Note 3 — Distribution and License Agreement with Arthrex
 
On August 7, 2013, we entered into a Distributor and License Agreement (the “Arthrex Agreement”) with Arthrex, Inc., a privately held Florida based company (“Arthrex”). Under the terms of the Arthrex Agreement, Arthrex will obtain the exclusive rights to sell, distribute, and service the Angel Concentrated Platelet System and ActivAt (“Products”), throughout the world, for all uses other than chronic wound care. We granted Arthrex a limited license to use our intellectual property as part of enabling Arthrex to sell the Products. Arthrex will purchase Products from us to distribute and service at certain purchase prices, which may be changed after an initial period. Arthrex has the right, on written notice to us, to assume responsibility for the manufacture and supply of the Products, either by assuming our existing manufacturing and supply agreements or by entering into new manufacturing and supply agreements. Arthrex will also pay a certain royalty rate based upon volume of the Products sold. The exclusive nature of Arthrex rights to sell, distribute and service the Products is subject certain existing supply and distribution agreements such that Arthrex may instruct us to terminate or not renew any of such agreements. In addition, Arthrex’s rights to sell, distribute and service the Products is not exclusive in the non-surgical dermal and non-surgical aesthetics markets. In connection with the execution of the Arthrex Agreement, Arthrex agreed to pay us a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5.0 million. The term of the Arthrex Agreement is five years, automatically renewable for an additional three-year period unless Arthrex gives us a termination notice at least one year in advance of the end of the initial five-year period. The Arthrex Agreement contains other terms and provisions that are customary to the agreements of this nature.
 
Immediately following the execution of the Arthrex Agreement and at the request of Arthrex, we agreed to temporarily provide certain services to Arthrex during a transition period (“Transition Services”). These Transition Services primarily involve customer service, sales order fulfillment, customer billing and collections, and technical support for the Products. For these services, Arthrex will pay us an agreed upon fee. The Transition Services period concluded in the first quarter of 2014.
