Commitments and Contingencies | 9. Commitments and Contingencies License Agreement On September 19, 2022, the Company entered into a 15-year exclusive License Agreement ("Agreement") with DRS Daylight Solutions, Inc. ("Daylight"), giving the Company exclusive license and commercialization rights to use certain technology and intellectual property subject to conditions set forth in the Agreement. The Company agreed to pay Daylight (i) an initial, one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable upfront cash payment and (ii) quarterly royalty payments as defined in the Agreement. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company obtains the exclusive, non-transferrable, right and license to use specifically in the field of bioprocessing, the Daylight intellectual property called Culpeo® QCL-IR Liquid Analyzer ("Culpeo"), which is a compact, intelligent spectrometer that uses the power of quantum cascade lasers ("QCLs") to analyze and identify chemicals. Under the Agreement, the Company assumes responsibility for the commercialization and sale of Culpeo, in addition to the ability to incorporate the intellectual property into optimized products over the term of the Agreement. Daylight will continue to sell the products in the specified fields of Aerospace and Defense. Collaboration Agreement In June 2018, the Company secured an agreement with Navigo Proteins GmbH (“Navigo”) for the exclusive co-development of multiple affinity ligands for which the Company holds commercialization rights. The Company is manufacturing and supplying the first of these ligands, NGL-Impact®, exclusively to Purolite Life Sciences, an Ecolab Inc. company (“Purolite”), who is pairing the Company’s high-performance ligand with Purolite’s agarose jetting base bead technology used in their Jetted A50 Protein A resin product. The Company also signed a long-term supply agreement with Purolite for NGL-Impact and other potential additional affinity ligands that may advance from the Company’s Navigo collaboration. In September 2020, the Company and Navigo successfully completed co-development of an affinity ligand targeting the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, to be utilized in the purification of COVID-19 vaccines. The Company has proceeded with scaling up and manufacturing this ligand and the development and validation of the related affinity chromatography resin, which is marketed by the Company. In September 2021, the Company and Navigo successfully completed co-development of a novel affinity ligand that addresses aggregation issues associated with pH sensitive antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins. The Company is manufacturing and supplying this ligand, NGL-Impact® HipH, to Purolite for use in a platform use resin product. The Navigo and Purolite agreements are supportive of the Company’s strategy to secure and reinforce the Company’s proteins business. The Company made royalty payments to Navigo of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and payments of $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
