On May 20, 2010, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “2010 P&G Agreement”), with Procter and Gamble Company (“P&G”), which replaced an existing license agreement between the Company and P&G (the “2006 P&G Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2010 P&G Agreement, the Company agreed to continue granting P&G an exclusive license to certain of the Company’s patents to enable P&G to develop products aimed at the consumer market and P&G agreed to pay royalties based on sales of products developed with such intellectual property. On June 28, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2010 P&G Agreement (the “2011 P&G Amendment”) which extended the effective period for the 2010 P&G Agreement from December 31, 2010 through June 30, 2011, and resulted in the Company recognizing the previously deferred $375,000 of revenue as royalty revenue during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

The 2011 P&G Amendment also provided that effective January 1, 2011, P&G’s exclusive license to the Company’s patents converted to a non-exclusive license unless P&G paid the Company a license payment in the amount of $187,500 by the end of the third quarter of 2011, and at the end of each quarter thereafter, throughout the term of the 2010 P&G Agreement. As a result of P&G not making any payments to the Company in the third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2011, their license converted to a non-exclusive license. The Company is currently engaged in an active collaboration with P&G to commercialize a consumer product utilizing its patents.
