License and Collaboration Agreement with SANOFI-AVENTIS Deutschland GmbH

On August 11, 2014, the Company entered into the Sanofi License Agreement pursuant to which it will receive $150.0 million upfront fee and may earn potential payments of up to an aggregate of $775.0 million upon the achievement of certain development, manufacturing, regulatory and sales milestones. Worldwide profits and losses will be shared 65% by Sanofi and 35% by the Company. Pursuant to a separate supply agreement, the Company will manufacture AFREZZA at its manufacturing facility in Danbury, Connecticut to supply Sanofi’s demand for the product. In addition, the Company received a commitment letter from an affiliate of Sanofi to provide the Company with a secured loan facility of up to $175.0 million to fund the Company’s share of net losses under the Sanofi License Agreement. The commitment letter provides that our obligations under the Sanofi Loan Facility would be secured by a first priority mortgage on our facility in Valencia, California, a first priority security interest in certain insulin inventory located at our facility in Danbury, Connecticut and any contractual rights and obligations pursuant to which we purchase or have purchased such insulin, and a second priority security interest in our assets that secure our obligations under the Facility Agreement. The commitment is subject to customary conditions, including the effectiveness of the Sanofi License Agreement, the finalization of loan documentation and the entry into satisfactory intercreditor agreement with Deerfield.

The effectiveness of the Sanofi License Agreement and the Supply Agreement is contingent upon satisfaction of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the entry into the definitive loan documents relating to the Sanofi Loan Facility (unless we terminate the commitment letter for the Sanofi Loan Facility).
