NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. The Company

MEI Pharma, Inc., or “the Company”, is an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapies for cancer. The Company’s common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEIP”.

The Company’s business purpose is the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer. The Company’s portfolio of drug candidates includes Pracinostat, an oral histone deacetylase (“HDAC”) inhibitor being developed in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (“AML”) who are ³ 75 years of age or unfit for intensive chemotherapy, and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (“MDS”). In August 2016, the Company entered into an exclusive worldwide license, development and commercialization agreement with Helsinn Healthcare SA, a Swiss pharmaceutical corporation (“Helsinn”) for Pracinostat in AML, MDS, and other potential indications (“Helsinn License Agreement”). The Company’s clinical development portfolio also includes ME-401, an oral inhibitor of phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase (“PI3K”) delta currently in a Phase Ib study in patients with recurrent chronic lymphocytic leukemia (“CLL”) or follicular non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (“fNHL”), and ME-344, a mitochondrial inhibitor currently in an investigator-sponsored study in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (“HER2”)-negative breast cancer. The Company owns exclusive worldwide rights to ME-401 and ME-344.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2016 Annual Report”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 9, 2016. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The Company uses estimates that affect the reported amounts (including assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses) and related disclosures. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an adjustment of $1.0 million to reduce accrued expenses related to clinical trials that were at or near completion for Pracinostat and ME-344 to reflect revised amounts expected to be invoiced upon final billing from third party vendors.

Revenue Recognition

The Company may generate revenues from licensing technology rights and from the conduct of research and development activities as part of the Helsinn License Agreement. The Company recognizes revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (iii) the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Payments received under commercial arrangements, such as licensing technology rights, may include non-refundable fees at the inception of the arrangements, milestone payments for specific achievements designated in the agreements, and royalties on the sale of products. The Company considers a variety of factors in determining the appropriate method of accounting under its license agreements, including whether the various elements can be separated and accounted for individually as separate units of accounting. Deliverables under an arrangement will be separate units of accounting, provided (i) a delivered item has value to the customer on a standalone basis; and (ii) the arrangement includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item, delivery or performance of the undelivered item is considered probable and substantially in the Company’s control.

Multiple Element Arrangements

The Company accounts for revenue arrangements with multiple elements by separating and allocating consideration according to the relative selling price of each deliverable. If an element can be separated, an amount is allocated based upon the relative selling price of each element. The Company determines the relative selling price of a separate deliverable using the price it charges other customers when it sells that element separately. If the element is not sold separately and third party pricing evidence is not available, the Company will use its best estimate of selling price.

Table of Contents

License Fee Revenue

The Company defers recognition of non-refundable upfront license fees if it has continuing performance obligations, without which the licensed data, technology, or product has no utility to the licensee separate and independent of its performance under the other elements of the applicable arrangement. Non-refundable, up-front fees that are not contingent on any future performance by the Company and require no consequential continuing involvement on the Company’s part are recognized as revenue when the license term commences and the licensed data, technology or product is delivered. The specific methodology for the recognition of the revenue is determined on a case-by-case basis according to the facts and circumstances of the applicable agreement.

Research and Development Revenue

Research and development revenue represents ratable recognition of fees allocated to research and development activities in accordance with the Helsinn License Agreement. The Company defers recognition of research and development revenue until the performance of the related research and development activities has occurred.

Cost of Research and Development Revenue

Cost of research and development revenue primarily includes internal compensation and related personnel expenses to support our research and development revenue and external costs paid to third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials and develop and manufacture drug materials.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The standard provides companies with a single model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the required adoption date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result of the deferred effective date, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of the new standard of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The following ASUs were subsequently issued by the FASB to clarify the implementation guidance in some areas and add practical expedients: In March 2016, ASU 2016-08,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations ; in April 2016, ASU 2016-10,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ; in May 2016, ASU 2016-11,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Derivatives and Hedging—Rescission of SEC Guidance ; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients . The Company is in the process of evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the impact of adoption on its financial statements.

In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). The standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Subsequent to adoption, the Company will apply the guidance in ASU 2014-15 to assess its ability to continue as a going concern.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2016, the FASB issued No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Topic 326 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current U.S. GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current U.S. GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

Note 2. Helsinn License Agreement

In August 2016, the Company entered into the Helsinn License Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Helsinn is granted a worldwide exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize Pracinostat, and is primarily responsible for funding its global development and commercialization. As compensation for such grant of rights, the Company received a $15.0 million upfront payment in August 2016, and will receive a $5.0 million payment upon the earlier of (i) dosing of the first patient in the upcoming Phase III study of Pracinostat in newly diagnosed AML patients who are > 75 years of age or unfit to receive induction therapy or (ii) March 1, 2017. The Company will also receive reimbursement related to agreements entered into by MEI in anticipation of the upcoming Phase III study of Pracinostat by Helsinn as well as a Phase II study for Pracinostat in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of high and very high risk MDS, which will be conducted by MEI. The current expected external cost of the Phase II study will be shared equally by Helsinn and the Company. Enrollment in the Phase II study is anticipated to commence in the first half of calendar year 2017. The Company will be eligible to receive up to $444 million in potential regulatory and sales-based milestones, along with royalty payments on the net sales of Pracinostat.

The Company has determined that the exclusive license, development and commercialization agreement represents a multiple-element arrangement for purposes of revenue recognition. Revenue related to the license will be recognized upon completion of the technology and data transfer, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. Revenue related to research and development elements of the arrangement will be recognized ratably over the period of each research and development activity. Revenue associated with third-party costs will be recognized on a gross basis as such costs are incurred.

Contemporaneously with the Helsinn License Agreement, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Helsinn Equity Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2016, with Helsinn Investment Fund SA (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to issue a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $5,000,000 by the volume weighted-average price for shares of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading day period beginning on August 1, 2016 and ending on August 12, 2016 (the “VWAP”), rounded to the nearest whole share. The VWAP was $1.911 per share. Accordingly, on August 16, 2016, the Company issued 2,616,431 shares of common stock. The difference between the VWAP price of $1.911 per share and the closing price of the Company’s common stock on August 5, 2016 of $1.61 of $788,000 has been allocated to the revenue elements.

Note 3. Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share are computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period, less any shares subject to repurchase or forfeiture. There were no shares of common stock subject to repurchase or forfeiture for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Because the Company is in a net loss position, it has excluded stock options, unvested RSUs and warrants from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because these securities are antidilutive for all periods presented. As of September 30, 2016 and 2015, the number of securities excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share totaled 8,389,808 and 6,543,678, respectively.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has contracted with various consultants and third parties to assist it in pre-clinical research and development and clinical trials work for its leading drug compounds. The contracts are terminable at any time, but obligate the Company to reimburse the providers for any time and costs incurred through the date of termination. The Company also has employment agreements with certain of its current employees that provide for severance payments and accelerated vesting for share-based awards if their employment is terminated under specified circumstances.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2016, the Company leases approximately 8,800 square feet of office space for the Company’s executive and administrative offices. The monthly rental rate is approximately $29,000 during the remaining term of the lease, plus a pro-rata share of certain building expenses. The lease expires in June 2017. Total future minimum payments under the lease are $257,000 through June 30, 2017.

Asset Purchase Agreement

In August 2012, the Company entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with S*Bio Pte Ltd (“S*Bio”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets comprised of intellectual property and technology including rights to Pracinostat, in exchange for $500,000 of common stock. In August 2012, the Company completed the asset purchase and issued 195,756 shares of common stock to S*Bio. The Company has also agreed to make certain milestone payments to S*Bio based on the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and net sales-based milestones, as well as to make certain contingent earnout payments to S*Bio. Milestone payments will be made to S*Bio up to an aggregate amount of $75.2 million if certain U.S., E.U. and Japanese regulatory approvals are obtained and if certain net sales thresholds are met in North America, the E.U. and Japan. The first milestone payment of $200,000 payable in cash, plus $500,000 payable in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, will be due upon the first dosing of a patient in a Phase III clinical trial or other pivotal trial, for any indication. Subsequent milestone payments will be due upon certain regulatory approvals and sales-based events. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has accrued $700,000 for potential future payments.

CyDex License Agreement

In September 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with CyDex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“CyDex”). Under the license agreement, CyDex granted to the Company an exclusive, nontransferable license to intellectual property rights relating to Captisol ® for use with the Company’s isoflavone-based drug compounds. The Company agreed to pay to CyDex a non-refundable license issuance fee, future milestone payments, and royalties at a low, single-digit percentage on future sales of the Company’s approved drugs utilizing Captisol. Contemporaneously with the license agreement, the Company and CyDex entered into a commercial supply agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase 100% of its requirements for Captisol from CyDex. The Company may terminate both the license agreement and the supply agreement for convenience at any time upon 90 days’ prior written notice. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has not accrued any amounts for potential future payments.

Note 5. Short-Term Investments

As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the Company’s short-term investments consisted of $45.1 million and $35.1 million, respectively, in U.S. government securities. The short-term investments held as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016 had maturity dates of less than one year, are considered to be “held to maturity” and are carried at amortized cost. Due to the short-term maturities of these instruments, the amortized cost approximates the related fair values. As of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, the gross holding gains and losses were immaterial.

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity

Equity Transactions

Shelf Registration Statement

In April 2014, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC (“shelf registration statement”). The shelf registration statement was declared effective by the SEC in April 2014. The shelf registration statement permits the Company to sell, from time to time, up to $150.0 million of common stock, preferred stock and warrants. As of September 30, 2016, there is $104.0 million aggregate value of securities available under the shelf registration statement. Pursuant to SEC regulations, if the market value of the Company’s public float is below $75.0 million, the Company cannot sell securities from the shelf registration statement which represent more than one-third of the market value of the Company’s non-affiliated public float during any 12-month period. The market value of the Company’s non-affiliated public float was less than $75.0 million as of September 30, 2016. Accordingly, until the Company’s non-affiliated public float exceeds $75.0 million, the Company may not sell shares with a market value greater than one-third of its non-affiliated public float during any 12-month period under the shelf registration statement.

Helsinn Equity Investment

The Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Helsinn Equity Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2016, with Helsinn Investment Fund SA (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to issue a number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing $5,000,000 by the volume weighted-average price for shares of the Company’s common stock for the ten trading day period beginning on August 1, 2016 and ending on August 12, 2016 (the “VWAP”), rounded to the nearest whole share. The VWAP was $1.911 per share. Accordingly, on August 16, 2016, the Company issued 2,616,431 shares of common stock. The transaction was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Warrants

As of September 30, 2016, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 315,484 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $7.14 per share, which expire in May 2017, issued in conjunction with the Company’s May 2012 rights offering; outstanding Series A warrants and warrants issued to the Company’s placement agent for its May 2011 private placement to purchase up to 215,721 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share, which expire in November 2016; and warrants to purchase 3,230,202 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.12 per share, which expire in December 2017, issued in conjunction with its December 2012 private placement.

Note 7. Share-based Compensation

The Company uses equity-based compensation programs to provide long-term performance incentives for its employees. These incentives consist primarily of stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”).

MEI Pharma’s 2008 Stock Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2008 Equity Plan”) provides for the grant of options and/or other share-based or share-denominated awards to the Company’s non-employee directors, officers, employees and advisors. The 2008 Equity Plan was initially adopted in 2008 and was amended and restated in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015. Effective December 3, 2015, the Company’s stockholders voted to further amend and restate the 2008 Equity Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the plan to 6,686,000 shares, among other changes. As of September 30, 2016, there were 1,566,845 shares available for future grant under the 2008 Equity Plan.

Total share-based compensation expense for all stock awards consists of the following, in thousands:

The fair value of each stock option granted during the three months ended September 30, 2016 is estimated on the grant date under the fair value method using a Black-Scholes valuation model. Stock options granted to employees during the three months ended September 30, 2016 vest 25% one year from the date of grant and ratably each month thereafter for a period of 36 months and expire ten years from the date of grant. Stock options granted to directors during the three months ended September 30, 2016 vest ratably each month for a period of 12 months from the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. The RSU equity awards are measured using the grant date fair value of the Company’s common stock. The estimated fair values of the stock options and RSUs, including the effect of estimated forfeitures, are expensed over the service period.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used to determine the fair value of options granted during the period:

As of September 30, 2016, there was $2.4 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of stock options. Such compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.

Restricted Stock Units

In March 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted 400,000 RSUs to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Daniel P. Gold. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. One-third of the RSUs vested on August 30, 2014, one-third vested on August 30, 2015, and the remaining one-third vested on August 30, 2016. The shares underlying the RSUs will be delivered to Dr. Gold on the earliest to occur of (i) March 29, 2018, (ii) Dr. Gold’s death, disability or separation from service from the Company for any reason, or (iii) a change in control involving the Company. The fair value of the RSUs on the date of grant was $3.5 million. The grant date fair value per unit was $8.63.

In June 2016, the Company granted 364,726 RSUs to employees. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s common stock. The RSUs were subject to performance criteria that were met in August 2016. The RSUs will vest in August 2018. The fair value of the RSUs was measured at $1.61 per unit on the date the performance criteria were met. Under the terms of the 2008 Plan, each of these RSUs is calculated as 1.25 shares of common stock for purposes of determining the number of shares available for future grant. There were 363,014 unvested RSUs outstanding as of September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested portion of the Company’s RSUs was approximately $0.5 million and is expected to be recognized over approximately 1.8 years.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding the future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, without limitation, those described in “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report, and elsewhere in this report, including, among other things:

 

    our inability to obtain required additional financing or financing available to us on acceptable terms, or at all, which may cause us to delay, scale-back or eliminate plans related to development of our drug candidates;

 

    Helsinn or other parties with which we have entered into collaboration, license, development and/or commercialization agreements may not satisfy their obligations under the agreements which could impact future revenues;

 

    we are in early stage clinical studies for our product candidates on which our development plans are based; clinical studies by their nature typically have a high level of risk and may not produce successful results;

 

    the results of pre-clinical studies and completed clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, and our current drug candidates may not have favorable results in later studies or trials;

 

    our inability to maintain or enter into, and the risks resulting from our dependence upon, contractual arrangements necessary for the clinical development, manufacture, commercialization, marketing, sales and distribution of our product candidates;

 

    costs and delays in our clinical development programs and/or receipt of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other required governmental or regulatory approvals, or the failure to obtain such approvals, for our product candidates;

 

    the FDA’s interpretation and our interpretation of data from preclinical and clinical studies may differ significantly;

 

    our failure to successfully commercialize our product candidates;

 

    the failure of any products to gain market acceptance;

 

    our inability to control the costs of manufacturing our products;

 

    our reliance on acquisitions or licenses from third parties to expand our pipeline of drug candidates;

 

    competition and competitive factors;

 

    our inability to protect our patents or proprietary rights and obtain necessary rights to third party patents and intellectual property to operate our business;

 

    our inability to operate our business without infringing the patents and proprietary rights of others;

 

    costs stemming from our defense against third party intellectual property infringement claims;

 

    general economic conditions;

 

    technological changes;

 

    government regulation generally;

 

    changes in industry practice; and

 

    one-time events.

These risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report and our other filings with the SEC include additional factors which could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. The following discussion is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed information set forth in the financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2016 Annual Report, as filed with the SEC. Operating results are not necessarily indicative of results that may occur in future periods.

Overview and Recent Developments

We are an oncology company focused on the clinical development of novel therapies for cancer. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MEIP”.

Table of Contents

Our business purpose is the development of drugs for the treatment of cancer. Our portfolio of clinical drug candidates includes Pracinostat, an oral HDAC inhibitor that is being developed in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are ³ 75 years of age or unfit for intensive chemotherapy, and high-risk MDS. In August 2016, we entered into an exclusive worldwide license, development and commercialization agreement with Helsinn for Pracinostat in AML, MDS and other potential indications. Our clinical development portfolio also includes ME-401, an oral inhibitor of PI3K delta being developed for B-cell malignancies, and ME-344, a mitochondrial inhibitor that has shown evidence of clinical activity in refractory solid tumors. We own exclusive worldwide rights to ME-401 and ME-344.

Clinical Development Programs

HDAC Inhibitor Drug Candidate: Pracinostat

In August 2016, we announced that the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy Designation for Pracinostat in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of patients with newly diagnosed AML who are ³ 75 years of age or unfit for intensive chemotherapy. In addition, agreement has been reached with the FDA on the proposed Phase III study design. According to the FDA, Breakthrough Therapy Designation is intended to expedite the development and review of drugs for serious or life-threatening conditions. The criteria for Breakthrough Therapy Designation require preliminary clinical evidence that demonstrates the drug may have substantial improvement on at least one clinically significant endpoint over available therapy.

The Breakthrough Therapy Designation is supported by data from a Phase II study of Pracinostat plus azacitidine in elderly patients with newly diagnosed AML who are not candidates for induction chemotherapy. The study showed a median overall survival of 19.1 months and a complete response (CR) rate of 42% (21 of 50 patients). These data compare favorably to a recent international Phase III study of azacitidine (AZA-001; Dombret et al. Blood . 2015 May 18), which showed a median overall survival of 10.4 months with azacitidine alone and a CR rate of 19.5% in a similar patient population. The combination of Pracinostat and azacitidine was generally well tolerated, with no unexpected toxicities. The most common grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events included febrile neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia and fatigue.

In August 2016, we entered into an exclusive license, development and commercialization agreement with Helsinn, a Swiss pharmaceutical corporation, for Pracinostat in AML, MDS and other potential indications (“Helsinn License Agreement”). Under the terms of the agreement, Helsinn is granted a worldwide exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize Pracinostat, and is primarily responsible for funding its global development and commercialization. As compensation for such grant of rights, we will receive near-term payments of $20.0 million, including a $15.0 million upfront payment which was received in August 2016, and a $5.0 million payment upon the earlier to occur of (i) dosing of the first patient in the upcoming Phase III study of Pracinostat in newly diagnosed AML patients unfit to receive induction therapy, or (ii) March 1, 2017. In addition, we will be eligible to receive up to $444 million in potential regulatory and sales-based milestones, along with royalty payments on the net sales of Pracinostat.

As part of the Helsinn License Agreement, we will work with Helsinn to determine an optimal dosing regimen of Pracinostat in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of high and very high risk MDS. The cost of this study would be shared by Helsinn and us and enrollment is anticipated to commence in the first half of calendar year 2017.

PI3-Kinase Delta Drug Candidate: ME-401

In September 2013, we acquired exclusive worldwide rights to ME-401 from Pathway Therapeutics, Inc. for an undisclosed upfront cash payment with no future milestone or royalty obligations. Data from pre-clinical studies show ME-401 to be a potent and selective oral inhibitor of PI3K delta, a molecular target that plays a critical role in the proliferation and survival of certain hematologic cancer cells. PI3K delta is a class of drugs that has shown promise in the treatment of B-cell malignancies, but with particular toxicities. We believe this provides an opportunity for a next-generation oral drug that can produce therapeutic responses at a safe, effective dose. ME-401 has a distinct chemical structure from certain other PI3K delta inhibitors, including idelalisib (marketed as Zydelig ® ). Data presented at the ASH Annual Meeting in December 2012 demonstrated that ME-401 has superior pre-clinical activity compared to idelalisib.

Results from a first-in-human, single ascending dose clinical study of ME-401 in healthy volunteers were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting in April 2016. The data demonstrated on-target activity at very low plasma concentrations. In addition, the results from the study suggest that ME-401 has the potential for a superior pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile and an improved therapeutic window compared to idelalisib, with a half-life that supports once-daily dosing. In March 2016, the FDA approved our Investigational New Drug application for ME-401 in B-cell malignancies. A Phase Ib dose-escalation study of ME-401 in patients with recurrent CLL or fNHL opened for enrollment in September 2016. The goal of the study is to demonstrate an improved therapeutic window with repeated dosing in cancer patients. Interim data is expected in the second quarter of calendar year 2017.

Mitochondrial Inhibitor Drug Candidate: ME-344

ME-344 is our isoflavone-derived mitochondrial inhibitor drug candidate. In preclinical studies, ME-344 has been shown to cause cell death in multiple human tumor cell lines, including ovarian cancer stem cells, by interfering with mitochondrial energy generation.

Results from our first-in-human, single-agent Phase I clinical trial of ME-344 in patients with refractory solid tumors were published in the April 1, 2015 issue of Cancer . The results indicated that eight of 21 evaluable patients (38%) treated with ME-344 achieved stable disease or better, including five who experienced progression-free survival that was at least twice the duration of their last prior treatment before entry into the study. In addition, one of these patients, a heavily pre-treated patient with small cell lung cancer, achieved a confirmed partial response and remained on study for two years. ME-344 was generally well tolerated at doses equal to or less than 10 mg/kg delivered on a weekly schedule for extended durations. Treatment-related adverse events included nausea, dizziness and fatigue. Dose limiting toxicities were observed at both the 15 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg dose levels, consisting primarily of Grade 3 peripheral neuropathy.

In May 2015, we announced new pre-clinical data from a collaboration with the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre in Madrid showing mitochondria-specific effects of ME-344 in cancer cells, including substantially enhanced anti-tumor activity when combined with agents that inhibit the activity of vascular endothelial growth factor (“VEGF”). These new data demonstrate that the anti-cancer effects when combining ME-344 with a VEGF inhibitor are due to an inhibition of both mitochondrial and glycolytic metabolism. An investigator-sponsored study of ME-344 in combination with the VEGF inhibitor bevacizumab (marketed as Avastin ® ) in HER2-negative breast cancer opened for enrollment in August 2016.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

We incurred losses of $4.3 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Revenues: We recognized research and development revenue of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to no revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The research and development revenue resulted from the recognition of fees allocated to research and development activities in accordance with the Helsinn License Agreement which was signed in August 2016.

Cost of Research and Development Revenue: We recognized cost of research and development revenue of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to no cost of research and development revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The cost of research and development revenue includes internal compensation and related personnel expenses to support our research and development revenue and external costs paid to third-party contractors to perform research, conduct clinical trials and develop and manufacture drug materials.

Research and Development : Research and development expenses consist primarily of clinical trial costs (including payments to contract research organizations), pre-clinical study costs, costs to manufacture our drug candidates for non-clinical and clinical studies and salaries and other personnel costs. Research and development expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in clinical trial costs associated with Pracinostat and with ME-344, including a reduction of clinical trial costs of $1.0 million due to revisions in estimates of amounts that are owed to contract research organizations for clinical trials for Pracinostat and ME-344 that are at or near completion. Expenses related to Pracinostat decreased pursuant to our license agreement with Helsinn, under which Helsinn will be primarily responsible for funding the development and commercialization of Pracinostat and, subject to certain exceptions, will be solely responsible for all costs related thereto.

General and Administrative : General and administrative expenses increased by $0.9 million to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase is due to higher levels of professional services expenses associated with the Helsinn License Agreement during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Other income or expense: We received interest and dividend income of $55,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $27,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. The increase was due to higher yields during the three months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have accumulated losses of $181.3 million since inception and expect to incur operating losses and generate negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2016, we had $58.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, which we believe will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months. Our current business operations are focused on continuing the clinical development of our drug candidates. Changes to our research and development plans or other changes affecting our operating expenses may affect actual future use of existing cash resources. To date, we have obtained cash and funded our operations primarily through equity financings. In order to continue the development of our drug candidates, at some point in the future we expect to pursue one or more capital transactions, whether through the sale of equity securities, license agreements or entry into strategic partnerships.

Sources and Uses of Our Cash

Net cash provided by operations for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $8.8 million compared to $5.8 million used in operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily due to the $15.0 upfront payment received as part of the Helsinn License Agreement.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $10.0 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $4.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2015. Cash used in investing activities represents purchases of investments in short-term U.S. government securities in excess of maturities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $4.2 million, representing the equity investment by Helsinn in a transaction related to the Helsinn License Agreement. There was no cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Contractual Obligations

We have contracted with various consultants and third parties to assist us in pre-clinical research and development and clinical trials work for our leading drug compounds. The contracts are terminable at any time, but obligate us to reimburse the providers for any time or costs incurred through the date of termination. Additionally, we have employment agreements with certain of our current employees that provide for severance payments and accelerated vesting for share-based awards if their employment is terminated under specified circumstances.

As of September 30, 2016, we lease approximately 8,800 square feet of office space at a monthly rental rate of approximately $29,000 per month during the term of the lease, through June 2017.

CyDex License Agreement

In September 2012, the Company entered into a license agreement with CyDex. Under the license agreement, CyDex granted to the Company an exclusive, nontransferable license to intellectual property rights relating to Captisol ® for use with the Company’s isoflavone-based drug compounds. The Company agreed to pay to CyDex a non-refundable license issuance fee, future milestone payments, and royalties at a low, single-digit percentage rate on future sales of the Company’s approved drugs utilizing Captisol. Contemporaneously with the license agreement, the Company and CyDex entered into a commercial supply agreement pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase 100% of its requirements for Captisol from CyDex. The Company may terminate both the license agreement and the supply agreement for convenience at any time upon 90 days’ prior written notice.

S*Bio Asset Purchase

In August 2012, we entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement with S*Bio, pursuant to which we agreed to acquire certain assets comprised of intellectual property and technology including rights to Pracinostat, in exchange for $500,000 of common stock. On August 22, 2012, we completed the asset purchase and issued 195,756 shares of common stock to S*Bio. We also agreed to make certain milestone payments to S*Bio based on the achievement of certain clinical, regulatory and net sales-based milestones, as well as to make certain contingent earnout payments to S*Bio. Milestone payments will be made to S*Bio up to an aggregate amount of $75.2 million if certain U.S., E.U. and Japanese regulatory approvals are obtained and if certain net sales thresholds are met in North America, the E.U. and Japan. The first milestone payment of $200,000 payable in cash, plus $500,000 payable in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, will be due upon the first dosing of a patient in a Phase III clinical trial or other pivotal trial, for any indication. Subsequent milestone payments will be due upon certain regulatory approvals and sales-based events. As of September 30, 2016, the Company has accrued $700,000 for potential future payments.

Critical Accounting Policies and Management Estimates

We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1, The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the notes to financial statements included in our 2016 Annual Report. We discuss our critical accounting estimates in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our 2016 Annual Report. There have been no changes in our significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates since June 30, 2016, other than the adoption of revenue recognition policies as a result of the Helsinn License Agreement.

        In August 2016, we entered into the Helsinn License Agreement. Under the terms of the agreement, Helsinn is granted a worldwide exclusive license to develop, manufacture and commercialize Pracinostat, and is primarily responsible for funding its global development and commercialization. As compensation for such grant of rights, we received a $15.0 million upfront payment in August 2016, and will receive a $5.0 million payment upon the earlier of (i) dosing of the first patient in the upcoming Phase III study of Pracinostat in newly diagnosed AML patients who are > 75 years of age or unfit to receive induction therapy or (ii) March 1, 2017. We will also receive reimbursement related to agreements entered into by MEI in anticipation of the upcoming Phase III study of Pracinostat by Helsinn as well as a Phase II study for Pracinostat in combination with azacitidine for the treatment of high and very high risk MDS, which will be conducted by MEI. The current expected external cost of the Phase II study will be shared equally by Helsinn and us. Enrollment in the Phase II study is anticipated to commence in the first half of calendar year 2017. We will be eligible to receive up to $444 million in potential regulatory and sales-based milestones, along with royalty payments on the net sales of Pracinostat.

Table of Contents

We have determined that the exclusive license, development and commercialization agreement represents a multiple-element arrangement for purposes of revenue recognition. Revenue related to the license will be recognized upon completion of the technology and data transfer, which is expected to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017. Revenue related to research and development elements of the arrangement will be recognized over the period of each research and development activity. Revenue associated with third-party costs will be recognized on a gross basis as such costs are incurred.

Contemporaneously with the Helsinn License Agreement, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Helsinn Equity Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2016, with Helsinn Investment Fund SA (the “Purchaser”). Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase and we agreed to issue a number of shares of our common stock determined by dividing $5,000,000 by the volume weighted-average price for shares of our common stock for the ten trading day period beginning on August 1, 2016 and ending on August 12, 2016 (the “VWAP”), rounded to the nearest whole share. The VWAP was $1.911 per share. Accordingly, on August 16, 2016, we issued 2,616,431 shares of common stock. The difference between the VWAP price of $1.911 per share and the closing price of our common stock on August 5, 2016 of $1.61 of $788,000 has been allocated to the revenue elements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The standard provides companies with a single model for accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date , which defers the required adoption date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. As a result of the deferred effective date, ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company in its first quarter of fiscal 2019. Early adoption is permitted but not before the original effective date of the new standard of the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The following ASUs were subsequently issued by the FASB to clarify the implementation guidance in some areas and add practical expedients: In March 2016, ASU 2016-08,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations ; in April 2016, ASU 2016-10,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing ; in May 2016, ASU 2016-11,  Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Derivatives and Hedging—Rescission of SEC Guidance ; and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients . We are in the process of evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the impact of adoption on our financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . The standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date the financial statements are issued and provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. Certain disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU 2014-15 applies to all entities and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. Subsequent to adoption, we will apply the guidance in ASU 2014-15 to assess its ability to continue as a going concern.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 Leases , which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting , which simplifies several aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments —Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Topic 326 amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current U.S. GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current U.S. GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. ASU 2016-13 affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our exposure to market interest rates relates primarily to the investment of cash balances and short-term investments. We have cash reserves held in U.S. dollars and we place funds on deposit with financial institutions, which are readily available. Our short-term investments consist solely of U.S. government securities with a maturity of three to twelve months.

We place our cash deposits with high credit quality financial institutions and by policy limit the amount of credit exposure to any one corporation or bank. These deposits are in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. We are adverse to principal loss and we ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. We seek to mitigate default risk by depositing funds with high credit quality financial institutions, by limiting the amount of credit exposure to any one corporation or bank, by purchasing short-term investments consisting of U.S. government securities, and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any such financial institution.

We do not consider the effects of interest rate movements to be a material risk to our financial condition.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Milestone Payment

[*CONFIDENTIAL*]    [*CONFIDENTIAL*]

 

* In the event that more than one sales milestone is achieved in a given Calendar Year, only the first such milestone shall be due during such Calendar Year and the subsequent milestone(s) shall be paid at the end of the second Calendar Quarter of the next Calendar Year. For example, if cumulative, worldwide Calendar Year Net Sales of the Product in a given Calendar Year equal [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , then [*CONFIDENTIAL*] will be paid following the Calendar Quarter during which cumulative worldwide Net Sales of the Product equal [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and [*CONFIDENTIAL*] will be paid [*CONFIDENTIAL*] (for clarity, this example would only apply to the first Calendar Year during which Net Sales exceed both [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and [*CONFIDENTIAL*] ).

8.3 Royalty Payments.

8.3.1 Product.  On a country-by-country basis during the Royalty Term applicable to such country, Licensee shall pay to Licensor in accordance with Section 8.5 the following royalties on Net Sales of the Product, subject to Sections 8.3.3 and 8.3.4:

(a) Royalties for Net Sales of Product (i) [*CONFIDENTIAL*] or (ii) directly Commercialized by Licensee or its Affiliates shall be payable at the following rates:

 

Aggregate Annual Global Net

Sales of Product

[*CONFIDENTIAL*] and/or

directly Commercialized by

Licensee or its Affiliates

 

Royalty Rate on Net Sales of

Product [*CONFIDENTIAL*]

and/or directly Commercialized

by Licensee or its Affiliates in

Tier 1 Countries

 

Royalty Rate on Net Sales of

Product directly

Commercialized by Licensee

or its Affiliates in Tier 2

Countries

[*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]
[*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]
[*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]   [*CONFIDENTIAL*]

(b) For Net Sales of Product [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and not directly Commercialized by Licensee or its Affiliates in Tier 1 Countries: [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of Net Sales of Product in each such country.

(c) For Net Sales of Product [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and not directly Commercialized by Licensee or its Affiliates in Tier 2 Countries: [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of Net Sales of Product in each such country.

For example purposes only, if aggregate annual global Net Sales equal [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , with [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of such sales [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and Tier 1 Countries where Licensee or its Affiliates are directly Commercializing the Product, then Licensor would receive total royalties for that year equal to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , calculated as follows:

(1) Sales [*CONFIDENTIAL*] and Tier 1 Countries where Licensee or its Affiliates are directly Commercializing the Product:  [*CONFIDENTIAL*]; PLUS

(2) sales in Tier 1 Countries ( [*CONFIDENTIAL*] ) where Licensee and its Affiliates are not directly Commercializing:  [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

8.3.2 Royalties in connection with [*CONFIDENTIAL*].

(a) On such timing as the Parties may agree in good faith, Licensee shall engage a Third Party expert selected by Licensee, and reasonably acceptable to Licensor, to evaluate, at Licensee’s sole expense, the [*CONFIDENTIAL*] by Licensee (or its Sublicensees) of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] . Licensee shall share such expert’s determination with Licensor.

(b) Regardless of such expert’s determination, Licensee shall have the right to decide at its discretion whether or not to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] (including direct Commercialization or through its Affiliates, Sublicensees or other nominees). If Licensee’s decision is positive, then (i) the licenses granted to Licensee in Sections 2.1.1 and 2.2.2 under the Licensor Technology shall, to the extent applicable, automatically be expanded from just the Product to also include [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , and (ii) Licensee shall pay to Licensor during the Royalty Term a royalty on Net Sales [*CONFIDENTIAL*] at a rate of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] where such sales are [*CONFIDENTIAL*] . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that for purposes of calculating the royalties due under this Section 8.3.2(b), in each country in which Licensee or its Affiliate or Sublicensee is [*CONFIDENTIAL*] royalties will be payable [*CONFIDENTIAL*] . For example, if Licensee or its Sublicensee is [*CONFIDENTIAL*] in a given country, and such Person(s) sells [*CONFIDENTIAL*], then there will be deemed to be [*CONFIDENTIAL*] that are subject to royalty payments under this Section 8.3.2(b).

8.3.3 Royalty Reductions in the United States and Countries Where Licensee or its Affiliates are Directly Commercializing the Product.   On a country-by-country basis, if at any time during the Royalty Term in the United States or any country where Licensee and its Affiliates are directly Commercializing the Product a Generic Product is commercially sold and remains on the market in such country for a period of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , then the royalty rate applicable for such country shall be reduced, starting [*CONFIDENTIAL*] from the day when the Generic Product is commercially sold, by [*CONFIDENTIAL*] . Such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] application shall be accomplished by way of the Parties calculating the overall amount of overpaid royalties based on such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] reduction, and Licensee shall have the right to offset any such amount against further payments to be paid to Licensor under this Agreement; provided, that when applying any such offset Licensee shall advise Licensor thereof in writing, including the amount of such offset remaining. Thereafter,

(a) for so long as such Generic Product remains on the market in such country, if the cumulative Net Sales in such country during a Calendar Quarter are equal to or exceed [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , but are less than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , of the Baseline Quarter

 

29


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Net Sales, then the royalty rate will be further reduced by [*CONFIDENTIAL*] in addition to the [*CONFIDENTIAL*] reduction mentioned at Section 8.3.3 above; or

(b) for so long as such Generic Product remains on the market in such country, if the cumulative Net Sales in such country during a Calendar Quarter are less than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , of the Baseline Quarter Net Sales, then the royalty rate will be further reduced by [*CONFIDENTIAL*] in addition to the [*CONFIDENTIAL*] reduction mentioned at Section 8.3.3.

8.3.4 Royalty Reductions in Countries Where Licensee or its Affiliates are not Directly Commercializing the Product (other than the United States).   On a country-by-country basis, if at any time during the Royalty Term with respect to any country where Licensee or its Affiliates are not directly Commercializing the Product (other than the United States), a Generic Product is commercially sold and remains on the market in such country for a period of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , then the royalty rate applicable for such country shall be reduced, starting [*CONFIDENTIAL*] from the day when the Generic Product is commercially sold, by [*CONFIDENTIAL*] . Such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] application shall be accomplished by way of the Parties calculating the overall amount of overpaid royalties based on the such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] reduction, and Licensee shall have the right to offset any such amount against further payments to be paid to Licensor under this Agreement; provided, that when applying any such offset Licensee shall advise Licensor thereof in writing, including the amount of such offset remaining. Thereafter, and for so long as such Generic Products remain on the market, if cumulative Net Sales in such country during a Calendar Quarter are less than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the Baseline Quarter Net Sales, then the royalty rate will be reduced to [*CONFIDENTIAL*] .

8.3.5 Royalty Minimum.   Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 8.3.3 and 8.3.4, or Sections 9.2(c), 9.2(d) and 9.3(c)(iii), on a country-by-country basis and for the shorter of (i) the Royalty Term in each such country or (ii) [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , in no event shall the royalties payable by Licensee to Licensor be reduced to less than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of Net Sales in such country.

8.4 Royalties due under the S*BIO Agreement.   [*CONFIDENTIAL*] shall be responsible for any payments due to S*BIO in connection with Development, Manufacture, and Commercialization of the Product, including payments associated with Net Sales of any given Product in any country. Throughout the Term, Licensor agrees to comply with its obligations under the S*BIO Agreement to the extent necessary to preserve Licensee’s rights with respect to the Compound and the Product in the Territory under this Agreement, and not take any action that would result in the loss of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] rights held by Licensor thereunder.

8.5 Royalty Payments and Reports.   Licensee shall calculate all Royalty Payments payable to Licensor pursuant to Section 8.3 with respect to Net Sales at the end of each Calendar Quarter, which amounts shall be converted to Dollars at such time in accordance with Section 8.7. Licensee shall pay to Licensor the royalty payment due for Net Sales during a given Calendar Quarter within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after the end of such Calendar Quarter;

 

30


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

provided, that, Licensee may make such payments through any of its Affiliates; provided, further, that, and notwithstanding Section 8.6, in the event that payment through any such Affiliate results in any given tax (or incremental tax increase) that would not have been payable had Licensee not made such payment through such Affiliate, then Licensee shall be solely responsible for such tax (or incremental tax increase). Licensee shall also provide Licensor with a good faith estimate of all Net Sales and the Royalty Payments due in connection therewith within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] following the end of each Calendar Quarter, provided however that this will not create any liability on Licensee in connection with any inaccuracy which may be included in such estimate. Each royalty payment due shall be accompanied by (i) a statement of the amount of gross sales of each Royalty Product, (a) as a whole and (b) on a country-by-country basis during the applicable Calendar Quarter (including such amounts expressed in local currency and as converted to Dollars), (ii) an itemized calculation of Net Sales (a) as a whole and (b) on a country-by-country basis, showing for both (a) and (b) deductions provided for in the definition of “Net Sales” during such Calendar Quarter, and (iii) a statement of the prices and the number of units of Royalty Products sold. Licensee shall be responsible for the proper accounting of Net Sales by or on behalf of its Sublicensees.

8.6 Taxes and Withholding.

8.6.1 VAT.  The Parties agree to cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any value added tax or similar payment ( VAT ) in respect of any payments made by Licensee to Licensor under this Agreement does not represent an unnecessary cost in respect of payments made under this Agreement; provided, that the Parties further agree that as of the Effective Date it is not anticipated that VAT will apply in connection with payments under this Agreement. For purposes of clarity, all sums payable under this Agreement shall be exclusive of VAT. In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Licensee shall pay such VAT, and (i) if such VAT is owing as a result of any action by Licensee, including any assignment or sublicense (including assignment to, or payment hereunder by, a Licensee-related entity or Affiliate), or any failure on the part of Licensee or its Affiliates to comply with applicable tax laws or filing or record retention requirements, that has the effect of modifying the tax treatment of the Parties hereto, then the payment in respect of which such VAT is owing shall be made without deduction for or on account of such VAT to ensure that Licensor receives a sum equal to the sum which it would have received had such VAT not been due or (ii) otherwise, such payment shall be made after deduction of such VAT. In the event that any deducted VAT is later recovered by Licensee, Licensee shall promptly reimburse Licensor for the deducted amount. For the sake of clarity, any increase in payments to Licensor under this Section 8.6.1 shall reflect only the incremental increase in VAT directly resulting from clause (i) above. In the event that any VAT is owing in any jurisdiction in respect of any such payment, Licensor will provide to Licensee tax invoices showing the correct amount of VAT in respect of such payments hereunder.

8.6.2 Withholding Tax Matters. If Licensee is required to make a payment to Licensor subject to a deduction of tax or withholding tax, the sum payable by Licensee (in respect of which such deduction or withholding is required to be made) shall be made to Licensor after deduction of the amount required to be so deducted or withheld, which

 

31


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

deducted or withheld amount shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Laws. Any such withholding taxes required under Applicable Laws to be paid or withheld shall be an expense of, and borne solely by Licensor, subject to Section 8.6.1, and the obligation of Licensee to assume the responsibility of such expense in the event that such expense arises as a result of any action by Licensee.

8.6.3 Tax Cooperation. To the extent Licensee is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payments to Licensor, Licensee shall pay the amounts of such taxes to the proper Governmental Authority in a timely manner and promptly transmit to Licensor an official tax certificate or other evidence of such withholding reasonably sufficient to enable Licensor to claim such payments of taxes. Licensor shall provide to Licensee any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for Licensee not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. Licensor shall use reasonable efforts to provide any such tax forms to Licensee at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for any payments for which the Licensor desires that Licensee apply a reduced withholding rate. Each Party shall provide the other with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery or reduction, as permitted by Applicable Laws, of withholding taxes, VAT, or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of the Party bearing such withholding tax or VAT.

8.7 Currency Conversion.   All payments hereunder shall be made in United States Dollars. For the purpose of calculating any sums due under, or otherwise reimbursable pursuant to, this Agreement (including the calculation of Net Sales expressed in currencies other than Dollars), any amount expressed in a foreign currency shall be converted into Dollars in a manner consistent with Licensee’s normal practices used to prepare its audited financial statements for external reporting purposes, in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, or by using the Wall Street Journal or Reuters, at Licensee’s discretion.

8.8 Late Payments.   Any amount required to be paid by Licensee hereunder which is not paid on the date due shall accrue interest from the date due at the rate of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ( LIBOR ) as quoted in the Wall Street Journal (or if it no longer exists, similarly authoritative source) plus four hundred (400) basis points; provided, however, that in no event shall such rate exceed the maximum legal annual interest rate. The payment of such interest shall not limit Licensor from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days for the actual number of days payment is delinquent.

8.9 Records; Audits.  Licensee shall keep full, true and accurate records and books of account containing all particulars that may be necessary for the purpose of confirming the accuracy of, and calculating, as applicable, all royalty payments and other amounts due to Licensor hereunder (including records of Net Sales), during the Term and for two (2) years thereafter or such longer period as required by Applicable Laws. Licensor shall have a right to request one audit of Licensee in each Calendar Year throughout the Term in order to confirm the accuracy of the foregoing (an Audit ); provided, that, such one audit per Calendar Year limitation shall not apply in the event of any subsequent “for cause” audit. Upon the written

A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

request by Licensor to Audit Licensee, Licensor shall have the right to engage an independent, internationally recognized accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Licensee and which will be subject to appropriate written obligations of confidentiality, to perform a review as is reasonably necessary to enable such accounting firm to calculate or otherwise confirm the accuracy of any of the foregoing for the Calendar Year(s) requested by Licensor. Licensee, shall make personnel reasonably available during regular business hours to answer queries on all such books and records required for the purpose of the Audit. The accountants shall deliver a copy of their findings to each of the Parties within ten (10) Business Days of the completion of the review, and, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, the findings of such accountant shall be final and binding on each of the Parties. Any underpayments by Licensee shall be paid to Licensor within five (5) Business Days of notification of the results of such Audit. Any overpayments made by Licensee shall be refunded by Licensor within five (5) Business Days of notification of the results of such Audit. The cost of the accountants shall be the responsibility of Licensor unless the accountants’ calculation shows that the actual royalties payable, Net Sales and/or any other applicable amount Audited hereunder (in the aggregate with respect to the entire period audited) to be different, by more than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] , than the amounts as paid and reported by Licensee for the period subject to the Audit, in which case Licensee shall bear the costs of the accountants. Any information obtained during such audit shall be treated as Confidential Information. In the event that Licensor has a good faith basis, which shall be shared with Licensee, for believing that a Sublicensee of Licensee is not accurately reporting Net Sales (and thus that Licensee is not making appropriate royalty payments hereunder), then at Licensor’s request, Licensee shall enforce its audit rights with respect to any such Sublicensee and Licensee shall report back to Licensor regarding the outcome of any such audit.

If Licensee elects to exercise such right, Licensor shall execute such assignments and other documents and perform such acts at Licensee’s reasonable expense as may be reasonably necessary to allow Licensee to file, maintain and prosecute such Patents in Licensee’s name, and such Patents shall cease to be Licensor Patents and thereafter shall be deemed Licensee Patents for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for clarity, for the purpose of Section 1.63.1 above).

For

 

34

purposes of this Section 9.2(b), any settlement in connection with an Infringement Claim that would involve the waiver of rights (including the rights to receive payments) of such other Party shall be deemed a material adverse impact and shall require the consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(c) If necessary to avoid infringement of intellectual property owned or controlled by a Third Party through the Manufacture, use or Commercialization of the Compound or the Product (as the Product and/or Compound (i) are described and/or claimed in the Licensor Patents and (ii) are being Developed and Manufactured by or on behalf of Licensor as of the Effective Date) for the Target Indication or Second Indication in the Territory, Licensee and Licensor shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain a license for Licensee under the Third Party’s intellectual property right. In particular, Licensor shall have the first right to negotiate and acquire rights to such intellectual property through a license or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement agreement); provided, that, if Licensor declines to exercise such right, Licensor shall promptly inform Licensee thereof and Licensee shall have the right to conduct such negotiations and acquire such rights and to deduct, subject to Section 8.3.5, any and all payments made to any Third Party under this Section 9.2(c) against any [*CONFIDENTIAL*] to be made by Licensee to Licensor under this Agreement, provided, however, that in no event shall such offset reduce any payment to be made to Licensor hereunder by more than [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of the amount otherwise payable.

(d) Licensee shall, subject to Section 8.3.5, have the right to offset against [*CONFIDENTIAL*] to be made by Licensee to Licensor under this Agreement [*CONFIDENTIAL*] of all costs and expenses (for clarity, not including any settlement costs or damages) incurred in defending any suit or action by a Third Party that claims that the use, Manufacture or Commercialization of the Compound and/or the Product (as the Compound and/or the Product (i) are described and/or claimed in the Licensor Patents and (ii) are being Developed and Manufactured by or on behalf of Licensor as of the Effective Date) infringes any issued patent claim in a Third Party’s Patent covering the use of the Compound or of the Product in the Target Indication or Second Indication.

9.3 Infringement or Invalidation Actions by Third Parties.

(a) Notice. If either Party becomes aware, or otherwise receives notice, of any patent nullity, invalidity or unenforceability actions, any declaratory judgment actions, or any alleged or threatened infringement, in each case, of or involving any Licensor Patents, including, any claims arising under the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Public Law 98-417), as amended, or its equivalent in a country other than the United States it will promptly (but in any case no later than five (5) Business Days from becoming aware of any such action) notify in writing the other Party thereof.

If Licensee fails to institute such litigation or otherwise take steps to remedy the applicable infringement within thirty (30) days of the date that Licensee becomes aware of such action or infringement (including by way of the Licensor providing notice thereof pursuant to Section 9.3(a)), then Licensor will have the right (but not the obligation), at its own expense, to bring any such suit, action or proceeding by counsel of its own choice.

42


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

Third Party (it being understood and agreed, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice of a Claim as provided in this Section 11.3.1 shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If a Party believes that a Claim presented to it for indemnification is one as to which the Party seeking indemnification is not entitled to indemnification under, as applicable, Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, it shall so notify the Party seeking indemnification.

11.3.2 If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense; provided, that if the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under Applicable Law, ethical rules or equitable principles, the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith.

11.3.3 The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the Indemnified Party with respect thereto.

11.3.4 The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Claim or consent to any judgment in respect thereof that does not include a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or adversely affects the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11.3.5 For clarity, neither Party shall have any indemnification obligation pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 to the extent the applicable Claim results or otherwise arises from the breach of this Agreement, negligence, or willful misconduct of the other Party or its Affiliates, sublicensees or subcontractors or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or consultants.

11.4 Limitation of Liability.   NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, OR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 11.4 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER

It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE 11. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance prior to commencement of this Agreement and upon expiration of any one (1) coverage. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the cancellation, nonrenewal or material change in such insurance or self - insurance which materially adversely affects the rights of the other Party hereunder.

CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1 Confidential Information.

12.1.1 The Parties agree that during the Term, and for a period of [*CONFIDENTIAL*] years thereafter, a Party receiving Confidential Information of the other Party will (X) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information to the same extent such Party maintains its own proprietary information of similar kind and value, and, in any event, no less than a reasonable standard of care, (Y) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as otherwise expressly permitted below and, in the case of Licensee, except as necessary or useful for a proper and full performance of its rights and obligations hereunder, and (Z) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement. As used herein, Confidential Information means all Know-How and other information and materials received by either Party from the other Party or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. The foregoing obligations and the other obligations set forth in this Section 12.1 shall not apply with respect to any portion of such Confidential Information which:

 

44


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(a) is publicly disclosed by the disclosing Party, either before or after it becomes known to the receiving Party;

(b) was known to the receiving Party or any or its Affiliates, without any obligation to keep it confidential, prior to when it was received from the disclosing Party;

(c) is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates by a Third Party that is lawfully in possession thereof without obligation to keep it confidential;

(d) has been published by a Third Party or otherwise enters the public domain through no fault of the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates in breach of this Agreement; or

(e) has been independently developed or acquired by the receiving Party or any of its Affiliates without the aid, application or use of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

Notwithstanding clauses (a) through (e) above, both Parties shall be bound to the obligations of this Article 12 (as the receiving Party hereunder) with respect to all Licensor Know-How to the extent such Licensor Know-How (i) was confidential prior to the Effective Date and (ii) specifically relates to the Compound or Product.

12.1.2 The receiving Party shall have the right to disclose any Confidential Information provided by the other Party hereunder if, in the reasonable opinion of the receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is necessary to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or the requirements of any law or rule imposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange or other Applicable Law, but only to the extent of such necessity or requirements; and no such disclosure shall cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information hereunder, except to the extent such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information. Where reasonably possible, the receiving Party shall notify the disclosing Party of the receiving Party’s intent to make such disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to the preceding sentence sufficiently prior to making such disclosure so as to allow the disclosing Party adequate time to take whatever action the disclosing Party may deem to be appropriate to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

12.1.3 Except as set forth above, each Party agrees that it shall provide or permit access to Confidential Information of the other Party only to (i) the receiving Party’s attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors for the sole purpose of enabling such attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors to provide advice to the receiving Party and (ii) the receiving Party’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sublicensees and subdistributors, and to the directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sublicensees, subdistributors and other Third Parties, who have a need to know such Confidential Information to assist the receiving Party with the activities contemplated or required of it by this Agreement; provided

A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

that in each case the Person to whom Confidential Information is being disclosed is subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use with respect to such Confidential Information substantially similar to the obligations of confidentiality and nonuse of the receiving Party pursuant to this Section 12.1; and provided further, that each Party shall remain responsible for any failure by its attorneys, independent accountants and financial advisors, Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and permitted subcontractors, sublicensees and subdistributors, to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Section 12.1.

For clarity, either Party may disclose without any limitation such Party’s U.S. federal income tax treatment and the U.S. federal income tax structure of the transactions relating to such Party that are based on or derived from this Agreement, as well as all materials of any kind (including opinions, other tax analyses, or a complete copy of this Agreement and any amendments thereto) relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, except to the extent that nondisclosure of such matters is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws.

12.1.4 Each Party acknowledges that a Party in breach of any of its obligations under this Section 12.1 may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable harm, for which monetary damages will be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement in the event of any such breach, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy available to it under this Agreement, at law or in equity, to seek injunctive relief, including an accounting for profits, specific performance of the terms hereof and other equitable relief for such breach, without the posting of bond or other security.

12.2 Publicity. Any press releases or other public statements or disclosures regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be subject to the express prior written consent of each of the Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that a disclosure shall be permitted without the other Party’s consent to the extent that it does not contain information beyond that included in a prior disclosure approved in writing by both Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any disclosure which is required by Applicable Law or the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange, as reasonably advised by the disclosing Party’s counsel, may be made without the prior consent of the other Party, although, prior to making any such legally required disclosure, the Party making such disclosure shall give the other Party prompt notice and an opportunity to comment on the proposed disclosure.

12.3 Securities Filings.  In the event Licensee proposes to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the securities regulators of any state or other jurisdiction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any other applicable securities law a registration statement or any other disclosure document which describes or refers to this Agreement, including filing a copy of this Agreement itself, Licensee shall notify Licensor of such intention and shall provide Licensor with a copy of relevant portions of the proposed filing not less than three (3) Business Days prior to such filing (or such shorter period of time as may be required in the circumstances, and any revisions to such portions of the proposed filing a reasonable time prior to the filing thereof), and shall use

12.4 Publications.

12.4.1 Licensee shall be free at all times to make publications or presentations with regard to the Compound and/or the Product, as it shall deem appropriate for the effective management of the Development and Commercialization of the Compound and Product throughout the Territory; provided, that Licensee shall (a) provide Licensor every [*CONFIDENTIAL*] throughout the Term with a publication strategy plan and (b) a copy of said publications or material presentations intended to be given to a public international audience for Licensor’s information reasonably prior to the public disclosure thereof.

12.4.2 The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain Third Parties counterparties to the agreements included in the Licensor’s data room prior to the Effective Date may have been granted publication rights related to the Compound and Product, and publications by such Persons in compliance with the provisions of the relevant agreements shall be permitted; provided, that Licensor shall advise Licensee reasonably prior to the public disclosure thereof regarding any anticipated publications by such Persons.

12.5 Use of Names.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither Party shall use the name of the other Party in relation to this transaction in any public announcement, press release or other public document without the written consent of such other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that subject to Section 12.2, either Party may use the name of the other Party in any document filed with any Regulatory Authority or Governmental Authority, including the Securities and Exchange Commission.

12.6 Unauthorized Disclosure of Confidential Information.   Each Party shall have a response plan in place for any disclosure of Confidential Information that is not authorized or otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Such plan shall include considerations of, among other things, notification, remediation and retrieval. In the event that a Party becomes aware of an unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, then such Party shall notify the other Party promptly in writing.

13.2.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Licensor’s material breach compromises the fundamental purpose of this Agreement and the ability of Licensee to continue the Development, Manufacture and Commercialization of the Compound and/or Product, and Licensee has no alternative but to terminate this Agreement, then in such case Licensee shall receive from Licensor appropriate payments (as determined pursuant to Article 15.13 below) to compensate Licensee for losses or damages, if any, suffered as a result of such material breach and termination of this Agreement (including as a result of Third Parties’ actions in connection therewith).

15.1 Disputes.

15.1.1 The Parties recognize that, from time to time, disputes, controversies or claims may arise which stem from or are related to a Party’s respective rights or obligations under this Agreement or a Party’s actual or alleged breach of this Agreement (a Dispute ). It is the desire of the Parties to establish procedures to facilitate the resolution of Disputes arising under this Agreement in an expedient manner by mutual cooperation and without resort to arbitration or litigation. To accomplish this objective, the Parties agree to follow the procedures set forth in this Section 15.1.1 if and when a Dispute arises under this Agreement. If the Parties are unable to resolve any Dispute within [*CONFIDENTIAL*] after such Dispute is submitted to it, either Party may, by written notice to the other Party, have such dispute referred to the Parties’ designated Executive Officers or their delegates for attempted resolution. In the event the designated Executive Officers or their delegates are not able to resolve such dispute within such [*CONFIDENTIAL*] period after receipt of written notice, then each Party is free to pursue any remedy at law or in equity available to such Party; provided, that Section 15.1.2 shall apply in the event of a Dispute related to Section 13.2.2.

15.1.2 If Licensee elects to exercise its rights under Section 13.2.2, it shall submit the question of Licensee’s damages to be finally settled by arbitration administered in accordance with the procedural rules of the American Arbitration Association (the AAA ) in effect at the time of submission, as modified by this Section 15.1.2. The arbitration will be governed by the Laws of the State of New York. The arbitration will be heard and determined by three (3) arbitrators who are retired judges or attorneys with at least twenty (20) years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, each of whom will be impartial and independent and will not have worked for or on behalf of either Party for at least five (5) years. Each Party will appoint one (1) arbitrator and the third arbitrator will be selected by the two (2) Party-appointed arbitrators, or, failing agreement within thirty (30) days following appointment of the second arbitrator, by the AAA. Such arbitration will take place in New York, New York. The arbitration award so given will, absent manifest error, be a final and binding determination, will be fully enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, and will not include any damages expressly prohibited by Section 11.4. Licensor will pay the fees, costs and expenses for the arbitrator it chooses, Licensee will pay the fees, costs and expenses for the arbitrator it chooses, and the Parties will share payment for the third arbitrator. Except in a proceeding to enforce the results of the arbitration or as otherwise required by Applicable Laws or securities exchange, neither Party nor any arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both Parties.

15.2 Entire Agreement; Amendment.   This Agreement, together with the Schedules hereto (but excluding Schedule  1.64 , i.e., the S*BIO Agreement), contains the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any other express or implied agreements and understandings, negotiations, writings and commitments, either oral or written, in respect to the subject matter hereof are superseded by the terms of this Agreement. The Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated herein by reference and shall be deemed a part of this Agreement. This Agreement may be amended, or any term hereof

15.3 Force Majeure.   No Party shall be liable for any failure to perform, or be considered in breach of, its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money) to the extent such performance has been delayed, interfered with or prevented by an event of Force Majeure, and the obligations of such Party under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money) whose performance is affected by Force Majeure shall be suspended for so long as its performance remains affected by the event of Force Majeure. Any Party that experiences an event of Force Majeure shall provide prompt notice of such event to the other Party, including an estimate of the likely period of time during which its performance will be affected, and shall use reasonable efforts to remove the condition constituting Force Majeure. In the event of a prolonged condition of Force Majeure that makes it unreasonable to continue to perform other activities then being performed by the Parties and their Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall consult directly or through the appropriate Committees and may appropriately scale back their respective activities in order to avoid waste or inappropriate usage of resources under the circumstances, and neither Party shall be liable for any such reasonable scale back, or be considered in breach of its obligations under this Agreement (other than obligations to make payments of money to the other Party) as a result of such reasonable scale back.

(b) Purchaser’s receipt of information pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall not operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by Seller in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement and shall not be deemed to amend or supplement the Seller Disclosure Schedules. Should any such fact or condition require any change to the Seller Disclosure Schedule, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a supplement to the Seller Disclosure Schedule specifying such change. Such delivery shall not affect any rights of Purchaser under this Agreement; provided that to the extent such update relates to a matter that occurred after the execution of this Agreement (and that should not have otherwise been set forth on the Schedules as of the execution of this Agreement) that results in any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller that but for this Section 5.6 would entitle Purchaser to not consummate the Closing (a “ Termination Update ”), and, to the extent such breach is not cured by Seller prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement

(a) The representations, warranties, pre-Closing covenants and pre-Closing agreements of Seller and Purchaser contained in this Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedule, the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(f) and Section 6.2(e) and the Transaction Documents, and the parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.3(a) shall survive the Closing and shall expire upon the expiration of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Organization and Qualification), Section 3.2 (Corporate Authorization), Section 3.5 (Title to Purchased Assets), Section 3.14 (No Finder), Section 3.18 (Taxes), Section 4.1 (Organization and Qualification) and Section 4.2 (Corporate Authorization) (collectively, the “ Fundamental Representations ”) and the parties’ indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.3(a) with respect to the Fundamental Representations, shall expire on the expiration of twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that such indemnification obligations shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which an Indemnified Party shall have, before the termination of such applicable period, made a Claim by delivering a Notice of Claim in accordance with this Agreement to the Indemnifying Party, which obligations with respect to such Notice of Claim shall survive until all such Claims have been resolved. The right to indemnification based upon the representations and warranties, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation (including any environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time (except as set forth in this Agreement, the Seller Disclosure Schedules), whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date.

(b) All post-Closing covenants and post-Closing agreements made by Seller or Purchaser in or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall survive the Closing and remain in full force and effect to give effect to their respective terms, unless otherwise expressly provided for by their terms.

8.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5(a), Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, “ Purchaser Indemnitees ”) harmless from and against all Damages (but net of the amount of (x) any insurance proceeds realized by such Purchaser Indemnitees from insurance policies with respect to such matters and (y) any recoveries by any Purchaser Indemnitees from any Third Party, without duplication) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Purchaser Indemnitees, whether in respect of Third Party Claims, claims between the parties hereto, resulting or arising from:

A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(a) Seller’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the Transaction Documents to which Seller is a party;

(b) Seller’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to which Seller is a party; and

(c) Seller’s failure to satisfy any Liabilities relating to any Excluded Asset and any of its obligations relating to any of the Retained Liabilities.

8.3 Indemnification by Purchaser.  Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5(b), Purchaser shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Seller and its Representatives (collectively, “ Seller Indemnitees ”) harmless from and against any and all Damages (but net of the amount of (x) any insurance proceeds realized by such Seller Indemnitees from insurance policies with respect to such matters and (y) any recoveries by any Seller Indemnitees from any third party, without duplication) imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of the Seller Indemnitees, whether in respect of Third Party Claims or claims between the parties hereto, resulting or arising from:

(a) Purchaser’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which Purchaser is a party;

(b) Purchaser’s breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant, obligation or agreement made by Purchaser in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to which Purchaser is a party; or

(c) Purchaser’s failure to fully assume and discharge any Liabilities relating to any Assumed Liabilities and any of its obligations relating to any of the Assumed Liabilities.

8.4 Notice of Claims.

(a) If (i) any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee (an “ Indemnified Party ”) believes that it has suffered or incurred or will suffer or incur any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification under this Article 8, or (ii) any Claim is instituted by or against a third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim any Damages, such Indemnified Party shall so notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “ Indemnifying Party ”) with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light of the circumstances then existing (the “ Notice of Claim ”). The Notice of Claim delivered pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall describe the Damages and/or Claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount of the Damages that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified Party. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this Section shall not affect any of such Party’s rights under this Article 8 or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Should any Claim be made or suit or proceeding be instituted against any Purchaser Indemnitee, which, if prosecuted successfully, would be a matter for which such Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 (a “ Third Party Claim ”), Purchaser shall notify Seller within twenty (20) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt

of notification of the Third Party Claim, including a description of the factual basis of the Third Party Claim and shall indicate the amount of the Damages. Thereafter, Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by Purchaser relating to the Third Party Claim. Seller shall be entitled to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof at its own expense with counsel selected by such Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, if Seller gives written notice to Purchaser of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after Seller receives notice of such claim from Purchaser; provided , however , that Seller shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Claim related to, either directly or indirectly, (i) the Program Technology or any intellectual property acquired by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement, (ii) criminal liability, (iii) in which equitable relief is sought against a Purchaser Indemnitee or (iv) with respect to which the potential Damages could be reasonably expected to exceed the Indemnification Cap. If Seller assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, Seller may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Indemnitee (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if (i) such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Purchaser Indemnitee of a full release from all liability in respect to such Third Party Claim, (ii) such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law by Purchaser or the rights of any person, (iii) the sole relief provided is anything other than monetary damages or (iv) as a result of such consent or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Purchaser Indemnitee. Purchaser will cooperate, at the expense of Seller, as Seller may reasonably request in investigating, defending and, subject to the terms set forth above, settling such Third Party Claim. If Seller elects not to defend a Third-Party Claim, is not permitted to defend such Third Party Claim or fails to notify Purchaser of its election as herein provided, Purchaser may pay, compromise, settle or defend such Third-Party Claim at the sole cost and expense of Seller if Seller is determined to be liable to Purchaser hereunder, provided , however , that no such payment in compromise or settlement of, or other compromise or settlement of, may be effected by Purchaser without Seller’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In any event, Seller shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in any defense of such Third Party Claim with the consent of Purchaser which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.5 Limitation of Claims.

(a) The Liability of Seller for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not be payable unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages suffered or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees collectively exceeds one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000); thereafter, a Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to seek compensation for Damages, and Seller shall be responsible for the payment of Damages to the extent in excess of one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000). The aggregate liability of Seller for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(b) hereof shall in no event exceed ten percent (10%) of the Transaction Value of the Closing Stock Payment and all Milestone Payments and Contingent Earnouts actually made to Seller pursuant to Section 2.6 (with the Milestone Stock Payment valued based upon the Transaction Value of the Milestone Stock Payment) as of the date of the final non-appealable determination of such Damages (the “ Indemnification Cap ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations on Damages set forth in

 

43


A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any Damages arising from any fraud by Seller or from Seller’s breach of Section 7.2. Purchaser shall have the right to withhold and subject to resolution of any claim for indemnification in accordance with this Agreement, set off, against any unpaid Milestone Payment or Contingent Earnouts, Damages up to the Indemnification Cap (with any set-off against the Milestone Stock Payment valued based upon the Transaction Value of the Milestone Stock Payment) (the “ Set-Off Right ”). In the event that Seller delivers a Notice of Claim seeking Damages in excess of the Indemnification Cap and the Indemnification Cap subsequently increases to a greater value as a result of the occurrence of a Milestone and the related obligation of a Milestone Payment or Contingent Earnouts, Purchaser shall thereafter be entitled to received additional Damages or set off Damages in the amount of the subsequently increased Indemnification Cap.

(b) The aggregate liability of Purchaser for indemnifiable Damages pursuant to Section 8.3(a) hereof shall in no event exceed the Transaction Value of the Closing Stock Payment and any Milestone Stock Payment if actually paid and delivered.

(c) The right to indemnification under this Article 8 and the Set-Off Right shall constitute the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees for Damages or otherwise arising from or in connection with this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 8.2 and the Transaction Documents or otherwise with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.6 Objections to Claims.  In case Seller shall object in writing to any claim or claims by a Purchaser Indemnitee made in any Notice of Claim, Purchaser Indemnitee shall have twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of such written objection to respond in a written statement to the objection of Seller. If after such twenty (20) Business Day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) Business Days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims. If Seller and Purchaser should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared by Purchaser and signed by Purchaser and Seller.

8.7 Resolution of Conflicts.  If no agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation between the parties pursuant to Section 8.6, Purchaser or Seller may initiate formal legal action pursuant to Section 10.6 of this Agreement to resolve such dispute.

8.8 Survival of Indemnification Claims.  The indemnification obligations set forth in this Article 8 shall survive the Closing.

8.9 Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments.  All indemnity payments made by Seller to Purchaser Indemnitees, or by Purchaser to Seller Indemnitees, pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

A request for confidential treatment has been made with respect to portions of the following document that are marked with [*CONFIDENTIAL*]. The redacted portions have been filed separately with the SEC.

 

(a) by Purchaser by written notice to Seller if Purchaser is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and:

(i) there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Seller pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 6.1(a) or Section 6.1(b) and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Seller within twenty (20) days of Seller’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Purchaser; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1(c)(i), 6.1(e), 6.1(f) or 6.1(g) shall not have been fulfilled within one (1) month after the date of this Agreement;

(b) by Seller by written notice to Purchaser if:

(i) Seller is not then in material breach of any provision of this Agreement and there has been a breach, inaccuracy in or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement that would give rise to the failure of any of the conditions specified in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) and such breach, inaccuracy or failure has not been cured by Purchaser within twenty (20) days of Purchaser’s receipt of written notice of such breach from Seller; or

(c) by Purchaser or Seller if the Transaction has not been consummated within two (2) months after the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if the failure to consummate the Transaction within such period is attributable to a failure on the part of such party to perform any covenant in this Agreement required to be performed by such party at or prior to the Closing; or

(d) by Purchaser or Seller in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable Order having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transaction.

9.2 Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall thereafter become void and have no effect, and no party hereto shall have any liability to the other party hereto or their respective Affiliates, or their respective directors, officers or employees, except for the obligations of the parties hereto contained in this Section 9.2 and in Article 10 (and any related definitional provisions set forth in Article 1), and except that nothing in this Section 9.2 shall relieve any party from liability for any breach of this Agreement that arose prior to such termination, for which liability the provisions of Article 8 shall remain in effect in accordance with the provisions and limitations of such Article.

10.7 Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

10.8 Counterparts; Facsimiles.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by electronic or facsimile transmission) in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.9 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto), the Transaction Documents executed in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, and the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended by this Agreement), contain the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and related transactions and supersede all prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

10.11 Specific Enforcement.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached and that an award of money damages would be inadequate in such event. Accordingly, it is acknowledged that the

Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, to enforce performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including an Order for specific performance, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy under this Agreement. Each party further agrees that neither the other party nor any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.11, and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended only by a written instrument signed by all of the Parties. The provisions hereof may be waived only in writing signed by all of the Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at Law or in equity.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue and sell to Purchaser up to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) worth of shares (the “ Shares ”) of common stock, par value $0.00000002 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”), which Shares shall be authorized and issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “ Common Stock Financing ”); and

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser desires to purchase from the Company the Shares.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

In consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, the Shares free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever other than limitations on the ability to freely resell the Shares as a result of the offering of such Shares hereunder not being registered under applicable securities laws.

1.2 Closing . The purchase and sale of the Shares shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures at 10:00 a.m. on August 16, 2016, or at such other time as the Company and Purchaser shall mutually agree (which time, date and place are referred to in this Agreement as the “ Closing ”).

As of the close of business on the date that is two Trading Days prior to the date of this Agreement, (i) 34,155,997 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, all of which were validly issued and fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights; (ii) 5,063,612 shares of Common Stock were issuable (and such number was reserved for issuance) upon exercise of options to purchase Common Stock or as restricted stock units payable in Common Stock (the “ Options ”) outstanding as of such date; (iii) 3,761,407 shares of Common Stock were issuable (and such number was reserved for issuance) upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock (the “ Warrants ”) outstanding as of such date; and (iv) no shares of Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

(b) As of the close of business on the last Trading Day immediately preceding the date of this Agreement, except for (i) the Options and (ii) the Warrants, there were no options, warrants or other rights to acquire capital stock or other equity interests from the Company, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock or other equity interests. Other than (A) shares of capital stock reserved for issuance as provided in this Section 2.3 and (B) options to purchase Common Stock or other equity awards issued in accordance with the Company’s Amended and Restated 2008 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “ Awards ”), the Company has not issued any shares of its capital stock or other equity interests, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for such capital stock or other equity

All outstanding shares of Common Stock and all shares of Common Stock subject to issuance upon exercise of the Options, the Awards and the Warrants, upon issuance prior to the Closing on the terms and conditions specified in the instruments pursuant to which they are issuable, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The Shares to be issued in connection with the Agreement, when issued as contemplated herein, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not be in violation of any preemptive rights and will be free and clear of all liens, charges, restrictions, claims, rights of first refusal and encumbrances except as set forth in this Agreement and the Company’s Governing Documents. The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Purchaser) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities.

2.4 Authorization; Enforceability.

(a) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform, as applicable, this Agreement and to issue and sell the Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

This Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles (the “ Equitable Exceptions ”). No action on the part of the Company’s stockholders is necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery or performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder.

Each SEC Filing, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, (i) as of its date, or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder, applicable to such SEC Filing, and (ii) did not, at the time it was filed (or at the time it became effective in the case of registration statements), or, if amended, as of the date of the last such amendment, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) Each of the consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in the SEC Filings, as amended, supplemented or restated, if applicable, was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto and, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, as permitted by the Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act) on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), and each presented fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and the consolidated subsidiaries of the Company as of the respective dates

authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

2.7 Employees and Employee Matters . The Company has complied in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws relating to the hiring of employees, consultants and advisors and the employment of labor, including provisions thereof relating to wages, hours, equal opportunity, collective bargaining and the payment of social security and other taxes.

2.8 Material Contracts . Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, neither the Company nor any of its assets, properties, businesses or operations is a party to, bound or affected by, or receives benefits under any contract which is a “material contract” (as such term is defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K of the SEC) (a “ Material Contract ”).

The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and the Company has taken no action designed to, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission is contemplating terminating such registration. The Company is in compliance with the requirements of the NASDAQ Global Select Market for continued listing of the Common Stock thereon and has not received any notification that the NASDAQ Global Select Market is contemplating terminating such listing. The Company has no reason to believe that it will not upon issuance of the Shares continue to be in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements. The issuance of the Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules of the NASDAQ Global Select Market.


2.12 Offering Exemption . Based in part on the representations of Purchaser set forth in Section 3.2 below, the offer, sale and issuance of the Shares in conformity with the terms of this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and are exempt from the qualification or registration requirements of applicable state securities laws (the “ Blue Sky Laws ”).

2.13 Affiliate Transactions . No employee, officer, director or 10% or greater shareholder of the Company or member of his or her immediate family (each a “ Covered Person ”) is currently indebted to the Company, nor is the Company indebted (or committed to make loans or extend or guarantee credit) to any Covered Person. Except as disclosed in the SEC Filings, as of the date hereof, no Covered Person has any direct or indirect ownership interest in any firm or corporation with which the Company is affiliated or with which the Company has a business relationship, or any firm or corporation that competes with the Company (except for ownership of stock not to exceed 1% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company that may compete with the Company).

2.14 Investment Company Act. The Company is not, and is not an Affiliate (as defined below) of, and after giving effect to the Common Stock Financing, will not be and will not be an Affiliate of, an “investment company” or an entity “controlled” by an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

None of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering contemplated hereby, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale is disqualified from relying on Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act (“ Rule 506 ”) for any of the reasons stated in Rule 506(d) in connection with the issuance and sale of the Shares to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. The Company has exercised reasonable care, including without limitation, conducting a factual inquiry that is appropriate in light of the circumstances, into whether any such disqualification under Rule 506(d) exists, but has assumed the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties.


2.17 Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments . Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Filings, except as specifically set forth in a subsequent SEC Filing filed at least three (3) Trading Days prior to the date hereof: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) the Company has not incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (a) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (b) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to the holders of its Common Stock or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock option plans. The Company does not have pending before the SEC any request for confidential treatment of information. Except for the issuance of the Shares contemplated by this Agreement, no event, liability, fact, circumstance, occurrence or development has occurred or exists or is reasonably expected to occur or exist with respect to the Company or its business, properties, operations, assets or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the Company under applicable securities laws if the Company were publicly offering securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act at the time this representation is made or deemed made that has not been publicly disclosed at least one (1) Trading Day prior to the date that this representation is made.

2.18 Environmental Matters . The Company is in compliance with and has not received notice of any actual or potential liability under or relating to, or actual or potential violation of, applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations relating to the use, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and protection of health and safety or the environment which are applicable to its business (the “ Environmental Laws ”). The Company has not received notice of any actual or potential liability under or relating to, or actual or potential violation of, any Environmental Laws, including for the investigation or remediation of any release or threat of release of hazardous materials, and has no knowledge of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to result in any such notice. The Company is not conducting or paying for, in whole or in part, any investigation, remediation or other corrective action pursuant to any Environmental Law at any location, and is not a party to any order, decree or agreement that imposes any obligation or liability under any Environmental Law. There are no costs or liabilities associated with Environmental Laws of or relating to the Company, except for any such matter, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not aware of any facts or issues regarding its compliance with Environmental Laws, or liabilities or other obligations under Environmental Laws, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the Company does not anticipate material capital expenditures relating to any Environmental Laws.

(a) The Shares acquired by Purchaser hereunder will be acquired by Purchaser for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to distribution in violation of the Securities Act. Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking or agreement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participation rights to such Person or to any other Person with respect to any of the Shares acquired by Purchaser hereunder.

(b) Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(c) Purchaser understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available or the Company receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time (“ Rule 144 ”), which permit limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

(d) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Shares. Purchaser believes that it has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the Shares acquired by Purchaser hereunder. Purchaser further represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares.

(e) Purchaser has not agreed to incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage or finders’ fees, agents’ commissions or other similar charges in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(f) Purchaser is not relying and has not relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties in Section 2 , including the Company Disclosure Schedule. Such representations and warranties by the Company constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and


Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature whether express, implied or statutory are specifically disclaimed by the Company.

(g) In connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company by Purchaser and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors, Purchaser and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives and advisors have received and may continue to receive after the date hereof from the Company and its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives and advisors certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan information, regarding the Company and its business and operations. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements, as well as in such business plans, and that Purchaser will have no claim against the Company, or any of its affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives or advisors, or any other Person with respect thereto unless any such information is expressly addressed or included in a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Accordingly, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither the Company nor any of its respective affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents, representatives or advisors, nor any other Person, has made or is making any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, forward-looking statements or business plans unless any such information is expressly addressed or included in a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement.

3.3 Compliance with Laws . Neither Purchaser nor, to Purchaser’s knowledge, any director, officer, agent, employee or Person acting on behalf of Purchaser, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as of each Closing as follows: if Purchaser is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), Purchaser has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Purchaser’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser’s jurisdiction.

6.1 Purchaser Lock-Up . Purchaser covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) Purchaser will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the period commencing on the Closing Date and, subject to the terms set forth herein, ending 180 days after the Closing Date (the “ Lock-Up Period ”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares purchased in the Closing or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of the Shares purchased in the Closing, in cash or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may transfer the Shares to any of its shareholders or Affiliates; provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to this subparagraph during the Lock-Up Period, each donee or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter with terms substantially similar to the terms of this Section 6.1 .

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser agrees that Purchaser shall not effect any sale, transfer or other disposition of any Shares unless: (a) such sale, transfer or other disposition is effected pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (b) such sale, transfer or other disposition is made in conformity with the requirements of Rule 144, as evidenced by a broker’s letter and a representation letter executed by Purchaser (reasonably satisfactory in form and content to the Company) stating that such requirements have been met; or (c) counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which may be counsel to the Company) shall have advised the Company in a written opinion letter (reasonably satisfactory in form and content to the Company), upon which the Company may rely, that such sale, transfer or other disposition will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1 , this Section 6.1 shall not prohibit or restrict any disposition of Common Stock by Purchaser in connection with (i) a bona fide tender offer by a Person other than Purchaser or the Company that is not opposed by the Board of Directors and involving a Change of Control of the Company (as defined below); or (ii) an issuer tender offer by the Company; provided, that in the event that the tender offer is not completed, the Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Section 6.1 . For the purposes of this Agreement, a “ Change of Control ” means the transfer, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person or group of affiliated persons, of shares of capital stock of the Company if, after such transfer, the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such transfer do not own at least fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity).

(d) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that stop transfer instructions will be given to the Company’s transfer agent with respect to the Shares until the expiration of the Lock-Up Period.

(a) make, effect, initiate or cause (i) any acquisition of beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company or any securities of any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company to the extent that such acquisition would result in Purchaser’s beneficial ownership of the Company exceeding 15%, (ii) any acquisition of any assets of the Company or any assets of any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company, (iii) any tender offer, exchange offer, merger, business combination, recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or extraordinary transaction involving the Company or any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company, or involving any securities or assets of the Company or any securities or assets of any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as those terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents with respect to any securities of the Company; provided, however, that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.3(a)(i) , if the number of shares of then outstanding Common Stock of the Company is reduced or if the ownership percentage of Purchaser is increased as a result of a repurchase by the Company of shares of Common Stock, or a stock split, stock dividend or a recapitalization of the Company, Purchaser shall not be required to dispose of its holdings of shares of the Common Stock even though such action resulted in Purchaser’s beneficial ownership increasing;

(b) form, join or participate in a “group” (as defined in the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) with respect to the beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company;

(c) act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the Company;

(d) take any action that might require the Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in clause “(a)” of this Section 6.3 ;

(e) agree or offer to take, or encourage or propose (publicly or otherwise) the taking of, any action referred to in clause “(a)”, “(b)”, “(c)” or “(d)” of this sentence;

(f) assist, induce or encourage any other Person to take any action of the type referred to in clause “(a)”, “(b)”, “(c)”, “(d)” or “(e)” of this sentence;

(g) enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangement or agreement with any other Person relating to any of the foregoing; or


(h) request or propose that the Company amend, waive or consider the amendment or waiver of any provision set forth in this Section 6.3 .

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that Purchaser shall not be prohibited from entering into an agreement and having discussions with legal, accounting or financial advisors for the limited purposes of evaluating any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.3 , and Purchaser may initiate private discussions with, and submit proposals confidentially to, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company regarding a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Section 6.3 ; provided, however, that any such proposal shall be expressly conditioned on approval of the Board of Directors and will not require public disclosure.

6.4 Commercial Reasonable Efforts . Each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy in a timely fashion each of the conditions to be satisfied by it under Section 4 and Section 5 of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall take all action necessary to (i) cause the lawful issuance of the Shares in accordance with this Agreement at Closing and (ii) make all filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission necessary to permit Purchaser to sell Shares in accordance with Rule 144.

The Company and Purchaser shall consult with each other regarding the substance of any public disclosure by either party regarding this Agreement (including the filing of the Agreement as an exhibit to a periodic filing with the SEC) and regarding the issuance of any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor Purchaser shall issue any such press release nor otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of Purchaser, or without the prior consent of Purchaser, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case the disclosing party shall promptly provide the other party with prior notice of such public statement or communication.

6.7 Shareholder Rights Plan . No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under this Agreement or under any other agreement among the Company and Purchaser.

6.8 Indemnification of Purchaser . Subject to the provisions of this Section 6.7 , the Company will indemnify and hold Purchaser and its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees and agents (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title), each Person who controls Purchaser (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, shareholders, agents, members, partners or employees (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding a lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling persons (each, a “ Purchaser Party ”) harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims,


contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that any such Purchaser Party may suffer or incur as a result of the Company’s breach of its representations, warranties or covenants under this Agreement (unless such action is based upon a breach of Purchaser’s representation set forth in Section 3.2). If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, provided that the failure to so notify the Company shall not prejudice the Purchaser Party’s right to indemnification except to the extent the Company is materially prejudiced thereby), and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Party. Any Purchaser Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchaser Party except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Purchaser Party, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel for all Purchaser Parties entitled to indemnification hereunder. The Company will not be liable to any Purchaser Party under this Agreement (y) for any settlement by a Purchaser Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (z) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to any Purchaser Party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by such Purchaser Party in this Agreement. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company and any liabilities that the Company may be subject to pursuant to law. The Company will have the exclusive right to settle any claim or proceeding, provided that the Company will not settle any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Purchaser Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the settlement includes a full and unconditional release satisfactory to the Purchaser Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim or proceeding and does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Purchaser Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Company’s liability under this Section 6.7 exceed (i) an aggregate of $5,000,000 in connection with any claim based on a breach of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in Sections 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.6, 2.11, 2.12, 2.16 or ARTICLE 6 or (ii) an aggregate of $2,000,000 in connection with any claim based on the breach of any other provision of this Agreement.

6.10 Form D; Blue Sky Filings . The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to Purchaser at each Closing under applicable Blue Sky Laws and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of Purchaser.

6.11 Book Entry Statement . The Company hereby agrees to deliver to Purchaser a book entry statement from the Transfer Agent showing the Shares registered in the name of Purchaser within three (3) business days of the Closing.

 

7. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS

agreements were made on and as of such date. All representations and warranties made by a party to this Agreement herein or pursuant hereto shall survive each Closing and the delivery of the Shares for a period of 15 months thereafter.

No rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person.

9.4 Injunctive Relief . Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that, in view of the uniqueness of the Shares, damages at law would be insufficient for any breach by Purchaser or the Company of any of their respective covenants in this Agreement.
