MANNKIND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Description of business and basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of MannKind Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest audited annual financial statements. The audited statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 are included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2009 (the “Annual Report”).
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of these interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates or assumptions. The more significant estimates reflected in these accompanying financial statements involve accrued expenses, the valuation of stock-based compensation and the determination of the provision for income taxes and corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets.
Business — MannKind Corporation (the “Company”) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes and cancer. The Company’s lead product candidate, AFRESA®, is an ultra rapid-acting insulin. In March 2009, the Company submitted a new drug application (“NDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) requesting approval of AFRESA for the treatment of adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia. AFRESA consists of the Company’s proprietary Technosphere particles onto which insulin molecules are loaded. These loaded particles are then aerosolized and inhaled deep into the lung using the Company’s AFRESA inhaler.
Basis of Presentation — The Company is considered to be in the development stage as its primary activities since incorporation have been establishing its facilities, recruiting personnel, conducting research and development, business development, business and financial planning, and raising capital. Since its inception through March 31, 2009 the Company has reported accumulated net losses of $1.5 billion, which include a goodwill impairment charge of $151.4 million, and cumulative negative cash flow from operations of $1.1 billion. It is costly to develop therapeutic products and conduct clinical trials for these products. At March 31, 2009 the Company’s capital resources consisted of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $30.2 million (including a $2.0 million certificate of deposit held as collateral for foreign exchange hedging instruments) and $260.0 million of available borrowings under the loan agreement with an entity controlled by the Company’s principal shareholder (see Note 10). Based upon the Company’s current expectations, management believes the Company’s existing capital resources will enable it to continue planned operations through the first quarter of 2010. However, the Company cannot provide assurances that its plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of its capital resources more rapidly than it currently anticipates. Accordingly, the Company expects that it will need to raise additional capital, either through the sale of equity and/or debt securities, a strategic business collaboration with a pharmaceutical company or the establishment of other funding facilities, in order to continue the development and commercialization of AFRESA and other product candidates and to support its other ongoing activities.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards — On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued three Staff Positions (“FSPs”): FSP No. FAS 157-4 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. FAS 157-4”); FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”); and FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB

7


Table of Contents

28-1”). FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides application guidance on measuring fair value when the volume and level of activity has significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provides a new other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities only which shifts the focus from an entity’s intent to hold until recovery to its intent to sell. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-4 expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107 “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to interim periods. All three FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of these FSPs to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (“EITF No. 07-1”), which discusses how parties to a collaborative arrangement (which does not establish a legal entity within such arrangement) should account for various activities. EITF No. 07-1 indicated that costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties (i.e. parties outside of the collaborative arrangement) should be reported by the collaborators on the respective line items in their income statements pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent”. Additionally, EITF No. 07-1 provided that income statement characterization of payments between the participants in a collaborative arrangement should be based upon existing authoritative pronouncements; analogy to such pronouncements if not within their scope; or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. The adoption of EITF No. 07-1 did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” and FASB Statement No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FASB Statement No. 160”). These standards significantly changed the accounting and reporting for business combinations transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including capitalizing at the acquisition date the fair value of acquired in process research and development, and remeasuring and writing down these assets, if necessary, in subsequent periods during their development. These new standards will be applied prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after January 1, 2009, except that presentation and disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 160 regarding noncontrolling interests shall be applied retrospectively. Adoption of these statements did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows, but will have a significant effect on how acquisition transactions, subsequent to January 1, 2009, are reflected in the financial statements.
As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. APB 14-1 (“FSP No. APB 14-1”), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. FSP No. APB 14-1 established that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP No. APB 14-1 shall be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the liability component of the convertible debt instrument will be determined by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The carrying value of the equity component will be determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the convertible debt instrument as a whole. Related transaction costs shall be allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount shall be amortized to interest cost using the interest method. The adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, the Company adopted EITF Issue No. 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” specified that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No. 07-5 provided a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company’s policy is to maintain a highly liquid short-term investment portfolio. Proceeds from the sales and maturities of available-for-sale securities amounted to approximately $17.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross realized gains and losses for available-for-sale securities were insignificant and recorded as other income (expense). Gross unrealized gains and losses are included in other comprehensive income (loss).
3. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities

4. Accounting for stock-based compensation
Total stock-based compensation expense was $5.8 million and $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of March 31, 2009, there was $9.9 million and $28.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to options and restricted stock units, respectively, which is expected to be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.0 years.
5. Net loss per common share
Basic net loss per share excludes dilution for potentially dilutive securities and is computed by dividing loss applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share for all of the periods presented in the accompanying statements of operations because the reported net loss in each of these periods results in their inclusion being antidilutive. Antidilutive securities, which consist of stock options, restricted stock units, warrants, and shares that could be issued upon conversion of the senior convertible notes, that are not included in the diluted net loss per share calculation consisted of an aggregate of 19,276,593 shares and 17,883,897 shares as of March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
6. State research and development credit exchange receivable
The State of Connecticut provides certain companies with the opportunity to exchange certain research and development income tax credit carryforwards for cash in exchange for forgoing the carryforward of the research and development income tax credits. The

9


Table of Contents

program provides for an exchange of research and development income tax credits for cash equal to 65% of the value of corporation tax credit available for exchange. Estimated amounts receivable under the program are recorded as a reduction of research and development expenses. At March 31, 2009, the estimated amount receivable under the program was $1.7 million.
7. Property and equipment — net
Property and equipment — net consist of the following (dollar amounts in thousands):

          $ 228,352     $ 226,436  
 
                   
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the service lives of the improvements. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property and equipment for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the cumulative period from February 14, 1991 (date of inception) to March 31, 2009 was $4.4 million, $1.8 million and $63.8 million, respectively. Capitalized interest during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 and $0.9 million, respectively.
8. Warrants
In connection with the sale of common stock in the private placement which closed in August 2005, the Company concurrently issued warrants to purchase up to 3,426,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $12.228 per share. These warrants became exercisable in February 2006 and expire in August 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, no warrants were exercised. As of March 31, 2009, warrants to purchase 2,882,873 shares of common stock remained outstanding.
9. Commitments and contingencies
Supply Commitments — As of March 31, 2009, the Company had a binding annual commitment for insulin purchases with Organon N.V. (“Organon”) aggregating approximately $98.0 million over the period from 2009 through 2012. If the Company terminates the supply agreement following failure to obtain or maintain regulatory approval of AFRESA or either party terminates the agreement following the parties’ inability to agree to changes to product specifications mandated after regulatory approval, the Company will be required to pay Organon a specified termination fee if Organon is unable to sell certain quantities of insulin to other parties.
Guarantees and Indemnifications — In the ordinary course of its business, the Company makes certain indemnities, commitments and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. The Company, as permitted under Delaware law and in accordance with its Bylaws, indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while the officer or director is or was serving at the Company’s request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited; however, the Company has a director and officer insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. The Company believes the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. The Company has not recorded any liability for these indemnities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, the Company accrues for losses for any known contingent liability, including those that may arise from indemnification provisions, when future payment is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. No such losses have been recorded to date.

Table of Contents

Litigation — The Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, the Company would record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.
10. Related-party loan arrangement
In October 2007, the Company entered into a $350.0 million loan arrangement with its principal stockholder. Under the arrangement, the Company can borrow up to a total of $350.0 million before January 1, 2010. On February 26, 2009, the promissory note underlying the loan arrangement was revised as a result of the principal stockholder being licensed as a finance lender under the California Finance Lenders Law. Accordingly, the lender was revised to The Mann Group LLC, an entity controlled by the Company’s principal stockholder. This new licensing also eliminated the need for draw restrictions under the previous loan arrangement and the Company is now able to borrow up to a total of $350.0 million from time to time with appropriate notice to the lender. Interest will accrue on each outstanding advance at a fixed rate equal to the one-year LIBOR rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date of such advance plus 3% per annum and will be payable quarterly in arrears. Principal repayment is due on December 31, 2011. At any time after January 1, 2010, the lender can require the Company to prepay up to $200.0 million in advances that have been outstanding for at least 12 months. If the lender exercises this right, the Company will have until the earlier of 180 days after the lender provides written notice or December 31, 2011 to prepay such advances. In the event of a default, all unpaid principal and interest either becomes immediately due and payable or may be accelerated at the lender’s option, and the interest rate will increase to the one-year LIBOR rate calculated on the date of the initial advance or in effect on the date of default, whichever is greater, plus 5% per annum. Any borrowings under the loan arrangement will be unsecured. The loan arrangement contains no financial covenants. There are no warrants associated with the loan arrangement, nor are advances convertible into the Company’s common stock.
The amount outstanding under the arrangement was $90.0 million and $30.0 million at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of March 31, 2009, the Company had accrued interest of $0.6 million related to the amount outstanding.
11. Senior convertible notes
On December 12, 2006, the Company completed an offering of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Senior Convertible Notes due 2013 (the “Notes”), including $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes sold pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option that was exercised in full. The Notes are governed by the terms of an indenture dated as of November 1, 2006 and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 12, 2006. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 3.75% per year on the principal amount of the Notes, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2007. As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company had accrued interest of $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, related to the Notes. The Notes are general, unsecured, senior obligations of the Company and effectively rank junior in right of payment to all of the Company’s secured debt, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, and to the debt and all other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries. The maturity date of the Notes is December 15, 2013 and payment is due in full on that date for unconverted securities. Holders may convert, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the stated maturity date, any outstanding Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion rate of 44.5002 shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, which is equal to a conversion price of approximately $22.47 per share, subject to adjustment. Except in certain circumstances, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change: (1) the Company will pay a make-whole premium on the Notes converted in connection with a fundamental change by increasing the conversion rate on such Notes, which amount, if any, will be based on the Company’s common stock price and the effective date of the fundamental change, and (2) each holder of the Notes will have the option to require the Company to repurchase all or any portion of such holder’s Notes at a repurchase price of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company incurred approximately $3.7 million in issuance costs which are recorded as an offset to the Notes in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. These costs are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the Notes. Amortized interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
12. Income taxes
As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report, management of the Company has concluded, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, that it is more likely than not that the Company may not realize the benefit of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, net deferred tax assets have been fully reserved.

Table of Contents

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined. FIN 48 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. The Company is subject to the provisions of FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to FIN 48. The cumulative effect, if any, of applying FIN 48 is to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. The Company did not record a cumulative effect adjustment related to the adoption of FIN 48. Tax years since 1992 remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.
13. Pfizer agreement
On March 6, 2009, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, MannKind Deutschland GmbH, a German limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), entered into a LIP Asset or Business Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pfizer”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Pfizer Manufacturing Frankfurt GmbH, a German limited liability company (the “Seller”). Simultaneously, the Company entered into an Insulin Sale and Purchase Agreement (the “Insulin Agreement”) with Pfizer and the Seller. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement and the Insulin Agreement, the Company and the Purchaser will purchase from the Seller substantially all assets related to the production of bulk insulin at the Seller’s facility at Industriepark Hoechst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany, including the relevant real property rights, the equipment at the facility, the inventory of the Seller (including a certain quantity of bulk insulin), rights to acquire additional bulk insulin inventory and related technology rights (collectively, the “Purchase”). The aggregate purchase price for the Purchase is $33.0 million, plus an additional $3.0 million per month after April 3, 2009 until the earlier of the closing of the Purchase or October 31, 2009.
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will acquire substantially all of the assets of the Seller other than those to be sold to the Company under the Insulin Agreement. Upon the closing of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser, subject to further works council consultation and employee co-determination rights, will retain approximately 80 of the 148 current employees and will operate the facility at a production level commensurate with the Purchaser’s present needs for recombinant human insulin. In this event, the Company has agreed to guarantee up to 19 million in potential severance benefits to employees. However, the sale of the real property rights is subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH (“Sanofi-Aventis”). If Sanofi-Aventis exercises its right of first refusal within 60 days of notification, the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement will be consummated by the Seller with Sanofi-Aventis instead of the Purchaser. Sanofi-Aventis was formally notified of the transaction on April 8, 2009, after Infraserv GmbH & Co. Hoechst KG, the operator of the Industriepark Hoeschst, consented to the transfer of the real property rights. Under the terms of the Insulin Agreement, the Company will purchase a portion of the Seller’s inventory of bulk insulin as well as the Seller’s and Pfizer’s rights under a license to manufacture insulin for pulmonary delivery. The Seller will also grant the Company an option to purchase the remainder of the Seller’s bulk insulin inventory, in whole or in part, at a specified price, to the extent that the Seller has not otherwise disposed of or used its retained bulk insulin. The closing of the Insulin Agreement is subject only to the closing of the Purchase Agreement, either with the Purchaser or with Sanofi-Aventis.
At the Purchaser’s option, up to $30.0 million (or more if the aggregate purchase price is increased as described above) worth of the Company’s common stock may be issued to the Seller at closing and applied toward the full purchase price.
Included in other assets as of March 31, 2009 is a deposit of $10.0 million made by the Company to the Seller to be held pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement until the transactions contemplated by such agreement are consummated. In the event Sanofi-Aventis exercises its right of first refusal and the Company and the Purchaser do not consummate the transaction contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the deposit will be promptly returned to the Company by the Seller.
14. Subsequent event
On April 2, 2009, the Company implemented cost savings initiatives which included a reduction in force affecting 113 employees. The Company expects to record approximately $1.9 million in expense in the second quarter of 2009 for employee severance and other related termination benefits. Severance payments are expected to be paid in full by the end of the second quarter.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth below in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”). These interim condensed financial statements and this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both of which are contained in the Annual Report. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they are made.
OVERVIEW
We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutic products for diseases such as diabetes and cancer. Our lead product candidate, AFRESA, is an ultra rapid-acting insulin. In March 2009, the Company submitted an NDA to the FDA requesting approval of AFRESA for the treatment of adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia. We believe that the performance characteristics, unique kinetics, convenience and ease of use of AFRESA may have the potential to change the way diabetes is treated.
We are a development stage enterprise and have incurred significant losses since our inception in 1991. As of March 31, 2009, we have incurred a cumulative net loss of $1.5 billion. To date, we have not generated any product revenues and have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and convertible debt securities. As discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”, if we are unable to obtain additional funding, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We do not expect to record sales of any product prior to regulatory approval and commercialization of AFRESA. We currently do not have the required approvals to market any of our product candidates, and we may not receive such approvals. We may not be profitable even if we succeed in commercializing any of our product candidates. We expect to make substantial expenditures and to incur additional operating losses for at least the next several years as we:
    continue the clinical development of AFRESA for the treatment of diabetes;
 
    seek regulatory approval to sell AFRESA in the United States and other markets;
 
    expand our manufacturing operations for AFRESA to meet our currently anticipated commercial production needs;
 
    expand our other research, discovery and development programs;
 
    expand our proprietary Technosphere platform technology and develop additional applications for the pulmonary delivery of other drugs; and
 
    enter into sales and marketing collaborations with other companies, if available on commercially reasonable terms, or develop these capabilities ourselves.
Our business is subject to significant risks, including but not limited to the risks inherent in our ongoing clinical trials and the regulatory approval process, the results of our research and development efforts, competition from other products and technologies and uncertainties associated with obtaining and enforcing patent rights.

Research and Development Expenses
     Our research and development expenses consist mainly of costs associated with the clinical trials of our product candidates that have not yet received regulatory approval for marketing and for which no alternative future use has been identified. This includes the salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation of research and development personnel, raw materials, such as insulin purchases, laboratory supplies and materials, facility costs, costs for consultants and related contract research, licensing fees, and depreciation of laboratory equipment. We track research and development costs by the type of cost incurred. We partially offset research and development expenses with the recognition of estimated amounts receivable from the State of Connecticut pursuant to a program under which we can exchange qualified research and development income tax credits for cash. Included in research and development expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were purchases of insulin totaling $2.0 million.
     Our research and development staff conducts our internal research and development activities, which include research, product development, clinical development, manufacturing and related activities. This staff is located in our facilities in Valencia, California; Paramus, New Jersey; and Danbury, Connecticut. We expense our research and development costs as we incur them.
     Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success and total costs vary widely. We are focused primarily on advancing AFRESA through regulatory filings. Based on the results of preclinical studies, we plan to develop additional applications of our Technosphere technology. Additionally, we anticipate that we will continue to determine which research and development projects to pursue, and how much funding to direct to each project, on an ongoing basis, in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate. We cannot be certain when any revenues from the commercialization of our products will commence.
     At this time, due to the risks inherent in the clinical trial process and given the early stage of development of our product candidates other than AFRESA, we are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs that we will incur in the continued development of our product candidates for commercialization. The costs required to complete the development of AFRESA will be largely dependent on the cost and efficiency of our manufacturing process and discussions with the FDA on its requirements.
General and Administrative Expenses
     Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, benefits and stock-based compensation for administrative, finance, business development, human resources, legal and information systems support personnel. In addition, general and administrative expenses include professional service fees and business insurance costs.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies as described in Item 7 of our Annual Report.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008
Revenues
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we did not recognize any revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recognized $20,000 in revenue under a license agreement. We do not anticipate sales of any product prior to regulatory approval and commercialization of AFRESA.
Research and Development Expenses
The following table provides a comparison of the research and development expense categories for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):

Table of Contents

The decrease in research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, was primarily due to decreased costs associated with the clinical development of AFRESA as we completed our pivotal AFRESA trials during 2008, as well as decreases in manufacturing costs associated with raw material purchases. Future research and development expenses depend on whether Sanofi-Aventis exercises its right of first refusal to purchase certain assets that are the subject of the Purchase Agreement. If Sanofi-Aventis exercises its right of first refusal and the transactions contemplated under the Purchase Agreement are not consummated, we anticipate that our research and development expenses will decrease in 2009 since we have completed our pivotal AFRESA clinical trials and the expansion of our commercial manufacturing facilities during 2008, as well as due to decreased salary-related costs associated with the reduction in force in April 2009. If Sanofi-Aventis does not exercise its right of first refusal and the transactions are consummated by MannKind Deutschland and us, we expect an immediate increase in research and development costs related to the operation of the new facility. (See Note 13 — Pfizer agreement, of the Notes to the accompanying financial statements.)
General and Administrative Expenses
The following table provides a comparison of the general and administrative expense categories for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands):
                                 
    Three months ended                
    March 31,             %  
    2009     2008     $ Change     Change  
Salaries, employee related and other general expenses
  $ 12,575     $ 13,410     $ (835 )     (6 )%
Stock-based compensation expense
    2,342       2,230       112       5 %
 
                         
General and administrative expenses
  $ 14,917     $ 15,640     $ (723 )     (5 )%
 
                         
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the purchase of patents from Emisphere Technologies, Inc. during the first quarter of 2008, offset by increased professional fees related to the pending transaction with Pfizer (See Note 13 — Pfizer agreement, of the Notes to the accompanying financial statements). We expect general and administrative expenses to increase slightly in 2009 as a result of increased professional fees.
Interest Income and Expense
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $2.9 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower market interest rates and a lower investment balance. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased $1.4 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in capitalized interest related to the Danbury, Connecticut plant expansion and the interest expense related to amounts outstanding under the borrowing arrangement with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder (see Note 10 — Related-party loan arrangement, of the Notes to the accompanying financial statements).
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities and convertible debt securities.
In October 2007, we entered into a loan arrangement with our principal stockholder allowing us to borrow up to a total of $350.0 million before January 1, 2010. On February 26, 2009, as a result of our principal stockholder being licensed as a finance lender under the California Finance Lenders Law, the promissory note underlying the loan arrangement was revised to reflect the lender as The Mann Group LLC, an entity controlled by our principal stockholder. This new license also eliminated the need for draw restrictions under the previous loan arrangement and we are now able to borrow up to a total of $350.0 million from time to time with appropriate notice to the lender. Interest will accrue on each outstanding advance at a fixed rate equal to the one-year LIBOR rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date of such advance plus 3% per annum and will be payable quarterly in arrears. Principal repayment is due on December 31, 2011. At any time after January 1, 2010, the lender can require us to prepay up to $200.0 million in

15


Table of Contents

advances that have been outstanding for at least 12 months. If the lender exercises this right, we will have until the earlier of 180 days after the lender provides written notice or December 31, 2011 to prepay such advances. In the event of a default, all unpaid principal and interest either becomes immediately due and payable or may be accelerated at the lender’s option, and the interest rate will increase to the one-year LIBOR rate calculated on the date of the initial advance or in effect on the date of default, whichever is greater, plus 5% per annum. Any borrowings under the loan arrangement will be unsecured. The loan arrangement contains no financial covenants. There are no warrants associated with the loan arrangement, nor are advances convertible into our common stock. As of March 31, 2009, the amount borrowed and outstanding under the arrangement was $90.0 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we used $60.7 million of cash for our operations compared to using $74.3 million for our operations in the three months ended March 31, 2008. We had a net loss of $59.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009, of which $10.4 million consisted of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization, and stock-based compensation. We expect our negative operating cash flow to continue at least until we obtain regulatory approval and achieve commercialization of AFRESA.
We generated $178,000 of cash from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to spending $24.9 million of cash for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, we made a deposit of $10.0 million to Pfizer to be held pending consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (see Note 13- Pfizer agreement, of the Notes to the accompanying financial statements). For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, $5.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, were used to purchase machinery and equipment to expand our manufacturing operations and our quality systems that support clinical trials for AFRESA.
Our financing activities generated $60.0 million of cash for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to using $39,000 for the same period in 2008. For 2009, cash from financing activities was primarily from the related party borrowings received, as well as the exercise of stock awards.
As of March 31, 2009, we had $27.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. Although we believe our existing cash resources, including the $260.0 million remaining available under our loan arrangement with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated cash requirements through the first quarter of 2010, we will require significant additional financing in the future to fund our operations and if we are unable to do so, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to raise additional capital, either through the sale of equity and/or debt securities, a strategic business collaboration with a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company or the establishment of other funding facilities, in order to continue the development and commercialization of AFRESA and other product candidates and to support our other ongoing activities.
We intend to use our capital resources to continue the development and commercialization of AFRESA, if approved, and to develop additional applications for our proprietary Technosphere platform technology. In addition, portions of our capital resources will be devoted to expanding our other product development programs for the treatment of different types of cancers. We are expending a portion of our capital to scale up our manufacturing capabilities in our Danbury facilities. We also intend to use our capital resources for general corporate purposes, which may include in-licensing or acquiring additional technologies.
We have been holding extensive discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies concerning a potential strategic business collaboration for AFRESA. To date, we have not reached agreement with any of these companies on a collaboration. Although we are continuing to engage in such discussions, we cannot predict when, if ever, we could conclude such an agreement with a partner. There can be no assurance that any such collaboration will be available to us on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all.
If we enter into a strategic business collaboration with a pharmaceutical or biotechnology company, we would expect, as part of the transaction, to receive additional capital. In addition, we expect to pursue the sale of equity and/or debt securities, or the establishment of other funding facilities. Issuances of debt or additional equity could impact the rights of our existing stockholders, dilute the ownership percentages of our existing stockholders and may impose restrictions on our operations. These restrictions could include limitations on additional borrowing, specific restrictions on the use of our assets as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem our stock or make investments. We also may seek to raise additional capital by pursuing opportunities for the licensing, sale or divestiture of certain intellectual property and other assets, including our Technosphere technology platform. There can be no assurance, however, that any strategic collaboration, sale of securities or sale or license of assets will be available to us on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital, we may be required to enter into agreements

with third parties to develop or commercialize products or technologies that we otherwise would have sought to develop independently, and any such agreements may not be on terms as commercially favorable to us.
However, we cannot provide assurances that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. If planned operating results are not achieved or we are not successful in raising additional equity financing or entering a business collaboration, we may be required to reduce expenses through the delay, reduction or curtailment of our projects, including AFRESA development activities, or further reduction of costs for facilities and administration, and there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2009 we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
The only material change to our contractual obligations disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report was the additional borrowing of $60.0 million from an entity controlled by our principal stockholder during the three months ended March 31, 2009. (See Note 10 — Related-party loan arrangement of the Notes to the accompanying financial statements.)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
On April 9, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued three Staff Positions (“FSPs”): FSP No. FAS 157-4 “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP No. FAS 157-4”); FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”); and FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 “Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP No. FAS 157-4 provides application guidance on measuring fair value when the volume and level of activity has significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly. FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 provides a new other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities only which shifts the focus from an entity’s intent to hold until recovery to its intent to sell. FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-4 expands the fair value disclosures required for all financial instruments within the scope of FASB Statement No. 107 “Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments” to interim periods. All three FSPs are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of these FSPs to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF No. 07-1), which discusses how parties to a collaborative arrangement (which does not establish a legal entity within such arrangement) should account for various activities. EITF 07-1 indicated that costs incurred and revenues generated from transactions with third parties (i.e. parties outside of the collaborative arrangement) should be reported by the collaborators on the respective line items in their income statements pursuant to EITF Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent”, Additionally, EITF 07-1 provided that income statement characterization of payments between the participants in a collaborative arrangement should be based upon existing authoritative pronouncements; analogy to such pronouncements if not within their scope; or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. The adoption of EITF No. 07-1 did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” and FASB Statement No. 160, “Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51” (“FASB Statement No. 160”). These standards significantly changed the accounting and reporting for business combination transactions and noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements, including capitalizing at the acquisition date the fair value of acquired in process research and development, and remeasuring and writing down these assets, if necessary, in subsequent periods during their development. These new standards will be applied prospectively for business combinations that occur on or after January 1, 2009, except that presentation and disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 160 regarding noncontrolling interests shall be applied retrospectively. Adoption of these statements did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows, but will have a significant effect on how acquisition transactions, subsequent to January 1, 2009, are reflected in the financial statements.

As of January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP No. APB 14-1 (“FSP No. APB 14-1”), “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments that may be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)”. FSP No. APB 14-1 established that the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments within the scope of FSP No. APB 14-1 shall be separately accounted for in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. The carrying amount of the liability component of the convertible debt instrument will be determined by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated equity component. The carrying value of the equity component will be determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the convertible debt instrument as a whole. Related transaction costs shall be allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of proceeds and accounted for as debt issuance costs and equity issuance costs, respectively. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount shall be amortized to interest cost using the interest method. The adoption of FSP No. APB 14-1 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
As of January 1, 2009, we adopted EITF Issue No. 07-5 “Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” (“EITF No. 07-5”). Paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities” specified that a contract that would otherwise meet the definition of a derivative but is both (a) indexed to the Company’s own stock and (b) classified in stockholders’ equity in the statement of financial position would not be considered a derivative financial instrument. EITF No. 07-5 provided a new two-step model to be applied in determining whether a financial instrument or an embedded feature is indexed to an issuer’s own stock and thus able to qualify for the SFAS 133 paragraph 11(a) scope exception. The adoption of EITF No. 07-5 did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates impacting our short-term investment portfolio as well as the interest rate on our credit facility with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder. The interest rate on our credit facility with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder is a fixed rate equal to the one-year LIBOR rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the date of such advance plus 3% per annum. Our current policy requires us to maintain a highly liquid short-term investment portfolio consisting mainly of U.S. money market funds and investment-grade corporate, government and municipal debt. None of these investments is entered into for trading purposes. Our cash is deposited in and invested through highly rated financial institutions in North America. Our short-term investments at March 31, 2009 are comprised mainly of a certificate of deposit and a common stock investment. We have entered into a foreign exchange derivative hedging transaction as part of our risk management program. We continue to utilize our $350.0 million credit facility to fund operations. The interest rate is fixed at the time of the draw. If interest rates were to increase from levels at March 31, 2009 we could experience a higher level of interest expense than assumed in our current operating plan.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer performed an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2009. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should consider carefully the following information about the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q before you decide to buy or maintain an investment in our common stock. We believe the risks described below are the risks that are material to us as of the date of this quarterly report. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of may also become important factors that affect us. The risk factors set forth below with an asterisk (*) next to the title contain changes to the description of the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A to our annual report on Form 10-K. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of the money you paid to buy our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
We have a history of operating losses, we expect to continue to incur losses and we may never become profitable.*
We are a development stage company with no commercial products. All of our product candidates are still being developed, and all but AFRESA are still in the early stages of development. Our product candidates will require significant additional development, clinical trials, regulatory clearances and additional investment before they can be commercialized. We anticipate that AFRESA will not be commercially available for at least one year, if at all.
We have never been profitable and, as of March 31, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $1.5 billion. The accumulated deficit has resulted principally from costs incurred in our research and development programs, the write-off of goodwill and general operating expenses. We expect to make substantial expenditures and to incur increasing operating losses in the future in order to further develop and commercialize our product candidates, including costs and expenses to complete clinical trials, seek regulatory approvals and market our product candidates, including AFRESA. This accumulated deficit may increase significantly as we expand development and clinical trial efforts.
Our losses have had, and are expected to continue to have, an adverse impact on our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Our ability to achieve and sustain profitability depends upon obtaining regulatory approvals for and successfully commercializing AFRESA, either alone or with third parties. We do not currently have the required approvals to market any of our product candidates, and we may not receive them. We may not be profitable even if we succeed in commercializing any of our product candidates. As a result, we cannot be sure when we will become profitable, if at all.
If we fail to raise additional capital, our financial condition and business would suffer.
It is costly to develop therapeutic product candidates and conduct clinical trials for these product candidates. Although we are currently focusing on AFRESA as our lead product candidate, we have begun to conduct clinical trials for additional product candidates. Although development of AFRESA has been completed, our existing capital resources will not be sufficient to support the expense of fully commercializing AFRESA or development of any of our other product candidates.
Based upon our current expectations, we believe that our existing capital resources, including the loan arrangement with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder, will enable us to continue planned operations through the first quarter of 2010. However, we cannot assure you that our plans will not change or that changed circumstances will not result in the depletion of our capital resources more rapidly than we currently anticipate. Accordingly, we plan to raise additional capital, either through the sale of equity and/or debt securities, a strategic business collaboration or the establishment of other funding facilities, in order to continue the development and commercialization of AFRESA and other product candidates and to support our other ongoing activities. However, due to current

19


Table of Contents

turbulence in the U.S. and global financial markets, it may be difficult for us to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. The amount of additional funds we need will depend on a number of factors, including:
    the rate of progress and costs of our clinical trials and research and development activities, including costs of procuring clinical materials and expanding our own manufacturing facilities;
 
    our success in establishing strategic business collaborations and the timing and amount of any payments we might receive from any collaboration we are able to establish;
 
    actions taken by the FDA and other regulatory authorities affecting our products and competitive products;
 
    our degree of success in commercializing AFRESA;
 
    the emergence of competing technologies and products and other adverse market developments;
 
    the timing and amount of payments we might receive from potential licensees;
 
    the costs of preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights or defending against claims of infringement by others;
 
    the costs of discontinuing projects and technologies or decommissioning existing facilities, if we undertake those activities; and
 
    the costs of performing additional clinical trials to demonstrate safety and efficacy if our current trials do not deliver results sufficient for FDA approval and commercialization.
We have raised capital in the past primarily through the sale of equity securities and most currently through the sale of equity and debt securities. We may in the future pursue the sale of additional equity and/or debt securities, or the establishment of other funding facilities. Issuances of additional debt or equity securities or the conversion of any of our currently outstanding convertible debt securities into shares of our common stock could impact your rights as a holder of our common stock and may dilute your ownership percentage. Moreover, the establishment of other funding facilities may impose restrictions on our operations. These restrictions could include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens, pay dividends, redeem our stock or make investments.
We also may seek to raise additional capital by pursuing opportunities for the licensing or sale of certain intellectual property and other assets, including our Technosphere technology platform. We cannot offer assurances, however, that any strategic collaborations, sales of securities or sales or licenses of assets will be available to us on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. We may be required to enter into relationships with third parties to develop or commercialize products or technologies that we otherwise would have sought to develop independently, and any such relationships may not be on terms as commercially favorable to us as might otherwise be the case.
In the event that sufficient additional funds are not obtained through strategic collaboration opportunities, sales of securities, licensing arrangements and/or asset sales on a timely basis, we may be required to reduce expenses through the delay, reduction or curtailment of our projects, including AFRESA commercialization, or further reduction of costs for facilities and administration. Moreover, if we do not obtain such additional funds, there will be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The current financial crisis and deteriorating economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the loan facility with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder, which we currently cannot predict.
As widely reported, economic conditions in the United States and globally have been deteriorating. Financial markets in the United States, Europe and Asia have been experiencing a period of unprecedented turmoil and upheaval characterized by extreme volatility and declines in security prices, severely diminished liquidity and credit availability, inability to access capital markets, the bankruptcy, failure, collapse or sale of various financial institutions and an unprecedented level of intervention from the United States federal government and other governments. We cannot predict the impact of these events on the loan facility with an entity controlled by our principal stockholder. If we are unable to draw on this financial resource, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.

We depend heavily on the successful development and commercialization of our lead product candidate, AFRESA, which has completed clinical development, and our other product candidates, which are in early clinical or preclinical development.*
To date, we have not completed the development of any product candidates through to commercialization. In March 2009, we submitted an NDA to the FDA requesting approval of AFRESA for the treatment of adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia and our other product candidates are generally in early clinical or preclinical development. We anticipate that in the near term, our ability to generate revenues will depend solely on the successful development and commercialization of AFRESA.
We have expended significant time, money and effort in the development of our lead product candidate, AFRESA, which has not yet received regulatory approval and which may never be commercialized. We must receive the necessary approvals from the FDA and similar foreign regulatory agencies before AFRESA can be marketed and sold in the United States or elsewhere. Even if we were to receive regulatory approval, we ultimately may be unable to gain market acceptance of AFRESA for a variety of reasons, including the treatment and dosage regimen, potential adverse effects, the availability of alternative treatments and cost effectiveness. If we fail to commercialize AFRESA, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected.
We are seeking to develop and expand our portfolio of product candidates through our internal research programs and through licensing or otherwise acquiring the rights to therapeutics in the areas of cancer and other indications. All of these product candidates will require additional research and development and significant preclinical, clinical and other testing prior to seeking regulatory approval to market them. Accordingly, these product candidates will not be commercially available for a number of years, if at all.
A significant portion of the research that we are conducting involves new and unproven compounds and technologies, including AFRESA, Technosphere platform technology and immunotherapy product candidates. Research programs to identify new product candidates require substantial technical, financial and human resources. Even if our research programs identify candidates that initially show promise, these candidates may fail to progress to clinical development for any number of reasons, including discovery upon further research that these candidates have adverse effects or other characteristics that indicate they are unlikely to be effective. In addition, the clinical results we obtain at one stage are not necessarily indicative of future testing results. If we fail to successfully complete the development and commercialization of AFRESA or develop or expand our other product candidates, or are significantly delayed in doing so, our business and results of operations will be harmed and the value of our stock could decline.
If we do not achieve our projected development and commercialization goals in the timeframes we announce and expect, our business would be harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline.
For planning purposes, we estimate the timing of the accomplishment of various scientific, clinical, regulatory and other product development goals, which we sometimes refer to as milestones. These milestones may include the commencement or completion of scientific studies and clinical trials and the submission of regulatory filings. From time to time, we publicly announce the expected timing of some of these milestones. All of these milestones are based on a variety of assumptions. The actual timing of the achievement of these milestones can vary dramatically from our estimates, in many cases for reasons beyond our control, depending on numerous factors, including:
    the rate of progress, costs and results of our clinical trial and research and development activities, which will be impacted by the level of proficiency and experience of our clinical staff;
 
    our ability to identify and enroll patients who meet clinical trial eligibility criteria;
 
    our ability to access sufficient, reliable and affordable supplies of components used in the manufacture of our product candidates, including insulin and other materials for AFRESA;
 
    the costs of expanding and maintaining manufacturing operations, as necessary;
 
    the extent of scheduling conflicts with participating clinicians and clinical institutions;
 
    the receipt of approvals by our competitors and by us from the FDA and other regulatory agencies; and
 
    other actions by regulators.

Table of Contents

In addition, if we do not obtain sufficient additional funds through sales of securities, strategic collaborations or the license or sale of certain of our assets on a timely basis, we may be required to reduce expenses by delaying, reducing or curtailing our development of AFRESA or other product development activities, which would impact our ability to meet milestones. If we fail to commence or complete, or experience delays in or are forced to curtail, our proposed clinical programs or otherwise fail to adhere to our projected development goals in the timeframes we announce and expect, our business and results of operations will be harmed and the market price of our common stock may decline.
We face substantial competition in the development of our product candidates and may not be able to compete successfully, and our product candidates may be rendered obsolete by rapid technological change.
A number of established pharmaceutical companies have or are developing technologies for the treatment of diabetes. We also face substantial competition for the development of our other product candidates.
Many of our existing or potential competitors have, or have access to, substantially greater financial, research and development, production, and sales and marketing resources than we do and have a greater depth and number of experienced managers. As a result, our competitors may be better equipped than we are to develop, manufacture, market and sell competing products. In addition, gaining favorable reimbursement is critical to the success of AFRESA. Many of our competitors have existing infrastructure and relationships with managed care organizations and reimbursement authorities which can be used to their advantage.
The rapid rate of scientific discoveries and technological changes could result in one or more of our product candidates becoming obsolete or noncompetitive. Our competitors may develop or introduce new products that render our technology and AFRESA less competitive, uneconomical or obsolete. Our future success will depend not only on our ability to develop our product candidates but to improve them and keep pace with emerging industry developments. We cannot assure you that we will be able to do so.
We also expect to face increasing competition from universities and other non-profit research organizations. These institutions carry out a significant amount of research and development in the areas of diabetes and cancer. These institutions are becoming increasingly aware of the commercial value of their findings and are more active in seeking patent and other proprietary rights as well as licensing revenues.
If we fail to enter into a strategic collaboration with respect to AFRESA, we may not be able to execute on our business model.*
We have held extensive discussions with a number of pharmaceutical companies concerning a potential strategic business collaboration for AFRESA. To date, we have not reached agreement with any of these companies on a collaboration. On April 10, 2008, we announced our decision to suspend partnership discussions as we believed that, given the existing market conditions, we would have been unable to achieve an appropriate valuation for AFRESA until Phase 3 data were available. Following the completion of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trials, we restarted partnership discussions. However, we cannot predict when, if ever, we could conclude such an agreement with a partner. There can be no assurance that any such collaboration will be available to us on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are not able to enter into a collaboration on terms that are favorable to us, we may be unable to undertake and fund product development, clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing activities at our own expense. Accordingly, we may have to substantially reduce our development efforts, which would delay or otherwise impede the commercialization of AFRESA.
We will face similar challenges as we seek to develop our other product candidates. Our current strategy for developing, manufacturing and commercializing our other product candidates includes evaluating the potential for collaborating with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies at some point in the drug development process and for these collaborators to undertake the advanced clinical development and commercialization of our product candidates. It may be difficult for us to find third parties that are willing to enter into collaborations on economic terms that are favorable to us, or at all. Failure to enter into a collaboration with respect to any other product candidate could substantially increase our requirements for capital and force us to substantially reduce our development effort.
If we enter into collaborative agreements with respect to AFRESA and if our third-party collaborators do not perform satisfactorily or if our collaborations fail, development or commercialization of AFRESA may be delayed and our business could be harmed.

22


Table of Contents

We currently rely on clinical research organizations and hospitals to conduct, supervise or monitor some or all aspects of clinical trials involving AFRESA. Further, we may also enter into license agreements, partnerships or other collaborative arrangements to support the financing, development and marketing of AFRESA. We may also license technology from others to enhance or supplement our technologies. These various collaborators may enter into arrangements that would make them potential competitors. These various collaborators also may breach their agreements with us and delay our progress or fail to perform under their agreements, which could harm our business.
If we enter into collaborative arrangements, we will have less control over the timing, planning and other aspects of our clinical trials, and the sale and marketing of AFRESA and our other product candidates. We cannot offer assurances that we will be able to enter into satisfactory arrangements with third parties as contemplated or that any of our existing or future collaborations will be successful.
Continued testing of AFRESA or another product candidate may not yield successful results, and even if it does, we may still be unable to commercialize that product candidate.
Our research and development programs are designed to test the safety and efficacy of AFRESA and our other product candidates through extensive nonclinical and clinical testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, the testing process that could delay or prevent commercialization of AFRESA or any of our other product candidates, including the following:
    safety and efficacy results obtained in our nonclinical and initial clinical testing may be inconclusive or may not be predictive of results obtained in later-stage clinical trials or following long-term use, and we may as a result be forced to stop developing product candidates that we currently believe are important to our future;
 
    the data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates may not be sufficient to support FDA or other regulatory approval;
 
    after reviewing test results, we or any potential collaborators may abandon projects that we previously believed were promising; and
 
    our product candidates may not produce the desired effects or may result in adverse health effects or other characteristics that preclude regulatory approval or limit their commercial use if approved.
We have completed a pivotal Phase 3 safety study of AFRESA to evaluate pulmonary function, with multiple uses per day, over a period of two years. The results of our Phase 3 clinical trials are limited to the size and timeframe these clinical trials have been conducted. Forecasts about the effects of the use of drugs, including AFRESA, over terms longer than the clinical trials or in much larger populations may not be consistent with the clinical results. If use of AFRESA results in adverse health effects or reduced efficacy or both, the FDA or other regulatory agencies may terminate our ability to market and sell AFRESA, may narrow the approved indications for use or otherwise require restrictive product labeling or marketing, or may require further clinical trials, which may be time-consuming and expensive and may not produce favorable results.
As a result of any of these events, we, any collaborator, the FDA, or any other regulatory authorities, may suspend or terminate clinical trials or marketing of AFRESA at any time. Any suspension or termination of our clinical trials or marketing activities may harm our business and results of operations and the market price of our common stock may decline.
If we are unable to transition successfully from a development company to a company that commercializes therapeutics, our operations would suffer.
We require a well-structured plan to make the transition from the development-stage to being a company with commercial operations. We have a number of executive personnel, particularly in clinical development, regulatory and manufacturing production, including personnel with significant Phase 3-to-commercialization experience. We have aligned our management structure to accommodate the increasing complexity of our operations, and we have implemented the following measures, among others, to accommodate our transition, complete development of AFRESA and successfully implement our commercialization strategy for AFRESA:

23


Table of Contents

    develop comprehensive and detailed commercialization, clinical development and regulatory plans; and
 
    implement standard operating procedures, including those for protocol development.
If we are unable to accomplish these measures in a timely manner, we would be at considerable risk of failing to:
    develop manufacturing capabilities to be ready for FDA inspection and commercial operations; and
 
    develop the key clinical data needed to obtain regulatory approval and compete successfully in the marketplace.
If our suppliers fail to deliver materials and services needed for the production of AFRESA in a timely and sufficient manner, or they fail to comply with applicable regulations, our business and results of operations would be harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline.*
For AFRESA to be commercially viable, we need access to sufficient, reliable and affordable supplies of insulin, our AFRESA inhaler, the related cartridges and other materials. In November 2007, we entered into a long-term supply agreement with N.V. Organon, which is currently our sole supplier for insulin. In March 2009, we entered into agreements with Pfizer Inc. to purchase Pfizer’s insulin facility and assets related to the production of bulk insulin, including the relevant real property rights, the production equipment, a quantity of bulk insulin and a license to manufacture bulk insulin for use in pulmonary delivery. These transactions will not close unless and until certain conditions precedent (as set forth in the agreements) are satisfied.
We have obtained our AFRESA precursor raw material from two sources both of which are major chemical manufacturers with facilities in Europe and North America. We have recently completed a successful validation campaign at commercial scale of FDKP. We can also utilize our in-house chemical manufacturing plant for supplemental capacity. We believe both manufacturers have the capacity to supply our current clinical and future commercial requirements. We have obtained our AFRESA inhaler and cartridges from two large plastic molding companies. We must rely on our suppliers to comply with relevant regulatory and other legal requirements, including the production of insulin in accordance with cGMP and the production of AFRESA inhaler and related cartridges in accordance with device QSR. The supply of all of these materials may be limited or the manufacturer may not meet relevant regulatory requirements, and if we are unable to obtain these materials in sufficient amounts, in a timely manner and at reasonable prices, or if we should encounter delays or difficulties in our relationships with manufacturers or suppliers, the development or manufacturing of AFRESA may be delayed. Any such events would delay market introduction and subsequent sales of AFRESA and, if so, our business and results of operations will be harmed and the market price of our common stock may decline.
We have never manufactured AFRESA or any other product candidate in commercial quantities, and if we fail to develop an effective manufacturing capability for our product candidates or to engage third-party manufacturers with this capability, we may be unable to commercialize these products.*
We have obtained our AFRESA precursor raw material from two sources. We use our new, expanded Danbury, Connecticut facility to formulate AFRESA, fill plastic cartridges with AFRESA and blister package the cartridges for our clinical trials. We recently completed qualification procedures for the formulation, fill and finishing processes at this facility.
We have manufactured AFRESA in commercial quantities in our Danbury facility also. However, the facility is still undergoing the rigorous testing and regulatory inspection processes that are expected to result in approval to manufacture. The manufacture of pharmaceutical products requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls. Manufacturers of pharmaceutical products often encounter difficulties in production, especially in scaling up initial production. These problems include difficulties with production costs and yields, quality control and assurance and shortages of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with strictly enforced federal, state and foreign regulations. In addition, before we would be able to produce commercial quantities of AFRESA at our Danbury facility, it would have to undergo a pre-approval inspection by the FDA. If we engage a third-party manufacturer, our third-party manufacturer may not perform as agreed or may terminate its agreement with us.
Additionally, if we manufacture commercial material at a different facility than the site of manufacture of clinical trial materials or if we manufacture commercial material on a significantly larger production scale than the production scale for clinical trial materials, we

may be required by the FDA to establish that the results obtained from the clinical trials may reasonably be extrapolated to such commercial material.
Any of these factors could cause us to delay or suspend clinical trials, regulatory submissions, required approvals or commercialization of our product candidates, entail higher costs and result in our being unable to effectively commercialize our products. Furthermore, if we or a third-party manufacturer fail to deliver the required commercial quantities of any product on a timely basis, and at commercially reasonable prices and acceptable quality, and we were unable to promptly find one or more replacement manufacturers capable of production at a substantially equivalent cost, in substantially equivalent volume and quality on a timely basis, we would likely be unable to meet demand for such products and we would lose potential revenues.
We deal with hazardous materials and must comply with environmental laws and regulations, which can be expensive and restrict how we do business.
Our research and development work involves the controlled storage and use of hazardous materials, including chemical, radioactive and biological materials. In addition, our manufacturing operations involve the use of a chemical that is stable and non-hazardous under normal storage conditions, but may form an explosive mixture under certain conditions. Our operations also produce hazardous waste products. We are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing how we use, manufacture, store, handle and dispose of these materials. Moreover, the risk of accidental contamination or injury from hazardous materials cannot be completely eliminated, and in the event of an accident, we could be held liable for any damages that may result, and any liability could fall outside the coverage or exceed the limits of our insurance. Currently, our general liability policy provides coverage up to $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate and is supplemented by an umbrella policy that provides a further $4 million of coverage; however, our insurance policy excludes pollution coverage and we do not carry a separate hazardous materials policy. In addition, we could be required to incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the future. Finally, current or future environmental laws and regulations may impair our research, development or production efforts.
When we purchased the facilities located in Danbury, Connecticut in 2001, there was a soil cleanup plan in process. As part of the purchase, we obtained an indemnification from the seller related to the remediation of the soil for all known environmental conditions that existed at the time the seller acquired the property. The seller is, in turn, indemnified for these known environmental conditions by the previous owner. We completed the final stages of the soil cleanup plan in the third quarter of 2008 which cost approximately $2.25 million. We have also received an indemnification from the seller for environmental conditions created during its ownership of the property and for environmental problems unknown at the time that the seller acquired the property. These additional indemnities are limited to the purchase price that we paid for the Danbury facilities. We are currently pursuing collection of the clean-up costs and expenses from the seller or the party responsible for the contamination. If we are unable to collect the full amount of these costs and expenses, our business and results of operations may be harmed.
If we fail to enter into collaborations with third parties, we would be required to establish our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, which could impact the commercialization of our products and harm our business.
Our products will be used by a large number of healthcare professionals who require substantial education and support. For example, a broad base of physicians, including primary care physicians and endocrinologists, treat patients with diabetes. A large sales force will be required in order to educate these physicians about the benefits and advantages of AFRESA and to provide adequate support for them. Therefore, we plan to enter into collaborations with one or more pharmaceutical companies to market, distribute and sell AFRESA, if it is approved. If we fail to enter into collaborations, we would be required to establish our own direct sales, marketing and distribution capabilities. Establishing these capabilities can be time-consuming and expensive. Because we lack experience in selling pharmaceutical products to the diabetes market, we would be at a disadvantage compared to our potential competitors, all of whom have substantially more resources and experience than we do. For example, several other companies selling products to treat diabetes have existing sales forces in excess of 1,500 sales representatives. We, acting alone, would not initially be able to field a sales force as large as our competitors or provide the same degree of market research or marketing support. Also, we would not be able to match our competitor’s spending levels for pre-launch marketing preparation, including medical education. We cannot assure you that we will succeed in entering into acceptable collaborations, that any such collaboration will be successful or, if not, that we will successfully develop our own sales, marketing and distribution capabilities.
If any product that we may develop does not become widely accepted by physicians, patients, third-party payers and the healthcare community, we may be unable to generate significant revenue, if any.

25


Table of Contents

AFRESA and our other product candidates are new and unproven. Even if any of our product candidates obtains regulatory approvals, it may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients, third-party payers and the healthcare community. Failure to achieve market acceptance would limit our ability to generate revenue and would adversely affect our results of operations.
    The degree of market acceptance of AFRESA and our other product candidates will depend on many factors, including the:
    claims for which FDA approval can be obtained, including superiority claims;
 
    perceived advantages and disadvantages of competitive products;
 
    willingness and ability of patients and the healthcare community to adopt new technologies;
 
    ability to manufacture the product in sufficient quantities with acceptable quality and at an acceptable cost;
 
    perception of patients and the healthcare community, including third-party payers, regarding the safety, efficacy and benefits of the product compared to those of competing products or therapies;
 
    convenience and ease of administration of the product relative to existing treatment methods;
 
    pricing and reimbursement of the product relative to other treatment therapeutics and methods; and
 
    marketing and distribution support for the product.
Physicians will not recommend a product until clinical data or other factors demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the product as compared to other treatments. Even if the clinical safety and efficacy of our product candidates is established, physicians may elect not to recommend these product candidates for a variety of factors, including the reimbursement policies of government and third-party payers and the effectiveness of our competitors in marketing their therapies. Because of these and other factors, any product that we may develop may not gain market acceptance, which would materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If third-party payers do not reimburse customers for our products, our products might not be used or purchased, which would adversely affect our revenues.
Our future revenues and potential for profitability may be affected by the continuing efforts of governments and third-party payers to contain or reduce the costs of healthcare through various means. For example, in certain foreign markets the pricing of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control. In the United States, there has been, and we expect that there will continue to be, a number of federal and state proposals to implement similar governmental controls. We cannot be certain what legislative proposals will be adopted or what actions federal, state or private payers for healthcare goods and services may take in response to any healthcare reform proposals or legislation. Such reforms may make it difficult to complete the development and testing of AFRESA and our other product candidates, and therefore may limit our ability to generate revenues from sales of our product candidates and achieve profitability. Further, to the extent that such reforms have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and profitability of other companies that are prospective collaborators for some of our product candidates, our ability to commercialize our product candidates under development may be adversely affected.
In the United States and elsewhere, sales of prescription pharmaceuticals still depend in large part on the availability of reimbursement to the consumer from third-party payers, such as governmental and private insurance plans. Third-party payers are increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services. In addition, because each third-party payer individually approves reimbursement, obtaining these approvals is a time-consuming and costly process. We would be required to provide scientific and clinical support for the use of any product to each third-party payer separately with no assurance that approval would be obtained. This process could delay the market acceptance of any product and could have a negative effect on our future revenues and operating results. Even if we succeed in bringing one or more products to market, we cannot be certain that any such products would be considered cost-effective or that reimbursement to the consumer would be available, in which case our business and results of operations would be harmed and the market price of our common stock could decline.

If product liability claims are brought against us, we may incur significant liabilities and suffer damage to our reputation.
The testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of AFRESA and our other product candidates expose us to potential product liability claims. A product liability claim may result in substantial judgments as well as consume significant financial and management resources and result in adverse publicity, decreased demand for a product, injury to our reputation, withdrawal of clinical trial volunteers and loss of revenues. We currently carry worldwide liability insurance in the amount of $10 million. We believe these limits are reasonable to cover us from potential damages arising from current and previous clinical trials of AFRESA. In addition, we carry local policies per trial in each country in which we conduct clinical trials that require us to carry coverage based on local statutory requirements. We intend to obtain product liability coverage for commercial sales in the future if AFRESA is approved. However, we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage that will be adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise, and because insurance coverage in our industry can be very expensive and difficult to obtain, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient coverage at an acceptable cost, if at all. If losses from such claims exceed our liability insurance coverage, we may ourselves incur substantial liabilities. If we are required to pay a product liability claim our business and results of operations would be harmed and the market price of our common stock may decline.
If we lose any key employees or scientific advisors, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy could be materially harmed.
In order to commercialize our product candidates successfully, we will be required to expand our work force, particularly in the areas of manufacturing, clinical trials management, regulatory affairs, business development, and sales and marketing. These activities will require the addition of new personnel, including management, and the development of additional expertise by existing personnel. We face intense competition for qualified employees among companies in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries. Our success depends upon our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled employees. We may be unable to attract and retain these individuals on acceptable terms, if at all.
The loss of the services of any principal member of our management and scientific staff could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our scientific and business objectives. All of our employees are “at will” and we currently do not have employment agreements with any of the principal members of our management or scientific staff, and we do not have key person life insurance to cover the loss of any of these individuals. Replacing key employees may be difficult and time-consuming because of the limited number of individuals in our industry with the skills and experience required to develop, gain regulatory approval of and commercialize our product candidates successfully.
We have relationships with scientific advisors at academic and other institutions to conduct research or assist us in formulating our research, development or clinical strategy. These scientific advisors are not our employees and may have commitments to, and other obligations with, other entities that may limit their availability to us. We have limited control over the activities of these scientific advisors and can generally expect these individuals to devote only limited time to our activities. Failure of any of these persons to devote sufficient time and resources to our programs could harm our business. In addition, these advisors are not prohibited from, and may have arrangements with, other companies to assist those companies in developing technologies that may compete with our product candidates.
If our Chief Executive Officer is unable to devote sufficient time and attention to our business, our operations and our ability to execute our business strategy could be materially harmed.
Alfred Mann, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is involved in many other business and charitable activities. As a result, the time and attention Mr. Mann devotes to the operation of our business varies, and he may not expend the same time or focus on our activities as other, similarly situated chief executive officers. If Mr. Mann is unable to devote the time and attention necessary to running our business, we may not be able to execute our business strategy and our business could be materially harmed.
Our facilities that are located in Southern California may be affected by man-made or natural disasters.
Our headquarters and some of our research and development activities are located in Southern California, where they are subject to a risk of man-made disasters, terrorism, and an enhanced risk of natural and other disasters such as fires, power and telecommunications

27


Table of Contents

failures, mudslides, and earthquakes. An act of terrorism, fire, earthquake or other catastrophic loss that causes significant damage to our facilities or interruption of our business could harm our business. We do not carry insurance to cover losses caused by earthquakes, and the insurance coverage that we carry for fire damage and for business interruption may be insufficient to compensate us for any losses that we may incur.
If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, our business and stock price could be adversely affected.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires us to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of each fiscal year, and to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting in our annual report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year. Section 404 also requires our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, and report on, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud involving a company have been, or will be, detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We cannot assure you that we or our independent registered public accounting firm will not identify a material weakness in our internal controls in the future. A material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting would require management and our independent registered public accounting firm to evaluate our internal controls as ineffective. If our internal controls over financial reporting are not considered effective, we may experience a loss of public confidence, which could have an adverse effect on our business and on the market price of our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO REGULATORY APPROVALS
Our product candidates must undergo rigorous nonclinical and clinical testing and we must obtain regulatory approvals, which could be costly and time-consuming and subject us to unanticipated delays or prevent us from marketing any products.
Our research and development activities, as well as the manufacturing and marketing of our product candidates, including AFRESA, are subject to regulation, including regulation for safety, efficacy and quality, by the FDA in the United States and comparable authorities in other countries. FDA regulations and the regulation of comparable foreign regulatory authorities are wide-ranging and govern, among other things:
    product design, development, manufacture and testing;
 
    product labeling;
 
    product storage and shipping;
 
    pre-market clearance or approval;
 
    advertising and promotion; and
 
    product sales and distribution.
Clinical testing can be costly and take many years, and the outcome is uncertain and susceptible to varying interpretations. Based on our discussions with the FDA at a pre-NDA meeting, we conducted a study, prior to submitting our NDA, that assessed the bioequivalency of the inhaler used in our clinical trials to date with the modified version of the same inhaler that we intend to use for commercial purposes. The FDA did not request any other trials prior to NDA submission. However, we cannot be certain if or when the FDA might request additional studies, under what conditions such studies might be requested, or what the size or length of any

28


Table of Contents

such studies might be. The clinical trials of our product candidates may not be completed on schedule, the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies may order us to stop or modify our research, or these agencies may not ultimately approve any of our product candidates for commercial sale. The data collected from our clinical trials may not be sufficient to support regulatory approval of our various product candidates, including AFRESA. Even if we believe the data collected from our clinical trials are sufficient, the FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may disagree with our interpretation of the data. Our failure to adequately demonstrate the safety and efficacy of any of our product candidates would delay or prevent regulatory approval of our product candidates, which could prevent us from achieving profitability.
The requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials and manufacturing and marketing of our product candidates, including AFRESA, outside the United States vary widely from country to country. Foreign approvals may take longer to obtain than FDA approvals and can require, among other things, additional testing and different clinical trial designs. Foreign regulatory approval processes include essentially all of the risks associated with the FDA approval processes. Some of those agencies also must approve prices of the products. Approval of a product by the FDA does not ensure approval of the same product by the health authorities of other countries. In addition, changes in regulatory policy in the United States or in foreign countries for product approval during the period of product development and regulatory agency review of each submitted new application may cause delays or rejections.
The process of obtaining FDA and other required regulatory approvals, including foreign approvals, is expensive, often takes many years and can vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the products involved. We are not aware of any precedent for the successful commercialization of products based on our technology. On January 26, 2006, the FDA approved the first pulmonary insulin product, Exubera. This approval has had an impact on and, notwithstanding the voluntary withdrawal of the product from the market by its manufacturer, could still impact the development and registration of AFRESA in different ways, including: Exubera may be used as a reference for safety and efficacy evaluations of AFRESA, and the approval standards set for Exubera may be applied to other products that follow including AFRESA. The FDA has advised us that it will regulate AFRESA as a “combination product” because of the complex nature of the system that includes the combination of a new drug (AFRESA) and a new medical device (the AFRESA inhaler used to administer the insulin). The FDA indicated that the review of a future drug marketing application for AFRESA will involve three separate review groups of the FDA: (1) the Metabolic and Endocrine Drug Products Division; (2) the Pulmonary Drug Products Division; and (3) the Center for Devices and Radiological Health within the FDA that reviews medical devices. We currently understand that the Metabolic and Endocrine Drug Products Division will be the lead group and will obtain consulting reviews from the other two FDA groups. The FDA has not made an official final decision in this regard, however, and we can make no assurances at this time about what impact FDA review by multiple groups will have on the review and approval of our product or whether we are correct in our understanding of how AFRESA will be reviewed and approved.
Also, questions that have been raised about the safety of marketed drugs generally, including pertaining to the lack of adequate labeling, may result in increased cautiousness by the FDA in reviewing new drugs based on safety, efficacy, or other regulatory considerations and may result in significant delays in obtaining regulatory approvals. Such regulatory considerations may also result in the imposition of more restrictive drug labeling or marketing requirements as conditions of approval, which may significantly affect the marketability of our drug products. FDA review of AFRESA as a combination product therapy may lengthen the product development and regulatory approval process, increase our development costs and delay or prevent the commercialization of AFRESA.
We are developing AFRESA as a new treatment for diabetes utilizing unique, proprietary components. As a combination product, any changes to either the AFRESA inhaler, or AFRESA, including new suppliers, could possibly result in FDA requirements to repeat certain clinical studies. This means, for example, that switching to an alternate delivery system could require us to undertake additional clinical trials and other studies, which could significantly delay the development and commercialization of AFRESA. Our product candidates that are currently in development for the treatment of cancer also face similar obstacles and costs.
We currently expect that our inhaler will be reviewed for approval as part of the NDA for AFRESA. No assurances exist that we will not be required to obtain separate device clearances or approval for use of our inhaler with AFRESA. This may result in our being subject to medical device review user fees and to other device requirements to market our inhaler and may result in significant delays in commercialization. Even if the device component is approved as part of our NDA for AFRESA, numerous device regulatory requirements still apply to the device part of the drug-device combination.
We have only limited experience in filing and pursuing applications necessary to gain regulatory approvals, which may impede our ability to obtain timely approvals from the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies, if at all.

29


Table of Contents

We will not be able to commercialize AFRESA or any other product candidates until we have obtained regulatory approval. We have no experience as a company in late-stage regulatory filings, such as preparing and submitting NDAs, which may place us at risk of delays, overspending and human resources inefficiencies. Any delay in obtaining, or inability to obtain, regulatory approval could harm our business.
If we do not comply with regulatory requirements at any stage, whether before or after marketing approval is obtained, we may be subject to criminal prosecution, fined or forced to remove a product from the market or experience other adverse consequences, including restrictions or delays in obtaining regulatory marketing approval.
Even if we comply with regulatory requirements, we may not be able to obtain the labeling claims necessary or desirable for product promotion. We may also be required to undertake post-marketing trials. In addition, if we or other parties identify adverse effects after any of our products are on the market, or if manufacturing problems occur, regulatory approval may be withdrawn and a reformulation of our products, additional clinical trials, changes in labeling of, or indications of use for, our products and/or additional marketing applications may be required. If we encounter any of the foregoing problems, our business and results of operations will be harmed and the market price of our common stock may decline.
Even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, such approval may be limited and we will be subject to stringent, ongoing government regulation.*
Even if regulatory authorities approve any of our product candidates, they could approve less than the full scope of uses or labeling that we seek or otherwise require special warnings or other restrictions on use or marketing or could require potentially costly post-marketing follow-up clinical trials. Regulatory authorities may limit the segments of the diabetes population to which we or others may market AFRESA or limit the target population for our other product candidates. Based on currently available clinical studies, we believe that AFRESA may have certain advantages over currently approved insulin products including its approximation of the natural early insulin secretion normally seen in healthy individuals following the beginning of a meal. Nonetheless, there are no assurances that these or any other advantages of AFRESA will be agreed to by the FDA or otherwise included in product labeling or advertising and, as a result, AFRESA may not have our expected competitive advantages when compared to other insulin products.
The manufacture, marketing and sale of these product candidates will be subject to stringent and ongoing government regulation. The FDA may also withdraw product approvals if problems concerning safety or efficacy of the product occur following approval. In response to questions that have been raised about the safety of certain approved prescription products, including the lack of adequate warnings, the FDA and United States Congress are currently considering new regulatory and legislative approaches to advertising, monitoring and assessing the safety of marketed drugs, including legislation providing the FDA with authority to mandate labeling changes for approved pharmaceutical products, particularly those related to safety. We also cannot be sure that the current FDA and United States Congressional initiatives pertaining to ensuring the safety of marketed drugs or other developments pertaining to the pharmaceutical industry will not adversely affect our operations.
We also are required to register our establishments and list our products with the FDA and certain state agencies. We and any third-party manufacturers or suppliers must continually adhere to federal regulations setting forth requirements, known as cGMP (for drugs) and QSR (for medical devices), and their foreign equivalents, which are enforced by the FDA and other national regulatory bodies through their facilities inspection programs. If our facilities, or the facilities of our manufacturers or suppliers, cannot pass a preapproval plant inspection, the FDA will not approve the marketing of our product candidates. In complying with cGMP and foreign regulatory requirements, we and any of our potential third-party manufacturers or suppliers will be obligated to expend time, money and effort in production, record-keeping and quality control to ensure that our products meet applicable specifications and other requirements. QSR requirements also impose extensive testing, control and documentation requirements. State regulatory agencies and the regulatory agencies of other countries have similar requirements. In addition, we will be required to comply with regulatory requirements of the FDA, state regulatory agencies and the regulatory agencies of other countries concerning the reporting of adverse events and device malfunctions, corrections and removals (e.g., recalls), promotion and advertising and general prohibitions against the manufacture and distribution of adulterated and misbranded devices. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements could result in civil fines, product seizures, injunctions and/or criminal prosecution of responsible individuals and us. Any such actions would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Our insulin supplier does not yet supply human recombinant insulin for an FDA-approved product and will likely be subject to an FDA preapproval inspection before the agency will approve a future marketing application for AFRESA.

30


Table of Contents

Our insulin supplier sells its product outside of the United States. However, we can make no assurances that our insulin supplier will be acceptable to the FDA. If we were required to find a new or additional supplier of insulin, we would be required to evaluate the new supplier’s ability to provide insulin that meets our specifications and quality requirements, which would require significant time and expense and could delay the manufacturing and future commercialization of AFRESA. We also depend on suppliers for other materials that comprise AFRESA, including our AFRESA inhaler and cartridges. All of our device suppliers must comply with relevant regulatory requirements including QSR. It also is likely that major suppliers will be subject to FDA preapproval inspections before the agency will approve a future marketing application for AFRESA. At the present time our insulin supplier is certified to the ISO 9001:2000 Standard. There can be no assurance, however, that if the FDA were to conduct a preapproval inspection of our insulin supplier or other suppliers, that the agency would find that the supplier substantially comply with the QSR or cGMP requirements, where applicable. If we or any potential third-party manufacturer or supplier fails to comply with these requirements or comparable requirements in foreign countries, regulatory authorities may subject us to regulatory action, including criminal prosecutions, fines and suspension of the manufacture of our products.
Reports of side effects or safety concerns in related technology fields or in other companies’ clinical trials could delay or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or negatively impact public perception of our product candidates.
At present, there are a number of clinical trials being conducted by us and other pharmaceutical companies involving insulin delivery systems. If we discover that AFRESA is associated with a significantly increased frequency of adverse events, or if other pharmaceutical companies announce that they observed frequent adverse events in their trials involving the pulmonary delivery of insulin, we could encounter delays in the timing of our clinical trials or difficulties in obtaining the approval of AFRESA. As well, the public perception of AFRESA might be adversely affected, which could harm our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common stock to decline, even if the concern relates to another company’s products or product candidates.
There are also a number of clinical trials being conducted by other pharmaceutical companies involving compounds similar to, or competitive with, our other product candidates. Adverse results reported by these other companies in their clinical trials could delay or prevent us from obtaining regulatory approval or negatively impact public perception of our product candidates, which could harm our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
If we are unable to protect our proprietary rights, we may not be able to compete effectively, or operate profitably.
Our commercial success depends, in large part, on our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection for our technology. Our ability to do so will depend on, among other things, complex legal and factual questions, and it should be noted that the standards regarding intellectual property rights in our fields are still evolving. We attempt to protect our proprietary technology through a combination of patents, trade secrets and confidentiality agreements. We own a number of domestic and international patents, have a number of domestic and international patent applications pending and have licenses to additional patents. We cannot assure you that our patents and licenses will successfully preclude others from using our technologies, and we could incur substantial costs in seeking enforcement of our proprietary rights against infringement. Even if issued, the patents may not give us an advantage over competitors with similar alternative technologies.
Moreover, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or enforceability and it is uncertain how much protection, if any, will be afforded by our patents. A third party may challenge the validity or enforceability of a patent after its issuance by various proceedings such as oppositions in foreign jurisdictions or re-examinations in the United States. If we attempt to enforce our patents, they may be challenged in court where they could be held invalid, unenforceable, or have their breadth narrowed to an extent that would destroy their value.
We also rely on unpatented technology, trade secrets, know-how and confidentiality agreements. We require our officers, employees, consultants and advisors to execute proprietary information and invention and assignment agreements upon commencement of their relationships with us. We also execute confidentiality agreements with outside collaborators. There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide meaningful protection for our inventions, trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information. If any trade secret, know-how or other technology not protected by a patent were to be disclosed to or independently developed by a competitor, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

31


Table of Contents

If we become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents or the patents of our collaborators or licensors, we would be required to devote substantial time and resources to prosecute or defend such proceedings.
Competitors may infringe our patents or the patents of our collaborators or licensors. To counter infringement or unauthorized use, we may be required to file infringement claims, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In addition, in an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent of ours is not valid or is unenforceable, or may refuse to stop the other party from using the technology at issue on the grounds that our patents do not cover its technology. A court may also decide to award us a royalty from an infringing party instead of issuing an injunction against the infringing activity. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put one or more of our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could put our patent applications at risk of not issuing.
Interference proceedings brought by the USPTO may be necessary to determine the priority of inventions with respect to our patent applications or those of our collaborators or licensors. Litigation or interference proceedings may fail and, even if successful, may result in substantial costs and be a distraction to our management. We may not be able, alone or with our collaborators and licensors, to prevent misappropriation of our proprietary rights, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect such rights as fully as in the United States. We may not prevail in any litigation or interference proceeding in which we are involved. Even if we do prevail, these proceedings can be very expensive and distract our management.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, the market price of our common stock may decline.
If our technologies conflict with the proprietary rights of others, we may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings and we could face substantial monetary damages and be precluded from commercializing our products, which would materially harm our business.
Over the past three decades the number of patents issued to biotechnology companies has expanded dramatically. As a result it is not always clear to industry participants, including us, which patents cover the multitude of biotechnology product types. Ultimately, the courts must determine the scope of coverage afforded by a patent and the courts do not always arrive at uniform conclusions.
A patent owner may claim that we are making, using, selling or offering for sale an invention covered by the owner’s patents and may go to court to stop us from engaging in such activities. Such litigation is not uncommon in our industry.
Patent lawsuits can be expensive and would consume time and other resources. There is a risk that a court would decide that we are infringing a third party’s patents and would order us to stop the activities covered by the patents, including the commercialization of our products. In addition, there is a risk that we would have to pay the other party damages for having violated the other party’s patents (which damages may be increased, as well as attorneys’ fees ordered paid, if infringement is found to be willful), or that we will be required to obtain a license from the other party in order to continue to commercialize the affected products, or to design our products in a manner that does not infringe a valid patent. We may not prevail in any legal action, and a required license under the patent may not be available on acceptable terms or at all, requiring cessation of activities that were found to infringe a valid patent. We also may not be able to develop a non-infringing product design on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
Although we own a number of domestic and foreign patents and patent applications relating to AFRESA and cancer vaccine products under development, we have identified certain third-party patents having claims relating to pulmonary insulin delivery that may trigger an allegation of infringement upon the commercial manufacture and sale of AFRESA. We have also identified third-party patents disclosing methods of use and compositions of matter related to DNA-based vaccines that also may trigger an allegation of infringement upon the commercial manufacture and sale of our cancer therapy. If a court were to determine that our insulin products or cancer therapies were infringing any of these patent rights, we would have to establish with the court that these patents were invalid or unenforceable in order to avoid legal liability for infringement of these patents. However, proving patent invalidity or unenforceability can be difficult because issued patents are presumed valid. Therefore, in the event that we are unable to prevail in an infringement or invalidity action we will have to either acquire the third-party patents outright or seek a royalty-bearing license. Royalty-bearing licenses effectively increase production costs and therefore may materially affect product profitability. Furthermore,

should the patent holder refuse to either assign or license us the infringed patents, it may be necessary to cease manufacturing the product entirely and/or design around the patents, if possible. In either event, our business would be harmed and our profitability could be materially adversely impacted.
Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. In addition, during the course of this kind of litigation, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, the market price of our common stock may decline.
In addition, patent litigation may divert the attention of key personnel and we may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion. At the same time, some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. An adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling our products or result in substantial monetary damages, which would adversely affect our business and results of operations and cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
We may not obtain trademark registrations for our potential trade names.
We have not selected trade names for some of our products and product candidates; therefore, we have not filed trademark registrations for our potential trade names for our products in all jurisdictions, nor can we assure that we will be granted registration of those potential trade names for which we have filed. Although we intend to defend any opposition to our trademark registrations, no assurance can be given that any of our trademarks will be registered in the United States or elsewhere or that the use of any of our trademarks will confer a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Furthermore, even if we are successful in our trademark registrations, the FDA has its own process for drug nomenclature and its own views concerning appropriate proprietary names. It also has the power, even after granting market approval, to request a company to reconsider the name for a product because of evidence of confusion in the marketplace. We cannot assure you that the FDA or any other regulatory authority will approve of any of our trademarks or will not request reconsideration of one of our trademarks at some time in the future.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Our stock price is volatile.
The current turbulence in the U.S. and global financial markets could adversely affect our stock price and our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity and/or debt securities. The stock market, particularly in recent years, has experienced significant volatility particularly with respect to pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks, and this trend may continue. The volatility of pharmaceutical and biotechnology stocks often does not relate to the operating performance of the companies represented by the stock. Our business and the market price of our common stock may be influenced by a large variety of factors, including:
    the progress and results of our clinical trials;
 
    general economic, political or stock market conditions;
 
    announcements by us or our competitors concerning clinical trial results, acquisitions, strategic alliances, technological innovations, newly approved commercial products, product discontinuations, or other developments;
 
    the availability of critical materials used in developing and manufacturing AFRESA or other product candidates;
 
    developments or disputes concerning our patents or proprietary rights;
 
    the expense and time associated with, and the extent of our ultimate success in, securing regulatory approvals;
 
    announcements by us concerning our financial condition or operating performance;
 
    changes in securities analysts’ estimates of our financial condition or operating performance;

33


Table of Contents

    general market conditions and fluctuations for emerging growth and pharmaceutical market sectors;
 
    sales of large blocks of our common stock, including sales by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; and
 
    discussion of AFRESA, our other product candidates, competitors’ products, or our stock price by the financial and scientific press, the healthcare community and online investor communities such as chat rooms.
Any of these risks, as well as other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
If other biotechnology and biopharmaceutical companies or the securities markets in general encounter problems, the market price of our common stock could be adversely affected.
Public companies in general and companies included on the Nasdaq Stock Market in particular have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. There has been particular volatility in the market prices of securities of biotechnology and other life sciences companies, and the market prices of these companies have often fluctuated because of problems or successes in a given market segment or because investor interest has shifted to other segments. These broad market and industry factors may cause the market price of our common stock to decline, regardless of our operating performance. We have no control over this volatility and can only focus our efforts on our own operations, and even these may be affected due to the state of the capital markets.
In the past, following periods of large price declines in the public market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against that company. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would hurt our business. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject us to significant liabilities.
Our Chief Executive Officer and principal stockholder can individually control our direction and policies, and his interests may be adverse to the interests of our other stockholders. After his death, his stock will be left to his funding foundations for distribution to various charities, and we cannot assure you of the manner in which those entities will manage their holdings.*
At March 30, 2009, Mr. Mann beneficially owned approximately 48.1% of our outstanding shares of capital stock. We believe members of Mr. Mann’s family beneficially owned at least an additional 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock, although Mr. Mann does not have voting or investment power with respect to these shares. By virtue of his holdings, Mr. Mann can and will continue to be able to effectively control the election of the members of our board of directors, our management and our affairs and prevent corporate transactions such as mergers, consolidations or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets that may be favorable from our standpoint or that of our other stockholders or cause a transaction that we or our other stockholders may view as unfavorable.
Subject to compliance with United States federal and state securities laws, Mr. Mann is free to sell the shares of our stock he holds at any time. Upon his death, we have been advised by Mr. Mann that his shares of our capital stock will be left to the Alfred E. Mann Medical Research Organization, or AEMMRO, and AEM Foundation for Biomedical Engineering, or AEMFBE, not-for-profit medical research foundations that serve as funding organizations for Mr. Mann’s various charities, including the Alfred Mann Foundation, or AMF, and the Alfred Mann Institute at the University of Southern California, the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, and at Purdue University, and that may serve as funding organizations for any other charities that he may establish. The AEMMRO is a membership foundation consisting of six members, including Mr. Mann, his wife, three of his children and Dr. Joseph Schulman, the chief scientist of the AEMFBE. The AEMFBE is a membership foundation consisting of five members, including Mr. Mann, his wife, and the same three of his children. Although we understand that the members of AEMMRO and AEMFBE have been advised of Mr. Mann’s objectives for these foundations, once Mr. Mann’s shares of our capital stock become the property of the foundations, we cannot assure you as to how those shares will be distributed or how they will be voted.
The future sale of our common stock or the conversion of our senior convertible notes into common stock could negatively affect our stock price.
Substantially all of the outstanding shares of our common stock are available for public sale, subject in some cases to volume and other limitations or delivery of a prospectus. If our common stockholders sell substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the market perceives that such sales may occur, the market price of our common stock may decline. Likewise the issuance of additional shares of our common stock upon the conversion of some or all of our senior convertible notes could adversely affect the

34


Table of Contents

trading price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of these notes may encourage short selling of our common stock by market participants. Furthermore, if we were to include in a company-initiated registration statement shares held by our stockholders pursuant to the exercise of their registrations rights, the sale of those shares could impair our ability to raise needed capital by depressing the price at which we could sell our common stock.
In addition, we will need to raise substantial additional capital in the future to fund our operations. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities or additional convertible debt, the market price of our common stock may decline and our existing stockholders may experience significant dilution.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
We are incorporated in Delaware. Certain anti-takeover provisions under Delaware law and in our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as currently in effect, may make a change of control of our company more difficult, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders. Our anti-takeover provisions include provisions such as a prohibition on stockholder actions by written consent, the authority of our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval, and supermajority voting requirements for specified actions. In addition, we are governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which generally prohibits stockholders owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us in certain circumstances. These provisions may delay or prevent an acquisition of us, even if the acquisition may be considered beneficial by some of our stockholders. In addition, they may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.
Because we do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, you must rely on stock appreciation for any return on your investment.
We have paid no cash dividends on any of our capital stock to date, and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. As a result, we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, and payment of cash dividends, if any, will also depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and other factors and will be at the discretion of our board of directors. Furthermore, we may in the future become subject to contractual restrictions on, or prohibitions against, the payment of dividends. Accordingly, the success of your investment in our common stock will likely depend entirely upon any future appreciation. There is no guarantee that our common stock will appreciate in value after the offering or even maintain the price at which you purchased your shares, and you may not realize a return on your investment in our common stock.

THIS LIP ASSET OR BUSINESS SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made on 6 March 2009
BETWEEN
(1)   Pfizer Manufacturing Frankfurt GmbH, with statutory seat in Frankfurt am Main, Federal Republic of Germany, registered in the commercial register at the local court of Frankfurt am Main under HRB 81803 (the “Seller”);
 
(2)   Pfizer Inc., a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices at 235 East 42nd Street, New York, New York 10017, USA (“Pfizer Inc.”);
 
(3)   RM 2875 Vermögensverwaltungs GmbH (in the future: MannKind Deutschland GmbH), with statutory seat in Munich, Federal Republic of Germany, registered in the commercial register at the local court of Munich under HRB 177304 (the “Purchaser”); and
 
(4)   MannKind Corporation, a Delaware corporation with principal executive offices at 28903 North Avenue Paine, Valencia, CA 91355, USA (“MannKind Corp.”).
WHEREAS
1.   The Seller, legal successor of Pfizer Manufacturing Frankfurt GmbH & Co. KG (formerly Diabel GmbH & Co KG), owns and operates a large insulin manufacturing plant in the Industriepark Hoechst. The plant is located on a plot of land for which the Seller holds a heritable building right (Erbbaurecht). In addition, the Seller has an option to acquire one, respectively two, heritable building right(s) for an adjacent part of a plot of land to construct a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant on such part of the plot on the basis of an option agreement with the operator of the Industriepark Hoechst, i.e. Infraserv GmbH & Co. Hoechst KG.
 
2.   The Seller and the Purchaser acknowledge that (i) the sale of the heritable building right as well as the sale of the option right, mentioned under Section 1 above, require the consent of Infraserv GmbH & Co. Hoechst KG and (ii) the sale of the heritable building right is subject to a right of first refusal of Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH (formerly trading as “Hoechst Marion Roussel Deutschland GmbH”).
 
3.   Prior to entering into this Agreement the Purchaser has conducted a thorough review of the Seller’s business of manufacturing bulk insulin at the large insulin manufacturing plant.

 


 

4.   If Infraserv GmbH & Co. Hoechst KG does not consent to the sale and transfer of the heritable building right as well as the sale of the option right by 3 April 2009 the Seller desires to sell and the Purchaser desires to purchase certain assets pertaining to the manufacturing of bulk insulin according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that, in this event, the Purchaser will not continue the operation of the large insulin manufacturing plant, but will remove the acquired assets and dismantle (abbauen) the large insulin manufacturing plant.
 
5.   If Infraserv GmbH & Co. Hoechst KG consents to the sale and transfer of the heritable building right as well as the sale of the option right by 3 April 2009, the Seller desires to sell and the Purchaser desires to purchase, subject to the right of first refusal of Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH, the heritable building right as well as the option right including certain assets pertaining to the production of bulk insulin according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

If and to the extent the competent German tax authority treats the sale as being subject to VAT the Purchaser has to pay statutory VAT in addition to the Purchase Price in cash to the Seller within 10 (ten) Business Days after receipt of an invoice which complies with Section 14 and Section 14a UStG.
 
    Subject to the condition precedent (aufschiebende Bedingung) that the competent German tax authority treats the sale as being subject to VAT, the Seller herewith waives the exemption from VAT pursuant to Section 4 No. 9 lit. a UStG with respect to the Heritable Building Right and opts to treat the sale of the Heritable Building Right as a supply subject to VAT. In accordance with Section 13b paragraph 1 No. 3 UStG which stipulates the reverse charge proce-

    dure the Seller will neither charge nor collect VAT for the sale of the Heritable Building Right. It is the Purchaser’s sole responsibility to file the respective tax notices and pay VAT due on such supply in accordance with the tax laws applicable to the Purchaser. The Purchaser does not owe VAT on the sale of the Heritable Building Right to the Seller. The Purchaser confirms that it intends to use the Heritable Building Right solely in connection with the provision of supplies and services that do not preclude the deduction of input VAT (Vorsteuer). In the event of a LIP Asset Sale the Purchaser has to pay statutory VAT in cash in addition to the Purchase Price to the Seller within 10 Business Days after receipt of an invoice which complies with Section 14 and Section 14a UStG.
 
4.4   The Purchase Price shall be allocated to the LIP Assets or the LIP Business Assets, as the case may be, as to be agreed between the Parties pursuant to Section 7.18 between the date hereof and the Closing Date.
 
4.5   In the event that a Party to this Agreement is in default (Verzug) with payments under this Agreement, the Parties agree that default interest (Verzugszinsen) shall be payable by the respective debtor as provided for in section 288 para. 2 BGB calculated on the outstanding amount for the period starting with the due date up to and including the date at which the outstanding amount increased by the default interest is irrevocably credited to the bank account of the respective creditor.
 
4.6   All payments to be made to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer free of charges and without any restrictions to the Seller’s Bank Account or any other bank account communicated by the Seller in writing not less than five Business Days prior to the due date of the relevant payment.
 
5.   CONDITIONS TO CLOSING
 
5.1   The obligations of the Parties to carry out the Closing are conditional on the following conditions (aufschiebende Bedingungen, collectively or individually, the “Closing Conditions”) being satisfied, or in case of any of the Closing Conditions set out in Sections 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 being waived by the Purchaser, in accordance with this Agreement:

7.3   Promptly upon signing of this Agreement but in any event not later than within 2 (two) Business Days, the Seller shall notify Sanofi-Aventis of its right – subject to the Infraserv Consent – to exercise its ROFR including submission of an authenticated copy (beglaubigte Kopie) of this Agreement to Sanofi-Aventis, and undertake to use its reasonable best efforts to engage in joint good faith negotiations with Purchaser, Infraserv and Sanofi-Aventis to (i) accelerate the time in which Infraserv will grant the Infraserv Consent, and/or (ii) facilitate the process for Sanofi-Aventis to exercise or waive its ROFR.
 
7.4   Promptly upon receipt of the Infraserv Consent (where such receipt occurs on or before the Infraserv Due Date) but in any event not later than within 1 (one) Business Day following receipt, the Seller shall transmit the Notification to Sanofi-Aventis to start the 2 (two) months period for Sanofi-Aventis to consider exercise of its ROFR. The Seller shall provide conclusive evidence for the receipt of the Notification by Sanofi-Aventis (Nachweis des Zugangs) to the Purchaser. The Parties shall notify each other if and when a response from Sanofi-Aventis (including a ROFR Exercise Notice) has been received without undue delay following such receipt, and, in case of responses in writing, shall provide to the respective other party a copy of such response. If a ROFR

 


 

    Exercise Notice has been received by the Seller or the Purchaser within 2 (two) months since the Notification has verifiably been received by Sanofi-Aventis,
  7.4.1   (i) this Agreement between the Seller, Pfizer Inc., the Purchaser and MannKind Corp. shall be null and void and the Purchaser and MannKind Corp. shall be released from all of its respective obligations hereunder, and (ii) the Parties acknowledge that the new agreement entered into by operation of law between Sanofi-Aventis on the one hand and the Seller and Pfizer Inc. on the other hand following execution of the ROFR by Sanofi-Aventis shall have similar terms (gleiche Bedingungen) as this Agreement, provided, however, that references to both “the Purchaser” and “MannKind Corp.” shall be replaced by “Sanofi-Aventis”;
 
  7.4.2   (i) Sanofi-Aventis shall make a payment equal in value to the Down Payment by wire transfer to the Seller’s Bank Account to be held in trust by the Seller for Sanofi-Aventis thereafter, and (ii) the Seller shall promptly return the Down Payment to the Purchaser;
 
  7.4.3   (i) Sanofi-Aventis shall procure a guarantee of its ultimate parent company according to the terms of Section 16.2 and, (ii) the Seller shall release MannKind Corp. from its obligations under Section 16.2;
 
  7.4.4   the Seller and Sanofi-Aventis shall consummate the Closing subject to the Closing Conditions being satisfied or waived; and

If Merger Control Clearance cannot otherwise be obtained the Seller and Sanofi-Aventis shall agree on all appropriate measures, including “hold separate” arrangements including the appointment of a “hold separate trustee” (which, inter alia, shall ensure that Sanofi-Aventis shall not, neither legally nor otherwise, influence or benefit from the (ordinary or extra-ordinary) use of the Assets for the transfer of which no clearance has been obtained) regarding the Assets or interests affected, in order that the relevant jurisdiction can be exempted from the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement until the required consents and approvals have been obtained. In any case, no “hold separate” arrangements will become effective prior to the Closing Date.

 


 

7.5   In the event of a LIP Business Sale, the number of Employees shall be reduced from the headcount as of 6 November 2008 of 173 (one hundred seventy three) down to 80 (eighty) Employees (the “Target Headcount”).

The Purchaser shall reasonably assist and co-operate in the Works Council Discussions; the Purchaser commits itself to provide the Seller with all information necessary to initiate and conduct the consultation and negotiation process pursuant to Sections 111 et seq. Works Constitution Act. The Seller shall be bound by the terms of the Business Proposal, and shall not bindingly agree on a balance of interest and a social plan without prior written consent from the Purchaser to the extent legally permissible.
 
7.6   In the event of a LIP Business Sale and prior to Closing, the Seller shall procure that unfunded pension obligations (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any pensions funded by the Penka 1 and the Penka 2) vis-a-vis the Employees in the amount of approx. [...***...] according to German GAAP as of 30 November 2008 will be fully funded with an amount of approx. [...***...] subject to the actuarial statement (versicherungsmathematisches Gutachten) set forth in Section 8.8 by way of transferring funds into contractual trust arrangements or equivalent insolvency remote vehicles reasonably acceptable to the Seller, which are to be set up in a way to be recognized as plan assets according to US GAAP/PBO.
 
7.7   The Seller is a member of the Pensionskasse der Mitarbeiter der Hoechst-Gruppe VVaG (“Penka 1”) and of the Höchster Pensionskasse VVaG (“Penka 2”). If the Condition Subsequent is satisfied, the Purchaser shall use its best efforts to become a member of the Penka 1 and Penka 2, and the Seller will use its best efforts to support such a membership. If such membership materializes, the Purchaser shall fulfil all contribution obligations vis-à-vis the Transferred Employees under the Penka 1 and Penka 2 pension plans after the LIP Business Sale Closing Date.
 
7.8   In the event of a LIP Business Sale, the Seller shall assign to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall accept such assignment, all rights and claims vis-à-vis third

    parties with respect to obligations of the Seller vis-à-vis the Transferred Employees under all Pension Schemes.
 
7.9   In the event of a LIP Asset Sale, the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to finally coordinate and agree upon the specific actions to be taken and the time schedule to be maintained for the dismantling (Ab-und Ausbau) of certain of the LIP Assets.
 
7.10   During the period until the Closing Date the Seller undertakes to procure that to the extent legally permissible, the Business will be operated in the ordinary course of business, except as (i) disclosed in this Agreement, (ii) disclosed in Annex 7.10 or (iii) with prior written approval of the Purchaser. In any case, the Seller shall not without the prior approval of the Purchaser or except as disclosed in this Agreement or in Annex 7.10:
  7.10.1   acquire or dispose of (including by way of leasing agreements) any Asset, nor undertake to make such acquisition or disposal, in each case with a value of more than EUR 50,000.00 (Euro: fifty thousand) or EUR 500,000.00 (Euro: five hundred thousand) in the aggregate; and
 
  7.10.2   enter into Contracts providing for individual payment obligations of more than EUR 50,000.00 (Euro: fifty thousand) in each case or EUR 500,000.00 (Euro: five hundred thousand) in the aggregate.
7.11   The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain cash financing to fund some or all of the Purchase Price. As soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date the Purchaser shall notify the Seller supported by bank statements or binding commitment letters if the Purchaser secured cash financing sufficient to pay some or all of the Purchase Price in cash pursuant to Section 4.1.1 or Section 4.1.3 and thereby elects to do so (“Cash Notification”).
 
7.12   Unless a Cash Notification has been delivered by the Purchaser electing to pay the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4.1.1, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date the Seller shall notify to the Purchaser the number of Consideration Shares to be transferred to the Seller at Closing according to Section 4.1.2 or Section 4.1.3, as applicable, together with a copy of the Bloomberg report supporting the determination of the Stock Price.
 
7.13   The Parties undertake not to, and undertake to procure that none of their affiliated Persons and Persons qualifying as insiders in relation to the transactions

 


 

    contemplated hereunder, shall deal or trade in Common Stock until the Business Day preceding the Closing Date.
 
7.14   The Purchaser undertakes to conduct, at its own costs, a physical stock take (Inventur) of the Assets (including, without limitation, raw material for the production of bulk insulin) as soon as practicable. For this purpose, the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser and its designees full and unlimited access to the premises of the LIP and the Records at usual working hours, and shall provide reasonable assistance to the Purchaser to enable the Purchaser to conduct such physical stock take (including a full review, counting and documentation of the Fixed Assets and the Equipment) in an efficient manner and within a reasonable period of time of not less than 5 but not more than 15 Business Days after the date hereof.
 
7.15   Without undue delay each Party shall notify the other Party in writing of all events or circumstances arising or coming to the knowledge of the notifying Party, which to the reasonable assessment of the notifying Party may result in a Breach of a Seller’s Guarantee or a Purchaser’s Guarantee.
 
7.16   In the event of a LIP Business Sale, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to agree with Infraserv on the amendment of the ROFR-Property to the effect that the ROFR-Property can be transferred to the Purchaser, and take all steps required to effect such amendment.
 
7.17   For the avoidance of doubt, Sections 7.5 and 7.6, shall not be applicable in the event of a LIP Asset Sale, for which case the Parties assume that no Employees will transfer with the LIP Assets, since the operations of the Business will not be run by the Purchaser in essentially the same manner as previously by the Seller.
 
7.18   Without undue delay after the date hereof, the Parties shall mutually agree the allocation of the Purchase Price to the LIP Assets, in the case the Condition Subsequent is not satisfied on or before the Infraserv Due Date, or to the LIP Business Assets (including the Heritable Building Right) in the case the Condition Subsequent is duly satisfied.
 
8.   STATUTORY TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES IN THE EVENT OF A LIP BUSINESS SALE
 
8.1   The Parties understand that in the event of a LIP Business Sale, as a consequence of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, Section 613a

 


 

    BGB will be applicable and therefore, as of the Closing Date, the Employees belonging to the Business (Betrieb) at Closing will pass from the Seller to the Purchaser with all rights and duties pursuant to Section 613a BGB, unless such Employees exercise their statutory right of objection pursuant to Section 613a paragraph 6 BGB. As of the Closing Date vacation entitlements and other monetary entitlements (Weihnachtsgeld, Urlaubsgeld) of the Employees, calculated on the basis of the respective individual salaries, and in case of vacation entitlements for the period from 1 January 2009 until the Closing Date to be calculated according to Section 7 para 4 of the Federal Holiday Act (Bundesurlaubsgesetz) shall be apportioned among the Parties pro rata temporis.
 
8.2   Within three Business Days following the day on which the Closing Condition pursuant to Section 5.1.4(a) has been fulfilled, the Seller and the Purchaser will jointly inform all Employees as required by Section 613a paragraph 5 BGB in a general staff meeting of such Employees (Belegschaftsversammlung). In such joint staff meeting, or closely following such staff meeting the Seller and the Purchaser will jointly issue to each Employee present at the staff meeting personally a letter substantially in the form of Annex 8.2 containing the following information as required by Section 613a paragraph 5 BGB (the “Information Letter”): (i) the expected date of the employment transfer (Section 613a paragraph 5 No. 1 BGB); (ii) the reasons for the employment transfer (Section 613a paragraph 5 No. 2 BGB); (iii) the legal, economic and social consequences the employment transfer will have for the Employees (Section 613a paragraph 5 No. 3 BGB); and (iv) any changes or measures envisaged by the Purchaser which may affect the Employees (Section 613a paragraph 5 No. 4 BGB). Immediately after the joint staff meeting, the Information Letter shall be sent by registered mail (Einwurfeinschreiben) to all remaining Employees not present at the staff meeting. The Seller shall be responsible and liable for the accuracy and the completeness of all information in the Information Letter which describe the employment relationships prior to the Closing Date, whereas the Purchaser shall be responsible and liable for the accuracy and the completeness of all information in the Information Letter which describe the employment relationships after the Closing Date.
 
8.3   The Parties herewith commit themselves to provide the other Party with the complete information required under Section 613a paragraph 5 BGB and referred to under Section 8.2 of this Agreement on the day, 24.00 CET, following the day on which the Closing Conditions pursuant to Section 5.1.4(a) have been fulfilled. Additionally the Parties commit themselves to include such information in the Information Letter to the extent required by Section 8.2 of this Agreement.

 


 

8.4   The Parties acknowledge that the Employees have the right to object to the transfer of their employment according to Section 613a paragraph 6 BGB. Notwithstanding the measures agreed and foreseen under this Agreement, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to convince all Employees not to object to the transfer of their employment relationship. After the expiry of the time limit for declaration of an objection by the Employees, which is the lapse of the one month objection period pursuant to Section 613a paragraph 6 BGB, such period to commence after the date on which the last Information Letter has been received by any Employee (the “Objection Period”), the Parties will inform each other immediately in writing which of the Employees have objected to their transfer. At any time prior to Closing, neither Party shall undertake anything that could reasonably be expected to cause any Employee to object to his/her transfer to the Purchaser, notwithstanding the measures agreed and foreseen under this Agreement.
 
8.5   The Seller shall terminate the employment relationship with any Employee who objected to the transfer to the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable and negotiate with objecting Employees Termination Payments or, if legally required, a social plan (Sozialplan) and balance of interest (Interessenausgleich). The Seller undertakes not to offer to these objecting employees Termination Payments in excess of those Termination Payments agreed under the social plan to which Employees transferred to the Purchaser are entitled to, unless a court or an arbitration board (Einigungsstelle) rules otherwise. The Seller shall notify the Purchaser of the amount of Termination Payments incurred to each Employee who objected to its transfer as soon as reasonably practicable. Except with the Purchaser’s prior written consent, the Seller shall not agree on or pay to any of the Employees Termination Payments exceeding the amounts provided for by the “Personal- und Sozialpolitische Rahmenvereinbarung” of 29 September 2004 (the “PSR”) or as finally determined by the arbitration board (Einigungsstelle) or a competent court.
 
8.6   The Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that all pension and retirement obligations, liabilities, and expenditures of the Seller with regard to the Employees who have not objected to the transfer of their employment pursuant to Section 613a paragraph 6 BGB (the “Transferred Employees”), whether due, vested or invested (Anwartschaften jeder Art) shall transfer from the Seller to the Purchaser on and with effect from the Closing Date. Subject to the Closing, the Seller hereby assigns to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser hereby accepts such assignment, all rights and obligations vis-à-vis the Transferred Employees under all Pension Schemes.

 


 

8.7   With respect to those of the Continuing Employees who have subscribed before Closing to Pfizer Inc. shares and where the terms of the subscription provide that they will be paid for through payroll deductions as set forth on Annex 8.7, the Purchaser shall continue to make payroll deductions, until such subscriptions are paid in full, and the Purchaser shall forward the full sums of such payroll deductions without subtraction of any handling fee or other charges to the Seller within 30 days of each respective payroll deduction.
 
8.8   In due time before Closing, the Parties shall determine as of the Closing Date, the factual value of the pension obligations for company pension plans to be provided for, which are applicable to the Transferred Employees by way of a statement (Versicherungsmathematisches Gutachten), established by the German actuary firm Watson Wyatt (or another renowned actuary firm mutually agreed upon by the Parties), based upon US-GAAP provisions for projected benefit obligations, the cost for which statement shall be borne by the Seller.
 
8.9   The Seller undertakes to bear Termination Payments to Employees incurred (i) in connection with the work force reduction described in Section 7.5 from the headcount as of 6 November 2008 of 173 employees down to the Target Headcount up to a maximum amount of [...***...] and (ii) pursuant to Section 8.5, minus Termination Payments paid until the date of signing of this Agreement (the “Termination Payment Cap”). Any Termination Payment in excess of the Termination Payment Cap shall be borne by the Purchaser and if legally and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement incurred by the Seller be reimbursed by the Purchaser to the Seller. The amount of Termination Payments shall be calculated, as the case may be, (i) in accordance with the principles set out in the PSR, (ii) as finally determined by the arbitration board (Einigungsstelle) or a competent court, or (iii) as mutually agreed otherwise by the Parties. Upon finalization of the social plan the Party legally entitled and required to negotiate the social plan and to pay out the Termination Payments to the relevant Employees shall notify the other Party of the amount of Termination Payments.
 
8.10   If Termination Payments were actually paid by the Seller on or before the LIP Business Sale Closing in accordance with Section 8.5 exceed the Termination Payment Cap, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the amount of such excess on the LIP Business Sale Closing (the “Termination Payment Reimbursement”);
 
8.11   At the LIP Business Sale Closing, in view of the difficulties in obtaining acceptable bank guarantees to secure the Purchaser’s obligations, the Purchaser shall pay to the Notary Account the Severance Funds Payment minus the
 
***   Confidential Treatment Requested

 


 

    Termination Payment Reimbursement, if any (the “Escrow Amount”) to secure the Purchaser’s obligation to provide termination benefits to Employees comprised in the Target Headcount (the “Continuing Employees”) in the event of their dismissal or an insolvency of the Purchaser. The Seller shall be entitled to draw upon the Escrow Amount to fund Termination Payments in excess of the sum of the Termination Payment Cap, incurred by the Seller (i) within the Objection Period or (ii) after the Objection Period with respect to Employees who duly rejected their transfer to the Purchaser. To utilize the Escrow Amount the Seller shall issue a payment instruction to the Notary substantially in the form set out in Annex 8.11.
 
8.12   The amount remaining as Escrow Amount shall be released by the Notary upon the Parties’ joint instruction. The Parties shall jointly instruct the Notary in the form set out in Annex 8.11, upon the occurrence of the following events: (i) the expiry of the Objection Period, and (ii) the termination of employment (Beendigung der Arbeitsverhältnisse) of all Employees formerly employed by the Seller, and (iii) the delivery to the Seller of a copy of a Bank Guarantee or equivalent insolvency remote (insolvenzsicher) security for the Termination Payments to the then remaining Employees in an amount equal to the then remaining amount of the Escrow Amount.

13.   INDEMNIFICATION

If the Party is unable to achieve this position within a reasonable period of time after having been notified by the other Party of the Breach, the other Party may claim monetary damages (Schadenersatz in Geld) provided, however, that such damages shall only cover actual and direct

 


 

    damages incurred (Mangelschaden) by the other Party, and shall in particular not cover (i) any indirect or consequential damages (Mangelfolgeschäden), (ii) losses caused by business interruptions, (iii) lost revenues (entgangene Einnahmen), (iv) lost profit (entgangener Gewinn), (v) damages and losses to goodwill, or (vi) reputational damages, and (vii) the other Party is not entitled to claim damages based on any argument that the Purchase Price has been calculated upon incorrect assumptions.

13.5   The provisions of this Section 13 shall not apply to (i) rights and remedies which the Seller may have under applicable law as a result of the Purchaser’s failure to pay the Purchase Price or any portion thereof in accordance with this Agreement, and (ii) any rights and remedies of any Party for gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit), fraud or wilful misconduct (Vorsatz).
 
14.   CONDUCT OF CLAIMS
 
14.1   In case of an issue, matter or fact potentially giving rise to a Claim, the Party seeking damages or indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”)

 


 

    from the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) shall (i) within reasonable promptness and in no case later than within a period of one month after the Indemnitee becomes aware of the matter, give written notice to the Indemnitor of the Breach, state the circumstances of the Breach in reasonable detail, furnish reasonable proof as it has in its possession of the Breach and, to the extent then feasible, set forth the estimated amount of such Breach and (ii) shall grant the Indemnitor the opportunity to remedy the Breach within a reasonable period of time of at least 45 Business Days, provided, that the failure of the Indemnitee to give written notice to the Indemnitor within a period of one month shall relieve the Indemnitor from the indemnification obligations herein unless the Indemnitor is not actually prejudiced as a result of the failure to give such notice.
 
14.2   If claims are raised, legal or administrative proceedings commenced or threatened to be commenced against the Indemnitee by a third party, including government agencies (a “Third Party Claim”), which may give rise to a Claim, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in compliance with Section 14.1 of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall ensure that the Indemnitor shall (i) be provided with all materials, information (as it has in its possession) and assistance relevant in relation to the Third Party Claim, (ii) be given reasonable opportunity to comment or discuss with the Indemnitee any measures which the Indemnitor proposes to take or to omit in connection with a Third Party Claim, and (iii) in particular, the Indemnitor shall be given an opportunity to comment on, participate in, and review any reports on social security audits, disputes or appeals or other measures and shall receive without undue delay copies of all relevant notices (Bescheide) of any authority.
 
14.3   If and to the extent the Indemnitor depends on the cooperation of the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall, to the extent legally possible for the Indemnitee, at the request and expense of the Indemnitor, take all reasonable steps the Indemnitor may reasonably request from the Indemnitee in that respect.
 
14.4   No admission of a Third Party Claim shall be made by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Third Party Claim shall not be disposed of (erledigt) or settled (verglichen) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
 
14.5   The Indemnitor shall be entitled at its own expense and its absolute discretion to take such action as the Indemnitor shall deem necessary or appropriate to avoid, dispute, deny, defend, resist, appeal, compromise or contest such Third Party Claim (including making counter claims or other claims against third parties) in the name of and on behalf of the Indemnitee, provided, however, that the In-

 


 

    demnitor prior to such action has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnitee that the Indemnitee will indemnify the Indemnitee from such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall give all such information and assistance, as described above, including access to premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records as the Indemnitor or its professional advisors may from time to time request. The Indemnitor agrees to keep all such information confidential and only to use it for such purpose.
 
14.6   To the extent that the Indemnitor is in breach of a guarantee, breach of a covenant or in case of an indemnification all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnitor in defending such claim shall be borne by the Indemnitor; if it turns out that the Indemnitor was not in breach, any costs and expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with the defence (including adviser’s fees and internal costs of its staff) shall be borne by the Indemnitee.
 
14.7   The failure of any Indemnitee to comply with the obligations of the Indemnitee under this Section 14 shall release any Indemnitor from its obligation to pay damages or to indemnify under this Agreement, if and to the extent such damage or indemnification amount was directly caused by such failure to comply with the obligations of the Indemnitee under this Section 14.
 
14.8   Any payments of the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee in connection with this Section 14 shall be considered as an adjustment of the Purchase Price.
 
15.   CONFIRMATIONS OF THE PURCHASER

Such agreement shall be made on the basis of the entitlement of the Employees under the PSR or such other amount as decided by the arbitration board (Einigungsstelle), unless the Parties agree otherwise. The resulting Termination Payments shall be borne by the Seller up to the Termination Payment Cap and any Termination Payments in excess of the Termination Payment Cap shall be borne by the Purchaser and shall be paid by the Seller to the Employees out of the Severance Funds Payment and any interest accruing on the balance of the Severance Funds Payment. The Severance Funds Payment shall be put on a separate interest bearing account, the Parties shall agree on a reasonable investment of the Severance Funds Payment, and any interest accrued on the Severance Funds Payment shall become part of the Severance Fund Payment available for distribution in accordance with this Agreement;
 
  16.2.3   the Parties shall share equally the payroll costs (regular monthly costs of employment as existing on the Closing Date and consistent with the employment agreements and past practice, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any extra benefits like bonuses or one time payments, unless such payments are a result of a binding agreement or past practice (betriebliche Übung)) relating to the Employees for the period from the Closing Date until the earlier of (i) 31 July 2009 or (ii) the date of termination of the affected Employees’ employment relationship according to the balance of interest and the social plan described in Section 16.2.2;

  16.2.5   if required pursuant to the discussions with Infraserv according to Section 16.2.4, the Seller shall tear down the Buildings as soon as reasonably practicable after the earlier to occur of (i) 9 months following the LIP Asset Sale Closing Date and (ii) finalization of the dismantling pursuant to Section 16.2.1;
 
  16.2.6   notwithstanding the Termination Payment Cap subject to Section 16.2.3 the operating cost of the Business as well as all cost of shutting down the operations of the LIP shall be borne by the Purchaser; the Seller shall apply (i) funds received as Severance Funds Payment against payment of the Termination Payments in accordance with Section 16.2.2, (ii) the Down Payment and the Demolition Cost Payment against the Demolition Costs, and shall provide to the Purchaser a detailed calculation of the Termination Payments and the Demolitions Costs without undue delay upon finalization of the measures set out under Sections 16.2.1 through 16.2.5.
 
      If and to the extent the sum of
(i) the Termination Payments, and
(ii) the Demolition Costs; less
(iii) the amount of the Termination Payment Cap; less
(iv) [...***...]; plus
(v) [...***...] per day by which the LIP Asset Sale Closing occurred later than the Infraserv Due Date;

      exceeds the sum of
(i) the Severance Funds Payment;
 
***   Confidential Treatment Requested

 


 

(ii) the Down Payment; and
(iii) the Demolition Cost Payment;
(together the “Prepayments”),
      then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the amount of such excess.
 
      If and to the extent the Actual Demolition Cost are lower than the Prepayments, then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the remaining balance.
 
  16.2.7   The Seller acknowledges and agrees that it has a duty to mitigate Demolition Costs to the greatest extent possible and that it must act prudently and in good faith in negotiating Termination Payments and Demolition Costs.
16.3   In the event of the LIP Business Sale, the Parties acknowledge that it is the Purchaser’s intention to reduce the production level at the LIP after Closing to ten batches of bulk insulin per calendar year.

               (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities laws of any jurisdiction;
and, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), promptly use its reasonable best efforts (A) to respond satisfactorily to the Commission and to file promptly any necessary amendments, (B) to avoid the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued and (C) to obtain the withdrawal of any such suspension of qualification.
          c. furnish to PMF such number of conformed copies of the Shelf Registration Statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference), such number of copies of the Prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement (including each preliminary Prospectus and any summary Prospectus) and any other Prospectus filed under Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act relating to the Registrable Securities, and such other documents as PMF may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of its Registrable Securities;

 


 

          d. register or qualify all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement under such other securities laws of such jurisdictions as PMF shall reasonably request, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as the Shelf Registration Statement remains in effect, and promptly take any other action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable PMF to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by PMF, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required (i) to qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the requirements of this paragraph (d) be obligated to be so qualified, (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (iii) to consent to general service of process in any jurisdiction;
          e. cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable PMF to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;
          f. promptly notify PMF, at any time when a Prospectus relating to its Registrable Securities covered by a the Shelf Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which any Prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and at the request of PMF promptly prepare and furnish to PMF a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such securities, such Prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
          g. comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission;
          h. as far in advance as is practical before filing the Shelf Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto, furnish PMF copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits) and PMF shall have the opportunity to object to any information pertaining solely to it that is contained therein and the Company will promptly make the corrections reasonably requested by PMF with respect to such information prior to filing the Shelf Registration Statement or any such amendment or supplement thereto;
          i. promptly make available for inspection by PMF and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by PMF (collectively, the “Inspectors”), if requested, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Shelf Registration Statement and PMF enters into a written confidentiality agreement with the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction or (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public. PMF agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that it will, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. The Company

 


 

shall not be required to delay the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto as a result of any ongoing review or other diligence inquiry by the Inspectors;
          j. promptly provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement and a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement; and
          k. use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement to be listed, upon official notice of issuance, on any securities exchange on which any of the securities of the same class as the Registrable Securities are then listed.
     The Company may require PMF, and PMF, as a condition to including its Registrable Securities in such registration, shall, furnish the Company with such information regarding PMF and the distribution of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of PMF’s Registrable Securities;
     PMF agrees by acquisition of such Registrable Securities that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in paragraph (f) of this Section 3, PMF will forthwith discontinue its disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement relating to such Registrable Securities until PMF receives copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by paragraph (f) of this Section 3 and, if so directed by the Company, will deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in PMF’s possession of the Prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
     Section 4. Holdback Agreements.
          a. By PMF. PMF shall suspend, upon written request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus during no more than two periods of no more than up to 20 consecutive Trading Days each during any 12-month period to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, based on the written opinion of counsel, that the sale of Registrable Securities under the Shelf Registration Statement would be likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Such a request by the Company shall not be deemed to effect a Maintenance Failure and no Liquidation Damages or default shall result from such a request by the Company or compliance by PMF with this Section 4(a).
          b. By the Company. The Company agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the 14 days prior to the estimated effective date, and the 90 days after the effective date, of the Shelf Registration Statement (or for such shorter period of time as is sufficient and appropriate, in the opinion of PMF), in order to complete the sale and distribution of the securities included in such registration, except pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or registered offerings of securities to employees pursuant to any employee benefit plan.
          c. Hedging Arrangements. The restrictions in this Section 4 shall also apply to the entering into of any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of the ownership of the Registrable Securities.
          Section 5. Indemnification.
          a. Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless PMF and each of PMF’s officers, directors, employees, rep-

 


 

resentatives, shareholders, members and each other Person, if any, who controls PMF within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives (each of the foregoing, a “PMF Indemnified Party”), in connection with the Shelf Registration, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such PMF Indemnified Party is a party thereto) (together, “Losses”) to which a PMF Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, or summary Prospectus contained therein or any issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any state securities law, and the Company will reimburse such PMF Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss; provided that the Company shall not be liable under this Section 5(a) to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Shelf Registration Statement, preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus, summary Prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through an instrument duly executed by a PMF Indemnified Party specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of a PMF Indemnified Party, and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by PMF.
          b. Indemnification by PMF. PMF shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of the Company’s officers, directors, employees, representatives, shareholders, members and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and representatives (each of the foregoing, a “Company Indemnified Party”) in connection with the Shelf Registration, against any Losses to which a Company Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, any preliminary Prospectus, final Prospectus or summary Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, in each case, concerning PMF, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, if such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company through a written instrument duly executed by a PMF Indemnified Party specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation thereof or any violation or alleged violation by a PMF Indemnified Party of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any state securities law; provided, however, that PMF shall not be liable under this Section 5(b) for any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of net proceeds PMF receives in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by PMF.
          c. Notices of Claims, Etc. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in the preceding paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 5, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to such paragraphs, give written notice to the latter of the com-

 


 

mencement of such action, provided that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless, in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party, a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party exists with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at the Indemnified Party’s expense; and provided further that the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ one counsel to represent it or them if, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Parties, it is advisable for it or them to be represented by separate counsel by reason of having legal defenses which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party, and in that event the reasonable fees and expenses of such one counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any Indemnified Party a conflict of interest may exist between such Indemnified Party and any other Indemnified Parties with respect to such claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such additional counsel for the Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. No Indemnifying Party shall be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.
          d. Contribution. If the indemnity and reimbursement obligation provided for in any paragraph of this Section 5 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and the Indemnified Party on the other hand in connection with statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, PMF shall not be liable under this Section 5(d) for any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount of net proceeds PMF receives in connection with the sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph. The amount paid by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss which is the subject of this paragraph.

 


 

     No Indemnified Party guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to any contribution from the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
          e. Other Indemnification. Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and PMF in connection with any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority other than the Securities Act. The provisions of this Section 5 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which an Indemnified Party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise.
          f. Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Losses are incurred.
     Section 6. Covenants Relating to Rule 144. The Company covenants that it shall use its reasonable best efforts to file in a timely fashion all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and that it will take such further action as PMF may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable PMF to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act pursuant to (i) Rule 144 or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of PMF, the Company will deliver to PMF a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
     Section 7. Other Registration Rights.
          a. No Existing Agreements. The Company represents and warrants to PMF that there is not in effect on the date hereof any agreement by the Company (other than this Agreement) pursuant to which any holders of securities of the Company have a right to cause the Company to register or qualify such securities under the Securities Act or any securities laws of any jurisdiction that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted herein or would otherwise conflict with any provision of this Agreement.
          b. Future Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter agree with the holders of any securities (other than PMF) issued or to be issued by the Company to register or qualify such securities under the Securities Act or any securities laws of any jurisdiction unless such agreement specifically provides that such holder of such securities may not participate in the Shelf Registration without PMF’s prior written consent, except to the extent expressly permitted by this Agreement.
     Section 8. Mergers, Etc. The Company shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company shall not be the surviving corporation unless the proposed surviving corporation shall, immediately after such merger, consolidation or reorganization, agree in writing to assume the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and for that purpose references hereunder to “Registrable Securities” shall be deemed to be references to the securities which PMF and its affiliates would be entitled to receive in exchange for Registrable Securities under any such merger, consolidation or reorganization; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 8 shall not apply in the event of any merger, consolidation or reorganization in which the Company is not the surviving corporation if PMF and its affiliates are entitled to receive in exchange for their Registrable Securities consideration consisting solely of cash.

This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and this Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only with the written consent of the Company and PMF. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies that may be available to a party with respect to this Agreement.
          c. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

          d. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either party without the prior written consent of the other party and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned to any affiliate of PMF to which PMF may transfer Registrable Securities without the consent of any other party hereto, provided that (i) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) any such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to PMF.

 


 

          e. No Third-Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto, their respective successors or permitted assigns and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Section 5.
          f. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
          g. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
          h. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN SUCH COURT (AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY OTHER OBJECTION TO VENUE THEREIN); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11(h) AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A GENERAL SUBMISSION TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS OR IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OTHER THAN FOR SUCH PURPOSE. Any and all process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement by complying with the provisions of Section 11(a). Such service of process shall have the same effect as if the party being served were a resident in the State of New York and had been lawfully served with such process in such jurisdiction. The parties hereby waive all claims of error by reason of such service. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to service process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction to enforce judgments or rulings of the aforementioned courts.
          i. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
          j. Termination. The registration rights provided to PMF hereunder, and the Company’s obligation to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective, shall terminate at such time as there are no Registrable Securities outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 5 and Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
          k. Compliance. PMF covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with the sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities only in accordance with a method of distribution described in the Shelf Registration Statement.

11.   CONDUCT OF CLAIMS

11.2   If claims are raised, legal or administrative proceedings commenced or threatened to be commenced against the Indemnitee by a third party, including government agencies (a “Third Party Claim”), which may give rise to a Claim, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in compliance with Section 11.1 of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall ensure that the Indemnitor shall (i) be provided with all materials, information (as it has in its possession) and assistance relevant in relation to the Third Party Claim, (ii) be given reasonable opportunity to comment or discuss with the Indemnitee any measures which the Indemnitor proposes to take or to omit in connection with a Third Party Claim, and (iii) in particular, the Indemnitor shall be given an opportunity to comment on, participate in, and review any reports on social security audits, disputes or appeals or other measures and shall receive without undue delay copies of all relevant notices (Bescheide) of any authority.

11.4   No admission of a Third Party Claim shall be made by or on behalf of the Indemnitee and the Third Party Claim shall not be disposed of (erledigt) or settled (verglichen) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The Indemnitee shall give all such information and assistance, as described above, including access to premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy or photograph any assets, accounts, documents and records as the Indemnitor or its professional advisors may from time to time request. The Indemnitor agrees to keep all such information confidential and only to use it for such purpose.

However, this obligation shall not apply to information that is proven (i) to have been (or have become) generally available (public domain) without breach of any obligation of any of the Parties, (ii) to have been known to the disclosing Party prior to the disclosure, (iii) to have been independently developed by the disclosing Party, or (iv) to have been received by the disclosing Party from a third party without any violation of any obligation of such third party owed to the disclosing Party.

This shall not, however, apply to the extent a Party or an affiliate of a Party is obliged to make any announcement or disclosure under applicable law or regulation. The right of the Parties to disclose matters to advisers who are bound by law to professional secrecy shall remain unaffected.
 
10.3   Unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement, no Party shall make any public announcement regarding the entering into of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties, unless (i) in a reasonable judgment of a Party, required by, or appropriate under applicable law or regulation, or (ii) except as required to perform this Agreement. Reasonably prior to any permitted announcement the Party wishing to make the announcement shall, to the extent possible without violation of legal restrictions, notify the other Parties thereof, provide to the other Parties the proposed wording of the announcement, consult with the other Parties and take any requests of the other Parties into due consideration.

13.2   If any provision of this Agreement or any provision to be incorporated into this Agreement is or becomes invalid or impracticable or should a necessary provision not be contained in this Agreement, the validity of this Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain unaffected. Instead of the invalid or impracticable provision or to bridge the gap, a valid provision is applicable which to the fullest extent possible corresponds to what the parties would have wanted or according to the sense and object of this Agreement would have agreed if they had known the invalidity or impracticability or had realized the gap.
 
13.3   This Agreement shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Federal Republic of Germany applicable to parties residing within the Federal Republic of Germany (without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the law of the Federal Republic of Germany).

The arbitration tribunal shall consist of 3 (three) arbitrators. The arbitration shall take place in Düsseldorf. The arbitration shall be conducted in English but written evidence (Beweismittel) may also be submitted in German. In the event that applicable mandatory law requires any matter arising out of or connection with this Agreement and its implementation to be decided by an ordinary court of law, the competent courts in Düsseldorf — to the extent legally possible — shall have the exclusive jurisdiction.
 
13.5   Notwithstanding other agreements referred to herein including the Insulin Agreement, this Agreement comprises the entire agreement between the Parties

    concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, agreements and undertakings of the parties whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Oral or written side agreements to this Agreement do not exist.

13.8   Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, no Party shall be entitled (i) to set-off (aufrechnen) any rights and claims it may have against any rights or claims any other Parties may have under this Agreement, or (ii) to refuse to perform any obligation it may have under this Agreement on the grounds of a right of retention (Zurückbehaltungsrecht) unless the rights or claims of the relevant Party claiming a right of set-off (Aufrechnung) or retention (Zurückbehaltung) have been acknowledged (anerkannt) in writing by the relevant other Party/Parties or have been confirmed by final decision of a competent court (Gericht) or arbitration court (Schiedsgericht).
