In addition to the merger consideration paid at closing as described in Note 13, Lev shareholders received the non-transferrable contractual right to two contingent payments (“CVR Payments”) of $0.50 each that could deliver up to an additional $174.6 million, or $1.00 per share in cash, if Cinryze meets certain targets. The first CVR payment of $0.50 per share would become payable when either (i) Cinryze is approved by the FDA for acute treatment of HAE and the FDA grants orphan exclusivity for Cinryze encompassing the acute treatment of HAE to the exclusion of all other human C1 inhibitor products or, (ii) orphan exclusivity for the acute treatment of HAE has not become effective for any third party’s human C1 inhibitor product for two years from the later of the date of closing and the date that orphan exclusivity for Cinryze for the prophylaxis of HAE becomes effective. The second CVR payment of $0.50 per share would become payable when Cinryze reaches at least $600.0 million in cumulative net product sales within 10 years of closing.

As of December 31, 2004, the Company leased an aggregate of 119,000 square feet in two facilities located in Exton, Pennsylvania for its corporate and development activities under operating leases expiring in 2008 and 2017, respectively. The total remaining obligation under these leases total $12.2 million. During February 2005, the Company reached a tentative agreement with its landlord to exit the lease that expires in 2008. The Company recorded a $1.1 million charge during 2004 related to this transaction, which is an estimate of the payment it will make to the landlord to exit the lease, which it expects to occur in the second quarter of 2005. Should the Company finalize this agreement, the total remaining obligation it will owe under these leases will be $9.2 million, which includes the expected termination charge. The facility the Company is exiting represents 86,000 square feet of space to which the lease expires in 2008. After the termination, the Company will have 33,000 square feet in one facility under an operating lease that expires in 2017. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had a $1.5 million liability on its consolidated balance sheet related to the remaining lease payments and the expected termination payment.

 

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $1.7 million in its marketing, general and administrative expenses relating to 33,000 square feet of leased space in the facility leased through 2017. This charge was an estimate of the then present value of the loss it might incur over the remaining 13 years of the lease and was net of assumed sublease income estimated at that time. During July

2004, it moved to this facility and reversed the remaining accrual. As a result of this move, it no longer occupied the 86,000 square feet in the building with a lease expiring in 2008 and established a new provision in July 2004 based upon the new space requirements, which represented the value of the lease payments, net of expected future rental income.

 

As part of the Company’s manufacturing agreement with Eli Lilly & Company, it has certain minimum purchase requirements of Vancocin for a period of time less than one year, on a rolling basis, which at December 31, 2004 totaled $7.7 million. The Company is not contractually obligated to any amount of purchases past this time period, and cannot reasonably estimate the amount of Vancocin which it may be obligated to purchase in the future.

 

The Company’s future minimum lease payments under the aforementioned leases, including the entire contractual amounts for the lease the Company expects to terminate in 2005, and other operating leases related to equipment for years subsequent to December 31, 2004 are as follows (in thousands):
