Purchase Obligations

 

At September 30, 2013, the Company is obligated to a vendor for certain contractual services to be performed in fiscal 2014. Pursuant to the contract, the Company is required to make a $1.2 million payment to the vendor unless the contract is terminated by the Company for cause.

 

Collaborations

 

The Company is contractually obligated to make potential future success-based regulatory milestone payments in conjunction with a certain collaborative agreement. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum amount that may be payable in the future under the Company’s current collaborative agreement is $2.0 million, $1.4 million of which is reimbursable by a third party under a separate agreement.
