SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements that may relate to our plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs and other information that is not historical information. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “plan”, “expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “would”, “could”, “can”, the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy.

All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. We believe there is a reasonable basis for our expectations and beliefs, but they are inherently uncertain. We may not realize our expectations, and our beliefs may not prove correct. Actual results could differ materially from those described or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following uncertainties and factors, among others, could affect future performance and cause actual results to differ materially from those matters expressed in or implied by forward-looking statements:

 

    our plans to develop and commercialize our product candidates;

 

    our ongoing and planned clinical trials;

 

    the timing of and our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

 

    our estimates regarding expenses, future revenue, capital requirements and needs for additional financing;

 

    our ability to identify additional products or product candidates with significant commercial potential that are consistent with our commercial objectives;

 

    the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our products;

 

    our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy;

 

    significant competition in our industry;

 

    costs of litigation and the failure to successfully defend lawsuits and other claims against us;

 

    economic, political and other risks associated with our international operations;

 

    our ability to receive research funding and achieve anticipated milestones under our collaborations;

 

    our intellectual property position;

 

    costs of compliance and our failure to comply with new and existing governmental regulations including, but not limited to, tax regulations;

 

    loss or retirement of key members of management;

 

    failure to successfully execute our growth strategy, including any delays in our planned future growth; and

 

    our failure to maintain effective internal controls.

The factors, risks and uncertainties referred to above and others are more fully described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as updated from time to time in our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements should be regarded solely as our current plans, estimates and beliefs. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein represent our judgment as of the date of this report. We are not under any obligation, and we expressly disclaim any obligation, to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

MACROGENICS, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of MacroGenics, Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. The financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of the Company believes are necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. These interim financial results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full fiscal year or for any subsequent interim period.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MacroGenics, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, MacroGenics West, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2014.

There have been no material changes to the significant accounting policies previously disclosed in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. The ASU also will require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cashflows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Management is currently assessing what effect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

2. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair market values of the financial instruments included in the financial statements, which include cash equivalents and money market accounts, approximate their carrying values at June 30, 2014 due to their short-term maturities. The Company accounts for recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and requires expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. The ASC 820 hierarchy ranks the quality of reliability of inputs, or assumptions, used in the determination of fair value and requires assets and liabilities carried at fair value to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

 

    Level 1 – Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

    Level 2 – Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

7


Table of Contents
    Level 3 – Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity – e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security.

The Company evaluates financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis to determine the appropriate level at which to classify them each reporting period. This determination requires the Company to make subjective judgments as to the significance of inputs used in determining fair value and where such inputs lie within the ASC 820 hierarchy.

Financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements were as follows (in thousands):

3. Lease Exit Liability

On July 16, 2008, the Company acquired Raven Biotechnologies, Inc. (“Raven”), a private South San Francisco-based company focused on the development of monoclonal antibody therapeutics for treating cancer. Raven was considered a development-stage enterprise as defined in ASC 915, Development Stage Entities.

The Company undertook restructuring activities related to the acquisition of Raven. These restructuring activities included reductions in staffing levels and the intended exit of leased facilities. All severance-related payments were completed in the year ended December 31, 2009.

In connection with these restructuring activities, as part of the cost of acquisitions, the Company established a restructuring liability attributed to an existing operating lease. The terms of the operating lease extend through 2018.

Accrual balance at June 30, 2014

   $ 8,742   
  

 

 

 

The purchase agreement provides for a specified total of certain contingent milestones that are based on the achievement of certain product sales derived from the acquired Raven technology. Also, a onetime payment of $5.0 million will be made to the Raven stockholders upon the initiation of patient dosing in the first Phase 2 clinical trial of any product derived from the Raven “Cancer Stem Cell Program.” No payment shall be made if the Phase 2 trial start date has not occurred on or before July 15, 2018. Other consideration includes a percentage of revenue (excluding consideration for research and development and equity) received by MacroGenics for license of a product derived from the Raven “Cancer Stem Cell Program” and a onetime payment ranging from $8.0 million to $12.0 million dependent upon a specified level of sales of products derived from the Raven “Cancer Stem Cell Program.”

The contingent consideration will be accounted for as additional purchase price and recorded as incremental in-process research and development expense when and if it is deemed probable that the contingencies will be attained. No additional amounts have been recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

4. Collaboration and License Agreements

Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited

In May 2014, the Company entered into a license and option agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (“Takeda”) for the development and commercialization of MGD010, a product candidate that incorporates the Company’s proprietary Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (“DART”) technology to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins. MGD010 is currently in pre-clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Upon execution of the agreement, Takeda made a non-refundable payment of $15.0 million to the Company. Takeda has an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. The Company will lead all product development activities until that time. If Takeda exercises its option, it will assume responsibility for future development and pay the Company a license option fee that, along with an early development milestone, will total $18.0 million. Assuming successful development and commercialization of MGD010, the Company is eligible to receive up to an additional $468.5 million in development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. If commercialized, the Company would receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and has the option to co-promote MGD010 with Takeda in the United States. Finally, the Company may elect to fund a portion of Phase 3 clinical development in exchange for a North American profit share.

The Company has evaluated the license and option agreement with Takeda and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this license and option agreement include research and development services through the Phase 1a study and delivery of the license for the initial research compound. The Company concluded that the MGD010 option is substantive and that the license fee for this option is not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there is considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised. The Company has determined that each potential future development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time.

Included in this agreement are plans for the parties to enter into good faith negotiations for a separate research agreement related to multiple research compounds. A portion of the $15.0 million upfront payment received upon execution of the MGD010 agreement was allocated to the initial research compound. The portions of the $15.0 million up-front fee allocated to the MGD010 option fee and the license for the initial research compound are reflective of management’s best estimate of selling price had those future licenses been sold separately. Revenue related to the potential license for the initial research compound will be deferred until such time as a research agreement is executed. At such time, revenue will be recognized ratably over the estimated development period. Should a research agreement be executed, the Company will be eligible to receive development, regulatory, and sales milestone payments as well as receive reimbursement for certain research and development expenses.

Table of Contents

The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this agreement include an exclusivity clause to its technology as well as development of MGD010 through completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, because the license does not have stand-alone value to Takeda without the Company’s technical expertise and development. As such, the portion of the initial upfront payment allocated to MGD010 was deferred and is being recognized ratably over the initial 24-month period, which represents the expected period of development through the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study.

The Company recognized revenues of approximately $0.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, $14.6 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $5.0 million of which was current and $9.6 million of which was non-current.

Gilead Sciences, Inc.

In January 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”) for Gilead to obtain exclusive worldwide rights for the research, development and commercialization of up to four DART molecules. For each molecule Gilead chooses to develop, the Company is entitled to receive a license grant fee of $7.5 million and is further eligible to receive up to an additional $20 to $25 million in pre-clinical milestones and up to $240 to $250 million in additional clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. Upon execution of the arrangement, Gilead identified one molecule to develop for which the Company granted Gilead a license in exchange for consideration of $7.5 million.

The Company has determined that the remaining licenses are conditional deliverables, which are substantive options that were not granted with a substantial discount. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Gilead also provides funding for the Company’s internal and external research costs under the agreement. Additionally, Gilead would be obligated to pay the Company high single digit to low double digit royalties on product sales.

The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Gilead and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include a license to its technology and research and development services. The Company concluded that the deliverables do not have stand alone value and therefore, represent a combined single unit of accounting. Due to the lack of standalone value for the license and research and development services, the combined unit of accounting (the upfront payment and the expected research and development reimbursements) is being recognized ratably over a period of 21 months, which represents the expected development period.

The Company and Gilead have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties’ activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. Had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement.

The Company recognized revenues of approximately $2.3 million and $2.0 million under this agreement for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $4.5 million and $3.7 million under this agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No milestones have been achieved under this agreement.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.9 million and $3.6 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, respectively, all of which was current.

Les Laboratoires Servier

In November 2011, the Company entered into a right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Servier (collectively, “Servier”) for the development and commercialization of MGA271 in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India.

Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a non-refundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. The Company is eligible to receive up to $30.0 million in license option fees, $47.0 million in clinical milestone payments, $140.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $208.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises the option, obtains regulatory approval for and successfully commercializes MGA271. The Company concluded that the license option fees are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. In the event Servier exercises its option to continue development of MGA271, Servier must pay a license option fee. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company from low double digit to mid-teen royalties on product sales in its territories.

The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that the option is substantive and that the license fees for this option is not a deliverable at the inception of the arrangement as there is considerable uncertainty that the option would be exercised and the additional fee to be paid upon exercise of the option represents its estimated selling price (i.e., no substantial discount was given). The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan during the first year of the agreement and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that these performance obligations represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company’s technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial upfront payment was deferred and was being recognized ratably over the initial 27-month period, which represented the expected period of development and the Company’s participation on the research and development committee. In January 2014, the Company determined that the development period will last longer than originally estimated, and prospectively adjusted its period of recognition of the upfront payment to a 38-month period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized revenue of $0.2 million and $4.4 million, respectively, under this agreement. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized revenue of $0.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively, under this agreement.

At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, $0.4 million and $0.9 million of revenue remained deferred under this agreement, respectively, all of which was included in current liabilities.

In September 2012, the Company entered into a second right-to-develop collaboration agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART molecules, consisting of those designated by the Company as MGD006 and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India.

Upon execution of the agreement, Servier made a non-refundable payment of $20.0 million to the Company. In addition, the Company became eligible to receive up to $65.0 million in license option fees, $98.0 million in clinical milestone payments, including $5.0 million upon Investigational New Drug (“IND”) acceptance for each of MGD006, MGD007 and a third DART molecule, $300.0 million in regulatory milestone payments and $630.0 million in sales milestone payments if Servier exercises all of the options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license. Through June 30, 2014, the Company has received an additional $15.0 million in license option fees and a $5.0 million milestone payment. In addition to these payments, the Company and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are

no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Under this agreement, Servier would be obligated to pay the Company between high-single digit and mid-teen royalties on net product sales in its territories.

The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Servier and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company concluded that each option is substantive and that the license fees for each option are not deliverables at the inception of the arrangement and were not issued with a substantial discount. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusivity clause to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan during the first year of the agreement and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the pre-clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company’s technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the initial up front license payment was deferred and is being recognized ratably over the initial 29-month period, which represents the expected development period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, Servier exercised its exclusive option to develop and commercialize MGD006. As a result of the exercise, the Company received a $15.0 million payment from Servier for its license to develop and commercialize MGD006 in its territories. Upon exercise of the option, the Company evaluated its performance obligations with respect to the license for MGD006. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its technology, technical, scientific and intellectual property support to the research plan and participation on an executive committee and a research and development committee. The Company determined that the performance obligations with respect to the clinical development represent a single unit of accounting, since the license does not have stand-alone value to Servier without the Company’s technical expertise and committee participation. As such, the $15.0 million license fee was deferred and is being recognized ratably over a period of 82 months, which represents the expected development period for MGD006. In accordance with the agreement, the Company and Servier will share costs incurred to develop MGD006. Reimbursement of research and development expenses received in connection with this collaborative cost-sharing agreement is recorded as a reduction to research and development expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recorded approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million as an offset to research and development costs under this collaboration arrangement, and has recorded a corresponding collaboration receivable, which is included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company recognized revenue of $2.7 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under this agreement. The Company recognized revenue of $10.0 million and $4.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, under this agreement. Revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes the $5.0 million payment from Servier upon the achievement of a clinical milestone related to the IND application for MGD006 clearing the 30-day review period by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). No milestones were recognized under this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

At June 30, 2014, $19.4 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $7.3 million of which was current and $12.1 million of which was non-current. At December 31, 2013, $9.4 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $8.6 million of which was current and $0.8 million of which was non-current.

In July 2014, the IND application for MGD007 cleared the 30-day review period by the FDA. This triggered an additional $5.0 million milestone payment due to the Company by Servier.

Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH

In October 2010 the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (“Boehringer”) to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART molecules which span multiple therapeutic areas. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company granted Boehringer an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, license under its intellectual property to research, develop, and market DARTs generated under the agreement throughout the world.

Table of Contents

Upon execution of the agreement, the Company received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. The Company subsequently received three annual maintenance payments including one in the fourth quarter of 2013. These maintenance payments are being recognized over the estimated period of development. The Company has the potential to earn milestone payments of approximately $41.0 million related to pre-clinical and clinical development, $89.0 million related to regulatory milestones and $83.0 million related to sales milestones for each of the DART programs under this agreement in the case of full commercial success of multiple DART products. The Company has determined that each potential future clinical, development and regulatory milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Boehringer also provides funding for the Company’s internal and external research costs and is required to pay the Company mid-single digit royalties on product sales.

The Company determined that the deliverables under the Boehringer agreement include the license, the research and development services to be performed by the Company, and the co-promotion/manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the co-promotional activities were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the co-promotional period is not included in the expected obligation period to perform services.

The Company concluded that the undelivered element of research and development services had fair value. The Company concluded that the license does not have value on a standalone basis (e.g., absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore does not represent a separate unit of accounting. The Company concluded that because the drug candidate has not yet been developed, the license is of no value to Boehringer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Boehringer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party). Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of account and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through September 2015, which represents the estimated period of development.

The Company and Boehringer have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties’ activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement as the period of participation in this committee matched the obligation period for the research and development services.

The Company recognized revenues of approximately $3.0 million and $2.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $6.0 million and $4.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. At June 30, 2014, $9.3 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $7.0 million of which was current and $2.3 million of which was non-current. At December 31, 2013, $12.8 million of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $7.0 million of which was current and $5.8 million of which was non-current.

There were no material modifications to this agreement since the adoption of ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition – Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, on January 1, 2011.

Pfizer, Inc.

In October 2010, the Company entered into a three year agreement with Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”) to discover, develop and commercialize up to two DART molecules. The Company granted Pfizer a non-exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $5.0 million and has received milestone payments and funding for the Company’s internal and external research costs under the agreement.

The Company is eligible to receive milestone payments of approximately $17.0 million related to pre-clinical and clinical development and $195.0 million related to commercialization and sales milestones for each DART program under this agreement. The Company has determined that each potential future technical and development milestone is substantive. Although sales milestones are not considered substantive, they are still recognized upon achievement of the milestone (assuming all other revenue recognition criteria have been met) because there are no undelivered elements that would preclude revenue recognition at that time. Pfizer is responsible for all pre-clinical and clinical development costs for the program. In addition, Pfizer is required to

Table of Contents

pay the Company mid-single digit to low double digit royalties on product sales. Under this collaboration, one DART program is currently being pursued and the Company completed its research obligations under this program in January 2014.

The Company has evaluated the research collaboration agreement with Pfizer and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables, or performance obligations. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this research collaboration include an exclusive license to its technology, research and development services and manufacturing services. The Company concluded that the manufacturing services were optional and were subject to further negotiation upon reaching regulatory approval. As such, the manufacturing services are not included in the expected obligation period to perform services.

The Company determined that it had fair value of the undelivered element of the research and development services. However, the Company concluded that the license does not have value on a standalone basis (e.g., absent the provision of the research and development services) and therefore does not represent a separate unit of accounting. Facts that were considered included the development of the candidate noting that because the drug candidate has not yet been developed, the license is of no value to Pfizer without the ensuing research and development activities using the DART technology, which is proprietary to the Company. Likewise, Pfizer could not sell the license to another party (without the Company agreeing to provide the research and development activities for the other party). Therefore, the upfront license fee and research and development services were treated as a combined unit of accounting and recognized over the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services through January 2014, which represented the estimated period of development.

The $5.0 million upfront payment received by the Company is non-refundable; therefore, there is no right of return for the license. The Company recognized revenue associated with this non-refundable up-front license fee through the expected obligation period associated with the research and development services, which ended in January 2014.

The Company and Pfizer have also agreed to establish a joint research committee to facilitate the governance and oversight of the parties’ activities under the agreements. Management considered whether participation on the joint committee may be a deliverable and determined that it was not a deliverable because it is a participating right and not an obligation of the Company. However, had management considered participation on the joint committee as a deliverable, it would not have had a material impact on the accounting for the arrangement.

The Company recognized revenues of approximately $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Revenue recognized related to this agreement was de minimis during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, there was no remaining deferred revenue under this agreement.

Green Cross Corporation

In June 2010, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with Green Cross Corp. (“Green Cross”) for the development of the Company’s anti-HER2 antibody margetuximab. This arrangement grants Green Cross an exclusive license to conduct specified Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials and commercialize margetuximab in South Korea. In March 2014, the Company and Green Cross entered into an amendment to the original agreement, causing the terms of the original agreement to be materially modified.

Upon execution of the amendment, the Company became eligible to receive reimbursement for costs incurred for Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials up to $5.5 million as well as clinical development and commercial milestone payments of up to $2.5 million. The Company has determined that each potential clinical development and commercial milestone is substantive. The Company is also entitled to receive royalties on net sales of margetuximab in South Korea. The Company and Green Cross have formed a joint steering committee to coordinate and oversee activities on which the companies collaborate under the agreement.

The Company has evaluated the collaboration agreement with Green Cross and has determined that it is a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables or performance obligations. As a result of the material modification to the arrangement in March 2014, the Company reassessed the entire arrangement in accordance

 

14


Table of Contents

with the guidance provided by ASC 605-25, Multiple Element Arrangements (Revenue Recognition) as the original agreement was accounted for prior to adopting ASU 2009-13. The Company’s substantive performance obligations under this agreement include an exclusive license to its technologies, research and development services, and participation in a joint steering committee. The Company concluded that the license and the reimbursements for research and development services do not have value on a standalone basis and therefore do not represent a separate unit of accounting.

The initial $1.0 million upfront payment received by the Company upon execution of the original agreement is non-refundable; as such, there is no right of return for the license. Therefore, the upfront license fee and participation on the joint steering committee were treated as a combined unit of accounting and will be recognized over the term of the agreement through June 2020. Further, due to the fact the research and development services are not deemed to have stand-alone value, revenue for those services should be recognized over the entire term of the agreement (through June 2020). As a result of reassessing the arrangement in accordance with ASC 605-25, the Company was required to record an adjustment on the date of the material modification to reflect the revenue that would have resulted had the entity applied the requirements of ASC 605-25 from the inception of the agreement. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $1.3 million of revenue during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

The Company recognized revenues of approximately $112,500 and $25,000 under this agreement during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $1.5 million and $50,000 under this agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No milestones were achieved under this agreement during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

At June 30, 2014, there was a $300,000 unbilled receivable balance net of deferred revenue under this agreement, which is included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2013, $650,000 of revenue was deferred under this agreement, $100,000 of which was current and $550,000 of which was non-current.

5. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2000 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (“2000 Plan”) allowed for the grant of awards in respect of an aggregate of 150,297 shares of the Company’s common stock in the form of incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units and other performance awards. The 2000 Plan has expired, and no further awards may be issued under the plan. Any shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2000 Plan that expire, terminate, or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised, or resulting in any common stock being issued, will become available for issuance under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan (“2013 Plan”) up to a specified number of shares.

Effective February 2003, the Company implemented the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (“2003 Plan”), and it was amended and approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2005. The 2003 Plan allowed for the grant of awards in respect of an aggregate of 4,336,731 shares of the Company’s common stock. Stock options granted under the 2003 Plan may be either incentive stock options as defined by the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), or non-qualified stock options. In October 2013 the 2003 Plan was terminated, and no further awards may be issued under the plan. Any shares of common stock subject to awards under the 2003 Plan that expire, terminate, or are otherwise surrendered, canceled, forfeited or repurchased without having been fully exercised, or resulting in any common stock being issued, will become available for issuance under the 2013 Plan, up to a specified number of shares.

In October 2013, the Company implemented the 2013 Plan. The 2013 Plan provides for the grant of stock options and other stock-based awards, as well as cash-based performance awards. The aggregate number of shares of common stock initially available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2013 Plan was 1,960,168 shares. The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each year from January 1, 2014 through and including January 1, 2023, by the lesser of (a) 1,960,168 shares, (b) 4.0% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year, or (c) the number of shares of common stock determined by the Board of Directors. All of the shares available for issuance under the 2013 Plan are eligible for issuance pursuant to the exercise of

incentive stock options. If an option expires or terminates for any reason without having been fully exercised, if any shares of restricted stock are forfeited, or if any award terminates, expires or is settled without all or a portion of the shares of common stock covered by the award being issued, such shares are available for the grant of additional awards. However, any shares that are withheld (or delivered) to pay withholding taxes or to pay the exercise price of an option are not available for the grant of additional awards.

The following stock-based compensation amounts were recognized for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company may be subject to various litigation and related matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes it is not currently subject to any material matters where there is at least a reasonable possibility that a material loss may be incurred.

7. Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per common share is determined by dividing loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common share equivalents outstanding for the period. The treasury stock method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Company’s stock option grants and the if-converted method is used to determine the dilutive effect of the Company’s preferred stock.

Prior to the Company’s initial public offering, net loss per share was calculated under the two-class method under which all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. In the event that the Board of Directors declared a dividend payable in cash or other property on the then-outstanding shares of common stock, the holders of the Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D, and D-2 convertible preferred stock would be entitled to receive the amount of dividends per share of preferred stock that would be payable on the largest number of whole shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could then be converted. Therefore, the Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D and D-2 were participating securities. All of the outstanding shares of Series A-1, A-2, B, C, D, and D-2 convertible preferred stock converted to common stock upon the consummation of the Company’s IPO.

In October 2013, the Company issued 5,750,000 shares of common stock in connection with its IPO and 16,955,790 shares of common stock in connection with the automatic conversion of its convertible preferred stock upon the closing of the IPO. In February 2014, the Company issued 2,250,000 shares of common stock in a follow-on offering. The issuance of these shares resulted in a significant increase in the Company’s weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 when compared to the comparable prior year period and is expected to continue to impact the year-over-year comparability of the Company’s income (loss) per share calculations for the remainder of 2014.

The following common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share allocable to common stockholders because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which have been prepared by us in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, (“GAAP”), for interim periods and with Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with these unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as well as in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and our subsequent Quarterly and Current Reports on Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

Overview

We are a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. We generate our pipeline of product candidates from our proprietary suite of next-generation antibody technology platforms which we believe improve the performance of monoclonal antibodies and antibody-derived molecules. These product candidates, which we have identified through our understanding of disease biology and immune-mediated mechanisms, may address disease-specific challenges, which are not currently being met by existing therapies. The combination of our technology platforms and antibody engineering expertise has allowed us to generate promising product candidates and enter into several strategic collaborations with global pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. These collaborations provide us with funding and allow us to leverage the additional expertise of our collaborators to advance the development of our product candidates.

As of June 30, 2014, we have three oncology product candidates in clinical development and we expect to commence Phase 1 clinical trials on one additional product candidate later in 2014. Two of these programs utilize our Fc-optimization technology and two of them are based on our Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (“DART”) technology. We also intend to advance three additional pre-clinical DART product candidates to Investigational New Drug (“IND”) submission and commence Phase 1 clinical trials with these product candidates in 2015. Key ongoing programs include:

 

    Margetuximab is an Fc-optimized monoclonal antibody that targets HER2-expressing tumors, including breast, gastroesophageal and other cancers. HER2, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, is critical for the growth of many types of tumors. We are currently enrolling a Phase 2a clinical trial in metastatic breast cancer and the planning for the Phase 3 clinical trial in advanced gastroesophageal cancer is ongoing.

 

    MGA271 is an Fc-optimized monoclonal antibody that targets B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of molecules and is over-expressed on a wide variety of solid tumor types. We expect to complete the first three dose expansion cohorts of a Phase 1 clinical trial by the end of 2014. We plan to initiate additional expansion cohorts using MGA271 as monotherapy in other tumor types, as well as combining MGA271 with other therapies for certain tumor types.

 

    MGD006 is a humanized DART molecule that recognizes both CD123, the interleukin-3 receptor (“IL3R”) alpha chain which is expressed on leukemia and leukemic stem cells, but at very low levels if at all on normal hematopoietic stem cells, and CD3, which is expressed on T cells. We initiated our Phase 1 clinical trial with this program in the second quarter of 2014.

 

    MGD007 is a humanized DART molecule that recognizes both the glycoprotein gpA33, expressed on gastrointestinal tumors, including more than 95% of human colon cancers, and CD3, which is expressed on T cells. In July 2014, the IND application for MGD007 was cleared by the FDA. Accordingly, we anticipate starting our Phase I clinical trial with this molecule later this year.

 

    MGD010 is a humanized DART molecule that targets both CD32B, a co-inhibitory molecule, and CD79B, part of the B cell antigen receptor complex, two proteins expressed on the immune system’s B cells.

We commenced active operations in 2000, and have since devoted substantially all of our resources to staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, developing our technology platforms, identifying potential product candidates, undertaking pre-clinical studies and conducting clinical trials. We have not generated any revenues from the sale of any products to date. We have financed our operations primarily through the private placements of convertible preferred stock, the public offerings of our common stock, collaborations, and government grants and contracts. From inception through June 30, 2014, we received $151.3 million from the sale of convertible preferred stock and warrants. We raised $85.6 million ($83.8 million net of expenses and deferred financing costs) in October 2013 through the sale of common stock in connection with our Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. We raised an additional $77.2 million ($76.7 million net of expenses and deferred financing costs) through a follow-on public offering of our common stock and full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in February 2014. In addition, we have received significant non-equity capital from our collaborators in the form of upfront fees, milestone payments, annual maintenance payments and license option fees as well as reimbursement payments through our collaborations and government grants and contracts. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014, combined with the collaboration payments we anticipate receiving, will enable us to fund the clinical development of margetuximab, MGA271, MGD006, MGD007, MGD010 and two additional pre-clinical DART oncology product candidates into 2017, assuming all of our collaboration programs advance as currently contemplated.

Through June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $191.1 million. We expect that over the next several years we will increase our expenditures in research and development in connection with our ongoing activities with several clinical trials.

Strategic Collaborations and Licenses

We have entered into several strategic collaborations which provide us with significant additional funding in order to continue development of our pipeline and to extend our technology platforms and on-going programs. Our collaborations have allowed us to speed up the progress of our on-going pre-clinical and clinical stage programs. Our most significant strategic collaborations include the following:

 

    Takeda. In May 2014, we entered into a license and option agreement with Takeda for the development and commercialization of MGD010, a product candidate that incorporates our proprietary DART technology to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins. MGD010 is currently in pre-clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Upon execution of the agreement, Takeda made a non-refundable payment of $15.0 million to us. Takeda has an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. We will lead all product development activities until that time. If Takeda exercises its option, it will assume responsibility for future development and pay us a license option fee that, when combined with an early development milestone, would total $18.0 million. Assuming successful development and commercialization of MGD010, we are eligible to receive up to an additional $468.5 million in development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. If commercialized, we would receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and have the option to co-promote MGD010 with Takeda in the United States. Finally, we may elect to fund a portion of Phase 3 clinical development in exchange for a North American profit share.

 

    Gilead. In January 2013, we entered into an agreement with Gilead for Gilead to obtain exclusive worldwide rights for the research, development and commercialization of up to four DART molecules. For each molecule Gilead chooses to develop, the Company is entitled to receive an initial $7.5 million license grant fee and is further eligible to receive up to an additional $20 to $25 million in pre-clinical milestones and up to $240 to $250 million in additional clinical, regulatory and sales milestones. Gilead also provides funding for our internal and external research costs under the agreement and we are eligible to receive tiered royalties on the net sales at percentages ranging from the high-single digits to the low double digits subject to reductions in specified circumstances.

 

   

Servier. In November 2011, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Servier under which we granted Servier an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize MGA271 in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. We received a $20.0 million option grant fee and a $10.0 million milestone payment, and

may be eligible to receive up to approximately $415.0 million in license option fees and clinical, development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. In the event Servier exercises its option, Servier must pay a license option fee, which we estimate to be $30.0 million, based on the number of different indications represented within the planned Phase 1 patient population. We and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs.

In September 2012, we entered into a second agreement with Servier and granted it options to obtain three separate exclusive licenses to develop and commercialize DART molecules, consisting of those designated by us as MGD006 and MGD007, as well as a third DART molecule, in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. We received a $20.0 million option grant fee. In addition, we became eligible to receive up to approximately $1 billion in additional license grant fees, and clinical, development, regulatory and sales milestone payments if Servier exercises all three of its options and successfully develops, obtains regulatory approval for, and commercializes a product under each license, including $5.0 million upon IND acceptance for each of MGD006, MGD007 and a third DART molecule. In addition to these milestone payments, we and Servier will share Phase 2 and Phase 3 development costs.

In February 2014, Servier exercised its option to develop and commercialize MGD006, for which we received a $15.0 million license option fee. We also received a $5.0 million milestone payment from Servier in connection with the IND application for MGD006 clearing the 30-day review period by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). In July 2014, the IND application for MGD007 cleared the 30-day review period by the FDA. This triggered an additional $5.0 million milestone payment due to us by Servier.

Additionally, under both agreements, Servier would be obligated to pay us low- to mid-double digit royalties on product sales in its territories.

 

    Boehringer. In October 2010, we entered into an agreement with Boehringer to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART molecules which may span multiple therapeutic areas. We granted Boehringer an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Boehringer nominated a bi-specific antibody therapeutic candidate generated by our DART technology for pre-clinical development. This formal selection of a development candidate triggered a $5.0 million milestone payment to us under the agreement. We have received three annual maintenance payments, including a $4.0 million payment in the fourth quarter of 2013. We have the potential to earn development, regulatory and sales milestone payments that can reach up to approximately $210.0 million for each of the DART programs under this agreement. Boehringer provides funding for our internal and external research costs and is required to pay us mid-single digit royalties on product sales.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The decrease in collaboration revenue of $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 is due to a decrease in revenue recognition related to the Servier MGA271 agreement as the estimated development period, and therefore the revenue recognition period of previously deferred revenues, was extended. Additionally, the Pfizer development period was completed in January 2014. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenue under the Boehringer agreement. The increase in collaboration revenue of $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 is due to the receipt of a $5.0 million milestone payment under our agreement with Servier, revenue recognized related to the Green Cross amendment and related accounting adjustment of $1.3 million (see Note 4 to the financial statements for additional information), increased revenue under the Boehringer agreement and revenue recognized under the Takeda agreement. These increases were partially offset by the decrease in revenue recognition related to the Servier MGA271 agreement and the decrease in revenue under the Pfizer agreement.

Grant revenue decreased in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same periods in 2013 due primarily to less activity on the Dengue virus grant.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 our research and development expense increased by $6.3 million and $10.8 million, respectively, compared to the same period in 2013 due primarily to the initiation of clinical manufacturing of two product candidates and preparations for the margetuximab Phase 3 study and DART product candidate Phase 1 studies.

General and Administrative Expense

The following represents a comparison of our general and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

     Three Months Ended June 30,      Increase/(Decrease)

     (dollars in millions)         

General and administrative expense

   $ 7.4       $ 5.3       $ 2.1         39

General and administrative expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 by $2.6 million and $2.1 million compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to an increase in stock-based compensation expense and increased insurance, professional fees and other costs associated with public company operations in 2014.

Table of Contents

Other Income (Expense)

The change from other expense to other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compare to the same period in 2013 is primarily due to the change in the fair market value of the preferred stock warrant liability in 2013. This liability was settled in connection with our IPO in October 2013.

Cash Flows

The following table represents a summary of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

     Six Months Ended June 30,  
     2014     2013  
     (dollars in millions)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents

   $ 77.5      $ (14.0
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities reflects, among other things, the amounts used to run our clinical trials and pre-clinical activities, including toxicology studies. The difference between net cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and net cash used in operating activities during the same period in 2013 was primarily due to receipt of $20.0 million from Servier in the first quarter of 2014 and $15.0 million from Takeda in the second quarter of 2014, offset by increased spending on contract manufacturing activities and clinical trials.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of additional lab equipment needed to further our research and development activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 includes net proceeds from our follow-on equity offering and cash from stock option exercises. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 includes cash from stock option exercises.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through the private placements of convertible preferred stock, the public offerings of our common stock, upfront fees, milestone payments, annual maintenance payments and license option fees from collaborators and reimbursement through government grants and contracts. As of June 30, 2014, we had $194.0 million in cash and cash equivalents.

In addition to our existing cash and cash equivalents, we expect to continue to receive additional reimbursement from our collaborators for research and development services rendered, additional milestone and opt-in payments and grant revenue. However, our ability to receive these milestone payments is dependent upon our ability to successfully complete specified research and development activities and is therefore uncertain at this time.

Funding Requirements

We have not generated any revenue from product sales to date and do not expect to do so until such time as we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize one or more of our product candidates. As we are currently in the clinical trial stage of development, it will be some time before we expect to achieve this and it is uncertain that we ever will. We expect that we will continue to increase our operating expenses in connection with ongoing as well as additional clinical trials and pre-clinical development of product candidates in our pipeline. We expect to continue our collaboration arrangements and will look for additional collaboration opportunities. We also expect to continue our efforts to pursue additional grants and contracts from the U.S. government in order to further our research and development. Although it is difficult to predict our funding requirements, based upon our current operating plan, we anticipate that our existing cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2014, combined with the collaboration payments we anticipate receiving, will enable us to fund the clinical development of margetuximab, MGA271, MGD006, MGD007, MGD010 and two additional pre-clinical DART oncology product candidates into 2017, assuming all of our collaboration programs advance as currently contemplated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our primary objective when considering our investment activities is to preserve capital in order to fund our operations. Our primary exposure to market risk is related to changes in interest rates. Our current investment policy is to invest principally in deposits and securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, Government Sponsored Enterprise agency debt obligations, corporate debt obligations and money market instruments. As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $194.0 million, of which $26.0 million was invested in money market funds and the remainder was in our corporate operating account. We do not believe that our cash and cash equivalents have significant risk.

GOVERNANCE

 

2.1 Joint Steering Committee.

(a) Formation and Purpose. The Parties agree to establish and convene a Joint Steering Committee (or “JSC”) promptly after the Effective Date. The JSC shall consist of representatives from each Party and operate by the procedures in accordance with this Section 2.1. The purpose of the JSC shall be to provide a forum for the overall coordination, communication and oversight of the Parties’ activities under this Agreement, including the resolution of disputes properly referred to the JSC under this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the specific functions and responsibilities of the JSC will change after Takeda exercises the License Option and may further evolve depending on whether MacroGenics elects to exercise any of the MacroGenics Options.

(b) JSC Decisions and Actions. Actions to be taken by the JSC shall be taken only following unanimous vote, with each Party having one (1) vote. If the JSC fails to reach unanimous agreement on a matter before it for decision for a period in excess of fifteen (15) Business Days from the date first presented to the JSC in writing, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with each Party’s final decision making rights as set forth in this Agreement, including in Sections [***]; provided that if neither Party has final decision making authority with respect to a dispute, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Article 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any unresolved matter for which a Party has final decision making authority, the Party with final decision making authority may exercise its decision making authority prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day resolution period above, where the failure to make a decision would have a material adverse effect on the Development, Manufacture or commercialization of the Compounds or the Products.

(c) JSC Membership. MacroGenics and Takeda shall each designate an equal number of representatives to serve on the JSC by written notices to the other Party. Promptly after the Effective Date, each Party shall designate three (3) such representatives for the JSC. The JSC may elect to vary the number of representatives from time to time during the Term; provided that, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing at the JSC, the JSC shall maintain an equal number of representatives from each Party. Each representative shall have the appropriate level of experience in the subject area of the JSC, and at least one (1) representative shall have sufficient seniority within the applicable Party’s organization to have the necessary decision-making authority in order for the JSC to fulfill its responsibilities. Either Party may designate substitutes for its JSC representatives if one (1) or more of such Party’s designated representatives is unable to be present at a meeting. From time to time each Party may replace its JSC representatives by written notice to the other Party specifying the prior representative(s) and their replacement(s).

(d) JSC Chairperson. The JSC will have a chairperson, to be designated as described below. The chairperson shall be responsible for calling and convening meetings, but shall have no special authority over the other members of the JSC, and shall have no additional voting rights. The chairperson (or its designate) shall: (i) prepare and circulate an agenda reasonably in advance of each upcoming meeting; and (ii) prepare and issue minutes of the JSC meeting within thirty (30) days thereafter. Such minutes shall not be finalized until each JSC representative reviews and approves such minutes in writing; provided that any minutes shall be deemed approved unless a JSC representative objects to the accuracy of such minutes within fifteen (15) days after the circulation of the minutes. MacroGenics shall appoint the initial chairperson to the JSC. A MacroGenics appointee shall be the chairperson throughout the Pre-Option Period. Upon Takeda’s exercise of the License Option, Takeda shall appoint the chairperson to the JSC. A Takeda appointee shall remain the chairperson until such time that the JSC dissolves.

(e) Meetings.

(1) Timing and Frequency. No later than ninety (90) days after the Effective Date, the JSC will hold an in-person meeting to establish the JSC’s operating procedures. During the Pre-Option Period, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the JSC shall meet at least once each Calendar Quarter. In the event Takeda exercises the License Option, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the JSC shall continue to meet at least once every other Calendar Quarter until the First Commercial Sale of a Product in a Major Market at which time the JSC shall dissolve; provided, however, that in the event MacroGenics exercises any of the MacroGenics Options, the JSC shall meet at least once each Calendar Quarter unless otherwise agreed by the Parties. Additional meetings of the JSC may be held with the consent of each Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), as required under this Agreement, or to resolve any dispute referred to the JSC under this Agreement. In the case of any dispute referred to the JSC, such meeting shall be held within ten (10) Business Days following referral to the JSC, or as soon as reasonably possible.

2.2 Additional Subcommittees and Working Groups. The JSC may establish other subcommittees or working groups, as needed to further the purposes of this Agreement, including any responsibilities assigned to the JSC under this Agreement; provided, however, that the JSC shall not delegate its dispute resolution authority. The purpose, scope and procedures of any such subcommittee or working group shall be mutually agreed by the Parties in writing at the JSC.

2.3 Authority.

The JSC, and each subcommittee or working group established by the JSC, shall each have only the powers assigned expressly to the JSC in this Article 2 and elsewhere in this Agreement, and shall not have any power to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement.

2.4 Withdrawal from JSC. At any time after the License Option Exercise, MacroGenics shall have the right to withdraw from participation in the JSC, for any reason, upon written notice to Takeda, which notice shall be effective immediately upon receipt (“Withdrawal Notice”). A communication by MacroGenics to the effect that it will not participate in a specific activity or event of the JSC shall not be deemed a Withdrawal Notice. Following the issuance of a Withdrawal Notice and subject to this Section 2.4, MacroGenics representatives to the JSC shall not participate in a meeting of the JSC (if any), nor shall MacroGenics have any right to vote on decisions within the authority of the JSC. If, at any time following the second anniversary of the issuance of a Withdrawal Notice, MacroGenics wishes to resume participating in the JSC, MacroGenics shall provide Takeda with ninety (90) days prior written notice and, following such notice period, MacroGenics’ representatives to the JSC shall thereafter be entitled to attend any subsequent meeting of the JSC and to participate in the activities of, and decision-making by, the JSC as provided in this Agreement. Following MacroGenics’ issuance of a Withdrawal Notice pursuant to this Section 2.4, unless and until MacroGenics resumes participation in the JSC in accordance with this Section 2.4, the JSC, at Takeda’s discretion, may be dissolved immediately upon Takeda providing written notice to MacroGenics, and thereafter, any requirement of a Party to provide Information or other materials to the JSC shall be deemed a requirement to provide such Information or other materials to Takeda and Takeda shall have the sole right to decide, without consultation with MacroGenics, all matters subject to the review or approval of the JSC hereunder.

(a) Terms of Co-Promotion. Promptly after MacroGenics exercises the Co-Promote Option, the Parties shall enter into good faith negotiations for a separate co-promotion agreement (the “Co-Promotion Agreement”). In addition to such usual and customary terms that are typically found within contract sales force agreements, including with respect to the diligence obligations of MacroGenics, the Co-Promotion Agreement shall include:

(1) MacroGenics’ Detailing Percentage. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, MacroGenics shall contribute [***]. The specific percentage of Details assigned to MacroGenics within such range may vary from Calendar Year-to-Calendar Year and shall be decided upon by consensus at the JSC, taking into consideration MacroGenics’ then-current and future planned commercialization capabilities in light of Takeda’s then-current commercialization forecast in the U.S. Such allocation shall be recorded in the then-current U.S. Commercialization Plan; provided, however, that if the Parties cannot come to a consensus regarding such allocation, [***].

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.


(i) In accordance with the scope of the U.S. Commercialization Plan, Takeda may increase or decrease the overall Details for a Product in a Calendar Year. If Takeda increases the total number of Details in a given Calendar Year, MacroGenics has the right, but not the obligation, to increase its total sales force efforts [***] of its receipt of the notice from Takeda in order to maintain the agreed-upon percentage of Details assigned to MacroGenics. If Takeda decreases the total number of Details in a given Calendar Year, MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make a corresponding decrease in the number of Details to maintain the agreed-upon percentage of Details assigned to MacroGenics.

(2) Fee for Detail. Takeda shall reimburse MacroGenics for the Details performed by MacroGenics at a reasonable fee-per-Detail basis to be agreed upon by the Parties and as measured by a Third Party.

(3) Audit Right. Each Party shall have the right to audit the other Party’s records regarding MacroGenics’ performance under the Co-Promotion Agreement, solely for the purpose of determining the other Party’s compliance with the Co-Promotion Agreement.

(4) Termination of Co-Promotion Agreement. MacroGenics may terminate the Co-Promotion Agreement by [***] prior written notice to Takeda. The Co-Promotion Agreement shall be subordinate to and coterminous with this Agreement.

(5) Promotional Materials and Samples. Except for MacroGenics’ name and the trademarks listed on Exhibit B-1, as well as logos and trademarks Controlled by MacroGenics which, in each case, are not associated with a Product) Takeda shall remain solely responsible for the production of Product labeling and Promotional Materials, the training and testing materials for all sales representatives (including those acting on behalf of MacroGenics), and restrictions with respect to the ability of such sales representatives to Detail other products. MacroGenics’ sales representatives shall only use Promotional Materials provided by Takeda, without alteration. Takeda will provide to MacroGenics, at Takeda’s expense, reasonable quantities of Promotional Materials and product samples and/or sample vouchers for the Products to support MacroGenics’ co-promotion activities. Takeda shall not use MacroGenics’ name and the trademarks listed on Exhibit B-1, as well as logos and trademarks Controlled by MacroGenics which, in each case, are not associated with a Product without MacroGenics written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(6) Training and Related MacroGenics Sales Force Issues. Takeda will be responsible for designing training materials. Takeda shall provide initial training to MacroGenics’ sales managers and trainers (i.e., “train-the-trainer”) at Takeda’s expense. Thereafter, MacroGenics and Takeda will each be responsible, each at its own expense, for conducting training of their own sales forces. Takeda will ship training materials to MacroGenics as reasonably required for MacroGenics’ ongoing training needs at MacroGenics’ expense.

ARTICLE 8

CONSIDERATION

8.1 Upfront Payment. Upon execution of this Agreement, MacroGenics shall submit to Takeda an invoice for payment of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) as a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable upfront payment. Takeda shall remit such upfront payment within fifteen (15) Business Days of such invoice.

8.2 License Option Fee. If Takeda executes the License Option Exercise (and the Parties have received any necessary clearance from the applicable Governmental Authorities), MacroGenics shall submit to Takeda an invoice for payment of a one-time, non-creditable and non-refundable payment for the License Option Exercise in the amount set forth in Section 8.2(a) (“License Option Fee”). Takeda shall remit payment for such License Option Fee within ten (10) Business Days of such invoice. For sake of clarity, no License Option Fee under this Section 8.2 shall be paid under this Agreement in the event Takeda does not execute the License Option Exercise.

(a) Amount of License Option Fee. Subject to any adjustments made pursuant to Section 3.4(d), the Licensee Option Fee shall be [***].

8.3 Milestone Payments. Except for the First Development Milestone, Takeda will promptly notify MacroGenics following the achievement of each milestone event set forth below. Thereafter, MacroGenics shall submit to Takeda an invoice for the corresponding milestone payment set forth below. Notwithstanding the forgoing, with respect to the First Development Milestone, MacroGenics shall promptly notify Takeda following the achievement of such milestone event and thereafter submit an invoice to Takeda for such milestone. Within thirty (30) days of Takeda’s receipt of any such invoice, Takeda shall remit the applicable milestone payment to MacroGenics. Each milestone payment by Takeda pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be payable only once, regardless of the number of times that such milestone event is achieved for a Product. If development of a first Product is discontinued prior to the time at which a milestone payment pursuant to this Section 8.3 is made with respect to a subsequent Product, then the achievement by such subsequent Product of any milestone event for which such first Product did not achieve a milestone payment under this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to be the first achievement of such milestone event under this Section 8.3. Without limiting the foregoing, the Other Indication Milestones shall be payable on an Other Indication-by-Other Indication basis for each separate Other Indication regardless of the number of Other Indications. In addition, if for any reason a milestone event corresponding to a milestone payment in the tables below does not occur prior to the occurrence of the next sequential milestone event in the tables below (e.g. a First Commercial Sale milestone occurs and the Phase III milestone has not occurred), then such prior non-occurring milestone event shall be deemed to occur concurrently with the occurrence of such next sequential milestone event. For the avoidance of doubt, a First Commercial Sale in any one country or jurisdiction shall not be deemed to trigger any milestone payment in any other country or jurisdiction.

(a) General Royalties. In the event MacroGenics does not exercise the Co-Funding Option or the Co-Funding Term is terminated by Takeda pursuant to Section 7.2(f) (failure to pay Phase III Trial Expenses), Takeda shall pay to MacroGenics royalties at the following royalty rates on the aggregate annual Net Sales of the Products in the Territory.

8.5 Royalty Term. Royalties under Section 8.4 shall be payable on Net Sales on a country-by-country basis beginning upon the First Commercial Sale of a Product in a country in the Territory until the expiration of the Royalty Term in such country (at which time sales in such country shall be excluded from all calculations of aggregate Net Sales hereunder). Following the expiration of the Royalty Term with respect to a Product in a country of the Territory, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Takeda shall have a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully-paid and royalty-free right and license, with the right to grant sublicenses, under the MacroGenics Technology to Exploit such Product in the Field in such country of the Territory.

8.6 Reduction For Biosimilar Entry In A Country. The royalty rates set forth in Section 8.4 for Net Sales in a country of the Territory [***] in each Calendar Quarter during which the [***] in such country is [***] and [***] and [***] in each Calendar Quarter during which the [***] in such country is [***].

8.7 Manner of Royalty Payment. Within forty five (45) days following the end of each Calendar Quarter after the First Commercial Sale of a Product in the Territory (but, excluding a First Commercial Sale in North America, if such sale occurs during the Co-Funding Term), Takeda shall provide MacroGenics with a report containing the following information for the applicable Calendar Quarter: the amount of gross sales of Product in the Territory (excluding North America during the Co-Funding Term), an itemized calculation of Net Sales in the Territory (excluding North America during the Co-Funding Term) showing deductions, provided for in the definition of “Net Sales,” a calculation of the royalty payment due on such sales, an accounting of the number of units and prices for Product sold, the exchange rate for each country in which Product was sold (excluding North America during the Co-Funding Term), the application of the reductions, if any, made in accordance with the terms of Section 8.6 or Section 8.9. Takeda shall pay all amounts due to MacroGenics pursuant to Section 8.4 with respect to Net Sales by Takeda, its Affiliates and their respective sublicensees for such Calendar Quarter at the time of the submission of such quarterly report. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars owed to a Party under this Agreement shall be the monthly average exchange rate between each currency of origin and U.S. Dollars as reported by Bloomberg or an equivalent resource as agreed by the Parties.

8.8 Allocation of N.A. Profit. During the Co-Funding Term, N.A. Profit for each Product shall be allocated as [***] to Takeda and [***] to MacroGenics.

(a) Expense Report. Within two (2) Business Days after the end of each Calendar Quarter following the First Commercial Sale in North America during the Co-Funding Term, each Party shall submit to the other Party a written “flash report” of its estimated Commercialization Expenses incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter following the First Commercial Sale in North America during the Co-Funding Term, each Party shall submit to the other Party a written report setting forth in reasonable detail the Commercialization Expenses incurred by such Party during such Calendar Quarter; provided that the Commercialization Expenses incurred by either Party before the First Commercial Sale in North America, shallbe included in the first Commercialization Expense report submitted by the Parties. Each Party shall have the right to review and submit any reasonable objection to the Commercialization Expenses set forth in the other Party’s report within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of the Commercialization Expenses report from the other Party. If a Party fails to object to a Commercialization Expense submitted by the other Party within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Commercialization Expense shall be included in the Quarterly N.A. Profit Report for such Calendar Quarter. For avoidance of doubt, failure by a Party to object to a Commercialization Expense under this Section 8.8 shall not affect such Party’s rights under Section 8.11 to audit and contest the accuracy or correctness of any records of the other Party or amounts owed or amounts paid pursuant to this Agreement. Disputes with respect to a Commercialization Expense that are not resolved by the Parties within ten (10) Business Days after such dispute is first raised, shall be referred to the JSC for resolution. For the avoidance of doubt, [***] with respect to whether the amount of the Commercialization Expense [***].

(b) N.A. Profit Reports. Within sixty (60) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter following the First Commercial Sale of a Product in North America, and for the remainder of the Co-Funding Term, Takeda shall submit to MacroGenics a report setting forth in reasonable detail all non-disputed Commercialization Expenses incurred by the Parties during the previous Calendar Quarter, along with all prior disputed Commercialization Expenses, where the dispute regarding such Commercialization Expense was resolved during the immediately preceding Calendar Quarter, a statement of the amount of Net Sales of Products in North America during such Calendar Quarter and an allocation of profits or losses between the Parties (the “Quarterly N.A. Profit Report”). Takeda shall pay all amounts due to MacroGenics pursuant to this Section 8.8 at the time of submission of the Quarterly N.A. Profit Report; provided, however, that if the Quarterly N.A. Profit Report indicates a loss for such Calendar Quarter, MacroGenics shall pay the amount due to Takeda pursuant to this Section 8.8 within twenty (20) Business Days following its receipt of such Quarterly N.A. Profit Report. The rate of exchange to be used in computing the amount of currency equivalent in Dollars owed to a Party under this Agreement shall be the monthly average exchange rate between each currency of origin and U.S. Dollars as reported by Bloomberg or an equivalent resource as agreed to by the Parties.

(1) Treatment of Pre-Launch Commercialization Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 8.8, the first (1st) Quarterly N.A. Profit Report shall not contain all Pre-Launch Commercialization Expenses. Rather, the Pre-Launch Commercialization Expenses shall be distributed evenly between the [***], such that each of the [***] shall include [***] of the total Pre-Launch Commercialization Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.8(b)(1) shall alter the allocation of the N.A. Profit between the Parties as set forth in the first sentence of Section 8.8.

(a) [***] shall be solely responsible for the payment of any royalties, sublicense revenues, milestones or other payments due to Third Parties arising with respect to the Exploitation of a Compound or a Product in the Field in the Territory (“Third Party Obligation”): (1) [***] such Third Party Obligation [***] of the License Option, regardless if the terms or conditions of such Third Party Obligation have been agreed upon with such Third Party [***]; (2) which are owed to [***]; provided, that such Third Party Obligations arise from or are related to [***].

(b) The Parties shall each be responsible for [***] of any Third Party Obligation [***] such Third Party Obligation [***]. At [***] of any Third Party Obligation owed pursuant to this Section 8.9(b), and which is paid by [***] under this Article 8. Takeda shall [*** ] during any Calendar Quarter for which milestones, royalties or profit split are payable hereunder; provided, that in no event will such [***] payable to MacroGenics for such Calendar Quarter [***]. [***]of such Third Party Obligations that remains [***] due to the application [***] may be [***] Calendar Quarters.

(c) [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Takeda shall be solely responsible for any Third Party Obligations arising from a [***]; provided, however, in the event that MacroGenics exercises the Co-Funding Option, to the extent such Third Party Obligation is reasonably attributable to the sale of Products in North America, such Third Party Obligation (or any allocable portion thereof) shall be deemed a Manufacturing Expense for the purposes of determining the N.A. Profits.

8.10 Taxes

(a) Cooperation and Coordination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that it is their mutual objective and intent to appropriately calculate, to the extent feasible and legal, taxes payable with respect to their collaborative efforts under this Agreement and that they shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and coordinate with each other to achieve such objective.

(b) Payment of Tax. A Party receiving a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall pay any and all taxes levied on such payment. If Applicable Law requires that taxes be deducted and withheld from a payment made pursuant to this Article 8, the remitting Party shall: (1) deduct those taxes from the payment; (2) pay the taxes to the proper taxing authority; and (3) send evidence of the obligation together with proof of payment to the other Party within sixty (60) days following that payment.

(c) Tax Residence Certificate. A Party receiving a payment pursuant to this Article 8 shall provide the remitting Party appropriate certification from relevant revenue authorities that such Party is a tax resident of that jurisdiction, if such receiving Party wishes to claim the benefits of an income tax treaty to which that jurisdiction is a party. Upon the receipt thereof, any deduction and withholding of taxes shall be made at the appropriate treaty tax rate.

(d) Assessment. Either Party may, at its own expense, protest any assessment, proposed assessment, or other claim by any Governmental Authority for any additional amount of taxes, interest or penalties or seek a refund of such amounts paid if permitted to do so by Applicable Law. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in any protest by providing records and such additional information as may reasonably be necessary for a Party to pursue such protest.

(e) Assignment. If Takeda assigns its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate or Third Party in compliance with Section 15.4 and if such Affiliate or Third Party shall be required by Applicable Law to withhold any additional taxes from or in respect of any amount payable under this Agreement as a result of such assignment, then any such amount payable under this Agreement shall be increased to take into account the additional taxes withheld as may be necessary so that, after making all required withholdings, MacroGenics receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such assignment been made. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to any additional taxes withheld for which MacroGenics may obtain a foreign tax credit.

8.11 Audit. Each Party shall maintain complete and accurate records in sufficient detail to permit the other Party to confirm the accuracy of the calculation of royalties, milestones, profits, losses, Phase III Trial Expenses, and other payments under this Agreement. Upon reasonable prior notice, but not more than once per Calendar Year, such records shall be available during regular business hours for a period of three (3) years from the end of the Calendar Year to which they pertain for examination at the expense of the requesting Party by an independent certified public accountant selected by the requesting Party and reasonably acceptable to the other Party, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the financial reports and correctness of the payments furnished by the other Party pursuant to this Agreement.

Any amounts shown to have been overpaid shall be refunded within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report. The requesting Party shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by the other Party of more than [***] of the amount due, in which case the other Party shall bear the full cost of such audit.

8.12 Late Payment. All payments due to a Party hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the receiving Party. If a Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to such Party until the date of payment at the per annum rate of two percent (2%) over the then-current prime rate quoted by Citibank in New York City or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower.

To the extent any MacroGenics Platform Patent discloses subject matter which may be patentable as a Product Claim, such Product Claims shall be pursued under a separate patent application and such separate application shall be deemed a MacroGenics Product Patent.

(b) MacroGenics Product Patents.

(1) Pre-Option Period Prosecution. The rights and obligations of this Section 9.3(b)(1) shall only apply to the Parties during the Pre-Option Period. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.3(b)(1), MacroGenics shall have the sole right and authority to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the MacroGenics Product Patents on a worldwide basis at its own expense (subject to Section 9.3(b)(1)(ii)). MacroGenics shall provide Takeda a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on its efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain MacroGenics Product Patents in the Territory, including by providing Takeda with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding any MacroGenics Product Patent in the Territory, and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses. MacroGenics shall consider Takeda’s comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith.

(i) Takeda Jurisdiction Selection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 9.3(b)(1)(ii) below, MacroGenics agrees that it shall prepare, file, prosecute and/or maintain the MacroGenics Product Patents in any jurisdiction requested by Takeda to the extent, and as much as, permitted under Applicable Law. If MacroGenics determines in its discretion not to prepare and file any previously unfiled MacroGenics Product Patent in a jurisdiction so requested by Takeda or to abandon or not maintain any previously filed MacroGenics Product Patent, then, in each case, MacroGenics shall provide Takeda with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow Takeda to determine, in its discretion, its interest in the preparation and filing of such previously unfiled MacroGenics Product Patent or the continuation of prosecution or maintenance of such previously filed MacroGenics Product Patent. MacroGenics shall give such notice no later than sixty (60) days prior to any final deadline for the preparation and filing of a patent application necessary to establish or maintain priority or any pending action or response that may be due with respect to a previously filed MacroGenics Product Patent with the applicable patent authority.

Takeda shall provide MacroGenics a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on its efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain MacroGenics Product Patents in the Territory, including by providing MacroGenics with a copy of material communications from any patent authority regarding any MacroGenics Product Patent in the Territory, and by providing drafts of any material filings or responses to be made to such patent authorities in advance of submitting such filings or responses. Takeda shall consider MacroGenics’ comments regarding such communications and drafts in good faith. If Takeda determines in its discretion to abandon or not maintain any MacroGenics Product Patent that is being prosecuted or maintained by Takeda in the Territory, then Takeda shall provide MacroGenics with written notice of such determination within a period of time reasonably necessary to allow MacroGenics determine, in its discretion, its interest in such MacroGenics Product Patent (which notice by Takeda shall be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to the final deadline for any pending action or response that may be due with respect to such MacroGenics Product Patent with the applicable patent authority). If MacroGenics provides written notice expressing its interest in regaining control over such MacroGenics Product Patent, Takeda shall, free of charge, transfer to MacroGenics the control of such MacroGenics Product Patent in the Territory and such MacroGenics Product Patent shall be terminated with respect to the Takeda license. Upon the termination under this Section 9.4(b)(2) of a MacroGenics Patent under the Takeda License, all rights and licenses granted herein to Takeda with respect to such MacroGenics Patent shall terminate.

(i) To the extent any MacroGenics Platform Patent discloses subject matter which may be patentable as a Product Claim and Takeda desires, after the License Option Exercise, to prosecute such Product Claims in a separate patent application as a MacroGenics Product Patent, MacroGenics shall reasonably cooperate with Takeda’s efforts to file such MacroGenics Product Patent, including filing any documentation required by any patent office or patent authority in order to establish the appropriate priority to the MacroGenics Platform Patent.

Takeda, in its sole discretion, may terminate the Takeda License with respect to any MacroGenics Patent which is the basis of a MacroGenics Patent Extension within sixty (60) days of receiving written notice from MacroGenics of the award of such MacroGenics Patent Extension. Upon the termination under this Section 9.4 of a MacroGenics Patent under the Takeda License, all rights and licenses granted herein to Takeda with respect to such MacroGenics Patent shall terminate; provided, however, that MacroGenics shall grant to Takeda a covenant not to sue with respect to such MacroGenics Patent. The Party that does not apply for a Patent Extension hereunder will cooperate fully with the other Party in making such filings or actions, including making available all required regulatory data and Information and executing any required authorizations to apply for such Patent Extension. All expenses incurred in connection with activities of each Party with respect to the Patent(s) for which such Party seeks Patent Extension pursuant to this Section 9.4 shall be entirely borne by such Party.

9.5 Infringement of Patents by Third Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Takeda shall not initiate any such suit or take such other action with respect to any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent without first consulting with MacroGenics and giving good faith consideration to any reasonable objection from MacroGenics regarding Takeda’s proposed course of action, and Takeda shall not initiate any such suit or take such other action with respect to a MacroGenics Platform Patent without the prior written consent of MacroGenics, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Should MacroGenics reasonably withhold such consent, MacroGenics shall keep Takeda reasonably informed of any enforcement efforts with respect to the MacroGenics Platform Patents and shall consider Takeda’s comments regarding such enforcement in good faith. MacroGenics shall cooperate in the prosecution of any suit under this Section 9.5 as may be reasonably requested by Takeda.

(6) The Party not bringing an action with respect to infringement in the Territory under this Section 9.5(b) shall be entitled to separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party shall at all times cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action.

(7) Settlement. Neither Party shall settle any claim, suit or action that it brought under this Section 9.5 involving MacroGenics Patents or Joint Patents without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(c) Infringement of Takeda Patents. For any and all infringement of any Takeda Patent, Takeda shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to bring, at Takeda’s expense and in its sole control, an appropriate suit or other action against any person or entity engaged in such infringement of the Takeda Patent and to retain [***] of any recovery in connection with such suit or other action (after reimbursing MacroGenics for any of its expenses in connection with its assistance provided in accordance with Section 9.5(b)(4)).

(d) Allocation of Proceeds. The rights and obligations of this Section 9.5(d) shall only apply to the Parties after the License Option Exercise. If either Party recovers monetary damages from any Third Party in a suit or action brought under Section 9.5(b) or 9.7(a) or any royalties, milestones or other payments from a license agreement with a Third Party related to any alleged infringement related to a Product, whether such damages or royalties result from the infringement of MacroGenics Patents or Joint Patents, such recovery (“Infringement Recovery”) shall be allocated first to the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by the Parties in such litigation, action or license negotiations, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated: (1) with respect to an Infringement Recovery in North America during the Co-Funding Term, [***] to MacroGenics, or (2) either outside North America or after the Co-Funding Term or if no Co-Funding Term existed, then (i) if the Infringement Recovery is based on lost profits, an amount equal to the royalty that would be payable pursuant to Section 8.4(a), 8.4(b) or 8.4(c), as applicable on the

In the event a compensatory Infringement Recovery (i.e., includes other than punitive, treble or other extraordinary damages that are subject to Section 9.5(d)(2)(iii)) is not designated as either “lost profits” or a “reasonable royalty,” the Infringement Recovery shall be allocated between the Parties in accordance with Section 9.5(d)(2)(ii).

9.6 Infringement of Third Party Rights in the Territory.

(a) Notice. If any Product used or sold by either Party, its Affiliates, or sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, the Party first having notice of the claim or assertion shall promptly notify the other Party.

(b) Defense. Takeda shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend any such Third Party claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent as described in Section 9.6(a) above, at Takeda’s expense. If Takeda does not commence actions to defend such claim within [***] after it receives notice thereof (or within [***] after it should have given notice thereof to MacroGenics as required by Section 9.6(a)), then to the extent allowed by Applicable Law, MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to control the defense of such claim by counsel of its choice, at MacroGenics’ expense. The non-defending Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Party conducting the defense of the claim or assertion, including if required to conduct such defense, furnishing a power of attorney.

(c) Settlement; Licenses. Neither Party shall enter into any settlement of any claim described in this Section 9.6 that affects the other Party’s rights or interests without such other Party’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Each Party shall have the right to decline to defend or to tender defense of any claim described in this Section 9.6 upon reasonable notice to the other Party, including if the other Party fails to agree to a settlement that the declining Party proposes. In the event that it is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction that the research, Development, Manufacture, distribution, use, sale, import, export or other commercialization of a Product, conducted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, infringes, or Takeda determines reasonably and in good faith that such activities are likely to infringe, any Patent, copyright, trademark, data exclusivity right or trade secret right arising under Applicable Law of any Third Party, Takeda shall use

Commercially Reasonable Efforts to: (1) procure a license from such Third Party authorizing Takeda to continue to conduct such activities; or (2) modify such activities so as to render it non-infringing. To the extent such a license relates to the commercialization of a Product, the cost of such license shall be considered a Third Party Obligation and allocated between the Parties in accordance with Section 8.9. In the event that Takeda decides that neither of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available or commercially feasible, Takeda may, at its discretion, terminate this Agreement for the Product affected in accordance with Section 12.2.

9.7 Patent Oppositions and Other Proceedings.

(a) Third-Party Patent Rights. If either Party desires to bring an opposition, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference, declaration for non-infringement, reexamination or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability of a Patent owned or controlled by a Third Party and having one or more claims that Cover a Product, or the use, sale, offer for sale or importation of a Product (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement under Section 9.6, in which case the provisions of Section 9.6 shall govern), such Party shall so notify the other Party and the Parties shall promptly confer to determine whether to bring such action or the manner in which to settle such action. Takeda shall have the initial right, but not the obligation, to bring, at its own expense and in its sole control, such action in the Territory. If Takeda does not bring such an action in the Territory, within [***] of notification thereof pursuant to this Section 9.7(a) (or earlier, if required by the nature of the proceeding), then MacroGenics shall have the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at MacroGenics’ own expense, such action. The Party not bringing an action under this Section 9.7(a) shall be entitled to separate representation in such proceeding by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, and shall cooperate fully with the Party bringing such action. Any awards or amounts received in bringing any such action shall be first allocated to reimburse the initiating Party’s expenses in such action, and any remaining amounts shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5(d).

(b) Parties’ Patent Rights. If any MacroGenics Product Patent or Joint Patent becomes the subject of any proceeding commenced by a Third Party within the Territory in connection with an opposition, reexamination request, action for declaratory judgment, nullity action, interference or other attack upon the validity, title or enforceability thereof (a “Third Party Patent Challenge”) (except insofar as such action is a counterclaim to or defense of, or accompanies a defense of, an action for infringement against a Third Party under Section 9.5, in which case the provisions of Section 9.5 shall govern), then the Party responsible for filing, preparing, prosecuting and maintaining such Patent as set forth in Section 9.3 hereof, shall control such defense at its own expense. The controlling Party shall permit the non-controlling Party to participate in the proceeding to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, and to be represented by its own counsel in such proceeding, at the non-controlling Party’s expense. If either Party decides that it does not wish to defend against such action, then the other Party shall have a backup right to assume defense of such Third-Party action at its own expense. Any awards or amounts received in defending any such Third-Party action shall be allocated between the Parties as provided in Section 9.5(d). MacroGenics shall have the sole discretion whether to defend and shall solely control any defense of a Platform Patent which is the subject of a Third Party Patent Challenge; provided that MacroGenics shall keep Takeda reasonably informed regarding such enforcement and shall consider Takeda’s comments regarding such enforcement in good faith.

9.8 Exclusivity. For the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the [***] of the License Option Exercise, except to the extent required for MacroGenics to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or for Takeda to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, neither Party nor any of their Affiliates, either directly or with or through a Third Party, [***]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 9.8 solely as a result of activities conducted by a Third Party licensee, sublicensee or collaborator of such Party if (a) the conduct of such activities by such Third Party violates the terms of the applicable agreement between such Party and such Third Party and (b) such Party uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to enforce the terms of such agreement against such Third Party, including bringing an action against such Third Party in accordance with the dispute resolution procedures set forth in such Party’s agreement with the Third Party and which may also include termination of its agreement with such Third Party. Subject to Section 15.4, in the event of an acquisition of a Party or its assets or equity by a Third Party, the prohibitions set forth in this Section 9.8 shall not apply to the extent a breach of this Section 9.8 would result from an activity or conduct by such Third Party where such Third Party was engaged in such activity or conduct prior to such acquisition. For the avoidance of doubt, such Third Party acquirer (or any successor entity thereto) shall be prohibited, pursuant to this Section 9.8, from using any intellectual property licensed to the acquired Party under this Agreement in connection with the Third Party acquirer’s pre-acquisition activity or conduct.

11.1 Nondisclosure. Each Party agrees that, during the Term and for a period of [***] years thereafter, a Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall: (a) maintain in confidence such Confidential Information using not less than the efforts such Receiving Party uses to maintain in confidence its own confidential or proprietary Information of similar kind and value, (b) not disclose such Confidential Information to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except for disclosures expressly permitted below, and (c) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except those permitted by this Agreement (it being understood that this Section 11.1 shall not create or imply any rights or licenses not expressly granted under this Agreement).

(g) to its Affiliates, sublicensees or prospective sublicensees, subcontractors or prospective subcontractors, consultants, agents and advisors on a “need-to-know” basis in order for the Receiving Party to exercise its rights or fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, each of whom prior to disclosure must be bound by obligations of confidentiality and restrictions on use of such Confidential Information that are no less restrictive than those set forth in this Article 11; provided, however, that, in each of the above situations, the Receiving Party shall remain responsible for any failure by any Person who receives Confidential Information pursuant to this Section 11.3(g) to treat such Confidential Information as required under this Article 11.

(h) If and whenever any Confidential Information is disclosed in accordance with this Section 11.3, such disclosure shall not cause any such information to cease to be Confidential Information except to the extent that such disclosure results in a public disclosure of such information (other than by breach of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Party is required to make a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 11.3, it will, except where impracticable, give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure and use not less than the same efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information as it would to protect its own confidential information from disclosure.

11.4 Terms of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and all of the respective terms of this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information of both Parties subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(f), 11.3(g) and 11.6.

The Party making such filing shall cooperate in good faith with the other Party to obtain confidential treatment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any related Agreements between the Parties that the other Party reasonably requests be kept confidential or otherwise afforded confidential treatment, and shall only disclose Confidential Information that it is reasonably advised by outside counsel is legally required to be disclosed. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party may be required by securities regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, or advised by such other Party’s outside counsel that the financial terms, including the milestone amounts and/or royalty rates must be included in such filings. No such notice shall be required if the description of or reference to this Agreement or a related agreement between the Parties contained in the proposed filing has been included in any previous filing made by either Party in accordance with this Section 11.6 or otherwise approved by the other Party.

11.7 Relationship to Confidentiality Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement between MacroGenics and TPI, effective as of June 27, 2012, and as subsequently amended; provided however, that all “Confidential Information” disclosed or received by the Parties and their Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11.8 Equitable Relief. Given the nature of the Confidential Information and the competitive damage that could result to a Party upon unauthorized disclosure, use or transfer of its Confidential Information to any Third Party, the Parties agree that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article 11. In addition to all other remedies, a Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Article 11.

12.3 Termination for Material Breach.

(a) Either Party (the Non-breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, or on an country-by-country and Product-by-Product basis, in the event the other Party (the Breaching Party”) has materially breached this Agreement, and such material breach has not been cured within [***] after receipt of written notice of such breach by the Breaching Party from the Non-Breaching Party (the “Cure Period”). The written notice describing the alleged material breach shall provide sufficient detail to put the Breaching Party on notice of such material breach. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) shall become effective at the end of the Cure Period, unless the Breaching Party has cured any such material breach prior to the expiration of such Cure Period, or, if such material breach is not reasonably susceptible to cure within the Cure Period, then, the Non-Breaching Party’s right of termination shall be suspended only if, and for so long as, the Breaching Party has provided to the Non-Breaching Party a written plan that is reasonably calculated to effect a cure of such material breach in a prompt manner as is reasonably practical, but in no event longer than [***] following the unextended expiration of the Cure Period, such plan is accepted by the Non-Breaching Party (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Breaching Party commits to and carries out such plan as provided to the Non-Breaching Party in the timelines set forth in such plan. The right of either Party to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.3(a) shall not be affected in any way by such Party’s waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous breach under this Agreement.

(b) If the Parties reasonably and in good faith disagree as to whether there has been a material breach, the Party that disputes whether there has been a material breach may contest the allegation in accordance with Article 13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 12.3(a), the Cure Period for any Dispute will run from the date that written notice was first provided to the Breaching Party by the Non-Breaching Party through the resolution of such Dispute pursuant to Article 13, and it is understood and acknowledged that, during the pendency of a Dispute pursuant this Section 12.3(b), all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect, and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations under this Agreement, except that all payment obligations from one Party to the other Party under this Agreement which are subject to the Dispute shall be tolled until the resolution of such Dispute in accordance with Section 13.6.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to termination pursuant this Section 12.4, Takeda shall be relieved from making any milestone payments to MacroGenics under Article 8 regarding such Product to the extent a milestone trigger event occurs after Takeda provides MacroGenics with a notice of termination hereunder.

12.5 Termination for Patent Challenge. Either Party may terminate this entire Agreement, at any time after the Effective Date, with respect to a Product in the Territory upon providing written notice to the other Party, if the other Party, or any of the other Party’s Affiliates or sublicensees, directly, or indirectly through assistance granted to a Third Party, commences any interference or opposition proceeding, challenges the validity or enforceability of, or opposes any extension of or the grant of a supplementary protection certificate with respect to: (a) in the case of Takeda or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, any MacroGenics Patent, and (b) in the case of MacroGenics or any of its Affiliates or sublicensees, any Takeda Patent (each such action, a Patent Challenge”). Takeda shall include provisions in all agreements granting sublicenses of MacroGenics Patents or Joint Patents providing that, if the sublicensee undertakes a Patent Challenge with respect to any MacroGenics Patent or Joint Patent which has been sublicensed to the sublicensee, Takeda may terminate such sublicense agreement. MacroGenics will include provisions in all agreements granting sublicenses of Takeda Patents or Joint Patents providing that, if the sublicensee undertakes a Patent Challenge with respect to any Takeda Patent or Joint Patents which has been sublicensed to the sublicensee, MacroGenics may terminate such sublicense agreement.

12.6 Termination for Bankruptcy.

(a) Either Party may terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon providing written notice to the other Party on or after the time that such other Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, files an insolvency petition in bankruptcy, petitions for or acquiesces in the appointment of any receiver, trustee or similar officer to liquidate or conserve its business or any substantial part of its assets, commences under the laws of any jurisdiction any proceeding involving its insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, adjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or any other similar proceeding for the release of financially distressed debtors, or becomes a party to any proceeding or action of the type described above, and such proceeding or action remains un-dismissed or un-stayed for a period of more than [***].

(b) All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the U.S. Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the U.S. (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws), licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided pursuant to such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee) shall perform all of the obligations in this Agreement intended to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, and the non-bankrupt Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided for under the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the non-bankrupt Party copies of all Patents and Information necessary for the non-bankrupt Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws. In particular, it is the intention and understanding of the Parties to this Agreement that the rights granted to the Parties under this Section 12.6 are essential to the Parties’ respective businesses and the Parties acknowledge that damages are not an adequate remedy.

12.7 Effects of Termination. All of the following effects of termination are in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to either of the Parties under this Agreement and shall not be construed to limit any such rights or remedies. In the event this Agreement is not terminated in its entirety, but rather is terminated on a Product-by-Product or country-by-country basis with respect to one or more Products (the “Terminated Product”) in a particular country (the “Terminated Country”), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 12.7(a) or 12.7(b), the consequences of termination described under this Section 12.7 shall only apply to the Terminated Product in the Terminated Country, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms with respect to all Products other than the Terminated Products, in all countries of the Territory other than the Terminated Countries.

(a) Consequences of Termination by MacroGenics or Takeda. In the event of termination of this Agreement by: (i) MacroGenics pursuant to Section 12.3, Section 12.5, Section 12.6 or Section 15.7; or (ii) Takeda pursuant to Section 12.2, Section 12.4 or Section 15.3:

(1) Without limiting the effect that such termination shall have on any provisions of this Agreement, other than those provisions that this Agreement expressly provides shall survive such termination, all rights and licenses granted herein to Takeda shall terminate, and Takeda shall cease any and all Development, Manufacturing, and commercialization activities with respect to the Products as soon as is reasonably practicable under Applicable Law; provided that such licenses shall continue as necessary for Takeda to complete the orderly wind-down of its activities under this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law and as otherwise required in accordance with Section 12.7(a)(6);

(2) All payment obligations hereunder shall terminate, other than those that are accrued and unpaid as of the effective date of such termination;

(3) MacroGenics shall thereafter have all rights previously licensed to Takeda hereunder on a fully paid-up and royalty-free basis itself or with a Third Party or through a Third Party sublicensee, to Develop, Manufacture and commercialize the Products at MacroGenics’ discretion, provided that any Third Party Obligation arising pursuant to Section 8.9 is passed through to MacroGenics;

(4) Takeda hereby grants to MacroGenics, effective as of the effective date of such termination, a limited, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, sublicenseable license in the Field in the Territory, under the Takeda Technology and Takeda’s right to Joint Technology, solely to Exploit the Products;

(5) At MacroGenics’ written request, Takeda shall grant to MacroGenics, effective as of the date of such request, a limited exclusive, transferable royalty bearing license to use any trademarks owned or Controlled by Takeda which are directly related to the commercialization of Products in the Territory (excluding any Takeda house marks), where such royalty shall be [***] in any country in the Territory where Takeda owns or Controls such trademarks, such royalty to continue in effect for [***] and thereafter to be a perpetual, irrevocable, fully-paid, royalty-free and limited exclusive and transferable license.

Takeda will reasonably cooperate with MacroGenics to provide a transfer of such material Information, materials, data, and documents. At MacroGenics’ request, Takeda shall assign to MacroGenics any and all agreements to which Takeda, or its Affiliate, and a Third Party are parties, and that in each case relate exclusively to the Development, commercialization and Manufacturing activities conducted in connection with

In the event one or more Products, or any materials relating to such Products, are Manufactured by Takeda or its Affiliate, then, upon the written request of MacroGenics, Takeda shall continue to supply MacroGenics with such Product(s) and/or materials at a commercially reasonable price and for a time period to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties, and, if necessary, provide technical assistance reasonably necessary to assist MacroGenics in the start-up of Manufacturing of the Product(s) and/or materials, and/or obtaining Regulatory Approval of the Product(s). In addition to the actions contemplated in this Section 12.7(a)(6), Takeda shall take such other actions and execute such other instruments, assignments and documents as may be necessary to effect the transfer of rights to such Product(s) hereunder to MacroGenics;

(7) Subject to the payment of all amounts required under Section 12.7(a)(2) above, Takeda shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of any inventory of any Product on hand at the time of such termination or in the process of Manufacturing; provided, however, at MacroGenics’ request, Takeda shall transfer to MacroGenics any Product that has not been sold or used within [***];

which any MacroGenics Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding by any Third Party (each, a Claim”) to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by Takeda or its Affiliate or sublicensee of any license granted to it under Article 3 or Article 6; (b) the manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale marketing, export, import or other disposition of any Compound or Product by Takeda or its Affiliate or sublicensee; (c) the breach by Takeda of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Takeda in this Agreement, or, if MacroGenics exercises the Co-Promote Option, the Co-Promotion Agreement; and (d) the negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct (including to the extent such negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct gives rise to product liability Claims under any legal theory) of Takeda or its Affiliate or sublicensee, or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (d) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct of any MacroGenics Indemnitee or the breach by MacroGenics of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by MacroGenics in this Agreement.

14.2 Indemnification by MacroGenics. MacroGenics hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Takeda and its Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each, a Takeda Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses to which any Takeda Indemnitee may become subject as a result of any Claim to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by MacroGenics or its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Takeda or its Affiliates or sublicensee) of any retained or reverted license right under Article 3, Article 6 or Article 12 hereof to Develop, Manufacture or commercialize any Compound or Product pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or, if MacroGenics exercises its Co-Promotion Option, any Co-Promotion Agreement; (b) the manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of any Compound or Product by MacroGenics or its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Takeda or its Affiliate or sublicensee); (c) the breach by MacroGenics of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by MacroGenics in this Agreement, or, if MacroGenics exercises the Co-Promote Option, the Co-Promotion Agreement; and (d) the negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct, or willful misconduct (including to the extent such negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct gives rise to product liability Claims under any legal theory) of MacroGenics or its Affiliate or its licensee (other than Takeda or its Affiliate or sublicensee), or any officer, director, employee, agent or representative thereof; except, with respect to each of subsections (a) through (d) above, to the extent such Losses arise directly or indirectly from the negligence, gross negligence, illegal conduct or willful misconduct of any Takeda Indemnitee or the breach by Takeda of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement made by Takeda in this Agreement.

14.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Notice. Promptly after a MacroGenics Indemnitee or a Takeda Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnitee”) receives notice of a pending or threatened Claim, such Indemnitee shall give written notice of the Claim to the Party from whom the Indemnitee is entitled to receive indemnification pursuant to

 

84

*** = Portions of this exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.

An unredacted version of this exhibit has been filed separately with the Commission.


Sections 14.1 or 14.2, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”). However, an Indemnitee’s delay in providing or failure to provide such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except to the extent it can demonstrate prejudice due to the delay or lack of notice.

(b) Defense. Upon receipt of notice under this Section 14.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee) such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than [***] after receipt of the Indemnitee’s original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation (which acknowledgment shall not be deemed or construed as an admission of liability, either under this Article 14 or otherwise) to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 14 and of its intention to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee’s reasonable out of pocket Third Party expenses related to its investigation and cooperation. As to all Claims as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed control under this Section 14.3(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of a Claim (as reasonably directed by the Indemnifying Party) at its own expense.

(c) Cooperation. The Indemnitee will cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner.

(d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee’s written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless: (1) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (2) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (3) the Indemnitee’s rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 14.

14.4 Insurance. Each Party shall, at its own expense, procure and maintain during the Term and for a period of [***] thereafter, insurance policy/policies, including product liability insurance, adequate to cover its obligations hereunder and which are consistent with normal business practices of prudent companies similarly situated. Such insurance shall not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 14. Each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance that could materially adversely affect the rights of such other Party hereunder, and shall provide such notice within thirty (30) days after any such cancellation, non-renewal or material change. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Takeda may meet its obligations under this Section 14.4 through self-insurance.

14.5 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 14, AND ANY BREACH OF ARTICLE 11 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR THE OTHER PARTY’S AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES UNDER ANY THEORY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

15.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a different state.

15.3 Change of Control of MacroGenics.

(a) MacroGenics (or its successor) shall provide notice to Takeda of any Change of Control of MacroGenics within [***] after the date upon which the MacroGenics Change of Control closes or otherwise becomes effective. Public disclosure of such Change of Control shall be deemed to be sufficient notice to Takeda under this Section 15.3.

(b) On or before the date that is [***] after the date upon which a Change of Control of MacroGenics closes or otherwise becomes effective, Takeda may terminate this Agreement in its entirety; or, in Takeda’s sole and absolute discretion, Takeda may require (and MacroGenics, or its successor, shall perform, as applicable) any one or more of the following actions: (1) the Parties shall dissolve the JSC and after such dissolvement Takeda shall solely have all rights (including all decision-making rights) and shall perform all activities assigned by this Agreement to the JSC; (2) MacroGenics and its successor shall adopt reasonable written procedures, approved by Takeda, to prevent disclosure of Takeda’s Confidential Information; or (3) terminate the sublicense granted to MacroGenics under Section 6.1(b)(3).

15.4 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate or (subject to Section 15.3 above) to a successor to substantially all of the business of such Party to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets or other transaction. Any successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section shall be null, void and of no legal effect. For purposes of clarity, each Party agrees that notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is assigned by MacroGenics in connection with a Change of Control or by Takeda pursuant to a similar transaction, such assignment shall not provide the non-assigning Party with any rights or access to the intellectual property or technology of the assigning Party’s successor.

15.5 Designation of Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

15.6 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that MacroGenics, on the one hand, and Takeda, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency. Neither MacroGenics nor Takeda shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be for the account and expense of such Party.

15.7 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure persists for more than [***], then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure. In the event a Party is prevented from performing its obligations under this Agreement due to Force Majeure for more than [***] according to this Section 15.7, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon [***] notice after the expiration of such period. A termination under this Section 15.7 by either Party shall be treated as a termination under Section 12.3 and the corresponding provisions for termination under Section 12.3 shall apply except to the extent the affected Party is prevented from performing due to the Force Majeure.

15.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, that the Mutual Confidential Disclosure Agreement between MacroGenics and TPI, dated June 27, 2012 and as subsequently amended, shall be superseded and terminated hereby, with all Confidential Information disclosed thereunder

In the event of any inconsistency between the body of this Agreement and either any Exhibits to this Agreement or any subsequent agreements ancillary to this Agreement, unless otherwise express stated to the contrary in such Exhibit or ancillary agreement, the terms contained in this Agreement shall control.

15.9 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

15.10 English Language. This Agreement shall be written in and executed in, and all other communications under or in connection with this Agreement, shall be in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version thereof, and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall control.

15.11 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

15.12 Further Assurance. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof.

15.13 Headings. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days without using a term otherwise defined herein, such number refers to calendar days. The terms “including,” “include,” “includes” or “for example” shall not limit the generality of any description preceding such term and, as used herein, shall have the same meaning as “including, but not limited to,” and/or “including, without limitation.” The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof.

15.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by .pdf or other electronically transmitted signatures and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if they were the original signatures.

PRESS RELEASE

MacroGenics and Takeda Enter Strategic Alliance to Develop DART for Treatment of Autoimmune Disorders

 

    Option-based collaboration around MGD010 product candidate

 

    Incorporates MacroGenics’ proprietary DART technology for bi-specific targeting of CD32B and CD79B

 

    MacroGenics has option to co-promote in the United States

 

    MacroGenics may participate in funding late-stage development in exchange for North American profit share

ROCKVILLE, Maryland and OSAKA, Japan – May __, 2014 – MacroGenics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MGNX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing innovative monoclonal antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases, and Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited jointly announced today that they have entered into an option agreement for the development and commercialization of MGD010. This product candidate incorporates MacroGenics’ proprietary platform for Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART®) to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins. MGD010 is currently in pre-clinical development for the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

“We are very pleased to be collaborating with MacroGenics, given the company’s expertise in exploring ways to harness the power of the immune system to treat complex, difficult diseases, including autoimmune disorders. We believe bi-specific antibodies are an important new frontier in medicine that may unlock additional therapeutic options for patients in the future,” said Tetsuyuki Maruyama, Ph.D., General Manager of the Pharmaceutical Research Division at Takeda. We look forward to building a long-term strategic collaboration with MacroGenics.”

Under the terms of the agreement, MacroGenics will receive an upfront payment of $15 million and Takeda receives an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. MacroGenics will lead all product development activities until that time. If Takeda exercises its option, it will assume responsibility for future development and pay MacroGenics an option exercise fee which, when combined with the upfront payment and an early development milestone, will total $33 million. Assuming successful development and commercialization of MGD010, MacroGenics could receive up to an additional $468.5 million in clinical, regulatory and commercialization milestone payments. If commercialized, MacroGenics would receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and has the option to co-promote MGD010 with Takeda in the United States. Finally, MacroGenics may elect to fund a portion of Phase 3 clinical development in exchange for a North American profit share.

“We are delighted to enter into this collaboration with Takeda. This partnership represents our fifth DART collaboration and MGD010 represents the first autoimmune DART program planned for clinical development,” said Scott Koenig, M.D., Ph.D., President and CEO of MacroGenics. “As a leading global pharmaceutical company, Takeda brings extraordinary expertise in the autoimmune area with significant capabilities in developing and delivering novel medicines to patients. This collaboration will enable us to further broaden and accelerate our pipeline of innovative DART-based product candidates.”

About MGD010

Currently approved B-cell-targeted therapies either cause depletion of B cells, thus limiting their applicability due to the potential for infections, or exhibit a delayed onset of action and limited efficacy across patient populations. To address these limitations, MacroGenics is developing MGD010, a humanized DART compound that simultaneously targets CD32B and CD79B.

In pre-clinical studies, MGD010 modulates the function of human B cells without B cell depletion. In normal conditions, B cells utilize CD32B as one of the key negative regulators to ensure that tolerance to self is maintained and autoimmune disease does not occur. MGD010 exploits this mechanism and triggers this inhibitory “immune checkpoint” loop. MacroGenics believes this molecule preferentially blocks those B cells that are activated to produce the pathogenic antibodies that promote the autoimmune process. Studies in SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus) patient B cells and humanized mouse models have demonstrated that MGD010 can block B cell activation in the absence of B cell depletion. To advance this program to the clinic, MacroGenics completed studies in a non-human primate model with MGD010 demonstrating a favorable safety profile and pharmacological effects on targeted B cells.

Background on DART Platform

MacroGenics’ Dual-Affinity Re-Targeting (DART®) platform enables the targeting of multiple antigens or cells by using a single molecule with an antibody-like structure. The Company has created over 100 DART-based molecules, or DARTs, which have been configured for the potential treatment of cancer, autoimmune disorders and infectious disease. These DARTs can be tailored for either short or prolonged pharmacokinetics and have demonstrated good stability and attractive manufacturability. The Company has completed in vitro and in vivo proof of concept pre-clinical studies with multiple candidates and expects to advance its first two DARTs into clinical development in 2014.
