Item 1.            Business

 

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. We have developed a proprietary technology that enables us to manufacture active immunotherapy products that are designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to mount a specific and sustained response to disease. Our lead product candidate, FavId, is an active immunotherapy for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or NHL. We completed enrollment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId in patients with follicular B-cell NHL in January 2006.

 

The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 56,000 people were diagnosed with NHL in the United States in 2005, and the National Cancer Institute, or NCI, has estimated that approximately 332,000 patients suffer from this disease. Approximately 85% of NHL patients have B-cell NHL. We believe that approximately half of these patients have the slow-growing, or indolent, form of the disease. The majority of the remaining patients have a faster growing form of the disease, commonly referred to as aggressive NHL. Only half of these are cured with currently available standards of care. A number of therapies are used to treat indolent B-cell NHL, including the current standard of care, Rituxan®, which had sales in the United States of approximately $1.8 billion in 2005 for indolent B-cell NHL and other indications. Despite the benefits of current therapies, patients with indolent B-cell NHL still relapse following treatment, and the disease is considered to be incurable.

 

FavId is being developed for use following treatment with existing standards of care to extend time to disease progression, or TTP, in patients with B-cell NHL. Our Phase 3 clinical trial is designed to evaluate FavId’s ability to extend TTP in patients with follicular B-cell NHL following treatment with Rituxan. Follicular B-cell NHL is the most common form of the indolent disease. We anticipate an analysis of the secondary endpoint, response improvement, during the fourth quarter of 2006. Analysis of the primary endpoint of the trial, TTP, is expected during the second half of 2007. In January 2006 we announced that we received Fast Track designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for FavId.

 

In addition to our Phase 3 clinical trial, FavId has been evaluated in several multi-center, open-label Phase 2 clinical trials involving more than 130 patients. We presented long-term follow-up data from our Phase 2 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan therapy in patients with follicular B-cell NHL at the American Society of Hematology, or ASH, Annual Meeting in Atlanta in December 2005. These data suggest that the administration of FavId following Rituxan may improve response over Rituxan alone and extend TTP compared to historical data of Rituxan alone.

 

Researchers have been conducting clinical trials of active immunotherapies in patients with B-cell NHL for more than a decade. The results of clinical trials at the Stanford University Medical Center and the NCI suggest that active immunotherapies similar to FavId, when used following chemotherapy, may induce long-term remission and improve survival time among indolent B-cell NHL patients. Despite the promising results of these trials, we believe manufacturing limitations have hindered commercialization of these immunotherapies. We believe that our proprietary technology will enable us to manufacture FavId in a timely and cost-effective manner and will therefore allow us to offer a treatment option not currently available to physicians and patients.

 

We believe FavId may be effective in treating other types of B-cell NHL as well. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2006. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored Investigational New Drug, or IND, application in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored

clinical trial in Switzerland. Moreover, we believe our active immunotherapy expertise and proprietary manufacturing technology will enable us to develop additional product candidates for other oncology indications, such as T-cell lymphoma, and for autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis. We are currently developing a second product candidate, FAV-201, for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma and intend to file an IND and initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and immune response of FAV-201 in the first half of 2006. We have retained exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to all of our product candidates.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in January 2000.

 

The Immune System

 

The immune system is the body’s major defense against foreign pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria. The principal cells that make up the immune system are termed white blood cells. A subset of white blood cells known as lymphocytes is essential in generating an effective immune response to disease-causing agents. Lymphocytes consist primarily of B-cells and T-cells, which normally recognize and respond to antigens found within proteins derived from foreign pathogens. The B-cell receptor that recognizes an antigen is called an antibody. Once B-cells recognize antigens, they initiate a sequence of events that results in the immune system’s production of large amounts of antibodies specific to that antigen. These antibodies then circulate throughout the body and bind to their target antigen, thereby flagging pathogens for destruction. This type of immune response is known as the antibody-based, or humoral, immune response.

 

T-cells are responsible for carrying out what is known as the cell-mediated immune response. T-cell receptors recognize antigens presented on the surface of other cells. When a T-cell recognizes its target, it responds in one of two ways. Either it destroys the target directly, or it produces a variety of proteins that cause the growth and activation of itself and other T-cells and B-cells, which can then destroy the target.

 

Although any one B-cell or T-cell can recognize and respond to only a single antigen, the human immune system has evolved such that the collective B-cell and T-cell populations can respond to virtually every possible foreign pathogen that a person may encounter in his or her lifetime. Furthermore, the humoral and cell-mediated immune responses have an additional feature of “memory,” which enables B-cells and T-cells to recall an interaction with a foreign antigen and to respond to this antigen in a more rapid and aggressive fashion in the future.

 

The immune system is generally very effective in destroying pathogens-viruses, bacteria, or other foreign microorganisms that it recognizes as foreign. For this reason, a properly functioning immune system is highly regulated to ensure that its destructive power is not directed against normal tissue. If this regulation breaks down, an immune response may be generated against normal tissue, which can lead to autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. In the case of cancer, this strict regulation of the immune system may prevent an effective immune response from being mounted because of the body’s inability to distinguish the cancer as foreign. Researchers believe that teaching the immune system to recognize the proteins associated with cancer cells as foreign will enable the immune system to identify and eliminate cancers, such as lymphoma.

 

Immunotherapy

 

Immunotherapy is designed to use a person’s immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. Immunotherapy enables the immune system to target and destroy diseased cells and has far fewer side effects than other therapies, such as surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. There are two types of immunotherapy used to treat cancer: passive immunotherapy and active immunotherapy.

 

Passive immunotherapy utilizes large doses of infused antibodies that bind to antigens primarily expressed by a tumor cell and by few or no normal cells. These antibodies circulate throughout the bloodstream, binding to antigens on targeted cells, thereby flagging them for destruction. One of the most widely used passive immunotherapies for the treatment of B-cell NHL is Rituxan. Rituxan has demonstrated the ability to induce a clinical response – at least a 50% reduction in tumor burden – in approximately 50% of patients with indolent B-cell NHL with few side effects. In patients who respond to Rituxan, this response lasts on average approximately 12 months. Despite their widespread use in fighting cancer, passive immunotherapies such as Rituxan suffer from significant limitations, including a limited duration of efficacy and the development of resistance. Additional passive immunotherapies have attempted to overcome the shortcomings of Rituxan by linking antibodies to radioactive molecules that can directly destroy the cell to which the antibody is bound. However, improvements in time to disease progression, if any, have been modest.

 

Active immunotherapy teaches the patient’s own immune system to recognize and fight cancer. Active immunotherapy is designed to program the immune system to generate a sustained and robust humoral (B-cell) and cell-mediated (T-cell) immune response. Idiotype immunotherapy, including our product candidate, FavId, for the treatment of B-cell NHL, is an example of active immunotherapy. In the case of B-cell NHL, the antibody protein made by a person’s B-cell NHL is used as a target for immune attack. The unique antigens in this antibody protein are referred to as the idiotype. The immune system can differentiate between lymphoma cells and normal B-cells based on their idiotype. As a result, following successful idiotype immunotherapy, a patient’s immune response is

specific to their B-cell lymphoma.

 

Development of Active Idiotype Immunotherapy

 

Active idiotype immunotherapy has been studied in patients with B-cell NHL since the late 1980’s and has shown substantial promise in clinical trials. Trials conducted at the Stanford University Medical Center and the NCI evaluated the use of active idiotype immunotherapy in treating patients with indolent B-cell NHL. The results suggest that active idiotype immunotherapy significantly increases the duration of response in patients previously placed into remission with chemotherapy. Remission is defined as at least a 50% reduction in tumor burden. The immunotherapy administered in both the Stanford and NCI trials was similar to FavId in that it involved the combination of an idiotype protein derived from a patient’s tumor with a foreign protein, keyhole limpet hemocyanin, or KLH. KLH is a protein derived from shellfish that elicits a strong immune response.

 

In the Stanford trial, 21 of 41 patients treated with idiotype immunotherapy mounted an immune response to their idiotype protein. The median TTP in these patients was calculated to be 7.9 years, compared to a median TTP of 1.3 years for the patients who failed to mount an immune response. For purposes of this trial, TTP was defined as the interval between the date of last dose of chemotherapy and the recurrence of disease. The median TTP for the responding patients was calculated based on available data using a statistical method known as Kaplan-Meier analysis, which allows for the estimation of a median time when not all of the patients have reached the event being measured at the time of analysis. The results from this trial were published in the medical journal Blood in May 1997.

 

In an attempt to increase the idiotype-specific immune response, the NCI trial supplemented the idiotype immunotherapy with granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor, or GM-CSF, a white blood cell growth factor designed to enhance the immune response. Lymphoma-specific immune responses were reported for 19 of the 20 patients in the trial, and the most recent update from this trial in December 2005 indicates that with a median follow-up time of 9.2 years, 45% of patients remain in continuous complete remission with an overall survival rate of 90%. The trial also showed that the immunotherapy converted eight of 11 patients tested to a molecular remission, which means no evidence of tumor could be seen even at the more sensitive level of DNA detection. The preliminary results from the NCI trial were published in the medical journal Nature Medicine in October 1999, and the most recent update from this trial was published in the medical journal Blood in November 2003.

 

Barriers to Commercialization

 

Although the Stanford and NCI clinical trials demonstrated favorable results, substantial manufacturing difficulties have limited further development of an active idiotype immunotherapeutic approach to the treatment of B-cell NHL. The manufacturing process used to produce the idiotype immunotherapies studied at Stanford and the NCI has lengthy and inconsistent production timelines and is labor-intensive, with a reported manufacturing failure rate as high as 15%. As a result, we believe this process would make active idiotype immunotherapies produced using this process difficult to commercialize.

 

Our Solution for the Commercial Production of Active Idiotype Immunotherapy

 

We have developed a proprietary technology that we believe enables us to overcome historical limitations to the manufacturing and commercialization of active idiotype immunotherapies. Our technology utilizes an insect-cell virus that carries genetic information that is identical to a patient’s lymphoma. By introducing this virus into an insect cell line, we can produce sufficient quantities of idiotype protein for our immunotherapy. We believe our manufacturing process has the following benefits:

 

Rapid Production Cycle. We manufacture FavId and deliver it to the patient in eight weeks. We believe our production cycle time is a number of months shorter than previously reported cycle times for manufacturing idiotype immunotherapies for B-cell NHL. Our production timeline allows us to administer FavId at what we believe is the optimal time following treatment with Rituxan.

 

Reliable Manufacturing. Our underlying production method for each patient will not change regardless of the number of units of FavId produced. This small-scale unit operation is easily replicated to produce multiple patient therapies simultaneously without the risks associated with traditional scale-up for commercial production.

 

Automation. This small-scale unit operation is amenable to automation. The time required to identify the genetic information used to construct the insect-cell expression vector has been reduced by technological advances, including automation, some of which are the result of the human genome project. We believe that many other steps in the production of FavId can be automated.

 

Our production process requires standardized small volumes, is readily reproducible, and requires limited production time. As a result, we believe our cost of production can allow for a commercially viable product with gross margins similar to those seen for other biopharmaceuticals and enable physicians to use FavId in concert with all existing standards of care for indolent B-cell NHL,

(1) Patients are considered relapsed if their lymphoma has returned after a response to prior therapy. Patients are considered refractory if they have not responded to prior treatments.

 

(2) This trial is physician-sponsored, which means that a physician, rather than Favrille, is responsible for managing the conduct of the trial and the resulting data. The responsible physician has filed an IND with the FDA or similar regulatory authority in Switzerland for the study and is the owner of that IND. We will provide FavId at our own expense for use in physician-sponsored trials and, in some cases, funding.

 

FavId for B-Cell NHL

 

Overview

 

Our lead product candidate, FavId, is an active immunotherapy that is based upon unique genetic information extracted from a patient’s tumor. We completed enrollment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating FavId in treatment-naïve or relapsed or refractory follicular B-cell NHL patients following treatment with Rituxan in January 2006. Follicular lymphoma accounts for the majority of all indolent B-cell NHL cases. To date, we have conducted several multi-center, open-label Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId involving more than 130 indolent B-cell NHL patients. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2006. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored IND in the United States. A second is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland. We currently retain exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to FavId.

Market Opportunity

 

The American Cancer Society cites NHL as the sixth most common form of cancer and the sixth leading cause of death among cancers in the United States. The American Cancer Society estimated that approximately 56,000 people were diagnosed with NHL in the United States in 2005, and the NCI has estimated that approximately 332,000 patients suffer from this disease. B-cell NHL is a cancer of B-cell lymphocytes, the body’s white blood cells principally responsible for fighting disease. Approximately 85% of NHL patients in the United States have B-cell NHL. We believe that approximately half of these patients have the indolent form of the disease. Although indolent B-cell NHL is slow-growing, it is incurable with existing therapies and inevitably fatal. The median survival time for patients diagnosed with advanced stages of indolent B-cell NHL is estimated to be between seven and ten years.

 

Current Treatments

 

Overview.  B-cell NHL is composed of a diverse group of malignancies with varying patterns of behavior and responses to treatment. Both the prognosis for patients with this disease, and the treatment that they are likely to receive, depend on the histologic type and stage. B-cell NHL is commonly divided into two groups: indolent NHL and aggressive NHL. Indolent B-cell NHL has a relatively good prognosis, with a median survival as long as 10 years. Early-stage indolent B-cell NHL can be effectively treated and often cured with radiation therapy alone. Patients with advanced stage indolent B-cell NHL are not considered curable but generally respond to treatment with a remission. These remissions are generally temporary, however, and patients require additional treatments when they relapse. Aggressive B-cell NHL has a shorter natural history. Only 50% of these patients can be cured with chemotherapy alone or with combinations of chemotherapy and Rituxan. If patients relapse after treatment, the vast majority of relapses occur in the first two years following therapy.

 

Chemotherapy.  Prior to Rituxan’s availability, chemotherapy was traditionally used as the primary therapy for most patients with B-cell NHL. Chemotherapy is typically administered in repeated cycles over three to eight months and can substantially reduce the amount of lymphoma and often achieve remission. Patients receiving chemotherapy generally experience a number of side effects, including fatigue, nausea, hair loss and increased risk of infection. These side effects may result in the need for supportive care, including additional therapies and hospitalization. Patients also experience late side effects such as sterility, myelodysplastic syndromes, second cancers, and heart dysfunction. The toxicity and inconvenience of chemotherapy can impose a heavy strain on a patient’s overall quality of life.

 

Passive Immunotherapy.  Several passive immunotherapy products have been approved for the treatment of B-cell NHL, including Rituxan, Zevalin and Bexxar. Rituxan is the leading passive immunotherapy approved for the treatment of B-cell NHL and is being used for both indolent and aggressive B-cell NHL. Standard treatment with Rituxan alone involves four weekly intravenous infusions over a 22-day period. Rituxan is considered to be significantly less toxic to the bone marrow than chemotherapy. Rituxan is a monoclonal antibody that can induce a remission in approximately 50% of patients with indolent B-cell NHL. In these responding patients, the remission lasts approximately 12 months. Unfortunately, as with patients with indolent B-cell NHL who receive chemotherapy, patients treated with Rituxan eventually relapse. Several clinical trials have suggested that additional doses of Rituxan as a maintenance therapy can improve the time before patients with follicular B-cell NHL relapse. In addition, combinations of Rituxan and chemotherapeutic or immunostimulatory drugs at various doses and schedules may provide patients with an increase in TTP over that expected with Rituxan alone. When administered with chemotherapy to patients with aggressive B-cell NHL, Rituxan can increase the cure rate and the TTP.

 

Rituxan used either alone or in combination with another therapy is the current standard of care for the treatment of B-cell NHL patients. Sales of Rituxan in the United States have grown from $162 million in 1998 to approximately $1.8 billion in 2005. Our clinical registration strategy involves the administration of FavId to the group of patients who would receive Rituxan, that is combine active and passive immunotherapies. Since Rituxan is the current standard of  care, we believe this approach of FavId used in combination with Rituxan treatment will allow the largest number of patients with B-cell NHL to benefit.

 

Clinical Development

 

Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Trial – FavId Following Rituxan.  We completed enrollment in a Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId in patients with follicular B-cell NHL in January 2006. This trial was initiated in July 2004 with an enrollment target of 342 eligible patients. The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial is being conducted at 67 oncology centers and more than 100 sites across the U.S. Approximately 80 percent of the patients enrolled are treatment-naïve, with the remainder either relapsed from or refractory to prior therapies.

 

We obtain tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId. In addition, a CT scan is conducted in order to measure tumor burden before Rituxan treatment. Each patient then receives the standard four doses of Rituxan alone at one-week intervals while the patient’s FavId is being manufactured. Five weeks after the last dose of Rituxan is administered, the patient is re-evaluated and a CT scan is conducted to assess the patient’s response to Rituxan. A patient whose disease remains stable or improves following treatment with Rituxan is randomized to receive either FavId

with GM-CSF or placebo with GM-CSF. During the induction phase, randomized patients receive monthly injections of FavId or placebo for six months. If a patient’s lymphoma remains under control after the induction phase, the patient receives maintenance injections of FavId or placebo given every other month for a year and then every third month until the time of disease progression. Throughout the trial, patients receive CT scans every three months to determine whether their lymphoma is under control. During the trial, patients do not receive any cancer therapy other than that administered in the trial. However, once a patient’s disease progresses, the patient’s participation in the trial terminates.

 

The primary endpoint of the trial is TTP, which in this protocol is the time that elapses between randomization and disease progression. The trial is designed to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in median TTP in those patients treated with FavId compared to those patients treated with placebo. We expect an analysis of the TTP data during the second half of 2007. The trial will also include an analysis based on a secondary endpoint, response improvement, which we anticipate will occur during the fourth quarter of 2006.

 

We have a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, from the FDA for our Phase 3 clinical trial. In the SPA process, the FDA reviewed the design, size and planned analysis of our Phase 3 clinical trial and provided comments regarding the trial’s adequacy to form a basis for approval of a Biologics Licensing Application, or BLA, if the trial is successful in meeting its predetermined objectives. The FDA’s written agreement is binding, except in limited circumstances, such as when a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the safety or effectiveness of a product candidate is identified after the Phase 3 clinical trial is commenced.

 

In January 2006 we announced that we received Fast Track designation from the FDA for FavId. Fast Track designation is granted for a new drug that is intended to treat a serious or life-threatening condition and demonstrates the potential to address an unmet medical need and as a result is eligible for priority review by the FDA. This action by the FDA has the potential to save Favrille valuable time in the regulatory approval process and serves as an acknowledgement of the potential for FavId in the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL.

 

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId Following Rituxan.  We initiated a Phase 2 clinical trial of FavId in patients with follicular B-cell NHL who were candidates for Rituxan therapy in June 2002. Initially, this trial was limited to relapsed or refractory patients who had previously undergone treatment with Rituxan, chemotherapy or both. In April 2003, we expanded the entry criteria for this trial to include patients with no prior treatment for their lymphoma. The open-label Phase 2 trial was conducted at 20 sites. Enrollment in this trial was completed in December 2003. A total of 103 patients were enrolled in the trial, of which 89 had stable disease or a better response to Rituxan and received FavId, including 55 who were relapsed from or refractory to prior treatments and 34 who were treatment-naïve.

 

We obtained tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId. In addition, a CT scan was conducted in order to measure tumor burden before Rituxan treatment. Each patient then received four doses of Rituxan alone at one-week intervals while the patient’s FavId was being manufactured. Approximately eight weeks after the last dose of Rituxan, the patient was re-evaluated and a CT scan was conducted to assess the patient’s response to Rituxan. Patients whose disease remained stable or improved following Rituxan treatment received monthly injections of FavId and GM-CSF for six months. If a patient remains progression free after this induction period, the patient continues to receive maintenance injections of FavId given every other month for a year and then every third month until the time of disease progression. Throughout the trial, patients receive CT scans every three months to determine whether their lymphoma is under control. During the trial, patients do not receive any cancer therapy other than that administered in the trial. However, once a patient’s disease progresses, the patient’s participation in the trial terminates.

 

Long-term follow-up data from this Phase 2 trial were reported at the ASH Annual Meeting in Atlanta in December 2005. In an oral presentation entitled “Extended Follow-Up and Analysis with Central Radiological Review of Patients Receiving FavId (Id/KLH) Vaccine Following Rituximab,” Omer Koc, M.D., a clinical trial principal investigator and Staff Physician, Hematology/Oncology, at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, reported that the administration of FavId following Rituxan appears to improve response over Rituxan alone and extend TTP compared to historical data of Rituxan alone. The data also compare favorably with previous immunotherapy clinical trials in patients with B-cell NHL that have used chemotherapy to induce remissions.

 

Treatment-naïve patients who responded to an initial course of Rituxan with a partial or complete remission, or Rituxan responder population, demonstrated the longest TTP, with only 4 of 23 or 17% of patients in this subpopulation having progressed as of December 2005 at a median observation period of approximately 22 months. In addition, only 10 of 35, or 29% of the total treatment-naïve population and 10 of 44, or 23%, of the Rituxan-responder population (including those that were not treatment-naïve) had progressed as of December 2005.

 

As this Phase 2 clinical trial enrolled both patients that were relapsed or refractory from prior treatment and patients who had received no prior treatment for their lymphoma, we can only compare our preliminary results for these subsets of our patient population with available published data. One clinical trial published by Dr. Thomas E. Witzig in the Journal of Clinical Oncology in May 2002 reported results for 58 follicular B-cell NHL patients relapsed from or refractory to chemotherapy who were subsequently treated with

Rituxan alone. In our Phase 2 clinical trial we treated 23 follicular B-cell NHL patients relapsed from chemotherapy whom we believe to be comparable with respect to the patient characteristics in the Witzig clinical trial. The median TTP for the subset of follicular patients in the Witzig trial was 10.2 months. The median TTP of the 23 patients relapsed from chemotherapy in our Phase 2 clinical trial is projected at 24.2 months. We believe these data show a positive trend to a longer TTP in patients treated with Rituxan followed by FavId compared to patients treated with Rituxan alone.

 

A secondary endpoint in our clinical trial was response improvement. Response improvement attempts to measure the additional responses that occur as a result of FavId. In this trial, response improvement was defined as the improvement in responses that occurred after three months from the start of Rituxan. Improvement in response can be seen in three different ways. Patients who have stable disease at month three can go on to have a response (either a complete or partial remission) sometime after month three. Partial remission is defined as reduction in tumor size of at least 50% and complete remission is defined as no detectable tumor by CT scan.  In addition, a patient with a partial remission at month three can go on to have a complete remission at some time following month three. Using this definition, we reported that 23 of 85, or 27%, of our patients experienced an improvement in their response category after month three, including 12 of 42, or 29%, from stable disease to partial response, 2 of 42, or 5%, from stable disease to complete response, and 9 of 43, or 21%, from partial remission to complete remission.

 

The overall clinical response rate in the Phase 2 trial increased from 49% at month 3 following Rituxan alone to 65% following the initiation of FavId.

 

The positive interim results found in this Phase 2 clinical trial do not guarantee final results, and our positive assessment of FavId in this clinical trial could differ from our assessment of FavId following completion of this trial or the pending Phase 3 clinical trial. We believe an analysis of the characteristics of those patients in our trial whose disease relapsed compared to those whose disease had not allowed us to optimize the design of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial.

 

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId as a Single Therapeutic Agent in Relapsed or Refractory NHL Patients.  In September 2002, we completed enrollment of a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FavId as a single therapeutic agent in indolent B-cell NHL patients who were either relapsed from, or refractory to, prior treatments. The trial was conducted at multiple sites and was designed to determine whether use of FavId alone could stimulate an immune response and whether this response would result in a clinical benefit. We obtained tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId. In addition, a CT scan was conducted in order to measure tumor burden before FavId treatment. Each patient received monthly injections of FavId and GM-CSF for six months. If a patient’s lymphoma remains under control after the induction period, the patient receives maintenance injections of FavId given every other month for a year and then every third month until TTP. Throughout the trial, patients receive CT scans every three months to determine whether their lymphoma is under control. During the trial, patients do not receive any cancer therapy other than that administered in the trial. However, once a patient’s disease progresses, the patient’s participation in the trial terminates.

 

Results from the 27 evaluable patients in the trial showed one patient with a complete remission and three patients with partial remissions, meaning at least a 50% reduction in tumor size, for an overall response rate of 15%. In addition, four patients demonstrated a 25% to 50% reduction in their total lymphoma burden, a minor response, and 15 patients demonstrated stable disease. The other four patients demonstrated disease progression. The median TTP for the 27 patients was 13.5 months using a Kaplan-Meier analysis. As of March 2006, one patient has remained progression free for 46 months and is continuing with FavId injections.

 

These results are encouraging compared to results from similar patients treated with other lymphoma biologic therapies. In a clinical trial conducted by Witzig and reported in the May 2002 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, patients with follicular NHL treated with Rituxan alone had a median TTP of 10.2 months and a median duration of response of 12.1 months. In addition, patients with follicular NHL treated with Zevalin had a median TTP of 12.6 months with a median duration of response of 18.5 months. Similarly, in a trial conducted by McLaughlin and reported in the August 1998 issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, patients treated with Rituxan alone had a TTP of 9.0 months. Median duration of response in that trial was 11.2 months.

This clinical trial demonstrated that FavId as a single agent is well tolerated and has activity in pretreated patients with relapsed indolent B-cell NHL. Patients with two or fewer prior therapies and with tumor burdens of less than 50 square centimeters at initiation of the trial appeared more likely to respond to administration of FavId than more heavily pretreated patients or patients with larger tumors.

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation.  Patient enrollment for a physician-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FavId in patients with indolent B-cell NHL following autologous stem cell transplantation began in November 2000. Autologous stem cell transplantation involves the removal of important blood cells from a patient before the patient receives large doses of chemotherapy. After chemotherapy, the blood cells are returned to the patient to speed recovery from the chemotherapy treatment. This trial is currently being conducted at two sites.

 

This trial is designed to evaluate the ability of FavId to induce humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, and to induce or maintain complete clinical or molecular remission, following autologous stem cell transplantation. In addition, the trial will evaluate the correlation of specific T-cell populations with immune responsiveness to FavId, as well as the safety of FavId following autologous stem cell transplantation. After we obtain tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId, patients undergo autologous stem cell transplantation using standard regimens. At three months following transplantation, patients receive the first of five monthly injections of FavId. Patients are assessed at fixed intervals for safety, development of immune responses to their tumor idiotype, and for evidence of molecular remissions.

 

Interim data from this trial were presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Orlando in May 2005. The data demonstrated that patients developed a rapid immune response to both KLH and their idiotype with T-cell responses to both KLH and idiotype, often measured following a single FavId injection. As of May 2005, 10 out of 13 patients remain in complete remission, ranging from 10 to 43 months since autologous stem cell transplantation.

 

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId Combined with a Maintenance Rituxan Schedule.  Patient enrollment for a multi-center, physician-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FavId in combination with maintenance Rituxan for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL began in May 2004. We assumed sponsorship of the IND in August 2004. The trial is open to treatment-naïve patients with indolent B-cell NHL and is designed to enroll a total of 56 patients over a two-year period.

 

This trial is intended to demonstrate an improvement over the results of prior trials using maintenance Rituxan for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL. These prior trials demonstrated a median TTP of 34 months for patients with indolent B-cell NHL treated with maintenance Rituxan. Despite this long TTP, patients still experienced a high relapse rate and do not appear to be cured of their disease. We believe that by incorporating FavId into a schedule of maintenance Rituxan, patients may experience an increased TTP beyond what would be expected from maintenance Rituxan alone.

 

This trial is designed to evaluate the safety of this regimen, and to assess its efficacy, based on the endpoints of response rate and event-free survival. Event-free survival is defined as the time period from the start of Rituxan to the time of disease progression or death. We obtain tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId. In addition, a CT scan is conducted in order to measure tumor burden before the start of Rituxan treatment. Patients receive the same dose and schedule of maintenance Rituxan as was administered in the prior trials of maintenance Rituxan. FavId is incorporated into this treatment regimen starting on the third month and is administered monthly for the first 12 months, every other month for the second 12 months, and every three months thereafter. FavId is not administered during those months when patients receive Rituxan. With each FavId administration, GM-CSF is administered on four consecutive days beginning on the day of such FavId administration. Throughout the trial, patients receive CT scans every three months to determine whether their lymphoma is under control. During the trial, patients do not receive any cancer therapy other than that administered in the trial. However, once a patient’s disease progresses, the patient’s participation in the trial terminates.

 

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId in Non-follicular B-cell NHL.  Patient enrollment for a physician-sponsored Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating FavId in patients with non-follicular B-cell NHL was initiated in Europe in June 2005. The trial is open to patients with various non-follicular lymphomas who are either treatment-naïve for their lymphoma, relapsed or refractory following prior chemotherapy for their lymphoma, or relapsed following a prior response to Rituxan. The trial is expected to enroll 15 patients, but enrollment may be expanded if activity is seen in any specific patient subset.

 

This trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy of FavId in patients with non-follicular indolent NHL, based on overall response rate, duration of response, time to progression and event-free survival. We will obtain tumor cells via biopsy from each patient to establish the genetic profile of the tumor for our use in manufacturing the patient’s FavId. In addition, a CT scan will be conducted in order to measure tumor burden before FavId treatment. FavId will be administered monthly for the first six months, every other month for the next 12 months, and every three months thereafter until disease progression. With each FavId administration, GM-CSF will be administered on four consecutive days beginning on the day of such FavId administration. Patients in the trial who need immediate therapy may receive Rituxan prior to administration of FavId and GM-CSF, while patients with more indolent disease that is not in need of immediate treatment may receive FavId and GM-CSF administered as a single agent. Throughout the trial, patients will receive CT scans every three months to determine whether their lymphoma is under control. During the trial, patients will not receive any cancer therapy other than that administered in the trial. However, once a patient’s disease progresses, the patient’s participation in the trial will terminate.

Phase 2 Clinical Trial – FavId Following Prior Therapy.  We continue to enroll patients in our Phase 2 clinical trial of FavId in patients who have received prior therapy for their follicular B-cell NHL. This trial was designed primarily to provide FavId to those patients in our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial who did not receive FavId. This would include patients who progressed after receiving Rituxan, and those patients who were randomized to placebo and later progressed. This trial is being conducted at sites participating in our Phase 3 clinical trial.

 

Prior to receiving FavId, these patients will be evaluated by their treating physician. If the physician feels that the patient is a candidate for receiving FavId alone, then we will provide the FavId previously manufactured for them in the registration trial for use as a single agent. In those patients who may require a more immediate reduction in the amount of their lymphoma, the treating physician will have the option of administering salvage treatment such as chemotherapy prior to the administration of FavId. We expect that many of these patients will be candidates for retreatment with Rituxan prior to starting FavId. In these patients we will be able to compare the TTP which occurs following their receipt of Rituxan on the registration trial with their TTP following the receipt of both Rituxan and FavId on this Phase 2 trial. We believe that this comparison will provide further insight into any contribution by FavId to extending TTP following treatment with Rituxan.

 

Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial – Following Chemotherapy/Rituxan in Patients with Aggressive B-cell NHL.  In the first half of 2006, we expect to begin enrolling patients in a randomized double-blind controlled Phase 2/3 clinical trial of FavId in patients with aggressive B-cell NHL who have received prior treatment with a chemotherapy/Rituxan combination. This trial will evaluate the ability of FavId to increase the cure rate of this disease. The trial will require the enrollment of approximately 480 patients over the course of three years.

 

Safety. In December 2005, our independent Data Monitoring Board met and reviewed safety data from our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId and recommended that we continue the trial as planned.

 

FAV-201 for T-cell Lymphoma

 

Our product candidate FAV-201 is a patient-specific T-cell receptor-based immunotherapy. We intend to file an IND and initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and immune response of FAV-201 in patients with T-cell lymphoma during the first half of 2006. This trial builds upon preclinical data that suggest activity of an immunotherapy based on a T-cell receptor. Patients will be observed for evidence of specific cell-mediated and humoral immune responses to FAV-201, and any clinical responses will also be documented.

 

Autoimmune Disease Candidate

 

Autoimmune disease occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys body tissue that it believes to be foreign. In certain instances, autoimmune disease can result from an outgrowth of a limited number of disease-causing lymphocytes that recognize self antigens. Preclinical studies have shown that immunotherapies may prevent or treat autoimmune diseases. In the second half of 2005, we initiated preclinical studies to evaluate whether immunotherapies manufactured in a fashion similar to FAV-201 will be effective in preventing or treating autoimmune disease, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis.

 

Strategy

 

Our goal is to become a leading biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. Key elements of our strategy for achieving this goal are to:

 

Complete Clinical Development and Obtain Regulatory Approval for FavId. We have completed enrollment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating FavId for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL. The trial is under an SPA from the FDA. We also received Fast Track designation for FavId from the FDA, which may result in an expedited review by the FDA. We expect an analysis of the secondary endpoint, response improvement, in the fourth quarter of 2006 and an analysis of the primary endpoint, TTP, in the second half of 2007.

 

Utilize Our Proprietary Technology to Develop Additional Product Candidates. We believe that active immunotherapy may have applications in a number of additional diseases beyond B-cell NHL, such as T-cell lymphoma and autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis. For example, we are currently studying a second product candidate, FAV-201, for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma and intend to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in the first half of 2006. In addition, we initiated a preclinical development program to identify active immunotherapies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis in the second half of 2005.

Retain Commercialization Rights to Our Oncology Products. We intend to focus our internal development efforts on FavId and other oncology product candidates. We hold exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to FavId without any obligation to pay royalties to any third party on sales. We plan to retain United States commercialization rights to these product candidates at least through completion of BLA filing. At that point, we will assess whether to market and sell FavId and future products in the United States directly through an internal sales force or together with a co-promotion partner. We intend to seek a commercialization and development partner outside of the United States. We intend to seek one or more collaborators to develop and commercialize our product candidates and programs for chronic autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, in exchange for license fees, milestone payments and royalties.

 

Expand our Product Portfolio Through In-Licensing and Acquisitions. We intend to capitalize upon our expertise in immunology, oncology, immunotherapy, clinical development and regulatory affairs to in-license or acquire complementary product candidates in various stages of development.

 

Manufacturing and Supply

 

Our Proprietary Manufacturing Process

 

GRAPHIC

 

Our process begins upon receipt of a patient’s lymphoma biopsy, which the treating physician sends to our manufacturing facility. The process can be divided into the three phases described below.

 

Gene Identification and Cloning

 

First, we perform a genetic profile of a sample of the patient’s tumor to identify and isolate the unique antibody genes that correspond to the patient’s tumor idiotype. We then insert these antibody genes into our proprietary insect cell-specific expression vectors. Our insect-cell expression vectors are DNA fragments that have all the genetic instructions needed for directing the production of full-length, recombinant, monoclonal antibodies.

 

Cell Culture

 

The next step in the process involves the use of an insect cell-specific expression vector to produce the recombinant idiotype that forms the basis for FavId. We insert the expression vector into a continually growing insect cell line, which converts this genetic information into an insect cell virus, referred to as a baculovirus. We then add the baculovirus culture to a second insect cell line that

 

13



 

subsequently secretes high levels of idiotype protein. Within a few days, milligram quantities of this idiotype protein are harvested. The cell culture medium used to grow the insect cells is completely devoid of any animal products, which we believe enhances the safety of the final product.

 

Protein Purification and Formulation

 

Finally, we perform a multi-step process to purify the idiotype protein. Each step in this purification process results in idiotype protein that is progressively more purified. In order to enhance the immune response, purified idiotype protein is chemically linked to KLH. When the idiotype and KLH complex is injected subcutaneously, the patient’s immune system reacts to both the foreign KLH and the patient’s unique idiotype protein. We believe that, once activated, the patient’s immune system will be able to recognize the idiotype protein on the cancer cell and more effectively fight the tumor.

 

Manufacturing Facility

 

We currently manufacture FavId for our clinical trials in our state-of-the-art, multi-product cGMP manufacturing facility which consists of approximately 26,000 square feet of leased space in an 80,000 square-foot facility at our corporate headquarters. In September 2004, we received a manufacturing license from the California Department of Health Sciences. In November 2005, we signed an amended lease agreement to expand capacity within our existing manufacturing facility to support commercial-scale manufacturing of FavId®. This 80,000-square foot facility will be devoted to manufacturing and research and development, and is intended to give us the capacity to produce FavId to meet commercial needs while continuing to support additional clinical trials. We anticipate that the expanded capacity of our manufacturing facility will be sufficient to supply FavId for up to 4,000 patients per year. In addition, we have committed to lease an adjacent 48,000-square foot facility to house our corporate headquarters and warehousing operations. We plan to begin construction for the expansion of capacity within our manufacturing facility in June 2006.

 

Key Suppliers

 

We currently depend on single source suppliers for critical raw materials used in the manufacture of FavId. We purchase KLH from biosyn Arzneimittel GmbH, or biosyn, which is currently the only supplier of KLH that has submitted the required filing, known as a drug master file, with the FDA. In November 2004, we entered into an eight-year supply agreement with biosyn under which biosyn has agreed to supply us with KLH. We have purchased the required initial minimum supply of KLH and we have committed to minimum annual KLH purchase requirements during commercialization of FavId. An additional aggregate of up to $300,000 will be due upon the achievement of certain milestones, the timing of which is not known at this time. Either party may terminate the supply agreement upon a breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days or other events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy. There may be no other supplier of KLH of suitable quality for our purposes. In addition, we depend on a single source supplier for the cell growth media we use to produce FavId. We purchase this material from Expression Systems LLC. We currently rely on purchase orders to obtain this material and do not have a supply agreement with Expression Systems. We intend to qualify a second source for the cell growth media or manufacture the cell growth media in house from commercially available raw materials but may not be able to do so. The GM-CSF that we administer with FavId is commercially available only from Berlex Laboratories, Inc. We currently rely on purchase orders to purchase GM-CSF and do not have a supply agreement with Berlex. GM-CSF is an FDA-approved and commercially available drug that may be purchased by physicians. Our current strategy for initial commercialization of FavId involves the administration of FavId following treatment with Rituxan. Rituxan is a passive immunotherapy for patients with NHL, which is also FDA-approved and is commercially available solely from Genentech and Biogen Idec. We currently rely on physicians to order and administer Rituxan to patients prior to the administration of FavId in our registration trial.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

We intend to market and sell FavId and future products in the United States either directly through an internal sales force or together with a co-promotion partner. Because the community and institutional referral networks of cancer treatment physicians in the United States are relatively small and well-established, we believe that a small, focused sales and marketing organization will enable us to effectively penetrate our target markets. Outside of the United States, we plan to establish strategic collaborations for the development and marketing of FavId.

 

We may enter into collaboration agreements with third parties with respect to other product candidates we develop, which may include co-marketing or co-promotion arrangements. Alternatively, we may grant exclusive marketing rights to one or more strategic collaborators in exchange for upfront fees, future milestone payments and royalties on sales.

 

We are currently in the process of acquiring the resources and experience necessary to market FavId or our other product candidates ourselves. We currently have no arrangements for distribution of our product candidates. Our future commercial success will depend on our ability to establish our own sales and marketing infrastructure or to collaborate with third parties that have greater sales and marketing experience and resources than our own.

Competition

 

The development and commercialization of new pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases is quite competitive, and we expect to face competition from numerous sources, including major pharmaceutical biotechnology companies, as well as specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources and development, production and marketing capabilities than we do. In addition, many of these companies have more experience than we do in preclinical testing, human clinical trials and manufacturing of biologic therapeutics, as well as in obtaining FDA and foreign regulatory approvals. We will also compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies and private organizations that are conducting research in the fields of cancer and autoimmune disease. Competition among these entities to recruit and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and professional personnel and consultants is also intense.

 

We are aware of a number of companies that are developing active immunotherapies to treat B-cell NHL. Genitope Corporation is evaluating idiotype immunotherapies in clinical trials. Genitope is conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of its active idiotype immunotherapy product candidate in patients with follicular B-cell NHL who are in first remission following prior treatment with chemotherapy. Antigenics, Inc. completed a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its active immunotherapy candidate in indolent B-cell NHL patients. The NCI is also conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of an active idiotype immunotherapy in collaboration with Accentia Biopharmaceuticals.

 

Several companies are engaged in the development and commercialization of passive immunotherapy products for the treatment of B-cell NHL that may compete with FavId. Genentech and Biogen Idec are co-marketing Rituxan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, indolent B-cell NHL. Biogen Idec is marketing Zevalin, its passive radioimmunotherapy product. GlaxoSmithKline plc is marketing Bexxar, its passive radioimmunotherapy product.

 

The most recent advances in the treatment of B-cell NHL have involved the combination of existing products and changes to approved schedules and doses, particularly for Rituxan. Numerous clinical trials reported in recent years have indicated that additional doses of Rituxan and maintenance dosing of Rituxan can improve the time to progression in patients who respond to therapy. Combination therapies involving chemotherapeutic or immuno-stimulatory drugs in combination with Rituxan at various doses and schedules may provide patients with an increase in time to progression over that expected with Rituxan alone. Accordingly, we may face competition as a result of developments in this area.

 

Patents and Proprietary Rights

 

Our success will depend in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our products and technologies, preserve trade secrets and operate without infringing the intellectual property rights of others. We intend to prosecute and defend our intellectual property rights aggressively. Our policy is to seek patent protection for the inventions that we consider important to the development of our business. Currently we own U.S. Patent No. 6,911,204 together with four pending United States patent applications covering methods of treating immune system diseases, including B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, using our proprietary immunotherapy production methods, as well as methods for combining the idiotype immunotherapies with other therapies that are used to treat diseases of the immune system. We also have three issued patents and 19 patent applications pending outside of the United States, and have received notice that one of these applications will issue as a patent. Our intellectual property related to T-cell receptor-based immunotherapies includes an exclusive royalty-free license from the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center to intellectual property developed by Dr. Daniel Gold while he was employed there prior to joining us. We have responsibility for the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent rights associated with this license, but the intellectual property is jointly owned with the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center which holds a license to use the technology for non-commercial research and educational purposes.

 

Although we believe these patent applications, if they issue as patents, will provide a competitive advantage, the patent positions of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. We may not be able to develop patentable products or processes, and may not be able to obtain patents from pending applications. Even if patent claims are allowed, the claims may not issue, or in the event of issuance, may not be sufficient to protect our technology. In addition, any patents or patent rights we obtain may be circumvented, challenged or invalidated by our competitors.

 

While our product candidates are in clinical trials, and prior to commercialization, we believe our current activities in the United States fall within the scope of the exemptions against patent infringement provided by 35 U.S.C. Section 271(e) which covers activities related to developing information for submission to the FDA. As our product candidates progress toward commercialization, the possibility of an infringement claim against us increases. While we attempt to ensure that our product candidates and the methods we employ to manufacture them do not infringe other parties’ patents and proprietary rights, competitors or other parties may assert that we infringe on their patents or proprietary rights. Competitors or third parties may be issued patents that may cover subject matter that we use in developing, producing, or administering our products. In particular, we are aware of the following third party patents:

Genitope holds patent rights relating to immunotherapy using idiotype proteins produced using T lymphoid cells for the treatment of B-cell lymphoma; and

 

Schering Corp. holds patent rights relating to the use of GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant for use against infectious diseases.

 

Additionally, because patent prosecution can proceed in secret prior to issuance of a patent, third parties may obtain other patents with claims of unknown scope prior to the issuance of patents relating to our product candidates which they could attempt to assert against us. Further, as we develop our products, we may infringe the current patents of third parties or patents that may issue in the future.

 

We believe that we have valid defenses to any assertion that our product candidates, or the methods that we employ to manufacture them, infringe the claims of the patent held jointly by Genentech and City of Hope National Medical Center relating to the expression of recombinant antibodies. We also believe that the patent may be invalid and/or unenforceable. The relevant patent was issued to Genentech in 2001 in connection with the settlement of a district court action and an interference proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office between Genentech and Celltech R&D Ltd. We believe other biotechnology companies are aware of and are considering the possible impact of this patent and that other companies have negotiated license agreements for this patent. We note that in May 2005, a third party filed a request for reexamination of this patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, requesting that the claims of this patent be reexamined as to their patentability. We have not attempted to obtain a license to this patent because we believe that properly construed claims do not cover activities related to the manufacture of FavId and FAV-201. If we decide to attempt to obtain a license for this patent, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

We also believe that we have valid defenses to any assertion that our product candidates infringe the claims of the patent held by Genitope relating to immunotherapy using idiotype proteins produced using T-lymphoid cells for treatment of B-cell lymphoma, and the claims of the patent held by Schering Corp. relating to use of GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant for use against infectious diseases. The relevant Genitope patent issued in 1999. We believe that FavId and FAV-201 and the methods we use to manufacture them do not infringe the claims of the patent. The relevant Schering patent issued in 1997. We believe that FavId and FAV-201 and the methods we use to manufacture them do not infringe the claims of the patent and that the claims of the patent are invalid.

 

Although we believe that our product candidates, production methods and other activities do not currently infringe the intellectual property rights of these and other third parties, we cannot be certain that a third party will not challenge our position in the future. If a third party alleges that we are infringing its intellectual property rights, we may need to obtain a license from that third party, but there can be no assurance that any such license will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Any infringement claim that results in litigation could result in substantial cost to us and the diversion of management’s attention away from our core business and could also prevent us from marketing our products. To enforce patents issued to us or to determine the scope and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights, we may also become involved in litigation or in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which could result in substantial costs to us or an adverse decision as to the priority of our inventions. We may be involved in interference and/or opposition proceedings in the future. We believe there will continue to be significant litigation in the industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights.

 

We are party to license agreements which provide us rights to use technologies in our research, development and commercialization of our product candidates. We obtained a non-exclusive license from Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research to use certain information and materials in the field of prevention and treatment of immune system diseases and disorders related to NHL. This party has sole responsibility for the prosecution, maintenance and enforcement of the licensed intellectual property.

 

We also rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, particularly when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or available. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We attempt to protect our trade secrets by requiring each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreement before beginning his or her employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. We cannot guarantee that these agreements will provide meaningful protection, that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have an adequate remedy for any such breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by a third party.

 

Government Regulation

 

The testing, development, manufacturing, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising, promotion, export and marketing, among other things, of our product candidates are subject to extensive regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other countries. In the United States, pharmaceutical and biologic products are regulated by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, its implementing regulations and other laws, including, in the case of biologics, the Public Health Service Act. Our

 

16



 

product candidates are regulated by the FDA as biologics. Biologics require the submission of a Biologics License Application, or BLA, and approval by the FDA prior to being marketed in the United States. None of our product candidates have been approved by the FDA for marketing in the United States, and we currently have no BLAs pending. Manufacturers of biologics may also be subject to state regulation. Failure to comply with FDA requirements, both before and after product approval, may subject us to administrative or judicial sanctions, including, but not limited to, FDA refusal to approve pending applications, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, fines, injunction and criminal prosecution.

 

The steps required before a biologic may be approved for marketing in the United States generally include:

 

completion of preclinical laboratory tests and animal tests;

 

the submission to the FDA of an investigational new drug, or IND, application for human clinical testing, which must become effective before human clinical trials may commence;

 

performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for each proposed indication;

 

the submission to the FDA of a BLA;

 

FDA review of the BLA; and

 

satisfactory completion of an FDA pre-approval inspection of the manufacturing facility or facilities at which the product candidate is made to assess compliance with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, regulations.

 

The testing and approval process typically takes several years and requires the commitment of substantial effort and financial resources. Despite the time and expense committed, there can be no assurance that any approval will be granted on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Preclinical tests include laboratory evaluation and animal studies to assess the pharmacology and toxicology of the product candidate. The results of the preclinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted to the FDA as part of an IND, which must become effective before human clinical trials may be commenced. The IND will automatically become effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA before that time raises concerns or questions about the conduct of the trials as outlined in the IND, including concerns that human research subjects will be exposed to unreasonable risks. In such a case, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns before clinical trials can proceed. There can be no assurance that submission of an IND will result in FDA authorization to commence clinical trials. A separate submission to an existing IND must also be made for each successive clinical trial conducted during product development. Further, each clinical trial must be reviewed and approved by an independent Institutional Review Board, or IRB.

 

Clinical trials typically are conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap. In Phase 1, the initial introduction of the drug into human subjects, the drug is usually tested for safety (adverse effects), dosage tolerance, absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion and pharmaocodynamics. Phase 2 usually involves studies in a limited patient population to (i) evaluate preliminarily the efficacy of the drug for specific, targeted indications, (ii) determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosage and (iii) identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. Phase 3 clinical trials generally further evaluate clinical efficacy and test further for safety within an expanded patient population. There can be no assurance that Phase 1, Phase 2 or Phase 3 testing will be completed successfully within any specific time period, if at all, with respect to any of our product candidates. Furthermore, we, the FDA or the relevant IRB may suspend clinical trials at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

 

The results of the preclinical studies and clinical trials, together with other detailed information, including information on the manufacture and composition of the product, are submitted to the FDA in the form of a BLA requesting approval to market the product. Before approving a BLA, the FDA will inspect the facilities at which the product is manufactured and will not approve the product unless the facility cGMP compliance is satisfactory. The FDA may deny a BLA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied, require additional testing or information or require postmarketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of a product. Approval entails limitations on the indicated uses for which a product may be marketed. Also, if we seek to make certain changes to an approved product, such as promoting or labeling a product for a new indication, making certain manufacturing changes, or changing manufacturers or suppliers of certain ingredients or components, we will need FDA review and approval before the change can be implemented.

We are utilizing the procedure called “Special Protocol Assessment” for FavId. Under this procedure, a sponsor may seek the FDA’s agreement on the design and size of a clinical trial intended to form the primary basis of an effectiveness claim. If the FDA agrees in writing, its agreement may not be changed after the trial begins, except in limited circumstances. If the outcome of the trial is successful, the sponsor will ordinarily be able to rely on it as the primary basis for approval with respect to effectiveness. Although we received our SPA, there can be no assurance that any of our trials will have a successful outcome.

 

In December 2005, we received the FDA designation of FavId as a “fast track product” for treatment of patients with follicular B-cell NHL. We also intend to apply for “fast track” designation for FAV-201 for T-cell lymphoma. Fast track products are those which are intended for the treatment of a serious or life-threatening condition and which demonstrate the potential to address unmet medical needs for such conditions. Fast track products are eligible for two means of potentially expediting product development and FDA review of BLAs. First, a fast track product may be approved on the basis of either a clinical endpoint or a surrogate endpoint that is reasonably likely to predict clinical benefit. It is sometimes possible to demonstrate efficacy with respect to such endpoints in a shorter period of time than would be the case for other endpoints. Approvals of this kind may be subject to requirements for appropriate post-approval studies to validate the surrogate endpoint or otherwise confirm the effect of the clinical endpoint, and to certain other conditions. Second, if the FDA determines after review of preliminary clinical data submitted by the sponsor that a fast track product may be effective, it may begin review of portions of a BLA before the sponsor submits the complete BLA, thereby accelerating the date on which review of a portion of the BLA can begin. There can be no assurance that any of our product candidates in development will receive designation as fast track products, and even if they are designated as fast track products, there can be no assurance that our product candidates will be reviewed or approved more expeditiously than would otherwise have been the case.

 

We intend to request priority review of our BLA for FavId. A priority designation sets the target date for the FDA to complete review of a BLA within six months of the date of submission. Priority review of biologics is available for product candidates which, if approved, would be a significant improvement in the safety or effectiveness of the treatment of a serious or life-threatening disease. Even if priority review is granted, there can be no assurance that FDA review will be completed within six months or any other specific period of time, nor that the product candidate will be approved.

 

BLA holders must continue to comply with a number of FDA requirements both before and after approval. For example, BLA holders are required to report certain adverse reactions to the FDA and to comply with certain requirements concerning advertising and promotional labeling for their products. Also, quality control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to cGMP regulations after approval, and the FDA periodically conducts inspections of manufacturing facilities to assess compliance with cGMP. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, monies and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain cGMP compliance. In addition, discovery of problems, such as safety problems, may result in changes in labeling or restrictions on a product, manufacturer or BLA holder, including removal of the product from the market.

 

We have applied for orphan drug designation for the use of FavId for the treatment of certain forms of follicular B-cell NHL and plan to seek orphan drug designation for the use of FAV-201 for T-cell lymphoma. Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which generally is a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Orphan drug designation must be requested before submitting a BLA. After the FDA grants orphan drug designation, the generic identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are publicly disclosed by the FDA. Orphan drug designation does not convey any advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the regulatory review and approval process. If a product which has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first FDA approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, i.e., the FDA may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication for a period of seven years, except in limited circumstances. Our products may not be eligible for orphan drug status or be designated as orphan drugs. Even if designated as orphan drugs, our products may not be approved before other applications or granted orphan drug exclusivity if approved.

 

Third-Party Reimbursement

 

We expect that sales volumes and prices of our products will be dependent in part on the availability of coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors. In the United States, such payors include governmental programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, private insurance plans and managed care programs. The Medicare program, a federally-funded and administered health insurance program, is the nation’s single largest payor, and provides for coverage for certain medical products and services for certain aged and disabled individuals and individuals with end-stage renal disease. Significantly, other third-party payors often model their coverage and reimbursement policies after Medicare. Medicare and other third-party payors may deny coverage and reimbursement if they determine that a medical product or procedure is not medically necessary or used for an unapproved indication, among other things. There can be no assurance that a new product will be considered medically necessary or otherwise eligible for coverage and reimbursement. Our ability to earn sufficient returns on our products may depend in part on the extent to which adequate third-party reimbursement is available for the costs of such products and related treatments. Significant uncertainty exists as to the coverage and reimbursement status of newly approved health care products, and there can be no assurance that adequate third-party coverage and reimbursement will be available.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

 

If we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we will be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health programs. Healthcare fraud and abuse regulations are complex, and even minor, inadvertent irregularities can potentially give rise to claims that a statute or prohibition has been violated. If there is a change in law, regulation or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our business practices or our existing business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some allegations under these laws have been claimed to violate the False Claims Act, discussed in more detail below.

 

In addition, if we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we could become subject to false claims litigation under federal statutes, which can lead to civil money penalties, criminal fines and imprisonment, and exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. These false claims statutes include the False Claims Act, which any person to bring suit on behalf of the federal government alleging the submission of false or fraudulent claims, or causing to present such false or fraudulent claims, under federal programs or contracts claims or other violations of the statute and to share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. These suits against biotechnology companies have increased significantly in recent years and have increased the risk that a healthcare company will have to defend a false claim action, pay fines or be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal and state healthcare programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2005, we had 136 full-time equivalent employees. Of these, 115 employees were in research and development comprised of 77 in manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance, 33 in research and process development, and five members of senior management. Of the remaining employees, three were members of senior management and 18 were in administration. As of the same date, 18 of our employees had a Ph.D., M.D. or Pharm.D. degree. None of our employees is subject to a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationship with our employees to be good.

Item 1A.       Risk Factors

 

You should consider carefully the risk factors described below, together with the other information contained in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock.

 

Risks Related to the Development of Our Product Candidates

 

We are dependent on the success of our lead product candidate, FavId, and we cannot be certain that it will be commercialized.

 

We have expended significant time, money and effort in the development of our lead product candidate, FavId, which is still in clinical development, has not yet received regulatory approval and may never be commercialized. In order to commercialize FavId, we will need to demonstrate to the FDA and other regulatory agencies that it satisfies rigorous standards of safety and effectiveness. We completed patient enrollment in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL in January 2006.

 

We are also evaluating FavId for use in other B-cell NHL indications. However, even if we were to receive regulatory approval of FavId for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL or the other indications we are exploring, our ability to successfully commercialize FavId could be jeopardized by the emergence of a competitive product that exhibits greater efficacy, longer duration of response or other benefits. In addition, because our initial regulatory and marketing strategy contemplates the administration of FavId to patients following treatment with Rituxan, the commercial opportunity for FavId may be limited by the degree to which oncologists continue to use Rituxan to treat indolent B-cell NHL. Furthermore, to the extent FavId fails to gain market acceptance for its initial indication, it may be more difficult for us to generate sufficient credibility with physicians and patients to commercialize FavId for other indications.

 

Other than FavId, we have only two other product development programs, which are at significantly earlier stages of development. We are currently preparing to file an IND for a product candidate, FAV-201, from one of these programs in patients with T-cell lymphoma. During the fourth quarter of 2005, we initiated preclinical studies to assess the applicability of our technology to autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis. We cannot be certain that we will be able to successfully develop any product candidate from these development programs. We cannot be certain that the clinical development of FavId or any other product candidate in preclinical testing or clinical trials will be successful, that it will receive the regulatory approvals required to commercialize it, or that any of our other research programs will yield a product candidate suitable for entry into clinical trials. If we are unable to commercialize FavId or our other product candidates, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to attain or maintain profitability, our ability to raise additional capital will be impaired and our stock price may be negatively affected.

 

Failure to obtain product approvals by the FDA could harm our business.

 

We are subject to rigorous and extensive regulation by the FDA. In the United States, our biologic product candidates, currently in the preclinical and clinical stages of development, cannot be marketed until they are approved by the FDA. Obtaining FDA approval involves the submission of the results of preclinical studies and clinical trials, among other information, of the product candidates. We may not be able to obtain FDA approval, and, even if we are able to do so, the approval process typically takes many years and requires the commitment of substantial effort and financial resources. The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a biologic product candidate for many reasons, including:

 

the FDA may not find that the biologic product candidate is sufficiently safe or effective;

 

FDA officials may interpret data from preclinical testing and clinical trials differently than we do; and

 

22



 

the FDA may not find our manufacturing processes or facilities satisfactory.

 

In addition, the specific active immunotherapy technology on which FavId is based is a relatively new form of cancer therapy that presents novel issues for the FDA to consider, which may make the regulatory process especially difficult.

 

We cannot assure you that any of our product candidates in development will be approved in the United States in a timely fashion, or at all. Failure to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates in a timely fashion would prevent or delay us from marketing or selling any products and, therefore, from generating revenues from their sale. If this occurs, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to attain or maintain profitability, our ability to raise additional capital will be impaired and our stock price may be negatively affected. In addition, both before and after approval, we are subject to numerous FDA requirements covering, among other things, testing, manufacturing, quality control, labeling, advertising, promotion and export of biologics. Failure to comply with the law, including statutes and regulations, administered by the FDA, could result in, among others, any of the following actions:

 

warning letters;

 

fines and other civil penalties;

 

unanticipated expenditures;

 

delays in approving or refusal to approve a product candidate;

 

product recall or seizure;

 

interruption of production;

 

operating restrictions;

 

injunctions; and

 

criminal prosecution.

 

Before we can seek regulatory approval of any of our product candidates, we must successfully complete clinical trials, which are uncertain.

 

Conducting clinical trials is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process, and the results of these trials are inherently uncertain. We have completed enrollment of patients in several Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId involving over 130 indolent B-cell NHL patients and are currently conducting follow-up evaluation of those patients. We completed enrollment of patients in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL in January 2006 and anticipate an analysis of the secondary endpoint, response improvement, during the fourth quarter of 2006 and final analysis of the primary endpoint, TTP, during the second half of 2007. Four additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId were ongoing during 2005 with one additional Phase 2 clinical trial planned for 2006. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored IND in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland.  We are also developing our preclinical candidate FAV-201 for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma and we are currently preparing to file an IND.

 

We have received a Special Protocol Assessment, or SPA, from the FDA for our Phase 3 clinical trial. In the SPA process, the FDA reviewed the design, size and planned analysis of our Phase 3 clinical trial and provided comments regarding the trial’s adequacy to form a basis with respect to effectiveness for approval of a Biologics Licensing Application, or BLA, if the trial meets its predetermined objectives. We cannot assure you that we will be able to file a BLA for FavId until after we receive an analysis of the primary endpoint, TTP, of our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial (assuming the TTP data is positive), which analysis is anticipated in the second half of 2007.  The FDA’s written agreement is binding, except in limited circumstances, such as when a substantial scientific issue essential to determining the safety or effectiveness of a product candidate is identified after the Phase 3 clinical trial is commenced. Despite having received an SPA, we may be required to conduct an additional Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL before we can apply for regulatory approval. Although the FDA typically requires successful results in two Phase 3 clinical trials to support marketing approval, the FDA has, on several occasions, approved products based on a single Phase 3 clinical trial that demonstrates a high level of statistical significance where there is an unmet need for a life-threatening condition. We currently plan to seek FDA approval of FavId based on our ongoing Phase 3 clinical trial alone. In the event that the FDA requires the results of a second Phase 3 clinical trial before accepting a BLA or before granting marketing approval of FavId, our launch of FavId would be delayed, possibly by several years, and we would incur significant costs in conducting the additional trial.

 

23



 

Completion of necessary clinical trials may take several years or more. Our commencement and rate of completion of clinical trials may be delayed by many factors, including:

 

ineffectiveness of the product candidate, or perceptions by physicians that the product candidate is not safe or effective for a particular indication;

 

inability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the product candidate for use in clinical trials;

 

delay or failure in obtaining approval of our clinical trial protocols from the FDA;

 

slower than expected rate of patient recruitment and enrollment;

 

inability to adequately follow and monitor patients after treatment;

 

difficulty in managing multiple clinical sites;

 

unforeseen safety issues; and

 

government or regulatory delays.

 

Even if we achieve positive interim results in clinical trials, these results do not necessarily predict final results, and positive results in early trials may not be indicative of success in later trials. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical industry have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials, even after promising results in earlier trials. Negative or inconclusive results or adverse medical events during a clinical trial could cause us to repeat or terminate a clinical trial or require us to conduct additional trials. Our clinical trials may be suspended at any time for a variety of reasons, including if the FDA or we believe the patients participating in our trials are exposed to unacceptable health risks or if the FDA finds deficiencies in the conduct of these trials.

 

Failures or perceived failures in our clinical trials will directly delay our product development and regulatory approval process, damage our business prospects, make it difficult for us to establish collaboration and partnership relationships, and negatively affect our reputation and competitive position in the pharmaceutical community.

 

Failure to enroll patients in our clinical trials may cause delays in developing FavId or any other product candidate.

 

We may encounter delays in development and commercialization, or fail to obtain marketing approval, of FavId or any other product candidate that we may develop if we are unable to enroll enough patients to complete clinical trials. Our ability to enroll sufficient numbers of patients in our clinical trials depends on many factors, including the size of the patient population, the nature of the protocol, the proximity of patients to clinical sites, the eligibility criteria for the trial and competing clinical trials.  Although we completed patient enrollment in our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId in January 2006, we have from time to time experienced slower-than-expected patient enrollment in our clinical trials and may do so in the future if additional clinical trials of FavId are required or if we clinically develop any of our other product candidates. Delays in planned patient enrollment may result in increased costs and harm our ability to complete our clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval.

 

The development of FavId requires the continued availability of two FDA-approved drugs: GM-CSF and Rituxan.

 

Administration of FavId requires an adjuvant to enhance the immune response. An adjuvant is a substance that is used to enhance the immune response. We use a white blood cell growth factor known as GM-CSF, which is commercially available solely from Berlex Laboratories, Inc., as an adjuvant for FavId. We currently rely on purchase orders to purchase GM-CSF for use in our clinical trials and do not have a supply agreement with Berlex. GM-CSF is an FDA-approved and commercially available drug that may be purchased by physicians. Our current strategy for the initial commercialization of FavId involves the administration of FavId following treatment with Rituxan. Rituxan is a passive immunotherapy for patients with NHL, which is also FDA-approved and is commercially available solely from Genentech, Inc. and Biogen Idec Inc. We currently rely on physicians to order and administer Rituxan to patients prior to the administration of FavId in our registration trial. If GM-CSF or Rituxan were to become unavailable as a result of regulatory actions, supply constraints or other reasons, our ability to continue the clinical development of FavId would be jeopardized.

Risks Related to Our Financial Results and Need for Financing

 

We have incurred significant operating losses since inception and anticipate that we will continue to incur substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations for the foreseeable future.

 

We are a development stage company with a limited operating history. We have financed our operations through private placements of preferred stock, an initial public offering of our common stock and equipment and leasehold debt financing.  We have incurred losses in each year since our inception in 2000. Net losses were $35.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, $26.0 million in 2004, $13.3 million in 2003, $7.2 million in 2002, $3.8 million in 2001 and $1.0 million in 2000. As of December 31, 2005, we had an accumulated deficit of $115.4 million. These losses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital. We expect to incur substantial operating losses for at least the next several years. This is due primarily to the expansion of our clinical trials and research and development programs, preparations to manufacture FavId on a commercial scale, and, to a lesser extent, general and administrative expenses. We also have substantial lease and debt obligations related to our new manufacturing and headquarters facilities impacting our operating expenses. We expect that our losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that these fluctuations may be substantial. We cannot guarantee that we will successfully develop, manufacture, commercialize or market any products. As a result, we cannot guarantee that we will ever achieve or sustain product revenues or profitability.

 

We currently have no source of revenue and may never become profitable.

 

Our ability to become profitable will depend upon our ability to generate revenue. To date, FavId has not generated any revenue, and we do not know when or if FavId will generate revenue. Our ability to generate revenue depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

successfully complete clinical trials for FavId;

 

obtain regulatory approval for FavId, including regulatory approval for our commercial scale manufacturing facility and process;

 

manufacture commercial quantities of FavId at acceptable cost levels; and

 

successfully market and sell FavId.

 

We do not anticipate that we will generate revenues until 2008, at the earliest. Further, we do not expect to achieve profitability for at least several years after generating material revenues. If we are unable to generate revenue, we will not become profitable, and we may be unable to continue our operations.

 

We will need substantial additional funds to continue operations, which we may not be able to raise on favorable terms, or at all.

 

We will need substantial additional funds for existing and planned preclinical studies and clinical trials, to continue research and development activities, for lease and debt obligations related to our manufacturing and headquarter facilities, and to establish manufacturing and marketing capabilities for any products we may develop. In addition, because we do not expect to generate revenues from the sale of our product candidates for several years, or at all, we will also need to raise additional capital to fund our operations.

 

We believe that our existing cash, which includes funds received from the March 2006 financing, cash equivalents and short-term investments, together with interest thereon, will be sufficient to meet our projected operating requirements through fiscal 2007.  We will need to raise additional funds in order to commercialize FavId, including the completion of the expansion and qualification of our manufacturing facility for commercial scale production. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations 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 elsewhere in this “Factors that May Affect Future Operating Results” section of this report. 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.

 

Our future capital requirements or the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

 

magnitude and cost of our product development efforts and other research and development activities;

 

25



 

rate of progress toward obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

 

costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative, licensing or other arrangements for the development, sale, marketing or distribution of our product candidates and the terms of those arrangements;

 

effects of competing technological and market developments;.

 

the cost of expansion of our current facility for commercial production or the construction of a large separate commercial-scale production facility; and

 

the success of the commercialization of FavId.

 

Future capital requirements will also depend on the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies, but we currently have no commitments or agreements relating to any of these types of transactions.

 

We may seek to access the public or private equity markets whenever conditions are favorable, even if we do not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Additional funding may not be available to us, and, if available, may not be on acceptable terms. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, stockholders will incur immediate dilution. If adequate funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our research, development and clinical activities. Alternatively, we may need to seek funds through arrangements with collaborative partners or others that require us to relinquish rights to technologies or product candidates that we would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flow.

 

We are recording non-cash compensation expense that may result in an increase of our net losses for a given period.

 

Stock-based compensation represents an expense associated with the recognition of the difference between the deemed fair value of common stock at the time of an option grant or stock issuance and the option exercise price or price paid for the stock. Stock-based compensation is amortized over the vesting period of the option or issuance. As of December 31, 2005, deferred stock-based compensation related to option grants to our employees and non-employee directors totaled $5.7 million. Options granted to consultants, if any, for compensation purposes, must be remeasured at each reporting date during the vesting period. The remeasurement and the corresponding effect on the related expense may result in an increase in net losses for a given period.

 

In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement No. 123 (FAS 123R) Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of employee stock options and similar awards.  On April 15, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for FAS123R.  In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of FAS 123R will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2006.  The implementation of FAS123R will have a negative impact in the form of more non-cash compensation in the future.

 

Other Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

We currently depend on single source suppliers for critical raw materials for manufacturing. The loss of these suppliers could delay our clinical trials or prevent or delay commercialization of FavId.

 

We currently depend on single source suppliers for critical raw materials used in the manufacture of FavId. In particular, our manufacturing process for FavId requires a foreign protein derived from shellfish that is known as keyhole limpet hemocyanin, or KLH. We purchase KLH from biosyn Arzneimittel GmbH, or biosyn, which is currently the only supplier of KLH that has submitted the required filing, known as a drug master file, to the FDA. In November 2004, we entered into an eight-year supply and license agreement with biosyn under which biosyn has agreed to supply us with KLH and we have committed to annual KLH purchase requirements during the commercialization of FavId. An additional aggregate of up to $300,000 will be due upon the achievement of certain milestones, the timing of which is not known at this time. Either party may terminate the supply agreement upon a breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days or other events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy. If we identify another supplier of KLH of suitable quality for our purposes, we will not be able to use the supplier as a second source of KLH for the commercial manufacture of FavId unless the KLH is tested to be comparable to the existing KLH.

 

In addition, we depend on a single source supplier for the cell growth media we use to produce FavId. We purchase this material from Expression Systems LLC, which in turn obtains several of the components used in the cell growth media from sole suppliers. We currently rely on purchase orders to obtain this material and do not have a supply agreement with Expression Systems. We intend to

 

26



 

qualify a second source for the cell growth media or manufacture the cell growth media in house from commercially available raw materials but may not be able to do so.

 

Establishing additional or replacement suppliers for these materials may take a substantial amount of time. In addition, we may have difficulty obtaining similar materials from other suppliers that are acceptable to the FDA. If we have to switch to a replacement supplier, we may face additional regulatory delays and the manufacture and delivery of FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, could be interrupted for an extended period of time, which may delay completion of our clinical trials or commercialization. If we are unable to obtain adequate amounts of these materials, our clinical trials will be delayed. In addition, we will be required to obtain regulatory clearance from the FDA to use different materials that may not be as safe or as effective. As a result, regulatory approval of FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, may not be received at all.

 

We rely on third parties to conduct our clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may be delayed or may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

Our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId for the treatment of follicular B-cell NHL is being conducted at 67 centers in the United States and will require long-term follow up of at least 342 evaluable patients. Two clinical trials of FavId are being conducted under the direction of a physician sponsor, rather than under our supervision. We do not have the ability to independently conduct clinical trials for FavId, or any other product candidate that we may develop, and we must rely on third parties, such as medical institutions and clinical investigators, including physician sponsors, to conduct our clinical trials. In particular, we will rely on these parties to recruit and enroll patients in our clinical trials. We also rely on third-party couriers to transport patient tissue samples and FavId. If any of the third parties upon whom we rely to conduct our clinical trials or transport patient tissue samples and immunotherapies do not comply with applicable laws, successfully carry out their obligations or meet expected deadlines, and need to be replaced, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed or terminated.

 

If the quality or accuracy of the clinical data obtained by medical institutions and clinical investigators, including physician sponsors, is compromised due to their failure to adhere to applicable laws or our clinical protocols or for other reasons, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or successfully commercialize FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. If any of our relationships with any of these organizations or individuals terminates, we believe that we would be able to enter into arrangements with alternative third parties. However, replacing any of these third parties would delay our clinical trials and could jeopardize our ability to commercialize FavId and our other product candidates on a timely basis, or at all.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval, we will continue to be subject to extensive government regulation that may cause us to delay the introduction of our products or withdraw our products from the market.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval for FavId or our other product candidates, we will still be subject to extensive regulation. These regulations will impact many aspects of our operations, including production, record keeping, quality control, adverse event reporting, storage, labeling, advertising, promotion and personnel. In addition, the later discovery of previously unknown problems may result in restrictions of the product candidates, including their withdrawal from the market. Furthermore, regulatory approval may subject us to ongoing requirements for post-marketing studies. If we or any third party that we involve in our operations fail to comply with any continuing regulations, we may be subject to, among other things, product seizures, recalls, fines or other civil penalties, injunctions, suspensions or revocations of marketing licenses, operating restrictions and criminal prosecution.

 

Before we can obtain marketing approval for or commercially distribute FavId, we must have a commercial-scale facility for the manufacture of FavId. In addition, the FDA and the California Department of Health Services must find our manufacturing facility and process satisfactory.

 

Our manufacturing methods, equipment and processes must comply with the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMP, requirements. We may also need to perform extensive audits of vendors, contract laboratories and suppliers. The cGMP requirements govern, among other things, record keeping, production processes and controls, personnel and quality control. We have only undertaken initial steps towards achieving compliance with these regulatory requirements. Additional steps will require expenditure of significant time, money and effort. We cannot predict the likelihood that the FDA will find our facility satisfactory, even if we believe that we have taken the necessary steps to achieve compliance. If we fail to comply with these requirements or fail to pass a pre-approval inspection of our manufacturing facility in connection with an application to obtain marketing approval for FavId or another product candidate, we would not receive regulatory approval, and we would be subject to possible regulatory action.

 

We manufacture FavId for our ongoing Phase 3 and for the planned and ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trials at our facility in San Diego. We currently lease approximately 80,000 square feet of space in a facility in San Diego, California under a long-term lease agreement. This space is used for our corporate headquarters and manufacturing and laboratory facilities. Our manufacturing facility consists of approximately 26,000 square feet of space in the facility. Our manufacturing facility is subject to the licensing requirements of the

 

27



 

California Department of Health Services. Our facility was inspected and licensed by the California Department of Health Services. Our facility is subject to re-inspection at any time. Failure to maintain a license from the California Department of Health Services or to meet the inspection criteria of the California Department of Health Services would disrupt our manufacturing processes and prevent us from supplying FavId to patients. If an inspection by the California Department of Health Services indicates that there are deficiencies in our manufacturing process, we could be required to take remedial actions at potentially significant expense, and our facility may be temporarily or permanently closed.

 

We will need to either expand and qualify our current facility or construct and qualify a commercial scale manufacturing facility in order to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop. We believe our current facility could be used to manufacture FavId for initial commercial launch and plan to begin construction of the expanded manufacturing facility during the third quarter of 2006. We cannot assure you that we would be able to meet commercial demand for FavId in this facility. Additionally, we may require a larger production facility to meet the demand for FavId if it is approved. We would need to raise additional debt or equity capital to finance construction of the larger facility. Such financing may not be available or, if available, may not be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders.

 

Preparing a facility for commercial manufacturing may involve unanticipated delays and the costs of complying with FDA regulations may be significant. In addition, any material changes we make to the manufacturing process after approval may require approval by the FDA and state regulatory authorities. Obtaining these approvals is a lengthy, involved process, and we may experience delays that could limit our ability to manufacture commercial quantities, increase our costs and adversely affect our business.

 

We may experience difficulties in manufacturing FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, which could prevent us from completing our ongoing clinical trials and commercializing these product candidates.

 

Manufacturing FavId is a complex, multi-step process that requires us to expend significant time, money and effort in production, record keeping and quality systems to assure that FavId will meet product specifications and other regulatory requirements. To date, we have manufactured FavId only for use in Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials and have no experience in manufacturing FavId for the commercial quantities that might be required if we receive regulatory approval. In particular, we cannot be sure that we will be able to manufacture FavId at a cost that would enable commercial use. We may experience any of the following problems in our efforts to manufacture our product candidates for our expanding clinical trials or on a commercial scale:

 

failure to obtain a sufficient supply of key raw materials;

 

difficulties in completing the development and validation of the specialized assays required to ensure the consistency of our product candidates, including FavId;

 

difficulties in obtaining adequate tumor samples from treating physicians and hospitals;

 

difficulties in manufacturing FavId for multiple patients simultaneously;

 

difficulties in the timely shipping of tumor samples to us or in the shipping of FavId to the treating physicians due to errors by third-party couriers, transportation restrictions or other reasons;

 

failure to ensure adequate quality control and assurance in the manufacturing process as we increase the production quantities of FavId;

 

difficulties in establishing and effectively managing a commercial-scale manufacturing facility;

 

failure to comply with regulatory requirements, such as FDA regulations and environmental laws;

 

significant changes in regulatory requirements;

 

damage to or destruction of our manufacturing facility or equipment; and

 

shortages of qualified personnel.

 

In addition, because our manufacturing process only begins upon our receipt of a patient’s tumor biopsy, we cannot produce inventory reserves of our product candidate to be stored in anticipation of any of these potential manufacturing problems. The failure to produce an adequate supply of FavId could delay our clinical trials and, in turn, delay submission of a BLA for FavId and commercial launch.

 

28



 

Similarly, any difficulties we experience in the manufacture and supply of other product candidates, such as FAV-201, would delay the clinical trials of those product candidates.

 

If our manufacturing facility is damaged or destroyed, our ability to manufacture products will be significantly affected, which could delay or prevent completion of our clinical trials and commercialization of FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

We currently rely on the availability and condition of our manufacturing facility in San Diego to manufacture FavId. We lease the property where this facility is located under a lease agreement that expires June 30, 2025, but may be extended at our option for two additional five-year periods. After that time, we may not be able to negotiate a new lease for our facility. If the facility or our equipment in the facility is damaged or destroyed, we will not be able to quickly or inexpensively replace our manufacturing capacity. This would significantly affect our ability to complete clinical trials of, and to manufacture and commercialize, FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop.

 

In addition, our facilities have been subject to electrical blackouts as a result of a shortage of available electrical power. Although we have back-up emergency power generators to cover energy needs for key support systems, a lengthy outage could disrupt the operations of our facilities and clinical trials. While we carry business interruption insurance, this insurance may not be adequate. Any significant business interruption could cause delays in our product development and harm our business.

 

If we do not develop a sufficient sales and marketing force or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market FavId, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products, which would limit our ability to earn product revenues.

 

We plan to retain exclusive worldwide rights to FavId for oncology indications at least through the completion of our BLA filing with the FDA for approval to market FavId in the United States. If we are successful in obtaining BLA approval or foreign marketing approval for FavId, we will need to establish sales and marketing capabilities. In the United States, we plan to do this either by establishing our own sales force or by entering into a co-promotion arrangement with a sales and distribution partner. Outside of the United States, we plan to establish strategic collaborations for the development and marketing of FavId.

 

We do not presently possess the resources or experience necessary to market FavId or our other product candidates ourselves, and we currently have no arrangements for the promotion or distribution of our product candidates. Our future commercial success will depend on our ability to establish our own sales and marketing infrastructure or to collaborate with third parties that have greater sales and marketing experience and resources. Developing effective internal sales and marketing capabilities, which would include the hiring of a sales force, would require a significant amount of our financial resources and time.

 

We may be unable to establish and manage an effective sales force in a timely or cost-effective manner, or at all, and any sales force we do establish may not be capable of generating demand for FavId or any other product candidate we may develop. In addition, if we cannot enter into co-promotion arrangements in the United States, or other strategic collaborations for the development and marketing of FavId in other countries, in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, we may not be able to successfully commercialize FavId or any other product candidate that we may develop.

 

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 directly marketed and sold FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. If we are unable to establish adequate sales, marketing and distribution capabilities, independently or with others, we will not be able to generate product revenue and will not become profitable.

 

If physicians and patients do not use any of our products that may be approved, our ability to generate revenue in the future will be limited.

 

If approved, FavId and other product candidates that we may develop may not gain market acceptance among physicians, healthcare payors, patients and the medical community. Demand for any approved product that we may develop will depend on many factors, including:

 

our ability to provide acceptable evidence of safety and efficacy;

 

convenience and ease of administration;

 

availability of alternative treatments;

 

cost effectiveness;

 

29



 

continuing widespread use of Rituxan to treat our initial target disease market;

 

effectiveness of our regulatory and marketing strategies;

 

prevalence and severity of adverse side effects;

 

publicity concerning our products or competitive products; and

 

our ability to obtain third-party coverage or reimbursement.

 

Furthermore, to the extent FavId fails to gain market acceptance for its initial indication, it may be more difficult for us to generate sufficient credibility with physicians and patients to commercialize FavId for other indications.

 

If we are unable to obtain acceptable prices or adequate coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, our revenues and prospects for profitability will suffer.

 

Our ability to commercialize FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, depends on the extent to which coverage and reimbursement for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, will be available from:

 

governmental payors, such as Medicare and Medicaid;

 

private health insurers, including managed care organizations; and

 

other third-party payors.

 

Many patients will not be capable of paying for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, themselves and will rely on third-party payors to pay for their medical needs. The federal and state governments, insurance companies, managed care organizations and other third-party payors are actively seeking to contain or reduce costs of health care in the United States and exert increasing influence on decisions regarding the use of, and reimbursement levels for, particular treatments. Such third-party payors, including Medicare, are scrutinizing newly approved medical products and services and may not cover or may limit coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates. In particular, third-party payors may limit the indications for which they will reimburse patients who use FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop. Cost-control initiatives could cause us to decrease the price we might establish for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, which would result in lower product revenues. If the prices for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, decrease or if governmental and other third-party payors do not provide adequate coverage and reimbursement levels for FavId, or any other product candidates that we may develop, our revenue and prospects for profitability will suffer.

 

If we are unable to establish or manage strategic collaborations in the future, our revenue and product development may be limited.

 

Our strategy may include reliance on strategic collaborations for co-promotion of FavId in the United States. In addition, we expect to rely on strategic collaborators for commercialization of FavId outside of the United States and, to an even greater extent, for worldwide development and commercialization of product candidates and programs for chronic autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. To date, we have not entered into any agreements with third parties for any of these services and do not plan to establish a collaboration for FavId in the United States until at least completion of a BLA filing.

 

Establishing strategic collaborations is difficult and time-consuming. Our discussions with potential collaborators may not lead to the establishment of new collaborations on favorable terms, or at all. For example, potential partners may reject collaborations based upon their assessment of our financial, regulatory or intellectual property position. If we successfully establish new collaborations, these relationships may never result in the successful development or commercialization of our product candidates or the generation of sales revenue. To the extent that we enter into co-promotion or other collaborative arrangements, our product revenues are likely to be lower than if we directly marketed and sold any products that we may develop.

 

Management of any collaborative relationship we may establish in the future will require:

 

significant time and effort from our management team;

 

coordination of our research and development programs with the research and development priorities of our collaborators; and

 

30



 

effective allocation of our resources to multiple projects.

 

If we enter into development or commercialization collaborations, our success will in part depend on the performance of our corporate collaborators. We will not directly control the amount or timing of resources devoted by our corporate collaborators to activities related to our product candidates. Our corporate collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our research and development programs or the commercialization, marketing or distribution of our product candidates. If any corporate collaborator fails to commit sufficient resources, our preclinical or clinical development related to the collaboration could be delayed or terminated. Also, our collaborators may pursue development or commercialization of other products, product candidates or alternative technologies in preference to our product candidates. Finally, our collaborators may terminate our relationships, and we may be unable to establish additional corporate collaborations in the future on acceptable terms, or at all.

 

Our efforts to discover, develop and commercialize new product candidates beyond FavId are at an early stage and are subject to a high risk of failure.

 

Our strategy is focused on the research, development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. The process of successfully developing product candidates is very time-consuming, expensive and unpredictable. We have only recently begun to direct significant effort toward the development of product candidates in addition to FavId, such as FAV-201 for T-cell lymphoma and a preclinical product candidate for the treatment of multiple sclerosis. We do not know whether our planned preclinical studies or clinical trials for these other product candidates will begin on time or be completed on schedule, or at all. In addition, we do not know whether these clinical trials will result in marketable products. Typically, there is a high rate of attrition for product candidates in preclinical and clinical trials. We do not anticipate that any of our product candidates will reach the market for at least several years.

 

We may not identify, develop or commercialize any additional new product candidates from our proprietary active immunotherapy technology. Our ability to develop successfully any of these product candidates depends on our ability to demonstrate safety and efficacy in humans through extensive preclinical testing and clinical trials and to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA and other regulatory authorities. Development of our product candidates will also depend substantially upon the availability of funding for our research and development programs.

 

If our competitors develop and market products that are more effective than our existing product candidates or others we may develop, or obtain marketing approval before we do, our commercial opportunity may be reduced or eliminated.

 

The development and commercialization of new pharmaceutical products for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases is competitive, and we will face competition from numerous sources, including major pharmaceutical companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies worldwide. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources and development, production and marketing capabilities than we do. In addition, many of these companies have more experience than we do in preclinical testing, clinical trials and manufacturing of biologic therapeutics, as well as in obtaining FDA and foreign regulatory approvals. We will also compete with academic institutions, governmental agencies and private organizations that are conducting research in the fields of cancer and autoimmune disease. Competition among these entities to recruit and retain highly qualified scientific, technical and professional personnel and consultants is also intense.

 

We are aware of a number of companies that are developing active immunotherapies to treat B-cell NHL. Genitope Corporation is evaluating its idiotype immunotherapy product candidate in a Phase 3 clinical trial in patients with follicular B-cell NHL who are in remission following prior treatment with chemotherapy. Antigenics, Inc. completed a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its active immunotherapy candidate in indolent NHL patients. The NCI is also conducting a Phase 3 clinical trial of an active idiotype immunotherapy in collaboration with Accentia Biopharmaceuticals.

 

Several companies are engaged in the development and commercialization of passive immunotherapy products for the treatment of B-cell NHL that may compete with FavId. Genentech and Biogen Idec are co-marketing Rituxan for the treatment of relapsed or refractory, indolent B-cell NHL. Biogen Idec has also received FDA approval to market Zevalin, its passive radioimmunotherapy product. GlaxoSmithKline plc has received FDA approval to market Bexxar, a passive radioimmunotherapy product.

 

The most recent advances in the treatment of B-cell NHL have involved the combination of existing products and changes to approved schedules and doses, particularly for Rituxan. Numerous clinical trials reported in recent years have indicated that additional doses of Rituxan and maintenance dosing of Rituxan can improve TTP in patients who respond to therapy. Combination therapies involving chemotherapeutic or immunostimulatory drugs in combination with Rituxan at various doses and schedules may provide patients with an increase in TTP over that expected with Rituxan alone. Accordingly, we may face competition as a result of developments in this area.

 

We expect that our ability to compete effectively will depend upon our ability to:

 

31



 

successfully and rapidly complete clinical trials and obtain all requisite regulatory approvals in a cost-effective manner;

 

reliably and cost-effectively manufacture sufficient quantities of our products;

 

maintain a proprietary position for our manufacturing process and other technology;

 

price our products competitively;

 

obtain appropriate reimbursement approvals for our products;

 

establish an adequate sales and marketing force for our products; and

 

attract and retain key personnel.

 

In addition, our ability to compete effectively will depend on the relative efficacy and safety of other active immunotherapy products approved for sale as compared to our own products.

 

We are subject to new legislation, regulatory proposals and managed care initiatives that may increase our costs of compliance and adversely affect our ability to market our products, obtain collaborators and raise capital.

 

There have been a number of legislative and regulatory proposals aimed at changing the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry, including reductions in the cost of prescription products and changes in the levels at which consumers and healthcare providers are reimbursed for purchases of pharmaceutical products. For example, the Prescription Drug and Medicare Improvement Act of 2003 was recently enacted. This legislation provides a new Medicare prescription drug benefit beginning in 2006 and mandates other reforms. Although we cannot predict the full effects on our business of the implementation of this new legislation, it is possible that the new benefit, which will be managed by private health insurers, pharmacy benefit managers and other managed care organizations, will result in decreased reimbursement for prescription drugs, which may further exacerbate industry-wide pressure to reduce the prices charged for prescription drugs. This could harm our ability to market our products and generate revenues.

 

We depend on attracting and retaining key scientific and management personnel to advance our technology, and the loss of these personnel could impair the development of our products.

 

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. We are highly dependent upon our senior management and scientific staff, particularly John P. Longenecker, Ph.D., our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel P. Gold, Ph.D., one of our co-founders and our Chief Scientific Officer. The loss of services of Dr. Longenecker or Dr. Gold, or one or more of our other members of senior management, could delay or prevent the successful completion of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial or the commercialization of FavId. Although we have employment agreements with each of our executives, their employment with us is “at will,” and each executive can terminate his or her agreement with us at any time. We do not carry “key person” insurance covering members of senior management, other than Drs. Longenecker and Gold. This insurance may not continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms and may prove inadequate to compensate us for the loss of their services.

 

The competition for qualified personnel in the biotechnology field is intense. In particular, our manufacturing process depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified manufacturing and quality control personnel. We will need to hire additional personnel as we continue to expand our manufacturing, research and development activities. We may not be able to attract and retain quality personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for such personnel among biotechnology, pharmaceutical and other companies. We are not aware of any key personnel planning to retire or terminate their employment in the near future.

 

We will need to increase the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing growth.

 

As of December 31, 2005, we had 136 employees. Of these, 115 employees were in research and development comprised of 77 in manufacturing, quality control and quality assurance, 33 in research and process development, and five members of senior management. Of the remaining employees, three were members of senior management and 18 were in administration. We will need to expand our financial, managerial, operational and other resources in order to continue our clinical trials and commercialize FavId, FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on our management team, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. Our ability to commercialize FavId, FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop, and our future financial performance in general, will depend in

 

32



 

part on our ability to manage any future growth effectively. In order to meet these challenges, we would need to:

 

manage our clinical trials effectively;

 

manage our research and development efforts effectively;

 

develop our administrative, accounting and management information systems and controls; and

 

hire, train and integrate additional management, administrative, manufacturing and sales and marketing personnel.

 

We may not be able to accomplish these tasks, and our failure to accomplish any of them could harm our business or future prospects.

 

If we use biological and hazardous materials in a manner that causes injury or violates laws, we may be liable for damages.

 

Our research and development and manufacturing activities involve the use of biological and hazardous materials that could be dangerous to human health, safety or the environment. Although we believe our safety procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with federal, state and local laws and regulations, we cannot entirely eliminate the risk of accidental injury or contamination from the use, storage, handling or disposal of these materials. In the event of contamination or injury, we could be held liable for any resulting damages, and any liability could exceed our resources. We currently maintain property and casualty insurance coverage which covers liability for hazardous and controlled materials. However, this insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover our liability and we may not be able to obtain sufficient coverage in the future at a reasonable cost. In addition, we may incur significant costs complying with both existing and future environmental laws and regulations. In particular, we are subject to regulation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, or OSHA, and the Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, and to regulation under the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. OSHA, the EPA or other agencies may adopt regulations that adversely affect our research and development programs.

 

We face a risk of product liability claims and may not be able to obtain adequate insurance.

 

Our business exposes us to potential liability risks that may arise from the clinical testing of our product candidates and the manufacture and sale of any approved products. These risks will exist even with respect to those product candidates that are approved for commercial sale by the FDA and manufactured in facilities regulated by the FDA. Any product liability claim or series of claims brought against us could significantly harm our business by, among other things, reducing demand for our products, injuring our reputation and creating significant adverse media attention and costly litigation. Plaintiffs have received substantial damage awards in some jurisdictions against pharmaceutical companies based upon claims for injuries allegedly caused by the use of their products. Any judgment against us that is in excess of our insurance policy limits would have to be paid from our cash reserves, which would reduce our capital resources. We currently maintain clinical trial insurance , which covers liability for up to 561 patients in our clinical trials. Although we believe our current insurance coverage is adequate, we cannot be certain that it will be sufficient. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that our current insurance coverage will continue to be available, or that increased coverage, which will be necessary if we are able to commercialize our products, will be available in the future on reasonable terms, or at all. Further, we may not have sufficient capital resources to pay a judgment, in which case our creditors could levy claims against our assets, including our intellectual property.

 

We could be negatively impacted by future interpretation or implementation of federal and state fraud and abuse laws, including anti-kickback laws and other federal and state anti-referral laws.

 

If we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we will be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to healthcare fraud and abuse, including anti-kickback laws and physician self-referral laws. Violations of these laws are punishable by criminal and civil sanctions, including, in some instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state healthcare programs, including Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Administration health programs. Because of the far-reaching nature of these laws, we may be required to alter one or more of our practices to be in compliance with these laws. Healthcare fraud and abuse regulations are complex, and even minor, inadvertent irregularities can potentially give rise to claims that a statute or prohibition has been violated. Any violations of these laws, or any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If there is a change in law, regulation or administrative or judicial interpretations, we may have to change our business practices or our existing business practices could be challenged as unlawful, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, some allegations under these laws have been claimed to violate the False Claims Act, discussed in more detail below.

 

In addition, if we are able to commercialize FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, we could become subject to false claims litigation under federal statutes, which can lead to civil money penalties, criminal fines and imprisonment, and exclusion

 

33



 

from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal and state healthcare programs. These false claims statutes include the False Claims Act, which allows any person to bring suit on behalf of the federal government alleging the submission of false or fraudulent claims, or causing to present such false or fraudulent claims, under federal programs or contracts claims or other violations of the statute and to share in any amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. These suits against biotechnology companies have increased significantly in recent years and have increased the risk that a healthcare company will have to defend a false claim action, pay fines or be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal and state healthcare programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action. We cannot assure you that we will not become subject to such litigation or, if we are not successful in defending against such actions, that such actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we cannot assure you that the costs of defending claims or allegations under the False Claims Act will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property and Potential Litigation

 

If we are unable to obtain and maintain protection for our intellectual property, the value of our technology and products may be adversely affected.

 

Our business and competitive positions are dependent upon our ability to protect our proprietary technology. Our success will depend in large part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our product and technologies, preserve trade secrets and operate without infringing the intellectual property right of others. Because of the substantial length of time and expense associated with development of new products, we, along with the rest of the biopharmaceutical industry, place considerable importance on obtaining and maintaining patent protection for new technologies, products and processes. The patent positions of pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including us, are generally uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Our patent applications may not protect our technologies and products because, among other things:

 

there is no guarantee that any of our pending patent applications will result in issued patents;

we may develop additional proprietary technologies that are not patentable;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us, our collaborators or our licensors will provide a basis for a commercially viable product;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us or our collaborators or our licensors will provide us with any competitive advantage;

there is no guarantee that any patents issued to us or our collaborators or our licensors will not be challenged, circumvented or invalidated by third parties; and

there is no guarantee that any patents previously issued to others or issued in the future will not have an adverse effect on our ability to do business.

 

We attempt to protect our intellectual property position by filing United States patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our business. Currently we own U.S. Patent No. 6,911,204 concerning the treatment of NHL with our technology together with four pending United States patent applications covering methods of treating immune system diseases, including B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, using our proprietary immunotherapy production methods, as well as methods for combining the idiotype immunotherapies with other therapies that are used to treat diseases of the immune system.

 

We also have three issued patents and 19 patent applications pending outside of the United States, and have received a notice that one  of these applications will issue as a patent. Limitations on patent protection in some countries outside the United States, and the differences in what constitutes patentable subject matter in these countries, may limit the protection we have under patents issued to us outside of the United States. In addition, laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as would laws of the United States. In determining whether or not to seek a patent or to license any patent in a particular foreign country, we weigh the relevant costs and benefits, and consider, among other things, the market potential of our product candidates in the jurisdiction, and the scope and enforceability of patent protection afforded by the law of the jurisdiction. Failure to obtain adequate patent protection for our proprietary product candidates and technology would impair our ability to be commercially competitive in these markets.

 

Although we believe our issued patents, as well as our patent applications if they issue as patents, will provide a competitive advantage, we may not be able to develop additional patentable products or processes. Further, we may not be able to obtain patents from any of the pending applications. Even if patent claims are allowed, the claims may not issue, or in the event of issuance, may not be sufficient to protect our technology. In addition, any patents or patent rights we obtain may be circumvented, challenged or invalidated by our competitors.

 

34



 

We are not able to prevent others, including potential competitors, from using certain types of patient-specific idiotype protein-KLH conjugates, like those we use in our lead product candidate, FavId, for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL.

 

Certain types of patient-specific idiotype-KLH conjugates, comprising single idiotype proteins, and their use for the treatment of indolent B-cell NHL are in the public domain and therefore cannot be patented. Consequently, we may only be able to seek patent protection for methods of treating immune system diseases, including B-cell and T-cell lymphomas, using our proprietary immunotherapy production methods for making idiotype protein conjugates and compositions comprising such conjugates, as well as methods for combining the idiotype or T-cell receptor-based immunotherapies with other therapies that are used to treat diseases of the immune system. As a result, we may not be able to prevent other companies using different manufacturing processes from developing active immunotherapies that directly compete with FavId.

 

We may have to engage in costly litigation to enforce our proprietary rights or to defend challenges to our intellectual property by our competitors, which may harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

 

The pharmaceutical field is characterized by a large number of patent filings involving complex legal and factual questions, and, therefore, we cannot predict with certainty whether our patents will be enforceable. Competitors may have filed applications for or have been issued patents and may obtain additional patents and proprietary rights related to products or processes that compete with or are similar to ours. We may not be aware of all of the patents potentially adverse to our interests that may have been issued to others. Litigation may be necessary to protect our patent position, and we cannot be certain that we will have the required resources to pursue litigation or otherwise to protect our patent rights. In addition, our efforts to protect our patents may not be successful.

 

Our ability to market our products may be impaired by the intellectual property rights of third parties.

 

Our commercial success will depend in part on not infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. We are aware of competing intellectual property relating to active idiotype immunotherapies for cancer. Competitors or third parties may be issued, or may currently hold, patents that may cover subject matter that we use in developing the technology required to bring our product candidates to market, that we use in producing our product candidates, or that we use in treating patients with our product candidates. In addition, from time to time we receive correspondence inviting us to license patents from third parties. While we currently believe we have freedom to operate in our area, others may challenge our position in the future. There has been, and we believe that there will continue to be, significant litigation in the pharmaceutical industry regarding patent and other intellectual property rights.

 

While we believe that our pre-commercialization activities fall within the scope of an available exemption against patent infringement provided by 35 U.S.C. §271(e), and that our subsequent manufacture of our commercial products will also not require the license of any patents, claims may be brought against us in the future based on these or other patents held by others. As our product candidates progress toward commercialization, competitors or other parties may assert that we infringe on their patents or proprietary rights.

 

In particular, we are aware of the following third party patents:

 

                                          Genentech and City of Hope National Medical Center hold patent rights related to the expression of recombinant antibodies;

                                          Genitope holds patent rights relating to immunotherapy using idiotype proteins produced using T-lymphoid cells for the treatment of B-Cell lymphoma;

                                          Schering Corp. holds patent rights relating to the use of GM-CSF as a vaccine adjuvant for use against infectious diseases.

 

The first patent listed above was issued to Genentech in 2001. We do not believe that this patent covers our technology, and we note that in May 2005, a third party filed a request for reexamination of this patent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, requesting that the claims of this patent be reexamined as to their patentability. If this patent reissues and we decide to attempt to obtain a license for this patent, we cannot guarantee that we would be able to obtain such a license on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

 

Additionally, because patent prosecution can proceed in secret prior to issuance of a patent, third parties may obtain other patents with claims of unknown scope relating to our product candidates, which they could attempt to assert against us. Further, as we develop our products, we may infringe the current patents of third parties or patents that may issue in the future. Third parties could bring legal actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin clinical testing, manufacturing and marketing of the affected product or products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, in addition to any potential liability for damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the affected product, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties or grant cross-licenses to our patents. However, there can be no assurance that any such license will be available on acceptable terms or at all. To enforce patents issued to us or to determine the scope and validity of other parties’ proprietary rights, we may also become

 

35



 

involved in litigation or in interference proceedings declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which could result in substantial costs to us, regardless of the outcome of the litigation, or an adverse decision as to the priority of our inventions. Ultimately, as a result of patent infringement claims, our business could be harmed and we could be prevented from commercializing a product, or forced to cease some aspect of our business operations.

 

If we are not able to protect and control unpatented trade secrets, know-how and other technological innovation, we may suffer competitive harm.

 

We also rely on trade secrets to protect our technology, particularly when we do not believe that patent protection is appropriate or available. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We attempt to protect our trade secrets by requiring each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a non-disclosure and assignment of invention agreement before beginning his or her employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. We cannot guarantee that these agreements will provide meaningful protection, that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have an adequate remedy for any such breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or independently developed by a third party. Our trade secrets, or those of our future collaborators, may become known or may be independently discovered by others, which could adversely affect the competitive position of our product candidates.

 

Risks Related to the Securities Markets and Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

There has been no prior public market for our common stock, and the price of our common stock may be volatile and could decline significantly.

 

Until our IPO in February 2005, there was no public market for our common stock, and despite our IPO, an active public market for these shares may not develop or be sustained. Our stock price has traded in the range of $7.77 - $3.20 from the commencement of our IPO on February 2, 2005 to March 23, 2006.

 

The stock market in general has been experiencing dramatic fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of companies. The market prices for securities of biotechnology companies in general have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future. If market-based or industry-based volatility continues, the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly, independent of our actual operating performance, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly as a result of several factors, including:

 

announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;

 

announcement of FDA approval or non-approval of FavId or any other product candidates that we may develop, or delays in the FDA review process;

 

actions taken by regulatory agencies with respect to FavId and FAV-201, or any other product candidates that we may develop, or our clinical trials, manufacturing process or sales and marketing activities;

 

regulatory developments in the United States and foreign countries;

 

success of our research efforts and clinical trials;

 

any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;

 

announcements concerning our competitors, or the biotechnology or biopharmaceutical industries in general;

 

actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results;

 

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

 

36



 

loss of any of our key scientific or management personnel.

 

Specifically, you may not be able to resell your shares at or above the price you paid for such shares. In addition, 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 and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could hurt our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

Concentration of ownership among our existing officers, directors and principal stockholders may prevent other stockholders from influencing significant corporate decisions and depress our stock price.

 

As of December 31, 2005, our officers and directors, stockholders affiliated with our directors and those stockholders owning at least ten percent of our outstanding capital stock together beneficially held approximately 61.8% of our outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis. If some or all of these officers, directors and principal stockholders act together, they will be able to exert a significant degree of influence over our management and affairs and over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors, the merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. The interests of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of our other stockholders. For instance, officers, directors and principal stockholders, acting together, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider. Similarly, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us otherwise favored by our other stockholders. This concentration of ownership also could depress our stock price.

 

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws and applicable Delaware law may prevent or discourage third parties or our stockholders from attempting to replace our management or influencing significant decisions.

 

Provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us or our management, even if doing so would be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

 

dividing our board of directors into three classes serving staggered three-year terms;

 

authorizing our board of directors to issue preferred stock without stockholder approval;

 

prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

 

prohibiting stockholder actions by written consent;

 

limiting the persons who may call special meetings of stockholders;

 

prohibiting our stockholders from making certain changes to our certificate of incorporation or bylaws except with 66.7% stockholder approval; and

 

requiring advance notice for raising business matters or nominating directors at stockholders’ meetings.

 

We are also subject to provisions of the Delaware corporation law that, in general, prohibit any business combination with a beneficial owner of 15% or more of our common stock for five years unless the holder’s acquisition of our stock was approved in advance by our board of directors. Together, these charter and statutory provisions could make the removal of management more difficult and may discourage transactions that otherwise could involve payment of a premium over prevailing market prices for our common stock.

 

Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We have never paid or declared any cash dividends on our capital stock and intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. The payment of dividends by us on our common stock is limited by our debt agreements. We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.

 

We may incur increased costs as a result of recently enacted and proposed changes in laws and regulations.

 

Recently enacted and proposed changes in the laws and regulations affecting public companies, including the provisions of the

 

37



 

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and rules related to corporate governance and other matters subsequently adopted by the SEC and the Nasdaq Stock Market, could result in increased costs to us. The new rules and any related regulations that may be proposed in the future could make it more difficult or more costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. The impact of these events could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our board of directors, our board committees or as executive officers. We are presently evaluating and monitoring developments with respect to new and proposed rules and cannot predict or estimate the amount of the additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

 

Item 1B.                          Unresolved Staff Comments

 

None.

 

Item 2.                                   Properties

 

We lease approximately 80,000 square feet of space in San Diego, California under a lease agreement that expires on June 30, 2025, but may be extended at our option for two additional five-year periods. Included in our current lease agreement is a commitment to lease an adjacent 48,000 square foot facility upon termination of an existing lease between the landlord and a third party. If the landlord is unable to negotiate an early termination, then the third party lease will expire on November 30, 2006 and the landlord will deliver the additional space to us at that time. The lease term on the adjacent facility expires June 30, 2025, but may be terminated, at no cost to us, as of June 1, 2017, upon six months’ prior notice to the landlord. Currently, the 80,000 square feet of space houses our corporate offices and our manufacturing and laboratory facilities. We plan to dedicate the existing 80,000 square feet of space for the commercial-scale manufacturing of FavId if it is approved and to continue to support additional clinical trials. Construction of improvements for the expansion of manufacturing capacity in our facility is planned to begin June 2006. We plan to devote the adjacent 48,000 square foot facility to support our corporate headquarters and research and warehousing operations.

 

Item 3.                                   Legal Proceedings

 

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceeding. We may be subject to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business from time to time.

As of March 23, 2006 we had outstanding 28,920,426 shares of common stock held by approximately 2,600 stockholders including beneficial owners of the common stock whose shares are held in the names of various dealers, clearing agencies, banks brokers and other fiduciaries.

 

Dividends

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock. The payment of dividends by us on our common stock is limited by our debt agreements. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of our business. We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination related to dividend policy will be made at the discretion of our board of directors.

 

Use of Proceeds from the Sale of Registered Securities

 

Our initial public offering of our common stock, par value $0.001, was effected through a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-114299) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 2, 2005. Our initial public offering commenced on February 2, 2005. On February 7, 2005, 6,000,000 shares of our common stock were sold for an aggregate offering price of $42.0 million. On March 7, 2005, 285,000 shares of our common stock were sold for an aggregate offering price of $2.0 million upon the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Our initial public offering resulted in aggregate proceeds to us of approximately $39.4 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions of approximately $3.1 million and offering expenses of approximately $1.4 million, through a syndicate of underwriters managed by Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc., CIBC World Markets Corp., Needham & Company, Inc. and A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.

 

No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or person owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates. All offering expenses were paid directly to others.

 

We had invested $40.9 million in proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, in government agency securities, corporate bonds and notes and money market funds. Through December 31, 2005, we used approximately $11.8 million of the proceeds from our initial public offering to develop and prepare for filing a biologic license application, or BLA, for regulatory approval of FavId, for development of our other product candidates, for general and administrative expenses, and for working capital, including debt repayments.

 

The foregoing payments were direct payments made to third parties who were not our directors or officers (or their associates), persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or any other affiliate, except that the proceeds used for salaries expense included regular compensation for our officers and directors. The use of proceeds does not represent a material change from the use of proceeds described in the prospectus we filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 3, 2005.

 

Issuer Purchase Of Equity Securities

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2005, we repurchased 2,219 restricted shares of common stock from employees whose employment had terminated. These restricted common stock shares had been issued upon the early exercise of employee options and upon termination had not yet vested.

Item 7.                                   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis together with our financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. As a result of several factors, including those set forth under Item 1A of Part I and elsewhere in this Report, our actual results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

We are a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and other diseases of the immune system. We have developed a proprietary technology that enables us to manufacture active immunotherapy products that are designed to stimulate a patient’s immune system to mount a specific and sustained response to disease. Our lead product candidate, FavId, is an active immunotherapy for the treatment of B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, or NHL. FavId entered a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004 with a target of 342 eligible patients and completed patient enrollment in January 2006. In addition, FavId has been evaluated in several multi-center, open-label Phase 2 clinical trials involving more than 130 patients.

 

We believe FavId may be effective in treating other types of B-cell NHL. Five additional Phase 2 clinical trials of FavId are either ongoing or expected to begin during 2006. One of these clinical trials is being conducted under a separate physician-sponsored Investigational New Drug, or IND, application in the United States. A second of these is being conducted as a physician-sponsored clinical trial in Switzerland. Moreover, we believe our active immunotherapy expertise and proprietary manufacturing technology will enable us to develop additional product candidates for other oncology indications, such as T-cell lymphoma, and for autoimmune diseases, with an initial focus on multiple sclerosis. We are currently developing a second product candidate, FAV-201, for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma and intend to initiate a Phase 1/2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of FAV-201 in the first half of 2006. We have retained exclusive worldwide commercialization rights to all of our product candidates.

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in January 2000. As of December 31, 2005, we had not generated any revenues, and we had financed our operations and internal growth through private placements of our preferred stock, equipment and leasehold debt financings and the sale of common stock in our initial public offering or IPO in February 2005. We are a development stage company and have incurred significant losses since our inception in 2000, as we have devoted substantially all of our efforts to research and development activities, including clinical trials. As of December 31, 2005, our deficit accumulated during the development stage was approximately $115.4 million. We expect to incur substantial and increasing losses for the next several years as we:

 

continue to develop and prepare for the commercialization of our lead product candidate, FavId;

expand our research and development programs;

expand our current manufacturing capabilities to support commercial manufacturing of FavId; and

acquire or in-license oncology products that are complementary to our own.

 

41



 

Financial Operations Overview

 

Research and Development Expense.   Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with clinical trials of our product candidates, including the costs of manufacturing our product candidates, compensation and other expenses related to research and development personnel, facilities costs and depreciation. We charge all research and development expenses to operations as they are incurred. Our research and development activities are primarily focused on the development of FavId. We have completed enrollment in two Phase 2 clinical trials and continue to evaluate the results. We initiated our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of FavId following Rituxan in patients with follicular B-cell NHL in July 2004. We completed patient enrollment in the trial in January 2006.

 

From inception through December 31, 2005, we incurred costs of approximately $66.1 million associated with the research and development of FavId, which represents substantially all of our research and development costs to date. We expect our research and development costs to increase as we advance FavId and new product candidates into later stages of clinical development. While difficult to predict, we estimate that research and development costs required to complete the development of and file a Biologics Licensing Application, or BLA, for FavId will be an additional $65 million. We are unable to estimate with any certainty the costs we will incur in the continued development of other product candidates for commercialization. On an ongoing basis, we expect to expand our research and development activities to include clinical development of FAV-201 and preclinical research of treatments for autoimmune diseases, primarily multiple sclerosis.

 

Clinical development timelines, likelihood of success and total costs vary widely. Although we are currently focused primarily on FavId, we anticipate that we will make determinations as to which research and development projects to pursue and how much funding to direct toward each project on an on-going basis in response to the scientific and clinical success of each product candidate.

 

At this time, due to the risks inherent in the clinical trial process, product candidate completion dates and costs vary significantly for each product candidate and are difficult to estimate. The lengthy process of seeking regulatory approvals and the subsequent compliance with applicable regulations require the expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals for our product candidates could cause our research and development expenditures to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. We cannot be certain when any cash flows from our current product candidates will commence.

 

General and Administrative Expense.   General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and other expenses related to our corporate administrative employees, legal fees and other professional services expenses. We anticipate increases in general and administrative expenses as we add personnel and continue to develop and prepare for commercialization of our product candidates.

 

Stock-Based Compensation Expense.   Stock-based compensation expense represents the amortization of deferred stock-based compensation resulting from options, granted prior to our IPO, that  are considered compensatory because the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock for financial reporting purposes was greater than the exercise prices determined by the board of directors on the date of grant.

 

Interest Income. Interest income primarily consists of interest earned on our cash reserves, cash invested in money market funds, government securities, corporate notes and bonds and certificates of deposit.

 

Interest Expense.   Interest expense represents interest on our debt, including capital leases.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements:

 

Deferred Tax Asset Valuation Allowance.   Our estimate for the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets requires us to make significant estimates and judgments about our future operating results. Our ability to realize the deferred tax assets depends on our future taxable income as well as limitations on utilization. A deferred tax asset must be reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration. The projections of our operating results on which the establishment of a valuation allowance is based involve significant estimates regarding future demand for our products, competitive conditions, product development efforts, approvals of regulatory agencies and product cost. We have recorded a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, due to uncertainties related to

 

42



 

our ability to utilize our deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future. These deferred tax assets primarily consist of certain net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits.

 

Deferred Stock-Based Compensation.   In connection with the grant of stock options during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, we recorded $350,000 and $9.4 million, respectively,  in deferred stock-based compensation within stockholders’ equity, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation was reduced by amounts representing stock option cancellations and our repurchase of unvested restricted stock related to employee terminations of approximately $221,000 and $224,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. These options were considered compensatory because the deemed fair value of the underlying common stock for financial reporting purposes was greater than the exercise prices determined by the board of directors on the date of grant. The determination of the fair value prior to the Company’s IPO of the underlying shares of common stock involved subjective judgment and the consideration of a variety of factors, including the prices obtained in private placement transactions of other equity securities, and as a result the amount of the compensatory charge is not based on an objective measure such as the trading price of the common stock. As of December 31, 2005, we had an aggregate of $5.7 million of deferred stock-based compensation remaining to be amortized, as determined in accordance with APB 25.

 

Clinical Trial Accruals. In the normal course of business, we contract with numerous third-party clinical trial centers to perform various clinical trial activities in the on-going development of FavId. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and variation from contract to contract may result in uneven payment flows. Payment under the contracts depend on factors such as the completion of individual patient’s treatments and the related required documentation. We record expenses for contracted clinical trial costs based upon patient enrollment and the dates that they receive treatment. These costs are a significant component of research and development expenses. The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual services received and efforts expended. However, our estimates may not match the timing of actual services performed by the clinical trial centers, which may result in adjustments to our research and development expenses in future periods.

 

Short Term Investments.   We classify all of our short term investments as available-for-sale. We carry these investments at fair value, based on quoted market prices, and unrealized gains and losses are included in accumulated other comprehensive income which is reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The amortized cost of securities in this category is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretions of discounts to maturity. Such amortization is included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are recorded in our statement of operations. If we believe that an other-than-temporary decline exists, it is our policy to record a write-down to reduce the investments to fair value and record the related charge as a realized loss.

 

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosures presented above relating to them.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2005 to 2004

 

Research and Development.   Research and development expense increased from approximately $18.7 million in 2004 to $28.2 million in 2005. The increase of $9.5 million, or 51%, was primarily due to an increase of approximately $2.7 million in clinical trial site costs; an increase of $2.6 million associated with an increase in personnel from 92 employees to 115 employees to support our Phase 3 clinical trial initiated in July 2004; an increase of $2.2 million associated with supplies to support continued process and formulation development and the purchase of raw materials and supplies for our manufacture of Favid for our Phase 3 clinical trial, an increase of $1.0 million paid to third party vendors providing support services for our Phase 3 clinical trial, including randomization of patients, radiology and laboratory management; and an increase of $500,000 related to the operation of our manufacturing facility to support the production of FavId.

 

General and Administrative.   General and administrative expense increased from approximately $4.5 million in 2004 to $5.3 million in 2005. The increase of $800,000, or 18%, was primarily due to an increase of approximately $620,000 associated with an increase in personnel from 17 employees to 21 employees; an increase of approximately $640,000 in directors and officers liability insurance premiums and public company-related expenses incurred subsequent to our IPO; an increase of approximately $180,000  in recruiting and relocation expenses related to the increase in personnel;, an increase of approximately $157,000 in fees related to market research studies, all of which were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $790,000 due to non-recurring IPO related expenditures in 2004.

 

Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation.   In connection with the grant of stock options, we recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $350,000 and $9.4 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Deferred stock-based compensation was reduced by amounts representing stock option cancellations and our repurchases of unvested restricted stock of approximately $221,000 and $224,000 in 2005 and 2004, respectively. We recorded these amounts as components of stockholders’ equity and are amortizing the amounts, on a straight-line basis, as a non-cash charge to operations over the vesting period of the options. We recorded amortization

 

43



 

of stock-based compensation of $2.9 million and $2.4 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased from approximately $817,000 in 2004 to $703,000 in 2005. The decrease of $114,000, or 14%, was primarily due to repayments of approximately $5.5 million associated with our debt agreements with GE Technology Finance with interest rates ranging from 11.44% to 14.66%, offset by approximately $5.0 million of new borrowings under new debt agreements, with Oxford Finance Corporation (“Oxford”) and GE Capital Corporation with interest rates ranging from 9.34% to 10.93%.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased from approximately $375,000 in 2004 to $1.5 million in 2005. The increase of $1.1 million, or 300%, was primarily a result of the increase in interest rates during  2005 and the higher average cash, cash equivalents and short term investments balance of $46.0 million available for investment during 2005 as compared to $28.9 million in 2004. The higher cash, cash equivalents and short term investments is due to the addition of net proceeds of $39.4 million from our IPO in February 2005.

 

Comparison of Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2004 to 2003

 

Research and Development.   Research and development expense increased from approximately $10.5 million in 2003 to $18.7 million in 2004. The increase of $8.2 million, or 78%, was primarily due to an increase of $2.4 million associated with ongoing expenses for our new manufacturing facility, which our research and development staff began occupying in October 2003; an increase of $2.1 million associated with an increase in personnel from 61 full-time equivalent employees to 92 full-time equivalent employees to support our Phase 3 clinical trial initiated in July 2004; an increase of $1.4 million associated with supplies to support continued process and formulation development and the purchase of supplies for our manufacturing facility in anticipation of the Phase 3 clinical trial requirements; approximately $550,000 paid to third party vendors providing support services for our Phase 3 clinical trial, including randomization of patients, radiology and laboratory management services.

 

General and Administrative.   General and administrative expense increased from approximately $2.4 million in 2003 to $4.5 million in 2004. The increase of $2.1 million, or 89%, was primarily due to an increase of $839,000 associated with an increase in personnel from eight full-time equivalent employees to 17 full-time equivalent employees; an increase of $221,000 associated with our new manufacturing facility, which our administrative staff began occupying in May 2003; and an increase of $746,000 in initial public offering costs expensed in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A.

 

Amortization of Stock-Based Compensation.   We recorded deferred stock-based compensation of $9.4 million and $1.6 million in 2004 and 2003, respectively. We recorded these amounts as components of stockholders’ equity and are amortizing the amounts, on a straight-line basis, as a non-cash charge to operations over the vesting period of the options. We recorded amortization of stock-based compensation of $2.4 million and $155,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased from approximately $332,000 in 2003 to $817,000 in 2004. The increase of $485,000, or 146%, was primarily due to interest payments associated with our debt agreements with GE Technology Finance and Oxford Finance.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased from approximately $108,000 in 2003 to $375,000 in 2004. The increase of $267,000, or 247%, was primarily a result of interest income attributable to the $43.7 million in net proceeds received from the sale of our Series C preferred stock in March and April 2004.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

We have historically funded our operations primarily through the sale of our equity securities and equipment and leasehold debt financing. As of December 31, 2005, we had received proceeds from the sale of preferred stock of approximately $76.1 million, net of stock issuance costs of approximately $686,000, and proceeds from the sale of common stock in our IPO of approximately $39.4 million, net of underwriters’ discounts and commissions of approximately $3.1 million and offering expenses of approximately $1.4 million. In March 2006, we completed a private placement in which we issued and sold common stock and warrants to purchase common stock to certain investors, for an aggregate puchase price of approximately $45.4 million.

 

As of December 31, 2005, we had financed the purchase of equipment and leasehold improvements through debt totaling approximately $12.4 million, of which $6.1 million was outstanding at that date. These obligations are secured by certain purchased equipment and leasehold improvements and are due in monthly installments through May 2009. They bear interest at stated rates ranging from approximately 9.34% to 10.93%. The debt agreements subject us to certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2005, we were in compliance with the terms of the debt agreements.

Cash Flows

 

As of December 31, 2005, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were approximately $34.5 million as compared to $26.6 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of approximately $7.9 million. The increase resulted primarily from the $39.4 million  in net proceeds received from our IPO during the first quarter of 2005, partially offset by net cash used to fund ongoing operations.

 

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $29.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005 reflecting the net loss for this period of $35.9 million, offset primarily by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million,  stock-based compensation of $2.9 million and deferred rent of $527,000 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.3 million. Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $20.6 million and $12.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The increase in net cash used in operating activities was primarily due to the increase in our clinical development activities for FavId, including enrollment and completion of two Phase 2 clinical trials and our initiation of our pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial in July 2004 and the associated costs of manufacturing product for those trials.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $22.7 million reflecting primarily the purchase of $33.0 million of short-term investments and the purchase of approximately $1.8 million property and equipment, partially offset by the maturity of approximately $12.0 million in short-term investments. Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $5.6 million and $7.4 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used from investing activities is primarily due to the purchase of $4.3 million of property and equipment and $1.5 million in short-term investments. For the year ended December 31, 2003, net cash used from investing activities is the result of construction of leasehold improvements for our new manufacturing facility and the related equipment purchases of approximately $5.6 million. In addition, in 2003 we purchased approximately $1.6 million in money market fund investments to collateralize a letter of credit related to the lease agreement for our facility.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2005 totaled $39.4 million, reflecting primarily the net proceeds from our IPO during the first quarter of 2005 of approximately $39.4 million. Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $45.6 million and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. In 2004, the financing activities consisted primarily of net proceeds of approximately $43.6 million from the sale of our Series C preferred stock in March and April 2004 and net proceeds of debt financing of $3.7 million, offset by $2.1 in principal payments on the debt. In 2003, the financing activities consisted primarily of $5.4 million in proceeds from a line of credit for certain equipment and leasehold improvements and approximately $10.5 million in net proceeds from the sale of our Series B-2 preferred stock, partially offset by principal payments on our debt of $1.0 million.

 

Funding Requirements

 

Our future capital uses and requirements depend on numerous forward-looking factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:

 

magnitude and cost of our product development efforts and other research and development activities;

 

rate of progress toward obtaining regulatory approval for our product candidates;

 

costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing our patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

 

our ability to establish and maintain collaborative, licensing or other arrangements for the development, sale, marketing or distribution of our product candidates and the terms of those arrangements;

 

effects of competing technological and market developments; and

 

the success of the commercialization of FavId.

 

Until we can generate significant cash from our operations, we expect to continue to fund our operations with existing cash resources that were primarily generated from the proceeds of offerings of our equity securities and from equipment and leasehold improvement debt financing. In addition, we may finance future cash needs through the sale of other equity securities, strategic collaboration agreements and debt financing. However, we may not be successful in obtaining collaboration agreements, or in receiving milestone or royalty payments under those agreements. In addition, we cannot be sure that our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be adequate or that additional financing will be available when needed or that, if available, financing will be obtained on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research or development programs or to relinquish greater or all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development or

 

45



 

on less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. Failure to obtain adequate financing may also adversely affect our ability to operate as a going concern. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business.

 

As of December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we do not believe that we have invested in any variable interest entities. We do not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these relationships. We do not have relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationship with us or our related parties other than what is disclosed in Note 7 of the Notes to Financial Statements included elsewhere in this report.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

(1) Includes monthly principal and interest payments. The stated annual rates of interest on the loans range from 9.34% to 10.93%.

(2) Includes monthly principal and interest payments on capital leases. The effective annual rates of interest on the capital leases range from 5.18% to 21.67%.

(3) Includes an annual fee of $10,000 through our period of clinical development. Additional amounts due under the agreement beyond the clinical development period are based upon certain events occurring. As the timing of those events is unknown they have been excluded from the table.

 

Under terms of an existing supply agreement, we are obligated to pay fees of up to $300,000 based upon certain events occurring. As the timing of those events is unknown they have been excluded from the table.

 

We also enter into agreements with service providers and clinical sites that administer and conduct our clinical trials, respectively. We make payments to the service providers and sites based upon the number of patients enrolled. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, we had made aggregate payments of $5.1 million, $2.1 million and $738,000, respectively, in connection with our clinical trials. At this time, due to the variability associated with these agreements, we are unable to estimate with certainty the future patient enrollment costs we will incur and therefore have excluded these costs from the above table.

 

Purchase orders or contracts for the purchase of raw materials and other goods and services are not included in the table above. We are not able to determine the aggregate amount of such purchase orders that represents contractual obligations, as purchase orders may represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. Our purchase orders are based on our current manufacturing needs and are fulfilled by our vendors within relatively short time horizons.

 

As of December 31, 2005, we had $1.6 million in restricted cash associated with our facility lease.

Subsequent Event

 

On March 6, 2006, we entered into a securities purchase agreement relating to a private placement in which we issued and sold to certain investors, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $45.4 million, 8,555,133 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase up to 2,994,288 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $5.26 per share. At the closing, investors paid $5.26 per share of common stock purchased and an additional purchase price equal to $0.125 per share underlying the warrants.

 

The Company relied on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 30 days after closing covering the resale of the shares of common stock issued in the private placement and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement.

 

Each investor in the private placement represented that it was an accredited investor, as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Act, and that it was acquiring the common stock and warrants for investment only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate legends were affixed to the common stock and warrants issued in the private placement.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, or (SFAS No. 123R) SFAS No. 123R, which will be effective for our first quarter of 2006, requires that employee stock-based compensation is measured based on its fair-value on the grant date and is treated as an expense that is reflected in the financial statements over the related service period. SFAS No. 123R applies to all employee equity awards granted after adoption and to the unvested portion of equity awards outstanding as of adoption. We currently anticipate adopting SFAS No. 123R using the modified-prospective method effective January 1, 2006. While we are currently evaluating the impact on our financial statements of the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, we anticipate that our adoption of SFAS No. 123R will have a significant impact on our results of operations for 2006 and future periods although our overall financial position will not be effected.

 

In June 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections-a replacement of APB No. 20 and FAS No. 3” (“SFAS No. 154”). SFAS No. 154 provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. It establishes, unless impracticable, retrospective application as the required method for reporting a change in accounting principle in the absence of explicit transition requirements specific to the newly adopted accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 also provides guidance for determining whether retrospective application of a change in accounting principle is impracticable and for reporting a change when retrospective application is impracticable. The correction of an error in previously issued financial statements is not an accounting change. However, the reporting of an error correction involves adjustments to previously issued financial statements similar to those generally applicable to reporting an accounting change retrospectively. Therefore, the reporting of a correction of an error by restating previously issued financial statements is also addressed by SFAS No. 154. SFAS No. 154 is required to be adopted in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not believe its adoption will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

 

Item 7A.                          Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the market value of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds and direct or guaranteed obligations of the United States government. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and we do not believe that a 1% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income. As of December 31, 2005, all of our short-term investments were government agency securities and our cash equivalents were held in checking accounts, money market funds, commercial paper and government agency securities.

Item 9A.                          Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (collectively, our “certifying officers”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, our certifying officers concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and SEC reports.

 

We believe that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, therefore, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Favrille, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Favrille, Inc. (a development stage company) (the Company) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005 and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Favrille, Inc. at December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Favrille, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business

 

Favrille, Inc. (the Company or Favrille) was incorporated in Delaware on January 21, 2000. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of targeted immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer and diseases of the immune system. The Company’s lead product candidate, FavId, is based upon unique genetic information extracted from a patient’s tumor.  FavId is currently under investigation in a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for patients with follicular B-cell NHL and Phase 2 clinical trials in other B-cell NHL indications. The Company is developing additional applications based on its immunotherapy expertise and proprietary manufacturing technology, including a second product candidate, FAV-201, for the treatment of T-cell lymphoma.

 

The Company is a development stage company in the initial stage of its operations, and since inception, the Company has been engaged in organizational activities, including: recruiting personnel; establishing office facilities; conducting research and development and obtaining financing. From inception through December 31, 2005, the Company has incurred net losses of $87.2 million and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $115.4 million.

 

Financial Statements Preparation

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported results of operations.

 

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments

 

Highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised of commercial paper and U.S. government debt securities. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments. Investments with maturities greater than three months when purchased are classified as short-term investments. All of the Company’s short-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and are reported at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices, with any unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. Unrealized gains and losses on investments accounted for all of the accumulated other comprehensive loss balance in the Statement of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit). The Company manages its cash equivalents and short-term investments as a portfolio of highly marketable securities, all of which are intended to be available for the Company’s current operations.

 

Clinical Trial Accruals

 

In the normal course of business, we contract with numerous third-party clinical trial centers to perform various clinical trial activities in the on-going development of FavId. The financial terms of these agreements are subject to negotiation and variation from contract to contract may result in uneven payment flows. Payment under the contracts depend on factors such as the completion of individual patient’s treatments and the related required documentation.  We record expenses for contracted clinical trial costs based upon patient enrollment and the dates that they receive treatment.  These costs are a significant component of research and development expenses.  The objective of our accrual policy is to match the recording of expenses in our financial statements to the actual services received and efforts expended. However, our estimates may not match the timing of actual services performed by the clinical trial centers, which may result in adjustments to our research and development expenses in future periods.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments, that potentially subject the Company to significant credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash. The Company maintains cash deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. Management believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions in which those deposits are held. In addition, the Company invests in a variety of financial instruments and, by policy, limits the amount of credit exposure with any one issuer.

 

57



 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of cash equivalents, short-term investments, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair value because of the short-term nature of those items. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms, management believes the fair value of the long-term debt approximates its carrying value.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated on the basis of cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to seven years). Leasehold improvements are stated at cost and amortized over the shorter of the life of the lease term or the useful life of the asset.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company assesses the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through the undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. While the Company’s current and historical operating losses and cash flows are indicators of impairment, the Company believes the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value. Accordingly, there have been no indicators of impairment through December 31, 2005 or 2004.

 

Deferred Rent

 

Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense and amounts paid under the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred, and costs consist primarily of costs associated with the clinical trials of the Company’s product candidates, compensation and other expenses for research and development personnel, supplies, costs for consultants, facility costs, amortization of purchased technology and depreciation.

 

Patent Costs

 

Costs related to filing and pursuing patent applications are expensed as incurred as recoverability of such expenditures is uncertain.

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income, all components of comprehensive loss are reported in the financial statements in the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net loss and other comprehensive loss, including foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investments, are reported, net of their related tax effect, to arrive at comprehensive loss. The Company has disclosed its comprehensive loss in the statement of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records compensation expense for employee stock options based upon their intrinsic value on the date of grant pursuant to Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.  Prior to the IPO, the Company established the exercise price based on the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant as determined by the Board of Directors (the Board). In determining the fair value of the common stock, the Board considered (i) the advancement of the Company’s technology, (ii) the Company’s financial position and (iii) the fair value of the Company’s preferred stock as determined in arm’s-length transactions. Therefore, the options had no intrinsic value upon grant and no expense is recorded upon issuance. With respect to certain options granted during 2005 and 2004, the Company had recorded deferred compensation of $350,000 and $9.4 million, respectively, for the incremental difference at the grant date between the fair value per share determined by the Board and the deemed fair value per share determined solely for financial reporting purposes. Deferred stock-based compensation is recognized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the related options, generally four years.

 

Pro forma information regarding net loss is required by SFAS No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock-based employee compensation under the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123. The fair value of the options was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003:

The Company accounts for stock option grants and similar equity instruments granted to non-employees under the fair value method, in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and SFAS No. 123.

 

Had compensation cost for the Company’s outstanding employee stock options and purchases under the employee stock purchase plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for those options consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the pro forma effects of stock-based compensation on net loss and basic and diluted net loss per share would have been changed to the following:

The pro forma effect on net loss for all periods presented may not be representative of the pro forma effect on reported net income or loss in future years due to the uncertainty of stock option grant volume and potential change in assumptions driven by market factors.

 

Income Taxes

 

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, a deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured on the balance sheet date based upon enacted tax rates, which will be in effect when these differences reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period such tax rate changes are enacted. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized prior to its expiration.  A full valuation allowance was recorded on the Company’s net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, due to uncertainties related to the Company’s ability to utilize deferred tax assets in the foreseeable future.  These deferred tax assets primarily consist of certain net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credits.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share and Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 98. Basic loss per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, without consideration for common stock equivalents. Diluted loss per share includes the dilutive effect of common equivalent shares outstanding for the period determined using the treasury-stock method. For purposes of this calculation, common stock subject to repurchase by the Company, preferred stock, options and warrants are considered to be common stock equivalents and are only included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share when their effect is dilutive.

 

Pro forma net loss per share has been calculated as described above. The pro forma shares used to compute basic and diluted net loss per share represent the weighted-average common shares outstanding, reduced by the weighted-average unvested common shares subject to repurchase, and include the assumed automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of preferred stock that automatically converted into shares of common stock upon the closing of our initial public offering  (IPO), in February 2005, using the as-if converted method as of the date of issuance.

Segment Information

 

The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies its operating segments based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. The Company believes it operates in a single business segment, therefore this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As permitted by SFAS No. 123, we currently account for share-based payments to employees using APB No. 25’s intrinsic value method and as such, generally recognize no compensation cost for employee stock options.  In December 2004, the FASB revised Statement No. 123 (FAS 123R) Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of employee stock options and similar awards.  On April 15, 2005, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule amending the compliance dates for FAS123R.  In accordance with the new rule, the accounting provisions of FAS 123R will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2006.  The Company tentatively expects to adopt the provisions of FAS 123R using a modified prospective application.  FAS123R, which provides certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation among other changes, will apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and are subsequently modified or cancelled.  Compensation expense for outstanding awards for which the requisite service had not been rendered as of the effective date will be recognized over the remaining service period using the compensation cost calculated for pro forma disclosure purposes under FAS 123.  The impact of adoption of SFAS No. 123R cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future and the assumptions for the variables which impact the computation.  However, had the Company adopted SFAS 123R in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact under SFAS123 as described in the disclosure of proforma net loss and loss per share  Accordingly, the adoption of fair value method required under SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment, will have a significant impact on our results of operations, although it will have no impact on our overall financial position.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.   SFAS 154 changes the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle by requiring retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle unless impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Equipment Lines of Credit

 

During March 2003, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement under which the lender agreed to extend to the Company a line of credit equal to $7.0 million.  Borrowings under the line of credit bore interest at rates ranging from 11.44% to 14.66% per annum and were collateralized by certain items of the financed equipment and leasehold improvements. Principal and interest, related to each draw, were payable monthly over 36 months or 42 months, and the Company was required to make final terminal payments equal to 7.50% or 12.75% of the original principal amount of each drawdown.  Monthly payments were made from time of each drawdown through November 2005.  In December 2005, the Company repaid all of the outstanding principal and interest of approximately $2.9 million, of which approximately $200,000 had been prepaid at the time of the borrowings and an early termination fee of approximately $290,000, which the Company recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had borrowings outstanding under the line of credit of $4.6 million.

 

During December 2005, the Company entered into loan and security agreement with a lender and an amendment to a loan and security agreement with another lender (Agreements) under which the lenders agreed to extend to the Company a line of credit equal to $20.0 million.  As a condition of the Agreements, on December 30, 2005, the Company borrowed $3.0 million against the line of credit to repay the outstanding balance of existing loan and security agreements executed in March 2003.  Borrowings for this draw bear interest at a rate of 10.89% per annum, with principal and interest payable monthly over 24 months.  The Agreements state that the remaining proceeds are to be used solely for the purchase of eligible equipment and certain leasehold improvements through December 2007.  Borrowings against the line of credit will be structured as promissory notes with the interest rate fixed at the time of each draw based on the three-year treasury bill.  Such borrowings are to be secured by all existing and future assets of the Company excluding intellectual property and repaid, monthly, over 36 to 42 months, depending upon the nature of the equipment financed.  The Company has agreed not to pledge its intellectual property to any third party or permit a third party to restrict the Company’s ability to pledge its intellectual property.  However, the Company retains the right to grant non-exclusive licenses of its intellectual property in

 

63



 

the ordinary course of business and non-exclusive and exclusive licenses of its intellectual property in connection with joint ventures and corporate collaborations in the ordinary course of business.  The Company’s ability to borrow the remaining approximately $17 million available under the line of credit is contingent upon the Company obtaining at least $20 million in additional equity financing by March 31, 2006.  The Agreements contain a restrictive financial covenant requiring the Company maintain a minimum of $15.0 million in available cash, cash equivalent and short-term investment accounts.  In addition, the Agreements subject the Company to certain non-financial covenants.  As of December 31, 2005, the Company was in compliance with the terms of the Agreements.

 

During July 2004, the Company entered into a loan and security agreement under which the lender agreed to extend to the Company a line of credit equal to $2.5 million. In June 2005, the lender increased the line of credit by $1.6 million, which created a total line of credit facility of $4.1 million. The proceeds were used solely for the purchase of eligible equipment, leasehold improvements and software.  Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at 9.34% and 10.93% per annum and are collateralized by certain of the financed equipment. Principal and interest, related to each draw, are payable monthly over 36 months or 42 months. The loan and security agreement subjects the Company to certain financial and non-financial covenants. As of December 31, 2005, the

 

Company was in compliance with the terms of the loan and security agreement.  As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the Company had borrowings outstanding under the loan and security agreement totaling $3.3 million and $1.9 million respectively.

Leases

 

The Company leased its research facilities from a related party (Note 7) under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired on March 31, 2004. The lease required the Company to pay for its share of maintenance, insurance and property taxes. As a security deposit for the facility lease, the Company executed a letter of credit in favor of the landlord, secured by a certificate of deposit for approximately $45,000. The certificate of deposit matured in March 2004 and was not renewed.

 

In January 2003, the Company entered into a 15 and one-half year lease for approximately 49,000 square feet of manufacturing, laboratory and office space. The lease had stated rental increases over the lease term. Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Company was required to pay a security deposit of approximately $152,000 and execute a $1.5 million letter of credit in favor of the landlord, which is secured by a restricted investment in money market funds. The restricted investment is included in restricted cash in the accompanying balance sheets. The lease required the Company to pay for its share of maintenance, insurance and property taxes. In July 2004, the Company amended its current facility lease to add an additional 14,000 square feet of office space. The lease term on the additional space expired July 31, 2008, but could be extended at the Company’s option for two additional two year periods. In August 2005, the Company amended its current facility lease to add the remaining 17,000 square feet of space in order to occupy the entire building.  The lease term on the additional space expired January 31, 2007.  In November 2005, the Company terminated this lease upon executing an amended and restated lease agreement as noted below.

 

In November 2005, the Company entered into an amended and restated lease agreement (Lease Agreement) with its

landlord to expand its existing facility to support commercial-scale manufacturing of FavId.  This 80,000-square foot facility (Existing Facility) will be devoted to manufacturing .  The landlord will provide the Company with a tenant improvement allowance of $10

 

64



 

million for the Existing Facility.  In addition, the Company has committed to lease an adjacent 48,000-square foot facility (New

Facility) to house Favrille’s corporate headquarters and research and warehousing operations.  The landlord will provide the Company with a tenant improvement allowance of $1.2 million for the New Facility.

 

Existing Facility  Under the Lease Agreement, monthly base rent for the Existing Facility will average approximately $168,000 for the period November 2005 through January 2007.  Monthly rent will be approximately $288,000 per month beginning in February 2007 and then will increase by 3.5% annually commencing in February 2008.  The Lease Agreement further required the Company to increase the security deposit provided to the landlord from approximately $166,000 to approximately $355,000, upon execution of the Lease Agreement.  In addition, prior to any distribution of the tenant improvement allowance, the Company is required to deliver to the landlord an amendment to the existing letter of credit to increase the amount from approximately $1.5 million to approximately $3.5 million, which amount will be subject to increases, reductions and reinstatements under specified circumstances.  The Company is responsible for all operating costs and real estate taxes incurred with respect to the Existing Facility and is required to maintain insurance at specified minimum levels during the term of the Lease Agreement.  In addition, the Company is obligated to pay the landlord monthly management fees equal to 2.25% of the applicable base rent during the term of the Lease Agreement and an additional fee equal to 1% of the construction costs incurred in connection with tenant improvements.  Unless earlier terminated, the Lease Agreement will expire June 30, 2025, but the Company has the option to extend the term of the Lease Agreement for two additional five-year periods.  Construction of the tenant improvements is expected to begin in June 2006.

 

New Facility.  Upon termination of an existing lease between the landlord and a third party with respect to the New Facility, the Company and the landlord have committed to execute an amendment to the Lease Agreement (Amendment) pursuant to which the Company would lease the New Facility.  If the landlord is unable to negotiate such early termination, then the third party lease will expire on November 30, 2006 and the landlord has agreed to deliver the New Facility to the Company at that time.  The Amendment would provide for the Company’s lease of the New Facility to commence on the earlier of the 91st day after the landlord tenders possession of the New Facility to the Company for purposes of making tenant improvements (but in no event earlier than February 28, 2006) or March 1, 2007.  The base rent for the New Facility would increase by 3.5% annually commencing on the first anniversary of the commencement of the lease for the New Facility.  However, during the first 12 months of the lease, the Company would be obligated to pay only 50% of the base rent and operating expenses.  The provisions of the Lease Agreement regarding operating costs, real estate taxes, insurance, monthly management fees and tenant improvement fees for the Existing Facility would also apply to the New Facility.  Unless earlier terminated, the Company’s lease of the New Facility would expire on June 30, 2025, but the Company has the option to extend the term of the Lease Agreement for two additional five-year periods.  The Company would have a one-time right to terminate its lease of the New Facility effective as of June 1, 2017, upon six months’ prior notice to the landlord.

 

In May 2003, the Company entered into a 36-month capital lease for the purchase of certain property and equipment.  The lease bears an annual interest rate of 6.57%, with interest and principal due monthly.  In January 2004, the Company entered into two capital leases, for the purchase of certain property and equipment, with terms of 60 months and 36 months, respectively. The capital leases bear effective annual interest rates of 5.18% and 21.67%, respectively, with interest and principal due monthly.

4. License Agreements

 

In April 2002, the Company issued 40,867 shares of restricted common stock to a company whose major stockholder is a founder of Favrille, in exchange for a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free license for certain technology. The fair value attributed to the license of $21,000 was based on the fair value of the common stock as determined by the Board and is included in other assets and is being amortized over the estimated life of the technology, which is five years. Amortization of approximately $4,200, $4,200, $4,200 and $15,500 has been recorded as research and development expense during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, respectively.

 

In September 2003, the Company entered into an exclusive license and intellectual property assignment agreement with a non-profit organization with which the Company shares a common director (the License Agreement). Under the terms of the License Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property developed and or acquired by one of the Company’s founders while he was an employee of the licensor. In consideration for the licensed technology, the Company issued an aggregate of 38,553 shares of common stock to the licensor and one of its collaborators. The fair value attributed to the license of $24,000 was based on the fair value of the common stock as determined by the Board. The fair value of the license was charged to research and development expense in 2003 due to the early stage of development of the technology and the lack of alternative future uses for it.

 

In December 2003, the Company entered into a non-exclusive worldwide fee-bearing royalty-free license agreement for certain patent rights. In consideration for the patent rights, the Company paid an initial fee of $20,000 and the first annual payment of $10,000 upon execution of the agreement in 2003 and is committed to annual payments of $10,000 through the Company’s clinical development period (anticipated to end in 2007) and, after commercialization of its first product candidate, an aggregate of $225,000 in annual fees and a milestone payment. The annual payment is recorded as research and development expense. The initial fee has been recorded as a license fee and is amortized to research and development expense over a five-year period, the estimated life of the technology. Expense related to the license agreement for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $14,000, $14,000, and $1,200 and $29,200, respectively.

 

In November 2004, the Company entered into a supply and license agreement with one of its vendors in which it made a $50,000 milestone payment, upon execution of the agreement.  An additional aggregate of $300,000 may be due upon the occurrence of certain events. The initial term of the agreement is 96 months and is automatically renewable for 12 month periods unless terminated by written notice by either party.  Either party may terminate the agreement earlier upon a breach by the other party that is not cured within 60 days or other events relating to insolvency or bankruptcy. The initial milestone payment was recorded as a license fee and is amortized to research and development expense over an eight-year period, the initial term of the agreement.  During 2005, the Company purchased the required minimum raw material under the agreement.  Expense related to the agreement for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005 totaled approximately $241,000 and $1,000 and $242,000, respectively.

 

5. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Initial Public Offering

 

On February 7, 2005, the Company completed an initial closing of its initial public offering (IPO) in which it sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock for proceeds of $37.7 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and $1.4 million of offering expenses. In addition, on March 7, 2005, the Company completed an additional closing of its IPO in which it sold an additional 285,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the partial exercise by the underwriters of an over-allotment option which resulted in proceeds of $1.8 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

Authorized Capital Stock

Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock Deemed Dividend

 

The 2004 Series C financing, involved the sale of preferred stock at a price per share below the Company’s anticipated initial public offering price. Accordingly, pursuant to EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features, the Company recorded a deemed dividend on the Series C shares of $28.1 million, which is the difference in the gross proceeds from the Series C offering and the underlying value of the conversion shares (adjusted for a conversion price adjustment feature). The $28.1 million deemed dividend has been entirely recognized in the year ended 2004, as an adjustment to the net loss applicable to common stockholders since the preferred stock was convertible, at any time, at the option of the holder, and was not mandatorily redeemable. In accordance with EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the Company calculated the deemed dividend of $28.1 million using the most favorable conversion price of $6.33 per conversion share.

 

Convertible Preferred Stock

 

Effective immediately prior to the initial closing of the IPO in February 2005, shares of Series A, B, B-2 and C convertible preferred stock then outstanding were converted into an aggregate of 12,177,344 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

Restricted Stock

 

In January 2000, the Company issued approximately 396,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain employees with vesting over a three-year period. During 2002 and 2001, the Company issued an additional 9,638 and 50,119, respectively, of restricted shares of common stock to certain directors and consultants. The restricted stock vests monthly, over a period of two to four years. In addition, during 2005, 2004, 2003 and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the Company issued 1,536, 706,268, 5,065 and 942,950 shares, respectively, of restricted shares of common stock upon the early exercise of stock options, as noted below. The options generally vest over four years. Included in the restricted stock issued in 2002 are 185,060 shares of common stock issued upon the early exercise of options by an officer of the Company through a full recourse promissory note for $96,000. The note receivable from stockholder is reflected in stockholders’ equity in the accompanying balance sheets and has a maturity date of April 19, 2006. During the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004, 2003 and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the Company had repurchased approximately 12,188, 41,286, 1,687 and 59,077 unvested shares, respectively.

As amended, the 2001 Equity Incentive Plan (the Equity Incentive Plan) is authorized to issue approximately 2.8 million shares of common stock under various instruments. Options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan generally expire no later than ten years from the date of grant (five years for a 10% stockholder). Options generally vest over a period of four years. Prior to the Company’s IPO in February 2005, all options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan allowed for early exercise prior to the option becoming fully vested.

 

The exercise price of incentive stock options must be equal to at least the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the exercise price of non-statutory stock options may be no less than 85% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

In December 2004, the Board approved the 2005 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the Directors’ Plan), which became effective on the closing date (February 7, 2005) of the registration statement filed in connection with the Company’s IPO.

 

The Directors’ Plan provides for the automatic grant of non-statutory options to purchase shares of common stock to non-employee directors.  An aggregate of 420,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for future issuance under the Directors’ Plan.  This amount will be increased annually on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year, from 2005 to 2013, by the lesser of  90,000 shares of common stock or an amount determined by the Board.  As of December 31, 2005, no options to purchase common stock had been granted.

In December 2004, the Board approved the 2005 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the Purchase Plan) which became effective on the closing date (February 7, 2005) of the registration statement filed in connection with the Company’s IPO.

 

Under the Purchase Plan, the Company may issue up to 300,000 shares of common stock to eligible employees who elect to participate in the Purchase Plan.  This amount will be increased annually on the first day of the Company’s fiscal year, from 2005 to 2013, by the lesser of i) 2% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock on the day preceding such fiscal year, ii) 50,000 shares of Common Stock or iii) an amount determined by the Board.  Employees participating in the Purchase Plan will obtain the right to purchase shares of Common Stock at the lower of 85% of the Common Stock closing price on the first day of the offering period or 85% of the Common Stock closing price on the purchase date.  The initial offering period commenced upon the closing date (February 7, 2005) of the Company’s IPO and will be approximately 24 to 27 months in duration, with purchase dates occurring every six months.  As of December 31, 2005, employees had  purchased 27,050 shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Plan.

 

Warrants

 

In March 2001, in conjunction with its line of credit agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 40,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock at an exercise price of approximately $1.00 per share. The warrant is exercisable through the later of March 15, 2008 or five years after the Company’s initial public offering. The Company determined the fair value of the warrant on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, of $22,400, which was recorded as a debt discount and was amortized over the term of the line of credit. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants were a risk-free interest rate of 4.3%; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 60%; and an expected life of five years. Amortization of approximately $500, $4,900 and $22,400 was recorded as interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and for the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2004, respectively. On May 15, 2005, the warrant agreement was amended to allow the warrant holder to purchase up to an aggregate of 7,710 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of approximately $5.19 per share.  As of December 31, 2005, the warrant remained outstanding.

The warrants are exercisable through March 20, 2010. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, of $84,000, which is recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over the term of the loan and security agreement. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants were a risk-free interest rate of 3.0%; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 70%; and an expected life of five years. Amortization of approximately $17,000, $35,000, and $84,000 was recorded as interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and for the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, respectively.  Under the terms of the warrant agreement, upon the Company completing it IPO, the underlying preferred stock shares of the warrants converted into common stock shares.  As a result, the underlying warrants were converted into warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 22,121 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of approximately $6.33 per share.  As of December 31, 2005, the warrants remained outstanding.

 

In December 2005, in conjunction with a loan and security agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 97,668 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of approximately $4.10 per share. The warrants are exercisable through December 30, 2010. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes pricing model, of $241,000, which is recorded as a debt discount and is being amortized over 24 months, which is equal to the repayment term of the promissory note under the loan and security agreement. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the warrants were a risk-free interest rate of 4.35%; dividend yield of 0%; expected volatility of 70%; and an expected life of five years.  As of December 31, 2005, the warrants remained outstanding and no interest expense had been recorded.

In July 2004 and July 2005, the Company entered into consulting agreements with a family member of one of its executive officers (the Consultant) to provide agreed upon services to the Company and receive compensation based upon an hourly rate.  The term of the consulting agreements are one year but the agreements automatically renew in one year increments unless otherwise terminated by the parties.  The Consultant is no longer providing services under the July 2004 agreement.  The July 2005 agreement was terminated in March 2006.  For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the period from January 21, 2000 (inception) to December 31, 2005, the Company paid the Consultant approximately $75,000, $19,000 and $94,000 respectively, including reimbursement of ordinary business expenses.

EX-4.6 2 a06-2170_1ex4d6.htm INSTRUMENTS DEFINING THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS, INCLUDING INDENTURES

Exhibit 4.6

 

COMMON STOCK WARRANT

 

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

Dated:

  December 30, 2005

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, General Electric Capital Corporation, (“Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase that number of shares as set forth in Section 1 of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (the “Shares” or the “Common Stock”) of FAVRILLE INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” shall mean the Company’s presently authorized Common Stock.

 

1.             Warrant Price and Number of Shares.  The Warrant Price per share shall initially be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below. The Closing Date shall be deemed to be the actual “as of date” of the December 2005 Amendment between Holder and the Company. The Number of Shares shall equal Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) divided by the Warrant Price per share.

 

2.             Conditions to Exercise.  The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending on 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard time on the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of this Warrant.

 

3.             Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant.

 

(a)           Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto) at the principal office of the Company (as set forth in Section 19 below) and by payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder hereof, or as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 10 days after exercise of the Warrant and at the Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within 10 days after exercise of the Warrant.

 

(b)           Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

1



 

Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

 

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

 

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

 

B = Warrant Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(c)           Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 3, Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock shall mean:

 

(i)            If the Common Stock is traded on Nasdaq or Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, the per share Fair Market Value for the Common Stock will be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value; or

 

(ii)           In any other instance, the per share Fair Market Value for the Common Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors unless Holder elects to have such fair market value determined by an appraiser, which election must be made by Holder within ten (10) business days of the date the Company notifies Holder of the fair market value as determined by its Board of Directors. In the event of such an appraisal, the cost thereof shall be borne by the Holder unless such appraisal results in a fair market value in excess of 115% of that determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in which event the Company shall bear the cost of such appraisal.

 

In the event of 3(c)(ii) above, the Company’s Board of Directors shall prepare a certificate, to be signed by an authorized Officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and method of determination of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. The Board will also certify to the Holder that this per share Fair Market Value will be applicable to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock that require a fair market value determination as of the same date as Holder.

 

(d)           Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be automatically exercised in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration.

 

4.             Representations and Warranties of Holder and Restrictions on Transfer Imposed by the Securities Act of 1933.

 

(a)           Representations and Warranties by Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

 

(i)            The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to the Company so that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its interests. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

2



 

(ii)           The Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

 

(iii)          The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”) which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, in case the securities have been held for more than one but less than two years, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or in a transaction directly with a “market maker” (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares or other securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

 

(iv)          The Holder further understands that at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which such a sale may be effected, and that even if such a public market exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 unless a) a one-year minimum holding period has been satisfied and b) the Holder was not at the time of the sale nor at any time during the three-month period prior to such sale an affiliate of the Company.

 

(v)           The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which it believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description.

 

(vi)          This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company) and the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant. The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any other affiliate of Holder. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144, including without limitation, the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c), Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144(d) and (e) in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144(f), and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s notice of proposed sale.

(b)           Legends. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be endorsed with the following legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, A “NO ACTION” LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER, A TRANSFER MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR (IF REASONABLY REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

 

The Company need not enter into its stock register a transfer of Securities unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of any of the Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

 

(c)           Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of this Warrant and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities represented by such certificate shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the Holder of the Securities if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available or (ii) the Holder provides to the Company an opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or a no-action letter or interpretive opinion of the staff of the SEC reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction such as Rule 144.

 

5.             Condition of Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. It shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or exercise, the Holder shall provide the Company with a representation in writing that the Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any sale or distribution, or will provide the Company with a statement of pertinent facts covering any proposed distribution. As a further condition to any transfer of this Warrant or any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, other than a transfer registered under the Act, the Company must have received a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, reciting the pertinent circumstances surrounding the proposed transfer and stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Each certificate evidencing the shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant or upon any transfer of the shares (other than a transfer registered under the Act or any subsequent transfer of shares so registered) shall, at the Company’s option, contain a legend in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, restricting the transfer of the shares to sales or other dispositions exempt from the requirements of the Act.

 

As further condition to each transfer, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company and the transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like tenor and date, executed by the Company.

 

6.             Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

7.             Adjustment for Certain Events.  In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the

 

4



 

Warrant in the aggregate and the Warrant Price shall be correspondingly adjusted, as appropriate, by the Board of Directors of the Company. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of this Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Warrant Price the total number, class and kind of shares as it would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had it continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

 

8.             Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to the Holder of this Warrant as set forth in Section 19 hereof.

 

9.             Intentionally omitted.

 

10.           Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of the Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 5 and applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred.

 

11.           Intentionally omitted.

 

12.           No Fractional Shares.  No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

 

13.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder.

 

14.           No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

 

15.           Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the Company, and the Company and Holder shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

 

16.           Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu hereof.

 

17.           Miscellaneous.

 

(a)           Issue Date.  The provisions of this Warrant shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respect as if it had been issued and delivered by the Company on the date hereof.

(d)           Headings.  The headings used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.

 

(e)           Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays.  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall be a Saturday or a Sunday or shall be a legal holiday in the State of California, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day not a legal holiday.

 

18.           No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action including, without limitation, amending its articles or certificate of incorporation or by-laws, any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of the Warrant or impair the ability of the Holder(s) to realize upon the intended economic value hereof, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder(s) hereof against impairment.

 

19.           Addresses. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed by overnight courier, registered or certified mail, return receipt required, and postage pre-paid, or otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger, addressed as set forth below, or at such other address as the Company or the Holder hereof shall have furnished to the other party.

Exhibit 4.7

 

COMMON STOCK WARRANT

 

NEITHER THIS WARRANT NOR THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS WARRANT HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. NO SALE OR DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT OR WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER, SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE ACT OR RECEIPT OF A NO-ACTION LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

WARRANT TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

 

Dated:

  December 30, 2005

 

THIS CERTIFIES THAT, for value received, Oxford Finance Corporation, (“Holder”) is entitled to subscribe for and purchase that number of shares as set forth in Section 1 of the fully paid and nonassessable Common Stock (the “Shares” or the “Common Stock”) of FAVRILLE INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), at the Warrant Price (as hereinafter defined), subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. As used herein, the term “Common Stock” shall mean the Company’s presently authorized Common Stock.

 

1.             Warrant Price and Number of Shares.  The Warrant Price per share shall initially be deemed to be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock over the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to the Closing Date, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 below. The Closing Date shall be deemed to be the actual “as of date” of the December 2005 Amendment between Holder and the Company. The Number of Shares shall equal Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) divided by the Warrant Price per share.

 

2.             Conditions to Exercise.  The purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part during the term commencing on the date hereof and ending on 5:00 P.M. Eastern Standard time on the fifth (5th) annual anniversary of this Warrant.

 

3.             Method of Exercise; Payment; Issuance of Shares; Issuance of New Warrant.

 

(a)           Cash Exercise. Subject to Section 2 hereof, the purchase right represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder hereof, in whole or in part, by the surrender of this Warrant (with a duly executed Notice of Exercise in the form attached hereto) at the principal office of the Company (as set forth in Section 19 below) and by payment to the Company, by check, of an amount equal to the then applicable Warrant Price per share multiplied by the number of shares then being purchased. In the event of any exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant, certificates for the shares of stock so purchased shall be in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder hereof, or as such Holder may direct (subject to the terms of transfer contained herein and upon payment by such Holder hereof of any applicable transfer taxes). Such delivery shall be made within 10 days after exercise of the Warrant and at the Company’s expense and, unless this Warrant has been fully exercised or expired, a new Warrant having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant and representing the portion of the Shares, if any, with respect to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised, shall also be issued to the Holder hereof within 10 days after exercise of the Warrant.

 

(b)           Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant pursuant to Section 3(a), Holder may elect to receive shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion thereof remaining unexercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock computed using the following formula:

 

X = Y (A-B)

A

 

1



 

Where X = the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Holder.

 

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable under this Warrant (at the date of such calculation).

 

A = the Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock (at the date of such calculation).

 

B = Warrant Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

 

(c)           Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Section 3, Fair Market Value of one share of the Company’s Common Stock shall mean:

 

(i)            If the Common Stock is traded on Nasdaq or Over-The-Counter or on an exchange, the per share Fair Market Value for the Common Stock will be the average of the closing bid and asked prices of the Common Stock quoted in the Over-The-Counter Market Summary or the closing price quoted on any exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, whichever is applicable, as published in the Western Edition of The Wall Street Journal for the ten (10) trading days prior to the date of determination of Fair Market Value; or

 

(ii)           In any other instance, the per share Fair Market Value for the Common Stock shall be as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors unless Holder elects to have such fair market value determined by an appraiser, which election must be made by Holder within ten (10) business days of the date the Company notifies Holder of the fair market value as determined by its Board of Directors. In the event of such an appraisal, the cost thereof shall be borne by the Holder unless such appraisal results in a fair market value in excess of 115% of that determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, in which event the Company shall bear the cost of such appraisal.

 

In the event of 3(c)(ii) above, the Company’s Board of Directors shall prepare a certificate, to be signed by an authorized Officer of the Company, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for and method of determination of the per share Fair Market Value of the Common Stock. The Board will also certify to the Holder that this per share Fair Market Value will be applicable to all holders of the Company’s Common Stock that require a fair market value determination as of the same date as Holder.

 

(d)           Automatic Exercise. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised, it shall be automatically exercised in accordance with Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration.

 

4.             Representations and Warranties of Holder and Restrictions on Transfer Imposed by the Securities Act of 1933.

 

(a)           Representations and Warranties by Holder. The Holder represents and warrants to the Company with respect to this purchase as follows:

 

(i)            The Holder has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities of companies similar to the Company so that the Holder is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its interests. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).

 

2



 

(ii)           The Holder is acquiring the Warrant and the Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (collectively the “Securities”) for investment for its own account and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Holder understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Act, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the Holder understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold the Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

 

(iii)          The Holder acknowledges that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Holder is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Act (“Rule 144”) which permits limited resale of securities purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, in case the securities have been held for more than one but less than two years, the existence of a public market for the shares, the availability of certain public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sale being through a “broker’s transaction” or in a transaction directly with a “market maker” (as provided by Rule 144(f)) and the number of shares or other securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

 

(iv)          The Holder further understands that at the time the Holder wishes to sell the Securities there may be no public market upon which such a sale may be effected, and that even if such a public market exists, the Company may not be satisfying the current public information requirements of Rule 144, and that in such event, the Holder may be precluded from selling the Securities under Rule 144 unless a) a one-year minimum holding period has been satisfied and b) the Holder was not at the time of the sale nor at any time during the three-month period prior to such sale an affiliate of the Company.

 

(v)           The Holder has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with its management and an opportunity to review the Company’s facilities. The Holder understands that such discussions, as well as the written information issued by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which it believes to be material but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description.

 

(vi)          This Warrant and the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (and the securities issuable, directly or indirectly, upon conversion of the Shares, if any) may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part without compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws by the transferor and the transferee (including, without limitation, the delivery of investment representation letters and legal opinions reasonably satisfactory to the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company) and the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Warrant. The Company shall not require Holder to provide an opinion of counsel if the transfer is to any other affiliate of Holder. Additionally, the Company shall also not require an opinion of counsel if there is no material question as to the availability of Rule 144, including without limitation, the availability of current information as referenced in Rule 144(c), Holder represents that it has complied with Rule 144(d) and (e) in reasonable detail, the selling broker represents that it has complied with Rule 144(f), and the Company is provided with a copy of Holder’s notice of proposed sale.

 

3



 

(b)           Legends. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be endorsed with the following legend:

 

THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED UNLESS COVERED BY AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT, A “NO ACTION” LETTER FROM THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TRANSFER, A TRANSFER MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144 OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, OR (IF REASONABLY REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER IS EXEMPT FROM SUCH REGISTRATION.

 

The Company need not enter into its stock register a transfer of Securities unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied. The Company may also instruct its transfer agent not to register the transfer of any of the Shares unless the conditions specified in the foregoing legend are satisfied.

 

(c)           Removal of Legend and Transfer Restrictions. The legend relating to the Act endorsed on a certificate pursuant to paragraph 4(b) of this Warrant and the stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities represented by such certificate shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the Holder of the Securities if (i) the Securities are registered under the Act and a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Act is available or (ii) the Holder provides to the Company an opinion of counsel for the Holder reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or a no-action letter or interpretive opinion of the staff of the SEC reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that public sale, transfer or assignment of the Securities may be made without registration and without compliance with any restriction such as Rule 144.

 

5.             Condition of Transfer or Exercise of Warrant. It shall be a condition to any transfer or exercise of this Warrant that at the time of such transfer or exercise, the Holder shall provide the Company with a representation in writing that the Holder or transferee is acquiring this Warrant and the shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exercise, for investment purposes only and not with a view to any sale or distribution, or will provide the Company with a statement of pertinent facts covering any proposed distribution. As a further condition to any transfer of this Warrant or any or all of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, other than a transfer registered under the Act, the Company must have received a legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, reciting the pertinent circumstances surrounding the proposed transfer and stating that such transfer is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act. Each certificate evidencing the shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant or upon any transfer of the shares (other than a transfer registered under the Act or any subsequent transfer of shares so registered) shall, at the Company’s option, contain a legend in form and substance satisfactory to the Company and its counsel, restricting the transfer of the shares to sales or other dispositions exempt from the requirements of the Act.

 

As further condition to each transfer, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company and the transferee shall receive and accept a Warrant, of like tenor and date, executed by the Company.

 

6.             Stock Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares.  All Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. During the period within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times have authorized, and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the purchase rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

 

7.             Adjustment for Certain Events.  In the event of changes in the outstanding Common Stock by reason of stock dividends, split-ups, recapitalizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, combinations or exchanges of shares, separations, reorganizations, liquidations, or the like, the number and class of shares available under the Warrant in the aggregate and the Warrant Price shall be correspondingly adjusted, as appropriate, by the Board of

 

4



 

Directors of the Company. The adjustment shall be such as will give the Holder of this Warrant upon exercise for the same aggregate Warrant Price the total number, class and kind of shares as it would have owned had the Warrant been exercised prior to the event and had it continued to hold such shares until after the event requiring adjustment.

 

8.             Notice of Adjustments.  Whenever any Warrant Price shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the Company shall prepare a certificate signed by its chief financial officer setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment, the method by which such adjustment was calculated, and the Warrant Price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall cause copies of such certificate to be mailed (by certified or registered mail, return receipt required, postage prepaid) within thirty (30) days of such adjustment to the Holder of this Warrant as set forth in Section 19 hereof.

 

9.             Intentionally omitted.

 

10.           Transferability of Warrant. This Warrant is transferable on the books of the Company at its principal office by the registered Holder hereof upon surrender of this Warrant properly endorsed, subject to compliance with Section 5 and applicable federal and state securities laws. The Company shall issue and deliver to the transferee a new Warrant representing the Warrant so transferred. Upon any partial transfer, the Company will issue and deliver to Holder a new Warrant with respect to the Warrant not so transferred.

 

11.           Intentionally omitted.

 

12.           No Fractional Shares.  No fractional share of Common Stock will be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder, but in lieu of such fractional share the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the Warrant Price then in effect.

 

13.           Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any United States or state of the United States documentary stamp tax or other incidental expense with respect to the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder.

 

14.           No Shareholder Rights Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a shareholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.

 

15.           Registry of Warrant. The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered Holder of this Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise, in accordance with its terms, at such office or agency of the Company, and the Company and Holder shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

 

16.           Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and, in the case of loss, theft, or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, and, if mutilated, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company will execute and deliver a new Warrant, having terms and conditions substantially identical to this Warrant, in lieu hereof.

 

17.           Miscellaneous.

FORM OF STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

 



 

EXHIBIT B

 

RELEASE AND WAIVER OF CLAIMS

 

In consideration of the payments and other benefits set forth in Section 4 of the Employment Agreement dated                , to which this form is attached, I, DAVID GUY, hereby furnish FAVRILLE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the following release and waiver (“Release and Waiver”).

 

In exchange for the consideration provided to me by the Employment Agreement that I am not otherwise entitled to receive, I hereby generally and completely release the Company and its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners, agents, attorneys, predecessors, successors, parent and subsidiary entities, insurers, Affiliates, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities and obligations, both known and unknown, that arise out of or are in any way related to events, acts, conduct, or omissions occurring prior to my signing this Release and Waiver.  This general release includes, but is not limited to: (1) all claims arising out of or in any way related to my employment with the Company or the termination of that employment; (2) all claims related to my compensation or benefits from the Company, including, but not limited to, salary, bonuses, commissions, vacation pay, expense reimbursements, severance pay, fringe benefits, stock, stock options, or any other ownership interests in the Company; (3) all claims for breach of contract, wrongful termination, and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; (4) all tort claims, including, but not limited to, claims for fraud, defamation, emotional distress, and discharge in violation of public policy; and (5) all federal, state, and local statutory claims, including, but not limited to, claims for discrimination, harassment, retaliation, attorneys’ fees, or other claims arising under the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended), the federal Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended) (“ADEA”), and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (as amended).

 

I also acknowledge that I have read and understand Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which reads as follows:  “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. I hereby expressly waive and relinquish all rights and benefits under that section and any law of any jurisdiction of similar effect with respect to any claims I may have against the Company.

 

I acknowledge that, among other rights, I am waiving and releasing any rights I may have under ADEA, that this Release and Waiver is knowing and voluntary, and that the consideration given for this Release and Waiver is in addition to anything of value to which I was already entitled as an executive of the Company.  If I am 40 years of age or older upon execution of this Release and Waiver, I further acknowledge that I have been advised, as required by the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, that:  (a) the release and waiver granted herein does not relate to claims under the ADEA which may arise after this Release and Waiver is executed; (b) I have the right to consult with an attorney prior to executing this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily not to do so); and (c) I have twenty-one (21) days from the date of termination of my employment with the Company in which to consider this Release and Waiver (although I may choose voluntarily to execute this Release and Waiver earlier); (d) I have seven (7) days following the execution of this Release and Waiver to revoke my consent to this Release and

 

2



 

Waiver; and (e) this Release and Waiver shall not be effective until the seven (7) day revocation period has expired.

FAVRILLE, INC.

 

PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of my employment or continued employment by FAVRILLE, INC., a Delaware corporation the “Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to me, I, DAVID GUY], hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             NONDISCLOSURE

 

1.1          Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure.  At all times during my employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s and/or its Affiliates’ Proprietary Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing.  I will obtain Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or incorporates any Proprietary Information.  I hereby assign to the Company any rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its assigns.  For purposes of this Agreement,  Affiliate means, with respect to any specific entity, any other entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such specified entity.

 

1.2          Proprietary Information. The term “Proprietary Information” shall mean any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company and/or its Affiliates.  By way of illustration but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas, processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Inventions”); and (b) information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company and/or its Affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement, and my own, skill, knowledge, know-how and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I wish.

 

1.3          Third Party Information.  I understand, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  During the term of my employment and thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.

 

1.4          No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others.  During my employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.  I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.

 

 

2.             ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.

 

2.1          Proprietary Rights.  The term “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all trade secret, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.

 

2.2          Prior Inventions.  Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of this Agreement.  To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have set forth on Exhibit C-2 (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a

 

1



 

complete list of all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”).  If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list such Prior Inventions in Exhibit C-2 but am only to disclose a cursory name for each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason.  A space is provided on Exhibit C-2 for such purpose.  If no such disclosure is attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions.  If, in the course of my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use and sell such Prior Invention.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, I agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent.

 

2.3          Assignment of Inventions.  Subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.6, I hereby assign and agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of my employment with the Company.  Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions”.

 

2.4          Nonassignable Inventions.  This Agreement does not apply to an Invention which qualifies fully as a nonassignable Invention under Section 2870 of the California Labor Code (hereinafter “Section 2870”).  I have reviewed the notification on Exhibit C-1 (Limited Exclusion Notification) and agree that my signature acknowledges receipt of the notification.

 

2.5          Obligation to Keep Company Informed.  During the period of my employment and for six (6) months after termination of my employment with the Company, I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with others.  In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of employment.  At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under Section 2870; and I will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief.  The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under the provisions of Section 2870.  I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under Section 2870.

 

2.6          Government or Third Party.  I also agree to assign all my right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company.

 

2.7          Works for Hire.  I acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire”, pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).

 

2.8          Enforcement of Proprietary Rights.  I will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries.  To that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof.  In addition, I will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee.  My obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually spent by me at the Company’s request on such assistance.

 

2



 

In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with the same legal force and effect as if executed by me.  I hereby waive and quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.

 

3.             RECORDS.  I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

 

4.             ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES.  I agree that during the period of my employment by the Company I will not, without the Company’s express written consent, engage in any employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with, my employment by the Company.  I agree further that for the period of my employment by the Company and for one (l) year after the date of termination of my employment by the Company I will not induce any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company.

 

5.             NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION.  I represent that my performance of all the terms of this Agreement and as an executive of the Company does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company.  I have not entered into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith.

 

6.             RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS.  When I leave the employ of the Company, I will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda, specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions, Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company.  I further agree that any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice.  Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and signing the Company’s termination statement.

 

7.             LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.  Because my services are personal and unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the Proprietary Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this Agreement.

 

8.             NOTICES.  Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the Party shall specify in writing.  Such notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.

 

9.             NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER.  In the event that I leave the employ of the Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my rights and obligations under this Agreement.

 

10.          GENERAL PROVISIONS.

 

10.1        Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within California between California residents.  I hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or related to this Agreement.

 

10.2        Severability.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  If moreover, any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent

compatible with the applicable law as it shall then appear.

 

10.3        Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.

 

10.4        Survival.  The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

 

10.5        Employment.  I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company’s right to terminate my employment at any time, with or without Cause.

 

10.6        Waiver.  No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach.  No waiver by the Company of any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other right.  The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict adherence to all terms of this Agreement.

 

10.7        Entire Agreement.  The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed, or am in the future employed, by the Company as a consultant if no other agreement governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period.  This Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior discussions between us.  No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the Party to be charged.  Any subsequent change or changes in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

 

This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with the Company, namely:                           , 2004.

 

I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS.  I HAVE COMPLETELY FILLED OUT EXHIBIT C-1 TO THIS AGREEMENT.

LIMITED EXCLUSION NOTIFICATION

 

THIS IS TO NOTIFY EXECUTIVE in accordance with Section 2872 of the California Labor Code that the foregoing Agreement between Executive and the Company does not require Executive to assign or offer to assign to the Company any invention that Executive developed entirely on your own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

 

1.                                       Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the Company’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company;

 

2.                                       Result from any work performed by Executive for the Company.

 

To the extent a provision in the foregoing Agreement purports to require Executive to assign an invention otherwise excluded from the preceding paragraph, the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.

 

This limited exclusion does not apply to any patent or invention covered by a contract between the Company and the United States or any of its agencies requiring full title to such patent or invention to be in the United States.

Exhibit 10.24

 

MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT

Dated as of December 30, 2005  (“Agreement”)

 

THIS AGREEMENT is between General Electric Capital Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, if any, “Secured Party”) and Favrille, Inc. (“Debtor”). Secured Party has an office at 83 Wooster Heights Road, 5th Floor, Danbury, CT  06810. Debtor is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the state of Delaware. Debtor’s mailing address and chief place of business is 10421 Pacific Center Court, San Diego, CA 92121.

 

1.                                   CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST.

 

Debtor grants to Secured Party, its successors and assigns, a security interest in and against all property listed on any collateral schedule now or in the future annexed to or made a part of this Agreement (“Collateral Schedule”), and in and against all additions, attachments, accessories and accessions to such property, all substitutions, replacements or exchanges therefore, and all insurance and/or other proceeds thereof (all such property is individually and collectively called the “Collateral”). This security interest is given to secure the payment and performance of all debts, obligations and liabilities of any kind whatsoever of Debtor to Secured Party, now existing or arising in the future under or in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to the payment and performance of certain Promissory Notes from time to time identified on any Collateral Schedule (collectively “Notes” and each a “Note”), and any renewals, extensions and modifications of such debts, obligations and liabilities (such Notes, debts, obligations and liabilities are called the “Indebtedness”). Debtor acknowledges that, Secured Party shall be under no obligation to release the Collateral unless and until all Indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party has been paid and satisfied; provided, however, Secured Party, in its sole and exclusive discretion, may elect to release some of the Collateral without prejudice to Secured Party’s security interest in the remaining Collateral. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent that Secured Party asserts a purchase money security interest in any items of Collateral (“PMSI Collateral”): (i) the PMSI Collateral shall secure only that portion of the Indebtedness which has been advanced by Secured Party to enable Debtor to purchase, or acquire rights in or the use of such PMSI Collateral (the “PMSI Indebtedness”), and (ii) no other Collateral shall secure the PMSI Indebtedness. Upon the payment in full of all of the Indebtedness, and termination of Secured Party’s commitment to lend hereunder, this Agreement shall terminate and Secured Party shall, at the cost and expense of Debtor, execute and deliver to Debtor all such documents and instruments as shall be necessary to evidence termination of the security interests created hereunder.

Each policy shall name Secured Party as a loss payee, shall provide for coverage to Secured Party regardless of the breach by Debtor of any warranty or representation made therein, shall not be subject to co-insurance, and shall provide that coverage may not be canceled or materially altered by the insurer except upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Secured Party. Debtor appoints Secured Party as its attorney-in-fact to make proof of loss, claim for insurance and adjustments with insurers, and to receive payment of and execute or endorse all documents, checks or drafts in connection with insurance payments. Secured Party shall not act as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact unless Debtor is in default. Proceeds of insurance shall be applied, at the option of Secured Party if a default has occurred and is continuing, to repair or replace the Collateral or to reduce any of the Indebtedness. If a default has not occurred and is continuing, proceeds of insurance shall be paid to Debtor.

Debtor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Secured Party at any time and from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code jurisdiction any initial financing statement(s) and amendments thereto that (a) indicate the Collateral (i) is subject to the Secured Party’s security interest, regardless of whether any particular asset comprised in the Collateral falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such jurisdiction, or (ii) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (b) provide any other information required by part 5 of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State or such other jurisdiction for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement or amendment, including (i) whether the Debtor is an organization, the type of organization and any organization identification number issued to the Debtor, and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of real property to which the Collateral relates.

(xii)       Debtor’s improper filing of an amendment or termination statement relating to a filed financing statement describing the Collateral.

(c)          Upon the occurrence of a default and during the continuance thereof, Secured Party shall have all of the rights and remedies of a Secured Party under the Uniform Commercial Code, and under any other applicable law.

If requested by Secured Party, Debtor shall promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at a place to be designated by Secured Party, which is reasonably convenient to both parties. Secured Party may also render any or all of the Collateral unusable at the Debtor’s premises and may dispose of such Collateral on such premises without liability for rent or costs. Any notice that Secured Party is required to give to Debtor under the Uniform Commercial Code of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of the Collateral is to be made shall be deemed to constitute reasonable notice if such notice is given to the last known address of Debtor at least  ten (10) days prior to such action. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of  a default, Debtor hereby appoints Secured Party as Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in Debtor’s place and stead and in Debtor’s name or otherwise, from time to time, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement.

 

(d)         Upon the occurrence of a default and during the continuance thereof, proceeds from any sale or lease or other disposition shall be applied: first, to all costs of repossession, storage, and disposition including without limitation reasonable attorneys’, appraisers’, and auctioneers’ fees; second, to discharge the obligations then in default; third, to discharge any other Indebtedness of Debtor to Secured Party, whether as obligor, endorser, guarantor, surety or indemnitor; fourth, to expenses incurred in paying or settling liens and claims against the Collateral; and lastly, to Debtor, if there exists any surplus. Debtor shall remain fully liable for any deficiency.

 

(e)          Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by Secured Party in connection with the enforcement, assertion, defense or preservation of Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, or if prohibited by law, such lesser sum as may be permitted. Debtor further agrees that such fees and costs shall constitute Indebtedness.

 

(f)            Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise arising are cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the Secured Party to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of that or any other right, power or privilege. SECURED PARTY SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED ANY OF ITS RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY OTHER AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR PAPER SIGNED BY DEBTOR UNLESS SUCH WAIVER IS EXPRESSED IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY SECURED PARTY. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

 

(g)         DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE OTHER DEBT DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE INDEBTEDNESS SECURED HEREBY, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE. THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED

8.                                   MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a)          This Agreement, any Note and/or any of the other Debt Documents may be assigned, in whole or in part, by Secured Party without notice to Debtor (provided that, unless a default has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party will not assign this Agreement, the Note, or any other Debt Document to a competitor of Debtor or any affiliate thereof), and Debtor agrees not to assert against any such assignee, or assignee’s assigns, any defense, set-off, recoupment claim or counterclaim which Debtor has or may at any time have against Secured Party for any reason whatsoever. Debtor agrees that if Debtor receives written notice of an assignment from Secured Party, Debtor will pay all amounts payable under any assigned Debt Documents to such assignee or as instructed by Secured Party. Debtor also agrees to confirm in writing receipt of the notice of assignment as may be reasonably requested by Secured Party or assignee.

 

(b)         All notices to be given in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the parties at their respective addresses set forth in this Agreement (unless and until a different address may be specified in a written notice to the other party), and shall be deemed given  (i) on the date of receipt if delivered in hand or by facsimile transmission,  (ii) on the next business day after being sent by express mail, and  (iii) on the fourth business day after being sent by regular, registered or certified mail.

THIS AGREEMENT AND ITS COLLATERAL SCHEDULES SHALL NOT BE CHANGED OR TERMINATED ORALLY OR BY COURSE OF CONDUCT, BUT ONLY BY A WRITING SIGNED BY BOTH PARTIES. Section headings contained in this Agreement have been included for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(f)            This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Indebtedness has been indefeasibly paid in full to Secured Party or its assignee. The surrender, upon payment or otherwise, of any Note or any of the other documents evidencing any of the Indebtedness shall not affect the right of Secured Party to retain the Collateral for such other Indebtedness as may then exist. This Agreement shall automatically be reinstated if Secured Party is ever required to return or restore the payment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness (all as though such payment had never been made).

 

(g)         DEBTOR AGREES THAT SECURED PARTY AND/OR ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS SHALL HAVE THE OPTION BY WHICH STATE LAWS THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED: (A) THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT; OR (B) IF COLLATERAL HAS BEEN PLEDGED TO SECURE THE LIABILITIES, THEN BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR STATES WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, AT SECURED PARTY’S OPTION. THIS CHOICE OF STATE LAWS IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE SECURED PARTY. DEBTOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OPTION TO CHOOSE THE LAWS BY WHICH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED.  DEBTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS BEING SIGNED BY THE SECURED PARTY IN PARTIAL CONSIDERATION OF SECURED PARTY’S RIGHT TO ENFORCE IN THE JURISDICTION STATED ABOVE.

DEBTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHTS TO COMMENCE ANY ACTION AGAINST SECURED PARTY IN ANY JURISDICTION EXCEPT CONNECTICUT, OR IF SECURED PARTY CHOOSES TO LITIGATE IN A STATE WHERE COLLATERAL IS  LOCATED THEN IN SUCH COUNTY AND STATE. SECURED PARTY AND DEBTOR HEREBY EACH EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER

PROMISSORY NOTE

To Master Security Agreement dated as of

December 30, 2005

(Date)

 

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Favrille, Inc., a Delaware corporation, located at the address stated below (“Maker”) promises, jointly and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of General Electric Capital Corporation or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a “Payee”) at its office located at 83 Wooster Heights Road, Fifth Floor, Danbury, CT  06810 or at such other place as Payee or the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum of One Million Four Hundred Ninety Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Seven Dollars and Twenty Six Cents ($1,498,677.26), with interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of ten and eighty-nine hundredths percent (10.89%) per annum, in twenty-four (24) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest as follows:

 

Periodic
Installment

 

Amount

 

1-24

 

$

69,773.59

 

 

each (“Periodic Installment”) and a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total outstanding principal and interest.  The first Periodic Installment shall be due and payable on or before February 1, 2006 and the following Periodic Installments shall be due and payable on the first day of each succeeding month (each, a “Payment Date”) beginning March 1, 2006.  Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date. Maker agrees to pay any initial partial month interest payment from the date of this Note to the first day of the following month (“Interim Interest”).

 

The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.

 

This Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement” and any Security Agreement, this Note and any other document evidencing or securing this loan is hereinafter called a “Debt Document”).

 

Time is of the essence hereof.  If any installment or any other sum due under this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within 7 days of when due, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum.  If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within 7 days after the same becomes due and payable; or  (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security Agreement and such default or failure to perform is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment).

 

Maker may prepay in full any indebtedness hereunder upon five (5) days’ notice to the Payee. The prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the date of prepayment and (ii) a premium of 6% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 1, a premium of 4% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 2 and a premium of 2% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 3 and thereafter. Year 1 will mean the period consisting of the 1st through the 12th installments under this Note and subsequent years will refer to the subsequent twelve monthly payment periods.

 

The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such person, other than the Maker, an “Obligor”) who may at any time become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note.  The Maker and each Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor,

 

1



 

and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if and to the extent permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

Maker and Payee intend to strictly comply with all applicable federal and Connecticut laws, including applicable usury laws (or the usury laws of any jurisdiction whose usury laws are deemed to apply to the Note or any other Debt Document despite the intention and desire of the parties to apply the usury laws of the State of Connecticut).  Accordingly, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control over every other provision of this Note or any other Debt Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this paragraph, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the obligations.  In no event shall Maker or any other person be obligated to pay, or Payee have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of non-usurious interest permitted under the laws of the State of Connecticut or the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any other state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which Payee could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the obligations.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Note or any other Debt Document exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the maximum non-usurious rate for that day.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate, in which case, the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate to the maximum non-usurious rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the maximum non-usurious rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable maximum non-usurious rate by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions contained in this Note or in any other Debt Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this paragraph, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate.  If the term of any obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any  default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason Payee at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the maximum non-usurious rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to Payee, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of Maker’s obligations to Payee, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

 

THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.)  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 

This Note and any Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied.

 

No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Maker and Payee.  Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

 

Any provision in this Note or any Security Agreement which is in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule shall be deemed omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.

 

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Payee as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Debt Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Debt Document, Maker will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Debt Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

It is understood and agreed that this Note and all of the Debt Documents were negotiated and have been or will be delivered to Payee in the State of Connecticut, which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transactions embodied by this Note and the Debt Documents. Maker agrees to furnish to Payee at Payee’s office in Danbury, CT, all further instruments, certifications and documents to be furnished hereunder.    The parties also agree that if collateral is pledged to secure the debt evidenced by this Note, that the state or states in which such collateral is located each have a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied by this Note and the Debt Documents.

 

MAKER AGREES THAT THE PAYEE OF THIS NOTE SHALL HAVE THE OPTION BY WHICH STATE LAWS THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED: (A) THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT; OR (B) IF COLLATERAL HAS BEEN PLEDGED TO SECURE THE DEBT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE, THEN BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR STATES WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, AT PAYEE’S OPTION.  THIS CHOICE OF STATE LAWS IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE PAYEE OF THIS NOTE.  MAKER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OPTION TO CHOOSE THE LAWS BY WHICH THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER IT BY ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN CONNECTICUT OR ANY CONNECTICUT COURT SELECTED BY PAYEE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE NOTE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, ANY CLAIM BASED ON THE CONSOLIDATION OF PROCEEDINGS IN SUCH COURTS IN WHICH PROPER VENUE MAY LIE IN DIVERGENT JURISDICTIONS, AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, THE OTHER DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.

PROMISSORY NOTE

To Master Security Agreement No. 4081063

December 30, 2005

(Date)

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Favrille, Inc., a  Delaware corporation, located at the address stated below (“Maker”) promises, jointly and severally if more than one, to pay to the order of Oxford Finance Corporation or any subsequent holder hereof (each, a “Payee”) at its office located at 133 N. Fairfax Street, Alexandria, VA 22314 or at such other place as Payee or the holder hereof may designate, the principal sum of One Million Four Hundred Ninety Eight Thousand Six Hundred Seventy Seven Dollars and Twenty Seven Cents($1,498,677.27), with interest on the unpaid principal balance, from the date hereof through and including the dates of payment, at a fixed interest rate of ten and eighty-nine hundredths percent (10.89%) per annum, in twenty-four (24) consecutive monthly installments of principal and interest as follows:

 

Periodic
Installment

 

Amount

 

1-24

 

$

69,773.59

 

 

each (“Periodic Installment”) and a final installment which shall be in the amount of the total outstanding principal and interest.  The first Periodic Installment shall be due and payable on or before  February 1, 2006 and the following Periodic Installments shall be due and payable on the first day of each succeeding month (each, a “Payment Date”) beginning March 1, 2006.  Such installments have been calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Each payment may, at the option of the Payee, be calculated and applied on an assumption that such payment would be made on its due date. Maker agrees to pay any initial partial month interest payment from the date of this Note to the first day of the following month (“Interim Interest”).

 

The acceptance by Payee of any payment which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and owing at such time shall not constitute a waiver of Payee’s right to receive payment in full at such time or at any prior or subsequent time.

 

The Maker hereby expressly authorizes the Payee to insert the date value is actually given in the blank space on the face hereof and on all related documents pertaining hereto.

 

This Note may be secured by a security agreement, chattel mortgage, pledge agreement or like instrument (each of which is hereinafter called a “Security Agreement” and any Security Agreement, this Note and any other document evidencing or securing this loan is hereinafter called a “Debt Document”).

 

Time is of the essence hereof.  If any installment or any other sum due under this Note or any Security Agreement is not received within 7 days of when due, the Maker agrees to pay, in addition to the amount of each such installment or other sum, a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of said installment or other sum, but not exceeding any lawful maximum.  If (i) Maker fails to make payment of any amount due hereunder within 7 days after the same becomes due and payable; or  (ii) Maker is in default under, or fails to perform under any term or condition contained in any Security Agreement and such default or failure to perform is not cured within the applicable cure period, if any, then the entire principal sum remaining unpaid, together with all accrued interest thereon and any other sum payable under this Note or any Security Agreement, at the election of Payee, shall immediately become due and payable, with interest thereon at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate not prohibited by applicable law from the date of such accelerated maturity until paid (both before and after any judgment).

 

Maker may prepay in full any indebtedness hereunder upon five (5) days’ notice to the Payee. The prepayment shall be accompanied by payment of (i) all accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note on the date of prepayment and (ii) a premium of 6% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 1, a premium of 4% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 2 and a premium of 2% of the principal prepaid if such prepayment shall occur in Year 3 and thereafter. Year 1 will mean the period consisting of the 1st through the 12th installments under this Note and subsequent years will refer to the subsequent twelve monthly payment periods.

 

The Maker and all sureties, endorsers, guarantors or any others (each such person, other than the Maker, an “Obligor”) who may at any time become liable for the payment hereof jointly and severally consent hereby to any and all extensions of time, renewals, waivers or modifications of, and all substitutions or releases of, security or of any party primarily or secondarily liable on this Note or any Security Agreement or any term and provision of either, which may be made, granted or consented to by Payee, and agree that suit may be brought and maintained against any one or more of them, at the election of Payee without joinder of any other as a party thereto, and that Payee shall not be required first to foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust any security hereof in order to enforce payment of this Note.  The Maker and each Obligor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor,

and all other notices in connection herewith, as well as filing of suit (if permitted by law) and diligence in collecting this Note or enforcing any of the security hereof, and agrees to pay (if and to the extent permitted by law) all expenses incurred in collection, including Payee’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

Maker and Payee intend to strictly comply with all applicable federal and Virginia laws, including applicable usury laws (or the usury laws of any jurisdiction whose usury laws are deemed to apply to the Note or any other Debt Document despite the intention and desire of the parties to apply the usury laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia).  Accordingly, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control over every other provision of this Note or any other Debt Document which conflicts or is inconsistent with this Section, even if such provision declares that it controls.  As used in this paragraph, the term “interest” includes the aggregate of all charges, fees, benefits or other compensation which constitute interest under applicable law, provided that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any non-principal payment shall be characterized as an expense or as compensation for something other than the use, forbearance or detention of money and not as interest, and (b) all interest at any time contracted for, reserved, charged or received shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread, in equal parts during the full term of the obligations.  In no event shall Maker or any other person be obligated to pay, or Payee have any right or privilege to reserve, receive or retain, (a) any interest in excess of the maximum amount of non-usurious interest permitted under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia or the applicable laws (if any) of the United States or of any other state, or (b) total interest in excess of the amount which Payee could lawfully have contracted for, reserved, received, retained or charged had the interest been calculated for the full term of the obligations.  On each day, if any, that the interest rate (the “Stated Rate”) called for under this Note or any other Debt Document exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate, the rate at which interest shall accrue shall automatically be fixed by operation of this sentence at the maximum non-usurious rate for that day.  Thereafter, interest shall accrue at the Stated Rate unless and until the Stated Rate again exceeds the maximum non-usurious rate, in which case, the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall again automatically operate to limit the interest accrual rate to the maximum non-usurious rate.  The daily interest rates to be used in calculating interest at the maximum non-usurious rate shall be determined by dividing the applicable maximum non-usurious rate by the number of days in the calendar year for which such calculation is being made.  None of the terms and provisions contained in this Note or in any other Debt Document which directly or indirectly relate to interest shall ever be construed without reference to this paragraph, or be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money at an interest rate in excess of the maximum non-usurious rate.  If the term of any obligation is shortened by reason of acceleration of maturity as a result of any  default or by any other cause, or by reason of any required or permitted prepayment, and if for that (or any other) reason Payee at any time, including but not limited to, the stated maturity, is owed or receives (and/or has received) interest in excess of interest calculated at the maximum non-usurious rate, then and in any such event all of any such excess interest shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration, prepayment or other event which produces the excess, and, if such excess interest has been paid to Payee, it shall be credited pro tanto against the then-outstanding principal balance of Maker’s obligations to Payee, effective as of the date or dates when the event occurs which causes it to be excess interest, until such excess is exhausted or all of such principal has been fully paid and satisfied, whichever occurs first, and any remaining balance of such excess shall be promptly refunded to its payor.

 

THE MAKER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, THIS NOTE, ANY OF THE RELATED DOCUMENTS, ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED BETWEEN MAKER AND PAYEE.  THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.)  THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS NOTE, ANY RELATED DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THIS TRANSACTION OR ANY RELATED TRANSACTION.  IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS NOTE MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

 

This Note and any Security Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Maker and Payee with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements and representations, express or implied.

 

No variation or modification of this Note, or any waiver of any of its provisions or conditions, shall be valid unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Maker and Payee.  Any such waiver, consent, modification or change shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.

 

Any provision in this Note or any Security Agreement which is in conflict with any statute, law or applicable rule shall be deemed omitted, modified or altered to conform thereto.

 

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Payee as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Note or any Debt Document which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note or other Debt Document, Maker will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note or other Debt Document in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

It is understood and agreed that this Note and all of the Debt Documents were negotiated and have been or will be delivered to Payee in the Commonwealth of Virginia, which State the parties agree has a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transactions embodied by this Note and the Debt Documents. Maker agrees to furnish to Payee at Payee’s office in Alexandria, VA, all further instruments, certifications and documents to be furnished hereunder.    The parties also agree that if collateral is pledged to secure the debt evidenced by this Note, that the state or states in which such collateral is located each have a substantial relationship to the parties and to the underlying transaction embodied by this Note and the Debt Documents.

 

MAKER AGREES THAT THE PAYEE OF THIS NOTE SHALL HAVE THE OPTION BY WHICH STATE LAWS THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED: (A) THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA; OR (B) IF COLLATERAL HAS BEEN PLEDGED TO SECURE THE DEBT EVIDENCED BY THIS NOTE, THEN BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OR STATES WHERE THE COLLATERAL IS LOCATED, AT PAYEE’S OPTION.  THIS CHOICE OF STATE LAWS IS EXCLUSIVE TO THE PAYEE OF THIS NOTE.  MAKER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OPTION TO CHOOSE THE LAWS BY WHICH THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS HEREBY CONSENT TO THE EXERCISE OF JURISDICTION OVER IT BY ANY FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN VIRGINIA OR ANY VIRGINIA COURT SELECTED BY PAYEE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY AND ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE NOTE, THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, ANY CLAIM BASED ON THE CONSOLIDATION OF PROCEEDINGS IN SUCH COURTS IN WHICH PROPER VENUE MAY LIE IN DIVERGENT JURISDICTIONS, AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  MAKER AND GUARANTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE, THE OTHER DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY.
