Note 9.  Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Under the terms of one of the JDAs, the Company is committed to undertake certain research and development activities to the benefit of both itself and its OEM partner which involves expenditures related to engineering efforts and purchases of related equipment. This JDA has an agreed-upon value of up to $50 million, of which the Company has spent $5.4 million as of June 30, 2023.

In December 2021, the Company amended the lease agreement on an office space in Woburn, Massachusetts. The amendment includes an obligation to pay monthly relinquishment charges (equal to the total rental obligation for the duration of the lease term), only if the new tenant does not pay monthly rental amount and lessor has provided a notice to collect the relinquishment charges from the Company. As of June 30, 2023, the Company assessed the probability of any liability to be incurred for relinquishment charges as remote.

Legal Contingencies

From time-to-time, the Company may be subject to claims arising in the ordinary course of business or become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. While the outcome of such claims or other proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company’s management expects that any such liabilities, to the extent not provided for by insurance or otherwise, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Indemnifications

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, partnerships, landlords, vendors, and contractors. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the indemnified party for certain losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these agreements is not determinable. The Company has never incurred costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification provisions. In addition, the Company indemnifies its officers, directors, and certain key employees against claims made with respect to matters that arise while they are serving in their respective capacities as such, subject to certain limitations set forth under applicable law, and applicable indemnification agreements. The Company maintains insurance, including commercial general liability insurance, product liability insurance, and directors and officers insurance to offset certain potential liabilities under these indemnification provisions. To date, there have been no claims under these indemnification provisions.
