ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Amendment to Collaborative Development Program Agreements with Guardian Industries Corp.
On October 30, 2014, we amended two collaborative development program (“CDP”) agreements that we had previously entered into with Guardian Industries Corp. (“Guardian”). We entered into our first CDP agreement with Guardian in February 2010 to collaborate on research and development tasks relating to liquid coatings for flat glass. We entered into our second CDP agreement with Guardian in July 2010 to collaborate on research and development tasks relating to sputtered coatings for flat glass. Prior to this amendment, the agreements were amended effective January 1, 2012, December 31, 2013 and January 31, 2014 (with each of the liquid coatings and sputtered coatings agreements, including the three amendments, a “CDP Agreement” and collectively, the “CDP Agreements”).
This most recent amendment (“Fourth Amendment”) is effective as of February 1, 2015, includes a reduction in the Company resources dedicated to the CDP Agreements and a corresponding reduction in the monthly program fees paid by Guardian. Additionally, the Fourth Amendment includes a new licensing and royalty structure that will be applied to all past and future work done under the CDP Agreements, subject to certain maximum levels.
The foregoing description of the amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the amendment that will subsequently be filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K as required by SEC rules.
