1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The
following discussion provides only a brief description of the documents
described below. The discussion is qualified in its entirety by
the text of the agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on
Form 8-K as an exhibit.
On May
16, 2008, we and BASF Beauty Care Solutions, L.L.C., a member of BASF Group
(“BASF”), signed a Manufacturing and Distribution Agreement (“Agreement”) with
an effective date of August 1, 2007. This Agreement supersedes The
Master Agreement for Product Development, Manufacturing and Distribution and the
Product Development and Distribution Agreement for Ilomastat dated August 15,
2002, the Tolling Agreement dated October 20, 2005, as amended, and the Letter
of Intent with the effective date of February 1, 2006, as amended, (“Prior
Agreements”) between us and BASF.
Under
this Agreement, we appointed BASF as an exclusive manufacturer and distributor
of our MultiStat™ Compound, Ilomastat, (“QMT Compound”) in the over-the-counter
retail cosmetic consumer products in the worldwide territory with the exclusive
and non-exclusive licenses of certain patent rights. In consideration
of the rights and appointments, we are entitled to receive distribution
fees on a quarterly basis of the contract year minimum sales of products
containing QMT Compound in each of the three contract years as set forth in the
Agreement. BASF agrees that to the extent required by applicable law,
all products used, sold or distributed by BASF will be manufactured
substantially in the U.S. The contract year began January 1, 2008, and each
consecutive 12-month period thereafter during the term of the
Agreement. The term of the Agreement expires on December 31,
2010. We may terminate this Agreement prior to such expiration upon a
material breach by BASF, or BASF’s failure to meet minimum sales
requirements.
The
license under the Agreement may be sublicensed to BASF’s affiliates or third
parties solely for the right to manufacture and to sell the licensed products
for the purpose set forth in the Agreement.
There are no material relationships
between the Company or its affiliates and any of the parties to the Agreement,
other than with respect to the Agreement.
