sales price, In this context, you may need to provide an explanation with relevant

plus other relevant financial and market data). Note: The Department recognizes that the
discussion of requisite insurance with an Applicant may require a number of
communications during the pendency of an application. Thus, the question of whether
a given premium would "distort the sales price" of a Technology might not arise when
the Application is submitted. If the question does arise later in the process, the
application may submit appropriate information at that time.
