Commercial Services and Loan Agreements with Eversana	8. Commercial Services and Loan Agreements with Eversana On January 21, 2020, the Company entered into a commercial services agreement (the “Eversana Agreement”) with Eversana for the commercialization of Gimoti. Pursuant to the Eversana Agreement, Eversana will commercialize and distribute Gimoti in the United States, if approved by FDA. Eversana will manage the marketing of Gimoti to gastroenterologists and other targeted health care providers, as well as the sales and distribution of Gimoti to wholesalers, pharmacies and other customers within the United States. Under the terms of the Eversana Agreement, the Company maintains ownership of the Gimoti NDA, as well as legal, regulatory, and manufacturing responsibilities for Gimoti. Eversana will utilize its internal sales organization, along with other commercial functions, for market access, marketing, distribution and other related patient support services. The Company will record sales for Gimoti and retain more than 80% of net product profits once the parties’ costs are reimbursed. Eversana will receive reimbursement of its commercialization costs pursuant to an agreed upon budget and a percentage of product profits in the mid-to-high teens. Net product profits are the net sales (as defined in the Eversana Agreement) of Gimoti, less (i) reimbursed commercialization costs, (ii) manufacturing and administrative costs set at a fixed percentage of net sales, and (iii) third party royalties. During the term of the Eversana Agreement, Eversana agreed to not market, promote, or sell a competing product in the United States. The term of the Eversana Agreement is from January 21, 2020 until five years from the date, if any, that FDA approves the Gimoti NDA. Upon expiration or termination of the agreement, the Company will retain all profits from product sales and assume all corresponding commercialization responsibilities. Within 30 days after each of the first three annual anniversaries of commercial launch, either party may terminate the agreement if net sales of Gimoti do not meet certain annual thresholds. Either party may terminate the agreement: for the material breach of the other party, subject to a 60-day cure period; in the event an insolvency, petition of the other party is pending for more than 60 days; upon 30 days written notice to the other party if Gimoti is subject to a safety recall; the other party is in breach of certain regulatory compliance representations under the agreement; the Company discontinues the development or production of Gimoti; Gimoti is not commercially launched within nine months of FDA approval, if any, or the net profit is negative for any two consecutive calendar quarters beginning with the first full calendar quarter 24 months following commercial launch; or if there is a change in applicable laws that makes operation of the services as contemplated under the agreement illegal or commercially impractical. Either party may also terminate the Eversana Agreement upon a change of control of the Company’s ownership, subject, in the event that the Company initiates such termination, to a one-time payment equal to between two times and one times annualized service fees paid by the Company under the Eversana Agreement, with such amount based on which year after commercial launch the change of control occurs. Such payment amount would be reduced by the amount of previously reimbursed commercialization costs and profit split paid for the related prior twelve month period and any revenue which occurred prior to the termination yet to be collected. In addition, Eversana may terminate the Eversana Agreement if Gimoti is not approved by FDA by December 31, 2020 (provided Eversana gives the Company notice of such termination no later than March 1, 2021), or if the Company withdraws Gimoti from the market for more than 90 days. The Company may also terminate the agreement if the parties are unable to agree to a commercialization plan and budget within 75 days of the date of the Eversana Agreement. In addition, in connection with the Eversana Agreement, the Company and Eversana have entered into the Eversana Credit Facility, pursuant to which Eversana has agreed to provide a revolving Credit Facility of up to $5.0 million to the Company upon FDA approval of the Gimoti NDA, if any, as well as certain other customary conditions. The Eversana Credit Facility is secured by all of the Company’s personal property other than the Company’s intellectual property. Under the terms of the Eversana Credit Facility, the Company cannot grant an interest in the Company’s intellectual property to any other person. Each loan under the Eversana Credit Facility will bear interest at an annual rate equal to 10.0%. The Company may prepay any amounts borrowed under the Eversana Credit Facility at any time without penalty or premium. The maturity date of all amounts, including interest, borrowed under the Eversana Credit Facility will be 90 days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Eversana Agreement. The Eversana Credit Facility also includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which provide Eversana with the right to exercise remedies against the Company and the collateral securing the loans under the Eversana Credit Facility, including the Company’s cash. These events of default include, among other things, the Company’s failure to pay any amounts due under the Eversana Credit Facility, an uncured material breach of the representations, warranties and other obligations under the Eversana Credit Facility, the occurrence of insolvency events and the occurrence of a change in control. On January 23, 2020, the Company and Novos Growth, LLC mutually agreed to terminate, effective immediately, a commercialization agreement entered into in January 2019.
