Under the Agreement, the Company granted an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to Transgenomic to develop certain patent rights and other proprietary information of the Company and sell products that use the patent rights and other proprietary information. The Company had the right to terminate the Agreement in the event Transgenomic failed to complete the first commercial sale of a licensed product within 12 months of the date the Agreement was executed, and had the right to terminate the Agreement in the event Transgenomic committed one or more material breaches of the Agreement. Transgenomic failed to complete the first commercial sale of a licensed product within 12 months of the date the Agreement was executed. In addition, Transgenomic committed material breaches of the Agreement, including a breach of the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement. As a result, on February 2, 2010, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Agreement for the aforementioned reasons.
The termination of the Agreement becomes effective 90 days after the date the notice of termination was received by Transgenomic in connection with its failure to complete the first commercial sale of a licensed product within 12 months of the date the Agreement was executed, and becomes effective 45 days after the date the notice of termination was received by Transgenomic in connection with the material breaches of the Agreement that were committed by Transgenomic, including its breach of the confidentiality provisions of the Agreement.
The Company did not incur any early termination penalties in connection with its decision to terminate the Agreement.
