RESEARCH COLLABORATION AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT | NOTE 9:- RESEARCH COLLABORATION AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT On May 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration Agreement (“Collaboration Agreement”) and an Exclusive License Agreement (“License Agreement”) with Harvard. The Research Collaboration Agreement was amended on May 1, 2017 and April 1, 2018 (as amended, the “Collaboration Agreement”), and the Exclusive License Agreement was amended on April 1, 2018 (as amended, the “License Agreement”), to extend the term of the Collaboration Agreement by one year to May 16, 2022 and reallocate the Company’s quarterly installment payments to Harvard through such date, and to make certain technical changes. On April 30, 2020, the Company and Harvard amended the Collaboration Agreement, which included certain adjustments to the quarterly installments and extended the term an additional three quarters until February 2023. Under the Collaboration Agreement, Harvard and the Company have agreed to collaborate on research regarding the development of lightweight “soft suit” exoskeleton system technologies for lower limb disabilities, which are intended to treat stroke, multiple sclerosis, mobility limitations for the elderly and other medical applications. The Company has committed to pay in quarterly installments for the funding of this research, subject to a minimum funding commitment under applicable circumstances. The Collaboration Agreement will expire on February 16, 2023. Under the License Agreement, Harvard has granted the Company an exclusive, worldwide royalty-bearing license under certain patents of Harvard relating to lightweight “soft suit” exoskeleton system technologies for lower limb disabilities, a royalty-free license under certain related know-how and the option to obtain a license under certain inventions conceived under the joint research collaboration. The License Agreement requires the Company to pay Harvard an upfront fee, reimbursements for expenses that Harvard incurred in connection with the licensed patents, royalties on net sales and several milestone payments contingent upon the achievement of certain product development and commercialization milestones. The Harvard License Agreement will continue in full force and effect until the expiration of the last-to-expire valid claim of the licensed patents. As of December 31,2020, the Company achieved three of the milestones which represent all development milestones under the License Agreement. The Company continues to evaluate the likelihood that the other milestones will be achieved on a quarterly basis. The Company’s total payment obligation under the Collaboration Agreement and the Harvard License Agreement is $7.2 million, some of which is subject to a minimum funding commitment under applicable circumstances as indicated above. The Company has recorded expenses in the amount of $0.8 million, $1.6 million, and $0.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, which are part of the total payment obligation indicated above, as research and development expenses related to the Harvard License Agreement and to the Collaboration Agreement. No withholding tax was deducted from the Company’s payments to Harvard in respect of the Collaboration Agreement and License Agreement since this is not taxable income in Israel in accordance with Section 170 of the Israel Income Tax Ordinance 1961-5721.
