AMENDED & RESTATED ASSET CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

This Amended & Restated Asset Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 7, 2017 (the “Execution Date”), by and between BioXcel Corporation, a Delaware corporation located at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“BioXcel”), and BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“BTI”).

 

WHEREAS, BioXcel identified a number of therapeutic candidates using its proprietary artificial intelligence-powered research and development engine known as ‘EvolverAI’; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of BioXcel determined that it was in BioXcel’s best interest to restructure its business in order to realize the full potential of its assets, including such therapeutic candidates; and

 

WHEREAS, in accordance with the restructuring plan, BioXcel formed BTI, a product development biotechnology company, to develop and commercialize certain of the therapeutic candidates; and

 

WHEREAS, to allow such work to be carried out by BTI, BioXcel and BTI entered into certain agreements including an Asset Contribution Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by which BioXcel contributed certain assets and liabilities to BTI pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof (the “ACA”); and

WHEREAS, BioXcel desires to transfer to BTI certain additional assets and liabilities and grant to BTI certain rights in future therapeutic candidates identified by BioXcel pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties now agree to amend and restate the ACA as follows:

 

1.              Contribution of Assets & Option.

 

A.            Initial Contribution of Assets.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, BioXcel hereby agrees to sell, contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to BTI, and BTI agrees to acquire from BioXcel, all of BioXcel’s right, title and interest in and to BXCL701, BXCL702, BXCL501, and BXCL502 (collectively, the “Candidates”), and all of the assets associated with the Candidates, other than those specified to be Retained Assets (as defined below), (collectively, the “Assets”), free and clear of any security interest, lien, charge, option, claim or other encumbrance (each, a “Lien”), other than those Liens listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Permitted Liens”). The Assets include the following to the extent used or held for use in connection with the Candidates as of the Effective Date:

 

a.              The intellectual property set forth on Schedule 1(a) (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”);

 

b.              All goodwill associated with the Assets;

 

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

c.               Except as set forth in Section 4 below, all of BioXcel’s rights under the Contracts (as defined below);

 

d.              All documentation, notebooks, logs, data and records associated with the Assets, and any other information necessary for the development of the Assets;

 

e.               All marketing and advertising materials in hard or soft copy, including without limitation, printed promotional materials and labels associated with the Assets;

 

f.                All claims, causes of action, rights of recovery, rights of setoff and rights of recoupment, whether or not known as of the Effective Date, relating to BioXcel’s ownership of the Assets; and

 

g.               All rights under or pursuant to all warranties, indemnities, representations, guarantees and similar rights, whether or not known as of the Effective Date, in favor of BioXcel with respect to the Candidates or the Assets;

 

h.              The Tangible Assets (as defined below); and

 

i.                  The assets specifically identified in Schedule 1(i).

 

B.            Option to Negotiate for Additional Product Candidates.  BioXcel hereby grants to BTI a first right to negotiate exclusive rights to any additional product candidates in the fields of Neuroscience and Immuno-oncology (the “Option Field”) that BioXcel may identify wholly on its own or under arrangements with third parties, and not in connection with BioXcel’s provision of services to BTI under the Parties’ Amended & Restated Separation and Shared Services Agreement.  For clarity, this option shall not apply to any additional product candidates identified by BioXcel in connection with services BioXcel provides to BTI pursuant to the Parties’ Amended & Restated Separation and Shared Services Agreement (including, without limitation services that involve the use of EvolverAI) because all such additional product candidates identified in connection with such services would be considered to be “Developments” (as defined in that agreement) already owned by BTI.  This option for first negotiation shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of the IPO (as defined below). Within sixty (60) days of identifying a potential product candidate in the Option Field, BioXcel shall present such identified candidate to BTI.  BTI shall then have up to one hundred eighty (180) days in which to evaluate such product candidate (the “Evaluation Period”).  If BTI wishes to negotiate for the exclusive rights to such product candidate, BTI shall so notify BioXcel in writing prior to the end of the Evaluation Period, and if BTI so notifies BioXcel, BTI and BioXcel shall negotiate in good faith commercially reasonable terms by which BTI can receive BioXcel’s rights to such product candidate.  If BioXcel and BTI are unable to mutually agree, in writing, within ninety (90) days after the end of the Evaluation Period to terms regarding BTI’s rights to develop and/or commercialize such product candidate, BioXcel shall be free to develop and/or commercialize such product candidate either by itself or with one or more third parties.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, BTI’s rights and obligations set forth in this Section 1.B shall apply and be effective only from and after BTI’s completion, on or before December 31, 2018, of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of share of common stock (and any other securities of BTI that may be sold along with such shares of common stock in any such public offering) (“IPO”).

 

C.            Exclusivity in Option Field.  Prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the IPO, BioXcel shall not develop drugs, or engage in preclinical discovery for the purpose of developing drugs, in the Option Field for or on behalf of a third party, utilizing EvolverAI or otherwise.  In support of the foregoing, BioXcel shall inform third parties with which it enters into collaborations or other arrangements that BTI holds a first right to negotiate for BioXcel’s rights in product candidates in the Option Field and the 

 

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

duration of such right of BTI.  BioXcel’s covenant as set forth in this Section 1.C and BTI’s right of first negotiation as set forth in Section 1.B shall not prevent or interfere with BioXcel’s rights to the EvolverAI platform or use of the EvolverAI platform by third parties as long as BioXcel does not provide collaborative services to, or actively support, such third party in its evaluation of the results of the EvolverAI research and development engine to develop drugs in the Option Field.

 

2.              Retained Assets. The assets set forth on Schedule 2 shall be retained by BioXcel and shall not be sold or assigned to BTI (the “Retained Assets”).

 

3.              Assumption of Liabilities.  As of the Effective Date, BTI shall assume and will be responsible for and pay, perform, and discharge when due all liabilities associated with the Assets, including without limitation, payment of any fees required to maintain any registrations and applications for registration arising from the ownership or use of the Intellectual Property due on and after the Effective Date, and all obligations and liabilities of BioXcel under the Contracts to the extent that those obligations and liabilities relate to the period after the Effective Date, in each case exclusive of any liability or obligation arising thereunder as a result of any breach, default or failure of BioXcel to perform any covenants or obligations required to be performed by BioXcel prior to the Effective Date. In addition to the liabilities described in the previous sentence, in consideration of BioXcel’s contribution of the Assets to BTI, BTI shall assume from BioXcel and be responsible for all liabilities set forth on Schedule 3, hereto (all liabilities assumed by BTI, including liabilities set forth on Schedule 3, the “Assumed Liabilities”).

 

4.              Assignment of Contracts. To the extent that any Contract is not capable of being assigned or transferred without the consent or waiver of the other party thereto or any third party, or if such assignment or transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer would constitute a breach thereof, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer thereof, or an attempted assignment or transfer of any such Contract.  Schedule 4 lists those Contracts that BioXcel believes are not assignable without the written consent of the other party thereto (the “Required Consents”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any consents and approvals of third parties required for the transfer to BTI of any of the Assets, including the Required Consents, that are not obtained or cannot be obtained without any conditions adverse to BTI or without any obligations imposed on BTI not specified in the Contract for which consent is being obtained prior to the Effective Date (the “Non-Assignable Contracts”), such Non-Assignable Contracts shall be held, as of and from the Effective Date, by BioXcel in trust for BTI and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by BTI in BioXcel’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for BTI’s account.  BioXcel shall take or cause to be taken at BTI’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as BTI may reasonably request so as to provide BTI with the benefits of the Non-Assignable Contracts and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Non-Assignable Contracts, and BioXcel shall promptly pay over to BTI all money or other consideration received by it in respect of the Non-Assignable Contracts.  As of and from the Effective Date, BioXcel authorizes BTI, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Contracts, at BTI’s expense, to perform all of the obligations and receive all the benefits of BioXcel under the Non-Assignable Contracts.

 

5.              Intellectual Property Registrations.  BioXcel shall authorize and request that any officials of any state or foreign country whose duty it is to issue intellectual property registrations (including letters patent) (a) issue all registrations from any from any applications for registrations, and (b) transfer any applications or registration as applicable, in each case that are included in the Intellectual Property to BTI at BioXcel’s expense.

 

6.              Consideration.  The full consideration for the contribution of the Assets hereunder shall be:

 

a.              The issuance by BTI to BioXcel of Forty Thousand (40,000) shares of common stock of BTI.

Such amounts shall be determined in accordance with from the books and records of the applicable party using generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and may include using accrual accounting where applicable.

 

c.               BTI shall pay to BioXcel the amount due under Section 6.b within sixty (60) days after the achievement of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in cumulative Net Sales as set forth above.

 

d.              BTI shall pay BioXcel One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as a lump sum within thirty (30) days after closing of the IPO.

GRID NOTE

 

	
Up to US $1,000,000
    	
 
    	
June 30, 2017
    

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation with an office at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“Payor”), unconditionally promises to pay to the order of BioXcel Corporation, a Delaware corporation with an office at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“Payee”), the principal sum of ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000), or so much thereof as shall have been advanced by Payee to or on behalf of Payor, together with interest on the unpaid balance of each advance, which shall accrue at a rate per annum equal to the applicable federal rate for short-term loans as of the date hereof, in each case calculated based on a 365-day year and actual days elapsed. The obligations of Payor under this Grid Note (this “Note”) shall be senior indebtedness of Payor and shall rank senior to all other indebtedness.

 

This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. Advances under this Note may be requested either orally or in writing by Payor, for the exclusive benefit of Payor in furtherance of conducting its business. All advances under this Note require the prior written approval of Payee and a record thereof shall be maintained in Exhibit A to this Note, provided, however, that the failure to so record shall in no way limit Payor’s obligations with respect to repayment of principal or interest on any advance.

 

The entire balance of principal and accrued interest thereon shall be due and payable within 18 months upon execution or receiving a cumulative amount of TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000) of financing, whichever is earlier.

 

If this Note is not paid on demand, Payor agrees to pay, in addition to the unpaid principal and accrued interest, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attempting or effecting payment or collection hereunder, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not suit is instituted.

 

Payor shall have the right at any time to prepay this Note, in whole or in part, without penalty, subject to the qualification, however, that no partial prepayment of the original sum shall in any way release, discharge or affect the obligation of Payor to make full payment in the amount of the balance of said principal sum at time of demand. Each and every payment (including all partial payments or prepayments) received by the Payee hereunder shall be applied first to any penalties for which the Payor is responsible under this Note which have not yet been paid, then to outstanding interest and then to outstanding principal. If any payment under this Note shall be specified to be made on a day which is not a business day, it shall be made on the next succeeding day which is a business day.

 

The amounts due hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Payee at his address above, or at such other place as the holder of this Note shall from time to time designate, in immediately available funds.

 

No failure on the part of Payee or any other holder of this Note to exercise and no delay in

 

 

exercise by Payee or any other holder of this Note of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other right, remedy or power.

 

This Note shall be binding upon Payor and its successors and assigns.

 

THIS NOTE IS AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT. ANY CLAIMS OR LEGAL ACTIONS BY ONE PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF THIS NOTE SHALL BE COMMENCED AND MAINTAINED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT, AND PAYOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY, IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING.

 

Diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind are hereby waived by Payor and all sureties, guarantors and endorsers hereof, if any.

 

In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in any respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this Note, then, and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other provision of this Note, and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative and in full force and effect, shall be valid, legal and enforceable, and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Payor has caused this Note to be executed as of the date and year first above written.

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

AMENDED & RESTATED ASSET CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

 

This Amended & Restated Asset Contribution Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of November 7, 2017 (the “Execution Date”), by and between BioXcel Corporation, a Delaware corporation located at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“BioXcel”), and BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation located at 780 East Main Street, Branford, CT 06405 (“BTI”).

 

WHEREAS, BioXcel identified a number of therapeutic candidates using its proprietary artificial intelligence-powered research and development engine known as ‘EvolverAI’; and

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of BioXcel determined that it was in BioXcel’s best interest to restructure its business in order to realize the full potential of its assets, including such therapeutic candidates; and

 

WHEREAS, in accordance with the restructuring plan, BioXcel formed BTI, a product development biotechnology company, to develop and commercialize certain of the therapeutic candidates; and

 

WHEREAS, to allow such work to be carried out by BTI, BioXcel and BTI entered into certain agreements including an Asset Contribution Agreement, dated as of June 30, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by which BioXcel contributed certain assets and liabilities to BTI pursuant to the terms and conditions thereof (the “ACA”); and

 

WHEREAS, BTI accepted certain assets and liabilities from BioXcel pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ACA; and

 

WHEREAS, BioXcel desires to transfer to BTI certain additional assets and liabilities and grant to BTI certain rights in future therapeutic candidates identified by BioXcel pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties now agree to amend and restate the ACA as follows:

 

1.              Contribution of Assets & Option.

 

A.            Initial Contribution of Assets.  On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, BioXcel hereby agrees to sell, contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to BTI, and BTI agrees to acquire from BioXcel, all of BioXcel’s right, title and interest in and to BXCL701, BXCL702, BXCL501, and BXCL502 (collectively, the “Candidates”), and all of the assets associated with the Candidates, other than those specified to be Retained Assets (as defined below), (collectively, the “Assets”), free and clear of any security interest, lien, charge, option, claim or other encumbrance (each, a “Lien”), other than those Liens listed on Schedule 1 (collectively, the “Permitted Liens”). The Assets include the following to the extent used or held for use in connection with the Candidates as of the Effective Date:

 

a.              The intellectual property set forth on Schedule 1(a) (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”);

 

b.              All goodwill associated with the Assets;

 

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

c.               Except as set forth in Section 4 below, all of BioXcel’s rights under the Contracts (as defined below);

 

d.              All documentation, notebooks, logs, data and records associated with the Assets, and any other information necessary for the development of the Assets;

 

e.               All marketing and advertising materials in hard or soft copy, including without limitation, printed promotional materials and labels associated with the Assets;

 

f.                All claims, causes of action, rights of recovery, rights of setoff and rights of recoupment, whether or not known as of the Effective Date, relating to BioXcel’s ownership of the Assets; and

 

g.               All rights under or pursuant to all warranties, indemnities, representations, guarantees and similar rights, whether or not known as of the Effective Date, in favor of BioXcel with respect to the Candidates or the Assets;

 

h.              The Tangible Assets (as defined below); and

 

i.                  The assets specifically identified in Schedule 1(i).

 

B.            Option to Negotiate for Additional Product Candidates.  BioXcel hereby grants to BTI a first right to negotiate exclusive rights to any additional product candidates in the fields of Neuroscience and Immuno-oncology (the “Option Field”) that BioXcel may identify wholly on its own or under arrangements with third parties, and not in connection with BioXcel’s provision of services to BTI under the Parties’ Amended & Restated Separation and Shared Services Agreement.  For clarity, this option shall not apply to any additional product candidates identified by BioXcel in connection with services BioXcel provides to BTI pursuant to the Parties’ Amended & Restated Separation and Shared Services Agreement (including, without limitation services that involve the use of EvolverAI) because all such additional product candidates identified in connection with such services would be considered to be “Developments” (as defined in that agreement) already owned by BTI.  This option for first negotiation shall be valid for a period of five (5) years from the date of the IPO (as defined below). Within sixty (60) days of identifying a potential product candidate in the Option Field, BioXcel shall present such identified candidate to BTI.  BTI shall then have up to one hundred eighty (180) days in which to evaluate such product candidate (the “Evaluation Period”).  If BTI wishes to negotiate for the exclusive rights to such product candidate, BTI shall so notify BioXcel in writing prior to the end of the Evaluation Period, and if BTI so notifies BioXcel, BTI and BioXcel shall negotiate in good faith commercially reasonable terms by which BTI can receive BioXcel’s rights to such product candidate.  If BioXcel and BTI are unable to mutually agree, in writing, within ninety (90) days after the end of the Evaluation Period to terms regarding BTI’s rights to develop and/or commercialize such product candidate, BioXcel shall be free to develop and/or commercialize such product candidate either by itself or with one or more third parties.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, BTI’s rights and obligations set forth in this Section 1.B shall apply and be effective only from and after BTI’s completion, on or before December 31, 2018, of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of share of common stock (and any other securities of BTI that may be sold along with such shares of common stock in any such public offering) (“IPO”).

 

C.            Exclusivity in Option Field.  Prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the IPO, BioXcel shall not develop drugs, or engage in preclinical discovery for the purpose of developing drugs, in the Option Field for or on behalf of a third party, utilizing EvolverAI or otherwise.  In support of the foregoing, BioXcel shall inform third parties with which it enters into collaborations or other arrangements that BTI holds a first right to negotiate for BioXcel’s rights in product candidates in the Option Field and the 

 

 

Portions of this Exhibit, indicated by the mark “[***],” were omitted and have been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Registrant’s application requesting confidential treatment pursuant to Rule 406 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

duration of such right of BTI.  BioXcel’s covenant as set forth in this Section 1.C and BTI’s right of first negotiation as set forth in Section 1.B shall not prevent or interfere with BioXcel’s rights to the EvolverAI platform or use of the EvolverAI platform by third parties as long as BioXcel does not provide collaborative services to, or actively support, such third party in its evaluation of the results of the EvolverAI research and development engine to develop drugs in the Option Field.

 

2.              Retained Assets. The assets set forth on Schedule 2 shall be retained by BioXcel and shall not be sold or assigned to BTI (the “Retained Assets”).

 

3.              Assumption of Liabilities.  As of the Effective Date, BTI shall assume and will be responsible for and pay, perform, and discharge when due all liabilities associated with the Assets, including without limitation, payment of any fees required to maintain any registrations and applications for registration arising from the ownership or use of the Intellectual Property due on and after the Effective Date, and all obligations and liabilities of BioXcel under the Contracts to the extent that those obligations and liabilities relate to the period after the Effective Date, in each case exclusive of any liability or obligation arising thereunder as a result of any breach, default or failure of BioXcel to perform any covenants or obligations required to be performed by BioXcel prior to the Effective Date. In addition to the liabilities described in the previous sentence, in consideration of BioXcel’s contribution of the Assets to BTI, BTI shall assume from BioXcel and be responsible for all liabilities set forth on Schedule 3, hereto (all liabilities assumed by BTI, including liabilities set forth on Schedule 3, the “Assumed Liabilities”).

 

4.              Assignment of Contracts. To the extent that any Contract is not capable of being assigned or transferred without the consent or waiver of the other party thereto or any third party, or if such assignment or transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer would constitute a breach thereof, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or transfer thereof, or an attempted assignment or transfer of any such Contract.  Schedule 4 lists those Contracts that BioXcel believes are not assignable without the written consent of the other party thereto (the “Required Consents”). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any consents and approvals of third parties required for the transfer to BTI of any of the Assets, including the Required Consents, that are not obtained or cannot be obtained without any conditions adverse to BTI or without any obligations imposed on BTI not specified in the Contract for which consent is being obtained prior to the Effective Date (the “Non-Assignable Contracts”), such Non-Assignable Contracts shall be held, as of and from the Effective Date, by BioXcel in trust for BTI and the covenants and obligations thereunder shall be performed by BTI in BioXcel’s name and all benefits and obligations existing thereunder shall be for BTI’s account.  BioXcel shall take or cause to be taken at BTI’s expense such actions in its name or otherwise as BTI may reasonably request so as to provide BTI with the benefits of the Non-Assignable Contracts and to effect collection of money or other consideration that becomes due and payable under the Non-Assignable Contracts, and BioXcel shall promptly pay over to BTI all money or other consideration received by it in respect of the Non-Assignable Contracts.  As of and from the Effective Date, BioXcel authorizes BTI, to the extent permitted by applicable law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Contracts, at BTI’s expense, to perform all of the obligations and receive all the benefits of BioXcel under the Non-Assignable Contracts.

 

5.              Intellectual Property Registrations.  BioXcel shall authorize and request that any officials of any state or foreign country whose duty it is to issue intellectual property registrations (including letters patent) (a) issue all registrations from any from any applications for registrations, and (b) transfer any applications or registration as applicable, in each case that are included in the Intellectual Property to BTI at BioXcel’s expense.

 

6.              Consideration.  The full consideration for the contribution of the Assets hereunder shall be:

 

a.              The issuance by BTI to BioXcel of Forty Thousand (40,000) shares of common stock of BTI.

b.

Such amounts shall be determined in accordance with from the books and records of the applicable party using generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and may include using accrual accounting where applicable.

 

c.               BTI shall pay to BioXcel the amount due under Section 6.b within sixty (60) days after the achievement of Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000) in cumulative Net Sales as set forth above.

 

d.              BTI shall pay BioXcel One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as a lump sum within thirty (30) days after closing of the IPO.

There is no claim, litigation, proceeding or governmental investigation pending or, to BioXcel’s knowledge, threatened, or any order, injunction, or decree outstanding, against BioXcel, that would prevent or have a material adverse effect on the rights, duties or obligations of the parties as set forth in this Agreement.

 

f.
