EX-99.(G) 2 dex99g.htm NOTICE OF BREACH AND TERMINATION, DATED AS OF AUGUST 30, 2006 Notice of Breach and Termination, dated as of August 30, 2006

Exhibit G

NOTICE OF BREACH AND TERMINATION

We make reference to the Clinical Development and License Agreement dated as of July 14, 2005 among BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”), Clinical Development Capital LLC (together with its successors and assigns, CDC”), and Arius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (such agreement, as amended, the CDLA).

CDC hereby gives notice to BDSI that (i) BDSI is in material breach of the CDLA and (ii) CDC is terminating the CDLA pursuant to Section 10.2 of the CDLA. BDSI’s breaches are not curable, such that the termination of the CDLA is effective immediately. If one or more of these breaches are subject to cure, then this Notice of Breach and Termination (Notice) also serves as a notice for purposes of starting any applicable cure period under the CDLA.

The natures of BDSI’s defaults are as follows:

 

  1. On August 15 2006, BDSI submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), without CDC’s approval, an amended agenda that changed the protocols and end-point of the clinical trials in violation of, inter alia, Sections 2.1 and 2.3 of the CDLA.

 

  2. On July 26, 2006, BDSI was notified by the Research Advisory Panel of California that BDSI had failed to comply with applicable laws and protocols in obtaining informed patient consents, which failures are in violation of, inter alia, Sections 4.1 and 4.5 of the CDLA.

 

  3. BDSI failed until August 22, 2006 to notify CDC of the failures to comply identified in item 2 above, in violation of, inter alia, Section 4.5 of the CDLA.

CDC hereby demands that BDSI immediately comply with its obligations under Section 10.5 of the CDLA, including its obligations to transfer the specified assets and rights to CDC. CDC reserves all its rights and remedies against BDSI and its officers and directors, including with respect to breaches not enumerated.

EX-99.(H) 3 dex99h.htm LETTER FROM CDC IV, LLC Letter from CDC IV, LLC

Exhibit H

August 30, 2006

The Board of Directors

BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc.

2501 Aerial Center Parkway, Suite 205

Morrisville, NC 27560

Dear Directors:

We again write to you regarding the current state of affairs at BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI” or the “Company”). As you are well aware, we have voiced our serious concerns over the Company’s operations and development plan on multiple occasions to Chairman Frank O’Donnell and in correspondence to you and management.

We have attempted to work cooperatively with the Board and the management of the Company. However, BDSI has failed to comply with its legal obligations under the Clinical Development and License Agreement, dated as of July 14, 2005 (as amended, the “CDLA”). As such, simultaneous with this letter we are delivering to the Company a Notice of Breach and Termination (the “Notice”) citing various material breaches by BDSI under the CDLA.

It is regrettable that our efforts to work with the Company have been rejected, as we continue to believe in the potential of the BEMA Fentanyl product. Even now, if we were able to agree on mutually acceptable terms (which would necessarily include a change in the current CEO of the Company), we would still be prepared to offer $5 million of financing to BDSI. Should the Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) choose to accelerate its currently outstanding debt in response to the Notice, we would permit a portion of that $5 million in financing to be used to take out the Laurus debt if we could take over its position on the same terms as Laurus’ current agreement.

As you know, we are required under our consent from QLT, Inc. to inform it of the Notice. We will also be complying with our obligations under Section 13d of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 13d-2 promulgated thereunder.

Sincerely,

 

/s/ David R. Ramsay
