1.01 Entry into Material Definitive
Agreements
On July 25, 2008, ProUroCare Medical Inc. (the Company, we or us)
entered into two agreements with Artann Laboratories Inc. of West Trenton, New
Jersey (Artann). Under the first
agreement, the License Agreement, Artann granted to the Company an exclusive,
worldwide, sublicensable license to certain patent applications and trade
secrets to make, use and market certain mechanical imaging products for the
diagnosis and treatment of urologic disorders of the prostate, kidney or liver.
Artann also agreed to transfer
possession of five fully functional prostate imaging systems to the Company and
provide the Company full access to all relevant technical documentation and
information thereto. As consideration,
we agreed to pay, on the effective date of the agreement, a cash licensing fee
of $600,000 and shares of our common stock valued at $500,000. We also agreed to pay Artann a royalty on
sales
of products that would otherwise infringe on patents or patent applications
owned by Artann. This royalty will be
equal
to four percent on the first $30 million of net sales of
such products, three percent on the next $70 million of net sales and two
percent on net sales over $100 million.
Further,
a technology royalty
equal to one percent of net sales
of
products that incorporate Artanns inventions, concepts, processes and other
technology shall apply from the date
of first commercial sale of such
products until the earlier of December 31, 2016 or the date of last
commercial sale of such products.
The combined royalties are subject
to a minimum annual royalty equal to $50,000 per year for each of the first two
years after clearance by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for
commercial sale and $100,000 per year for each year thereafter until
termination or expiration of the License Agreement. We also agreed to grant Artann a
non-exclusive
fully paid, sub-licensable, royalty free and worldwide
license for Artann to make, use or sell any mechanical imaging system
for the diagnosis or treatment of disorders of the breast. The License Agreement will become effective
on the tenth day after the close of
one or more public or
private equity offerings in which we raise at least $4 million or November 30,
2008, whichever is first to occur.
The License Agreement will terminate upon the
expiration of all royalty obligations, by failure of either party to cure a
breach of the agreement within a 60-day cure period, if we fail to make a
payment to Artann and such failure is not cured within a 30-day cure period or
should one of the parties become insolvent, go into liquidation or receivership
or otherwise lose legal control of its business.
Under the second agreement, the Development
and Commercialization Agreement,
the parties intend to collaborate together to develop, commercialize
and market the ProUroScan prostate mechanical imaging system. Artann will conduct and complete all
pre-clinical activities and testing on the prostate imaging system, conduct clinical
trials, prepare and submit FDA regulatory submissions and provide hardware and
software development, refinement and debugging services to ready the prostate
imaging system for commercial sale. For
these development services, we will pay to Artann cash
milestone payments of $250,000 upon initiation of
an FDA approved clinical study, $250,000 upon completion of that FDA approved
clinical study and submission of an FDA regulatory approval application on the
prostate imaging system and $750,000 upon FDA clearance that allows the
prostate imaging system to be commercially sold in the United States. In addition, we
will issue to Artann shares of our common stock having a value of
$1,000,000 upon completion of the FDA
approved clinical study and submission of an FDA regulatory approval
application for the prostate imaging system and, as a success bonus, we
will issue to Artann shares of our common stock having a value of
$1,000,000 upon
FDA
clearance. The success bonus will be
reduced by ten percent for each month that FDA clearance is delayed following
fifteen months from the effective date of the Development and Commercialization
Agreement. We will also pay Artann a
monthly retainer fee for technical advice and training provided by
Artann personnel during the pre- and post-commercial phases of the project. The monthly retainer fee will be $30,000 per
month for each of the first six months following the effective date of the
Development and Commercialization A
greement and $15,000 per month for the next twelve months.
Additionally,
Artann will supply us with such quantities of the prostate imaging system as is
reasonably required for pre-commercial testing, evaluation, marketing and
clinical study and to facilitate having a third party manufacturer produce the
prostate imaging systems for commercial sale. These pre-commercial and
commercial systems will be sold to us at prices yet to be determined. Qualified Artann personnel shall provide
manufacture and scale-up services to us or a third party manufacturer we
designate to facilitate the commercial manufacture of the prostate imaging
systems at a cost of $1,200 per day per individual for such services.
The effective date of the
Development and Commercialization Agreement is the tenth day after the close of
one or more public or private equity
offerings that raises at least $4 million by the Company or November 30,
2008, whichever is first to occur.
The initial term of the Development and
Commercialization Agreement
is for three years and
may thereafter be renewed for additional one year terms upon mutual agreement
of the parties. The
Development and Commercialization A
greement may also terminate
if we fail to make a payment to Artann and such failure is not cured
within a 60-day cure period or should one of the parties become insolvent, go
into liquidation or receivership or otherwise lose legal control of its
business.
