Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 16, 2015, Cryoport, Inc.’s wholly owned operating subsidiary, Cryoport Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase and Sale Agreement”), by and between KLATU Networks, LLC (“KLATU”) and the Company. Pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Company purchased from KLATU certain intellectual property and intellectual property rights related to the Company’s CryoportalTM logistics management platform (the “Developed Technology”), which KLATU previously developed for and licensed to the Company pursuant to the Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement, by and between KLATU and the Company, dated October 9, 2007 (as amended, the “Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement”). As full compensation for the sale and assignment of the Developed Technology from KLATU to the Company, the Company will pay KLATU an aggregate amount of $400,000 in two equal installments.

 

Concurrently with entering into the Purchase and Sale Agreement, on September 16, 2015, the Company and KLATU entered into the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement”) to amend and restate the Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement. The Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement provides a framework for KLATU to perform certain consulting, software and hardware engineering development services as mutually agreed upon and further set forth in one or more Statements of Work (as defined in the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement). As between the Company and KLATU, the Company will own the intellectual property developed pursuant to such agreement. In addition, KLATU agreed to grant the Company a license to use certain of KLATU’s intellectual property used in connection with the Developed Technology. The Company agreed to grant KLATU a license to use certain portions of the Developed Technology in connection with KLATU’s cloud based monitoring solution (“TRAXX”). To ensure the availability of KLATU personnel to perform services pursuant to the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement, the Company agreed to pay KLATU a minimum of $25,000 per month for services fees, which may be carried forward as advance payment for future services under certain conditions. The initial term of the agreement is until December 31, 2017 and will thereafter automatically renew for subsequent one year terms, unless notice of termination is given. The Company or KLATU may terminate the agreement upon written notice to the other party, and such termination will be effective six months after the date such notice is received by the non-terminating party. After termination, KLATU will continue to provide maintenance services at its normal hourly rates for a period of two years as measured from the date of the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Agreement and agrees to use its good faith efforts to provide such services on a timely basis.

 

The foregoing summary of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Amended and Restated Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of each of the aforementioned documents, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto.
