as of
the Closing Date, each of the following representations and warranties
shall be
true and correct in all material respects:
3.1 Due
Authorization; Organizational Documents.
(a) Borrower
(i) is a corporation duly formed, validly existing, in good standing and
qualified to do business under the laws of the State of Utah, and is duly
qualified and in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character
of
its business makes such qualification necessary, or, if not so qualified,
the
failure to so qualify will not have a materially adverse effect upon its
financial condition, operation
or business (a “Material
Adverse Effect”);
(ii)
Borrower has the requisite corporate power and authority to own its properties
and to carry on its businesses as now conducted; and (iii) Borrower has
the
requisite corporate power and authority to make and carry out this Loan
Agreement, and each of the Loan Documents.
(b) True,
correct and complete copies of the organizational documents of Borrower,
including any and all amendments thereto, have been delivered by Borrower
to
Lender.
3.2 Loan
Agreement, Note and Loan Documents Authorized.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower,
are duly
authorized and do not require the consent or approval of any governmental
body
or other regulatory authority; are not in contravention of or conflict
with any
law or regulation or any term or provision of its organizational documents;
and
the Loan Documents are valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable
in
accordance with their terms.
3.3 Collateral.
(a) Borrower
is the sole owner of its rights in the Collateral, free and clear of any
liens
and is fully authorized to grant the Security Interest in and to pledge
the
Collateral. There is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority,
agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement
or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing covering or affecting
any of
the Collateral. So long as this Loan Agreement and Note shall be in effect,
Borrower shall not execute and shall not authorize the filing of in any
such
office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument
(except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of Lender pursuant to
the terms
of this Loan Agreement) without the prior written consent of
Lender.
(b) Borrower
represents and warrants that it has no place of business or offices where
its
respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily
at the
offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where the Collateral
is
stored or located, other than at its offices at (i) 1388 South Foothill
Drive,
#266 Salt Lake City, Utah 84108 and (ii) 30103 West Gwinn Road Prosser,
Washington 99350.
(c) Borrower
shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to
the
Collateral at its principal place of business in Utah and may not relocate
such
books of account and records unless it delivers to Lender at least 30 days
prior
to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location
thereof (which must be within the United States) and (ii) evidence that
appropriate financing statements and other necessary documents have been
filed
and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interest
to
create in favor of each of Lender a valid, perfected and continuing first
priority lien in the Collateral.
(d) Borrower
has no knowledge of any claim that any of the Collateral or Borrower’s use of
any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no
adverse
decision of which Borrower is aware as to Borrower’s exclusive (or nonexclusive,
as the case may be) rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction, and,
to
the knowledge of Borrower there is no proceeding involving said rights
pending
or threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory
agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) This
Loan
Agreement creates in favor of the Lender a valid security interest in the
Collateral, securing the payment and satisfaction of the Obligations (as
defined
in Section 6), and, upon making all applicable filings,
a
perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral. No
authorization or approval of or filing (other than the filings referred
to in
the immediately preceding sentence) with or notice to any governmental
authority
or regulatory body is required either: (i) for the grant by Borrower of,
or the
effectiveness of, the Security Interest granted hereby or for the execution,
delivery and performance of this Loan Agreement by Borrower or (ii) for
the
perfection of or exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies
hereunder.
(f) On
the
date of execution of this Loan Agreement, Borrower authorizes each Lender
to
file one or more financing statements under the UCC with respect to the
Security
Interest for filing in the States of Utah, Washington and Texas, and in
such
other jurisdictions as Lender deem necessary.
(g) Borrower
shall at all times maintain the Security Interest provided for hereunder
as a
valid and perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral
in favor
of Lender and insure that such Security Interest remains senior to all
existing
and hereafter created security interests and liens. Borrower shall safeguard
and
protect all Collateral. Borrower hereby agrees to defend the same against
any
and all persons.
(h) Borrower
will not
sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral without
the
prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender
here
authorize Borrower to complete the sale of its rights to that certain topical
aromatase inhibitor cream that is has agreed to sell Eucodis Pharmaceuticals
Forschungs - und Entwicklungs GmbH, an Austrian company, pursuant to the
July 6,
2007 Sale and Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Eucodis
Sale”).
(i) Borrower
shall keep and preserve the tangible Collateral in good condition, repair
and
order, and shall not knowingly operate or locate any such Collateral (or
cause
to be operated or located) in any area excluded from insurance coverage
unless,
in each case, where the failure to comply with the foregoing provisions
does not
result in an adverse
effect on the value of the Collateral or on Lender’s security interest
therein.
(j) Borrower
shall, within 10 days of obtaining knowledge thereof, advise Lender, in
sufficient detail, of any substantial change in all or any material portion
of
the Collateral, and of the occurrence of any event which would have a material
adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or on Lender’s security interest
therein.
(k) Borrower
shall permit Lender and its representatives and agents upon prior written
consent to inspect the Collateral at any time during normal business hours,
and
to make copies of records pertaining to any material item of Collateral
as may
be reasonably requested by Lender from time to time.
(l) Borrower
shall promptly notify Lender in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of
any
attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against
any
Collateral and of any other information received by Borrower that reasonably
would be expected to have an adverse effect on the value of the Collateral,
the
Security Interest or the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder.
(m) Borrower
shall not use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in violation
of
any provision of this Agreement or
any
applicable statute, regulation or ordinance or any policy of insurance
covering
the Collateral where violation is reasonably likely to have a material
adverse
effect on Lender’s rights in the Collateral or Lender’s ability to foreclose on
the Collateral.
(n) Borrower
shall not grant to any person or entity any rights or interest in or to
any of
the Collateral.
3.4 Change
in Name.
Borrower shall notify Lender of any change in Borrower’s name or identity within
30 days of such change.
3.5 No
Conflict.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents will not breach
or
constitute a default under any agreement, indenture, undertaking or other
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or any of its properties
may be bound or affected, and, other than in favor of Lender, such execution,
delivery and performance will not result in the creation or imposition of (or
the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on,
or
security interest in, any of its properties pursuant to any of the
foregoing.
3.6 No
Litigation.
Except
as
disclosed to Lender in writing, there is no litigation or other proceedings
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or
affecting it, or its properties or the Collateral and
Borrower is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction,
decree
or demand of any court or other governmental or regulatory
authority.
3.7 Consents.
Except
for the filing of the UCC-1 Financing Statements, no consents, approvals,
filings, permits or notices of, from,
with or to any person or entity are required on the part of Borrower in
connection with the execution
of this Loan Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby that
have
not been duly obtained, made or given, as the case may be.
3.8 Solvency.
None of
the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document will
be or
have been made with an actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any present
or
future creditors of Borrower. After giving effect to the transactions
contemplated hereby and by each of the Loan Documents, Borrower will not
be
left with an unreasonably small capital for the business or transactions
in
which it is engaged or about to be engaged.
3.9 No
Bankruptcy Filing.
Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under
any
state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all
or a
major portion of its assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge
of any
person or entity contemplating the filing of any such petition against
it.
3.10 Tax
Filing.
Borrower has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal,
state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower, if
any.

and losses of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to
reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other
applicable tax authority upon audit.
3.11 Defenses.
The
Loan Documents are not subject to any valid right of rescission, setoff,
abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense as against the Lender and
its
successors and assigns in interest, including the defense of usury, and
the
operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of
any
right thereunder, will not render
the Loan unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, setoff, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and Borrower has not taken any action which would
give
rise to the assertion of any of the foregoing and no such right of rescission,
setoff, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense
of
usury, has been asserted with respect thereto.
3.12 Enforceability.
The
Loan Documents executed by Borrower have been duly and validly authorized,
executed and delivered by Borrower, and are valid, legal,
binding and enforceable obligations of Borrower, subject as to enforcement
to
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws of general application affecting
the enforcement of creditor's rights and to general principles of equity
limiting the availability of equitable remedies, to the extent the effect
of
such laws and principles are not waivable under law or in equity.

6.1 Duty
To Hold In Trust.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, Borrower
shall, upon receipt by it of any revenue, income or other sums subject
to the
Security Interest, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other
instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same
in trust
for Lender and shall upon request by Lender forthwith endorse and transfer
any
such sums or instruments, or both, to Lender for application to the satisfaction
of the Obligations.
6.2 Rights
and Remedies Upon Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to exercise all of
the
remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and Lender shall have
all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation,
Lender
shall have the following rights and powers upon and during the continuance
of an
Event of Default:
(a) Lender
shall have the right to take possession of all tangible manifestations
or
embodiments of the Collateral and, for that purpose, without breaching
the peace
enter, with the aid and assistance of any person previously identified
to, and
approved in writing by, Borrower, any premises where the Collateral, or
any part
thereof, is placed and remove the same, and Borrower shall assemble the
Collateral and make it available to Lender at Borrower’s premises.
(b) Lender
shall have the right to assign, sell, or otherwise dispose of and deliver
all or
any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either
with
or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit (for
United
States Dollars or such other currency as it may choose) or for future delivery,
in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or
places,
and upon such terms and conditions as Lender may deem commercially reasonable,
all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be
waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to Borrower or right of
redemption of Borrower, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such
sale,
assignment or other transfer of Collateral, Lender may, unless prohibited
by
applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the
Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims,
right of
redemption and equities of Borrower, which are hereby waived and
released.
(c) Lender
may sublicense, to the same extent Borrower is permitted by law and contract
to
do so, whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Collateral
throughout the world for such period, on such conditions and in such manner
as
Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, determine.
(d) Lender
may (without assuming any obligations or liabilities thereunder), at any
time,
enforce (and shall have the exclusive right to enforce) against licensee
or
sublicensee all rights and remedies of Borrower in, to and under any license
agreement with respect to such Collateral, and take or refrain from taking
any
action thereunder.
(e) Lender
may, in order to implement the assignment, license, sale or other disposition
of
any of the Collateral pursuant to this Section, execute and deliver on
behalf of
Borrower one or more instruments of assignment of the Collateral in form
suitable for filing, recording or registration in any jurisdictions as
Lender
may determine advisable.
(f) In
the
event that any Lender shall recover from Borrower or the Collateral more
than
its pro rata share of the Obligations owed to all Lender hereunder, whether
by
agreement, understanding or arrangement with Borrower or any other person,
set
off or other means, such Lender shall immediately deliver or pay over to
the
other Lender its pro rata portion of any such recovery in the form
received.
6.3 Applications
of Proceeds; Expenses.
(a) The
proceeds of any such sale, sublicense or other disposition of the Collateral
hereunder shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding,
storing,
processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without
limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith)
of
the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by
Lender in enforcing its rights hereunder and in connection with collecting,
storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the
Obligations, and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable
law,
after which Lender shall pay to Borrower any surplus proceeds. If, upon
the
sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof
are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Borrower
will be liable for the deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable
law,
Borrower waives all claims, damages and demands against Lender arising
out of
the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless
due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) Borrower
agrees to pay all out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses reasonably incurred
in
connection with any filing required hereunder, including, without limitation,
any financing statements, continuation statements, partial releases and/or
termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches
reasonably required by Lender. Borrower shall also pay all other claims
and
charges which in the reasonable opinion of Lender would reasonably be expected
to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security
Interest therein. Borrower will also, upon demand, pay to the Lender the
amount
of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel and of any experts and agents, which Lender may incur in connection
with the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other
realization upon, any of the Collateral.
6.4 Responsibility
for Collateral.
Borrower assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with
all
Collateral, and the obligations of Borrower hereunder or under the Notes
shall
in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction,
damage
or theft of any of the Collateral or its unenforceability or unavailability
for
any reason.
6.5 Security
Interest Absolute. In the event that at any time any transfer of any
Collateral or any payment received by Lender hereunder shall be deemed
by final
order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference
or
fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United
States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than
Lender,
then, in any such event, Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive, and
shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof, but
shall
remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the
terms
and provisions hereof. Borrower waives all right to require Lender to proceed
against any other person or to apply any Collateral which Lender may hold
at any
time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, Borrower waives any defense arising by reason
of
the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured
hereby.
6.6 Term
of Security Interest. The Security Interest shall terminate on the date on
which all payments under the Notes have been made in full and all other
Obligations have been paid or discharged in full. Upon such termination,
Lender,
at the request and at the expense of Borrower, will join in executing any
termination statement and other filings with respect to any financing statement
executed and filed pursuant to this Agreement or required for evidencing
termination of the Security Interest.
6.7 Power
of Attorney; Further Assurances. Borrower
authorizes Lender, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Lender,
and
its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution,
as
Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in its own name or in
the name of Borrower, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an
Event of Default, (i) endorse any notes, checks, drafts, money orders,
or other
instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect
of any
policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession
of Lender; (ii) to sign and endorse any UCC financing statement or any
invoice,
freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts,
drafts
against Borrower, assignments, verifications and notices in connection
with
accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay
or
discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any
time
levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand,
collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect
of
the Collateral; and (v) generally, to do, at the option of Lender, and
at
Borrower’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which
Lender deem necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral
and
the Security Interest granted therein, in order to effect the intent of
this
Loan Agreement and the Notes, all as fully and effectually as Borrower
might or
could do; and Borrower hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully
do
or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled
with an
interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Loan
Agreement.
(a) On
a
continuing basis, Borrower will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file
and
record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording places
in any
jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the State of Utah, all such
instruments, and take all such action as necessary to perfect the Security
Interest granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes
of
this Loan Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to Lender the grant
or
perfection of a first priority security interest in all the
Collateral.
(b) Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower,
from
time to time in Lender’s discretion, to file, in its sole discretion, one or
more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative
to
any of the Collateral.
6.8 Termination
and Release.
The
Security Interest shall terminate when all Obligations have been finally
and
indefeasibly paid in full. Upon the effectiveness of any written consent
to the
release of the Security Interest in any Collateral, the Security Interest
in
such Collateral shall be automatically released. Upon any sale, transfer
or
other disposition of Collateral permitted by the Loan Documents and Section
3(j)
hereof, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall be automatically
released
(other than to the extent any such sale, transfer or other disposition
of such
Collateral would, immediately after giving effect thereto, result in the
receipt
by Borrower of any other property (whether in the form of Proceeds or otherwise)
that would, but for the release of the Security Interest therein pursuant
to
this clause, constitute Collateral, in which event the Lien created hereunder
shall continue in such property). In connection with any termination or
release
pursuant to this Section, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower,
at
Borrower’s own cost and expense, all UCC termination statements and similar
documents that Borrower may reasonably request to evidence such termination
or
release. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section
shall be without recourse to or warranty by Lender.

adequacy
of its security.
Section
8. Miscellaneous

not
assign its rights or interest hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
Any
Lender may assign any or all of its rights under this Loan Agreement to
any
person to whom such Lender assigns or transfers any Notes.
8.2 Agents.
The
Lender may use one or more agents or servicers to perform its obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.

Rights; No Waiver.
The
rights, powers and remedies of the Lender hereunder are cumulative and
in
addition to all rights, powers and remedies provided under any and all
agreements between Borrower and the Lender relating hereto, at law, in
equity or
otherwise. Any delay or failure by Lender to exercise any right, power
or remedy
shall not constitute a waiver thereof by the Lender, and no single or partial
exercise by the Lender of any right, power or remedy shall preclude other
or
further exercise thereof or any exercise of any other rights, powers or
remedies. No delay or omission of the Lender to exercise any right or remedy
accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy
or
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein.
In
particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the
due
date of any amount payable under this Loan Agreement, the Note or any other
Loan
Document, the Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either
to
require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Loan
Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default
for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Every right
and
remedy given by this Section or by law to the Lender may be exercised from
time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Lender and may
be
pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as the
Lender may determine in the Lender's sole discretion.

agreements of Borrower set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents

survive
the delivery of the Note and the making of the Loan and continue for as
long as

that the
Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their
meaning
against the party which drafted the same. This
Loan
Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents, including any attachments,
exhibits and schedules referred to therein, constitute the entire agreement
between the parties pertaining to the subject matter
thereof and supersede any and all prior agreements, representations and
understandings of the parties, written or oral. Except as otherwise expressly
provided in any Loan Document, to the extent of any conflict or inconsistency
between the terms of this Loan Agreement and the terms of any other Loan
Document, the terms hereof shall prevail.
8.16 Waiver
of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever
from the
Lender except with respect to matters for which this Loan Agreement or
the other
Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice
by
the Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower
is
not, pursuant to applicable law, permitted to waive the giving of
notice.
8.17 Fee
and Expense Reimbursement and Direct Payment.
(a) Upon
execution of this Loan Agreement, in accordance with the Letter Agreement,
Lender shall deposit $250,000 (the “Initial
Draw-Down”)
into
Advisors’ client trust account. Advisors shall pay the following from the
Initial Draw-Down: legal fees to Paula Winner Barnett, Esq., consulting
fees to
the Advisors, and legal fees to Troy Gould PC, as reimbursement in full
of
Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Loan and other
transactions related to Borrower. The remaining Initial Draw-Down amount
shall
be delivered to Borrower,
less any customary bank charges.
(b) Following
the execution of this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall from time to time,
on
demand, reimburse Lender for, and hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against,
all
liabilities, claims, debts, losses, demands, actions, suits,
charges, reasonable
attorneys' fees, reasonable consultants' fees and other expenses incurred
by
Lender in the exercise of its powers, rights and duties hereunder and in
enforcement and administration of the Loan, including, without limitation,
protecting Lender's security for the Loan, and payment of obligations of
Borrower which Lender may make, and in connection with any refinancing
of or
restructuring of the Loan, including, but not limited to, extensions, renewals,
revisions or “workouts,” or if any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor-relief
proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower, the fees and expenses of
legal
counsel for Lender incurred in connection therewith, including, but not
limited
to, attendance of such counsel at meetings of creditors for the consideration
of
such proceedings, shall be recoverable from Borrower upon demand; provided,
however,
that
Borrower shall be under no obligation to indemnify Lender against any
liabilities, claims, debts,
losses, demands, actions, suits, charges, attorneys' fees, consultant's
fees,
and other expenses resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct
on the
part of the Lender.
(c) In
the
event that Borrower fails, within thirty (30) days after Lender's demand
to pay
to Lender any sum advanced or expenses incurred by Lender pursuant this
Loan
Agreement or under the other Loan Documents which is reimbursable by Borrower
under the terms of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, the
amount of
such advance or expense shall bear interest from the 31st day after such
Lender's demand at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note); provided,
however,
that this provision shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies
of
Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and shall not be deemed
to
limit Lender's right to compel prompt performance hereunder or
thereunder.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Loan Agreement to
be
executed by their duly authorized representatives, as of the date first
above
written.
