NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)

1. Interim Financial Statements
The interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Regeneron" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The December 31, 2014 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The previously issued (i) Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and (ii) Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 contained in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014, have each been revised in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect a correction in the Company's accounting for certain stock option awards. See Note 4.
In addition, the previously issued Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2014 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was previously revised to reflect a correction related to the accounting for costs incurred in connection with commercial bulk drug product manufactured by the Company, but not billed, under the Company's collaboration agreements with Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare, and the related tax impacts. The correcting adjustments resulted in a reduction to both accounts receivable and deferred revenue by $41.0 million, and reduced both income tax assets, net and additional paid-in capital by $14.2 million. The previously issued Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was also revised in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect a $9.4 million increase in cash flows from operating activities and a corresponding reduction in cash flows from financing activities related to the tax impact of these adjustments. These adjustments had no impact on the Company's previously issued Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income in any reporting period. The Company determined that the error is not material to any previously-issued financial statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform with the current period’s presentation.
2. Product Sales
EYLEA® net product sales in the United States totaled $734.4 million and $445.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $1,930.0 million and $1,218.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, ARCALYST® net product sales totaled $3.2 million and $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $9.9 million and $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Company recorded 65% and 72% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 67% and 75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, of its total gross product revenue from sales to Besse Medical, a subsidiary of AmerisourceBergen Corporation.

Under the provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA") and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, a non-tax deductible annual fee (the "Branded Prescription Drug Fee") is imposed on pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified government programs. In July 2014, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued final regulations that provide guidance on the Branded Prescription Drug Fee. The final regulations differ in some respects from the temporary regulations previously issued by the IRS in 2011, including that a company is liable for the fee based on its branded prescription drug sales in the current year, instead of the liability only being applicable upon the first qualifying branded prescription drug sale of the following fee year under the temporary regulations. As a result of the issuance of these final IRS regulations, the Company began recording an estimate of the fee in the same period in which its qualifying branded prescription drug sales occur. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2014, an incremental charge was recorded to (i) recognize a liability for the estimated fee payable based on 2014 sales through the first nine months of 2014, and (ii) expense the remaining prepaid asset recorded under the previous accounting for the estimated fee payable based on 2013 sales. The impact of the incremental charge in the third quarter of 2014 was $40.6 million, which was included in selling, general, and administrative expenses.
3. Collaboration Agreements
a. Sanofi
Sanofi collaboration revenue, as detailed below, consisted primarily of reimbursement for research and development and commercialization expenses that the Company incurred, partly offset by sharing of losses in connection with commercialization of antibodies, under the companies' Discovery and Preclinical Development Agreement ("Antibody Discovery Agreement") and License and Collaboration Agreement (each as amended), collectively referred to as the "Antibody Collaboration". In addition, in July 2015, the Company and Sanofi entered into a collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the "IO Collaboration").

Antibodies
Under the Company's November 2007 Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, as amended, agreed upon worldwide research and development expenses incurred by both companies during the term of the agreement are funded by Sanofi, except that following receipt of the first positive Phase 3 trial results for a co-developed drug candidate, subsequent Phase 3 trial-related costs for that drug candidate ("Shared Phase 3 Trial Costs") are shared 80% by Sanofi and 20% by Regeneron. During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized as additional research and development expense $25.1 million and $28.4 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recognized as additional research and development expense $72.6 million and $81.3 million, respectively, of antibody development expenses that the Company was obligated to reimburse to Sanofi related to Praluent® and sarilumab. In July 2014, in connection with the Company’s Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, the Company purchased a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") priority review voucher from a third party for $67.5 million. The Company and Sanofi equally shared the priority review voucher's purchase price, and the Company's share of the cost, or $33.8 million, was recorded as a research and development expense during the third quarter of 2014. The Company subsequently transferred the voucher to Sanofi, which used the priority review voucher in connection with the Biologics License Application submission to the FDA for Praluent.
Effective in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, the Company and Sanofi began sharing pre-launch commercialization expenses related to Praluent and sarilumab, respectively, in accordance with the companies’ License and Collaboration Agreement. In July 2015, the FDA approved Praluent for the treatment of adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or clinical atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, who require additional lowering of low-density lipoprotein ("LDL") cholesterol. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company also recorded its share of the Antibody Collaboration's losses in connection with commercialization of Praluent within Sanofi collaboration revenue.
In May 2013, the Company acquired from Sanofi full exclusive rights to antibodies targeting the platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) family of receptors and ligands in ophthalmology. With respect to PDGF antibodies, the Company made two $5.0 million development milestone payments to Sanofi in the first quarter of 2014 and a $10.0 million development milestone payment to

(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)


Sanofi in the second quarter of 2015, each of which was recorded as research and development expense. The Company is also obligated to pay up to $20.0 million in additional potential development milestones as well as royalties on any future sales of PDGF antibodies.
In July 2015, in connection with the Company’s new immuno-oncology collaboration with Sanofi, as described below, the Company’s Antibody Discovery Agreement and License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi were each amended. In connection with these amendments, Sanofi's funding of the Company’s antibody discovery activities under the existing Antibody Collaboration have been reduced from up to $160.0 million to up to $145.0 million in 2015, and from up to $160.0 million to up to $130.0 million in both 2016 and 2017, or an aggregate reduction of $75.0 million over this three-year period. In addition, the Company's discovery activities to identify and validate potential drug discovery targets in the field of immuno-oncology and develop fully human monoclonal antibodies against these targets will be funded by Sanofi under the terms of the companies’ new immuno-oncology collaboration.
Immuno-Oncology
The IO Collaboration is governed by an Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement ("IO Discovery Agreement"), and an Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement ("IO License and Collaboration Agreement"). In connection with the IO Discovery Agreement, Sanofi made a $265.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to the Company. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, the Company will spend up to $1,090.0 million ("IO Discovery Budget") to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop therapeutic antibodies against such targets through clinical proof-of-concept. Sanofi will reimburse the Company for up to $825.0 million ("IO Discovery Funding") of these costs, subject to certain annual limits, which consists of (i) $750.0 million in new funding and (ii) $75.0 million of funding that would have otherwise been available to Regeneron under the existing Antibody Discovery Agreement, as described above. The term of the IO Discovery Agreement will continue through the later of five years from the effective date of the IO Collaboration or the date the IO Discovery Budget is exhausted, subject to Sanofi’s option to extend it for up to an additional three years for the continued development (and funding) of selected ongoing programs. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, the Company will be primarily responsible for the design and conduct of all research activities, including target identification and validation, antibody development, preclinical activities, toxicology studies, manufacture of preclinical and clinical supplies, filing of Investigational New Drug ("IND") Applications, and clinical development through proof-of-concept. The Company will reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs they funded that are attributable to clinical development of antibody product candidates under the IO Discovery Agreement from Regeneron's share of future profits, if any, from commercialized products to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. However, the Company is not required to apply more than 10% of its share of the profits from IO Collaboration products in any calendar quarter towards reimbursing Sanofi for these development costs. With regard to product candidates for which proof-of-concept is established, Sanofi will have the option to license rights to the product candidate pursuant to the IO License and Collaboration Agreement (as further described below). If Sanofi does not exercise its option to license rights to a product candidate, the Company will retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize such product candidate and Sanofi will be entitled to receive a royalty on sales.
In connection with the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi made a $375.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to the Company. If Sanofi exercises its option to license rights to a product candidate thereunder, it will co-develop the drug candidate with the Company through product approval. Principal control of development of each product candidate that enters development under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement will alternate between the Company and Sanofi on a candidate-by-candidate basis. Sanofi will fund drug candidate development costs up front for the candidates for which it is the principal controlling party and the Company will reimburse half of the total development costs for all such candidates from its share of future profits to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose, subject to the same 10% reimbursement limitation described above. In addition, Sanofi and the Company will share equally, on an ongoing basis, the development costs for the drug candidates for which the Company is the principal controlling party. The party having principal control over the development of a product candidate will also lead the commercialization activities for such product candidate in the United States. For all products commercialized under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States. Each party will have the right to co-promote licensed products in countries where it is not the lead commercialization party. The parties will share equally in any profits from worldwide sales of collaboration products. Regeneron is obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical requirements of each drug candidate under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement until commercial supplies of that IO drug candidate are being manufactured.
Under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties will also co-develop the Company’s antibody product candidate targeting the receptor known as Programmed Cell Death protein 1, or PD-1 ("REGN2810"). The parties will

10

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)


share equally, on an ongoing basis, development expenses for REGN2810 up to a total of $650.0 million. The Company will have principal control over the development of REGN2810 and will lead commercialization activities in the United States, subject to Sanofi’s right to co-promote, while Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States and the parties will equally share profits from worldwide sales. The Company will be entitled to a milestone payment of $375.0 million in the event that sales of all licensed products targeting PD-1 (including REGN2810), together with sales of any other products licensed under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement and sold for use in combination with a licensed product targeting PD-1, equal or exceed $2.0 billion in any consecutive twelve-month period.
With respect to each product candidate that enters development under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi or the Company may, by giving twelve months’ notice, opt-out of further development and/or commercialization of the product, in which event the other party will retain exclusive rights to continue the development and/or commercialization of such product.
At the inception of the IO Collaboration, the Company's significant deliverables consisted of (i) license to certain rights and intellectual property, (ii) providing research and development services, and (iii) manufacturing clinical supplies. The Company concluded that the license did not have standalone value, primarily due to the fact that such rights were not sold separately by the Company, nor could Sanofi receive any benefit from the license without the fulfillment of other ongoing obligations by the Company, including the clinical supply arrangement. Therefore, the deliverables were considered a single unit of accounting. Consequently, the $640.0 million in aggregate upfront payments was initially recorded as deferred revenue, and will be recognized ratably as revenue over the related performance period.
ZALTRAP
In September 2003, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement ("ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement") with Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc. (predecessor to Sanofi U.S.) to jointly develop and commercialize ZALTRAP. Under the terms of the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement, as amended, Regeneron and Sanofi shared co-promotion rights and profits and losses on sales of ZALTRAP outside of Japan, and the Company was entitled to receive a percentage of sales of ZALTRAP in Japan. Sanofi commenced sales of ZALTRAP (ziv-aflibercept) Injection for Intravenous Infusion, in combination with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin, irinotecan ("FOLFIRI"), for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer ("mCRC") that is resistant to or has progressed following an oxaliplatin-containing regimen, in the United States in the third quarter of 2012 and in certain European and other countries in the first quarter of 2013.
In February 2015, the Company and Sanofi entered into an amended and restated ZALTRAP agreement ("Amended ZALTRAP Agreement"), with an effective date of July 1, 2014. Under the terms of the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement, Sanofi is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of ZALTRAP for cancer indications worldwide. Sanofi bears the cost of all development and commercialization activities and reimburses Regeneron for its costs for any such activities. Sanofi pays the Company a percentage of aggregate net sales of ZALTRAP during each calendar year, which percentage shall be from 15% to 30%, depending on the aggregate net sales of ZALTRAP in such calendar year. The Company will also be paid for all quantities of ZALTRAP manufactured by it, pursuant to a supply agreement, through the earlier of 2021 or the date Sanofi receives regulatory approval to manufacture ZALTRAP at one of its facilities, or a facility of a third party. In addition, Regeneron no longer has a contingent contractual obligation to reimburse Sanofi for 50% of the development expenses that Sanofi previously funded for the development of ZALTRAP under the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions, the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement will continue to be in effect until such time as neither Sanofi nor its affiliates or sublicensees is developing or commercializing ZALTRAP.
As a result of entering into the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement, in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recognized $14.9 million of collaboration revenue, which was previously recorded as deferred revenue under the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement, related to (i) amounts that were previously reimbursed by Sanofi for manufacturing commercial supplies of ZALTRAP since the risk of inventory loss no longer existed, and (ii) the unamortized portion of up-front payments from Sanofi as the Company had no further performance obligations. In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $9.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively, in technology licensing and other revenue, primarily related to (i) revenues earned from Sanofi based on a percentage of net sales of ZALTRAP and (ii) revenues earned from Sanofi for manufacturing ZALTRAP commercial supplies.

b. Bayer HealthCare
The Company and Bayer HealthCare globally collaborate on the development and commercialization of EYLEA outside of the United States. In addition, in January 2014, the Company entered into a license and collaboration agreement with Bayer HealthCare governing the joint development and commercialization outside the United States of an antibody product candidate to Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor Beta (PDGFR-beta).

EYLEA outside the United States
In the first quarter of 2015, the Company earned a $15.0 million sales milestone from Bayer HealthCare upon total aggregate net sales of specific commercial supplies of EYLEA outside the United States exceeding $200 million over a twelve-month period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company earned five $15.0 million sales milestones (two of which were recorded in the third quarter of 2014) from Bayer HealthCare upon total aggregate net sales of EYLEA outside the United States exceeding $500 million, $600 million, $700 million, $800 million, and $900 million, respectively, over a twelve-month period.
In January 2014, Bayer HealthCare decided to participate in the global development and commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States for the treatment of macular edema following branch retinal vein occlusion ("BRVO"). In connection with this decision, Bayer HealthCare reimbursed Regeneron $15.7 million for a defined share of the EYLEA global development costs that the Company had incurred prior to February 2014 for the BRVO indication, which was recognized as Bayer HealthCare collaboration revenue in the first quarter of 2014 and is included with "Cost-sharing of Regeneron EYLEA development expenses" in the table above. In addition, all future agreed upon global EYLEA development expenses incurred in connection with BRVO are being shared equally, and any profits or losses on sales of EYLEA outside of the United States for the treatment of macular edema following BRVO are also shared (for countries other than Japan). The Company is entitled to receive a tiered percentage of EYLEA net sales in Japan.
PDGFR-beta antibody outside the United States
In January 2014, the Company entered into an agreement with Bayer HealthCare governing the joint development and commercialization outside the United States of an antibody product candidate to PDGFR-beta, including in combination with EYLEA, for the treatment of ocular diseases or disorders. In connection with the agreement, Bayer HealthCare made a $25.5 million non-refundable upfront payment to the Company in January 2014, and is obligated to pay 25% of global development costs and 50% of development costs exclusively for the territory outside the United States under the initial development plan. The $25.5 million upfront payment was initially recorded as deferred revenue, and will be recognized as revenue over the related performance period. Bayer HealthCare is also obligated to reimburse the Company for 50% of development milestone payments to Sanofi related to the Company's acquisition of rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF family of receptors in May 2013, as described above. In that regard, Bayer HealthCare made two $2.5 million development milestone payments to the Company in the first quarter of 2014 (both of which, for the purpose of revenue recognition, were not considered substantive) and a $5.0 million development milestone payment to the Company in the second quarter of 2015 (which was recognized as a substantive milestone).
c. Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
In September 2015, the Company and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation ("MTPC") entered into a collaboration agreement (the "MTPC Collaboration Agreement") providing MTPC with development and commercial rights to fasinumab, the Company's nerve growth factor antibody in late-stage clinical development, in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka (the "MTPC Territories"). In connection with the MTPC Collaboration Agreement, MTPC made a $10.0 million non-refundable upfront payment, and the Company is entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $65.0 million in development milestones achieved by the Company and $150.0 million in other contingent payments, primarily related to development milestones achieved by MTPC.
Under the MTPC Collaboration Agreement, the Company is obligated to manufacture and supply MTPC with clinical and commercial supplies of fasinumab. If fasinumab is commercialized in the MTPC Territories, the Company will supply the product to MTPC at a tiered purchase price, which ranges from 30% to 50% of net sales of the product (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and is eligible for additional payments up to an aggregate of $100.0 million upon the achievement of specified annual net sales amounts starting at $200 million. Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions, the MTPC Collaboration Agreement will continue to be in effect until such time as MTPC has ceased developing or commercializing fasinumab in the MTPC Territories.
At the inception of the MTPC Collaboration Agreement, the Company's significant deliverables consisted of (i) exclusive rights to develop and commercialize fasinumab in the MTPC Territories, and (ii) manufacturing clinical and commercial supplies. The Company concluded that the license did not have standalone value, as such right was not sold separately by the Company, nor could MTPC receive any benefit from the license without the manufacturing services to be rendered by the Company. Therefore, the deliverables were considered a single unit of accounting. Consequently, the $10.0 million upfront payment was initially recorded as deferred revenue, and will be recognized ratably as revenue over the related performance period.

4. Stock-based Compensation
The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for grants of stock option awards and restricted stock under the Company's applicable Long-Term Incentive Plan based on the grant-date fair value of those awards. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $102.6 million and $68.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $300.7 million and $208.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Revisions of Previously-Issued Financial Statements
During the first quarter of 2015, the Company determined that for certain stock option awards granted to an employee in prior periods, the incorrect requisite service period was utilized in determining the period over which the related compensation expense should have been recorded. Such awards were made as part of the Company's annual employee option grants in December of each applicable year. As a result, compensation expense for the three months and years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was understated, and compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, June 30, 2014 and 2013, and September 30, 2014 and 2013 was overstated. These revisions consisted entirely of non-cash adjustments, and therefore had no impact on the Company's previously reported total cash flows from operating activities and total cash flows in its Statements of Cash Flows. The Company evaluated the impact of these items on prior periods, assessing materiality quantitatively and qualitatively, and concluded that the errors were not considered to be material to any previously-issued quarterly or annual financial statements. However, the Company concluded that it would revise the applicable prior period amounts in this filing to reflect the impact of these corrections because the cumulative amount of such corrections is expected to be material to the year ending December 31, 2015. The Company's prior-period financial statements will reflect these revisions for the applicable periods presented in future filings.
The table below presents the impact of these revisions, including the related tax effect, on the Company's previously-filed financial statements.

5. Net Income Per Share
The Company’s basic net income per share amounts have been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding. Net income per share is presented on a combined basis, inclusive of Common Stock and Class A Stock outstanding, as each class of stock has equivalent economic rights. Diluted net income per share includes the potential dilutive effect of other securities as if such securities were converted or exercised during the period, when the effect is dilutive. The calculations of basic and diluted net income per share are as follows:

Marketable securities included in Level 2 are valued using quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuations in which significant inputs used are observable. The Company considers market liquidity in determining the fair value for these securities. The Company did not record any charges for other-than-temporary impairment of its Level 2 marketable securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
There were no purchases, sales, or maturities of Level 3 marketable securities and no unrealized gains or losses related to Level 3 marketable securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, transfers of marketable securities from Level 2 to Level 1 were $91.4 million in connection with the lapse of the transfer restrictions on the Company's investment in Avalanche common shares in January 2015. The Company's policy for recognition of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy is to recognize any transfer at the beginning of the fiscal quarter in which the determination to transfer was made. There were no other transfers of marketable securities between Levels 1, 2, or 3 classifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and there were no transfers of marketable securities between Levels 1, 2, or 3 classifications during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $33.1 million and $169.4 million, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of 1.875% convertible senior notes (the "Notes") that will mature on October 1, 2016 unless earlier converted or repurchased. As described in Note 10, an additional portion of the Notes was surrendered for conversion during the first nine months of 2015. The fair value of the outstanding Notes was estimated to be $175.2 million and $819.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and was determined based on Level 2 inputs, such as market and observable sources.
Additionally, as described in Note 10, pursuant to a November 2014 amendment agreement with a warrant holder, a portion of the Company's warrants were classified as a liability and measured at fair value as of December 31, 2014. The fair value of this liability was estimated to be $87.5 million as of December 31, 2014, and was determined based on Level 2 inputs, such as market and observable sources. During the first quarter of 2015, upon expiration of the November 2014 amendment agreement, the remaining warrants were re-measured at fair value and reclassified back to additional paid-in capital.

10. Debt
a. Convertible Debt
In the first nine months of 2015, the Company settled conversion obligations for $146.0 million principal amount of the Company's Notes that was previously surrendered for conversion. In accordance with the terms of the Notes, the Company elected to settle these conversion obligations through a combination of cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the converted Notes, and shares of the Company's Common Stock in respect of any amounts due in excess thereof. Consequently, in the first nine months of 2015, the Company paid $146.0 million in cash and issued 1,419,287 shares of Common Stock. In addition, in the first nine months of 2015, the Company allocated $705.9 million of the settlement consideration provided to the Note holders to the reacquisition of the equity component of the Notes, and recognized such amount as a reduction of stockholders' equity, and recognized a $16.9 million loss on the debt extinguishment. As of September 30, 2015, an aggregate principal amount of $33.1 million of the original $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes remained outstanding.
In connection with the initial offering of the Notes in October 2011, the Company entered into convertible note hedge and warrant transactions with multiple counterparties, which were recorded to additional paid-in capital. As a result of the Note conversions described above, in the first nine months of 2015, the Company also exercised a proportionate amount of its convertible note hedges, for which the Company received 1,419,268 shares of Common Stock, which was approximately equal to the number of shares the Company was required to issue to settle the non-cash portion of the related Note conversions. The Company recorded the cost of the shares received, or $119.2 million, as Treasury Stock during the first nine months of 2015.
In addition to the Note conversions described above, the Company received notifications in the third and fourth quarters of 2015 that an additional $20.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes were surrendered for conversion, and settlement is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company has elected to settle the related conversion obligations through a combination of cash and shares (total payment will be based on the average of the volume-weighted-average prices of the Common Stock during the 40 trading-day cash settlement averaging period specified in the indenture governing the Notes). In connection with these Note conversions, the Company exercised a proportionate amount of its convertible note hedges, for which the Company expects to receive shares of Common Stock equivalent to the number of shares the Company will be required to issue to settle the non-cash portion of the related Note conversions.
In the first nine months of 2014, the Company settled conversion obligations for $61.1 million principal amount of the Notes surrendered for conversion. Upon settlement of the Notes, which occurred during the second quarter of 2014, the Company paid $61.1 million in cash and issued 521,876 shares of Common Stock. In addition, during the second quarter of 2014, the Company allocated $156.7 million of the settlement consideration provided to the Note holders to the reacquisition of the equity component of the Notes, and recognized such amount as a reduction of stockholders' equity, and recognized a $10.8 million loss on the debt extinguishment. In connection with the Note conversions in the first nine months of 2014, the Company also exercised a proportionate amount of its convertible note hedges, for which the Company received 521,876 shares of Common Stock, which was equivalent to the number of shares the Company was required to issue to settle the non-cash portion of the related Note conversions. The Company recorded the cost of the shares received, or $43.8 million, as Treasury Stock during the first nine months of 2014.
In November 2014, the Company entered into an amendment agreement with a warrant holder whereby the parties agreed to reduce a portion of the number of warrants held by the warrant holder by up to a maximum of 493,229. The reduction in the number of warrants was determined based on the number of warrants with respect to which the warrant holder had closed out its hedge position, provided that the warrant holder did not effect any purchases at a price per share exceeding $397.75 per share, during the period starting on November 26, 2014 and ending no later than February 12, 2015. The Company was obligated to settle any payments due under the amendment agreement in February 2015. Given that the amendment agreement contained a conditional obligation that required settlement in cash, and the Company's obligation was indexed to the Company's share price, the Company reclassified the estimated fair value of the 493,229 warrants from additional paid-in capital to a liability in November 2014, with such liability subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. As a result of the warrant holder closing out a portion of its hedge position prior to December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $59.8 million accrued liability as of December 31, 2014 in connection with the warrant holder reducing the number of warrants it held. During the first quarter of 2015, the warrant holder closed out additional portions of its hedge position, and, as a result, in February 2015 the Company paid a total of $124.0 million to reduce the number of warrants held by such warrant holder by 416,480. Upon expiration of the November 2014 amended agreement, in the first quarter of 2015, the remaining warrants were re-measured at fair value, and $23.3 million was reclassified back to additional paid-in capital, consistent with the original classification of the warrants

under the 2011 issuance. Total losses related to changes in fair value of the warrants during the first quarter of 2015 were not material.
In addition to the warrant transaction described above, during the first nine months of 2015, the Company entered into agreements to reduce the number of warrants held by warrant holders. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $399.5 million to the warrant holders during 2015 to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant by 898,547 in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2015, an aggregate of 2,225,068 warrants (subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the applicable warrant agreements) remained outstanding.
During the first nine months of 2014, the Company also entered into agreements to reduce the number of warrants held by warrant holders. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company paid an aggregate amount of $143.0 million to the warrant holders during 2014 to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants by 727,516 in the aggregate.
b. Credit Facility
In March 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the "Credit Agreement") which provides for a $750.0 million senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"). The Credit Agreement includes an option for the Company to elect to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility and/or to enter into one or more tranches of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million subject to the consent of the lenders providing the additional commitments or term loans, as applicable, and certain other conditions. Proceeds of the loans under the Credit Facility may be used to finance working capital needs, and for general corporate or other lawful purposes, of Regeneron and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also provides a $100.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement includes an option for the Company to elect to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility beyond March 2020, subject to the consent of the extending lenders and certain other conditions. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be prepaid, and the commitments under the Credit Facility may be terminated, at any time without premium or penalty.
Any loans under the Credit Facility have a variable interest rate based on either the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or an alternate base rate, plus an applicable margin that varies with the Company's debt rating and total leverage ratio. The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015.
The Credit Agreement contains financial and operating covenants. Financial covenants include a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015.
11. Income Taxes
The Company is subject to U.S. federal, state, and foreign income taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision in its Statement of Operations of $182.9 million and $98.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $516.7 million and $323.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate was 46.5% and 54.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 51.8% and 56.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by (i) losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, (ii) the non-deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee, and (iii) expiration, at the end of 2014, of the federal tax credit for increased research activities. The negative impact of these items was partly offset by the positive impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction.
The Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the federal statutory rate, the incremental charge related to the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee (see Note 2), and expiration at the end of 2013 of the federal tax credit for increased research activities. In addition, the Company's effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was negatively impacted by New York State tax legislation enacted in the first quarter of 2014. This tax legislation reduced the New York State income tax rate to zero percent for "qualified manufacturers," including Regeneron, effective in 2014; however, it also resulted in the Company reducing its related deferred tax assets as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2014. As a result, this tax legislation caused a net increase in the Company's effective tax rate by 2.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

13. Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the course of the Company's business. Costs associated with the Company's involvement in legal proceedings are expensed as incurred.
Proceedings Relating to '287 Patent and '018 Patent
The Company is a party to patent infringement litigation involving its European Patent No. 1,360,287 and, with respect to certain defendants, also European Patent No. 2,264,163 (collectively, as applicable, the "'287 Patent"), as well as its U.S. Patent No. 8,502,018 (the "'018 Patent"). Each of these patents concerns genetically altered mice capable of producing chimeric antibodies that are part human and part mouse. Chimeric antibody sequences can be used to produce high-affinity fully human monoclonal antibodies. In these proceedings (the "'287 Patent Infringement Litigation" and "'018 Patent Infringement Litigation," respectively), the Company claims infringement of several claims of the '287 Patent and the '018 Patent (as applicable), and seeks, among other types of relief, an injunction and an account of profits in connection with the defendants' infringing acts, which may include, among other things, the making, use, keeping, sale, or offer for sale of genetically engineered mice (or certain cells from which they are derived) that infringe one or more claims of the '287 Patent and the '018 Patent (as applicable). At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of, or an estimate of gain, if any, related to, these proceedings.

(Unless otherwise noted, dollars in thousands, except per share data)


Proceedings Relating to Praluent (alirocumab) Injection
On October 17, 2014 and October 28, 2014, Amgen Inc. filed complaints against Regeneron, Sanofi, Aventisub LLC (subsequently removed and replaced with Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC), and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware seeking an injunction to prohibit Regeneron and the other defendants from manufacturing, using, offering to sell, or selling within the United States (as well as importing into the United States) Praluent, which Regeneron is jointly developing with Sanofi. On November 11, 2014 and November 17, 2014 Amgen filed complaints against Regeneron, Sanofi, Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, and Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. in the same court seeking the same relief. Amgen asserts U.S. Patent Nos. 8,563,698, 8,829,165, and 8,859,741 in the first complaint, U.S. Patent Nos. 8,871,913 and 8,871,914 in the second complaint, U.S. Patent No. 8,883,983 in the third complaint, and U.S. Patent No. 8,889,834 in the fourth complaint. Amgen also seeks a judgment of patent infringement of the asserted patents, monetary damages (together with interest), costs and expenses of the lawsuits, and attorneys' fees. On December 15, 2014, all of the four proceedings were consolidated into a single case. On September 15, 2015, Amgen filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental and second amended complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, willful infringement of the asserted patents, which would entitle Amgen to treble damages if the court finds willful infringement. The Company and Sanofi have opposed the motion, and the parties are awaiting the court's decision on the motion. The trial is currently set to begin on March 7, 2016, and a permanent injunction hearing (which would be held if the court finds infringement by the Company and Sanofi) is currently scheduled to begin on March 23, 2016. This matter has not yet progressed sufficiently through discovery and/or development of important factual information and legal issues to enable the Company to estimate a range of possible loss, if any.
Proceedings Relating to Patents Owned by Genentech and City of Hope
On July 27, 2015, the Company and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (Los Angeles division) seeking a declaratory judgment of invalidity, as well as non-infringement by the manufacture, use, sale, offer of sale, or importation of Praluent (alirocumab), of U.S. Patent No. 7,923,221 (the "'221 Patent") jointly owned by Genentech, Inc. ("Genentech") and City of Hope relating to the production of recombinant antibodies in host cells. On the same day, the Company and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC initiated an inter partes review in the United States Patent and Trademark Office seeking a declaration of invalidity of U.S. Patent No. 6,331,415 jointly owned by Genentech and City of Hope relating to the production of recombinant antibodies in host cells. On September 17, 2015, Genentech and City of Hope answered the complaint previously filed by the Company and Sanofi and counterclaimed, alleging that the Company and Sanofi infringe the '221 Patent and seeking, among other types of relief, damages and a permanent injunction. On November 2, 2015, the court set a tentative trial date beginning on September 27, 2016. At this time, the Company is not able to predict the outcome of these proceedings.
14. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. To achieve that core principle, an entity must identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new standard by one year; as a result, the new standard will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption will be permitted, but no earlier than 2017 for calendar year-end entities. The standard allows for two transition methods - retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. The Company has not yet determined its method of transition and is evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the Company's financial statements.

* Sanofi did not opt-in to or elected not to continue to co-develop the product candidate. Under the terms of our agreement, Sanofi is entitled to receive a mid-single digit royalty on future sales of the product candidate.
** We acquired from Sanofi full exclusive rights to antibodies targeting the Ang2 receptor and ligand in ophthalmology, which were previously included in our antibody collaboration with Sanofi. Under the terms of our agreement, Sanofi is entitled to receive a potential development milestone and royalties on any future sales of the product candidate.
REGN1400, an antibody to ErbB3, and REGN1154, an antibody against an undisclosed target, both of which were previously in Phase 1 studies, are no longer in clinical development.
Our core business strategy is to maintain a strong foundation in basic scientific research and discovery-enabling technologies, and to combine that foundation with our clinical development, manufacturing, and commercial capabilities. We are executing our long-term objective to build a successful, integrated, multi-product biopharmaceutical company that provides patients and medical professionals with innovative options for preventing and treating human diseases.
We believe that our ability to develop product candidates is enhanced by the application of our VelociSuite® technology platforms. Our discovery platforms are designed to identify specific proteins of therapeutic interest for a particular disease or cell type and validate these targets through high-throughput production of genetically modified mice using our VelociGene® technology to understand the role of these proteins in normal physiology, as well as in models of disease. Our human monoclonal antibody technology (VelocImmune) and cell line expression technologies (VelociMab®) may then be utilized to discover and produce new product candidates directed against the disease target. Our antibody product candidates currently in clinical trials were developed using VelocImmune. We continue to invest in the development of enabling technologies to assist in our efforts to identify, develop, manufacture, and commercialize new product candidates.
In 2014, we launched a new human genetics initiative via a wholly owned subsidiary, Regeneron Genetics Center LLC (RGC). RGC performs sequencing and genotyping to generate de-identified genomic data. The objective of RGC is to expand the use of human genetics for discovering and validating genetic factors that cause or influence a range of diseases where there are major unmet medical needs, with the prospect of improving the drug discovery and development process. RGC is undertaking both large population-based efforts as well as family- and founder-based approaches. RGC leverages laboratory automation and an innovative approach to cloud computing to achieve high-quality throughput at a rate that exceeds 70,000 unique samples per year.

Trap-based Clinical Programs
EYLEA - Ophthalmologic Diseases
Overview
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a naturally occurring protein in the body. Its normal role in a healthy organism is to trigger formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) supporting the growth of the body's tissues and organs. However, in certain diseases, such as wet AMD, it is also associated with the growth of abnormal new blood vessels in the eye, which exhibit abnormal increased permeability that leads to edema. Scarring and loss of fine-resolution central vision often results. CRVO is caused by obstruction of the central retinal vein that leads to a back-up of blood and fluid in the retina. Release of VEGF contributes to increased vascular permeability in the eye and macular edema. In BRVO, a blockage occurs in the blood vessels branching from the main vein draining the retina, resulting in the release of VEGF and consequent retinal edema. For centrally involved DME, VEGF-mediated leakage of fluid from blood vessels in the eye results in interference with vision. Wet AMD, diabetic retinopathy (which includes DME), and RVO are three of the leading causes of adult blindness in the developed world. In these conditions, severe visual loss is caused by neovascular proliferation and/or retinal edema.
EYLEA is a recombinant fusion protein, consisting of portions of human VEGF receptors 1 and 2 extracellular domains fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1 and formulated as an iso-osmotic solution for intravitreal administration. EYLEA acts as a soluble decoy receptor that binds VEGF-A and placental growth factor (PlGF) and thereby can inhibit the binding and activation of these cognate VEGF receptors. EYLEA is specially purified and contains iso-osmotic buffer concentrations, allowing for injection into the eye.
Neovascular Glaucoma
NVG is a secondary glaucoma triggered by the formation of new blood vessels (neovascularization) on the iris and the anterior chamber angle. Neovascularization restricts aqueous outflow and consequently elevates intraocular pressure (IOP). NVG is a serious condition that may lead to permanent loss of vision, a persistently painful eye, and, especially in the advanced stages, is unlikely to respond to treatment. NVG is caused by eye diseases leading to retinal ischemia, mainly CRVO, proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), and ocular ischemic syndrome (OIS).
NVG meets the criteria for an orphan indication in Japan where the estimated number of NVG patients is 30,000 to 40,000. In the second quarter of 2015, Bayer HealthCare initiated a Phase 3 study in Japan to assess the efficacy and safety of intravitreal administration of aflibercept in comparison to sham treatment on the change in IOP in patients with NVG.

Late-Stage Antibody-based Clinical Programs
Praluent for LDL cholesterol reduction
Overview
Elevated LDL cholesterol ("bad cholesterol") level is a validated risk factor leading to cardiovascular disease. Statins are a class of drugs that lower LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) through inhibition of HMG-CoA, an enzyme regulating the early and rate-limiting step in cholesterol biosynthesis that ultimately results in an increase in LDL receptors to increase the uptake of plasma LDL lipoproteins. Similar to statins, PCSK9 impacts the number of available LDL receptors and therefore plays a key role in modulating LDL-C levels in the body. PCSK9 is a secreted protein that binds to and induces the destruction of the LDL receptor, thereby interfering with cellular uptake and increasing circulating levels of LDL cholesterol. In a landmark study published in The New England Journal of Medicine in March 2006, patients with lower than normal PCSK9 levels due to a genetic abnormality not only had significantly lower levels of LDL-C, but also a significant reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). We used our VelocImmune technology to generate a fully human monoclonal antibody inhibitor of PCSK9, called Praluent, that is intended to lower LDL cholesterol.
Clinical Programs
Phase 3 ODYSSEY Program. We and Sanofi initiated the global Phase 3 ODYSSEY program for Praluent in 2012. The ODYSSEY program consists of more than 23,500 patients, and includes clinical trials evaluating the effect of Praluent, dosed every two weeks, on lowering LDL cholesterol. In addition, the potential of Praluent to demonstrate cardiovascular benefit is being prospectively assessed in the ongoing 18,000-patient ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial. LDL cholesterol reduction is the primary efficacy endpoint for initial regulatory filings. Additionally, the ODYSSEY program includes two trials of Praluent dosed every four weeks, ODYSSEY CHOICE I and ODYSSEY CHOICE II. Patients in the ODYSSEY CHOICE I trial received Praluent 300 mg (most in combination with statins) every four weeks and patients in the CHOICE II trial received Praluent 150 mg monotherapy and in combination with non-statin lipid lowering therapy every four weeks.
In 2013, we and Sanofi reported data from the ODYSSEY MONO trial, which evaluated the efficacy and safety of Praluent monotherapy versus ezetimibe monotherapy in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia. In 2014, we and Sanofi reported detailed positive results from nine additional Phase 3 ODYSSEY studies. All ten studies (ODYSSEY MONO, LONG TERM, FH I, FH II, HIGH FH, COMBO I, COMBO II, OPTIONS I, OPTIONS II, and ALTERNATIVE) met their primary efficacy endpoint of a greater percent reduction from baseline in LDL-C at 24 weeks compared to placebo or active comparator. Based on the positive results of these studies, a Biologics License Application (BLA) for U.S. regulatory approval of Praluent was submitted, and accepted by the FDA in January 2015. An FDA rare pediatric disease priority review voucher was utilized in connection with this BLA submission, as a result of which the submission was accepted by the FDA for priority review. In July 2015, the FDA approved Praluent as an adjunct to diet and maximally tolerated stain therapy for the treatment of adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or clinical ASCVD, who require additional lowering of LDL cholesterol. In addition, in September 2015, the European Commission granted marketing authorization of Praluent for the treatment of adult patients with primary hypercholesterolemia (HeFH and non-familial) or mixed dyslipidemia as an adjunct to diet: (a) in combination with a statin, or statin with other lipid-lowering therapies in patients unable to reach their LDL-cholesterol goals with the maximally-tolerated statin, or (b) alone or in combination with other lipid-lowering therapies for patients who are statin intolerant, or for whom a statin is contraindicated. The effect of Praluent on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.
In January 2015, we and Sanofi announced that the ODYSSEY CHOICE I and ODYSSEY CHOICE II studies met their primary efficacy endpoints. The trials compared the reduction from baseline in LDL-C at 24 weeks with Praluent versus placebo in patients with hypercholesterolemia. In these trials dosing every four weeks, the mean percent reduction in LDL-C from baseline was consistent with that seen in previous Phase 3 trials evaluating Praluent in every other week dosing. The most common adverse events (AEs) in the trials (occurring in at least 5% of Praluent-treated patients) were injection site reactions, headache, upper respiratory tract infection, arthralgia, nausea, sinusitis, pain in extremity, and fatigue. Injection site reactions occurred more frequently in the Praluent groups compared to placebo.
In July 2015, we and Sanofi announced that the Phase 3 ODYSSEY JAPAN trial met its primary endpoint. At week 24, patients in the Praluent group experienced an average 64% greater reduction from baseline in their LDL-C when added to current standard of care including statins, compared to standard of care alone (p<0.0001). Patients were started on the lower dose of 75 mg, with the option to adjust their dose to 150 mg if they had not achieved their LDL-C goal (as defined by the Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) guidelines) at week 8. At week 24, 97% of patients in the Praluent group reached their LDL-C treatment goal, compared to 10% for placebo (p<0.0001). Ninety-nine percent of patients who received Praluent at week 8 remained on the initial 75 mg dose, while 1% of patients had their dose adjusted to receive 150 mg every two weeks, also as a single 1 milliliter (mL) injection. The most common adverse events (occurring in at least 5% of patients in the Praluent group) were nasopharyngitis, injection site reaction, and back pain. Results were presented at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the JAS in Sendai, Japan.

ODYSSEY JAPAN evaluated Praluent (n =144) compared to placebo (n =72), both on top of standard care, in Japanese patients with hypercholesterolemia, with either HeFH or at high CV risk, and who could not reach their LDL-C treatment goal as defined by the JAS guidelines despite lipid-lowering treatments that included statins. The mean LDL-C value at baseline was 141.2 mg/dL. Patients were initially randomized to receive either Praluent 75 mg every two weeks administered as a single 1 mL injection, or placebo. Patients in both groups received statins, with or without other lipid-lowering therapies.
Sarilumab (REGN88; IL-6R Antibody) for inflammatory diseases
Overview
IL-6 is a key cytokine involved in the pathogenesis of RA, causing inflammation and joint destruction. Sarilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to IL-6R generated using our VelocImmune technology.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Phase 3 Studies. In 2013, we and Sanofi announced that in the 52 week SARIL-RA-MOBILITY Phase 3 clinical trial in adult patients with active RA who were inadequate responders to methotrexate (MTX) therapy, sarilumab treatment in combination with MTX improved disease signs and symptoms as well as physical function, and inhibited progression of joint damage. Additional data from the trial were presented at the annual meeting of the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) in June 2015. A summary of primary endpoints and most common AEs for this trial, as well as additional Phase 3 trials, is as follows:

Detailed results from the SARIL-RA-TARGET, SARIL-RA-EASY, and SARIL-RA-ASCERTAIN trials will be presented at the upcoming annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology and other medical congresses.
We and Sanofi have also initiated additional Phase 3 studies, SARIL-RA-ONE, SARIL-RA-MONARCH, and SARIL-RA-KAKEHASI (in Japan). In addition, the SARIL-RA-HARUKA long-term safety trial was initiated in Japan in the first quarter of 2015. In the second quarter of 2015, an open-label, randomized, parallel group, single-dose Phase 1 study to assess the safety of IL-6 receptor blockade with sarilumab or tocilizumab monotherapy in Japanese patients with RA was also initiated. The broad SARIL-RA clinical development program is focused on adult populations with moderate-to-severe RA who are inadequate responders to either MTX or tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitor therapy. Patients who complete SARIL-RA-MOBILITY, SARIL-RA-TARGET, SARIL-RA-ASCERTAIN, or SARIL-RA-ONE are offered enrollment into the ongoing SARIL-RA-EXTEND, which is an open-label, long-term safety study of sarilumab.
Non-infectious Uveitis
Phase 2 SARIL-NIU-SATURN Study. SARIL-NIU-SATURN was a small Phase 2, randomized double-masked, placebo-controlled study (n=58) conducted to assess the effect of sarilumab on non-infectious uveitis of the posterior ocular segment. The primary endpoint of the study was the proportion of patients with a 2-step decrease in vitreous haze (based on a 9-point grading scale) or a steroid dose of less than 10 mg/day at week 16. Results of this study at the pre-specified primary endpoint, week 16, showed that compared with placebo patients, a greater proportion of patients randomized to sarilumab met the primary endpoint; however, this was not statistically significant. Approximately 70% of patients enrolled in the study had a baseline vitreous haze score of less than 2 as judged by the reading center, limiting our ability to interpret the vitreous haze component of the primary endpoint for these patients. Other indications of a positive effect of treatment with sarilumab compared to placebo included decreased average vitreous haze score, reduced macular edema and improved best-corrected visual acuity in patients presenting with more severe baseline ocular inflammation, and associated with improvement of leakage on fluorescein angiography. Overall, safety observations were consistent with the findings in studies of other indications with sarilumab. The study is ongoing and will continue through week 52, when we will discuss next steps with our collaborator Sanofi.
Dupilumab (REGN668; IL-4R Antibody) for allergic and inflammatory conditions
Overview
IL-4R is required for signaling by the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. Both of these cytokines are critical mediators of immune response, which, in turn, drives the formation of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies and the development of allergic responses, as well as the atopic state that underlies atopic (allergic) dermatitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Dupilumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody generated using our VelocImmune technology that is designed to bind to IL-4R alpha subunit and block signaling from both IL-4 and IL-13.
Atopic Dermatitis
Phase 2b Trial. In July 2014, we and Sanofi announced positive results from a Phase 2b dose-ranging study of dupilumab in adult patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. All doses of dupilumab met the primary endpoint of a greater improvement in Eczema Severe Score Index (EASI) scores from baseline compared to placebo. In the Phase 2b trial, all five subcutaneous doses of dupilumab showed a dose-dependent improvement in the primary endpoint, the mean percent change in EASI score from baseline to week 16. The improvements in EASI score ranged from a high of 74% for patients in the highest dose group, who received 300 mg weekly, to a low of 45% in patients who received the lowest dose of 100 mg monthly, compared to 18% for patients in the placebo group (p<0.0001 for all doses). The most common AE in the Phase 2b study was nasopharyngitis, which was balanced across dupilumab treatment groups (18.5% to 23%) compared to placebo (21%). Injection site reactions were more frequent in the dupilumab group (5% to 9.5%) compared to placebo (3%), as was headache (12% to 15%) compared to placebo (8%).
Dupilumab-treated patients showed highly statistically significant and dose-dependent improvements in additional key efficacy measures compared to placebo after 16 weeks of treatment:
12% to 33% of dupilumab-treated patients achieved clearing or near-clearing of skin lesions, as measured by an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1, compared to 2% with placebo (p=0.02 to p<0.0001).
Dupilumab-treated patients experienced a 16.5% to 47% mean reduction in itching, as measured by the pruritus numerical-rating scale (NRS) score, compared to an increase of 5% in the placebo group (p=0.0005 to p<0.0001).
This Phase 2b double-blind, placebo-controlled, 16-week, dose-ranging study randomized 380 patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis, who could not be adequately controlled with topical medication or for whom topical treatment was not advisable. Patients were randomized to receive one of five doses of dupilumab (300 mg weekly, 300 mg every other week, 300 mg monthly, 200 mg every other week, 100 mg monthly) or placebo. Patients in the study had approximately 50% of their skin affected by

atopic dermatitis at baseline. In the year preceding enrollment in the study, approximately 35% of patients received an oral corticosteroid and approximately 20% received a systemic non-steroid immunosuppressant for atopic dermatitis. Approximately 60% of patients had another allergic condition, including approximately 40% of patients who had a history of asthma.
Phase 3 Study. In the fourth quarter of 2014, four Phase 3 trials in atopic dermatitis, LIBERTY AD CHRONOS, LIBERTY AD SOLO 1, LIBERTY AD SOLO 2, and LIBERTY AD Open label Extension, were initiated. Enrollment has been completed in the LIBERTY AD CHRONOS, LIBERTY AD SOLO 1 and LIBERTY AD SOLO 2 pivotal trials. LIBERTY AD CHRONOS is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-national study with the primary objective of demonstrating the efficacy of dupilumab in adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis when administered concomitantly with topical corticosteroids through 16 weeks. Secondary objectives of the LIBERTY AD CHRONOS trial will evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of dupilumab up to 52 weeks. The LIBERTY AD Phase 3 clinical program will consist of patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis at sites worldwide.
In November 2014, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy designation to dupilumab for the treatment of adults with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis who are not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapy and/or for whom these treatments are not appropriate. This designation is based on positive results from Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials, and the determination that atopic dermatitis is a serious disease and preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies.
Phase 2 Trial in Adolescents and Children. In March 2015, a Phase 2 pharmacokinetic and safety study in adolescents and children (6-17 years of age) with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis was initiated and is fully enrolled.
Asthma
Phase 2b Study. In May 2015, we and Sanofi presented positive results from an interim analysis of a pivotal Phase 2b study of dupilumab in adult patients with moderate-to-severe asthma, who are uncontrolled despite treatment with inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta agonists (ICS/LABA), at the American Thoracic Society 2015 International Conference. As previously reported in 2014, the study met its primary endpoint of improving lung function in asthma patients with high blood eosinophil counts ((HEos), greater than or equal to 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter). New data presented on secondary endpoints at the American Thoracic Society 2015 International Conference included positive results in study patients with low blood eosinophil counts ((LEos), less than 300 eosinophilic cells/microliter), who are thought to be less likely to suffer from "allergic" asthma and thus less likely to respond to Type 2 helper T-cell (TH2) targeted therapies. Based on discussions with the FDA, this Phase 2b study may be considered one of two pivotal efficacy studies required for a potential dupilumab BLA in asthma.
The results presented in May 2015 focused on LEos asthma patients. In this population, patients treated every other week with either 200 mg or 300 mg doses of dupilumab showed a greater than 8% improvement in forced expiratory volume over one second ((FEV1), a standard measure of lung function) at week 12 (p<0.001), in comparison to placebo, both in combination with ICS/LABA. Additionally, the 200 mg and 300 mg every other week doses of dupilumab in combination with ICS/LABA showed 68% and 62% reductions, respectively, in adjusted annualized rate of severe exacerbations in the LEos population (p<0.01 and p<0.05), in comparison to placebo in combination with ICS/LABA. These results are consistent with previously reported positive results in HEos asthma patients and the overall patient population, in which the two every other week doses (200 mg and 300 mg) of dupilumab in combination with ICS/LABA demonstrated a statistically significant 12% to 15% improvement in FEV1 over placebo at week 12 and a 64% to 75% improvement in annualized rate of severe exacerbations over placebo. Dupilumab also significantly reduced mean fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) across both every other week doses tested (200 mg and 300 mg) and the three patient populations (overall, LEos and HEos), in a roughly dose-dependent manner. FeNO is recommended by the American Thoracic Society clinical practice guidelines to assess airway inflammation, since higher-than-normal levels of nitric oxide may be released when a patient has a chronic airway disease, such as asthma.
The most common AE was injection site reaction, which was more frequent in the dupilumab dose groups (13% to 25%) compared to placebo (12%). Other common AEs in the study included upper respiratory tract infection (10% to 13% dupilumab; 13% placebo), headache (5% to 10% dupilumab; 8% placebo), nasopharyngitis (3% to 10% dupilumab; 6% placebo) and bronchitis (5% to 8% dupilumab; 8% placebo). The incidence of infections was balanced across treatment groups (42% to 45% dupilumab; 46% placebo), as was the incidence of serious AEs (3% to 7% dupilumab; 5% placebo).
These results were based on a pre-specified interim analysis, which occurred when all patients had reached week 12 of the 24-week treatment period; the average treatment duration at the time of the analysis was 21.4 weeks. The primary endpoint of the study was improvement from baseline in FEV1 at week 12 in the HEos group. Final analyses on exacerbations and safety will be conducted after 24 weeks of treatment and a 16-week follow-up period.
Phase 3 Study. A Phase 3 trial, LIBERTY ASTHMA QUEST, in patients with uncontrolled persistent asthma was initiated in the second quarter of 2015. LIBERTY ASTHMA QUEST is expected to serve as the second required pivotal efficacy study, since, based on discussions with the FDA, the Phase 2b study will also be considered a pivotal efficacy study. The global, placebo-

controlled Phase 3 study is expected to enroll more than 1,600 patients with uncontrolled persistent asthma and will evaluate two doses of dupilumab, 200 mg and 300 mg, subcutaneously administered every other week.
Nasal Polyposis
Phase 2 Trial. In 2013, a Phase 2 trial in NPwCS was initiated. In September 2014, we and Sanofi announced positive results from the Phase 2 proof-of-concept study of dupilumab in patients with moderate-to-severe NPwCS who did not respond to intranasal corticosteroids. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study enrolled 60 adult patients with moderate-to-severe NPwCS. Patients in the study received 300 mg of dupilumab or placebo administered once per week subcutaneously for 16 weeks, following an initial loading dose of 600 mg. All patients in the study also received a standard-of-care nasal corticosteroid spray. Patients were eligible for the study if they continued to have severe NPwCS despite standard treatment for at least one month. Fifty percent of patients in the study had received prior surgery for their condition. Asthma was also present in 58 percent of NPwCS patients in the study. The conditions are often co-morbid and symptoms/exacerbations are frequently interdependent.
In the study, dupilumab resulted in a statistically-significant improvement in the size of nasal polyps, as measured by endoscopic Nasal Polyp Score (NPS), the primary endpoint of the study. Statistically significant improvements in all secondary efficacy endpoints were also observed, including objective measures of sinusitis by CT scan, nasal air flow, and patient-reported symptoms (sense of smell, congestion, postnasal drip, runny nose and sleep disturbance). In a pre-specified exploratory analysis, dupilumab-treated patients who also had asthma demonstrated significant improvements in asthma control. The safety profile was consistent with previous studies. The most common AEs with dupilumab were injection site reactions, nasopharyngitis, oropharyngeal pain, epistaxis, headache, and dizziness.
Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Phase 2 Trial. A Phase 2 trial of dupilumab in eosinophilic esophagitis was initiated in the first quarter of 2015. EoE is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease that is considered a major cause of gastrointestinal illness. Eosinophils are a type of white blood cell that, due to allergens, can accumulate in the esophagus, causing inflammation and tissue injuries that create difficulty swallowing. People with eosinophilic esophagitis may also have allergies, asthma, atopic dermatitis, or chronic respiratory disease. 
REGN2222 (RSV-F Antibody) for RSV
Overview
Respiratory Syncytial Virus, or RSV, is a virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages. It is the most common cause of bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small airways) and is the second most common cause of death, globally, in the first year of life. RSV results in a significant healthcare burden, as it is the leading cause of infant hospitalizations in the United States. In addition to hospitalizations, RSV frequently results in emergency department, urgent care, and physicians’ office visits. It is estimated that about half of all children will have an RSV infection by their first birthday. REGN2222 is a fully human monoclonal antibody to the RSV-F protein. REGN2222 was generated using our VelocImmune technology.
Clinical Program
Based on clinical results from a Phase 1 study, and following discussions with the FDA, REGN2222 entered into a Phase 3 pivotal clinical study (NURSERY Pre-Term) in the third quarter of 2015. NURSERY Pre-Term is a two part study, and Part A is currently enrolling patients in the Southern hemisphere. Part A is an open-label pharmacokeninetic study, which is designed to enable dose selection for Part B; Part B is expected to commence later this year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Fasinumab (REGN475; NGF Antibody) for pain due to osteoarthritis
Overview
Persistent osteoarthritic pain represents a growing unmet medical need. Pain is a frequent reason for physician visits, a common reason for taking prescription medications, and a major cause of work disability and impaired quality of life. Targeting NGF is a potential advance in pain management. NGF expression is elevated in many acute and chronic painful conditions and NGF blockade has demonstrated efficacy in various animal models of pain. Fasinumab is a fully human monoclonal antibody to NGF, generated using our VelocImmune technology.
Clinical Program
A Phase 2b/3 clinical study in patients with pain due to osteoarthritis was initiated in the second quarter of 2015. Fasinumab is currently on partial clinical hold by the FDA, limiting duration of trials in osteoarthritis to 16 weeks.

Research Programs
Our preclinical research programs include the areas of oncology/immuno-oncology, angiogenesis, ophthalmology, metabolic and related diseases, muscle diseases and disorders, inflammation and immune diseases, bone and cartilage, pain and neurobiology, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases.
In September 2015, we and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) entered into an agreement to develop, test, and manufacture a monoclonal antibody therapy for the treatment of Ebola virus infection. HHS will provide initial funding of approximately $17.0 million to support our preclinical development and antibody manufacturing. HHS also has the option to provide for up to an additional $32.2 million for a Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, and further manufacturing and development studies.
Research and Development Technologies
Many proteins that are either on the surface of or secreted by cells play important roles in biology and disease. One way that a cell communicates with other cells is by releasing specific signaling proteins, either locally or into the bloodstream. These proteins have distinct functions and are classified into different "families" of molecules, such as peptide hormones, growth factors, and cytokines. All of these secreted (or signaling) proteins travel to and are recognized by another set of proteins, called "receptors," which reside on the surface of responding cells. These secreted proteins impact many critical cellular and biological processes, causing diverse effects ranging from the regulation of growth of particular cell types to inflammation mediated by white blood cells. Secreted proteins can at times be overactive and thus result in a variety of diseases. In these disease settings, blocking the action of specific secreted proteins can have clinical benefit. In other cases, proteins on the cell-surface can mediate the interaction between cells, such as the processes that give rise to inflammation and autoimmunity.
Our scientists have developed two different technologies to design protein therapeutics to block the action of specific cell surface or secreted proteins. The first technology, termed the "Trap" technology, was used to generate EYLEA, ZALTRAP, and ARCALYST. These novel "Traps" are composed of fusions between two distinct receptor components and the constant region of an antibody molecule called the "Fc region," resulting in high affinity product candidates. VelociSuite is our second technology platform; it is used for discovering, developing, and producing fully human monoclonal antibodies that can address both secreted and cell-surface targets.
VelociSuite. VelociSuite consists of VelocImmune, VelociGene, VelociMouse®, and VelociMab. The VelocImmune mouse platform is utilized to produce fully human monoclonal antibodies. VelocImmune was generated by exploiting our VelociGene technology (see below), in a process in which six megabases of mouse immune gene loci were replaced, or "humanized," with corresponding human immune gene loci. VelocImmune mice can be used to generate efficiently fully human monoclonal antibodies to targets of therapeutic interest. VelocImmune and our entire VelociSuite offer the potential to increase the speed and efficiency through which human monoclonal antibody therapeutics may be discovered and validated, thereby improving the overall efficiency of our early stage drug development activities. We are utilizing the VelocImmune technology to produce our next generation of drug candidates for preclinical and clinical development.
Our VelociGene platform allows custom and precise manipulation of very large sequences of DNA to produce highly customized alterations of a specified target gene, or genes, and accelerates the production of knock-out and transgenic expression models without using either positive/negative selection or isogenic DNA. In producing knock-out models, a color or fluorescent marker may be substituted in place of the actual gene sequence, allowing for high-resolution visualization of precisely where the gene is active in the body during normal body functioning as well as in disease processes. For the optimization of preclinical development and pharmacology programs, VelociGene offers the opportunity to humanize targets by replacing the mouse gene with the human homolog. Thus, VelociGene allows scientists to rapidly identify the physical and biological effects of deleting or over-expressing the target gene, as well as to characterize and test potential therapeutic molecules.
Our VelociMouse technology platform allows for the direct and immediate generation of genetically altered mice from embryonic stem cells (ES cells), thereby avoiding the lengthy process involved in generating and breeding knockout mice from chimeras. Mice generated through this method are normal and healthy and exhibit a 100% germ-line transmission. Furthermore, mice developed using our VelociMouse technology are suitable for direct phenotyping or other studies. We have also developed our VelociMab platform for the rapid screening of antibodies and rapid generation of expression cell lines for our Traps and our VelocImmune human monoclonal antibodies.
We have utilized our VelociSuite technologies to develop a class of potential drug candidates, known as bi-specific antibodies. In the area of immunotherapies in oncology, we are exploring the use of bi-specific antibodies that target tumor antigens and the CD3 receptor on T-cells to harness the oncolytic properties of T-cells. Our first such bi-specific antibody, which entered into clinical development in 2014, targets CD20 and CD3.

Regeneron Genetics Center. In 2014, we launched a new human genetics initiative via a wholly owned subsidiary, Regeneron Genetics Center LLC. RGC leverages de-identified clinical and molecular data from human volunteers for medically relevant associations in a blinded fashion designed to preserve patients' privacy. The objective of RGC is to expand the use of human genetics for discovering and validating genetic factors that cause or influence a range of diseases where there are major unmet medical needs, with the prospect of improving the drug discovery and development process. RGC is undertaking both large population-based efforts as well as family- and founder-based approaches. RGC utilizes laboratory automation and an innovative approach to cloud computing to achieve high-quality throughput at a rate that exceeds 70,000 unique samples per year.
Central to the work of RGC is a collaboration with the Geisinger Health System of Pennsylvania. During the initial five-year collaboration term, Geisinger plans to collect samples from more than 100,000 consented patient volunteers, while RGC will perform sequencing and genotyping to generate de-identified genomic data. RGC has expanded on its foundational population-based collaboration with Geisinger with a number of other institutions, including Columbia University Medical Center, the Clinic for Special Children, Baylor College of Medicine, and SickKids in Toronto.  
Collaboration Agreements
Collaborations with Sanofi
Antibodies. Since November 2007, we and Sanofi have been parties to a global, strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize fully human monoclonal antibodies. The collaboration is governed by a Discovery and Preclinical Development Agreement (Antibody Discovery Agreement) and a License and Collaboration Agreement (each as amended), collectively referred to as the Antibody Collaboration. Pursuant to the collaboration, Sanofi was responsible for funding up to $160.0 million per year of our antibody discovery activities over the period from 2010-2014, and, as amended in connection with the companies' July 2015 immuno-oncology collaboration as described below, is funding up to $145.0 million in 2015, and up to $130.0 million in each of 2016 and 2017 to identify and validate potential drug discovery targets and develop fully human monoclonal antibodies against these targets. Our discovery activities to identify and validate potential drug discovery targets in the field of immuno-oncology and develop fully human monoclonal antibodies against these targets will now be funded by Sanofi under the terms of the companies’ new immuno-oncology collaboration. We lead the design and conduct of research activities under the Antibody Discovery Agreement, including target identification and validation, antibody development, research and preclinical activities through filing of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) or its equivalent, toxicology studies, and manufacture of preclinical and clinical supplies. Sanofi has an option to extend certain antibody development and preclinical activities relating to selected program targets for up to an additional three years after 2017.
For each drug candidate identified through discovery research under the Antibody Discovery Agreement, Sanofi has the option to license rights to the candidate under the License and Collaboration Agreement. If it elects to do so, Sanofi will co-develop the drug candidate with us through product approval. Development costs for the drug candidate are shared between the companies, with Sanofi generally funding these costs up front, except that following receipt of the first positive Phase 3 trial results for a co-developed drug candidate, subsequent Phase 3 trial-related costs for that drug candidate are shared 80% by Sanofi and 20% by us. We are generally responsible for reimbursing Sanofi for half of the total development costs for all collaboration antibody products from our share of profits from commercialization of collaboration products to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. However, we are not required to apply more than 10% of our share of the profits from collaboration products in any calendar quarter towards reimbursing Sanofi for these development costs.
Under our collaboration agreement, Sanofi will record product sales and cost of sales for commercialized products, and Regeneron has the right to co-promote such products. We have exercised our option to co-promote Praluent in the United States. We have not exercised our option to co-promote Praluent outside the United States; however, we retain the right to do so at a future date subject to the terms of the collaboration agreement. We and Sanofi will equally share profits and losses from sales within the United States. We and Sanofi will share profits outside the United States on a sliding scale based on sales starting at 65% (Sanofi)/35% (us) and ending at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us), and will share losses outside the United States at 55% (Sanofi)/45% (us). In addition to profit sharing, we are entitled to receive up to $250.0 million in sales milestone payments, with milestone payments commencing after aggregate annual sales outside the United States exceed $1.0 billion on a rolling 12-month basis.
Immuno-Oncology. In July 2015, we and Sanofi entered into a global strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (the IO Collaboration). The IO Collaboration is governed by an Immuno-oncology Discovery and Development Agreement (IO Discovery Agreement), and an Immuno-oncology License and Collaboration Agreement (IO License and Collaboration Agreement). In connection with the IO Discovery Agreement, Sanofi made a $265.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to us. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, we will spend up to $1,090.0 million (IO Discovery Budget) to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop therapeutic antibodies against such targets through clinical proof-of-concept. Sanofi will reimburse us for up to $825.0 million (IO Discovery Funding) of these costs, subject to certain annual limits, which consists of (i) $750.0 million in new funding and (ii) $75.0 million of funding that would have otherwise been available to Regeneron under the existing Antibody Discovery

Table of Contents

Agreement, as described above. The term of the IO Discovery Agreement will continue through the later of five years from the effective date of the IO Collaboration or the date the IO Discovery Budget is exhausted, subject to Sanofi’s option to extend it for up to an additional three years for the continued development (and funding) of selected ongoing programs. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, we will be primarily responsible for the design and conduct of all research activities, including target identification and validation, antibody development, preclinical activities, toxicology studies, manufacture of preclinical and clinical supplies, filing of IND Applications, and clinical development through proof-of-concept. We will reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs they funded that are attributable to clinical development of antibody product candidates under the IO Discovery Agreement from our share of future profits, if any, from commercialized products to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. However, we are not required to apply more than 10% of our share of the profits from IO Collaboration products in any calendar quarter towards reimbursing Sanofi for these development costs. With regard to product candidates for which proof-of-concept is established, Sanofi will have the option to license rights to the product candidate pursuant to the IO License and Collaboration Agreement (as further described below). If Sanofi does not exercise its option to license rights to a product candidate, we will retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize such product candidate and Sanofi will be entitled to receive a royalty on sales.
In connection with the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi made a $375.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to us. If Sanofi exercises its option to license rights to a product candidate thereunder, it will co-develop the drug candidate with us through product approval. Principal control of development of each product candidate that enters development under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement will alternate between us and Sanofi on a candidate-by-candidate basis. Sanofi will fund drug candidate development costs up front for the candidates for which it is the principal controlling party and we will reimburse half of the total development costs for all such candidates from our share of future profits to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose, subject to the same 10% reimbursement limitation described above. In addition, we and Sanofi will share equally, on an ongoing basis, the development costs for the drug candidates for which we are the principal controlling party. The party having principal control over the development of a product candidate will also lead the commercialization activities for such product candidate in the United States. For all products commercialized under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States. Each party will have the right to co-promote licensed products in countries where it is not the lead commercialization party. The parties will share equally in any profits from worldwide sales of collaboration products. We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical requirements of each drug candidate under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement until commercial supplies of that IO drug candidate are being manufactured.
Under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties will also co-develop our antibody product candidate targeting PD-1 (REGN2810). The parties will share equally, on an ongoing basis, development expenses for REGN2810 up to a total of $650.0 million. We will have principal control over the development of REGN2810 and will lead commercialization activities in the United States, subject to Sanofi’s right to co-promote, while Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States and the parties will equally share profits from worldwide sales. We will be entitled to a milestone payment of $375.0 million in the event that sales of all licensed products targeting PD-1 (including REGN2810), together with sales of any other products licensed under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement and sold for use in combination with a licensed product targeting PD-1, equal or exceed $2.0 billion in any consecutive twelve-month period.
With respect to each product candidate that enters development under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, we or Sanofi may, by giving twelve months’ notice, opt-out of further development and/or commercialization of the product, in which event the other party will retain exclusive rights to continue the development and/or commercialization of such product.
ZALTRAP. Since September 2003, we and Sanofi have been parties to a global collaboration (ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement) for the development and commercialization of ZALTRAP. In February 2015, we and Sanofi entered into an Amended ZALTRAP Agreement. Under the terms of the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement, Sanofi is solely responsible for the development and commercialization of ZALTRAP for cancer indications worldwide. Sanofi bears the cost of all development and commercialization activities and reimburses Regeneron for its costs for any such activities. Sanofi pays us a percentage of aggregate net sales of ZALTRAP during each calendar year, which percentage shall be from 15% to 30%, depending on the aggregate net sales of ZALTRAP in such calendar year. We will also be paid for all quantities of ZALTRAP manufactured by us pursuant to a supply agreement through the earlier of 2021 or the date Sanofi receives regulatory approval to manufacture ZALTRAP at one of its facilities or a facility of a third party. In addition, Regeneron no longer has a contingent contractual obligation (which was approximately $461 million at December 31, 2014) to reimburse Sanofi for 50% of the development expenses that Sanofi previously funded for the development of ZALTRAP under the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement.

Collaborations with Bayer HealthCare
EYLEA outside the United States. Since October 2006, we and Bayer HealthCare have been parties to a license and collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization outside the United States of EYLEA. Under the agreement, we and Bayer HealthCare collaborate on, and share the costs of, the development of EYLEA through an integrated global plan. Bayer HealthCare markets EYLEA outside the United States, where, for countries other than Japan, the companies share equally in profits and losses from sales of EYLEA. In Japan, we are entitled to receive a tiered percentage of between 33.5% and 40.0% of EYLEA net sales.
Since inception of the agreement, we have earned $110.0 million of development milestone payments and $165.0 million of sales milestone payments from Bayer HealthCare. During the first quarter of 2015, we earned the final potential milestone payment under our Bayer HealthCare collaboration agreement in connection with EYLEA outside the United States.
Commencing with the first commercial sale of EYLEA in a major market country outside the United States, we became obligated to reimburse Bayer HealthCare for 50% of the development costs that it has incurred under the agreement from our share of the collaboration profits (including payments to us based on sales in Japan). The reimbursement payment in any quarter will equal 5% of the then outstanding repayment obligation, but never more than our share of the collaboration profits in the quarter unless we elect to reimburse Bayer HealthCare at a faster rate. As a result, we expect that a portion of our share of EYLEA profits outside the United States will be used to reimburse Bayer HealthCare for this repayment obligation.
Within the United States, we retain exclusive commercialization rights to EYLEA and are entitled to all profits from any such sales.
PDGFR-beta antibody outside the United States. In January 2014, we entered into an agreement with Bayer HealthCare governing the joint development and commercialization outside the United States of an antibody product candidate to PDGFR-beta, including in combination with EYLEA, for the treatment of ocular diseases or disorders. REGN2176-3, a combination product candidate comprised of an antibody to PDGFR-beta co-formulated with EYLEA, is being developed under the agreement. Under the agreement, we will conduct the initial development of the PDGFR-beta antibody through completion of the first proof-of-concept study, upon which Bayer HealthCare will have a right to opt-in to license and collaborate on further development and commercialization outside the United States.
In connection with the agreement, Bayer HealthCare made a $25.5 million non-refundable upfront payment to us in January 2014, and is obligated to pay 25% of global development costs and 50% of development costs exclusively for the territory outside the United States under the initial development plan. In addition, Bayer HealthCare is obligated to reimburse us for 50% of development milestone payments to Sanofi related to our acquisition of rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF family of receptors in May 2013. In that regard, Bayer HealthCare made two $2.5 million development milestone payments to us in the 2014, and an additional $5.0 million development milestone payment to us in the second quarter of 2015. Further, in connection with our initial development of the PDGFR-beta antibody through completion of the first proof-of-concept study, we are eligible to receive up to $10.0 million in future development milestone payments from Bayer HealthCare, although certain of these development milestone payments could be reduced by half if Bayer HealthCare does not opt-in to the collaboration.
If Bayer HealthCare exercises its right to opt-in to the collaboration, they will obtain exclusive commercialization rights to the product outside the United States, continue to pay for 25% of global development costs and 50% of development costs exclusively for the territory outside the United States, pay a $20.0 million opt-in payment to us, pay a $20.0 million development milestone to us upon receipt of the first marketing approval in the EU or Japan, share profits and losses from sales outside the United States equally with us, and be responsible for the payment of royalties on sales outside the United States to Sanofi.
Within the United States, we have exclusive commercialization rights and will retain all of the profits from sales. If Bayer HealthCare does not opt-in to the collaboration, we will have exclusive rights to develop and commercialize PDGFR-beta antibodies (except as a combination product with EYLEA) for use outside the United States.
We also have the right to opt-out of the collaboration upon completion of the first proof-of-concept study for the PDGFR-beta antibody. If we opt-out of the collaboration and Bayer HealthCare exercises its right to opt-in to the collaboration, Bayer HealthCare will obtain exclusive rights to the PDGFR-beta antibody (except as a combination product with EYLEA) outside of the United States, be responsible for all development costs outside of the United States, be responsible for all royalty and milestone payments to a third party, and will retain all of the profits from sales of the PDGFR-beta antibody outside of the United States.
Collaboration with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
Fasinumab Asia. In September 2015, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation (MTPC) providing MTPC with development and commercial rights to fasinumab in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka (the MTPC Territories). In connection with

39


Table of Contents

the agreement, MTPC made a $10.0 million non-refundable upfront payment, and we are entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $215.0 million in development milestone and other contingent payments.
Under the agreement, we are obligated to manufacture and supply MTPC with clinical and commercial supplies of fasinumab. If fasinumab is commercialized in the MTPC Territories, we will supply the product to MTPC at a tiered purchase price, which ranges from 30% to 50% of net sales of the product (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and are eligible for additional payments up to an aggregate of $100.0 million upon the achievement of specified annual net sales amounts starting at $200 million.
Unless terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions, the agreement will continue to be in effect until such time as MTPC has ceased developing or commercializing fasinumab in the MTPC Territories.
General
Developing and commercializing new medicines entails significant risk and expense. Before significant revenues from the commercialization of our antibody candidates or new indications for our marketed products can be realized, we (or our collaborators) must overcome a number of hurdles which include successfully completing research and development and obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA and regulatory authorities in other countries. In addition, the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are rapidly evolving and highly competitive, and new developments may render our products and technologies uncompetitive or obsolete.
Our ability to continue to generate profits and to generate positive cash flow from operations over the next several years depends significantly on our continued success in commercializing EYLEA. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses related to our research and development activities, a significant portion of which we expect to be reimbursed by our collaborators. Also, our research and development activities outside our collaborations, the costs of which are not reimbursed, will expand and require additional resources. We also expect to incur substantial costs related to the commercialization of Praluent and preparation for potential commercialization of our late-stage antibody product candidates, approximately half of which we expect to be reimbursed by Sanofi under the companies' collaboration agreement. Our operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and will depend on, among other factors, the net sales of our marketed products, the scope and progress of our research and development efforts, the timing of certain expenses, and the continuation of our collaborations, in particular with Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare, including our share of collaboration profits or losses from sales of commercialized products and the amount of reimbursement of our research and development expenses that we receive from collaborators. We cannot predict whether or when new products or new indications for marketed products will receive regulatory approval or, if any such approval is received, whether we will be able to successfully commercialize such product(s) and whether or when they may become profitable.

In the third quarter of 2015, Sanofi's reimbursement of our antibody research and development expenses consisted of $42.5 million under our Antibody Discovery Agreement and $162.6 million under our License and Collaboration Agreement, compared to $47.9 million and $92.6 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2014. The higher reimbursement of research and development costs in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, was primarily due to increased development activities for dupilumab.
Reimbursement of Regeneron commercialization-related expenses represents reimbursement of internal and external costs in connection with commercialization of Praluent and sarilumab. Effective in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, we and Sanofi

Table of Contents

began sharing pre-launch commercial expenses related to Praluent and sarilumab, respectively, in accordance with the companies' License and Collaboration Agreement. Consequently, we began recording our share of losses in connection with commercialization of Praluent and sarilumab. Sanofi provides us with an estimate of our share of the profit or loss from commercialization of antibodies for the most recent fiscal quarter; these estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of the profit or loss is adjusted accordingly, as necessary.
Following the FDA approval in July 2015, sales of Praluent for the treatment of adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or clinical ASCVD, who require additional lowering of LDL cholesterol, commenced in the United States. Praluent net product sales, which are recorded by Sanofi, were $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. We and Sanofi incurred higher commercialization expenses for Praluent primarily in connection with launching the product in the United States.
Other Sanofi antibody revenue includes recognition of deferred revenue from an $85.0 million up-front payment and other payments. As of September 30, 2015, $64.9 million of the up-front and other payments was deferred and will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
In July 2015, we and Sanofi entered into a global strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (as described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaboration with Sanofi - Immuno-Oncology"). In the third quarter of 2015, Sanofi's reimbursement of our immuno-oncology research and development expenses consisted of $12.8 million under our IO Discovery Agreement and $5.8 million under our IO License and Collaboration Agreement.
Other Sanofi immuno-oncology revenue includes recognition of deferred revenue from $640.0 million of up-front payments received in the third quarter of 2015 in connection with the execution of the IO Collaboration agreements. As of September 30, 2015, $620.0 million of the up-front payments was deferred and will be recognized ratably as revenue in future periods.
In September 2003, we and Sanofi entered into a ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement to jointly develop and commercialize ZALTRAP. Under the terms of ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement, we and Sanofi shared profits and losses on sales of ZALTRAP outside of Japan, and we were entitled to receive a percentage of sales of ZALTRAP in Japan. Our share of the loss in connection with the commercialization of ZALTRAP in the third quarter of 2014 represents our share of the costs of launching and commercializing ZALTRAP, partly offset by net product sales. As described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Sanofi - ZALTRAP" and below in the "Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014" section, in February 2015, we entered into an Amended ZALTRAP Agreement with Sanofi which amended and restated the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement.

Bayer HealthCare records revenue from sales of EYLEA outside the United States. Bayer HealthCare provides us with an estimate of our share of the profit or loss, including the percentage of sales in Japan that we earned, from commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States for the most recent fiscal quarter; these estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of the profit or loss is adjusted accordingly, as necessary. In the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, our share of the profit we earned from commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States was partly offset by our contractual obligation to reimburse Bayer HealthCare for a portion of the agreed-upon development expenses previously incurred by Bayer HealthCare.
In the third quarter of 2014, we earned two $15.0 million sales milestone payment from Bayer HealthCare upon total aggregate net sales of EYLEA outside the United States exceeding $800 million and $900 million, respectively, over a twelve-month period.
Other EYLEA revenue primarily consists of reimbursement of other Regeneron EYLEA expenses, principally related to Bayer HealthCare's share of royalties payable to Genentech pursuant to a license and settlement agreement in connection with sales of EYLEA outside the United States and reimbursements for producing EYLEA commercial supplies for Bayer HealthCare. In addition, other EYLEA revenue includes recognition of deferred revenue related to EYLEA up-front and 2007 non-substantive milestone payments from Bayer HealthCare. As of September 30, 2015, $11.8 million of the EYLEA up-front and 2007 milestone payments was deferred and will be recognized ratably as revenue in future periods.
Cost-sharing of REGN2176-3 development expenses with Bayer HealthCare commenced in the first quarter of 2014 following the execution of the companies' PDGFR-beta antibody collaboration agreement as described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Bayer HealthCare - PDGFR-beta antibody outside the United States." Other PDGFR-beta antibody revenue consists of recognition of deferred revenue related to the PDGFR-beta up-front payment and non-substantive milestones received in the first quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2015, $12.1 million of the PDGFR-beta up-front and 2014 milestone payments was deferred and will be recognized ratably as revenue in future periods.
Technology Licensing and Other Revenue
In connection with the amendment and extension of our VelocImmune license agreement with Astellas, in August 2010, we received a $165.0 million up-front payment, which was deferred upon receipt and is being recognized as revenue ratably over a seven-year period beginning in June 2011. In the third quarter of both 2015 and 2014, we recognized $5.9 million of revenue related to this agreement. As of September 30, 2015, $63.3 million of the August 2010 technology licensing payment received from Astellas was deferred and will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
In connection with the February 2015 Amended ZALTRAP Agreement with Sanofi, we recorded $9.0 million of revenue in the third quarter of 2015 primarily related to manufacturing ZALTRAP commercial supplies for Sanofi and the percentage of net sales of ZALTRAP Sanofi is obligated to pay us.
In addition, under a June 2009 agreement with Novartis, we receive royalties on worldwide sales of Novartis' Ilaris (canakinumab). In the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, technology licensing and other revenue included $2.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of royalties from Novartis.

Expenses
Total operating expenses increased to $745.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $537.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. Our average headcount in the third quarter of 2015 increased to 3,966 from 2,714 in the same period in 2014, principally in connection with expanding our research and development and commercialization activities.
Operating expenses in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 included a total of $102.6 million and $68.1 million, respectively, of non-cash compensation expense related to employee stock option and restricted stock awards (Non-cash Compensation Expense). The increase in total Non-cash Compensation Expense in the third quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to the higher fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of our annual employee option grants made in December 2014 compared to recent prior years.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased to $425.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $337.7 million in the same period of 2014. The following table summarizes the major categories of our research and development expenses:

(1) Includes Non-cash Compensation Expense of $52.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $39.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
(2) Represents the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research, preclinical development, and clinical trials, including related payroll and benefits, Non-cash Compensation Expense, manufacturing materials and supplies, drug filling, packaging, and labeling costs, depreciation, and occupancy costs of our Rensselaer manufacturing facility. Also includes Non-cash Compensation Expense of $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
(3) Under our collaborations with Bayer HealthCare and Sanofi, in periods when Bayer HealthCare or Sanofi incurs certain development expenses, we also recognize, as additional research and development expense, the portion of our collaborators' development expenses that we are obligated to reimburse. Our collaborators provide us with estimated development expenses for the most recent fiscal quarter. Bayer HealthCare and Sanofi’s estimates are reconciled to their actual expenses for such quarter in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of our collaborators' development expenses that we are obligated to reimburse is adjusted accordingly.
Payroll and benefits increased principally due to the increase in employee headcount and Non-cash Compensation Expense, as described above. Clinical trial expenses increased due primarily to additional costs for clinical studies of dupilumab and fasinumab, partly offset by lower REGN1033- and EYLEA-related costs. Clinical manufacturing costs increased primarily due to additional costs related to manufacturing drug supplies of dupilumab and sarilumab. Research and other development costs decreased primarily due to our 50% share ($33.8 million) of the cost of purchasing a FDA priority review voucher in the third quarter of 2014 for use with the Praluent BLA filing, partly offset by higher expenditures in connection with our expanded research activities.

Drug development and approval in the United States is a multi-step process regulated by the FDA. The process begins with discovery and preclinical evaluation, leading up to the submission of an IND to the FDA which, if successful, allows the opportunity for study in humans, or clinical study, of the potential new drug. Clinical development typically involves three phases of study: Phases 1, 2, and 3. The most significant costs in clinical development are in Phase 3 clinical trials, as they tend to be the longest and largest studies in the drug development process. Following successful completion of Phase 3 clinical trials for a biological product, a BLA must be submitted to, and accepted by, the FDA, and the FDA must approve the BLA prior to commercialization of the drug. It is not uncommon for the FDA to request additional data following its review of a BLA, which can significantly increase the drug development timeline and expenses. We may elect either on our own, or at the request of the FDA, to conduct further studies that are referred to as Phase 3b and 4 studies. Phase 3b studies are initiated and either completed or substantially completed while the BLA is under FDA review. These studies are conducted under an IND. Phase 4 studies, also referred to as post-marketing studies, are studies that are initiated and conducted after the FDA has approved a product for marketing. In addition, as discovery research, preclinical development, and clinical programs progress, opportunities to expand development of drug candidates into new disease indications can emerge. We may elect to add such new disease indications to our development efforts (with the approval of our collaborator for joint development programs), thereby extending the period in which we will be developing a product.
There are numerous uncertainties associated with drug development, including uncertainties related to safety and efficacy data from each phase of drug development, uncertainties related to the enrollment and performance of clinical trials, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in the competitive landscape affecting a product candidate, and other risks and uncertainties described in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors." The lengthy process of seeking FDA approvals, and subsequent compliance with applicable statutes and regulations, require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could materially adversely affect our business.
For these reasons and due to the variability in the costs necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product and the uncertainties related to future indications to be studied, the estimated cost and scope of the projects, and our ultimate ability to obtain governmental approval for commercialization, accurate and meaningful estimates of the total cost to bring our product candidates to market are not available. Similarly, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate if our product candidates in clinical development will generate material product revenues and net cash inflows.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $210.0 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $144.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to higher headcount and related costs, higher Non-cash Compensation Expense principally for the reason described under "Expenses" above and higher commercialization expenses related to Praluent, partly offset by lower costs associated with the Branded Prescription Drug Fee as described below. Selling, general, and administrative expenses included $36.5 million and $21.2 million of Non-cash Compensation Expense in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2014 included a $40.6 million incremental charge related to the Branded Prescription Drug Fee, which is a non-tax deductible annual fee (the Branded Prescription Drug Fee) imposed on

Table of Contents

pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell branded prescription drugs to specified government programs. In July 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations that provide guidance on the Branded Prescription Drug Fee. The final regulations differ in some respects from the temporary regulations previously issued by the IRS in 2011, including that a company is liable for the fee based on its branded prescription drug sales in the current year, instead of the liability only being applicable upon the first qualifying branded prescription drug sale of the following fee year under the temporary regulations. As a result of the issuance of these final IRS regulations, we began recording an estimate of the fee in the same period in which our qualifying branded prescription drug sales occur. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2014, an incremental charge was recorded to (i) recognize a liability for the estimated fee payable based on 2014 sales through the first nine months of 2014, and (ii) expense the remaining prepaid asset recorded under the previous accounting for the estimated fee payable based on 2013 sales.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $67.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 and $33.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Cost of goods sold primarily consists of royalties, as well as costs in connection with producing U.S. EYLEA commercial supplies and various start-up costs in connection with our Limerick, Ireland commercial manufacturing facility. Cost of goods sold increased principally due to the increase in U.S. EYLEA net product sales.
Cost of Collaboration and Contract Manufacturing
Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing, which includes costs we incur in connection with producing commercial drug supplies for Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare, increased to $41.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 from $21.9 million in the third quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to royalties payable to Genentech in connection with higher sales of EYLEA outside the United States, as well as the recognition of costs associated with commercial supplies of EYLEA manufactured for Bayer HealthCare.
Other Income and Expense
Total other income (net of other expenses) was $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2015 and total other expenses (net of other income) was $6.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Interest expense in the third quarter of 2015 decreased compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily due to conversions of a substantial principal amount of our 1.875% convertible senior notes (the Notes) since the third quarter of 2014.
Income Taxes
In the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, we recorded income tax expense of $182.9 million and $98.4 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 46.5% and 54.1% for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively. The third quarter 2015 effective tax rate was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by (i) losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, (ii) the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee, and (iii) expiration, at the end of 2014, of the federal tax credit for increased research activities. The negative impact of these items was partly offset by the positive impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2014 was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, the incremental charge related to the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee (as described above), and expiration at the end of 2013 of the federal tax credit for increased research activities.

In the first nine months of 2015, Sanofi's reimbursement of our antibody research and development expenses consisted of $145.0 million under our Antibody Discovery Agreement and $440.5 million under our License and Collaboration Agreement, compared to $131.0 million and $274.2 million, respectively, in the first nine months of 2014. The higher reimbursement of research and development costs in the first nine months of 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, was primarily due to increased research and pre-clinical activities under our Antibody Discovery Agreement and increased development activities for dupilumab, REGN2222, and Praluent.
Reimbursement of Regeneron commercialization-related expenses represents reimbursement of internal and external costs in connection with commercialization of Praluent and sarilumab. Effective in the second and fourth quarters of 2014, we and Sanofi began sharing pre-launch commercial expenses related to Praluent and sarilumab, respectively, in accordance with the companies' License and Collaboration Agreement (and, accordingly, we began recording our share of losses in connection with commercialization of Praluent and sarilumab). Sanofi provides us with an estimate of our share of the profit or loss from commercialization of antibodies for the most recent fiscal quarter; these estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of the profit or loss is adjusted accordingly, as necessary.
Following the FDA approval in July 2015, sales of Praluent for the treatment of adults with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia or clinical ASCVD, who require additional lowering of LDL cholesterol, commenced in the United States. Praluent net product sales, which are recorded by Sanofi, were $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. We and Sanofi incurred higher commercialization expenses for Praluent in the first nine months of 2015 primarily in connection with preparing for and launching the product in the United States.

Table of Contents

In July 2015, we and Sanofi entered into a global strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology (as described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaboration with Sanofi - Immuno-Oncology"). In the third quarter of 2015, Sanofi's reimbursement of our immuno-oncology research and development expenses consisted of $12.8 million under our IO Discovery Agreement and $5.8 million under our IO License and Collaboration Agreement.
Other Sanofi immuno-oncology revenue includes recognition of deferred revenue from $640.0 million of up-front payments received in the third quarter of 2015 in connection with the execution of the IO Collaboration agreements.
In September 2003, we and Sanofi entered into a ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement to jointly develop and commercialize ZALTRAP. Under the terms of ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement, we and Sanofi shared profits and losses on sales of ZALTRAP outside of Japan, and we were entitled to receive a percentage of sales of ZALTRAP in Japan. Our share of the loss in connection with the commercialization of ZALTRAP in the first nine months of 2014 represents our share of the costs of commercializing ZALTRAP, partly offset by net product sales.
As described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Sanofi - ZALTRAP," in February 2015, we entered into an Amended ZALTRAP Agreement with Sanofi which amended and restated the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement. As a result, in the first quarter of 2015 we recognized $14.9 million of previously deferred revenue under the ZALTRAP Collaboration Agreement, related to (i) amounts that were previously reimbursed by Sanofi for manufacturing commercial supplies of ZALTRAP since our risk of inventory loss under the collaboration no longer existed, and (ii) the unamortized portion of up-front payments from Sanofi as we had no further performance obligations.
Bayer HealthCare Collaboration Revenue

Bayer HealthCare records revenue from sales of EYLEA outside the United States. Bayer HealthCare provides us with an estimate of our share of the profit or loss, including the percentage of sales in Japan that we earned, from commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States for the most recent fiscal quarter; these estimates are reconciled to actual results in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of the profit or loss is adjusted accordingly, as necessary. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, our share of the profit we earned from commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States was partly offset by our contractual obligation to reimburse Bayer HealthCare for a portion of the agreed-upon development expenses previously incurred by Bayer HealthCare.
In the first nine months of 2015, we earned a $15.0 million sales milestone payment from Bayer HealthCare upon total aggregate net sales of specific commercial supplies of EYLEA outside the United States exceeding $200 million over a twelve-month period. In the first nine months of 2014, we earned five $15.0 million sales milestone payments from Bayer HealthCare upon total aggregate net sales of EYLEA outside the United States exceeding $500 million, $600 million, $700 million, $800 million, and $900 million, respectively, over a twelve-month period.
Cost-sharing of our global EYLEA development expenses with Bayer HealthCare decreased in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. In January 2014, Bayer HealthCare decided to participate in the global development and commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States for the treatment of macular edema following BRVO. In connection with this decision, Bayer HealthCare reimbursed us $15.7 million for a defined share of the EYLEA global development costs that we had incurred prior to February 2014 for the BRVO indication, which was recognized as Bayer HealthCare collaboration revenue in the first quarter of 2014. In addition, all future agreed-upon global EYLEA development expenses incurred in connection with BRVO are being shared equally, and any future profits or losses on sales of EYLEA outside of the United States for the treatment of macular edema following BRVO are also shared (for countries other than Japan). We are entitled to receive a tiered percentage of EYLEA net sales in Japan.
Other EYLEA revenue primarily consists of reimbursement of other Regeneron EYLEA expenses, principally related to Bayer HealthCare's share of royalties payable to Genentech pursuant to a license and settlement agreement in connection with sales of EYLEA outside the United States and reimbursements for producing EYLEA commercial supplies for Bayer HealthCare. In addition, other EYLEA revenue includes recognition of deferred revenue related to EYLEA up-front and 2007 non-substantive milestone payments from Bayer HealthCare.
Cost-sharing of REGN2176-3 development expenses with Bayer HealthCare commenced in the first quarter of 2014 following the execution of the companies' PDGFR-beta antibody collaboration agreement as described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Bayer HealthCare - PDGFR-beta antibody outside the United States." Bayer HealthCare is also obligated to reimburse us for 50% of development milestone payments to Sanofi related to our acquisition of rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF family of receptors in May 2013. In that regard, Bayer HealthCare made a $5.0 million development milestone payment to us in the second quarter of 2015, which was recognized as revenue in the second quarter and included in "Cost-sharing of REGN2176-3 development expenses" in the table above.
Technology Licensing and Other Revenue
In connection with the amendment and extension of our VelocImmune license agreement with Astellas, in August 2010, we received a $165.0 million up-front payment, which was deferred upon receipt and is being recognized as revenue ratably over a seven-year period beginning in June 2011. In the first nine months of both 2015 and 2014, we recognized $17.7 million of revenue related to this agreement.

In connection with the February 2015 Amended ZALTRAP Agreement with Sanofi, we recorded $32.0 million of revenue in the first nine months of 2015 primarily related to manufacturing ZALTRAP commercial supplies for Sanofi and a percentage of net sales of ZALTRAP from July 1, 2014 (the effective date of the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement) through September 30, 2015.
In addition, under a June 2009 agreement with Novartis, we receive royalties on worldwide sales of Novartis' Ilaris. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, technology licensing and other revenue included $7.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, of royalties from Novartis.
Expenses
Total operating expenses increased to $1,984.8 million in the first nine months of 2015 from $1,409.1 million in the first nine months of 2014. Our average headcount in the first nine months of 2015 increased to 3,535 from 2,551 in the same period in 2014, principally in connection with expanding our research and development and commercialization activities.
Operating expenses in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 included a total of $300.7 million and $208.7 million, respectively, of Non-cash Compensation Expense. The increase in total Non-cash Compensation Expense in the first nine months of 2015 was primarily attributable to the higher fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of our annual employee option grants made in December 2014 compared to recent prior years.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased to $1,159.4 million in the first nine months of 2015 from $919.6 million in the same period of 2014. The following table summarizes the major categories of our research and development expenses:

(1) Includes Non-cash Compensation Expense of $154.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $113.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
(2) Represents the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research, preclinical development, and clinical trials, as well as pre-launch commercial supplies which were not capitalized as inventory. Includes related payroll and benefits, Non-cash Compensation Expense, manufacturing materials and supplies, drug filling, packaging, and labeling costs, depreciation, and occupancy costs of our Rensselaer manufacturing facility. Also includes Non-cash Compensation Expense of $28.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
(3) Under our collaborations with Bayer HealthCare and Sanofi, in periods when Bayer HealthCare or Sanofi incurs certain development expenses, we also recognize, as additional research and development expense, the portion of our collaborators' development expenses that we are obligated to reimburse. Our collaborators provide us with estimated development expenses for the most recent fiscal quarter. Bayer HealthCare and Sanofi’s estimates are reconciled to their actual expenses for such quarter in the subsequent fiscal quarter, and our portion of our collaborators' development expenses that we are obligated to reimburse is adjusted accordingly.
Payroll and benefits increased principally due to the increase in employee headcount and Non-cash Compensation Expense, as described above. Clinical trial expenses increased primarily due to additional costs for clinical studies of dupilumab and fasinumab, partly offset by lower Praluent-, EYLEA-, and REGN1033-related costs. Clinical manufacturing costs increased primarily due to additional costs related to manufacturing drug supplies of dupilumab, Praluent, sarilumab, and, to a lesser extent, several other antibody product candidates.

For the reasons described above under "Research and Development Expenses" for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, and due to the variability in the costs necessary to develop a pharmaceutical product and the uncertainties related to future indications to be studied, the estimated cost and scope of the projects, and our ultimate ability to obtain governmental approval for commercialization, accurate and meaningful estimates of the total cost to bring our product candidates to market are not available. Similarly, we are currently unable to reasonably estimate if our product candidates in clinical development will generate material product revenues and net cash inflows.
Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased to $543.6 million in the first nine months of 2015 from $344.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to higher headcount and related costs, higher Non-cash Compensation Expense principally for the reason described under "Expenses" above, and higher commercialization-related expenses related to Praluent. Selling, general, and administrative expenses included $110.8 million and $73.6 million of Non-cash Compensation Expense in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $170.6 million in the first nine months of 2015 and $91.1 million in the first nine months of 2014. Cost of goods sold primarily consists of royalties, as well as costs in connection with producing U.S. EYLEA commercial supplies and various start-up costs in connection with our Limerick, Ireland commercial manufacturing facility. Cost of goods sold increased principally due to the increase in U.S. EYLEA net product sales. In addition, in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, cost of goods sold included inventory write-downs and reserves totaling $9.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively.
Cost of Collaboration and Contract Manufacturing
Cost of collaboration and contract manufacturing, which includes costs we incur in connection with producing commercial drug supplies for Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare, increased to $111.3 million in the first nine months of 2015 from $54.5 million in the first nine months of 2014. This increase was primarily due to the recognition of costs associated with commercial supplies of ZALTRAP, as well as royalties payable to Genentech in connection with higher sales of EYLEA outside the United States and the recognition of costs associated with commercial supplies of EYLEA manufactured for Bayer HealthCare. Under our collaboration arrangements, when the product is sold by our collaborators to third-party customers, our risk of inventory loss no longer exists, and we therefore recognize our related manufacturing costs for the sold product as cost of collaboration manufacturing. However, as described above, in February 2015, we entered into an Amended ZALTRAP Agreement with Sanofi. As a result, in the first quarter of 2015 we recognized as expense $20.2 million of previously inventoried costs for ZALTRAP commercial supplies that were shipped to Sanofi because our risk of inventory loss no longer exists under the Amended ZALTRAP Agreement.

Other Income and Expense
Total other expenses (net of other income) decreased to $23.0 million in the first nine months of 2015 from $36.6 million in the first nine months of 2014. Interest expense in the first nine months of 2015 decreased compared to the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to conversions of a substantial principal amount of our Notes since the third quarter of 2014. In addition, in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, we recognized a $16.9 million and a $10.8 million loss, respectively, in connection with Notes which were surrendered for conversion during the respective periods.
Income Taxes
In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, we recorded income tax expense of $516.7 million and $323.5 million, respectively. The effective tax rate was 51.8% for the first nine months of 2015 and 56.6% for the first nine months of 2014. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2015 was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by (i) losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, (ii) the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee, and (iii) expiration, at the end of 2014, of the federal tax credit for increased research activities. The negative impact of these items was partly offset by the positive impact of the domestic manufacturing deduction.
The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2014 was negatively impacted, compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate, by (i) losses incurred in foreign jurisdictions with rates lower than the federal statutory rate, (ii) expiration at the end of 2013 of the federal tax credit for increased research activities, (iii) the incremental charge related to the non-tax deductible Branded Prescription Drug Fee (as described above), and (iv) New York State tax legislation enacted in the first quarter of 2014. This tax legislation reduced the New York State income tax rate to zero percent for "qualified manufacturers," including Regeneron, effective in 2014; however, it also resulted in the reduction of our related deferred tax assets as a discrete item in the first quarter of 2014. As a result, this tax legislation caused a net increase in our effective tax rate by 2.2% for the first nine months of 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The sources and uses of cash discussion below reflects certain revisions to previously-issued financial statements. See Notes 1 and 4 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of such revisions.
Sources and Uses of Cash for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014
As of September 30, 2015, we had $1,577.0 million in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities compared with $1,360.6 million as of December 31, 2014. Additionally, as of September 30, 2015, we had borrowing availability of $750.0 million under a revolving credit facility that was entered into during the first quarter of 2015 (see further description under "Credit Facility" below).
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,049.0 million in the first nine months of 2015. Our net income of $481.1 million in the first nine months of 2015 included Non-cash Compensation Expense of $300.7 million and depreciation and amortization of $52.0 million. In addition, deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2015 increased by $66.0 million, compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in Non-cash Compensation Expense, partly offset by an increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with earnings of foreign subsidiaries. 
As of September 30, 2015, Sanofi, Bayer HealthCare, and trade accounts receivable increased by $462.9 million, compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to higher U.S. EYLEA sales and higher amounts due from Sanofi in connection with the companies' Antibody Collaboration. Inventories as of September 30, 2015 increased by $81.5 million, compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to increased production of EYLEA commercial supplies as well as capitalization of Praluent inventory. Deferred revenue increased by $624.1 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to $640.0 million of upfront payments received from Sanofi in connection with the companies' IO Collaboration. Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities increased by $164.7 million as of September 30, 2015, compared to December 31, 2014, primarily due to (i) higher accruals for sales-related charges and deductions, and royalties related to EYLEA, (ii) higher expenditures in connection with our expanding research and development activities, (iii) higher payroll and payroll-related costs, and (iv) higher tax-related liabilities.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $554.3 million in the first nine months of 2014. Our net income of $248.0 million in the first nine months of 2014 included Non-cash Compensation Expense of $208.7 million and depreciation and amortization of $38.6 million. In addition, deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2014 increased by $34.2 million, compared to end-of-year 2013, primarily due to an increase in Non-cash Compensation Expense and a credit for alternative minimum tax paid, partly offset by the reduction of our deferred tax assets related to the New York State tax legislation enacted in the first quarter of 2014, which reduced our New York State income tax rate to zero percent effective in 2014. 
As of September 30, 2014, Sanofi, Bayer HealthCare, and trade accounts receivable decreased by $53.6 million, compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to lower trade accounts receivable resulting from shortened payment terms to certain of our U.S. EYLEA customers effective January 2014, partly offset by higher amounts receivable from Bayer HealthCare in connection with the commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States. Inventories increased by $50.9 million, compared to December 31, 2013, primarily in connection with increased production of EYLEA commercial supplies. Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities increased by $76.5 million at September 30, 2014, compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to higher accruals for sales-related charges, including the impact of the Branded Prescription Drug Fee incremental charge as described above, and higher accruals related to various clinical studies and capital expenditures.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $784.3 million and $477.4 million in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, purchases of marketable securities exceeded sales or maturities by $284.1 million and $262.0 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were $500.2 million and $215.5 million in the first nine month of 2015 and 2014, respectively. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2015 primarily included costs in connection with renovations of our Limerick, Ireland manufacturing facility, tenant improvement and associated costs related to two new buildings at our leased Tarrytown, New York facilities, and expansion of our Rensselaer, New York manufacturing facilities. In addition, in April 2015, we acquired an approximate 100-acre parcel of undeveloped land adjacent to our current Tarrytown, New York location for an aggregate purchase price of $73.0 million. We intend to develop this property to accommodate and support our growth, primarily in connection with expanding our existing research and development and office space. Capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2014 primarily included costs in connection with expanding our Rensselaer, New York manufacturing facilities, tenant improvement and associated costs related to our leased facilities in Tarrytown, New York, and the acquisition and renovations of our Limerick, Ireland manufacturing facility.

Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $258.8 million in the first nine months of 2015 and net cash provided by financing activities was $34.1 million in the first nine months of 2014. In the first nine months of 2015, proceeds in connection with facility and capital leases obligations primarily relates to reimbursements of $27.4 million we received from our landlord for tenant improvement costs in connection with our leased facilities in Tarrytown, New York. In the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, $146.0 million and $61.1 million principal amount of our Notes, respectively, that was previously surrendered for conversion was settled. In accordance with the terms of the Notes, we elected to settle these conversion obligations through a combination of cash, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the converted Notes, and shares of our Common Stock in respect of any amounts due in excess thereof. Also during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, we paid an aggregate amount of $523.5 million and $143.0 million, respectively, to warrant holders to reduce the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Proceeds from issuances of Common Stock, in connection with exercises of employee stock options, were $150.4 million in the first nine months of 2015, compared to $80.8 million in the first nine months of 2014. In addition, payments for employee tax obligations in connection with stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock were $71.7 million in the first nine months of 2015 compared to $175.9 million in the first nine months of 2014. Cash flows from financing activities also increased by $305.6 million and $334.1 million in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, due to utilization of excess tax benefits in connection with stock option exercises, which offset cash tax obligations.
Credit Facility
In March 2015, we entered into an agreement with a syndicate of lenders (the Credit Agreement) which provides for a $750.0 million senior unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the Credit Facility). The Credit Agreement includes an option for us to elect to increase the commitments under the Credit Facility and/or to enter into one or more tranches of term loans in the aggregate principal amount of up to $250.0 million subject to the consent of the lenders providing the additional commitments or term loans, as applicable, and certain other conditions. Proceeds of the loans under the Credit Facility may be used to finance working capital needs, and for general corporate or other lawful purposes, of Regeneron and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement also provides a $100.0 million sublimit for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement includes an option for us to elect to extend the maturity date of the Credit Facility beyond March 2020, subject to the consent of the extending lenders and certain other conditions. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility may be prepaid, and the commitments under the Credit Facility may be terminated, at any time without premium or penalty. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015.
The Credit Agreement contains financial and operating covenants. Financial covenants include a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest expense coverage ratio. We were in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2015.
Immuno-Oncology Collaboration with Sanofi
As described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Sanofi," in July 2015, we and Sanofi entered into a global strategic collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize antibody-based cancer treatments in the field of immuno-oncology. The IO Collaboration is governed by an IO Discovery Agreement and an IO License and Collaboration Agreement. In connection with the IO Discovery Agreement, Sanofi made a $265.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to us. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, we will spend up to $1,090.0 million to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop therapeutic antibodies against such targets through clinical proof-of-concept. Sanofi will reimburse us for up to $825.0 million of these costs, subject to certain annual limits (including an annual limit of $55.0 million in 2015), to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop therapeutic antibodies against such targets through clinical proof-of-concept. Pursuant to the IO Discovery Agreement, we will be primarily responsible for the design and conduct of all research activities, including target identification and validation, antibody development, preclinical activities, toxicology studies, manufacture of preclinical and clinical supplies, filing of IND Applications, and clinical development through proof-of-concept. We will reimburse Sanofi for half of the development costs they funded that are attributable to clinical development of antibody product candidates under the IO Discovery Agreement from our share of future profits, if any, from commercialized products to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose. However, we are not required to apply more than 10% of our share of the profits from IO Collaboration products in any calendar quarter towards reimbursing Sanofi for these development costs. With regard to product candidates for which proof-of-concept is established, Sanofi will have the option to license rights to the product candidate pursuant to the IO License and Collaboration Agreement (as further described below). If Sanofi does not exercise its option to license rights to a product candidate, we will retain the exclusive right to develop and commercialize such product candidate and Sanofi will be entitled to receive a royalty on sales.
In connection with the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi made a $375.0 million non-refundable upfront payment to us. If Sanofi exercises its option to license rights to a product candidate thereunder, it will co-develop the drug candidate with us through product approval. Principal control of development of each product candidate that enters development under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement will alternate between us and Sanofi on a candidate-by-candidate basis. Sanofi will fund

drug candidate development costs up front for the candidates for which it is the principal controlling party and we will reimburse half of the total development costs for all such candidates from our share of future profits to the extent they are sufficient for this purpose, subject to the same 10% reimbursement limitation described above. In addition, we and Sanofi will share equally, on an ongoing basis, the development costs for the drug candidates for which we are the principal controlling party. The party having principal control over the development of a product candidate will also lead the commercialization activities for such product candidate in the United States. For all products commercialized under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States. Each party will have the right to co-promote licensed products in countries where it is not the lead commercialization party. The parties will share equally in any profits from worldwide sales of collaboration products. We are obligated to use commercially reasonable efforts to supply clinical requirements of each drug candidate under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement until commercial supplies of that IO drug candidate are being manufactured.
Under the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, the parties will also co-develop our antibody product candidate targeting PD-1 (REGN2810). The parties will share equally, on an ongoing basis, development expenses for REGN2810 up to a total of $650.0 million. We will have principal control over the development of REGN2810 and will lead commercialization activities in the Unites States, subject to Sanofi’s right to co-promote, while Sanofi will lead commercialization activities outside of the United States and the parties will equally share profits from worldwide sales. We will be entitled to a milestone payment of $375.0 million in the event that sales of all licensed products targeting PD-1 (including REGN2810), together with sales of any other products licensed under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement and sold for use in combination with a licensed product targeting PD-1, equal or exceed $2.0 billion in any consecutive twelve-month period.
Fasinumab Collaboration with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma
As described above under "Collaboration Agreements - Collaborations with Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma," in September 2015, we and MTPC entered into a collaboration agreement providing MTPC with development and commercial rights to fasinumab in Japan and certain other countries in Asia. In connection with the agreement, MTPC made a $10.0 million non-refundable upfront payment, and we are entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $65.0 million in development milestones achieved by us and $150.0 million in other contingent payments, primarily related to development milestones achieved by MTPC.
Under the agreement, we are obligated to manufacture and supply MTPC with clinical and commercial supplies of fasinumab. If fasinumab is commercialized in the MTPC Territories, we will supply the product to MTPC at a tiered purchase price, which ranges from 30% to 50% of net sales of the product (subject to adjustment in certain circumstances), and are eligible for additional payments up to an aggregate of $100.0 million upon the achievement of specified annual net sales amounts starting at $200 million.
Tarrytown, New York Lease
In April 2013, we entered into a new lease agreement for approximately 297,000 square feet of additional new laboratory and office space to be constructed in two new buildings (the Buildings), which was completed in the third quarter of 2015, at our current Tarrytown, New York location. The term of the lease, which commenced during the second half of 2014, is approximately 15 years and contains three renewal options to extend the term of the lease by five years each. The lease provides for (i) monthly payments over its term, which will commence in the fourth quarter of 2015 and will be based on the landlord's costs of construction and tenant allowances, and (ii) additional charges for utilities, taxes, and operating expenses. Based upon various factors, including our involvement in the Buildings' construction and our responsibility for directly paying for a substantial portion of tenant improvements, we are deemed, in substance, to be the owner of the landlord's Buildings in accordance with the application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) authoritative guidance. Consequently, in addition to capitalizing the tenant improvements, we capitalize the landlord's costs of constructing these new facilities, offset by a corresponding facility lease obligation. In addition, we recognize, as additional facility lease obligation, reimbursements from our landlord for tenant improvement costs that we incurred since, under FASB authoritative guidance, such payments that we receive from our landlord are deemed to be a financing obligation. We will allocate a portion of our future lease payments to the Buildings and the land on which the Buildings were constructed. The land element of the lease is treated for accounting purposes as an operating lease. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Buildings' facility lease obligation balance was $207.1 million and $152.8 million, respectively.

Capital Expenditures
Our cash expenditures for property, plant, and equipment totaled $500.2 million in the first nine months of 2015 and $215.5 million in the first nine months of 2014 (as described under "Cash Used in Investing Activities" above). We expect to incur capital expenditures of approximately $125 million to $175 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 primarily in connection with renovating our new Limerick, Ireland facility, tenant improvements primarily related to the Buildings at our leased Tarrytown, New York facilities, and expanding and renovating a portion of our manufacturing facilities at our Rensselaer, New York facility.
Funding Requirements
We expect continued increases in our expenditures, particularly in connection with our research and development activities (including preclinical and clinical testing), capital expenditures, costs related to the preparation for potential commercialization of our late-stage antibody product candidates, and commercialization of EYLEA and Praluent. We believe that our existing capital resources, borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility, funds generated by anticipated EYLEA net product sales, and, as described above under "Collaboration Agreements," funding for reimbursement of research and development costs that we are entitled to receive under our collaboration agreements with Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare, will enable us to meet our projected operating needs for the foreseeable future.
Under our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi and our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare for EYLEA outside the United States, we and our collaborator share profits and losses in connection with commercialization of drug products. Profits or losses under each collaboration are measured by calculating net sales less cost of goods sold and shared commercialization and other expenses. If the applicable collaboration is profitable, we have contingent contractual obligations to reimburse Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare for a defined percentage (generally 50%) of agreed-upon development expenses funded by Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare. These reimbursements would be deducted each quarter, in accordance with a formula, from our share of the collaboration profits (and, for our EYLEA collaboration with Bayer HealthCare, our percentage on product sales in Japan) otherwise payable to us, unless, in some cases, we elect to reimburse these expenses at a faster rate. In particular, as of December 31, 2014, our contingent reimbursement obligation to Bayer HealthCare for EYLEA was approximately $262 million and our contingent reimbursement obligation to Sanofi in connection with the companies' Antibody Collaboration was approximately $1,308 million. Therefore, we expect that, for the foreseeable future, a portion of our share of profits from sales of EYLEA outside the United States and a portion of our share of profits, if any, from sales of Praluent will be used to reimburse our collaborator for this obligation.
We enter into research collaboration and licensing agreements that may require us to pay amounts upon the achievement of various development and commercial milestones, which, in the aggregate, could be significant. For example, in May 2013, we acquired from Sanofi full exclusive rights to antibodies targeting the PDGF family of receptors and ligands in ophthalmology and all other indications; consequently, we are obligated to pay up to $20.0 million in potential additional development milestones as well as royalties on any future sales of PDGF antibodies. Additionally, if required by the agreement, we may be required to make royalty payments calculated based on a percentage of net product sales. The payment of these amounts, however, is contingent upon the occurrence of various future events, which have a high degree of uncertainty of occurring and for which the specific timing cannot be predicted.
The amount we need to fund operations will depend on various factors, including revenues from net product sales, the potential regulatory approval and commercialization of our product candidates and the timing thereof, the status of competitive products, the success of our research and development programs, the potential future need to expand our professional and support staff and facilities, the status of patents and other intellectual property rights (and future litigation related thereto), the delay or failure of a clinical trial of any of our potential drug candidates, and the continuation, extent, and success of our collaborations (in particular those with Sanofi and Bayer HealthCare). Clinical trial costs are dependent, among other things, on the size and duration of trials, fees charged for services provided by clinical trial investigators and other third parties, the costs for manufacturing the product candidate for use in the trials, and for supplies, laboratory tests, and other expenses. The amount of funding that will be required for our clinical programs depends upon the results of our research and preclinical programs and early-stage clinical trials, regulatory requirements, the duration and results of clinical trials underway and of additional clinical trials that we decide to initiate, and the various factors that affect the cost of each trial as described above.
In addition to our anticipated commercialization costs for EYLEA and Praluent, our commercialization costs over the next few years will depend on, among other things, whether or not our antibody product candidates in later stage clinical development receive regulatory approval, the market potential for product candidates, and the commercialization terms of our collaboration agreements, if applicable (whereby some or all commercialization costs may be shared with our collaborators). Currently, we are required to pay royalties on sales of certain commercial products. In the future, if we are able to successfully develop, market, and sell certain of our product candidates, we may be required to pay additional royalties or share the profits from such sales pursuant to our license or collaboration agreements. In addition, under the provisions of the PPACA and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, the Branded Prescription Drug Fee is imposed on pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell branded

61


Table of Contents

prescription drugs to specified government programs. This fee is allocated to companies, including Regeneron, based on their market share of total branded prescription drug sales into these government programs.
As described above, in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, we made cash payments of $71.7 million and $175.9 million, respectively, for employee tax obligations in connection with stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock. Future cash requirements for such payments will depend on various factors, including the level of stock option grants and exercises and the sales prices of our Common Stock, and may continue to be substantial.
We expect that expenses related to the filing, prosecution, defense, and enforcement of patents and other intellectual property will be substantial.
In the third and fourth quarters of 2015, we received notifications that an additional $20.5 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes were surrendered for conversion, and settlement is anticipated during the fourth quarter of 2015. We elected to settle these conversion obligations through a combination of cash and shares (total payment will be based on the average of the volume-weighted-average prices of the Common Stock during the 40 trading-day cash settlement averaging period specified in the indenture governing the Notes). In connection with these Note conversions, we exercised a proportionate amount of our Note hedges, for which we expect to receive shares of Common Stock approximately equal to the number of shares we will be required to issue to settle the non-cash portion of the related Note conversions. In future periods, other holders of these debt securities may surrender their Notes for conversion.
We may also from time to time seek to repurchase or retire our outstanding Notes, or other outstanding securities, through cash purchases or exchanges for other securities, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise.
Due primarily to the amounts of our tax credit carry-forwards available for tax purposes, which totaled approximately $146 million as of December 31, 2014, and potential excess tax benefits in connection with stock option exercises, we expect our cash income tax payments for 2015 to be significantly less than the income tax expense recorded in our financial statements in 2015, which is based on an effective tax rate. However, we expect our cash income tax payments in 2015 to be substantially higher than such payments in 2014.
Future Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to revenue recognition, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. To achieve that core principle, an entity must identify the contract(s) with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies the performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new standard by one year; as a result, the new standard will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption will be permitted, but no earlier than 2017 for calendar year-end entities. The standard allows for two transition methods - retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial adoption. We have not yet determined our method of transition and are evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial statements.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are a party to legal proceedings in the course of our business, including those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (filed February 12, 2015), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 (filed May 7, 2015), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 (filed August 4, 2015), and those described below. The outcome of any such proceedings, regardless of the merits, is inherently uncertain. For a description of risks relating to these and other legal proceedings we face, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors," including the discussion under the headings entitled "Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Market Exclusivity," "Regulatory and Litigation Risks," and "Risks Related to Our Common Stock."
Proceedings Relating to '287 Patent and '018 Patent
As previously reported, we are parties to patent infringement litigation involving our European Patent No. 1,360,287 (the '287 Patent) and our U.S. Patent No. 8,502,018 (the '018 Patent), both of which concern genetically altered mice capable of producing chimeric antibodies that are part human and part mouse.
On October 19, 2015, following the grant of our European Patent No. 2,264,163 (the '163 Patent) by the European Patent Office, we added an infringement claim based on the '163 Patent to our '287 Patent infringement litigation against Kymab Ltd and Novo Nordisk A/S in the English High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court, in London (previously consolidated into a single case). Both Kymab and Novo Nordisk counterclaimed alleging invalidity of the '163 Patent. A trial to adjudicate the claims of infringement and invalidity of the '287 Patent and the '163 Patent is currently set to begin in the week of November 16, 2015.
On November 2, 2015, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York issued an opinion and order in our '018 Patent infringement litigation against Merus B.V. finding that the '018 Patent was procured by inequitable conduct, thus rendering it unenforceable. We plan to appeal the court's order.
Proceedings Relating to Praluent (alirocumab) Injection
As previously reported, we are currently a party to a patent infringement action initiated by Amgen Inc. against us and Sanofi relating to Praluent, which we are jointly developing and commercializing with Sanofi. On September 15, 2015, Amgen filed a motion for leave to file a supplemental and second amended complaint. The complaint alleges, among other things, willful infringement of the asserted patents, which would entitle Amgen to treble damages if the court finds willful infringement. We and Sanofi have opposed the motion, and the parties are awaiting the court's decision on the motion. The trial is currently set to begin on March 7, 2016, and a permanent injunction hearing (which would be held if the court finds infringement by us and Sanofi) is currently scheduled to begin on March 23, 2016.
Proceedings Relating to Patents Owned by Genentech and City of Hope
As previously reported, we and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC are parties to litigation concerning U.S. Patent No. 7,923,221 (the '221 Patent), which is jointly owned by Genentech, Inc. and City of Hope and relates to the production of recombinant antibodies in host cells. On September 17, 2015, Genentech and City of Hope answered the complaint previously filed by us and Sanofi and counterclaimed, alleging that we and Sanofi infringe the '221 Patent and seeking, among other types of relief, damages and a permanent injunction. On November 2, 2015, the court set a tentative trial date beginning on September 27, 2016.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risks Related to Commercialization of EYLEA
We are substantially dependent on the success of EYLEA. If we or Bayer HealthCare are unable to continue to successfully commercialize EYLEA, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition will be materially harmed.
EYLEA net sales represent a substantial portion of our revenues and this concentration of our net sales in a single product makes us substantially dependent on that product. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, EYLEA net sales in the United States represented 64% and 60% of our total revenues, respectively. If we were to experience difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA in the United States, if Bayer HealthCare were to experience any difficulty with the commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States, or if we and Bayer HealthCare are unable to maintain current marketing approvals of EYLEA, we may experience a reduction in revenue and may not be able to sustain profitability, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed.
We expect that the continued commercial success of EYLEA will depend on many factors, including the following:
effectiveness of the commercial strategy in and outside the United States for the marketing of EYLEA, including pricing strategy and the continued effectiveness of efforts to obtain, and the timing of obtaining, adequate third-party reimbursements;
maintaining and successfully monitoring commercial manufacturing arrangements for EYLEA with third parties who perform fill/finish or other steps in the manufacture of EYLEA to ensure that they meet our standards and those of regulatory authorities, including the FDA, which extensively regulate and monitor pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities;
our ability to meet the demand for commercial supplies of EYLEA;
our ability to effectively communicate to the marketplace the benefits of the dosing regimen of EYLEA as compared to the dosing regimen of Lucentis® (ranibizumab), and the willingness of retinal specialists and patients to switch from Lucentis or off-label use of repackaged Avastin® (bevacizumab) to EYLEA;
the ability of patients, retinal specialists, and other providers to obtain and maintain sufficient coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States and other government and private payers in the United States and foreign jurisdictions;
our ability to maintain sales of EYLEA in the face of competitive products, including those currently in clinical development; and
the effect of existing and new health care laws and regulations currently being considered or implemented in the United States, including reporting and disclosure requirements of such laws and regulations and the potential impact of such requirements on physician prescription practices.
More detailed information about the risks related to the commercialization of EYLEA is provided below.
We and Bayer HealthCare are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to EYLEA. If we or Bayer HealthCare fail to maintain regulatory compliance for EYLEA, EYLEA marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We and Bayer HealthCare are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to EYLEA for its currently approved indications in the United States, EU, and other countries where the product is approved. If we or Bayer HealthCare fail to maintain regulatory compliance for EYLEA for its currently approved indications (including for any of the reasons discussed below under "Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain"), EYLEA marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Failure to comply may also subject us to sanctions, product recalls, or withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications. See also "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - If we fail to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates, we could incur substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if they obtain regulatory approval, and a reduction in sales" below.

Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use of EYLEA could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Serious complications or serious, unexpected side effects in connection with the use of EYLEA could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. For additional information about some of these risks, see "Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use of our products and in clinical trials for our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products could cause our regulatory approvals to be revoked or limited or lead to delay or discontinuation of development of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, which could severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition" below.
Sales of EYLEA are dependent on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payers, and changes to such reimbursement may materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Our sales in the United States of EYLEA are dependent, in large part, on the availability and extent of reimbursement from third-party payers, including private payer healthcare and insurance programs, health maintenance organizations, pharmacy benefit management companies, and government programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. Sales of EYLEA in other countries are dependent, in large part, on similar programs in those countries. In the United States, there is an increased focus from the federal government and others on analyzing the impact of various regulatory programs on the federal deficit, which could result in increased pressure on federal programs to reduce costs, including limiting federal healthcare expenditures. Economic pressure on state budgets may also have a similar impact. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from U.S. government programs could have a material adverse effect on the sales of EYLEA. Since EYLEA is too expensive for most patients to afford without health insurance coverage, if adequate coverage and reimbursement by third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, is not available, our ability to successfully commercialize EYLEA will be materially adversely impacted. Our sales and potential profits and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed. See also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Products - The successful commercialization of our marketed products, as well as our late-stage product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, will depend on obtaining and maintaining coverage and reimbursement for use of these products from third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, and these payers may not cover or adequately reimburse for use of our products or may do so at levels that make our products uncompetitive and/or unprofitable, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition" below.
The commercial success of EYLEA is subject to strong competition.
The market for eye disease products is very competitive. Novartis and Genentech/Roche are collaborating on the commercialization and further development of a VEGF antibody fragment, Lucentis, for the treatment of wet AMD, macular edema following RVO, DME, visual impairment due to mCNV, diabetic retinopathy in patients with DME, and other eye indications. Lucentis was approved by the FDA in June 2006 for the treatment of wet AMD, in June 2010 for the treatment of macular edema following RVO (including CRVO and BRVO), in August 2012 for the treatment of DME, and in February 2015 for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy in patients with DME. Lucentis was also approved by the EMA for wet AMD in January 2007, for DME in January 2011, for the treatment of macular edema following RVO (including CRVO and BRVO) in June 2011, and for mCNV in July 2013. Competitors are also exploring the development of a biosimilar version of Lucentis; in particular, Pfenex Inc. is developing PF582 (currently in a Phase 1b/2a trial in patients with wet AMD), and Formycon AG (in collaboration with bioeq GmbH) is developing FYB201 (currently in a Phase 3 trial in patients with wet AMD). Other competitive or potentially competitive products include Allergan's Ozurdex® (dexamethasone intravitreal implant) (approved by the FDA in June 2009 for the treatment of macular edema following RVO and in September 2014 for the treatment of DME) and Alimera Sciences' Iluvien® (fluocinolone acetonide intravitreal implant) (approved by the FDA in September 2014 for the treatment of DME in patients who have been previously treated with a course of corticosteroids and did not have a clinically significant rise in intraocular pressure), both of which are intravitreal implants of corticosteroids.

Many other companies are working on the development of product candidates and extended delivery devices for the potential treatment of wet AMD, DME, and RVO, including those that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors, as well as small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNAs) that modulate gene expression. For example, Genentech/Roche is developing a Lucentis port delivery system implant (currently in a Phase 2 study in patients with wet AMD). Novartis is developing ESBA1008 (RTH258), a humanized monoclonal single-chain FV (scFv) antibody fragment targeting VEGF-A for wet AMD, and initiated a non-inferiority Phase 3 trial comparing RTH258 (ESBA1008) and EYLEA in December 2014. Allergan is developing abicipar pegol (an anti-VEGF-A DARPin®) for wet AMD and related conditions (currently studied in Phase 3 trials against Lucentis as a comparator drug). Additionally, companies are developing products (or combinations of products) to treat wet AMD that act by blocking VEGF and VEGF receptors, as well as other targets (for example, PDGF). Ophthotech Corporation is developing Fovista, an aptamer directed against platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGF-B), as a product candidate intended to be used in combination with an anti-VEGF therapy in wet AMD. In 2013, Ophthotech initiated Phase 3 trials in AMD evaluating multiple combinations of Fovista, including Lucentis + Fovista, Avastin + Fovista, and EYLEA + Fovista. Genentech/Roche is developing a bi-specific antibody targeting both VEGF and Ang2 for wet AMD (currently in a Phase 2 trial in patients with wet AMD). Competitors are also developing eye-drop formulations, oral therapies, and gene/cell therapies for various indications that, if approved, would compete with EYLEA in one or more of its currently approved indications.
In addition, ophthalmologists are using with success off-label, third-party repackaged versions of Genentech/Roche's approved VEGF antagonist, Avastin, for the treatment of wet AMD, DME, and RVO. The relatively low cost of therapy with repackaged Avastin in patients with wet AMD presents a significant competitive challenge in this indication. Competitors (including Amgen) are also developing a biosimilar version of Avastin. Long-term, controlled clinical trials comparing Lucentis to Avastin in the treatment of wet AMD are being conducted. One-year data from the Comparison of Age-Related Macular Degeneration Treatments Trial (CATT) were reported in April 2011 and indicated that Avastin dosed monthly was non-inferior to Lucentis dosed monthly in the primary efficacy endpoint of mean visual acuity gain at 52 weeks. Two-year data from CATT were reported in April 2012 and indicated that monthly Avastin was non-inferior to monthly Lucentis in mean visual acuity gain; as-needed dosing was not non-inferior to monthly dosing. Avastin is also being evaluated in eye diseases in trials that have been initiated in the United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Israel, and other countries. Furthermore, Lucentis and off-label use of repackaged Avastin present significant competitive challenges as doctors and patients have had significant experience using these medicines. Moreover, the reported results of the CATT study, combined with the relatively low cost of repackaged Avastin in treating patients with wet AMD, may well exacerbate the competitive challenge which EYLEA faces in this or other eye indications for which it may be approved. Finally, ZALTRAP has not been manufactured and formulated for use in intravitreal injections, and while we believe that ZALTRAP would not be well tolerated if administered directly to the eye, there is a risk that third parties may attempt to repackage ZALTRAP for off-label use and sale for the treatment of wet AMD and other diseases of the eye, which would present a potential low-cost competitive threat to EYLEA for its approved indications. See also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Products - We may be unsuccessful in continuing the commercialization of our marketed products or in commercializing our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, which would materially and adversely affect our business, profitability, and future prospects" below.
We rely on our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare for commercializing EYLEA.
While we have established our own sales and marketing organization for EYLEA in the United States for its currently approved indications, our commercialization experience is still relatively limited and we have no sales, marketing, commercial, or distribution capabilities outside the United States.
Under the terms of our license and collaboration agreement with Bayer HealthCare (which is terminable by Bayer HealthCare at any time upon six or twelve months' advance notice), we rely on Bayer HealthCare for sales, marketing, and distribution of EYLEA in countries outside the United States. If we and Bayer HealthCare are unsuccessful in continuing to commercialize EYLEA, our ability to sustain profitability would be materially impaired. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities. Therefore, termination of the Bayer HealthCare collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development and commercialization of EYLEA, particularly outside the United States. For additional information regarding our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare, see "Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties - If our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare for EYLEA is terminated, or Bayer HealthCare materially breaches its obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to continue to develop EYLEA and commercialize EYLEA outside the United States in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed" below.

Table of Contents

Sales of EYLEA recorded by us and Bayer HealthCare could be reduced by imports from countries where EYLEA may be available at lower prices.
Our sales of EYLEA in the United States and Bayer HealthCare's sales of EYLEA in other countries may be reduced if EYLEA is imported into those countries from lower priced markets, whether legally or illegally (a practice known as parallel trading or reimportation). Parallel traders (who may repackage or resize the original product or sell it through alternative channels such as mail order or the Internet) take advantage of the price differentials between markets arising from factors including sales costs, market conditions (such as intermediate trading stages), tax rates, or national regulation of prices. Under our arrangement with Bayer HealthCare, pricing and reimbursement for EYLEA outside the United States is the responsibility of Bayer HealthCare. Prices for EYLEA in territories outside the United States are based on local market economics and competition and are likely to differ from country to country. In the United States, prices for pharmaceuticals are generally higher than in the bordering nations of Canada and Mexico and our sales of EYLEA in the United States may be reduced if EYLEA marketed in those nations is imported into the United States. Parallel-trading practices also are of particular relevance to the EU, where they have been encouraged by the current regulatory framework. These types of imports may exert pressure on the pricing of EYLEA in a particular market or reduce our or Bayer HealthCare's sales, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations. In addition, there have been proposals to legalize the import of pharmaceuticals from outside the United States. If such legislation were enacted, our future revenues derived from EYLEA sales could be reduced.
Risks Related to Commercialization of Praluent
If we and Sanofi are unable to successfully commercialize Praluent, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
We expect that the commercial success of Praluent will depend on many factors, including the following:
effectiveness of the commercial strategy in and outside the United States for the marketing of Praluent, including pricing strategy and the effectiveness of efforts to obtain, and the timing of obtaining, adequate third-party reimbursements;
our and Sanofi's ability to effectively communicate to the marketplace the benefits of Praluent;
the ability of patients and providers to obtain and maintain sufficient coverage and reimbursement from third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States and other government and private payers in the United States and foreign jurisdictions;
our and Sanofi's ability to maintain sales of Praluent in the face of competitive products, including those currently in clinical development;
the impact of post-approval studies of Praluent (including the ongoing ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial prospectively assessing the potential of Praluent to demonstrate cardiovascular benefit), whether conducted by us or by others and whether mandated by regulatory agencies or voluntary, and other data about Praluent (or data about products similar to Praluent that implicate an entire class of products or are perceived to do so);
our ability to meet the demand for commercial supplies of Praluent;
the effect of existing and new health care laws and regulations currently being considered or implemented in the United States, including reporting and disclosure requirements of such laws and regulations and the potential impact of such requirements on physician prescription practices; and
maintaining and successfully monitoring commercial manufacturing arrangements for Praluent with third parties who perform fill/finish or other steps in the manufacture of Praluent to ensure that they meet our standards and those of regulatory authorities, including the FDA, which extensively regulate and monitor pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities.
More detailed information about the risks related to the commercialization of Praluent is provided below.
We and Sanofi are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to Praluent. If we or Sanofi fail to maintain regulatory compliance for Praluent, Praluent marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We and Sanofi are subject to significant ongoing regulatory obligations and oversight with respect to Praluent for its currently approved indications in the United States and the EU. If we or Sanofi fail to maintain regulatory compliance for Praluent for its currently approved indications (including because Praluent does not meet the relevant endpoints of any required post-approval studies, such as the ongoing ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial, or for any of the other reasons discussed below under "Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products - Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain"), Praluent marketing approval may be withdrawn, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Failure to comply may also subject us to sanctions, product recalls, or withdrawals of previously approved marketing applications. See also "Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply - If we fail to

Government and other third-party payers (including pharmacy benefit management companies) are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting, and attempting to limit, both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs. For example, pharmacy benefit management companies often develop formularies to reduce their cost for medications. The breadth of the products covered by formularies varies considerably from one pharmacy benefit management company to another. Failure to be included in such formularies or to achieve favorable formulary status may negatively impact the utilization and market share of Praluent. If Praluent is not included within an adequate number of formularies, adequate reimbursement levels are not provided, or the eligible insured patient population for Praluent is limited, this could have a material adverse effect on our and Sanofi's ability to commercialize Praluent.
In the United States, there also is an increased focus from the federal government and others on analyzing the impact of various regulatory programs on the federal deficit, which could result in increased pressure on federal programs to reduce costs, including limiting federal healthcare expenditures. Economic pressure on state budgets may also have a similar impact. A reduction in the availability or extent of reimbursement from U.S. government programs could have a material adverse effect on the sales of Praluent. Since Praluent is too expensive for most patients to afford without health insurance coverage, if adequate coverage and reimbursement by third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, is not available, our ability to successfully commercialize Praluent will be materially adversely impacted. Our sales and potential profits and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed. See also "Risks Related to Commercialization of Products - The successful commercialization of our marketed products, as well as our late-stage product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, will depend on obtaining and maintaining coverage and reimbursement for use of these products from third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, and these payers may not cover or adequately reimburse for use of our products or may do so at levels that make our products uncompetitive and/or unprofitable, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition" below.
The commercial success of Praluent is subject to strong competition.
There is significant actual and potential future competition for Praluent. Amgen's PCSK9 program is currently the most advanced of the competitors, having already received regulatory approval from the FDA and marketing authorization from the European Commission for its PCSK9 inhibitor RepathaTM (evolocumab). Amgen may obtain marketing approval for Repatha in one or more additional countries before Praluent is approved in those countries. Several other companies, including Pfizer, also have development programs for antibodies against PCSK9. Alnylam, in partnership with The Medicines Company, has a clinical program underway with an RNAi molecule against PCSK9. In addition, there are therapeutic products targeting PCSK9 operating through other mechanisms of action in development, including an oral product. Oral products that lower LDL-C, if approved, may also be competitive with PCSK9 inhibitors, including Praluent. Certain late-stage inhibitors of cholesterylester transfer protein (CETP), such as Merck's anacetrapib, lower LDL-C and may be launched with supporting data from outcomes trials prior to the completion of our own outcomes trial for Praluent. Another oral agent that lowers LDL-C and that may potentially compete with Praluent is Esperion's ETC-1002.

We rely on our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi for commercializing Praluent.
In accordance with the terms of our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, we have elected to co-promote Praluent with Sanofi in the United States. However, we continue to rely in part on Sanofi's sales and marketing organization in the United States. Sanofi also maintains other important responsibilities relating to Praluent in the United States. For example, Sanofi records product sales and cost of sales for Praluent in the United States, serves as the lead regulatory party (e.g., is responsible for regulatory filings and negotiations relating to Praluent in the United States), and leads negotiations with payors. We also rely on Sanofi for sales, marketing, and distribution of Praluent in countries outside the United States. If we and Sanofi are unsuccessful in commercializing Praluent, or if Sanofi terminates the Antibody Collaboration with us, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially impaired. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities for Praluent. Therefore, termination of our Antibody Collaboration would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful commercialization of Praluent, particularly outside the United States. For additional information regarding our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, see "Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties - If any of our collaborations with Sanofi is terminated, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to discover, develop, manufacture, and commercialize our pipeline of product candidates in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed" below.
Sales of Praluent recorded by Sanofi could be reduced by imports from countries where Praluent may be available at lower prices.
Sales of Praluent in the United States and other countries recorded by Sanofi may be reduced if Praluent is imported into those countries from lower priced markets, whether legally or illegally (a practice known as parallel trading or reimportation). Parallel traders (who may repackage or resize the original product or sell it through alternative channels such as mail order or the Internet) take advantage of the price differentials between markets arising from factors including sales costs, market conditions (such as intermediate trading stages), tax rates, or national regulation of prices. Under our Antibody Collaboration with Sanofi, pricing and reimbursement for Praluent outside the United States is the responsibility of Sanofi. Prices for Praluent in territories outside the United States are based on local market economics and competition and are likely to differ from country to country. In the United States, prices for pharmaceuticals are generally higher than in the bordering nations of Canada and Mexico and sales of Praluent in the United States that are recorded by Sanofi may be reduced if Praluent marketed in those bordering nations is imported into the United States. Parallel-trading practices also are of particular relevance to the EU, where they have been encouraged by the current regulatory framework. These types of imports may exert pressure on the pricing of Praluent in a particular market or the sales recorded by Sanofi, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations. In addition, there have been proposals to legalize the import of pharmaceuticals from outside the United States. If such legislation were enacted, our future revenues derived from Praluent sales could be reduced.
Risks Related to Maintaining Approval of Our Marketed Products and the Development and Obtaining Approval of Our Product Candidates and New Indications for Our Marketed Products
If we do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, we will not be able to market or sell them, which would materially and negatively impact our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot sell or market products without regulatory approval. If we do not maintain regulatory approval for our marketed products, and obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications of our marketed products, the value of our company and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition will be materially harmed. If we are unable to obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates, or if we are materially delayed in doing so, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval for drug products is costly, time-consuming, and highly uncertain.
In the United States, we must obtain and maintain approval from the FDA for each drug we intend to sell. Obtaining FDA approval is typically a lengthy and expensive process, and approval is highly uncertain. We cannot predict with certainty if or when we might submit for regulatory approval any of our product candidates currently under development. Any approvals we may obtain may not cover all of the clinical indications for which we are seeking approval. Also, an approval might contain significant limitations in the form of narrow indications, warnings, precautions, or contra-indications with respect to conditions of use. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process (including with respect to setting specific conditions for submission) and may either refuse to accept an application for substantive review or may form the opinion after review of an application that the application is insufficient to allow approval of a product candidate. If the FDA does not accept our application for review or approve our application, it may require that we conduct additional clinical, preclinical, or manufacturing validation studies and submit the data before it will reconsider our application. Depending on the extent of these or any other studies that might be required, approval of any applications that we submit may be delayed significantly, or we may be required to expend more resources. It is also possible

69


Table of Contents

that any such additional studies, if performed and completed, may not be considered sufficient by the FDA to make our applications approvable. If any of these outcomes occur, we may be forced to delay or abandon our applications for approval.
The FDA may also require us to conduct additional clinical trials after granting approval of a product. Its ability to do so has been enhanced by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, pursuant to which the FDA has the explicit authority to require postmarketing studies (also referred to as post-approval or Phase 4 studies), labeling changes based on new safety information, and compliance with FDA-approved risk evaluation and mitigation strategies. Post-approval studies, whether conducted by us or by others and whether mandated by regulatory agencies or voluntary, and other data about our marketed products (or data about products similar to our marketed products that implicate an entire class of products or are perceived to do so) may result in changes in product labeling, restrictions on use, product withdrawal or recall, loss of approval, or lower sales of our products.
According to the FDA policies under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act, the FDA system of review times for new drugs includes standard review and priority review. Standard review can be accomplished in a ten-month time frame from the time the application is filed by the FDA (filing date), which typically occurs approximately 60 days following submission of the application by the applicant. The FDA has stated the goal to act on 90% of standard new molecular entity (NME) New Drug Application (NDA) and original BLA submissions within 10 months of the filing date. A priority review designation is given to drugs that treat a serious condition and offer major advances in treatment, or provide a treatment where no adequate therapy exists, and may also be afforded to a human drug application based on a priority review voucher. The FDA has stated the goal to act on 90% of priority NME NDA and original BLA submissions within 6 months of the filing date. However, the FDA's review goals are subject to change and the duration of the FDA's review depends on a number of factors, including the number and types of other applications that are submitted to the FDA around the same time period or are pending. Even if any of our applications receives a priority review designation, we may not ultimately be able to obtain approval of our application within a time frame consistent with the FDA's stated review goals or at all, and such designation may not actually lead to a faster development or regulatory review or approval process.
The FDA enforces Good Clinical Practices (GCPs) and other regulations through periodic inspections of trial sponsors, clinical research organizations (CROs), principal investigators, and trial sites. If we or any of the third parties conducting our clinical studies are determined to have failed to fully comply with GCPs, the study protocol or applicable regulations, the clinical data generated in those studies may be deemed unreliable. This could result in non-approval of our product candidates by the FDA, or we or the FDA may decide to conduct additional audits or require additional clinical studies, which would delay our development programs, require us to incur additional costs, and could substantially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Before approving a new drug or biologic product, the FDA requires that the facilities at which the product will be manufactured or advanced through the supply chain be in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements and regulations governing the manufacture, shipment, and storage of the product. These cGMP requirements and regulations are not prescriptive instructions on how to manufacture products, but rather a series of principles that must be observed during manufacturing; as a result, their implementation may not be clearly delineated and may present a challenging task. Manufacturing product candidates in compliance with these regulatory requirements is complex, time-consuming, and expensive. To be successful, our products must be manufactured in compliance with regulatory requirements, and at competitive costs. If we or any of our product collaborators, or third-party manufacturers, product packagers, labelers, or other parties performing steps in the supply chain are unable to maintain regulatory compliance, the FDA can impose regulatory sanctions, including, among other things, refusal to approve a pending application for a new drug or biologic product, or revocation of a pre-existing approval. As a result, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
In addition to the FDA and other regulatory agency regulations in the United States, we are subject to a variety of foreign regulatory requirements governing human clinical trials, manufacturing, marketing and approval of drugs, and commercial sale and distribution of drugs in foreign countries. The foreign regulatory approval process is similarly likely to be a lengthy and expensive process, the result of which is highly uncertain, and foreign regulatory requirements include all of the risks associated with FDA approval as well as country specific regulations. In addition, actions by a regulatory agency in a country or region with respect to a product candidate may have an impact on the approval process for that product candidate in another country or region. Foreign regulatory authorities often also have the authority to require post-approval studies, which involve various risks similar to those described above. Whether or not we obtain FDA approval for a product in the United States, we must obtain approval of the product by the comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries before we can conduct clinical trials of or market that product or any other product in those countries.

Preclinical and clinical studies required for our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products are expensive and time-consuming, and their outcome is highly uncertain. If any such studies are delayed or yield unfavorable results, regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications of our marketed products may be delayed or become unobtainable.
As described above, we must conduct extensive testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products before we can obtain regulatory approval to market and sell them. We need to conduct both preclinical animal testing and human clinical trials. Conducting such studies is a lengthy, time-consuming, and expensive process. These tests and trials may not achieve favorable results for many reasons, including, among others, failure of the product candidate to demonstrate safety or efficacy, the development of serious or life-threatening adverse events (or side effects) caused by or connected with exposure to the product candidate, difficulty in enrolling and maintaining subjects in a clinical trial, lack of sufficient supplies of the product candidate or comparator drug, and the failure of clinical investigators, trial monitors, contractors, consultants, or trial subjects to comply with the trial plan, protocol, or applicable regulations related to Good Laboratory Practices (GLPs) or GCPs. A clinical trial may fail because it did not include and retain a sufficient number of patients to detect the endpoint being measured or reach statistical significance. A clinical trial may also fail because the dose(s) of the investigational drug included in the trial were either too low or too high to determine the optimal effect of the investigational drug in the disease setting.
We will need to reevaluate any drug candidate that does not test favorably and either conduct new studies, which are expensive and time consuming, or abandon that drug development program. If preclinical testing yields unfavorable results, product candidates may not advance to clinical trials. The failure of clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of our clinical candidates for the desired indication(s) would preclude the successful development of those candidates for such indication(s), in which event our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
Successful development of our current and future product candidates is uncertain.
Only a small minority of all research and development programs ultimately result in commercially successful drugs. Clinical trials may not demonstrate statistically sufficient effectiveness and safety to obtain the requisite regulatory approvals for these product candidates in these indications. Many companies in the biopharmaceutical industry, including our company, have suffered significant setbacks in clinical trials, even after promising results have been obtained in earlier trials. In a number of instances, we have terminated the development of product candidates due to a lack of or only modest effectiveness. For example, a randomized, double-blind Phase 3 trial (VENICE) that evaluated ZALTRAP as a first-line treatment for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer in combination with docetaxel/prednisone did not meet the pre-specified criterion of improvement in overall survival in April 2011. Moreover, even if we obtain positive results from preclinical testing or clinical trials, we may not achieve the same success in future trials, or the FDA and analogous foreign regulatory authorities may deem the results insufficient for an approval. For instance, based on the results of three Phase 3 studies, we submitted a supplemental BLA filing to the FDA seeking approval of ARCALYST for the prevention of gout flares in patients initiating uric acid-lowering drug therapy. In May 2012, the Arthritis Advisory Committee of the FDA voted to recommend against approval of ARCALYST for the prevention of gout flares in patients initiating uric acid-lowering drug therapy and, in July 2012, we received a Complete Response letter from the FDA requesting additional information, including clinical data, as well as additional CMC information related to a proposed new dosage form. We have discontinued development of ARCALYST for gout.
Many of our clinical trials are conducted under the oversight of Independent Data Monitoring Committees (IDMCs). These independent oversight bodies are made up of external experts who review the progress of ongoing clinical trials, including available safety and efficacy data, and make recommendations concerning a trial's continuation, modification, or termination based on interim, unblinded data. Any of our ongoing clinical trials may be discontinued or amended in response to recommendations made by responsible IDMCs based on their review of such interim trial results. For example, in September 2009, a Phase 3 trial that was evaluating ZALTRAP as a first-line treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer in combination with gemcitabine was discontinued at the recommendation of an IDMC after a planned analysis of interim efficacy data determined that the trial would not meet its efficacy endpoint. The recommended termination of any of our ongoing late-stage clinical trials by an IDMC could negatively impact the future development of our product candidate(s), and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.
We are studying our antibody candidates in a wide variety of indications in clinical trials. Many of these trials are exploratory studies designed to evaluate the safety profile of these compounds and to identify what diseases and uses, if any, are best suited for these product candidates. These product candidates may not demonstrate the requisite efficacy and/or safety profile to support continued development for some or all of the indications that are being, or are planned to be, studied, which would diminish our clinical "pipeline" and could negatively affect our future prospects and the value of our company.

Serious complications or side effects in connection with the use of our products and in clinical trials for our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products could cause our regulatory approvals to be revoked or limited or lead to delay or discontinuation of development of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, which could severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
During the conduct of clinical trials, patients report changes in their health, including illnesses, injuries, and discomforts, to their study doctor. Often, it is not possible to determine whether or not the drug candidate being studied caused these conditions. Various illnesses, injuries, and discomforts have been reported from time-to-time during clinical trials of our product candidates and new indications for our marketed products. It is possible that as we test our drug candidates or new indications in larger, longer, and more extensive clinical programs, or as use of these drugs becomes more widespread if they receive regulatory approval, illnesses, injuries, and discomforts that were observed in earlier trials, as well as conditions that did not occur or went undetected in previous trials, will be reported by patients. Many times, side effects are only detectable after investigational drugs are tested in large-scale, Phase 3 clinical trials or, in some cases, after they are made available to patients after approval. If additional clinical experience indicates that any of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products has many side effects or causes serious or life-threatening side effects, the development of the product candidate may be delayed or fail, or, if the product candidate has received regulatory approval, such approval may be revoked, which would severely harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
EYLEA is being studied in diseases of the eye in addition to those covered by its currently approved indications and as a combination product. There are many potential safety concerns associated with significant blockade of VEGF that may limit our ability to further successfully develop and/or commercialize EYLEA. These serious and potentially life-threatening risks, based on clinical and preclinical experience of VEGF inhibitors, include bleeding, intestinal perforation, hypertension, proteinuria, congestive heart failure, heart attack, and stroke. Other VEGF blockers have reported side effects that became evident only after large-scale trials or after marketing approval when large numbers of patients were treated. There are risks inherent in the intravitreal administration of drugs like EYLEA (such as intraocular inflammation, sterile and culture positive endophthalmitis, corneal decomposition, retinal detachment, and retinal tear), which can cause injury to the eye and other complications. For example, in our Phase 3 trials of EYLEA in wet AMD, the most frequent ocular adverse events were conjunctival hemorrhage, macular degeneration, eye pain, retinal hemorrhage, and vitreous floaters. These and other complications or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of EYLEA.
The potential of Praluent to demonstrate cardiovascular benefit is being prospectively assessed in the ongoing ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial. There is no guarantee that Praluent will meet the relevant endpoints of this trial. In addition, there are potential safety concerns associated with PCSK9 inhibitor antibodies such as Praluent that may limit our ability to further successfully develop and/or commercialize Praluent, including new-onset diabetes mellitus, injection-site reactions, hypersensitivity, immunogenicity, demyelination, and changes in neurocognitive function. There also are risks inherent in subcutaneous injections, including subcutaneous injections with Praluent, such as injection-site reactions (including redness, itching, swelling, pain, and tenderness) and other side effects. These and other complications or side effects could harm further development and/or commercialization of Praluent.
Our product candidates in development are recombinant proteins that could cause an immune response, resulting in the creation of harmful or neutralizing antibodies against the therapeutic protein.
In addition to the safety, efficacy, manufacturing, and regulatory hurdles faced by our product candidates, the administration of recombinant proteins frequently causes an immune response, resulting in the creation of antibodies against the therapeutic protein. The antibodies can have no effect or can totally neutralize the effectiveness of the protein, or require that higher doses be used to obtain a therapeutic effect. In some cases, the antibody can cross-react with the patient's own proteins, resulting in an "auto-immune" type disease. Whether antibodies will be created can often not be predicted from preclinical or clinical experiments, and their detection or appearance is often delayed, so neutralizing antibodies may be detected at a later date, in some cases even after pivotal clinical trials have been completed.

We may be unable to formulate or manufacture our product candidates in a way that is suitable for clinical or commercial use, which would delay or prevent continued development of such candidates and/or receipt of regulatory approval or commercial sale, which could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
If we are unable to continue to develop suitable product formulations or manufacturing processes to support large-scale clinical testing of our product candidates, including our antibody candidates, we may be unable to supply necessary materials for our clinical trials, which would delay or prevent the development of our product candidates. Similarly, if we are unable, directly or through our collaborators or third parties, to supply sufficient quantities of our products or develop formulations of our product candidates suitable for commercial use, we will be unable to obtain regulatory approval for those product candidates.
Some of our products and, if approved, product candidates may be used with drug delivery devices, which have their own regulatory and other risks.
Some of our products (such as Praluent) are used and, if approved, some of our product candidates may be used in combination with a drug delivery device, including a pre-filled syringe, patch pump, auto-injector, or other delivery system. The success of our product candidates may depend to a significant extent on the performance of such devices, some of which may be novel or comprised of complex components. Given the increased complexity of the review process when approval of the product and device is sought under a single marketing application, our product candidates used with such drug delivery devices may be substantially delayed in receiving regulatory approval or may not be approved at all. In addition, some of these drug delivery devices may be provided by single-source, third-party providers or our collaborators. In any such case, we may be dependent on the sustained cooperation of those third-party providers or collaborators to supply the devices; to conduct the studies required for approval or clearance by the applicable regulatory agencies; and to continue to meet the applicable regulatory and other requirements to maintain approval or clearance once it has been received. Failure to successfully develop or supply the devices, delays in or failure of the studies conducted by us, our collaborators, or third-party providers, or failure of our company, our collaborators, or the third-party providers to obtain or maintain regulatory approval or clearance of the devices could result in increased development costs, delays in or failure to obtain regulatory approval, and associated delays in a product candidate reaching the market. Loss of regulatory approval or clearance of a device that is used with our product may also result in the removal of our product from the market. Further, failure to successfully develop or supply these devices, or to gain or maintain their approval, could adversely affect sales of the related products.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property and Market Exclusivity
If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets or our patents are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed.
Our business requires using sensitive and proprietary technology and other information that we protect as trade secrets. We seek to prevent improper disclosure of these trade secrets through confidentiality agreements. If our trade secrets are improperly disclosed, by our current or former employees, our collaborators, or otherwise, it would help our competitors and adversely affect our business. We will be able to protect our proprietary rights only to the extent that our proprietary technologies and other information are covered by valid and enforceable patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets. The patent position of biotechnology companies, including our company, involves complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, enforceability cannot be predicted with certainty. Our patents may be challenged, invalidated, held to be unenforceable, or circumvented. Patent applications filed outside the United States may be challenged by other parties, for example, by filing third-party observations that argue against patentability or an opposition. Such opposition proceedings are increasingly common in the EU and are costly to defend. For example, our European Patent No. 1,360,287 has been the subject of opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office, as described in Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. We have pending patent applications in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the European Patent Office, and the patent offices of other foreign jurisdictions, and it is likely that we will need to defend patents from challenges by others from time to time in the future. Certain of our U.S. patents may also be challenged by parties who file a request for post-grant review under the America Invents Act of 2011. We expect that post-grant review proceedings will become common in the United States and will be costly to defend. Our patent rights may not provide us with a proprietary position or competitive advantages against competitors. Furthermore, even if the outcome is favorable to us, the enforcement of our intellectual property rights can be extremely expensive and time consuming.

We may be restricted in our development, manufacturing, and/or commercialization activities by patents or other proprietary rights of others, and could be subject to damage awards if we are found to have infringed such patents or rights.
Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to operate without infringing the patents and other proprietary rights of others. Other parties may allege that they own blocking patents to our products in clinical development or even to products that have received regulatory approval and are being or have been commercialized, either because they claim to hold proprietary rights to the composition of a product or the way it is manufactured or the way it is used. Moreover, other parties may allege that they have blocking patents to antibody products made using our VelocImmune technology, either because of the way the antibodies are discovered or produced or because of a proprietary composition covering an antibody or the antibody's target.
We have been in the past, are currently, and may in the future be involved in patent litigation and other proceedings involving our patents. For example, we are currently parties to patent infringement proceedings initiated by us relating to our European Patent No. 1,360,287 and our U.S. Patent No. 8,502,018, both of which concern genetically altered mice capable of producing chimeric antibodies that are part human and part mouse, as described in Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015, and Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" of this report. In addition, we are currently parties to patent infringement proceedings initiated by Amgen against us and Sanofi relating to Praluent, as described in Part I, Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015, and Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" of this report. We are aware of additional patents and pending applications owned by others that claim antibodies to PCSK9 and methods of treating hypercholesterolemia with such antibodies. We are also aware of patents and pending applications owned by others that respectively claim antibodies to IL-6R and IL-4R and methods of treating rheumatoid arthritis and uveitis and atopic dermatitis and asthma with such antibodies. In addition to Praluent, our late-stage antibody-based pipeline includes sarilumab, an antibody to IL-6R, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and non-infectious uveitis; dupilumab, an antibody to IL-4R, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis with nasal polyposis, and eosinophilic esophagitis; REGN2222, an antibody targeting RSV-F; and fasinumab, an antibody to NGF. Although we do not believe that any of our late-stage antibody product candidates infringes any valid claim in these patents or patent applications, these other parties could initiate a lawsuit for patent infringement and assert their patents are valid and cover our late-stage antibody product candidates, similar to the patent infringement proceedings initiated by Amgen referred to above. As described in Part II, Item 1. "Legal Proceedings" of this report, we and Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC initiated invalidity actions against patents jointly owned by Genentech and City of Hope relating to the production of recombinant antibodies in host cells. We currently produce our antibody product and antibody product candidates using recombinant antibodies from host cells and may choose to produce additional antibody product candidates in this manner. Neither ARCALYST nor EYLEA is a recombinant antibody. Genentech has licensed these patents to several different companies under confidential license agreements. If we desire a license for any of our antibody products or product candidates as part of a settlement for these invalidity actions and are unable to obtain a license on commercially reasonable terms or at all, we may be restricted in our ability to make recombinant antibodies in, or to import them into, the United States. Further, we are aware of a number of patent applications of others that, if granted with claims as currently drafted, may cover our current or planned activities. It could be determined that our products and/or actions in manufacturing or selling our product candidates infringe such patents.
Patent holders could assert claims against us for damages and seek to prevent us from manufacturing, selling, or developing our products or product candidates, and a court may find that we are infringing validly issued patents of others. In the event that the manufacture, use, or sale of any of our products or product candidates infringes on the patents or violates other proprietary rights of others, we may be prevented from pursuing product development, manufacturing, and commercialization of those drugs and may be required to pay costly damages. In addition, in the event that we assert our patent rights against other parties that we believe are infringing our patent rights, such parties may challenge the validity of our patents and we may become the target of litigation, which may result in an outcome that is unfavorable to us. Any of these adverse developments may materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. In any event, legal disputes are likely to be costly and time consuming to defend.
We seek to obtain licenses to patents when, in our judgment, such licenses are needed or advisable. If any licenses are required, we may not be able to obtain such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, if at all. The failure to obtain any such license could prevent us from developing or commercializing any one or more of our products or product candidates, which could severely harm our business.

Loss or limitation of patent rights, and new regulatory pathways for biosimilar competition, could reduce the duration of market exclusivity for our products.
In the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, the majority of an innovative product's commercial value is usually realized during the period in which it has market exclusivity. In the United States and some other countries, when market exclusivity expires and generic versions of a product are approved and marketed, there usually are very substantial and rapid declines in the product's sales.
If our late-stage product candidates or other clinical candidates are approved for marketing in the United States or elsewhere, market exclusivity for those products will generally be based upon patent rights and/or certain regulatory forms of exclusivity. As described above under "If we cannot protect the confidentiality of our trade secrets or our patents are insufficient to protect our proprietary rights, our business and competitive position will be harmed," the scope and enforceability of our patent rights may vary from country to country. The failure to obtain patent and other intellectual property rights, or limitations on the use, or the loss, of such rights could materially harm us. Absent patent protection or regulatory exclusivity for our products, it is possible, both in the United States and elsewhere, that generic and/or biosimilar versions of those products may be approved and marketed, which would likely result in substantial and rapid reductions in revenues from sales of those products.
Under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, enacted in 2010, there is an abbreviated path in the United States for regulatory approval of biosimilar versions of biological products. The PPACA provides a regulatory mechanism that allows for FDA approval of biologic drugs that are similar to (but not generic copies of) innovative drugs on the basis of less extensive data than is required by a full BLA. Under this regulation, an application for approval of a biosimilar may be filed four years after approval of the innovator product. However, qualified innovative biological products will receive 12 years of regulatory exclusivity, meaning that the FDA may not approve a biosimilar version until 12 years after the innovative biological product was first approved by the FDA. However, the term of regulatory exclusivity may not remain at 12 years in the United States and could be shortened.
The increased likelihood of biosimilar competition has increased the risk of loss of innovators' market exclusivity. Due to this risk, and uncertainties regarding patent protection, if our late-stage product candidates or other clinical candidates are approved for marketing, it is not possible to predict the length of market exclusivity for a particular product with certainty based solely on the expiration of the relevant patent(s) or the current forms of regulatory exclusivity. It is also not possible to predict changes in United States regulatory law that might reduce biological product regulatory exclusivity. The loss of market exclusivity for a product would likely materially and negatively affect revenues from product sales of that product and thus our financial results and condition.
Risks Related to Manufacturing and Supply
We rely on limited internal and contracted manufacturing and supply chain capacity, which could result in our being unable to continue to successfully commercialize EYLEA, to commercialize Praluent and, if approved, our product candidates or other indications for our marketed products, and to advance our clinical pipeline.
Our manufacturing facilities would be inadequate to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredients of (a) EYLEA, Praluent, ZALTRAP, and ARCALYST, and (b) our antibody product candidates in sufficient clinical quantities if our clinical pipeline advances as planned. In addition to expanding our internal capacity, we intend to rely on our corporate collaborators, as well as contract manufacturers, to produce commercial quantities of drug material needed for commercialization of our products to the extent such quantities are not manufactured at our own facility. As we increase our production in anticipation of potential regulatory approval for our late-stage antibody product candidates, our current manufacturing capacity will likely not be sufficient, and we may depend on our collaborators or contract manufacturers, to produce adequate quantities of drug material for both commercial and clinical purposes. We rely entirely on other parties and our collaborators for filling and finishing services. Generally, in order for other parties to perform any step in the manufacturing and supply chain, we must transfer technology to the other party, which can be time consuming and may not be successfully accomplished without considerable cost and expense, or at all. We will have to depend on these other parties to perform effectively on a timely basis and to comply with regulatory requirements. If for any reason they are unable to do so, and as a result we are unable to directly or through other parties manufacture and supply sufficient commercial and clinical quantities of our products on acceptable terms, or if we should encounter delays or other difficulties in our relationships with our corporate collaborators, contract manufacturers, or other parties involved in our supply chain which adversely affect the timely manufacture and supply of our products or product candidates, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition may be materially harmed.

Expanding our manufacturing capacity will be costly and we may be unsuccessful in doing so in a timely manner, which could delay or prevent the launch and successful commercialization of our marketed products and late-stage product candidates or other indications for our marketed products if they are approved for marketing and could jeopardize our current and future clinical development programs.
We have commenced construction of additional manufacturing space at our Rensselaer, New York site to increase our manufacturing capacity. In addition, we have acquired and are renovating a 400,000 square foot facility in Limerick, Ireland to expand our manufacturing capacity to support our global supply chain. In the future, we may lease, operate, purchase, or construct additional facilities to conduct expanded manufacturing activities. Expanding our manufacturing capacity to supply commercial quantities of the active pharmaceutical ingredients for our marketed products and our late-stage product candidates if they are approved for marketing, and to supply clinical drug material to support the continued growth of our clinical programs, will require substantial additional expenditures and various regulatory approvals and permits. In addition, the Limerick, Ireland facility remains subject to securing certain permits from the local government, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain the remaining required permits in the contemplated timeframe, or at all. Further, we will need to hire and train significant numbers of employees and managerial personnel to staff our expanding manufacturing and supply chain operations. Start-up costs can be large, and scale-up entails significant risks related to process development and manufacturing yields. In addition, we may face difficulties or delays in developing or acquiring the necessary production equipment and technology to manufacture sufficient quantities of our product candidates at reasonable costs and in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. The FDA and analogous foreign regulatory authorities must determine that our existing and any expanded manufacturing facilities comply, or continue to comply, with cGMP requirements for both clinical and commercial production and license them, or continue to license them, accordingly, and such facilities must also comply with applicable environmental, safety, and other governmental permitting requirements. We may not successfully expand or establish sufficient manufacturing capabilities or manufacture our products economically or in compliance with cGMPs and other regulatory requirements, and we and our collaborators may not be able to build or procure additional capacity in the required timeframe to meet commercial demand for our late-stage product candidates if they receive regulatory approval, and to continue to meet the requirements of our clinical programs. This would interfere with our efforts to successfully commercialize EYLEA, Praluent, and ARCALYST and could also delay or require us to discontinue one or more of our clinical development programs. As a result, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be materially harmed.
Our ability to manufacture products may be impaired if any of our manufacturing activities, or the activities of third parties involved in our manufacture and supply chain, are found to infringe patents of others.
Our ability to continue to manufacture EYLEA, Praluent, ZALTRAP, and ARCALYST in our Rensselaer, New York facilities and, in the future, our ability to manufacture our marketed products at additional facilities, or to utilize third parties to produce our products, to supply raw materials or other products, or to perform fill/finish services or other steps in our manufacture and supply chain, depends on our and their ability to operate without infringing the patents or other intellectual property rights of others. Other parties may allege that our manufacturing activities, or the activities of third parties involved in our manufacture and supply chain (which may be located in jurisdictions outside the United States), infringe patents or other intellectual property rights. A judicial or regulatory decision in favor of one or more parties making such allegations could directly or indirectly preclude the manufacture of our products to which those intellectual property rights apply on a temporary or permanent basis, which could materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
If sales of EYLEA do not meet the levels currently expected, or if the launch of any of our product candidates is delayed or unsuccessful, we may face costs related to excess inventory or unused capacity at our manufacturing facilities and at the facilities of third parties.
We have large-scale manufacturing operations in Rensselaer, New York. We use our manufacturing facilities primarily to produce bulk product for commercial supply of our marketed products and clinical and preclinical candidates for ourselves and our collaborations. We also plan to use such facilities to produce bulk product for commercial supply of new indications of our marketed products and new product candidates if they are approved for marketing. If our clinical candidates are discontinued or their clinical development is delayed, if the launch of new indications for our marketed products or new product candidates is delayed or does not occur, or if such products are launched and the launch is unsuccessful or the product is subsequently recalled or marketing approval is rescinded, we may have to absorb one hundred percent of related overhead costs and inefficiencies, as well as similar costs of third-party contract manufacturers performing services for us. In addition, if we experience excess inventory, it may be necessary to write down or even write off such excess inventory, which could adversely affect our operating results.

Third-party service or supply failures, or other failures, business interruptions, or other disasters affecting our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York or the facilities of any other party participating in the supply chain, would adversely affect our ability to supply our products.
We currently manufacture all of our bulk drug materials at our manufacturing facilities in Rensselaer, New York. We would be unable to manufacture these materials if our Rensselaer facilities were to cease production due to regulatory requirements or actions, business interruptions, labor shortages or disputes, contaminations, fire, natural disasters, acts of war or terrorism, or other problems.
Many of our products and product candidates are very difficult to manufacture. As our products and product candidates are biologics, they require processing steps that are more difficult than those required for most chemical pharmaceuticals. Accordingly, multiple steps are needed to control the manufacturing processes. Problems with these manufacturing processes, even minor deviations from the normal process or from the materials used in the manufacturing process (which may not be detectable by us in a timely manner), could lead to product defects or manufacturing failures, resulting in lot failures, product recalls, product liability claims, and insufficient inventory. Also, the complexity of our manufacturing process may make it difficult, time-consuming, and expensive to transfer our technology to our corporate collaborators or contract manufacturers.
Also, certain raw materials or other products necessary for the manufacture and formulation of our marketed products and product candidates, some of which are difficult to source, are provided by single-source unaffiliated third-party suppliers. In addition, we rely on certain third parties to perform filling, finishing, distribution, laboratory testing, and other services related to the manufacture of our marketed products and product candidates, and to supply various raw materials and other products. We would be unable to obtain these raw materials, other products, or services for an indeterminate period of time if any of these third parties were to cease or interrupt production or otherwise fail to supply these materials, products, or services to us for any reason, including due to regulatory requirements or actions (including recalls), adverse financial developments at or affecting the supplier, failure by the supplier to comply with cGMPs, contamination, business interruptions, or labor shortages or disputes. In any such circumstances, we may not be able to engage a backup or alternative supplier or service provider in a timely manner or at all. This, in turn, could materially and adversely affect our ability to manufacture or supply marketed products and product candidates, which could materially and adversely affect our business and future prospects.
Certain of the raw materials required in the manufacture and the formulation of our product candidates may be derived from biological sources, including mammalian tissues, bovine serum, and human serum albumin. There are certain European regulatory restrictions on using these biological source materials. If we are required to substitute for these sources to comply with European regulatory requirements, our clinical development activities may be delayed or interrupted.
If we fail to meet the stringent requirements of governmental regulation in the manufacture of drug products or product candidates, we could incur substantial remedial costs, delays in the development or approval of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products and/or in their commercial launch if they obtain regulatory approval, and a reduction in sales.
We and our third-party providers are required to maintain compliance with cGMPs, and are subject to inspections by the FDA or comparable agencies in other jurisdictions to confirm such compliance. Changes of suppliers or modifications of methods of manufacturing may require amending our application(s) to the FDA or such comparable foreign agencies and acceptance of the change by the FDA or such comparable foreign agencies prior to release of product(s). Because we produce multiple products and product candidates at our facility in Rensselaer, New York, including EYLEA, Praluent, ZALTRAP, and ARCALYST, there are increased risks associated with cGMP compliance. Our inability, or the inability of our third-party fill/finish or other service providers, to demonstrate ongoing cGMP compliance could require us to engage in lengthy and expensive remediation efforts, withdraw or recall product, halt or interrupt clinical trials, and/or interrupt commercial supply of any marketed products, and could also delay or prevent our obtaining regulatory approval for our late-stage product candidates or new indications for our marketed products. Any delay, interruption, or other issue that arises in the manufacture, fill/finish, packaging, or storage of any drug product or product candidate as a result of a failure of our facilities or the facilities or operations of third parties to pass any regulatory agency inspection or maintain cGMP compliance could significantly impair our ability to develop, obtain approval for, and successfully commercialize our products, which would substantially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Any finding of non-compliance could also increase our costs, cause us to delay the development of our product candidates, result in delay in our obtaining, or our not obtaining, regulatory approval of product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, and cause us to lose revenue from any marketed products, which could be seriously detrimental to our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.

Risks Related to Commercialization of Products
We may be unsuccessful in continuing the commercialization of our marketed products or in commercializing our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, which would materially and adversely affect our business, profitability, and future prospects.
Even if clinical trials demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of any of our product candidates for a specific disease and the necessary regulatory approvals are obtained, the commercial success of any of our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products will depend upon, among other things, their acceptance by patients, the medical community, and third-party payers and on our and our collaborators' ability to successfully manufacture, market and distribute those products in substantial commercial quantities or to establish and manage the required infrastructure to do so, including large-scale information technology systems and a large-scale distribution network. Establishing and maintaining sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities are expensive and time-consuming. Even if we obtain regulatory approval for our product candidates or new indications, if they are not successfully commercialized, we will not be able to recover the significant investment we have made in developing such products and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be severely harmed.
The commercial success of our products may also be adversely affected by guidelines or recommendations to healthcare providers, administrators, payers, and patient communities that result in decreased use of our products. Such guidelines or recommendations may be published not only by governmental agencies, but also professional societies, practice management groups, private foundations, and other interested parties.
Our product candidates are delivered either by intravenous infusion or by intravitreal or subcutaneous injections, which are generally less well received by patients than tablet or capsule delivery and this could adversely affect the commercial success of those products if they receive marketing approval.
For a description of additional risks relating specifically to the commercialization of EYLEA and Praluent, see above under "Risks Related to Commercialization of EYLEA" and "Risks Related to Commercialization of Praluent," respectively.
Our marketed products are subject to significant competition, and our product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if any are approved for marketing, may face significant competition.
There is substantial competition in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries from biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and chemical companies. Many of our competitors have substantially greater research, preclinical and clinical product development and manufacturing capabilities, as well as financial, marketing, and human resources, than we do. Our smaller competitors may also enhance their competitive position if they acquire or discover patentable inventions, form collaborative arrangements, or merge with large pharmaceutical companies. Even if we achieve commercialization of our product candidates, our competitors have achieved, and may continue to achieve, product commercialization before our products are approved for marketing and sale.
The market for eye disease products is very competitive, as described in greater detail above under "Risks Related to Commercialization of EYLEA - The commercial success of EYLEA is subject to strong competition."
There is also significant actual and potential future competition for Praluent, the PCSK9 antibody we are developing and commercializing in collaboration with Sanofi, as described in greater detail above under "Risks Related to Commercialization of Praluent - The commercial success of Praluent is subject to strong competition."
Our earlier-stage clinical candidates in development are all fully human monoclonal antibodies, which were generated using our VelocImmune technology. Our antibody generation technologies and earlier-stage clinical candidates face competition from many pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using various technologies.
We are aware of several pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies actively engaged in the research and development of antibody products against targets that are also the targets of our early- and late-stage product candidates. For example, Pfizer (in partnership with Eli Lilly), Johnson & Johnson, and AbbVie are developing antibody product candidates against NGF. Genentech/Roche is marketing an antibody against IL-6R (Actemra®) for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, and several other companies, including Johnson & Johnson (in partnership with GlaxoSmithKline), Alder Biopharmaceuticals, Ablynx (in partnership with AbbVie), R-Pharm, and Pfizer have antibodies against IL-6 or IL-6R in clinical development. A number of companies are developing antibodies that, if approved, may compete with dupilumab, our IL-4R antibody, if it is approved, including Roche (an antibody against IL-13), Teva (an antibody against IL-5), AstraZeneca (antibodies against IL-5R and IL-13), Novartis (a combination antibody against IL-4 and IL-13), and Amgen (in partnership with AstraZeneca) (an antibody against thymic stromal lymphopoietin, or TSLP). For muscle-wasting conditions, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Atara Biotherapeutics have anti-GDF8 monoclonal antibodies in development, and Novartis has a competing antibody targeting ActRIIB. For RSV, competitors have antibodies in clinical development, including AstraZeneca (in partnership with AIMM Therapeutics).

If any of these or other competitors announces a successful clinical study involving a product that may be competitive with one of our product candidates or the grant of marketing approval by a regulatory agency for a competitive product, such developments may have an adverse effect on our business or future prospects. In addition, the first product to reach the market in a therapeutic area is often at a significant competitive advantage relative to later entrants to the market. Accordingly, the relative speed with which we, or our collaborators, can develop our products candidates, complete the clinical trials and approval processes, and, if such product candidates are approved for marketing and sale, supply commercial quantities to the market is expected to continue to be an important competitive factor. Due to the uncertainties associated with developing biopharmaceutical products, we may not be the first to obtain marketing approval for a product against any particular target, which may have a material adverse effect on our business or future prospects.
The successful commercialization of our marketed products, as well as our late-stage product candidates or new indications for our marketed products, if approved, will depend on obtaining and maintaining coverage and reimbursement for use of these products from third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, and these payers may not cover or adequately reimburse for use of our products or may do so at levels that make our products uncompetitive and/or unprofitable, which would materially harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Our future revenues and profitability will be adversely affected in a material manner if United States and foreign governmental payers, private third-party insurers and payers (such as health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit management companies), and other third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid, do not adequately defray or reimburse the cost of our products to the patients. If these entities do not provide coverage and reimbursement with respect to our products or provide an insufficient level of coverage and reimbursement, our products may be too costly for many patients to afford them, and physicians may not prescribe them. Many third-party payers cover only selected drugs, or may prefer selected drugs, making drugs that are not covered or preferred by such payers more expensive for patients. Third-party payers may also require prior authorization for reimbursement, or require failure on another type of treatment before covering a particular drug, particularly with respect to higher-priced drugs. As our currently marketed products and product candidates are biologics, bringing them to market may cost more than bringing traditional, small-molecule drugs to market due to the complexity associated with the research, development, production, supply and regulatory review of such products. Given cost sensitivities in many health care systems, our currently marketed products and product candidates are likely to be subject to continued pricing pressures, which may have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
In addition, in order for private insurance and governmental payers (such as Medicare and Medicaid in the United States) to reimburse the cost of our products, we must, among other things, maintain registration of the products in the National Drug Code registry, maintain our re-labeler license, maintain formulary approval by pharmacy benefits managers, and maintain recognition by insurance companies and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services (CMS). There is no certainty that we will be able to obtain or maintain the applicable requirements for reimbursement (including relevant formulary coverage) of our current and future products, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Government and other third-party payers (including pharmacy benefit management companies) are challenging the prices charged for healthcare products and increasingly limiting, and attempting to limit, both coverage and level of reimbursement for prescription drugs. In March 2010, the PPACA and a related reconciliation bill were enacted in the United States. This legislation imposes cost containment measures that are likely to adversely affect the amount of reimbursement for our future products. The full effects of this legislation are unknown at this time and will not be known until regulations and guidance are issued by CMS and other federal and state agencies. Further, in September 2011 the Office of Inspector General (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services issued a report entitled "Review of Medicare Part B Avastin and Lucentis Treatments for Age-Related Macular Degeneration" in which the OIG details possible savings to the Medicare program by using off-label, repackaged Avastin rather than Lucentis for the treatment of wet AMD. Some states are also considering legislation that would control the prices of drugs, and state Medicaid programs are increasingly requesting manufacturers to pay supplemental rebates and requiring prior authorization by the state program for use of any drug for which supplemental rebates are not being paid. It is likely that federal and state legislatures and health agencies will continue to focus on additional health care reform in the future that will impose additional constraints on prices and reimbursements for our products.
Since EYLEA and Praluent for their currently approved indications will likely continue to be too expensive for most patients to afford without health insurance coverage, if third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, do not continue to provide adequate coverage and reimbursement for EYLEA or do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement for Praluent, our ability to successfully market them would be materially adversely impacted. There is a risk that third-party payers, including Medicare and Medicaid in the United States, may not cover and/or reimburse our current and future products at levels required for us to successfully commercialize these products. Any limitation imposed by third-party payers on the use of our products if they are approved for marketing, or any action or decision by CMS or analogous foreign agencies or authorities which for any reason denies coverage or reimbursement for our products or provides coverage or reimbursement at levels that harm our products' competitiveness or leads to lower prices for those products, will have a material negative effect on our ability to sustain

profitability. In certain foreign countries, pricing, coverage, and level of reimbursement of prescription drugs are subject to governmental control, and we and our collaborators may be unable to obtain coverage, pricing, and/or reimbursement on terms that are favorable to us or necessary for us or our collaborators to successfully commercialize our products in those countries. In some foreign countries, the proposed pricing for a drug must be approved before it may be lawfully marketed. The requirements governing drug pricing and reimbursement vary widely from country to country, and may take into account the clinical effectiveness, cost, and service impact of existing, new, and emerging drugs and treatments. For example, the EU provides options for its member states to restrict the range of medicinal products for which their national health insurance systems provide reimbursement and to control the prices of medicinal products for human use. A member state may approve a specific price for the medicinal product or it may instead adopt a system of direct or indirect controls on the profitability of the company placing the medicinal product on the market. Our results of operations may suffer if we or our collaborators are unable to market our products in foreign countries or if coverage and reimbursement for our products in foreign countries is limited or delayed.
We are dependent upon a small number of customers for a significant portion of our revenue, and the loss of or significant reduction in sales to these customers would adversely affect our results of operations.
We sell EYLEA in the United States to several distributors and specialty pharmacies. Under this distribution model, the distributors and specialty pharmacies generally take physical delivery of product and generally sell the product directly to healthcare providers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we recorded 67% and 75%, respectively, of our total gross product revenue from sales to a single distributor, Besse Medical, a subsidiary of AmerisourceBergen Corporation. We expect this significant customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. Our ability to generate and grow sales of EYLEA will depend, in part, on the extent to which our distributors and specialty pharmacies are able to provide adequate distribution of EYLEA to healthcare providers. Although we believe we can find additional distributors, if necessary, our revenue during any period of disruption could suffer and we might incur additional costs. In addition, these customers are responsible for a significant portion of our net trade accounts receivable balances. The loss of any large customer, a significant reduction in sales we make to them, any cancellation of orders they have made with us, or any failure to pay for the products we have shipped to them could adversely affect our results of operations.
Regulatory and Litigation Risks
If the testing or use of our products harms people, or is perceived to harm them even when such harm is unrelated to our products, we could be subject to costly and damaging product liability claims.
The testing, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of drugs for use in people expose us to product liability risk. Any informed consent or waivers obtained from people who enroll in our clinical trials may not protect us from liability or the cost of litigation. We may also be subject to claims by patients who use our approved products, or our product candidates if those product candidates receive regulatory approval and become commercially available, that they have been injured by a side effect associated with the drug. Even in a circumstance in which we do not believe that an adverse event is related to our products or product candidates, the related investigation may be time consuming or inconclusive and may have a negative impact on our reputation or business. We may face product liability claims and be found responsible even if injury arises from the acts or omissions of third parties who provide fill/finish or other services. To the extent we maintain product liability insurance in relevant periods, such insurance may not cover all potential liabilities or may not completely cover any liability arising from any such litigation. Moreover, in the future we may not have access to liability insurance or be able to maintain our insurance on acceptable terms.
If we market and sell approved products in a way that violates federal or state healthcare laws, we may be subject to civil or criminal penalties.
In addition to FDA and related regulatory requirements, we are subject to health care "fraud and abuse" laws, such as the federal False Claims Act, the anti-kickback provisions of the federal Social Security Act, and other state and federal laws and regulations. Federal and state anti-kickback laws prohibit, among other things, payments or other remuneration to induce or reward someone to purchase, prescribe, endorse, or recommend a product that is reimbursed under federal or state healthcare programs. If we provide payments or other remuneration to a healthcare professional to induce the prescribing of our products, we could face liability under state and federal anti-kickback laws.
Federal false claims laws prohibit any person from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false claim for payment to the federal government, or knowingly making, or causing to be made, a false statement to get a false claim paid. Pharmaceutical companies have been prosecuted under these laws for a variety of alleged promotional and marketing activities, such as allegedly providing free product to customers with the expectation that the customers would bill federal programs for the product; reporting to pricing services inflated average wholesale prices that were then used by federal programs to set reimbursement rates; engaging in promotion for uses that the FDA has not approved, known as off-label uses, that caused claims to be submitted to Medicaid for non-covered off-label uses, and submitting inflated best price information to the Medicaid Rebate program. The majority of states also have statutes or regulations similar to the federal anti-kickback law and false claims laws, which apply to items and services

reimbursed under Medicaid and other state programs, or, in several states, apply regardless of the payer. Sanctions under these federal and state laws may include civil monetary penalties, exclusion of a manufacturer's products from reimbursement under government programs, criminal fines, and imprisonment. Even if it is determined that we have not violated these laws, government investigations into these issues typically require the expenditure of significant resources and generate negative publicity, which would harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition. Because of the breadth of these laws and the narrowness of the safe harbors, it is possible that some of our business activities could be challenged under one or more of such laws.
As part of the PPACA, the federal government has enacted provisions imposing reporting and disclosure requirements on pharmaceutical manufacturers for any "transfers of value" made to U.S. prescribers and certain other healthcare providers and teaching hospitals. These statutory provisions and related regulations (commonly known as the "Sunshine Act") require pharmaceutical manufacturers to report such transfers of value annually to the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which in turn aggregates and posts the information on a website managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. We will need to continue to dedicate significant resources to comply with these requirements. The PPACA also includes various provisions designed to strengthen fraud and abuse enforcement, such as increased funding for enforcement efforts and the lowering of the intent requirement of the federal anti-kickback statute and criminal health care fraud statute such that a person or entity no longer needs to have actual knowledge of this statute or specific intent to violate it. In addition, several states and localities, including California, the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, and Vermont, have enacted legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to establish marketing compliance programs, file periodic reports with the state or make periodic public disclosures on sales, marketing, pricing, clinical trials, and other activities. Similar requirements are being considered in other states and already are in effect in a number of jurisdictions outside of the United States. Many of these requirements and standards are new or uncertain, and the penalties for failure to comply with these requirements may be unclear. If we are found not to be in full compliance with these laws, we could face enforcement actions, fines, and other penalties, and could receive adverse publicity, which would harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Risks from the improper conduct of employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators could adversely affect our reputation and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
We cannot ensure that our compliance controls, policies, and procedures will in every instance protect us from acts committed by our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that would violate the laws or regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, including, without limitation, healthcare, employment, foreign corrupt practices, environmental, competition, and patient privacy and other privacy laws and regulations. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations, and monetary and injunctive penalties, and could adversely impact our ability to conduct business, operating results, and reputation.
In particular, our business activities outside of the United States are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, and similar anti-bribery or anti-corruption laws, regulations or rules of other countries in which we operate, including the U.K. Bribery Act. The FCPA generally prohibits offering, promising, giving, or authorizing others to give anything of value, either directly or indirectly, to a non-U.S. government official in order to influence official action, or otherwise obtain or retain business. The FCPA also requires public companies to make and keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect the transactions of the corporation and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls. Our business is heavily regulated and therefore involves significant interaction with public officials, including officials of non-U.S. governments. Additionally, in many other countries, the health care providers who prescribe pharmaceuticals are employed by their government, and the purchasers of pharmaceuticals are government entities; therefore, our dealings with these prescribers and purchasers are subject to regulation under the FCPA. Recently the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, and Department of Justice have increased their FCPA enforcement activities with respect to pharmaceutical companies. There is no certainty that all of our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators, or those of our affiliates, will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, particularly given the high level of complexity of these laws. Violations of these laws and regulations could result in fines, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, requirements to obtain export licenses, cessation of business activities in sanctioned countries, implementation of compliance programs, and prohibitions on the conduct of our business. Any such violations could include prohibitions on our ability to offer our products in one or more countries and could materially damage our reputation, our brand, our international expansion efforts, our ability to attract and retain employees, and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.

Our operations may involve hazardous materials and are subject to environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations. Compliance with these laws and regulations is costly, and we may incur substantial liability arising from our activities involving the use of hazardous materials.
As a biopharmaceutical company with significant research and development and manufacturing operations, we are subject to extensive environmental, health, and safety laws and regulations, including those governing the use of hazardous materials. Our research and development and manufacturing activities involve the controlled use of chemicals, infectious agents (such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi), radioactive compounds, and other hazardous materials. The cost of compliance with environmental, health, and safety regulations is substantial. If an accident involving these materials or an environmental discharge were to occur, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, or face regulatory actions, which could exceed our resources or insurance coverage.
Our business is subject to increasingly complex corporate governance, public disclosure, and accounting requirements and regulations that could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
We are subject to changing rules and regulations of various federal and state governmental authorities as well as the stock exchange on which our Common Stock is listed. These entities, including the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC, have issued a significant number of new and increasingly complex requirements and regulations over the course of the last several years and continue to develop additional requirements and regulations in response to laws enacted by Congress, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and, most recently, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation-related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that expressly authorized or required the SEC to adopt additional rules in these areas, a number of which have yet to be fully implemented. Our efforts to comply with these requirements and regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, an increase in expenses and a diversion of management's time from other business activities.
Changes in laws and regulations affecting the healthcare industry could adversely affect our business.
All aspects of our business, including research and development, manufacturing, marketing, pricing, sales, litigation, and intellectual property rights, are subject to extensive legislation and regulation. Changes in applicable federal and state laws and agency regulations could have a materially negative impact on our business. These include:
changes in the FDA and foreign regulatory processes for new therapeutics that may delay or prevent the approval of any of our current or future product candidates;
new laws, regulations, or judicial decisions related to healthcare availability or the payment for healthcare products and services, including prescription drugs, that would make it more difficult for us to market and sell products once they are approved by the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies;
changes in FDA and foreign regulations that may require additional safety monitoring prior to or after the introduction of new products to market, which could materially increase our costs of doing business; and
changes in FDA and foreign cGMPs that may make it more difficult and costly for us to maintain regulatory compliance and/or manufacture our marketed product and product candidates in accordance with cGMPs.
As described above, the PPACA and potential regulations thereunder easing the entry of competing follow-on biologics into the marketplace, other new legislation or implementation of existing statutory provisions on importation of lower-cost competing drugs from other jurisdictions, and legislation on comparative effectiveness research are examples of previously enacted and possible future changes in laws that could adversely affect our business.
Risks associated with our operations outside of the United States could adversely affect our business.
We have operations and conduct business outside the United States and we plan to expand these activities. Consequently, we are, and will continue to be, subject to risks related to operating in foreign countries, which include:
unfamiliar foreign laws or regulatory requirements or unexpected changes to those laws or requirements;
other laws and regulatory requirements to which our business activities abroad are subject, such as the FCPA and the U.K. Bribery Act (discussed in greater detail above under "Risks from the improper conduct of employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators could adversely affect our reputation and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition");
changes in the political or economic condition of a specific country or region;
fluctuations in the value of foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar;
our ability to deploy overseas funds in an efficient manner;
tariffs, trade protection measures, import or export licensing requirements, trade embargoes, and other trade barriers;
difficulties in attracting and retaining qualified personnel; and
cultural differences in the conduct of business.

We may incur additional tax liabilities related to our operations.
We are subject to income tax in the United States and various foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide tax liabilities, and our effective tax rate is derived from a combination of the applicable statutory rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. We record liabilities that involve significant management judgment for uncertain tax positions. The Internal Revenue Service or other domestic or foreign taxing authorities may disagree with our interpretation of tax law as applied to the operations of Regeneron and its subsidiaries or with the positions we may take with respect to particular tax issues on our tax returns. Consequently, our reported effective tax rate and our after-tax cash flows may be materially and adversely affected by tax assessments or judgments in excess of accrued amounts we have estimated in preparing our financial statements. Further, our effective tax rate may also be adversely affected by numerous other factors, including changes in the mix of our profitability from country to country, the availability of the U.S. research and development tax credit, and changes in tax laws and regulations.
We face potential liability related to the privacy of health information we obtain from research institutions and our collaborators.
Most health care providers, including research institutions from which we or our collaborators obtain patient information, are subject to privacy and security regulations promulgated under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act. For example, as part of our human genetics initiative, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Regeneron Genetics Center LLC, is collaborating with the Geisinger Health System, which is subject to such regulations, and may enter into collaboration arrangements with additional institutions in the future. Regeneron is not a HIPAA-covered entity and our clinical research efforts are not directly regulated by HIPAA, so we are not subject to civil penalties under HIPAA. However, any person may be prosecuted under HIPAA's criminal provisions either directly or under aiding-and-abetting or conspiracy principles. Consequently, depending on the facts and circumstances, we could face substantial criminal penalties if we knowingly receive individually identifiable health information from a HIPAA-covered health care provider or research institution that has not satisfied HIPAA's requirements for disclosure of individually identifiable health information. In addition, international data protection laws, including the EU Data Protection Directive and legislation of the EU member states implementing it, may apply to some or all of the clinical data obtained from our collaborators outside of the U.S. Failure by those collaborators to comply with the strict rules on the transfer of personal data outside of the EU into the U.S. may result in the imposition of criminal and administrative sanctions on such collaborators, which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, certain health privacy laws, data breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, and genetic testing laws may apply directly to our operations and/or those of our collaborators and may impose restrictions on our collection, use, and dissemination of individuals' health information. Moreover, patients about whom we or our collaborators obtain information, as well as the providers who share this information with us, may have statutory or contractual rights that limit our ability to use and disclose the information. Claims that we have violated individuals' privacy rights or breached our contractual obligations, even if we are not found liable, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm our business. 
If we or any collaborators fail to comply with applicable federal, state, or local regulatory requirements, we could be subject to a range of regulatory actions that could affect our or any collaborators' ability to commercialize our products and could harm or prevent sales of any affected products that we are able to commercialize, or could substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing our products. Any threatened or actual government enforcement action could also generate adverse publicity and require that we devote substantial resources that could otherwise be used in other aspects of our business.
Increasing use of social media could give rise to liability, breaches of data security, or reputational damage.
We and our employees are increasingly utilizing social media tools as a means of communication both internally and externally. Despite our efforts to monitor evolving social media communication guidelines and comply with applicable rules, there is risk that the use of social media by us or our employees to communicate about our products or business may cause us to be found in violation of applicable requirements. In addition, our employees may knowingly or inadvertently make use of social media in ways that may not comply with our social media policy or other legal or contractual requirements, which may give rise to liability, lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or result in public exposure of personal information of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and others. Furthermore, negative posts or comments about us or our products in social media could seriously damage our reputation, brand image, and goodwill. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.

Risks Related to Our Reliance on Third Parties
If any of our collaborations with Sanofi is terminated, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to discover, develop, manufacture, and commercialize our pipeline of product candidates in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed.
We rely heavily on funding from Sanofi to support our target discovery and antibody research and development programs, as well as our immuno-oncology research and development programs. Sanofi has committed to reimburse us for up to (i) $405 million of the costs of our efforts to identify and validate drug discovery targets and pre-clinically develop fully human monoclonal antibodies against such targets under our Antibody Discovery Agreement and (ii) $825 million of the costs of our efforts to identify and validate potential immuno-oncology targets and develop fully-human therapeutic antibodies against such targets under the IO Discovery and Development Agreement. Sanofi also initially funds almost all of the development expenses incurred in connection with the clinical development of product candidates (i) that Sanofi elects to co-develop with us under our Antibody Collaboration and (ii) for which Sanofi is the principal controlling party under our IO Collaboration. In addition, Sanofi initially funds half of the development expenses incurred in connection with the clinical development of product candidates for which we are the principal controlling party under our IO Collaboration. We rely on Sanofi to fund these activities. In addition, with respect to those antibodies that Sanofi elects to co-develop with us under our Antibody Collaboration (such as Praluent, sarilumab, and dupilumab) or for which Sanofi is the principal controlling party under our IO Collaboration, we rely on Sanofi to lead much of the clinical development efforts and assist with obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval. Following regulatory approval, we also rely on Sanofi to lead (i) the commercialization efforts to support all of the antibody products that are co-developed by Sanofi and us under our Antibody Collaboration and (ii) the commercialization efforts outside the Unites States to support all products that are co-developed by Sanofi and us under our IO Collaboration (as well as the commercialization efforts in the United States to support all products for which Sanofi is the principal controlling party under our IO Collaboration).
If Sanofi does not elect to co-develop the product candidates that we discover or opts out of their development under our Antibody Collaboration or our IO Collaboration, unless we enter into a collaboration agreement with another party, we would be required to fund and oversee on our own the clinical trials, any regulatory responsibilities, and the ensuing commercialization efforts to support those antibody products. For example, Sanofi has elected not to continue co-development of fasinumab, REGN2222, and REGN1033, and decided not to opt in to the REGN1193, evinacumab, and other programs.
If Sanofi terminates any of the collaborations with us or fails to comply with its payment obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed. We would be required to either expend substantially more resources than we have anticipated to support our research and development efforts, which could require us to seek additional funding that might not be available on favorable terms or at all, or materially cut back on such activities. If Sanofi does not perform its obligations with respect to the product candidates that it elects to co-develop, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize these product candidates will be significantly adversely affected. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities for products commercialized under our Antibody Collaboration, such as Praluent. Termination of our Antibody Collaboration would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development and commercialization of Praluent, particularly outside the United States.

If our collaboration with Bayer HealthCare for EYLEA is terminated, or Bayer HealthCare materially breaches its obligations thereunder, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition, and our ability to continue to develop EYLEA and commercialize EYLEA outside the United States in the time expected, or at all, would be materially harmed.
We rely heavily on Bayer HealthCare to assist with the development, and the commercialization outside the United States, of EYLEA. Under our agreement with them, Bayer HealthCare is required to fund approximately half of the development expenses incurred by both companies in connection with the global EYLEA development program. As the EYLEA program continues, we will continue to rely on Bayer HealthCare to assist with funding the EYLEA development program, continue to lead the development of EYLEA outside the United States, obtain and maintain regulatory approval outside the United States, and provide all sales, marketing, and commercial support for the product outside the United States. In particular, Bayer HealthCare has responsibility for selling EYLEA outside the United States using its sales force and, in Japan, in cooperation with Santen Pharmaceuticals Co. Ltd. pursuant to a Co-Promotion and Distribution Agreement with Bayer HealthCare's Japanese affiliate. We cannot assure you that regulatory approvals will be received for EYLEA in additional indications outside the United States or that EYLEA will be successfully commercialized outside the United States. If Bayer HealthCare and, in Japan, Santen do not perform their obligations in a timely manner, or at all, our ability to develop, manufacture, and commercialize EYLEA outside the United States will be significantly adversely affected. Bayer HealthCare has the right to terminate its collaboration agreement with us at any time upon six or twelve months' advance notice, depending on the circumstances giving rise to termination. If Bayer HealthCare were to terminate its collaboration agreement with us, we would not have the resources or skills to replace those of our collaborator, which could require us to seek additional funding or another collaboration that might not be available on favorable terms or at all, and could cause significant delays in the development and/or commercialization of EYLEA outside the United States and result in substantial additional costs to us. We have limited commercial capabilities outside the United States and would have to develop or outsource these capabilities. Termination of the Bayer HealthCare collaboration agreement would create substantial new and additional risks to the successful development and commercialization of EYLEA, particularly outside the United States.
Our collaborators and service providers may fail to perform adequately in their efforts to support the development, manufacture, and commercialization of our drug candidates and current and future products.
We depend upon third-party collaborators, including Sanofi, Bayer HealthCare, and service providers such as CROs, outside testing laboratories, clinical investigator sites, and third-party manufacturers, fill/finish, and product packagers and labelers, to assist us in the manufacture and preclinical and clinical development of our product candidates. We also depend, or will depend, on some of these third parties in connection with the commercialization of our marketed products and our late-stage product candidates and new indications for our marketed products if they are approved for marketing. If any of our existing collaborators or service providers breaches or terminates its agreement with us or does not perform its development or manufacturing services under an agreement in a timely manner or in compliance with applicable GMPs, GLPs, or GCP Standards, we could experience additional costs, delays, and difficulties in the manufacture or development of, or in obtaining approval by regulatory authorities for, or successfully commercializing our product candidates.
We and our collaborators rely on third-party service providers to support the distribution of our marketed products and for many other related activities in connection with the commercialization of these marketed products. Despite our or our collaborators' arrangements with them, these third parties may not perform adequately. If these service providers do not perform their services adequately, sales of our marketed products will suffer.
Risk Related to Employees
We are dependent on our key personnel and if we cannot recruit and retain leaders in our research, development, manufacturing, and commercial organizations, our business will be harmed.
We are highly dependent on certain of our executive officers, other key members of our senior management team, and our Chairman. If we are not able to retain (or for any other reason lose the services of) any of these persons, our business may suffer. In particular, we depend on the services of P. Roy Vagelos, M.D., the Chairman of our board of directors; Leonard S. Schleifer, M.D., Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer; George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President, Regeneron Laboratories and our Chief Scientific Officer; and Neil Stahl, Ph.D., our Executive Vice President, Research and Development. As we continue to commercialize EYLEA and Praluent and begin to commercialize other products assuming the receipt of required regulatory approvals, we are also highly dependent on the expertise and services of members of our senior management leading these commercialization efforts. There is intense competition in the biotechnology industry for qualified scientists and managerial personnel in the development, manufacture, and commercialization of drugs. We may not be able to continue to attract and retain the qualified personnel necessary to continue to advance our business and achieve our strategic objectives.

Information Technology Risks
Significant disruptions of information technology systems or breaches of data security could adversely affect our business.
Our business is increasingly dependent on critical, complex, and interdependent information technology systems, including Internet-based systems, to support business processes as well as internal and external communications. The size and complexity of our computer systems make us potentially vulnerable to IT system breakdowns, malicious intrusion, and computer viruses, which may result in the impairment of production and key business processes. We also have outsourced significant elements of our information technology infrastructure and operations to third parties, which may provide access to our confidential information to such third parties and may also make our systems vulnerable to service interruptions or to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by such third parties or others.
In addition, our systems are potentially vulnerable to data security breaches - whether by employees or others - which may expose sensitive data to unauthorized persons. Such data security breaches could lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or could lead to the public exposure of personal information (including sensitive personal information) of our employees, clinical trial patients, customers, and others. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives (including industrial espionage) and expertise, including by organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” nation states, and others. As a company with an increasingly global presence, our systems are subject to frequent attacks. Due to the nature of some of these attacks, there is a risk that an attack may remain undetected for a period of time. While we have invested in the protection of data and information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches.
Such disruptions and breaches of security could result in legal proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, disruptions to our operations, and damage to our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Risks Related to Our Financial Results, Liquidity, and Need for Additional Financing
If we cannot sustain profitability, our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition would be materially harmed.
Beginning in the first quarter of 2012, we reported profitability; prior to that, we generally incurred net losses. If we cannot sustain profitability, we may be unable to continue our operations. In the absence of substantial revenue from the sale of products on an ongoing basis, including our sales of EYLEA, and our share of the profits from Bayer HealthCare's sales of EYLEA outside the United States, or from other sources, the amount, timing, nature, or source of which cannot be predicted, we may incur substantial losses again as we conduct our research and development activities, commercialize our approved products, and prepare for possible commercialization of our other product candidates and new indications of our marketed products.
We may need additional funding in the future, which may not be available to us, and which may force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization efforts.
We expend substantial resources for research and development, including costs associated with clinical testing of our product candidates and new indications of our marketed products, the commercialization of products, and capital expenditures. We believe our existing capital resources and borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility, together with funds generated by current and anticipated EYLEA net product sales and funding we are entitled to receive under our collaboration agreements, will enable us to meet our anticipated operating needs for the foreseeable future. However, one or more of our collaboration agreements may terminate, our revenues may fall short of our projections or be delayed, or our expenses may increase, any of which could result in our capital being consumed significantly faster than anticipated. In addition, our expenses may increase for many reasons, including expenses in connection with the commercialization of EYLEA and Praluent and the anticipated commercial launches of our late-stage product candidates and new indications for our marketed products, manufacturing scale-up, expenses related to clinical trials testing of antibody product candidates we are developing on our own (without Sanofi), and expenses related to the requirement, following receipt of the first positive Phase 3 trial results for a co-developed drug candidate, for us to fund 20% of Phase 3 clinical trial costs for any of our antibody product candidates being developed in collaboration with Sanofi.
We cannot be certain that our existing capital resources and our current and anticipated revenues will be sufficient to meet our operating needs. We may require additional financing in the future and we may not be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing could be adversely affected if there is a significant decline in the demand for our products or other significantly unfavorable changes in economic conditions. Volatility in the financial markets could increase borrowing costs or affect our ability to raise capital. If additional financing is necessary and we are able to obtain it through the sale of equity securities, such sales will likely be dilutive to our shareholders. Debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge certain assets or enter into covenants that would restrict our business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness and may be at interest rates and contain other terms that are not favorable to our shareholders. Should we require and be unable

86


Table of Contents

to raise sufficient funds (i) to complete the development of our product candidates, (ii) to successfully commercialize our late-stage product candidates or new indications for our marketed products if they obtain regulatory approval, and (iii) to continue our manufacturing and marketing of EYLEA, we may face delay, reduction, or elimination of our research and development or preclinical or clinical programs and our commercialization activities, which would significantly limit our potential to generate revenue.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.
Our revenue from outside of the United States will increase as our products, whether marketed by us or our collaborators, gain marketing approval in such jurisdictions. Our primary foreign currency exposure relates to movements in the Japanese yen, euro, British pound sterling, and Australian dollar. If the U.S. dollar weakens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will increase, having a positive impact on net income, but our overall expenses will increase, having a negative impact. Likewise, if the U.S. dollar strengthens against a specific foreign currency, our revenues will decrease, having a negative impact on net income, but our overall expenses will decrease, having a positive impact. Therefore, significant changes in foreign exchange rates can impact our operating results and the financial condition of our company.
Our investments are subject to risks and other external factors that may result in losses or affect the liquidity of these investments.
As of September 30, 2015, we had $654.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and $922.4 million in marketable securities (including $27.5 million in equity securities). Our investments consist primarily of fixed-income securities, including investment-grade corporate bonds. These fixed-income investments are subject to external factors that may adversely affect their market value or liquidity, such as interest rate, liquidity, market, and issuer credit risks, including actual or anticipated changes in credit ratings. The equity securities we hold may experience significant volatility and may decline in value or become worthless if the issuer experiences an adverse development. Furthermore, our equity investments could be subject to dilution (and decline in value) as a result of the issuance of additional equity interests. If any of our investments suffer market price declines that are other than temporary, their value could be impaired, which may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Our stock price is extremely volatile.
There has been significant volatility in our stock price and generally in the market prices of biotechnology companies' securities. Various factors and events may have a significant impact on the market price of our Common Stock. These factors include, by way of example:
fluctuations in our operating results, in particular net product sales of EYLEA;
if any of our product candidates or our new indications for our marketed products receive regulatory approval, net product sales of, and profits from, these product candidates and new indications;
market acceptance of, and fluctuations in market share for, our marketed products, especially EYLEA and Praluent;
whether our net products sales and net profits underperform, meet, or exceed the expectations of investors or analysts;
announcement of actions by the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities or their respective advisory committees regarding our, or our collaborators', or our competitors', currently pending or future application(s) for regulatory approval of product candidate(s) or new indications for marketed products;
announcement of submission of an application for regulatory approval of one or more of our, or our competitors', product candidates or new indications for marketed products;
progress, delays, or results in clinical trials of our or our competitors' product candidates or new indications for marketed products;
announcement of technological innovations or product candidates by us or competitors;
claims by others that our products or technologies infringe their patents;
challenges by others to our patents in the European Patent Office and in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;
public concern as to the safety or effectiveness of any of our marketed products or product candidates or new indications for our marketed products;
pricing or reimbursement actions, decisions, or recommendations by government authorities, insurers, or other organizations (such as health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit management companies) affecting the coverage, reimbursement, or use of any of our marketed products or competitors' products;
our ability to raise additional capital as needed on favorable terms;
developments in our relationships with collaborators or key customers;
developments in the biotechnology industry or in government regulation of healthcare, including those relating to compounding;
large sales of our Common Stock by our executive officers, directors, or significant shareholders;

87


Table of Contents

changes in tax rates, laws, or interpretation of tax laws;
arrivals and departures of key personnel;
general market conditions;
other factors identified in these "Risk Factors"; and
the perception by the investment community or our shareholders of any of the foregoing factors.
The trading price of our Common Stock has been, and could continue to be, subject to wide fluctuations in response to these and other factors, including the sale or attempted sale of a large amount of our Common Stock in the market. As discussed in greater detail under "Future sales of our Common Stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings" below, a large percentage of our Common Stock is owned by a small number of our principal shareholders, and our largest shareholder, Sanofi, has been increasing its ownership of our Common Stock. As a result, the public float of our Common Stock (i.e., the portion of our Common Stock held by public investors, as opposed to the Common Stock held by our directors, officers, and principal shareholders) is low relative to many large public companies. As our Common Stock is less liquid than the stock of companies with broader public ownership, its trading price may fluctuate significantly more than the stock market as a whole. These factors may exacerbate the volatility in the trading price of our Common Stock and may negatively impact your ability to liquidate your investment in Regeneron at the time you wish at a price you consider satisfactory. Broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been initiated against companies following periods of volatility in their stock price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources, and could also require us to make substantial payments to satisfy judgments or to settle litigation, which may harm our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.
Future sales of our Common Stock by our significant shareholders or us may depress our stock price and impair our ability to raise funds in new share offerings.
A small number of our shareholders beneficially own a substantial amount of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2015, our five largest shareholders plus Dr. Schleifer, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 47.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the conversion of his Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by him which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, Sanofi beneficially owned 23,016,992 shares of our Common Stock, representing approximately 22.5% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Under our January 2014 amended and restated investor agreement with Sanofi, Sanofi has three demand rights to require us to use all reasonable efforts to conduct a registered underwritten offering with respect to shares of our Common Stock held by Sanofi from time to time; however, shares of our Common Stock held by Sanofi from time to time may not be sold until the later of (i) December 20, 2020 and (ii) the expiration of our Antibody Discovery Agreement with Sanofi relating to our Antibody Collaboration (as amended) if the agreement is extended beyond December 20, 2020. These restrictions on dispositions are subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the consummation of a change-of-control transaction involving us or a dissolution or liquidation of our company. In February 2013, we received from Sanofi a notification under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 that it intends to acquire additional Common Stock through open market purchases and direct purchases from shareholders. In July 2014, Sanofi disclosed in an amendment to its Schedule 13D filed with the SEC its intention to purchase additional shares of our Common Stock to progressively increase its beneficial ownership in 2014 and 2015 up to the maximum allowed under the “standstill” provisions of our amended and restated investor agreement with Sanofi, or 30% of our Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). If Sanofi, our other significant shareholders, or we sell substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, or there is a perception that such sales may occur, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of Common Stock by our significant shareholders, including Sanofi, also might make it more difficult for us to raise funds by selling equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem appropriate.

Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management.
Holders of Class A Stock, who are generally the shareholders who purchased their stock from us before our initial public offering, are entitled to ten votes per share, while holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. As of September 30, 2015, holders of Class A Stock held 15.8% of the combined voting power of all shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock then outstanding. These shareholders, if acting together, would be in a position to significantly influence the election of our directors and the vote on certain corporate transactions that require majority or supermajority approval of the combined classes, including mergers and other business combinations. This may result in our taking corporate actions that other shareholders may not consider to be in their best interest and may affect the price of our Common Stock. As of September 30, 2015:
our current executive officers and directors beneficially owned 10.0% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming conversion of their Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2015, and 21.6% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by such persons which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2015; and
our five largest shareholders plus Dr. Schleifer, our Chief Executive Officer, beneficially owned approximately 47.7% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, assuming, in the case of our Chief Executive Officer, the conversion of his Class A Stock into Common Stock and the exercise of all options held by him which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2015. In addition, these five shareholders plus our Chief Executive Officer held approximately 53.5% of the combined voting power of our outstanding shares of Common Stock and Class A Stock, assuming the exercise of all options held by our Chief Executive Officer which are exercisable within 60 days of September 30, 2015.
Pursuant to the January 2014 amended and restated investor agreement with us, Sanofi has agreed to vote its shares as recommended by our board of directors, except that it may elect to vote proportionally with the votes cast by all of our other shareholders with respect to certain change-of-control transactions and to vote in its sole discretion with respect to liquidation or dissolution of our company, stock issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding shares or voting rights of Common Stock and Class A Stock (taken together), and new equity compensation plans or amendments if not materially consistent with our historical equity compensation practices.
In addition, upon Sanofi reaching 20% ownership of our then outstanding shares of Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together), we are required under the amended and restated investor agreement to appoint an individual agreed upon by us and Sanofi to our board of directors. Subject to certain exceptions, we are required to use our reasonable efforts (including recommending that our shareholders vote in favor) to cause the election of this designee at our annual shareholder meetings for so long as Sanofi maintains an equity interest in us that is the lower of (i) the highest percentage ownership Sanofi attains following its acquisition of 20% of our then outstanding shares of Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) and (ii) 25% of our then outstanding shares of Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This designee is required to be "independent" of our company, as determined under NASDAQ rules, and not to be a current or former officer, director, employee, or paid consultant of Sanofi. In April 2014, Sanofi notified us that it had reached the 20% ownership threshold and designated Robert A. Ingram as its designee. On April 4, 2014, following recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Compliance Committee, the board of directors elected Mr. Ingram as a director and a member of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Ingram was subsequently elected as a Class I director at our 2014 Annual Shareholder Meeting for a term expiring at the 2016 Annual Shareholder Meeting.
The convertible note hedges and warrant transactions we entered into in connection with our convertible senior notes issuance may affect the trading price of our Common Stock.
In connection with our offering of our 1.875% convertible senior notes due October 1, 2016, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with four financial institutions (the hedge counterparties), the purpose of which was to reduce the potential dilution to our Common Stock and/or offset potential cash payments in excess of the principal amount of the notes (as applicable) upon conversion of the notes. In the event that the hedge counterparties fail to deliver shares to us or potential cash payments (as applicable) as required under the convertible note hedge documents, we would not receive the benefit of such transactions. Separately, we also entered into warrant transactions with the hedge counterparties. The warrant transactions could separately have a dilutive effect from the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the warrants. As of September 30, 2015, an aggregate principal amount of $33.1 million of the notes and 2,225,068 warrants (subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in the applicable warrant agreements) remained outstanding.
In connection with hedging these transactions, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates may have entered into various derivative transactions with respect to our Common Stock, and may enter into, or may unwind, various derivative transactions and/or purchase or sell our Common Stock or other securities of ours in secondary market transactions prior to maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so during any conversion period related to any conversion of the notes). These activities could have the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in, or could have a negative effect on, the value of our Common Stock and could have

89


Table of Contents

the effect of increasing or preventing a decline in the value of our Common Stock during any cash settlement averaging period related to a conversion of the notes.
In addition, we intend to continue to exercise options under the convertible note hedge transactions whenever notes are converted. In order to unwind their hedge position with respect to the options we exercise, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates may sell shares of our Common Stock or other securities in secondary market transactions or unwind various derivative transactions with respect to our Common Stock during the cash settlement averaging period for the converted notes. The effect, if any, of any of these transactions and activities on the trading price of our Common Stock or the notes will depend in part on market conditions and cannot be ascertained at this time, but any of these activities could adversely affect the value of our Common Stock and the value of the notes. The derivative transactions that the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates expect to enter into to hedge these transactions may include cash-settled equity swaps referenced to our Common Stock. In certain circumstances, the hedge counterparties and/or their affiliates may have derivative positions that, when combined with the hedge counterparties' and their affiliates' ownership of our Common Stock, if any, would give them economic exposure to the return on a significant number of shares of our Common Stock.
The anti-takeover effects of provisions of our charter, by-laws, and of New York corporate law, as well as the contractual provisions in our investor and collaboration agreements and certain provisions of our compensation plans and agreements and our convertible senior notes and related warrant and hedge transactions, could deter, delay, or prevent an acquisition or other "change in control" of us and could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
Our certificate of incorporation, our by-laws, and the New York Business Corporation Law contain various provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company or our management that shareholders may consider favorable or beneficial. Some of these provisions could discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of our Common Stock. These provisions include:
authorization to issue "blank check" preferred stock, which is preferred stock that can be created and issued by the board of directors without prior shareholder approval, with rights senior to those of our Common Stock and Class A Stock;
a staggered board of directors, so that it would take three successive annual meetings to replace all of our directors;
a requirement that removal of directors may only be effected for cause and only upon the affirmative vote of at least eighty percent (80%) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote for directors, as well as a requirement that any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled only by the remaining directors;
a provision whereby any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting, only if, prior to such action, all of our shareholders consent, the effect of which is to require that shareholder action may only be taken at a duly convened meeting;
a requirement that any shareholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of shareholders must provide timely notice of this intention in writing and meet various other requirements; and
under the New York Business Corporation Law, in addition to certain restrictions which may apply to "business combinations" involving our company and an "interested shareholder," a plan of merger or consolidation of our company must be approved by two-thirds of the votes of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. See the risk factor above captioned "Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management."
Pursuant to the January 2014 amended and restated investor agreement between us and Sanofi, Sanofi is bound by certain "standstill" provisions, which contractually prohibit Sanofi from seeking to directly or indirectly exert control of our company or acquiring more than 30% of our Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This prohibition will remain in place until the earliest of (i) the later of the fifth anniversaries of the expiration or earlier termination of our License and Collaboration Agreement with Sanofi relating to our Antibody Collaboration or our ZALTRAP collaboration agreement with Sanofi, each as amended; (ii) our announcement recommending acceptance by our shareholders of a tender offer or exchange offer that, if consummated, would constitute a change of control involving us; (iii) the public announcement of any definitive agreement providing for a change of control involving us; (iv) the date of any issuance of shares of Common Stock by us that would result in another party having more than 10% of the voting power of our then outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) unless such party enters into a standstill agreement containing certain terms substantially similar to the standstill obligations of Sanofi; or (v) other specified events, such as a liquidation or dissolution of our company.
Similarly, under our 2014 PDGFR-beta license and collaboration agreement with Bayer HealthCare, Bayer HealthCare is prohibited from seeking to influence the control of our company or acquiring more than 20% of our then outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together). This prohibition will remain in place until the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the expiration or earlier termination of the agreement; (ii) the public announcement of a tender offer, exchange offer, or other proposal that would constitute a change of control of our company; (iii) the acquisition (other than by Dr. Schleifer or his affiliates) of more than 20% of the voting power of our then outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together); (iv) the issuance of

shares of capital stock to another party (other than to an underwriter in a public offering) that would result in such party's having more than 7% of the voting power of our then outstanding Class A Stock and Common Stock (taken together) unless such third party enters into a standstill agreement containing terms substantially similar to the standstill obligations of Bayer HealthCare; or (v) other specified events, such as a liquidation or dissolution of our company.
The holders of our convertible senior notes have fundamental change purchase rights, which require us to purchase all or a portion of their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, as defined in the indenture governing the notes. In addition, the indenture contains provisions requiring an increase to the conversion rate for conversions in connection with make-whole fundamental changes. These rights and provisions may in certain circumstances delay or prevent a takeover of us and the removal of incumbent management that might otherwise be beneficial to investors. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain extraordinary events, the hedge transactions would be exercised upon the conversion of notes, and the warrant transactions may be terminated. It is possible that the proceeds we receive upon the exercise of the convertible note hedge transactions would be significantly lower than the amounts we would be required to pay upon termination of the warrant transactions. Such differences may result in the acquisition of us being on terms less favorable to our shareholders than it would otherwise be.
In addition, our Change in Control Severance Plan and the employment agreement with our Chief Executive Officer, each as amended and restated, provide for severance benefits in the event of termination as a result of a change in control of our company. Also, stock options issued under our Second Amended and Restated 2000 Long-Term Incentive Plan and our 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan may become fully vested in connection with a "change in control" of our company, as defined in the plans. Further, under the amended and restated investor agreement between us and Sanofi, we are required under certain circumstances to appoint an individual agreed upon by us and Sanofi to our board of directors and to use our reasonable efforts to cause the election of this designee at our annual shareholder meetings for so long as Sanofi maintains a specified equity interest in us. As described above under "Our existing shareholders may be able to exert significant influence over matters requiring shareholder approval and over our management," a Sanofi designee has served on our board of directors since April 2014. These contractual provisions may also have the effect of deterring, delaying, or preventing an acquisition or other change in control.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In the third quarter of 2015, we settled the conversion of $2.0 million principal amount of our 1.875% convertible senior notes through the payment of $2.0 million in cash (equal to the principal amount of the converted notes) and issuance of 20,218 shares of our Common Stock to the holders of the notes surrendered for conversion. We issued and sold the notes in October 2011 in a private placement in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with this conversion, we exercised a proportionate amount of our convertible note hedges, as a result of which we received from our hedge counterparties 20,212 shares of our Common Stock.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The following table reflects shares of Common Stock withheld by us for employees to satisfy their tax withholding obligations arising upon the vesting of restricted equity awards granted under the Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
THIS IMMUNO-ONCOLOGY DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), dated as of July 1, 2015 (the “Effective Date”), and executed as of July 27, 2015 (the “Execution Date”) is by and between Sanofi Biotechnology SAS (“Sanofi”), a societe par actions simplifee, organized under the laws of France, having a principal place of business at 54, rue La Boétie, 75008 Paris, France, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Sanofi, a company organized under the laws of France with its principal headquarters at 54, rue La Boétie, 75008 Paris, France (“Sanofi Parent”), and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of New York and having a principal place of business at 777 Old Saw Mill River Road, Tarrytown, New York 10591 (“Regeneron”) (with each of Sanofi and Regeneron referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”).
WHEREAS, Regeneron and Sanofi, as successor-in-interest to Aventis Pharmaceuticals Inc., have undertaken a broad therapeutic antibody discovery and development program under that certain Amended and Restated Discovery and Preclinical Development Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2009 (as amended from time-to-time, including in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the “Existing Discovery Agreement”), with the objective of identifying and validating potential drug discovery targets for the purpose of discovering antibody product candidates targeting those targets under the terms set forth in the Existing Discovery Agreement and in the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement (as defined in ARTICLE 1); and
WHEREAS, the Parties are interested in entering into a new collaboration with the objective of Regeneron utilizing its research capabilities and suite of discovery technologies to identify, discover and validate potential drug discovery targets for the purpose of discovering antibody product candidates in the field of immuno-oncology, further developing such antibodies through POC (as defined in ARTICLE 1) and granting Sanofi the co-exclusive (with Regeneron) rights granted to Sanofi hereunder during the term of the IO Discovery Program, including the Tail Period, if any, as well as an option to license certain rights to the resulting antibodies under the terms set forth in this Agreement and in the IO License and Collaboration Agreement (as defined in ARTICLE 1) executed and delivered as of the date hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following mutual promises and obligations, and for other good and valuable consideration the adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:



Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.

The Parties acknowledge that in the case of certain entities organized under the Laws of certain countries outside of the United States, the maximum percentage ownership permitted by Law for a foreign investor may be less than fifty percent (50%), and that in such case such lower percentage shall be substituted in the preceding sentence; provided, that such foreign investor has the power to direct the management and policies of such entity. For purposes of this Agreement, in no event shall Sanofi or any of Sanofi’s Affiliates be deemed Affiliates of Regeneron or any of Regeneron’s Affiliates nor shall Regeneron or any of Regeneron’s Affiliates be deemed Affiliates of Sanofi or any of Sanofi’s Affiliates.

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.



Combination Therapy” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2.10(a).
Commercially Reasonable Efforts” shall mean the carrying out of obligations or tasks by a Party in a sustained manner using good faith commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, which efforts shall be consistent with the exercise of prudent scientific and business judgment in accordance with the efforts such Party devotes to products or research or development projects owned by it of similar scientific and commercial potential. Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall be determined on an IO Discovery Program Target Profile-by-IO Discovery Program Target Profile and IO Discovery Program Antibody-by-IO Discovery Program Antibody basis in view of conditions prevailing at the time, and evaluated taking into account all relevant factors, including the possibility that significant increases in the CPI over the Term will lead to an increase in the cost of external services and a reduction in the number of FTEs funded under the IO Discovery Program. It is anticipated that the level of effort constituting Commercially Reasonable Efforts may change over time. In determining whether a Party has used Commercially Reasonable Efforts, neither the payments made or required to be made hereunder nor the profit sharing anticipated by the IO License and Collaboration Agreement shall be a factor weighed (that is, a Party may not apply lesser resources or efforts in support of an IO Discovery Program Antibody because it must make any payments hereunder or share profits from sales of such IO Discovery Program Antibody if Sanofi exercises its Opt-In Rights thereto). In no event shall Regeneron be required to incur Program Costs in excess of the IO Discovery Budget during the Discovery Budget Term or the Tail Period Budget (if any) during the Tail Period (if any).
Competing Refused Candidate” shall mean any Refused Candidate [***].

Following receipt of FDA Breakthrough Designation for a Product Candidate, if (i) Regeneron has not provided an Initial Opt-In Report for such Product Candidate or (ii) Regeneron has provided an Initial Opt-In Report, Sanofi has timely provided Regeneron with a Deferral Notice, and Regeneron has not provided a Deferred Opt-In Report with respect to such Product Candidate, then in either case ((i) or (ii)) Regeneron shall have the right to provide Sanofi with a written report (a “Breakthrough Opt-In Report”) containing all information of the type that would be required to be set forth in (x) an Initial Opt-In Report for such Product Candidate, if Regeneron has not previously provided to Sanofi an Initial Opt-In Report in respect of such Product Candidate pursuant to Section 5.2(a), or (y) a Deferred Opt-In Report for such Product Candidate, if Regeneron has previously provided to Sanofi an Initial Opt-In Report in respect of such Product Candidate pursuant to Section 5.2(a). Sanofi has the right to exercise its Opt-In Rights with respect to such Product Candidate by delivering to Regeneron an Opt-In Notice during the period following Sanofi’s receipt of the Breakthrough Opt-In Report for such Product Candidate and ending on the earlier to occur of (A) the end of the [***] period following Sanofi’s receipt of the Breakthrough Opt-In Report, and (B) if Regeneron has provided to Sanofi a Deferred Opt-In Report in respect of such Product Candidate pursuant to Section 5.2(c), the end of the Deferred Opt-In Period (such period, as it may be extended as provided in this Section 5.2(d), the “Breakthrough Opt-In Period”). During the Breakthrough Opt-In Period, Regeneron shall also promptly provide, if, as and when available, Sanofi with all new material information of the type required to be set forth in the Initial Opt-In Report regarding the Product Candidate, and any other material information regarding the Product Candidate that Sanofi reasonably requests to the extent in Regeneron’s possession and control or in Regeneron’s control and accessible by Regeneron consistent with Regeneron’s regular business practices. If Sanofi receives material information regarding the Product Candidate on or after the date that is ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration of the Breakthrough Opt-In Period, the Breakthrough Opt-In Period shall be extended by an additional ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the original Breakthrough Opt-In Period and Sanofi shall be permitted to deliver an Opt-In Notice during such extension. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2, if Sanofi does not exercise its Opt-In Rights with respect to such Product Candidate within the Breakthrough Opt-In Period, Sanofi shall be deemed to have provided an Opt-Out (as defined below) with respect to such Product Candidate, and such Product Candidate shall immediately become a Refused Candidate pursuant to Section 5.3.
(e)    Effect of Exercise of Sanofi’s Opt-In Rights with respect to Product Candidates. If Sanofi properly exercises its Opt-In Rights with respect to a Product Candidate (but not, for clarity, a Tail Early Offer Antibody) by delivering an Opt-In Notice (a “Non-Tail Opt-In Notice”) during the Initial Opt-In Period (or the Deferred Opt-In Period or Breakthrough Opt-In Period, if and as applicable) therefor, then such Product Candidate shall, from and after the first day of the month in which Sanofi’s delivers such Non-Tail Opt-In Notice for such Product Candidate, as applicable, be deemed an IO Licensed Product under

the IO License and Collaboration Agreement for all Indications, including any Non-IO Indication. For clarity, in the event that Sanofi exercises its Opt-In Rights by delivering a Non-Tail Opt-In Notice during the Initial Opt-In Period, Deferred Opt-In Period, or Breakthrough Opt-In Period, if and as applicable, therefor, all costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron with respect to such Product Candidate following the delivery of the Initial Opt-In Report or, if earlier, the delivery of the Breakthrough Opt-In Report, and prior to first day of the month in which Sanofi delivers such Non-Tail Opt-In Notice shall be treated as Program Costs and counted against the IO Discovery Budget or the Tail Period Budget, as applicable, and all costs and expenses incurred after such first day shall be treated as Development Costs under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement; provided that Regeneron may continue to incur Program Costs in respect of such Product Candidate after receipt of Sanofi’s Non-Tail Opt-In Notice solely to the extent provided by Section 5.5. For clarity, (i) if Sanofi Opts-In to a Product Candidate (but not, for clarity, a Tail Early Offer Antibody), Regeneron shall have the right to develop, under the IO Discovery Program, [***], and (ii) if Sanofi Opts-Out with respect to any Product Candidate or any Tail Early Offer Antibody developed under the IO Discovery Program, Regeneron shall have the right to develop and commercialize such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody as a Refused Candidate pursuant and subject to Section 2.5(d) and Section 5.3(b).
(f)    Tail Early Opt-In Period; Effect of Exercise of Sanofi’s Opt-In Rights with respect to Tail Early Offer Antibodies.
(i)    At such time that is [***] prior to the Tail Expiration Date (such date of notice, the “Tail Expiration Notice Date”), Regeneron shall provide Sanofi with written notice (a “Tail Expiration Notice”) containing a list of the Tail Period Antibodies for which, prior to the Tail Expiration Notice Date, [***] (each, a “Tail Early Offer Antibody”). Sanofi shall thereafter have the right, for a period of [***] after delivery of the Tail Expiration Notice, to provide a written notice to Regeneron requesting a summary of the material information with respect to any Tail Early Offer Antibody with respect to which Sanofi has a good faith interest in exercising its Opt-In Rights, and Regeneron shall, within [***] after receipt of Sanofi’s written request, provide a report containing any such information to the extent not previously made available to Sanofi and in Regeneron’s possession and control or in Regeneron’s control and accessible by Regeneron consistent with Regeneron’s regular business practices (a “Tail Early Opt-In Report”), together with a plan for the continued POC Development of such Tail Early Offer Antibody until the achievement of POC together with an associated budget (a “Tail Early Opt-In Development Plan”). Sanofi shall thereafter have the right to exercise its Opt-In Rights with respect to any Tail Early Offer Antibody for which Regeneron has provided a Tail Early Opt-In Report by delivering to Regeneron an Opt-In Notice within the [***] period following Sanofi’s receipt of the Tail Early Opt-In Report, but in no event later than the Tail Expiration Date (such period, the “Tail Early Opt-In Period”). Any Tail Early Offer Antibody with respect to which Sanofi provides an Opt-In Notice during the Tail Early Opt-In Period pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) shall be referred to herein as a “Tail Early Opt-In Antibody”. Any Tail Early Offer Antibody with respect to

42

which Sanofi does not provide an Opt-In Notice during the Tail Early Opt-In Period pursuant to this Section 5.2(f) shall become a Refused Candidate pursuant to Section 5.3.
(ii)    If Sanofi properly exercises its Opt-In Rights with respect to a Tail Early Offer Antibody during the Tail Early Opt-In Period for such Tail Early Offer Antibody, then such Tail Early Offer Antibody shall, from and after the Tail Expiration Date, be deemed an IO Licensed Product under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement for all Indications, including any Non-IO Indication; provided that (A) Regeneron shall continue to have the right to conduct POC Development in respect of such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody under the applicable Tail Early Opt-In Development Plan under this Agreement, and shall remain subject to the same reporting obligations pursuant to Section 3.4 with respect to such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody as Regeneron would be obligated with respect to an IO Discovery Program Antibody for so long as Regeneron is conducting such POC Development under such Tail Early Opt-In Development Plan, and (B) Regeneron’s costs and expenses in respect thereof (“Tail Early Opt-In Costs”) shall be reimbursed by Sanofi to Regeneron pursuant to Section 4.1(b) of this Agreement and shall not constitute Development Costs under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement except as provided in this Section 5.2(f)(ii). Upon such time as a Tail Early Opt-In Antibody first becomes a Product Candidate (for clarity, Sanofi shall not have the right to provide a Deferral Notice for any IO Antibody after the Tail Expiration Note Date), Regeneron will provide Sanofi with a written report containing all information of the type that would be required to be included in an Initial Opt-In Report if such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody was a Product Candidate, including, for clarity, a Post-POC Development Plan with respect thereto (a “Tail POC Report”). Upon such time as Regeneron delivers a Tail POC Report with respect to a Tail Early Opt-In Antibody, the Post-POC Principal Party for such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody shall be selected in accordance with Section 5.2 of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement as if such Tail Offer Opt-In Antibody became an IO Licensed Product at the time that Regeneron delivered such Tail POC Report (and not, for clarity, as if such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody became an IO Licensed Product as of the Tail Expiration Date). [***], Regeneron shall provide Sanofi with written notice thereof (a “Tail Early Opt-In Termination Notice”), but shall not be required to deliver a Tail POC Report with respect to such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody. Upon delivery of such notice by Regeneron, such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody shall become a Refused Candidate. All costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron with respect to a Tail Early Opt-In Antibody from and after the first day of the month in which the Tail POC Report is delivered to Sanofi for such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody shall be treated as Development Costs under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement; provided that Regeneron may continue to incur Tail Early Opt-In Costs in respect of such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody after delivery of the Tail POC Report solely to the extent provided in Section 5.4 or Section 5.5.
(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2(f) shall not apply with respect to any Product Candidate for which Regeneron has provided an Initial Opt‑In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(a), a Deferred Opt-In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(c), or Breakthrough Op-In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(d).

(g)    Post-POC Plan Disputes.
(i)    If Sanofi would be the Post-POC Principal Party with respect to a Product Candidate for which Regeneron delivers an Initial Opt‑In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(a), and Sanofi wishes to modify the Post-POC Development Plan contained in such Initial Opt-In Report, then Sanofi may [***].
(ii)    If Sanofi would be the Post-POC Principal Party with respect to a Product Candidate for which Regeneron delivers a Deferred Opt‑In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(c), and Sanofi wishes to modify the Post-POC Development Plan contained in such Deferred Opt-In Report, then Sanofi may [***].
(iii)    If Sanofi would be the Post-POC Principal Party with respect to a Product Candidate for which Regeneron delivers a Breakthrough Opt‑In Report pursuant to Section 5.2(d), and Sanofi wishes to modify the Post-POC Development Plan contained in such Breakthrough Opt-In Report, and (A) such Breakthrough Opt-In Report is delivered prior to the delivery of an Initial Opt-In Report with respect to such Product Candidate, or (B) such Breakthrough Opt-In Report is delivered after the delivery of an Initial Opt-In Report with respect to such Product Candidate and Sanofi has previously provided a Deferral Notice but Regeneron has not provided a Deferred Opt-In Report with respect to such Product Candidate, then, in either case ((A) or (B)), Sanofi may [***].
(iv)    Any matter submitted to the IOSC pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.2(g)(i), Section 5.2(g)(ii) or Section 5.2(g)(iii) shall be referred to herein as a “Post-POC Plan Dispute”. In the event that the IOSC is not able to resolve a Post-POC Plan Dispute referred to it within [***] after such matter is first so referred, such Post-POC Plan Dispute shall be referred to the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 13.3 and the Parties shall use diligent and good faith efforts to cause the completion of any such dispute process as soon as reasonably practicable.
(v)    In the event that [***] at least [***] prior to the expiry of the Opt-In Period during which Sanofi [***] (the “Applicable Opt-In Period”), then such Applicable Opt-In Period shall be extended such that it expires [***]; provided, that if any Post-POC Plan Dispute is not fully resolved in accordance with Section 13.3 at least [***] prior to the expiration of such [***] period, and such failure or delay is caused by (1) any failure by Regeneron to appoint an individual to the Expert Panel pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(ii) within the time period specified therein, or to submit to the Expert Panel Regeneron’s proposed version of the Disputed Plan Components pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(viii) within the time period specified therein, or (2) any failure by the two individuals appointed to the Expert Panel by Regeneron and Sanofi to agree on an additional expert pursuant to Section 13.3(b)(iii) within the time period specified therein, then the Extended Opt-In Period shall be further extended by the number of days of delay beyond the time periods referenced in clauses (1) and (2) resulting from the failures identified therein; except in each case to the extent that any such failure or delay is attributable to any act or omission by Sanofi or its Affiliates. To the extent that the

Expert Panel does not render a decision at least [***] prior to the expiration of the Extended Opt-In Period, and solely to the extent that such failure is not attributable to any act or omission by Sanofi or its Affiliates, then the Extended Opt-In Period shall be further extended by [***]. For clarity, the foregoing shall not limit the Parties obligations under Section 5.2(g)(iv) or Section 13.3(b).
(vi)    In the event that a Post-POC Plan Dispute with respect to a Product Candidate is not fully resolved within the last-to-expire of the Initial Opt-In Period, Deferred Opt-In Period, Breakthrough Opt-In Period, or Extended Opt-In Period, if and as applicable, and (A) Sanofi timely provides an Opt-In Notice for such Product Candidate, then such Product Candidate shall become an IO Licensed Product pursuant to Section 5.2(e) and the most recent Post-POC Development Plan provided by Regeneron in the latest Opt-In Report provided with respect to such Product Candidate shall be the Post-POC Development Plan for such Product Candidate under the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, or (B) Sanofi fails to timely provide an Opt-In Notice for such Product Candidate, then Sanofi shall be deemed to have provided an Opt-Out with respect to such Product Candidate and Section 5.3 shall apply.
5.3    Refused Candidates. If (v) Regeneron has provided an Initial Opt-In Report with respect to a Product Candidate and Sanofi fails to exercise its Opt-In Rights with respect to such Product Candidate during the Initial Opt-In Period (if any) therefor (or to provide a Deferral Notice within thirty (30) days, or to provide a Post-POC Plan Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days, after receipt of an Initial Opt-In Report therefor), (w) Sanofi has timely provided a Deferral Notice with respect to a Product Candidate but fails to exercise its Opt-In Rights during the Deferred Opt-In Period, or Extended Opt-In Period (if and as applicable) therefor, (x) Regeneron has provided a Breakthrough Opt-In Report with respect to a Product Candidate and Sanofi fails to exercise its Opt-In Rights within the Breakthrough Opt-In Period or Extended Opt-In Period (if and as applicable) therefor, (y) Regeneron has provided a Tail Expiration Notice with respect to one or more Tail Early Offer Antibodies and Sanofi fails to exercise its Opt-In Rights within the Tail Early Opt-In Period therefor, or (z) if Sanofi notifies Regeneron in writing that it will not exercise its Opt-In Rights with respect to a Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody during the Initial Opt-In Period (or the Deferred Opt-In Period, the Breakthrough Opt-In Period, the Tail Offer Opt-In Period or the Extended Opt-In Period, if and as applicable) therefor (each such action or inaction described in clauses (v)-(z) (inclusive), an “Opt-Out”), then, in each such case, the following shall apply:
(a)    Refused Candidate. Sanofi’s Opt-In Rights shall expire with respect to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody, and such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody shall automatically become a “Refused Candidate” hereunder. All licenses granted in Section 2.7 shall automatically expire with respect to each Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody upon such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody becoming a Refused Candidate. Following such time as a Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody becomes a Refused Candidate, Sanofi shall no longer have any rights to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody under this Agreement or the IO License and Collaboration Agreement. If Sanofi Opts-Out with respect to a Product Candidate prior to

the Budget Expiration Date (or, if such Product Candidate is a Tail Period Antibody, prior to the Tail Expiration Date), Regeneron may continue using funds in the IO Discovery Budget (or if such Product Candidate is a Tail Period Antibody, the Tail Period Budget) for the costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron and its Affiliates (to the extent such costs and expenses would or do constitute Program Costs) (x) in connection with the development of such Product Candidate following delivery of the Opt-In Report until such time as Sanofi Opts-Out with respect to such Product Candidate, subject to Section 5.5, and (y) in connection with winding down such activities in accordance with applicable Law (to the extent they are actually wound down as required by Law or ethical considerations) or if applicable Law or ethical considerations dictate that such activities continue, the conduct of such activities, in each case from and after such Opt-Out. Except as provided in this Section 5.3(a), any costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron or its Affiliates in connection with the development of a Refused Candidate following Opt-Out shall not constitute Program Costs hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement, upon such time as a Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody becomes a Refused Candidate, such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody shall automatically become an “Excluded Candidate” under the Existing Discovery Agreement. For [***] Regeneron shall not owe any royalty or other payments to Sanofi under any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement with respect to any such Refused Candidate.
(b)    Regeneron Rights. Regeneron may (i) continue to develop, manufacture and commercialize (on its own or with one or more Third Parties) any Refused Candidate without restriction outside of this Agreement and any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement unless the Refused Candidate is a Competing Refused Candidate, in which case, Section 2.5(d) shall apply, and (ii) practice and use [***]. For clarity, subject to Section 2.10, Regeneron may continue to develop and commercialize such IO Antibodies for use with one (1) or more other IO Antibodies (including IO Antibodies controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates or by other Persons).
(c)    Sanofi Rights and Obligations. Neither Sanofi nor its Affiliates, either directly, or with or through any Third Party, may develop or commercialize (i) any Refused Candidate or (ii) any IO Antibody that targets the same IO Target Profile as such Refused Candidate, other than Excluded Candidates that were External Candidates for which Sanofi was the Offering Party that did not [***], until the later of [***], and any such IO Antibody shall be referred to herein as a “Sanofi Restricted Antibody” for [***]; provided, that (1) if, as a result of [***], then such IO Antibodies shall cease to be Sanofi Restricted Antibodies upon the [***], and such restriction shall not apply, and Sanofi and its Affiliates shall be free to develop [***], during and after such period, or (2) with respect to any Tail Early Offer Antibody that becomes a Refused Candidate (I) pursuant to Section 5.2(f)(i), if Regeneron [***] at least [***] after [***], or (II) pursuant to Section 5.2(f)(ii), then, without limiting Sanofi’s obligations with respect to any other Refused Candidate [***], such [***] will no longer apply with respect to such [***]. For clarity, any IO Antibody that [***] that was listed on Schedule 1 as of the Execution Date shall not, at any time during the Term or thereafter be considered an IO Discovery Program Antibody or a Refused Candidate under this Agreement.

5.4    Additional Development Prior to Opt-In. From and after Regeneron’s delivery to Sanofi of an Initial Opt-In Report, Deferred Opt-In Report, Breakthrough Opt-In Report or Tail Early Opt-In Report with respect to a Product Candidate or a Tail Early Offer Antibody until Sanofi’s exercise of its Opt-In Rights (or an Opt-Out) with respect to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody, [***]. After delivery of an Initial Opt-In Report or, if earlier, a Breakthrough Opt-In Report or Tail Early Opt-In Report with respect to a Product Candidate or a Tail Early Offer Antibody, as applicable, to Sanofi and prior to Sanofi exercising its Opt-In Rights (or an Opt-Out) with respect to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody, as applicable:
(a)    Regeneron shall have the right to continue (or commence) any and all research and development activities that constitute POC Development (for the avoidance of doubt, other than Phase III Clinical Trials) with respect to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody, including with respect to [***], in each case, under the IO Discovery Program using the IO Discovery Budget or, with respect to (i) a Product Candidate that is a Tail Period Antibody or (ii) a Tail Early Offer Antibody, the Tail Period Budget; and
(b)    Regeneron may, with the prior consent of Sanofi, conduct development activities with respect to such Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody that do not constitute POC Development but are reasonably intended to support or enable post-POC activities, including with respect to [***], in each case, under the IO Discovery Program using the IO Discovery Budget or, with respect to a Product Candidate that is a Tail Period Antibody or a Tail Early Offer Antibody, the Tail Period Budget; provided, that (i) if Sanofi Opts-In with respect to a Product Candidate, the costs of such development activities shall be handled in accordance with Section 5.2(e), (ii) if Sanofi Opts-In with respect to a Tail Early Offer Antibody, the costs of such development activities shall be handled in accordance with Section 5.2(f), and (iii) if Sanofi Opts-Out with respect to the Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody, the costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron and its Affiliates (to the extent such costs and expenses would or do constitute Program Costs) in connection with winding down such activities in accordance with applicable Law (to the extent they are actually wound down as required by Law or ethical considerations) or if applicable Law or ethical considerations dictate that such activities continue, the conduct of such activities, shall be funded under the IO Discovery Budget or the Tail Period Budget, as applicable, and Regeneron shall be solely responsible for any other costs associated with such development activities outside of the IO Discovery Program.
(c)    In the event of a Post-POC Plan Dispute with respect to a Post-POC Development Plan and a Product Candidate, Regeneron [***]. If Sanofi exercises its Opt-In Rights with respect to a Product Candidate for which Regeneron has initiated or conducted portions of the Post-POC Development Plan pursuant to this Section 5.4(c), and thereafter Sanofi requests that Regeneron transfer the conduct of one or more of such activities to Sanofi, Regeneron and Sanofi shall work together in good faith to promptly transition such activities in a smooth and orderly manner.

5.5    Additional Development Following Opt-In. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, from and after the date that Regeneron receives an Opt-In Notice from Sanofi with respect to a Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody (in each case, which shall thereupon become an IO Licensed Product) or delivers a Tail POC Report to Sanofi with respect to such Tail Early Opt-In Antibody, Regeneron shall have the right to continue any POC Development clinical trials for such IO Licensed Products that have commenced (i.e., first patient first visit has occurred) at the time of Regeneron receives the applicable Opt-In Notice, and the costs and expenses of such post-Opt-In Notice clinical trials shall be treated as Program Costs and counted against the IO Discovery Budget or the Tail Period Budget, as applicable; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that this Section 5.5 shall not apply to REGN2810.
5.6    Rights with respect to IO Antibodies that are also non-IO Antibodies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, but subject to Section 5.3(a) of this Agreement, in the event that Sanofi exercises its opt-in rights under the Existing Discovery Agreement with respect to a Multi-Indication Antibody that targets an IO Target Profile, and such Multi-Indication Antibody becomes a Licensed Product under the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement, such Multi-Indication Antibody shall automatically cease to be an IO Antibody (and an IO Discovery Program Antibody, Tail Period Antibody or Tail Early Offer Antibody, if and as applicable) under this Agreement and shall instead be governed by the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement, and any ongoing costs and expenses in connection with such Multi-Indication Antibody shall be reimbursed by Sanofi under the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Existing Discovery Agreement, if any Multi-Indication Antibody becomes a “Refused Candidate” (as defined in the Existing Discovery Agreement) pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Existing Discovery Agreement, Regeneron shall have the right to develop such Multi-Indication Antibody for any Non-IO Indication outside of the IO Discovery Program at its own cost and expense.
5.7    Further Assurances and Transaction Approvals in Connection with Opt-In.  Sanofi shall specify in each Opt-In Notice provided with respect to a Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody pursuant to this Article 5 whether, in Sanofi’s reasonable opinion, the Parties would be required by applicable Law to file with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, any notification and report form under the HSR Act (an “HSR Filing”) with respect to the exercise of Sanofi’s Opt-In Rights with respect to the applicable Product Candidate or Tail Early Offer Antibody.  The Parties will cooperate with one another to the extent necessary in the preparation of any such HSR Filing.  Sanofi shall be responsible for the filing fees associated with any such HSR Filing.  The Parties shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or any applicable comparable foreign law in the Territory expires or is terminated as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.7 shall require (a) either Party to disclose to the other Party any information that is subject to obligations of confidentiality owed to Third Parties (nor shall either Party be required to conduct joint meetings with any Governmental Authority in which such information might be shared with the other Party), or (b) either Party or any of its Affiliates to commit to any

(b)    With respect to any Joint Patent Rights, the Parties shall consult with each other regarding the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Patents and Patent Applications, and responsibility for such activities shall be the obligation of Regeneron.  Regeneron shall undertake such filings, prosecutions and maintenance in the names of both Parties as co-owners using outside counsel reasonably acceptable to Sanofi, except, at Regeneron’s option, all provisional applications, priority applications and PCT applications [***].  
(c)    The Parties shall have the following obligations with respect to the filing, prosecution and maintenance of any Joint Patent Rights, as well as any Product Patent Rights: (i) the prosecuting Party (the “Prosecuting Party”) shall provide the other Party (the “Non-Prosecuting Party”) with notice and a copy of a substantially completed draft of any Patent Application at least thirty (30) days prior to the filing of any such Patent Application by the Prosecuting Party and incorporate all reasonable comments provided by the Non-Prosecuting Party within such thirty (30) day period unless the Prosecuting Party reasonably believes that such comments will adversely affect the scope or validity of the Patent Application or resulting Patent (it being understood that the Parties will discuss any points of disagreement and work to resolve disagreements during this thirty (30) day period); (ii) the Prosecuting Party shall notify the Non-Prosecuting Party prior to its filing of a Patent Application; (iii) the Prosecuting Party shall consult with the Non-Prosecuting Party promptly following the filing of the Patent Application to mutually determine in which countries it shall file any Patent Applications claiming priority to the filed Patent application, including Patent applications filed under the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property claiming priority to the filed Patent Application or any regional or national phase Patent Applications derived from an international (PCT) Patent Application claiming priority to the filed Patent Application; (iv) the Prosecuting Party shall provide the Non-Prosecuting Party promptly with copies of all material communications received from or filed in patent offices with respect to such applications and incorporate all reasonable comments provided by the Non-Prosecuting Party, unless the Prosecuting Party reasonably believes that such comments will adversely affect the validity or scope of the Patent Application or resulting Patent for both Parties; and (v) the Prosecuting Party shall provide the Non-Prosecuting Party a reasonable time prior to taking or failing to take action that would affect the scope or validity of rights under any Patent Applications or Patents, but (unless the period permitted by the applicable patent office for taking an action is less than sixty (60) days) in no event less than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with the applicable patent office (including substantially narrowing or canceling any claim without reserving the right to file a continuing or divisional Patent Application, abandoning any Patent or not filing or

perfecting the filing of any Patent Application in any country), with notice of such proposed action or inaction such that the Non-Prosecuting Party has a reasonable opportunity to review and make comments, and take such actions as may be appropriate in the circumstances, including assuming the Prosecuting Party’s responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such Product Patent Right or Joint Patent Right and becoming the Prosecuting Party. With respect to Joint Inventions, it is understood that the Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement on all material filings and amendments and no such material filings or amendments shall be made by the Prosecuting Party without the prior written agreement of the Non-Prosecuting Party, such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, in the event that the Prosecuting Party materially breaches the foregoing obligations and such material breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of a written notice from the Non-Prosecuting Party describing such breach in reasonable detail, or in the event that the Prosecuting Party fails to undertake the filing of a Patent Application within the earlier of (A) ninety (90) days of a written request by the Non-Prosecuting Party to do so, and (B) sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated filing date, the Non-Prosecuting Party may assume the Prosecuting Party’s responsibility for filing, prosecution and maintenance of any such Product Patent Right and will thereafter be deemed the Prosecuting Party for purposes hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Prosecuting Party may withdraw from, abandon or allow to expire any Patent or Patent Application on thirty (30) days’ prior notice to the Non-Prosecuting Party (provided, that such notice shall be given no later than sixty (60) days prior to the next deadline for any action that may be taken with respect to such Patent or Patent Application with the applicable patent office), providing the Non-Prosecuting Party the right to assume the prosecution or maintenance thereof.
(d)    All costs and expenses incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance, including any administrative proceedings, such as Inter Partes Reviews and Oppositions, of any Joint Patent Rights and Product Patent Rights and in performing freedom to operate analyses on IO Target Profiles (including any Targets contained therein) or IO Discovery Program Antibodies shall be shared equally (50%/50%) by the Parties.
(e)    Neither Party shall have the right to invoke the Cooperative Research and Technology Enhancement Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-453, 118 Stat. 3596 (2004)) (the “CREATE Act”) by making filings or undertaking other activities under pre-AIA (Leahy-Smith America Invents Act), 35 U.S.C. § 103(c)(2)-(c)(3), or post-AIA, 35 U.S.C. § 102(c), with respect to Joint Inventions, without the prior written consent of the other Party. In the event that a Party intends to so invoke the CREATE Act, as permitted by the preceding sentence, it shall notify the other Party and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and coordinate their activities with respect to any such submissions, filings or other activities.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in the CREATE Act, pre-AIA, 35 U.S.C. § 103(c)(2)-(c)(3), and post-AIA, 35 U.S.C. § 102(c).

ARTICLE 9
CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1    Confidential Information. During the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, each Party (in such capacity, the “Receiving Party”) shall keep confidential, and other than as provided herein or in the IO License and Collaboration Agreement, shall not use or disclose, directly or indirectly, any and all trade secrets or other proprietary information, including, any proprietary data, inventions, documents, ideas, information, discoveries, or materials, owned, developed, or possessed by the other Party (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”), whether in tangible or intangible form, the confidentiality of which the Disclosing Party takes reasonable measures to protect, including Regeneron Know-How and Sanofi Know-How disclosed by the Disclosing Party under this Agreement or the Existing Discovery Agreement (collectively, the “Confidential Information”). Each of Sanofi and Regeneron covenants that neither it nor any of its respective Affiliates shall disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party to any Third Party except to its employees, agents, consultants or any other Person under its authorization; provided, that such employees, agents, consultants or other Persons are subject in writing to confidentiality obligations applicable to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information no less strict than those set forth herein.
(a)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include information and materials (and such information and materials shall not be considered Confidential Information under this Agreement) to the extent that it can be established by written documentation by the Receiving Party that such information or material is: (i) already in the public domain as of the Effective Date or becomes publicly known through no act, omission or fault of the Receiving Party or any Person to whom the Receiving

56

Party provided such information; (ii) is or was already in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party; provided, that this clause (ii) shall not apply with respect to Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party prior to the Effective Date; (iii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party on an unrestricted basis from a Third Party not under an obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party or any Affiliate of the Disclosing Party with respect to such information; or (iv) information that has been independently created by the Receiving Party (or its Affiliate), as evidenced by written or electronic documentation, without any aid, application or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is made in response to a valid order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other supra-national, federal, national, regional, state, provincial and local governmental or regulatory body of competent jurisdiction or, if in the reasonable opinion of the Receiving Party, such disclosure is otherwise required by Law, including any securities Laws; provided, that the Receiving Party (i) uses reasonable efforts to give the Disclosing Party advance notice of such required disclosure in sufficient time to enable the Disclosing Party to seek confidential treatment for such information, and provides all reasonable cooperation to assist the Disclosing Party to so protect the confidentiality of such information and (ii) limits the disclosure to that information which is legally required to be disclosed in response to such court or governmental order.
(c)    Information and other Know-How that is discovered by Regeneron in the course of conducting the IO Discovery Program (other than Sanofi Funded Trials) will be considered Regeneron’s Confidential Information, except to the extent it relates to an IO Licensed Product, in which case it shall be Confidential Information of both Parties, subject to the terms of the IO License and Collaboration Agreement or a Sanofi Funded Trial conducted by Regeneron, in which case it shall be Confidential Information of both Parties.
(d)    Specific aspects or details of Confidential Information will not be deemed to be within the public knowledge or in the prior possession of a Person merely because such aspects or details of the Confidential Information are embraced by general disclosures in the public domain. In addition, any combination of Confidential Information will not be considered in the public knowledge or in the prior possession of a Person merely because individual elements thereof are in the public domain or in the prior possession of such Person unless (i) the combination and its principles are in the public knowledge or in the prior possession of such Person and (ii) the combination is documented, in a single contemporaneous document, as in the public knowledge or in the prior possession of such Person.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of any Party) may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the Federal income tax treatment and Federal income tax structure of any and all transaction(s) contemplated herein and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to any Party (or

to any employee, representative, or other agent of any Party) relating to such tax treatment or tax structure; provided, that this authorization of disclosure shall not apply to restrictions reasonably necessary to comply with securities Laws. This authorization of disclosure is retroactively effective immediately upon commencement of the first discussions regarding the transactions contemplated herein, and the Parties aver and affirm that this tax disclosure authorization has been given on a date which is no later than thirty (30) days from the first (1st) day that any Party (or any employee, representative, or other agent of any Party) first made or provided a statement as to the potential tax consequences that may result from the transactions contemplated hereby.
9.2    Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights of the Parties under this Agreement are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that if any Party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with this Agreement, such refusal or failure would result in irreparable injury to the other Party, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation. Accordingly, if any Party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with this Agreement, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged Party at law or in equity, such damaged Party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged Party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction.
9.3    Publications. If either Sanofi or Regeneron (the “Publishing Party”) desires to publish or publicly present any results from the IO Discovery Program in scientific journals, publications or scientific presentations or otherwise, the Publishing Party shall provide the other Party an advance final copy of any proposed publication or summary of a proposed oral presentation relating to such information prior to submission for publication or disclosure. Such other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to preserve the confidentiality of its Confidential Information and to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to prevent any specific, material adverse effect to it as a result of the publication or disclosure, to which the Publishing Party shall give due consideration. If such other Party informs the Publishing Party, within thirty (30) days of receipt (or such other period agreed to by the IOSC) of an advance copy of a proposed publication or summary of a proposed oral presentation, that such publication in its reasonable judgment should not be published or presented, the Publishing Party shall delay or prevent such disclosure or publication as proposed by the other Party. In the case of patentable inventions, the delay shall be sufficiently long to permit the timely preparation and filing of a Patent Application(s) or application(s) for a certificate of invention on the information involved. The Parties shall establish a publication review process to ensure compliance with this Section 9.3. Regeneron shall have the sole right to publish or publicly present results from the IO Discovery Program related to any Excluded Candidate (other than Excluded Candidates that were External Candidates for which Sanofi was the Offering Party), [***] or Refused Candidate without the consent of, and without providing any notice to, Sanofi, and any such publication or presentation shall not be subject to this Section 9.3.

9.4    Disclosures Concerning this Agreement. The Parties will mutually agree on the contents of their respective press releases with respect to the execution of this Agreement, the IO License and Collaboration Agreement and the amendments to the Existing Discovery Agreement and Existing License and Collaboration Agreement, which press releases shall be issued simultaneously by each Party on the Execution Date. Sanofi and Regeneron agree not to (and to ensure that their respective Affiliates do not) issue any other press releases or public announcements concerning this Agreement or any other activities contemplated hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are traded); provided, that the Party intending to disclose such information shall (a) use reasonable efforts to (i) provide the other Party advance notice of such required disclosure and an opportunity to review and comment on such proposed disclosure (which comments shall be considered in good faith by the disclosing Party) and (ii) assist the other Party to protect such information and (b) limit the disclosure to the information that is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without prior submission to or approval of the other Party, either Party may issue press releases or public announcements that incorporate information concerning this Agreement or any activities contemplated hereunder that was included in a press release or public disclosure that was previously disclosed under the terms of this Agreement or that contains only non-material factual information regarding this Agreement. Except as required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are traded), or in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or adjudication of any Arbitrable Matter or Expert Panel Dispute, neither Party (or their respective Affiliates) shall disclose to any Third Party, under any circumstances, any financial terms of this Agreement that have not been previously disclosed publicly pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; except for disclosures to Third Parties that are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse substantially equivalent in scope to those included herein with a term of at least five (5) years. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party, as a publicly traded company, is legally obligated to make timely disclosures of all material events relating to its business. The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or its equivalent in the Territory. Each Party will be entitled to make such filing but shall cooperate with one another and use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of confidential, including trade secret, information in accordance with applicable Law. The filing Party will provide the non-filing Party with an advance copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which the filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and will reasonably consider the non-filing Party’s timely comments thereon.

14.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may be executed by exchange between the Parties of electronically transmitted signatures (via facsimile, PDF format via e-mail or other electronic means) and such signatures shall be deemed to bind each Party hereto as if they were original signatures.
14.12    Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided below in this Section 14.12, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party, including any creditor of any Party hereto. No Third Party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against any Party hereto.

For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Regeneron’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Sanofi, and Sanofi’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Regeneron, shall be that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint ventures between the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates.
14.14    Limitation of Damages. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 12.9, IN NO EVENT SHALL REGENERON OR SANOFI BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM THAT IS COVERED BY THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 10.

During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, neither Party shall solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other Party directly involved in the performance of the IO Discovery Program to leave the employment of the other Party and accept employment with the first Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this prohibition on solicitation does not apply to actions taken by a Party solely as a result of an employee’s affirmative response to a general recruitment effort carried through a public solicitation or general solicitation.
14.16    Construction.

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


Commercialization of the applicable IO Licensed Product in the Field in such country, such amount to be updated by the JFC and approved by the IOSC prior to January 1 of each following Contract Year. For the avoidance of doubt, “Commercial Overhead Charge” shall not include any amounts included in Field Force Cost, Medical Non-Approval Costs, Other Shared Expenses or Shared Commercial Expenses.
1.21    Commercial Supply Cost” shall mean the Out-of-Pocket Cost for purchasing or the Manufacturing Cost for the Manufacture of Commercial Supply Requirements, including, scale-up after First Commercial Sale and any filling, packaging and labeling costs therefor, and any irrecoverable VAT or similar taxes actually paid with respect to the Manufacture or delivery of such Commercial Supply Requirements.

1.24    Commercially Reasonable Efforts” shall mean the carrying out of obligations or tasks by a Party in a sustained manner using good faith commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, which efforts shall be consistent with the exercise of prudent scientific and business judgment in accordance with the efforts such Party devotes to products or research or development projects owned by it of similar scientific and commercial potential. Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall be determined on a market-by-market and IO Licensed Product-by-IO Licensed Product basis in view of conditions prevailing at the time, and evaluated taking into account all relevant factors, including the efficacy, safety, anticipated regulatory authority approved labeling, competitiveness of the IO Licensed Product or alternative products that are in the marketplace or under development by Third Parties and other technical, scientific, legal, medical marketing and competitiveness factors.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Party (and its Third Party subcontractors) shall notify the other Party within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of a notification from a Regulatory Authority of the intention of such Regulatory Authority to audit or inspect facilities used or proposed to be used for the Manufacture of IO Licensed Products for use in the Field under this Agreement; provided that such notification shall be given no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to any such Regulatory Authority audit or inspection, to the extent that its receipt of notification from the Regulatory Authority so permits.
7.6    Recalls and Other Corrective Actions    . Decisions with respect to any recall, market withdrawal or other corrective action related to any IO Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory shall be made only upon mutual agreement of the Parties, which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that nothing herein shall prohibit either Party from initiating or conducting any recall or other corrective action mandated by a Governmental Authority or Law. The Party that determines that a recall or market withdrawal of an IO Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory may be required shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, notify the other Party and, without limitation of and subject to the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence, the Parties shall decide whether such a recall or market withdrawal is required. The Parties shall cooperate with respect to any actions taken or public statements made in connection with any such recall or market withdrawal. Expenses associated with such recalls will be treated as Other Shared Expenses.
ARTICLE VIII
MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY
8.1    Manufacture and Supply of Clinical Supply Requirements of Formulated Bulk Product. Until such time as Commercial Supply Requirements are being Manufactured, Regeneron will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide an adequate and timely supply of Formulated Bulk Product for Clinical Supply Requirements of IO Licensed Products in the

63


Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


Field in the Territory in accordance with the Manufacturing Plan. Regeneron may [***]. If an entity other than Regeneron is to be used to Manufacture Formulated Bulk Product for Clinical Supply Requirements, preference shall be given to Sanofi or an Affiliate of Sanofi that is qualified to Manufacture the applicable IO Licensed Product in accordance with applicable Good Practices and where the estimated Manufacturing Cost is comparable to that of Third Party Manufacturers. The Formulated Bulk Product Manufactured by or on behalf of Regeneron for Clinical Supply Requirements will be included in Development Costs or Shared Commercial Expenses, if and as applicable in accordance with this Agreement, at the Manufacturing Cost calculated in accordance with Part I of Schedule 1. To the extent that Regeneron maintains manufacturing capacity available for the Manufacture of Clinical Supply Requirements, the costs and expenses of maintaining such capacity shall be included as a Development Cost to the extent it is not included as a Manufacturing Cost. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.1 shall require Regeneron to expand its manufacturing capacity or use any manufacturing capacity acquired or constructed by Regeneron in the future to satisfy its obligations under this Section 8.1. [***], Sanofi shall, upon completion of the process transfer, make capacity at this facility available to provide Formulated Bulk Product for Phase III Trials of IO Licensed Products on Regeneron’s behalf as set forth in the Manufacturing Plan in the event that the requirements for Formulated Bulk Product for Phase III Trials exceed Regeneron’s capacity at its Manufacturing facilities.
8.2    Finished Product Supply of Clinical Supply Requirements. Regeneron will timely identify, and enter into an agreement with, a Third Party or Third Parties or Sanofi (or use its own facilities, if Regeneron has such capabilities) to perform the filling, packaging, labeling and testing of the Formulated Bulk Product and supply Finished Product for Clinical Supply Requirements for IO Licensed Products for use under this Agreement. If an entity other than Regeneron is to be used to perform filling, packaging, labeling or testing services related to Finished Product for Clinical Supply Requirements, preference shall be given to Sanofi or an Affiliate of Sanofi that is qualified to perform such services in accordance with applicable Good Practices and where the estimated Manufacturing Cost is comparable to that of Third Parties. Such Finished Product for Clinical Supply Requirements Manufactured on behalf of Regeneron will be included in Development Costs or Shared Commercial Expenses, if and as applicable in accordance with this Agreement at the Manufacturing Cost calculated in accordance with Part I of Schedule 1.
8.3    Manufacture and Supply of Commercial Supply Requirements.
(a)    The Parties, through the JMC and IOSC, will determine whether a Party, or a Third Party on behalf of a Party, will be responsible for Manufacturing and supplying Commercial Supply Requirements of Formulated Bulk Product or Finished Product for each IO Licensed Product for use under this Agreement. The JMC shall use all reasonable efforts to make such determination no later than [***] prior to the Anticipated First Commercial Sale of each IO Licensed Product. [***]. Such a notice (a “Manufacturing Notice”) shall be irrevocable and shall be treated as a firm commitment to supply such Formulated Bulk Product or Finished Product, as the case may be. Preference will be given to having a Party or both Parties, rather than Third Parties, Manufacture and supply Commercial Supply Requirements [***]. If both

64


Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


Parties desire to Manufacture and supply such Commercial Supply Requirements, [***]. If one Party desires to Manufacture and supply [***]. If the Parties cannot agree on terms under which either or both Parties will Manufacture and supply Commercial Supply Requirements of an IO Licensed Product, the JMC shall arrange for a Third Party to Manufacture and supply such Commercial Supply Requirements.
(b)    Once Manufacture of Commercial Supply Requirements of an IO Licensed Product begins, or is scheduled to begin, Manufacture of Clinical Supply Requirements of such IO Licensed Product shall be coordinated with Manufacture of Commercial Supply Requirements of such IO Licensed Product. Formulated Bulk Product and Finished Product Manufactured by or on behalf of a Party for Commercial Supply Requirements, and for Clinical Supply Requirements that are Manufactured in coordination with the Commercial Supply Requirements, will be billed at the Manufacturing Cost described in Part II of Schedule 1 as a Commercial Supply Cost and Clinical Supply Cost, respectively. If a Party has commercial scale capacity available in anticipation of beginning to Manufacture Commercial Supply Requirements, the JMC shall decide if such Party shall Manufacture any Clinical Supply Requirements even before it begins to Manufacture Commercial Supply Requirements.
(c)    Any Third Party manufacturer of Commercial Supply Requirements or Clinical Supply Requirements will be required to enter into a separate confidentiality agreement with Regeneron prior to the transfer of the Manufacturing operations from Regeneron to such Third Party. All of Regeneron’s costs and expenses associated with the transfer of the Manufacturing operations and related Know-How to the Third Party manufacturer (or Sanofi, to the extent that Sanofi Manufactures all or part of the Commercial Supply Requirements or Clinical Supply Requirements) will be billed as a Development Cost.
8.4    Supply Agreement. The Parties shall timely enter into one or more clinical supply agreements with respect to the quality assurance/quality control, forecasting, ordering and delivery of Clinical Supply Requirements, which shall contain terms consistent with this Agreement. At least [***] of an IO Licensed Product, the Parties shall enter into separate commercial supply agreements with respect to the quality assurance/quality control, forecasting, ordering and delivery of Clinical Supply Requirements and Commercial Supply Requirements after the First Commercial Sale, which shall contain terms consistent with this Agreement. Each supply agreement will include as an annex thereto a customary quality agreement containing terms and conditions regarding quality assurance and Good Practices and provide for terms for forecasting, ordering, delivery, payment and supply consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
8.5    Process Development and Manufacturing Plans. The Parties, through the JMC, will develop and amend as necessary, for each IO Licensed Product, a Manufacturing Plan. The JMC shall be responsible for deciding on process and technology selection, on process improvements and all related process development activities which impact Manufacturing. The JMC shall also be responsible for all decisions relating to Manufacturing Formulated Bulk Product for Clinical Supply Requirements of IO Licensed Products. Each Manufacturing Plan shall set forth the supply requirements of an IO Licensed Product over an ensuing period of

65


Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


[***]. The Manufacturing Plan will include arrangements for the Manufacture of back-up Formulated Bulk Product for IO Licensed Product requirements at a Party or a Third Party back-up Manufacturing facility. The Manufacturing Plan (including each annual amendment thereto) shall be prepared by the JMC and approved by the IOSC at least two (2) months prior to the end of the then current Contract Year, except that the initial Manufacturing Plan covering at least initial expected Clinical Supply Requirements for an IO Licensed Product, to the extent not included in the Post-POC Development Plan, shall be approved by the IOSC within the initial Global Development Plan. The Parties shall design Manufacturing Plans to ensure an adequate supply of IO Licensed Product and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to perform their responsibilities in accordance with the approved Manufacturing Plans.
8.6    Manufacturing Shortfall. Each Party is required to provide prompt written notice to the other Party if it reasonably determines that it will not, despite its using Commercially Reasonable Efforts, be able to supply the agreed upon demand forecast for the IO Licensed Products set forth in the Manufacturing Plan. Upon such notification, the matter will be referred to the JMC and IOSC to determine what, if any (and identify and establish, as quickly as possible, if applicable) alternative supply source of IO Licensed Product (including the other Party) should be utilized.
8.7    Manufacturing Compliance. Each Party will use diligent efforts to Manufacture the Formulated Bulk Product and Finished Product supplied under this ARTICLE VIII or, as applicable, to ensure that the same is Manufactured by Third Parties in conformity with Good Practices and applicable Laws. Each Party will timely notify and seek the approval of the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, for any Manufacturing changes for the Formulated Bulk Product or Finished Product that are reasonably likely to have an adverse impact on (a) the quality of the IO Licensed Products supplied under this Agreement or (b) the regulatory status of the IO Licensed Products in the Territory, including requirements to support or maintain any Approvals. Each Party shall have the right to conduct inspections and audits of the other Party’s facilities involved in the Manufacture of IO Licensed Products in the Field pursuant to this Agreement at reasonable times and on reasonable prior notice on terms to be agreed upon by the Parties. Moreover, each Party will use diligent efforts to negotiate agreements that would allow the other Party to audit the facilities of Third Party contractors (including Sanofi, if applicable) involved in the Manufacture of IO Licensed Products for use in the Field under this Agreement.
8.8    Amendments to the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement. To the extent that ARTICLE VIII of the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement is amended after the Execution Date, the Parties shall discuss in good faith whether any corresponding changes shall be made to ARTICLE VIII of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


Execution Date, Sanofi shall pay to Regeneron a non-refundable, non-creditable amount of three hundred and seventy five million Dollars ($375,000,000).
9.2    Development Costs.
(a)    IO Licensed Products for which Sanofi is the Post-POC Principal Party. Sanofi shall be responsible for paying one hundred percent (100%) of the total Development Costs for IO Licensed Products for which Sanofi is the Post-POC Principal Party, whether incurred by or on behalf of Sanofi, Regeneron or their respective Affiliates (provided that such Development Costs are incurred in accordance with the applicable Global Development Budget), and fifty percent (50%) of such expenses shall count as IO Development Balance Costs and be included in the IO Development Balance. Any such Development Costs incurred by or on behalf of Regeneron shall be added to the Development Cost True-Up. For clarity, no such Development Costs incurred by either Party shall be treated as Other Shared Expenses.
(b)    IO Licensed Products for which Regeneron is the Post-POC Principal Party. The Parties shall share equally (50%/50%) in the total Development Costs for IO Licensed Products for which Regeneron is the Post-POC Principal Party (including, for clarity, REGN2810 and any other PD-1 Licensed Products), whether incurred by or on behalf of Sanofi, Regeneron or their respective Affiliates, and any such Development Costs shall be counted toward the Development Cost True-Up as set forth in Schedule 2; provided that none of such Development Costs shall count as IO Development Balance Costs or be included in the IO Development Balance. Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the aggregate amount of all shared Development Costs with respect to an IO Licensed Product shall not exceed, at any time, the aggregate Global Development Budget for such IO Licensed Product.
(c)    Non-IO Indication Expenses Prior to Opt-In. If, with respect to any Product Candidate under the IO Discovery Agreement for which Sanofi has exercised its Opt-In Rights pursuant to Article 5 of the IO Discovery Agreement, (i) Regeneron has incurred development costs and expenses (solely to the extent such costs and expenses are not reimbursed under the Existing Agreements) in respect of any Non-IO Indication for such Product Candidate, and (ii) [***], then, in either case (A) or (B), [***] of the development costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron in respect of such Non-IO Indication for such IO Licensed Product shall be added to the Development Cost True-Up in the Quarter in which the earlier of (1) and (2) occurs: [***]. [***] of such development costs and expenses incurred by Regeneron in respect of such Non-IO Indication expenses shall be included in the IO Development Balance (provided that, for clarity, none of such Non-IO Indication development costs or expenses referred to in clause (i) above shall count against any Global Development Budget hereunder or the “IO Discovery Budget” or “Tail Period Budget” under the IO Discovery Agreement).
(d)    Additional Trial Costs. If and only if [***], then the applicable percentage (as determined pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 9.2(d)) of the Additional Trial Costs incurred directly in connection with the conduct of such Additional Trial shall be included in the Development Cost True-Up for the Post-POC Other Party in the Quarter in which the earlier of (A) and (B) occurs: [***]. The percentage of Additional Trial Costs shall be added to or subtracted from the Development Cost True-Up as follows: (x) if Regeneron is the Post-

67


Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


POC Other Party, then an amount equal to [***] of the Additional Trial Costs shall be added to the Development Cost True-Up, and [***] of the Additional Trial Costs shall be added to the IO Development Balance (but, for clarity, no portion of such Additional Trial Costs shall be included in any Global Development Budget), and (y) if Sanofi is the Post-POC Other Party, then an amount equal to [***] of the Additional Trial Costs shall be subtracted from the Development Cost True-Up, and [***].
(e)    Research Expenses. The Parties acknowledge that payments made by a Party pursuant to this Section 9.2 are being made as research and development expenses, as defined in Section 41 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
9.3    PD-1 Milestone Payment. In addition to the other payments contemplated herein, Sanofi shall pay to Regeneron a one-time non-refundable, non-creditable milestone payment in the amount of three hundred and seventy five million Dollars ($375,000,000) (the “PD-1 Milestone Payment”) in the event that, in any consecutive twelve- (12-) month period during the Term, PD-1 Sales are greater than or equal to two billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) (the “PD-1 Milestone”). After the achievement of such PD-1 Milestone, Sanofi shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of electronic receipt of an invoice therefor from Regeneron to pay the amount of the PD-1 Milestone Payment to Regeneron. For purposes of clarification, the PD-1 Milestone Payment shall be made only once and only upon the first (1st) occurrence of the PD-1 Milestone, and no amounts shall be due for subsequent or repeated achievements of such PD-1 Milestone in subsequent consecutive twelve- (12-) month periods. “PD-1 Sales” shall mean the sum of (a) aggregate Net Sales of all PD-1 Licensed Products in the Territory in any consecutive twelve- (12-) month period, plus (b) aggregate Net Sales of all Non-PD-1 Licensed Product that are sold for use in combination with any PD-1 Licensed Product in such consecutive twelve- (12-) month period. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the payment due under this Section 9.3 becomes subject to withholding or similar tax that Sanofi would be required by Law to withhold or pay on behalf of Regeneron because of any assignment of this Agreement to an Affiliate of Sanofi, then Sanofi shall pay to Regeneron such additional amounts under this Section 9.3 so that Regeneron will receive three hundred and seventy five million Dollars ($375,000,000) net of any withholding or similar taxes.
9.4    Royalties. Any royalty amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6(c) of this Agreement shall be paid to Sanofi for the period of time, as determined on a Special Termination Product-by-Special Termination Product and country-by-country basis, commencing on the first (1st) commercial sale of such Special Termination Product (or the effective date of the applicable termination, if later) and [***] (the “Royalty Term”). During the Royalty Term, Regeneron shall deliver to Sanofi with each royalty payment a report detailing in reasonable detail the information necessary to calculate the royalty payments due under this Section 9.4 for such Quarter, including the following information, specified on an Special Termination Product-by-Special Termination Product and country-by-country basis: (a) total gross invoiced amount from sales of each such Special Termination Product by Regeneron, its Affiliates and Sublicensees; (b) all relevant deductions from gross invoiced amounts to calculate Net Sales; (c) Net Sales; and (d) royalties payable.

such Quarter, combining the information reported by each Party pursuant to this ARTICLE IX and showing its calculations in accordance with Schedule 2 of the amount of any payments to be made by the Parties hereunder for such Quarterly period as contemplated by this Section 9.6 (including showing the calculation of the Profit Split) and, if applicable, providing for the netting of such payments. In the event there is any dispute relating to a Consolidated Payment Report of a Party for a Quarter, such matter shall be submitted to the JFC for resolution. In the event that no resolution is reached by the JFC, the matter shall be escalated to the IOSC in accordance with Section 3.11(a) and, if necessary, to the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 3.11(c) and the Expert Panel in accordance with Section 10.4.
(g)    All reports referred to in this Section 9.6 shall be in such form, format and level of detail as may be approved by the JFC. Unless otherwise agreed by the JFC, the financial data in the reports will include calculations in local currency and Dollars.
9.7    Funds Flow. The Parties shall make Quarterly True-Up payments as set forth in Schedule 2. If Sanofi is the Party owing the Quarterly True-Up payment based on the calculations in the applicable Consolidated Payment Report of each Party for a Quarter, it shall, subject to Section 9.14, make such payment to Regeneron within fifteen (15) days after the exchange between the Parties of their respective Consolidated Payment Reports pursuant to Section 9.6. If Regeneron is the Party owing the Quarterly True-Up payment based on the calculations in the applicable Consolidated Payment Report of each Party for a Quarter, it shall, subject to Section 9.14, make such payment to Sanofi within fifteen (15) days after the exchange between the Parties of their respective Consolidated Payment Reports pursuant to Section 9.6. For the avoidance of doubt, any cost or expense paid or reimbursed under this Agreement, the IO Discovery Agreement or the Existing Agreements shall be paid or reimbursed only once so as to avoid any “double counting,” regardless of whether such cost or expense is reflected in more than one plan or budget under this Agreement, the IO Discovery Agreement or the Existing Agreements.
9.8    Invoices and Documentation. The JFC shall approve the form of any necessary documentation relating to any payments hereunder so as to afford the Parties appropriate accounting treatment in relation to any of the transactions or payments contemplated hereunder. All payments otherwise due and owing under this Agreement shall be supported by, and, if any such payment is due hereunder within a specified time period, such specified time period shall not start running until receipt by the owing Party of, an invoice delivered (whether electronically or physically) to the Party owing such amount, except as provided in Section 9.1, in such form approved by the JFC.
9.9    Budgets and Forecasts. With respect to each plan delivered hereunder, the Party delivering such plan shall include a budget as part of such plan and such budget (and associated non-binding two (2) year budget forecast included in the applicable related plan), including each Global Development Budget, Global Commercialization Budget, U.S. Commercialization Budget, ROW Commercialization Budget, and Country/Region Commercialization Budget shall include a break-out of the expenditures by Quarter for the initial Contract Year of such budget and on an annual basis for the next two (2) Contract Years.

later than April 30 of each Contract Year, each Party will provide the other Party with a good faith estimate of a re-forecast of the projected expenditures, by Quarter, for the remaining portion of the initial Contract Year for each such budget.
9.10    Payment Method and Currency. All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due. All sums due under this Agreement shall be payable in Dollars. In those cases where the amount due in Dollars is calculated based upon one or more currencies other than Dollars, such amounts shall be converted to Dollars using the average of the buying and selling exchange rate for conversion of the applicable foreign currency into Dollars, using the spot rates (the “Mid Price Close” found on Thomson Reuters Eikon, or any other source as agreed to by the Parties) from the last Business Day of the month of the period to which the payment relates.
9.11    Late Payments. The Parties agree that, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties or otherwise provided in this Agreement, amounts due by one Party to the other shall be payable to a bank account, details of which are to be communicated by the receiving Party. Unless otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties or otherwise provided in this Agreement, all payments under this Agreement shall earn interest, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, from the date due until paid at a rate equal to one month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) Dollars, as quoted on Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any other source agreed to by the Parties) effective for the date on which the payment was due, [***] (such sum being referred to as the “Default Interest Rate”).
9.12    Taxes. Except as set forth in Section 9.3, any withholding or other taxes that either Party or its Affiliates are required by Law to withhold or pay on behalf of the other Party with respect to any payments to such other Party hereunder shall be deducted from such payments and paid to the appropriate tax authority contemporaneously with the remittance to the other Party; provided that the withholding Party shall furnish the other Party with proper evidence of the taxes so paid. Each Party shall cooperate with the other and furnish the other Party with appropriate documents to secure application of the most favorable rate of withholding tax under applicable Law (or exemption from such withholding tax payments, as applicable). Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees to make all lawful and reasonable efforts to minimize any such taxes, assessments and fees and will claim on the other Party’s behalf the benefit of any available treaty on the avoidance of double taxation that applies to any payments hereunder to such other Party.
9.13    Adjustments to FTE Rates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the request of either Party, the Parties shall meet to review the accuracy of an applicable FTE rate in any country (e.g., Field Force FTE Rate, the Development FTE Rate, etc.). The Parties agree to share reasonable supporting documents and materials in connection with an assessment of the applicable FTE rate and to determine in good faith whether to adjust the rate(s) in any country.

Subject to Section 9.12, each Party shall have the right to offset any amount owed by the other Party to such first Party under or in connection with this Agreement [***], including pursuant to this ARTICLE IX or in connection with any breach against any payments owed by such first Party to such other Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such offset shall be permitted to the extent and for so long as such other Party is contesting in good faith its obligation to make any such payment to such first Party under the applicable dispute resolution procedures of this Agreement [***]. Such offsets shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies available under this Agreement and applicable Law.
9.15    Resolution of Payment Disputes. In the event there is a dispute relating to any of the payment obligations or reports under this ARTICLE IX, the Party with the dispute shall have its representative on the JFC provide the other Party’s representative on the JFC with written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and factual basis for such good faith dispute and the Parties, through the JFC, will seek to resolve the dispute as promptly as possible, but no later than ten (10) days after such written notice is received. In the event that no resolution is reached by the JFC, the matter shall be escalated to the IOSC in accordance with Section 3.11(a) and, if necessary, to the Executive Officers in accordance with Section 3.11(c) and the Expert Panel in accordance with Section 10.4. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the obligation to pay any reasonably disputed amount shall not be deemed to have been triggered until such dispute is resolved hereunder, provided that all amounts that are not in dispute shall be paid in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Once a Product Trademark has been selected by the JCC, the Parties shall enter into an agreement or, in the alternative, shall amend this Agreement as the Parties may agree, in order to address the Parties’ respective rights and obligations with respect to such Product Trademark. Each IO Licensed Product in the Field shall be promoted and sold in the Territory under the applicable Product Trademark(s), trade dress and packaging approved by the JCC.

All Out-of-Pocket Costs incurred in the filing, prosecution and maintenance of Product Trademarks as provided in this Section 11.4 shall be shared by the Parties as part of Shared Commercial Expenses.
11.5    License to the Product Trademark(s). The Lead Commercialization Party with respect to an IO Licensed Product in a country in the Territory hereby grants to the other Party a co-exclusive license (non-exclusive only with respect to such other Party) to use the Product Trademark(s) for such IO Licensed Products solely for the purposes of the other Party’s Development, Manufacturing, and, if applicable, Co-Promotion of such IO Licensed Products in such country, or other Commercialization activities with respect to such IO Licensed Products if such activities are agreed to by the Lead Commercialization Party or set forth in any Plans, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Consistent with Section 4.4 of this Agreement, neither Party shall license (or, as applicable, sublicense) rights to use, or otherwise transfer ownership of the Product Trademark(s) without the prior written consent of the other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Each Party agrees that at no time during the Term will it or any of its Affiliates attempt to use or register any trademarks, trade dress, service marks, trade names or domain names confusingly similar to the Product Trademark(s) in relation to a product that is an IO Licensed Product, or take any other action which damages or dilutes the rights to, or goodwill associated with, the Product Trademark(s). Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall (or shall cause its Affiliates, as appropriate, to) execute such documents as may reasonably be required for the purpose of recording with any Governmental Authority the license, or a recordable version thereof, referred to above in this Section 11.5.

(d)    To the extent that any right, title or interest in or to any intellectual property discovered, invented, authored or otherwise created under the Collaboration during the Term vests in a Party, by operation of Law or otherwise, in a manner contrary to the agreed upon ownership as set forth in this Agreement, such Party shall, and hereby does, irrevocably assign, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their Sublicensees to assign, to the other Party any and all such right, title and interest in and to such intellectual property to the other Party without the need for any further action by any Party.

Neither Party hereto shall have the obligation to account to the other Party for any revenues or profits obtained from any transfer of its interest in, or its use, sublicense or other exploitation of, the Joint Inventions outside the scope of the Collaboration. The provisions governing Joint Inventions set forth in this Section 12.1(f) shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
12.2    Prosecution and Maintenance of Patent Rights.
(a)    Regeneron shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain the Regeneron Patent Rights in the countries and regions in the Territory as determined in accordance with clause (ii) of this Section 12.2(a).

of this claim or assertion and shall provide such other Party with all available evidence supporting such known, potential or suspected infringement or unauthorized use. As soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of such notice, the Parties shall cause the IOSC to meet and consider the appropriate course of action with respect to such infringement. The Parties shall at all times cooperate, share all material notices and filings in a timely manner, provide all reasonable assistance to each other and use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mutually agree upon an appropriate course of action, including, as appropriate, the preparation of material court filings and any discussions concerning prosecution or settlement of any such claim.
(b)    With respect to any such actual, suspected or potential infringement by virtue of a generic or potential generic competitor’s activities in the Field in the Territory, including any Abbreviated New Drug Application (as defined in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act) filing, Paragraph IV Certification, any regulatory filing based on Section 351(k) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262) or Article 10(4) of the Directive 2001/83/EC or any other similar regulation promulgated by the FDA, EMA or by other applicable similar governmental regulatory authorities or other actual or potential infringement by a generic or potential generic competitor anywhere in the Territory, the Parties will consult and cooperate fully to determine a course of action. Final decisions on whether to initiate a proceeding with respect to an IO Licensed Product, and the course of action in such proceeding, including settlement negotiations and terms, will be made by the Post-POC Principal Party with active assistance from and in consultation with the other Party. In those proceedings where a Party is not the reference product sponsor or BLA holder, such Party reserves, and is hereby granted the right to participate in all such proceedings to the extent such participation is permissible under applicable Laws and court rules and procedures. The Post-POC Other Party will provide reasonable assistance to the Post-POC Principal Party in prosecuting any suit, and if required by Law, will join in the suit in such country; provided that neither Party will enter into any settlement with respect to the Patents of the other Party without such other Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Although the Post-POC Principal Party has the right to select counsel of its own choice, it shall first consult with the other Party and consider in good faith the recommendations of such other Party. The amount of any recovery from any such infringement suit with respect to activities in the Field in the Territory shall first be used to pay reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, relating to such legal proceedings and then shared equally (50%/50%) by the Parties.
(c)    With respect to all other such actual, potential or suspected infringement by virtue of a Third Party’s activities in the Field in the Territory, the Parties will consult and cooperate fully in an effort to determine a mutually agreeable course of action, provided if such agreement cannot be reached promptly, final decisions on whether to initiate a proceeding, and the course of action in such proceeding, including settlement negotiations and terms, will be made (i) with respect to Regeneron Patent Rights, by Regeneron in consultation with Sanofi, (ii) with respect to Sanofi Patent Rights, by Sanofi in consultation with Regeneron, and (iii) with respect to Joint Patent Rights, jointly by the Parties.

Litigation Party in prosecuting any suit, and if required by Law, will join in the suit. Although the Lead Litigation Party has the right to select counsel of its own choice, it shall first consult with the other Party and consider in good faith the recommendations of the other Party.

16.1    Confidential Information.
(a)    Each of Sanofi and Regeneron acknowledges (subject to Section 16.1(b) and the provisions of ARTICLE XIX) that all Party Information provided to it (or its Affiliate) or otherwise made available to it by the other Party or its respective Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Collaboration Agreements is confidential and proprietary to such other Party or its Affiliates. Furthermore, each of Sanofi and Regeneron acknowledges (subject to the further provisions of this ARTICLE XVI) that all New Information is confidential and proprietary to both Parties (and both Parties shall be deemed to be the receiving Party with respect thereto). Subject to the further provisions of this ARTICLE XVI, each of Sanofi and Regeneron agrees to (i) maintain such Party Information of the other Party (or its Affiliates) and all New Information in confidence during the Term and for a period of ten (10) years thereafter and (ii) use such Party Information of the other Party (or its Affiliate) and New Information solely for the purpose of exercising its rights and performing its obligations hereunder. Each of Sanofi and Regeneron covenants that neither it nor any of its respective Affiliates shall disclose any such Party Information of the other Party (or its Affiliate) or New Information to any Third Party except (A) to its employees, agents, consultants or any other Person under its authorization; provided such employees, agents, consultants or Persons are subject in writing to substantially the same confidentiality obligations as the Parties, (B) as approved by both Parties hereunder or (C) as set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything provided in Section 16.1(a), the restrictions provided in this ARTICLE XVI shall not apply to information that was or is (and

89

such information shall not be considered confidential or proprietary under this Agreement) (i) already in the public domain as of the Effective Date or becomes publicly known through no fault of the receiving Party or its Affiliate or any Person to whom the receiving Party or its Affiliate provided such information; (ii) already in the possession of the receiving Party or its Affiliate at the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply with respect to New Information; (iii) disclosed to the receiving Party or its Affiliate on an unrestricted basis from a Third Party not under an obligation of confidentiality to the other Party or any Affiliate of such other Party with respect to such information and not, with respect to New Information, in connection with this Agreement or any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement; (iv) similar in nature to the purported Party Information or New Information but has been independently created outside of this Agreement or any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement, as evidenced by written or electronic documentation, without any aid, application or use of the Party Information or New Information.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything provided in Section 16.1(a), each Party may use or disclose Party Information of the other Party and New Information to the extent that use or disclosure is (i) necessary to file, prosecute or defend Patents or Patent applications for which the Party has the right to assume filing, prosecution, defense or maintenance pursuant to this Agreement; provided that reasonable measures have been taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with applicable Law; (ii) required by a Governmental Authority, applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which the receiving Party’s (or its parent entity’s) securities are traded), or court order to be disclosed, provided that the receiving Party uses reasonable efforts to give the disclosing Party advance notice of such required disclosure in sufficient time to enable the disclosing Party to seek confidential treatment for such information or to request that the receiving Party seek confidential treatment for such information, if applicable, and provided, further, that the receiving Party provides all reasonable cooperation to assist the disclosing Party to protect such information and limits the disclosure to that information that is required by Governmental Authority, applicable Law or court order to be disclosed; (iii) to enforce the terms of this Agreement or any Ancillary Collaboration Agreement if it gives reasonable advance notice to the other Party to permit the other Party a sufficient opportunity to take any measures to ensure confidential treatment of such information and the disclosing Party shall provide reasonable cooperation to protect the confidentiality of such information; or (iv) to the Regulatory Authorities as required in connection with obtaining or maintaining any application of an IO Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided, that reasonable measures shall be taken to assure confidential treatment of such information to the extent practicable and consistent with applicable Law.

16.2    Injunctive Relief. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the rights of the Parties under this ARTICLE XVI are special, unique and of extraordinary character, and that if any Party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE XVI, such refusal or failure would result in irreparable injury to the other Party, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain or estimate and the remedies at law for which would not be reasonable or adequate compensation. Accordingly, if any Party refuses or otherwise fails to act, or to cause its Affiliates to act, in accordance with the provisions of this ARTICLE XVI, then, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to any damaged Party at law or in equity, such damaged Party will be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual or threatened damages, which remedy such damaged Party will be entitled to seek in any court of competent jurisdiction.
16.3    Publication of New Information. During the Term, if either Sanofi or Regeneron (the “Publishing Party”) desires to disclose any New Information or Party Information of the other Party that relates to any IO Licensed Product in scientific journals, publications or scientific presentations or otherwise, the Publishing Party shall provide the other Party an advance copy of any proposed publication or summary of a proposed oral presentation relating to the New Information or such Party Information of the other Party prior to submission for publication or disclosure. Such other Party shall have a reasonable opportunity to recommend any changes it reasonably believes are necessary to (a) prevent any specific, material negative effect to it or the IO Licensed Product as a result of the publication or disclosure (such recommendation of changes to include a description of the specific material negative effect), or (b) to enable the Parties to obtain Patent protection if either Party deems it necessary, to which the Publishing Party shall give due consideration. The Publishing Party shall not unreasonably reject such comments, and, if requested by the other Party, shall delay or prevent such disclosure or publication as reasonably proposed by such other Party. Disputes concerning publication shall be resolved by the IOSC (other than Legal Disputes). In the case of patentable inventions, the delay shall be sufficiently long to permit the timely preparation and filing of a Patent application(s) or application(s) for a certificate of invention on the information involved.
16.4    Disclosures Concerning this Agreement. The Parties will mutually agree on the contents of their respective press releases with respect to the execution of this Agreement and the IO Discovery Agreement (and the amendments to the Existing Agreements), which press release shall be issued simultaneously by each Party on the Execution Date. Sanofi and Regeneron agree not to (and to ensure that their respective Affiliates do not) issue any other press releases or public announcements concerning this Agreement or the IO Discovery Agreement or any actions or activities contemplated hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s securities (or the securities of its parent entity) are traded); provided that the Party intending to disclose such information shall (a) use reasonable efforts to (i) provide the other Party advance notice of such required disclosure and an opportunity to review and comment on such proposed disclosure (which comments shall be

considered in good faith by the disclosing Party) and (ii) assist the other Party to protect such information and (b) limit the disclosure to the information that is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without prior submission to or approval of the other Party, either Party may issue press releases or public announcements that incorporate information concerning this Agreement or the IO Discovery Agreement or any actions or activities contemplated hereunder or thereunder which information was included in a press release or public disclosure that was previously disclosed under the terms of this Agreement or the IO Discovery Agreement or which contains only non-material factual (non-financial) information regarding the Collaboration. Except as required by a Governmental Authority or applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of any stock exchange or trading market on which a Party’s securities (or the securities of its parent entity) are traded), or in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or adjudication of any Expert Panel Dispute, neither Party (or their respective Affiliates) shall disclose to any Third Party, under any circumstances, any financial terms of this Agreement that have not been previously disclosed publicly pursuant to this ARTICLE XVI without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; except for disclosures to Third Parties that are bound by obligations of confidentiality and nonuse substantially equivalent in scope to those included herein with a term of at least five (5) years. The Parties, through the Committees, shall establish mechanisms and procedures to ensure that there are coordinated timely corporate communications relating to the IO Licensed Products in the Field. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party, as a publicly traded company, is legally obligated to make timely disclosures of all material events relating to its business. The Parties acknowledge that either or both Parties may be obligated to file a copy of this Agreement and the IO Discovery Agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or its equivalent in the Territory. Each Party will be entitled to make such filing but shall cooperate with each other and use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment of confidential, including trade secret, information in accordance with applicable Law. The filing Party will provide the non-filing Party with an advance copy of the Agreement marked to show provisions for which the filing Party intends to seek confidential treatment and will reasonably consider the non-filing Party’s timely comments thereon.

except in each case ((i) and (ii)), to the extent that Damages arise out of the gross negligence, recklessness, bad faith or intentional wrongful acts, or omissions committed by Regeneron or its Affiliates (or their respective agents, contractors, Sublicensees, representatives or other persons or entities working on their behalf) in the performance of this Agreement or the material breach by Regeneron (or conduct or omission by any of its Affiliates, which if performed or failed to be performed by Regeneron would be a material breach by Regeneron) of the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    Regeneron will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sanofi, its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, Sublicensees and agents (“Sanofi Indemnitees”) from and against all Damages arising from a Third Party Claim against a Sanofi Indemnitee that is due to or based upon:

(ii)    material breach by Regeneron (or conduct or omission by any of its Affiliates, which if performed or failed to be performed by Regeneron would be a material breach by Regeneron) of the terms of, or the representations and warranties made by it in, this Agreement,

93


Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.


(i)    In the event of any Third Party Claim alleging that the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any IO Licensed Product under this Agreement infringes a Patent Right of a Third Party for which neither Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, each Party shall indemnify the other Party for fifty percent (50%) of all Damages therefrom and during the Term such Damages shall be treated as Other Shared Expenses.
(ii)    In the event of any product liability Third Party Claim alleging that the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any IO Licensed Product causes damages for which neither Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, each Party shall indemnify the other for fifty percent (50%) of all Damages therefrom and during the Term such Damages shall be treated as Other Shared Expenses.
(d)    During the Term and for a minimum period of five (5) years thereafter and for an otherwise longer period as may be required by applicable Law, each of Regeneron and Sanofi will (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure and maintain commercial general liability and product liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] per occurrence and in the annual aggregate or (ii) procure and maintain adequate insurance by means of self-insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are consistent with normal business practices of large pharmaceutical companies in the life sciences industry. Such insurance shall insure against liability arising from this Agreement on the part of Regeneron or Sanofi, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, due to injury, disability or death of any person or persons, or property damage arising from activities performed in connection with this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds received by a Party in connection with any Damages shall be retained by such Party and shall not reduce any obligation of the other Party under Section 17.1 with respect to such Damages.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 17.1, neither Party shall be responsible to indemnify the other Party (or the Regeneron Indemnitees or Sanofi Indemnitees, as the case may be) from Third Party claims resulting from, and to the extent allocable to, the negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts or omissions, or violations of Law committed by Third Parties contracted to Manufacture any part of the Clinical Supply Requirements or Commercial Supply Requirements pursuant to ARTICLE VIII; provided, that nothing in this Section 17.1(e) limits either Party’s indemnification obligations to the extent any Third Party claims arise from the negligence, recklessness, bad faith, intentional wrongful acts or omissions, or violations of Law committed directly by the Party that is responsible for contracting with such Third Party manufacturer(s) pursuant to ARTICLE VIII.
17.2    Indemnity Procedure. The Party entitled to indemnification under this ARTICLE XVII (an “Indemnified Party”) shall notify the Party potentially responsible for such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) within five (5) Business Days of being notified of any claim or claims asserted or threatened against the Indemnified Party which could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation hereunder except to the

extent that such failure materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification procedures in this Section 17.2 shall not apply to claims for which each Party indemnifies the other Party for fifty percent (50%) of all Damages under the terms of Section 17.1(c), and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to establish a mutually agreeable strategy with respect to defending or prosecuting any Third Party Claims subject to Section 17.1(c).
(a)    If the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party the Indemnifying Party’s responsibility for defending a claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend, at its sole cost and expense, such claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement unless (i) such compromise or settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim; and (ii) the Indemnified Party consents to such compromise or settlement, which consent shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed unless such compromise or settlement involves (A) any admission of legal wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, (B) any payment by the Indemnified Party that is not indemnified hereunder or (C) the imposition of any equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control of the defense of a claim or if a good faith and diligent defense is not being or ceases to be materially conducted by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party of its intent to do so, to undertake the defense of such claim for the account of the Indemnifying Party (with counsel reasonably selected by the Indemnified Party and approved by the Indemnifying Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Party apprised of all material developments with respect to such claim and promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with copies of all correspondence and documents exchanged by the Indemnified Party and the opposing party(ies) to such litigation.

Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 19.2(a), in the event of such termination by Sanofi of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more IO Licensed Product(s) pursuant to this Section 19.2, this Agreement (including, all payment obligations hereunder ) shall continue in full force and effect through the notice period set forth above (the “Sanofi Termination Notice Period”) and the terms of Schedule 3 (including the grant of rights and licenses set forth in paragraph 2 thereof) shall automatically apply.

Commercial Sale of an IO Licensed Product in a country, Sanofi may, upon twenty-four (24) months’ prior written notice to Regeneron, terminate this Agreement with respect to such IO Licensed Product in such country.

Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 19.2(b), in the event of such termination by Regeneron of this Agreement in its entirety or with respect to one or more IO Licensed Product(s) pursuant to this Section 19.2(b), this Agreement (including, all payment obligations hereunder) shall continue in full force and effect through the notice period set forth above (the “Regeneron Termination Notice Period”) and the terms of Schedule 4 (including the grant of rights and licenses set forth in paragraph 2 thereof) shall automatically apply. Except as set forth in this Section 19.2(b) or Schedule 4, during the Regeneron Termination Notice Period, the Parties shall continue to Develop, Manufacture and Commercialize IO Licensed Products (including the Special Termination Products(s)) in the Field in accordance with Plans.

amendment or change to any Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee(s) will have an obligation under this Agreement and the Collaboration Purpose to propose and adopt in a timely manner an interim Plan for any Plan that expires during the Regeneron Termination Notice Period. The most recent approved Plan(s) shall be extended pending approval of the new interim Plan(s).
(ii)    In addition to Regeneron’s termination rights set forth in Section 19.2(b)(i), from and after the twelfth (12th) anniversary of the First Commercial Sale of an IO Licensed Product in a country, Regeneron may, upon twenty-four (24) months’ prior written notice to Sanofi, terminate this Agreement with respect to such IO Licensed Product in such country. If Regeneron exercises such right, the provisions of Section 19.2(b)(i) (except that the Regeneron Termination Notice Period referred to therein shall be twenty-four (24) months rather than twelve (12) months), and Sections 19.6(a) and 19.7 shall apply with respect to such Terminated IO Product in such country
19.3    Termination For Material Breach. Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 19.3, this Agreement shall be terminable by a Party in its entirety or for a particular IO Licensed Product or particular IO Licensed Products in the Field in the entire Territory, upon written notice to the other Party, if such other Party commits a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement with respect to such IO Licensed Product(s) as to which such notice of termination is given (or all IO Licensed Products if such notice of termination is with respect to this Agreement in its entirety). Such notice of termination shall set forth in reasonable detail the facts underlying or constituting the alleged breach (and specifically referencing the provisions of this Agreement alleged to have been breached), and the termination that is the subject of such notice shall be effective ninety (90) days after the date such notice is given unless the breaching Party shall have cured such breach within such ninety (90) day period (or, if such material breach, by its nature, is a curable breach but such breach is not curable within such ninety (90) day period, such longer period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, so long as the breaching party is using diligent efforts to cure such breach, in which event if such breach has not been cured, such termination shall be effective on the earlier of the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period or such time as the breaching party ceases to use diligent efforts to cure such breach). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of breach of a payment obligation hereunder, the ninety (90) day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall instead be thirty (30) days (and the immediately preceding parenthetical clause in the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply). For purposes of this Section 19.3, the term “material breach” shall mean an intentional, continuing (and uncured within the time period described above) material breach by a Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
19.4    Termination for Insolvency. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, by and effective immediately, upon written notice to the other Party, if, at any time, (a) the other Party shall file in any court or agency pursuant to any statute or regulation of any state or country, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for an arrangement or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of the Party or of its assets,

or (b) the other Party proposes a written agreement of composition or extension of its debts, or (c) the other Party shall be served with an involuntary petition against it, filed in any insolvency proceeding, and such petition shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof, or (d) the other Party shall propose or become a party to any dissolution or liquidation, or (e) if the other Party shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by a Party to the other Party are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and any similar Laws in any other country in the Territory, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 (35A) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The Parties agree that all intellectual property rights licensed under or pursuant to this Agreement, including, any Patents or Patent applications in any country of a party covered by the license grants under this Agreement, are part of the “intellectual property” as defined under Section 101 (35A) of the Bankruptcy Code subject to the protections afforded the non-rejecting Party under Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any similar Law or regulation in any other country. The Parties agree that this Agreement shall not be deemed terminated by virtue of any rejection by a Party or its receiver or trustee under applicable bankruptcy Laws unless the non-rejecting Party fails to exercise its rights under Section 365(n)(1)(B) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (or its foreign equivalents). For clarity, if the non-rejecting Party fails to exercise such rights or such rights are not available in a country outside the United States, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated. The Parties further agree that, in the event of the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding by or against either Party under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any analogous Laws in any other country or jurisdiction, if this Agreement is not terminated or deemed terminated, the Party hereto that is not the subject of such proceeding shall be entitled to a complete duplicate of (or complete access to, as appropriate) all such intellectual property and all embodiments of such intellectual property, which, if not already in such Party’s possession, shall be promptly delivered to it upon such Party’s written request, unless the Party subject to such proceeding elects to continue to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement.
19.5    Termination of IO Discovery Agreement.
(a)    By Regeneron. Regeneron may terminate this Agreement in its entirety, effective upon written notice to Sanofi, if the IO Discovery Agreement has been terminated by Regeneron pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 thereof.
(b)    By Sanofi. Sanofi may terminate this Agreement in its entirety effective upon written notice to Regeneron, if the IO Discovery Agreement has been terminated by Sanofi pursuant to Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 thereof.
19.6    Effect of Termination.
(a)    Except as provided in Section 19.2(b), and in Section 19.6(b)below, upon termination of this Agreement with respect to all IO Licensed Products in the Field, or for a particular IO Licensed Product or particular IO Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory or, if applicable pursuant to Section 19.2(a)(ii), in one or more countries, the provisions of Schedule 3 shall apply (including during any applicable Termination Notice Period) with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s), and except to the extent required by Sanofi to fulfill its

If Regeneron terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 19.3 or 19.4 or pursuant to Section 19.5(a) in its entirety or with respect to one or more IO Licensed Products, then Sanofi shall pay to Regeneron, in addition to any other amount payable by Sanofi to Regeneron under this Agreement, under Law, or pursuant to any contractual remedies available to Regeneron, an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Development Costs incurred by Regeneron under the Global Development Plan(s) with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s) during the period commencing on the effective date of such termination of this Agreement pursuant to any of such Sections and ending on the twelve (12) month anniversary of such date.
(b)    Upon termination of this Agreement by Regeneron pursuant to Section 19.2(b) or by Sanofi pursuant to Section 19.3 or 19.4, in its entirety, or for a particular IO Licensed Product or particular IO Licensed Products in the Field, the provisions of Schedule 4 shall apply (including during any applicable Termination Notice Period) with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s) and, except to the extent required by Regeneron to fulfill its obligations pursuant to Schedule 4, (i) all licenses and rights granted by Sanofi to Regeneron hereunder with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s) shall automatically terminate, and revert to Sanofi, (ii) all licenses and rights granted by Regeneron to Sanofi hereunder with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s) shall automatically terminate and (iii) the license from Regeneron referred to in Schedule 4 shall come into full force and effect with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s).
19.7    Survival of Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE XIX, or Schedule 3 or Schedule 4, upon expiration, or upon termination of this Agreement with respect to all IO Licensed Products in the Field, or for a particular IO Licensed Product or particular IO Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory or, if applicable pursuant to Section 19.2(a)(ii), in one or more countries, the rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder with respect to the Terminated IO Product(s), in the applicable country or countries if such termination is pursuant to Section 19.2(a)(ii), shall terminate, and this Agreement shall cease to be of further force or effect to the extent of such termination, provided that notwithstanding any expiration or termination of this Agreement:
(a)    neither Sanofi nor Regeneron shall be relieved of any obligations (including payment obligations) of such Party arising prior to such expiration or termination, including, the payment of any non-cancelable costs and expenses incurred as part of a Plan (even if such costs and expenses arise following termination or expiration, as the case may be), except that Regeneron’s obligations with respect to the IO Development Balance payments provided for in Schedule 2 shall automatically terminate and the IO Development Balance shall equal zero;

20.4    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the IO Discovery Agreement contain the complete understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior understandings and writings relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, provided that the proviso set forth in Section 14.4 of the IO Discovery Agreement shall apply with respect to any conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and the IO Discovery Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Existing Discovery Agreement and the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and any variation between a provision of this Agreement and a corresponding or similar provision of the Existing Discovery Agreement or the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement shall not be considered in the interpretation of this Agreement, the Existing Discovery Agreement or the Existing License and Collaboration Agreement.
20.5    Amendments. No provision in this Agreement shall be supplemented, deleted or amended except in a writing executed by an authorized representative of each of Sanofi and Regeneron.
20.6    Severability. If, under applicable Laws, any provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, or otherwise directly or indirectly affects the validity of any other material provision(s) of this Agreement in any jurisdiction (“Modified Clause”), then, it is mutually agreed that this Agreement shall endure and that the Modified Clause shall be enforced in such jurisdiction to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Laws in such jurisdiction, provided, that the Parties shall consult and use all reasonable efforts to agree upon, and hereby consent to, any valid and enforceable modification of this Agreement as may be necessary to avoid any unjust enrichment of either Party and to match the intent of this Agreement as closely as possible, including the economic benefits and rights contemplated herein.
20.7    Registration and Filing of the Agreement.

103

primarily liable hereunder notwithstanding any such assignment. Any attempted assignment in violation hereof shall be void.
20.9    Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall also inure to the benefit of the Regeneron Indemnitees and Sanofi Indemnitees to the extent provided in the last sentence of Section 20.12.
20.10    Affiliates. Each Party may, and to the extent it is in the best interests of the IO Licensed Products in the Field in the Territory shall, perform its obligations under this Agreement through one or more of its Affiliates. Each Party absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the other Party the prompt and timely performance when due and at all times thereafter of the responsibilities, liabilities, covenants, warranties, agreements and undertakings of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Party shall cause or permit any of its Affiliates to commit any act (including any act or omission) which such Party is prohibited hereunder from committing directly. If an Affiliate of a Party will engage in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of an IO Licensed Product under this Agreement, then such Party shall enter into a separate agreement with such Affiliate pursuant to which the obligations of such Party hereunder shall be binding on such Affiliate and which shall provide that the other Party is a third party beneficiary of such agreement entitled to enforce such agreement and this Agreement against such Affiliate.

20.12    Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided below in this Section 20.12, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any Third Party, including any creditor of any Party hereto. No Third Party shall obtain any right under any provision of this Agreement or shall by reason of any such provision make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against any Party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARTICLE XVII is intended to benefit, and to be enforceable by, in addition to the Parties, the other Regeneron Indemnitees and Sanofi Indemnitees as if they were parties hereto, but this Agreement is only enforceable by the Parties.
20.13    Relationship of the Parties. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses incurred in the performance of its obligations hereunder without charge or expense to the other Party except as expressly provided for in this Agreement. Neither Sanofi nor Regeneron shall have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee compensation or benefits of the other Party’s employees. No employee or representative of a Party shall have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party

For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Regeneron’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Sanofi, and Sanofi’s legal relationship under this Agreement to Regeneron, shall be that of an independent contractor. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to establish a relationship of partners or joint ventures between the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates.
20.14    Limitation of Damages. IN NO EVENT SHALL REGENERON OR SANOFI BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, LOSS OF PROFITS) SUFFERED BY THE OTHER PARTY, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND REGARDLESS OF ANY PRIOR NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE PAID TO A THIRD PARTY AS PART OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM THAT IS COVERED BY THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE XVII.
20.15    Non-Solicitation. During the Term and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, neither Party shall solicit or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other Party directly involved in the Development, Manufacture or Commercialization of any IO Licensed Product to leave the employment of the other Party and accept employment with the first Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this prohibition on solicitation does not apply to actions taken by a Party solely as a result of an employee’s affirmative response to a general recruitment effort carried through a public solicitation or general solicitation.
20.16    Construction.
(a)    The use of words in the singular or plural, or with a particular gender, shall not limit the scope or exclude the application of any provision of this Agreement to such person or persons or circumstances as the context otherwise permits. The words “will” and “shall” shall have the same meaning and, unless the context otherwise requires, the use of the word “or” is used in the inclusive sense (and/or).

This Agreement has been prepared jointly and the provisions contained herein shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party to this Agreement because such Party drafted or caused such Party’s legal representative to draft any provision contained herein.

SCHEDULE 2
Quarterly True-Up

At the end of each Quarter, the Parties will calculate the net payment one Party shall be required to make to the other Party (the “Quarterly True-Up”) as follows:

(A)
The Quarterly True-Up shall be equal to (a) the Profit Split True-Up, (as set forth in Part I), minus (b) the Development Compensation Payment for such Quarter payable to Sanofi (as set forth in Part II), plus or minus (c) the Development Cost True-Up for such Quarter (as set forth in Part III).

(B)
If the Quarterly True-Up is an amount greater than zero, such amount shall be payable by Sanofi to Regeneron in accordance with the terms set forth in ARTICLE IX.

(C)
If the Quarterly True-Up is an amount less than zero, the absolute value of such amount shall be payable by Regeneron to Sanofi in accordance with the terms set forth in ARTICLE IX.


Two examples of the Quarterly True-Up are shown in Part IV.


PART I. PROFIT SPLIT TRUE-UP

Regeneron Profits” in a Quarter shall mean, (a) the sum of (i) Net Sales of all IO Licensed Products by Regeneron in the Territory in the Quarter, plus (ii) Other Shared Revenues received by Regeneron in such Quarter, less (b) the sum of (i) aggregate COGS incurred by Regeneron with respect to IO Licensed Products for which Regeneron is the Lead Commercialization Party in the U.S. in the Quarter, (ii) aggregate Shared Commercial Expenses incurred by Regeneron and allocable to the Territory in the Quarter, and (iii) aggregate Other Shared Expenses incurred by Regeneron and allocable to the Territory in the Quarter.

Sanofi Profits” in a Quarter shall mean, (a) the sum of (i) Net Sales of all IO Licensed Products by Sanofi in the Territory in the Quarter, plus (ii) Other Shared Revenues received by Sanofi in such Quarter, less (b) the sum of (i) aggregate COGS incurred by Sanofi with respect to IO Licensed Products for which Sanofi is the Lead Commercialization Party in the U.S. in the Quarter, (ii) aggregate COGS incurred by Sanofi with respect to IO Licensed Products in the ROW Territory in the Quarter, (iii) aggregate Shared Commercial Expenses incurred by Sanofi and allocable to the Territory in the Quarter, and (iii) aggregate Other Shared Expenses incurred by Sanofi and allocable to the Territory in the Quarter.

Profits” shall mean the Regeneron Profits with respect to Regeneron and the Sanofi Profits with respect to Sanofi, as the context requires.

Aggregate Profits” in a Quarter shall mean the Regeneron Profits for such Quarter plus the Sanofi Profits in such Quarter.

Other Shared Revenue” shall mean any [***].

Profit Split” shall mean fifty percent (50%) of the Aggregate Profits in a Quarter.

Profit Split True-Up” shall mean (a) the Profit Split in a Quarter, minus (b) the Regeneron Profits in a Quarter. For clarity, if the Regeneron Profits are more than the Sanofi Profits in a Quarter, then the Profit Split True-Up will be a negative number for that Quarter and if the Regeneron Profits are less than the Sanofi Profits in a Quarter, then the Profit Split True-Up will be a positive number for that Quarter.

PART II.    DEVELOPMENT COMPENSATION PAYMENT

IO Development Balance Costs” shall mean (a) fifty percent (50%) of the total Development Costs for IO Licensed Products for which Sanofi is the Post-POC Principal Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, such Development Costs for any Special Termination Product that is an IO Antibody until the time such Special Termination Product becomes an Special Termination Product) to the extent (i) directly attributable to the conduct of clinical trials of such IO Licensed Product (or Special Termination Product), (ii) incurred from and after the date that such IO Licensed Product (or Special Termination Product) first became an IO Licensed Product under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the IO Discovery Agreement, and (iii) consistent with the Global Development Budget in respect of such IO Licensed Product (or Special Termination Product), (b) [***] of the total Program Costs attributable to clinical development of IO Discovery Program Antibodies under the IO Discovery Program, solely to the extent that Sanofi made an IO “Upfront Payment” or IO Reimbursement Payment in respect of such Program Costs pursuant to Section 4.2 of the IO Discovery Agreement, and solely to the extent that Section 4.3 of the IO Discovery Agreement expressly provides that such Program Costs are to be added to the IO Development Balance, (c) [***] of the development costs incurred by Regeneron with respect to any Non-IO Indication for an IO Licensed Product, solely to the extent that Sanofi reimburses Regeneron for [***] of such development costs pursuant to Section 9.2(c), and (d) [***] of the Additional Trial Costs incurred by Regeneron as a Post-POC Other Party, solely to the extent that Sanofi reimburses Regeneron for [***] of such Additional Trial Costs pursuant to Section 9.2(d).

The “IO Development Balance” as of the end of a Quarter shall mean (a) the aggregate amount of IO Development Balance Costs incurred after the Effective Date through the close of such Quarter, less (b) the aggregate amount of Development Compensation Payments included in the calculation of the Quarterly True-Up in all prior Quarters.

If both the IO Development Balance as of the end of a Quarter is greater than zero and the Profit Split for the Quarter is greater than zero, the “Development Compensation Payment” for such Quarter shall equal the lower of (a) ten percent (10%) of the Profit Split for the Quarter and (b) the IO Development Balance. Otherwise, the Development Compensation Payment for the Quarter shall equal zero.

In the event that a Party intends to invoke the CREATE Act, as permitted by the preceding sentence, it shall notify the other Party and the Parties shall reasonably cooperate and coordinate their activities with respect to any such submissions, filings or other activities in support thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is a “joint research agreement” as defined in the CREATE Act, pre-AIA, 35 U.S.C. § 103(c)(2)-(c)(3), and post-AIA, 35 U.S.C. § 102(c).

ANNEX B
SHARE SETTLEMENT PROVISIONS
1.    Payment of any Daily Amendment Payment in Shares by Issuer shall be made by delivery on the Payment Date of a number of Shares satisfying the conditions set forth in paragraph 2 below (the “Registered Settlement Shares”), or a number of Shares not satisfying such conditions (the “Unregistered Settlement Shares”), in either case with a value equal to such Daily Amendment Payment, with such Shares’ value determined by Dealer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner (which value shall, in the case of Unregistered Settlement Shares, take into account a commercially reasonable illiquidity discount).

2.    Issuer may only deliver Registered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 1 above if:
(a)    a registration statement covering the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer (the “Registration Statement”) shall have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act and been declared or otherwise become effective on or prior to the date of delivery, and no stop order shall be in effect with respect to the Registration Statement; a printed prospectus relating to the Registered Settlement Shares (including any prospectus supplement thereto, the “Prospectus”) shall have been delivered to Dealer, in such quantities as Dealer shall reasonably have requested, on or prior to the date of delivery;
(b)    the form and content of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including, without limitation, any sections describing the plan of distribution) shall be reasonably satisfactory to Dealer;
(c)    as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and its agents shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Issuer customary in scope for underwritten offerings of equity securities and the results of such investigation are satisfactory to Dealer, in its good faith discretion; and
(d)    as of the date of delivery, an agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) shall have been entered into with Dealer in connection with the public resale of the Registered Settlement Shares by Dealer substantially similar to underwriting agreements customary for underwritten offerings of equity securities of a similar size by companies similar to Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Underwriting Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such underwriting agreements for offerings of a similar size by companies similar to Issuer relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters.
3.    If Issuer delivers Unregistered Settlement Shares pursuant to paragraph 1 above:
(a)    all Unregistered Settlement Shares shall be delivered to Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof;
(b)    as of or prior to the date of delivery, Dealer and any potential purchaser of any such Unregistered Settlement Shares from Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) identified by Dealer shall be afforded a commercially reasonable opportunity to conduct a due diligence investigation with respect to Issuer customary in scope for private placements of equity securities of a similar size by companies similar to Issuer (including, without limitation, the right to have made available to them for inspection all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and other information reasonably requested by them);
(c)    as of the date of delivery, Issuer shall enter into an agreement (a “Private Placement Agreement”) with Dealer (or any affiliate of Dealer designated by Dealer) in connection with the private placement

10


of such Unregistered Settlement Shares by Issuer to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such Unregistered Settlement Shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), substantially similar to private placement purchase agreements customary for private placements of equity securities of a similar size by companies similar to Issuer, in form and substance commercially reasonably satisfactory to Dealer, which Private Placement Agreement shall include, without limitation, provisions substantially similar to those contained in such private placement purchase agreements for offerings of similar size by companies similar to Issuer relating, without limitation, to the indemnification of, and contribution in connection with the liability of, Dealer and its affiliates and the provision of customary opinions, accountants’ comfort letters and lawyers’ negative assurance letters, and shall provide for the payment by Issuer of all commercially reasonable fees and expenses in connection with such resale, including all commercially reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for Dealer, and shall contain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Issuer reasonably necessary or advisable to establish and maintain the availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act for such resale; and
(d)    in connection with the private placement of such shares by Issuer to Dealer (or any such affiliate) and the private resale of such shares by Dealer (or any such affiliate), Issuer shall, if so requested by Dealer, prepare, in cooperation with Dealer, a private placement memorandum in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Dealer and customary for private placements of equity securities of similar size by companies similar to Issuer.
4.    Dealer, itself or through an affiliate (the “Selling Agent”) or any underwriter(s), will sell, in a commercially reasonable manner and over a commercially reasonable period, all, or such lesser portion as may be required hereunder, of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares and any Makewhole Shares (as defined below) (together, the “Settlement Shares”) delivered by Issuer to Dealer pursuant to paragraph 5 below in a commercially reasonable manner commencing on the date one Settlement Cycle following the Termination Date (such date, the “Net Share Settlement Date” for purposes of Net Share Settlement by Issuer) and continuing until the date on which the aggregate Net Proceeds (as such term is defined below) of such sales, as determined by Dealer in a commercially reasonable manner, is equal to the Amendment Payment (such date, the “Final Resale Date”). If the proceeds of any sale(s) made by Dealer, the Selling Agent or any underwriter(s), net of any commercially reasonable fees and commissions (including, without limitation, commercially reasonable underwriting or placement fees) customary for similar transactions of a similar size under the circumstances at the time of the offering, together with commercially reasonable carrying charges and expenses incurred in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares (including, but without limitation to, the covering of any over-allotment or short position (syndicate or otherwise)) (the “Net Proceeds”) exceed the Amendment Payment, Dealer will refund, in USD, such excess to Issuer on the date that is three (3) Currency Business Days following the Final Resale Date, and, if any portion of the Settlement Shares remains unsold, Dealer shall return to Issuer on that date such unsold Shares.
5.    If the Calculation Agent determines that the Net Proceeds received from the sale of the Registered Settlement Shares or Unregistered Settlement Shares or any Makewhole Shares, if any, pursuant to this paragraph 5 are less than the Amendment Payment (the amount in USD by which the Net Proceeds are less than the Amendment Payment being the “Shortfall” and the date on which such determination is made, the “Deficiency Determination Date”), Issuer shall on the Exchange Business Day next succeeding the Deficiency Determination Date (the “Makewhole Notice Date”) deliver to Dealer, through the Selling Agent, a notice of Issuer’s election that Issuer shall either (i) pay an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall on the day that is one (1) Currency Business Day after the Makewhole Notice Date, or (ii) deliver additional Shares. If Issuer elects to deliver to Dealer additional Shares, then Issuer shall deliver additional Shares in compliance with the terms and conditions of paragraph 2 or paragraph 3 above, as the case may be (the “Makewhole Shares”), on the first Clearance System Business Day which is also an Exchange Business Day following the Makewhole Notice Date in such number as the Calculation Agent commercially reasonably believes would have a market value on that Exchange Business Day equal to the Shortfall. Such Makewhole Shares shall be sold by Dealer in accordance with the provisions above; provided that if the sum of the Net Proceeds from the sale of the originally delivered Shares and the Net Proceeds from the sale of any Makewhole Shares is less than the Amendment Payment then Issuer shall, at its election, either make such cash payment or deliver to Dealer further Makewhole Shares until such Shortfall has been reduced to zero.
6.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the Issuer’s ability to elect to settle any Daily Amendment Payment in Shares, as provided in this Annex B, in no event shall the aggregate number of Settlement

11


Shares and Makewhole Shares required to be delivered by the Issuer upon settlement of all Daily Amendment Payments so settled in Shares, in the aggregate, be greater than 250,000 Shares (the “Maximum Number of Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the Company be required to deliver cash in the event the aggregate number of Settlement Shares and Makewhole Shares required to be delivered by the Issuer upon settlement of all Daily Amendment Payments so settled in Shares, in the aggregate, would, but for the foregoing sentence, exceed the Maximum Number of Shares.

sold during such Calendar Quarter, calculated as set forth above; (d) the Purchase Price Adjustments (including any Purchase Price Adjustment B) payable in the country’s currency where such Net Sales occurred; (e) the applicable exchange rate to convert from each country’s currency to United States dollars under Section 7.7; and (f) all credits applied against the Purchase Price Adjustment, and the final net Purchase Price Adjustment payable in United States dollars. An example of the Purchase Price Adjustment Report and a Purchase Price Adjustment calculation is set forth in the Purchase Price Adjustment Appendix.
7.2.2    Subject to Section 7.2.4, the Purchase Price Adjustment A for the Product as calculated pursuant to Section 7.2.1(b) will be [***]. For example, if the condition described in this Section 7.2.2 has occurred in any country, then [***].
7.2.3    Subject to Section 7.2.4, if MTPC is required to obtain a license from a Third Party under such Third Party’s patents in order to Develop or Commercialize the Product in any country in the Territory (i.e., because the Commercialization of the Product in such country infringes upon a valid claim of such Third Party’s patent), MTPC shall be entitled to deduct from the Purchase Price Adjustments of the Product as calculated pursuant to Section 7.2.1 [***], but in no event will such deduction, when combined with any reduction applied pursuant to Section 7.2.2, exceed the following amount in any Calendar Quarter: [***].
7.2.4    If the Purchase Price for the Product (calculated as the Purchase Price Adjustment that would be paid pursuant to Section 7.2.1, after any adjustments made pursuant to Sections 7.2.2 and 7.2.3, plus the Initial Purchase Price attributable to such units of Product in accordance with Accounting Standards) would be [***]. In the event MTPC is required to make an additional payment under this Section 7.2.4, then all credits that would otherwise have been applicable under Section 7.2.3 shall be reversed to the extent of the additional payments under this Section 7.2.4 (and MTPC shall retain such credits for possible application in future periods), and any reductions that would have been allowed under Section 7.2.2 shall be inapplicable to the extent necessary to provide for the payment required under this Section 7.2.4.
7.2.5    No later than [***] prior to the anticipated first delivery of Product to MTPC and [***] prior to the start of each Calendar Year thereafter, Regeneron will provide MTPC with the Fully Burdened Manufacturing Cost for each unit of Product for the upcoming Calendar Year, calculated in accordance with its customary cost accounting procedures, for purposes of the Initial Purchase Price payments under Section 7.2.1(a).
7.3    Failed Lots. During the Term, Regeneron shall provide MTPC reasonable documentation to support that a specific lot or batch was Manufactured for supply in the Territory pursuant to the Clinical Supply Agreement or Commercial Supply Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Year, Regeneron shall provide to MTPC a report describing any Failed Lots of Product that was to be supplied to MTPC pursuant to the Clinical Supply Agreement or Commercial Supply Agreement during such Calendar Year. [***]. As used in this Section, “Failed Lots” means any Products, or raw materials, drug substances or intermediates thereof, which fail to meet specifications agreed by the Parties in separate agreements in accordance with Sections 8.2 and 8.3, identified by any quality or release tests conducted prior to delivery of the Product to MTPC (or at MTPC’s request, any of MTPC’s Affiliates or MTPC Distributors).

7.5    Territory Required Activities and Territory Cooperation Activities Payments. If Regeneron performs or has performed any Territory Required Activities or Territory Cooperation Activities at MTPC’s request in order to support MTPC’s Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory, then MTPC will reimburse Regeneron [***].
7.6    Territory Benefited Activities. If Regeneron performs any Territory Benefitted Activities and MTPC requests any data, information, results or materials from such Territory Benefitted Activities or otherwise to participate in or benefit from such Territory Benefitted Activities, then [***]. If [***], then Regeneron shall allow MTPC to otherwise participate in or benefit from the applicable Territory Benefitted Activities as mutually agreed.
7.7    Payment Method and Currency. All payments under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by the Party to which such payments are due. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all payments may be invoiced after becoming due under this Agreement and shall be made within [***] after receipt of such invoice. All sums due under this Agreement shall be payable in United States Dollars. In those cases where the amount due is calculated based upon sales made or amounts incurred in one or more currencies other than United States Dollars, such amounts shall be converted to United States Dollars at the average rate of exchange for the Calendar Quarter to which such payment relates using the arithmetic mean of the daily rate of exchange, as reported in Thomson Reuters Eikon as the Mid Price Close, or in the event that Thomson Reuters Eikon does not have data available for the Quarter, then in The Wall Street Journal.
7.8    Interest on Overdue Payments. Any amounts not paid by either Party when due under this Agreement will be subject to interest from and after the date payment is due through and including the date upon which such Party makes such payment in immediately available funds at a rate equal to the one (1) month London Inter-Bank Offering Rate (LIBOR) U.S. Dollars, as quoted in Thomson Reuters Eikon (or any other source agreed to by the Parties) effective for the date on which the payment was due, [***] or if lower, the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.

Affiliates will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to secure available exemption(s) from Indirect Taxes and/or to cooperate with the other Party’s efforts to obtain maximum recovery of Indirect Taxes paid or incurred by such Party or any Affiliate, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
7.10    Prohibited Payments. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement, if MTPC is prevented from paying any payments by virtue of the statutes, laws, codes or governmental regulations of the country from which the payment is to be made, then such payment may be paid by depositing funds in the currency in which it accrued to Regeneron’s account in a bank reasonably acceptable to Regeneron in the country whose currency is involved.
ARTICLE VIII
REGENERON SUPPLY OF PRODUCT
8.1    Regeneron Supply of Product. Regeneron agrees to manufacture or have manufactured and supply or have supplied exclusively to MTPC Product for Development and Commercialization in the Territory, in exchange for the payments described herein and pursuant to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Clinical Supply Agreement and Commercial Supply Agreement, as applicable.

quality agreement with respect to Product to be manufactured by or for Regeneron and supplied to MTPC under the Clinical Supply Agreement (the “Quality Agreement”) and, at least [***] prior to the expected date the first Marketing Approval is anticipated to be obtained, the Parties shall review and, if applicable, amend such Quality Agreement, as the case may be, with respect to Product to be supplied to MTPC under the Commercial Supply Agreement for use in the Commercialization of the Product in the Territory.
8.6    Manufacturing Process Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Commercial Supply Agreement, the Clinical Supply Agreement and/or the Quality Agreement, Regeneron shall have the right, in its discretion, to make improvements to and otherwise modify the Manufacture of the Product from time to time (“Manufacturing Process Improvements”). Regeneron will make all Manufacturing Process Improvements applicable to the Product in the Territory available to MTPC and Regeneron shall be solely responsible for its Costs in making any Manufacturing Process Improvement. Prior to adopting any Manufacturing Process Improvements for the Product in the Territory requiring a change in the Territory Development Plan or any supplementary Regulatory Activities by MTPC, its Affiliates, or MTPC Distributors, Regeneron shall provide sufficient information for MTPC to determine whether to adopt such Manufacturing Process Improvements. The Parties shall, at the JMC, and, if requested by MTPC, at any other Committees, discuss and mutually agree upon whether to adopt such Manufacturing Process Improvements and if so, the appropriate timing to adopt such Manufacturing Process Improvements. For clarity, MTPC shall be responsible for any Costs relating to Development or Regulatory Activities for the Product resulting from any Manufacturing Process Improvement. If MTPC elects not to adopt any such Manufacturing Process Improvement for the Product in the Territory, such that at any time the Product would need to be Manufactured in any manner other than Regeneron’s method of Manufacturing of the Product with such Manufacturing Process Improvement (such requested manner, the “Alternate Manufacturing”), then Regeneron may, in its discretion, (a) perform such Alternate Manufacturing or (b) transfer a portion or all of such Alternate Manufacturing activities to one or more Third Parties at MTPC’s cost, provided that in such case Regeneron shall remain responsible for the performance of such Third Parties.
ARTICLE IX
RECORDS AND REPORTING
9.1    Reports. In addition to the reports required to be provided pursuant to Article VII, MTPC will provide reports to Regeneron within thirty (30) days of the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Term summarizing MTPC’s Development and Commercialization activities under this Agreement during such Calendar Quarter, including a general description of any clinical development activities, Regulatory Activities, and Sales and Marketing Activities by MTPC during such Calendar Quarter, and the date of the First Commercial Sale in a country (if applicable), if such activities occurred during such Calendar Quarter.

books and records necessary to permit calculation and verification of the Purchase Price Adjustments due under Article VII.
9.3    Audits.
9.3.1    Upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written Notice to MTPC and not more often than once each Calendar Year, Regeneron may have an independent certified public accountant selected by Regeneron and reasonably acceptable to MTPC, examine during regular business hours the books and records required to be maintained under Section 9.2 and/or books and records of the Costs under Section 4.3.2(b), at Regeneron’s expense, for the sole purpose of verifying the accuracy of the Purchase Price Adjustments payable to Regeneron hereunder and the associated reports furnished by MTPC with respect thereto, and/or the MTPC Cost Share, and solely for prior periods covering, for any particular audit, no more than the three (3) full Calendar Years prior to the date of such audit. Any amounts shown to be owed but unpaid as a result of such audit shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report (plus interest on such amounts pursuant to Section 7.8), unless challenged as provided below. Any amounts shown to have been overpaid shall be refunded to MTPC within thirty (30) days from the accountant’s report. Regeneron shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment of more than [***] of the amounts paid during such audit period, in which case MTPC shall bear the full reasonable out-of-pocket, external cost of such audit.
9.3.2    If MTPC challenges the results of the audit in good faith, MTPC shall be entitled at its own cost and expense to obtain a second independent certified public accountant to confirm the accuracy of the first audit. If the results of the confirmatory audit are substantially similar to the results of the first audit, any amounts owed or overpaid by MTPC shall be paid or refunded in accordance with the procedures above. If the results of the confirmatory audit are not substantially similar to the results of the first audit, each Party shall cause its respective auditors to identify the discrepancy and to agree on a final amount owed or overpaid (as the case may be) by MTPC that shall be final and binding on the Parties. If the auditors cannot resolve the discrepancy, the Parties shall submit the matter to the JSC. In the event that the JSC is unable to resolve such discrepancy within ten (10) Business Days (but excluding any scheduled corporate holidays at either Party’s head office) of receipt by a Party of Notice of such dispute, either Party may submit the dispute to the Executive Officers for resolution, with neither Party’s Executive Officers having the final right to decide the resolution of the dispute.
ARTICLE X
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PROVISIONS
10.1    Inventions.
10.1.1    Regeneron will retain sole ownership of all Regeneron Inventions and MTPC shall retain sole ownership of all MTPC Inventions. Each Party shall retain joint ownership of any Joint Inventions. During the Term, each Party shall have full rights to exploit and license such Joint Inventions (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), without the consent of the other Party or any obligation or requirement of an accounting to the other Party, (a) in the case of MTPC, solely in the Territory (subject to Regeneron’s reservation

of rights under Section 2.10), and (b) in the case of Regeneron, solely outside the Territory. During the Term, neither Party shall exploit and/or license any such Joint Inventions (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), without the consent of the other Party, (x) in the case of MTPC, outside the Territory, and (y) in the case of Regeneron, in the Territory. Following the Term, each Party shall have full rights to exploit and license any Joint Invention (and any patent rights or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto) anywhere in the world, without the consent of the other Party or any obligation or requirement of an accounting to the other Party, and each Party hereby grants to the other Party any consents necessary to exploit and license any Joint Invention in accordance with this sentence, without prejudice to the need for such consents to be separately and expressly granted under this Section 10.1.1 or Section 10.1.3. The Parties shall mutually determine, on a case-by-case basis, which Party shall have primary responsibility for the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of any patents or patent applications claiming or covering Joint Inventions. MTPC shall bear all external fees and costs incurred with respect to preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents or patent applications for Joint Inventions in the Territory and Regeneron shall bear all fees and costs incurred with respect to preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patents or patent applications for Joint Inventions outside of the Territory. The Party who is responsible for filing any such patent applications for the Joint Inventions will be termed the “Lead Party”. The Lead Party shall confer with and keep the non-Lead Party reasonably informed regarding the status of such activities, including by providing the non-Lead Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on in advance any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Lead Party and non-Lead Party shall agree in advance on a general patent prosecution strategy for Joint Inventions addressing, among other things, the scope of claims to be pursued and the countries in which patents covering Joint Inventions will be filed and prosecuted. If the Parties do not agree in advance on such strategy or on the content of any such filings, the Lead Party shall have the right to make the decision using its reasonable judgment as necessary to obtain appropriately broad coverage for the applicable Joint Invention; provided that Lead Party shall reflect any reasonable comments offered by non-Lead Party in any final filings submitted to Governmental Authority to the extent such comments are intended to prevent any detrimental effect on the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of patents owned or Controlled by such non-Lead Party for the Product, unless the Lead Party reasonably determines such comments to be detrimental to the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of any patents owned or Controlled by Lead Party for the Product. In the event that the Lead Party desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application claiming or covering any Joint Invention, such Party shall provide prompt notice to the non-Lead Party of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from the Lead Party intending to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance, upon the non-Lead Party’s written election, such non-Lead Party shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such patent or patent application at its’ own expense.
10.1.2    Each Party will cause all Persons who perform clinical development activities or regulatory activities for such Party or its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors or MTPC Distributors under this Agreement to be under an obligation to assign their rights in any inventions resulting therefrom to such Party, except where Applicable Law requires otherwise and except in the case of governmental, not-for-profit and public institutions which have standard

policies against such an assignment (in which case a suitable license, or right to obtain such a license, shall be obtained).
10.1.3    Each Party will promptly disclose to the other Party, in writing, and will cause its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors, MTPC Distributors, agents, and independent contractors to so disclose to the other Party, any Regeneron Invention relating to Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory, Joint Inventions or MTPC Inventions conceived, made or generated by such Party which are, in such Party’s reasonable judgment, potentially patentable. MTPC will have the option but not the obligation to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain MTPC Inventions on a worldwide basis, at MTPC’s sole cost and expense. MTPC will consider in good faith any requests and suggestions of Regeneron with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting MTPC Inventions outside of the Territory and will keep Regeneron informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of MTPC Inventions. For clarity, all MTPC Inventions preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance in the Territory shall be in MTPC’s sole discretion. MTPC hereby grants to Regeneron, a non-exclusive, fully paid, irrevocable, fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license, under the MTPC Inventions and Joint Inventions (and any patents or other intellectual property rights therein or thereto), to research, develop, use, make, have made, import, offer for sale, sell and otherwise commercialize Products outside the Territory during the Term. Following the Term, the license in the previous sentence shall automatically become perpetual and worldwide, except in the cases of termination pursuant to Section 15.5 by MTPC upon Regeneron’s material breach, or by Regeneron under Section 15.6. If MTPC wants to exploit or license any Joint Invention or MTPC Invention outside the Territory, MTPC shall obtain Regeneron’s prior written consent. In the event that MTPC desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application claiming or covering any MTPC Invention outside Territory, MTPC shall provide prompt notice to the Regeneron of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from MTPC intending to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance, upon Regeneron’s written election, Regeneron shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such patent or patent application at its’ own expense. In such case, Regeneron shall keep MTPC reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such patent for such MTPC Invention, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such patent for such MTPC Invention. Regeneron will provide MTPC with copies of, and an opportunity to review and provide comment on, any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Parties will discuss in good faith the incorporation of MTPC’s proposed comments to avoid any inconsistency with MTPC’s global patent strategy. If Regeneron does not provide such election within thirty (30) days after such notice from MTPC, MTPC may, at its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such patent for the MTPC Invention or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such patent for the MTPC Invention.
10.2    Patent Prosecution and Maintenance. Regeneron will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prepare, file, prosecute and maintain (a) the Patents and (b) any patent or patent application claiming or covering a Regeneron Invention directed to the use or planned use of the Product in the Field in the Territory under this Agreement, in each case, at Regeneron’s sole cost and expense. Regeneron will consider in good faith any requests and suggestions of MTPC with respect to strategies for filing and prosecuting the Patents in the Territory and will keep MTPC

informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patents. In the event that Regeneron desires to abandon or cease prosecution or maintenance of any Patents in the Territory, Regeneron shall provide prompt notice to MTPC of such intention. In such case, no later than thirty (30) days after such notice from Regeneron, upon MTPC’s written election, MTPC shall have the right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Patent at MTPC’s expense; provided however that MTPC shall have no right to assume prosecution and maintenance of such Patent unless abandonment of such Patent causes substantial loss of patent rights for the Product in the Territory. In such case, MTPC shall keep Regeneron reasonably informed of progress with regard to the preparation, filing, prosecution and maintenance of such Patent, including content, timing and jurisdiction of the filing of such Patent. MTPC will provide Regeneron with copies of, and an opportunity to review and provide comment on, any material filings and correspondence with applicable patent offices. The Parties will discuss in good faith the incorporation of Regeneron’s proposed comments to avoid any inconsistency with Regeneron’s global Patent strategy. If MTPC does not provide such election within thirty (30) days after such notice from Regeneron, Regeneron may, at its sole discretion, continue prosecution and maintenance of such Patent or discontinue prosecution and maintenance of such Patent.
10.3    Enforcement of Patents against Infringement in the Territory.
10.3.1    Initiation. MTPC and Regeneron will each promptly notify the other in writing of any alleged or threatened infringement of the Patents by a Third Party, or any alleged or threatened assertion of invalidity of any of the Patents by a Third Party wherein such infringement is based upon the development, commercialization or an application to market any Anti-NGF Antibody Product by a Third Party in the Field in the Territory and of which such Party becomes aware. The notifying Party shall provide all relevant evidence of such infringement of which they are aware. Regeneron will have the first right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any such infringement at its own expense. MTPC shall have the right to join as a party to such suit, if permitted by Applicable Law, to recover its damages and participate with its own counsel; provided that Regeneron shall retain control of the prosecution of such suit. If Regeneron (i) does not commence an infringement action against such alleged or threatened infringement prior to the first to occur of (a) the expiration of the [***] following the first notice provided above with respect to such alleged infringement, or (b) if such [***] period would exceed the time limit set forth in appropriate laws and regulations for filing of such actions, the beginning of the [***] period before such time limit; or (ii) notifies MTPC in writing that it has no intention of commencing an infringement action against such alleged or threatened infringement, whichever comes first, then [***].
10.3.2    Cooperation.
(a)    In the event Regeneron brings an infringement action in the Territory of [***] pursuant to this Section 10.3, MTPC will cooperate fully, including, the furnishing of a power of attorney solely for such purpose or to join or be named as a party to such action if permitted by Applicable Laws. Regeneron shall have the sole and exclusive right to, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, initiate, defend and/or settle and to take other actions that Regeneron, in its sole discretion, deems to be proper, justified or necessary in any such infringement

47
 

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.



action, including any proceeding involving the infringement, suspected infringement or validity of the Patents; provided, however, that Regeneron shall not have the right to settle such patent infringement litigation in a manner that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, MTPC without the express written consent of MTPC, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Regeneron will provide MTPC with copies of all pleadings and other documents filed with the court and will consider reasonable input from MTPC during the course of the proceedings.
(b)    [***].
10.3.3    Recovery. Except as otherwise agreed by the Parties in connection with a cost sharing arrangement, any recovery realized as a result of such litigation described in Section 10.3.1 (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) will be (a) first, allocated to reimbursement of unreimbursed legal fees and expenses incurred by the Party paying for the proceeding, then toward reimbursement of any of unreimbursed legal fees and expenses (if any) of the other Party reasonably incurred in connection with such proceeding, and (b) second, the remainder will be divided between the Parties as follows: [***].
10.4    Invalidity or Unenforceability Defenses or Actions. If a Third Party asserts, as a defense or as a counterclaim in any action or proceeding with respect to an infringement action under Section 10.3, that any Patent is invalid or unenforceable, then Regeneron, through the counsel engaged by Regeneron pursuant to Section 10.3, shall respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable); provided, that the Parties shall fully discuss and seek to agree on the strategy of such response, considering and accommodating MTPC’s and Regeneron’s global intellectual property litigation positions in all such decisions that may impact such global positions. The Parties’ reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of conducting any such action or proceeding shall be entirely borne by the Party that is paying for such infringement action under Section 10.3.
10.5    Administrative Patent Proceedings. Each Party will notify the other within ten (10) days of receipt by such Party of information concerning the request for, or filing or declaration of, any reissue, post-grant review, inter partes review, derivation proceeding, supplemental examination, interference, opposition, reexamination or other administrative proceeding relating to Patents in the Territory. The Party controlling the prosecution of the respective Patents shall control the course of action with respect to any such proceeding, but the Parties will reasonably consult with one another in an effort to agree with respect to decisions on whether to initiate or how to respond to such a proceeding, as applicable, and the course of action in such proceeding, including settlement negotiations and terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any proceeding under this Section 10.5 involves Patents involved in an infringement action under Section 10.3, any decisions on whether to initiate or how to respond to such a proceeding, as applicable, and the course of action in such proceeding shall be made by the Party controlling such Third Party infringement action in consultation with the other Party. All costs incurred in connection with any proceeding under this Section 10.5 relating to the Patents shall be borne solely by the Party that is controlling such activities.

10.6    Joint Inventions. If a Third Party asserts, as a defense or counterclaim in any action or proceeding with respect to patent rights in a Joint Invention, that any such patent right is invalid or unenforceable, then Regeneron shall respond to such defense or defend against such counterclaim (as applicable) if the proceeding is with respect to patent rights outside the Territory, and MTPC shall do so if the proceeding is with respect to patent rights inside the Territory. If either party wishes to initiate an infringement or other action with respect to patent rights in a Joint Invention, the Parties will review and confer as to the appropriate strategy before commencing such action.
10.7    Third Party Infringement Claims. In the event that a Third Party makes any claim, gives notice, or brings any suit or other inter partes proceeding against MTPC, its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors or MTPC Distributors, that the Development or Commercialization of the Product in the Territory infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of such Third Party ("Third Party Infringement Claim"), in each case, Regeneron will cooperate with MTPC as to potential strategies to defend against any Third Party Infringement Claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement, including by being joined as a party and/or asserting any Know-How or Patents against such Third Party. Regeneron shall reasonably cooperate with MTPC in connection with any such defense. In such event, MTPC shall not enter into settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of such claim without consent of Regeneron, if such settlement imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by Regeneron, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. In the event that a Third Party makes any claim, gives notice, or brings any suit or other inter partes proceeding in the Territory against Regeneron or its Affiliates, that the Manufacture of the Product inside or outside the Territory infringes or misappropriates any intellectual property rights of such Third Party in the Territory, Regeneron will defend against such claim, consistent with the overall goals of this Agreement. In such event, Regeneron shall not enter into settlement, consent judgment, or other voluntary final disposition of such claim without consent of MTPC, if such settlement imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by MTPC, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
10.8    Trademarks.
10.8.1    Global Brand and Trademarks. The goal of the Parties is to obtain and maintain consistent global branding and Trademarks for the Product. Through the JSC, Regeneron shall consider recommendations provided by MTPC to Regeneron regarding the selection of the names, marks and logos to be used for Products outside the Territory for purposes of selecting such names, marks and logos that can also be used within the Territory as part of a global brand, but Regeneron is under no obligation to adopt or use any such recommendations. Regeneron shall be free to select any Trademarks that it Controls for use in the Field with the Product outside of the Territory in its sole discretion.
10.8.2    Potential Trademark License. In the event that the Regeneron decides to offer MTPC the right to use, in the Territory and the Field with respect to the Commercialization of the Product, any Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates, Regeneron will offer a license to such Trademark in a Notice under this Agreement naming the relevant Trademark.

10.8.3    Trademark License. Following such Notice from Regeneron, and effective immediately upon MTPC’s provision of Notice that it accepts such license from Regeneron naming the relevant Trademark, Regeneron hereby grants to MTPC an exclusive, royalty-free license to use such Trademark solely in connection with MTPC’s Development and Commercialization of Product in the Field in the Territory in compliance with this Agreement (the “Trademark License”) and quality standards required by Regeneron. Such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates shall be considered, solely with respect to the Territory, a “Regeneron Product Trademark.” Any and all goodwill derived from the use of such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates shall inure solely to the benefit of Regeneron or its Affiliates. Unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Parties, Regeneron (or its Affiliate, as appropriate) shall own and retain all right, title and interest, and all goodwill, in and to such Trademark Controlled by Regeneron (or such Affiliate). Upon request by either Party, the other Party shall (or shall cause its Affiliates, as appropriate, to) execute such documents as may reasonably be required for the purpose of recording with any Governmental Authority the Trademark License.
10.8.4    MTPC Selected Trademark. If MTPC does not accept the foregoing offer of a license to a Trademark Controlled by Regeneron or its Affiliates from Regeneron, or if Regeneron does not make such a license offer, including if MTPC reasonably determines that it is not appropriate, due to local considerations in the Territory, to use such Trademark in connection with MTPC’s Development and Commercialization of Product in compliance with this Agreement, then MTPC will select, considering the global positioning for the Product, other Trademark(s) for sale of the Product in such country in the Territory, subject to Regeneron’s prior approval at its reasonable discretion, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If approved, each such Trademark selected by MTPC shall be an “MTPC Product Trademark.”
10.8.5    Trademark Usage. MTPC agrees that its and its Affiliates’, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors’ use of any Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks shall comply with this Agreement, all Applicable Law and Regeneron’s Trademark policies. MTPC will refrain from any use of Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks in a manner that threatens to damage the goodwill associated with the respective Trademarks or which threatens to tarnish the reputation or otherwise reflect unfavorably upon the owner of the Trademarks. MTPC shall not during or after the term of the Agreement, anywhere in the world, take any action that in Regeneron’s sole and absolute discretion impairs or contests or is likely to impair or contest the validity of the Regeneron’s right, title and interest in and to any Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks including, but not limited to, using, or filing an application to register, any word, mark, symbol or device, or any combination thereof, that is confusingly similar to or dilutes the distinctiveness of any of Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks. If MTPC takes any such action, then Regeneron has the right to terminate the Trademark License immediately upon notice to MTPC.
10.8.6    Ownership, Filing, Prosecution and Maintenance for Product Trademarks. MTPC will coordinate and collaborate with Regeneron to secure all rights to Regeneron or MTPC (taking into account Applicable Law, the requirements of applicable Regulatory Authorities, and the interests of the then-current owner of the Product Trademark as between the Parties), in the Product Trademarks for use in connection with the Commercialization

of Products in the Territory for use in the Field. The Party that owns Product Trademarks will be responsible for (and shall control) the filing, prosecution, maintenance, enforcement and defense of all registrations of the Product Trademarks in the Territory, and will be responsible for the payment of any costs incurred by such Party relating to filing, prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory; provided, however, that the non-owning Party may elect at its expense to participate in the defense or enforcement of the Product Trademarks in the Territory (and shall have the right to lead such defense or enforcement in the event the owning Party fails to do so). In any event, each Party will provide to the other Party prompt written Notice of any actual or threatened infringement of Product Trademarks in the Territory.
10.8.7    Product Labeling and Patent Rights Marking. Subject to Applicable Law, MTPC will identify Regeneron as the manufacturer of the Product (including on package inserts, packaging and trade packaging for, and samples of, Product), using the Regeneron Trademarks designated by Regeneron for such use, in a manner approved in advance in writing by both Parties and in accordance with (and subject to) the Trademark License. To the extent reasonable and customary in the industry for such Products, MTPC will mark all Products sold by MTPC with appropriate Product Trademarks and patent numbers to the extent permitted by Applicable Law in the country within the Territory where such Product is sold. Any and all goodwill derived from the use of the Regeneron Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of Regeneron. MTPC may, in its sole discretion, include any MTPC Trademarks on the Product, and on the labels, packaging, promotional materials and other materials therefor. Any and all goodwill derived from the use of the MTPC Trademarks shall inure solely to the benefit of MTPC.
10.8.8    Quality Control. All use by MTPC, its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors of the Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks shall be in accordance with (a) rules established by the JCC and (b) quality standards established by the JCC which are reasonably necessary in order to preserve the validity and enforceability of the Product Trademarks and Regeneron Trademarks. During the Term, MTPC shall submit samples of promotional materials, Product-related materials, package inserts, packaging, trade packaging, and the like to Regeneron for its prior approval, including approval of the usage of any Product Trademarks or Regeneron Trademarks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at least thirty (30) days before dissemination of such materials. Failure of Regeneron to object within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute approval of such MTPC materials. If Regeneron objects within such thirty (30) day period, then the Parties shall discuss changes to such MTPC materials in good faith and shall resolve any dispute regarding such changes through the dispute resolution procedures applicable to a Legal Dispute in Article XVI.

14.2    Indemnity by Regeneron. Regeneron hereby agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify MTPC and its Affiliates, MTPC Contractors and MTPC Distributors and its and their agents, directors, officers and employees (the “MTPC Indemnitees”) from and against any and all

60

Losses incurred by a MTPC Indemnitee in connection with any and all Third Party claims arising or resulting from (a) any breach (or alleged breach) of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by or obligations of Regeneron under this Agreement, (b) the development or commercialization of the Product by or on behalf of Regeneron or its Affiliates or licensees outside the Territory, (c) any product liability caused by a defect in Manufacture caused by Regeneron (but not any Third Party Fill/Finish Provider) or (d) any product liability caused by a defect in Manufacture caused by a Third Party Fill/Finish Provider, except, in the case of (a) to (d), to the extent such Losses arise from negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of a MTPC Indemnitee; provided that, Regeneron’s indemnity obligation under clause (d) shall be limited to [***].
14.3    Procedure for Indemnification. If a Regeneron Indemnitee or a MTPC Indemnitee (as the case may be, an “Indemnitee”) wishes to seek indemnification hereunder, such Indemnitee will provide Notice to the Party obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the Third Party claim giving rise to the obligation to indemnify as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving notice of such Third Party claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement. The Indemnitee will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party (and its insurer) as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differences in the interests of such Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel. In all other cases, the Indemnitee will have the right to participate in such defense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control, using its own counsel at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party will have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided, that the Indemnifying Party does not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay any such written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall seek the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party for any settlement of a Third Party claim subject to indemnification hereunder (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement would materially diminish or materially adversely affect the scope, exclusivity or duration of the Patents or Know-How, would require any payment by such Indemnified Party, would require an admission of legal wrongdoing in any way on the part of an Indemnified Party, or would effect an amendment of this Agreement (otherwise, no such consent shall be required). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnitee may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the claim in any manner the Indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this ARTICLE XIV.
14.4    Insurance. During the Term and for a minimum period of five (5) years thereafter and for an otherwise longer period as may be required by Applicable Law, each of Regeneron and MTPC will (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to procure and maintain appropriate commercial general liability and product liability insurance in an amount not less than [***] United

61
 

Certain portions of this Exhibit have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidentiality. Such omitted portions, which are marked with brackets and three asterisks [***], have been separately filed with the Commission.



States Dollars ($[***]) per occurrence and in the annual aggregate or (ii) procure and maintain adequate insurance by means of self-insurance in such amounts and on such terms as are consistent with normal business practices of large pharmaceutical companies in the life sciences industry. Such insurance shall insure against liability arising from this Agreement on the part of Regeneron or MTPC, respectively, or any of their respective Affiliates, due to injury, disability or death of any person or persons, or property damage arising from activities performed in connection with this Agreement. Any insurance proceeds received by a Party in connection with any Losses shall be retained by such Party and shall not reduce any obligation of the other Party.
ARTICLE XV
TERM AND TERMINATION
15.1    Term. The term (“Term”) of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and, unless earlier terminated as expressly provided below in this ARTICLE XV, will expire on the date that MTPC has ceased Developing Products and/or Commercializing the Product in all countries in the Territory.
15.2    Termination by Regeneron for Non-Payment. Regeneron may terminate this Agreement upon the failure of MTPC to pay any amount due hereunder, but solely in the event and after such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Regeneron has provided MTPC with written Notice of such failure (but no such termination shall occur if MTPC cures such failure prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period), and in any event subject to Section 15.7.
15.3    Termination by MTPC. MTPC shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon twelve (12) months’ prior written Notice to Regeneron. Each Party shall continue to meet its obligations under this Agreement during such twelve (12) month period. If, prior to any termination under this Section, Regeneron has entered into any non-cancellable and reasonable commitments, the Costs of which would be payable by MTPC had this Agreement continued beyond such termination, then MTPC shall pay Regeneron’s Costs associated with such commitments.
15.4    Termination by Regeneron for Change of Control. In the event of a Change of Control of MTPC, MTPC (or the applicable surviving entity) shall deliver to Regeneron written Notice of the closing of such transaction within five (5) days following such closing.

15.5    Termination by Either Party for Breach or Insolvency. Either Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Term upon the occurrence of any of the following:
15.5.1    Upon the material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or obligations by the other Party if the breaching Party has not cured such breach within ninety (90) days after written Notice thereof (describing such breach in reasonable detail) by the non-breaching Party; and

15.5.2    Immediately upon written Notice, if the other Party has filed a petition in bankruptcy, or if an involuntary petition in bankruptcy has been filed against the other Party and such petition will not be dismissed within sixty (60) days, or if a receiver or guardian has been appointed for the other Party, or upon or after the cessations of operations of the other Party.
15.6    Termination by Regeneron [***]. Regeneron shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety upon [***] prior written Notice to MTPC following the occurrence of either of the following:

15.7    Disputes Over Right to Terminate. With respect to efforts to terminate this Agreement for non-payment or breach under Sections 15.2 or 15.5, if the alleged breaching Party disputes in good faith the existence of a breach specified in a Notice provided by the other Party and/or the right to terminate this Agreement, then the non-breaching Party shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement hereunder unless and until such Dispute is resolved in accordance with ARTICLE XVI, and it has been determined that the alleged breaching Party has materially breached this Agreement and such Party fails to cure such breach within ninety (90) days following such decision (except to the extent such breach involves the failure to make a payment when due, which breach must be cured within fifteen (15) days following such determination), and it is understood and agreed that during the pendency of such Dispute, all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in effect and the Parties shall continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder; provided, however, under no circumstance shall either Party be required to continue to conduct any activities under this Agreement if in the reasonable judgment of such Party, doing so would constitute a violation of Applicable Law or would raise material safety concerns.
15.8    Effect of Expiration or Termination of this Agreement for MTPC’s Cause. Upon (i) the expiration of this Agreement or (ii) termination of this Agreement by Regeneron pursuant to Section 15.2, by MTPC pursuant to Section 15.3, by Regeneron pursuant to Section 15.4, or by Regeneron for breach or insolvency by MTPC pursuant to Section 15.5, the following provisions of this Section 15.8 will apply:

15.8.2    Neither Party will be relieved of any liability or obligation of such Party that accrued, or which arose during or relates to any period, prior to the effective date of such expiration or termination, including any payment obligations; and
15.8.3    MTPC will grant to Regeneron as of the effective date of the expiration of this Agreement an exclusive, fully paid, perpetual, irrevocable, fully sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license to use the MTPC Product Trademarks that were actually used during the Term in the Commercialization of Product in the Territory (and Regeneron shall thereupon be fully responsible for all costs and expenses of, and shall have the right to control, the prosecution, maintenance, defense and enforcement of such MTPC Product Trademarks). If MTPC desires after the effective date of the expiration of this Agreement, MTPC may assign and transfer the right to the MTPC Product Trademarks to Regeneron at Regeneron’s expense.
15.9    Effect of Certain Terminations of this Agreement for MTPC’s Cause. Upon the termination of this Agreement by Regeneron pursuant to Section 15.2, by MTPC pursuant to Section 15.3, by Regeneron pursuant to Section 15.4, or by Regeneron for breach or insolvency by MTPC pursuant to Section 15.5, the following provisions of this Section 15.9 will apply (in addition to the provisions of Section 15.8):
15.9.1    MTPC will, in the manner and within the timeframes requested by Regeneron, (i) cease conducting any Development and Commercialization activities with respect to Product and (ii) discontinue making any representation regarding its status as a Development and Commercialization collaborator with the ability to distribute the Product in the Field in the Territory, subject, in either such case, to requirements of Applicable Laws and to a reasonable wind-down and transition period (not to exceed ninety (90) days);
15.9.2    MTPC will promptly (but in any event subject to Applicable Laws):
(a)    transfer to Regeneron or Regeneron’s designee all Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Marketing Approvals, if such transfer is possible, or, if such transfer is not possible, then at Regeneron’s discretion (i) withdraw any such Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Marketing Approvals for the Products and take all actions necessary or useful to support Regeneron’s or Regeneron’s designee’s submission and procurement of substitute regulatory filings and the achievement of substitute regulatory approvals or (ii) provide Regeneron with access to, and grant Regeneron the right and license to use and to reference, such Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Marketing Approvals;
(b)    provide Regeneron with copies of (i) all material correspondence between MTPC and Regulatory Authorities with respect to Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Marketing Approvals for Products and (ii) all other clinical and non-clinical data, records and tabulations, in all such cases with respect to Products, that MTPC holds as of the date of termination with respect to Products;
(c)    assign to Regeneron all agreements specific to the conduct of clinical trials for Product (to the extent assignable and excluding any such agreements that also involve clinical trials for other MTPC products that are not Products), including agreements or

(d)    provide Regeneron with copies of all reports and data obtained by MTPC or its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement regarding the Development or Commercialization of Products, including any MTPC Clinical Data. MTPC hereby acknowledges and agrees that Regeneron will not be obligated to treat any information received pursuant to this Section 15.9.2(d) as MTPC Confidential Information and may use such information, data and Know-How for any purpose at Regeneron’s discretion.
As promptly as possible after any such termination, MTPC will execute any and all documents of any Regulatory Authorities, so as to allow Regeneron to make immediate use of any data, records, and Regulatory Filings, Regulatory Approvals and Marketing Approvals transferred by MTPC to Regeneron pursuant to this Section 15.9.2.
15.10    Effect of Certain Terminations of this Agreement for Regeneron’s Cause. Upon the termination of this Agreement by MTPC for breach or insolvency by Regeneron pursuant to Section 15.5, the following provisions of this Section 15.10 will apply:
15.10.1    Regeneron will return the originals and any copies of MTPC’s Confidential Information; provided, that, Regeneron may retain copies of any Confidential Information that is subject to continuing rights hereunder and one copy of MTPC’s Confidential Information for the purposes of legal archives and monitoring its obligations hereunder and exercising any surviving rights and complying with Applicable Laws;

ARTICLE XVII
OTHER PROVISIONS
17.1    Force Majeure. Both Parties will be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make monetary payments, and neither Party will be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides Notice thereof to the other Party. Such excuse will be continued so long as the condition constituting a force majeure event continues and the nonperforming Party uses reasonable efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a force majeure event will include conditions beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of a Party, such as an act of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, an act of terrorism, civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, inability to procure necessary raw materials in a commercially reasonable manner or default of suppliers or sub-contractors; provided, however, the payment of invoices due and owing hereunder may not be delayed by the payor because of a force majeure affecting the payor.
17.2    Exclusions of Consequential Damages. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF BREACH OF SUCH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE XI OR INDEMNIFICATION OF THIRD PARTY CLAIMS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE XIV, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAD PRIOR NOTICE THEREOF.
17.3    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any obligation of a Party hereunder may be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that subject to Section 15.4, either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without such consent, to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all, or substantially all, of its assets for the business to which this Agreement relates or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation, share exchange, or other similar transaction, and provided further that either Party may assign or sell its rights to receive any amounts due hereunder. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of MTPC and Regeneron and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement that is not made in accordance with this Section 17.3 shall be null and void and of no legal force or effect.
17.4    Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) frustrates the purpose of this Agreement (in which case the Parties will attempt to replace such invalidated provision with an

67

17.9    Waiver. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
17.10    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in identical duplicate copies exchanged by facsimile or e-mail (in PDF format) transmission. Each identical counterpart will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
