Palatin License Agreement

On January 8, 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Palatin License Agreement”) with Palatin Technologies, Inc. (“Palatin”) under which we acquired (a) an exclusive license in all countries of North America (the “Rekynda Territory”), with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and commercialize Rekynda and any other products containing bremelanotide (collectively, the “Rekynda Products”), an investigational product designed to be an on-demand treatment for hypoactive sexual desire disorder in pre-menopausal women, (b) a worldwide non-exclusive license, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to manufacture the Rekynda Products, and (c) a non-exclusive license in all countries outside the Rekynda Territory, with the right to grant sub-licenses, to research, develop and manufacture (but not commercialize) the Rekynda Products. Following the satisfaction of the conditions to closing under the Palatin License Agreement, the transaction closed on February 2, 2017.

Under the terms of the Palatin License Agreement, in February 2017 we paid Palatin $60.0 million as a one-time upfront payment and will reimburse Palatin up to an aggregate amount of $25.0 million for all reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Palatin in connection with the development and regulatory activities necessary to submit a new drug application in the U.S. for Rekynda for the treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder (“HSDD”) in pre-menopausal women.
 
In addition, the Palatin License Agreement provides for future contingent payments of (a) up to $80.0 million upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones, including FDA approval and (b) up to $300.0 million of aggregate sales milestone payments upon the achievement of certain annual net sales milestones over the course of the license. The first sales milestone of $25.0 million will be triggered when Rekynda annual net sales exceed $250.0 million. We are also obligated to pay Palatin tiered royalties on annual net sales of the Rekynda Products, on a product-by-product basis, in the Rekynda Territory ranging from the high-single digits to the low double-digits. The royalties will expire on a product-by-product and country-by-country basis upon the latest to occur of (a) the earliest date on which there are no valid claims of Palatin patent rights covering such Rekynda Product in such country, (b) the expiration of the regulatory exclusivity period for such Rekynda Product in such country and (c) 10 years following the first commercial sale of such Rekynda Product in such country. These royalties are subject to reduction in the event that: (i) we must license additional third party intellectual property in order to develop, manufacture or commercialize a Rekynda Product or (ii) generic competition occurs with respect to a Rekynda Product in a given country, subject to an aggregate cap on such deductions of royalties otherwise payable to Palatin. After the expiration of the applicable royalties for any Rekynda Product in a given country, the license for such Rekynda Product in such country would become a fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license.

Pending Endoceutics License Agreement

On February 13, 2017, we entered into a license agreement (the “Endoceutics License Agreement”) with Endoceutics, Inc. (“Endoceutics”) pursuant to which Endoceutics has agreed to grant to us rights to Intrarosa, an FDA-approved product for the treatment of moderate-to-severe dyspareunia (pain during sexual intercourse), a symptom of VVA due to menopause. The Endoceutics License Agreement grants us the right to develop and commercialize pharmaceutical products containing dehydroepiandrosterone (“DHEA”), including Intrarosa, at dosage strengths of 13 mg or less per dose and formulated for intravaginal delivery, excluding any dosage strengths over 13 mg per dose and combinations with other active pharmaceutical ingredients, in the U.S. for the treatment of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (“VVA”) and female sexual dysfunction (“FSD”). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Endoceutics License Agreement (the “Effective Date”) is subject to clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and other customary closing conditions.

Subject to the terms of the Endoceutics License Agreement, Endoceutics has agreed to conduct clinical studies for the use of Intrarosa in FSD to support an application for regulatory approval for Intrarosa for the treatment of FSD in the U.S. We and Endoceutics have agreed to share the direct costs related to such studies based upon a negotiated allocation with us funding up to $20.0 million. We may, with Endoceutics’ consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), conduct any other studies of Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA and FSD anywhere in the world for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining regulatory approval of or commercializing Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA or FSD in the U.S. All data generated in connection with the above described studies would be owned by Endoceutics and licensed to us pursuant to the Endoceutics License Agreement.

We will have the exclusive right to commercialize Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA or FSD in the U.S., subject to the terms of the Endoceutics License Agreement, including having final decision making authority with respect to commercial strategy, pricing and reimbursement and other commercialization matters. We have agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to market, promote and otherwise commercialize Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA or FSD in the U.S., including a commitment to a minimum marketing spend for Intrarosa in 2017. Endoceutics has the right to directly conduct, itself or through its affiliates or subcontractors, additional commercialization activities for Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA or FSD in the U.S., which scope of activities will be agreed to by the parties acting reasonably and in good faith, and has the right to conduct activities related generally to the field of intracinology, in each case, subject to our right to withhold approval in certain instances.
 
Upon Closing, we will make an upfront payment of $50.0 million and, subject to certain conditions, will issue 600,000 shares of unregistered common stock, to Endoceutics, 300,000 of which will be subject to a 180-day lock-up provision, and the other 300,000 of which will be subject to a one-year lock-up provision. We have also agreed to make a payment to Endoceutics of up to $10.0 million upon the delivery of launch quantities of Intrarosa and a payment of $10.0 million on the first anniversary of the closing. In addition, we have also agreed to pay tiered royalties to Endoceutics equal to a percentage of net sales of Intrarosa in the U.S. ranging from mid-teens (for calendar year net sales up to $150.0 million) to mid twenty percent (for any calendar year net sales that exceed $1 billion) (such royalty rate to be dependent on the aggregate annual net sales of Intrarosa) for the commercial life of Intrarosa, with deductions (a) after the later of (i) the expiration date of the last to expire of a licensed patent containing a valid patent claim or (ii) ten years after the first commercial sale of Intrarosa for the treatment of VVA or FSD in the U.S., (b) for generic competition and (c) for third party payments. Endoceutics is also eligible to receive certain sales milestone payments, including a first sales milestone payment of $15.0 million, which would be triggered when Intrarosa annual net U.S. sales exceed $150.0 million, and a second milestone payment of $30.0 million, which would be triggered when annual net U.S. sales exceed $300.0 million. If annual net U.S. sales exceed $500.0 million, there are additional sales milestone payments totaling up to $850.0 million, which would be triggered at various increasing sales thresholds.

In connection with the Endoceutics License Agreement, we and Endoceutics have agreed to enter into an exclusive commercial supply agreement on or about the Effective Date, pursuant to which Endoceutics, itself or through affiliates or contract manufacturers, would agree to manufacture and supply Intrarosa to us (the “Supply Agreement”) and would be our exclusive supplier of Intrarosa in the U.S., subject to certain rights for us to manufacture and supply Intrarosa in the event of a cessation notice or supply failure (as such terms are defined in the Supply Agreement). Under the Supply Agreement, Endoceutics would maintain at all times a second source supplier for the manufacture of DHEA and the drug product and identify and validate and transfer manufacturing intellectual property to the second source supplier within two years of the Effective Date. The Supply Agreement will remain in effect until the termination of the Endoceutics License Agreement, unless terminated earlier by either party for an uncured material breach or insolvency of the other party, or by us if we exercise our rights to manufacture and supply Intrarosa following a cessation notice or supply failure.

Under the Endoceutics License Agreement, except as permitted under the Endoceutics License Agreement or the Supply Agreement, and except for any compounds or products affecting the melanocortin receptor pathway, including without limitation, bremelanotide (collectively, “Excluded Product”), we will not be permitted to research, develop, manufacture, or commercialize (i) DHEA for delivery by any route of administration anywhere in world, (ii) any compound (including DHEA) or product for use in VVA anywhere in the world, or (iii) commencing on the date of an approval of Intrarosa for the treatment of FSD in the U.S. and continuing for the remainder of the term of the Endoceutics License Agreement, any compound (including DHEA) for use in FSD (each, a “Competing Product”). Any compound or product for use in FSD that would be a Competing Product in the United States but that (i) does not contain DHEA and (ii) was acquired or licensed or for which the research, development, manufacture or commercialization of such compound or product is initiated by us or our affiliates, in each case, prior to the date of an approval of Intrarosa for the treatment of FSD in the U.S., will be an Excluded Product and will not be subject to the exclusivity obligations under the Endoceutics License Agreement in the treatment of FSD, subject to certain restrictions in the Endoceutics License Agreement. These noncompete restrictions are subject to certain exclusions relating to the acquisition of competing programs.

The Endoceutics License Agreement expires on the date of expiration of all royalty obligations due thereunder unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Endoceutics License Agreement. The Endoceutics License Agreement may be terminated by either Party if the Effective Date has not occurred within 180 days following the execution date or such date as the parties may mutually agree. The Endoceutics License Agreement may be terminated by either Party for material breach that is either uncured after a 90-day notice period, or if such breach cannot be cured within such 90-day period, if the breaching party does not commence appropriate and material actions to cure such breach within the notice period and continue to diligently cure such breach for a period not to exceed 90 days, in either case, subject to tolling or determination of the arbitrators, if dispute resolution procedures are initiated within 30 days of the termination notice. We have the ability to elect not to terminate the Endoceutics License Agreement in the case of a material breach, in which case future milestone and royalty payments owed to Endoceutics would be reduced by a negotiated percentage or by an amount determined by arbitration. Either party may terminate under certain situations relating to the bankruptcy or insolvency of the other party. We may terminate the Endoceutics License Agreement for a valid business reason upon 365 days prior written notice to Endoceutics; or upon 60 days written notice in the event we reasonably determine in good faith, after due inquiry and after discussions with Endoceutics, that we cannot reasonably continue to develop or commercialize any Product as a result of a safety issue regarding the use of Intrarosa. We may also terminate the Endoceutics License Agreement upon 180 days notice if there is a change of control of AMAG and the acquiring entity (alone or with its affiliates) is engaged in a competing program (as defined in the Licensed Agreement) in the U.S. or in at least three countries within the European Union.
