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).

SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, Transdel Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of DermaStar International, LLC (“Lender”), on November 21, 2012, the principal amount of [___________] Dollars ($[______]), and to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of at the interest rate, and payable on the dates, set forth in the letter agreement dated as of November [__], 2011 (the “Agreement”) between Borrower and Lender.  Capitalized but undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the 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.

A-1

So long as any amount payable by Borrower hereunder shall remain unpaid: (i) Borrower shall furnish to Lender from time to time such information respecting Borrower’s financial condition as Lender may from time to time reasonably request; (ii) Borrower shall maintain its legal existence, licenses and privileges in good standing under and in compliance with all applicable laws and continue to operate the business currently conducted by Borrower; (iii) Borrower shall not (A) enter into any consolidation, merger, or other combination, (B) become a partner in a partnership, a member of a joint venture, or a member of a limited liability company, or (C) sell, license, transfer or otherwise dispose of any interest in any of Borrower’s assets, except for sales of inventory in the ordinary course of business, licenses or sublicenses of rights in intellectual property on a non-exclusive or other limited basis in the ordinary course of business and sales of obsolete equipment; (iv) Borrower shall not acquire or commit or agree to acquire all or any stock, securities or assets of any other Person (as defined in the Agreement) other than inventory and equipment acquired in the ordinary course of business; (v) Borrower shall not declare or pay any dividends or make any distribution on any of its capital stock or other ownership interests, and also shall not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any of its capital stock or other ownership interests; (vi) Borrower shall not create or suffer to exist any lien or security interest on any of its assets except as permitted under the Collateral Documents; (vii) Borrower shall not incur any indebtedness other than Permitted Debt (as defined below); (viii) Borrower shall not prepay, redeem, purchase, defease or otherwise satisfy in any manner prior to the scheduled repayment thereof any Permitted Debt, or amend, modify or otherwise change the terms of any Permitted Debt so as to accelerate the scheduled repayment thereof; (ix) Borrower shall not make any loans or other extensions of credit to, or guaranty the obligations of, or invest in, any other Person; (x) Borrower shall not incorporate, create, acquire or suffer to exist any subsidiaries; and (xi) Borrower shall not enter into or engage in any business other than that carried on (or contemplated to be carried on) as of the date hereof.  (As used herein, “Permitted Debt” means the indebtedness owing to Pavel Ladonnikov existing as of the date hereof, the Loan, unsecured liabilities to trade creditors (not the result of the borrowing of money) incurred in connection with the acquisition of goods, supplies, or merchandise on normal trade credit in the ordinary course of business, other current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and not incurred through the borrowing of money, lease obligations incurred in the ordinary course of business, and obligations in respect of taxes or other governmental charges which are not yet due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.)

(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);

(11)

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.

No failure or delay by Lender in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.  The rights and remedies of Lender provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.  

If any provision of this Note shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the remaining provisions hereof.  

No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Note, nor any consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

In the event of any such assignment the assignee shall be deemed the “Lender” for all purposes of this Note and any other documents and instruments relating hereto with respect to the rights and obligations assigned to it.  Borrower agrees that in connection with any such grant or assignment, Lender may deliver to the prospective participant or assignee financial statements and other relevant information relating to Borrower.

Time is of the essence for the performance of each and every obligation under this Note.

As provided in the Agreement, Borrower shall pay on demand all costs and expenses of Lender, and fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, incurred in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of this Note.
