1. BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
GTx, Inc. (GTx, the Company, or we), headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, is a
biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and commercialization of
therapeutics for cancer and serious conditions related to mens health. GTxs lead drug discovery
and development programs are focused on small molecules that selectively modulate the effects of
estrogens and androgens, two essential classes of hormones. GTx operates in one business segment.
GTx is developing ACAPODENE
® (toremifene citrate), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or
SERM, in two separate clinical programs in men: first, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the
treatment of serious side effects of androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT, for advanced prostate
cancer and second, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the prevention of prostate cancer in high
risk men with precancerous prostate lesions called high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia,
or high grade PIN. GTx has licensed to the Ipsen Group exclusive rights in Europe to develop and
commercialize ACAPODENE® for the prevention of prostate cancer in high risk men and for the
treatment of multiple side effects of androgen deprivation therapy. GTx also is developing
ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator, or SARM. Ostarine is currently being evaluated
in a Phase II clinical trial in 120 elderly men and postmenopausal women. We believe that ostarine
has the potential to treat a variety of indications, including muscle wasting and bone
loss in frail elderly patients, osteoporosis, muscle wasting in end stage renal disease patients,
and severe burn wounds and associated muscle wasting. GTx has licensed to Ortho Biotech Products,
L.P., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (Ortho Biotech), andarine, another of GTxs SARMs, under a
joint collaboration and license agreement.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of GTxs financial position, results of operations and cash flows for each period
presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted from the accompanying statements. These interim financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes thereto, which are
included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2006.

GTx, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual amounts and results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes net product sales revenue from the sale of FARESTON® less deductions
for estimated sales discounts and sales returns. Revenue from product sales is recognized when the
goods are shipped and title and risk of loss pass to the customer and the other criteria outlined
in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as
amended by SAB No. 104 (together, SAB No. 104) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 48 Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists are satisfied. The Company accounts for
rebates to certain governmental agencies as a reduction of revenue. The Company allows customers
to return product within a specified time period prior to and subsequent to the products labeled
expiration date. The Company estimates its accrual for product returns based on factors which
include historical product returns and estimated product in the distribution channel which is
expected to exceed its expiration date. At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the Companys
accrual for product returns was $162 and $274, respectively. If actual future results are
different than the Companys estimates, the Company may need to adjust its estimated accrual for
product returns, which could have a material effect on earnings in the period of the adjustment.
Collaboration revenue consists of non-refundable up-front payments and license fees associated
with the Companys collaboration and license agreements discussed in Note 4. The Company
recognized revenue in accordance with SAB No. 104. Accordingly, revenues from licensing agreements
are recognized based on the performance requirements of the agreement. Non-refundable up-front
fees, where the Company has an ongoing involvement or performance obligation, are recorded as
deferred revenue in the balance sheet and amortized as collaboration revenue in the condensed
statements of operations over the term of the performance obligation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions.
FIN 48 requires the recognition in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if
that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of
the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of January 1, 2007, with the cumulative
effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained
earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Companys
financial statements.

2. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment and began recognizing compensation expense for its
share-based payments based on the fair value of the awards. Share-based payments include stock
option grants under the Companys stock option plans. SFAS No. 123(R) requires share-based
compensation expense recognized since January 1, 2006 to be based on the following: a) grant date
fair value estimated using the minimum value method in accordance with the original provisions of
SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Share-based Compensation for unvested options granted prior to the
Companys initial public offering (IPO) in February 2004; b) grant date fair value estimated
using the intrinsic value method for unvested options granted prior to the Companys IPO and
previously accounted for using
Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees; c)
grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No.123 for
unvested options granted after the Companys IPO and prior to the adoption date and d) grant date fair value
estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) for unvested options granted on or
after the adoption date. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for share-based
compensation expense using the intrinsic value recognition method prescribed by APB No. 25 and SFAS
No.123. Since the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) under the modified prospective and the
prospective transition methods, results from prior periods have not been restated. On the date of
adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the unamortized balance of deferred stock compensation of $1,725 was
reduced to zero with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per share if the Company
had not adopted SFAS No. 123(R) and applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.123
and the intrinsic value recognition provisions of APB No. 25 to options granted under the Companys
stock option plans in all periods presented. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the fair
value of the options granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, the
minimum value method and the intrinsic value method.

Under SFAS No. 123(R) forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce
expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent
to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate. Under
SFAS No.123 and APB No. 25, the Company elected to account for forfeitures when awards were
actually forfeited, at which time all previous pro forma expense was reversed to reduce pro forma
expense for that period.
Total share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $362,
of which $131 and $231 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and
development expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Total share-based
compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1,053, of which $408 and
$645 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and development expenses
and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R),
the Company accounted for share-based compensation expense under APB No. 25. Total share-based
compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $165, of which $113 and $52
were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and development expenses and
general and administrative expenses, respectively. Total share-based compensation expense for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $573, of which $353 and $220 were recorded in the
condensed statements of operations as research and development expenses and general and
administrative expenses, respectively. Included in share-based compensation expense for all
periods presented is share-based compensation expense related to deferred compensation arrangements
for the Companys directors which was $35 and $31 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, respectively, and $105 and $95 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
respectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) has resulted in increased share-based compensation
expense and net loss of $168 and $471 and increased net loss per share of $0.01 and $0.02 for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively. The current year increase in
stock-based compensation expense is the result of recognizing stock-based compensation expense in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) as compared to recognizing stock-based
compensation expense in accordance with the provision of APB No. 25.

SFAS No. 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized
compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as
required prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). The impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) on future
results will depend on, among other things, levels of share-based options granted in the future,
actual forfeiture rates and the timing of option exercises.
The Company grants options to purchase common stock to certain employees and directors under
various plans at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options are
granted. The options have a term of 10 years from the grant date and vest three years from the
grant date for director options and in periods up to five years from the grant date for employee
options. Employees have 90 days after the employment relationship ends to exercise all vested
options except in the case of retirement, permanent disability or death, where exercise periods are
generally longer. The fair value of each option grant is separately estimated for each vesting
date. The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis
between the grant date for the award and each vesting date. The Company estimates the fair value of
certain stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes-Merton option
pricing valuation model. The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are
judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. The weighted average
for key assumptions used in determining the fair value of options granted in the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and a summary of the methodology applied to develop each
assumption are as follows:

Expected Price Volatility This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or
is expected to fluctuate. We use an average expected price volatility of other publicly traded
biopharmaceutical companies as it is managements belief that this is the best indicator of future
volatility due to the limited period of time the Companys stock has been publicly traded. An
increase in the expected price volatility will increase compensation expense.
Risk-Free Interest Rate This is the U.S. Treasury rate for the week of the grant having a
term approximating the expected life of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will
increase compensation expense.
Expected Life This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to
remain outstanding and is based on managements estimate, taking into consideration vesting term,
contractual term and historical actual life. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. An
increase in the expected life will increase compensation expense.

Dividend Yield The Company has not made any dividend payments nor does it have plans to pay
dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation
expense.
Forfeiture Rate This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be
forfeited or canceled before becoming fully vested. This estimate is based on historical
experience. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense.

At September 30, 2006, the average remaining contractual term of all outstanding options was
7.31 years, with an aggregate intrinsic value of $2,531, with 473,108 of the outstanding options
being exercisable with an average exercise price of $7.18, an average remaining contractual term of
6.08 years and an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,257. Shares reserved for future option grants
were 1,554,672 at September 30, 2006. For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the
weighted average grant date fair values of options granted was $6.30 and $6.89, respectively. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the weighted average grant date fair values of
options granted was $5.60 and $6.42, respectively. There were 11,750 options exercised during the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 and no options were exercised during the three months ended
September 30, 2006. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 was $46. There were no options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The Company issues new
shares of common stock upon the exercise of options. At September 30, 2006, the total compensation
cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized was $2,962 with a weighted average expense
recognition period of 1.97 years.
Under the Companys Amended and Restated 2004 Non-Employee Directors Stock Option Plan, on
the day immediately following each annual meeting of the Companys stockholders, each non-employee
director receives an option to purchase shares of common stock. The number of shares of common
stock subject to these annual grants is currently set at 8,000, and such number of shares may be
increased or decreased by the Board of Directors. If an individual has not been serving as a non-employee
director for the entire period since the preceding annual meeting of the Companys stockholders,
the number of shares subject to such individuals annual grant will be reduced pro rata for each
full month prior to the date of grant during which such individual did not serve as a non-employee
director. In addition, each new director receives an option to purchase shares of common stock
upon his or her election to the Board of Directors. The number of shares of common stock subject
to these new director grants is currently set at

10,000, and such number of shares may be increased or decreased by the Board of Directors. These
stock option grants are made at the fair market value as of the grant date. At September 30, 2006,
there were options outstanding to purchase 125,334 shares of common stock under this plan with
142,666 shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under this plan.
3. BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company computed net loss per share attributable to common stockholders according to SFAS
No. 128, Earnings per Share, which requires disclosure of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per
share.
Basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is calculated based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share
attributable to common stockholders gives effect to the dilutive potential of common stock
consisting of stock options.

4. COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS
In September 2006, the Company entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen
pursuant to which the Company granted Ipsen exclusive rights to develop and commercialize
ACAPODENE® and other products containing toremifene in all indications which the Company has
licensed from Orion Corporation, (Orion), which include indications for all diseases or
indications in humans except the treatment and prevention of breast cancer in the European Union,
Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and the Commonwealth of Independent States
(collectively, the European Territory). In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Ipsen has
agreed to pay the Company
13
GTx, Inc.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except share and per share data)
(unaudited)
23,000 as a license fee and expense reimbursement, of which 1,500 will be paid in equal
installments over a three year period. In October 2006, the Company received 21,500
(approximately $27,100) from Ipsen as the initial payment for the license fee and expense
reimbursement. Pursuant to the agreement, GTx is also entitled to receive from Ipsen up to an
aggregate of 39,000 in milestone payments depending on the successful development and launch of
ACAPODENE® in certain countries of the European Territory for the high grade PIN indication,
subject to certain conditions, and the ADT indication. Ipsen has agreed to be responsible for and
to pay all clinical development, regulatory and launch activities to commercialize ACAPODENE® in
the European Territory for both the high grade PIN indication and ADT indication. Ipsen has agreed
to pay the Company a royalty equal to a graduating percentage of aggregate net sales of products
containing toremifene (including ACAPODENE®) which rates will be dependent on whether such sales
are for the high grade PIN indication or the ADT indication. GTx will remain responsible for
paying upstream royalties on ACAPODENE® to both Orion and the University of Tennessee Research
Foundation for the PIN indication and to Orion only for the ADT indication. Ipsen will purchase
the bulk drug product supply directly from Orion and is responsible for the packaging and labeling
of the final product.
The Company recorded deferred revenue of $29,259 related to the Ipsen upfront license fee and
expense reimbursement which is expected to be amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over
the estimated development period for ACAPODENE® in the European Territory (see Note 1). The
Company recognized as collaboration revenue $390 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from
the amortization of the Ipsen deferred revenue. Collaboration revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 also included $334 from the amortization of the upfront license fee received
from Ortho Biotech under a joint collaboration and license agreement for andarine.

Overview
We are a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the discovery, development and
commercialization of therapeutics for cancer and serious conditions related to mens health. Our
lead drug discovery and development programs are focused on small molecules that selectively
modulate the effects of estrogens and androgens, two essential classes of hormones. We are
developing ACAPODENE® (toremifene citrate), a selective estrogen receptor modulator, or SERM, in
two separate clinical programs in men: first, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the treatment
of serious side effects of androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT, for advanced prostate cancer, and
second, a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the prevention of prostate cancer in high risk men
with precancerous prostate lesions called high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia, or high
grade PIN. We have licensed to the Ipsen Group exclusive rights in Europe to develop and
commercialize ACAPODENE® for the prevention of prostate cancer in high risk men and for the
treatment of multiple side effects of androgen deprivation therapy. We are also developing
ostarine, a selective androgen receptor modulator, or SARM. We believe that ostarine has the
potential to treat a variety of indications, including muscle wasting and bone loss in frail
elderly patients, osteoporosis, muscle wasting in end stage renal disease patients, and severe burn
wounds and associated muscle wasting. We initiated a proof of concept Phase II clinical trial of
ostarine in May 2006 and completed enrollment in July 2006. We expect to report the data from the
Phase II clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2006. We have licensed to Ortho Biotech Products,
L.P., a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (Ortho Biotech), andarine, another one of our SARMs, under
a joint collaboration and license agreement.
We plan to build specialized sales and marketing capabilities to promote our product
candidates to urologists and medical oncologists in the United States and to seek partners to
commercialize our product candidates to broader markets in the United States and in the rest of the
world.
We currently market FARESTON® (toremifene citrate 60 mg) tablets, which have been approved by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer in
post-menopausal women in the United States. In January 2005, we acquired from Orion Corporation,
(Orion), the right to market FARESTON® tablets in the United States for the metastatic breast
cancer indication. We also acquired a license to toremifene for all indications in humans
worldwide, except breast cancer outside of the United States. The active pharmaceutical ingredient
in FARESTON® is the same as in ACAPODENE®, but at a different dose. Acquiring the FARESTON®
license allows us to control all toremifene based products in the United States and enhances the
strategic value of our ACAPODENE® assets. Sales of pharmaceuticals for breast cancer in the SERM
class have declined in recent years as aromatase inhibitors have gained market share. We believe
that aromatase inhibitors will continue to capture breast cancer market share from SERMs, including
from FARESTON®, resulting in a continued decline in FARESTON® sales.
In addition, we have an extensive preclinical pipeline generated from our own discovery
program that includes the specific product candidates prostarine, a SARM for benign prostatic
hyperplasia, and andromustine, an anticancer product candidate, for hormone refractory prostate
cancer.
Our most advanced product candidate, ACAPODENE®, is being developed to treat both the multiple
side effects of ADT and to prevent prostate cancer in high risk men with high grade PIN. ADT is the
standard medical treatment for patients who have advanced, recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer,
and we believe that there will be approximately one million prostate cancer survivors treated with
ADT in 2008. We commenced a pivotal Phase III clinical trial of ACAPODENE® under a Special
Protocol Assessment, or SPA, with the FDA for this indication in November 2003. We reached our
enrollment goal in the fall of 2005 with approximately 1,400 patients randomized for the trial. In
December 2005,
16
GTx conducted a planned interim analysis of bone mineral density (BMD) in the first 197
patients to complete a full year of treatment. In each of three measurements (lumbar spine, hip
and femoral neck), statistically significant positive changes in BMD were observed in patients on
ACAPODENE®, when compared to patients on placebo, who on average lost bone. In June 2006, GTx
conducted a lipid interim analysis of the same 197 patients. Patients treated with ACAPODENE® had
statistically significant lower levels of total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides, reduction in
the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL, and higher levels of HDL, when compared to patients on
placebo. However, data on all patients completing the study will need to be evaluated before any
conclusions about clinical significance of the lipid findings can be drawn. We anticipate that we
will complete this Phase III clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2007. If the results are
favorable, we expect to file a New Drug Application, or NDA, with the FDA in the first half of
2008. We are conducting a voluntary one-year blinded Phase IIIb extension trial for patients from
the Phase III study to gather additional fracture and safety data. This Phase IIIb clinical study
is a separate clinical trial and will not affect the current timeline for the completion of the
ongoing Phase III clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2007 and the potential submission of the
NDA with the FDA.
In the first quarter of 2005, we initiated a pivotal Phase III clinical trial of ACAPODENE®
for the prevention of prostate cancer in men with high grade PIN, which is being
conducted under a SPA with the FDA. We reached our enrollment goal of 1,260 patients in May 2006
and expect to enroll approximately 300 additional patients by the end of 2006 into the study who
will also participate in sub-studies requested by the FDA. The trial is designed as a 36 month
study, but provides for an interim analysis after a sufficient number of events have occurred to
determine if the efficacy of the study drug has been statistically attained. We believe that an
interim analysis of the trial results will occur either in the fourth quarter of 2007 or the first
quarter of 2008. If the efficacy endpoint is achieved, we plan to file an NDA with the FDA during
2008. If we are able to file an NDA based on the results of the interim analysis, we will need to
continue to collect safety data during the review process to satisfy the FDAs safety requirements
set forth in the SPA.
In September 2006, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen Limited
(Ipsen), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Ipsen Group, pursuant to which we granted Ipsen
exclusive rights to develop and commercialize ACAPODENE® and other products containing toremifene
in all indications which the company has licensed from Orion, which include indications for all
diseases or indications in humans except the treatment and prevention of breast cancer in the
European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein, and the Commonwealth of Independent
States (collectively, the European Territory). In the agreement, both parties have agreed that
neither party will seek to commercialize, promote, market or sell certain products within the
European Territory for an agreed period of time subsequent to the time of the first commercial
launch of ACAPODENE® within the European Territory. We and Ipsen have also granted to each other a
right of first negotiation with respect to the development, marketing, sale and distribution of any
new SERM-based products for the field of the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer or related
side effects, or any other indication the parties may agree on. In accordance with the terms of
the agreement, Ipsen agreed to pay us 23 million as a license fee and expense reimbursement, of
which 1.5 million will be deferred and paid in equal installments over a three year period. In
October 2006, we received 21.5 million (approximately $27.1 million) from Ipsen as initial payment
for the license fee and expense reimbursement. Pursuant to the agreement, we are also entitled to
receive from Ipsen up to an aggregate of 39 million in milestone payments depending on the
successful development and launch of ACAPODENE® in certain countries of the European Territory for
the high grade PIN indication, subject to certain conditions, and the ADT indication. Ipsen has
agreed to be responsible for and to pay for all clinical development, regulatory and launch
activities to commercialize ACAPODENE® in the European Territory for both the high grade PIN
indication and ADT indication. We will remain similarly responsible for all development and
regulatory activities outside of the European Territory. However, Ipsen has agreed to pay a
portion of our ACAPODENE®
17
development costs in the United States if certain conditions are met. Under the agreement,
Ipsen must elect to retain its rights to commercialize ACAPODENE® and other products containing
toremifene for the high grade PIN indication. Until such time as Ipsen shall make its election,
however, it is required to initiate and carry out the development of ACAPODENE® for the high grade
PIN indication in the European Territory and to pay all costs associated therewith. Depending on
when Ipsen exercises this election, Ipsen may be required to pay an additional license fee as well
as a premium on its share of the development and clinical trial expenses incurred by us in the
United States since January 1, 2006, on account of ACAPODENE® for high grade PIN. If Ipsen does
not exercise its election within a certain period, Ipsen will not be obligated to pay us for a
portion of the development and clinical trial expenses incurred by us in the United States since
January 1, 2006, on account of ACAPODENE® for the high grade PIN indication, and we may elect to
terminate Ipsens rights to commercialize toremifene-based products for this indication, in which
event all of Ipsens rights to ACAPODENE® for the high grade PIN indication (including all
associated clinical trial data and regulatory filings and approvals) will revert to us. Ipsen has
agreed to pay us a royalty equal to a graduating percentage of aggregate net sales of products
containing toremifene (including ACAPODENE®) in the mid-teens, which could reach the mid-twenties
based on certain sales price thresholds being met, and which rates will be dependent on whether
such sales are for the high grade PIN indication or the ADT indication. We will remain responsible
for paying upstream royalties on ACAPODENE® to both Orion and the University of Tennessee Research
Foundation for the PIN indication and to Orion only for the ADT indication. Ipsen will purchase
the bulk drug product supply directly from Orion and is responsible for the packaging and labeling
of the final product.
In our third clinical program, ostarine, a SARM, is being developed to treat a variety of
medical conditions relating to muscle wasting and/or bone loss in acute and chronic diseases.
Ostarine is a novel non-steroidal agent designed to have anabolic activity like testosterone
without unwanted side effects on the prostate and skin and in a once daily oral dose. We initiated
a proof of concept Phase II clinical trial of ostarine in May 2006 and completed enrollment in July
2006. The three month placebo controlled clinical trial is evaluating multiple doses of ostarine
in 60 elderly men and 60 postmenopausal women. The trial is designed to evaluate the activity of
ostarine on building muscle and promoting bone as well as to assess safety in both elderly men and
postmenopausal women. Endpoints of the trial include measurements of bone, fat, and muscle. We
expect to report the data from the Phase II clinical trial in the fourth quarter of 2006. Based on
ostarines Phase II clinical data profile, we will select specific acute and chronic muscle wasting
and/or bone loss diseases for further development. We plan to initiate a Phase IIb or Phase III
clinical trial of ostarine in 2007.
In March 2004, we entered into a joint collaboration and license agreement with Ortho Biotech
for andarine and specific backup compounds. We retain the right to independently develop all SARM
compounds which are excluded from the collaboration, including ostarine. Under the terms of the
agreement, we received an up-front licensing fee and reimbursement of certain andarine development
expenses totaling approximately $6.7 million, which are being amortized into revenue over five
years. We are entitled to receive additional licensing fees, milestone payments and royalty
payments on any sales of licensed products. Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research &
Development, an affiliate of Ortho Biotech, is responsible for further clinical development and
related expenses for andarine and other licensed SARM compounds. Ortho Biotech may terminate the
development or commercialization of andarine or any other licensed SARM compound under the
agreement upon 90 days notice, or 30 days notice if there are safety issues, or may terminate the
agreement for our uncured material breach.
Our net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $30.8 million. Our net
loss included FARESTON® net product sales of $1.5 million and the recognition of collaboration
revenue of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. We have financed our
operations and internal growth almost exclusively through private placements of preferred stock and
our public offerings
18
of common stock. We expect to continue to incur net losses over the next several years as we
continue our clinical development and research and development activities, apply for regulatory
approvals of our product candidates, establish sales and marketing capabilities and grow our
operations. With the receipt in October 2006 of the initial payment of the upfront license fee and
expense reimbursement from our collaboration with Ipsen, we believe that our current cash
resources, interest on these funds and product revenue from the sale of FARESTON will be sufficient
to meet our projected operating requirements through the first quarter of 2008.
Since our inception in 1997, we have been focused on drug discovery and development programs.
Research and development expenses represented 75.7% of our total operating expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. Research and development expenses include our expenses for
personnel associated with our research activities, screening and identification of product
candidates, formulation and synthesis activities, manufacturing, preclinical studies, toxicology
studies, clinical trials, regulatory affairs, and quality assurance activities.
We expect that research and development expenditures will continue to increase during the
remainder of the year and in subsequent years due to (1) the continuation of the pivotal Phase III
clinical trial of ACAPODENE® for the treatment of serious side effects of ADT for advance prostate
cancer and the one-year Phase IIIb extension trial, (2) the continuation of the pivotal Phase III
clinical trial of ACAPODENE® for the prevention of prostate cancer in men with high grade PIN, (3)
the continued clinical and preclinical development of ostarine, (4) the continued development of
other product candidates in our SARM program that are not included in our collaboration with Ortho
Biotech, including prostarine, (5) the continued preclinical development of other product
candidates, including andromustine, and (6) the increase in research and development personnel.

Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other related costs
for personnel serving executive, finance, legal, human resources, information technology, public
relations and marketing functions. Other costs include facility costs not otherwise included in
research and development expense and professional fees for legal, accounting, public relations, and
marketing services. General and administrative expenses also include insurance costs and FARESTON®
selling and distribution expenses. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will
increase in future periods as we add personnel and infrastructure to support the planned growth of
our business. In addition, we plan to expand our sales and marketing efforts which will result in
increased sales and marketing expenses in future years.
Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
is based on our condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported revenues and expenses
during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments related
to revenue recognition, income taxes, intangible assets, long-term service contracts and other
contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that we
believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not
20
readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
While our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to our financial
statements appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed
with the SEC, we believe that the following accounting policies are most critical to aid you in
fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenues consist of product sales of FARESTON® and revenues derived from our collaboration
and license agreements.
We use revenue recognition criteria outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101,
Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements as amended by SAB No. 104 (together, SAB 104) and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 48 Revenue Recognition When Right of
Return Exists (FAS No. 48) and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 00-21, Revenue
Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21). Accordingly, revenues from licensing and
collaboration agreements are recognized based on the performance requirements of the agreement.
Non-refundable up-front fees, where we have an ongoing involvement or performance obligation, are
generally recorded as deferred revenue in the balance sheet and amortized as collaboration revenue
in the condensed statements of operations over the term of the performance obligation. We
estimated the performance obligation period to be five years for the development of andarine with
Ortho Biotech and also for the development of ACAPODENE® for both the high grade PIN and ADT
indications in the European Territory with Ipsen. The factors that drive the actual development
period of a pharmaceutical product are inherently uncertain and include determining the timing and
expected costs to complete the project, projecting regulatory approvals and anticipating potential
delays. We use all of these factors in initially estimating the economic useful lives of our
performance obligations, and we also continuously monitor these factors for indications of
appropriate revisions.
We recognize net product sales revenue from the sale of FARESTON® less deductions for
estimated sales discounts and sales returns. We recognize revenue from product sales when the
goods are shipped and title and risk of loss pass to the customer and the other criteria of SAB No.
104 and SFAS No. 48 are satisfied. We account for rebates to certain governmental agencies as a
reduction of revenue. We allow customers to return product within a specified time period prior to
and subsequent to the products labeled expiration date. As a result, we estimate an accrual for
product returns based on factors which include historical product returns and estimated product in
the distribution channel which is expected to exceed its expiration date. We retained
substantially the same wholesale customers of, and the distribution channel that was used by
another pharmaceutical company that distributed FARESTON® for six years prior to our obtaining the
rights to market FARESTON® in January 2005. We also obtained historical product return trend
information that we continue to update with our own product return data. We estimate the amount of
product in the distribution channel which is expected to exceed its expiration date and be returned
by the customer by receiving information from our three largest wholesale customers about the
levels of FARESTON® inventory held by these customers. These three largest wholesale customers
accounted for 94% of the total sales of FARESTON® for the nine month period ended September 30,
2006. Based on this information, which we have not independently verified, we estimate the number
of months of product on hand. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we reduced our
estimated accrual for product returns by $126,000 which resulted in an increase to net product
sales of $126,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006 and
December 31, 2005, our accrual for product returns was $162,000 and $274,000, respectively. If
actual future results
21
are different than our estimates, we may need to adjust our estimated accrual for product
returns, which could have a material effect on earnings in the period of the adjustment.
Research and Development Costs
We expense research and development costs in the period in which they are incurred. These
costs consist of direct and indirect costs associated with specific projects as well as fees paid
to various entities that perform research and clinical trial studies on our behalf.
Patent Costs
We expense patent costs, including legal expenses, in the period in which they are incurred.
Patent expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in our condensed statements of
operations.
Share-based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) Share-Based Payment and began
recognizing compensation expense for our share-based payments based on the fair value of the
awards. Share-based payments include stock option grants under our stock option plans. Prior to
January 1, 2006, we accounted for share-based compensation expense using the intrinsic value
recognition method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 25 and SFAS No.
123. Since we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) under the modified prospective and the prospective
transition methods, results from prior periods have not been restated. Under SFAS No. 123(R),
forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting
period. This estimate is adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual forfeitures
differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate.
Total share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was
$362,000, of which $131,000 and $231,000 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as
research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Total
share-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $1.1 million, of
which $408,000 and $645,000 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and
development expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Prior to the adoption
of SFAS No. 123(R), we accounted for share-based compensation expense under APB No. 25. Total
share-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 was $165,000 of
which $113,000 and $52,000 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and
development expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Total share-based
compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $573,000 of which $353,000
and $220,000 were recorded in the condensed statements of operations as research and development
expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively. Included in share-based
compensation expense for all periods presented is share-based compensation expense related to
deferred compensation arrangements for our directors, which was $35,000 and $31,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $105,000 and $95,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. On the date of adoption of SFAS No.
123(R), the unamortized balance of deferred stock compensation of $1.7 million was reduced to zero
with an offsetting adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48), which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in tax positions.
22
FIN 48 requires the recognition in the financial statements, the impact of a tax
position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the
technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of January 1, 2007,
with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to
opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on
the Companys financial statements.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $1.1 million as compared to
$622,000 for the same period of 2005. Revenues include net sales of FARESTON® marketed for the
treatment of metastatic breast cancer and collaboration income from Ortho Biotech for andarine and
Ipsen for ACAPODENE®. During the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, FARESTON® net
sales were $348,000 and $288,000, respectively, while costs of products sales were
$118,000 and $185,000, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2006, we reduced
our estimated accrual for product returns by $126,000 which resulted in an increase in net product
sales of $126,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. During the three months ended
September 30, 2006, the sales price of FARESTON® increased by 9.7% while sales revenue increased by
21%, after the reduction in the accrual for product returns, and sales volume decreased by 26% as
compared to the same period in 2005. Collaboration income was $724,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 2006, of which $390,000 and $334,000 was from Ipsen and Ortho Biotech, respectively.
Ipsen collaboration income was recognized for the period from September 7, 2006 to September 30,
2006. Collaboration income from Ortho Biotech was $334,000 for the three months ended September
30, 2005.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses increased by $1.1 million to $9.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 from $8.5 million for the same period of 2005. The following table
identifies the research and development expenses for each of our product candidates, as well as
research and development expenses pertaining to our other research and development efforts for each
of the periods presented. Research and development spending for past periods is not indicative of
spending in future periods.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased during the three months ended September 30, 2006
to $2.9 million from $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was
primarily the result of increased personnel related expenses resulting from additional personnel
and increased share-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.123(R)
effective January 1, 2006.
Interest Income
Interest income increased to $638,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006 from
$345,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The increase was attributable to higher
average interest rates in addition to higher average cash and cash equivalents balances during the
three months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same period in 2005.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2006
to $8.5 million from $7.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of
approximately $1.1 million was primarily the result of increased personnel related expenses
resulting from additional personnel to support our planned growth which accounted for approximately
$.6 million of the increase. The remainder of the increase was due primarily to an increase in
share-based compensation expense as a result of the adoption of SFAS No.123(R) effective January 1,
2006.
Interest Income
Interest income increased to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 from
$1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The increase of approximately $1.1
million was attributable to higher average interest rates in addition to higher average cash and
cash equivalents balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the same
period in 2005.
26
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $44.6 million, compared to $74.0
million at December 31, 2005. Net cash used in operating activities was $29.0 million and $25.6
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The use of cash in
both periods resulted primarily from funding our net losses. Net cash used in investing activities
was $516,000 and $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Net cash used in investing activities for both periods was primarily for the purchase of research
and development equipment, software, computer equipment, and furniture and fixtures. We currently
expect to make capital expenditures of approximately $500,000 for the remainder of 2006.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $62,000 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2006 and included proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options of $66,000,
offset by principal payments under a capital lease obligation of $4,000. Net cash provided by
financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $5,000 and included proceeds
from the exercise of employee stock options of $9,000, offset by principal payments under a capital
lease obligation of $4,000.
With the receipt in October 2006 of the initial license fee and expense reimbursement payment
from our collaboration with Ipsen of approximately $27.1 million, we estimate that our current cash
resources, interest on these funds, and product revenue from the sale of FARESTON® will be
sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements through the first quarter of 2008. This
estimate does not include additional funding that we may receive under our existing collaborations
with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen, potential future collaboration agreements with other companies, or
the potential future issuance and sale of our securities.
Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to
support our projected operating requirements is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and
uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the
factors discussed in the section entitled Risk Factors under Part II, Item 1A below. We have
based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we could utilize our available
capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties
associated with the development of our product candidates and other research and development
activities, including risks and uncertainties that could impact the rate of progress of our
development activities, we are unable to estimate with certainty the amounts of increased capital
outlays and operating expenditures associated with our current and anticipated clinical trials and
other research and development activities. Our future funding requirements will depend on many
factors, including:
|
|
|
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and
development activities; |
|
|
|
|
future clinical trial results; |
|
|
|
|
the achievement of certain milestone events under, and other matters related to, our
collaboration and license agreements with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen; |
|
|
|
|
the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that
we may establish; |
|
|
|
|
the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; |
27
|
|
|
potential future licensing fees, milestone payments and royalty payments, including any
milestone or royalty payments that we may receive under our collaboration and license
agreements with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen; |
|
|
|
|
the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
|
|
|
|
the cost of establishing clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates and
any products that we may develop; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of competing technological and market developments; |
|
|
|
|
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other
intellectual property rights; and |
|
|
|
|
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies,
although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of
transactions. |
Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue, we expect to finance future cash
needs through additional funding that we may receive under our collaborations with Ortho Biotech
and Ipsen, public or private equity offerings, debt financing or other collaboration and licensing
arrangements, as well as through interest income earned on cash balances. With the exception of
payments that we may receive under our collaborations with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen, we do not
currently have any commitments for future external funding. We cannot be certain that additional
funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional
funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution, and debt financing,
if available, may involve restrictive covenants. To the extent that we raise additional funds
through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to relinquish some rights to
our technologies or product candidates, or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay,
reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research or development programs or to obtain
funds through collaborations with others that are on unfavorable terms or that may require us to
relinquish rights to some of our technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to
develop on our own.

ITEM 3. |
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK |
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our cash equivalents on
deposit in highly liquid money market funds. The primary objective of our cash investment
activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from
our invested cash without significantly increasing risk of loss. We do not use derivative
financial instruments in our investment portfolio. The effect of a hypothetical decrease of one
percentage point in the average interest rate earned on our cash equivalents would have resulted in
a decrease in our interest income of approximately $599,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2006.
We operate primarily in the United States. However, some of our clinical trial sites are
located in Argentina, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Mexico and the United Kingdom which requires us to
make payments for certain clinical trial services in foreign currencies. In accordance with the
terms of a collaboration and license agreement, Ipsen Limited is required to pay us 23.0 million
as a license fee and expense reimbursement. We are also entitled to receive from Ipsen up to 39.0
million in milestone payments depending on the successful development and launch of ACAPODENE® in
certain countries of the European Territory. Ipsens obligation to make payments to us in Euros
exposes us to potential foreign currency transaction losses. Our exposure to foreign currency rate
fluctuations will increase because we are obligated to pay Orion Corporation, our supplier of
ACAPODENE® and FARESTON®, in Euros. However, such exposure is not expected to be material. We do
not currently use derivative financial instruments to mitigate this exposure.
|
|
|
ITEM 4. |
|
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 that are designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules
and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness
of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this
report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third
quarter of 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control over financial reporting.
29
We have identified the following additional risks and uncertainties that may have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. Investors should
carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business
faces significant risks and the risks described below may not be the only risks we face. Additional
risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly
impair our business operations. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations
or financial condition could suffer, the market price of our common stock could decline and you
could lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.
Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Need for Additional Financing
We have incurred losses since inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the
foreseeable future.
We have a limited operating history. As of September 30, 2006, we had an accumulated deficit
of $225.1 million, of which $96.3 million related to non-cash dividends and adjustments to the
preferred stock redemption value. We have incurred losses in each year since our inception in 1997.
Net losses were $30.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, $36.8 million in 2005,
$22.3 million in 2004, and $14.2 million in 2003. We expect to continue to incur significant and
increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. These losses have had and will continue to
have an adverse effect on our stockholders equity and working capital.
Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing small molecule
drugs, we are unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when we will become profitable,
if at all. We have financed our operations and internal growth almost exclusively through sales of
common stock and preferred stock. In addition, we have received upfront license fees and payments
pursuant to our collaboration agreements with Ortho Biotech for andarine and certain other SARMs,
and Ipsen Limited for European rights to ACAPODENE® and other toremifene-based products. FARESTON®
is currently our only commercial product and, we expect, will account for all of our product
revenue for the foreseeable future. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we recognized
$1.5 million in net revenues from the sale of FARESTON®.
We expect our research and development expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing
clinical trials. In addition, subject to regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, we
expect to incur additional sales and marketing expenses and increased manufacturing expenses.
We will need substantial additional funding and may be unable to raise capital when needed, which
would force us to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development programs or commercialization
efforts.
We will need to raise additional capital to:
|
|
|
fund our operations and clinical trials; |
|
|
|
|
continue our research and development; and |
|
|
|
|
commercialize our product candidates, if any such product candidates receive regulatory
approval for commercial sale. |
30
With the receipt in October 2006 of the initial payment of the upfront license fee and expense
reimbursement from our collaboration with Ipsen, we estimate that our current cash resources,
interest on these funds and product revenue from the sale of FARESTON® will be sufficient to meet
our projected operating requirements through the first quarter of 2008. This estimate does not
include additional funding that we may receive under our existing collaboration agreements with
Ortho Biotech and Ipsen, potential future collaboration agreements with other companies, or the
potential future issuance and sale of our securities.
Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:
|
|
|
the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and
development activities; |
|
|
|
|
future clinical trial results; |
|
|
|
|
the achievement of certain milestone events under, and other matters related to, our
collaboration and license agreements with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen; |
|
|
|
|
the terms and timing of any future collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that
we may establish; |
|
|
|
|
the cost and timing of regulatory approvals; |
|
|
|
|
potential future licensing fees, milestone payments and royalty payments, including any
milestone payments or royalty payments that we may receive under our collaboration and
license agreements with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen; |
|
|
|
|
the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities; |
|
|
|
|
the cost of establishing clinical and commercial supplies of our product candidates and
any products that we may develop; |
|
|
|
|
the effect of competing technological and market developments; |
|
|
|
|
the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other
intellectual property rights; and |
|
|
|
|
the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies,
although we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of
transactions. |
Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue, we expect to finance future cash
needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or collaboration and licensing
arrangements, as well as through interest income earned on the investment of our cash balances.
If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders will experience
dilution. Debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Any debt financing or
additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us or our stockholders.
If we raise additional funds through collaboration and/or licensing arrangements with third
parties, it will be necessary to relinquish some rights to our technologies or our product
candidates, or we may be required to grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us.
31
Risks Related to Development of Product Candidates
We will not be able to commercialize our product candidates if our preclinical studies do not
produce successful results or our clinical trials do not demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans.
Preclinical and clinical testing is expensive, can take many years and has an uncertain
outcome. Success in preclinical testing and early clinical trials does not ensure that later
clinical trials will be successful, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily
predict final results. Typically, the failure rate for development candidates is high. Significant
delays in clinical testing could materially impact our product development costs. We do not know
whether planned clinical trials will begin on time, will need to be restructured or will be
completed on schedule, if at all. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a
result of, preclinical testing and the clinical trial process that could delay or prevent our
ability to commercialize our product candidates, including:
|
|
|
regulators or institutional review boards may not authorize us to commence a clinical
trial or conduct a clinical trial at a prospective trial site; |
|
|
|
|
our preclinical or clinical trials may produce negative or inconclusive results, which
may require us to conduct additional preclinical or clinical testing or to abandon projects
that we expect to be promising; |
|
|
|
|
registration or enrollment in our clinical trials may be slower than we currently
anticipate, resulting in significant delays; |
|
|
|
|
we might have to suspend or terminate our clinical trials if the participating patients
are being exposed to unacceptable health risks; |
|
|
|
|
regulators or institutional review boards may suspend or terminate clinical research for
various reasons, including noncompliance with regulatory requirements; and |
|
|
|
|
our product candidates may not have the desired effects or may include undesirable side
effects. |
If any of these events were to occur and, as a result, we have significant delays in or
termination of clinical trials, our costs could increase and our ability to generate revenue could
be impaired, which would adversely impact our financial results.
Risks Related to Our Dependence on Third Parties
If third parties do not manufacture our product candidates in sufficient quantities and at an
acceptable cost, clinical development and commercialization of our product candidates would be
delayed.
We do not currently own or operate manufacturing facilities, and we rely, and expect to
continue to rely, on third parties for the production of clinical and commercial quantities of our
product candidates. Our current and anticipated future dependence upon others for the manufacture
of our product candidates may adversely affect our future profit margins and our ability to develop
product candidates and commercialize any product candidates on a timely and competitive basis.
We have agreed to purchase from Orion our worldwide requirements of toremifene, the active
pharmaceutical ingredient in ACAPODENE®, in finished tablet form at specified transfer prices under
a license and supply agreement. Similarly, Ipsen has agreed to purchase from Orion ACAPODENE®
tablets for clinical testing and commercial sale within the European Territory (as defined in our
collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen) under an amended supply agreement with Orion. As
such, both we and Ipsen rely on Orion as the single source supplier of ACAPODENE®.
32
In the event that Orion terminates our license and supply agreement due to our uncured
material breach or bankruptcy, we would not be able to manufacture ACAPODENE® until Orions patents
with respect to the composition of matter of toremifene, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in
ACAPODENE®, expire. Although Orions composition of matter patents within the European Territory
have expired, and as such, would not prevent Ipsen from manufacturing ACAPODENE® within the
European Territory, there is no obligation on the part of Orion to transfer its manufacturing
technology to Ipsen or to assist Ipsen in developing manufacturing capabilities to meet Ipsens
supply needs if Ipsen is in material breach of its supply agreement with Orion. Although we and
Ipsen have agreed to collaborate with each other in the event either of our supply rights are
terminated by Orion for any reason, a disruption in the supply of ACAPODENE® could delay the
development of and impair our and Ipsens ability to commercialize ACAPODENE®. In addition, Orion
may terminate its obligation to supply us and Ipsen with toremifene if Orion ceases its manufacture
of toremifene permanently, or Orion may terminate it obligation to supply us if ACAPODENE® is not
approved for commercial sale in the United States by December 31, 2009. If such termination occurs
because Orion is no longer manufacturing toremifene, or because such regulatory approval is not
obtained prior to the specified date, we and Ipsen will have the right to manufacture ACAPODENE®,
but any arrangements we make for an alternative supply would still have to be made with a qualified
alternative supplier with appropriate FDA approval in order for us to obtain our supply
requirements for ACAPODENE®. We and Ipsen have mutually agreed to cooperate in the manufacture of
ACAPODENE® in the event Orion ceases manufacture of toremifene for any of the above-mentioned
reasons.
We also rely on Orion to cooperate with us in the filing and maintenance of regulatory filings
with respect to the manufacture of ACAPODENE®. Orion may terminate its obligation to assist us in
obtaining and maintaining regulatory approval of ACAPODENE® if we do not receive regulatory
approval for ACAPODENE® in the United States by December 31, 2009. If Orion terminates its
obligation to cooperate in these activities, or does not cooperate with us or otherwise does not
successfully file or maintain these regulatory filings, we would be required to make arrangements
with a qualified alternative supplier, which could delay or prevent regulatory approval of
ACAPODENE®.
Under our joint collaboration and license agreement with Ortho Biotech, Ortho Biotech is
responsible for the manufacture, packaging and supply of andarine for both clinical trials and
commercialization. We have relied on EaglePicher Pharmaceutical Services as our single supplier
for ostarine, and we are currently assessing our manufacturing needs for additional clinical trial
materials and commercial supply of ostarine as we continue to review our clinical strategy for
ostarine. We will evaluate whether to continue to rely on the manufacturing capabilities of
EaglePicher or whether some or all of the manufacturing process should be transferred to another
contract manufacturer as we plan for our clinical trials and potential commercial launch of
ostarine. If our current supply of ostarine becomes unusable, if our ostarine supply is not
sufficient to complete our clinical trials, or if we are unsuccessful in identifying a contract
manufacturer or negotiating a manufacturing agreement on a timely basis for our clinical trials and
potential commercial launch, we could experience a delay in receiving an adequate supply of
ostarine.
We may not be able to maintain or renew our existing or any other third-party manufacturing
arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all. If we are unable to continue relationships with Orion
for ACAPODENE® and EaglePicher or Ortho Biotech for ostarine or andarine, respectively, or to do so
at an acceptable cost, or if these or other suppliers fail to meet our requirements for these
product candidates or for ostarine for any reason, we would be required to obtain alternate
suppliers. However, we may not be permitted to obtain alternate suppliers for ACAPODENE® under our
license agreement with Orion if Orion terminates its supply of ACAPODENE® due to our uncured
material breach or bankruptcy. Any
33
inability to obtain alternate suppliers, including an inability to obtain approval from the FDA of
an alternate supplier, would delay or prevent the clinical development and commercialization of
these product candidates.
Use of third-party manufacturers may increase the risk that we will not have adequate supplies of
our product candidates.
Reliance on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which we would not be subject if we
manufactured product candidates or products ourselves, including:
|
|
|
reliance on the third party for regulatory compliance and quality assurance; |
|
|
|
|
the possible breach of the manufacturing agreement by the third party because of factors
beyond our control; |
|
|
|
|
the possible termination or non-renewal of the agreement by the third party, based on
its own business priorities, at a time that is costly or inconvenient for us; and |
|
|
|
|
the possible exercise by Orion of its right to terminate its obligation to supply us
with toremifene: |
|
|
|
if it permanently ceases manufacture of toremifene or if we do not
obtain regulatory approval of ACAPODENE® in the United States prior to December 31,
2009; or |
|
|
|
|
if Orion terminates due to our uncured material breach or bankruptcy. |
If we are not able to obtain adequate supplies of our product candidates, it will be more
difficult for us to develop our product candidates and compete effectively. Our product candidates
and any products that we may develop may compete with other product candidates and products for
access to manufacturing facilities. For example, the active pharmaceutical ingredient in ACAPODENE®
is also the active pharmaceutical ingredient in FARESTON®. Further, Orion has agreed to supply
ACAPODENE® tablets to Ipsen for clinical trials and commercial supply in the European Territory.
Orion also manufactures toremifene for third parties for sale outside the United States for the
treatment of advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
Our present or future manufacturing partners may not be able to comply with FDA-mandated
current Good Manufacturing Practice regulations, other FDA regulatory requirements or similar
regulatory requirements outside the United States. Failure of our third-party manufacturers or us
to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including
fines, injunctions, civil penalties, failure of regulatory authorities to grant marketing approval
of our product candidates, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation,
seizures or recalls of product candidates or products, operating restrictions and criminal
prosecutions, any of which could significantly and adversely affect supplies of our product
candidates.
If third parties on whom we rely do not perform as contractually required or expected, we may not
be able to obtain regulatory approval for or to commercialize our product candidates.
We do not have the ability to independently conduct clinical trials for our product
candidates, and we must rely on third parties, such as contract research organizations, medical
institutions, clinical investigators and contract laboratories to conduct our clinical trials. In
addition, we rely on third parties to assist with our preclinical development of product
candidates. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or
regulatory obligations or meet expected deadlines, if the third parties need to be replaced, or if
the quality or accuracy of the data they obtain is compromised due to the failure to adhere to our
clinical protocols or regulatory requirements or for other reasons, our preclinical
34
development activities or clinical trials may be extended, delayed, suspended or terminated,
and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize our product
candidates.
We are dependent on our collaborative arrangement with Ortho Biotech to develop and commercialize
andarine and we are dependent on our collaborative arrangement with Ipsen to develop and
commercialize ACAPODENE® in the European Territory. We may also be dependent upon additional
collaborative arrangements to complete the development and commercialization of some of our other
product candidates. These collaborative arrangements may place the development and
commercialization of our product candidates outside our control, may require us to relinquish
important rights or may otherwise be on terms unfavorable to us.
The loss of Ortho Biotech or Ipsen as a collaborator in the development or commercialization
of andarine or ACAPODENE®, respectively, any dispute over the terms of our collaborations with
Ortho Biotech or Ipsen, or any other adverse development in our relationships with Ortho Biotech or
Ipsen could materially harm our business and might accelerate our need for additional capital.
For example, while we initially anticipated proceeding with Phase II clinical studies of andarine
within a reasonable period subsequent to entering into our collaboration agreement with Ortho
Biotech, to date Ortho Biotech has not initiated a Phase II clinical trial. We do not know when,
or if, Ortho Biotech will initiate a Phase II clinical trial of andarine, and any failure to do so
could have an adverse effect on our business, including with respect to our potential receipt of
related milestone payments. Additionally, Ipsen is obligated to initiate and conduct appropriate
clinical studies as required by the appropriate regulatory authorities in order to obtain marketing
approvals of ACAPODENE® within the European Territory. Any failure on the part of Ipsen to initiate
these studies could delay the commercialization of ACAPODENE® within the
European Territory.
We may not be successful in entering into additional collaborative arrangements with other
third parties. If we fail to enter into additional collaborative arrangements on favorable terms,
it could delay or impair our ability to develop and commercialize our other product candidates and
could increase our costs of development and commercialization.
Dependence on collaborative arrangements, including our arrangements with Ortho Biotech and
Ipsen for the development and commercialization of andarine and ACAPODENE®, respectively, subjects
us to a number of risks, including:
|
|
|
we are not able to control the amount and timing of resources that Ortho Biotech or
Ipsen devotes to andarine or ACAPODENE®, respectively; |
|
|
|
|
we may not be able to control the amount and timing of resources that our potential
future partners may devote to our product candidates; |
|
|
|
|
our partners may experience financial difficulties or changes in business focus; |
|
|
|
|
we may be required to relinquish important rights such as marketing and distribution rights; |
|
|
|
|
under certain circumstances, Ipsen may not be required to commercialize ACAPODENE® in
certain countries of the European Territory if it is determined that it is not commercially
reasonable for it to do so; |
|
|
|
|
pricing reimbursement constraints within the European Territory may diminish the
prospects of our receiving royalty payments from Ipsen on aggregate net sales of ACAPODENE®
in some or all of the countries within the European Territory; |
35
|
|
|
should a collaborator fail to develop or commercialize one of our compounds or product
candidates, we may not receive any future milestone payments and will not receive any
royalties for this compound or product candidate; |
|
|
|
|
business combinations or significant changes in a collaborators business strategy may
also adversely affect a collaborators willingness or ability to complete its obligations
under any arrangement; |
|
|
|
|
a collaborator could move forward with a competing product candidate developed either
independently or in collaboration with others, including our competitors; and |
|
|
|
|
collaborative arrangements are often terminated or allowed to expire, which would delay
the development and may increase the cost of developing our product candidates. |
Additionally, we and Ipsen have agreed that neither party will seek to commercialize, promote,
market or sell certain products within the European Territory for an agreed period of time
subsequent to the time of the first commercial launch of ACAPODENE® within the European Territory.
We and Ipsen have also agreed to grant to the other a right of first negotiation with respect to
the development, marketing, sale and distribution of any new SERM-based products for the field of
the prevention and treatment of prostate cancer or related side effects, or any other indication
the parties agree on.
Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property
Our license agreement with Orion excludes the use of toremifene in humans to treat breast cancer
outside the United States and may limit our ability to market ACAPODENE® for human uses of
toremifene outside the United States.
Our exclusive license from Orion excludes the use of toremifene for the treatment of breast
cancer outside the United States. Orion has licensed to other parties the right to market, sell and
distribute toremifene for the treatment of advanced breast cancer outside the United States and
could license additional parties to market, sell and distribute toremifene for this indication
outside the United States.
Under the terms of our license agreement with Orion, Orion may require us and Ipsen to modify
our final ACAPODENE® development plans for specified major markets outside the United States if
those development plans could adversely affect Orions or Orions other licensees activities
related to FARESTON® for breast cancer outside the United States or toremifene-based animal health
products. Although we do not believe that our or Ipsens development plans adversely affect these
activities, any future modifications to our or Ipsens plans imposed by Orion may limit our and
Ipsens ability to maximize the commercial potential of ACAPODENE®.
Furthermore, we and our affiliates are prohibited from marketing or selling products
containing toremifene or related SERM compounds for human use in the United States and other major
countries located outside the European Union during the term of Orions patents covering toremifene
in such countries, which in the United States expire in September 2009. The binding effect of this
noncompetition provision on us and our affiliates may make it more difficult for us to be acquired
by some potential buyers during the relevant time periods even if we determine that a sale of the
company would be in the best interests of our stockholders.
36
If some or all of our, or our licensors, patents expire or are invalidated or are found to be
unenforceable, or if some or all of our patent applications do not yield issued patents or yield
patents with narrow claims, or if we are estopped from asserting that the claims of an issued
patent cover a product of a third party, we may be subject to competition from third parties with
products with the same active pharmaceutical ingredients as our product candidates.
Our commercial success will depend in part on obtaining and maintaining patent and trade
secret protection for our product candidates, the methods for treating patients in the product
indications using these product candidates and the methods used to synthesize these product
candidates. We will be able to protect our product candidates and the methods for treating patients
in the product indications using these product candidates from unauthorized use by third parties
only to the extent that we or our exclusive licensors own or control such valid and enforceable
patents or trade secrets. Additionally, Ipsens ability to successfully market ACAPODENE® within a
substantial portion of the European Territory may depend on the granting of marketing and data
exclusivity from the appropriate regulatory authorities.
Our rights to specified patent applications relating to SARM compounds that we have licensed
from the University of Tennessee Research Foundation, or UTRF, are subject to the terms of UTRFs
license with The Ohio State University Research Foundation, or OSURF, and our rights to future
related improvements are subject to UTRFs exercise of an exclusive option under its agreement with
OSURF for such improvements, which UTRF can exercise at no additional cost to it. In addition,
under the terms of our agreements with the diagnostic companies to which we provide clinical
samples from our Phase IIb and Phase III clinical trial of ACAPODENE®, we will not obtain any
intellectual property rights in any of their developments, including any test developed to detect
high grade PIN or prostate cancer.
Even if our product candidates and the methods for treating patients in the product
indications using these product candidates are covered by valid and enforceable patents and have
claims with sufficient scope and support in the specification, the patents will provide protection
only for a limited amount of time. For example, the patent that we have licensed from Orion
covering the composition of matter of toremifene expires in the United States in September 2009.
Foreign counterparts of this patent have either already expired or will expire in Australia, Italy,
Sweden and Switzerland in 2008, that is, before we or Ipsen will commercialize ACAPODENE®. As a
result, outside the United States and in the United States after 2009, we will need to rely
primarily on the protection afforded by method of use patents relating to the use of ACAPODENE® for
the relevant product indications that have been issued or may be issued from our owned or licensed
patent applications. Within the European Union, Ipsen may need to rely primarily on the protection
afforded by marketing and data exclusivity for the ACAPODENE® products to be sold within the
countries comprising the European Union. To date, most of our applications for method of use
patents filed for ACAPODENE® outside of the United States are still pending and have not yielded
issued patents. Although we intend to apply, if appropriate, for extensions of patent terms under
applicable United States laws pertaining to our method of use patents, we may not be able to secure
any such regulatory exclusivity or extension of patent term. Loss of
marketing and data exclusivity for the ACAPODENE® products to be commercialized within the European
Union could adversely affect its ability to successfully commercialize these products, and our
failure to obtain any extension of patent terms for our method of use patents could adversely
affect our prospects for protecting our ACAPODENE® products from competitive pressures in the
United States for the time periods we currently expect. We are not eligible for any such
exclusivity or further extension of the composition of matter patent of toremifene licensed to us
by Orion in the United States.
Our and our licensors ability to obtain patents can be highly uncertain and involve complex
and in some cases unsettled legal issues and factual questions. Furthermore, different countries
have different procedures for obtaining patents, and patents issued in different countries provide
different degrees of protection against the use of a patented invention by others. Therefore, if
the issuance to us or our
37
licensors, in a given country, of a patent covering an invention is not followed by the
issuance, in other countries, of patents covering the same invention, or if any judicial
interpretation of the validity, enforceability or scope of the claims in a patent issued in one
country is not similar to the interpretation given to the corresponding patent issued in another
country, our ability to protect our intellectual property in those countries may be limited.
Changes in either patent laws or in interpretations of patent laws in the United States and other
countries may diminish the value of our intellectual property or narrow the scope of our patent
protection.
Even if patents are issued to us or our licensors regarding our product candidates or methods
of using them, those patents can be challenged by our competitors who can argue such patents are
invalid or unenforceable or that the claims of the issued patents should be limited or narrowly
construed. Patents also will not protect our product candidates if competitors devise ways of
making or using these product candidates without legally infringing our patents. The Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act and FDA regulations and policies create a regulatory environment that
encourages companies to challenge branded drug patents or to create noninfringing versions of a
patented product in order to facilitate the approval of abbreviated new drug applications for
generic substitutes. These same types of incentives encourage competitors to submit new drug
applications that rely on literature and clinical data not prepared for or by the drug sponsor,
providing another less burdensome pathway to approval.
We also rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, especially where we do not believe
that patent protection is appropriate or obtainable. However, trade secrets are difficult to
protect. Our employees, consultants, contractors, outside scientific collaborators and other
advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our confidential information to competitors, and
confidentiality agreements may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized
disclosure of confidential information. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and
is using our trade secrets is expensive and time-consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable.
Moreover, our competitors may independently develop equivalent knowledge, methods and know-how.
Failure to obtain or maintain trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive
business position.
Off-label sale or use of toremifene products could decrease sales of ACAPODENE® and could lead to
pricing pressure if such products become available at competitive prices and in dosages that are
appropriate for the indications for which we and Ipsen are developing ACAPODENE®.
In all countries in which we hold or have licensed rights to patents or patent applications
related to ACAPODENE®, the composition of matter patents we license from Orion will expire before
our method of use patents, and in some countries outside the United States, the composition of
matter patents have already expired. Our method of use patents may not protect ACAPODENE® from the
risk of off-label sale or use of other toremifene products in place of ACAPODENE®. Physicians are
permitted to prescribe legally available drugs for uses that are not described in the drugs
labeling and that differ from those uses tested and approved by the FDA or its equivalent. Such
off-label uses are common across medical specialties and are particularly prevalent for cancer
treatments. Any off-label sales of toremifene may adversely affect our or Ipsens ability to
generate revenue from the sale of ACAPODENE®, if approved for commercial sale.
Even in the event that patents are issued from our pending method of use patent applications,
after the expiration of the patent covering the composition of matter of toremifene in a particular
country, competitors could market and sell toremifene products for uses for which FARESTON® has
already been approved. Thus, physicians in such countries would be permitted to prescribe these
other toremifene products for indications that are protected by our method of use patents or
patents issuing from pending patent applications, even though these toremifene products would not
have been approved for those uses, and in most cases the competitor would not be liable for
infringing our patents. Moreover, because Orion
38
has licensed and could further license other parties to market, sell and distribute toremifene
for breast cancer outside the United States, physicians in such countries could prescribe these
products sold pursuant to another Orion license off-label. This further increases the risk of
off-label competition developing for ACAPODENE® for the indications for which we and Ipsen are
developing this product candidate. In addition, if no patents are issued with respect to our
pending method of use patent applications related to the use of ACAPODENE® in the countries outside
of the United States where these applications are currently pending, after the expiration of the
patent covering the composition of matter of toremifene in a particular country, we would have no
patent to prevent competitors from marketing and selling generic versions of toremifene at doses
and in formulations equivalent to ACAPODENE® for the indications covered by our pending method of
use patent applications. Also, regulatory authorities may not
recognize marketing and data exclusivity for ACAPODENE® in the European Union for the treatment of prostate cancer and the
multiple side effects resulting from androgen deprivation therapy. If generic versions of
toremifene are able to be sold in countries within the European Territory for the indications for
which Ipsen anticipates marketing ACAPODENE®, the royalties to be paid to us by Ipsen will be
reduced if the total generic sales exceed a certain threshold for a certain period of time.
Similarly, the royalties we will be paying to Orion for its licensing and supply of toremifene will
be reduced if the same generic sales thresholds are reached.
If we infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, it may increase our costs or prevent
us from being able to commercialize our product candidates.
There is a risk that we are infringing the proprietary rights of third parties because
numerous United States and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications, which are owned
by third parties, exist in the fields that are the focus of our drug discovery and development
efforts. Others might have been the first to make the inventions covered by each of our or our
licensors pending patent applications and issued patents and might have been the first to file
patent applications for these inventions. In addition, because patent applications can take many
years to issue, there may be currently pending applications, unknown to us or our licensors, which
may later result in issued patents that cover the production, manufacture, commercialization,
formulation or use of our product candidates. In addition, the production, manufacture,
commercialization, formulation or use of our product candidates may infringe existing patents of
which we are not aware. Defending ourselves against third-party claims, including litigation in
particular, would be costly and time consuming and would divert managements attention from our
business, which could lead to delays in our development or commercialization efforts. If third
parties are successful in their claims, we might have to pay substantial damages or take other
actions that are adverse to our business.
As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or to avoid potential claims, we
might:
|
|
|
be prohibited from selling or licensing any product that we may develop unless the
patent holder licenses the patent to us, which the patent holder is not required to do; |
|
|
|
|
be required to pay substantial royalties or grant a cross license to our patents to
another patent holder, or |
|
|
|
|
be required to redesign the formulation of a product candidate so it does not infringe,
which may not be possible or could require substantial funds and time. |
In addition, under our collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen, Ipsen may be entitled to
offset a portion of any royalties due to us in any calendar year on account of ACAPODENE® sales
to pay for costs incurred by Ipsen to obtain a license to any dominant intellectual property
rights that are infringed by such ACAPODENE® sales.
39
Risk Related to Regulatory Approval of Our Product Candidates
If we or our collaborators are not able to obtain required regulatory approvals, we or our
collaborators will not be able to commercialize our product candidates, and our ability to generate
revenue will be materially impaired.
Our product candidates and the activities associated with their development and
commercialization are subject to comprehensive regulation by the FDA, and other regulatory agencies
in the United States and by comparable authorities in other countries. Failure to obtain regulatory
approval for a product candidate will prevent us from commercializing our product candidate and
will prevent our collaborators from commercializing the product candidate in the licensed
territories. We have not received regulatory approval to market any of our product candidates in
any jurisdiction and have only limited experience in preparing and filing the applications
necessary to gain regulatory approvals. In addition, we will not receive a substantial majority of
the milestone payments provided under our collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen or any
royalty payments if Ipsen is unable to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals to commercialize
ACAPODENE® within the European Territory. The process of obtaining regulatory approvals is
expensive, often takes many years, if approval is obtained at all, and can vary substantially based
upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates involved.
Changes in the regulatory approval policy during the development period, changes in or the
enactment of additional regulations or statutes, or changes in regulatory review for each submitted
product application, may cause delays in the approval or rejection of an application. Even if the
FDA approves a product candidate, the approval may impose significant restrictions on the indicated
uses, conditions for use, labeling, advertising, promotion, marketing and/or production of such
product, and may impose ongoing requirements for post-approval studies, including additional
research and development and clinical trials. The FDA also may impose various civil or criminal
sanctions for failure to comply with regulatory requirements, including withdrawal of product
approval.
Furthermore, the approval procedure and the time required to obtain approval varies among
countries and can involve additional testing beyond that required by the FDA. Approval by one
regulatory authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other jurisdictions.
The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may refuse to accept any
application or may decide that our data are insufficient for approval and require additional
preclinical, clinical or other studies. For example, we believe that if the results of our ongoing
Phase III clinical trial of ACAPODENE® for the reduction in the incidence of prostate cancer in men
with high grade PIN are sufficiently positive, that trial will be sufficient to serve as a single
pivotal Phase III clinical trial for this indication. In September 2005, we received a Special
Protocol Assessment from the FDA. A SPA is designed to facilitate the FDAs review and approval of
drug products by allowing the agency to evaluate the proposed design and size of clinical trials
that are intended to form the primary basis for determining a drug products efficacy. If agreement
is reached with the FDA, a SPA documents the terms and conditions under which the design of the
subject trial will be adequate for submission of the efficacy and human safety portion of a NDA.
However, there are circumstances under which we may not receive the benefits of the SPA, notably
including if the FDA subsequently identifies a substantial scientific issue essential to
determining the products safety or efficacy. In addition, varying interpretations of the data
obtained from preclinical and clinical testing could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval of
a product candidate. Furthermore, even if we file an application with the FDA for marketing
approval of a product candidate, it may not result in marketing approval from the FDA.
40
We do not expect to receive regulatory approval for the commercial sale of any of our product
candidates that are in development for the next few years. Similarly, it is not anticipated that
Ipsen will receive the appropriate regulatory approvals to market ACAPODENE® within the European
Territory until at least the same time period, if not later, than we expect to receive regulatory
approval within the United States. The inability to obtain FDA approval or approval from comparable
authorities in other countries for our product candidates would prevent us or our collaborators
from commercializing these product candidates in the United States or other countries. See the
section entitled Business Government Regulation under Part I, Item 1 of our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, for additional information regarding risks associated with approval, as well as risks
related to post-approval requirements.
Risks Related to Commercialization
The commercial success of any products that we may develop will depend upon the degree of market
acceptance among physicians, patients, health care payors and the medical community.
Any products that we may develop may not gain market acceptance among physicians, patients,
health care payors and the medical community. If these products do not achieve an adequate level of
acceptance, we may not generate material product revenues, and we may not become profitable. The
degree of market acceptance of our product candidates, if approved for commercial sale, will depend
on a number of factors, including:
|
|
|
the prevalence and severity of any side effects; |
|
|
|
|
potential advantages over alternative treatments; |
|
|
|
|
the ability to offer our product candidates for sale at competitive prices; |
|
|
|
|
relative convenience and ease of administration; |
|
|
|
|
the strength of marketing and distribution support; and |
|
|
|
|
sufficient third-party coverage or reimbursement. |
Our only marketed product generating revenue is FARESTON®. FARESTON® is subject to a number of
risks that may cause sales of FARESTON® to continue to decline.
FARESTON® is currently our only marketed product. Sales of FARESTON® in the United States have
been declining and we anticipate that they will continue to do so. Continued sales of FARESTON®
could be impacted by many factors. The occurrence of one or more of the following risks may cause
sales of FARESTON® to decline more than we currently anticipate:
|
|
|
the loss of the availability of Orions website to market FARESTON®, which is an
important source of advertising; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of one or more of our three largest wholesale drug distributors, which
accounted for approximately 94% of our revenue generated from the sale of FARESTON® for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006; |
|
|
|
|
the continued success of competing products, including aromatase inhibitors; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of coverage or reimbursement for FARESTON® from Medicare and Medicaid,
private health insurers or other third-party payors; |
41
|
|
|
exposure to product liability claims related to the commercial sale of FARESTON®,
which may exceed our product liability insurance; |
|
|
|
|
the failure of Orion to maintain regulatory filings or comply with applicable FDA
requirements with respect to FARESTON®; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of third parties to market and sell generic toremifene products that will
compete with FARESTON® for the treatment of breast cancer after the composition of matter
patents that we license from Orion expire in the United States in September 2009; |
|
|
|
|
the loss of Orion, upon which we rely as a single source, as our supplier of FARESTON®;
and |
|
|
|
|
our inability to manufacture FARESTON® until Orions patents with respect to the
composition of matter of toremifene expire if Orion terminates our license and supply
agreement due to our uncured material breach or bankruptcy. |
Sales of pharmaceuticals for breast cancer in the SERM class have declined in recent years as
aromatase inhibitors have gained market share. We believe that aromatase inhibitors will continue
to capture breast cancer market share from SERMs, including from FARESTON®, resulting in a
continued decline in FARESTON® sales.
If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capabilities or enter into and maintain
agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may be unable to
generate product revenue from such candidates.
We have limited experience as a company in the sales, marketing and distribution of
pharmaceutical products. There are risks involved with building our own sales and marketing
capabilities, as well as entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services.
For example, building a sales force is expensive and time-consuming and could delay any launch of a
product candidate. Similarly, we are relying on Ipsen to market and distribute our ACAPODENE®
product candidates through Ipsens established sales and marketing network within the European
Territory. If our collaboration and license agreement with Ipsen is terminated for any reason, our
ability to sell our ACAPODENE® product candidates in the European Territory would be adversely
affected, and we may be unable to develop or engage an effective sales force to successfully market
and sell our ACAPODENE® product candidates in the European Territory. In addition, to the extent
that we enter into arrangements with third parties to perform sales, marketing and distribution
services, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we market and sell any products that
we develop ourselves.
If we are unable to obtain adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for products
we sell at acceptable prices, our revenues and prospects for profitability will suffer.
Many patients will not be capable of paying for any products that we may develop and will rely
on Medicare and Medicaid, private health insurers and other third-party payors to pay for their
medical needs. If third-party payors do not provide coverage or reimbursement for any products that
we may develop, our revenues and prospects for profitability may suffer. In December 2003, the
President of the United States signed into law the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and
Modernization Act of 2003, legislation creating a prescription drug benefit program for Medicare
recipients. The prescription drug program established by the legislation may have the effect of
reducing the prices that we are able to charge for products we develop and sell through the
program. This prescription drug legislation may also cause third-party payors other than the
federal government, including the states under the Medicaid program, to discontinue coverage for
products that we may develop or to lower the amount that they pay.
42
State Medicaid programs generally have outpatient prescription drug coverage, subject to state
regulatory restrictions, for the population eligible for Medicaid. The availability of coverage or
reimbursement for prescription drugs under private health insurance and managed care plans varies
based on the type of contract or plan purchased.
A primary trend in the United States health care industry is toward cost containment. In
addition, in some foreign countries, particularly the countries of the European Union, the pricing
of prescription pharmaceuticals is subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing
negotiations with governmental authorities can take six to 12 months or longer after the receipt of
regulatory marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some
countries, we or our collaborators may be required to conduct a clinical trial that compares the
cost effectiveness of our product candidates or products to other available therapies. The conduct
of such a clinical trial could be expensive and result in delays in our commercialization.
Third-party payors are challenging the prices charged for medical products and services, and many
third-party payors limit reimbursement for newly-approved health care products. In particular,
third-party payors may limit the indications for which they will reimburse patients who use any
products that we may develop or products we sell. Cost-control initiatives could decrease the price
we might establish for products that we may develop or that we sell, which would result in lower
product revenues to us.
Another development that may affect the pricing of drugs is proposed Congressional action
regarding drug reimportation into the United States. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement
and Modernization Act of 2003 gives discretion to the Secretary of Health and Human Services to
allow drug reimportation into the United States under some circumstances from foreign countries,
including countries where the drugs are sold at a lower price than in the United States. Proponents
of drug reimportation may attempt to pass legislation which would directly allow reimportation
under certain circumstances. If legislation or regulations were passed allowing the reimportation
of drugs, they could decrease the price we receive for any products that we may develop, negatively
affecting our revenues and prospects for profitability.
If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we will incur substantial liabilities and may
be required to limit commercialization of any products that we may develop.
We face an inherent risk of product liability exposure related to the testing of our product
candidates in human clinical trials and will face an even greater risk if we commercially sell any
product that we may develop. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against claims that our
product candidates or products caused injuries, we will incur substantial liabilities. Regardless
of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:
|
|
|
decreased demand for any product candidates or products; |
|
|
|
|
injury to our reputation; |
|
|
|
|
withdrawal of clinical trial participants; |
|
|
|
|
costs to defend the related litigation; |
|
|
|
|
substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients; |
|
|
|
|
loss of revenue; and |
|
|
|
|
the inability to commercialize any products for which we obtain or hold approvals. |
We have product liability insurance that covers our clinical trials and commercial products up
to a $20.0 million annual aggregate limit. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive. We may
not be able
43
to maintain insurance coverage at a reasonable cost and we may not be able to obtain insurance
coverage that will be adequate to satisfy any liability that may arise.
If our competitors are better able to develop and market products than any products that we may
develop, our commercial opportunity will be reduced or eliminated.
We face competition from established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as
from academic institutions, government agencies and private and public research institutions. Our
commercial opportunities will be reduced or eliminated if our competitors develop and commercialize
products that are safer, more effective, have fewer side effects or are less expensive than any
products that we may develop. In addition, significant delays in the development of our product
candidates could allow our competitors to bring products to market before us and impair our ability
to commercialize our product candidates.
Various products are currently marketed or sold and used off-label for some of the diseases
and conditions that we are targeting, and a number of companies are or may be developing new
treatments. The occurrence of such off-label uses could significantly reduce our ability to market
and sell any products that we may develop. For example, although there are no products that have
been approved by the FDA to treat multiple side effects of androgen deprivation therapy, we are
aware of a number of drugs marketed by Eli Lilly, Merck, Sanofi-Aventis, Procter & Gamble, Wyeth
Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim, Novartis and Bristol Myers Squibb that are prescribed
off-label to treat single side effects of this therapy; that external beam radiation is used to
treat breast pain and enlargement; and that Amgen is developing a product candidate for the
treatment of osteoporosis in prostate cancer patients. While we have the only pharmaceutical
product in clinical development to prevent prostate cancer in men with high grade PIN,
GlaxoSmithKline is conducting a Phase III study on prostate cancer prevention which purposely
excludes the high risk patient group of men with high grade PIN. In addition, there are
nutritional supplement studies (for example selenium) investigating prostate cancer prevention in
men with high grade PIN. Similarly, while there are no drugs that have been approved by the FDA
for the treatment of muscle wasting from cancer, there are drugs marketed by Steris Laboratories
and Savient Pharmaceuticals that are being prescribed off-label for the treatment of some types of
muscle wasting from cancer. Testosterone and other anabolic agents are used to treat involuntary
weight loss in patients who have acute muscle wasting. Also, TAP Pharmaceuticals and Ligand
Pharmaceuticals have entered into a collaboration agreement to develop a SARM and may be initiating
Phase II studies in 2006. In addition, there are other SARM product candidates at an earlier stage
of development that may compete with our product candidates. Wyeth and Amgen have myostatin
inhibitors in development which may compete for similar patients as ostarine. This could result in
reduced sales and pricing pressure on our product candidates, if approved, which in turn would
reduce our ability to generate revenue and have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in
research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, conducting clinical trials, obtaining
regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. Smaller or early-stage companies
may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with
large and established companies. These third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining
qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient
registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies and technology licenses
complementary to our programs or advantageous to our business.
44
Risks Related to Employees and Growth
If we fail to attract and keep senior management and key scientific personnel, we may be unable to
successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates.
Our success depends on our continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified
management, clinical and scientific personnel and on our ability to develop and maintain important
relationships with leading academic institutions, clinicians and scientists. If we are not able to
attract and keep senior management and key scientific personnel, particularly Dr. Mitchell S.
Steiner, we may not be able to successfully develop or commercialize our product candidates. All of
our employees are at-will employees and can terminate their employment at any time. We do not carry
key person insurance covering members of senior management, other than $25 million of insurance
covering Dr. Steiner.
We will need to hire additional employees in order to continue our clinical trials and
commercialize our product candidates. Any inability to manage future growth could harm our ability
to commercialize our product candidates, increase our costs and adversely impact our ability to
compete effectively.
In order to continue our clinical trials and commercialize our product candidates, we will
need to expand the number of our managerial, operational, financial and other employees. We
currently anticipate that we will need between 150 and 250 additional employees by the time that
ACAPODENE or ostarine is initially commercialized, including 50 to 100 sales representatives. The
competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology field is intense.
Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management,
including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our future
financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates and to compete
effectively will depend, in part, on our ability to manage any future growth effectively.

The market prices for securities of biotechnology companies in general have been highly
volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future. The following factors, in addition
to other risk factors described in this section, may have a significant impact on the market price
of our common stock:
|
|
|
adverse results or delays in our clinical trials; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of achievement of our clinical, regulatory and other milestones, such as the
commencement of clinical development, the completion of a clinical trial or the receipt of
regulatory approval; |
|
|
|
|
announcement of FDA approval or non-approval of our product candidates or delays in the
FDA review process; |
|
|
|
|
actions taken by regulatory agencies with respect to our product candidates or products,
our clinical trials or our sales and marketing activities; |
|
|
|
|
the commercial success of any product approved by the FDA or its foreign counterparts; |
|
|
|
|
developments with respect to our collaborations with Ortho Biotech and Ipsen; |
|
|
|
|
the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we may
establish; |
45
|
|
|
regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the structure of health care payment systems; |
|
|
|
|
any intellectual property infringement lawsuit involving us; |
|
|
|
|
announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
|
|
|
|
market conditions for the biotechnology or pharmaceutical industries in general; |
|
|
|
|
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our results of operation; |
|
|
|
|
changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; |
|
|
|
|
sales of large blocks of our common stock; |
|
|
|
|
sales of our common stock by our executive officers, directors and significant stockholders; |
|
|
|
|
changes in accounting principles; and |
|
|
|
|
the loss of any of our key scientific or management personnel. |
The stock markets in general, and the markets for biotechnology stocks in particular, have
experienced significant volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our
common stock. In the past, class action litigation has often been instituted against companies
whose securities have experienced periods of volatility in market price. Any such litigation
brought against us could result in substantial costs, which would hurt our financial condition and
results of operations and divert managements attention and resources, which could result in delays
of our clinical trials or commercialization efforts.
Our officers, directors and largest stockholders will maintain the ability to control all matters
submitted to stockholders for approval.
As of September 30, 2006, our officers, directors and holders of 5% or more of our outstanding
common stock beneficially owned approximately 78.9% of our outstanding common stock. Our officers
and directors owned approximately 58.4% of our outstanding common stock as of September 30, 2006.
As a result, these stockholders, acting together, will be able to control all matters requiring
approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or
other business combination transactions. The interests of this group of stockholders may not always
coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders.
Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could make an acquisition
of us, which may be beneficial to our stockholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our
stockholders to replace or remove our current management.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may delay or prevent an
acquisition of us or a change in our management. In addition, these provisions may frustrate or
prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it
more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our Board of Directors. Because our Board of
Directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could
in turn affect any attempt by our stockholders to replace current members of our management team.
These provisions include:
46
|
|
|
a classified Board of Directors; |
|
|
|
|
a prohibition on actions by our stockholders by written consent; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of our Board of Directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder
approval, which could be used to institute a poison pill that would work to dilute the
stock ownership of a potential hostile acquirer, effectively preventing acquisitions that
have not been approved by our Board of Directors; and |
|
|
|
|
limitations on the removal of directors. |
Moreover, because we are incorporated in Delaware, we are governed by the provisions of
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a person who owns in excess of
15% of our outstanding voting stock from merging or combining with us for a period of three years
after the date of the transaction in which the person acquired in excess of 15% of our outstanding
voting stock, unless the merger or combination is approved in a prescribed manner. Finally, these
provisions establish advance notice requirements for nominations for election to our Board of
Directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon at stockholder meetings. These provisions
would apply even if the offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders.
A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may
be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of our common stock
to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.
For the 12 month period ended September 30, 2006, the average daily trading volume of our
common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market was approximately 85,000 shares. As a result, future sales
of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that
such sales may occur, could adversely affect the then-prevailing market price of our common stock.
As of September 30, 2006, we had 31,005,717 shares of common stock outstanding.
Based on information currently available to us, all of the shares of our common stock
currently outstanding are eligible for sale in the public market, subject in some cases to volume
and other limitations under federal securities laws.
Moreover, J.R. Hyde, III, Oracle Partners, L.P. and Memphis Biomed Ventures I, L.P., three of
our largest stockholders, and their affiliates, have rights, subject to some conditions, to require
us to file registration statements covering the approximately 11.1 million shares of common stock
they hold in the aggregate which are subject to registration rights or to include these shares in
registration statements that we may file for ourselves or other stockholders. Additionally, all
shares of common stock that we may issue under our employee benefit plans can be freely sold in the
public market upon issuance.

Exhibit 10.36
Partial Assignment of the Amended and Restated License and
Supply Agreement
This Partial Assignment Agreement (the Partial Assignment) is made and entered into
this 7th day of September, 2006 (the Assignment Effective Date), amongst GTx, Inc., a
corporation existing under the laws of the State of Delaware and having its principal offices at 3
North Dunlap Avenue, Van Vleet Building, Memphis, Tennessee 38163, USA (GTx), Orion
Corporation, a corporation existing under the laws of Finland and having its principal office
at Orionintie 1, 02200 Espoo, Finland (Orion), and Ipsen Limited, a company organized
under the laws of England and having its principal offices at 190 Bath Road, Slough SL1 3XE, United
Kingdom, (Ipsen). GTx, Orion, and Ipsen may hereinafter be referred to individually as a Party,
or collectively as the Parties.
Whereas, GTx and Orion have entered into the Amended and Restated License and Supply
Agreement dated the 1st day of January, 2005, which has been further amended on May 26,
2006 and June 30, 2006 (collectively, hereinafter referred to as the Orion Agreement) pertaining
to the license and supply of Toremifene based products;
WHEREAS, GTx and Ipsen have entered into a Collaboration and Licensing Agreement, dated as of
September 7, 2006 (the Sublicense Agreement), whereby GTx has sublicensed to Ipsen rights to
develop and commercialize Toremifene based products in the European Territory (as hereinafter
defined);
Whereas, GTx desires to assign to its European partner, Ipsen, certain supply rights
and obligations under the Orion Agreement solely as necessary to allow Orion to supply Ipsen with
Toremifene based products for sale in the European Territory;
Whereas, Orion wishes to consent to this partial assignment and to release GTx from
any obligations with respect to the rights assigned to, and obligations assumed by, Ipsen
hereunder; and
Whereas, the Parties wish that all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain unchanged and shall be retained in full force and effect unless specifically agreed
otherwise herein.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained
herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:
[ * ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
1.
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings given them in the Orion Agreement.
(a) As used herein, the term European Territory shall mean the European Union (as defined in
Section 1.9 of the Orion Agreement), Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Lichtenstein and the
Commonwealth of Independent States (which for purposes hereof means Russia, Belarus, Ukraine,
Moldova, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Georgia).
(b) As used herein, the term GTx Territory shall mean the United States and all other parts
of the world, except the European Territory.
2. CONDITIONAL EFFECTIVENESS OF PARTIAL ASSIGNMENT. The effectiveness of this Partial
Assignment shall be conditioned on Ipsen and GTx fully executing the Sublicense Agreement.
3. Partial Assignment of Supply Rights and Obligations.
(a) Applicable Territory: This Partial Assignment is being executed by the Parties for the
purpose of GTx assigning to Ipsen certain rights and obligations under the Orion License for the
ordering, supply and payment of Orion Products within the European Territory, as such rights and
obligations are amended in accordance with Appendix 1. The specific rights and obligations assigned
to Ipsen, as hereby amended, pertain only to the European Territory and, unless expressly set forth
to the contrary in this Assignment or Appendix 1 hereto, any provisions of the Orion Agreement
which are assigned to Ipsen by GTx shall continue to apply to GTx to define its rights and
obligations within the GTx Territory without regard to the amendments to such provisions set forth
in Appendix 1. If Ipsen shall not file its Election for the PIN Indication or if the Sublicense
Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 12.2(c)(ii), 12.3 and 12.4 of the Sublicense
Agreement, then the Parties agree that the amendments to the Orion License set forth in Appendix 1
shall continue to apply to the Orion Products to be developed and commercialized by GTx within the
European Territory.
(b) With respect to the European Territory and with effect from the Effective Date, GTx
assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to Ipsen that portion of GTxs rights and obligations to
those sections of the Orion Agreement listed in Appendix 1 of this Partial Assignment, as amended
in accordance with the amendments specified in Appendix 1(the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms), so
that a new agreement is entered into between Ipsen and Orion under which Ipsen and Orion will
perform the obligations contained in the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms and be entitled to the rights
contained in such Assigned Ipsen Supply Rights (the Assigned Supply Agreement).
(c) Orion hereby consents to the assignment by GTx to Ipsen of the Assigned Ipsen Supply
Terms. Orion will, with effect from the Effective Date, observe and perform in favour of Ipsen all
liabilities and obligations set out in the Assigned Supply Agreement to the same extent as if Ipsen
had been an original party to the Orion Agreement in relation to the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms,
each as arise or fall to be performed on and following the Effective Date.

COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24B-2 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED.
2.
(d) GTx shall remain jointly and severally liable with Ipsen towards Orion as regards the
payment due by Ipsen in accordance with Section 14.4.2 of the Orion Agreement, as assigned to Ipsen
pursuant to Appendix 1 of this Partial Assignment. Ipsen agrees to hold harmless and indemnify GTx
for any such payment owing to Orion and agrees to pay within thirty (30) days of GTxs written
notice thereof any amounts which GTx shall have to pay to Orion for Ipsen on account of GTxs joint
and several liability hereunder, with interest thereon at the rate of interest set forth in Section
3.8 of the Sublicense Agreement.
(e) Any terms and conditions relating to the Fareston Product under Articles 14, 15, 17, 18
and 19 of the Orion Agreement (including any cross-referenced provisions that may be logically
applicable by reference or incorporation in such Articles) shall not be assigned or otherwise
applicable to Ipsen. For clarity, GTx shall continue to be bound to any such provisions relating
to Fareston Product, to the extent such provisions remain in effect and such obligations have not
already been fully performed by GTx.

Sublicensee those rights it extends to GTx under Section 7 of the Orion Agreement to assist Ipsen
in its Development and regulatory activities within the European Territory, but only to the extent
set forth in such Section 7 and further only to the extent such assistance has not previously
provided to GTx under the Orion Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that unless Ipsen shall file its
Election for the PIN Indication (as such terms are defined in the Sublicense Agreement) within the
time period set forth in the Sublicense Agreement, GTx may again assume all rights and obligations
in and to the 20 mg Toremifene tablet for the PIN Indication, and this Partial Assignment shall
become null and void as to Ipsen with regards to the supply of the 20mg Toremifene tablet.
5. Ipsens Obligations Under the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms. With effect
as from the Effective Date, Ipsen agrees to assume, perform and be obligated with respect to all of
the rights and obligations under the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms within the European Territory.
6. Confidentiality. Confidentiality and non-use obligations between Orion
and GTx are specified in the Orion Agreement, between Gtx and Ipsen in the Sublicense Agreement and
between Orion and Ipsen in Appendix 1 of this Assigned Supply Agreement. Orion, GTx and Ipsen
understand and agree that relating to this Partial Assignment the Parties may need to exchange
information which is confidential and/or proprietary to a Party, including without limitation the
terms and conditions of the Partial Assignment. Such confidential information so disclosed shall be
disclosed under and subject to the terms and conditions of the aforementioned agreements and shall
be kept secret and confidential as defined in those agreements.
7. Reservation of Rights in the GTx Territory. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary set forth herein, GTx reserves all rights under the Orion Agreement with respect to
ordering, supply, and payment of Orion Product for sale by or on behalf of GTx of Product in the

8. Consent and Partial Assignment; Release of GTx. Subject to Article 3(d)
of this Partial Assignment, Orion hereby consents to the foregoing Partial Assignment and releases
GTx from any obligations under the Orion Agreement in respect of the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms as
from the Effective Date.
9. Effect on Orion Agreement. Except as expressly modified hereby, the
Orion Agreement shall remain in full force and effect between GTx and Orion, and nothing in this
Partial Assignment is intended to impair or alter any other rights, obligations, or remedies of GTx
and/or Orion, respectively, under the Orion Agreement. Any future amendments or waivers under the
Orion Agreement that pertain to the Assigned Ipsen Supply Terms shall require the written
agreement of Ipsen, and Orion provided that no amendment or waiver shall adversely affect any
rights of GTx under the Orion Agreement without having first obtained GTxs prior written consent.
Ipsen agrees to provide GTx with prompt written notice of any amendment or waiver of the Orion
Agreement entered into between Ipsen and Orion which do not otherwise require GTxs prior written
consent, as set forth in the preceding sentence. Orion and GTx agree that Ipsen shall have no
liability or responsibility for any acts, omissions or failures of performance by Orion and GTx
under the Orion Agreement.
10. Term of the Assigned Supply Agreement.
(a) Term of the Assigned Supply Agreement. The Assigned Supply Agreement shall enter into
force on the Effective Date and shall expire on a country by country basis until the later of (a)
the date of expiration or invalidation of the last to expire or to be invalidated of the GTx Patent
Rights (as defined in the Orion Agreement) or (b) the expiration or termination of the last to
expire of the marketing or regulatory exclusivity granted by the European Medicines Agency or other
equivalent regulatory authority for the Product (as defined in the Orion Agreement) or (c) earlier
terminated in accordance with this Section. The Assigned Supply Agreement may be terminated as
follows:

(ii) Under the terms and conditions set forth in Section 16.1 of the Orion Agreement, as
amended and assigned to Ipsen pursuant to Appendix 1 of this Agreement;

(v) In case of termination of the Orion Agreement, the Sublicense Agreement and/or the Partial
Assignment, except in the event GTx shall again acquire rights to the Orion Products, as stated in

the Orion Products to be developed and commercialized by GTx within the European Territory.

in the Bundled Product when sold separately in finished form in such country, in each case during
the applicable Net Sales reporting period.
In the event the Licensed Product is sold as part of a Bundled Product and is sold separately in
finished form in such country, but the other product(s) included in the Bundled Product are not
sold separately in finished form in such country, the Net Sales of the Licensed Product, for the
purposes of determining payments based on Net Sales, shall be determined by multiplying the Net
Sales of the Bundled Product in such country by the fraction C/D where:
C is the average sale price, in such country, of the Licensed Product contained in such Bundled
Product when sold separately and D is the average sale price, in such country, for the Bundled
Product, in each case during the applicable Net Sales reporting period.

(b) Generic Competition. If a Generic is sold in any Major Country of the European Territory
and for two (2) succeeding calendar quarters the sales of such Generic in that country equal or
exceed [ * ] of the Net Sales of Licensed Products (calculated on a unit basis) in that country
by Ipsen, its Affiliates or sublicensees, then the Royalty Payments shall be reduced to [ * ] of
the amount of the Royalty Payment otherwise due to GTx on account of Net Sales of such Licensed
Product for the ADT Indication or [ * ] of the amount of the Royalty Payment otherwise due to GTx
on account of Net Sales of such Licensed Product for the PIN Indication in such country with such
reduction to be applicable to the immediately succeeding calendar quarters only.
(c) Dominating Patents. If (i) Ipsen would be prevented from developing, using, selling, or
importing the Licensed Products in any country of the European Territory on the grounds that by
doing so they would infringe one (or more) Dominating Patent held by a Third Party in said country
and (ii) Ipsen licenses rights to such Dominating Patent in said country, then [ * ] of any
royalties on Licensed Products sales paid by Ipsen to such Third Party in any calendar year in such
country with respect to such Dominating Patent shall be deducted from any Royalty Payments payable
to GTx by Ipsen in such calendar year (the Royalty Reduction), provided, however,
that (i) such Dominating Patent relates solely to [ * ] and (ii) GTx has been informed of the
Dominating Patent and has had an opportunity to provide input on any related discussion of whether
to license such Dominating Patent and negotiation of royalty rates; and (iii) subject to the
warranties and representations made by GTx under Section 10.1 (b) of this Agreement, the amount of
the Royalty Reduction in any calendar year shall not exceed [ * ] of the Royalty Payments (the
Royalty Reduction Cap) that would have otherwise been payable by Ipsen to GTx for such calendar

sublicensee to account for and report its Net Sales of Licensed Product on the same basis as if
such sales were Net Sales by Ipsen, and Ipsen shall pay royalties to GTx as if such sales by such
sublicensees were the Net Sales of Ipsen, subject to the provisions of this Article III.
3.6 Relief From Certain Marketing Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, in the event that Ipsens COGS of a particular Licensed Product for a particular country
exceeds [ * ] of the Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country:
(a) Ipsen shall promptly provide notice to GTx of its belief that the COGS of a particular
Licensed Product has exceeded or will exceed [ * ] of Net Sales in such country. Ipsen shall
include with any such notice a calculation of such percentage and appropriate documentation and
records supporting its calculation of COGS and Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such country.

19.
(b) The Parties will have [ * ] following GTxs receipt of such notice to discuss in good
faith whether an adjustment of the Royalty Payments under Section 3.4 of this Agreement is
appropriate so that COGS for such Licensed Product do not exceed [ * ] of Net Sales of such
Licensed Product in such country or whether other circumstances exist that may warrant Ipsen
continuing to sell such Licensed Product in the country in question. In the event the Parties fail
to reach an agreement on any such adjustment, Ipsen shall not have to commercialize the Licensed
Products in such country as long as Ipsen reasonably believes circumstances have not sufficiently

Payment due for such quarter and submit to GTx a report, on a country by country basis, providing
in reasonable detail an accounting of all Net Sales (including an accounting of all unit sales of
Initial Products on a per dose and per Indication basis) made during such calendar quarter, and the
calculation prepared by Ipsen to determine the applicable Royalty Payment due for such quarter
pursuant to this Article III. Within [ * ] after the end of each calendar year for which Royalty
Payments are payable by Ipsen to GTx, Ipsen shall provide to GTx a report, on a country by country
basis, reconciling the number of Initial Products sold on a per dose and a per Indication basis to
the number of Initial Products consumed per Indication. In the event any payment due to GTx,
including the Royalty Payments due hereunder, are late by more than [ * ], GTx shall have the
right to assess interest on the amounts which are then past due and owing to GTx at a rate of
interest equal to the prime rate [ * ].
3.8 Royalty Term. Royalties shall be payable [ * ] (hereinafter, the Royalty Term). In
the event that: (i) a Product Improvement is either jointly developed pursuant to Section 4.3(b) of

assessment or other claim for any additional amount of Tax assessed by the US. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Section 3.11, GTx may, at its own expense, protest any assessment, proposed
assessment, or other claim by any governmental authority for any additional amount of Tax or seek a
refund of such amounts paid if permitted to do so by law or if the payment of such amounts are its
ultimate contractual responsibility under the terms of this Agreement. Ipsen shall cooperate with
GTx in any protest by providing records, giving testimony and providing such additional information
or assistance as may reasonably be necessary to pursue such protest.
3.12 Currency. Except as specified in the last sentence of this Section, all amounts
specified in this Agreement which are to be paid to GTx are to be in Euros, as set forth in Section

ARTICLE IV
DEVELOPMENT AND REGISTRATION
4.1 Development Responsibilities. As a general principle, GTx will be solely responsible for
the development of Licensed Products in the GTx Territory and for any communication with Regulatory
Agencies in the GTx Territory, and Ipsen will be solely responsible for the development of Licensed
Products in the European Territory and for any communication with Regulatory Agencies in the
European Territory. Neither Party will undertake to conduct any development activities for Licensed
Products in the territory of the other Party without first submitting the proposed development
activities to the JDC and receiving the approval of the other Party which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.
4.2 Initial Development.
(a) Initial Development Plan.
(i) GTx Initial Development. The Initial Development of the Initial Products for the ADT
Indication and the PIN Indication in the GTx Territory shall be carried out by GTx pursuant to a
development plan (the GTx Initial Development Plan) and a development budget (the GTx Initial
Development Budget), both of which are attached as Exhibit E of this Agreement. The GTx Initial
Development Budget comprises the Initial Development Expenses incurred by GTx as from [ * ]
through [ * ] and the forecasted Initial Development Expenses as from [ * ] and until the
obtaining of the Regulatory Approval for the Initial Products in the GTx Territory, differentiated
between (i) Initial Development Expenses incurred/forecasted for the Development of the ADT
Indication and the Initial Development of the PIN Indication and (ii) Joint Initial Development
Expenses and other Initial Development Expenses. In the event that there are Joint Initial
Development Expenses that are not clearly dedicated to the Initial Development of either ADT
Indication or PIN Indication, the sum of such Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be allocated
equally as the Initial Development of ADT Indication and PIN Indication. For each calendar year
subsequent to 2006, a revised GTx Initial Development Plan and a revised GTx Initial Development
Budget will be prepared by GTx and submitted for approval to the JDC before [ * ] of each
calendar year, provided, however that any revision of the GTx Initial Development Plan and GTx
Initial Development Budget shall not result in an increase of [ * ] of Joint Development Expenses
per year, except as otherwise agreed by Ipsen.
(ii) Ipsen Initial Development. The Initial Development of the Initial Products for the
obtaining of the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication in the European Territory shall be carried
out by Ipsen pursuant to a development plan for the remainder of 2006 and 2007 (the Ipsen Initial
Development Plan). The Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be submitted by Ipsen to the JDC within
[ * ] as from the Effective Date. For each calendar year
subsequent to 2007, a revised Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be prepared by Ipsen and
submitted for information to the JDC before [ * ] of each calendar year.
(b) Content of Initial Development Plan. Each Initial Development Plan

shall describe the
proposed overall program of all the Initial Development of a Party in its respective territory,
including, but not limited to, Pre-Clinical Studies, toxicology, formulation, chemical process
development, Clinical Studies, regulatory plans and other elements of obtaining Regulatory
Approval, and projected timelines for the Initial Development events. Each Initial Development
Plan for either GTx Initial Development or Ipsen Initial Development will identify endpoints needed
for initiation of the next phase of the Initial Development. Both GTx Initial Development Plan and
Ipsen Initial Development Plan will be submitted for comments by GTx to Orion and GTx shall inform
Ipsen of all comments made by Orion on the Initial Development Plans. Ipsen agrees to change and/or
amend the Ipsen Initial Development Plan to the extent such Ipsen Initial Development Plan could
reasonably be deemed to affect adversely Orions development, commercialization, sales or
registration of Fareston by Orion.
(c) Initial Development Efforts. In carrying out Initial Development and its Initial
Development Plan in its respective territory, each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable
efforts to conduct the Initial Development of the Initial Products in the ADT Indication and the
PIN Indication and to conduct the activities set forth in their respective Initial Development Plan
in accordance with the timelines set forth therein. A Partys material failure to comply with such
diligence obligations shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.
(d) Drug Approval Applications. Consistent with its Initial Development Plan, GTx shall be
responsible for the filing of all Drug Approval Applications and seeking Regulatory Approvals for
Initial Products in the GTx Territory in the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication, and Ipsen shall
be responsible for the filing of Drug Approval Applications and seeking Regulatory Approvals for
Initial Products in the European Territory in the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication. If Ipsen
does not exercise the Election as set forth in Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement, GTx shall have the
right to seek Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products for the PIN Indication in the European
Territory, provided, however, that GTx shall seek such Regulatory Approval under a trademark which
is not confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks to be used for the commercialization of the
Initial Products in the ADT Indication in the European Territory. The Parties shall consult and
cooperate in the preparation of each such Drug Approval Application and in obtaining Regulatory
Approvals. GTx shall solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals for the
GTx Territory and Ipsen shall solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals
for the European Territory. In the event that Ipsen does not exercise its Election, GTx shall
solely own all Drug Approval Applications and Regulatory Approvals for Licensed Products for the
PIN Indication in the European Territory.
(e) Ipsens Election to Retain License Rights to Licensed Products for the PIN Indication.
(i) Exercise of Election. Ipsen shall have the option, at its sole discretion, to
retain its license rights under Article V in connection with Licensed Products for
the PIN Indication, by notifying such election to GTx at any time after the Effective Date and
until [ * ] following receipt of the first Regulatory Approval in [ * ] (the Election).

23.
(ii) Failure to Exercise Election. In the event Ipsen does not make the Election
within the period set forth in Section 4.2(e)(i) above or fails to make the payments required under
Section 4.2(e)(iii) below, then GTx shall have the right to terminate Ipsens license and
associated rights to Licensed Products for the PIN Indication, and thereafter GTx shall have the
exclusive right to commercialize the Licensed Product in the European Territory for the PIN
Indication, provided however that such commercialization shall be made under a trademark which
shall not be confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks to be used for the commercialization of
the Initial Products in the ADT Indication. Upon termination of such rights:
(1) Ipsen shall grant to GTx an exclusive, royalty-free license under any Ipsen Inventions
which would directly result from the conduct of the Ipsen Initial Development activities for the
PIN Indication to Develop, use, sell, have sold, offer for sale, import, export, and distribute the
Licensed Product for the PIN Indication in the European Territory;
(2) Within [ * ] of such termination, Ipsen shall transfer to GTx all data from Preclinical
Studies and Clinical Studies and other related Information as Ipsen may then Control pertaining to
such Licensed Product for the treatment of the PIN Indication, including any IND or similar
Regulatory Agency documents Ipsen may then Control for the purposes of conducting Clinical Studies
within the European Territory for the PIN Indication;
(3) Ipsen shall use commercial reasonable efforts to transfer to GTx all Regulatory Approvals
relating to the Licensed Product in the PIN Indication obtained in the European Territory; and
(4) Ipsen shall cease all on-going Initial Development of the Licensed Product in the PIN
Indication in the European Territory and shall not be obligated to make any payment pursuant to
Section 4.2(e)(iii) below.
(iii) Election Fee and Payment of Past Initial Development Expenses. In the event Ipsen makes
such Election, Joint PIN Indication Development Expenses (as defined in Section 4.2(f)(iii)(2) of
this Agreement) shall be considered part of Joint Initial Development Expenses, and Ipsen will be
required to make the following payments : (i) within [ * ] as from the date of Election, the
Election Fee (as provided for in the chart below), (ii) within [ * ] as from the date of
Election, the reimbursement of the Joint PIN Initial Development Expenses which shall have accrued
from the date at which the aggregate Joint Initial Development Expenses (now inclusive of Joint PIN
Initial Development Expenses) incurred by GTx exceeded [ * ] in the aggregate and until the date
of Election (such costs during such period, the Past Initial Development Expenses) with a premium
as shown in the chart below and (iii) the payment of the Joint PIN Development Expenses as provided
for in Section 4.2(f)(iii)(2) of this Agreement.

(i) Initial Development Expenses Solely Borne by Ipsen. Ipsen shall be solely responsible for
paying all Initial Development Expenses that are not Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to
the obtaining of Regulatory Approvals in the European Territory for the Initial Products for the
ADT Indication and the PIN Indication (subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(e)(ii) of this
Agreement), which shall include the costs for any additional Pre-Clinical Studies and Clinical
Studies required exclusively by the EMEA or other Regulatory Agencies to grant Regulatory Approvals
for Initial Products within the European Territory.
(ii) Initial Development Expenses Solely Borne by GTx. GTx shall be solely responsible for
paying all Initial Development Expenses that are not Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to
the obtaining of Regulatory Approvals for the Initial Products in the GTx Territory, including the
Initial Products for the ADT Indication and the PIN Indication (subject to the provisions of
Section 4.2(e)(ii) of this Agreement ), which shall include the costs for any additional
Pre-Clinical Studies and Clinical Studies required exclusively by the FDA or other Regulatory
Agencies to grant Regulatory Approvals for the Initial Products within the GTx Territory.
(iii) Joint Initial Development Expenses. GTx shall bear the [ * ] of Joint Initial
Development Expenses. Thereafter, Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be allocated between
GTx and Ipsen as follows: [ * ] of Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be paid by GTx, and [
* ] of Joint Initial Development Expenses shall be paid by Ipsen as set forth below.
(1) Joint Initial Development Expenses for the Initial Products in the ADT Indication. At such
time as Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred by GTx exceed [ * ], GTx shall invoice Ipsen
on a quarterly basis for [ * ] of the Joint Initial Development Expenses relating to the Initial
Development of the Initial Products for the treatment of the ADT Indication (such Initial
Development Expenses referred to as the Joint ADT Initial Development Expenses). Ipsen shall
reimburse GTx for such costs within [ * ] of its receipt of such invoice.
(2) Joint Initial Development Expenses for Initial Products in the PIN Indication. Ipsen
shall not be responsible for paying any Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred in relation to
the Initial Development of the Initial Products for the treatment of the PIN Indication (Joint PIN
Initial Development Expenses), unless and until such time as Ipsen exercises its Election as set

26.
such expenditures with the relevant provisions of the GTx Initial Development Budget. Within [
* ] of the end of 2006, and each calendar year thereafter, GTx shall provide to Ipsen an
accounting report of the actual Joint Initial Development Expenses incurred during the previous
calendar year including without limitation all detailed GTx FTE Costs as well as all invoiced
external costs. In the event Ipsen has overpaid or underpaid any amount in excess of its [ * ]
share in the Joint Initial Development Expenses as set forth in this report, GTx and Ipsen agree to
reimburse one another such amounts as are appropriate within [ * ] from the date of receipt by
Ipsen of this report. GTx agrees to maintain appropriate and accurate records of all Joint Initial
Development Expenses incurred by it.
(iv) Audits. Upon the written request of Ipsen (which shall be no more than [ * ]), GTx and
Ipsen shall agree on a mutually acceptable date on which to permit an independent certified public
accounting firm of an internationally recognized standing [ * ] to have access during normal
business hours to such of the records of GTx as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy
of the reports and to audit the records as provided for in Section 4.2(f)(iii) of this Agreement.
The accounting firm shall disclose to GTx and Ipsen whether the reports/records are correct or
incorrect, the specific details concerning any discrepancies and such other information that should
properly be contained in an accounting report required under this Section. If such accounting firm
concludes that additional amounts relating to Ipsens share in Joint Initial Development Expenses
were owed, Ipsen shall pay such additional amounts within [ * ] of the date Ipsen delivers to GTx
such accounting firms written report so concluding. In the event such accounting firm concludes
that amounts relating to Ipsens share in Joint Initial Development Expenses were overpaid by
Ipsen, GTx shall repay Ipsen the amount of such overpayment within [ * ] of the date Ipsen
delivers to GTx such accounting firms written report so concluding. The fees charged by such
accounting firm shall be paid by Ipsen; provided, however, if the audit reveals
that Ipsen has overpaid by more than [ * ] Ipsens share of Joint Initial Development Expenses
due hereunder for the period being reviewed, then the fees and expenses of the accounting firm for
the audit shall be paid by GTx. Upon the expiry of [ * ] following the end of any calendar year
for which Ipsen has made payment of Joint Development Expenses with respect to such calendar year,
and in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct of GTx or a contrary finding by an
accounting firm pursuant to this Section, such calculation shall be binding and conclusive upon the
Parties, and GTx shall be released from any liability or accountability with respect to any over
payment by Ipsen for Joint Development Expenses for such calendar year.
(g) Inventions under the Initial Development and license grant.
In the event any Party makes an Invention during the course of the conduct of the Initial
Development, any such Invention shall be considered as a Joint Invention.

27.
(a) Subsequent Development Proposals.
Each Party acknowledges that no development of a GTx Product Improvement or an Ipsen Product
Improvement shall be made without first having been proposed to the other Party in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 4.3.
The Party (the Proposing Party) intending to conduct the development of respectively an
Ipsen Product Improvement or a GTx Product Improvement (the Subsequent Development) shall notify
the JDC of such intent and shall provide to JDC all necessary information relating to the concerned
Product Improvement and the related Subsequent Development in order to enable the other Party to
reasonably assess the scientific, technical and commercial implications of the proposed Subsequent
Development. Within [ * ] from receipt of all such information, the other Party shall notify the
Proposing Party its decision or not to participate in the Subsequent Development.
In the event the other Party decides not to participate in the Subsequent Development, the
Proposing Party shall be free to conduct the Subsequent Development at its own cost and expenses
(the Sole Subsequent Development) subject to the other Partys right to decide at a later stage
to opt-in in such Subsequent Development in accordance to Section 4.3(c).
In the event the other Party decides to participate to the Subsequent Development, the Parties
shall jointly perform and fund such Subsequent Development (the Joint Subsequent Development) as
set forth in Section 4.3(b) of this Agreement.
(b) Joint Subsequent Development
(i) Joint Subsequent Development Plan and Budget.
Following the other Partys notification to join in the Subsequent Development, the Parties
working through the JDC shall agree upon a plan and a budget for the conduct of the Joint
Subsequent Development (respectively, the Joint Subsequent Development Plan and the Joint
Subsequent Development Budget) which shall include at least the following items:
(A) research and development activities to be performed by each Party for the purpose of
obtaining Regulatory Approval for the Product Improvement in each Partys respective territory;
(B) specific tasks, location of work, milestones, estimated timelines, immediate objectives
and long term objectives;
(C) the global budget for the Joint Subsequent Development and the estimated budget for the
development activities of each Party under the Joint Subsequent Development Plan. The costs of the
development activities of the Parties (the Joint Subsequent Development Costs) will be determined
in accordance with Section 4.3(b)(ii) of this Agreement.

28.
Once agreed by the Parties within the JDC, each Party undertake to use its reasonable
commercial efforts to conduct its development activities under the Joint Subsequent Development
Plan. The Joint Subsequent Development Plan and the Joint Subsequent Development Budget shall be
updated annually by the JDC at a time decided by the JDC and suitable for both Parties planning
and budgeting processes, provided however that any update or amendment of the Joint Subsequent
Development Plan and the Joint Subsequent Development Budget shall be approved by both Parties
within the JDC.
(ii) Determination of Subsequent Development Costs
All research and development activities conducted by the Parties under the Joint Subsequent
Development Plan shall be valued as follows:
(A) internal costs: [ * ];
(B) external costs: [ * ].
In the event the Parties reasonably agree that there is a need to enter into an agreement with
a Third Party having intellectual property rights which would be infringed by the development and
commercialization of the Product Improvement which is the subject matter of the Joint Subsequent
Development (the Third Party License), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to negotiate and
enter into the Third Party License. Any payments to be made to this Third Party under the Third
Party License during the Joint Subsequent Development shall be included in the Joint Subsequent
Development Budget as Joint Subsequent Development Costs.
(iii) Funding of Joint Subsequent Development
All activities undertaken by the Parties pursuant to the Joint Subsequent Development Plan
shall be funded by the Parties in the following proportion : Ipsen shall be responsible for [ * ]
of all Joint Subsequent Development Costs and GTx shall be responsible for [ * ] of all Joint
Subsequent Development Costs, only to the extent the foregoing Joint Subsequent Development Costs
are set forth in the Joint Subsequent Development Budget or revisions thereof. Within [ * ] of
the end of each calendar quarter, each Party will notify the JDC in writing of the Joint Subsequent
Development Costs incurred by such Party during such calendar quarter, and the JDC shall aggregate
such Joint Subsequent Development Costs and allocate them to the Parties in accordance with the
percentages set forth in the foregoing sentence. Where needed in order to reflect such allocated
Joint Subsequent Development Costs, corresponding true up payments will be made by the Party
underpaying its share of Joint Subsequent Development Costs to the Party having overpaid its share,
quarterly within [ * ] following the end of each calendar quarter.
(iv) Disagreement and Opt-out of the Joint Subsequent Development
In case of failure of the Parties within the JDC to agree upon the Joint Subsequent
Development Plan, the Joint Subsequent Development Budget and any

29.
revisions thereof or the terms and conditions of a Third Party License, such disagreement
shall be referred to the Executive Officers. In case the Executive Officers fail to reach an
agreement within [ * ] as from the date such matter was referred to them, then each Party shall
have the right to opt-out of the Joint Subsequent Development, subject to a [ * ] notice period.
The decision to opt-out shall be notified to the JDC. The Party exercising this opt-out right
(the Opt-Out Party) shall continue all development activities under the Joint Subsequent
Development Plan during the [ * ] notice period, fund the Joint Subsequent Development in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3(b)(iii) of this Agreement during such period and
enable the other Party to take over, if the other Party wishes to, such development activities to
avoid any disruption of the Joint Subsequent Development.
The Opt-Out Party shall grant to the other Party an exclusive royalty-free license under the
Opt-Out Partys interest in any Joint Inventions for the sole purpose of the development of the
Product Improvement in the other Partys territory.
After the expiry of the [ * ] notice period, in the event the other Party decides to
continue the development of the Product Improvement at its own cost and expenses, such development
shall be considered as a Sole Subsequent Development and the provisions of Section 4.3(c) shall
apply including the right for the Opt-Out Party to Opt-In under the terms and conditions of this
Section.
(v) Inventions under the Joint Subsequent Development
All Inventions made by the Parties during the course of, or in furtherance of, and as direct
result of the development activities of the Parties in the Joint Subsequent Development shall be
deemed Joint Inventions. For the avoidance of doubt, any Ipsen Invention and GTx Invention which
does not directly result from the development activities under the Joint Subsequent Development
shall be or remain owned by Ipsen or GTx, as the case may be.
(vi) Commercialization of the Product Improvement developed under a Joint Subsequent
Development

In such event of Opt-in, the Non-Developing Party shall notify its exercise of its right to
Opt-in in writing to the JDC (the Opt-in Notification).
(2) Extension of the Opt-in Period. In the event a Developing Party is required to supply
additional information pursuant to Section 4.3(c)(ii)(4) above and there are
fewer than [ * ] remaining in the relevant Opt-in Period, such Opt-in Period shall be
extended to
32.
such date that is [ * ] after the provision of such additional information. The
Non-Developing Party may, at its sole discretion, notify the Developing Party in writing before the
expiration of its rights set forth herein, that it waives such rights and such Opt-in rights shall

(C) Disputes. The Opt-in Party may audit Pre Opt-in Development Costs submitted by the
Developing Party pursuant to this Agreement or may appoint internationally-recognized professional
accountants to do so. In the event that the Opt-in Party reasonably disputes specific items
contained in the Developing Partys calculation of Pre Opt-in Development Costs, the Opt-in Party
shall pay the amounts not in dispute or in question and such disputed or questioned amounts shall
be submitted to the JDC which shall promptly meet or confer to resolve such disputes or questions.
Within [ * ] following resolution of such matters, one Party shall pay or reimburse to the other
Party the appropriate remaining balance. In the event the JDC is not able to resolve a dispute
concerning the Opt-in Payment under this Section, the dispute shall be referred to the Executive

(a) Timing of Launch. Ipsen shall use commercially reasonable efforts to launch the Licensed
Product in any Indication [ * ] in every Major Country of the European Territory and other
countries within the European Territory where Ipsen, its Affiliates and/or sublicensees have
obtained Regulatory Approval and Pricing and Reimbursement Approval for the Licensed Product in
such Indication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ipsen, its Affiliate or a sublicensee may, acting
in good faith in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, determine either to delay the
launch of the Licensed Product for use in a given Indication or not to launch the Licensed Product
for use in a given Indication in any given country in the European Territory other than a Major
Country, which decision to delay or not to launch shall not be deemed a failure to use commercially
reasonable efforts. Further, Ipsens, its Affiliates or a sublicensees decision to delay the
launch of the Licensed Product for use in a given Indication in any Major Country for up to [ * ]
after Ipsen or its Affiliates shall have obtained Regulatory Approval and Pricing and Reimbursement
Approval in such country, will not be deemed a failure to use commercially reasonable efforts

to bona fide business reasons affecting the Licensed Product.
(b) Decisions Not to Launch. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.6 of this Agreement,
Ipsen shall promptly notify GTx in writing if Ipsen, its Affiliate or a sublicensee, as applicable,
determines to delay the launch of the Licensed Product for use in a given Indication in any Major
Country after obtaining Regulatory Approval and Pricing and Reimbursement Approval of Licensed
Product therefor. If such decision is due to any reasons other than the potential for, or the
existence of, adverse business effects in such Major Country, or under the conditions set forth in
Section 3.6 of this Agreement, then such decision shall be deemed a material breach of this
Agreement.
6.9 Commercialization in European Territory. Ipsen shall set all prices for all Licensed
Product within the European Territory, shall obtain Pricing and Reimbursement Approvals for
Licensed Product as may be required, shall be responsible for distribution of each Licensed Product

marketing activities, such as by participating in global marketing programs, providing medical
liaison support or other Licensed Product specialty support, the Parties shall discuss the proposed
activities. If the Party being requested to participate or provide services agrees in writing to
participate or conduct such activities, the Marketing and Sales Plan shall be revised to reflect
such activities and the Party making the request shall reimburse the other Party on an FTE Cost
plus out-of-pocket cost basis for such support, provided however that in the case such marketing
activities shall benefit both Parties, each Party shall be responsible for paying its own costs and
expense.

each Party (the Publishing Party) shall provide to the other Party (the Reviewing Party) the
opportunity to review any proposed scientific/technical publications or scientific presentations
which relate to Toremifene and/or Licensed Product as early as reasonably practical, but at least [
* ] prior to the intended submission for publication (except with the written consent of the
Reviewing Party). The Reviewing Party will provide the Publishing Party with its response to its
request to publish within [ * ] of receipt of such request. In the event that the Reviewing
Party identifies any Confidential Information of the Reviewing Party contained within or referenced
in such publication and the Reviewing Party requests the Publishing Party to remove such
Confidential Information, the Publishing Party shall comply with such request. No publication
shall be made by the Publishing Party without the written agreement of or approval from the
Reviewing Party. However, the failure of the Reviewing Party to respond to such request within such
[ * ] period shall be deemed to be approval of such request and the Publishing Party shall then
be free to proceed with said publication or presentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
publications regarding Commercialization activities or that are reasonably needed to effectively
Commercialize a Licensed Product may be made by the Publishing Party even if the Reviewing Party
does not approve, provided that the Reviewing Party may request a reasonable delay on such
publication to seek patent protection on any patentable inventions disclosed therein.
8.5 Public Disclosures. Subject to the further provisions of this Article VIII, each Party
shall not originate any written publicity, news release or public announcement, whether to the
public or press, concerning this Agreement, including the subject matter to which it relates,
performance under it or any of its terms, or any amendment hereto, without first obtaining the
other Partys prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided
that in the event the Parties shall have previously approved the form of a press release or other
publicly disseminated disclosure, either Party shall be free to disclose publicly substantially the
same information in subsequent public releases without having to obtain other Partys consent
thereto. Additionally, the Parties acknowledge that as public companies certain information is
required by law to be filed by the Parties with certain agencies or authorities. In connection
herewith, Ipsen acknowledges that GTx will have to file the Agreement with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) as a material agreement of GTx, but GTx shall do so under a request
for confidential treatment which shall be submitted to Ipsen for its approval (not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to submission. Once information is disclosed to the SEC,
any similar information which is not subject to confidential treatment may be disclosed by GTx in
subsequent public filings or in public disclosures without having to first obtain Ipsens prior
written approval.
ARTICLE IX

42.
licenses granted to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. The law of joint ownership of
inventions of the United States shall apply to any joint ownership of Patents claiming joint
inventions of the Parties.
9.2 Invention Disclosures. Each Party shall promptly provide to the other Party any Invention
disclosure submitted in the normal course of its operations and disclosing an Invention arising
during the course of and pursuant to this Agreement.
9.3 Disclosure of Provisional and Non-Provisional Patent Applications. Each Party shall
provide to the other, within a reasonable time prior to filing, a copy of each non-provisional
patent application proposed to be filed by such Party disclosing an Invention arising during the
course of and pursuant to this Agreement and each Party shall provide to the other, immediately
after filing, a copy of each provisional patent application actually filed by such Party disclosing
an Invention. The contents of any patent application submitted to either Party pursuant to this
Section 9.3 covering an Invention solely owned by such Party shall be deemed the Confidential
Information of the Party providing such application.
9.4 Patent Filings.
(a) Ipsen Patent, GTx Patent and Joint Patent Filings. Each Party, at its sole discretion,
responsibility, and cost shall prepare, file, prosecute and maintain its own Patents. GTx shall
file, prosecute and maintain Patents to cover Joint Inventions. Ipsen and GTx shall pay fifty
percent (50%) of all costs associated with the preparation, prosecution and maintenance of Joint
Patents unless the Parties otherwise agree. The determination of the countries in which to file
Joint Patents shall be made jointly by the Parties. GTx shall have the right to direct and control
all material actions relating to the prosecution or maintenance of Joint Patents, subject to
Ipsens ability to comment on such filings and GTxs reasonable consideration of such comments.
GTx shall provide prior written notice to Ipsen of the countries in which it intends to file,
including conflict proceedings, reexaminations, reissuance, oppositions and revocation proceedings,
provided, however, that Ipsen shall have the right to file or continue prosecution in countries in
which GTx determines it wishes to abandon or not file such Joint Patent.
(b) Ipsen and GTx Patent Strategy. GTx shall keep Ipsen apprised of the status of each Joint
Patent for which it is responsible and shall seek the advice of Ipsen with respect to patent
strategy and drafting applications and shall give reasonable consideration to any suggestions or
recommendations concerning the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense thereof.
The Parties shall cooperate reasonably in the prosecution of all Joint Patents and other GTx
Patents covering Licensed Products and shall share all material information relating thereto,
including all material communications from patent offices, promptly after receipt of such
information. If the Parties are unable to agree as to any aspect of patent prosecution of a Joint
Patent or a Patent covering a Licensed Product, each Party at its expense shall be free to take
whatever action it deems appropriate to protect the Joint Invention or Licensed Product, including
the filing of patent applications subject to prior notification of the other Party. If, during the
term of this Agreement, the filing Party intends to allow any Patent covering a Licensed Product to
which the Party has license rights under this Agreement to lapse

or become abandoned without having first filed a substitute, the filing Party shall, whenever
practicable, notify the other Party of such intention at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to
the date upon which such Patent shall lapse or become abandoned, and the other Party shall
thereupon have the right, but not the obligation, to assume responsibility for the prosecution,
maintenance and defense thereof and all expenses related thereto.
(c) Diligence in Patent Filings. The Parties agree to use reasonable efforts to ensure that
any Patent filed outside of the United States prior to a filing in the United States will be in a
form sufficient to establish the date of original filing as a priority date for the purposes of a
subsequent filing in the United States.
(d) Cooperation by Ipsen and GTx in Patent and Regulatory Filings. The Parties shall
cooperate in order to avoid loss of any rights that may otherwise be available to the Parties under
the U.S. Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984, the Supplementary
Certificate of Protection of the Member States of the European Union and other similar measures in
any other country. Without limiting the foregoing, GTx shall notify Ipsen upon receipt of
Regulatory Approval to market a Licensed Product in the United States, and Ipsen shall notify GTx
upon receipt of Regulatory Approval to market a Licensed Product in the EU. Both Parties agree to
timely file such applications as they feel are appropriate or required to extend the patent term of
the GTx Patents pertaining to Licensed Product. The obligations set forth in this Section shall
apply with respect to patent term extensions, or the equivalent, in any other country. Any
application for patent term extension of the GTx Patents in the United States shall be made by GTx.
9.5 Third Party Patent Rights. Except as expressly provided in Section 10.1 of this
Agreement, neither Party makes any warranty with respect to the validity, perfection or dominance
of any Patent or other proprietary right or with respect to the absence of rights in Third Parties
which may be infringed by the manufacture or sale of any Licensed Product. Each Party agrees to
bring to the attention of the other Party any Patent or Patent application it discovers, or has
discovered, and which relates Toremifene or any Licensed Product.
9.6 Enforcement Rights.
(a) Notification of Infringement. If either Party learns of any infringement or threatened
infringement by a Third Party of a GTx Patent or a Joint Patent, such Party shall promptly notify
the other Party and shall provide such other Party with all available evidence of such
infringement.
(b) Enforcement. GTx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to institute, prosecute
and control at its own expense any action or proceeding with respect to infringement by any Third
Party of any GTx Patents (including Joint Patents) covering the manufacture, use, importation,
exportation, sale or offer for sale of Licensed Product by reason of the manufacture, use or sale
of products competitive with Licensed Product, using counsel of its own choice. Ipsen shall have
the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.
If GTx fails to bring such an action or proceeding or otherwise take appropriate action to abate
such infringement within a period of one hundred

44.
eighty (180) calendar days of notice by Ipsen to GTx requesting action, Ipsen will have the
right but not the obligation to bring and control, at its expense, any such action or proceeding
relating to GTx Patents by counsel of its own choice and GTx will have the right to be represented
in any such action by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense.
(c) Settlement with a Third Party. The Party that controls the prosecution of a given action
shall also have the right to control settlement of such action; provided, however, that if one
Party controls such action, no settlement shall be entered into without the written consent of the
other Party if such settlement would materially and adversely affect the interests of such other
Party. If the other Party shall refuse to grant such consent, then the dispute will be resolved
pursuant to Article XIV.
(d) Damage Award or Settlement Payments. Any damage award or settlement payments made to
either or both of GTx or Ipsen in connection with any such action relating to infringement of a GTx
Patent or a Joint Patent, whether obtained by judgment, settlement or otherwise shall be allocated,
(i) first, to the Party which initiated and prosecuted the action to recoup all of its costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the action, (ii) second, to the other Party, to recover all of
its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the action, and [ * ].
(e) Defense and Settlement of Third Party Claims. If a Third Party asserts that a patent,
trademark or other intangible right owned by it is infringed by the manufacture, use, or sale of
any Licensed Product, GTx shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to defend the Parties
against any claim by a Third Party that the development, use, sale, offer for sale, export or
import of Licensed Product in the European Territory infringes Third Party intellectual property
rights but no settlement may be entered into without the written consent of Ipsen if such
settlement would materially and adversely affect Ipsens interests in any Licensed Product. Ipsen
shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim at its cost and expense but shall
not take any position inconsistent with GTxs position on such issues. In the event GTx chooses at
in its sole discretion not to defend such suit, Ipsen shall have the right but not the obligation
to defend such suit, provided that Ipsen shall not settle any action pursuant to this Section
without GTxs consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
9.7 Allocation of Patent Expenses. On a country-by-country basis, Patent Expenses arising
from GTx Patents shall be borne solely by GTx, Patent Expenses arising from Ipsen Patents shall be
borne solely by Ipsen and Patent Expenses arising from Joint Patents shall be borne equally by the
Parties, unless otherwise agreed.
9.8 Assignment of Joint Patents. Neither Party may assign its rights under any Joint Patent
except with the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may
assign such rights without consent to an Affiliate or other permitted assignee under this Agreement
in connection with a merger or similar reorganization or the sale of all or substantially all of
its assets.
9.9 Trademarks.

(a) The Licensed Product will be marketed in the European Territory under the Licensed
Trademark, provided, however that (i) if the Licensed Product is subject to a centralized
Regulatory Approval process with the EMEA, the Licensed Product will be marketed in the European
Territory under the Licensed Trademark if approved by the EMEA or any other trademark as determined
jointly by the Parties and approved by the EMEA and (ii) in specific countries of the European
Territory where the use of the Licensed Trademark is not permitted by law or is not appropriate
including for reasons relating to language or custom, Ipsen shall have the possibility to use a
different trademark, subject to GTxs prior written approval which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. GTx shall be responsible for securing and for maintaining registrations for
the Licensed Trademark in the European Territory and shall use reasonable commercial efforts in
that regard, provided, however, that GTx shall not be deemed to have breached this
Agreement if it is unable to obtain registration of the Licensed Trademark in every country in the
European Territory. In the event, despite its reasonable commercial efforts, GTx is unable to
obtain or maintain registrations for the Licensed Trademark in some country(ies) in the European
Territory, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith concerning the use of such other trademarks as
may be available for marketing the Licensed Product in those countries.
(b) GTx and Ipsen shall cooperate with each other and use reasonable efforts to protect the
Licensed Trademark from infringement by Third Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party
shall promptly notify the other Party of any known, threatened or suspected infringement, imitation
or unauthorized use of or unfair competition relating to the Licensed Trademark. GTx shall have
the first right to determine in its discretion whether to and to what extent to institute,
prosecute and/or defend any action or proceedings involving or affecting any rights relating to the
Licensed Trademark. Upon GTxs reasonable request, Ipsen shall cooperate with and assist GTx in any
of GTxs enforcement efforts with respect to the Licensed Trademark. GTx shall promptly inform
Ipsen if GTx elects not to take action against any actual or suspected infringement of the Licensed
Trademark, in which case, Ipsen shall then have the right, but not the obligation, to bring or
assume control of any action against the allegedly infringing third party as Ipsen determines may
be necessary, provided, however, that Ipsen shall not enter into any settlement or
compromise of any claim relating to the Licensed Trademark without the prior written consent of
GTx. In the event that Ipsen brings or assumes control of any such action, then GTx agrees to
reasonably assist Ipsen in connection therewith. In either case, the Party that initiated and
prosecuted, or maintained the defense of the action shall bear all of the costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in connection with the action and shall be entitled
to recoup those amounts in the event of recovery, by settlement or otherwise. The amount of any
recovery remaining shall be shared equally by the Parties.

12.2 Termination for Material Breach.
(a) Right to Terminate. Subject to the provisions of this Section, if either Party (the
Breaching Party) shall have committed a material breach and such material breach shall remain
uncured and shall be continuing for a period of [ * ] following receipt of notice thereof by the
other Party (the Non-Breaching Party), then, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies
that may be available, the Non-Breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement
effective upon the expiration of such thirty (30) calendar day period. Any such notice of alleged
material breach by one party (the Accusing Party) shall include a reasonably detailed description
of all relevant facts and circumstances demonstrating, supporting and/or relating to each such
alleged material breach by the other party (Accused Breaching Party).
(b) Excuse. If the Accused Breaching Party, upon written notice delivered to the Accusing
Party prior to the expiration of such [ * ] period, shall assert in good faith that any such
alleged material breach described in the Accusing Partys notice, whether in payment of moneys or
otherwise, was not a material breach, or was excused by reason of material failure of performance
by the other Party or Third Parties or by reason of Force Majeure, or shall otherwise in good faith
dispute such alleged material breach, then the Parties shall continue to perform under this
Agreement, subject to all of its terms and conditions, and the matter shall be resolved pursuant to
the provisions of Article XIV of this Agreement. In such event, the Accusing Party shall not be
entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section unless and until (i) it shall be
determined pursuant to Article XIV of this Agreement that the Accused Breaching Party has committed
a material breach and (ii) such material breach has not been cured prior to such determination
pursuant to Article XIV of this Agreement. To the extent that it is determined pursuant to a final
and non-appealable decision under Article XIV of this Agreement that the Accused Breaching Party
did commit a material breach and failed to cure the same within the period provided for in clause
(ii) above, then the Accusing Party may immediately terminate this Agreement and, in addition to
all damages determined pursuant to the provisions of Article XIV of this Agreement to be due and
owing from the Breaching Party to the Non-Breaching Party under this Agreement, the Breaching Party
shall be liable for the Non-Breaching Partys reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection
with resolving such matter pursuant to Article XV of this Agreement. If a final and non-appealable
decision is made under Article XIV of this Agreement that no material breach was committed by the
Accused Breaching Party, then the decision maker under Article XIV of this Agreement may elect to
require the Accusing Party to pay the Accused Breaching Partys attorneys fees incurred in
connection with resolving such matter if he or she determines that the Accusing Partys basis for
providing a notice of material breach to the other Party was not reasonable.
(c) Termination. If the Non-Breaching Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to the
provisions of Sections 12.2(a) and (b) of this Agreement, then the following provisions shall
apply:
(i) If the Non-Breaching Party that terminates this Agreement is Ipsen, then Ipsens license
under Section 5.2 of this Agreement shall survive, subject, however, to the rights and interests of
Orion and UTRF under the GTx Licenses. The Royalty Payments

51.
required to be paid to GTx by Ipsen under Article III of this Agreement shall survive but
shall be offset by any damages incurred by Ipsen in connection with such material breach.
(ii) If the Non-Breaching Party that terminates this Agreement is GTx, then the effects of
termination as set forth in Section 12.5 of this Agreement shall apply.
(d) Remaining Obligations. Except where expressly provided for otherwise in this Agreement,
termination of this Agreement shall not relieve the Parties hereto of any liability, including any
obligation to make payments hereunder, which accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such
termination, nor preclude any Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or
at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice any Partys right to
obtain performance of any obligation.
12.3 Termination by Ipsen. Ipsen may terminate this Agreement upon the following
circumstances :
(a) For any reason whatsoever, with [ * ] prior written notice to GTx; provided, however,
that in the event that termination is the result of a legitimate and documented concern over
Safety, termination shall be effective [ * ] after written notice to GTx; and
(b) With [ * ] prior written notice, in case of early termination of the Orion License
(except in the event of the termination of the Orion License due to Orions breach pursuant to
Section 21.2.2 of the Orion License) and/or the UTRF License (on account of the PIN Indication);
provided, however, that in the case of the termination of the Orion License (except in the event of
the termination due to Orions breach as herein provided) and/or the UTRF License (on account of
the PIN Indication), GTx shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that, upon
request from Ipsen, Orion and/or UTRF will agree to discuss with Ipsen with a view to negotiate the
terms and conditions under which Orion and/or UTRF would be willing to collaborate with regard to
