+Added: Additional milestones may be established and linked to clinical results of the product submission and/or approval of the product by the FDA and the
+Added: commercial launch of the product.
+Added: Revenue recognition arising from milestone payments is dependent upon the facts and circumstances surrounding the milestone payments.

+Added: development-based milestone (e.g., an NDA filing or obtaining regulatory approval) represent variable consideration and are included in the transaction price subject to any constraints.
+Added: If the milestone payments relate to future development, the
+Added: timing of recognition depends upon historical experience and the significance a third party has on the outcome.
+Added: For milestone payments to be received upon the achievement of a sales threshold, the revenue from the milestone payments is recognized at

+Added: under the Monetization Agreement.
+Added: Under the Monetization Agreement, additional aggregate contingent payments of up to $75,000 may be due to us upon the achievement of worldwide royalty and other commercial targets within a specified

+Added: Agreement and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the Company.
+Added: The sum of future royalty payments less the $50,000 in proceeds received and future contingent payments will be recorded as interest expense over the life of the Monetization

+Added: The Company will periodically assess the estimated royalty and milestone payments to Marathon from Sunovion and contingent milestone payments from Marathon to the
+Added: To the extent the amount or timing of such payments is materially different from the original estimates, an adjustment will be recorded prospectively to increase or decrease interest expense.
