COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution, and selling rights and licenses granted to the Company, the Company has agreed to pay royalties on sales of certain products that it sells. The royalty payments that the Company made under these agreements were not significant for any of the periods presented.
The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the ordinary course of the Company's business, including claims by current or former employees, distributors and competitors and with respect to its products and product liability claims, lawsuits and proceedings, some of which have been settled by the Company. In the opinion of management, such claims are either adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified, or are not expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a material, adverse effect on the Company's financial condition. However, it is possible that the Company's results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular period could be materially affected by these contingencies.
TEI, acquired by Integra on July 17, 2015, manufactures a bovine-derived surgical mesh product for Boston Scientific Corporation ("BSC") and has been named as a defendant in lawsuits under a broad range of products liability theories, many of which have not been served on TEI. As of March 31, 2018, only ten active cases remained against TEI. Pursuant to an indemnification agreement with BSC (i) BSC is managing the litigation; and (ii) TEI has in place a product liability insurance policy, of which it must exhaust $3.0 million before BSC’s indemnity begins to cover relevant claims (and of which only a small portion has been utilized to date and against which the insurer has reserved the entire $3.0 million). Because the thrust of products liability litigation focuses on synthetic surgical mesh products, counsel is filing motions to dismiss on behalf of TEI in many cases. In addition, Integra has certain protections in the merger agreements with TEI which would indemnify it for approximately $30.0 million for the first fifteen months after closing and between $20.0 and $30.0 million for the remainder of the three-year period after closing for losses relating to a variety of matters, including half of certain products liability claims (including those related to the product it manufactures for BSC) not covered by insurance. As of April 26, 2018, no indemnification payments were received nor owed in relation to the lawsuits.
The Company accrues for loss contingencies when it is deemed probable that a loss has been incurred and that loss is estimable. The amounts accrued are based on the full amount of the estimated loss before considering insurance proceeds and do not include an estimate for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with the loss contingency. The Company consistently accrues legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies as those fees are incurred by outside counsel as a period cost.
Contingent Consideration
The Company determined the fair value of contingent consideration during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 to reflect the change in estimate, additions, payments, transfers and the time value of money during the period.
A reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of these Level 3 measurements for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

On January 15, 2014, the Company acquired all outstanding shares of Confluent Surgical, Inc., ("Confluent Surgical"). The purchase price includes contingent consideration. The potential maximum undiscounted contingent consideration of $30.0 million consists of $25.0 million upon obtaining certain U.S. governmental approvals (the "U.S. Contingent Consideration") and $5.0 million upon obtaining certain European governmental approvals, both related to the completion of the transition of the Confluent Surgical business. The U.S. Contingent Consideration is subject to adjustment to reduce the amount of maximum payment based on the timing of obtaining the U.S. governmental approval up to the minimum of $19.0 million. The fair values of contingent consideration related to the acquisition of Confluent Surgical were estimated using a discounted cash flow model using discount rate of 2.2%. In March 2018, the Company received the U.S. governmental approvals and adjusted the related contingent consideration liability to $19.0 million which the Company paid in April 2018. The Company expects to receive the European governmental approvals and pay the related contingent consideration liability within the next twelve months.

The Company assesses these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional information affecting the assumptions is obtained. The contingent consideration balance was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Supply Agreement Liability and Above Market Supply Agreement Liability
On January 15, 2014, the Company entered into a transitional supply agreement with Covidien Group S.a.r.l ("Covidien"). This agreement contains financial incentives to Covidien for the timely supply of products each fiscal quarter through the third anniversary of the agreement. The prices paid under the supply agreement were essentially flat through the third anniversary of the agreement, and then increase significantly in each of the following three years.
The Company determined the fair value of its supply agreement liability and above market supply agreement liability with Covidien during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 to reflect the payments, change in estimate and the time value of money during the period.
A reconciliation of the opening balances to the closing balances of these Level 3 measurements is as follows (amounts in thousands):

The fair values of supply agreement liability and above market supply agreement liability were estimated using a discounted cash flow model using a discount rate of 12.0%. The Company assesses these assumptions on an ongoing basis as additional information impacting the assumptions is obtained. The above market supply agreement liability - short-term was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

There are no transfers between level 1, 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. If the Company's estimate regarding the fair value of its contingent consideration liabilities, supply agreement liability and above market supply agreement liability are inaccurate, a future adjustment to these estimated fair values may be required which could change significantly.

BioD

On April 7, 2017, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, BioD filed an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division, Middlesex County seeking a declaration that the resignation of Russell Olsen, the former CEO of BioD, was “for Good Reason” (as defined in Olsen’s employment agreement); a finding that Olsen breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, committed legal fraud, equitable fraud and negligent misrepresentation; and an award of damages for such actions, including a return of severance fees paid to Olsen. BioD was acquired in August 2016 by Derma Sciences, which Integra subsequently acquired in February 2017. After receiving a job offer from Integra that Olsen believed materially diminished his title and authority, on February 24, 2017 Olsen indicated his intention to terminate his position with BioD for Good Reason, as otherwise permitted by his employment agreement with BioD. Shortly thereafter, Cynthia Weatherly (as representative of the former equity owners of BioD) claimed in a letter to Derma Sciences that Olsen’s resignation was a “termination Without Cause” (as also defined in Olsen’s employment agreement), which would arguably trigger an acceleration of the earn out under a merger agreement between Derma Sciences, BioD and other parties (the "BioD Merger Agreement"), which was entered into in July 2016, and require as a result of the acceleration the payment of $26.5 million by BioD. As previously disclosed and described in Note 2 - Business Acquisitions and Divestiture, to the Company's consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2018, Integra assumed this contingent liability in connection with its acquisition of Derma Sciences. The action for a declaratory judgment was filed to clarify that Olsen’s termination was for Good Reason and not Without Cause. If the employment agreement was terminated for Good Reason, then the Company believes that the earn out provision under the BioD Merger Agreement should not be accelerated and the likelihood of loss is remote.
