Lease Obligations In 2006, upon signing the Company’s above-mentioned long-term property lease agreement with Alexandria, a stand-by letter of credit $7.3 million was established which has been included in restricted time deposits on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Starting the fourth quarter of 2016, on an annual basis, a portion of this letter of credit was released. As a result, the restriction of a $2.1 million was removed during the year ended December 31, 2019. The agreement also included an expansion option to occupy part of an adjacent building, for which the Company gave notice to its landlord that it would not exercise this expansion option. This resulted in a $5.0 million payment liability to the landlord which is being financed over the remaining lease term of its lease. The related balance was $1.5 million as of December 31, 2019, with $0.4 million included in accrued and other current liabilities, and $1.1 million included in long-term portion of lease obligations on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Legal Proceedings The Company a party to various legal actions that arose in the ordinary course of its business. The Company recognizes accruals for any legal action when it concludes that a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. The Company did not have any material accruals for any currently active legal action in its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, as it could not predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, or reasonably estimate the potential exposure. Indemnification Agreements The Company enters into standard indemnification arrangements in the ordinary course of business, including for example, service, manufacturing and collaboration agreements. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified parties for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, including in connection with intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to its technology. The term of these indemnification agreements is generally perpetual any time after the execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these arrangements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these arrangements is minimal. The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers that may require the Company to indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers to the extent permissible under applicable law. Some of the Company’s license agreements provide for periodic maintenance fees over specified time periods, as well as payments by the Company upon the achievement of development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Future milestone payments for research and pre-clinical stage development programs consisted of up to approximately $11.0 million in total potential future milestone payments under the Company’s license agreements with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, University of Miami and Medarex, Inc. These milestone payments generally become due and payable only upon the achievement of certain developmental, clinical, regulatory and/or commercial milestones. The event triggering such payment or obligation has not yet occurred.
