On May 4, 2015, Nephros, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Second Amendment to License and Supply Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with Medica S.p.A. (“Medica”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company and Medica agreed that the total minimum amount of purchases by the Company from Medica for calendar year 2015 will be €1,000,000 (approximately $1,130,000). Additionally, the Company and Medica agreed that Italy will continue to be excluded from the worldwide license, and that, until December 31, 2022, the Company will pay Medica a royalty of 3% of net sales, in addition to any other payments required, except that if the Company sublicenses to a third party the right to market and sell its HydraGuard products, the Company will pay Medica a fee of €2.00 (approximately $2.25) per HydraGuard unit in lieu of the 3% royalty.

On May 6, 2015, the Company entered into a Sublicense Agreement with CamelBak Products, LLC (“CamelBak”). Under this Sublicense Agreement, the Company granted to CamelBak an exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide (with the exception of Italy) sublicense and license, in each case solely to market, sell, distribute, import and export the Company’s HydraGuard individual water treatment devices. The sublicensed intellectual property is licensed to the Company by Medica pursuant to the License and Supply Agreement, as amended, between the Company and Medica, which granted the Company an exclusive license, with right of sublicense, to market, promote, distribute, offer for sale and sell certain filtration products based upon Medica’s proprietary Medisulfone ultrafiltration technology in combination with the Company’s filtration products, which includes the HydraGuard individual water treatment devices.

In exchange for the rights granted to CamelBak, CamelBak agreed to pay the Company a percentage of the gross profit on any sales made to a branch of the U.S. military, subject to certain exceptions, and to pay the Company a fixed per-unit fee for any other sales made. CamelBak is also required to meet or exceed certain minimum annual fees payable to the Company, and if such fees are not met or exceeded, the Company may convert the exclusive sublicense to a non-exclusive sublicense with respect to non-U.S. military sales. Additionally, the Company has the right to terminate the sublicense with respect to a specific geographic area if CamelBak enters into an agreement or otherwise obtains or develops the rights to market or sell a product that competes with the HydraGuard individual water treatment devices in such geographic area. If the Company does not terminate the sublicense in such situation, and the sales of the competing product in such geographic area exceed the sales of the HydraGuard individual water treatment devices in the same area during any full calendar year, the Company may convert the exclusive sublicense to a non-exclusive sublicense solely with respect to such geographic area.

The Sublicense Agreement will expire on December 31, 2022, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Sublicense Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the material terms of the Second Amendment and the Sublicense Agreement do not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment and the Sublicense Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2015.

On May 7, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Malcom Persen as a director of the Company. Mr. Persen was also appointed to serve as the Chair of the Audit Committee of the Board. The Company will provide Mr. Persen with the standard compensation and indemnification approved for non-employee directors.

Mr. Persen is currently the President of Resolute Performance Contracting, a solar construction firm that he founded in 2011. Previously, from 2009 through 2011, he was the Executive Vice President at Ironco Enterprises, a renewable energy contracting organization. From 2004 through 2008, Mr. Persen served as the Chief Financial Officer for Radyne Corporation, a NASDAQ-traded manufacturer and distributor of satellite and telecommunications equipment. While at Radyne, he was part of the management team that tripled revenues and sold the firm, resulting in a 100% return for shareholders. Earlier, Mr. Persen was employed as Group Financial Officer for Avnet, Inc., a global distributor of electronic components and computer systems. Other experience included assignments with consultancies Arthur D. Little and Mercer Management Consulting. In addition, Mr. Persen lectured in finance at the University of Arizona from 2010 to 2013 and at Boston College from 1988 to 1999.
