NOTE 3 — COLLABORATION AGREEMENT

(a) Collaboration Agreement with Astellas

In October 2009, the Company entered into the Astellas Collaboration Agreement. Under the agreement, decision making and economic participation differs between the U.S. market and the ex-U.S. market. In the United States, decisions are generally made by consensus, pre-tax profits and losses are shared equally, and, subject to certain exceptions, development and commercialization costs (including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to The Regents of the University of California, or UCLA (or the Regents), under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA) are also shared equally. The primary exceptions to equal cost sharing in the U.S. market are that each party is responsible for its own commercial full-time equivalent, or FTE, costs, and that development costs supporting marketing approvals in both the United States and either Europe or Japan are borne one-third by the Company and two-thirds by Astellas. The Company and Astellas are co-promoting XTANDI in the U.S. market, with each company providing half of the sales and medical affairs effort in support of the product. Both the Company and Astellas are entitled to receive a fee for each qualifying detail made by its respective sales representatives. Outside the United States, decisions are generally made by Astellas and all development and commercialization costs (including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA) are borne by Astellas. Astellas retains all ex-U.S. profits and losses, and pays the Company a tiered royalty ranging from the low teens to the low twenties on any aggregate net sales of XTANDI outside the United States, or ex-U.S. XTANDI sales. Astellas has sole responsibility for promoting XTANDI outside the United States, and for recording all XTANDI sales both inside and outside the United States. Both the Company and Astellas have agreed not to commercialize certain other products having a similar mechanism of action (as defined by the Astellas Collaboration Agreement) as XTANDI for the treatment of prostate cancer for a specified time period, subject to certain exceptions.

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, Astellas paid the Company a non-refundable, up-front cash payment of $110.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company is also eligible to receive up to $335.0 million in development milestone payments and up to $320.0 million in sales milestone payments. As of March 31, 2014, the Company has earned an aggregate of $93.0 million in development milestone payments and $25.0 million in sales milestone payments under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement. The Company expects that any of the remaining $242.0 million in development milestone payments and the remaining $295.0 million in sales milestone payments that the Company may earn in future periods will be recognized as revenue in their entirety in the period in which the underlying milestone event is achieved. During the second quarter of 2014, the Company earned and will recognize as collaboration revenue $47.0 million of the remaining development milestone payments from Astellas as a result of the achievement of certain defined development milestone events.

The triggering events for the remaining development milestone payments the Company is eligible to receive under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement are as follows:

(6) In March 2014, the Company’s partner, Astellas, obtained XTANDI marketing approval for the treatment of patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer, or CRPC, in Japan with the precaution that the efficacy and safety of XTANDI have not been established in patients with prostate cancer who have not received chemotherapy. The Japanese marketing approval triggered a $15.0 million milestone payment, which has been recognized as collaboration revenue during the first quarter of 2014. The milestone payment, which was included in “receivable from collaboration partner” on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014, was received during the second quarter of 2014.

(8) These milestones totaling $15.0 million have been earned in April 2014 as a result of the European Medicines Agency’s validation of Astellas’ application for an amended European Marketing Authorization Application and acceptance of the filing for the treatment of adult men with mCRPC who are asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic after failure of androgen deprivation therapy and in whom chemotherapy is not yet clinically indicated and will be recognized as collaboration revenue during the second quarter of 2014.

(1) Each milestone shall only be paid once during the term of the Astellas Collaboration Agreement.

The Company and Astellas are each permitted to terminate the Astellas Collaboration Agreement for an uncured material breach by the other party or for the insolvency of the other party. Astellas has a right to terminate the Astellas Collaboration Agreement unilaterally by advance written notice to the Company. Following any termination of the Astellas Collaboration Agreement in its entirety, all rights to develop and commercialize XTANDI will revert to the Company, and Astellas will grant a license to the Company to enable it to continue such development and commercialization. In addition, except in the case of a termination by Astellas for the Company’s material breach, Astellas will supply XTANDI to the Company during a specified transition period.

Unless terminated earlier by the Company or Astellas pursuant to the terms thereof, the Astellas Collaboration Agreement will remain in effect: (a) in the United States, until such time as Astellas notifies the Company that Astellas has permanently stopped selling products covered by the Astellas Collaboration Agreement in the United States; and (b) in each other country of the world, on a country-by-country basis, until such time as (i) products covered by the Astellas Collaboration Agreement cease to be protected by patents or regulatory exclusivity in such country and (ii) commercial sales of generic equivalent products have commenced in such country.

(b) Collaboration Revenue

Collaboration revenue consists of three components: (a) collaboration revenue attributable to U.S. XTANDI sales; (b) collaboration revenue attributable to ex-U.S. XTANDI sales; and (c) collaboration revenue attributable to up-front and milestone payments.

The Company is required to pay UCLA ten percent of all Sublicensing Income, as defined in the Company’s license agreement with UCLA. The Company is currently involved in certain litigation matters with UCLA regarding certain terms of the license agreement and other matters, which are discussed in Note 10, “Commitments and Contingencies.”

Collaboration Revenue Attributable to U.S. XTANDI Sales

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, Astellas records all U.S. XTANDI sales. The Company and Astellas share equally all pre-tax profits and losses from U.S. XTANDI sales. Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and Astellas also share equally all XTANDI development and commercialization costs attributable to the U.S. market, including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA. The primary exceptions to 50/50 cost sharing are that each party is responsible for its own commercial FTE costs and that development costs supporting marketing approvals in both the United States and either Europe or Japan are borne one-third by the Company and two-thirds by Astellas. The Company recognizes collaboration revenue attributable to U.S. XTANDI sales in the period in which such sales occur. Collaboration revenue attributable to U.S. XTANDI sales consists of the Company’s share of pre-tax profits and losses from U.S. sales, plus reimbursement of the Company’s share of reimbursable U.S. development and commercialization costs. The Company’s collaboration revenue attributable to U.S. XTANDI sales in any given period will be mathematically equal to 50% of U.S. XTANDI net sales as reported by Astellas for the applicable period.

Collaboration Revenue Attributable to Ex-U.S. XTANDI Sales

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, Astellas records all ex-U.S. XTANDI sales. Astellas is responsible for all development and commercialization costs for XTANDI outside the United States, including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA, and pays the Company a tiered royalty ranging from the low teens to the low twenties on net ex-U.S. XTANDI sales. The Company recognizes collaboration revenue attributable to ex-U.S. XTANDI sales in the period in which such sales occur. Collaboration revenue attributable to ex-U.S. XTANDI sales consists of royalties from Astellas on those sales.

Collaboration revenue attributable to ex-U.S. XTANDI sales was $5.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. There was no collaboration revenue attributable to ex-U.S. XTANDI sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Collaboration Revenue Attributable to Up-front and Milestone Payments

Collaboration revenue attributable to up-front and milestone payments from Astellas was $19.2 million and $8.5 million for three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Deferred revenue under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement was $12.7 million and $16.9 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(c) Cost-Sharing Payments

Under the Astellas Collaboration Agreement, the Company and Astellas share certain development and commercialization costs (including cost of goods sold and the royalty on net sales payable to UCLA under the Company’s license agreement with UCLA) in the United States. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, development cost sharing payments from Astellas were $15.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, and were recorded as reductions in research and development, or R&D, expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, commercialization cost-sharing payments to Astellas were $7.6 million and $4.8 million, respectively, and were recorded as increases in selling, general, and administrative, or SG&A, expenses.
