ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The percentage of shares of Common Stock reported beneficially owned by Mr. Kimberlin for purposes hereof is based upon 19,293,819 shares outstanding, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 15, 2006, as reported in the Company's Form DEF 14A filed with the Commission on that date. Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the rules of the Commission, based on voting and investment power with respect to such shares. Shares of Common Stock subject to options, convertible securities or warrants currently exercisable or convertible, or exercisable or convertible within 60 days after the date of this Statement, are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of Mr. Kimberlin, but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Not included in the beneficial holdings of Mr. Kimberlin are the holdings of Qubit Holdings LLC ("Qubit"), a Delaware limited liability company held in trust for the benefit of Mr. Kimberlin's children, which beneficially owns 758,156 shares of Common Stock, and 1,127,041 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the 8 conversion or exercise of convertible securities and warrants held by Qubit.

WARRANT AGREEMENT ----------------- WARRANT AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of January 31, 2006, by and between Vyteris Holdings (Nevada), Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and Spencer Trask Specialty Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Warrant Holder"). W I T N E S S E T H - - - - - - - - - - WHEREAS, the parties have entered into that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 31, 2006, by and between the Company and the Warrant Holder (the "Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement"); and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Holder has agreed to loan to the Company Two Hundred Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars (the "Loan Amount"), subject to the issuance by the Company of a convertible subordinated promissory note (the "Note"), and the Company has agreed to issue to the Warrant Holder a warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 52,083 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), subject to the terms set forth herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. WARRANT. 1.1 COMMON STOCK. The Company hereby grants to the Warrant Holder, subject to the terms set forth herein, the right to purchase at any time during the term (the "Warrant Exercise Term") commencing on the date hereof and ending at 5:30 p.m., New York time, on the seventh anniversary of the date hereof (the "Expiration Date") 52,083 shares of Common Stock (the "Shares"), at an initial exercise price of $2.88 per share, subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 1.2 and 3 hereof (as in effect from time to time, the "Exercise Price"). 2. EXERCISE OF WARRANT. 2.1 EXERCISE. The Warrant may be exercised by the Warrant Holder, in whole or in part, by delivering the Notice of Exercise purchase form, attached as EXHIBIT A hereto (the "Notice of Exercise"), duly executed by the Warrant Holder to the Company at its principal office, or at such other office as the Company may designate, accompanied by payment, in cash or by wire transfer or check payable to the order of the Company, of the amount obtained by multiplying the number of Shares designated in the Notice of Exercise by the Exercise Price (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price may also be paid, in whole or in part, by delivery of such purchase form and of shares of Common Stock owned by the Warrant Holder having a Fair Market Value (as defined in Section 2.3 hereof) on the last business day ending the day immediately prior to the Exercise Date (as defined below) equal to the portion of the aggregate Exercise Price being paid in such shares. In addition, the Warrant may be exercised, pursuant to a cashless exercise by providing irrevocable instructions to the Company, through delivery of the Notice of Exercise with an appropriate reference to this Section 2.1 to issue the number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the product of (a) the number of shares as to which the Warrant is being exercised multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Market Value of a share of the Common Stock on the last business day preceding the Exercise Date less the Exercise Price therefor and the denominator of which is such Fair Market Value. For purposes hereof, "Exercise Date" shall mean the date on which all deliveries required to be made to the Company upon exercise of the Warrant pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall have been made. 2.2 ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES. As soon as practicable after the exercise of the Warrant (in whole or in part) in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, the Company, at its expense, shall cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Warrant Holder (i) a certificate or certificates for the number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares to which the Warrant Holder shall be entitled upon such exercise and (if applicable) (ii) a new warrant agreement of like tenor to purchase all of the Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the portion, if any, of the Warrant not exercised by the Warrant Holder. The Warrant Holder shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares on the date on which the Notice of Exercise and payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof were delivered and made, respectively, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate or certificates, except that if the date of such delivery, notice and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open. 2.3 FAIR MARKET VALUE. The "Fair Market Value" of a share of Common Stock on any determined date means: (a) if the principal market for the Common Stock is The New York Stock Exchange, any other national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market, the closing sales price of the Common Stock on such day as reported by such exchange or market, or on a consolidated tape reflecting transactions on such exchange or market, or (b) if the principal market for the Common Stock is not a national securities exchange or The Nasdaq National Market and the Common Stock is quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, the mean between the closing bid and the closing asked prices for the Common Stock on such day as quoted on such System, or (c) if the Common Stock is not quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on such day as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.; provided, that if none of (a), (b) or (c) above is applicable, or if no trades have been made or no quotes are available for such day, the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock shall be determined, in good faith, by the Board of Directors of the Company. 3. ADJUSTMENTS. 3.1 STOCK SPLITS, STOCK DIVIDENDS AND COMBINATIONS. If the Company at any time subdivides the outstanding shares of the Common Stock or issues a stock dividend (in Common Stock) on the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the 2 Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or the issuance of such stock dividend shall be proportionately decreased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately increased, and if the Company at any time combines (by reverse stock split or otherwise) the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares subject hereto shall be proportionately decreased, effective at the close of business on the date of such subdivision, stock dividend or combination, as the case may be. 3.2 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. In the case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company with or into another entity (other than a consolidation or merger which does not result in any reclassification or change of the outstanding capital stock of the Company), the entity formed by such consolidation or merger shall execute and deliver to the Warrant Holder a supplemental warrant agreement providing that the Warrant Holder of the Warrant then outstanding or to be outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the expiration of such Warrant) to receive, upon exercise of such Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of capital stock and other securities and property receivable upon such consolidation or merger by a holder of the number of Shares for which such Warrant might have been exercised immediately prior to such consolidation or merger. Such supplemental warrant agreement shall provide for adjustments which shall be identical to the adjustments provided in Section 3.1 hereof and to the provisions of Section 10 hereof. This Section 3.2 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers. 3.3 The Exercise Price shall also be subject to adjustment as follows: (1) SPECIAL DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Section 3.3, the following definitions shall apply: (A) "Options" shall mean rights, options or warrants to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Common Stock or Convertible Securities. (B) "Original Issue Date" shall mean the date of this Agreement. (C) "Convertible Securities" shall mean any evidence of indebtedness, shares of capital stock (other than Common Stock) or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock. (D) "Additional Shares of Common Stock" shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Company on or after the Original Issue Date, other than shares of Common Stock issued at any time: (i) upon exercise of the Warrant or conversion of the Note issued pursuant to the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement; (ii) pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or other Common Stock purchase rights issued (or to be issued) to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to, or any strategic ally of, the Company pursuant to any stock purchase or stock option plan or other arrangement approved by the Board of Directors; 3 (iii) pursuant to the exercise of options, warrants or Convertible Securities outstanding as of the Original Issue Date; or (iv) in connection with the acquisition of all or part of another entity by stock acquisition, merger, consolidation or other reorganization, or by the purchase of all or part of the assets of such other entity (including securities issued to persons formerly employed by such other entity and subsequently hired by the Company and to any brokers or finders in connection therewith) where the Company or its stockholders own more than fifty (50%) percent of the voting power of the acquired, surviving, combined or successor company. (2) ISSUANCE OF OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. Subject to Section 3.3(1)(D) hereof, in the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities, then the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities, the actual conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock. (3) ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE UPON ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. In the event the Company, after the Original Issue Date, shall issue Additional Shares of Common without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the then-applicable Exercise Price, then and in such event, such Exercise Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying the then-applicable Exercise Price by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to such issuance plus the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued by (y) the Conversion Price, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding (on a fully-diluted basis) immediately prior to such issuance plus the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued. Upon each such adjustment of the then-applicable Exercise Price pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.3(3), the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant shall be adjusted to the nearest full amount by multiplying a number equal to the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product so obtained by the adjusted Exercise Price. (4) Determination of Consideration. For purposes of this Section 3, the consideration received by the Company for the issue of any Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be computed as follows: (A) Cash and Property. Such consideration shall: (i) insofar as it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Company, excluding only expenses, discounts and commissions actually paid by the Company in connection with such issuance or sale and amounts paid or payable for accrued interest. 4 (ii) insofar as it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value thereof at the time of such issue, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, excluding only the expenses as set forth in clause (i) above; and (iii) in the event Additional Shares of Common Stock are issued together with other shares or securities or other assets of the Company for consideration that covers both cash and property other than cash, the proportion of such consideration so received, computed as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. (B) OPTIONS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. The consideration per share received by the Company for Additional Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 3.3(2), relating to Options and Convertible Securities, shall be determined by dividing: (i) the total amount, if any, received by the Company as consideration for the issuance of such Options or Convertible Securities, plus the aggregate amount of additional consideration paid or payable to the Company upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, or in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities (subject to any adjustments in the exercise price thereof), by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable upon the exercise of such Options or the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities or, in the case of Options for Convertible Securities, the exercise of such Options for Convertible Securities and the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities. 3.4 CERTIFICATE AS TO ADJUSTMENTS. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment of the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder of a Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Company for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued, (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or deemed to have been issued and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property that at the time would be received upon the exercise of the Warrant. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of any Holder of a Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (x) all adjustments and readjustments of the Exercise Price since the Original Issue Date and (y) the Exercise Price then in effect. 3.5. ASSURANCES WITH RESPECT TO EXERCISE RIGHTS. The Company shall not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws 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 to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times, in good faith, assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Agreement and in taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Warrant Holder against impairment or dilution. 5 4. TRANSFERS. 4.1 UNREGISTERED SECURITIES. Warrant Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant and the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering, and the Warrant Holder agrees not to sell, pledge, distribute, offer for sale, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Warrant or any Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant in the absence of (a) an effective registration statement under the Act as to the Warrant or such Shares and registration and/or qualification of the Warrant or such Shares under any applicable Federal or state securities law then in effect or (b) an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such registration and qualification are not required. 4.2 TRANSFERABILITY. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 hereof, the rights under this Agreement are freely transferable, in whole or in part, by the Warrant Holder, and such transferee shall have the same rights hereunder as the Warrant Holder. 4.3 WARRANT REGISTER. The Company will maintain a register containing the names and addresses of the Warrant Holders of the Warrant. Until any transfer of Warrant in accordance with this Agreement is reflected in the warrant register, the Company may treat the Warrant Holder as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes. Any Warrant Holder may change such Warrant Holder's address as shown on the warrant register by written notice to the Company requesting such change. 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES. Any adjustment in the number of Shares purchasable hereunder shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. 6. INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. The Warrant Holder agrees and acknowledges that it is acquiring the Warrant and will be acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to any resale or distribution other than in accordance with Federal and state securities laws. The Warrant Holder is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. 7. COVENANTS AS TO THE SHARES. The Company covenants and agrees that the shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant, will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, with no personal liability attaching to the ownership thereof, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof imposed by or through the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificates in respect of such shares in a name other than that of the Warrant Holder and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person(s) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or it shall be established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. The Company further covenants and agrees that the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights imposed by or through the Company, a 6 sufficient number of shares of capital stock to provide for the exercise of the rights represented under this Agreement. 8. LEGEND. Any certificate evidencing the Shares issuable upon exercise hereof will bear a legend indicating that such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities laws and may not be sold or offered for sale in the absence of an effective registration statement as to the securities under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities law or an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration is not required. 9. RIGHTS APPLICABLE TO THE WARRANT SHARES. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be entitled to all of rights and privileges provided to the Registration Rights Agreement (as such term is defined in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement). 10. DIVIDENDS AND OTHER DISTRIBUTIONS. In the event that the Company shall, at any time prior to the exercise of all Warrants, declare a dividend (other than a dividend consisting solely of shares of Common Stock) or otherwise distribute to its stockholders any assets, properties, rights, evidence of indebtedness, securities (other than shares of Common Stock), whether issued by the Company or by another person, or any other thing of value, the Warrant Holder shall thereafter be entitled, in addition to the shares of Common Stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise thereof, to receive, upon the exercise of such Warrant, the same property, assets, rights, evidences of indebtedness, securities or any other thing of value that the Warrant Holder would have been entitled to receive at the time of such dividend or distribution as if the Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such dividend or distribution. At the time of any such dividend or distribution, the Company shall make (and maintain) appropriate reserves to ensure the timely performance of the provisions of this Section 10. 11. MISCELLANEOUS. 11.1 WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS. This Agreement or any provisions hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by a statement in writing signed by the Company and by the Warrant Holder. 11.2 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 11.3 NOTICES.

Buyer will give Seller written notice of such demand within five (5) days after receiving notice of the Liquidation Event. All amounts (including all accrued and unpaid interest) due and owing under the Note shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five (5) days from the date of such written notice via federal funds wire transfer(s) of immediately available funds, in accordance with written instructions to be provided to Seller by Buyer within at least two (2) business days after giving Seller such written notice.

and the Investor will pay the Company or such other Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company;

The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 4 6.5 The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement. 7.

and the Company will pay each the Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to: (i) amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); (ii) any such Damages arising out of or a based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; or (iii) any such Damages arising out of or based upon the Investor's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. 6.2 To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will, if Registrable Securities held by the Investor are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, legal counsel, and each person controlling such other Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all Damages arising out of or based upon arising any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement filed pursuant hereto, prospectus offering circular or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Investor of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws and relating to action or inaction required of the Investor in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and the Investor will pay the Company or such other Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with 3 investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). 6.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so chooses, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. 6.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 6.5 The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement. 7.

INDEMNIFICATION. --------------- 6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Investor, its members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, legal counsel for the Investor, and each person controlling the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions in respect thereof (collectively, "Damages"), arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, prospectus offering circular or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and the Company will pay each the Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to: (i) amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); (ii) any such Damages arising out of or a based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; or (iii) any such Damages arising out of or based upon the Investor's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. 6.2 To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will, if Registrable Securities held by the Investor are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, legal counsel, and each person controlling such other Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all Damages arising out of or based upon arising any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement filed pursuant hereto, prospectus offering circular or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Investor of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws and relating to action or inaction required of the Investor in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and the Investor will pay the Company or such other Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with 3 investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). 6.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so chooses, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. 6.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 6.5 The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement. 7. Notices. ------- 4 7.1 Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be made by hand delivery, by confirmed facsimile, by overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, addressed (i) if to the Investor, to the Investor's address as set forth on Schedule A hereto, and (ii) if to the Company, to Vyteris Holdings (Nevada), Inc., 13-01 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, New Jersey 07410, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, Facsimile: (201) 796-6057 with a copy to Lownestein Sandler PC, 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, NJ 07068, facsimile number (973) 597-2400, Attention: Peter H.

The number of Applicable Securities received upon conversion pursuant to this Section 3(b) shall be determined by dividing the aggregate principal amount due under the Note, together with any accrued but unpaid interest to the date of conversion, by the price per Applicable Security paid in the Qualified Financing. For the purposes of the Note, a "Qualified Financing" shall mean the Company's next private financing of Applicable Securities to investors (i) yielding aggregate gross proceeds (exclusive of conversion of the Note) to the Company of at least $500,000 and (ii) which does not invoke or trigger the provisions of Section 4(b) of the Debentures or Section 6(c) of the Warrants (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 3.5. CONVERSION PROCEDURES. In order to exercise the conversion rights set forth in Section 3.4(a) hereof, Buyer shall surrender the Note, appropriately endorsed, to Seller at Seller's principal office, accompanied by written notice to Seller setting forth the amount of principal and interest to be converted, the name or names (with address(es)) in which the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be issued and registered on the books of Seller. For purposes hereof, the "Conversion Date" shall be deemed to be the date the Note and notice is received by Seller for conversion. Within five (5) business days after the Conversion Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) a stock certificate for the Conversion Shares or (ii) a notice certified by Seller's Secretary that the Conversion Shares due on such conversion have been 3 issued to and registered on the books of Seller in the name or names specified by Buyer. In the case of conversion of less than the entire principal of and interest under the Note, Seller shall cancel said Note and shall execute and deliver a new Note of like tenor for the unconverted amount of the Note dated the date of execution by Seller upon initial issuance of the Note notwithstanding any subsequent substitution. 3.6. SUBORDINATION. The Note is expressly and fully subordinated, as to payment and liquidation, to the payment in full of the Debentures and the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the holder of the Note acknowledges and agrees that the Seller is expressly restricted from pre-paying any amounts in respect of the principal of the Note (upon acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full of the Debentures. The holder of this Note shall not commence any judicial or other collection efforts or exercise any other remedies prior to the date that is ninety-one (91) days following the payment in full of the Debentures. The Note is, and is intended to be, "Subordinated Debt" as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 3.7. PREPAYMENT RIGHTS UPON MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC. (a) If, prior to the Conversion Date, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 above, Seller proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, another corporation or entity, or to effect any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or effect any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Seller immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization own capital stock of the entity surviving such merger, consolidation or reorganization representing less than fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of such entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization (collectively, a "Liquidation Event"), then Seller shall provide Buyer with at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of any such proposed action, and Buyer will, at its option, have the right to demand immediate prepayment of all amounts due and owing under the Note. Buyer will give Seller written notice of such demand within five (5) days after receiving notice of the Liquidation Event. All amounts (including all accrued and unpaid interest) due and owing under the Note shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five (5) days from the date of such written notice via federal funds wire transfer(s) of immediately available funds, in accordance with written instructions to be provided to Seller by Buyer within at least two (2) business days after giving Seller such written notice. The provisions of this Section 3.7(a) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. 6.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 6.5 The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement. 4 7.

The Note is, and is intended to be, "Subordinated Debt" as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 3.7. PREPAYMENT RIGHTS UPON MERGER, CONSOLIDATION, ETC. (a) If, prior to the Conversion Date, but subject to the provisions of Section 3.6 above, Seller proposes to consolidate with, or merge into, another corporation or entity, or to effect any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller, or effect any other corporate reorganization, in which the stockholders of the Seller immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization own capital stock of the entity surviving such merger, consolidation or reorganization representing less than fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding securities of such entity immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization (collectively, a "Liquidation Event"), then Seller shall provide Buyer with at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of any such proposed action, and Buyer will, at its option, have the right to demand immediate prepayment of all amounts due and owing under the Note. Buyer will give Seller written notice of such demand within five (5) days after receiving notice of the Liquidation Event. All amounts (including all accrued and unpaid interest) due and owing under the Note shall be paid by Seller to Buyer within five (5) days from the date of such written notice via federal funds wire transfer(s) of immediately available funds, in accordance with written instructions to be provided to Seller by Buyer within at least two (2) business days after giving Seller such written notice. The provisions of this Section 3.7(a) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations or mergers.

By:____________________________________ Name: Title: 14 EXHIBIT 99.62 EXHIBIT A Form of Note EXHIBIT B Form of Registration Rights Agreement SCHEDULES EX-99 18 exhibit99-63.txt EXHIBIT 99.63 EXHIBIT 99.63 REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT This REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated as of April 4, 2006, is by and between VYTERIS HOLDINGS (NEVADA), INC., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), and SPENCER TRASK SPECIALTY GROUP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor"). The Company has agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2006 (the "Note Agreement"), to issue and sell to the Investor named therein the Note in the form attached to the Note Agreement (the "Note"). The Note is convertible into shares (the "Registrable Shares") of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock) in accordance with its terms. In order to induce the Investor to enter into the Note Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and under applicable state securities laws. In consideration of the Investor entering into the Note Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Piggyback Registration Statement. If, at any time, the Company proposes to file any registration statement on Form S-1 or such other appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to employee benefit plans or with respect to corporate reorganizations or other transactions under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or initial public offerings) it will give written notice by facsimile or mail, at least five (5) days prior to the filing of each registration statement, to the Investor of its intention to do so. If the Investor notifies the Company within five (5) days after receipt of any such notice of its desire to include any such securities in such proposed registration statement, the Company shall afford the Investor the opportunity to have any Registrable Securities registered under such registration statement. 2. Obligations of the Company. In connection with the filing of any registration statement herein, the Company shall: 2.1 Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement. 2.2 Furnish to the Investor such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them. 2.3 Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 2.4 Notify the Investor at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. 2.5 Use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities listed by the Company are then listed. 3. Obligations of the Investor. The Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the Investor, the number of Registrable Securities owned and proposed to be sold by it, the intended method of disposition of such securities and any other information as shall be required to effect the registration of the Investor's Registrable Securities, and cooperate with the Company in preparing the registration statement and in complying with the requirements of the Securities Act. 4. Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities, including without limitation all registration, listing, filing and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees, but excluding (i) underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the Registrable Securities and (ii) legal fees and disbursements of any and all counsel retained by the Investor. 5. Suspension of Effectiveness. If the Company shall furnish to the Investor a certificate signed by the President or Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it is necessary to suspend the effectiveness of any registration statement filed hereunder, the Company shall have the right, exercisable two (2) times only in any consecutive 2 twelve (12) month period, to suspend the effectiveness of the registration statement with respect to such offering for a period of not more than an aggregate of ninety (90) days per suspension. 6. Indemnification. 6.1 To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify the Investor, its members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, legal counsel for the Investor, and each person controlling the Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act, with respect to which registration, qualification or compliance of Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions in respect thereof (collectively, "Damages"), arising out of or based on any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto, prospectus offering circular or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and the Company will pay each the Investor any legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to: (i) amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); (ii) any such Damages arising out of or a based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; or (iii) any such Damages arising out of or based upon the Investor's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto. 6.2 To the extent permitted by law, the Investor will, if Registrable Securities held by the Investor are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, each legal counsel and independent accountant of the Company, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and each other the Investor, each of its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents and affiliates, legal counsel, and each person controlling such other Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all Damages arising out of or based upon arising any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a registration statement filed pursuant hereto, prospectus offering circular or other document, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation or alleged violation by the Investor of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under such laws and relating to action or inaction required of the Investor in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance; and the Investor will pay the Company or such other Investor any 3 legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is made in such registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished to the Company by the Investor and stated to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld). 6.3 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so chooses, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission to so deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6. 6.4 If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Damages in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Damages as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 6.5 The obligations of the Company and the Investor under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a registration statement under this Agreement. 7. Notices. ------- 4 7.1 Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be made by hand delivery, by confirmed facsimile, by overnight courier or by registered or certified mail, addressed (i) if to the Investor, to the Investor's address as set forth on Schedule A hereto, and (ii) if to the Company, to Vyteris Holdings (Nevada), Inc., 13-01 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, New Jersey 07410, Attention: Chief Executive Officer, Facsimile: (201) 796-6057 with a copy to Lownestein Sandler PC, 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, NJ 07068, facsimile number (973) 597-2400, Attention: Peter H.

Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon the Investor of any Registrable Securities then outstanding, each future Purchaser of all such Registrable Securities, and the Company. 8.3 Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, excepts as expressly provided herein. 8.4 If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. 8.5 The headings of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the interpretation of this Agreement. 5 8.6 This Agreement constitutes the entire contract among the Company and the Investor relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety any and all prior agreements, understandings and discussions with respect thereto. 8.7 The Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
