Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Collaboration and License Agreement

On November 6, 2006, registrant, acting through its wholly-owned subsidiary Genetronics, Inc. ("Genetronics"), and Wyeth, acting through its Wyeth Pharmaceutical Division (collectively, "Wyeth"), entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the "Agreement"). Under the Agreement, Genetronics granted Wyeth a worldwide non-exclusive license under Genetronics’ electroporation DNA delivery technology for certain intramuscular applications of therapeutic DNA vaccines (the "Product").

As consideration for the licenses granted to Wyeth, Genetronics will receive an upfront fee of $4.5 million, as well as research support, annual license maintenance fees, and royalties on net Product sales. In addition, contingent upon achievement of clinical and regulatory milestones, Genetronics will receive development payments of up to $60 million over the term of the Agreement. The Agreement also contemplates Genetronics’ exclusive clinical and commercial supply of its devices (including single use components) to Wyeth for use in the Product.

The term of the Agreement commenced upon execution and will extend on a country by country basis until the last to expire of all Royalty Periods (as such term is defined in the Agreement) for any Product in that country, unless the Agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its provisions as a result of breach, by mutual agreement, or by Wyeth’s right to terminate without cause on ninety (90) days prior written notice from Wyeth to Genetronics.
