Dear Mr. Greico,

On December 12, 2007 (the "Transaction Date"), Malibu Pharma, Inc. ("Acquiree") entered into a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Auriga Laboratories, Inc. (the "Company") pursuant to which Acquiree acquired all right, title and interest in 100% of the issued and outstanding membership units (the "Units") of Stesso ("Stesso") in exchange for a promissory note from Acquiree in favor of the Company (the "Note") of even date therewith (the "Transaction"). It has come to the Acquiree's attention that the Company wishes to rescind the Transaction. Malibu is willing to rescind the Transaction by returning the Units to Auriga in exchange for a return to Malibu of the Note and the mutual covenants contained herein (the "Rescission").

Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in light of the recitals stated herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.           For the purposes of rescinding the Transaction and restoring the ownership of Stesso and the Units as such ownership existed and title was held prior to the Transaction Date, and in consideration for the return of the Note and the covenants provided herein. Acquiree hereby tenders the Units to the Company, and the Company hereby tenders the Note to the Acquiree. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the express intent of the parties hereto that the effect of the Rescission is to render the Transaction, the Purchase Agreement and the Note null, void and of no effect.

2.           Both the Company and the Acquiree agree that the effective date of the Rescission shall be December 12, 2007.

3.           The Company represents and warrants that as of the date hereof it is sole holder of the Note, it has not assigned the Note, it maintains all rights, preferences and privileges associated with the Note and that it has taken no action of any nature concerning the Note. The Acquiree represents and warrants that (i) as of the date hereof Stesso maintains the assets, rights, preferences and privileges that existed in Stesso on the date of the Transaction; (ii) other than filing FDA Form 2656 with the Food & Drug Administration ("FDA") notifying the FDA of the change of ownership and address of Stesso, Acquiree has taken no action of any nature concerning Stesso or its assets; (iii) between the Transaction Date and the date hereof, Acquiree has not caused Stesso to conduct any business; and (iv) to Acquiree's knowledge, between the Transaction Date and the date hereof, Stesso has not conducted any business.
