CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report, including statements regarding our anticipated future clinical and regulatory events, future financial position, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements are generally written in the future tense and/or are preceded by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “could,” “expect,” “suggest,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” or similar words, or the negatives of such terms or other variations on such terms or comparable terminology. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation: the planned expanded commercialization of our products and the potential future commercialization of our product candidates, our anticipated future cash position; our plan to acquire additional assets; our anticipated future growth rates; anticipated sales increases; anticipated net revenue increases; amounts of certain future expenses and costs of goods sold; anticipated increases to operating expenses, research and development expenses, and selling, general, and administrative expenses; and future events under our current and potential future collaborations. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including without limitation the risks described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in the reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These risks are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. We can provide no assurance that the events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur and actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements, except as may be required under applicable law.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes trademarks, such as Aytu, Natesto, Tuzistra, ZolpiMist, MiOXSYS, and RedoxSYS, which are protected under applicable intellectual property laws and we own or have the rights to. Solely for convenience, our trademarks and trade names referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may appear without the ® or TM symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate in any way that we will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, our rights to these trademarks and trade names.

AYTU BIOSCIENCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
 
Note 1 – Business, Basis of Presentation, License and Supply Agreements
 
Business
 
Aytu BioScience, Inc. (“Aytu”, the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated as Rosewind Corporation on August 9, 2002 in the State of Colorado. Aytu was re-incorporated in the state of Delaware on June 8, 2015. Aytu is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on global commercialization of novel products addressing significant medical needs such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), cough and upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia, and male infertility and plans to expand opportunistically into other therapeutic areas.
  
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements contained in this report represent the financial statements of Aytu and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Aytu Women’s Health, LLC. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Aytu’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, which included all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, these unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Aytu and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of expected operating results for the full year. The information presented throughout this report, as of and for the periods ended March 31, 2019, and 2018, is unaudited.
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. On August 10, 2018, Aytu effected a reverse stock split in which each common stockholder received one share of common stock for every 20 shares held (herein referred to collectively as the “Reverse Stock Split”). All share and per share amounts in this report have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
    
License and Supply Agreement—Natesto
  
In April 2016, Aytu entered into a license and supply agreement to acquire the exclusive U.S. rights to commercialize Natesto® (testosterone) nasal gel from Acerus Pharmaceuticals Corporation, or Acerus. We acquired the rights effective upon the expiration of the former licensee’s rights, which occurred on June 30, 2016. The term of the license runs for the greater of eight years or until the expiry of the latest to expire patent, including claims covering Natesto or until the entry on the market of at least one AB-rated generic product.
 
In addition to the previously disclosed upfront payments made to Acerus, we agreed to make one-time, non-refundable milestone payments to Acerus within 45 days of the occurrence of certain agreed upon milestones. The maximum aggregate amount payable under such milestone payments is $37.5 million.
 
The fair value of the net identifiable Natesto asset acquired was determined to be $10.5 million, which is being amortized over eight years. The aggregate amortization expense for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $330,000. The aggregate amortization expense for each of the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $989,000.
 
The contingent consideration was initially valued at $3.2 million using a Monte Carlo simulation, as of June 30, 2016. As of June 30, 2018, the contingent consideration was revalued at $1.8 million using the same Monte Carlo simulation methodology, and based on current interest rates, expected sales potential, and Aytu stock trading variables. The contingent consideration accretion expense for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $17,000, and $178,000, respectively. The contingent consideration accretion expense for each of the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $48,000, and $508,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2019, no milestone payments have been made.

License Agreement—ZolpiMist
 
In June 2018, Aytu signed an exclusive license agreement for ZolpiMist™ (zolpidem tartrate oral spray) from Magna Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (“Magna”). This agreement allows for Aytu’s exclusive commercialization of ZolpiMist in the U.S. and Canada.
 
Aytu made an upfront payment of $400,000 to Magna upon execution of the agreement. In July 2018, we paid an additional $300,000, of which, $297,000 was included in current contingent consideration at June 30, 2018.
 
The ZolpiMist license agreement was valued at $3.2 million and will be amortized over the life of the license agreement up to seven years. The amortization expense for each of the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $116,000 and $0, respectively. The amortization expense for each of the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $348,000 and $0, respectively.
 
We also agreed to make certain royalty payments to Magna which will be calculated as a percentage of ZolpiMist net sales and are payable within 45 days of the end of the quarter during which the applicable net sales occur. 
 
The contingent consideration related to these royalty payments was valued at $2.6 million using a Monte Carlo simulation, as of June 11, 2018. The contingent consideration accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $64,000, and $0, respectively. The contingent consideration accretion expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $184,000, and $0, respectively.
 
License, Development, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement—Tuzistra XR
 
On November 2, 2018, the Company entered into a License, Development, Manufacturing and Supply Agreement (the “Tris License Agreement”) with TRIS Pharma, Inc. (“TRIS”). Pursuant to the Tris License Agreement, TRIS granted the Company an exclusive license in the United States to commercialize Tuzistra XR. In addition, TRIS granted the Company an exclusive license in the United States to commercialize a complementary antitussive referred to as “CCP-08” (together with Tuzistra XR, the “Products”) for which marketing approval has been sought by TRIS under a New Drug Application filed with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). As consideration for the Products license, the Company: (i) made an upfront cash payment to TRIS; (ii) issued shares of Series D Convertible preferred stock to TRIS; and (iii) will pay certain royalties to TRIS throughout the license term in accordance with the Tris License Agreement.
 
The Tris License Agreement was valued at $9.9 million and will be amortized over the life of the Tris License Agreement up to twenty years. The amortization expense for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $123,000 and $0, respectively. The amortization expense for each of the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $205,000 and $0, respectively.
 
We also agreed to make certain quarterly royalty payments to TRIS which will be calculated as a percentage of our Tuzistra XR net sales, payable within 45 days of the end of the applicable quarter.
 
As of November 2, 2018, the contingent consideration, related to this asset, was valued at $8.8 million using a Monte Carlo simulation. The contingent consideration accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $73,000, and $0, respectively. The contingent consideration accretion expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $119,000, and $0, respectively.
   
Liquidity Assessment
 
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, requires management to evaluate the company’s ability to continue as a going concern one year beyond the filing date of the financial statements contained herein. This evaluation requires management to perform two steps. First, management must evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Second, if management concludes that substantial doubt is raised, management is required to consider whether it has plans in place to alleviate that doubt. Disclosures in the notes to the financial statements are required if management concludes that substantial doubt exists or that its plans alleviate the substantial doubt that was raised.
 
Prior to the date of this Report, we have financed operations through a combination of private and public debt and equity financings, receipts from the sale of our products, and occasionally through divestures of non-strategic assets. Our financing transactions have included private placements of stock and convertible notes, and public offerings of the Company’s equity securities. Since the formation of Aytu in June 2015, the Company has raised approximately $70.3 million, inclusive of the $15.2 million we raised in October 2018, from the sale of securities to investors, the exercise of warrants by investors and the $5.0 million of debt issued in November 2018. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, as of the date of this Report, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements for the next 12 months.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU provide a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes prior revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the new ASU is that revenue should be recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. Disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required. ASC 606 and ASC 340-40 also require the deferral of incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers and subsequent amortization of those costs of the period of anticipated benefit. Collectively, we refer to this guidance as “ASC 606.”
   
Effective July 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Adoption of this ASU was done through the modified retrospective method and did not result in a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings or accumulated deficit as of the adoption date. This is due to the fact that the impact of adopting the new standard is not significant as it relates to historical revenues, future revenues, or accounting for incremental costs of obtaining contracts with our customers.
   
We adopted the new standard through applying the following conclusions (resulting from a thorough analysis of all contract types): (1) The new guidance did not materially change our existing policy and practice for identifying contracts with customers, nor did it give rise to changes to our existing policy and practice or create new concern surrounding the collectability of our receivables from customers, (2) none of our contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations that are not fulfilled at the same time, (3) the new guidance did not change our existing policy and practice regarding the recording of variable consideration, and (4) we did not identify any customer acquisition costs that are incremental and that are expected to be recovered at a future time.
 
As mentioned above, the modified retrospective method of transition did not result in a cumulative adjustment as of July 1, 2018. Additionally, no other line items in the statement of operations or the balance sheet reflect any changes due to the adoption of the new standard. Adoption of the standards related to revenue recognition had no impact to cash from or used in operating, financing, or investing on our consolidated cash flows statement.
   
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, Not Adopted as of March 31, 2019
  
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The amendments in the standard apply to all entities that are required, under existing GAAP, to make disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The standard is effective for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.
 
The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of ASU 2018-13. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU 2018-13 and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2018-13 will have on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” to require the measurement of expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements but does not anticipate there to be a material impact.
 
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. Lessees are required to use a modified retrospective transition approach for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard. In July 2018, the FASB also issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” to give reporting entities another option for transition. The additional option for transition allows an entity to apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements,” which clarified that reporting entities are exempt from the interim period transition disclosure requirements in paragraph 250-10-50-3 of the guidance when adopting ASC 842.The new standards are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of this standard on its financial statements. As of March 31, 2019, the Company has future operating lease payments of approximately $166,000 that are being evaluated. The Company is gathering and evaluating all key lease data elements to meet the requirements of the new guidance. 
 
Note 2 – Revenue Recognition
 
We generate revenues from the sale of products. Revenue is recognized when control of products is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those products.
 
The Company determines revenue recognition through the following five-step model:
 
(i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract;
 
(ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract;
 
(iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration;
 
(iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and
 
(v) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
  
Product Revenues, Net
 
The Company sells its products principally to a limited number of wholesale distributors and pharmacies in the United States, which account for the largest portion of our total revenue. International sales are made primarily to specialty distributors, as well as hospitals, laboratories, and clinics, some of which are government owned or supported (collectively, its “Customers”). The Company’s Customers in the United States subsequently resell the products to patients and pharmacies. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes net revenues from product sales when the Customer obtains control of the Company’s product, which typically occurs upon delivery to the Customer. The Company’s payment terms are between 30 to 60 days in the United States and consistent with prevailing practice in international markets.
 
Revenue from product sales is recorded at the net sales price, or “transaction price,” which includes estimates of variable consideration that result from coupons, discounts, chargebacks and distributor fees, processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. Provisions are established for the estimates of variable consideration based on the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sale. Provision balances related to estimated amounts payable to direct customers are netted against accounts receivable from such customers. Balances related to indirect customers are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Where appropriate, the Company utilizes the expected value method to determine the appropriate amount for estimates of variable consideration based on factors such as the Company’s historical experience and specific known market events and trends. We constrain our estimates by giving consideration to factors that could otherwise lead to a probable reversal of revenue.

The license revenue of $6,000 and $0 recognized in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, represent the payment received from the Company’s ZolpiMist sublicensing agreement with SUDA Pharmaceuticals. In connection with the ZolpiMist License Agreement, Aytu assumed the SUDA Pharmaceuticals sublicensing agreement for ZolpiMist outside of the United States and Canada. This licensing agreement calls for SUDA to lead commercial development and sublicensing efforts for ZolpiMist in major territories outside the United States and Canada, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America. SUDA has already entered into sublicensing agreements in key markets with large, multi-national pharmaceutical companies and has agreements in place in China, Chile, Brazil, and throughout Southeast Asia.
   
Note 3 - Inventories
 
Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Aytu periodically reviews the composition of its inventories to identify obsolete, slow-moving or otherwise unsaleable items. If unsaleable items are observed and there are no alternate uses for the inventory, Aytu will record a write-down to net realizable value in the period that the impairment is first recognized. We currently have a reserve of $10,000 for slow moving inventory as of March 31, 2019 and $0 at June 30, 2018.

Note 6 – Fair Value Considerations
 
Aytu’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, debt, warrant derivative liability, and contingent consideration. The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amount of debt approximates its fair value. The fair value of the warrant derivative liability was valued using the lattice valuation methodology. The fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration is based on a Monte Carlo methodology using estimated discounted future cash flows and periodic assessments of the probability of occurrence of potential future events. The valuation policies are determined by the Chief Financial Officer, and the Company’s Board of Directors is informed of any policy change.
 
Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of Aytu. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect Aytu’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:
 Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible to Aytu for identical assets or liabilities;
 
 
Level 2:
 Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active or inactive markets or that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly; and
 
 
Level 3:
 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.
 
Aytu’s assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Aytu’s policy is to recognize transfers in and/or out of fair value hierarchy as of the date in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer. Aytu has consistently applied the valuation techniques discussed below in all periods presented.
  
The following table presents Aytu’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, by level within the fair value hierarchy.

The warrant derivative liability was valued using the lattice valuation methodology because that model embodies the relevant assumptions that address the features underlying these instruments. The warrants related to the warrant derivative liability are not actively traded and are, therefore, classified as Level 3 liabilities. Significant assumptions in valuing the warrant derivative liability, based on estimates of the value of Aytu common stock and various factors regarding the warrants, were as follows as of issuance and as of March 31, 2019:

We classify our contingent consideration liability in connection with the acquisition and licensing of Natesto, ZolpiMist and Tuzistra XR within Level 3 as factors used to develop the estimated fair value are unobservable inputs that are not supported by market activity. We estimate the fair value of our contingent consideration liability based on projected payment dates, discount rates, probabilities of payment, and projected revenue. Projected contingent payment amounts are discounted back to the current period using a discounted cash flow methodology.

Prescription Database
 
In May 2016, Aytu entered into an agreement with a vendor that will provide Aytu with prescription information. Aytu agreed to pay approximately $1.9 million over three years for access to the database of prescriptions written for Natesto. Aggregate payments have been broken down into quarterly payments. In December 2018, Aytu executed an amendment to the contract that added Tuzistra XR and extended the contract through May of 2022. The amendment added $1.7 million to the contract value and as of March 31, 2019, Aytu has $2.0 million of payments remaining.
 
Milestone Payments
 
In connection with our intangible assets, Aytu has certain milestone payments, totaling $5.5 million, that will be payable in the future based on sales performance.

Office Lease
 
In June 2018, the Company entered into a 12-month operating lease, beginning on August 1, 2018, for office space in Raleigh, North Carolina. This lease has base rent of $1,100 a month, with total rent over the term of the lease of approximately $13,200. In September 2015, the Company entered into a 37-month operating lease in Englewood, Colorado. This lease had an initial base rent of $9,000 a month with a total base rent over the term of the lease of approximately $318,000. In October 2017, the Company signed an amendment to the 37-month operating lease in Englewood, Colorado, extending the lease for an additional 24 months beginning October 1, 2018. The base rent remained $9,000 per month. In April 2019, the Company extended the lease for an additional 36 months beginning October1, 2020 (see Note 12).

Note 8 – Debt–Related Party
 
On November 29, 2018, Aytu issued a $5.0 million promissory note (the “Note”) to Armistice Capital Master Fund Ltd. (“Armistice”). The Note was collateralized by the future revenue stream from the products licensed to the Company under the Tris License Agreement between the Company and TRIS. The Note carried an annual interest rate of 8% and had a three-year term with principal and interest payable at maturity. The Company had the right, in its sole discretion, to repay the Note without penalty at any time after December 29, 2018. For the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company did not exercised the early repayment option. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, the Company exchanged the Note for a combination of common stock, preferred stock and warrants (see Note 12).
 
Interest expense for the Note for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $99,000 and $0, respectively. Interest expense for the Note for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $135,000 and $0, respectively.
 
Note 9 – Common stock
  
At March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2018, Aytu had 12,848,499 and 1,794,762 shares of common stock outstanding, respectively, and 2,335,665 and 0 shares of preferred stock outstanding, respectively. The Company has 100 million shares of common stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 50 million shares of preferred stock authorized with a par value of $0.0001 per share, of which 500 are designated Series A Convertible preferred stock, 161 are designated as Series B Convertible preferred stock, 8,342,993 are designated as Series C Convertible preferred stock, and 400,000 are designated as Series D Convertible preferred stock. Included in the common stock outstanding are 2,719,312 shares of restricted stock issued to executives, directors, employees and consultants.
 
On October 9, 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering for, total gross proceeds of $15.2 million which includes the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares and warrants, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
 
The securities offered by the Company consisted of: (i) an aggregate of 457,007 shares of its common stock; (ii) an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share; and (iii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The securities were issued at a public offering purchase price of $1.50 per fixed unit consisting of: (a) one share of common stock and one warrant; or (b) one share of Series C preferred stock and one warrant. The common stock issued had a relative fair value of $533,000 in the aggregate and a fair value of $594,000 in the aggregate. The Series C preferred stock issued had a relative fair value of $9.7 million in the aggregate and a fair value of $10.8 million in the aggregate. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The warrants have a relative fair value of $1.6 million in the aggregate, a fair value of $1.8 million in the aggregate, and generated gross proceeds of $88,000. The conversion price of the Series C preferred stock in the offering as well as the exercise price of the warrants are fixed and do not contain any variable pricing features, or any price based anti-dilution features.
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full, purchasing an additional 1,320,000 shares of common stock and 1,320,000 warrants. The common stock issued had a relative fair value of $1.5 million and a fair value of $1.7 million. The warrants have the same terms as the Warrants sold in the registered offering. These warrants have a relative fair value of $238,000, a fair value of $265,000, and gross proceeds of $13,000, which was the purchase price per the underwriting agreement.
 
In October 2018, Aytu issued 9,000 shares of common stock to a former employee.
 
On November 2, 2018, the Company issued 400,000 shares of Series D Convertible preferred stock as consideration for a purchased asset.
 
In March 2019, warrants issued from the October registered offering to purchase an aggregate of 172,231 shares of common stock were exercised for aggregate gross proceeds to our Company of approximately $259,000.
 
As of March 31, 2019, investors holding shares of Series C preferred stock exercised their right to convert 6,407,328 shares of Series C preferred stock into 6,407,328 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2019, Aytu has 1,935,665 shares of Series C preferred stock outstanding.

Note 10 – Equity Instruments
 
Share-based Compensation Plans
  
On June 1, 2015, Aytu’s stockholders approved the Aytu BioScience 2015 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which, as amended in July 2017, provides for the award of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and other equity awards for up to an aggregate of 3.0 million shares of common stock. The shares of common stock underlying any awards that are forfeited, canceled, reacquired by Aytu prior to vesting, satisfied without any issuance of stock, expire or are otherwise terminated (other than by exercise) under the 2015 Plan will be added back to the shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2015 Plan. As of March 31, 2019, we have 205,562 shares available for grant under the 2015 Plan. 
 
Pursuant to the 2015 Plan, 3.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock, are reserved for issuance. The fair value of options granted has been calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding components of the model, including the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock, the risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to valuation. Aytu estimates the expected term of granted options based on the average of the vesting term and the contractual term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant for treasury securities of similar maturity. There were no issuances during the three months ended March 31, 2019, therefore, no assumptions are used for this quarter.

As of March 31, 2019, there was $28,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested stock options. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a weighted-average period of 0.43 years.
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2018, Aytu issued 75,000 performance-based stock options out of the 2015 Plan to a consultant. These options vest based on meeting certain market criteria with an exercise price of $1.00. Market options that require specific events before they begin to vest are valued at grant date. The fair value of the options granted has been calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation. Significant assumptions at issuance in valuing the options were as follows:

Under the 2015 Plan, there was $4,288,000 of total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to the non-vested restricted stock as of March 31, 2019. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a weighted-average period of 9.32 years. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the expense related to these awards was $313,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the expense related to these awards was $452,000.
 
Aytu previously issued 1,540 shares of restricted stock outside the Aytu 2015 Plan, which vest in July 2026. The unrecognized expense related to these shares was $1,447,000 as of March 31, 2019 and will be recognized over the 10-year vesting period, of which 7.28 years remain. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the expense related to these awards was $49,000. During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, the expense related to these awards was $149,000.

Note 11 – Related Party Transactions  
 
Armistice
 
In February 2019, the Company waived its right to disallow Armistice from holding more than 4.99% of Aytu common stock and agreed to allow Armistice to hold up to 40% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Also, in February 2019, Armistice converted 1.9 million shares of Series C preferred stock into Aytu common stock, resulting in Armistice holding more than 10% of the Company’s common stock. The Company also had a promissory note to Armistice with a face value of $5.0 million (see Note 8), which was subsequently exchanged for a combination of common stock, preferred stock and warrants (see Note 12). Therefore, Armistice is now considered an affiliate of the Company.
 
Co-Pay Support
 
In June 2018, the Company entered into a master services agreement with TrialCard Incorporated (“TCI”), a vendor selected to support the Company sponsored co-pay program. In supporting the program, Aytu will prefund certain amounts from which TCI will make disbursements to qualified patients presenting valid prescriptions for Natesto, Tuzistra XR and ZolpiMist on behalf of Aytu. Disbursements will be based upon business rules determined by Aytu. The Company agreed to pay fees monthly to TCI for account management, data analytics, implementation, and technology and to reimburse TCI for certain direct costs incurred by TCI to support the Company’s program. One of the Aytu directors, Mr. Donofrio, was an executive officer of TCI but has no direct interest in the arrangement. As of February 2019, Mr. Donofrio is no longer employed by TCI.
 
Note 12 – Subsequent Events
 
 
During April 2019, 691,832 of Aytu Series C Preferred shares outstanding converted into 691,832 shares of our common stock.
 
On April 4, 2019, Aytu entered into a 36-month extension of our operating lease for the Englewood, Colorado office space. The base rent will be at $10,000 per month.
 
On April 18, 2019, pursuant to the exchange agreement between Aytu and Armistice, which was approved by the stockholders of the Company on April 12, 2019, Aytu exchanged the Armistice Note into: (1) 3,120,064 shares of common stock of the Company, (2) 2,751,148 shares of Series E Convertible preferred stock of the Company, and (3) a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 4,403,409 shares of common stock of the Company.
 
On May 1, 2019, Aytu entered into an Independent Contractor Services Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Averaden, LLC (the “Contractor”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Contractor agreed to perform certain consulting services with respect to corporate business development activities for the Company. In return, the Company has agreed to pay the Contractor $8,400 per month, which amount shall not exceed $110,000 in aggregate. The Agreement will terminate on May 15, 2020. Gary Cantrell, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a Principal of the Contractor.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This discussion should be read in conjunction with Aytu BioScience, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018, filed on September 6, 2018. The following discussion and analysis contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. For additional information regarding these risks and uncertainties, please see the risk factors included in Aytu’s Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 6, 2018.
 
Overview, Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Aytu is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing novel products that address significant patient needs such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), cough and upper respiratory symptoms, insomnia, and male infertility and plans to expand opportunistically into other therapeutic areas as the Company continues to execute on its growth plans.
 
On October 9, 2018, we completed an underwritten public offering, with total gross proceeds of $15.2 million which includes the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option to purchase additional shares and warrants, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses payable by the Company.
 
The securities offered by the Company consisted of (i) an aggregate of 457,007 shares of its common stock, (ii) an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of its Series C Convertible preferred stock convertible into an aggregate of 8,342,993 shares of common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share, and (iii) Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,800,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The securities were issued at a public offering purchase price of $1.50 per fixed unit of (a) one share of common stock and one warrant or (b) one share of Series C preferred stock and one warrant. The warrants are exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The conversion price of the Series C preferred stock in the offering as well as the exercise price of the warrants are fixed and do not contain any variable pricing features, or any price based anti-dilution features.
 
In connection with this offering, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option in full and purchased an additional 1,320,000 shares of common stock and 1,320,000 Warrants.
 
During fiscal 2019, the Board of Directors of Aytu expanded the size of the Board of Directors by two seats. On November 30, 2018, the Board of Directors elected Ketan B. Mehta as a director and elected Steven J. Boyd as a director on April 15, 2019.
 
Prior to the date of this quarterly report, we have financed operations through a combination of private and public debt and equity financings, funds from the sale of our products, and occasionally through divestures of non-strategic assets. Our financing transactions have included private placements of stock and convertible notes, and public offerings of the Company’s equity securities. Since the formation of Aytu in June 2015, we have raised approximately $70.3 million from the sale of its securities to investors and the exercise of warrants by investors. Although it is difficult to predict our liquidity requirements, based upon our current operating plan, as of the date of this quarterly report, we believe we will have sufficient cash to meet our projected operating requirements for fiscal 2019 and through May 2020.
 
We have incurred accumulated net losses since inception, and at March 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $91.9 million. Our net loss was $12.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and we used $10.4 million in cash from operating activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling $14.7 million and other current assets with an aggregate balance of $3.7 million available to fund our operations, offset by an aggregate of $2.9 million in accounts payable and others and accrued liabilities. In October 2018, we raised gross proceeds of $15.2 million in a public offering, and in November 2018, we raised $5.0 million of debt which required no cash payment until maturity in November 2022. On April 18, 2019, the $5.0 million of debt was subsequently converted to equity without any cash payment (see Note 12).
 
We are a relatively young company with substantial revenue growth expectations as demonstrated by the nearly 33% quarter-over-quarter net revenue growth for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 105% growth in net revenue for the nine months of fiscal 2019 over nine months period ended March 31, 2018. Our primary activities are focused on commercializing our approved product portfolio, including Natesto, Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and MiOXSYS, building our commercial infrastructure, improving patient access, and improving the effectiveness and reach of our sales force. 
 
Based on our recent trend of increasing revenue, and management’s operating strategy and plans for accelerating revenue growth, we believe that our sales will continue to grow. We also believe that our efforts and programs designed to reduce discounting of Natesto while growing sales will continue to increase net revenue and therefore reduce the rate of cash use. Our operating expenses increased slightly as we expected to have several start-up costs related to the launch of Tuzistra XR as well as the expected cost of expanding our sales team in the quarter ended March 31, 2019. With these assumptions and the additional capital we raised in October and November, we believe that we have sufficient cash resources to fund operations through May 2020, after which time we could require additional new capital if our revenue does not continue to grow as we have projected. If, in the judgment of management, capital becomes available on terms that we consider to be in the best interest of the Company, we may seek to raise additional capital even if the need for additional capital is not imminent. However, we can provide no assurance that our revenues will increase as anticipated or that additional funding will be available to us on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we cannot raise adequate additional capital in the future, if and when we require it, we could be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more of our commercialization efforts, or our development program. We may also be required to relinquish some or all rights to product candidates at less favorable terms than we would otherwise choose. This may lead to impairment or other charges, which could materially affect our balance sheet and operating results.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock compensation, valuation of derivative instruments, allowances, contingencies and going concern. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The methods, estimates, and judgments used by us in applying these critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. Our significant accounting policies and estimates are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on September 6, 2018.
  
Information regarding our accounting policies and estimates can be found in the Notes to the consolidated Financial Statements. 
 
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
Information regarding the recently issued accounting standards (adopted and pending adoption as of March 31, 2019) is combined in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations – Three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to March 31, 2018
 
Results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 reflected losses of approximately $4.5 million and $2.8 million, respectively. These losses include, in part, non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and accretion, issuance of restricted stock, and derivative income in the amount of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The non-cash charges decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to a decrease in depreciation, amortization and accretion, and the issuance of restricted stock.
 
Results of operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and the nine months ended March 31, 2018 reflected losses of approximately $12.6 million and $10.7 million, respectively. These losses include, in part, non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation, depreciation, amortization and accretion, issuance of restricted stock, and derivative income in the amount of $2.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. The non-cash charges increased in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to the reduction in warrant derivative income.

Revenue
 
Product revenue
 
We recognized net revenue from product sales of $2.4 million and $607,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We recognized net revenue from product sales of $5.6 million and $2.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Our product portfolio includes Natesto, Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and the MiOXSYS and RedoxSYS Systems, with the majority of our revenue due to the sales of Natesto.
  
As is customary in the pharmaceutical industry, our gross product sales are subject to a variety of deductions in arriving at reported net product sales. Over the past four quarters, we have taken steps to improve our net revenue, which have resulted in substantial increases in net revenue as indicated in the table below. Provisions for deductions from gross revenue are recorded concurrently with the recognition of gross product revenue and include coupons, discounts, chargebacks, distributor fees, processing fees, as well as allowances for returns and government rebates. Provision deductions relating to estimated amounts payable to direct customers are netted against accounts receivable and balances relating to indirect customers are included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The provisions recorded to reduce gross product sales to net product sales are as follows:

 License revenue
 
We recognized net license revenue of $6,000 and $0 for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 respectively. This revenue represents the payment received from the Company’s ZolpiMist sublicensing agreement with SUDA Pharmaceuticals. Aytu assumed the SUDA Pharmaceuticals sublicensing agreement for ZolpiMist outside of the United States and Canada. This licensing agreement calls for SUDA to lead commercial development and sublicensing efforts for ZolpiMist in major territories outside the United States and Canada, including Europe, Asia, and Latin America. SUDA has already signed sublicensing agreements in key markets with large, multi-national pharmaceutical companies and has agreements in place in China, Chile, Brazil, and throughout Southeast Asia.
  
Expenses
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales was $617,000 and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.8 million was recognized for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The current cost of sales is related to Natesto, Tuzistra XR, ZolpiMist, and the MiOXSYS and RedoxSYS Systems. The decrease in cost of sales for the three months ending March 31, 2019 was due to the impairment of inventory related to a discontinued product in March 2018. We expect cost of sales to increase in the future due to and in line with growth in revenue from product sales.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development costs consist of clinical trials and sponsored research which includes manufacturing development, and consultants and other. These costs relate solely to research and development without an allocation of general and administrative expenses and are summarized as follows:
 
 
 
Three Months Ended March 31,

 $414,000 
 $(22,000)
   
Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
 
Research and development expenses decreased $5,000, or 4.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Research and development expenses increased $436,000, or 1,981.8%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due primarily to the absence of a reversal of a previously accrued liability, which was present in December of 2017. We anticipate research and development expense to increase in fiscal 2019 as we anticipate funding a study to further support the clinical application of our MiOXSYS System, and to fund further clinical studies for Natesto to potentially support new claims and/or to comply with FDA post-marketing study requirements.

 Selling, General and Administrative
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist of labor costs, including personnel costs for employees in executive, commercial operations, and administrative functions; stock-based compensation; patents and intellectual property; professional fees including legal, auditing, accounting, investor relations, shareholder expense and printing and filing of SEC reports; occupancy, travel and other expenses including rent, governmental and regulatory compliance, insurance, and professional subscriptions; directors fees; impairment expenses; and sales & marketing – related party, which includes payments to TCI for the Company sponsored co-pay program.

Comparison of Three and Nine Months Ended March 31, 2019 and 2018
 
Selling, general and administrative costs increased $738,000, or 15.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Selling, general and administrative costs increased $534,000, or 3.9%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The primary increase was due to labor and occupancy, travel and other costs related to expanding our commercial team, launching Tuzistra XR, and stock-based on compensation. We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase slightly in the remainder of fiscal 2019 due to expanding our sales team and launching Tuzistra XR. The impairment expense of $1,856,000 recognized in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, represent the impairment of the Aytu Women’s Health assets in fiscal 2018 based upon sales performance and the manufacturer no longer supporting the product.
 
Amortization of Intangible Assets
 
Amortization of intangible assets was $575,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and $388,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2018. Amortization of intangible assets was $1.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2019, and $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. This expense increased due to amortization of the related finite-lived intangible assets. We expect this expense to remain flat for the remainder of 2019.
 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
 
During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, our operating activities used $10.4 million in cash, which was less than the reported net loss of $12.6 million. Our cash use was lower than our reported net loss due to an increase in accrued liabilities, accrued compensation expense and interest payable, along with the recognition of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, stock-based compensation, and restricted stock. These were offset by derivative income, an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other. 
 
During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, our operating activities used $11.4 million in cash. Our cash use was a result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued compensation expense, with the recognition of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, and the expense related to the impairment of intangible assets. These were offset by derivative income, other gain, an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses, and a decrease in accrued liabilities. 
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
During the nine months ended March 31, 2019, we used $860,000 of cash for investing activities to purchase fixed and operating assets, paid $109,000 in contingent consideration, and received a $3,000 refund of our deposit for office space.
 
During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, we used $75,000 in investing activities to purchase fixed assets and we made our first revenue share payment to a discontinued product during the March 31,2018 quarter which was approximately $7,400.
 
 
20
 
 
Net Cash from Financing Activities
 
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2019 was $19.0 million. This was primarily related to the October 2018 public offering of $15.2 million, offset by the offering cost of $1.5 million which was paid in cash. In addition, we received proceeds of $5 million from the Note. We also received proceeds of $259,000 from warrant exercises.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2018 of $22.7 million was primarily related to the August 2017 Offering of $11.8 million, offset by the cash offering cost of $1.4 million (which was paid in cash), the March 2018 Offering of $12.9 million, offset by the cash offering cost of $1.3 million (which was paid in cash) and the aggregate proceeds of $0.7 million from warrants exercises.
 
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “variable interest entities.”
 
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
 
Information regarding our Contractual Obligations and Commitments is contained in Note 7 to the Financial Statements.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
We are not currently exposed to material market risk arising from financial instruments, changes in interest rates or commodity prices, or fluctuations in foreign currencies. We have not identified a need to hedge against any of the foregoing risks and therefore currently engages in no hedging activities.
 
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
 
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and are operating in an effective manner.

The Employee shall be eligible for an annual discretionary bonus (hereinafter referred to as the “Bonus”) with a target amount of one hundred and twenty five percent (125%) of the Base Salary, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, based on the Compensation Committee’s determination, in good faith, and based upon the Employee’s individual achievement and company performance objectives as set by the Board or the Compensation Committee, of whether the Employee has met such performance milestones as are established for the Employee by the Board or the Compensation Committee, in good faith, in consultation with the Employee (hereinafter referred to as the “Performance Milestones”). The Performance Milestones will be based on certain factors including, but not limited to, the Employee’s performance and the Company’s financial and operational performance. The Employee’s Bonus target will be reviewed annually and may be adjusted by the Board or the Compensation Committee in its discretion, provided however, that the Bonus target may only be reduced upon Employee’s written consent. The Employee must be employed on the date the Bonus is awarded to be eligible for the Bonus, subject to the termination provisions hereof. Bonuses shall be paid during the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter for which such Bonus was earned when Performance Milestones are met during a calendar quarter. Fourth quarter Bonuses and Bonuses calculated on the basis of partial Performance Milestone satisfaction shall be paid within 75 days of fiscal year-end.

"Disability" shall mean (i) Employee's incapacity due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable accommodation, that results in Employee being substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for six consecutive months (or for six months out of any nine month period) or (ii) a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee determines that Employee is incapacitated due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable accommodation so as to be unable to regularly perform the duties of his position and such condition is expected to be of a permanent or near-permanent duration. Until such time as Employee is terminated for Disability under this paragraph (b), Employee shall continue to receive his Base Salary hereunder, provided that if the Company provides Employee with disability insurance coverage, payments of Employee's Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of any disability insurance payments received by Employee due to such coverage. The Company shall give Employee written notice of termination due to Disability which shall take effect sixty (60) days after the date it is sent to Employee unless Employee shall have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder during such sixty (60) day period (whereupon such notice shall become void).

No event shall be deemed to be “Good Reason” if the Company has cured the event (if susceptible to cure) within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Employee specifying the event or events which, absent cure, would constitute “Good Cause.”

Accrued Compensation shall mean an amount which shall include all amounts earned or accrued by Employee through the date of termination of this Agreement but not paid as of such date, including (i) Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for business expenses incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy in effect at such time, (iii) any expense allowance pursuant to Company policy, (iv) accrued but unused vacation pay per Company policy, and (v) bonuses and incentive compensation earned and awarded prior to the date of termination.

If the Company ends the Term for Cause, if Employee resigns as an employee of the Company for reasons other than an event of Good Reason, the Employee dies or Disability occurs , then the Company shall pay to Employee the Accrued Compensation but shall have no obligation to pay Employee any amount, whether for salary, benefits, bonuses, or other compensation or expense reimbursements of any kind, accruing after the end of the Term, and such rights shall, except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to the applicable award agreement or plan, be forfeited immediately upon the end of the Term. For the sake of clarity, any stock options, restricted stock or other equity compensation shall, to the extent vested on the date of resignation without Good Reason, the date the Company ends the Term for Cause, or the date of Employee’s death, remain outstanding and exercisable to the extent provided in the applicable award agreement or plan, by the Employee or his personal representative or executor.
 
(ii) Without Cause; Good Reason. In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment hereunder without Cause, or the Employee terminates his employment with Good Reason, he shall be entitled to the Accrued Compensation and, subject to Section 21 and 22 below,
 
(A) A lump sum payment equal to two times his Base Salary in effect at the date of termination, less applicable withholding
(B) Continued participation (via state or federal insurance continuation laws such as COBRA, to the extent available) in the health and welfare plans (or comparable plans, if continued participation in the Company’s plans is not available) provided by the Company to Employee at the time of termination for a period of two years from the date of termination or, if earlier, until he is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent employer. The Company agrees to reimburse the payments Employee makes for such coverage, whether via continuation or separate comparable policy. Premium reimbursements shall be made by the Company to Employee consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy, provided that Employee submits documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for insurance coverage. Employee shall give the Company prompt notice of his eligibility for comparable coverage.
 
 
4
 
 
(C) All vested stock options shall remain exercisable from the date of termination until the expiration date of the applicable award. So long as the Section 8 below does not apply, then all options which are unvested at the date of termination Without Cause or for Good Reason shall be accelerated as of the date of termination such that the number of option shares equal to 1/24th the number of option shares multiplied by the number of full months of Employee’s employment hereunder shall be deemed vested and immediately exercisable by the Employee. Any unvested options over and above the foregoing shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect, and shall not be exercisable by the Employee.
 
(D) Any severance payments and/or other separation benefits contemplated by this Agreement are conditional on Employee: (i) continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the PIA (as defined herein); (ii) delivering prior to or contemporaneously with any such severance payments, and not revoking, (x) a customary general release of claims relating to Employee’s employment and/or this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and stockholders and (y) a customary affirmation of Employee’s continuing obligations hereunder and under the PIA.
 
Unless otherwise required by law, no severance payments and/or benefits under this Agreement will be paid and/or provided until after the expiration of any relevant revocation period. Subject to the effectiveness of the release, the severance payments shall be paid on the first payroll date that begins 30 days after Employee’s termination of employment.
 
8. Change in Control Payments. The provisions of this paragraph 8 set forth the terms of an agreement reached between Employee and the Company regarding Employee's rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as hereinafter defined) of the Company during the Term.

10. Successors and Assigns.
 
(a) Employee. This Agreement is a personal contract, and the rights and interests that the Agreement accords to Employee may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated by him. All rights and benefits of Employee shall be for the sole personal benefit of Employee, and no other person shall acquire any right, title or interest under this Agreement by reason of any sale, assignment, transfer, claim or judgment or bankruptcy proceedings against Employee.

Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.

12. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing signed by Employee and by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

14. Severability.

If for any reason any provision of this Agreement containing restrictions is held to cover an area or to be for a length of time that is unreasonable or in any other way is construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be determined to be entirely null, void and of no effect; instead, it is the intention and desire of both the Company and Employee that, to the extent that the provision is or would be valid or enforceable under applicable law, any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below shall construe and interpret or reform this Agreement to provide for a restriction having the maximum enforceable area, time period and such other constraints or conditions (although not greater than those contained currently contained in this Agreement) as shall be valid and enforceable under the applicable law.

19. Applicable Law; Arbitration. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any amendments or modifications hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, as applied to a contract executed within and to be performed in such State. The parties agree that any disputes shall be definitively resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Denver, Colorado in accordance with its rules of arbitration procedure then in effect. The parties consent to the jurisdiction to the federal courts of the District of Colorado or, if there shall be no jurisdiction, to the state courts located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, to enforce any arbitration award rendered with respect thereto. Each party shall choose one arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator. All costs and fees related to such arbitration (and judicial enforcement proceedings, if any) shall be borne by the Company unless Employee’s claim is deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator(s) or judge.
 
20. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the reasonable expenses of Employee’s counsel in negotiating this Agreement.
 
21. Section 409A.
 
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of Employee’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company determines that Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of Employee’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after Employee’s separation from service, or (B) Employee’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
 
(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
 
(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon Employee’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon Employee’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 1(h).
 
 
8
 
 
(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
 
22. Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. If any payment or benefit Employee would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata.
 
In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
Unless Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.
 
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Employee or the Company) or such other time as requested by Employee or the Company.
 
23.            
Indemnification. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company and Employee shall enter into a mutually acceptable indemnification agreement.

(c) Notification of New Employer. In the event that Employee leaves the employ of the Company, Employee grants consent to notification by the Company to Employee’s new employer about his rights and obligations under this Agreement and the PIA (hereinafter defined).
 
7. Severance Benefits.
 
(a) Cause Defined. "Cause" means (i) willful malfeasance or willful misconduct by Employee in connection with his employment; (ii) Employee's gross negligence in performing any of his duties under this Agreement; (iii) Employee's conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty to, or entry of a plea of nolo contendere with respect to, any crime other than a traffic violation or infraction which is a misdemeanor; (iv) Employee’s willful and deliberate violation of a Company policy, (v) Employee's unintended but material breach of any written policy applicable to all employees adopted by the Company which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors within thirty (30) business days after notice thereof; (vi) the Employee’s unauthorized use or disclosure of any proprietary information or trade secrets of the Company or any other party as to which the Employee owes an obligation of nondisclosure as a result of the Employee’s relationship with the Company, (vii) the Employee’s willful and deliberate breach of his obligations under this Agreement, or (viii) any other material breach by Employee of any of his obligations in this Agreement which is not cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board of Directors within thirty (30) business days after notice thereof.
 
(b) Disability Defined. "Disability" shall mean (i) Employee's incapacity due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable accommodation, that results in Employee being substantially unable to perform his duties hereunder for six consecutive months (or for six months out of any nine month period) or (ii) a qualified independent physician mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee determines that Employee is incapacitated due to a physical or mental condition and, if reasonable accommodation is required by law, after any reasonable accommodation so as to be unable to regularly perform the duties of his position and such condition is expected to be of a permanent or near-permanent duration. Until such time as Employee is terminated for Disability under this paragraph (b), Employee shall continue to receive his Base Salary hereunder, provided that if the Company provides Employee with disability insurance coverage, payments of Employee's Base Salary shall be reduced by the amount of any disability insurance payments received by Employee due to such coverage. The Company shall give Employee written notice of termination due to Disability which shall take effect sixty (60) days after the date it is sent to Employee unless Employee shall have returned to the performance of his duties hereunder during such sixty (60) day period (whereupon such notice shall become void). In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment as a result of his Disability, Employee shall be entitled to the same benefits as if his employment had been terminated by the Company without Cause.
 
 
3
 
 
(c) Good Reason Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean, without Employee’s written consent: (i) there is a material reduction of the level of Employee’s compensation (excluding any bonuses) (except where there is a general reduction applicable to the management team generally, provided, however, that in no case may the Base Salary be reduced below the amount stated in Section 3(a)), (ii) there is a material reduction in Employee’s overall responsibilities or authority, or scope of duties (it being understood that the occurrence of a Change in Control shall not, by itself, necessarily constitute a reduction in Employee’s responsibilities or authority); or (iii) there is a material change in the principal geographic location at which Employee must perform his services (it being understood that the relocation of Employee to a facility or a location within forty (40) miles of the State Capitol Building in Denver, Colorado shall not be deemed material for purposes of this Agreement). No event shall be deemed to be “Good Reason” if the Company has cured the event (if susceptible to cure) within 30 days of receipt of written notice from Employee specifying the event or events which, absent cure, would constitute “Good Cause.”
 
(d) Accrued Compensation Defined. Accrued Compensation shall mean an amount which shall include all amounts earned or accrued by Employee through the date of termination of this Agreement but not paid as of such date, including (i) Base Salary, (ii) reimbursement for business expenses incurred by the Employee on behalf of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s expense reimbursement policy in effect at such time, (iii) any expense allowance pursuant to Company policy, (iv) accrued but unused vacation pay per Company policy, and (v) bonuses and incentive compensation earned and awarded prior to the date of termination. Accrued Compensation shall be paid on the first regular pay date after the date of termination (or earlier, if required by applicable law).
 
(e) Termination.
 
(i) Cause; Without Good Reason; Death; Disability. If the Company ends the Term for Cause, if Employee resigns as an employee of the Company for reasons other than an event of Good Reason, the Employee dies or Disability occurs , then the Company shall pay to Employee the Accrued Compensation but shall have no obligation to pay Employee any amount, whether for salary, benefits, bonuses, or other compensation or expense reimbursements of any kind, accruing after the end of the Term, and such rights shall, except as otherwise required by law or pursuant to the applicable award agreement or plan, be forfeited immediately upon the end of the Term. For the sake of clarity, any stock options, restricted stock or other equity compensation shall, to the extent vested on the date of resignation without Good Reason, the date the Company ends the Term for Cause, or the date of Employee’s death, remain outstanding and exercisable to the extent provided in the applicable award agreement or plan, by the Employee or his personal representative or executor.
 
(ii) Without Cause; Good Reason. In the event that the Company terminates Employee’s employment hereunder without Cause, or the Employee terminates his employment with Good Reason, he shall be entitled to the Accrued Compensation and, subject to Section 21 and 22 below,
 
(A) A lump sum payment equal to two times his Base Salary in effect at the date of termination, less applicable withholding
(B) Continued participation (via state or federal insurance continuation laws such as COBRA, to the extent available) in the health and welfare plans (or comparable plans, if continued participation in the Company’s plans is not available) provided by the Company to Employee at the time of termination for a period of two years from the date of termination or, if earlier, until he is eligible for comparable coverage with a subsequent employer. The Company agrees to reimburse the payments Employee makes for such coverage, whether via continuation or separate comparable policy. Premium reimbursements shall be made by the Company to Employee consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy, provided that Employee submits documentation to the Company substantiating his payments for insurance coverage. Employee shall give the Company prompt notice of his eligibility for comparable coverage.
 
 
4
 
 
(C) All vested stock options shall remain exercisable from the date of termination until the expiration date of the applicable award. So long as the Section 8 below does not apply, then all options which are unvested at the date of termination Without Cause or for Good Reason shall be accelerated as of the date of termination such that the number of option shares equal to 1/24th the number of option shares multiplied by the number of full months of Employee’s employment hereunder shall be deemed vested and immediately exercisable by the Employee. Any unvested options over and above the foregoing shall be cancelled and of no further force or effect, and shall not be exercisable by the Employee. Any issued restricted stock will vest 90 days following the termination date.
 
(D) Any severance payments and/or other separation benefits contemplated by this Agreement are conditional on Employee: (i) continuing to comply with the terms of this Agreement and the PIA (as defined herein); (ii) delivering prior to or contemporaneously with any such severance payments, and not revoking, (x) a customary general release of claims relating to Employee’s employment and/or this Agreement against the Company or its successor, its subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and stockholders and (y) a customary affirmation of Employee’s continuing obligations hereunder and under the PIA.
 
Unless otherwise required by law, no severance payments and/or benefits under this Agreement will be paid and/or provided until after the expiration of any relevant revocation period. Subject to the effectiveness of the release, the severance payments shall be paid on the first payroll date that begins 30 days after Employee’s termination of employment.
 
8. Change in Control Payments. The provisions of this paragraph 8 set forth the terms of an agreement reached between Employee and the Company regarding Employee's rights and obligations upon the occurrence of a "Change in Control" (as hereinafter defined) of the Company during the Term. These provisions are intended to assure and encourage in advance Employee's continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties and his objectivity during the pendency and after the occurrence of any such Change in Control. The following provisions shall apply in the event of a Change in Control, in addition to any payment or benefit that may be required pursuant to Section 7.
 
(a) Equity. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, all stock options, restricted stock and other stock-based grants to Employee by the Company or that may be granted in the future shall, irrespective of any provisions of his award agreements, immediately and irrevocably vest and become exercisable and any restrictions thereon shall lapse. All stock options shall remain exercisable from the date of the Change in Control until the expiration of the term of such stock options.
 
(b) Definitions. For purposes of this paragraph 8, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 
"Change in Control" shall mean any of the following:

5
 
 
(2) the acquisition of the Company by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions to which the Company is party (including, without limitation, any stock acquisition, reorganization, merger or consolidation but excluding any issuance of securities by the Company in a transaction or series of transactions made principally for bona fide equity financing purposes) other than a transaction or series of related transactions in which the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such transaction or series of related transactions retain, immediately after such transaction or series of related transactions, as a result of shares in the Company held by such holders prior to such transaction or series of related transactions, at least a majority of the total voting power represented by the outstanding voting securities of the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity (or if the Company or such other surviving or resulting entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary immediately following such acquisition, its parent); or
 
(3) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one transaction or series of related transactions.
 
9. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a condition of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee agrees to sign the Company’s standard form of Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement (“PIA”).
 
10. Successors and Assigns.
 
(a) Employee. This Agreement is a personal contract, and the rights and interests that the Agreement accords to Employee may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated by him. All rights and benefits of Employee shall be for the sole personal benefit of Employee, and no other person shall acquire any right, title or interest under this Agreement by reason of any sale, assignment, transfer, claim or judgment or bankruptcy proceedings against Employee. Except as so provided, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Employee and his personal representatives, distributees and legatees.
 
(b) The Company. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of the Company and of its successors and assigns, including (but not limited to) any Company that may acquire all or substantially all of the Company's assets or business or into or with which the Company may be consolidated or merged. Any such successor of the Company will be deemed substituted for the Company under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For this purpose, “successor” means any person, firm, corporation or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company.
 
11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the equity award agreements referred to herein) represents the entire agreement between the parties concerning Employee's employment with the Company and supersedes all prior negotiations, discussions, understanding and agreements, whether written or oral, between Employee and the Company relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
12. Amendment or Modification, Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived unless such amendment or waiver is agreed to in writing signed by Employee and by a duly authorized officer of the Company. No waiver by any party to this Agreement or any breach by another party of any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of a similar or dissimilar condition or provision at the same time, any prior time or any subsequent time.

14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any party or circumstances shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below to be invalid and unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to such person or circumstances other than those to which it is so determined to be invalid and unenforceable shall not be affected, and each provision of this Agreement shall be validated and shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement containing restrictions is held to cover an area or to be for a length of time that is unreasonable or in any other way is construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be determined to be entirely null, void and of no effect; instead, it is the intention and desire of both the Company and Employee that, to the extent that the provision is or would be valid or enforceable under applicable law, any court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator acting pursuant to Section 19 below shall construe and interpret or reform this Agreement to provide for a restriction having the maximum enforceable area, time period and such other constraints or conditions (although not greater than those contained currently contained in this Agreement) as shall be valid and enforceable under the applicable law.
 
15. Survivorship. The respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement to the extent necessary to the intended preservation of such rights and obligations.
 
16. Headings. All descriptive headings of sections and paragraphs in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference, and no provision of this Agreement is to be construed by reference to the heading of any section or paragraph.
 
17. Withholding Taxes. All salary, benefits, reimbursements and any other payments to Employee under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable payroll and withholding taxes and deductions required by any law, rule or regulation of and federal, state or local authority.
 
 
7
 
 
18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together constitute one and same instrument. The parties agree that facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as original signatures.
 
19. Applicable Law; Arbitration. The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and any amendments or modifications hereto shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado, as applied to a contract executed within and to be performed in such State. The parties agree that any disputes shall be definitively resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Denver, Colorado in accordance with its rules of arbitration procedure then in effect. The parties consent to the jurisdiction to the federal courts of the District of Colorado or, if there shall be no jurisdiction, to the state courts located in Arapahoe County, Colorado, to enforce any arbitration award rendered with respect thereto. Each party shall choose one arbitrator and the two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator. All costs and fees related to such arbitration (and judicial enforcement proceedings, if any) shall be borne by the Company unless Employee’s claim is deemed to be frivolous by the arbitrator(s) or judge.
 
20. Legal Fees. The Company shall pay the reasonable expenses of Employee’s counsel in negotiating this Agreement.
 
21. Section 409A.
 
(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if at the time of Employee’s separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Company determines that Employee is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, then to the extent any payment or benefit that Employee becomes entitled to under this Agreement on account of Employee’s separation from service would be considered deferred compensation otherwise subject to the 20 percent additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A(a) of the Code as a result of the application of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code, such payment shall not be payable and such benefit shall not be provided until the date that is the earlier of (A) six months and one day after Employee’s separation from service, or (B) Employee’s death. If any such delayed cash payment is otherwise payable on an installment basis, the first payment shall include a catch-up payment covering amounts that would otherwise have been paid during the six-month period but for the application of this provision, and the balance of the installments shall be payable in accordance with their original schedule.
 
(b) All in-kind benefits provided and expenses eligible for reimbursement under this Agreement shall be provided by the Company or incurred by Employee during the time periods set forth in this Agreement. All reimbursements shall be paid as soon as administratively practicable, but in no event shall any reimbursement be paid after the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense was incurred. The amount of in-kind benefits provided or reimbursable expenses incurred in one taxable year shall not affect the in-kind benefits to be provided or the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year (except for any lifetime or other aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses). Such right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
 
(c) To the extent that any payment or benefit described in this Agreement constitutes “non-qualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code, and to the extent that such payment or benefit is payable upon Employee’s termination of employment, then such payments or benefits shall be payable only upon Employee’s “separation from service.” The determination of whether and when a separation from service has occurred shall be made in accordance with the presumptions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 1(h).
 
 
8
 
 
(d) The parties intend that this Agreement will be administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. To the extent that any provision of this Agreement is ambiguous as to its compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the provision shall be read in such a manner so that all payments hereunder comply with Section 409A of the Code. Each payment pursuant to this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A 2(b)(2). The parties agree that this Agreement may be amended, as reasonably requested by either party, and as may be necessary to fully comply with Section 409A of the Code and all related rules and regulations in order to preserve the payments and benefits provided hereunder without additional cost to either party.
 
22. Application of Internal Revenue Code Section 280G. If any payment or benefit Employee would receive pursuant to a Change in Control from the Company or otherwise (“Payment”) would (i) constitute a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this sentence, be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the “Excise Tax”), then such Payment shall be equal to the Reduced Amount. The “Reduced Amount” shall be either (x) the largest portion of the Payment that would result in no portion of the Payment being subject to the Excise Tax or (y) the largest portion, up to and including the total, of the Payment, whichever amount, after taking into account all applicable federal, state and local employment taxes, income taxes, and the Excise Tax (all computed at the highest applicable marginal rate), results in Employee’s receipt, on an after-tax basis, of the greater economic benefit notwithstanding that all or some portion of the Payment may be subject to the Excise Tax. If a reduction in payments or benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that the Payment equals the Reduced Amount, reduction shall occur in the manner that results in the greatest economic benefit for Employee. If more than one method of reduction will result in the same economic benefit, the items so reduced will be reduced pro rata.
 
In the event it is subsequently determined by the Internal Revenue Service that some portion of the Reduced Amount as determined pursuant to clause (x) in the preceding paragraph is subject to the Excise Tax, Employee agrees to promptly return to the Company a sufficient amount of the Payment so that no portion of the Reduced Amount is subject to the Excise Tax. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Reduced Amount is determined pursuant to clause (y) in the preceding paragraph, Employee will have no obligation to return any portion of the Payment pursuant to the preceding sentence.
 
Unless Employee and the Company agree on an alternative accounting firm, the accounting firm engaged by the Company for general tax compliance purposes as of the day prior to the effective date of the Change in Control shall perform the foregoing calculations. If the accounting firm so engaged by the Company is serving as accountant or auditor for the individual, entity or group effecting the Change in Control, the Company shall appoint a nationally recognized accounting firm to make the determinations required hereunder. The Company shall bear all expenses with respect to the determinations by such accounting firm required to be made hereunder.
 
The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the accounting firm engaged to make the determinations hereunder to provide its calculations, together with detailed supporting documentation, to the Employee and the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date on which Employee’s right to a Payment is triggered (if requested at that time by the Employee or the Company) or such other time as requested by Employee or the Company.
 
23. Indemnification. As a condition to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Company and Employee shall enter into a mutually acceptable indemnification agreement.

Exhibit 10.3
 
SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT
 
THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (“Second Amendment”) is made and entered into as of this 4th day of April, 2019 by and between BETA INVESTORS GROUP, L.L.C., an Illinois limited liability company (“Landlord”), as successor in interest to 373 Inverness, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company (“373 Inverness”) and AYTU BIOSCIENCE, INC, a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
 
RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, 373 Inverness, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company, and Tenant entered into that certain Office Lease on August 15, 2015, (“Lease”) for the premises located at 373 Inverness Parkway, Suite 206, Englewood, Colorado 80112, consisting of 6,579 rentable square feet (the “Premises”), and
 
WHEREAS, the parties desire to extend the Term of the Lease for the Premises and otherwise amend the Lease, all on the following terms and conditions.
 
AGREEMENT
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
 
1.
Recitals. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by reference.
 
2.
Lease Term. The Lease Term for the Premises is hereby extended for a period of thirty-six (36) months commencing on October 1, 2020 and expiring on September 30, 2023 (the “Second Extended Term”).
 
3.
Base Rent. The Base Rent for the Second Extended Term shall be as follows:
 
Period
 
Base Rent
PSF
 
 
Base Rent
Per Month
 
 
Base Rent
Per Annum
 
10/1/20-09/30/21
 $17.50 
 $9,594.38 
 $115,132.50 
10/1/21-09/30/22
 $18.00 
 $9,868.50 
 $118,422.00 
10/1/22-09/30/23
 $18.50 
 $10,142.63 
 $121,711.50 
 
4. Right of First Refusal (“RFR”). Before entering into a new lease on all or any portion of the Building, and (1) as long as Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, and (2) the existing tenant in such available space elects not to renew its lease, Landlord will notify Tenant of the fair market base rent, rental increases and other applicable business terms (“Rental Terms”) upon which it would be willing to lease such available space to Tenant. Notwithstanding the sentence above, with respect to suite 110, Landlord has a prior obligation to offer the RFR to the tenant in suite 100. If the tenant in suite 100 declines to exercise its RFR then Tenant would have the right to exercise its RFR on Suite 110.

If within 5 business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, Tenant agrees in writing to lease “Additional Space” at the Rental Terms, Landlord and Tenant will have a period of 30 days to negotiate a lease for Additional Space after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of intent to lease on all the same terms of this Lease, except for the Rental Terms and tenant improvements, and other matters dependent upon the size of the Premises, such as Tenant’s Proportionate Share. If Tenant does not deliver its notice of intent to lease Additional Space offered in Landlord’s notice within such 5 business day period, or if Landlord and Tenant do not enter into a fully executed lease for Additional Space within such 30 day period, then this RFR will lapse and be of no further force and effect and Landlord will have the right to lease Additional Space to a third party on terms in Landlord’s sole discretion whether or not such terms and conditions are more or less favorable than those offered to Tenant. This RFR is personal to Tenant and is not assignable.
 
5. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant represent to each other that they have not dealt with any brokers in connection with this Second Amendment. Each party agrees to indemnify the other against any liability arising from a breach of the representations contained in this paragraph.
 
6. Miscellaneous.
 
A. This Second Amendment sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters set forth herein. There have been no additional oral or written representations or agreements.
 
B. Except as herein modified or amended, the provisions, conditions and terms of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
 
C. In the case of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Lease and this Second Amendment, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall govern and control.
 
D. The capitalized terms used in the Second Amendment shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Lease to the extent that such capitalized terms are defined therein and not redefined in this Second Amendment.
 
E. The foregoing Second Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which when taken together, shall constitute on and the same document.
 
F. The parties executing this Second Amendment hereby represent and warrant that they have the authority to execute and bind the entity for which they are executing this Second Amendment in all respects.
