Additionally, the Company maintains a valuation allowance on its tax attributes and therefore, any IRC Section 382 limitation would not have a material impact on the Company’s provision for income taxes as of June 30, 2016.

In 2011, the Company entered into an operating lease for its headquarters at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. A lease amendment in 2014 increased the office space under lease to 30,260 square feet, and a lease amendment in June 2016 extended the lease term from April 2023 to September 2026. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants, the Company has the right to renew the lease for five years following its expiration. The Company has the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions. The lease may be terminated early by the Company or the landlord under certain circumstances.

In June 2016, the Company entered into a sublease under which the Company will lease 9,928 square feet of office space for its headquarters at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The sublease term begins in January 2017 and ends in July 2026, but may be terminated earlier by either party under certain circumstances. The Company has the right to sublease or assign all or a portion of the premises, subject to standard conditions.

Rent expense under operating leases was $0.5 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

The Company has entered into a number of standard intellectual property indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of its business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company’s business partners or customers, in connection with any U.S. patent or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to the Company’s products. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual from the date of execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. Since inception, the Company has not incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. The Company also indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain conditions.

License Agreements

The Company’s rights to develop and commercialize its products are subject to the terms and conditions of licenses granted to the Company by other pharmaceutical companies.

HETLIOZ ® . In February 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with BMS under which it received an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize HETLIOZ ® . In partial consideration for the license, the Company paid BMS an initial license fee of $0.5 million. The Company made a milestone payment to BMS of $1.0 million under the license agreement in 2006 relating to the initiation of its first Phase III clinical trial for HETLIOZ ® . As a result of the FDA acceptance of the Company’s NDA for HETLIOZ ® for the treatment of Non-24 in July 2013, the Company incurred a $3.0 million milestone obligation under the license agreement with BMS. As a result of the FDA’s approval of the HETLIOZ ® NDA in January 2014, the Company incurred an $8.0 million milestone obligation in the first quarter of 2014 under the same license agreement that was capitalized as an intangible asset and is being amortized over the expected HETLIOZ ® patent life in the U.S. The Company is obligated to make a future milestone payment to BMS of $25.0 million in the event that cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. During the first quarter of 2015, the likelihood of achieving the milestone and the related milestone obligation was determined to be probable. As such, the $25.0 million milestone obligation was capitalized as an intangible asset and is being amortized over the expected HETLIOZ ® patent life in the U.S. The actual payment of the $25.0 million will occur once the $250.0 million in cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® is realized. Additionally, the Company is obligated to make royalty payments on HETLIOZ ® net sales to BMS in any territory where the Company commercializes HETLIOZ ® for a period equal to the greater of 10 years following the first commercial sale in the territory or the expiry of the new

chemical entity patent in that territory. During the period prior to the expiry of the new chemical entity patent in a territory, the Company is obligated to pay a 10% royalty on net sales in that territory. The royalty rate is decreased by half for countries in which no new chemical entity patent existed or for the remainder of the 10 years after the expiry of the new chemical entity patent. The Company is also obligated under the license agreement to pay BMS a percentage of any sublicense fees, upfront payments and milestone and other payments (excluding royalties) that it receives from a third party in connection with any sublicensing arrangement, at a rate which is in the mid-twenties. The Company has agreed with BMS in the license agreement for HETLIOZ ® to use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize HETLIOZ ® .

The license agreement was amended in April 2013 to add a process that would allow BMS to waive the right to develop and commercialize HETLIOZ ® in those countries not covered by a development and commercialization agreement. Subsequent to the execution of the April 2013 amendment, BMS provided the Company with formal written notice that it irrevocably waived the option to exercise the right to reacquire any or all rights to any product (as defined in the license agreement) containing HETLIOZ ® , or to develop or commercialize any such product, in the countries not covered by a development and commercialization agreement.

Either party may terminate the HETLIOZ ® license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the agreement by the other. In the event the Company terminates the license, or if BMS terminates the license due to the Company’s breach, all rights licensed and developed by the Company under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to BMS on an exclusive basis.

Fanapt ® . A predecessor company of Sanofi, Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc. (HMRI) discovered Fanapt ® and completed early clinical work on the product. In 1996, following a review of its product portfolio, HMRI licensed its rights to the Fanapt ® patents and patent applications to Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Titan) on an exclusive basis. In 1997, soon after it had acquired its rights, Titan sublicensed its rights to Fanapt ® on an exclusive basis to Novartis. In June 2004, the Company acquired exclusive worldwide rights to these patents and patent applications, as well as certain Novartis patents and patent applications to develop and commercialize Fanapt ® , through a sublicense agreement with Novartis. In October 2009, subsequent to the FDA’s approval of the NDA for Fanapt ® , the Company entered into an amended and restated sublicense agreement with Novartis, which amended and restated the June 2004 sublicense agreement. Pursuant to the amended and restated sublicense agreement, Novartis had exclusive commercialization rights to all formulations of Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Canada. Novartis began selling Fanapt ® in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2010. Novartis was responsible for the further clinical development activities in the U.S. and Canada. The Company also received royalties equal to 10% of net sales of Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Canada. The Company retained exclusive rights to Fanapt ® outside the U.S. and Canada and was obligated to make royalty payments to Sanofi S.A. (Sanofi) on Fanapt ® sales outside the U.S. and Canada.

Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt ® franchise to the Company on December 31, 2014. The Company is obligated to make royalty payments to Sanofi and Titan, at a percentage rate equal to 23% on annual U.S. net sales of Fanapt ® up to $200.0 million, and at a percentage rate in the mid-twenties on sales over $200.0 million through November 2016. In February 2016, the Company amended the agreement with Sanofi and Titan to remove Titan as the entity through which royalty payments from the Company are directed to Sanofi following the expiration of the new chemical entity (NCE) patent for Fanapt ® in the U.S. on November 15, 2016. Under the amended agreement, the Company will pay directly to Sanofi a fixed royalty of 3% of net sales from November 16, 2016 through December 31, 2019 related to manufacturing know-how. The Company made a $2.0 million payment during the six months ended June 30, 2016 that applied to this 3% manufacturing know-how royalty and will make additional royalty payments only to the extent that the Company’s cumulative royalty obligations during this period exceed the amount of the pre-payment. No further royalties on manufacturing know-how are payable by the Company after December 31, 2019. This amended agreement does not alter Titan’s obligation under the license agreement to make royalty payments to Sanofi prior to November 16, 2016 or the Company’s obligations under the sublicense agreement to pay Sanofi a fixed royalty on Fanapt ® net sales equal up to 6% on Sanofi know-how not related to manufacturing under certain conditions for a period of up to 10 years in markets where the NCE patent has expired or was not issued.

The Company has entered into distribution agreements with Probiomed S.A. de C.V. for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in Mexico and Megapharm Ltd. for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in Israel.

Tradipitant. In April 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) pursuant to which the Company acquired an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize an NK-1R antagonist, tradipitant, for all human indications. The patent describing tradipitant as a new chemical entity expires in April 2023, except in the U.S., where it expires in June 2024 absent any applicable patent term adjustments.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company paid Lilly an initial license fee of $1.0 million and will be responsible for all development costs. The initial license fee was recognized as research and development expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012. Lilly is also eligible to receive additional payments based upon achievement of specified development and commercialization milestones as well as tiered-royalties on net sales at percentage rates up to the low double digits. These milestones include $4.0 million for pre-NDA approval milestones and up to $95.0 million for future regulatory approval and sales milestones. The Company is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize tradipitant.

Either party may terminate the license agreement under certain circumstances, including a material breach of the license agreement by the other. In the event that the Company terminates the license agreement, or if Lilly terminates due to the Company’s breach or for certain other reasons set forth in the license agreement, all rights licensed and developed by the Company under the license agreement will revert or otherwise be licensed back to Lilly on an exclusive basis, subject to payment by Lilly to the Company of a royalty on net sales of products that contain tradipitant.

AQW051. In connection with the settlement agreement with Novartis relating to Fanapt ® , the Company received an exclusive worldwide license under certain patents and patent applications, and other licenses to intellectual property, to develop and commercialize AQW051, a Phase II alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist.

Pursuant to the license agreement, the Company is obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to develop and commercialize AQW051 and is responsible for all development costs under the AQW051 license agreement. The Company has no milestone obligations; however, Novartis is eligible to receive tiered-royalties on net sales at percentage rates up to the mid-teens.

Research and Development and Marketing Agreements

In the course of its business, the Company regularly enters into agreements with clinical organizations to provide services relating to clinical development and clinical manufacturing activities under fee service arrangements. The Company’s current agreements for clinical services may be terminated on generally 60 days’ notice without incurring additional charges, other than charges for work completed but not paid for through the effective date of termination and other costs incurred by the Company’s contractors in closing out work in progress as of the effective date of termination.

11. Legal Matters

In June 2014, the Company filed suit against Roxane Laboratories, Inc. (Roxane) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court). The suit seeks an adjudication that Roxane has infringed one or more claims of the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 8,586,610 (the ‘610 Patent) by submitting to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘610 Patent in November 2027. In addition, pursuant to the settlement agreement with Novartis, the Company assumed Novartis’ patent infringement action against Roxane in the Delaware District Court. That suit alleges that Roxane has infringed one or more claims of U.S Patent RE39198 (the ‘198 Patent), which is licensed exclusively to the Company, by filing an ANDA for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘198 Patent in November 2016. These two cases against Roxane were consolidated by agreement of the parties and were tried together in a five-day bench trial that concluded on March 4, 2016. The parties are awaiting the Delaware District Court’s decision.

In 2015, the Company filed six separate patent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against Roxane, Inventia Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Lupin), Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Taro Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp., (collectively, the Defendants). The lawsuits each seek an adjudication that the respective Defendants infringed one or more claims of the ‘610 Patent and/or the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 9,138,432 (the ‘432 Patent) by submitting to the FDA and ANDA for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘610 Patent in November 2027 or the ‘432 Patent in September 2025. The Defendants have denied infringement and counterclaimed for declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of the ‘610 patent and the ‘432 Patent. Lupin filed counter claims for declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of seven of the Company’s U.S. method of treatment patents that are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the Orange Book) related to Fanapt ® (such seven patents, the Method of Treatment Patents). The Company has not sued Lupin for infringing the Method of Treatment Patents. The Delaware District Court has scheduled a five-day bench trial beginning on May 15, 2017 in which all of these lawsuits regarding infringement of the ‘610 Patent and the ‘432 Patent would be tried together and a bench trial on Lupin’s counter claims regarding the Method of Treatment Patents for September 18, 2017.

On February 26, 2016, Roxane filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of the Method of Treatment Patents. The Company has not sued Roxane for infringing the Method of Treatment Patents. The Company filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit for lack of personal jurisdiction or to transfer the lawsuit to the Delaware District Court. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

Table of Contents

On February 26, 2016, Roxane filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the ‘432 Patent with the Patent Trials and Appeals Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The Company filed a Preliminary Response on June 7, 2016, and the PTAB has until September 7, 2016 in which to institute or deny the IPR proceeding. If the PTAB decides to institute the IPR proceeding, Roxane will have the opportunity to challenge the validity of the ‘432 Patent under certain sections of the Patent Act before the PTAB. The Company intends to continue to vigorously defend the validity of the ‘432 Patent.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2016, there were 7,630,211 shares that were subject to outstanding options and RSUs under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (2006 Plan) and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (2016 Plan) (collectively, the Plans). The 2006 Plan expired by its terms on April 12, 2016. Outstanding options and RSUs under the 2006 Plan remain in effect and the terms of the 2006 Plan continue to apply, but no additional awards can be granted under the 2006 Plan. On June 16, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved the 2016 Plan. There are 2,000,000 shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2016 Plan, of which 1,887,000 shares remained available for future grant as of June 30, 2016.

The Company has granted option awards under the Plans with service conditions (service option awards) that are subject to terms and conditions established by the compensation committee of the board of directors. Service option awards have 10-year contractual terms and all service option awards granted prior to December 31, 2006, service option awards granted to new employees, and certain service option awards granted to existing employees vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date with respect to the 25% of the shares subject to service option awards. The remaining 75% of the shares subject to the service option awards vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments thereafter over three years. Certain service option awards granted to existing employees after December 31, 2006 vest and become exercisable monthly in equal installments over four years. The initial service option awards granted to directors upon their election vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of four years, while the subsequent annual service option awards granted to directors vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of one year. Certain service option awards to executives and directors provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control of the Company. Certain service option awards to employees and executives provide for accelerated vesting if the respective employee’s or executive’s service is terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or permanent disability. As of June 30, 2016, $11.8 million of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested service option awards are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. No option awards are classified as a liability as of June 30, 2016.

ITEM 2 Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (we, our or Vanda) is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of novel therapies to address high unmet medical needs and improve the lives of patients. We commenced operations in 2003 and our product portfolio includes:

 

    HETLIOZ ® (tasimelteon), a product for the treatment of Non-24-Hour Sleep-Wake Disorder (Non-24), was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in January 2014 and launched commercially in the U.S. in April 2014. In July 2015, the European Commission (EC) granted centralized marketing authorization with unified labeling for HETLIOZ ® for the treatment of Non-24 in totally blind adults. This authorization is valid in the 28 countries that are members of the European Union, as well as European Economic Area members Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. We are preparing to launch HETLIOZ ® in Germany in 2016. HETLIOZ ® has potential utility in a number of other circadian rhythm disorders and is presently in clinical development for the treatment of Jet Lag Disorder (JLD) and Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS).

 

    Fanapt ® (iloperidone), a product for the treatment of schizophrenia, the oral formulation of which was being marketed and sold in the U.S. by Novartis Pharma AG (Novartis) until December 31, 2014. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all of the U.S. and Canadian commercial rights to the Fanapt ® franchise to us on December 31, 2014. In May 2016, the FDA approved our supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for Fanapt ® , modifying and expanding the prescribing information to describe the effectiveness of Fanapt ® as a maintenance treatment for schizophrenia in adults. In addition, the FDA granted three years of marketing exclusivity for the changes related to this sNDA and added this entry to the Fanapt ® Orange Book listing, providing exclusivity until May 26, 2019 based upon three years from the sNDA approval date. In December 2015, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) accepted for review a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Fanaptum ® oral. Additionally, our distribution partners launched Fanapt ® in Israel and Mexico in 2014.

 

    Tradipitant (VLY-686), a small molecule neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) antagonist, which is presently in clinical development for the treatment of chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis and gastroparesis.

 

    Trichostatin A, a small molecule histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor.

 

    AQW051, a Phase II alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor partial agonist.

Operational Highlights

Since we began operations in March 2003, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the in-licensing, clinical development and commercialization of our products. Our ability to generate meaningful product sales and achieve profitability largely depends on our ability to successfully commercialize HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® in the U.S. and Europe, on our ability, alone or with others, to complete the development of our products, and to obtain the regulatory approvals for and to manufacture, market and sell our products. The results of our operations will vary significantly from year-to-year and quarter-to-quarter and depend on a number of factors, including risks related to our business, risks related to our industry, and other risks which are detailed in Risk Factors reported in Item 1A of Part I of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

As described in Part II, Item 1, Legal Proceedings , of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have initiated lawsuits to enforce our patent rights against Roxane Laboratories, Inc., Inventia Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Taro Pharmaceuticals, U.S.A., Inc./Taro Pharmaceuticals Industries, Ltd., Apotex Inc. and Lupin Limited and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, as well as the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies including estimates, assumptions and judgments from those described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations , included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. A summary of our significant accounting policies appears in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. We believe that the following accounting policies are important to understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and we have accordingly included them in this discussion.

Inventory

Inventory, which is recorded at the lower of cost or market, includes the cost of third-party manufacturing and other direct and indirect costs and is valued using the first-in, first-out method. We capitalize inventory costs associated with our products upon regulatory approval when, based on management’s judgment, future commercialization is considered probable and the future economic benefit is expected to be realized; otherwise, such costs are expensed as research and development. Inventory is evaluated for impairment by consideration of factors such as lower of cost or market, net realizable value, obsolescence or expiry.

Net Product Sales

Our net product sales consist of sales of HETLIOZ ® and sales of Fanapt ® . We apply the revenue recognition guidance in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Subtopic 605-15,  Revenue Recognition—Products . We recognize revenue from product sales when there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, title to product and associated risk of loss has passed to the customer, the price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and we have no further performance obligations.

HETLIOZ ® is only available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of specialty pharmacies, and is not available in retail pharmacies. Fanapt ® is available in the U.S. for distribution through a limited number of wholesalers and is available in retail pharmacies. We invoice and record revenue when our customers, specialty pharmacies and wholesalers, receive product from the third-party logistics warehouse. Revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with these customers.

We have entered into distribution agreements with Probiomed S.A. de C.V. (Probiomed) for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in Mexico and Megapharm Ltd. for the commercialization of Fanapt ® in Israel.

Product Sales Discounts and Allowances.  Product sales are recorded net of applicable discounts, rebates, chargebacks, service fees, co-pay assistance and product returns that are applicable for various government and commercial payors. Reserves established for discounts and returns are classified as reductions of accounts receivable if the amount is payable to direct customers, with the exception of service fees. Service fees are classified as a liability. Reserves established for rebates, chargebacks or co-pay assistance are classified as a liability if the amount is payable to a party other than customers. We currently record sales allowances for the following:

Prompt-pay:   Specialty pharmacies and wholesalers are offered discounts for prompt payment. We expect that the specialty pharmacies and wholesalers will earn prompt payment discounts and, therefore, deduct the full amount of these discounts from total product sales when revenues are recognized.

Rebates:   Allowances for rebates include mandated and supplemental discounts under the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program as well as contracted rebate programs with other payors. Rebate amounts owed after the final dispensing of the product to a benefit plan participant are based upon contractual agreements or legal requirements with public sector benefit providers, such as Medicaid. The allowance for rebates is based on statutory or contracted discount rates and expected utilization. Estimates for the expected utilization of rebates are based on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which we have validated the insurance benefits. Rebates are generally invoiced and paid in arrears, such that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarter’s unpaid rebates. If actual future invoicing varies from estimates, we may need to adjust accruals, which would affect net revenue in the period of adjustment.

Chargebacks:   Chargebacks are discounts that occur when contracted customers purchase directly from specialty pharmacies and wholesalers. Contracted customers, which currently consist primarily of Public Health Service institutions, non-profit clinics, and Federal government entities purchasing via the Federal Supply Schedule, generally purchase the product at a discounted price. The specialty pharmacy or wholesaler, in turn, charges back the difference between the price initially paid by the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler and the discounted price paid to the specialty pharmacy or wholesaler by the contracted customer. The allowance for chargebacks is based on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which we have validated the insurance benefits.

Medicare Part   D Coverage Gap:   Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit mandates manufacturers to fund approximately 50% of the Medicare Part D insurance coverage gap for prescription drugs sold to eligible patients. Estimates for expected Medicare Part D coverage gap are based in part on historical activity and, where available, actual and pending prescriptions for which we have validated the insurance benefits. Funding of the coverage gap is generally invoiced and paid in arrears so that the accrual balance consists of an estimate of the amount expected to be incurred for the current quarter’s activity, plus an accrual balance for known prior quarter activity. If actual future funding varies from estimates, we may need to adjust accruals, which would affect net sales in the period of adjustment.

Service Fees:  We also incur specialty pharmacy fees and wholesaler for services and their data. These fees are based on contracted terms and are known amounts. We accrue service fees at the time of revenue recognition, resulting in a reduction of product sales and the recognition of an accrued liability, unless it receives an identifiable and separate benefit for the consideration and it can reasonably estimate the fair value of the benefit received. In which case, service fees are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense.

Co-payment Assistance:   Patients who have commercial insurance and meet certain eligibility requirements may receive co-payment assistance. Co-pay assistance utilization is based on information provided by our third-party administrator. The allowance for co-pay assistance is based on actual sales and an estimate for pending sales based on either historical activity or pending sales for which we have validated the insurance benefits.

Product Returns:  Consistent with industry practice, we generally offer direct customers a limited right to return as defined within our returns policy. We consider several factors in the estimation process, including historical return activity, expiration dates of product shipped to specialty pharmacies, inventory levels within the distribution channel, product shelf life, prescription trends and other relevant factors.

The provision of $27.1 million for rebates and chargebacks for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily represents Medicaid rebates and contracted rebate programs applicable to sales of Fanapt ® . The provision of $9.7 million for discounts, returns and other for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily represents wholesaler distribution fees applicable to sales of Fanapt ® and co-pay assistance costs and prompt pay discounts applicable to the sales of both HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® .

Stock-based compensation

We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. Expected volatility rates are based on the historical volatility of our publicly traded common stock and other factors. The risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. We have not paid dividends to our stockholders since our inception (other than a dividend of preferred share purchase rights which was declared in September 2008) and do not plan to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. Stock-based compensation expense is also affected by the expected forfeiture rate for the respective option grants. If our estimates of the fair value of these equity instruments or expected forfeitures are too high or too low, it would have the effect of overstating or understating expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of fees for services provided by third parties in connection with the clinical trials, costs of contract manufacturing services, milestone payments made under licensing agreements prior to regulatory approval, costs of materials used in clinical trials and research and development, costs for regulatory consultants and filings, depreciation of capital resources used to develop products, related facilities costs, and salaries, other employee-related costs and stock-based compensation for research and development personnel. We expense research and development costs as they are incurred for products in the development stage, including manufacturing costs and milestone payments made under license agreements prior to FDA approval. Upon and subsequent to FDA approval, manufacturing and milestone payments made under license agreements are capitalized. Milestone payments are accrued when it is deemed probable that the milestone event will be achieved. Costs related to the acquisition of intellectual property are expensed as incurred if the underlying technology is developed in connection with our research and development efforts and has no alternative future use.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, other related costs for personnel, including stock-based compensation, related to executive, finance, accounting, information technology, marketing, medical affairs and human resource functions. Other costs include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses and fees for marketing, medical affairs, legal, accounting and other professional services. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include third party expenses incurred to support sales, business development, marketing and other business activities. Additionally, selling, general and administrative expenses include our estimate for the annual Patient Protection and Affordable Care fee.

In January 2014, we announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for HETLIOZ ® . As a result of this approval, we met a milestone under our license agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS) that required us to make a license payment of $8.0 million to BMS. The $8.0 million is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® , which prior to June 2014, we expected to last until December 2022. In June 2014, we received a notice of allowance from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for a patent covering the method of use of HETLIOZ ® . The patent expires in January 2033, thereby potentially extending the exclusivity protection in the U.S. beyond the composition of matter patent. As a result of the patent allowance, we extended the estimated useful life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® from December 2022 to January 2033. We are obligated to make a future milestone payment to BMS of $25.0 million in the event that cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. The likelihood of achieving the milestone and the related milestone obligation was determined to be probable during 2015. As a result, the future obligation of $25.0 million was recorded as a non-current liability along with a capitalized intangible assets relating to HETLIOZ ® . The actual payment of the obligation will occur once the $250.0 million in cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® is realized. Intangible assets relating HETLIOZ ® are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. patent for HETLIOZ ® , which is expected to be January 2033.

In 2009, we announced that the FDA had approved the NDA for Fanapt ® . As a result of this approval, we met a milestone under our original sublicense agreement with Novartis that required us to make a license payment of $12.0 million to Novartis. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt ® franchise to us on December 31, 2014. As a result, we recognized an intangible asset of $15.9 million related to the reacquired rights to Fanapt ® . Intangible assets relating to Fanapt ® are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the U.S. composition of matter patent for Fanapt ® to November 2016. The useful life estimation is based on the market participant methodology prescribed by ASC Subtopic 805,  Business Combinations , and therefore does not reflect the impact of additional Fanapt ® patents solely owned by us with varying expiration dates, the latest of which is December 2031.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for information on recent accounting pronouncements.

Results of Operations

We anticipate that our results of operations will fluctuate for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including our and our partners’ ability to successfully commercialize our products, any possible payments made or received pursuant to license or collaboration agreements, progress of our research and development efforts, the timing and outcome of clinical trials and related possible regulatory approvals. Our limited operating history makes predictions of future operations difficult or impossible. Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses resulting in an accumulated deficit of $344.8 million as of June 30, 2016.

HETLIOZ ® product sales increased by $7.4 million, or 74%, to $17.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.

Fanapt ® product sales increased by $1.0 million, or 6%, to $18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $17.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. We began selling Fanapt ® commercially in the U.S. in January 2015.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $0.7 million, or 12%, to $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Cost of goods sold includes third party manufacturing costs of product sold, third party royalty costs and distribution and other costs. Third party royalty costs are 10% of net U.S. sales of HETLIOZ ® and 23% of net U.S. sales of Fanapt ® .

HETLIOZ ® cost of goods sold as a percentage of HETLIOZ ® revenue depends upon our cost to manufacture inventory at normalized production levels with our third party manufacturers. We expect that, in the future, total HETLIOZ ® manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold will be less than 2% of our net HETLIOZ ® product sales.

Fanapt ® work-in-process inventory and finished goods inventory acquired from Novartis as part of the acquisition of the Fanapt ® business were recorded at fair value. The fair value of the inventory acquired from Novartis represents a higher cost than if new work-in-process inventory and finished goods inventory was manufactured at this time. We expect that, in the future, total U.S. Fanapt ® manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold will be less than 4% of our net U.S. Fanapt ® product sales.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 14%, to $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase is primarily the result of increased clinical trial expenses associated with the HETLIOZ ® Jet Lag Disorder and SMS programs and the tradipitant chronic pruritus in atopic dermatitis pruritus program partially offset by a decline in expenses associated with Fanapt ® as 2015 results included close out Fanapt ® clinical trial expenses transitioned to us as part of the settlement agreement with Novartis. The following table summarizes the costs of our product development initiatives for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses as we continue to develop our products. In addition, we expect to incur licensing costs in the future that could be substantial, as we continue our efforts to expand our product pipeline.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.3 million, or 34%, to $24.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of marketing and sales efforts around both HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® in the U.S. as well as increased legal fees associated with ongoing litigation.

Intangible asset amortization . Intangible asset amortization was $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Intangible asset amortization relating to HETLIOZ ® amounted to $0.4 million, and intangible asset amortization relating to Fanapt ® amounted to $2.5 million for each of the three-month periods. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt ® franchise to us on December 31, 2014 resulting in an increase in capitalized intangible assets of $15.9 million that is being amortized until November 2016.

Fanapt ® product sales increased by $3.4 million, or 10%, to $35.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $32.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. We began selling Fanapt ® commercially in the U.S. in January 2015.

Cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold increased by $1.7 million, or 16%, to $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $10.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Cost of goods sold includes third party manufacturing costs of product sold, third party royalty costs and distribution and other costs. Third party royalty costs are 10% of net U.S. sales of HETLIOZ ® and 23% of net U.S. sales of Fanapt ® .

HETLIOZ ® cost of goods sold as a percentage of HETLIOZ ® revenue depends upon our cost to manufacture inventory at normalized production levels with our third party manufacturers. We expect that, in the future, total HETLIOZ ® manufacturing costs included in cost of goods sold will be less than 2% of our net HETLIOZ ® product sales.

(1) We record direct costs, including personnel costs and related benefits, on a project-by-project basis. Many of our research and development costs are not attributable to any individual project because we share resources across several development projects. We record indirect costs that support a number of our research and development activities in the aggregate, including stock-based compensation.

We expect to incur significant research and development expenses as we continue to develop our products. In addition, we expect to incur licensing costs in the future that could be substantial, as we continue our efforts to develop our products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $16.8 million, or 45%, to $54.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $37.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of marketing and sales efforts around both HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® in the U.S., an increase in the number of employees during 2015, including the hiring of new members of the executive management team, as well as increased legal fees associated with ongoing litigation.

Intangible asset amortization . Intangible asset amortization decreased by $1.2 million, or 17%, to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $7.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The likelihood of achieving a future milestone obligation that becomes payable to BMS when cumulative sales of HETLIOZ ® equal $250.0 million was determined to be probable in the first quarter of 2015 resulting in an increase in capitalized intangible assets of $25.0 million. As a result, intangible asset amortization relating to HETLIOZ ® for the six months ended June 30, 2015 had included additional amortization of $1.2 million for a catch-up adjustment to retroactively record cumulative amortization from February 1 to December 31, 2014 relating to the capitalized intangible asset of $25.0 million.

Intangible asset amortization relating to Fanapt ® was $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. Pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement with Novartis, Novartis transferred all U.S. and Canadian rights in the Fanapt ® franchise to us on December 31, 2014 resulting in an increase in capitalized intangible assets of $15.9 million that is being amortized until November 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2016, our total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities were $136.0 million compared to $143.2 million at December 31, 2015. Our cash and cash equivalents are deposits in operating accounts and highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at date of purchase and consist of time deposits, investments in money market funds with commercial banks and financial institutions, and commercial paper of high-quality corporate issuers. Our marketable securities consist of investments in government sponsored enterprises and commercial paper.

As of June 30, 2016, we maintained all of our cash and cash equivalents in two financial institutions. Deposits held with these institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, but we do not anticipate any losses with respect to such deposits.

We expect to incur substantial costs and expenses throughout 2016 and beyond in connection with our U.S. commercial activities for HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® , including Medicaid rebates, the European commercial launch activities for HETLIOZ ® and a probable future milestone payment of $25.0 million to BMS in the event cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. During this time, we will evaluate the commercial opportunity for Fanapt ® in Europe, assuming EMA approval. Additionally, we continue to pursue market approval of HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® in other regions. Because of the uncertainties discussed above, the costs to advance our research and development projects and the U.S. commercial activities for HETLIOZ ® and Fanapt ® are difficult to estimate and may vary significantly. Additionally, the outcome of the outstanding Fanapt ® patent infringement lawsuits could have a material impact on future cash flows. Management believes that our existing funds will be sufficient to meet our operating plans for the foreseeable future. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, primarily including our ability to generate revenue, the scope and costs of our commercial, manufacturing and process development activities and the magnitude of our discovery, preclinical and clinical development programs.

We may need or desire to obtain additional capital to finance our operations through debt, equity or alternative financing arrangements. We may also seek capital through collaborations or partnerships with other companies. The issuance of debt could require us to grant liens on certain of our assets that may limit our flexibility and debt securities may be convertible into common stock. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, the terms and prices for these financings may be much more favorable to the new investors than the terms obtained by our existing stockholders. These financings also may significantly dilute the ownership of our existing stockholders. If we are unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our future activities which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. There can be no assurance that any additional financing required in the future will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $27.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to a net decrease of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $23.0 million resulting primarily from the net impact of accruals for government and other rebates and accounts receivable relating to initial sales of Fanapt ® for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease from the net change in operating assets and liabilities was partially offset by a decrease in net purchases of marketable securities of $9.4 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303(a) (4) of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation S-K.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

(1) This table does not include various agreements that we have entered into for services with third party vendors, including agreements to conduct clinical trials, to manufacture products, and for consulting and other contracted services due to the cancelable nature of the services. We accrued the costs of these agreements based on estimates of work completed to date. Additionally, this table does not include rebates, chargebacks or discounts recorded as liabilities at the time that product sales are recognized as revenue.
(2) This table does not include a probable future milestone obligation under our license agreement with BMS, where we will be obligated to make a future milestone payment of $25.0 million in the event cumulative worldwide sales of HETLIOZ ® reach $250.0 million. This probable obligation has been accrued as a non-current liability in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016.
(3) This table does not include potential future milestone obligations under our license agreement with Eli Lilly for the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize tradipitant where we could be obligated to make future milestone payments of up to $4.0 million for pre-NDA approval milestones and up to $95.0 million for future regulatory approval and sales milestones.

Operating leases

Commitments relating to operating leases represent the minimum annual future payments under operating leases for a total of 40,188 square feet of office space for our headquarters office at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. that expire in 2026 and the operating lease for 2,880 square feet of office space for our European headquarters in London that has a noncancellable lease term ending in 2021.

ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest rate risks

Our exposure to market risk is currently confined to our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and restricted cash. We currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. We have not used derivative financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. Because of the short-term maturities of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities, we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any significant impact on the realized value of our investments.

Concentrations of credit risk

We deposit our cash with financial institutions that we consider to be of high credit quality and purchase marketable securities which are generally investment grade, liquid, short-term fixed income securities and money-market instruments denominated in U.S. dollars. Our marketable securities consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate notes and U.S. government agency notes.

Revenues and accounts receivable are concentrated with specialty pharmacies and wholesalers. There were five major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of total revenues and, as a group, represented 86% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016. There were four major customers that each accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable and, as a group, represented 76% of total accounts receivable at June 30, 2016. We have not experienced any losses related to receivables from these customers. We mitigate our credit risk relating to accounts receivable from customers by performing ongoing credit evaluations.

Effects of inflation

Inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations.

 

ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) as of June 30, 2016. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

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 second quarter of 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings

In June 2014, we filed suit against Roxane Laboratories, Inc. (Roxane) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the Delaware District Court). The suit seeks an adjudication that Roxane has infringed one or more claims of our U.S. Patent No. 8,586,610 (the ‘610 Patent) by submitting to the FDA an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘610 Patent in November 2027. In addition, pursuant to the settlement agreement with Novartis, we assumed Novartis’ patent infringement action against Roxane in the Delaware District Court. That suit alleges that Roxane has infringed one or more claims of U.S Patent RE39198 (the ‘198 Patent), which is licensed exclusively to us, by filing an ANDA for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘198 Patent in November 2016. These two cases against Roxane were consolidated by agreement of the parties and were tried together in a five-day bench trial that concluded on March 4, 2016. The parties are awaiting the Delaware District Court’s decision.

In 2015, we filed six separate patent infringement lawsuits in the Delaware District Court against Roxane, Inventia Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., Lupin Ltd. and Lupin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Lupin), Taro Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and Taro Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd., and Apotex Inc. and Apotex Corp., (collectively, the Defendants). The lawsuits each seek an adjudication that the respective Defendants infringed one or more claims of the ‘610 Patent and/or our U.S. Patent No. 9,138,432 (the ‘432 Patent) by submitting to the FDA and ANDA for a generic version of Fanapt ® prior to the expiration of the ‘610 Patent in November 2027 or the ‘432 Patent in

Table of Contents

September 2025. The Defendants have denied infringement and counterclaimed for declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of the ‘610 patent and the ‘432 Patent. Lupin filed counter claims for declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of seven of the method of treatment patents that are listed in the Approved Drug Products with Therapeutic Equivalence Evaluations (the Orange Book) related to Fanapt ® (such seven patents, the Method of Treatment Patents). We have not sued Lupin for infringing the Method of Treatment Patents. The Delaware District Court has scheduled a five-day bench trial beginning on May 15, 2017 in which all of these lawsuits regarding infringement of the ‘610 Patent and the ‘432 Patent would be tried together and a bench trial on Lupin’s counter claims regarding the Method of Treatment Patents for September 18, 2017.

On February 26, 2016, Roxane filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The suit seeks a declaratory judgment of invalidity and noninfringement of the Method of Treatment Patents. We have not sued Roxane for infringing the Method of Treatment Patents. We filed a motion to dismiss this lawsuit for lack of personal jurisdiction or to transfer the lawsuit to the Delaware District Court. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against this lawsuit.

On February 26, 2016, Roxane filed a Petition for Inter Partes Review (IPR) of the ‘432 Patent with the Patent Trials and Appeals Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. We filed a Preliminary Response on June 7, 2016, and the PTAB has until September 7, 2016 in which to institute or deny the IPR proceeding. If the PTAB decides to institute the IPR proceeding, Roxane will have the opportunity to challenge the validity of the ‘432 Patent under certain sections of the Patent Act before the PTAB. We intend to continue to vigorously defend the validity of the ‘432 Patent.

 

ITEM 1A Risk Factors

We previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2016, important factors which could affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and future operations under the heading Risk Factors . Our business, financial condition and operating results can be affected by a number of factors, whether current known or unknown, including but not limited to those described as risk factors, any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause our actual operating results and financial condition to vary materially from past, or anticipated future, operating results and financial condition. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results and the price of our common stock. There have been no material changes in our risk factors subsequent to the filing of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. Upon delivery of such a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product, if any, and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly.

to an adjustment to the fee for Manufacturing in respect of any affected Product solely to compensate it for such increased or decreased Components costs that may be justified by reasonable documentation, provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. For the purposes of this clause (b), changes materially greater than normal forecasted increases or decreases shall be considered to have occurred only if: (i) ****; or (ii) ****. To the extent that Component costs have been previously adjusted pursuant to clause (a) of Section 4.2 or this clause (b) to reflect an increase or decrease in the cost of one or more Components, the adjustments provided for in (i) and (ii) above shall operate based on the costs attributed to such Components at the time the last of such adjustments were made.

In connection with a fee adjustment request pursuant to this Section 4.3, Patheon shall deliver to the Client a revised Schedule B and such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate that an increase or decrease in fee adjustment is justified (and/or upon the reasonable request of Client, such budgetary pricing information or other documentation reasonably sufficient to demonstrate to Client that a decrease in the fee adjustment is not justified), provided that to the extent such documents are subject to obligations of confidentiality between Patheon and its suppliers, Patheon shall make such documents available, subject to the confidentiality obligations provided in this Agreement, to a third party designated by Client and approved by Patheon (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) at Patheon’s facility for the purpose of allowing such third party to confirm that the fee adjustments proposed by Patheon are justified. Upon delivery of such a request, each of the Client and Patheon shall forthwith use all reasonable efforts to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product and Schedule B shall be amended accordingly. If the parties are unable to agree on a revised fee for the Manufacturing in respect of each affected Product within **** after receipt by Client of Patheon’s fee adjustment request, then ****.

In addition, for a period of **** after the termination or expiration of this Agreement (the “Wind-Down Period”), Client may continue to order Manufacturing, and Patheon shall continue to provide Manufacturing in accordance with such orders from Client (if any), in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of termination by Patheon pursuant to Section 8.2(a) due to Client’s failure to pay undisputed amounts, Patheon may require that Client pay such amounts before filling any Firm Orders and may require that Client pre-pay for any Manufacturing provided during the Wind-Down Period. Furthermore, upon reasonable request by Client, Patheon will use commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to discuss with Client and come to an agreement with Client with respect to the terms for the performance of other transition services that are reasonably requested by Client.

Without limiting the foregoing, upon termination of this Agreement by Client pursuant to sections 8.1, 8.2 (a) or (b) or 13.7, Client shall have the right, where applicable, to ****. In such circumstances, Patheon and its affiliates will co-operate, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its approved subcontractors to co-operate, in good faith with Client to ****. Any termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not affect any outstanding obligations or payments due hereunder prior to such termination or expiration, nor shall it prejudice any other remedies that the parties may have under this Agreement. For greater certainty, termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not affect the obligations and responsibilities of the parties pursuant to Articles 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 and Sections 1.1, 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, 7.6 and 7.7, all of which survive any termination.

CONFIDENTIALITY

11.1 Confidentiality .

The provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to all confidential information of the parties under this Agreement, which agreement remains in effect in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to govern the parties’ obligations of confidentiality with respect to any confidential or proprietary information of the parties, for the term of this Agreement and for a period of **** following termination or expiration of this Agreement, except that the parties’ obligations of confidentiality with respect to any confidential or proprietary information of the parties that is a trade secret under applicable law shall survive and continue in effect thereafter, in each case as though such agreement remained in full force and effect.

To the extent that either party reasonably determines that it is required to file a copy of this Agreement to comply with the Disclosure Obligations, such party shall promptly inform the other party thereof. Prior to making any such filing of a copy of this Agreement, the parties shall mutually agree on the provisions of this Agreement for which the parties shall seek confidential treatment, it being understood that if one party determines to seek confidential treatment for a provision for which the other party does not, then the parties will use reasonable efforts in connection with such filing to seek the confidential treatment of any such provision. The parties shall cooperate, each at its own expense, in such filing, including without limitation such confidential treatment request, and shall execute all documents reasonably required in connection therewith. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties will agree as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date on the confidential treatment request to be filed with the SEC and the redacted form of this Agreement related thereto. In furtherance thereof, any redaction reasonably requested by either party shall be included in such filing. The parties will reasonably cooperate in responding promptly to any comments received from the SEC with respect to such filing in an effort to achieve confidential treatment of such redacted form; provided, however, that a party shall be relieved of such obligation to seek confidential treatment for a provision requested by the other party if such treatment is not achieved after the **** round of responses to comments from the SEC.

ARTICLE 12

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

12.1 Commercial Disputes .

In the event of any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than a dispute determined in accordance with Section 6.1(b) or a Technical Dispute), the parties shall first try to solve it amicably. In this regard, any party may send a notice of dispute to the other, and each party shall appoint, within **** from receipt of such notice of dispute, a single representative having full power and authority to solve the dispute. The representatives so designated shall meet as necessary in order to solve such dispute. If these representatives fail to solve the matter within **** from their appointment, or if a party fails to appoint a representative within the **** period set forth above, such dispute shall immediately be referred to the Chief Operating Officer (or such other officer as he/she

 

- 39 -

may designate) of each party who will meet and discuss as necessary in order to try to solve the dispute amicably. Should the parties fail to reach a resolution under this Section 12.1, either party may refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 12.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or unauthorized use or disclosure of a party’s confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property are involved).

12.2 Technical Dispute Resolution .

In the event of a dispute (other than disputes in relation to the matters set out in Sections 6.1(b) and 12.1) between the parties that is exclusively related to technical aspects of the manufacturing, packaging, labelling, quality control testing, handling, storage or other activities under this Agreement (a “ Technical Dispute ”), the parties shall make all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute by amicable negotiations. In this regard, senior representatives of each party shall, as soon as practicable and in any event no later than **** after a written request from either party to the other, meet in good faith to resolve any Technical Dispute. If, despite such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve a Technical Dispute within a reasonable time, and in any event within **** after such written request, the Technical Dispute shall, at the request of either party, be referred for determination to an expert in accordance with the provisions of Schedule F. In the event that the parties cannot agree whether a dispute is a Technical Dispute, Section 12.1 shall prevail. For greater certainty, the parties agree that the release of the Products for sale or distribution pursuant to the applicable marketing approval for such Products shall not by itself indicate compliance by Patheon with its obligations in respect of the Manufacturing and further that nothing in this Agreement (including Schedule F) shall remove or limit the authority of the relevant qualified person (as specified by the Quality Agreement) to determine whether the Products are to be released for sale or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be prohibited from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction (including without limitation, in any case where issues involving the protection or unauthorized use or disclosure of a party’s confidential information, trade secrets or intellectual property are involved).

12.3 Arbitration .

In the event that any dispute cannot be resolved in accordance with Section 12.1, such dispute shall be finally settled by arbitration in **** using the English language in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one or more commercial arbitrator(s) with substantial experience in resolving complex commercial contract disputes, who may or may not be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators. If the parties cannot agree upon the number and identity of the arbitrators within **** following the date on which a party referred the applicable dispute to arbitration, then a single arbitrator shall be selected on an expedited

basis in accordance with the Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS. Any arbitrator so selected shall have substantial experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The arbitrator(s) shall have the authority to grant specific performance and to allocate between the parties the costs of arbitration (including service fees, arbitrator fees and all other fees related to the arbitration) in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may determine. The prevailing party in the arbitration shall be entitled to receive reimbursement of its reasonable expenses (including reasonable lawyers’ fees, expert witness fees and all other expenses) incurred in connection therewith. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in a court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to institute an action in a court of proper jurisdiction for preliminary injunctive relief pending a final decision by the arbitrator(s), provided that a permanent injunction and damages shall only be awarded by the arbitrator(s).

12.4 Dispute and Termination for Breach .

Notwithstanding any statement to the contrary in this Agreement, a non-breaching party shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(a) on account of a disputed breach until the dispute is resolved by mutual agreement or arbitration pursuant to Section 12.3 confirming the existence of the breach.

Exhibit 10.44

AGREEMENT OF SUBLEASE

THIS AGREEMENT OF SUBLEASE (this “ Sublease ”), made as of June 22, 2016, between HUNTON & WILLIAMS LLP, a Virginia registered limited liability partnership (“ Sublessor ”), having an office at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20037, and VANDA PHARMACEUTICALS INC., a Delaware corporation (“ Sublessee ”), having an office at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20037, recites and provides:

RECITALS

Sublessor is the tenant under that certain Lease dated December 18, 2008 (including Rider Number 1 to Lease thereto), as amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Lease dated as of August 16, 2011 and that certain Declaration of Lease Commencement dated as of November 18, 2011, between SQUARE 54 OFFICE OWNER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as landlord (“ Landlord ”), and Sublessor, as tenant, and as further amended by that certain Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated as of December 18, 2008, between Landlord, Sublessor and The George Washington University, a federally chartered nonprofit corporation, as ground lessor (collectively, the “ Lease ”).

Pursuant to the Lease, Sublessor presently leases, in addition to other space, the fifth floor in the East Tower of the building located at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20037 (the “ Building ”), for a term expiring on July 31, 2026 (unless extended or sooner terminated pursuant to the terms of the Lease). The space in the Building leased by Sublessor pursuant to the Lease is referred to herein as the “ Lease Premises ”).

Sublessor now desires to sublease to Sublessee a portion of the Lease Premises on the fifth floor of the East Tower of the Building containing approximately 9,928 rentable square feet, more particularly shown by black, bold highlighting around the perimeter thereof on Exhibit A hereto (the “ Sublease Premises ”), and Sublessee desires to sublease the Sublease Premises from Sublessor, all on the terms set forth below.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows.

1. Demise .

(a) Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease, Sublessor does hereby sublease to Sublessee and Sublessee does hereby sublease from Sublessor the Sublease Premises for the Sublease Term (defined below). The sublease of the Sublease Premises includes the right, together with Sublessor and other tenants of the Building, to use the common and public areas within the Building and the Project (as defined in the Lease) that Sublessor is entitled to use from time to time pursuant to and in accordance with this Sublease and the Lease, which areas at present include, without limitation, the fitness center, the rooftop terrace (including, without limitation, the right to hold “events” on the rooftop terrace in accordance with Section 14.10 of the Lease), loading dock, freight elevator, communication risers and the parking garage (for monthly contract parkers). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall not have any of the rights of Sublessor to install antennas or other equipment on the Building roof pursuant to Article XXVIII of the Lease.


(b) Sublessor agrees that, at no charge, it shall arrange for Sublessee to be provided with forty (40) key fobs which provide access to the Sublease Premises as well as to the fitness center, the rooftop terrace, the parking garage (for monthly contract parkers) and such other common areas that Sublessee is entitled to access pursuant to this Sublease. Any additional or replacement key fobs requested by Sublessee shall be obtained by Sublessee directly from Datawatch at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense. Sublessee shall take appropriate security measures to limit the use of such key fobs to persons authorized by Sublessee, and shall store any unused key fobs in a secure location to prevent their use by unauthorized persons. Sublessee shall notify Datawatch (by telephone at (301) 280-4321 or (800) 899-9872, and by email to Helpdesk@datawatchsystems.com) and Sublessor immediately if it should learn that any of such key fobs are stolen or otherwise cannot be accounted for. At the end of the Sublease Term, Sublessee shall return all of such key fobs to Sublessor, and if any of such key fobs are missing or not operational, Sublessee shall pay any replacement fees charged by Landlord.

(c) Prior to the November 1, 2016, Sublessor will, at its expense, create a multitenant corridor on the 5 th Floor, as more particularly shown on Exhibit A (“Sublessor’s Work”) and upon completion of Sublessor’s Work the Sublease Premises shall be made available to Sublessee.

2. Sublease Term .

(a) The term of this Sublease will commence on the Commencement Date and end on July 31, 2026 (the “ Sublease Term ”). The “ Commencement Date ” shall be January 1, 2017. Sublessee shall be entitled to take possession of the Sublease Premises on the later of (i) October 1, 2016, or (ii) thirty (30) days following approval from Landlord of the Sublease. On or before the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall have delivered to Sublessor the Security Deposit (defined below) and the Base Rent (defined below) for the first full month of the Sublease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if completion of Sublessee Improvements is delayed beyond January 1, 2017, after Sublessee used all reasonable efforts to complete same in accordance with this Sublease, due to failure of Sublessor to review and approve Plans and Specifications or contractors, as and when required in Sections 15(b) and (c) below, the Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each day of delay. If the Sublease Premises have not been delivered to Sublessee with Sublessor’s Work completed by November 1, 2016, Sublessee may terminate this Sublease.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, the termination or expiration of the Lease for any reason shall automatically result in the termination of this Sublease immediately upon any such termination or expiration of the Lease, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the obligations of the parties hereunder to be performed from and after such termination or expiration shall cease as of the date of such expiration or termination of the Lease. Sublessor shall in no event be liable to Sublessee for any loss or damage occasioned by, or resulting from, the expiration or termination of the Lease unless the Lease is terminated by the Landlord as a direct result of any default by Sublessor under any provision of the Lease that Sublessee is either not obligated to perform pursuant to this Sublease or is obligated to perform pursuant to this Sublease but Sublessor’s default is not due to the nonperformance of such provision by Sublessee. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, should Sublessor terminate the Lease for any reason, other than as a result of casualty or eminent domain, and such termination results in the termination of this Sublease and whether or not any direct lease is entered into between Sublessee and Landlord, then Sublessor shall be obligated to pay to Sublessee a sum equal to any Base Rent not abated under Section 3(b) and Allowance under Section 15(a) remaining unpaid due to any such early termination, as Sublessee’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder.

(a) In addition to any insurance required by the Lease, Sublessee shall obtain, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, and maintain during the Sublease Term, the following insurance coverage: (i) a general liability insurance policy with a combined property damage, bodily injury and death liability limit or combination thereof of at least $5,000,000, which policy shall be primary and non-contributing as to claims relating to injury or damage that occurs within the Sublease Premises, and (ii) a property insurance policy covering all office furniture, business and trade fixtures, office equipment, movable partitions, merchandise and all other items of Sublessee’s property in the Sublease Premises, and Sublessee’s Improvements (such insurance shall be written on an “all risks” of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value new without deduction for depreciation of the covered items and in amounts that meet any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance, and shall include coverage for damage or other loss caused by fire or other peril, including vandalism and malicious mischief, theft, water damage of any type, including sprinkler leakage, bursting or stoppage of pipes, and explosion. Sublessee shall deliver a certificate of such insurance coverage including coverage required by the Lease), in the form required by the Lease, to Sublessor contemporaneously with Sublessee’s execution of this Sublease, and shall from time to time thereafter deliver renewal certificates to Sublessor prior to the expiration of such insurance coverage. The company or companies writing such insurance, as well as the form of such insurance, shall at all times be subject to the Landlord’s approval in accordance with the provisions of the Lease and Sublessor’s reasonable approval and any such company or companies shall be licensed to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Sublease Premises are located. In addition to any others required by the Lease, the Landlord and Sublessor shall be named as additional insureds on all general liability insurance policies and as loss payee on all property insurance policies Sublessee is required to maintain hereunder, which policies shall contain provisions that they cannot be canceled except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all additional insureds.

(b) Sublessee hereby releases the Landlord, Sublessor, and any superior mortgagee or superior lessor from any and all liability or responsibility (to Sublessee or anyone claiming through or under Sublessee by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage to real or personal property in or around the Sublease Premises caused by fire or any other insured peril, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the released party or anyone for whom such

 

-5-


party may be responsible, to the extent such loss or damage is covered by insurance policies actually maintained by Sublessee or which would have been covered by the policies required hereunder to be maintained by Sublessee. Sublessee shall procure insurance policies with such a waiver of subrogation and with a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Sublessor hereby releases Sublessee from any and all liability or responsibility (to Sublessor or anyone claiming through or under Sublessor by way of subrogation or otherwise) for any loss or damage to real or personal property in or around the Sublease Premises caused by fire or any other insured peril, even if such fire or other casualty shall have been caused by the fault or negligence of the released party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible, to the extent such loss or damage is covered by insurance policies actually maintained by Sublessor or required to be maintained by Sublessor under the Lease. Sublessor shall procure insurance policies with such a waiver of subrogation and with a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder.

(c) In the event of fire or other casualty affecting all of any part of the Building, if Landlord or Sublessor shall elect to terminate the Lease in accordance with the provisions of Article XVII thereof, then this Sublease automatically shall terminate as of the date the Lease is terminated. In the event of a fire or other casualty affecting the Sublease Premises, then (i) except as otherwise provided below, Sublessee shall be required to repair and restore, but only to the extent of the proceeds of the insurance actually maintained by Sublessee or required to be maintained by Sublessee under this Sublease, and any deductible thereunder, all of Sublessee’s Improvements and all decorations, trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property in the Sublease Premises (including, without limitation, the furnishings and equipment provided by Sublessor for Sublessee’s use pursuant to Section 16 hereof) (the “ Sublessee Repair Obligation ”) and (ii) Landlord and Sublessor shall have the respective repair obligations set forth in Article XVII of the Lease, except that Sublessor shall not have any responsibility for the work included within the Sublessee Repair Option.. If a fire or other casualty occurs in respect of all or any part of the Building, Sublessor will provide to Sublessee a copy of the “Restoration Notice” that Landlord is required to provide to Sublessor pursuant to Section 17.1(b) of the Lease promptly after Sublessor’s receipt of same. If such fire or other casualty affects the Sublease Premises, and (x) either (1) such Restoration Notice states that the “Estimated Restoration Date” is more than 60 days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, (2) the casualty is of a nature that will not reasonably allow Sublessee (or Sublessor, if Sublessor so elects as provided above in this Section 5(c)) to complete the Sublessee Repair Obligation and, taking into account the repairs that Landlord and Sublessor need to make, be able to recommence normal business operations in the Sublease Premises within 90 days after the occurrence of such fire or casualty, or (3) such fire or other casualty occurs within the last year of the Sublease Term, and (y) in either case if such fire or casualty was not caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee or any affiliate of Sublessee, any permitted subtenant or any other permitted occupant of the Sublease Premises, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, servants, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, invitees or representatives (each a “ Sublessee Party ”), and (z) if no default on the part of Sublessee is then existing, then Sublessee shall be entitled to terminate this Sublease, effective as of the date of such fire or other casualty, by giving written notice of termination to Sublessor within forty-five (45) days after Sublessor provides to Sublessee a copy of Landlord’s Restoration Notice. If Sublessee so elects to terminate this Sublease, Sublessee shall remain liable for all of its obligations and liabilities under this Sublease accruing up through the date of such termination, except that Sublessee shall be entitled to its set-off and abatement rights under Section 3(d) and Sublessee shall not be required to perform the Sublessee Repair Obligation so long as Sublessee assigns to Sublessor the proceeds of Sublessee’s property insurance in respect of such fire or other casualty actually maintained by Sublessee or required to be maintained by Sublessee under this Sublease, and pays to Sublessor the amount of any deductible under such insurance.

6. Compliance with Lease .

(a) Sublessor covenants that it shall comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease in all material respects. Sublessee acknowledges that it has read and examined a redacted copy of the Lease and (except for the provisions thereof which were redacted) is fully familiar with the terms, covenants and conditions on the Sublessor’s part to be performed thereunder, and Sublessor and Sublessee agree that except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, all of the unredacted terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease which relate to the Sublease Premises, the use thereof, the conduct of the Sublessor’s activities or operations therein or in the common areas of the Building or the Project are incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in length and are hereby assumed by Sublessee and shall be applicable to this Sublease with the same force and effect as if Sublessor were the lessor under the Lease and Sublessee were the lessee thereunder, with the exception that (i) Sublessee shall only pay Base Rent and Additional Rent to Sublessor in such amounts and on such dates as are provided in this Sublease; (ii) the Sublease Term is as set forth herein and references to the “Lease Term” in the Lease shall be considered references to the Sublease Term; (iii) references to the “Premises” in the Lease shall be considered references to the Sublease Premises herein and references to the “Lease Commencement Date” in the Lease shall be considered references to the Commencement Date hereunder; (iv) Sublessee shall have no right to renew, extend or terminate the Sublease Term except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, or to expand or contract the Sublease Premises except as expressly set forth in this Sublease; (v) the Sublease Premises are being subleased to Sublessee in their “as is” condition and Sublessor shall have no obligation to make or contribute to the costs of any alterations to prepare the same for occupancy by Sublessee (other than the performance of Sublessor’s Work); (vi) Sublessee shall not be entitled to receive any allowances or rent abatements provided for in the Lease except as provided in Section 3(d) above; (vii) Sublessor shall not be liable for performing any of the obligations of the Landlord; (viii) references in the Lease to the expiration or sooner termination of the term of the Lease shall be deemed to refer instead to the expiration or sooner termination of the Sublease Term (except that the reference to the last 24 months of the Lease Term provided in Section 12.1 of the Lease shall not be deemed to refer to the last 24 months of the Sublease Term and instead shall mean and refer to the last six (6) months of the Sublease Term); (ix) Sublessee shall not be responsible to comply with any provisions of the Lease which were redacted and those provisions are not incorporated herein; and (x) the provisions which are expressly excluded as provided in Section 6(b) below shall not be a part of this Sublease. Sublessee shall have no liability under this Sublease for any Hazardous Materials brought onto the Project by Landlord or Sublessor.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease to the contrary, the following provisions of the Lease shall not be part of this Sublease: (i) any provisions for the construction of any improvements to the Premises made by Landlord for Sublessor; (ii) any provision pursuant to which Sublessor is entitled to renew the Lease; (iii) any provision of the Lease that is personal to Sublessor or not applicable to any assignees or sublessees of Sublessor; (iv) any provisions relating to Sublessor’s right to make use of the Building roof (other than Sublessor’s right to use the rooftop terrace as provided for in Section 1(a) above); (v) any provisions granting to Sublessor any Building exterior or monument signage; (vi) any provisions relating to storage areas outside the Lease Premises used by Sublessor; (vii) the casualty (damage or destruction) provisions which conflict with Section 5(c) above; (viii) the security deposit and tenant improvement allowance provisions; (ix) the provisions of Section 7.4 (Business Invitees) of the Lease; and (x) the following provisions shall not apply to this Sublease: Article II, Article IV, Section 5.1 (other than Section 5.1(b)), Section 9.1, Section 10.1(d), Section 14.8, the provisions of Section 14.10 which relate to Personal Terraces (as defined in the Lease), the first sentence of Section 15.5, Section 25.3, Section 25.6, any provisions of Article XXV after Section 25.27, Articles XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX, Rider No. 1, and Exhibit F.

-7-


Sublessor shall in no event be liable to Sublessee for any loss or damage occasioned by or resulting from any elections made or consents given by Sublessor as lessee under the Lease. In no event shall Sublessor be deemed to have made any of the certifications, representations, warranties or indemnifications made by the Landlord under the Lease.

7. Use .

(b) Sublessee shall promptly provide Sublessor with notice of any change in the name of Sublessee.

8. Indemnity .

(a) Sublessee agrees to indemnify Sublessor in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1 of the Lease, as incorporated herein pursuant to Section 7(a) above, which terms Sublessee agrees shall apply to Sublessee’s construction of the Sublessee Improvements. Sublessee agrees that this Sublease is separate from and subordinate in all respects to the Lease and to any agreement to which the Lease is subject. In the event a default shall occur on the part of Sublessee and shall be continuing, then Sublessor shall have the same rights and remedies with respect to such default as are given to Landlord with respect to defaults by Sublessor after the notice and applicable cure periods under this Sublease (shortened by three days as provided in Section 17 below), all with the same force and effect as though the provisions of the Lease with respect to defaults, and the rights and remedies of Landlord in the event thereof, were set forth at length herein. Sublessee acknowledges that if any default by Sublessee under this Sublease or the provisions of the Lease incorporated herein results in Landlord’s termination of any rights of Sublessor under the Lease that are conditioned on the absence of default by Sublessor under the Lease, then Sublessor’s damages shall include, without limitation, all of Sublessor’s damages for loss of such rights. Any conflicts between the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease and the Lease shall be resolved in favor of this Sublease provided they are not prohibited by the express terms of the Lease.

(b) Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee for any damage to property or bodily injury incurred by Sublessee except to the extent of the terms of Section 13.2 of the Lease.

9. Sublessor’s Option to Perform . If a default on the part of Sublessee shall occur under this Sublease, Sublessor, without thereby waiving such default, may, at Sublessor’s option, after 10 days’ notice to Sublessee, perform the same for the account of Sublessee. If Sublessor makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including attorneys’ fees and related costs, in connection with curing Sublessee’s default, instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, by reason of any default of Sublessee hereunder, such sums paid or obligations incurred, with interest thereon at the rate of 1.5% per month, shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor as Additional Rent within five days of rendition of any bill or statement to Sublessee therefor.

10. Obligations of Landlord . So long as a default on the part of Sublessee shall not be continuing, Sublessee shall be entitled to receive all services to be rendered to Sublessor under the Lease insofar as such services pertain to the Sublease Premises or to the Sublessor’s use thereof or the conduct of the activities or operations therein or in the common areas of the Building and shall be entitled to the

 

-8-


benefit of all rights to be afforded to Sublessor under the Lease insofar as such rights pertain to the Sublease Premises or to the use thereof or the conduct of the activities or operations therein or in the common areas of the Building. Except as otherwise specified herein (e.g., with respect to the fact that Sublessee shall not be responsible for paying for “Operating Expenses” under the Lease), Sublessee shall be responsible for all charges relating thereto as provided in the Lease. Sublessor shall in good faith cooperate and coordinate with Sublessee and Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, in using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Landlord’s performance under the Lease should Sublessee provide notice to Sublessor of any deficiency or default by Landlord, except that Sublessor shall not be required to commence any legal proceedings or arbitration or terminate the Lease. Sublessor shall have no liability of any nature whatsoever to Sublessee for Landlord’s failure to perform or render such services, and shall look solely to Landlord for all such services and shall not, under any circumstances, seek nor require Sublessor to perform any of such services, nor shall Sublessee seek to recover on any claim against Sublessor or sue Sublessor for any damages which may arise by reason of Landlord’s default under the Lease (including, without limitation, Landlord’s breach of a covenant of quiet enjoyment), or Landlord’s negligence, whether by omission or commission. No such default of Landlord shall excuse Sublessee from the performance of any of its obligations to be performed under this Sublease or entitle Sublessee to terminate this Sublease or to reduce or abate or offset any of the rents provided for in this Sublease except to the extent that Sublessor is entitled to exercise such rights under the Lease as a result of such default by Landlord.

11. Attornment .

(a) Sublessee agrees that if, by reason of default on the part of Sublessor under the Lease, Landlord or any successor-in-interest to Landlord shall request that Sublessee attorn to it as the direct tenant of Landlord or such successor-in-interest under the terms and provisions of this Sublease, then Sublessee shall attorn to Landlord or such successor-in-interest as its landlord as the direct tenant of Landlord or such successor-in-interest under the terms and provisions of this Sublease; in such event, Landlord or such successor-in-interest shall not be liable to Sublessee for any defaults theretofore committed by Sublessor and no such default shall give rise to any rights of offset or deduction against the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Sublease.

(b) The provisions for attornment set forth above shall be self-operative and shall not require the execution of any further instrument. However, if Landlord or any such successor-in-interest requests a further instrument expressing such attornment, Sublessee agrees to execute the same promptly.

12. Consent to Sublease . Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease is a condition precedent to the effectiveness hereof. If such consent is not received within sixty (60) days after the date of this Sublease, then this Sublease will terminate and be of no further force and effect. In such event, neither party shall have any rights against, or obligations to the other, except (i) those set forth in any provisions of this Sublease that expressly survive termination of this Sublease, and (ii) that Sublessor shall return all monies deposited hereunder (including, without limitation, any advance Base Rent and the Security Deposit).

13. Brokers . Sublessee covenants, warrants and represents to Sublessor that it has not dealt with, or had any conversations or prior discussions with, any broker, finder or similar person in connection with the subleasing of the Sublease Premises except Savills Studley (the “ Sublessee’s Broker ”) and Jones Lang LaSalle Brokerage, Inc. (“ Sublessor’s Broker ,” and together with Sublessee’s Broker, the “ Brokers ”), and to its actual knowledge (i) there is no broker, finder or similar person other than the Brokers who is entitled to claim a commission, fee or other compensation in connection with this Sublease, and (ii) there is no other broker, finder or similar person who was instrumental in consummating this Sublease. Sublessor shall pay a commission to each of the Brokers pursuant to

 

-9-


separate agreements with each of the Brokers. Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless against and from all costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising from any claims for brokerage commissions, finder’s fees or other compensation if the foregoing covenant, warranty and representation is untrue in any material respect. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

14. Condition of Sublease Premises . Subject to Sublessor completing Sublessor’s Work, Sublessee shall accept the Sublease Premises in their current “as-is” condition. Sublessee acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, neither Sublessor, nor Sublessor’s agents, have made any representations or warranties in regard to the Sublease Premises. The taking of possession of the Sublease Premises by Sublessee shall be conclusive evidence that Sublessee accepts the same “as-is” and that the Sublease Premises were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was taken.

15. Allowance; Sublessee Improvements .

(a) Sublessor shall provide a tenant improvement allowance of up to $99,280.00 (the “ Allowance ”) to be used by Sublessee for tenant improvements (both hard and soft costs), telephone and data cabling, furniture, fixturing, interior suite signage and moving expenses incurred within one year (except as otherwise set forth below) after the Commencement Date (the “ Sublessee Improvements ”). Sublessor shall fund the Allowance to Sublessee on a monthly basis, based on invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other back-up documentation provided by Sublessee and reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor. Except as otherwise set forth below, to the extent that the total cost of the Sublessee Improvements exceeds the Allowance, Sublessee shall pay the full amount of the excess. Any portion of the Sublessee Improvement costs that has not been incurred within one year after the Commencement Date shall not be available for disbursement to Sublessee and shall be retained by Sublessor without any change in the other terms of this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a default occurs and Sublessee fails to cure such default as permitted hereunder, then Sublessor shall have no further obligation to provide the Allowance.

(b) Prior to commencing work on the Sublessee Improvements, Sublessee shall engage SKB Architects to prepare plans and specifications and a schedule for the completion of the Sublessee Improvements (the “ Plans and Specifications ”). The Plans and Specifications shall be prepared at Sublessee’s expense (although subject to reimbursement from the Allowance) and submitted to Sublessor for its approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) and the approval of Landlord pursuant to the Lease (to the extent Landlord’s consent is required under the Lease). Sublessor shall use all reasonable efforts to review and either approve or request changes to the Plans and Specifications within 10 business days after receiving them from Sublessor, and shall cooperate with Sublessee to obtain Landlord’s approval or requested changes as soon as reasonably practical.

(c) Sublessee shall obtain at its expense (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance) all licenses, permits and approvals for the Sublessee Improvements. Sublessee shall engage a contractor reasonably approved by Sublessor (and Landlord, if required by the Lease), to perform the work needed to construct the Sublessee Improvements in accordance with the Plans and Specifications approved by Landlord and Sublessor and the Building Code. Sublessee shall be responsible for the cost of all permits, inspections, occupancy permits and corrective work that may be required by the applicable building inspectors (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance).

(d) Intentionally Deleted.

(e) All of the Sublessee Improvements shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, including the provisions thereof regarding any obligation to remove such

 

-10-


improvements at the end of the Lease Term. Sublessor shall cooperate with Sublessee to ascertain from Landlord, prior to construction of the Sublessee Improvements, whether any of the Sublessee Improvements will need to be removed at the end of the Lease Term, but Sublessee shall be responsible for removing any of the Sublessee Improvements at the end of the Sublease Term, at Sublessee’s expense, if required by Landlord pursuant to the Lease. Should the Landlord charge any fees or costs on account of Sublessee’s work, Sublessee shall pay Landlord for such amounts, or reimburse Sublessor for any such amounts paid by Sublessor (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance). If any of the Sublessee Improvements involve supplying greater capacities or different types of electricity or other utilities to the Sublease Premises, Sublessee shall be solely liable for paying for all costs of installing (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance) and consuming same.

(f) Except for the Sublessee Improvements, Sublessee shall not make any alterations, additions, improvements or renovations to or affecting the Sublease Premises without the prior written consent of the Sublessor (which consent of Sublessor shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Landlord (to the extent Landlord’s consent is required under the Lease). Any such alterations, additions, improvements or renovations approved by Sublessor and the Landlord (to the extent Landlord’s consent is required under the Lease) shall be constructed, maintained and removed (if required by Landlord pursuant to the Lease) by Sublessee at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense and in accordance with the requirements of the Lease. In addition, if any such alterations, additions, improvements or renovations involve supplying greater capacities or different types of electricity or other utilities to the Sublease Premises, Sublessee shall be solely liable for paying for all costs of installing and consuming same. The contractor that Sublessee uses for any construction or tenant improvements work in the Sublease Premises shall be subject to Sublessor’s reasonable approval and to Landlord’s approval (if required under the Lease) in accordance with the Lease. Notwithstanding anything in Sections 15(e) or (f) to the contrary, if Landlord does not require removal of Sublessee Improvements or Sublessee’s other approved alterations, additions, improvements or renovations, then Sublessor shall likewise not require removal of same.

16. Furniture . Sublessor shall leave in the Sublease Premises in its current as-is condition a portion of the furniture and equipment that are presently located in the Sublease Premises. Sublessor and Sublessee shall agree on an inventory of such portion of the furniture and equipment that is to remain in the Sublease Premises, which Sublessee shall approve and execute on or prior to the Commencement Date and all such portion of the furniture and equipment will thereafter become the personal property of Sublessee. Sublessee shall remove all such portion of the furniture and equipment in the Sublease Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease.

17. Default . Notwithstanding anything contained in any provision of this Sublease to the contrary, Sublessee agrees, with respect to the Sublease Premises, to comply with and remedy any default claimed by Landlord under the Lease and caused by any act or omission of Sublessee, within the period allowed to Sublessor as tenant under the Lease minus three days (the “ Sublessee Cure Period ”), even if such time period is shorter than the period otherwise allowed in the Lease due to the fact that notice of default from Sublessor to Sublessee is given after the corresponding notice of default from Landlord to Sublessor as tenant under the Lease. Sublessor agrees to forward to Sublessee, promptly upon receipt thereof by Sublessor, a copy of each notice of default received by Sublessor in its capacity as tenant under the Lease. Sublessee agrees to forward to Sublessor, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices received by Sublessee with respect to the Sublease Premises from Landlord or from any governmental authorities. In no event shall Sublessee be deemed to have a cure period under this Sublease that is longer than any corresponding cure period in the Lease.

 

-11-


18. Security Deposit .

(a) Sublessee shall provide to Sublessor at execution of the Sublease a security deposit in the amount of $97,625.32 (the “ Security Deposit ”).

(b) The Security Deposit shall be held by Sublessor, without liability for interest, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Sublessee of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease. The Security Deposit shall not be considered advance rent or a limit on Sublessee’s liability for any breach of this Sublease or any indemnity obligation. In the event of a default by Sublessee in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent, Sublessor may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any Base Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Sublessee is in default or for any sum which Sublessor may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Sublessee’s default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the re-letting of the Sublease Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublessor. To the extent that Sublessor shall apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit as provided above and this Sublease has not been terminated, Sublessee shall, within five business days after written demand by Sublessor, pay to Sublessor a sum sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount required by this Section 18, and Sublessee’s failure to pay such amount within such time shall constitute a default under this Sublease, in respect of which Sublessor shall be entitled to exercise all of its right and remedies for nonpayment of Base Rent. In the event that Sublessee shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Sublessee after the date fixed as the end of the Sublease and after delivery of entire possession of the Sublease Premises to Sublessor in the condition required by this Sublease. In the event of an assignment of Sublessor’s leasehold interest in the Sublease Premises, Sublessor shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the assignee and Sublessor shall thereupon be released by Sublessee from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit, and Sublessee agrees to look to the new Sublessor solely for the return of the Security Deposit; and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Sublessor. Sublessee further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security and that neither Sublessor nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

19. Letter of Credit .

(a) At Sublessee’s election, in lieu of the cash Security Deposit required by Section 18 of this Sublease, Sublessee may deliver to Sublessor with Sublessee’s execution and delivery of this Sublease an irrevocable letter of credit payable in either Washington, D.C. or New York City in the amount of the Security Deposit, issued for the benefit of the Sublessor by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor (the “ Issuing Bank ”); provided, however, if such letter of credit provides that draws thereunder may be submitted to the Issuing Bank by fax without the requirement to submit the original of credit or the imposition of any requirements that would make the submission of such draws materially more difficult than an in-person submission in Washington, D.C., then such letter of credit may provide that in-person submission of draws thereunder may be made in Scranton, Pennsylvania or Tampa, Florida. If, during the Sublease Term, the Issuing Bank enters into any form of regulatory or governmental receivership or other similar regulatory or governmental proceeding including, without limitation, any receivership instituted or commenced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or is otherwise declared insolvent or downgraded by the FDIC or put on an FDIC “watchlist,” or if the financial condition of the Issuing Bank changes in any other materially adverse way, as reasonably determined by Sublessor, then Sublessee shall within 10 days after written notice from Sublessor deliver

 

-12-


to Sublessor a replacement letter of credit which meets the requirements of this Section 19 and issued by a new Issuing Bank reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor. Sublessee’s failure to do so within 10 days after written request of Sublessor will constitute a default for which there will be no notice or cure period, and will give Sublessor the immediate right, without further notice to Sublessee, to draw upon such letter of credit. If Sublessee replaces such letter of credit pursuant to the foregoing, Sublessor will, within 10 days after Sublessor’s receipt of the replacement letter of credit, deliver to Sublessee the letter of credit so replaced. Each letter of credit will be irrevocable for the term of such letter of credit and will provide that it is automatically renewable for a period ending not earlier than 60 days after the expiration of the Sublease Term (the “ Final L/C Expiration Date ”) without any action whatsoever on the part of Sublessor. However, the Issuing Bank will have the right not to renew said letter of credit on written notice to Sublessor given not less than 60 days before the expiration of the then current term thereof (it being understood, however, that the privilege of the Issuing Bank not to renew said letter of credit will not, in any event, diminish the obligation of Sublessee to maintain such irrevocable letter of credit with Landlord through the date which is 60 days after the expiration of the Sublease Term). Sublessee must be the applicant of the letter of credit.

(b) The letter of credit must be issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor, must be in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and must provide, among other things, in effect that:

(i) Sublessor will have the right to draw down an amount up to the face amount of the letter of credit upon the presentation to the Issuing Bank of Sublessor’s sight draft;

(ii) The letter of credit will be honored by the Issuing Bank within one business day after presentment;

(iii) In the event of a transfer of Sublessor’s leasehold interest in the Lease Premises, Sublessor will have the right to transfer the letter of credit to the transferee without the payment of any transfer fees, and thereupon the Sublessor will, without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Sublessee from all liability therefor, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment of said letter of credit to a new Sublessor; and

(iv) If the expiration date of the letter of credit is a day on which the issuer’s offices are closed, the expiration date shall automatically be extended pursuant to Section 3.13 or Section 3.14 of International Standby Practices ISP98 (International Chamber of Commerce Publication no. 590).

(c) Sublessor may draw upon the letter of credit at any time and from time to time if:

(i) Sublessee has failed to fulfill one or more of its obligations under this Sublease and failed to cure the same within any applicable notice and cure period, in which case Sublessor shall not draw more than the amount that Sublessor is entitled to apply from the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 18 above; or

(ii) the letter of credit held by Sublessor will expire earlier than the Final L/C Expiration Date (whether by reason of a stated expiration date or a notice of termination or non-renewal given by the Issuing Bank), and Sublessee fails to deliver to Sublessor, at least 10 days prior to the expiration date of the letter of credit then held by Sublessor, a renewal or substitute letter of credit that is in effect and that complies with the requirements of this Section 19.

 

-13-


(d) If, as a result of any such application of all or any part of the Security Deposit, the amount available to be drawn under the letter of credit is less than the amount of the required Security Deposit as set forth in Section 18, Sublessee will forthwith provide Sublessor with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency.

(e) Sublessee further covenants that it will not assign or encumber said letter of credit or any part thereof and that neither Sublessor nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the letter of credit expires earlier than 60 days after the expiration of the Sublease Term, or the Issuing Bank notifies Sublessor that it will not renew the letter of credit, Sublessor will accept a renewal thereof or substitute letter of credit (such renewal or substitute letter of credit to be in effect not later than 10 days prior to the expiration thereof), irrevocable and automatically renewable as above provided to the Final L/C Expiration Date upon the same terms as the expiring letter of credit or such other terms as may be acceptable to Sublessor. However, if the letter of credit is not timely renewed or a substitute letter of credit is not timely received, Sublessor may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of Section 19(c), and the entire sum secured thereby will be paid to Sublessor, to be held by Sublessor as provided in this Section 19 and as provided in Section 18 above. If Sublessee fails to maintain the letter of credit in the amount and terms set forth in this Section 19, Sublessee must immediately deposit with Sublessor a replacement letter of credit complying with the requirements of this Section 19, failing which the Sublessor may present such letter of credit to the bank, in accordance with the terms of this Section 19, and the entire sum secured thereby will be paid to Sublessor, to be held by Sublessor as provided in this Section 19 and Section 18.

20. Notices . All notices required by, or provided in connection with, this Sublease shall be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized overnight delivery service, or by personal delivery, to the Sublessor at its address in the preamble of this Sublease, to the attention of “Office Managing Partner,” with a copy to Sublessor at Hunton & Williams LLP, 951 East Byrd Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, Att’n: Chief Administrative Officer, and to Sublessee at 2200 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20037, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Sublessee at the Sublease Premises, Attn: Legal Department.

Any notice sent in the manner provided herein shall be deemed to be received three days after posting certified mail with the U.S. Postal Service, or the business day after delivery of such notice to such overnight delivery service, or upon personal delivery. Refusal to accept delivery shall constitute receipt of any such notice.

21. Holdover . In the event Sublessee, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Sublessee, remains in possession of the Sublease Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease without the execution of a new sublease or a direct lease with Landlord, (i) Sublessor shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies which are available to a landlord against a tenant holding over after the expiration of a term, at law and in equity, and to such other rights and remedies as may be provided for the Landlord in the Lease or the Sublessor in this Sublease, and (ii) Sublessee, at the option of Sublessor, shall be deemed to be occupying the Sublease Premises as a tenant from month to month, at a monthly rental equal to 150% of the Base Rent that was payable for the last month of the Sublease Term, plus the Additional Rent payable hereunder, subject to all of the other terms of this Sublease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

The provisions of the Lease notwithstanding, and in addition thereto, with respect to any provision of this Sublease which provides, in effect, that Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold or unreasonably delay any consent or any approval, Sublessee shall, in no event, be entitled to make, nor shall Sublessee claim any money damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense, based upon any claim or assertion by Sublessee that Sublessor has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval if such withholding or delay is due to the action or inaction of Landlord, in which case, Sublessee’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.

23. Costs . Whenever Sublessee requests the consent or approval of Sublessor under this Sublease, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, all reasonable costs assessed by Landlord against Sublessor resulting therefrom.

In all events, Sublessee shall comply with the provisions of Article VII (Assignment and Subletting) of the Lease, and any event or transaction that requires the consent of the Landlord under the Lease shall require the consent of the Sublessor under this Sublease (which consent by Sublessor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Notwithstanding the forgoing, but subject to the provisions of the Lease, Sublessor’s consent shall not be required for Sublessee’s assignment of this Sublease to a successor by merger, or the purchaser of the stock or substantially all of the assets of Sublessee or to an affiliate or subsidiary of Sublessee. In the event of a sublease or an assignment by Sublessee that does not require Sublessor’s consent, Sublessee shall provide to Sublessor written notice of such sublease or assignment.

Sublessee, at Sublessee’s cost and in coordination with Sublessor, shall have the right to install one suite entry sign for the Sublease Premises in the 5 th Floor elevator lobby subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Lease.

-16-


30. Expansion Rights .

(a) Sublessee shall have a one-time right of first offer to lease any space on the 5 th Floor contiguous to the Sublease Premises that becomes available during the Sublease Term (the “ROFO Space”). The ROFO Space shall be subject and subordinate to all existing renewal and expansion rights granted to existing tenants on the 5 th Floor of the East Tower and to any need Sublessor shall have for the ROFO Space. The ROFO Space will not be available unless (i) Sublessee has not been in default beyond any applicable grace or cure period under the Sublease within the twelve (12) month period immediately prior to the ROFO notification, and (iii) Sublessee is occupying at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Sublease Premises.

(b) When Sublessor determines the date the ROFO Space will be or is available, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee in writing, informing Sublessee of the anticipated delivery date for the ROFO Space (the “ROFO Notice”). Sublessee shall have ten (10) business days to elect to exercise its option to lease the ROFO Space by written notice to Sublessor, which election shall be binding on Sublessee. After the ROFO Notice has been provided to Sublessee, and either accepted or declined by Sublessee, Sublessee thereafter shall no longer have any right of first offer to any space on the 5 th Floor. Upon receipt of Sublessee’s written notice exercising its option to lease the ROFO Space, Sublessor and Sublessee shall have thirty (30) days to negotiate mutually acceptable business terms for the sublease of the ROFO Space. The rental terms for any ROFO Space shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the then prevailing “Fair Market Rental Rate” (as defined below) for comparable space in comparable buildings taking into account all relevant factors. The parties agree that there shall be no Tenant Improvement Allowance provided to Sublessee by Sublessor for the ROFO Space.

(c) “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean Sublessor’s good faith determination of the per square foot rental rate a typical office tenant in a first-class office building of similar location, age, quality and condition to the Building in the Washington, D.C. submarket (the “ Submarket ”) would, at that time, pay for the ROFO Space or space comparable thereto, including lease concessions, free rent, tenant improvement allowances and other incentives then being offered by landlords to office tenants at similar office buildings in the Submarket (subject to being equitably adjusted to reflect variations in circumstances and other appropriate factors). Sublessor shall communicate its determination of Fair Market Rental Rate, made in its sole discretion but in good faith as aforesaid, to Sublessee as soon as practicable, but not later than fifteen (15) days after Sublessee delivers notice of its intention to exercise the option to lease the ROFO Space. If such rate is agreed upon by Sublessee, then the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be equal to such rate and shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Should Sublessee disagree with Sublessor’s determination of Fair Market Rental Rate, then Sublessee shall notify Sublessor of such disagreement within ten (10) business days after its receipt of Sublessor’s determination. The Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises shall then be determined by a board of three (3) licensed commercial real estate brokers, one of whom shall be named by the Sublessor, one of whom shall be named by Sublessee, and the two so appointed shall select a third. Each real estate broker so selected shall be licensed in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located as a real estate broker specializing in the field of commercial office leasing in the Washington, D.C. Submarket, having no less than ten (10) years’ experience in such field, and recognized as ethical and reputable within the field. Sublessor and Sublessee agree to make their appointments promptly within ten (10) days after Sublessor’s receipt of Sublessee’s notice of such disagreement, or sooner if mutually agreed upon. The two (2) brokers selected by Sublessor and Sublessee shall promptly select a third broker within ten (10) days after they both have been appointed, and each broker, within fifteen (15) days after the third broker is selected, shall submit his or her determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate. The Fair Market Rental Rate shall be the mean of the two closest rental rate determinations. Sublessor and Sublessee shall each pay the fee of the broker selected by it, and they shall share equally the payment of the fee of the third broker.

 

-17-


(d) The ROFO Space premises shall be delivered in its then “as-is” condition with a rent free period of up to ninety (90) days for the purpose of constructing any improvements to the ROFO Space premises.

(e) The right of first offer set forth in this Section 30, shall be personal to Sublessee only, and shall not be transferrable to any assignee or sublessee, even if permitted hereunder.

31. Miscellaneous Provisions .

(a) Headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be construed to limit or extend the meaning of any provision of this Sublease.

(b) The provisions of this Sublease are severable and, if any clause or provision shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision or part thereof in such jurisdiction and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction or any other clause or provision of this Sublease in any jurisdiction.

(c) This Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Sublease Premises are located, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

(f) The provisions of this Sublease shall extend to and shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, personal representatives, and permitted successors and assigns. If Sublessor transfers its estate in the Sublease Premises, Sublessor shall thereafter be relieved of all obligations of Sublessor expressed in this Sublease or implied by law, except those arising out of a breach or default by Sublessor prior to such transfer.

(g) One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by Sublessor shall not be construed as a waiver of a further breach of the same or other covenant or condition, and any consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Sublessor’s consent or approval to any subsequent similar action. Sublessor’s acceptance of Base Rent or Additional Rent during the continuance of any breach of this Sublease shall not constitute a waiver of such breach. Any payment by Sublessee of a lesser amount of Base Rent or Additional Rent than is due shall be applied to such arrearage as Sublessor may designate irrespective of any contrary designation by Sublessee and Sublessor’s acceptance of any such payment shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction or waiver of any default by Sublessee, and shall be without prejudice to Sublessor’s right to pursue all if its remedies.

(h) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee’s obligations to indemnify Sublessor hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Sublease Term or any earlier termination of this Sublease.
