In May 2010, the Company entered into a License and Supply Agreement (the “Kunwha License Agreement”) with Kunwha to develop, manufacture, sell and distribute the Company’s BEMA® Fentanyl product in the Republic of Korea (the “Kunwha Territory”). BEMA® Fentanyl is marketed as ONSOLIS® in North America. The Kunwha License Agreement was for a term beginning on May 26, 2010 until the date of expiration of the patents, or July 23, 2027, whichever is later.

Under the terms of the Kunwha License Agreement, Kunwha was granted exclusive licensing rights for BEMA® Fentanyl in the Kunwha Territory, while the Company will retain all other licensing rights to the Licensed Product not previously granted to third parties. Kunwha paid to the Company an upfront payment of $0.3 million (net of taxes approximating $0.25 million) and was responsible to make certain milestone payments which could have aggregated up to $1.3 million (net of taxes approximating $1.1 million). In August 2015, Kunwha paid to the Company a milestone payment of $0.3 million towards the aggregate total of $1.3 million, however, the Kunwha License Agreement was terminated on August 31, 2015.
