Teva

In November 2006, we entered into an exclusive collaboration agreement with Cephalon, Inc., aimed at identifying and developing clinical candidates that demonstrate activity towards the two designated target kinases of the collaboration: the BRAF kinase and a second kinase determined by a joint research committee.

In October 2011, Teva acquired Cephalon, Inc. Under the agreement, both parties contributed certain intellectual property to the collaboration and agreed to a period of exclusivity during which neither party would engage in any research related to a collaboration target compound with any third-party. Teva is solely responsible for worldwide clinical development and commercialization of collaboration compounds, subject to our option, exercisable during certain periods following completion of the first proof-of-concept study in humans and only with the consent of Teva, to co-develop and co-promote CEP-32496.

Cephalon, Inc. paid us an upfront fee of $15.5 million as partial consideration for access to our profiling technology and the licenses we contributed to the collaboration. We have received two milestone payments totaling $3.0 million under the agreement to date, and we may be entitled to receive up to $44.5 million in additional payments upon the achievement of development, regulatory and sales milestones for CEP-32496, and up to $47.5 million in payments upon the achievement of development, regulatory and sales milestones for the second compound under the agreement. In addition, we may receive tiered royalty payments. The collaboration portion of the agreement ended in November 2009, at which point we had completed all our research obligations under the agreement.
