Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
 
Employment Agreement
 
On June 24, 2014, the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approved an employment agreement for its Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), which replaced the offer letter previously in effect between the Company and the CFO. The employment agreement continues to provide for an annual base salary of $225,000, subject to increase, as determined by the Company’s board of directors. The employment agreement further provides for payments to the CFO in the event of termination without cause or resignation by the CFO for good reason, as such terms are defined in the employment agreement. In the event that the CFO is terminated without cause or resigns for good reason, the CFO is entitled to: (i) a lump severance payment equal to 18 times the average monthly base salary paid to the CFO over the preceding 12 months; (ii) up to one year (the lesser of one year following the date of termination or until the CFO becomes eligible for medical insurance coverage provided by another employer) reimbursement for health care premiums under COBRA; and (iii) automatic vesting of all unvested options and other equity awards; provided that in the event the CFO resigns for good reason prior to a change of control, only the vesting of the restricted stock units granted by the Company on May 12, 2014 shall be accelerated.
 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had employment agreements in place with two of its key executives. The agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of eighteen to twenty-four months of severance compensation for terminations under certain circumstances. With respect to these agreements, at June 30, 2014, potential cash severance amounted to $1,144,000.
 
License and Supply Agreement
 
The Company entered into a license and supply agreement with Oculus which was effective upon the completion of the IPO, pursuant to which Oculus has agreed to exclusively license certain of its proprietary technology to the Company to enable the Company’s research, development and commercialization of newly discovered RUT58-60 and any improvements to it in the United States, Canada, the European Union and Japan in certain invasive uses in humans which do not include dermatologic uses or uses for ophthalmic, sinusitis or otic indications. Under the license and supply agreement, the Company will be required to make a total of up to $8 million of milestone payments to Oculus over the next several years payable upon the completion of specified performance conditions. The Company will accrue for the milestone payment liability if and when the Company determines that the achievement of such conditions is probable. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has not accrued for any portion of the milestone payments.
