Exhibit 10.25

 

ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

 

This Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2014, is made by and between DOSE Medical Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”), and Glaukos Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”), with reference to the following facts:

 

A.                                    Seller holds certain assets and patents described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Assets”).

 

B.                                    Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to acquire from Seller, the Assets on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements, provisions and covenants contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Sale of Assets.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall acquire and purchase from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the assets described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Assets”).  Except for the Assets set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, Seller is not selling to Purchaser, nor is Purchaser acquiring or purchasing from Seller, any assets of Seller.

 

2.                                      Excluded Liabilities.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser is not assuming, and shall not assume, at the Closing or otherwise, and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge, any liabilities, obligations or commitments of any nature whatsoever (asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, matured or unmatured or otherwise) of Seller.

 

3.                                      Consideration. The consideration for the Assets shall be $15,000,000 (“Cash Consideration”) plus the forgiveness of all Indebtedness (as defined below) of Seller to Purchaser outstanding as of the Closing.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay Seller the Cash Consideration by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as Seller may specify to Purchaser.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, “Indebtedness” shall mean the indebtedness represented by that certain promissory note, dated May 6, 2010, made by Seller in favor of Purchaser and the indebtedness of Seller to Purchaser reflected in the intercompany receivable account relating thereto on the financial books and records of Purchaser.

 

4.                                      Allocation of Consideration.  Seller and Purchaser agree that the consideration for the Assets shall be allocated among the Assets for all purposes (including tax and financial accounting purposes) as shown on the allocation schedule attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

5.                                      Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Reed Smith LLP, 1901 Avenue of the Stars, Suite 700, Los Angeles, California 90067 immediately following the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to the Closing set forth
