Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.


As previously disclosed by Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”), on June 26, 2011, the Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 11-10497-11 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). On November 21, 2011, in connection with the transactions described below, the Company requested that the Bankruptcy Court dismiss the Chapter 11 Case, and on December 9, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order dismissing the Chapter 11 Case.  In connection with the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case, the Bankruptcy Court, among other things, declined to retain jurisdiction over claim objection proceedings and found moot the Company’s objection to the claims of Cardium Therapeutics, Inc. (“Cardium”) and Cardium Healthcare, Inc. (“Cardium Healthcare”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cardium.  The dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case is based upon the provisions of both 11 U.S.C. Sections 305(a) and 1112(b).


On November 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Secured Line of Credit Letter Agreement (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) with DermaStar International, LLC (“DermaStar”).   The Line of Credit Agreement became effective on December 9, 2011, in connection with the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court.  On December 9, 2011, as required by the Line of Credit Agreement, the Company entered into a Security Agreement and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement with DermaStar, pursuant to which the Company granted to DermaStar a blanket security interest in all of its assets, including its intellectual property.  


The Line of Credit Agreement provides for advances to the Company of up to an aggregate of $750,000 (each an “Advance” and collectively the “Loan”), subject to the satisfaction by the Company of certain conditions in connection with the initial Advance and each subsequent Advance.  Each Advance will be made pursuant to a Promissory Note in favor of DermaStar.  On December 12, 2011, the Company requested and received an initial Advance of $150,000 from DermaStar and issued DermaStar a promissory note in the amount of $150,000 (the “Initial Note”).  The proceeds received from the Initial Note will be used to satisfy certain administrative and priority claims of the creditors of the Company and pay certain legal and accounting fees and expenses.  Future Advances under the Line of Credit Agreement, if any, will be made in $50,000 increments and are expected to be used to pay legal and accounting fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.  The Loan accrues interest at 10% per annum and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.  The amounts due under the Loan may accelerate at the option of DermaStar upon the occurrence of certain customary events of default.  In addition, the amounts due under the Loan may accelerate if (i) there is a change in the ownership of control of more than 20% of the voting capital stock of the Company (other than purchases of the Company’s capital stock by DermaStar) and (ii) the Company is named as a defendant in any legal action brought by any current or former employee, executive officer or director of the Company or any third party with whom the Company had entered into any agreement prior to the date of the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case.  


In partial consideration for and in connection with the Line of Credit Agreement, on November 21, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with DermaStar, pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue ten (10) shares of newly-designated Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to DermaStar for an aggregate purchase price of $100,000.   The Purchase Agreement became effective on December 9, 2011, in connection with the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Case by the Bankruptcy Court.  On December 12, 2011, the Company and DermaStar consummated the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to DermaStar in the offering are convertible into 59,988,002 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Certain of the rights and preferences of the Series A Preferred Stock are summarized in Item 5.03 below.  The shares of Series A Preferred Stock were issued in a private placement transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 


As a condition of DermaStar’s purchase of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company entered into a Mutual General Release Agreement (the “Mutual Release”) with certain former and current employees, officers and directors of the Company (the “Releasors”).  The Mutual Release releases the Company and the Releasors thereto from liability for actions and events occurring through the date of the Mutual Release.   


The foregoing descriptions of the above documents do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the Line of Credit Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Intellectual Property Security Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Mutual Release, attached as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 10.3, Exhibit 10.4 and Exhibit 10.5, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.


As previously disclosed by the Company, in connection with the Chapter 11 Case, the Company, as seller, and Cardium Healthcare, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cardium, as purchaser, had entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement dated June 26, 2011 pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell substantially all of the assets of the Company to Cardium Healthcare, Inc. pursuant to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to court approval and the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement.  Consummation of the sale was subject to obtaining an order of approval from the Bankruptcy Court. On July 26, 2011, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Company’s motion to approve the Asset Purchase Agreement.  On October 7, 2011, the Company terminated the Asset Purchase Agreement with Cardium Healthcare, Inc. pursuant to its terms.  


Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.


The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Line of Credit and the Loan is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.


Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.


The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.


Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant.


The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.  Immediately prior to the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock as described above, the Company had issued and outstanding approximately 15,882,000 shares of Common Stock and no shares of Preferred Stock.  The ten shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to DermaStar are convertible into 59,988,002 shares of Common Stock.  The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation currently authorizes the Company to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of capital stock.  As a result, the Company does not currently have a sufficient number of shares of authorized Common Stock to convert all shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  Until the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is increased through an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, DermaStar has the ability to convert five of its ten shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 29,940,120 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 65% of the capital stock of the Company on an as-converted basis.  


The Company expects to seek stockholder approval of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company sufficient to permit DermaStar to convert all ten shares of Series A Preferred Stock into Common Stock.  Following approval of such an amendment DermaStar would be able to convert all ten shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 59,988,002 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 79% of the capital stock of the Company on an as-converted basis.  In addition, because the Series A Preferred Stock votes on an as-converted basis together with the Common Stock, DermaStar has control over approximately 79% of the voting securities of the Company.  The separate approval of the Series A Preferred Stock is also required for the approval of certain matters, some of which are summarized in Item 5.03 below.  As a result, DermaStar has sufficient voting power to direct the affairs of the Company.


DermaStar’s investment in Transdel was made out of its available funds.  There are no understandings or arrangements between the Company’s board of directors and management and DermaStar with respect to the election of directors.


Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


(b)

Effective December 16, 2011, Anthony S. Thornley resigned as a director from the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Thornley’s resignation was not in connection with any known disagreement with the Company on any matter.  Effective December 16, 2011, Terry Nida resigned as principle executive officer and principle financial officer of the Company.


(d)

Effective December 16, 2011, upon the unanimous consent of the Company’s Board of Directors, Mark L. Baum and Dr. Robert J. Kammer joined the Board of Directors, each to serve until his resignation or removal or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.  Mr. Baum and Dr. Kammer are the Managing Members of DermaStar and both Dr. Kammer and Mr. Baum hold ownership interests in DermaStar.  There are no arrangements or understandings between either Mr. Baum or Dr. Kammer and any other persons pursuant to which either Mr. Baum or Dr. Kammer was elected as a director.  The information set forth under Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.02(d).

Section 4.   Voting Rights .  On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter.  Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class.  However, as long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not, without the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock: (a) alter or change adversely the powers, preferences or rights given to the Series A Preferred Stock or alter or amend this Certificate of Designation; (b) increase the number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock; (c) amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation (as amended) or Bylaws of the Corporation; (d) authorize or issue, or obligate itself to issue, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, any equity security (other than Series A Preferred Stock), including any security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security, having a preference over, or being on a parity with, the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends, liquidation, redemption or otherwise; (e) authorize or issue, or obligated itself to issue, any Common Stock, including any security convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, at a conversion price, exercise price or exchange rate or other purchase price that is lower than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of such issuance; (f) effect any reclassification or recapitalization of the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation; (g) effect any Fundamental Transaction; (h) enter into any material related party transactions; (i) purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than (A) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock as expressly authorized herein, (B) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock and (C) repurchases of stock from former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service at the lower of the original purchase price or the then-current fair market value thereof; (j) create, or authorize the creation of, or issue, or authorize the issuance of any debt security, or permit any subsidiary to take any such action with respect to any debt security, if the aggregate indebtedness of the Corporation and its subsidiaries for borrowed money following such action would exceed $100,000 other than equipment leases or bank lines of credit; (k) create, or hold capital stock in, any subsidiary that is not wholly owned (either directly or through one or more other subsidiaries) by the Corporation, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any capital stock of any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Corporation, or permit any direct or indirect subsidiary to sell, lease, transfer, exclusively license or otherwise dispose (in a single transaction or series of related transactions) of all or substantially all of the assets of such subsidiary; (l) increase or decrease the authorized number of directors constituting the Board of Directors; or (m) enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.


Section 5.   Rank; Liquidation .

The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to all of the Common Stock; (ii) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to any Series A Preferred Stock (“ Junior Securities ”); (iii) on parity with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock (“ Parity Securities ”); and (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series A Preferred Stock (“ Senior Securities ”), in each case, as to dividends, distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (all such distributions being referred to collectively as “ Distributions ”).







(b)

Subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary (each, a “ Liquidation Event ”), each holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to any distributions of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock and Junior Securities and pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount equal to $10,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of Common Stock or Junior Securities. If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to pay the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock the amount required under the preceding sentence, then all remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably to holders of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Securities.


(c)

After payment to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock of the amount required under Section 5 (b) and subject to the prior and superior rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, the remaining assets or surplus funds of the Corporation, if any, available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, any other class or series of capital stock that participates with the Common Stock in the distribution of assets upon any Liquidation Event and the Common Stock, with the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock deemed to hold that number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are then convertible.


Section 6.   Conversion .


(a)

Conversions at Option of Holder .  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the date of the issuance thereof, at the option of the Holder thereof, into a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion Ratio in effect at the time of such conversion. Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “ Notice of Conversion ”), duly completed and executed. Provided the Corporation’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Notice of Conversion may specify, at the Holder’s election, whether the applicable Conversion Shares shall be credited to the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (a “ DWAC Delivery ”). The “ Conversion Date ”, or the date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation; provided that the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation within two (2) Trading Days thereafter. In all other cases, the Conversion Date shall be defined as the Trading Day on which the original stock certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion, are received by the Corporation. The calculations set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of manifest or mathematical error.


(b)

Conversion Ratio .  The “ Conversion Ratio ” for each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Stated Value divided by the Conversion Price.


(c)

Mechanics of Conversion .


(i)

Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion .  Not later than three Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), two Trading Days after receipt by the Corporation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed, and the accompanying Notice of Conversion (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Corporation shall (a) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which certificate or certificates shall not have any legends on it) or (b) in the case of a DWAC Delivery, electronically transfer such Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with DTC through its DWAC system. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by, the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Conversion Notice by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates for Conversion Shares or electronic receipt of such shares, as applicable, in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any original Series A Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation and such Holder shall promptly return to the Corporation any Common Stock certificates or otherwise direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation.







(ii)

Obligation Absolute .  Subject to Section 6 (c) hereof and subject to Holder s right to rescind a Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) above, the Corporation s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6 (c) hereof and subject to a Holder s right to rescind a Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or any one associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to such Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series A Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained by the Corporation, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the Series A Preferred Stock which is subject to such injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6 (c) hereof and subject to a Holder s right to rescind a Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) above, issue Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder such certificate or certificates, or electronically deliver (or cause its transfer agent to electronically deliver) such shares in the case of a DWAC Delivery, pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) on or prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by such Holder to the Corporation), then, unless the Holder has rescinded the applicable Conversion Notice pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) above, the Corporation shall pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to such Holder an amount payable, at the Corporation’s option, either (a) in cash or (b) in shares of Common Stock that are valued for these purposes at the Closing Sale Price on the date of such calculation, in each case equal to the product of (x) the number of Conversion Shares required to have been issued by the Corporation on such Share Delivery Date, (y) an amount equal to the Daily Failure Amount and (z) the number of Trading Days actually lapsed after such fifth (5th) Trading Day after the Share Delivery Date during which such certificates have not been delivered, or, in the case of a DWAC Delivery, such shares have not been electronically delivered. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief; provided that Holder shall not receive duplicate damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.


(iii)

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion . If the Corporation fails to deliver to a Holder the applicable certificate or certificates or to effect a DWAC Delivery, as applicable, by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6 (c) (i) (other than a failure caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by such Holder to the Corporation), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Corporation shall (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6 (c) (i).  For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Corporation written notice, within three (3) Trading Days after the occurrence of a Buy-In, indicating the amounts payable to such Holder in respect of such Buy-In together with applicable confirmations and other evidence reasonably requested by the Corporation. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Holder shall not be entitled to both (i) require the reissuance of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock submitted for conversion for which such conversion was not timely honored and (ii) receive the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6 (c) (i).







(iv)

Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion .  The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments of Section 7) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.


(v)

Fractional Shares .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.


(vi)

Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the registered Holder(s) of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.


(d)

Status as Stockholder .  Upon each Conversion Date, (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock and (ii) the Holder’s rights as a holder of such converted shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive certificates for such shares of Common Stock and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series A Preferred Stock.


Section 7.   Certain Adjustments .


(a)

Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock) with respect to the then outstanding shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7 (a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.







(b)

Fundamental Transaction .  If, at any time while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, (A) the Corporation effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its Common Stock is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property), (B) the Corporation effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which all of the Common Stock is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) the Corporation effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7 (a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a Fundamental Transaction ), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock the Holders shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive Conversion Shares, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “ Alternate Consideration ”). For purposes of any such subsequent conversion, the determination of the Conversion Ratio shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Ratio in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock following such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall file a new Certificate of Designation with the same terms and conditions and issue to the Holders new preferred stock consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holders’ right to convert such preferred stock into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement to which the Corporation is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 7 (b) and ensuring that the Series A Preferred Stock (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall cause to be delivered to each Holder, at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, written notice of any Fundamental Transaction at least 20 calendar days prior to the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close.


(c)

Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.


(d)

Notice to the Holders .


(i)

Adjustment to Conversion Price .  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.


(ii)

Other Notices .  If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series A Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.







Section 8.   Miscellaneous .

Attn:  Terry Nida, Interim Chief Executive Officer


Re:

Secured Line of Credit


Ladies and Gentlemen:


We advise you that DermaStar International, LLC (“ Lender ”) is prepared to make a secured line of credit available to Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Borrower ”), with aggregate advances (each an “ Advance ” and collectively, the “ Loan ”) thereunder up to (but not exceeding) an aggregate principal amount of $750,000.  The terms and conditions of the line of credit are as follows:


Availability:

The Loan may be drawn down under this line of credit during the period beginning on the date of the Final Dismissal Order through November 21, 2012, subject to prior receipt of any required documentation specified herein and satisfaction of any other conditions.  Advances shall be in a minimum of $50,000 and in multiples thereof.  This is not a revolving line of credit, and any amount of the Loan repaid may not be reborrowed.


Final Dismissal Order ” shall mean an order entered by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California dismissing Borrower’s voluntary petition for reorganization relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Case No. 11-10497-11, and for which no appeal has been timely filed, or if a timely appeal or a request for extension of time within which to file such an appeal has been filed, no stay of enforcement or effectiveness of such order has been entered within the initial period to timely file such appeal.


Repayment:

The outstanding principal of the Loan will be due and payable on the earlier of (a) November 21, 2012 or (b) upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.  


Optional

Prepayment:

Borrower may prepay the Loan, together with accrued interest, in full or in part at any time without any prepayment penalty or premium.  Borrower shall indicate which Advances are being prepaid in connection with any partial prepayment.


Interest:

The Loan will bear interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  Borrower agrees to pay interest on the Loan on the date of any prepayment, on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, and at maturity.  If any principal or other amount payable by Borrower under this letter agreement (this “ Agreement ”) or under any other Loan Document (as defined below) is not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower agrees to pay interest on such unpaid amount, from the date such amount becomes due until the date such amount is paid in full, on demand of Lender, at a rate per annum which is 2% higher than the rate of interest set forth in the first sentence above (the “ Default Rate ”).  Additionally, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as defined in the Notes referred to below), the interest rate hereunder will be increased to the Default Rate.  All interest will be computed on the basis of a 365-day (or 366-day) year and the actual number of days elapsed.  Payment of any such interest at the Default Rate will not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default and will be without prejudice to the right of Lender to exercise any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.  In no event will Borrower be obligated to pay Lender interest, charges or fees at a rate in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable law.  (As used herein, “ Loan Documents ” means this Agreement, the Notes, the Collateral Documents referred to below, any guaranty, any subordination or intercreditor agreements, and all other certificates, documents, agreements and instruments delivered by Borrower or any other person or entity (“ Person ”) to Lender under or in connection with this Agreement).

Each payment of principal and interest thereon, shall be recorded by Lender on its books, which recordations shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to such matters; provided that the failure of Lender to make any such recordation or any error therein shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower hereunder.


This Note is subject to prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Agreement.


All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in same day or immediately available funds, to Lender, in accordance with Lender’s payment instructions.


Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due, or whenever any interest payment date or any other date specified hereunder would otherwise occur, on a day other than a Business Day, then such payment shall be made, and such interest payment date or other date shall occur, on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest hereunder.  


Borrower agrees to make all payments under this Note without setoff or deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) and regardless of any counterclaim or defense.


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the interest paid or agreed to be paid hereunder shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the “ Maximum Rate ”).  If Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excessive interest shall be applied to the principal of this Note or, if it exceeds the unpaid principal, applied to any other Note or refunded to Borrower.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, Lender may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the stated term of this Note.


The request of Borrower for the Advance evidenced by this Note and the receipt by Borrower of the proceeds thereof shall be deemed a representation by Borrower as of the date of each such request or receipt that:  (i) Borrower is duly organized or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, and has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Loan Documents; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action of Borrower and do not and will not (A) contravene the terms of the articles or certificate of incorporation, or bylaws, or other applicable organizational documents, of Borrower, or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any lease, instrument, contract or other agreement to which Borrower is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected; or (B) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree or the like binding on or affecting Borrower; (iii) this Note and the other Loan Documents are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms; (iv) Borrower has no subsidiaries.

(10)

Borrower or any other Person shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in the Collateral Documents on its part to be performed or observed and any such failure shall remain unremedied beyond the applicable grace period, if any, specified therein (unless Lender determines that such failure is not capable of remedy);

Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may (i) by notice to Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of this Note, all interest accrued and unpaid hereon and all other amounts payable hereunder to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the unpaid principal amount of this Note, all such interest and all such other amounts shall become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, provided that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code, the result which would otherwise occur only upon giving of notice by Lender to Borrower as specified above shall occur automatically, without the giving of any such notice; and (ii) whether or not the actions referred to in clause (i) have been taken, exercise any or all of Lender’s rights and remedies under any Collateral Document and any guaranty, and proceed to enforce all other rights and remedies available to Lender under applicable law.


Borrower hereby waives presentment, protest, demand, or other notice of any kind in connection with this Note.

(c)

Secured Party shall have the right to, in the name of Debtor, or in the name of Secured Party or otherwise, upon notice to but without the requirement of assent by Debtor, and Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints Secured Party (and any of Secured Party’s officers, employees or agents designated by Secured Party) as Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority to: (i) sign and file any of the financing statements and other documents and instruments which must be executed or filed to perfect or continue perfected, maintain the priority of or provide notice of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral; (ii) assert, adjust, sue for, compromise or release any claims under any policies of insurance; (iii) give notices of control, default or exclusivity (or similar notices) under any account control agreement or similar agreement with respect to exercising control over deposit accounts or securities accounts; and (iv) execute any and all such other documents and instruments, and do any and all acts and things for and on behalf of Debtor, which Secured Party may deem reasonably necessary or advisable to maintain, protect, realize upon and preserve the Collateral and Secured Party’s security interest therein and to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement.  Secured Party agrees that, except upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it shall not exercise the power of attorney, or any rights granted to Secured Party, pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv).  The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable so long as the Obligations have not been paid and performed in full.  Debtor hereby ratifies, to the extent permitted by law, all that Secured Party shall lawfully and in good faith do or cause to be done by virtue of and in compliance with this Section 6 .

Any material impairment in the value of the Collateral or the priority of Secured Party’s Lien hereunder;


(g)

Any levy upon, seizure or attachment of any of the Collateral which shall not have been rescinded or withdrawn; or


(h)

Any loss, theft or substantial damage to, or destruction of, any material portion of the Collateral (unless within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any such event, Debtor furnishes to Secured Party evidence satisfactory to Secured Party that the amount of any such loss, theft, damage to or destruction of the Collateral is fully insured under policies naming Secured Party as an additional named insured or loss payee).


SECTION 8

Remedies .


(a)

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Secured Party may declare any of the Obligations to be immediately due and payable and shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the Notes and any other Document, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC and other applicable laws.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Secured Party may peaceably and without notice enter any premises of Debtor, take possession of any the Collateral, remove or dispose of all or part of the Collateral on any premises of such Debtor or elsewhere, or, in the case of equipment, render it nonfunctional, and otherwise collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon all or any part of the Collateral, and demand, give receipt for, settle, renew, extend, exchange, compromise, adjust, or sue for all or any part of the Collateral, as Secured Party may determine; (ii) Secured Party may require any Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral and make it available to Secured Party at any place and time designated by Secured Party; (iii) Secured Party may secure the appointment of a receiver of the Collateral or any part thereof (to the extent and in the manner provided by applicable law); (iv) Secured Party may sell, resell, lease, use, assign, license, sublicense, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral in its then condition or following any commercially reasonable preparation or processing (utilizing in connection therewith any of Debtor’s assets, without charge or liability to Secured Party therefor) at public or private sale, by one or more contracts, in one or more parcels, at the same or different times, for cash or credit, or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, all as Secured Party deems advisable; provided , however , that Debtor shall be credited with the net proceeds of sale only when such proceeds are finally collected by Secured Party.  Debtor recognizes that Secured Party may be unable to make a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Collateral, by reason of prohibitions contained in applicable securities laws or otherwise, and expressly agrees that a private sale to a restricted group of purchasers for investment and not with a view to any distribution thereof shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale.  Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption Debtor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by law.  Secured Party shall give Debtor such notice of any private or public sales as may be required by the UCC or other applicable law.


(b)

For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise its rights and remedies under this Section 8 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, Debtor hereby grants to Secured Party an irrevocable, non-exclusive and assignable license (exercisable without payment or royalty or other compensation to Debtor) to use, license or sublicense any intellectual property Collateral.


(c)

Secured Party shall not have any obligation to clean up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale.  Secured Party has no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any other Person liable for them, and Secured Party may release, modify or waive any Collateral provided by any other Person to secure any of the Obligations, all without affecting Secured Party’s rights against Debtor.  Debtor waives any right it may have to require Secured Party to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations.  Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral.  Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like.  This procedure will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.  If Secured Party sells any of the Collateral upon credit, Debtor will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Secured Party and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser.  In the event the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Secured Party may resell the Collateral and Debtor shall be credited with the proceeds of the sale.


(d)

To the extent Debtor uses the proceeds of any of the Obligations to purchase Collateral, Debtor’s repayment of the Obligations shall apply on a “first-in, first-out” basis so that the portion of the Obligations used to purchase a particular item of Collateral shall be paid in the chronological order the Debtor purchased the Collateral.



6




(e)

The cash proceeds actually received from the sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral, and any other amounts received in respect of the Collateral the application of which is not otherwise provided for herein, shall be applied first , to the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of Secured Party in exercising or enforcing its rights hereunder and in collecting or attempting to collect any of the Collateral, and to the payment of all other amounts payable to Secured Party pursuant to Section 12 hereof; and second , to the payment of the Obligations.  Any surplus thereof which exists after payment and performance in full of the Obligations shall be promptly paid over to Debtor or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the UCC or other applicable law.  Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party for any deficiency which exists after any sale or other disposition or collection of Collateral.


SECTION 9

Certain Waivers .  Debtor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) any right of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling of the Collateral or other collateral or security for the Obligations; (ii) any right to require Secured Party (A) to proceed against any Person, (B) to exhaust any other collateral or security for any of the Obligations, (C) to pursue any remedy in Secured Party’s power, or (D) to make or give any presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the Collateral; and (iii) all claims, damages, and demands against Secured Party arising out of the repossession, retention, sale or application of the proceeds of any sale of the Collateral.


SECTION 10

Notices .  All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including by facsimile transmission or by email) and mailed (by certified or registered mail), sent or delivered to the respective parties hereto at or to their respective addresses, facsimile numbers or email addresses set forth below their names on the signature pages hereof, or at or to such other address, facsimile number or email address as shall be designated by any party in a written notice to the other parties hereto.  All such notices and communications shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, sent by certified or registered mail or sent by an overnight courier service, when received; and (ii) if sent by facsimile transmission or electronic mail, when sent.  Electronic mail may be used only for routine communications, such as distribution of informational documents or documents for execution by the parties thereto, and may not be used for any other purpose.


SECTION 11

No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies .  No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to Secured Party.


SECTION 12

Costs and Expenses; Indemnification .  


(a)

Debtor agrees to pay on demand: (i) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to Secured Party, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of this Agreement, the Letter Agreement, the Notes and the other Documents, including the formation of the Lender, and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the terms thereof, and the custody of the Collateral; (ii) all title, appraisal, survey, audit, consulting, search, recording, filing and similar costs, fees and expenses incurred or sustained by Secured Party in connection with this Agreement or the Collateral; and (iii) all costs and expenses of Secured Party, and the fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of, and preservation of any rights or interests under, this Agreement, the Letter, the Notes and the other Documents, including in any out-of-court workout or other refinancing or restructuring or in any bankruptcy case, and the protection, sale or collection of, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, including all expenses of taking, collecting, holding, sorting, handling, preparing for sale, selling, or the like, and other such expenses of sales and collections of Collateral.


(b)

Debtor hereby agrees to indemnify Secured Party, any affiliate thereof, and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, counsel and other advisors (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to an Indemnified Person, which may be imposed on or incurred by any Indemnified Person, or asserted against any Indemnified Person by any third party or by Debtor, in any way relating to or arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the transactions contemplated hereby or the Collateral, or (ii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Debtor (the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”); provided that Debtor shall not be liable to any Indemnified Person for any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent they are found by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  If and to the extent that the foregoing indemnification is for any reason held unenforceable, Debtor agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.



7




(c)

Any amounts payable to Secured Party under this Section 12 or otherwise under this Agreement if not paid upon demand shall bear interest from the date of such demand until paid in full, at the rate of interest set forth in the Notes.


SECTION 13

Binding Effect .  This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Debtor, Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns and shall bind any Person who becomes bound as a debtor to this Agreement.  Debtor may not assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise convey its rights, benefits, obligations or duties hereunder without the prior express written consent of Secured Party.  Any such purported assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other conveyance by Debtor without the prior express written consent of Secured Party shall be void.  Debtor acknowledges and agrees that in connection with an assignment of, or grant of a participation in, the Obligations Secured Party may assign, or grant participations in, all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder.  Upon any assignment of Secured Party’s rights hereunder, such assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment, all rights of Secured Party hereunder.  Debtor agrees that, upon any such assignment, such assignee may enforce directly, without joinder of Secured Party, the rights of Secured Party set forth in this Agreement.  Any such assignee shall be entitled to enforce Secured Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement to the same extent as if it were the original secured party named herein.


SECTION 14

SECTION 15

SECTION 16

Severability .  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.  If, however, any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction.


SECTION 17

Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.


SECTION 18

The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), it will, no later than three Trading Days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.  The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4.  Certificates for Securities subject to legend removal hereunder may be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by Purchaser.


(d)

In addition to Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Conversion Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 4.1(c), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend. Nothing herein shall limit Purchaser’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver certificates representing any Securities as required by the Transaction Documents, and Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.


(e)

Purchaser agrees with the Company that Purchaser will sell any Securities pursuant to either the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements, or an exemption therefrom, and that if Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing Securities as set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.


(f)

The Company is under no obligation to register the resale of the Securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws; provided , however , that if the Company consummates a Subsequent Financing, any and all registration rights applicable to Common Stock issued or issuable to investors in connection with such Subsequent Financing shall automatically, and with no further action by the Company or the Purchaser, be deemed to apply to the Conversion Shares and the Company shall take all actions and execute all documents necessary to effectuate the same.

15





(b)

At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof and ending at such time that all of the Securities may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “ Public Information Failure ”) then, in addition to Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Securities, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the aggregate Subscription Amount on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30 th ) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for Purchaser to transfer the Securities pursuant to Rule 144.  The payments to which Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 4.2(b) are referred to herein as “ Public Information Failure Payments .” Public Information Failure Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (i) the last day of the calendar month during which such Public Information Failure Payments are incurred and (ii) the third (3 rd ) Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Public Information Failure Payments is cured.  In the event the Company fails to make Public Information Failure Payments in a timely manner, such Public Information Failure Payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full.

4.5

Shareholder Rights Plan .  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and Purchasers.

The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Purchaser Party against the Company or others and any liabilities the Company may be subject to pursuant to law.

(e)

The Company must provide Purchaser with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and Purchaser will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.11, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within thirty (30) Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice.


(f)

The Company and Purchaser agree that if Purchaser elects to participate in the Subsequent Financing, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any term or provision whereby Purchaser shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Purchaser.


(g)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.11 and unless otherwise agreed to by Purchaser, the Company shall either confirm in writing to Purchaser that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that Purchaser will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the tenth (10 th ) Business Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice.  If by such tenth (10 th ) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by Purchaser, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and Purchaser shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

4.13

Acknowledgment of Dilution .  The Company acknowledges that the issuance of the Securities may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions.  The Company further acknowledges that its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, its obligation to issue the Preferred Shares and Conversion Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company may have against Purchaser and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.
