Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 23, 2012, NuPathe Inc. (“NuPathe”) entered into an Equipment Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with Automated Engineering, LLC (“AE”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, AE will design, assemble, test, deliver and install equipment which will be used to manufacture commercial supply of components of NuPathe’s migraine patch (also referred to as NP101).  Based on the current work specifications, NuPathe expects to pay AE an aggregate of $976,250 for such equipment and services as follows:

 

·                  10% was paid in connection with the execution of this Purchase Agreement;

·                  20% due at project initiation;

·                  30% due upon design approval;

·                  20% due upon approval of equipment by NuPathe at AE’s facilities; and

·                  20% due upon final acceptance of equipment by NuPathe at NuPathe’s designated delivery location.

 

Either party may terminate the Purchase Agreement for non-performance or material breach where such breach is not cured within 30 days following receipt of notice from the non-breaching party.  In addition, NuPathe may terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time and for any reason provided that AE has received notice of such termination more than 30 days prior to the agreed upon delivery date for the equipment.  In the event of any such early termination by NuPathe, NuPathe shall pay the actual expenses, including allocated overhead and profit, incurred by AE up to the date that AE received such notice of termination.

 

The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Purchase Agreement and, by its nature, is incomplete. The Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. All readers are encouraged to read the entire text of the Purchase Agreement.
