Re: Letter of Intent
Dear Wade:
This Letter of Intent (“LOI”) outlines the general terms of a proposed transaction between Corium International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal place of business at 2686 Middlefield Road, Suite G, Redwood City, CA 94063 (“Corium”) and ZARS, Inc. a Utah corporation, with its principal place of business at 1142 West 2320 South, Suite A, Salt Lake City, UT 84119 (the “Company”) with respect to the development and production of Phase II clinical supplies and the subsequent development, license and supply of an analgesic/heat combination Product for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain (the “Transaction”). The Product is a transdermal drug patch that contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketoprofen and incorporates ZARS’ patented controlled heat-aided drug delivery (CHADD™) technology (the “Product”). The LOI will facilitate and serve as the basis for a definitive Development, License and Supply Agreement that will ultimately govern the parties’ legal rights and obligations in connection with a further Transaction (“Definitive Agreement”). The LOI will also serve as the basis for the development and supply of Phase II clinical supplies of the Product.
1. Principal Business Terms. The principal terms of the Definitive Agreement are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Principal Terms”). In addition to the Principal Terms, the Definitive Agreement will include legal and commercial terms that are typical for agreements of this type and such other terms and conditions as may be agreed to in writing by the parties.
2. Negotiation of the Definitive Agreement. The parties mutually agree to set a target date to negotiate the Definitive Agreement embodying the Principal Terms (the “Definitive Agreement Target Date”). Such target date will occur at the successful completion of the production and evaluation of Phase II clinical supplies. The parties will then to use their good faith efforts to negotiate the Definitive Agreement.
3. Termination. In the event the parties hereto fail to enter into the Definitive Agreement on or before the Definitive Agreement Target Date, the understandings

1.


 

contained herein, unless extended by mutual agreement in writing of the parties, shall terminate, except as for Sections 3 (Termination), 4 (Costs and Expenses), 5 (Confidentiality), 6 (Nonbinding LOI), 7 (Governing Law), 9 (Relationship of the Parties), and 10 (Entire Agreement).
4. Costs and Expenses. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with its activities under this LOI and with regard to negotiating the basic terms for a Definitive Agreement.
5. Confidentiality. The parties have executed a Nondisclosure Agreement dated July 17, 2003 (the “NDA”). The parties agree to treat this LOI (including, without limitation, the Principal Terms) as the “Confidential Information” of both parties pursuant to the terms of the NDA.
6. Nonbinding LOI. Except for the parties’ obligations under Sections 4 (Costs and Expenses), 5 (Confidentiality), 7 (Governing Law), 9 (Relationship of the Parties), 10 (Entire Agreement), and 7 (Intellectual Property in Exhibit A), this LOI does not constitute a binding agreement and does not create any legally enforceable rights or obligations between the parties.
7. Governing Law. This LOI will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah without regard to or application of its conflicts of laws rules or principles.
8. Commencement of Performance. Upon execution of this LOI by both parties, each party will commence performance pursuant to the Principal Terms and will keep the other informed of its progress.

Exhibit B
Project Background and Scope
Background:
ZARS is developing an analgesic/heat combination Product for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain. The Product is a transdermal drug patch that contains the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) ketoprofen and incorporates ZARS’ controlled heat-aided drug delivery (CHADD) technology. The CHADD technology produces a controlled level of heat to aid transdermal penetration of certain drugs. Our preliminary Product configuration incorporates two separate components (i.e., the transdermal drug patch and the CHADD heating patch), shown in Figure 1 below, which will be manufactured and packaged separately.
[Figure 1]
     Figure 1. Diagram of CHADD heating patch applied over transdermal ketoprofen drug patch.
Product Descriptions:
    The matrix transdermal ketoprofen patch is designed to achieve an in-vitro flux through hairless mouse skin of approximately [ * ].
 
    The drug patch adhesive should provide sufficient flux while ensuring that the patch remains affixed for at least an [ * ] application time and causing minimal skin irritation.
 
    The drug patch should be thin and flexible and ideally somewhat stretchable so that it can be applied to contoured or curved body sites such as knees and elbows.
 
    The drug patch size and shape should be conducive for use on a variety of application sites including knees, elbows, lower back, etc.
 
    The drug patch should have a shelf life of at least [ * ].

7.


 

Preliminary Formulation / Product Configuration Option:
The Product description noted below reflects the current prototype developed by ZARS. This prototype will be described in an IND submission [ * ] and will be used in our first phase 1 study [ * ]. While we would like to maintain the properties of the matrix patch (i.e., adhesion, wear time, ketoprofen flux), we will consider proposed changes the matrix components and/or formulation if better alternatives are known.
Ketoprofen Matrix Components:
  Ketoprofen content is [ * ] by weight
  Matrix patch uses a [ * ]. The PSA/ketoprofen mixture is cast directly onto the release liner [ * ]. After drying, a [ * ] backing film [ * ] is applied over the PSA/ketoprofen coating.
Ketoprofen Matrix Patch Characteristics:
     Dimensions:
Matrix Drug Patch: 33 cm2 rectangular matrix patches (5.3 cm x 6.3 cm)
     Proposed Application:
An initial Product configuration is designed for application just below the knee cap and consists of three 33 cm2 matrix drug patches (total area of 99 cm2) will be placed on three areas below the knee cap, and then CHADD heating patches will be placed over the matrix patches. The knee joint will then be wrapped with a breathable, elastic ACE-type bandage that covers the drug and CHADD patches.
     Adhesion Properties:
The adhesive on the matrix drug patch should secure the drug patch to the area below the knee cap for at least 8 hours and be flexible enough to adhere to the region below the knee cap.

Preliminary Budget
  It is understood that the results of the tasks performed in the formulation development stage will be used to make the decision on the preferred option for Phase II development. Corium and Company will develop mutually agreeable metrics under which a definition and a measurement of formulation development success will be defined. At that point, the Parties will enter into Stage II. The estimated budget below covers the formulation development and preparations for manufacture and supply of Phase II clinical materials. Pilot Phase II stability costs are included in the budget. Adjustments to the Preliminary Budget in either direction must be approved in writing by the Steering Committee.
