NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. All terms used but not defined elsewhere herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 10, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The 2013 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to the current period presentation, primarily related to the legal and expert fees accrual in connection with PharmAthene litigation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is expected to be impacted by the outcome of the Company’s intended appeal of the Remand Opinion (as defined in Note 14), as well as the implementation of any plan of reorganization under the auspices of the Bankruptcy Court (see Note 2). The possibility of a potential substantial loss from the PharmAthene litigation, combined with the costs of the bankruptcy reorganization, may have a significant impact to the Company. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As a result of the Bankruptcy filing and the pending Court of Chancery remand opinion, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities are subject to uncertainties. Any reorganization plan could materially change the amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities or any other adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as going concern or as a consequence of the pending Court of Chancery judgment or the Bankruptcy filing.

2. Chapter 11 Filing

On September 16, 2014 (the “Petition Date”), the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) Case Number 14-12623. The Company is continuing to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company commenced the chapter 11 case to preserve and to assure its ability to satisfy its commitments under the BARDA Contract (as defined in Note 3) and to preserve its operations, which would have likely been jeopardized by the enforcement of a judgment stemming from the pending litigation with PharmAthene, Inc. (see Note 14). The chapter 11 filing will allow the Company to continue to perform under the BARDA Contract, and to pursue what it believes is a meritorious appeal of the pending Delaware Chancery Court proceeding, without the necessity of posting a bond.

On August 8, 2014, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued its Remand Opinion and related order in the litigation initiated against the Company in 2006 by PharmAthene, Inc. In the Remand Opinion, the Court of Chancery determined, among other things, that PharmAthene is entitled to a lump sum damages award in an as yet unspecified amount, with interest and fees, based on United States government purchases of the Company's smallpox drug allegedly anticipated as of December 2006. The amount of the total judgment to be decreed by the Court of Chancery is expected to be substantial (see Note 14), and enforcement of that judgment by PharmAthene would have jeopardized the Company's viability and ability to produce and deliver Tecovirimat and to continue research and development activities for Tecovirimat. The chapter 11 case prevents PharmAthene from taking any enforcement action at this time and also will permit the Company's intended appeal of the Remand Opinion to go forward without the need to post a bond.

Table of Contents

On September 17, 2014, the Company received Bankruptcy Court approval of certain “first-day” motions which preserve the Company's ability to continue operations without interruption in chapter 11. As part of the “first-day” motions, the Company received approval to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to support the Company's operations. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's authority to pay for goods and services received post-petition in the ordinary course of business.

As part of the chapter 11 case, the Company has retained, pursuant to Bankruptcy Court approval, legal and financial professionals to advise the Company in connection with the administration of its chapter 11 case and its litigation with PharmAthene, and certain other professionals to provide services and advice in the ordinary course of business. From time to time, the Company may seek Bankruptcy Court approval to retain additional professionals.

In October, the U.S. Trustee for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “UCC”). The UCC has a right to be heard on all matters affecting the Company that come before the Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the UCC will support the Company’s positions on matters to be presented to the Bankruptcy Court in the future or on any plan of reorganization, once proposed.

Plan of Reorganization

The Company has not yet prepared or filed a plan of reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization through and including January 14, 2015, and to solicit votes on such a plan if filed by such date through and including March 16, 2015, subject to the ability of parties in interest to file motions seeking to terminate the Company's exclusive periods, as well as the Company's right to seek further extensions of such periods. The Company has the right to seek further extensions of such exclusive periods, subject to the statutory limit of 18 months from the Petition Date in the case of filing a plan and 20 months in the case of soliciting and obtaining acceptances of such a plan. Implementation of a plan of reorganization is subject to confirmation of the plan by the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and the occurrence of the effective date under the plan. At this time, there is no certainty as to when or if a plan will be filed, the provisions of a plan, or whether a plan will be confirmed and consummated.

Financial Reporting in Reorganization

The Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852, Reorganizations effective on September 16, 2014, which is applicable to companies under bankruptcy protection, and requires amendments to the presentation of key financial statement line items. It requires that the financial statements for periods subsequent to the chapter 11 filing distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Revenues, expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses that can be directly associated with the reorganization and restructuring of the business must be reported separately as reorganization items in the consolidated statements of operations beginning in the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The balance sheet must distinguish pre-petition liabilities subject to compromise from both those pre-petition liabilities that are not subject to compromise and from post-petition liabilities. Liabilities that may be subject to a plan of reorganization must be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed in the Company’s chapter 11 case, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts as a result of the plan of reorganization or negotiations with creditors. In addition, cash used by reorganization items are disclosed separately in the consolidated statements of cash flow.

On September 17, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved on an interim basis a Stipulation and Order between the Company and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GE”), in its capacity as Agent for the lenders under the loan agreement dated December 31, 2012 (the “Loan Agreement”), in connection with the chapter 11 case. The Loan Agreement, consisting of a term loan and revolving line of credit, is a fully secured loan facility. As of the Petition Date, $2.5 million of the term loan was outstanding and no amount was borrowed or outstanding against the revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the Stipulation and Order:


•	The Company can continue to use cash as to which the Agent has a lien;


•	The Company will continue to make its regularly scheduled interest (at the non-default rate) and amortization payments on the term loan under the Loan Agreement;


•	The revolving loan commitment under the Loan Agreement, as to which no borrowings are outstanding, was terminated;


•	The Company paid $70,000 to GE in full satisfaction of all amounts payable under the Loan Agreement in connection with the termination of the revolving loan commitment;


•	The Company will maintain a minimum balance of $4 million in a specified account as collateral for the obligations under the Loan Agreement; and


•	The Company and GE reserve their respective rights as whether interest at the default rate is payable, and if it is determined that it is payable, such amount, less the $70,000 referred to above, shall be added to the amount of the obligations under the Loan Agreement.

Table of Contents

The Stipulation and Order was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on a final basis on October 28, 2014. The Company has set aside, in a separate account, $4 million as collateral for obligations under the Loan Agreement and classified this amount as restricted cash on its balance sheet. As long as the Stipulation and Order is in effect, GE has agreed to not seek to take any action to accelerate payment under the Loan Agreement or exercise any remedies. The GE loan is considered fully secured and is not reported as liabilities subject to compromise.

Liabilities Subject to Compromise:

As a result of the chapter 11 filing, the payment of pre-petition liabilities is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. Although payment of pre-petition claims generally is not permitted, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Company authority to pay certain pre-petition claims in designated categories and subject to certain terms and conditions. Among other things, the Bankruptcy Court has authorized the Company to pay certain pre-petition claims relating to employees, critical vendors and services for which the Company receives reimbursement from the government.

With regard to pre-petition claims, the Company will notify all known claimants subject to a bar date to be set by the Bankruptcy Court of their need to file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court. A bar date is the date by which certain claims against the Company must be filed if the claims are not listed in liquidated, non-contingent and undisputed amounts in the Company's schedules of assets and liabilities (the “Schedules”), or if the claimant disagrees with the amount, characterization or classification of its claim as reflected in the Schedules. A bar date has not been set yet by the Bankruptcy Court.

Pre-petition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed in the Company’s chapter 11 case, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise as of September 30, 2014 may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain claims, the value of any collateral securing such claims, or other events. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the value of the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court until its evaluation, investigation and reconciliation of all filed claims has been completed. Any resulting changes in classification will be reflected in subsequent financial statements.

As of September 30, 2014, Liabilities Subject to Compromise consist of the following:



	September 30, 2014
Deferred revenue	$	203,526,317
Accounts payable - pre-petition	3,816,684		(2)
Expectation damages accrual- PharmAthene Litigation	174,934,726
Legal and expert fees accrual - PharmAthene Litigation	3,226,055		(1)
Other accrued expenses - pre-petition	1,440,531		(2)
Total	$	386,944,313

(1) $3.2 million is the total accrual for reimbursement of PharmAthene attorney's fees and expert fees, against which there is a$2.7 million surety bond that has cash collaterization of $1.3 million.

(2) Includes liabilities incurred in the performance of the BARDA Contract, for which the Company is eligible to be reimbursed by BARDA. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court authorized, but did not require, the Company to pay pre-petition liabilities that are eligible to be reimbursed by BARDA. “Accounts payable - pre-petition” includes approximately$557,000 of such liabilities, and “other accrued expenses - pre-petition” includes approximately $121,000 of such liabilities.

Reorganization Items, net:



	September 30, 2014
Legal fees	$	223,422
Professional fees	6,890
Trustee fees	1,625
Other	70,000
Total	$	301,937

Table of Contents

Cash paid for reorganization items was $90,565 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Other Related Matters

On September 16, 2014, the Company received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC asserting that, based on the Company’s chapter 11 filing, the Company no longer met the continuing listing requirements necessary to maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The Company appealed such assertion. On October 16, 2014, representatives of the Company appeared before the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC’s hearings panel to present the Company’s appeal, asking the panel to exercise its discretion to allow the Company to maintain its listing for up to five additional months (the limit of the panel’s discretion at this time). On October 29, 2014, the Company received the decision of the NASDAQ hearings panel. The NASDAQ hearings panel decided that the Company’s Common Stock would remain listed, subject to: (a) the Company providing the NASDAQ hearings panel with confidential updates regarding the status of the PharmAthene litigation, public disclosures relating to such litigation and to any possible judgment, and (b) the Company, on or before March 16, 2015, emerging from chapter 11 and evidencing compliance with all requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ hearings panel also stated that it reserves the right to reconsider its determination based upon any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the NASDAQ Stock Market inadvisable or unwarranted. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet the conditions required by the NASDAQ hearings panel and maintain the listing of its Common Stock on NASDAQ.

Refer to Note 14, “Legal Proceedings” for description of the PharmAthene lawsuit against the Company.

3. Procurement Contract and Research Agreements

Procurement Contract

On May 13, 2011, the Company signed a contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”) (the “BARDA Contract”) pursuant to which SIGA agreed to deliver two million courses of Tecovirimat, also known as ST-246®, to the U.S. Strategic National Stockpile (the “Strategic Stockpile”). The base contract, worth approximately $463 million, includes $54 million related to development and supportive activities and contains various options to be exercised at BARDA’s discretion. The period of performance for development and supportive activities runs until 2020. As originally issued, the BARDA Contract included an option for the purchase of up to 12 million additional courses of Tecovirimat; however, following a protest by a competitor of the Company, BARDA issued a contract modification on June 24, 2011 pursuant to which it deleted the option to purchase the additional courses. Under the BARDA Contract as modified, BARDA has agreed to buy from SIGA 1.7 million courses of Tecovirimat. Additionally, SIGA will contribute to BARDA 300,000 courses manufactured primarily using federal funds provided by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) under prior development contracts. The BARDA Contract as modified also contains options that will permit SIGA to continue its work on pediatric and geriatric versions of the drug as well as use of Tecovirimat for smallpox prophylaxis. As described in Note 14, the amount of profits SIGA will retain pursuant to the BARDA Contract may be adversely affected by the outcome of PharmAthene’s action against SIGA.

The BARDA Contract is a multiple deliverable arrangement comprising delivery of courses and covered research and development activities. The BARDA Contract provides certain product replacement rights with respect to delivered courses. For this reason, recognition of revenue that might otherwise occur upon delivery of courses is expected to be deferred until the Company’s obligations related to potential replacement of delivered courses are satisfied. The Company assessed the selling price for each of the aforementioned deliverables - research and development activities and drug product. The selling price of certain reimbursed research and development services was determined by reference to existing and past research and development grants and contracts between the Company and various government agencies. The selling price of drug product was determined by reference to other Companies’ sales of drug products such as antiviral therapeutics, orphan drugs and drugs with potential life-saving impact similar to Tecovirimat, including products delivered to the Strategic Stockpile.

The Company has recognized revenue for reimbursement of certain BARDA Contract research and development services. Cash inflows related to delivery of courses will continue to be recorded as deferred revenue. In addition, direct costs incurred by the Company to fulfill the delivery of courses under the BARDA Contract are being deferred and will be recognized as an expense over the same period that the related deferred revenue is recognized as revenue.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred direct costs under the BARDA Contract of approximately $32.8 million and $22.6 million, respectively, are included in deferred costs on the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2014, the Company recorded $203.5 million of deferred revenue for the delivery and acceptance of Tecovirimat into the Strategic Stockpile and for certain research and development services provided as part of the BARDA Contract. For the three and nine

Table of Contents

months ended September 30, 2014, revenue from reimbursed research and development was $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014, an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million courses of Tecovirimat have been accepted by the Strategic Stockpile; this includes the cumulative delivery of 259,000 courses at no cost to BARDA in accordance with the BARDA Contract.

Research Agreements

The Company obtains funding from the contracts and grants it obtains from various agencies of the U.S. Government to support its research and development activities. Currently, the Company has one contract and one grant with varying expiration dates through February 2018 that provide for potential future aggregate research and development funding for specific projects of approximately $9.5 million. Because of the Optimization Program (refer to Note 12), we do not expect to utilize all available funds under the grant covering pre-clinical drug candidates.

The funded amount includes, among other things, options that may or may not be exercised at the U.S. government’s discretion. Moreover, the contract and contract grant contain customary terms and conditions including the U.S. Government’s right to terminate or restructure a grant for convenience at any time.

In connection with the Optimization Program, in July 2014, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to sell and transfer its pre-clinical Arenavirus assets and research and development grant relating to Lassa fever to Kineta Four, LLC (the “Purchaser”), an unrelated party. In exchange for the transfer of certain assets and intellectual property rights, the Company received profit interest units (“Units”) in Kineta Four, LLC, and the Company is eligible for approximately $5.1 million of later-stage milestone payments and royalties of up to 4% on sales of drugs that use the transferred intellectual property rights. The Units, which have no voting rights, could provide the Company with a participation of approximately 5 - 10% of any cash distribution, if any, by Kineta Four, LLC, depending on future fundraising by Kineta Four, LLC. The assets transferred as part of the asset purchase agreement are the sole operating assets of Kineta Four, LLC. The asset purchase agreement had no impact on the Company's results of operations as the assets and intellectual property transferred to the Purchaser had no book value.

4. Equity and Financial Instruments

On September 30, 2014, the Company’s authorized share capital consisted of 110,000,000 shares, of which 100,000,000 are designated common shares and 10,000,000 are designated preferred shares. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue preferred shares in series with rights, privileges and qualifications of each series determined by the Board.

At September 30, 2014 there were no liability classified warrants. At December 31, 2013, the fair market value of outstanding liability classified warrants was $313,425. The Company applied the Black-Scholes model to calculate the fair values of the respective derivative instruments using the contractual term of the warrants. Management estimated the expected volatility using a combination of the Company’s historical volatility and the volatility of a group of comparable companies.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a gain and a (loss) of $11,532 and $(734,955), respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a gain and a (loss) of $313,425 and $(728,865), respectively. The gain and (loss) are a result of net decrease and (increase), respectively in fair value of Commitment Warrants (as discussed below) during respective periods.

On June 19, 2008, SIGA entered into a letter agreement, as subsequently amended (the “Letter Agreement”) that expired on June 19, 2010, with M&F, a related party, for M&F’s commitment to invest, at SIGA’s discretion or at M&F’s option, up to $8 million in exchange for (i) SIGA common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 40% of the number of SIGA shares acquired by M&F. In consideration for the commitment of M&F reflected in the Letter Agreement, on June 19, 2008, M&F received warrants to purchase 238,000 shares of SIGA common stock, initially exercisable at $3.06 (the “Commitment Warrants”). The Commitment Warrants were exercisable until June 19, 2012. On June 19, 2012, the Commitment Warrants were amended to extend expiration to June 19, 2014. Due to certain anti-dilution provisions, the Commitment Warrants are recorded as a liability, and consequently the “mark-to-market” adjustment to the fair value from the extended term was accounted immediately upon modification. On June 19, 2014, the Commitment Warrants expired and the Company recognized a gain of $80,924.

On June 18, 2010, M&F notified SIGA of its intention to exercise its right to invest $5.5 million, the remaining amount available under the Letter Agreement following earlier investments and entered into a Deferred Closing and Registration Rights Agreement dated as of June 18, 2010 with the Company. On July 26, 2010, upon satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, M&F funded the $5.5 million purchase price to SIGA in exchange for the issuance of (i) 1,797,386 shares of common stock and

Table of Contents

(ii) warrants to purchase 718,954 shares of SIGA common stock at an exercise price of $3.519 per share; the warrants are exercisable for a term of four years from the issuance date. On July 26, 2014, the warrants expired and the Company recognized a gain of $11,532.

On April 30, 2013, SIGA entered into a Services Agreement with MacAndrews & Forbes LLC (“M&F”), a related party, for certain professional and administrative services. The Services Agreement has a term of three years. As consideration for the Services Agreement, SIGA issued warrants to M&F to acquire 250,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.29 per share. The warrants are fully vested, immediately exercisable and remain exercisable for two years from the issuance date. The grant-date fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes model as previously described, is recorded as an asset with a corresponding increase to equity. The asset is expensed over the contractual term of the warrants. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded an expense of $34,091.

The number of shares issuable pursuant to the warrants granted under the Letter Agreement, as well as the exercise price of those warrants, may be subject to adjustment as a result of the effect of future equity issuances on certain anti-dilution provisions in the related warrant agreements.

The Company accounted for the warrants in accordance with the authoritative guidance which requires that free-standing derivative financial instruments that require net cash settlement be classified as assets or liabilities at the time of the transaction, and recorded at their fair value. Any changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in earnings or loss as long as the derivative contracts are classified as assets or liabilities.

5. Per Share Data

The objective of basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is to measure the performance of an entity over the reporting period by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average shares outstanding. The objective of diluted EPS is consistent with that of basic EPS, except that it also gives effect to all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period.

The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted net income (loss) per share computation:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Net income (loss)	(240,076,761		)	$	(4,901,976	)	(246,406,883		)	$	(12,838,876	)
Weighted-average shares: basic and diluted	53,504,296			52,548,997			53,391,173			52,162,380
Earnings (loss) per share: basic and diluted	$	(4.49	)	$	(0.09	)	$	(4.62	)	$	(0.25	)

The Company incurred losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 and as a result, certain equity instruments are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share as the effect of such shares is anti-dilutive. The weighted average number of equity instruments excluded consist of:



	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014	2013	2014	2013
Stock Options	2,165,307	2,621,790	2,192,397	2,794,489
Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights	383,890	446,279	393,551	448,694
Restricted Stock Units	1,155,638	988,150	1,221,653	986,692
Warrants	453,183	1,874,670	949,120	1,980,623

The appreciation of each stock-settled stock appreciation right was capped at a determined maximum value. As a result, the weighted average number shown in the table above for stock-settled stock appreciation rights reflects the weighted average maximum number of shares that could be issued.

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. Common stock warrants which are classified as liabilities are recorded at their fair market value as of each reporting period.

The measurement of fair value requires the use of techniques based on observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. The inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:


•	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations where inputs are observable or where significant value drivers are observable.


•	Level 3 – Instruments where significant value drivers are unobservable to third parties.

The Company uses model-derived valuations where inputs are observable in active markets to determine the fair value of certain common stock warrants on a recurring basis and classify such warrants in Level 2. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes model consisting of the following variables: (i) the closing price of SIGA’s common stock; (ii) the expected remaining life of the warrant; (iii) the expected volatility using a weighted-average of historical volatilities from a combination of SIGA and comparable companies; and (iv) the risk-free market rate. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of liability classified warrants was $0 and $313,425, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $2.5 million and $4.0 million of term loan outstanding, respectively, from a loan entered into on December 31, 2012. The fair value of the loan, which is measured using Level 2 inputs, approximates book value at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not hold level 3 securities.

7. Related Party Transactions

In October 2012, the Company funded a letter of credit and deposit to take advantage of a lease for office space secured by an affiliate of M&F from a third party landlord on behalf of the Company. Pursuant to such letter of credit, in January 2013 the Company entered into a sublease in which the Company will pay all costs associated with the lease, including rent. All payments made by the Company pursuant to the sublease will either be directly or indirectly made to the third-party landlord and not retained by M&F or any affiliate. The sublease allowed for a free rent period of five months beginning April 1, 2013; subsequent to the free rent period, monthly rent payments are $60,000 until August 1, 2019 and $63,000 for the next two years. Upon expiration on September 1, 2020, the sublease and lease provides for two consecutive five year renewal options.

The Company has a Services Agreement with M&F and a warrant agreement with M&F (refer to Note 3).

A member of the Company’s Board of Directors is a member of the Company’s outside counsel. During the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred costs of $148,360 and $240,167, respectively, related to services provided by the outside counsel. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred costs of $545,651 and $1.0 million , respectively. On September 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding payables to the outside counsel.

8. Inventory

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 504,000 courses were accepted into the Strategic Stockpile; due to the deferral of revenue under the BARDA Contract, amounts that would be otherwise recorded as cost of goods sold for delivered and accepted courses are recorded as deferred costs in the balance sheet.

The value of inventory represents the costs incurred to manufacture Tecovirimat under the BARDA Contract. Manufacturing costs incurred to complete production of courses of Tecovirimat will be recorded as inventory and reclassified to deferred costs upon delivery and acceptance to the extent related revenue is deferred.

Table of Contents

Inventory consisted of the following at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Work in-process	$	18,126,911	$	14,363,151
Finished goods	—		6,152,198
Inventory	$	18,126,911	$	20,515,349

The Company has revised the disclosure of the previously reported components of inventory at December 31, 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, there was no inventory write-down. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, research and development expense included inventory write-down of $0.9 million.

9. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consisted of the following at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	September 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
Laboratory equipment	$	—		$	2,473,428
Leasehold improvements	3,170,597			3,166,622
Computer equipment	669,782			655,364
Furniture and fixtures	486,656			488,168
	4,327,035			6,783,582
Less - accumulated depreciation	(3,413,726		)	(5,401,509		)
Property, plant and equipment, net	$	913,309		$	1,382,073

Depreciation and amortization expense on property, plant, and equipment was $87,233 and $116,618 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and was $268,037 and $319,377 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As a result of the Optimization Plan described in Note 12, in March 2014 the Company engaged a third-party to manage the disposition of certain laboratory equipment. In the second quarter of 2014, certain laboratory equipment with a net book value of $212,720 was sold for gross proceeds of $534,607, which resulted in a gain of $321,887. In the third quarter of 2014, certain laboratory equipment with a net book value of $11,228 was sold for gross proceeds of $35,000, which resulted in a gain of $23,771.

10. Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities not subject to compromise consisted of the following at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



	September 30, 2014		December 31, 2013
Legal and expert fees accrual - PharmAthene Litigation	$	—	$	2,635,270
Professional fees	544,537		794,275
Vacation	256,956		252,410
Other	1,124,203		1,160,438
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	1,925,696	$	4,842,393

The accrued expenses at September 30, 2014 are not subject to compromise as they are generally incurred subsequent to the Petition Date. Certain pre-petition claims relating to employee wages, benefits, and taxes are included in accrued expenses not subject to compromise as the Bankruptcy Court granted the Company authority to pay these expenses in the normal course of business.

11. Income Tax

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Income Taxes requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including company's performance, the market environment in which the company operates, the utilization of past tax credits, length of carryback and carryforward periods, existing contracts, and unsettled circumstances that, if unfavorably resolved, would adversely affect future operations and profit levels in the future years.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a loss accrual for expectation damages of $175 million related to the PharmAthene litigation (see Note 14) and filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (see Note 2). Additionally, the PharmAthene litigation and recent chapter 11 filing raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As such, the Company has concluded that it could no longer realize its deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis and recorded a non-cash charge of $54 million to establish a valuation allowance against all of its deferred tax assets. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or reduced or if objective negative evidence is no longer present.

12. Operational Restructuring

In the fourth quarter of 2013, the Company began an optimization program to increase efficiencies within its operations (the “Optimization Program”). This program, which included a reduction in employee headcount, is intended to align the Company’s resources, staff and efforts with the most promising growth opportunities. The Optimization Program targeted a $6 million reduction in annual operating expenses, of which a substantial portion of the reduction was implemented at December 31, 2013. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $512,944 which included a non-cash asset impairment for the write-off of certain prepaid assets. At September 30, 2014, the remaining severance accrual of $4,050 is classified as not subject to compromise. The following table summarizes the activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2014:



	Accrued as of December 31, 2013		Charges		Payments			Accrued as of September 30, 2014
Severance Charges	$	118,230	$	—	$	(114,180	)	$	4,050

13. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This ASU requires management to assess whether there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and, if so, disclose that fact. Management will also be required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. This ASU states that, when making this assessment, management should consider relevant conditions or events that are known or reasonably knowable on the date the financial statements are issued or available to be issued. This ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU No. 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Accounting Standards Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewing this standard to assess the impact on our future condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of Entity, which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations while enhancing disclosure requirements. This ASU addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance in U.S. GAAP. Under this guidance, a discontinued operation is defined as a disposal of a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This

Table of Contents

ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2014. This ASU is effective for us prospectively on January 1, 2015. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance on the financial statement presentation of unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The Company’s adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2014 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

14. Legal Proceedings

In December 2006, PharmAthene, Inc. (“PharmAthene”) filed an action against SIGA in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court” or “Court of Chancery”) captioned PharmAthene, Inc. v. SIGA Technologies, Inc., C.A. No. 2627-N. In its amended complaint, PharmAthene asked the Court to order the Company to enter into a license agreement with PharmAthene with respect to Tecovirimat, also known as ST-246, to declare that the Company is obliged to execute such a license agreement, and to award damages resulting from the Company’s supposed breach of that obligation. PharmAthene also alleged that the Company breached an obligation to negotiate such a license agreement in good faith, and sought damages for promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment based on supposed information, capital, and assistance that PharmAthene allegedly provided to the Company during the negotiation process. The Court tried the case in January 2011.

In September 2011, the Court issued its post-trial opinion. The Court denied PharmAthene’s requests for specific performance and expectation damages measured by the present value of estimated future profits. Nevertheless, the Court held that the Company breached its duty to negotiate in good faith and was liable under the doctrine of promissory estoppel. The Court consequently awarded to PharmAthene what the Court described as an equitable payment stream or equitable lien consisting of fifty percent of the net profits that the Company achieves from sales of Tecovirimat after the Company secures $40 million in net profits, for ten years following the first commercial sale. In addition, the Court awarded PharmAthene one-third of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert witness expenses.

In May 2012, the Court entered its final order and judgment in this matter, implementing its post-trial opinion. Among other things, the final order and judgment provided that (a) net profits would be calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied consistently with how they are applied in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, (b) the net profits calculation would take into account expenses relating to Tecovirimat commencing with the Company’s acquisition of Tecovirimat in August 2004, and (c) PharmAthene could recover $2.4 million of attorneys’ fees and expenses. .

In June 2012, the Company appealed to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware the final order and judgment and certain earlier rulings of the Court of Chancery. Shortly thereafter, PharmAthene filed its cross-appeal. The Company obtained a stay of enforcement of the fee and expense portion of the judgment by filing a surety bond for the amount of the judgment plus post-judgment interest. The Company posted $1.3 million of cash as 50% collateral for a $2.7 million surety bond. The $1.3 million of cash collateral is recorded in other assets as of September 30, 2014.

On January 10, 2013, the parties briefed the issues, and argued before the Delaware Supreme Court, en banc.

On May 24, 2013, the Supreme Court of Delaware issued its decision, affirming the Delaware Court of Chancery’s judgment in part, reversing it in part, and remanding to Vice Chancellor Parsons. The Supreme Court affirmed the Chancery Court determination that the Company had breached its contractual obligation to negotiate in good faith; reversed the promissory estoppel holding; and, reversed the Vice Chancellor’s equitable damages award. The Supreme Court held that the trial judge may award expectation damages for breach of the contractual duty to negotiate in good faith if such damages are proven with reasonable certainty, and remanded to the Chancery Court for consideration of damages consistent with that holding. The Supreme Court also reversed the Chancery Court’s award of attorney fees and expert witness fees because they were predicated in part on a now-reversed finding of liability on PharmAthene’s promissory estoppel claim. The Supreme Court held that the Chancery Court could reevaluate on remand an alternative award, if any, of attorneys’ fees and expert testimony expenses consistent with the Supreme Court’s opinion. Finally, the Supreme Court declined to consider all claims raised in PharmAthene’s cross-appeal because it affirmed the Chancery Court’s finding that the Company was liable for breaching its contractual obligation to negotiate in good faith. On June 11, 2013, the Supreme Court issued its mandate to the Court of Chancery with the decision described above.

On June 26, 2013, the parties appeared before Vice Chancellor Parsons to discuss the remand, at which time PharmAthene declared its desire to supplement the record with further evidence. Following briefing and argument on August 15, 2013, the Chancery Court granted PharmAthene’s motion to supplement the record and also allowed the Company to submit responsive evidence. On December 18-19, 2013, the Court held an evidentiary hearing with respect to that evidence. On January 15, 2014, after briefing

Table of Contents

on relevant issues, the parties appeared for oral argument regarding what if any remedy the Chancery Court should impose in light of the remand by the Supreme Court of Delaware.

On August 8, 2014, the Court of Chancery issued its memorandum opinion and order (the “Remand Opinion”). In its Remand Opinion, the Court of Chancery reversed its earlier conclusions and held that PharmAthene had carried its burden of demonstrating its entitlement to lump sum expectation damages for its lost profits related to Tecovirimat by a preponderance of the evidence. It also stated that in order to calculate PharmAthene’s lost profits, several modifications to the valuation model presented at trial (which the Court of Chancery had rejected as too speculative, among other things, in its post-trial opinion) were required, which modifications the Court of Chancery set forth in the Remand Opinion. The Court of Chancery ruled that PharmAthene is entitled to the value of the revised calculations plus pre and post-judgment interest at the legal rate, compounded quarterly, with prejudgment interest to accrue from December 20, 2006. The Court of Chancery also denied and dismissed with prejudice PharmAthene’s claims that it is entitled to specific performance or an equitable payment stream, on the grounds that PharmAthene is limited to a contractual remedy and has an adequate remedy at law. Finally, the Court of Chancery ruled that PharmAthene was entitled to (i) forty percent of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses it incurred through post-trial argument, (ii) one-third of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses it incurred in the remand proceedings, (iii) sixty percent of expert witness fees it incurred in the pretrial and trial phases, and (iv) and one-tenth of the expert witness fees it incurred in the remand proceedings.

The Remand Opinion provided that the parties must perform damages calculations using the court's newly modified but previously rejected model. PharmAthene would provide SIGA with a lump sum damages calculation within 10 business days and that SIGA would respond within 10 business days with its own calculation, or agreement with PharmAthene. Additionally, the Remand Opinion specified that the competing calculations would be submitted to the Court of Chancery within 30 days from the date on which PharmAthene provided its lump sum damages calculation to SIGA, if there is continuing disagreement on the narrow issue of performing the court's required calculations.

On September 16, 2014, as a consequence of SIGA's chapter 11 filing, the legal proceedings with PharmAthene were stayed (see Note 2). On October 8, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Stipulation between the Company and PharmAthene partially lifting the stay to permit the litigation before the Delaware Court of Chancery to proceed, including all appeals. The Stipulation, however, provides that the stay shall remain in effect with respect to the enforcement of any judgment that may be entered.

On October 17, the Company and PharmAthene separately submitted lump sum damages calculations to the Court of Chancery. PharmAthene’s submission noted a damages calculation, inclusive of pre-judgment interest, of approximately$233 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s submission noted a damages calculation, inclusive of pre-judgment interest, of approximately $173 million as of August 8, 2014 (the date of the Remand Opinion). The separate calculations submitted by PharmAthene and the Company are based on each parties’ interpretation of the adjusted valuation methodology the Court of Chancery directed the parties to utilize in the Remand Opinion. The ultimate loss to be incurred from this litigation is highly uncertain and may be significantly different from the range of calculations. In its submission, the Company stated that SIGA intends to argue on appeal that PharmAthene has no entitlement to any award of expectation damages, but, rather, should be limited to a recovery of its reliance interest of approximately $200,000. Accordingly, the ultimate loss to be incurred from this litigation is highly uncertain and may be significantly different from the range of calculations set forth in the October 17 submissions to the Court of Chancery.

As part of the October 17 submissions to the Court of Chancery, PharmAthene calculated SIGA’s liability for reimbursement of attorney’s fees, expert witness costs and other costs as $3.2 million.

As of the filing of this Form 10-Q, the Court of Chancery has not responded to the parties’ submissions and has not issued a final judgment specifying the dollar amount of lump sum damages, or the dollar amount for reimbursement of attorney’s fees, expert witness costs and other costs.

The ultimate loss to be incurred in the future from the PharmAthene litigation is uncertain. However, SIGA believes that an ultimate loss of some amount is probable. Because the future outcome of SIGA's intended appeal to the Supreme Court of Delaware is highly uncertain, the Company has based its loss accrual on the October 17, 2014 Court of Chancery submissions by PharmAthene and the Company described above. Based on these submissions to the Court of Chancery, SIGA has recorded a loss accrual for expectation damages of $175 million as of September 30, 2014. This amount includes pre-judgment interest accrued through September 30, 2014, and it reflects the minimum amount within the range of calculations submitted to the Court of Chancery dictated by the narrow constraints of the Remand Opinion and related order. Notwithstanding the Company's view that the range of calculations is inappropriate and will be appealed, the minimum of the range was selected because no amount in the range is a better estimate than any other amount.

The ultimate outcome of SIGA’s appeal of the Remand Opinion and related order of the Court of Chancery is unpredictable, and the ultimate amount of the loss may be significantly different than the amount accrued. As noted above, SIGA intends to argue on appeal that PharmAthene has no entitlement to any award of expectation damages, but, rather, should be limited to a recovery

of its reliance interest of approximately $200,000. In addition to the damages loss accrual, SIGA has separately accrued $3.2 million for PharmAthene’s attorneys’ fees and expert expenses related to the case.

From time to time, the Company is involved in disputes or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that there is no dispute or litigation pending, except as discussed above, that could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition to historical information, the following discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report contain forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties.

Overview

We are a company specializing in the development and commercialization of solutions for serious unmet medical needs and biothreats. Our lead product is Tecovirimat, also known as ST-246®, an orally administered antiviral drug that targets orthopoxviruses. While Tecovirimat is not yet licensed as safe or effective by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”), it is a novel small-molecule drug that is being delivered to the Strategic National Stockpile under Project Bioshield.

Chapter 11 Filing

On September 16, 2014, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) Case Number 14-12623. The Company is continuing to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Company commenced the chapter 11 case to preserve and to assure its ability to satisfy its commitments under the BARDA Contract and to preserve its operations, which would have likely been jeopardized by the enforcement of a judgment stemming from the pending litigation with PharmAthene, Inc. (see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”). The chapter 11 filing will allow the Company to continue to perform under the BARDA Contract, and to pursue what it believes is a meritorious appeal of the pending Delaware Chancery Court proceeding, without the necessity of posting a bond.

The chapter 11 filing prevents PharmAthene from taking any enforcement action at this time and also will permit the Company's intended appeal of the Remand Opinion to go forward.

On September 17, 2014, the Company received Bankruptcy Court approval of certain “first-day” motions which preserve the Company’s ability to continue operations without interruption in chapter 11. As part of the “first-day” motions, the Company received approval to pay or otherwise honor certain pre-petition obligations generally designed to support the Company’s operations. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Company's authority to pay for goods and services received post -petition in the ordinary course of business.

panel decided that the Company’s Common Stock would remain listed, subject to: (a) the Company providing the NASDAQ hearings panel with confidential updates regarding the status of the PharmAthene litigation, public disclosures relating to such litigation and to any possible judgment, and (b) the Company, on or before March 16, 2015, emerging from chapter 11 and evidencing compliance with all requirements for initial listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ hearings panel also stated that it reserves the right to reconsider its determination based upon any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the NASDAQ Stock Market inadvisable or unwarranted. There can be no assurance that the Company will meet the conditions required by the NASDAQ hearings panel and maintain the listing of its Common Stock on NASDAQ.

Lead Product - Tecovirimat

On May 13, 2011, we signed the BARDA Contract pursuant to which we agreed to deliver two million courses of Tecovirimat to the Strategic Stockpile. The base contract, worth approximately $463 million, includes $54 million related to development and supportive activities and contains various options to be exercised at BARDA’s discretion. The period of performance for development and supportive activities runs until 2020. As originally issued, the BARDA Contract included an option for the purchase of up to 12 million additional courses of Tecovirimat; however, following a protest by a competitor of the Company, BARDA issued a contract modification on June 24, 2011 pursuant to which it deleted the option to purchase the additional courses. Under the BARDA Contract as modified, BARDA has agreed to buy from SIGA 1.7 million courses of Tecovirimat. Additionally, SIGA will contribute to BARDA 300,000 courses manufactured primarily using federal funds provided by HHS under prior development contracts. The BARDA Contract as modified also contains options that will permit SIGA to continue its work on pediatric and geriatric formulations of the drug as well as use of Tecovirimat for smallpox prophylaxis.

We believe Tecovirimat is among the first new small-molecule drugs delivered to the Strategic Stockpile under Project BioShield. Tecovirimat is an investigational product that is not currently approved by FDA as a treatment of smallpox or any other indication. FDA has designated Tecovirimat for “fast-track” status, creating a path for expedited FDA review and eventual regulatory approval.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements, which we discuss under the heading “Results of Operations” following this section of our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our most critical accounting estimates include the valuation of stock-based awards including options and warrants, revenue recognition, impairment of assets, litigation accrual, and income taxes. Information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates appear in Item 7, Management’s Discussion of Analysis and Financial Condition and Results of Operation, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed on March 10, 2014. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there were no significant changes to any critical accounting policies or to the related estimates and judgments involved in applying these policies.

Results of Operations

Three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013

Revenues from research and development contracts and grants for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, were $1.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The decrease in revenue of $1.2 million, or 52%, primarily reflects a decrease of $0.7 million in revenues from our grants supporting research related to Lassa fever and dengue fever. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, there was no revenue from the Lassa fever grant due to the sale and transfer of our Lassa fever research and development grant, in July 2014, to Kineta Four, LLC. The decrease in revenue also reflects a $0.5 million decrease in revenues from our federal contracts supporting the development of Tecovirimat.

Revenues from research and development contracts and grants for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, were $2.3 million and $4.6 million, respectively. The decrease in revenue of $2.3 million, or 50%, is due to a $1.6 million decrease in grant revenues related to Lassa fever and dengue fever and a $0.7 million decrease in revenues from our federal contracts supporting the development of Tecovirimat.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $4.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately $1.1 million, or 34%. The increase in SG&A

Table of Contents

is primarily attributable to an increase of $0.8 million in professional service fees in connection with business development and strategic initiatives.

SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $10.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, reflecting an increase of approximately $0.8 million, or 8%. The increase in SG&A is primarily attributable to an increase of $0.8 million in professional service fees in connection with business development and strategic initiatives, partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million in office expenses.

Research and development expenses (“R&D”) were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $1.5 million or 36% from the $4.3 million incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The overall decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $0.8 million in employee compensation, due to the Optimization Program and a $0.5 million decrease in direct vendor-related expenses supporting the development of Tecovirimat and the dengue and Lassa fever programs.

R&D expenses were $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of approximately $3.1 million or 28% from the $11.0 million incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of approximately $2.4 million in employee compensation, due to the Optimization Program and a $1.1 million decrease in direct vendor-related expenses supporting the development of Tecovirimat and the dengue and Lassa fever programs, partially offset by a net inventory write-off of $0.6 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we incurred direct costs of $2.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, on the development of Tecovirimat. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we spent $315,000 on internal human resources dedicated to the drug’s development and $2.6 million mainly on manufacturing and clinical testing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we spent $484,000 on internal human resources dedicated to the drug’s development and $3.0 million mainly on manufacturing and clinical testing. From inception of the Tecovirimat development program to-date, we invested a total of $59.6 million in the program, of which $10.6 million supported internal human resources, and $49.0 million were used mainly for manufacturing, clinical and pre-clinical work. These resources reflect research and development expenses directly related to the program. They exclude additional expenditures such as patent costs, allocation of indirect expenses, and other services provided by NIH and DoD.

Patent preparation expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $306,000 and $818,000, respectively. These expenses reflect our ongoing efforts to protect our intellectual property in various geographic territories.

Changes in the fair value of liability classified warrants to acquire common stock are recorded as gains or losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a gain of $12,000 and $313,000, respectively, reflecting changes in fair market value of liability classified warrants outstanding during the respective periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded losses of $735,000 and $729,000, respectively. The warrants and rights to purchase our common stock were recorded at fair market value and classified as liabilities. At September 30, 2014, there were no liability classified warrants outstanding.

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $105,000 and $370,000 consisting of interest on outstanding debt. Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $293,000 and $1.0 million, reflecting interest on outstanding long-term debt and certain vendor payable arrangements.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded approximately $175 million of loss accrual in connection with the PharmAthene litigation. Refer to Part II, Item 1, "Legal Proceedings") for additional information.

For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $302,000 in reorganization expenses in connection with the chapter 11 filing. Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements for additional information.

The recognition of a valuation allowance for deferred taxes requires management to make estimates and judgments about the Company’s future profitability which are inherently uncertain. This includes assessing available positive and negative evidence to determine if sufficient future tax income will be generated to utilize existing deferred tax assets.

Table of Contents

no longer realize its deferred tax assets on a more likely than not basis and recorded a non-cash charge to establish a valuation allowance against all of its deferred tax assets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred net losses but recorded an income tax provision of $58million and $54 million, respectively, as the Company could no longer conclude its deferred tax assets were realizable. The amount of deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be adjusted if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased or reduced or if objective negative evidence is no longer present. Future changes in the estimated amount of deferred taxes expected to be realized will be reflected in the Company’s financial statements in the period the estimate is changed with a corresponding adjustment to operating results. Changes in estimates may occur often and can have a significant favorable or unfavorable impact on the Company’s operating results from period to period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

On August 8, 2014, the Delaware Court of Chancery issued its Remand Opinion in the litigation initiated against the Company in 2006 by PharmAthene, Inc. (see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings”). In the Remand Opinion, the Court of Chancery determined, among other things, that PharmAthene is entitled to a lump sum damages award in an as yet unspecified amount, with interest and fees, based on United States government purchases of the Company’s smallpox drug allegedly anticipated as of December 2006. The amount of the total judgment to be decreed by the Court of Chancery is expected to be substantial. However, the chapter 11 filing will prevent PharmAthene from taking any enforcement actions at this time and also will allow the Company to pursue what it believes is a meritorious appeal of the Remand Opinion and related order (see Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings).

As of September 30, 2014, we have delivered an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million courses of Tecovirimat to the Strategic Stockpile, of which 259,000 courses were delivered at no cost to BARDA in accordance with the BARDA Contract. With the delivery and acceptance of 1.3 million courses of Tecovirimat, we have received payment of approximately $136.8 million; additionally, we have received $61.5 million for up-front payments and achieved milestones related to the BARDA Contract. We believe that the funds received from the BARDA Contract (see Note 3 to the financial statements) together with our existing capital resources and continuing government contracts and grants will be sufficient to support our operations beyond the next twelve months; however, the total amount of the judgment to be decreed by the Court of Chancery is likely to be substantial. There can be no assurance that cash on hand, cash generated through operations by future delivery of courses to BARDA, cash generated from asset sales, and other available funds will be sufficient to satisfy the ultimate resolution of the PharmAthene litigation. The possibility of potential substantial loss from the PharmAthene litigation, combined with the costs attendant to the administration of the Company's chapter 11 case, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to the recoverability of the carrying amount of recorded assets and liabilities that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

On September 30, 2014, we had $104.7 million in cash and cash equivalents compared with $91.3 million at December 31, 2013. The Company had $4 million in restricted cash as collateral for obligations under the General Electric Corporation term loan.

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $18.6 million and $72.8 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company received approximately $40.8 million from BARDA for the delivery of product, partially offset by $7.1 million of cash payments to CMOs for the manufacture, development and other supportive activities for Tecovirimat. In 2013, the cash provided in operating activities primarily related to cash received in connection with the delivery of product to BARDA.

Investing activities

Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $3.5 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company has set aside, in a separate account, $4 million as collateral for obligations under the General Electric Corporation term loan and classified this amount as restricted cash on its balance sheet, offset by a $0.6 million gross proceeds from the sale of certain laboratory equipment during the second quarter of 2014. Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $0.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash usage was due to capital expenditures, including certain furniture and equipment for new office space in New York.

Table of Contents

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities was $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. We repaid $1.5 million of our term loan in accordance with the loan repayment schedule and repurchased $415,938 of common stock to meet minimum statutory tax withholding requirements. The cash outlay was offset by proceeds of $102,035 from exercises of options and warrants to purchase common stock.

Cash provided by financing activities was $1.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. In the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received $1.6 million from exercises of options and warrants to purchase common stock which was partially offset by a $500,000 repayment of our term loan in accordance with the loan repayment schedule.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Safe Harbor Statement

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including certain statements contained in “Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements relating to the progress of SIGA’s development programs and time lines for bringing products to market, the enforceability of the BARDA Contract, the final resolution of our ongoing litigation with PharmAthene, Inc., the anticipated damages amount to be awarded to PharmAthene, Inc. in connection with the recent Delaware Chancery Court opinion, and the administration of SIGA’s chapter 11 case. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks and uncertainties and SIGA cautions you that any forward-looking information provided by or on behalf of SIGA is not a guarantee of future performance. SIGA’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond SIGA’s control, including, but not limited to, (i) the risk that potential products that appear promising to SIGA or its collaborators cannot be shown to be efficacious or safe in subsequent pre-clinical or clinical trials, (ii) the risk that SIGA or its collaborators will not obtain appropriate or necessary governmental approvals to market these or other potential products, (iii) the risk that SIGA may not be able to obtain anticipated funding for its development projects or other needed funding, including from anticipated governmental contracts and grants, (iv) the risk that SIGA may not complete performance under the BARDA Contract on schedule or in accordance with contractual terms, (v) the risk that SIGA may not be able to secure or enforce sufficient legal rights in its products, including intellectual property protection, (vi) the risk that any challenge to SIGA’s patent and other property rights, if adversely determined, could affect SIGA’s business and, even if determined favorably, could be costly, (vii) the risk that regulatory requirements applicable to SIGA’s products may result in the need for further or additional testing or documentation that will delay or prevent seeking or obtaining needed approvals to market these products, (viii) the risk that one or more protests could be filed and upheld in whole or in part or other governmental action taken, in either case leading to a delay of performance under the BARDA Contract or other governmental contracts, (ix) the risk that the BARDA Contract is modified or canceled at the request or requirement of the U.S. government, (x) the risk that the volatile and competitive nature of the biotechnology industry may hamper SIGA’s efforts to develop or market its products, (xi) the risk that the changes in domestic and foreign economic and market conditions may affect SIGA’s ability to advance its research or may affect its products adversely, (xii) the effect of federal, state, and foreign regulation, including drug regulation and international trade regulation, on SIGA’s businesses, (xiii) the risk that our outstanding indebtedness or chapter 11 case may make it more difficult to obtain additional financing, (xiv) the risk that our internal controls will not be effective in detecting or preventing a misstatement in our financial statements, (xv) the risk that some amounts received and recorded as deferred revenue may someday be determined to have been more properly characterized as revenue when received, (xvi) the risk that some amounts received and recorded as deferred revenue ultimately may not be recognized as revenue, (xvii) the risk that any appeal of the post-remand opinion may not be successful and that such post-remand opinion will be upheld in whole or in part, or that an appeal, if any, by SIGA may result in a different, less favorable ruling that could materially and adversely affect the Company, (xviii) the risk that any appeal may result in extended and expensive litigation, (xix) the risk that continued litigation with PharmAthene, Inc. may impede SIGA’s efforts to continue to grow, (xx) the risk that SIGA may not be able to establish its intended positions or otherwise may not prevail in any further court proceedings with respect to the litigation with PharmAthene, and (xxi) the costs and expenses and other inherent uncertainty attendant to a chapter 11 case.

More detailed information about SIGA and risk factors that may affect the realization of forward-looking statements, including the forward-looking statements in this presentation, is set forth in SIGA’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and SIGA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and in other documents that SIGA has filed with the SEC. SIGA urges investors and security holders to read those documents free of charge at the SEC’s Web site at http://www.sec.gov.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our investment portfolio may include cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Our main investment objectives are the preservation of investment capital and the maximization of after-tax returns on our investment portfolio. We believe that our investment policy is conservative, both in the duration of our investments and the credit quality of the investments we hold. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions to manage exposure to interest rate changes. Accordingly, we believe that, while the securities we hold are subject to changes in the financial standing of the issuer of such securities and our interest income is sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest rates, we are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2014. The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. Management recognizes that any disclosure controls and procedures no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Office and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2014 at a reasonable level of assurance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

In December 2006, PharmAthene, Inc. (“PharmAthene”) filed an action against SIGA in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court” or the “Court of Chancery”) captioned PharmAthene, Inc. v. SIGA Technologies, Inc., C.A. No. 2627-N. In its amended complaint, PharmAthene asked the Court to order the Company to enter into a license agreement with PharmAthene with respect to Tecovirimat, also known as ST-246, to declare that the Company is obliged to execute such a license agreement, and to award damages resulting from the Company’s supposed breach of that obligation. PharmAthene also alleged that the Company breached an obligation to negotiate such a license agreement in good faith, and sought damages for promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment based on supposed information, capital, and assistance that PharmAthene allegedly provided to the Company during the negotiation process. The Court tried the case in January 2011.

On January 10, 2013, the parties briefed the issues, and argued before the Delaware Supreme Court, en banc.

Table of Contents

presented at trial (which the Court of Chancery had rejected as too speculative, among other things, in its post-trial opinion) were required, which modifications the Court of Chancery set forth in the Remand Opinion. The Court of Chancery ruled that PharmAthene is entitled to the value of the revised calculations plus pre and post-judgment interest at the legal rate, compounded quarterly, with prejudgment interest to accrue from December 20, 2006. The Court of Chancery also denied and dismissed with prejudice PharmAthene’s claims that it is entitled to specific performance or an equitable payment stream, on the grounds that PharmAthene is limited to a contractual remedy and has an adequate remedy at law. Finally, the Court of Chancery ruled that PharmAthene was entitled to (i) forty percent of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses it incurred through post-trial argument, (ii) one-third of the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses it incurred in the remand proceedings, (iii) sixty percent of expert witness fees it incurred in the pretrial and trial phases, and (iv) and one-tenth of the expert witness fees it incurred in the remand proceedings.

On September 16, 2014, as a consequence of SIGA’s chapter 11 filing, the legal proceedings with PharmAthene were stayed (see Note 2). On October 8, 2014, the Bankruptcy Court approved a Stipulation between the Company and PharmAthene partially lifting the stay to permit the litigation before the Delaware Chancery Court to proceed, including all appeals. The Stipulation, however, provides that the stay shall remain in effect with respect to the enforcement of any judgment that may be entered.

On October 17, the Company and PharmAthene separately submitted lump sum damages calculations to the Court of Chancery. PharmAthene’s submission noted a damages calculation, inclusive of pre-judgment interest, of approximately $233 million as of September 30, 2014. The Company’s submission noted a damages calculation, inclusive of pre-judgment interest, of approximately $173 million as of August 8, 2014 (the date of the Remand Opinion). The separate calculations submitted by PharmAthene and the Company are based on each parties’ interpretation of the adjusted valuation methodology the Court of Chancery directed the parties to utilize in the Remand Opinion. The ultimate loss to be incurred from this litigation is highly uncertain and may be significantly different from the range of calculations. In its submission, the Company stated that SIGA intends to argue on appeal that PharmAthene has no entitlement to any award of expectation damages, but, rather, should be limited to a recovery of its reliance interest of approximately $200,000. Accordingly, the ultimate loss to be incurred from this litigation is highly uncertain and may be significantly different from the range of calculations set forth in the October 17 submissions to the Court of Chancery.

As part of the October 17 submissions, PharmAthene calculated SIGA’s liability for reimbursement of attorney’s fees, expert witness costs and other costs as $3.2 million.

Table of Contents

In addition to the damages loss accrual, SIGA has separately accrued $3.2 million for PharmAthene’s attorneys’ fees and expert expenses, related to the case.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our results of operations and financial condition are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties described in our originally filed 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

Risks and uncertainties associated with our chapter 11 filing may lead to potential adverse effects on our liquidity, results of operations or business prospects.

We are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties associated with the filing of voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11, which may lead to potential adverse effects on our liquidity, results of operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you of the outcome of our chapter 11 case. Risks associated with the chapter 11 filing include the following:


•	our ability to continue as a going concern;


•	our ability to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval with respect to motions in the chapter 11 case and the outcomes of Bankruptcy Court rulings in the case in general;


•	the length of time we will operate in chapter 11 and our ability to successfully emerge;


•	our ability to consummate a plan of reorganization in our chapter 11 case;


•	risks associated with third party motions and other pleadings in the chapter 11 case, which may interfere with the administration of the chapter 11 case;


•	the ability to maintain sufficient liquidity throughout the chapter 11 case;


•	increased costs related to the bankruptcy filing and other litigation;


•	our ability to manage contracts that are critical to our operation, and to obtain and maintain appropriate terms with customers, suppliers and service providers;


•	whether our foreign subsidiaries continue to operate their business in the normal course;


•	the resolution of all pre-petition claims against us; and


•	our ability to maintain existing customers, vendor relationships and expand sales to new customers.

Our common stock could be delisted by NASDAQ, and if such delisting occurs it could limit the liquidity of our common stock, increase its volatility and hinder our ability to raise capital.

If our common stock is delisted by NASDAQ, our common stock may be eligible for quotation on an over-the-counter quotation system or on the pink sheets. Upon any such delisting, our common stock would become subject to the regulations of the SEC relating to the market for penny stocks. A penny stock is any equity security not traded on a national securities exchange that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The regulations applicable to penny stocks may severely affect the market liquidity for our common stock and could limit the ability of shareholders to sell securities in the secondary market. In such a case, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock, and there can be no assurance that our common stock will be eligible for trading or quotation on any alternative exchanges or markets.

Delisting from NASDAQ would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

2.MANUFACTURE OF PRODUCT

2.1 Manufacturing Services. Albemarle shall manufacture, sell and deliver to Customer or its designee all Product ordered by Customer in conformance with terms and conditions of this Agreement. In addition, Albemarle shall perform an analysis of samples of the micronized form of the Product as set forth in Section 2.12 and Exhibit B, and shall perform the stability studies as set forth in Section 2.11 and Exhibit D. Albemarle will dedicate sufficient manufacturing capacity to fill Customer’s orders within the applicable Lead Time. Unless otherwise agreed between Albemarle and Customer, all Product will be manufactured under cGMP conditions at the Facility. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement related to subcontracting, Albemarle shall not transfer or perform any of the work required by this Agreement outside of the United States without specific written consent by Customer, which shall be subject to the restrictions on foreign manufacturing contained in Customer’s Government Contracts, the contents of which, to the extent necessary, shall be made known to Albemarle by Customer.

2.2 First Order. Albemarle and Customer shall cooperate fully and negotiate in good faith in estimating and scheduling the first order of commercial quantities of Product (“First Order”) to be placed by Customer, with the mutual goal of the Parties that the First Order be scheduled for completion and delivery to Customer or its designee not later than six (6) months after the date the First Order is placed by Customer.

2.3 Forecasts and Firm Orders.

2.3.1 Starting after the placement of the First Order, on or before the first day of each calendar month, Customer shall give Albemarle Customer’s good faith written estimate of Customer’s projected requirements of the Product for delivery during the upcoming twelve (12) months. Such forecasts constitute non-binding, good faith estimates provided solely to assist Albemarle in raw material procurement, production planning and manufacturing of the Product. Albemarle shall use these forecasts to procure long leadtime raw materials.

2.3.2 Customer acknowledges that, since Product is a product made exclusively for Customer, and in order to accommodate Albemarle’s planning, manufacturing, analytical testing and release of the Product, Customer agrees to place a binding non-cancelable written purchase order for the delivery of any Product required in the first three (3) month period of the initial or any updated forecast (a “Firm Order”). Customer further agrees to place Firm Orders in one-batch increments, each batch to consist of approximately 1,350 kg. Albemarle shall, upon receipt of any Firm Order after the First Order, deliver ordered batches of Product within the Lead Time applicable to such Firm Order, which period shall be shortened, as much as possible, taking into account the availability of raw materials.

2.3.3 In the event that Customer does not place binding orders for Product consistent with the forecasted quantities, then in order to compensate Albemarle for the actual and full costs of procuring long lead time raw materials, Customer shall pay Albemarle the documented direct costs associated with any unused quantity of such raw materials purchased by Albemarle specifically for the manufacture of the Product, provided that Albemarle has made good faith efforts to return such raw materials to their manufacturers for credit. Any such raw materials, for which Customer pays Albemarle the documented direct costs, shall be deemed to be the property of Customer, and Albemarle shall promptly assign all right, title and interest in and to such raw materials to Customer. Albemarle shall store such unused raw materials at the Customer’s request at no charge for up to one (1) year, and thereafter shall, at Albemarle’s option, continue to store such raw materials at the Customer’s expense and Albemarle shall, upon notice to Customer, deliver them to Customer or its designee. Albemarle shall otherwise, at Customer’s expense, properly dispose of any unused raw materials, any rejected Product and any waste in accordance with Applicable Law.

2.4 Purchase Orders. Customer shall issue written purchase orders to Albemarle for the First Order and each Firm Order. Purchase orders shall be placed at least the applicable Lead Time before the desired delivery date and shall be deemed accepted if in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Purchase orders shall specify the quantity of the Product ordered, the requested delivery date, and the means of shipment (provided, however, that the means of shipment complies with all Applicable Law and any requirement of any applicable Government Contract). Purchase orders issued by Customer and accepted (or deemed accepted) by Albemarle shall constitute the binding obligation of Albemarle to manufacture, sell and deliver to Customer the specified quantity of the Product by the specified delivery date (and perform the post-micronization testing services set forth in Section 2.12 and Exhibit B for such Product and the stability studies set forth in Section 2.11 and Exhibit D for such Product) and the binding obligation of Customer to purchase the specified quantity of the Product therein delivered in conformance with this Agreement. Purchase orders issued by Customer shall be effective solely with respect to specifying the quantity, requested delivery date and means of shipment of the Product being ordered. All other terms and conditions printed or included on such purchase orders which contradict or would serve to alter the provisions of this Agreement shall be of no effect or force.

2.5 Purchase Commitments.

2.5.1 Subject to Section 2.5.2, Customer agrees to order from Albemarle at least seventy-five percent (75%) of Customer’s internal and external requirements of the Product or any product substantially similar to the Product which Customer requires during the Term. For clarity, there is no minimum order requirement imposed on Customer.

2.5.2 Customer’s purchase commitments under Section 2.5.1 of this Agreement are subject to the following:

(a) In the event that a contract entered into by Customer for the sale of FDP requires that the Product used as the API for such FDP be manufactured outside the United States and Albemarle is unwilling or unable to subcontract such manufacture to a party or parties that meet the terms of this Agreement and any relevant contract entered into by Customer for the sale of FDP, the amounts of Product contemplated by such Customer contract shall not be counted or considered when calculating Customer’s internal and external requirements or the amount to be ordered by Customer or the amount to be delivered by Albemarle.

(b) In the event that a proposed contract to be entered into by Customer for the sale of FDP in an intravenous formulation requires that the Product used as the API for such FDP be manufactured to specifications other than the Specifications, and the Parties are not able to reach agreement on the necessary changes to the Specifications for such intravenous formulation or to pricing therefor, the amounts of Product contemplated by such proposed Customer contract shall not be counted or considered when calculating Customer’s internal and external requirements or the amount to be ordered by Customer or the amount to be delivered by Albemarle.

(c) If either (i) the shipment of any Customer order of Product or any portion thereof, or the provision of any analytical data for released Product to be provided to Customer hereunder is late by more than 20 days on more than one occasion, (ii) Product produced and released by Albemarle is defective or does not conform to the Specifications or Applicable Law on more than one occasion, or (iii) Albemarle otherwise fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement and does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days of written notice from Customer (said notice specifying the nature of the failure), Customer shall have, in addition to any other rights under this Agreement or in law, the right to reduce its purchase commitment obligation under Section 2.5.1 hereof.

2.6 Subcontractors.

2.6.1 Subject to approval by the applicable Government Entity if required by a Government Contract, (a) Customer consents that Albemarle may engage, for the duration of the Term, Solid State Chemical Information, Inc., 3065 Kent Avenue, West Lafayette, Indiana, as subcontractor to provide PSD and XRD analytical services required for testing of micronized and unmicronized Product in accordance with the Specifications, and (b) Customer also consents that Albemarle may engage, for the duration of the Term, SGS Northview Laboratories, 1880 Holste Road, Northbrook, IL 60062, as subcontractor to provide microbiological and bacterial endotoxin testing analytical services required for analysis of Product in accordance with the Specifications, as long as both such subcontractors may perform their respective subcontracts in accordance with all applicable legal requirements and the requirements of this Agreement. Albemarle may not engage any other subcontractors to perform Albemarle’s obligations under this Agreement, except upon express prior written consent by Customer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld but which will be subject to the approval of the applicable Government Entity as necessary.

2.6.2 The Parties agree and acknowledge that, if, in order to meet Customer’s requirements, it is necessary that a portion of Customer’s Product requirements be manufactured outside the United States, Albemarle shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to subcontract such portion of the manufacture and testing of the Product to a third party that fulfills the requirements of Customer, provided that (i) Customer shall have the right to prior approval of the proposed subcontractor, and the non-commercial terms of such subcontract, which approval will not be withheld without cause; (ii) any such subcontract will grant Customer the right to oversee and monitor the performance of any such subcontractor in the manner to be agreed by the Parties in good faith, but in no event with less oversight than Customer would have had if the Product had been manufactured by Albemarle under this Agreement; (iii) any such subcontract will contain all of the terms and conditions to which Albemarle is obligated under this Agreement, including any “flow-down” requirements under any Government Contract for which such Product will be used, and (iv) any such subcontract will be subject to the approval of the applicable Government Entity as necessary.

2.6.3 Any such permitted appointment of subcontractors pursuant to Sections 2.6.1 and 2.6.2 hereof shall not affect or diminish Albemarle’s responsibilities and obligations set forth herein and Albemarle shall remain responsible to Customer for the performance of its subcontractors. Albemarle will cause its subcontractors to grant Customer the right to perform annual and “for cause” audits of Albemarle’s subcontractors to evaluate their quality systems and for compliance with cGMP, Applicable Law, Specifications and applicable product and establishment standards. Albemarle represents and warrants that the approved subcontractors are aware of and have agreed to any requirements imposed by Applicable Law on Customer and its contractors and subcontractors, and such subcontractors shall also comply with all relevant obligations imposed on Albemarle under this Agreement, including Customer’s right to place, at Customer’s option, a person in subcontractor’s facility to observe the activities of the subcontractor.

2.7 Albemarle’s Responsibilities; Quality Agreement.

2.7.1 Albemarle shall manufacture the Product and perform the other activities in accordance with this Agreement, the Specifications and Applicable Law. Albemarle shall bear the full cost of manufacturing the Product and shall be responsible to manufacture and/or supply, without limitation, all raw materials, starting materials, source materials, intermediates, labor, facilities, utilities, and the equipment necessary for the manufacture of the Product, setting up of the manufacturing process, and assembling and packaging of the Product, all in accordance with the Specifications. Any materials, including raw materials, purchased by Albemarle in excess of the volume required for manufacture of Product under this Agreement shall remain the property of Albemarle, subject to Section 2.3.3. In addition, Albemarle shall perform the analysis of the micronized form of the Product as set forth in Section 2.12 and Exhibit B, and shall perform the stability studies as set forth in Section 2.11 and Exhibit D.

2.7.2 Albemarle shall abide by the terms and conditions of the Quality Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Quality Agreement”), the provisions of which are integral to its performance of its obligations under this Agreement. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms of the Quality Agreement and the terms of the body of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. The Quality Agreement may only be amended upon written agreement of the Parties, provided that, the Quality Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent necessary to conform with the provisions of any Government Contract, or a quality agreement with any Government Entity required to be entered into pursuant to any such Government Contract. Customer shall provide Albemarle a written notice of any such amendment, and to the extent any such amendment would require Albemarle to incur more expense or commercial effort for adherence to the revised Quality Agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith revised pricing for the sale of the Product hereunder.

2.8 Specifications and Vendors.

2.8.1 The Specifications for Product may only be revised upon written agreement of both Parties, except that Albemarle shall provide its prompt written agreement if the FDA or any other Government Entity requires Customer to revise the Specifications, whether pursuant to Customer’s Government Contracts, cGMP requirements, or otherwise (a “Mandated Specification Change”). If any such Mandated Specification Change or a mutually agreed upon change to the Specifications requires any material change to the manufacturing process or raw materials, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a reasonable adjustment to the Unit Price to be paid by Customer hereunder and the applicable Lead Time. Albemarle and Customer agree that a Mandated Specification Change or mutual agreement to change the Specifications shall not change, effect, modify or alter any other provision of this Agreement with the exception of the Unit Price and the Lead Time. Both Parties understand and agree that material changes in Specifications may affect Unit Price and Lead Time and agree to negotiate in good faith in such cases to arrive at a revised Unit Price and Lead Time mutually agreed in writing by both Parties for all subsequent work affected by such changes in Specifications, provided however, that any Mandated Specification Change that imposes a more stringent Specification, but which Specification is within the demonstrated process capability for the manufacture of the Product, based on relevant available data from all commercial size batches of Product manufactured prior to the date of such change, shall not be considered a material change in the Specifications.

2.8.2 Albemarle has qualified the raw material vendors set forth in Exhibit I. In the event that Albemarle wants to add an alternate raw material vendor, or wants to supply any raw material itself, it must qualify such vendor (including Albemarle) in the manner provided in its standard operating procedures, and provide the results of such qualifying tests to Customer for its approval, which approval will not be withheld without cause.

2.9 Compliance. Albemarle shall maintain the Facility, and shall manufacture the Product, in compliance with the Specifications and all Applicable Law. Albemarle shall allow Customer, at Customer’s option, to place a person in the Facility to observe the commercial manufacturing process.

2.10 Recalls. In the event of a Product or FDP defect or recall caused by Albemarle’s failure to manufacture the Product in accordance with the Specifications and Applicable Law, or its failure to analyze appropriately the micronized form of the Product, Albemarle shall reimburse Customer for the costs related to curing the defect and accomplishing the recall, to the extent such costs result from Albemarle’s failure, provided, that in no event will Albemarle’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.10 exceed the liability limitation set forth in Section 7.2 hereof, except as provided in Section 6.1.2 with regard to any claim by a third party. In all other instances, the costs related to a recall shall be borne by Customer.

2.11 Stability Studies. Albemarle will conduct sixty (60) month stability studies in accordance with Exhibit D.

2.12 Micronized Product Analysis. Albemarle will accept delivery of test samples of micronized form of the Product from the micronizer and perform the analytical testing on each batch in accordance with Exhibit B. Albemarle will use best efforts to provide Customer with an analytical report containing the results of such testing within thirty-five (35) days from the receipt of test samples from the micronizer.

2.13 BARDA Contract Security Corrective Actions Prior to the date of this Agreement the Parties have participated in a pre-award security audit of the Facility conducted by BARDA representatives. Such security audit resulted in BARDA imposing a requirement that certain security corrective actions be implemented by Albemarle as a condition to commencement of Product manufacturing for the BARDA Contract, if it is awarded to the Customer. The Parties agree that, in the event the Customer is awarded the BARDA Contract, at the written request of the Customer Albemarle will perform the security corrective actions described in Exhibit G. Albemarle will commence all physical and information technology security corrective actions described in Exhibit G.2.I within 30 days of receiving technical direction from Customer, and will take all reasonably necessary actions to complete all such corrective actions at least 60 days prior to the start of manufacturing of Product to fill the Base Contract Orders. Albemarle will be reimbursed for the security corrective actions the amounts set forth on Exhibit G.2. In addition, Albemarle will implement the corrective action set forth in Exhibit G.2.II during all manufacturing of Product for the BARDA Contract and will separately invoice Customer for the actual costs incurred by Albemarle for such corrective action. In the event that security corrective actions other than those set forth on Exhibit G are requested by BARDA after the date of this Agreement, Albemarle agrees to perform such additional security corrective actions to the extent reasonably practicable. The Parties agree that in the event such additional security corrective actions are necessary, they will negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on a reimbursement amount for each such additional security corrective action.

3. SUPPLY OF PRODUCT

3.1 Shipment. Albemarle shall ship the released Product FCA Facility, Freight Collect, (per Incoterms 2000) to such location as designated in writing by Customer. The purchase order shall set forth the transport means and company selected by Customer for shipping the Product, provided that in the event a designated carrier is unable to ship Product on schedule, Albemarle will obtain an alternate carrier designation from Customer. Title and risk of loss and damages to the Product ordered by Customer hereunder shall pass to Customer upon delivery of the Product to the transporting carrier.

3.2 Product Release. Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.2.1 and 3.2.2, batch review and release of Product for shipment to Customer’s shipping point will be the responsibility of Albemarle’s Quality Assurance department, who will act in accordance with Albemarle’s standard operating procedures. For each batch of Product released by Albemarle for shipment, Albemarle will deliver to Customer, at the same time it ships such batch, (i) a certificate of compliance that will include a statement that the batch has been manufactured in accordance with cGMP and the Specifications, and (ii) a copy of the Batch Documentation and COA.

3.2.4 For the first four (4) batches of Product ordered by the Customer only, the following additional batch release procedure shall be followed. Upon completion of each such batch and the review of all Batch Documentation by Albemarle’s Quality Assurance department, Albemarle shall forward to Customer, electronically or by overnight mail, completed Batch Documentation. Customer shall use reasonable efforts to complete its review of the Batch Documentation within seven (7) working days of receiving it from Albemarle (the “Customer Review Period”). Subject to the results of its review, Customer will approve the Product for release and upon receipt of Customer’s approval Albemarle shall deliver to Customer the final COA, and release and ship the Product to the Customer’s designated shipping point by the shipping method designated by the Customer.

3.2.5 Any problem discovered by either Party during its quality assurance reviews will be communicated to the other Party directly along with any supporting documentation of the problem. The communication shall occur within three (3) business days after the discovery of the problem. The Product will be immediately placed in quarantine until Albemarle and the Customer have met and determined the final disposition of the Product. The resolution of any such problem shall be accomplished in accordance with the Quality Agreement.

3.3 Packaging and Labeling. Albemarle shall package the Product in accordance with the Specifications, and in compliance with the applicable labeling requirements of FDA and all other Applicable Law regarding the labeling, materials and containers applicable to the Product. Albemarle shall label the Product with such labels, trade names, and trademarks as directed by Customer.

3.4 Freight and Insurance. Customer shall pay all freight, insurance charges, taxes, import and export duties, inspection fees and other charges applicable to the transport and delivery of the Product.

3.5 Rejection and Cure. Customer shall notify Albemarle within one hundred twenty (120) days of Albemarle’s shipment of any batch of Product if it believes that the batch was damaged, defective or did not conform to the Specifications or Applicable Law. In addition to any remedy available to Customer under Sections 2.5.2(c), 2.10 or 6.1.2, Customer’s remedy under this Section 3.5 against Albemarle for any failure to supply a batch of conforming Product is expressly limited to one of the following (as may be elected by Customer at its sole option):


(i)	Albemarle will provide a replacement batch of conforming Product to Customer at no additional cost and on a schedule acceptable to Customer and reimburse Customer for the shipping and micronization costs, if any, incurred by Customer for the non-conforming batch, or


(ii)	refund within 10 business days to the Customer the full aggregate Price for such non-conforming batch of Product, plus shipping and micronization costs, if any, incurred by the Customer with respect to such non-conforming batch of Product.

This limitation shall apply to all claims with respect to non-conforming Product under this Section 3.5, whether stated in contract, warranty, tort, strict liability, infringement of third party rights or any other legal or equitable claim whatsoever. If Albemarle disputes the above referenced notice of rejection with respect to non-conforming Product, the Parties will each retest the rejected Product within thirty (30) days of Albemarle’s notice of dispute. If the Parties, after retesting the rejected Product continue to have conflicting test results, the matter shall be referred to a laboratory selected by Customer from the list included on Exhibit H (or other mutually agreed upon laboratory) to perform tests on representative samples from the rejected portion of the shipment. The results of such tests will be binding upon Customer and Albemarle. If the laboratory determines that the Product was non-conforming, Albemarle will pay for all laboratory charges; if the laboratory determines that Customer rejected the Product in error, then Customer will pay for all laboratory charges. Rejected Product will be returned to Albemarle or disposed of at Albemarle’s expense in accordance with Albemarle’s instructions, in which case Customer will deliver to Albemarle an appropriate certificate of destruction. If Albemarle requests, Customer will make its personnel available on a reasonable basis to work with Albemarle in order to assist Albemarle in determining the reason for the non-conformity and in developing remedial measures.

3.6 Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure of performance resulting from any circumstance (other than the payment of money owed) beyond the reasonable control of such Party (a “Force Majeure Event”), which may include: fire, storm, flood, act of God, war, earthquake, explosion, sabotage, epidemic, quarantine restrictions, embargo, expropriation, strikes or other labor trouble, failure of the usual means of production or of transportation, or shortage of labor, raw materials, or shortage of utilities, fuel and/or energy. Subject to Section 3.7, Albemarle shall not be obligated to make up any deficiencies in delivery due to any such shortage except by written mutual agreement. In the event Albemarle experiences a Force Majeure Event that continues for more than one-hundred thirty-five (135) days, Customer may, in addition to any other rights or remedies it may have under this Agreement or in law, terminate this Agreement without cost or penalty, except to pay Albemarle for all work performed and reimburse for all costs incurred up to the termination date, not to exceed the applicable Price.

3.7 Apportionment.

4.2.2 Albemarle may raise or lower the Unit Price set forth in Section 4.1 due to increases or decreases in raw material costs over the Base Raw Material Cost on the eighteen month anniversary of the Effective Date, and upon each subsequent twelve month anniversary date thereafter, upon written notice to Customer provided no less than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable anniversary date (a “Raw Material Price Adjustment Notice”). Such revised Unit Price shall be applicable for all batches of Product ordered after the eighteen-month anniversary of the Effective Date hereof, or any subsequent anniversary date set forth above. At the request of the Customer Albemarle shall furnish Customer with documentation demonstrating the raw material cost changes from the Base Raw Material Cost. If, after receipt of such documentation, Customer is not in agreement with such adjustment, then Customer shall notify Albemarle in writing, and the Parties shall agree to an independent, qualified, third party audit company whose services shall be retained to determine whether or not such Unit Price increases or decreases meet the terms of this Agreement. In the event the proposed Unit Price adjustment shall be deemed to have been warranted by the third party auditor, Customer shall pay for all costs related to such audit services. In the event the proposed price adjustment shall be deemed to not have been warranted by the third party auditor, Albemarle shall pay for all costs related to such audit.

4.2.3 Upon no less than thirty (30) days’ notice prior to the eighteen month anniversary of the Effective Date, and each twelve month anniversary date thereafter, Albemarle shall also be entitled, but not obligated, to raise the Unit Price set forth herein to reflect increases in non raw material costs incurred in the manufacture of Product.

Each invoice shall reference the purchase order to which the invoice relates and the quantity of the Product actually shipped. Payments shall be sent to the “Remit to” address set forth on the invoice. Should Customer dispute any portion of an invoice, it shall so notify Albemarle in writing and the Parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve said dispute.

4.5 Payment. Customer shall pay all amounts due in U.S. dollars, payable within forty-five (45) days of the date of the corresponding invoice.

6.1.1 By Customer. Customer shall defend, indemnify and hold Albemarle harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (“Losses”) resulting from all claims, demands, actions and other proceedings by any third party to the extent arising from (a) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Customer under this Agreement, (b) any bodily injury to person (including death) or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by the Product or the use thereof (subject to Section 6.1.2(a) or 6.1.2(b)), or (c) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Customer in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Customer be liable to Albemarle for its special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or other indirect damages, including, loss of profit or loss of business goodwill, arising from or relating to damages suffered by Albemarle as a result of a third party claim for which indemnification is owed. Customer’s obligation under this Section 6.1.1 is strictly limited to indemnification for amounts due a third party.

6.1.2 By Albemarle. Albemarle shall defend, indemnify and hold Customer and its affiliates, and its and their officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against all losses, liabilities, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) resulting from all claims, demands, actions and other proceedings by any third party (including any subcontractor of Albemarle) to the extent arising from (a) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Albemarle under this Agreement, including any such breach arising as a result of the action or omission of any Albemarle subcontractor, or (b) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Albemarle or any subcontractor in the performance of Albemarle’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Albemarle be liable to Customer for its special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages or other indirect damages, including, loss of profit or loss of business goodwill, arising from or relating to damages suffered by Customer as a result of a third party claim for which indemnification is owed. Albemarle’s obligation under this Section 6.1.2 is strictly limited to indemnification for amounts due a third party.

6.1.3 Patents. Except as provided in Section 6.1.2, Customer will hold Albemarle harmless against expense, judgment or loss, including reasonable attorneys' fees, (a) if the manufacture or sale of the Product as a staple article or commodity of commerce infringes a valid patent in the country of manufacture, or (b) for infringement of any patents or trademarks or other third party property rights which result from Customer's particular use of the Product or from Albemarle's compliance with Customer's designs, specifications or instructions. Albemarle's instructions and recommendations are not intended to suggest operations which would infringe any patents, and Albemarle assumes no responsibility for any such infringement. If Albemarle receives a written notice from a third party claiming that the manufacture, sale or use of the Product infringes such third party’s patent then (a) Albemarle shall notify Customer thereof and provide a copy of such notice to Customer, and (b) Albemarle may, without liability to Customer, decline to continue deliveries of any Product following Albemarle’s receipt of such notice, unless, within fifteen (15) business days after Albemarle provides a copy of such notice to Customer, Customer notifies Albemarle in writing that Customer will defend Albemarle, at Customer’s cost and expense, and, in accordance with Sections 6.1.3 and 6.1.4, will indemnify and hold harmless the Albemarle Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses (as defined in Section 6.1.1) arising from such claim provided that Customer provides reasonable assurances to Albemarle of its financial ability to meet the financial obligations related to any such indemnity.

6.1.4 Indemnity Procedure. A Party (the “Indemnitee”) that intends to claim indemnification under this Section 6 shall promptly notify the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding for which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification. The Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel to participate in the defense at Indemnitee’s own expense, subject to Indemnitor’s right to control the defense. The indemnity obligations under this Section 6 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding if such settlement is effected without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure to deliver notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after notice of any such claim or demand, or the commencement of any such action or other proceeding shall not relieve such Indemnitor of all liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 6 with respect thereto, but if such failure is prejudicial to the Indemnitor’s ability to defend such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, and if such prejudice results in liabilities that may have been avoided or reduced if timely notice had been given, then the Indemnitor shall be relieved of said part of the liabilities. The Indemnitor may not settle or otherwise consent to an adverse judgment in any such claim, demand, action or other proceeding, that diminishes the rights or interests of the Indemnitee without the prior express written consent of the Indemnitee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnitee, its employees and agents, shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any claim, demand, action or other proceeding covered by this Section 6.

6.2 Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, at all times during the Term, adequate and appropriate insurance coverage from one or more reputable insurance companies, each rated A- or better by AM Best and licensed to do business in the United States. Such insurance shall include products/completed operations coverage with limits of liability of no less than [redacted] per occurrence/claim and in the aggregate. Each Party shall, at the other Party’s request, furnish to the other Party a certificate of insurance.

6.3 Attorneys’ Fees. If suit is filed to enforce any right granted in this Agreement, the substantially prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs, disbursements and reasonable attorneys’ fees from the other Party. The Party who is awarded a net recovery against the other shall be deemed the substantially prevailing Party unless such other Party has previously made a bona fide offer of payment in settlement and the amount of recovery is the same or less than the amount offered in settlement. Reasonable attorneys’ fees may be recovered regardless of the forum in which the dispute is heard, including an appeal.

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO A BREACH OF SECTION 5, IN NO EVENT OR INSTANCE SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, INCLUDING, LOSS OF PROFIT OR LOSS OF BUSINESS GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED UPON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF SUCH DAMAGES.

WHEREAS:


I.	By lease elated October 29, 2012 (the "Overlease") between Etoile

660 Mad ison LLC ("Overland lord"), as land lord, and Sublandlord, as tenant (the "Overlease"), Sublandlord leased from Overland lord a portion of the seventeenth (17th) floor of the building (the "Building") located at 660 Madison Avenue, New York, New York (as the same are shown on the floor plan annexed to the Overlease as Schedule B); and

I.Subtenant desires to sublet from Sublandlord all of the premises leased by Sublandlord pursuant to the Overlease (for purposes of this Sublease, the "Sublease Premises"), upon the terms and subject to the provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth;

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, i n consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter contained, do hereby agree as follows:

1.Term. Sublandlord hereby sublets the Sublease Premises to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby hires the Sublease Premises from Sublandlord , for a term (the "Term")

commencing on the date (the "Commencement Date") upon which all of the following shall have occurred : (i) a fully executed duplicate original of this Sublease shall have been delivered to Subtenant; and (ii) the Commencement Date of the Overlease, and which shall encl on the clay immediately preceding the expiration date of the Overlease (the "Expiration Date"), unless

sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Sublease.


1.	Rent and Additional Rent.

A.Subject to the provisions of Subparagraph 2C below, Subtenant covenants and agrees that Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord fixed rental ("Fixed Rent") at the same rates then payable by Sublandlord pursuant to the Overlease . Subtenant agrees to pay all Fixed Rent to Sublandlord, in lawful money of the United States, in equal monthly installments

in advance, on the first (1st) clay of each calendar month during the Term, without any deduction, offset, abatement, defense and/or counterclaim whatsoever; it being agreed, however, that Subtenant shall not be required to pay Fixed Rent and/or additional rent pursuant to this

Sublease, during any period that Fixed Rent or additional rent, as applicable, shall not be payable under the Overlease. Without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant's obligation to pay Fixed Rent shall not commence until the end of the Free Fixed Rental Period (as the same may be extended ) under the Overlease. Subtenant has heretofore paid the first (1st) monthly installment of Fixed Rent. The monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable on account of any partial calendar month during the Term, if any, shall be prorated.

B. In addition to the Fixed Rent payable hereunder, Subtenant covenants to pay as additional rent, all amounts that are required to be paid to Overlandlord as additional rent pursuant to the Overlease, including, without limitation, all amounts payable under Article 5 and Article 6 of the Overlease, and which are payable with respect to the Sublease Premises for periods occurring wholly or in part within the Term of this Sublease, as calculated and in the manner provided in the Overlease.

A.Except to the extent that the parties hereto agree that such payments may be made to Subland lord by wire transfer, all payments of Fixed Rent and additional rent (Fixed Rent and additional rent are collectively referred to herein as "rent") shall (as the parties may agree), be made by good and sufficient check (subject to collection) currently elated, issued directly from Subtenant, without endorsements, to the order of MacAnclrews & Forbes Group, LLC, or to Overlandlord. Furthermore, in any instance where the Overlease provides for payment to Overlandlord, Subtenant's sole obligation shall be (as applicable) to make such payment directly to Overland lord or reimburse Sublandlorcl for the actual amount

paid by Sublandlord to Overlandlord (without any markup to Sublandlord), and with the express agreement that there shall be no duplicate payments by Subtenant of any amounts.

B.In the event that rent is clue under the Overlease with respect to any period which follows the Expiration Date, Subtenant's obligations hereunder on account of such rent shall be appropriately prorated.

C.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, all sums of money, other than Fixed Rent, as shall become due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be deemed to be additional rent, and Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of non-payment of additional rent as are available to Sublandlord for the non-payment of Fixed Rent.

1.Use of the Sublease Premises. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Sublease Premises for executive and general business office purposes only, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Overlease (the "Permitted Use"), as well as such ancillary uses as are permitted under the Overlease, and for no other purpose , and further covenants not to do any act which will result in a violation of the Overlease.


1.	Incorporation of Overlease Terms.

A.All capitalized and other terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Overlease, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

B. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Overlease are hereby made a part hereof. The rights and obligations contained in the Overlease are, during the term of this subletting, hereby imposed upon the respective parties hereto, Sublandlord as being substituted for Overland lord , and Subtenant being substituted for Sublandlord with respect to the Overlease; provided, however , that Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in performance by Overlandlord under the Overlease of the corresponding covenant of the Overlease, and Sublandlord's obligations hereunder are accordingly conditional where such obligations require such parallel performance by Overlandlord. It is expressly agreed that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to perform any obligation which is the obligation of Overland lord under the Overlease. Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant by reason of the default of Overland lord under the Overlease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or omitted from Paragraph 8 below, Subtenant recognizes that Sublandlord is not in a position and shall not be required to render any of the services or utilities, to make repairs, replacements, restorations, alterations or improvements or to perform any of the obligations required of Overland lord by the terms of the Overlease and agrees that Sublandlord shall not be bound by any of Overlandlord's representations concerning the Building (including the Sublease Premises). Sublandlord agrees, however, to use reasonable efforts to enforce its rights against Overlandlord under the Overlease for the benefit of Subtenant upon Subtenant's written request therefor (and to forward to Overlandlord any notices or requests for consent as Subtenant may reasonably request). Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord for any and all costs which Sublandlord shall incur in expending such efforts. Furthermore, and without limiting any of the other provisions of this Sublease, Subtenant does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred by Sublandlord in expending such efforts. Nothing contained in this Subparagraph 4B shall require Sublandlord to institute any suit or action to enforce any such rights; provided,

however, that at the request of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant to institute an action or proceeding against Overlandlord (an "Overlease Enforcement Proceeding") in the name of Sublandlord (or, without Sublandlord making any kind of representation or warranty that Subtenant shall have the privity or standing to do so, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant to institute an action or proceeding against Overland lord in Subtenant's own name) to enforce Sublandlord's rights under the Overlease which are applicable to Subtenant, provided that: (i) Subtenant shall not then be in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease following notice and the expiration of any applicable cure periods; and (ii) such action shall be prosecuted at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant, and Subtenant shall agree to indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred or suffered by Sublandlord in connection with such action or proceeding. Subtenant acknowledges that the failure of Overland lord to provide any services or comply with any obligations under the Overlease shall not entitle Subtenant to any abatement or reduction in rent except to the extent that Sublandlord receives a corresponding abatement or reduction in rent pursuant to the Overlease. Sublandlord hereby agrees that Subtenant may send requests for additional services, or notices with respect to service related issues, directly to Overland. At Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with copies of any notices that Subtenant sends to Overland lord.

A.Wherever the Overlease refers to the "Demised Premises" such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Sublease Premises.

B.Wherever the Overlease refers to the "Expiration Date" such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Expiration Date of this Sublease.

C.Sublandlord represents that, to the knowledge of Sublandlord, as of the date hereof, the Overlease annexed hereto as Exhibit "A" and made a part hereof is a true and complete copy of the Overlease.

1.Sublease Subject to Overlease.

A.This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Overlease and to the matters to which the Overlease is or shall be subordinate. In the event that the Overlease shall be cancelled or terminated prior to the expiration date of this Sublease, whether by

voluntary or involuntary means or by operation of law or for any reason whatsoever, then this Sublease shall also terminate. Subtenant hereby covenants that, throughout the Term, Subtenant shall observe and perform all of the provisions of the Overlease which are to be observed and performed by the tenant thereunder other than the covenant to pay rent to the Overlandlord.

Subtenant covenants that Subtenant shall not do any act, matter or thi ng which will be, result in, or constih1te a violation or breach of or a default under the Overlease; it being expressly agreed to by Subtenant that any such violation, breach or default shall constitute a material breach by Subtenant of a substantial obligation under this Sublease. Subtenant hereby agrees that Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims, liabilities, penalties and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising from or i n connection with any default by Subtenant in Subtenant's performance of those terms, covenants and conditions of the Overlease which are or shall be applicable to Subtenant, as above provided, and all amounts payable by Subtenant to

Sublandlord on account of such indemnity shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be payable within ten (10) days following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or omitted from Paragraph 8 below, in any case where the consent or approval of Overlandlord shall be required pursuant to the Overlease, Subtenant shall not be required to obtain a corresponding consent or approval from Sublandlord. Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant may request any required consents or approvals directly from Overlandlord.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Overlandlord shall require that Sublandlord (rather than Subtenant) deliver such consent or approval requests, or that Sublandlord join in any such requests with Subtenant, then Sublandlord shall, as applicable, and at no cost to Subtenant, join in such requests or directly issue such requests. Furthermore, in any instance where the Overlease permits the Overlandlord to assess a charge, Subtenant's sole obligation shall be (as applicable) to pay such charge directly to Overlandlord or reimburse

Sublandlord for the actual amount charged to Overlandlord (without any markup to Sublandlord) and with the express agreement that there shall be no duplicate payments by Subtenant of the amounts in question.

B.Subtenant agrees to be bound, for all purposes of this Sublease, by any modifications or amendments to the Overlease. Sublandlord shall not, without Subtenant's consent agree to amend or modify the Overlease in any way that would increase Subtenant's obligations hereunder, or decrease Subtenant's rights with respect to the Permitted Use of the Sublease Premises, or which would otherwise materially adversely affect Subtenant's rights or obligations hereunder or seek to terminate the Overlease.

1.Alterations. Subtenant shall not perform or make any Alterations without complying with the provisions of Article 8 of the Overlease, including, but not limited to, obtaining the prior consent of Overland lord (as required). Subtenant shall not be required to

At Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord within twenty (20) clays following demand for all amounts charged by Overlandlord in com1ection with any of Subtenant's Alterations; with it being agreed, however, that no charges shall be separately assessed by Sublandlord .

1.Occupancy Tax. If any commercial rent or occupancy tax shall be levied with regard to the Sublease Premises during the Term, Subtenant shall pay the same either to the taxing authority, or, if appropriate, to Sublandlord, as additional rent, not less than twenty (20) clays before the clue elate of each and every such tax payment. In the event that any such tax payment shall be made by Subtenant to Sublandlord, Sublandlord shall remit the amount of such payment to the taxing authority on Subtenant's behalf.

1.Non-Applicability of Certain Provisions of the Overlease. The following provisions of the Overlease shall not be incorporated into this Sublease by reference: Article 6, to the extent that the incorporation by reference thereof would be construed as requiring

Sublandlord to assume any of Overlandlord's obligations thereunder or permitting Sublancllord to cause the provision of any services to be discontinued; Article 7 to the extent that the

incorporation by reference thereof would be construed as requiring Sublandlord to assume any of Overlandlord's obligations thereunder; Section 11.14; Section 15.04; Section 17.04; Article 23; Article 31; Article 35; Section 39.01 (except for the last sentence thereof); Section 39.02; Schedule C; Schedule J; Schedule K; and Schedule L.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Overlease and/or this Sublease (but with the understanding that Overlandlord shall complete the work specified in the Overlease), Subtenant agrees to accept possession of the Sublease Premises in "as is" and "where is" condition on the Commencement Date, and Sublandlord shall not be required to perform work of any kind, nature or description to prepare the Sublease Premises for Subtenant's occupancy or make any contribution for work to be performed by Subtenant.

A.Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Subtenant shall vacate and surrender the Sublease Premises in the manner required pursuant to the Overlease.

B. The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Sublandlord resulting from any failure by Subtenant to timely surrender possession of the Sublease Premises as aforesaid will be substantial and will exceed the amount of the monthly installments of the rent payable hereunder. Subtenant therefore agrees that, if possession of the Sublease Premises

is not surrendered to Sublandlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, then, in addition to any other right or remedy Sublandlord may have hereunder or at law or in equity, Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims and causes of action which may arise by reason thereof and reimburse Sublandlord for all damages, use and occupancy payments and other amounts that Sublandlord is required to pay Overlandlord pursuant to the Overlease by reason thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Subtenant to retain possession of the Sublease Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease, and no acceptance by Sublandlord of payments from Subtenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term shall be deemed to be

other than on account of the amount to be paid by Subtenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16B, which provisions shall survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease .


1.	Security.

A.Subtenant has heretofore deposited with Sublandlord the sum of

$360,504 .00 (the "Security Deposit Amount"), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Subtenant of all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Sublease. Subtenant agrees that, if Subtenant shall default (following notice and the explanation of an applicable cure period) with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions that shall be the obligation of Subtenant to observe, perform or

Sublandlord

shall not be required to so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security so deposited, but if the whole or any part thereof shall be so used, applied or retained, then Subtenant shall, upon demand, deposit with Sublandlord an amount in cash equal to the amount so used , applied or retained, so that Sublandlord shall have the entire Security Deposit Amount on hand at all times during the Term. In the event that Subtenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Sublease, the Security shall be returned to Subtenant after the Expiration Date and delivery of exclusive possession of the entire Sublease Premises to Sublandlord. In the event of an assignment of Sublandlord's interest in, under or to this Sublease: (i) Sublandlord shall transfer the Security to the assignee or lessee or transferee, (ii) Sublandlord shall thereupon be released by Subtenant from all liability for the return of such Security, and (iii) Subtenant agrees to look solely to Sublandlord's successor for the ret urn of said Security; it being agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security to a new Sublandlord.

be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

B.In the event that the amount of the security deposit required under the Overlease shall be increased or decreased, then the Security Deposit Amount shall be increased or decreased by a corresponding amount.

Land lord, the Premises for the term, at the rental and subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements hereinafter set forth:


1.	PREMISES:

1.1 Description. The Premises comprise the area described in Paragraph D of the Summary of Lease Terms, and as shown as crosshatched on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

1.2 Net Rentable Area Defined. The term "Net Rentable Area" is hereby defined for the purposes of this Lease to mean the area of space leased by Tenant (or, in the case of the entire Building, leasable) computed by measuring to the inside finish of permanent outer building walls, to the Premises side of public corridors and/or other permanent partitions and to the center of partitions which separate the adjoining rentable areas, with no deductions for columns and projections in the Building. On multi-tenant floors, common corridors and toilets, air conditioning rooms, fan rooms, janitorial closets, electrical and telephone closets and any other areas serving that floor are considered com mon area and for purposes of this Section shall be al located pro rata to the tenants. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has measured or has waived measurement of the Net Rentable Area of the Premises and Building, and Tenant agrees that the square footage stated in Paragraph D of the Summary of Lease Terms is the Net

Rentable Area for the Premises and Building calculated on the basis of the foregoing definition, and Tenant further agrees to waive any right to contest the amount of such square footage.

2. TERM:

2.1 Tenn.

Generic Lease Dated 09/1419 5

3. RENT:

Commencing on the date set forth in the Addendum,

3.1 Fixed Rent Tenant agrees to pay to Land lord the Fixed Rent (as set

forth in Paragraph F of the Summary of Lease Terms) in equal monthly installments in advance by the fifth of each calendar month of the term of this Lease without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States, at the office of Land lord at Land lord's address for notice as specified in Paragraph M of the Summary of Lease Terms or at such other place as designated by Land lord (the "Fixed Rent"). It is the responsibility of Tenant to ensure that the Rent arrives at the above-mentioned place on or before the due date. If the due date is a weekend or holiday, then Tenant must arrange for earlier delivery. Payments made by mail will be considered late if they do not arrive at the place designated by Landlord on the designated due date.

All amounts of Rent including, without limitation, Fixed Rent, and other sums due under this Lease if not paid when due shall (i) bear interest from the due date until paid at a per annum rate equal to the lesser of (x) the maximum rate allowed by law, or (y) fifteen percent (15%) (The "Default Rate") until fully paid, and (ii) incur a late charge of five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount. Landlord and Tenant agree that the amount of such interest and late charge is fair and reasonable compensation for costs and expenses incurred by Landlord due to the failure by Tenant to timely make any payment of Rent or other sums due under this Lase as such costs and expenses are extremely difficult to estimate and ascertain.

SEE ADDENDUM

3.4 Rent Definition. Fixed Rent, as adjusted in accordance with the terms hereof, and any other sums due to Land lord from Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed to be "Rent" hereunder.

If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent or any other monetary sums due herewith, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or other monetary sums due · herewith and/or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage which Landlord may ·suffer thereby. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Tenant shall, with ten (I 0) days after demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the full amount thereof, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Land lord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts and/or funds. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform all of its obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof that has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned to Tenant, without payment of interest or other increment for its use (or, at Land lord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder), with in ten (10) days after the expiration of the Lease term and after Tenant has vacated the Premises. In the event of termination of Landlord's interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to Landlord's successor in interest whereupon Land lord shall be released from any and all liability for the return thereof or the accounting therefor. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the Security Deposit.

6.	Right of First Refusal on Adjacent Space.

6A. The approximately 7000 square feet of Net Rentable Area indicated as a cross-hatched area on Exhibit A2 (herein referred to as the "First Refusal Area") is part of the premises currently occupied by Health Care Partners ("Health Care Premises"). AntiVirals has a first right of refusal to Lease any portion of the Health Care Premises, except the First Refusal Area. So long as Tenant is not in default in this Lease, Landlord shall not enter into a lease with any third party except Health Care Partners for any portion of the First Refusal Area without delivering to Tenant a written notice ("Landlord's Notice") which gives Tenant the right to lease either the First Refusal Area or the entire portion of the Health Care Premises that would be leased to the third party, on the terms provided herein. The Landlord's Notice shall state the per square foot rate for Fixed Rent which the third party will pay (based on the assumption that the lessee shall also pay its applicable percentage share of Operating Costs and Taxes), the per square foot allowance, if any, for tenant improvements to be provided by Landlord to the third party, the commencement date for the thi rd party lease, the expiration date for the third party Lease, and the approximate amount of square feet in and Location of the portion of the First Refusal Area and the Health Care Premises that the third party desires to lease.

If Tenant fails to timely deliver such written notice to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with the third party on the terms stated in Landlord's Notice, and Tenant shall have no further interest in the portion of the First Refusal Area leased to the thi rd party.

6B. If Tenant does timely deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its right to lease the First Refusal Area, then the entire First Refusal Area shall become part of Tenant's Premises as of the commencement date stated in Landlord's notice, and shall be leased by Tenant until the longer of the expiration date stated in Landlord's Notice or the term of this Lease. If the third party desired to lease more than 7000 square feet of the Health Care Premises, then Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the First Refusal Area at a rate that is one hundred ten percent (110 %) of the rate stated in Landlord's Notice (in addition to the percentage share of Operating Costs and Taxes applicable to the First Refusal Area); if the third party desired to lease 7000 or less square feet, then Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the First Refusal Area at the rate stated in Landlord's Notice (in addition to the percentage share of Operating Expenses and Taxes applicable to the First Refusal Area). Landlord shall make available to Tenant the per square foot tenant improvement allowance, if any, as stated in the Landlord's notice. Except as provided above, the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply to Tenant's lease of the First Refusal Area.

6C. If Tenant does timely deliver notice to Landlord of Tenant's exercise of its preference to lease the entire portion of the Health Care Premises desired by the third party, then Landlord shall immediately take steps to ascertain whether AntiVirals will exercise or waive its first right of refusal on the portion of the Health Care Premises outside the First Refusal Area. If AntiVirals waives its rights, then the entire portion of the Health Care Premises desired by the third party shall become part of the Premises as of the commencement date stated in Landlord's Notice, and shall be leased by Tenant until the longer of the expiration date stated in Landlord's Notice or the term of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the new space at the rate stated in Landlord's Notice (in addition to the percentage share of Operating Expenses and Taxes applicable to the new space). Landlord shall make available to Tenant the per square foot tenant improvement allowance, if any, as stated in Landlord's Notice. Except as provided herein, the terms and provisions of the Lease shall apply to Tenant's lease of the new space. If AntiVirals exercises its first right of refusal on the portion of the Health Care Premises outside the First Refusal Area, then the First Refusal Area shall become part of Tenant's Premises on the terms and conditions described in Subparagraph 6B above.

6D. It is understood that in negotiations with third parties to lease space in the Building (including all or portions of the Health Care Premises), Landlord has the right to lease out the First Refusal Area first, even though other unaffected portions of the Health Care Premises and/or other portions of the Building may be vacant and remain vacant.

6E. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Paragraph 6 of the Addendum, if Tenant fails to exercise its option to extend this Lease as provided in Paragraph 4 of this Addendum, then Tenant shall have no further right, under this Paragraph 6, to enter into a lease of the First Refusal Area (or any other portion of the Health Care Premises) after January 2, 2004. If Tenant exercises its option to extend the Lease but has not exercised its right to lease the First Refusal Area before the commencement of the last year of the Extended Term, Tenant shall have no further right, under this Paragraph 6, to enter into a lease of the First Refusal Area (or any other portion of the Health Care Premises), unless the Lease is further extended by mutual agreement of Tenant and Landlord.
