COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
On September 9, 2015, the Company entered into an Equity Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with neuroFix Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Legacy Corp.), neuroFix, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“neuroFix”), The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation (“CHOP”), Philip Harper, an individual, and Hakon Hakonarson, an individual, pursuant to which the Company acquired all of the equity interests of neuroFix. Immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Legacy Corp. had contributed its business to neuroFix.
 
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Legacy Corp., neuroFix, CHOP, Harper and Hakonarson agreed to consummate the neuroFix Acquisition in consideration for certain upfront, milestone and earnout payments related to certain product sales by the Company. The payments made or to be made by the Company are as follows:
 
·      an upfront payment of $2,000 in cash paid upon the consummation of the neuroFix Acquisition;
·      a payment of $6,000 payable as $2,800 in cash and $3,200 in the Company’s common stock, upon the earlier to occur of (i) the achievement of a corporate milestone and (ii) March 31, 2016. In October 2015, the cash payment was made and 459,770 shares of common shares were issued;
·      additional payments of up to $450,000 upon the achievement of certain developmental, regulatory and sales milestones; and
·      earnout payments equal to a percentage of certain product sales by the Company using tiered rates ranging from the mid-to-high single digits.
 
In addition to the foregoing, in the event a certain product is approved by the FDA for additional indications beyond the initial indication, additional payments of $25,000 for each such additional indication shall be paid by the Company to Legacy Corp. and CHOP.
 
In September 2015, the Company also entered into a reimbursement agreement with Legacy Corp. whereby the Company agreed to reimburse Legacy Corp. for various costs totaling $170.
 
Immediately prior to and in connection with the Acquisition, neuroFix entered into a License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with CHOP, pursuant to which CHOP would license to neuroFix certain technology owned and controlled by CHOP related to ADHD and certain other neurological and neuropsychological indications. Pursuant to the License Agreement, CHOP licenses to neuroFix (coupled with a right to sublicense) certain patent rights and compound know-how on an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing right and license basis, and certain CHOP know-how (other than compound know-how) on a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing right and license basis. CHOP also grants to neuroFix an exclusive option during the term of the License Agreement to negotiate an exclusive license to certain CHOP intellectual property.
 
Pursuant to the License Agreement, CHOP retains rights to the licensed patent rights and know-how to conduct teaching, educational, research and patient care activities itself and to conduct collaborations with certain not-for-profit, governmental, educational or non-commercial third parties and for purposes outside of the field of the license. Under the License Agreement, neuroFix grants to CHOP a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, royalty-free license under all intellectual property rights controlled by neuroFix to make and use certain products for education and non-commercial research purposes.
 
In addition to neuroFix having issued equity to CHOP in partial consideration for the rights granted under the License Agreement (which equity was issued immediately prior to the Acquisition described above), CHOP is eligible for certain milestone and royalty payments under the License Agreement as further described below:
 
·
up to $1.5 million in regulatory and sales milestone payments in connection with each FDA-approved indication obtained by neuroFix utilizing intellectual property licensed under the License Agreement;
·
royalty payments equal to a percentage of certain product sales by neuroFix using a fluctuating rate in the low single digits (adjusted downward to the extent third party royalty payments exceed a certain percentage in a given calendar quarter);
·
annual maintenance fees of equal to or less than $100,000 depending on the year; and
·
a certain percentage (ranging from mid-single digits to the mid-teens depending on if other rights of neuroFix are also licensed to the sublicensee at the same time) of all sublicensee income (except any amounts attributable to sublicensed sales by a certain party in Japan).
 
The License Agreement will terminate, with respect to each product and each territory covered by the License Agreement, upon the later of (i) the expiration of the certain CHOP patent rights and (ii) January 1, 2025, at which time the license rights granted to neuroFix become perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up and royalty-free. The License Agreement could also be subject to termination by CHOP if neuroFix is not achieving certain specified development plans and diligence events and is not undertaking commercially reasonable efforts to achieve such events.
