        Investment in Limited Liability Company

On

August 8

,

2017,

the Company entered into an exclusive Distributorship Agreement (the “Distributorship Agreement”) with InControl Medical, LLC (“ICM”), a Wisconsin limited liability company focused on women's health, pursuant to which the Company will directly market, promote, distribute and sell ICM’s products to licensed medical professional offices and hospitals.

Under the terms of the Distributorship Agreement, ICM agreed to

not

directly or indirectly appoint or authorize any

third

party to market, promote, distribute or sell any of the licensed products to any licensed medical professional offices and hospitals in the United States. In exchange, the Company agreed to

not

market, promote, distribute or sell (or contract to do so) any product which substantially replicates all or almost all of the key features of the licensed products.

The Company has a minimum purchase requirement to purchase a certain quantity of ICM products per month during the term of this Distributorship Agreement. In addition, the parties agreed to certain mutual marketing obligations to promote sales of the licensed products.

In connection with the Distributorship Agreement, the Company also entered into a Membership Unit Subscription Agreement with ICM and the associated limited liability company

operating agreement of ICM, pursuant to which the Company invested

$2,500,000

in, and acquired membership units of, ICM. This investment has been recorded in investment in a limited liability company in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company used the equity method to account for the investment in ICM because the Company does

not

control it, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over it. The Company’s allocated portion of ICM’s results of operations for the

three

and

nine

months ended

was immaterial.
