(c) Other Claims.

On May 15, 2012, Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cedarburg") sent the Company a letter (the "Demand Letter") setting forth a demand for indemnification under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2009 (the "Cedarburg SPA"), by and among Cedarburg, InB: Hauser Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., InB: Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Company. In the Demand Letter, Cedarburg demanded payment by the Company of $0.6 million in respect of the Company's indemnification obligations under the Cedarburg SPA. In addition, in the Demand Letter, Cedarburg informed the Company that there are also environmental issues pending which may lead to additional costs to Cedarburg which will likely be in excess of $300.

On May 30, 2012, the Company sent a letter responding to the Demand Letter and setting forth the Company’s position that it has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded. On June 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to the Company’s letter and, on July 27, 2012, the Company sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating its position that the Company has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded. On December 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to the Company’s letter and, on January 15, 2013, the Company sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating its position that the Company has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded. As of September 8, 2014, the Company has not received any further communication from Cedarburg with respect to its demand for indemnification as set forth in the Demand Letter. The Company intends to vigorously contest Cedarburg's demand as set forth in the Demand Letter.
