All reimbusements, payments or other liabilities of Columbia Tech to Customer (collectively a “Reimbursable Loss”) pursuant to this Agreement resulting from and arising from the same, continuous, related or repeated conditions or incidents will be treated as arising out of one “Reimbursable Event” for purposes of applying the Recall Cost Cap, Consequential Damages Cap and the Indemnification Cap . In no event will any Reimbursable Loss claimed and paid under one “Reimbursable Event” be recoverable under any other Reimbursable Event or recoverable by aggregating caps in multiple years when the Reimbursable Loss would have been limited by a limitation if submitted and paid all within the same year. Regardless of the number of years this Agreement may continue in force, and of the number Products manufactured which may be payable or paid, or of any other circumstances whatsoever, Columbia Tech’s liability for Reimbursable Losses will not be cumulative from year to year or period to period. When Columbia Tech and another Affiliate of Columbia Tech (e.g. Cogmedix, Inc.) both work on Products, the combined liability for the Reimbursable Event shall not exceed the amounts of the Caps if the Reimbursable Event occurred with only one party’s participation.

A trial to hear a portion of this case in the 16th Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, began on December 2, 2013. In that trial, based on its rulings on written motions, the court disallowed our claims for actual and consequential damages for breach of contract and legal malpractice against the defendants. On December 19, 2013, we reached an agreement with the defendants to settle our claims for breach of fiduciary duty and fraud in return for (i) defendants' paying to us the sum of $500,000 , which will be paid to us in January 2014, and (ii) dismissal of the defendants’ counterclaim of $492,134 and interest on that amount, which will remove this amount from our balance sheet as a liability. In entering into this settlement, the defendants have not admitted liability on any matter related to the claims in the litigation. As part of this settlement, we are now free to appeal the court’s rulings and request from the appellate court authorization to pursue our claims for actual and consequential damages with respect to our claims alleging breach of contract and legal malpractice against the defendants. We expect to receive a ruling from the appellate court on that appeal during the second half of 2014. There can be no assurance of the outcome of the appellate process, including whether the appellate court will allow us to seek actual and consequential damages for breach of contract and legal malpractice and breach of fiduciary duty, as well as what amount of damages, if any, we may recover.
