Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.


Private Placement Offering


On April 20, 2012, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) relating to the sale and issuance of 10,058,455 units (each, a “Unit”) consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and a warrant (each, a “Warrant”) to purchase up to one-fourth of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.185 per share, at a price per Unit of $0.79 (the “Private Placement”).  The Private Placement closed on April 25, 2012 (the “Closing Date”).  In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,058,455 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,514,642 shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.95 million.  The Investors are not entitled to any registration rights with respect to the Common Stock and Warrants issued in the Private Placement.


The Warrants have a term of three years and are exercisable any time after April 25, 2012 (the “Initial Exercise Date”).  The Company may require that the Investors exercise the Warrants in whole, but not in part, at any time within twenty (20) business days after the occurrence of the following: (i) the volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock for ten (10) consecutive trading days is equal to or greater than the exercise price of the Warrant; (ii) the Company has received a Filing Review Notification from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the status of the Company s Impracor topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; and (iii) sufficient shares of Common Stock are authorized and reserved for issuance upon the full exercise of the Warrant. 


The securities sold in the Private Placement were sold in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) afforded by Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. In determining that the issuance of the securities in the Private Placement qualified for an exemption under Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D, the Company relied on the following facts: the Company did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; each investor in the Private Placement represented to the Company that it was an accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D) and that it was purchasing the securities for its own account and not with a view to distribute them; and the securities issued are restricted securities.


The Securities Purchase Agreement and related form of Warrant have been attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.


DermaStar Line of Credit Conversion


As originally disclosed in our Form 8-K filed on December 20, 2011, the Company entered into a Secured Line of Credit Letter Agreement (the “Line of Credit Agreement”) with DermaStar International, LLC (“DermaStar”) on December 9, 2011.  The Line of Credit Agreement provided for advances to the Company of up to an aggregate of $750,000.  As of April 20, 2012, the aggregate principal balance owing under the Line of Credit was $750,000.  Effective April 20, 2012, the Company and DermaStar entered into a Promissory Note Conversion Agreement (the “Conversion Agreement”) wherein the parties agreed that the entire outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Notes and all related accrued interest, totaling $762,534, would be converted into Units at a rate of $0.79 per Unit, consistent with the terms of the issuance of the Units in the Private Placement, effective upon the closing of the Private Placement.  On the Closing Date, DermaStar was issued a total of 965,233 shares of Common Stock and a related Warrant to purchase an aggregate of 241,308 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.185 per share upon conversion of the outstanding principal balance and unpaid interest under the Line of Credit. The warrant issued to DermaStar is substantially the same as the form of Warrant issued in the Private Placement.  The Line of Credit has been terminated.


The securities issued upon conversion of the Line of Credit pursuant to the Conversion Agreement were issued in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 afforded by Section 4(2) thereof. In determining that the issuance of the securities pursuant to the Conversion Agreement qualified for an exemption under Section 4(2), the Company relied on the following facts: DermaStar is an accredited investor and the Company’s major stockholder; the Company did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities; DermaStar represented that it was purchasing the securities for its own account and not with a view to distribute them; and the securities issued were restricted securities.


Director and Chief Executive Officer Mark L. Baum and the Chairman of our Board of Directors, Robert J. Kammer, are the Managing Members of DermaStar.  The Conversion Agreement was unanimously approved by the Company’s disinterested directors, with Mr. Baum and Dr. Kammer abstaining.  


The Promissory Note Conversion Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the terms of the Promissory Note Conversion Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

The Advisory Agreement has a term of 2 years.

ARTICLE IV.


OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES


4.1

Transfer Restrictions .  


(a)

The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws.  In connection with any transfer of Securities, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.  As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement.



12




(b)

The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Securities in the following form:


THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN  REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.  


The Company acknowledges and agrees that a Purchaser may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and who agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, such Purchaser may transfer pledged or secured Securities to the pledgees or secured parties.  Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith.  Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge.  At the appropriate Purchaser’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.


(c)

Certificates evidencing the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof), (i) following any sale of such Shares or Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144, (ii) if such Shares or Warrant Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares and Warrant Shares and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission).  If such Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 and the Company is then in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144, or if the Shares or Warrant Shares may be sold under Rule 144 without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to such Shares or Warrant Shares or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Warrant Shares shall be issued free of all legends. 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 a Purchaser to the Company or notice of the delivery by a purchaser to the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Shares or Warrant Shares, as the case may be, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Trading Day, the “ Legend Removal Date ”), together with any customary and reasonable documentation as the Company and/or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require, deliver or cause to be delivered to such 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 shall 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 such Purchaser.


(d)

Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, agrees with the Company that such 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 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.

Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights .  The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereof or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers.


5.18

Liquidated Damages .  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.


5.19

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

5.20

Construction . The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.


5.21

WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .   IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.


5.22

Effective Date and Payment of Subscription Amount .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date.  Any portion of a Purchaser’s Subscription Amount delivered by such Purchaser to the Company prior to the Closing Date shall be held in trust by the Company until the Closing hereunder.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT


IMPRIMIS PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.


Warrant Shares: _______  Initial Exercise Date:  April 30, 2012


THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “ Warrant ”) certifies that, for value received, _____________ or its assigns (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date hereof (the “ Initial Exercise Date ”) and on or prior to the close of business on the three year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “ Termination Date ”) but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from Imprimis Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), up to ______ shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “ Warrant Shares ”) of Common Stock.  The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).


Section 1.

Definitions .  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with an effective date of April 20, 2012, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.


Section 2.

Exercise .


a)

Exercise of Warrant .  Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice in writing to the registered Holder at the address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company) of a duly executed facsimile copy of the Notice of Exercise form annexed hereto.  Within three (3) Trading Days following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company.  Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases.  The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice.   The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.


b)

Exercise Price .  The exercise price per share of the Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $1.185 , subject to adjustment hereunder (the “ Exercise Price ”).


c)

[ Intentionally omitted ]





d)

Mechanics of Exercise .


i.

Delivery of Certificates Upon Exercise .  Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“ DWAC ”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and the shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is three (3) Trading Days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (B) surrender of this Warrant (if required), and (C) payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as set forth above (such date, the “ Warrant Share Delivery Date ”).   The Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have been issued, and Holder or any other person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date the Warrant has been exercised, with payment to the Company of the Exercise Price and all taxes required to be paid by the Holder, if any, pursuant to Section 2(d)(vi) prior to the issuance of such shares, having been paid.


ii.

Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise .  If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.


iii.

Rescission Rights .  If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.


iv.

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise .  In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to an exercise on or before the second trading day following the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker 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 the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “ Buy-In ”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder.  For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000.  The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss.  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 Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.


v.

No Fractional Shares or Scrip .  No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant.  As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company 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 Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.


vi.

Charges, Taxes and Expenses .  Only the initial iissuance of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such certificate, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such certificates shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided , however , that in the event certificates for Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.  All subsequent costs and expenses related to transfers or reissuances of certificates for Warrant Shares shall be paid by the Holder.



2




vii.

Closing of Books .  The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.


e)

Holder’s Exercise Limitations .  The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below).  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other  Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates.  Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith.   To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination and shall have no liability for exercises of this Warrant that are not in compliance with the Beneficial Ownership Limitation.   In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding.  In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported.  The “ Beneficial Ownership Limitation ” shall be 4.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.  The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply.  Any such increase or decrease will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.  The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation.  The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

f)

Mandatory Exercise .  The Company may require that the Holder exercise this Warrant in whole but not in part (the “ Mandatory Exercise ”) within twenty (20) Business Days after the date of the Mandatory Exercise Notice (as defined below) by delivering a written notice to the Holder (the “ Mandatory Exercise Notice ”); provided that (i) the VWAP for ten (10) consecutive Trading Days is equal to or greater than the Exercise Price, (ii) the Company has received a Filing Review Notification (commonly referred to as a 74 Day Letter ) from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regarding the status of the Company s Impracor topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug , and (iii) sufficient shares of Common Stock are authorized and reserved for issuance upon the full exercise of this Warrant.  The Mandatory Exercise Notice shall set forth the VWAP for each of the previous ten (10) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the Mandatory Exercise Notice and shall state that this Warrant be exercised in conformity with this Section 2(f) within twenty (20) Business Days.  Within ten (10) Business Day days of receipt of a Mandatory Exercise Notice, the Holder shall deliver a written notice to the Company (the “ Participation Notice ”), stating whether or not the Holder agrees to participate in such Mandatory Exercise.  If the Holder states in its Participation Notice that it elects not to participate in the Mandatory Exercise or if the Holder fails to deliver a Participation Notice within the time period specified in this Section 2(f), then (i) the Holder shall forfeit such Holder’s rights, title and interest under this Warrant, (ii) this Warrant shall be deemed terminated and (iii) the Holder shall deliver to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date of such Holder’s Participation Notice this Warrant marked “CANCELLED.”  If the Holder states in its Participation Notice that it elects to participate in the Mandatory Exercise and makes payment of the Exercise Price by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company or wire transfer to the account of the Company within ten (10) Business  Day days of receipt of a Mandatory Exercise Notice, then this Warrant shall be deemed to be exercised without any further action on the part of the Holder hereof pursuant to this Section 2(f) for all of the Warrant Shares that can be obtained pursuant to such exercise on the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the Mandatory Exercise Notice (the “ Automatic Mandatory Exercise Date ”).


Section 3.

Certain Adjustments .


a)

Stock Dividends and Splits .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(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, combination or re-classification.


b)

[Intentionally omitted]


c)

Subsequent Rights Offerings .  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time this Warrant is outstanding the Company grants or issues any rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (and not the Holder) (the “ Purchase Rights ”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent).



4




d)

Pro Rata Distributions .  If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Stock (and not to the Holder) evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including cash and cash dividends) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security other than the Common Stock, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then per share fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness or rights or warrants so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith.  In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holder of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Stock.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.


e)

Fundamental Transaction .  If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person and the Company is not the surviving corporation (but excluding a merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company), (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Stock, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company , directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (not including any shares of Common Stock held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company that the Holder would have received if the Holder had exercised immediately prior to the Fundamental Transaction, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “ Alternate Consideration ”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant).  For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price 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 Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration 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 Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.


f)

Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 3 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 3, 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 treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.


g)

Notice to Holder .


i.

Adjustment to Exercise Price .  Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment..



5




ii.

Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder .  If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock 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 Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be mailed to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, 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 mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously disclose such information in compliance with applicable securities laws.  The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.


Section 4.

Transfer of Warrant .


a)

Transferability .  Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer.  Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled.  The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.

d)

Transfer Restrictions .  If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.


e)

Representation by the Holder .  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.

Section 5.

Miscellaneous .


a)

No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise .  This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(d)(i).


b)

Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant .  The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.


c)

Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc .  If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.


d)

Authorized Shares .


(i)

The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant.  The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.  The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).


(ii)

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (A) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (B) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (C) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.


(iii)

Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.


e)

Jurisdiction .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


f)

Restrictions .  The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.



7




g)

Nonwaiver and Expenses .  No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date.  If the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.


h)

Notices .  Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.


i)

Limitation of Liability .  No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.


j)

Remedies .  The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant.  The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.


k)

Successors and Assigns .  Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder.  The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.


l)

Amendment .  This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.


m)

Severability .  Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.


n)

Headings .  The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

Exhibit 10.3


PROMISSORY NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT


THIS PROMISSORY NOTE CONVERSION AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”), is effective as of April 20, 2012, by and between Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “ Company ”) and DermaStar International, LLC (the “ DermaStar ”) (Individually, the Company and DermaStar may be referred to herein as a “ Party ,” and collectively as the “ Parties ”).  


RECITALS


WHEREAS, on or about November 21, 2011, the Company and DermaStar entered into a Secured Line of Credit Letter Agreement (the “ Line of Credit Agreement ”) and related Security Agreement (the “ Security Agreement ”) and an Intellectual Property Security Agreement (“ IP 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.


WHEREAS, the Line of Credit Agreement provides that DermaStar make advances to the Company of up to an aggregate of $750,000 under certain circumstances (the “ Line of Credit ”).  


WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, DermaStar had advanced the total maximum $750,000 pursuant to four separate promissory notes issued to the Comapny (the “ Promissory Notes ”), and the Company owed to DermaaStar an aggregate of $762,534.25 in principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Line of Credit (the “ Promissory Note Balance ”).  


WHEREAS, on April 20, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “ SPA ,”) relating to the sale and issuance of 10,058,455 units (each, a “ Unit ”) consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock (“ Common Stock ”) and a warrant in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (each, a “ Warrant ”) to purchase up to one-fourth of a share of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.185 per share, at a price per Unit of $0.79 (the “ Offering ”).  The Private Placement closed on April 25, 2012 (the “Closing Date”).  In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued an aggregate of 10,058,455 shares of Common Stock and Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,514,642 shares of Common Stock, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $7.95 million.  The Investors are not entitled to any registration rights with respect to the Common Stock and Warrants issued in the Private Placement.  


WHEREAS, the Parties desire to convert the entire outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Notes and all related accrued interest into Units at a rate of $0.79 per Unit (the “ Unit Price ”), consistent with the terms of the issuance of the Units in the Offering, effective upon the closing of the Offering


AGREEMENT


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter stated, it is agreed as follows:


1.

CONVERSION TERMS .    Pursuant to the terms of the Offering, DermaStar hereby agrees to convert the entire Promissory Note Balance of $762,534.25 into the Securities (the “ Conversion ”) at the Unit Price, effective as of the closing of the Offering (the “ Effective Date ”), resulting in the issuance of: (i) 965,233 shares of Common Stock; and (ii) Warrants to purchase a total of 241,308 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.185, such Warrants to be issued pursuant to the form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibit B , provided , that Section 2(e) of the Warrant shall be deleted and shall be replaced with the phrase “Intentionally Omitted”.  


2.

TERMINATION OF EXISTING AGREEMENTS .    Pursuant to the terms of the Conversion, as of the Effective Date, all existing rights, privileges and preferences provided under the Line of Credit Agreement, Security Agreement, Intellectual Property Security Agreement and Promissory Notes are hereby terminated in their entirety.  


3.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS .    DermaStar represents and warrants to the Company as follows:    


(a)

DermaStar acknowledges that it understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “ Act ”) or any applicable state securities law, that the Securities will include a restrictive legend to that effect, and, that accordingly, the Securities may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Act and in accordance with applicable state securities laws.





(b)

DermaStar has adequate means of providing for current needs and contingencies, has no need for liquidity in the Securities, and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities. DermaStar represents that it is able to bear the economic risk of the investment and at the present time could afford a complete loss of such investment in the Securities.


(c)

DermaStar is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act and has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that DermaStar is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and of making an informed investment decision with respect thereto and has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the issuance of the Securities.


(d)

DermaStar has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Act or any applicable state securities law, has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities solely for DermaStar’s own account as principal, for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof, in whole or in part.


(e)

DermaStar will not sell or otherwise transfer the Securities without registration under the Act or an exemption therefrom and fully understands and agrees that DermaStar must bear the economic risk for an indefinite period of time because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states or unless an exemption from such registration is available.


(f)

The terms and conditions under which the Securities were issued were directly communicated to DermaStar by the Company in such a manner that DermaStar was able to ask questions of and receive answers from concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction.  At no time was DermaStar presented with or solicited by or through any article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper or other leaflet, public promotional meeting, television, radio or other broadcast or transmittal advertisement or any other form of general advertising.


4.

Notices .  Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, faxed or otherwise delivered in person to the Parties at the their respective addresses of record.

Necessary Acts .  Each Party to this Agreement agrees to perform any further acts and execute and deliver any further documents that may be reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this Agreement.  


(d)

Waiver .  Any waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement.  The failure of a Party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver or deprive that Party of the right thereafter to insist upon adherence to that term of any other term of this Agreement.  


(e)

Severability .  If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the balance of this Agreement shall remain in effect.  If any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.  


(f)

Disputes .  Any dispute or other disagreement arising from or out of this Agreement shall be resolved in state court in California.  Any such disputes may only be resolved by a bench trial.  The interpretation and the enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by California Law as applied to residents of the State of California relating to contracts executed in and to be performed solely within the State of California.  (For additional terms related to Disputes, see Section (g) below).

Exhibit 10.4


Advisory Agreement


This advisory agreement (the “ Agreement ”) is made and entered into as of April 1, 2012 (the “ Effective Date ”), by and between (a) Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), and (b) Dr. Robert Kammer, an individual (the “ Consultant ”).  


A.

The Company desires to retain the services of the Consultant as an Advisor to the Company, reporting to the Board of Directors.  The Company is (i) pursuing the development of its topical drug delivery technologies, including its key drug candidate, a Ketoprofen-based drug, with the goal being FDA clearance and commercially availability of the same drug in the US marketplace; (ii) the commercial development of other topical drug delivery technologies and related chemicals that may be paired with the same delivery technologies; and (iii) new topical pharmaceutical product or product candidate licensing, development and commercialization opportunities (collectively, the “ Field of Interest ”).


B.

Consultant has reviewed information provided by the Company and other Company information which may be publicly available on the world-wide-web, and is familiar with the specific research efforts and business projects the Company is engaged in and is pursuing.  Consultant has an understanding of the technology the Company presently owns, as well as the pharmaceutical and other projects the Company is pursuing.  


C.

The Consultant is a sophisticated, experienced and successful scientist and businessperson, and is willing to be retained by the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.


THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS :


1.

Services .  


a.

The Consultant shall perform the services set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “ Services ”) and agrees to promptly respond to all reasonable requests related to the Services, made by the Company.  The Consultant shall comply with the statutes, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, applicable to the performance of the Services.  The Company and Consultant may amend Exhibit A , from time to time, to add additional Services to be provided by Consultant.  


b.

Consultant agrees to devote a minimum of fifty percent of his work time to performing the Services, equal to not less than 25 hours per week.  Consistent with this requirement, Consultant may represent, perform services for, or be employed by such additional persons or companies as Consultant sees fit, except to the extent doing so causes Consultant to breach Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement or creates a conflict of interest.


2.

Term of Services .  This Agreement is effective beginning on the Effective Date and shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the completion of the Services as provided in Exhibit A or (ii) the second year anniversary of the Effective Date, or until it is otherwise terminated by either the Company or by Consultant as provided below.


3.

Termination .  


a.

Either party may terminate this Agreement upon 60 days written notice to the other party.  With respect to the Consultant, death, incapacity, incarceration or any other condition or state of affairs which reasonably prevents or impedes performance of the Services shall automatically cause the termination of this Agreement.  If either party defaults in the performance of this Agreement or materially breaches any of its provisions, the nonbreaching party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notification to the breaching party.  Termination shall be effective immediately on receipt of the written notification by the breaching party, or five days after mailing of the notice to the address set forth in the notice provisions below, whichever occurs first.  Termination by one party shall automatically and forever eliminate the obligation of the non-Terminating party’s obligation to perform.  Upon termination of this Agreement, Consultant shall be entitled to payment for Services completed prior to the termination date and reimbursement for expenses incurred prior to the termination date.  Thereafter, the Company shall owe Consultant no further amounts or obligations.

b.

License .  To the extent, if any, that Consultant retains any right, title or interest in or to any Creations, Consultant hereby grants to the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicensable, exclusive, worldwide right and license (a) to use, reproduce, distribute, display and perform (whether publicly or otherwise), prepare derivative works of and otherwise modify, make, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise use and exploit (and have others exercise such rights on behalf of the Company) all or any portion of such Creations, in any form or media (now known or later developed); (b) to modify all or any portion of such Creations, including, without limitation, the making of additions to or deletions from such Creations, regardless of the medium (now or hereafter known) into which such Creations may be modified and regardless of the effect of such modifications on the integrity of such Creations; and (c) to identify Consultant, or not to identify Consultant, as one or more authors of or contributors to such Creations or any portion thereof, whether or not such Creations or any portion thereof have been modified.  Consultant further waives any “moral” rights or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of such Creations Consultant may have under any applicable law, whether under copyright, trademark, unfair competition, defamation, right of privacy, contract, tort or other legal theory.


6.

Direction of Projects and Creations to the Company .

Exhibit 99.1


PRESS RELEASE


IMPRIMIS PHARMACEUTICALS CLOSES $7.95M FINANCING AND PROVIDES PROGRESS REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Solana Beach, CA.  April 27, 2012 - Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC Markets: IMMY) announced that it has closed a $7.95M private placement of stock and warrants and is providing an update to shareholders and the market.


Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. CEO Mark L. Baum stated, “We are pleased to announce the closing of a $7.95M private placement.  The financing was completed at a price of $0.79 per unit and included one share of common stock and a 25% three year warrant, giving the investor the right, for three years, to buy additional Imprimis common shares at $1.185 per share.  Imprimis has the unilateral right to call for the mandatory exercise of the warrants with 90 days notice to the holders, upon notice from the FDA that our lead drug candidate – Impracor – has been approved for sale in the United States.  No brokerage or investment banking fees were paid related to the financing, so the net cash received by the company was approximately $7.95M.”


Baum added, “We believe that closing this common stock and warrant financing transaction is a strong sign that the recent changes at Imprimis have had a positive effect on our ability to secure the capital we need to drive value for our stakeholders.  We believe that the market opportunity for our technology and our lead drug candidate is significant, and this capital will certainly provide momentum for us to begin to execute on our clinical and other strategic initiatives.”    


Imprimis’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joachim Schupp commented, “Our science team has been hard at work as we transition towards the re-initiation of clinical studies for our lead drug – Impracor, a ketoprofen-based topical NSAID, as well as additional strategic initiatives which we hope to execute in the future.  We have been in communication with the FDA regarding our IND and our objective to file a 505(b)2 for Impracor following successful Phase 3 development.”


Baum continued, “Our mission is to be the leader in topical drug delivery solutions.  With the guidance of a team of experts, Imprimis has recently developed an intellectual property strategy that is being aggressively implemented.  Our patented platform technology, called Accudel, allows us to deliver medicines through the skin (topical drug delivery), and we intend to monetize this platform through a pipeline development program which will be guided by pharmaceutical and medical industry thought-leaders and a disciplined approach to development expenditures.  Our science team, including Dr. Joachim Schupp, Dr. Balbir Brar and Dr. Paul Finnegan, has provided our board of directors with tremendous support and we are confident that our clinical efforts are being guided by a pressure tested winning strategy, and are being executed by seasoned scientific leaders.  We look forward to moving these programs forward in the near term.”


“Imprimis’s balance sheet has been dramatically improved as in the past four months, as we have reduced our debt by approximately 86%.  Concurrent with the closing of this financing, our secured debtholder agreed to roll 100% of its secured debt into common stock on the same terms as this $7.95M financing.  Now, we are a company with a promising vision, a world class team to execute on this vision, and we have a financeable balance sheet.”


Baum concluded, “Looking towards the future, we have hired MDB Capital, LLC of Santa Monica, CA to represent Imprimis for our future investment banking needs.  In the coming months, we also intend to make an application to NASDAQ to list our common shares.  Much has been done and there is much more to be done.  We appreciate the patience of our shareholders, their commitment to our business and our team, and their interest in our shared vision to better people’s lives by providing choices to the traditional methods that medicines are delivered.”
