Note 4: License Agreement

On August 1, 2013, we entered into an agreement to initially license and, with an additional closing payment fully acquire from 3M Company and 3M Innovative Properties Company (“3M”), certain intellectual property and assets relating to 3M’s Taper Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI) technology under development for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (“COPD”).  The intellectual property includes patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relating to the Taper assets.  

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we made an initial non-refundable payment to 3M of $3 million and obtained an exclusive worldwide license to the assets and intellectual property in all indications in the dry powder inhalation field.  Upon a subsequent closing payment by Adamis of an additional $7 million before December 31, 2013, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, ownership of the assets and intellectual property will be transferred to the Company, with the Company granting back to 3M a license to the intellectual property assets outside of the dry powder inhalation field.

Under the agreement, if we have not made the closing payment and the closing has not occurred by December 15, 2013, then 3M may in its discretion elect to accept payment of the closing payment by delivery of a number of shares of our common stock equal to $14,000,000 divided by the average of the closing prices of the common stock for the 30 trading days preceding the business day before the closing date. 

If the closing does not occur by December 31, 2013, then the exclusive license converts to a non-exclusive license, and 3M can license, transfer, assign or otherwise enter into any transaction involving the assets with any third party.  If after December 31, 2013, 3M sells or enters into an agreement with a third party to sell or exclusively license in any territory any of the assets, then 3M may terminate the agreement with us.  If before June 30, 2014, 3M has not entered into such an agreement with a third party and the Company tenders the closing payment in cash plus a premium of $1,000,000, and the other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, then the assets will be transferred to the Company with the same effect as if the closing had occurred before December 31, 2013.  If the closing does not occur by June 30, 2014, 3M may terminate the agreement.  The agreement includes other customary provisions including representations and warranties, warranty disclaimers and indemnification provisions.
