M. September 2009 Financial Transactions

2012 Notes

        In September 2009, the Company sold $155.0 million in aggregate of secured notes due 2012 (the "2012 Notes") for an aggregate of $122.2 million pursuant to a note purchase agreement with Olmsted Park S.A. (the "Purchaser"). The 2012 Notes were issued pursuant to, and the 2012 Notes are governed by the terms of, an indenture entered into on September 30, 2009 between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. In connection with the issuance of the 2012 Notes, the Company granted a security interest to the Purchaser with respect to $155.0 million of potential INCIVO milestone payments that the Company was eligible to earn from Janssen for the filing, approval and launch of INCIVO in the European Union.

        The 2012 Notes were issued at a discount and do not pay current interest prior to maturity. The 2012 Notes mature on October 31, 2012, subject to earlier mandatory redemption to the extent specified milestone events set forth in the Company's collaboration with Janssen occur prior to October 31, 2012. In February 2011, the Company received a milestone payment of $50.0 million earned upon the acceptance of Janssen's MAA for INCIVO by the EMA and subsequently redeemed $50.0 million of 2012 Notes pursuant to their terms.

        As of June 30, 2011, the remaining outstanding aggregate amount of 2012 Notes was $105.0 million. Of the milestone payments that would result in redemption of the outstanding 2012 Notes, $50.0 million relate to the approval of INCIVO by the European Commission upon the recommendation of the EMA and $55.0 million relate to the launch of INCIVO in the European Union.

        The holders of the 2012 Notes have the right to cause the Company to repay all or any part of the outstanding 2012 Notes at 100% of the face amount of the 2012 Notes to be repurchased if a change of control of the Company occurs. The Company may also redeem all or any part of the outstanding 2012 Notes at any time at 100% of the face amount of the 2012 Notes to be redeemed. Upon certain events of default occurring and continuing, either the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% of the 2012 Notes then outstanding may declare the 2012 Notes immediately due and payable. In the case of certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization relating to the Company, the outstanding amount of the 2012 Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

        The Company has determined that the 2012 Notes contain an embedded derivative related to the potential mandatory redemption or early repayment of the 2012 Notes at the face amount prior to their maturity date. The Company bifurcated the embedded derivative from the 2012 Notes because the features of the embedded derivative were not clearly and closely related to the 2012 Notes.

        The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivative based on a probability-weighted model of the discounted value that market participants would ascribe to the potential mandatory redemption and early repayment features of the outstanding 2012 Notes. The fair value of this embedded derivative is evaluated quarterly, with any changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative resulting in a corresponding loss or gain. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative that result in a loss increase the liability each quarter by an amount corresponding to the loss, and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative that result in a gain decrease the liability each quarter by an amount corresponding to the gain. The Company records quarterly interest expense related to the 2012 Notes determined using the effective interest rate method. The liabilities related to the 2012 Notes, including the embedded derivative, are reflected together on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, these liabilities were reflected as current.

Sale of Future Milestone Payments

        On September 30, 2009, the Company entered into two purchase agreements with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company sold its rights to an aggregate of $95.0 million in potential future milestone payments under the Janssen agreement related to the launch of INCIVO in the European Union, for nonrefundable payments totaling $32.8 million. The purchase agreements contain representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of each party, including the obligation of the Company to make the milestone payments to the Purchaser when the underlying milestone events are achieved if the Janssen agreement has been terminated.

        The Company determined that this sale of a potential future revenue stream should be accounted for as a liability because the Company has significant continuing involvement in the generation of the potential milestone payments pursuant to its collaboration agreement with Janssen. As a result, the Company recorded a liability on its condensed consolidated balance sheets equal to the fair value of the purchase agreements. No revenues or deferred revenues have been recorded on account of the amounts that the Company received from the Purchaser pursuant to these purchase agreements. In addition, the Company determined that the purchase agreements are free-standing derivative instruments. The aggregate fair value of the free-standing derivatives created by the sale of the rights to future milestone payments to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreements is based on a probability-weighted model of the discounted value that market participants would ascribe to these rights. The models used to estimate the fair value of the rights sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreements require the Company to make estimates regarding, among other things, the assumptions market participants would make regarding the timing and probability of achieving the milestones and the appropriate discount rates. The fair value of the rights sold to the Purchaser pursuant to the purchase agreements is evaluated each reporting period, with any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments based on the probability of achieving the milestones, the timing of achieving the milestones or discount rates resulting in a corresponding gain or loss. Because the Company's estimate of the fair value of the rights to the future milestone payments includes the application of a discount rate to reflect the time-value of money, the Company records costs related to this liability each quarter. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, this liability was reflected as current.

Expenses and Liabilities Related to September 2009 Financial Transactions

        The tables below set forth the total expenses related to the September 2009 financial transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, and the liabilities reflected on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets related to these transactions as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The liabilities for the 2012 Notes, including the fair value of the embedded derivative, decreased from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 as a result of redemption of $50.0 million of 2012 Notes in the first quarter of 2011. The liability related to the sale of potential future milestone payments increased from December 31, 2010 to June 30, 2011 principally due to revised estimates regarding the probability of achieving the milestones related to the potential launch of INCIVO in the European Union in connection with the EMA's acceptance of the MAA for INCIVO in the first quarter of 2011.
