Operating Leases and Subleases

We may extend the terms of this lease for two additional five-year periods. Future minimum lease payments under this lease, exclusive of executory costs, at December 31, 2013, were as follows:

Purchase Obligations

        As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding purchase obligations on commercially reasonable terms, primarily for services under contract research, development and clinical and commercial supply agreements totaling $0.8 million.

Special Long-Term Retention and Incentive Equity Awards Program

        In 2011, we granted special long-term retention and incentive cash bonus awards to certain employees. The awards have dual triggers of vesting based upon the achievement of certain performance conditions over a six-year timeframe from 2011 through December 31, 2016 and continued employment. The maximum potential cash bonus expense associated with this program is $38.2 million, which would be recognized in increments based on the probable achievement of the performance conditions. As of December 31, 2013, we determined that the achievement of the requisite performance conditions was not probable and, as a result, no bonus expense has been recognized. If sufficient performance conditions are probable of being achieved in 2014, then we could recognize up to $9.5 million cash bonus expense in 2014.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

        We indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits. We believe the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we have not recognized any liabilities relating to these agreements as of December 31, 2013.
