4.4. Procedures.

(a) In the event that HPPI proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give each of Mayne Pharma and HPLLC written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (“Notice”), describing the type of New Securities, whether the offering is private or public, and the price and the general terms upon which HPPI proposes to issue such New Securities.

(b) Each of Mayne Pharma and HPLLC shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of mailing of any such Notice (the “Applicable Period”) to agree in writing that Mayne Pharma and/or members of the Mayne Pharma Group or HPLLC and/or members of the HPLLC Group, as applicable, shall purchase all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Notice by giving written notice to HPPI and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased, and HPPI shall so sell such New Securities to the Mayne Pharma Group and to the HPLLC Group.

(c) With respect to the issuance of shares of New Securities for which either Mayne Pharma or HPLLC has not exercised its right pursuant to this Section 4.4 within the Applicable Period, HPPI shall have one hundred twenty (120) days after the Applicable Period to contract to sell such New Securities at a price and upon general terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the original Notice. Except with respect to the sale of additional New Securities to Mayne Pharma or HPLLC set forth in Section 4.4(d), if HPPI has not contracted to sell such New Securities within such one hundred twenty (120) day period, HPPI shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to Mayne Pharma and HPLLC pursuant to this Section 4.4.

 

14


(d) If the Mayne Pharma Group has exercised its right to purchase its full Pro Rata Share of New Securities, HPPI shall, within two (2) Business Days of the end of said one hundred twenty (120) day period, give Mayne Pharma written notice of the number of shares of New Securities for which subscriptions have not been received and accepted, or that the offering was fully subscribed.

The rights and obligations in Section 4.1 through Section 4.5 shall terminate upon the earlier to occur of: (a) with respect to the Mayne Pharma Group, the date that the Mayne Pharma Group collectively owns less than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a Fully Diluted basis; or (b) with respect to the HPLLC Group, the date that the HPLLC Group collectively owns less than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a Fully Diluted basis.

4.7. Restrictions on Virca. Virca agrees that with respect to any option, warrant, restricted stock unit or other right to acquire Equity Securities which he holds or may hereafter hold, (a) such option, warrant, restricted stock unit or other right shall not be transferrable by Virca, except upon his death or operation of law, and Virca shall not Transfer the same, and (b) Virca shall not become vested, either in whole or in part, in such option, warrant, restricted stock unit or other right to acquire Equity Securities until the earlier to occur of (i) September 3, 2016, (ii) the receipt of written notice of acceptance for the filing of a new drug application by HPPI for the Product in the Field by the Relevant Regulatory Authority, or (iii) to the extent provided in the applicable award agreement, upon his death or disability.

15


(b) For so long as either HPLLC or Mayne Pharma owns more than forty percent (40%) of the outstanding Common Stock on a Fully Diluted basis, without the approval of either, or both as the case may be, Mayne Pharma and HPLLC (which approval in either case may be withheld or delayed in the sole discretion of Mayne Pharma and HPLLC, respectively), HPPI shall not: (i) increase the number of shares authorized under the EIP beyond the Initial EIP, (ii) amend, modify or supplement the terms and conditions of the EIP or the Initial EIP, (iii) approve, adopt or authorize any Stock Grant Plan, or (iv) issue, grant or award any securities or Equity Securities pursuant to the Initial EIP and the EIP which, when taken together with any other securities or Equity Securities issued, granted or awarded pursuant to the Initial EIP and the EIP after the Effective Date, would result in (including, without limitation, upon the full exercise of any such securities) the issuance, grant or award of more than Five Million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock in the aggregate.

(c) Each of HPPI, HPLLC, FEO, Virca and Mayne Pharma agrees that all awards that are included in the Initial EIP (including those awarded to Virca) are subject to a restriction on exercise or Transfer until the earlier occur of (i) September 3, 2016, or (ii) the receipt of written notice of acceptance for the filing of a new drug application by HPPI for the Product in the Field by the Relevant Regulatory Authority.

16

HPLLC, and any transferee thereof permitted hereunder, agree (and shall cause any Affiliate) to vote any shares of Equity Securities it may own from time to time to elect the replacement Mayne Pharma Director so nominated, or to sign and return to Mayne Pharma such written consent (within five (5) days of receipt thereof), as the case may be.

17


vacancy on the Board shall be filled by the Board pursuant to the Bylaws, and each of Mayne Pharma and HPLLC agrees to vote its Equity Securities in favor of the election of any such replacement Director at any subsequent meeting of the stockholders until this clause (i) is no longer in effect or until such replacement Director is no longer serving on the Board, whichever occurs first; and (ii) if either Mayne Pharma or HPLLC owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the Common Stock, such party agrees that it will vote for and maintain a Board controlled by Independent Directors.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, if either Mayne Pharma or HPLLC owns more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock, then (i) such party may, in its sole discretion but acting in accordance with Section 5.5(f) hereof, remove and replace any Director, including Chairman of the Board, provided that such party maintains a Board controlled by Independent Directors pursuant to Section 5.5(a) of this Agreement and (ii) Section 5.4 of this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect. Mayne Pharma agrees that while this Agreement is in effect, it shall not act in concert as part of a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with any other Person or Persons to own or control more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Common Stock.

(c) If HPPI does not satisfy the Performance Goal, then for One Hundred Fifty (150) days after the Performance Goal Date, (i) Mayne Pharma shall have the right to appoint a majority of the Directors in its sole discretion (subject to the proviso below in this Section 5.5(c)), and the parties hereto agree to vote any shares of Equity Securities they may own in favor of (x) the removal of any current Directors determined by Mayne Pharma in its sole discretion and/or (y) the election of any replacement Directors nominated or designated by Mayne Pharma, in carrying out Mayne Pharma’s rights under this Section 5.5(c), and (ii) Section 5.4 of this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect; provided that, unless or until the Independent Board Requirement has automatically terminated as provided in Section 5.5(d) of this Agreement, any exercise of Mayne Pharma’s rights under this Section 5.5(c) shall be subject to the Independent Board Requirement.

(d) If, at any time this Agreement is in effect (subject to the proviso below in this Section 5.5(d)), there is a material breach of a Transaction Document by any party other than Mayne Pharma, and such party fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from Mayne Pharma of such breach, then (i) the Independent Board Requirement shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect, and the parties hereto shall no longer be required to maintain a Board consisting of a majority of Independent Directors, (ii) Mayne Pharma shall have the right to freely vote its Equity Securities in its discretion (in the removal, replacement and election of Directors or otherwise), subject to the terms of HPPI’s certificate of incorporation and Bylaws, each as amended and/or restated at the applicable time, and applicable laws, rules and regulations, and (iii) Section 5.4 of this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (x) the failure by HPPI to achieve the Performance Goal shall not be deemed a “material breach” of a Transaction Document for purposes of this Section 5.5(d) and (y) this Section 5.5(d) shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further and effect (A) following the election or appointment of a New Board or (B) upon the date that Mayne Pharma no longer holds at least forty percent (40%) of the outstanding Common Stock.

(f) If either Mayne Pharma or HPLLC exercises its right to remove or replace any Director pursuant to Section 5.5(b) hereof (such party so exercising such right shall be referred to herein as the “Exercising Party”), the Exercising Party, acting alone in its sole discretion, shall have the right, upon its execution of a written consent of the stockholders of HPPI, to (i) remove any current Director determined by the Exercising Party in its sole discretion and/or (ii) to elect any replacement Director nominated or designated by the Exercising Party, in its sole discretion, for filling any vacancy on the Board or otherwise. The Exercising Party shall deliver any such written consent to HPPI as soon as practicable after the execution or effectiveness of such written consent. Alternatively, the Exercising Party shall have the right, upon its written request to HPPI, to call (or require the calling of) a special meeting of the Stockholders for the purpose or purposes of considering and voting on (x) the removal of any such current Director determined by the Exercising Party in its sole discretion and/or (y) the election of any such replacement Director nominated or designated by the Exercising Party, in its sole discretion, for filling any vacancy on the Board or otherwise. HPPI agrees to take all actions necessary for the calling of any such special meeting of the Stockholders as soon as practicable after its receipt of such written request from the Exercising Party, and in any event in accordance with any time limitations set forth in the Bylaws. At any such special meeting of the Stockholders called pursuant to this Section 5.5(f), the Exercising Party, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to designate or appoint the chairman of such special meeting.

HPLLC hereby revokes all other proxies and powers of attorney with respect to its Equity Securities that may have heretofore been appointed or granted, and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or granted (and if given or granted, shall not be effective) with respect to its Equity Securities prior to the termination of this Agreement.

(i) The parties agree that if any Director (other than FEO) is removed from such position by reason of any provision of this Section 5.5, any Equity Securities previously issued to such Director under a Stock Grant Plan which are subject to vesting shall continue to vest following such Director’s removal, and any such vested grants shall remain outstanding until exercised, terminated, sold, transferred and/or disposed of pursuant to their respective terms.

5.6. Legend. From and after the Original Effective Date, all certificates or other instruments representing Equity Securities held by any party hereto shall bear a legend which shall state:

“The securities represented by this certificate are subject to that certain Equity Holders Agreement, dated as of June 24, 2014, as the same may be amended from time to time, pursuant to the terms of which the transfer of such securities is restricted. Such Equity Holders Agreement also provides for various other limitations and obligations, and all of the terms thereof are incorporated by reference herein. A copy of such Equity Holders Agreement has been filed in the registered office of the company where the same may be inspected daily during business hours by any stockholder of record of the company.”

5.7. Fundamental Transactions. Before the Board holds any vote, or submits any decision for approval or consent, regarding a Fundamental Transaction (including any Fundamental Transaction involving HPLLC, Mayne Pharma and/or their respective Affiliates), the Board must engage a reputable, qualified financial advisor, the identity of which shall be agreed upon by the Board, to render an opinion to the Board before such vote or decision as to whether such Fundamental Transaction is fair, reasonable and in the best interests of the Stockholders.

ARTICLE VI.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

6.1. Mayne Pharma Right of First Refusal. If either FEO or Virca or any transferees of FEO or Virca permitted under Section 6.2 (each, a “Selling Stockholder”) desires to Transfer any of the Common Stock held personally of record by him or it, as the case may be, to any Person, he or it shall first make an offer to sell all of such shares that he or it desires to Transfer (but not less than all of such shares) to Mayne Pharma for the purchase price per share and on the terms hereinafter set forth. Such offer shall be in writing and shall specify the nature of the Transfer in which the Selling Stockholder desires to engage, including the name or names of the other party or parties to such proposed transaction and the terms thereof, including the purchase price and payment terms, if any, and shall have attached a written copy of the proposed offer to or from the other party or parties to the proposed transaction. Mayne Pharma may irrevocably accept the offer as to all, but not less than all, of the shares, in writing within twenty (20) days after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to any Common Stock that is an FEO Indirect Share as long as such Common Stock is an FEO Indirect Share.

6.2. Permitted Transfers. The rights granted to Mayne Pharma pursuant to Section 6.1 shall not apply to (a) Transfers as a bona fide gift or gifts for tax or estate planning purposes to the spouse, siblings, parents, children or grandchildren of FEO or Virca, or any trust of which any of the foregoing are beneficiaries (provided that any donee thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), (b) Transfers pursuant to a valid divorce decree or by will or intestate succession upon death (provided that any recipient thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement), or (c) Transfers to FEO or Virca pursuant to the exercise of, or vesting in, any stock option, warrant, restricted stock unit, or other right issued pursuant to the EIP or other stock option or incentive plan of HPPI, provided that the Common Stock received upon such exercise or vesting shall remain subject to the rights of Mayne Pharma provided for in this Agreement.

 

21


6.3. Purchase by Mayne Pharma. If a Selling Stockholder offers to sell his Common Stock to Mayne Pharma pursuant to Section 6.1 above, then each party hereto agrees to vote its shares of Common Stock, including with respect to the Selling Stockholder, the shares that are offered for sale by the Selling Stockholder, at any meeting of the Stockholders in order to approve any corporate action that may be required to be taken by HPPI or its officers or Directors in order to enable Mayne Pharma to purchase any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder.

6.4. Purchase Price and Terms. The purchase price and terms of payment set forth in any offer by a Selling Stockholder under Section 6.1 shall be identical to any offer given or received by such Selling Stockholder to or from a proposed third-party purchaser, except that if the consideration to be paid the Selling Stockholder by such proposed third-party purchaser consists in whole or in part of property (rather than cash), the purchaser(s) hereunder may transfer cash or other property of similar kind and equivalent value to the Selling Stockholder in payment for his shares of Common Stock. If a Selling Stockholder desires to pledge, give or otherwise encumber his shares of Common Stock, or make such other Transfer where the consideration for such Transfer is other than cash, then the purchase price for each share of Common Stock sold to Mayne Pharma pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement shall be equal to the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQB Marketplace or any exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded for the twenty (20) day trading period ending on the trading date immediately prior to the date of acceptance by Mayne Pharma of the offer set forth in Section 6.1 (the “Price Per Share”). The terms of payment of any purchase price determined by reference to the Price Per Share shall be payable twenty-five percent (25%) at the Closing (as defined herein), and then the balance in twelve (12) quarterly installments of equal principal amounts plus accrued interest at a rate of the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) beginning on the first (1st) day of the calendar quarter immediating following the Closing; provided, however, that Mayne Pharma may, at its sole discretion, prepay any or all amounts due under such payment without penalty therefor.

6.5. Acceptance of Offers. Any offer made pursuant to Section 6.1 may be accepted by Mayne Pharma within the time provided for acceptance of such offer by Mayne Pharma giving written notice of its irrevocable acceptance to the Person making the offer. An offer shall be deemed to be rejected unless written notice of acceptance of the offer has been received by the Person making the offer prior to the expiration of the time for acceptance set forth in Section 6.1 hereof.

6.6. Closing of Purchase. If any of the shares of Common Stock included in the offers made by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement are accepted for purchase, then such shares shall be sold by the Selling Stockholder to Mayne Pharma, accepting such offers. The closing of the purchase shall take place at the principal office of HPPI or at such other place as the parties may agree, not more than thirty (30) days after the date of the notice of the acceptance of an offer made pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof (the “Closing”). The purchase price for all shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof shall be paid in accordance with the terms of payment determined as set forth in Section 6.4 above. The Selling Stockholder shall represent and warrant to the purchasers that he is conveying to them such shares, with full warranties of title, free and clear of any claims, options, charges, encumbrances or rights of others, except as may be created by this Agreement.

 

22


6.7. Release from Restriction. If Mayne Pharma rejects the offer, fails to accept the offer in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, or elects to purchase some but not all of the shares of Common Stock offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to Section 6.1, then for a period of ninety (90) days after said thirty (30) day period, the shares of Common Stock subject to the offer which are not elected for purchase by Mayne Pharma and are desired to be Transferred by the Selling Stockholder may be Transferred only to such described party or parties and on the terms and conditions therein described, but on no more favorable terms, all as described in the offer pursuant to Section 6.1. After said ninety (90) day period, such shares shall remain subject to all terms and conditions of this Article VI. Any third party or parties purchasing shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall be required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement. If a Selling Stockholder shall fail to complete such proposed Transfer within ninety (90) days following the expiration of the time provided in this Agreement for acceptance of the final offer made pursuant to Section 6.1 above, then such shares of Common Stock shall again be subject to all of the restrictions set forth in Section 6.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement.

The parties agree that HPPI shall satisfy the Performance Goal; provided, however, that satisfying the Performance Goal shall be subject to the terms and conditions provided herein and that HPPI shall grant to Mayne Pharma and HPLLC equivalent registration rights if any such registration rights are granted in connection with the satisfaction of the Performance Goal.

(b) Each of HPLLC and FEO acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Performance Goal is fair, reasonable and attainable and (ii) the remedies to which each is subject, whether in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Document, for the failure by HPPI to satisfy the Performance Goal are fair and reasonable.

7.2. Surrender of Options; Sale and Forfeiture of Equity Securities; Purchase Right of Equity Securities. If HPPI fails to satisfy the Performance Goal:

(a) FEO agrees that he shall forfeit all then unvested options, warrants, restricted stock units, or other right to acquire Equity Securities held personally of record. Furthermore, Mayne Pharma shall have the right to purchase by written notice to FEO, delivered within sixty (60) days after such failure, all Equity Securities, vested options, vested warrants, vested restricted stock units and the like held personally of record by FEO or otherwise Transferred by him, at the fair market value as of the date of such resignation or termination. The fair market value of any issued and outstanding Equity Securities held by FEO shall be determined by the Price Per Share, and the fair market value of any vested option or warrant shall equal to (i) the aggregate value of all Equity Securities determined by the Price Per Share which may be purchased pursuant to such option or warrant, less (ii) the aggregate exercise price

 

23


to purchase such Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Common Stock (including any Common Stock held by HPLLC) that is a FEO Indirect Share shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2(a) as long as such Common Stock or is a FEO Indirect Share; and

(b) Mayne Pharma shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to cause HPPI, as full liquidated damages, to declare by written notice to HPLLC and to Mayne Pharma that some or all of the HPLLC At Risk Shares shall be forfeited by HPLLC to HPPI (“Default Notice”). If HPPI makes such election, it shall have waived and released any and all claims it may have for any damages it may have suffered as a result of HPPI failing to satisfy the Performance Goal. HPLLC agrees that upon receipt of such Default Notice electing forfeiture, it shall, without payment or additional consideration, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Default Notice deliver to HPPI any and all stock certificates in its possession or control evidencing any of the HPLLC At Risk Shares duly endorsed for Transfer back to HPPI or accompanied by an executed stock power for Transfer back to HPPI. Such HPLLC At Risk Shares shall be Transferred back to HPPI free and clear of all Liens or claims of any nature. HPLLC further agrees upon HPPI delivering such Default Notice, HPPI shall be entitled to Transfer, and HPLLC hereby directs HPPI to Transfer, on its stock ledger back to HPPI any and all HPLLC At Risk Shares. Any of the HPLLC At Risk Shares forfeited to HPPI under this Section 7.2(b) shall be cancelled on the books and records of HPPI. Any election and decision made by HPPI pursuant to this Section 7.2(b) shall be made by the majority approval of the disinterested Directors; provided, however, for purposes of this Section 7.2(b), FEO shall be deemed to be an interested Director. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 7.2(b), the provisions of this Section 7.2(b) shall automatically terminate and be null and void and of no further force and effect if prior to the achievement of the Performance Goal, Mayne Pharma has demanded FEO’s resignation as Chairman of the Board, and if FEO has in fact tendered his resignation, in each case as provided by Section 5.5(e) hereof.

(c) If FEO or HPLLC, as the case may be, fails to deliver to HPPI or Mayne Pharma, as the case may be, the certificates or other instruments described in this Section 7.2, the officers of HPPI, or any of them, are each hereby appointed as attorney-in-fact for FEO or HPLLC, as the case may be, for the purpose of complying with this Section 7.2, including Transferring any Equity Securities, and delivering any of the aforesaid certificates or other instruments to HPPI or Mayne Pharma, as the case may be, whereupon FEO’s rights with respect to the Equity Securities shall cease. Such officers shall incur no liability for such actions described in this Section 7.2(c). This appointment of the officers as attorney-in-fact is coupled with an interest and such appointment is irrevocable.

(d) HPPI hereby grants Mayne Pharma the following purchase right (the “Purchase Right”) to purchase all or any part of the Purchase Right Shares at the Exercise Price (as defined below) per share and during the Purchase Right Term (as defined below).

(i) The “Purchase Right Term” shall be the period beginning on the date HPPI gives the Default Notice and continuing until the sixtieth (60th) day after such date. This Purchase Right may be exercised regardless of whether HPLLC honors its obligation to convey the HPLLC At Risk Shares back to HPPI as set forth in Section 7.2(b) above. If HPLLC does not honor its obligation to convey the HPLLC At Risk

 

24


Shares back to HPPI, Mayne Pharma shall nevertheless have the right to purchase, and this Purchase Right shall be for, the Purchase Right Shares predicated upon the HPLLC At Risk Shares which HPLLC should have conveyed back to HPPI, and each of HPPI and Mayne Pharma shall have the right to seek specific performance to require HPLLC to convey the HPLLC At Risk Shares back to HPPI.

(ii) The “Exercise Price” per share of Common Stock shall be equal to the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported on the OTC Bulletin Board, OTCQB Marketplace or any exchange on which the Common Stock is then traded for the twenty (20) day trading period ending on the trading date immediately prior to the date that Mayne Pharma gives the Notice of Exercise (as defined below).

(iii) This Purchase Right may be exercised by Mayne Pharma at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Right Term, in whole or in part, by delivering written notice of exercise (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly executed by Mayne Pharma to HPPI at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the order of HPPI and to an account designated by HPPI, of the amount obtained by multiplying the number of shares designated in the Notice of Exercise by the Exercise Price. For purposes hereof, “Exercise Date” shall mean the date on which all deliveries required to be made to HPPI upon exercise of this Purchase Right pursuant to this Section 7.2(d)(iii) shall have been made.

(iv) As soon as practicable (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) after the valid exercise of this Purchase Right, in whole or in part, in accordance with clause (iii) immediately above, HPPI, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to Mayne Pharma a certificate or certificates (which shall contain appropriate restrictive legends) for the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares to which Mayne Pharma shall be entitled upon such exercise. Mayne Pharma shall for all purposes hereof be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares on the Exercise Date irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates.

(v) The issuance of the shares upon the exercise of this Purchase Right, and the delivery of certificates or other instruments representing such shares, shall be made without charge to Mayne Pharma for any tax or other charge of whatever nature in respect of such issuance and HPPI shall bear any such taxes in respect of such issuance.

7.3. Mayne Pharma Remedy on Default. Mayne Pharma shall have the right to terminate the Supply and License Agreement without damages, penalty, or any liability whatsoever to any party hereto within five (5) Business Days after written notice to HPPI or FEO, respectively, if there has not been full compliance by either party with the applicable provisions of Section 7.2. Mayne Pharma’s rights under this Section 7.3 are in addition to all other rights and remedies available under any agreement, at law or in equity. Mayne Pharma and HPPI agree that the Supply and License Agreement shall be deemed amended to add the provision of this Section 7.3.

 

25


7.4. Mayne Pharma Exercise of Rights; Covenant Not to Sue. The parties hereto agree that Mayne Pharma may decide in its sole discretion whether and when to exercise any of its rights under this Article VII and that it may exercise such rights for any reason. In consideration of the benefits conferred upon them in connection with this Agreement, HPPI, HPLLC and FEO each covenant and agree that he or it will not sue or otherwise assert any claim against Mayne Pharma or any of its Affiliates as result of Mayne Pharma’s exercise of its rights under this Article VII or for any act or omission leading up to, causing, or contributing to the failure to satisfy the Performance Goal, other than acts or omissions constituting fraud or other willful misconduct.

7.5. No Restrictions. No Transfer under this Article VII shall be subject to the provisions of Article II, Article III (except that any Transfer under Section 7.2(b) shall be subject to Article III), Article IV, Article V or Article VI.

ARTICLE VIII.

TERMINATION

8.1. General. In addition to the specific provisions of this Agreement that terminate at such time as Mayne Pharma Group collectively owns less than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a Fully Diluted basis, this Agreement generally shall terminate:

(a) If HPPI is adjudicated bankrupt, HPPI executes an assignment for benefit of creditors, a receiver is appointed for HPPI or HPPI is voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved; or

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and mailed, faxed or delivered to each applicable party at the addresses set forth on Exhibit A hereto or at such other address as to which such party may inform the other parties in writing in compliance with the terms of this Section 10.1.

10.2. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of a provision contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement; but this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of a provision, had never been contained herein, and such provisions or part reformed so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.

10.3. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any Dispute, then each of the parties hereto agrees to settle all Disputes by arbitration before a single arbitrator in Atlanta, Georgia, selected by, and such arbitration to be administered by, the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

27

28


consent of HPPI. No waiver by any party shall be effective unless in writing and no such waiver shall extend to or affect any other obligation not expressly waived. No failure or delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

10.6. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs and legatees.
