Royalty agreements.

 

Effective January 3, 2008, WCI entered into separate exclusive license agreements with both Applied Nutritionals, LLC (“Applied”) and its founder George Petito (“Petito”), pursuant to which WCI obtained the exclusive world-wide license to make products incorporating intellectual property covered by a patent related to CellerateRX products. The licenses were limited to the human health care market, (excluding dental and retail) for external wound care (including surgical wounds) and include any new product developments based on the licensed patent and processes and any continuations. Although the term of these licenses expired on February 27, 2018, the agreements permitted WCI to continue to sell and distribute products through August 27, 2018. Subsequent to the expiration of the license agreement between the Company and Applied, an exclusive sublicense was acquired by a CGI affiliate to distribute CellerateRX products into the wound care and surgical markets in the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Company and CGI entered into definitive agreements on August 27, 2018 that continued operations to market CellerateRX through Cellerate, LLC, a newly formed entity in which the Company and CGI each have a 50% ownership interest.

 

In consideration for the licenses, WCI agreed to pay Applied and Petito, (in the aggregate), the following royalties, beginning January 3, 2008: (a) an advance royalty of $100,000; (b) a royalty of 15% of gross sales occurring during the first year of the license; (c) an additional

advance royalty of $400,000 on January 3, 2009; plus (d) a royalty of 3% of gross sales for all sales occurring after the payment of the $400,000 advance royalty. In addition, WCI must maintain a minimum aggregate annual royalty payment of $375,000 for 2009 and thereafter if the royalty percentage payments made do not meet or exceed that amount. The amounts listed in the two preceding sentences are the aggregate of amounts paid/owed to Applied and Petito, and the Company has paid the minimum aggregate annual royalty payments each year since 2008, including both 2017 and 2016.

 

On September 29, 2009, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Resorbable Orthopedic Products, LLC (“Resorbable”) and Resorbable’s members, pursuant to which, the Company acquired substantially all of Resorbable’s assets, in exchange for (i) 500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, and (ii) a royalty equal to eight percent (8%) of the net revenues generated from products sold by the Company or any of its affiliates, which products are developed from or otherwise utilize any of the patented technology acquired from Resorbable.
