Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 26, 2013, Zogenix, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Co-Marketing and Development Services Agreement (the “Co-Marketing Agreement”) with Battelle Memorial Institute (“Battelle”). The Co-Marketing Agreement supersedes the Co-Marketing and Option Agreement between the Company and Battelle dated March 22, 2012, as amended on March 21, 2013.
Under the Co-Marketing Agreement, Battelle will have the exclusive right to co-market the Company’s DosePro® drug delivery technology (“DosePro”) and Battelle’s DosePro development services, to a specified list of Battelle’s pharmaceutical clients (the “Battelle Clients”) in a specified field of use. Zogenix will have the exclusive right to market DosePro and Battelle DosePro development services to a limited list of pharmaceutical clients.
Further, during the term of the Co-Marketing Agreement, and in the event Zogenix enters into an agreement with a Battelle Client to further develop DosePro (a “Transaction”), Battelle will be the preferred supplier of DosePro development services to the Battelle Client.
If Battelle provides Dose Pro development services to a Battelle Client in connection with a Transaction, Battelle will be compensated for the development services performed. In addition, Battelle will receive a percentage of cash payments actually received by Zogenix under a Transaction, subject to certain specified caps, whether or not Battelle provides development services.
The Co-Marketing Agreement shall remain in effect through November 26, 2018 unless otherwise terminated by the parties. Either party may terminate upon the occurrence of specified insolvency or bankruptcy events with respect to the other party, upon written notice of a material uncured breach by the other party, at any time after May 26, 2015 if no Transaction has been executed by Zogenix and a Battelle Client or if the parties mutually agree to terminate the Co-Marketing Agreement in writing.

The foregoing summary of the material terms of the Co-Marketing Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Co-Marketing Agreement, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company on its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2013, requesting confidential treatment for certain portions.
