PART I

ITEM 1. - BUSINESS

Company History

Interpharm Holdings, Inc., (the "Company" or "Interpharm"), through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., ("Interpharm, Inc." and collectively with Interpharm, "we" or "us") has been engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals since 1984.

We currently sell our products under (i) our own label to the major retailers, wholesalers, managed care organizations and national distributors, and (ii) under private label to wholesalers, distributors, repackagers, and other manufacturers. As of June 30, 2007, we manufactured and marketed thirty six generic pharmaceutical products, which represent various oral dosage strengths for eleven unique products and different dosage strengths for twenty-five of these products.

Our Business and Expansion Plan

In our current phase of expansion, we are continuing the process of transforming the Company into a full service generic pharmaceuticals provider and increasing our line of products, revenues and gross margins. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we increased our revenues by $12,200 over the prior year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our gross margins were 28.7%, as compared to 27.5% during the prior year.

The most critical component of our expansion plan is the investment in research and development to continue to add new products to our product portfolio. Over the past two fiscal years, we have spent a total of $29,600 on research and development.

Another critical component of our plan is an emphasis on sales. During fiscal 2007, our sales strategy has been successful and we are now selling products to the major chains, wholesalers, distributors, managed care entities and government agencies. We are now well positioned to launch new products in these sales channels which should result in increasing sales.

During fiscal 2007, we produced a total of approximately 4.3 billion tablets. We are making further improvements to our efficiencies in manufacturing, and have completed the build out of our Yaphank, New York facility.

Recent Developments

As set forth in detail below in Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” as of June 30, 2007, we defaulted under the terms of our credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“WFBC”) due to a lack of adequate working capital resulting from increased expenses and losses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Although these defaults gave WFBC the right to liquidate our assets and business, WFBC instead waived the defaults and amended our covenants upon our raising an additional $8,000 of debt financing (the “Financing”). The details of the Financing are also described below.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
During our negotiations with WFBC and with the lenders for the $8,000 in financing, we were delayed in filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2007, caused the American Stock Exchange to halt trading in our common stock from October 17, 2007 until November 15, 2007.

In connection with prior financings in 2006, we sold shares of our Series B-1 and C-1 convertible Preferred Stock to Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“TD III”) and Aisling Capital II, L.P. (“Aisling”) from which a waiver is required to issue any securities if no registration statement is effective for the sale of the common stock into which the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock is convertible. No such registration statement is yet effective, and therefore, we were required to seek the consent of TD III and Aisling in order to effect the Financing.

On November 7, 2007, we entered into a Waiver and Consent Agreement (the “Waiver”) with TD III, Aisling and the Parties to the Financing which provided us with the necessary waiver from Tullis and Aisling. In addition, the pursuant to the Waiver, Perry Sutaria, P&K Holdings I, LLC, Rametra Holdings I, LLC, Rajs Holdings I, LLC and Raj Sutaria, the holders of 54% of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Proxy Shares”) agreed to, and did give a voting proxy to a committee comprised of Perry Sutaria and a representative from each of TD III and Aisling to vote the Proxy Shares:

 
1.
For the election of directors; and
 
2.
With respect to any changes in the Company by-laws.

In addition, the holders of the Proxy Shares gave TD III and Aisling tag along rights on the Proxy Shares such that in the event of any sale, other than certain exempted sales, of the Proxy Shares, the holders of the Proxy Shares will have an obligation to have the buyer purchase a proportionate number of shares held by TD III and Aisling.

As consideration for the Waiver, the conversion price of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock was reduced from $1.5338 to $0.95 and the exercise price of an aggregate of 4,563 warrants held by TD III and Aisling was reduced from $1.639 to $0.95. The decreased conversion and exercise prices could adversely impact our earnings per share and the market price of our common stock.

New product development continues to focus on the following six areas: Female Hormone Products, Scheduled Narcotic Products, Soft Gelatin Capsule Products, Oral Liquid Products, Products Coming Off Patent and Special Release Products.  

Facilities

Our primary manufacturing activities are located at our 100 square foot facility in Hauppauge, New York. In January 2007, we leased from an unrelated third party 20 square feet of office space in a building next door to our Hauppauge manufacturing facility. The renovation of our 108 square foot facility located in Yaphank, New York has been completed and we are conducting all of our research and development activities there. The specialized facilities for oral contraceptives, soft gels and high potency products, which are within the Yaphank facility, are now operational. We are now also manufacturing and packaging commercial quantities of some of our current products at the Yaphank facility.

Strategic Alliances

Tris Pharma, Inc.

On February 24, 2005, we entered into two agreements with Tris for the development and licensing of up to twenty-five immediate release liquid generic products (First Liquids Agreement”) and seven solid oral dosage generic pharmaceutical products (the "Solids Contract"). We subsequently amended the Solids Contract to include an additional solid oral dosage product and two soft gel products. In April 2006, we entered into a second amendment to the Solids Contract to add one additional special release product. On October 4, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Tris that supersedes the First Liquids Agreement (“Second Liquids Agreement”). The Second Liquids Agreement covers the development and licensing of up to fourteen immediate release liquid generic products. To date, we have filed two ANDAs for products developed under the Solids Contract and two ANDAs have been filed for products developed under the Second Liquids Agreement.

Centrix Pharmaceutical, Inc.

As previously reported, we commenced shipments in August 2005 pursuant to an agreement with Centrix whereby Centrix has had exclusive distribution rights in the United States to a female hormone product that is manufactured and supplied by Interpharm. On October 27, 2006, the Company amended its agreement with Centrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (“Centrix”) wherein Centrix has agreed to purchase over a twelve month period, 40% more bottles of the Company’s female hormone therapy products than the initial year of the agreement, commencing November 2006.  The parties shared net profits equally, as defined in the agreement.  During fiscal 2007, we recognized $11,583 in net sales from the Centrix agreement. Effective November 1, 2007, the original Centrix agreement is again in full force and effect.

Marketing Strategy

We have made significant progress on our marketing strategy since the implementation of our expansion plan. Our current marketing strategy focuses on offering an array of products within product categories that require distinct capabilities in manufacturing, facilities, regulatory or release technology. These limitations can be characterized by high initial capital expenditures, qualified personnel or specific technological capabilities. By selecting products within these higher barrier to entry product categories, we believe we can offer a unique breadth of products to the marketplace, further penetrate the direct sales channel and reach a larger customer base.

We believe that a broader customer base will enable us to achieve more stable sales and production cycles for both our existing products and new product launches. By making more direct sales, we believe that we can maximize value and profits by eliminating intermediaries as well as offer better customer service and stronger customer relationships.

We have started development on products in all of our five primary targeted product areas and are continuing to target and file ANDAs for products in our sixth area - products coming off patent and for which patents have expired. Each of these product areas was chosen because of the higher margins that are available and because we anticipate limited competition. We continue to focus on developing product lines in our five primary targeted product areas, which are: Female Hormone Products, Scheduled Narcotic Products, Soft Gelatin Capsule Products, Special Release Characteristic Products and Liquid Products. This should allow us to further increase gross margins and per tablet revenues.

Competition

The generic pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive. The primary means of competition involve manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies, innovation and development, timely FDA approval, product quality, marketing, reputation, level of service, including the maintenance of sufficient inventory levels to assure timely delivery of products, product appearance and price. Often, price is the key factor in the generic pharmaceutical business. Therefore, to compete effectively and remain profitable, a generic drug manufacturer must manufacture its products in a cost effective manner. We believe that in most instances, we maintain adequate levels of inventories to meet customer demand. In the first half of fiscal 2007, we had experienced raw material supply issues, which created backorders, which were fulfilled during the second half of the fiscal year.We believe that our expansion and modernization of our facility, hiring of experienced personnel, including logistics and operations personnel, and implementation of quality control programs have improved our competitive position during fiscal 2007.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

During the past several years the number of chain drug stores and wholesaler customers have declined due to industry consolidation. In addition, the remaining chain drug stores and wholesaler customers have instituted buying programs that have caused them to buy more products from fewer suppliers. At the same time, mail-order prescription services and managed care organizations have grown in importance and they also limit the number of vendors. The reduction in the number of our customers and limitation on the number of vendors by the remaining customers has increased competition among generic drug marketers. During fiscal year ended June 2007, this has caused us to reduce pricing on some products in certain segments of the market. However, these pressures have not had a material adverse impact on our business and we believe that we have good relationships with our key customers.

As is the case with many generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial resources than us. Consequently, some of these competitors may have larger production capabilities, may be able to develop products at a significantly faster pace at a reduced cost, and may be able to devote far greater resources to marketing their product lines.

Certain manufacturers of brand-name drugs and/or their affiliates have been introducing generic pharmaceutical products equivalent to such brand-name drugs at relatively low prices (so-called “authorized generics”). Such pricing, with its attendant diminished profit margins, could have the effect of inhibiting us and other manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products from developing and introducing generic pharmaceutical products comparable to certain brand-name drugs. Also, consolidation among wholesalers, distributors, and repackagers, and technological advances in the industry and pricing pressures from large buying groups, may create pricing pressure, which could reduce our profit margins on our product lines.

In addition, increased price competition among manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products, resulting from new generic pharmaceutical products being introduced into the market and other generic pharmaceutical products being reintroduced into the market, has led to an increase in demands by customers for downward price adjustments by the manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products. No assurance can be given that such price adjustments, which reduce gross profit margins, will not continue, or even increase, with a consequent adverse effect on our earnings.

Brand-name companies also pursue other strategies to prevent or delay generic competition. These strategies may include: seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence, initiating legislative efforts in various states to limit the substitution of generic versions of certain types of brand-name pharmaceuticals, instituting legal action that automatically delays approval of an ANDA and may require certifications that the brand-name drug's patents are invalid or unenforceable, or introducing "second generation" products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting trials of brand-name drugs, persuading the FDA to withdraw the approval of brand-name drugs, for which the patents are about to expire, thus allowing the brand-name company to obtain new patented products serving as substitutes for the products withdrawn, or seeking to obtain new patents on drugs for which patent protection is about to expire.

The ability of brand-name companies to successfully delay generic competition in any of our targeted new product lines may adversely affect our ability to enter into the desired product line or may impact our ability to attain our desired market share for that product.

The Food and Drug Modernization Act of 1997 includes a pediatric exclusivity provision that may provide an additional six months of market exclusivity for indications of new or currently marketed drugs if certain agreed upon pediatric studies are completed by the applicant. Brand-name companies are utilizing this provision to extend periods of market exclusivity.

Backlog

We do not have a significant backlog, as we normally deliver products purchased by our customers on a timely basis.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own any patents. Interpharm owns the registered trademark REPRAXIN.

Industry
 
The Generic Drug Market and Necessary Approvals

Pharmaceutical products in the United States are generally marketed as either "brand-name" or "generic" drugs. Brand-name products are drugs generally sold by the holder of the drug's patent or through an exclusive marketing arrangement. A company that receives approval for a new drug application ("NDA") from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), usually the patent holder, has the exclusive right to produce and sell the drug during the life of the patent. This market exclusivity generally provides brand-name products the opportunity to build-up physician and customer loyalties.

Once a patent on a drug expires, another manufacturer can obtain FDA approval to market a "generic" version. A generic drug is therefore usually marketed after the patent on a brand drug expires. However, a generic product may be marketed prior to the brand product’s patent expiration if that patent is shown to be invalid or not infringed by the generic product.

The FDA requires that generic drugs have the same quality, strength, purity, identity and efficacy as brand-name drugs. While comparable to brand-name drugs, generic drugs are usually far less costly than brand-name drugs, resulting in substantial savings to consumers, healthcare providers and hospitals. These cost savings have resulted in sustained growth of the generic pharmaceutical industry in the United States. According to a Congressional Budget Office study, "How Increased Competition from Generic Drugs has Affected Prices and Returns in the Pharmaceutical Industry," 1 in 1984, 19% of prescription drugs sold in the United States were generic. According to a Federal Trade Commission Study in July, 2002, "Generic Drug Entry Prior to Patent Expiration,"2 that figure reached more than 47%. Moreover, Generic Pharmaceutical Association statistics indicate that generic drug products were dispensed 56% of the time in 2005.

Much of the growth of the generic pharmaceutical industry has been attributed to The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Waxman-Hatch Act") which encourages generic competition. Before the Waxman-Hatch Act, generic drug manufacturers had to put their products through an approval process similar to that for the original approval for brand-name drugs. Waxman-Hatch created an accelerated approval process in which the generic manufacturer needs only to demonstrate to the FDA that, among other things, the generic product is bioequivalent to the brand-name product through the filing of an abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA"). The ANDA may rely on information from the brand-name drug's application with the FDA instead of spending its resources, time and money to collect the same information to support an FDA approval to market its generic product.

On June 12, 2003, the FDA announced new regulations and procedures to improve implementation of the Waxman-Hatch Act. The new regulations and procedures are aimed at reducing the time it takes to bring generic drugs to the market and expanding educational programs to assist health care practitioners and consumers to get accurate information about the availability of generic drugs. The FDA has estimated that the new regulations and procedures will reduce the typical time for generic drug approvals by three months or more during the three to five year period following implementation and will save consumers approximately $35,000,000 over 10 years.

Government Regulation

FDA approval is required before any generic drug can be marketed through an ANDA. While the FDA has significantly streamlined the process of obtaining ANDA approval for generic drugs, it is difficult to predict how long the process will take for any specific drug. In fact, the length of time necessary to bring a product to market can vary significantly and can depend on, among other things, availability of funding, problems relating to formulation, safety or efficacy, patent issues associated with the product or barriers to market entry from brand-name product manufacturers. Therefore, there is always the risk that the introduction of new products can be delayed.

The ANDA process requires that a company's manufacturing procedures and operations conform to FDA requirements and guidelines, generally referred to as current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP"). The requirements for FDA approval encompass all aspects of the production process, including validation and record keeping, and involve changing and evolving standards. Compliance with cGMP regulations requires substantial expenditures of time, money and effort in such areas as production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. The evolving and complex nature of these regulatory requirements, the broad authority and discretion of the FDA and the generally high level of regulatory oversight result in a continuing possibility that we may be adversely affected by regulatory actions despite our efforts to comply with regulatory requirements.

  The ANDA process also requires bioequivalence studies to show that the generic drug is bioequivalent to the approved drug. Bioequivalence studies compare the bioavailability of one drug product, e.g., the generic, with that of another formulation containing the same active ingredient, e.g., the brand. When established, bioequivalence confirms that the rate of absorption and levels of concentration in the bloodstream of a formulation of the approved drug and the generic drug are equivalent as defined by the FDA. Bioavailability indicates the rate and extent of absorption and levels of concentration of a drug product in the bloodstream needed to produce the same therapeutic effect.

We contract with outside laboratories to conduct bioequivalence studies. Historically, the vast majority of our research and development expenditures have been on these studies. While we strive to engage reputable and experienced companies to perform these studies, there can be no assurance that they will use the proper due diligence or that their work will otherwise be accurate.

Supplemental ANDAs are required for approval of various types of changes to an approved application, and these supplements may be under review for six months or more. In addition, certain types of changes may only be approved once new bioequivalency studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied.

The scientific process of developing new products and obtaining FDA approval is complex, costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that any products will be developed and approved despite the amount of time or money spent on research and development. Product development may be curtailed in the early or later stages of development due to the introduction of competing generic products or for other strategic or technical reasons.

Even if an ANDA is approved, brand-name companies can impose substantial barriers to market entry which may include: receiving new patents on drugs whose original patent protection is about to expire; developing patented controlled-release products or other improvements to the original product; marketing over-the-counter versions of the brand-name product that will soon face generic competition; and commencement of marketing initiatives, regulatory activities and litigation. While none of these actions have been taken against us to date, there can be no assurance that they will not be taken in the future, particularly as we significantly expand our product development efforts.

In addition to the Federal government, individual states have laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as regulations pertaining to the substitution of generic drugs for brand-name drugs. Our operations are subject to regulation, licensing requirements and inspection by the states in which we are located or conduct business.

We must also comply with federal, state and local laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions and equal opportunity employment. Additionally, we are subject, as are all manufacturers, to various federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of materials into the environment.

Historically, the costs of complying with such environmental provisions have not had a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash requirements or competitive position, and we do not expect such costs to have any such material adverse effect in the foreseeable future. However, if changes to such environmental provisions are made that require significant changes in our operations or the expenditure of significant funds, such changes could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash requirements or competitive position.

As a public company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SOX Act"). The SOX Act contains a variety of provisions affecting public companies, including the relationship with its auditors, prohibiting loans to executive officers and requiring an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. We have retained an outside consultant to assist us with the process of becoming compliant with Section 404 of the SOX Act by the deadline for such compliance.

The federal government established the Medicaid drug reimbursement as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 ("OBRA"). Generally, OBRA provides that a generic drug manufacturer must offer the states an 11% rebate on drugs dispensed under the Medicaid program and must enter into a formal drug rebate agreement with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In the U.S., there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes that impact the pricing of our products. In particular, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and specific guidance issued by CMS changed the methodology as it is applied to the underlying data for Medicaid rebates of pharmaceutical products. Although not required under OBRA, we have also entered into similar agreements with various states.

Continuing studies of the proper utilization, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, government agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. There can be no assurances that these studies will not, in the future, result in the discontinuance of product marketing.

Raw Materials

Most of the raw materials that we use in the manufacturing of our products consist of pharmaceutical chemicals in various forms, which are available from various sources. FDA approval is required in connection with the process of selecting active ingredient suppliers. In selecting a supplier, we consider not only their status as an FDA approved supplier, but consistency of their products, timeliness of delivery, price and patent position.

Employees
 
As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately six hundred and seventy full time employees. We believe we have a strong relationship with our employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we reduced the number of employees to approximately five hundred and seventy in conjunction with the various actions to improve profitability and cash flows generated from operations which is discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

ITEM 1A. 

Risk Factors
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment in which there are numerous factors which can influence our business, financial position or results of operations and which can also cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Many of these factors are beyond our control and therefore, are difficult to predict. The following section sets forth what we believe to be the principal risks that could affect us, our business or our industry, and which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.

Risks Related to Our Business 

Our future success is dependent on our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize new generic drug products.

Our current business and expansion plan is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and commercialize new generic drugs. There are numerous factors which can delay or prevent us from developing, manufacturing or commercializing new products, including:

 
·
inability to obtain requisite FDA approvals on a timely basis for new generic products;

 
·
reliance on partners for development of certain products;

 
·
the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredients and other key ingredients;

 
·
competition from other generic drug companies offering the same or similar products;

 
·
inadequate funding available for product marketing and sales;

 
·
failure to obtain market acceptance for new generic products;

 
·
failure to succeed in patent challenges;

 
·
unforeseen costs in development;

 
·
legal actions by brand competitors; and

 
·
inability to demonstrate bioequivalence in clinical studies as required by the FDA.
 
14


INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
These, as well as other factors may lead to product approval delays or the abandonment of products in development. The failure of a product to reach successful commercialization could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our future success is dependent upon incurring significant levels of research and development expenditures which will continue to have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Our current business and expansion plan is dependent upon incurring significant levels of research and development expenditures, which continue to have an adverse effect on our profitability. This may cause the market price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate.

We face intense competition which could significantly limit our expansion and growth and materially adversely affect our business and financial results.
 
The generic drug market and industry is highly competitive. Most of our competitors have greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources than we do and therefore, can develop and commercialize more products and develop and commercialize them faster and more efficiently than us. The markets in which we compete and intend to compete are undergoing, and are expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant changes. We expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made.

We also face intense price competition in certain of our products and expect to face intense competition in some of the products we intend to develop and market. This price competition may lead to reductions in prices and gross margins which can adversely affect our business and financial results, and can cause the price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate.

We address competitive issues by seeking to develop and manufacture products where competition is limited. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be effective as there may be no barriers to additional competitors entering the market for these products.

We may not maintain adequate product liability insurance.

We currently maintain $10,000 in product liability insurance. While we believe this amount to be adequate, there can be no assurance that any one or series of claims may exceed our coverage or that coverage will not be denied with respect to a claim or series of claims. A lack of sufficient coverage could materially and adversely affect our business, financial results and the market value of our common stock.
 
We enter into various agreements in the normal course of our business which have indemnification provisions, the triggering of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.
 
15

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
In the normal course of our business, we enter into manufacturing, marketing and other agreements whereby we agree to indemnify the other party or parties in the event of certain breaches of the agreement or with respect to product defects or recalls. While we maintain insurance coverage which we believe can effectively mitigate our obligations under these indemnification provisions, there can be no assurance that such coverage will be adequate to do so. Should our obligations under an indemnification provision exceed our coverage or should coverage be denied, our business, financial results and the market value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors and may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. 

Our operating results may vary substantially from quarter to quarter. Revenues and other operating results for any given period may be greater or less than those in other periods. Factors that may cause quarterly results to vary include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
·
the amount of research and development expenditures;

 
·
competition for new and existing products;

 
·
new product launches;

 
·
changes in pricing for raw materials and other inputs; and

 
·
legal actions.

Fluctuations in our operating results may cause a decline or fluctuation in the price of our common stock.

 Reserves for credits and pricing adjustments may be inadequate.

For certain customers, we issue various price adjustments and credits based on market prices or sales to certain customers. For instance, when we sell certain products to prime vendors for the U.S. government, the sales to the prime vendor are at one price, but if the products are resold to the government, the prime vendor gets to chargeback a portion of the purchase price because sales to the government are at a discount.

Although we establish a reserve for these credits and chargebacks at the time of sale based on known contingencies, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate. Increases in credits and chargebacks may exceed what was estimated as a result of a variety of reasons, including unanticipated increased competition or an unexpected change in one or more of its contractual relationships. Any failure to establish adequate reserves with respect to credits or chargebacks may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and may cause the price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate. 
 
We are presently dependent on a limited number of products for most of our revenues.
 
We currently generate most of our revenues and gross margins from the sale of a limited number of products. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the following products accounted for 95% of our total revenues: Ibuprofen, generic Bactrim, Naproxen and our female hormone products. Ibuprofen alone accounted for 41% of our revenues. Any material adverse developments, including increased competition, with respect to the sale or use of these products, or our failure to successfully introduce new products, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and gross margins.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
We are presently dependent on a small number of major customers.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, five customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 62% of the company’s sales. While we have been able to diversify our customer base over the past two fiscal years, the loss of any one or more of these customers or the substantial reduction in orders from any one or more of such customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Our loan agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit imposes significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and taking certain actions.
 
Our loan agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, a copy of which is contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006, imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, or merge or consolidate. There can be no assurance that these restrictions will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to pursue available business opportunities.

As set forth below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” we were unable to meet certain financial covenants with Wells Fargo Business Credit and were required to raise additional monies through the sale of debt securities. On November 14, 2007, Wells Fargo Business Credit lifted certain of the restrictions on us which enabled us to raise additional monies, waived certain defaults and agreed to amended covenants. There can be no assurance that Wells Fargo Business Credit will act similarly in the future if we breach our credit agreement again.

We may be liable to pay substantial damages, including liquidated damages, or be obligated to redeem such stock for cash if we do not timely perform certain obligations we have to holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock.

In May 2006 we sold to one institutional investor for $10,000 shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. In September 2006 we sold to another institutional investor shares of our Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for $10,000. Under the transaction documents relating to these sales the holders have the right to redeem such shares for cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure to pay dividends on such stock, our failure to timely deliver certificates for shares of our common stock if the holders elect to convert such shares, if we default on indebtedness owed to third parties and such persons accelerate the maturity of at least $3,000 of such indebtedness, or there is a change in control of our company. In addition, we are subject to penalties, up to a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price (which penalties accrue on a daily basis so long as we continue to be in default of our obligations) (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, we do not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of shares of our common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of our common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of our common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which our common stock is traded. We are also subject to penalties if we fail to timely deliver to a holder (or credit the holder’s balance with Depository Trust Company if the common stock is to be held in street name) a certificate for shares of our common stock if the holder elects to convert its preferred stock into common stock. Therefore, upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events our business and financial condition would likely be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock would likely decline.

We have defaulted in certain of our agreements with the holders of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock which have been waived per the Consent and Waiver Agreement dated November 7, 2007, as described in the “Managements Discussion and Analysis” Section below and under the heading “Recent Developments” in Item 1. Those holders have provided a waiver of those defaults in exchange for a decrease in the conversion and exercise prices of the preferred stock and warrants held by them which has a dilutive effect on our common stock. There can be no assurance that any future defaults will be similarly waived.

We are currently involved in legal disputes which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2006, on June 1, 2006, Ray Vuono commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 13985/06). The complaint against Interpharm alleges, among other things, that Vuono is entitled to receive additional compensation as a “finder” under an agreement dated July 1, 2002 with respect to a reverse merger transaction consummated by us in May 2003. Vuono also alleges that he is entitled to additional compensation under the agreement in respect of a $41,500 credit facility from Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. obtained by us in February 2006 and the sale for $10,000 of shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase our common stock consummated by the Company with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. in May 2006. The total amount of damages sought by Vuono in the action was approximately $10,000.

By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.

The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision.   

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against us with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  We believe that the claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action.  Currently, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

While we believe that these claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action, should we be unsuccessful in our defense, our business and financial condition will be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decline.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner subsequently withheld any additional payments under the Settlement until they received reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.

We rely on independent third parties for some of the research and development and testing required for the regulatory approval of our products. Any failure by any of these third parties to perform this research and development or testing properly and in a timely manner may have an adverse effect upon our ability to obtain regulatory approvals. 

Our applications for the regulatory approval of products incorporate the results of research and development and testing and other information that is conducted or gathered by independent third parties (including, for example, Tris Pharma, Inc. whose agreements with us are described fully under “Business”), manufacturers of raw materials, testing laboratories, contract research organizations or independent research facilities. Our ability to obtain regulatory approval on the products being developed and tested is dependent upon the quality of the work performed by these third parties, the quality of the third parties’ facilities and the accuracy of the information provided by third parties. In some instances, we have little or no control over any of these factors. If this testing is not performed properly, our ability to obtain regulatory approvals could be restricted or delayed.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees and consultants. 
  
Our future success will depend, to a substantial degree, upon the continued service of the key members of our management team. The loss of the services of key members of our management team, or their inability to perform services on our behalf, could have a material effect on our business and financial condition and could result in a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Our success, and the success of our expansion plan, also will depend, to a large extent, upon the contributions of our existing sales, marketing, operations, regulatory, compliance scientific, quality control and quality assurance staff and our ability to build their departments and hire additional qualified personnel. We compete for qualified personnel against other larger companies which may offer more favorable employment opportunities. If we are not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we could experience constraints that would adversely affect our ability to sell and market products, or to support internal research and development programs. In particular, product development programs depend on the ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, biochemists, and sales and marketing efforts depend on the ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced sales, marketing and quality assurance representatives. Although we believe we have been successful in attracting and retaining skilled personnel in all areas of our business, we cannot assure that we can continue to attract, train and retain such personnel. Any failure in this regard could limit our growth and expansion and new product development.
 
Our ability to service our debt from Wells Fargo Business Credit and make dividend payments to the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock and to meet our cash requirements depends on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control.
 
Our ability to satisfy our obligations to Wells Fargo Business Credit, the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock, and the holders of our Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due 2010 and the holders of our Secured 12% Promissory Notes Due 2009 will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may be required to: refinance all or a portion of our debt with Wells Fargo, obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate or other purposes; redirect a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service, which as a result, might not be available for our operations or other purposes; sell some of our assets or operations; reduce or delay capital expenditures; or revise or delay our operations or strategic plans. If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our agreement with Wells Fargo or under the terms of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock.

Risks Related to Our Industry 

Litigation is common in our industry and can cause significant expense and delays. 

Branded pharmaceutical companies with patented products are increasingly suing companies that produce generic forms of their patented brand name products for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights, which may delay or prevent the entry of such generic products into the market. Generally, a generic drug may not be marketed until the applicable patent(s) on the brand name drug expires. When an ANDA is filed with the FDA for approval of a generic drug, the filing person may either certify that the patent listed by the FDA as covering the generic product is about to expire, in which case the ANDA will not become effective until the expiration of such patent, or that any patent listed as covering the generic drug is invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture, sale or use of the new drug for which the ANDA is filed. Under either circumstance, there is a risk that a branded pharmaceutical company may sue the filing person for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Also, other companies that compete with us by manufacturing, developing and/or selling the same generic pharmaceutical products similarly may file lawsuits against us claiming patent infringement or invalidity. Because a portion of our current business involves the marketing and development soon to be off-patent products, the threat of litigation, the outcome of which is inherently uncertain, is always present. Such litigation is often costly and time consuming, and could result in a substantial delay in, or prevent, the commercialization of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and the market for our common stock.

 
We are susceptible to product liability claims that may not be covered by insurance, which, if successful, could require us to pay substantial damages. 

We face the risk of loss resulting from, and the adverse publicity associated with, product liability lawsuits, whether or not such claims are valid. In many instances, there is no way that such claims can be avoided. Unanticipated side effects or unfavorable publicity concerning any of our products would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve acceptance by prescribing physicians, managed care providers, pharmacies and other retailers, customers and patients. Even unsuccessful product liability claims could require us to spend money on litigation, divert management’s time, damage our reputation and impair the marketability of our products. In addition, while we believe our current level of product liability insurance is sufficient, there can be no assurance that it will be enough to cover any one or series of claims. There can also be no assurance that as we expand, that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage at acceptable costs. A successful product liability claim that is excluded from coverage or exceeds policy limits could require us to pay substantial sums. In addition, insurance coverage for product liability may become prohibitively expensive in the future.
 
We are subject to extensive governmental regulation, the non-compliance with which may result in fines and/or other sanctions, including product seizures, product recalls, injunctive actions and criminal prosecutions.

21

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

We are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration and state governments. The FFDC Act, the Controlled Substances Act, the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992 (the “Generic Act”), and other federal statutes and regulations govern the testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our products. The Generic Act, a result of legislative hearings and investigations into the generic drug approval process, is particularly relevant to our business. Under the Generic Act, the FDA is authorized to impose debarment and other penalties on individuals and companies that commit illegal acts relating to the generic drug approval process. In some situations, the Generic Act requires the FDA not to accept or review for a period of time ANDAs from a company or an individual that has committed certain violations and provides for temporary denial of approval of applications during its investigation. Additionally, non-compliance with other applicable regulatory requirements may result in fines, perhaps significant in amount, and other sanctions imposed by courts and/or regulatory bodies, including the initiation of product seizures, product recalls, injunctive actions and criminal prosecutions. The FDA also has the authority to withdraw its approval of drugs in accordance with statutory procedures.

In addition to the new drug approval process, the FDA also regulates the facilities and operational procedures that we use to manufacture our products. We must register our facilities with the FDA. All products manufactured in those facilities must be made in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”). Compliance with cGMP regulations requires substantial expenditures of time, money and effort in such areas as production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. The FDA periodically inspects our manufacturing facilities for compliance. FDA approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific. Failure to comply with cGMP regulations at one of our manufacturing facilities could result in an enforcement action brought by the FDA which could include withholding the approval of ANDAs or other product applications of that facility. If the FDA were to require one of our manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, our business could be adversely affected. Delay and cost in obtaining FDA approval to manufacture at a different facility also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Because of the chemical ingredients of pharmaceutical products and the nature of the manufacturing process, we are subject to extensive environmental regulation and the risk of incurring liability for damages and/or the costs of remedying environmental problems. In the future, we may be required to increase expenditures in order to remedy environmental problems and/or comply with applicable regulations. Additionally, if we fail to comply with environmental regulations to use, discharge or dispose of hazardous materials appropriately or otherwise to comply with the provisions of our operating licenses, the licenses could be revoked and we could be subject to criminal sanctions and/or substantial civil liability or be required to suspend or modify our manufacturing operations.

As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, companies are now required to file with the FTC and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of brand drugs. This requirement could affect the manner in which generic drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with brand pharmaceutical companies and could result generally in an increase in private-party litigation against pharmaceutical companies or additional investigations or proceedings by the FTC or other governmental authorities. The impact of this requirement, and the potential private-party lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand name and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect the Company’s business.

Our distribution operations and our customers are subject to various regulatory requirements, including from the DEA, FDA and State Boards of Pharmacy and Health, among others. These include licensing, registration, recordkeeping, security and reporting requirements. Failure by the Company to comply with these regulatory requirements could impact our ability to make and/or maintain sales of our products resulting in a materially adverse impact on the Company’s finances.
 
Our raw materials are purchased primarily from foreign distributors of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals. Any significant supply interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock. 

Our raw materials are purchased primarily from foreign companies. From time to time, we have experienced difficulty in obtaining certain raw materials and products, there can be no assurance that supply interruptions or delays will not occur again in the future or that we will not have to obtain substitute materials or products, which would require additional regulatory approvals. In addition, changes in its raw material suppliers could result in delays in production, higher raw material costs and loss of sales and customers because regulatory authorities must generally approve raw material sources for pharmaceutical products. Any significant supply interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

We may not be able to utilize all of the deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet.
 
            In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” we are required to establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At June 30, 2007, we had a total of $5,975 in net deferred tax assets, which we believe are realizable based on the requirements of SFAS 109. However, because we have shown volatile operating results in the past and because there is no guarantee that the amount and timing of net profits, if any, will be sufficient to fully utilize our deferred tax assets, there is a risk that we will have to record an additional valuation allowance in the future. Moreover, there is a risk that unfavorable audits of, for example, tax credit or NOL carryforwards by government agencies or change of ownership limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may reduce the value of our deferred tax assets. If any of these events were to occur, our financial results for one or more periods would be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our research and development expenditures may not lead to the commercialization of successful products.

            Our current business and expansion plan calls for, and is dependent upon, research and development expenditures in order to add new products to our product line, but also upon the projected success of new products.  There can be no assurance, however, that these research and development expenditures will result in successful or profitable products as there are many factors which affect the success of pharmaceutical products in the market such as consumer acceptance, continuing acceptance by the medical profession, litigation and product liability and competition.  In the event that our significant research and development expenditures do not result in profitable products, our business and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our common stock would decline.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

Six of our shareholders control us through their ownership and control of voting stock.

Four of our shareholders, one of whom is an Executive Vice President and owns approximately 27% of our common stock, along with two investors who share a proxy from three of these shareholders, own and control in the aggregate approximately 76% of our common stock. These stockholders can effectively control us and their interests may materially differ from other shareholders.

There is only a limited trading market for our common stock.
 
Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange, but the public float available for trading is currently relatively small. Therefore, the volume and price of trading in our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations.

The Waivers obtained from the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock will be dilutive to our other shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock, we cannot raise additional capital through the sale of securities until such time as the common stock into which the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock is convertible has been registered for re-sale, which has not yet occurred. On November 8, 2007, in exchange for a waiver permitted us to sell additional securities, we lowered the conversion price of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock from $1.5338 to $0.95 and lowered the exercise price of an aggregate of 4,564 warrants held by them from $1.639 to $0.95. The decreased conversion and exercise prices could result in the issuance of an additional 8,013 shares by us without additional consideration which could increase our net loss per share to common stockholders and may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
The trading of our common stock has been suspended for failure to comply with rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange relating to timely SEC filings.

As reported in our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 12 and 15, 2007, respectively, we disclosed that as a result of negotiations with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through our Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division ("Wells Fargo"), the Company would not be able to file its Form 10-K by its due date of October 15, 2007 and that we anticipated filing upon the conclusion of negotiations with Wells Fargo. We further disclosed that on October 12, 2007, we notified the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that we would not file its Form 10-K in a timely manner in conformity with Section 610(b) of the AMEX Company Guide.

On October 15, 2007, we received notice from the AMEX that trading in its common stock would be halted pending compliance with AMEX rules through the filing of financial information and on October 16, 2007, trading in its common stock was halted.

We anticipate that we will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2007 by its due date. This late filing is likely to result in an additional or continued suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock on the AMEX, and could result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from the AMEX. A continued or additional trading suspension may adversely impact the market value of our common stock in the event that trading again commences and a delisting of our common stock from the AMEX is likely to adversely impact the market value of our common stock if it can be traded over-the-counter and may result in a substantial loss of value if it cannot be so traded.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

Description of Property

We lease an entire building in Hauppauge, New York, pursuant to a non-cancellable lease expiring in October, 2019, which houses our manufacturing, warehousing and some of our executive offices. The leased building is approximately 100 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The lease between the landlord and Interpharm Inc, states that upon a change in ownership of Interpharm Inc, which occurred on May 30, 2003, the landlord is entitled to increase the rents to fair market value and every three years thereafter. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $660. Sutaria Family Realty, LLC is owned by Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria and Raj Sutaria, who collectively own and control 37,706 shares of our common stock and 4,855 shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and are the children of Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and the niece and nephews of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria, our past President. In addition, Raj Sutaria is an Executive Vice President of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. There are no tenants in the building other than us.

In January 2007, we entered into a seven year lease for approximately 20 square feet of office space. The lease provides us an option to extend the lease for a period of three years. According to the terms of the lease the base annual rental for the first year will be $261 and will increase by 3% annually thereafter. Further, we are required to pay for renovations to the facility, currently estimated at approximately $300.

On June 29, 2004, pursuant to a contract entered into on November 14, 2003, we purchased a 92 square foot facility on thirty seven acres of land, located at 50 Horseblock Road in Brookhaven, New York. The purchase price for the building and land was approximately $9,400. The facility is located in Suffolk County, New York's Brookhaven Empire Zone. As part of the planned modifications to the facility, we constructed a 16 square foot research and development laboratory within the facility, which is now operational. Through June 30, 2007 we have spent an additional $8,685 in building renovations and equipment.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2006, on June 1, 2006, Ray Vuono (“Vuono”) commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 13985/06). Vuono’s complaint against us alleges, among other things, that Vuono is entitled to receive additional compensation as a “finder” under an agreement dated July 1, 2002 between Vuono and the Company (then known as Atec Group, Inc.) with respect to a reverse merger transaction consummated by us in May 2003. Vuono also alleges that he is entitled to additional compensation under the agreement in respect of a $41,500 credit facility from Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. obtained by us in February 2006 and the sale for $10,000 of shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase our common stock consummated by us with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. in May 2006. The total amount of damages sought by Vuono in the action was $10,000.

(In thousands, except per share data)
By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.  The Court deferred a decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel pending a hearing and further proceedings. 

The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held a hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision. 

We believe that Vuono’s claims are without merit and we are vigorously defending the action.

In November 2006, a former employee commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 06/31481).  As of October 15, 2007, the action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, and without costs, expenses, or fees to either party. The complaint alleged violations of the New York State Human Rights Law and other unidentified rules, regulations, statutes and ordinances. 

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against us with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  We believe that the claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action.  Currently, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner subsequently held any additional payments under the Settlement until they received reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.
 
We are unaware of any other material pending or threatened legal action or proceeding against us.

ITEM 7.                 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Overview
 
Interpharm Holdings, Inc., (the "Company" or "Interpharm"), through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., ("Interpharm, Inc." and collectively with Interpharm, "we" or "us") is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. As of June 30, 2007, we manufactured and marketed 36 generic pharmaceutical products, which represent various oral dosage strengths for 11 unique products for twenty-five of these products.

As more fully described below, as a result of increased expenses and losses incurred by the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we defaulted on our credit facility with WFBC and, in November 2007, had to raise an additional $8,000 in debt financing. A complete description of the debt financing and a Forbearance Agreement with WFBC may be found below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $75,587 compared to $63,355 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $12,232 or 19%. We successfully increased sales of existing products as we continued to expand our distribution with the top tier accounts in retail, wholesale, distributor, and managed care trade classes. However, we had also anticipated launching three new generic pharmaceutical products by June 2007, all of which were delayed. These new products are currently on schedule to be launched in fiscal year ended June 2008.

Our gross margin was 28.7% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, which was somewhat improved over our 27.5% gross margin in the previous year. In the first half of fiscal 2007, we had experienced raw material supply issues, which created backorders, which were fulfilled during the second half of the fiscal year. At the same time, we encountered difficulty in forecasting new customer demand for existing product positions. In an effort to maintain satisfactory customer service levels while solving our raw material supply issues, we created an oversupply and build up of inventory levels. In addition, we lost a large purchaser of our OTC Ibuprofen product at March 31, 2007, due to the customer’s FDA regulatory problems, and the customer is no longer purchasing product from us. One result of the foregoing was a significant increase in inventory levels by June 2007.

In parallel, we continued to strengthen our employee infrastructure, particularly in areas such as regulatory affairs and cGMP compliance, and we implemented a new enterprise resource planning IT system needed to accommodate future growth. In addition, we continued spending on our generic pharmaceutical R&D programs at original planned levels. As sales were lower than anticipated, the net result was a significant operating loss for fiscal 2007 which we expect to continue through the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Coupled with the increased inventory levels, the operating losses led to a rapidly worsening cashflow situation towards the end of fiscal 2007. Subsequent to June 2007, we proceeded to identify sources of debt and equity financing which in the completion of $8,000 in subordinated debt financing transactions in November 2007 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for detailed discussion).

With respect to our research and development programs, during fiscal 2007 we filed ten ANDAs and two additional ANDAs owned by the Company but in the name of Tris Pharma. In addition during fiscal 2007, we obtained FDA approval for twelve ANDAs for five unique products which we plan to launch in FY 2008. We are now manufacturing and packaging commercial quantities of some of our current products at our Yaphank facility. The specialized facilities for oral contraceptives, soft gels and high potency products are now operational. We are commencing production of batches for use in conducting bioequivalence studies and the submissions of ANDAs.

We have continued to develop products in areas that are characterized by having high barriers to entry, i.e., related to formulation, technology, patents, analytical and dedicated facilities. We have been aggressive in advancing these high barrier product areas. While the development process has taken longer than planned, we continue to make good progress in these areas.

§
Net sales of Ibuprofen for the year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $2,687, or 7.9%, as compared to sales for the year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease is partially due to supply chain issues incurred during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and partially due to a decrease in demand for a specific strength of Ibuprofen. The decrease in demand is directly related to one of our customer’s voluntary suspension of sales of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals as a result of the FDA inspection, which was unrelated to our product. We have been working with our suppliers to obtain adequate supplies of Ibuprofen raw material. We are currently attempting to qualify an additional source of Ibuprofen, and we are making efforts to ensure that our suppliers maintain adequate levels of inventory sufficient to enable us to increase our overall production.
 
 
§
For year ended June 30, 2007 we significantly increased our market share of Sulfamethoxazole - Trimethoprim in two strengths 400mg / 80mg commonly referred to as generic Bactrim(R) and 800mg / 160mg or commonly referred to as Bactrim-DS(R) (both, “Bactrim”). Sales increased to $17,471 during the year ended June 2007 from $4,220 for the year ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of two significant factors: (i) our entering into sales and marketing arrangements with two major distributors which include net profit sharing arrangements; and (ii) favorable pricing conditions in the market.
 
 
§
Naproxen net sales for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,820 or 30%, as compared to sales for the year ended June 2006. The increase is primarily due to our success in increasing our customer base.

§
Net sales of our female hormone products for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased $3,099 or 38.3% compared to sales for the year ended June 2006 due primarily to a higher volume of units shipped during the current fiscal year. As previously reported, as a result of market conditions, on October 27, 2006, we amended our agreement with Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Centrix”). Commencing November 2006, Centrix agreed to purchase over a twelve month period, 40% more bottles than the initial year of the agreement at a discounted price with a provision for profit sharing.  Under the amended agreement, the parties shared net profits as defined in the agreement. The amendment has a one year term, after which time the original Centrix agreement shall again be in full force and effect.
 
 
§
On October 3, 2006, we entered into a termination and release agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Watson terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated as of October 14, 2003 pursuant to which we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets.  As a result of the Termination Agreement we obtained all rights to market this product. Net sales of this product for the year ended June 2007, decreased $1,360 or 36.8% to $2,334 as compared to $3,693 for the year ended June 2006. The decrease is partially due to a decrease in units shipped as well as a decrease in market prices for this product during the year ended June 2007.

 
§
As a result of our decision to halt the manufacture and sale of Allopurinol and Atenolol under a contract manufacturing agreement, our revenues for these products declined during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Both Allopurinol and Atenolol were manufactured for and shipped to one customer based on quantities ordered by that customer. Revenue from sales of Allopurinol and Atenolol decreased by $2,287 from $2,289 for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $2 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Sales of these product are included in All Other Products in the table above. The manufacturing capacity gained from the decrease in production of these two products is being used for other products. For fiscal 2008 and beyond we anticipate little or no sales of these products.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, five customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 62% of total sales. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we had four key customers which accounted for approximately 53%.

Cost of sales / Gross Profits

During year ended June 30, 2007, prices for raw materials remained relatively constant when compared to the prior year.  While no assurance can be given, we anticipate this trend to continue, at least for the near future. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we have incurred increased direct labor and supervisory salaries and related benefits associated with increased production.  As part of our expansion plan, we have continued to increase our managerial and production staff.  We believe this increase is required and should ultimately support our expansion plan. Additionally, we incurred increased general overhead costs, such as product liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, medical benefits and utilities. We believe these higher costs will likely continue for the near future.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 significantly increased by $4,239, or 24%, to $21,667, compared to $17,428 for the year ended June 30, 2006.  In addition, our gross profit percentage remained relatively consistent, increasing 1.2 percentage points from 27.5% for the year ended June 30, 2006 to 28.7% for the year ended June 30, 2007. While direct labor and most overhead expenses have increased to accommodate higher manufacturing throughput in fiscal 2007, the improvement in gross margin is primarily a function of (i) the Company selling higher margin products during the current fiscal year and (ii) greater throughput and relatively higher inventory levels as of June 30, 2007 resulting in higher absorption of labor and overhead and thus, a positive impact on cost of goods sold. 

Gross margin percentage can fluctuate as a result of many factors, such as changes in our selling price or the cost of raw materials, as well as increases in cost of labor and general overhead.  Fluctuations in our sales volume and product mix affect gross margin dollars. As part of our plan, we are seeking to add new products with higher margins, however, there can be no assurance that sales will increase or cost of sales will not increase disproportionately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, SG&A expenses increased $1,891, or 16.5% to $13,340, as compared to $11,449 during fiscal year end June 2006. When stated as a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 17.6% for the year ended June 2007 as compared to 18.1% for the year ended June 2006.

Significant factors contributing to the dollar increase in SG&A expenses include: an increase of $887 in compensation and related taxes and benefits of sales and administrative staff to support our growth; an increase in professional services of $688, of which $289 relates to costs associated with the implementation of our new ERP system and of which the remainder can be associated with management and IT consulting, an increase in depreciation of $545, primarily due to our second facility becoming operational for general and administrative purposes in July 2006; an increase in rent of $50 and utilities of $196, much of which is associated with our second facility; an increase in computer-related expenses of $202 related to the increase in the number of employees; and an increase in Board Compensation of $194 as a result of a new Board of Directors Compensation Policy. Included in SG&A expense for the fiscal year ended June 2006, was a $621 non-recurring expense related to investment banking services and a non-recurring commission expense of $460 related to a specific contract providing for commissions to one salesman during the first year of sales under a sales agreement with Centrix. The one time expenses incurred during the year ended June 2006 offset the increases noted above in SG&A expenses in the current year.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for new products currently in development in our new product pipeline consist primarily of wages, outside development organizations, bioequivalence studies, materials, legal fees, and consulting fees. Research and development expenses increased by $8,288 or 77.6% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to $18,962 as compared to $10,674 during the fiscal year ended June 2006. This represents an increase in R&D as a percentage of net sales to 25.1% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 16.8% for the fiscal year ended June 2006.

The increase was due to: higher compensation expenses of $2,324 primarily related to the expansion of analytical chemist and product formulation staff; an increase of $1,561 for legal services primarily related to patent reviews for products under development or pending launch; an increase in purchases of raw materials of $1,276 necessary for the production of trial batches of new generic pharmaceutical products; $1,128 of increased costs related to bioequivalence studies for new generic pharmaceutical products currently in development; and an increase of $749 for consulting related to new product development.

Our research and development efforts continue to focus in the areas of oral contraceptives, soft gelatin capsules and modified release products, and we are planning to commence bioequivalence studies in each of these areas by December 2007. Work is progressing well in the product area of products coming off patent. As we continue to focus in on these types of pharmaceutical products and as new products are released we anticipate a decline in our research and development costs.

As previously disclosed, during February 2005, we entered into an agreement (“Solids Agreement”), for solid dosage products (“solids”) with Tris. In July 2005, the Solids Agreement was amended. According to the terms of the Solids Agreement, as amended, we will collaborate with Tris on the development, manufacture and marketing of eight solid oral dosage generic products. The amendment to this agreement requires Tris to deliver Technical Packages for two soft-gel products and one additional solid dosage product. Some of the products included in this agreement, as amended, may require us to challenge the patents for the equivalent branded products. This agreement, as amended, provides for payments of an aggregate of $4,800 to Tris, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the solids products. The Solids Agreement also provides for an equal sharing of net profits for each product, except for one product, that is successfully sold and marketed, after the deduction and reimbursement of all litigation-related and certain other costs. The excluded product provides for a profit split of 60% for us and 40% for Tris. Further, this agreement provides us with a perpetual royalty-free license to use all technology necessary for the solid products in the United States, its territories and possessions.

In April 2006, we further amended the Solids Agreement. This second amendment required Tris to deliver a Technical Package for one additional solid dosage product. Further, terms of this second amendment required the Company to pay to Tris an additional $300 associated with the original agreement.

During October 2006, we entered into a new agreement (“New Liquids Agreement”) with Tris Pharma, Inc. (“Tris”), which terminated the agreement entered into in February 2005, which was for the development and licensing of up to twenty-five liquid generic products (“Liquids Agreement”). According to the terms of the New Liquids Agreement, Tris will, among other things, be required to develop and deliver the properties, specifications and formulations (“Product Details”) for fourteen generic liquid pharmaceutical products (“Liquid Products”). We will then utilize this information to obtain all necessary approvals. Further, under the terms of the New Liquids Agreement Tris will manufacture, package and label each product for a fee. We were required to pay Tris $1,000, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the liquid products. We have paid in full the $1,000; $250 having been paid during the term of the initial Liquids Agreement; $500 paid upon the execution of the New Liquids Agreement, and the balance of $250 paid December 15, 2006. In addition, Tris is to receive 40% of the net profits, as defined, in accordance with the terms in the New Liquids Agreement.

We further amended the Solids Agreement in October 2006, modifying the manner in which certain costs will be shared as well as clarifying the parties’ respective audit rights.

Interest Expense

Our net interest expense increased approximately $557 to approximately $1,275 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $718 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.  In an effort to fund our plan, we increased our borrowings from our credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit. The additional borrowings were required primarily to fund our research and development efforts, for renovation and construction costs incurred for our second facility and new equipment. In addition to these borrowings being in place for the entire year ended June 30, 2007, we also began to draw down from our line of credit in Q4 2007 and taken additional equipment loans. Our total outstanding debt with Wells Fargo was $26,400 at June 30, 2007 compared to $15,567 at June 30, 2006.

In addition, $87 was included in interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 related to the accreted interest on the Watson Laboratories, Inc. (“Watson”) Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) discussed below.

In order to hedge against rising interest rates, we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $10 and $98 and is included in Other Assets. However, it is likely that, as a result of additional borrowings we will incur increases in our interest expense in the future.

Contract Termination Expense

On October 3, 2006, we entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with Watson terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated October 14, 2003 (the “Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets, (the “Product”). As a result of entering into the Termination Agreement, we recorded contract termination expense of $1,655 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Operating Loss

Although our sales and gross margins increased, as a result of our increase in research and development efforts from which we believe we will see the benefits from in the future, along with increases in selling and general and administrative costs, we incurred an operating loss of $10,738 for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to an operating loss of $4,767 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

Income Taxes
 
We account for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire net deferred tax asset will not be realized. We assess realization of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Available evidence considered includes, but is not limited to, the our historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary differences and changing business circumstances. When there is a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax assets, we may adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the period when such changes occur. For the year ended June 30, 2007 increased our valuation allowance by $4,670 and we recorded income tax expense of $190 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2006, which had a benefit from income tax of $1,700.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2007 we had an accumulated deficit of $18,831 and operating activities used $14,105 of cash for the year then ended. In order to address our operating loss position and our lack of liquidity, (i) we have completed a series of banking and financing activities in October and November 2007, which are outlined below in “Subsequent Events - Banking and Financing Transactions”, and (ii) we are taking various actions to improve profitability and cash flows generated from operations, including:

 
·
Reducing headcount and other operating expenses in different functional areas where possible while still carrying out our future growth plan

 
·
Increasing revenue through the launch of new products, identifying new customers and expanding relationships with existing customers
 
 
·
Scaling back our research and development activities to levels where we can execute our overall business plan while managing the financial implications
 
While we believe that the initiatives described above will result in positive cash flows and profitability, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our cash flow and profitability goals, or that we will be able, if necessary, to raise additional capital sufficient to implement our plans. In such event, we may have to revise our plans and significantly reduce our operating expenses, which could have an adverse effect on revenue and operations in the short term.

Subsequent Events - Banking and Financing Transactions

1. On October 26, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Business Credit finalized a Forbearance Agreement that terminates on December 31, 2007, which was subsequently amended on November 12, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”). WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults based upon the Borrower’s consummation and receipt of $8,000 related to the issuance of subordinated debt described below. The parties have agreed to establish financial covenants for fiscal year 2008 prior to the conclusion of the Forbearance Period.
 
2. On November 7, 2007 and November 14, 2007, as required by the Forbearance Agreement, the Company received a total of $8,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of subordinated debt.

On November 7, 2007, Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Vimla M. Sutaria, his wife, loaned $3,000 to the Company pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due November 7, 2010 (the “Sutaria Note”). Interest of 12% per annum on the Sutaria Note is payable quarterly in arrears, and for the first 12 months of the note’s term, may be paid in cash, or additional notes (“PIK Notes”), at the option of the Company. Thereafter, the Company is required to pay at least 8% interest in cash, and the balance, at its option, in cash or PIK Notes.

Repayment of the Sutaria Notes is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the Sutaria Notes are subordinated to the liens held by WFBC and the holders of the STAR Notes described below.

On November 14, 2007, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $5,000 of Secured 12% Promissory Notes due October 1, 2009 (the “STAR Notes”) in the following amounts to the following parties:
 
Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“TD III”)
 
$
833
 
Aisling Capital II, L.P. (“Aisling”)
 
$
833
 
Cameron Reid (“Reid”)
 
$
833
 
Sutaria Family Realty, LLC (“SFR”)
 
$
2,500
 

TD III is an investor in the Company and the holder of its Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Aisling is also an investor in the Company and the holder of its Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Reid is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and SFR is owned by Company shareholders who control approximately 54% of the Company’s voting stock (the “Major Shareholders”), including Raj Sutaria, who is a Company Executive Vice President.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
Interest of 12% per annum on the STAR Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or PIK Notes. Upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval and ratification of the issuance of the STAR Note financing and making the necessary filings with the SEC in connection therewith (the “Stockholder Approval”), which is to occur no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than the later of February 28, 2008 or such later date as may be necessary to address SEC comments on the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the STAR Notes shall be exchanged for:
 
 
·
Secured Convertible 12% Promissory Notes due 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount equal to the principal and accrued interest on the STAR Notes through the date of exchange. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is to be $0.95 per share and interest is to be payable quarterly, in arrears, in either cash or PIK Notes, at the option of the Company;

 
·
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,842 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.95 per share.

Each of the Convertible Notes and Warrants are to have anti-dilution protection with respect to issuances of Common Stock, or common stock equivalents at less than $0.95 per share such that their conversion or exercise price shall be reset to a price equal to 90% of the price at which shares of Common Stock or equivalents are deemed to have been issued.

The repayment of the STAR and Convertible Notes is secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the STAR Note financing liens are subordinate to those of WFBC, but ahead, in priority, of the Sutaria Notes.

Also, upon the Company obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock held by TD III and Aisling shall be exchangeable for shares of a new Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which shall be substantially similar to the B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock other than the Conversion price which is to be $0.95 per share instead of $1.5338 per share.

3.  Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements for the Company’s Series B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the consent of TD III and Aisling was required for the issuance of the Sutaria Notes and for the STAR Note financing. In consideration for that consent, the Company has agreed to exchange 2,282 warrants to purchase Company Common Stock held by each of TD III and Aisling with an exercise price of $1.639 per share for new warrants with an exercise price of $0.95 per share. In addition, the Major Shareholders have agreed to give TD III and Aisling tag along rights on certain sales of Company common stock.

Our operations and capital expenditures have been financed through cash flows from operations and the WFBC Credit Facility. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $14,105 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $801 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Significant factors comprising the net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 include: net loss of $14,058, increase in inventory of $9,747, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $3,399, partially offset by a decrease of $1,212 in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5,416. Inventory levels increased significantly due to several factors, as discussed below in “Inventory”. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables primarily relates to the increase in purchased inventory items and the overall increase in operating expenses, primarily related to higher research and development costs.

We also recognized several non-cash charges: depreciation and amortization of $2,554, contract termination expense of $1,655 (related to termination of the agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals), stock-based compensation expense (in accordance with SFAS 123 (R)) amounting to $1,070, a lower of cost or market write down of inventory of $1,157 and deferred tax expense of $195.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we used funds in investing activities of $8,296 compared to $8,142 used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. These amounts primarily related to capital expenditures of $8,003 in fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for new machinery, equipment and building renovations as compared to $6,833 of capital expenditures in the prior year. We continue to invest in and develop our Yaphank, NY facility; $4,345 of the total $8,003 in capital expenditures was invested there primarily for purchases of machinery and equipment and building improvements. Most of our research and development activity is conducted there and, as previously reported, we commenced packaging and some manufacturing following an FDA inspection in February 2007. As previously disclosed, we elected not to move forward with the planned construction of a research and development facility in Ahmedabad, India, and on April 25, 2007, we completed the sale of our subsidiary, Interpharm Development Private Limited (“IDPL”) located in Ahmedabad, India to an entity partially owned by two officers of the Company for $161. 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, net cash of $21,035 was provided by financing activities primarily related to (i) the sale of $10,000 of our Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock in September 2006, which generated $9,993 of cash, and (ii) $9,866 in proceeds from drawdown of the WFBC revolving credit facility.

At June 30, 2007, we had $72 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,438 at June 30, 2006.
 
Bank Financing
On February 9, 2006, we entered into a four-year financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“the WFBC Credit Facility”). This financing agreement provided a maximum credit facility of $41,500 comprised of:

· $22,500 revolving credit facility
· $12,000 real estate term loan
· $ 3,500 machinery and equipment (“M&E”) term loan
· $ 3,500 additional / future capital expenditure facility

The funds made available through this facility paid down, in its entirety, the $20,450 owed on the previous credit facility. The WFBC revolving credit facility borrowing base is calculated as (i) 85% of our eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 50% of cost or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of its eligible inventory. The advances pertaining to inventory are capped at the lesser of 100% of the advance from accounts receivable or $9,000. As of June 30, 2007, our remaining availability under the revolving credit facility was $6,708. The $12,000 loan for the real estate in Yaphank, NY is payable in equal monthly installments of $67 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. As of June 30, 2007, the real estate loan balance outstanding was $10,933. The $3,500 M&E loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $58 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we borrowed $2,780 under the second capital expenditure facility for the cost of new equipment, and such borrowings are being amortized over 60 months. As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate balance outstanding for both M&E term loans was $5,601, and there was approximately $150 available for additional capital expenditure borrowings.

Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom is an Executive Vice President, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. We were required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholder’s pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon our raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of our sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock in May 2006, the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. Then, in September 2006, our sale of $10,000 Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

The revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at a rate of the prime rate less 0.5% or, at our option, LIBOR plus 250 basis points. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate on this debt was 7.75%. Pursuant to the requirements of the WFBC agreement, we put in place a lock-box arrangement and we incur a fee of 25 basis points per annum on any unused amounts of this credit facility. The WFBC credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets.

In addition, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2007, we were not in compliance with several covenants, as described above in “Subsequent Events -

Banking and Financing Transactions”, and we have received a waiver of these defaults from WFBC.

With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, we entered into interest rate swap contracts (the “swaps”), whereby we pay a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 was approximately $10 and is included in Other Assets.

As previously disclosed, we entered into agreements with Tris for the development and delivery of over thirty new Technical Packages. The combined costs of these two agreements will approximate $5,800, of which we have paid $5,425 as of June 30, 2007. The balance on the solids agreement, as amended, of $375 could be paid within two years if all milestones are reached. There is no outstanding balance to be paid related to the liquid agreement as of June 30, 2007.

Future cash flows could be aided by utilization of our available Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). At June 30, 2007 we have remaining Federal NOLs of approximately $32,250 available through 2027. As of June 30, 2007, as a result of changes in New York state law, the benefit of the future utilization of State NOLs has been eliminated. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of the Federal NOLs is limited. As a result of losses incurred in fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which indicate uncertainty as to our ability to generate future taxable income, the “more-likely-than-not” standard has not been met and therefore some amount of the Company’s deferred tax asset may not be realized. As such, a valuation allowance of $5,554 has been established decreasing the total accumulated net deferred tax asset of $11,529 to $5,975.

In addition, at June 30, 2007, we have approximately $986 of New York State investment tax credit carryforwards, expiring in various years through 2022. These carryforwards are available to reduce future New York State income tax liabilities. However, we reserved 100% of the investment tax credit carryforward, which we do not anticipate utilizing.

Watson Termination Agreement

On October 3, 2006, we entered into a termination and release agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Watson Laboratories, Inc. (“Watson”) terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated October 14, 2003 (the “Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which the we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets, (the “Product”). Watson was required to return all rights and agreements to us thereby enabling us to market the Product. Further, Watson was required to turn over to us its current customer list for this Product and agreed that, for a period of six months from closing, neither Watson nor any of its affiliates is to solicit sales for this product from its twenty largest customers. In accordance with the Termination Agreement, Watson returned approximately $141 of the Product and then we in turn invoiced Watson $42 for repacking.  The net affect was a reduction of $99 to our net sales during the year ended June 30, 2007. In consideration of the termination of Watson’s rights under the Supply Agreement, the we are to pay Watson $2,000 payable at the rate of $500 per year over four years from the first anniversary of the effective date of the termination agreement. Upon entering the Termination Agreement, we determined the net present value of the obligation and accordingly increased Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and Contract termination liability by $367 and $1,287, respectively. The imputed interest of $345 will be amortized over the remaining life of the obligation using the effective interest rate method. At June 30, 2007, contract termination liability of $386 and $1,356 are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and Contract termination liability, respectively.

Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 was $12,945 as compared to $14,212 at June 30, 2006. The average annual turnover ratio of accounts receivable to net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 5.5 and 5.7 turns, respectively. Our turns are calculated on an annual average. Our accounts receivable continue to have minimal risk with respect to bad debts; however this trend cannot be assured.

Inventory
At June 30, 2007, our inventory was $17,295 as compared to $8,706 at June 30, 2006. Our turnover of inventory for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 4.15 and 5.20, respectively. Our inventory is current; there are no reserves for obsolescence. Our inventory levels have risen in order to support our growth and overall customer demands.

The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories to a lower of cost or market basis for inventory whose net book value is in excess of market. Aggregate reductions in the carrying value with respect to inventories still on hand at June 30, 2007 that were determined to have a carrying value in excess of market was $1,157. As a result, the Company reduced the net book value of inventory on hand by this amount during the year ended June 30, 2007.

Accounts Payable
Our accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by approximately $5,892 to $18,542 at June 30, 2007 from $12,650 at June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of a $3,791 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses related to raw material purchases, which is partially the result of the timing of the receipt of $920 in raw materials at year-end; and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $935 pertaining to research and development costs, of which $580 of the increase related to legal fees in this area. Additionally, the increase is partially attributable to liabilities incurred in relation to fixed asset additions, specifically, the Company has approximately $516 included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2007 related to the acquisition of our new ERP system.

Cash
During the year ended June 30, 2007, cash decreased $1,366 from $1,438 at June 30, 2006 to $72 at June 30, 2007. For the year ended June 30, 2007 we funded our business from bank debt, operations and sale of Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock.

Leases

We lease an entire building in Hauppauge, New York, pursuant to a non-cancellable lease expiring in October, 2019, which houses our manufacturing, warehousing and some executive offices. The leased building is approximately 100 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $660. Sutaria Family Realty, LLC is owned by Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria and Raj Sutaria. Upon a change in ownership of the Company, and every three years thereafter, the annual base rent will be adjusted to fair market value, as determined by an independent appraisal. There are no tenants in the building other than us.In January 2007 the Company entered into a seven year lease for approximately 20 square feet of office space. The lease provides us an option to extend the lease for a period of three years. According to the terms of the lease the base annual rental for the first year will be $261 and will increase by 3% annually thereafter. Further, the Company is required to pay for renovations to the facility, currently estimated at approximately $300.

Net Sales

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were $63,355 compared to $39,911 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $23,444 or 58.7%. Significant components contributing to our growth of existing products were those set forth in the table below:

§
The increase in net sales of Ibuprofen was primarily the result of an expanded customer base and improvements in manufacturing and packaging which enabled us to increase output and modest cost of materials reductions.

 
§
An expanded customer base, as well as obtaining a U.S. Government contract to supply Naproxen to various governmental agencies valued at approximately $3,900 for the twelve month period beginning September 2005 were key factors contributing to the $7,721 increase in sales of Naproxen. The contract includes four one-year option periods.
 
 
§
On a fiscal year over year basis, we had an increase of more than $1,166 from sales of Hydrocodone 7.5 mg/Ibuprofen 200 mg, our generic version of Vicoprofen(R), which was launched during the three month period ended December 31, 2004, and Reprexain(R) (Hydrocodone 5.0 mg/Ibuprofen 200 mg). The results for the periods reported include additional revenue derived from a profit sharing arrangement for these products.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we began to see the positive effects of our expansion plan which commenced in 2005. Two new products were launched which contributed greatly to our revenue growth. As we continue our planned product line expansion we anticipate that fiscal year 2007 should witness the launching of new products as well; however there can be no assurance we will be successful in achieving our plan. The two new products for fiscal 2006 were:
 
 
§
As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Centrix Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Centrix”) for the sale of a female hormone product, which is distributed in two strengths. This product generates a higher gross margin compared to our other products. The agreement commenced upon the first shipment of the product to Centrix in August, 2005. Centrix was required to purchase a minimum $11,500 of the product during the first twelve month period with the option to purchase an additional $2,000 of product. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, we shipped approximately $8,100 of the female hormone product to Centrix. We will ship approximately $5,400 of product by September 30, 2006. We have renegotiated the agreement with Centrix for the up coming year and we anticipated sales during fiscal 2007 of the product to exceed fiscal year 2006 totals. In the event that the agreement is terminated at any time, or for any reason, we maintain the right to market the product alone or with a third party.

§
In September, 2005, we launched Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim (“SMT”) single and double strength tablets, which are sold by the innovator under the brand-name Bactrim(R). SMT is a widely used antibiotic used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, bronchitis, ear infections (otitis), traveler's diarrhea, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Sales during fiscal 2006 of these products approximated $4,200.

As a result of our decision to greatly reduce and ultimately halt the manufacture and sale of Allopurinol and Atenolol under a contract manufacturing agreement, our revenues for these products declined during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Both Allopurinol and Atenolol were manufactured for and shipped to one customer based on quantities ordered by that customer. Revenue from sales of Allopurinol and Atenolol decreased by approximately $4,700 from $7,100 for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $2,400 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The manufacturing capacity gained from the decrease in production of these two products is being used for other products.

The fluctuations in revenue by product were generally not attributable to any changes in our pricing which, for our entire product line, remained relatively stable.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, four key customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 53% of total sales. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 we had three key customers which accounted for approximately 56%

Cost of sales / Gross Profits

During the year ended June 30, 2006, prices for our raw materials remained relatively constant. While no assurance could be given, we anticipated this trend to continue, at least for the near future. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, prices for packaging components increased. It is uncertain as to whether or not these costs will continue to rise. We have incurred increased direct labor and supervisory salaries and related benefits associated with increased production. As part of our expansion plan, we have increased managerial and production staff. We believed this increase is required and should ultimately support our expansion plan. Additionally, incurred increased general overhead costs, such as product liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, medical benefits and utilities.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 significantly increased $8,356, or 92%, to $17,428, compared to $9,072 for the year ended June 30, 2005.  In addition, our gross profit percentage increased 4.8 percentage points from 22.7% for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 27.5% for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to sales of our new products: Bactrim(R) and our female hormone therapy products which both generate higher gross margins compared to our remaining products. Gross margins for the remaining products were generally consistent with the prior year.

Gross margin percentage can fluctuate as a result of many factors, such as changes in our selling price or the cost of raw materials, as well as increases in cost of labor and general overhead. Fluctuations in our sales volume and product mix affect gross margin dollars. As part of our plan, we are seeking to add new products with higher margins, however, there can be no assurance that sales will increase or cost of sales will not increase disproportionately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $6,357 to approximately $11,449, or 18.1% of net sales from approximately $5,092 or 12.8% of net sales, during fiscal year end June 30, 2005.

Significant factors contributing to this increase include: necessary increases in the staffing of administrative and sales areas to support our growth of $1,954; related payroll taxes and benefits of $496; increased commission expenses and freight expenses of $314 and $234, respectively, both of which are attributable to our higher sales; $600 for investment banking services; increased accounting and legal costs of $284, primarily related to the refinancing of our bank debt and sale of our Series B-1 preferred stock; an increase in general insurance of $229; increased rent, utilities and taxes of $200; an increase in depreciation of non-manufacturing assets of $105; and the recognition of a non cash charge of $1,195` as a result of our adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Included in the $1,195 was a non-cash charge related to the modification of an option grant as a result the death of an executive officer. Adoption of SFAS 123(R) requires us to report a non-cash expense for the ratable portion of the fair value of employee stock option awards of unvested stock options over the remaining vesting period. Previously we elected to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for our stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for new products currently in development in our new product pipeline consist primarily of wages, outside development organizations, bioequivalence studies, materials, legal fees, and consulting fees. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we incurred $10,674 in research and development expenses, which is $6,671 greater than the prior year amount of $4,003. We believe that research and development expenses, as a percentage of our net sales, will be substantially higher in the future as we seek to expand our product lines. While we believed increased spending for research and development efforts will allow us to add obtain approvals for new products, there can be no assurance we will be successful in the commercialization.

A significant component of our expansion plan includes two agreements with Tris Pharma, Inc. (“Tris”). One of the agreements is for the development and licensing of twenty-five liquid generic products (“Liquids Agreement”). In the event that Tris delivers twenty-five successful technical packages, of which there can be no assurance, we will be required to pay Tris $3,000.

In accordance with the terms of this agreement, we make payments as various milestones are achieved. In addition, Tris is to receive a royalty of between 10% and 12% of net profits resulting from the sales of each product. We are entitled to offset the royalty payable to Tris each year, at an agreed upon rate, to recoup the development fees paid to Tris under the Liquids Agreement.

The second agreement, as amended, pertains to the solid dosage products (“solids”), pursuant to which we are to collaborate with Tris on the development, manufacture and marketing of eight solid oral dosage generic products. The amendment to this agreement requires Tris to deliver technical packages for two softgel products. Further, the terms of this amendment require us pay to Tris $750 based upon various Tris milestone achievements. Some products included in this agreement, as amended, may require us to challenge the patents for the equivalent branded products. This agreement, as amended, provides for payments of an aggregate of $4,500 to Tris, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the solids products. The agreement for solids also provides for an equal sharing of net profits for each product, except for one product, if it is successfully sold and marketed, after the deduction and reimbursement of all litigation-related and certain other costs. The excluded product provides for a profit split of 60% for the Company and 40% for Tris. Further, this agreement provides us with a perpetual royalty-free license to use all technology necessary for the solid products in the United States, its territories and possessions.

In April, 2006, the solids agreement was further amended. This second amendment requires Tris to deliver a Technical Package for one additional solid dosage product. Further, terms of this second amendment will requires us to pay to Tris an additional $300 after it has paid the initial aggregate amounts associated to the original agreement.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we recorded as a research and development expense approximately $2,110 in connection with these agreements. Further, since inception, we have incurred approximately $3,510 of research and development costs associated with the Tris agreements. The combined costs of these agreements could aggregate up to $7,800. The balance on the liquid agreement of $2,750 could be paid within three years if all milestones are reached. The balance on the solids agreement, as amended, of $1,675 could be paid within two years if all milestones are reached.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we filed seventeen ANDAs.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense, net increased approximately $583 to approximately $718 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 from $136 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. In an effort to fund our plan, in February, 2006, we increased our borrowing capabilities through a new credit facility entered into with Wells Fargo Business Credit. The additional borrowings were required primarily to fund our research and development efforts, for renovation and construction costs incurred for our second facility and new equipment. In order to hedge against rising interest rates, we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements. As of June 30, 2006, we have saved approximately $98 as a result of these swaps agreements.

Operating Loss

Although our sales and gross margins increased, as a result of our increase in research and development efforts from which we believe we will see the benefits from in the future, along with increases in selling and general and administrative costs, we incurred an operating loss of $5,490 for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to an operating loss of $222 for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Income Taxes
 
For the year ended June 30, 2006 we recorded an income tax benefit of $1,700, an increase in the benefit of $1,627 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 which had a benefit from income tax of $73.

We account for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Our net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2006 was $6,170 and $4,413 at June 30, 2005.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate judgments and estimates made, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, income taxes and contingencies including litigation. We base our judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We consider the following accounting policies to be most critical in understanding the more complex judgments that are involved in preparing its financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for chargebacks and other sales allowances including discounts, rebates, etc., are reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to revenues.

We purchased raw materials from one supplier for the year ended June 30, 2007 and two suppliers for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to this supplier as well as to other customers. We can, and do, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force, (“EITF”) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the Company recorded sales to, and purchases from, this supplier on a gross basis. Sales and purchases were recorded on a gross basis since we (i) have a risk of loss associated with the raw materials purchased, (ii) convert the raw material into a finished product based upon developed specifications, (iii) have other sources of supply of the raw material, and (iv) have credit risk related to the sale of such product to the suppliers. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we purchased raw materials from this supplier totaling approximately $10,714, and sold finished goods to this supplier totaling approximately $1,054. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we purchased raw materials from two suppliers, which were manufactured into finished goods and sold back to these suppliers totaling approximately $10,608 and $9,251, respectively, and sold finished goods to such suppliers totaling approximately $6,110, and $17,414, respectively. These purchase and sales transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”.

In addition, we are party to supply agreements with certain pharmaceutical companies under which, in addition to the selling price of the product, we receive payments based on sales or profits associated with these products realized by its customer. We recognize revenue related to the initial selling price upon shipment of the products as the selling price is fixed and determinable and no right of return exists. The additional revenue component of these agreement’s are recognized by us at the time our customers record their sales and is based on pre-defined formulas contained in the agreements. Receivables related to this revenue of $594 and $620 and at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales Returns and Allowances

At the time of sale, we simultaneously record estimates for various costs, which reduce product sales. These costs include estimates of chargebacks and other sales allowances. In addition, we record an allowance for rebates, including Medicaid rebates and shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are appropriate. Estimates for sales allowances such as chargebacks are based on a variety of factors including actual return experience of that product or similar products, rebate arrangements for each product, and estimated sales by our wholesale customers to other third parties who have contracts with us. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be different than our estimates. We regularly review the factors that influence our estimates and, if necessary, make adjustments when we believe that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves.

Sales Incentives

In accordance with the terms and conditions of an agreement entered into during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we have offered a sales incentive to one of our customers in the form of an incentive volume price adjustment. We account for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor's Products)" (“EITF 01-9”). The terms of this volume based sales incentive required the customer to purchase a minimum quantity of our products during a specified period of time. The incentive offered was based upon a fixed dollar amount per unit sold to the customer. We made an estimate of the ultimate amount of the incentive the customer would earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. We had the ability to estimate this volume incentive price adjustment, as there did not exist a relatively long period of time for the particular adjustment to be earned. Any change in the estimated amount of the volume incentive was recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. In accordance with EITF 01-9, we recorded the provision for this sales incentive when the related revenue is recognized. Our sales incentive liability may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for these arrangements. Therefore, although we make our best estimate of our sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of our customer, could have significant impact on the our liability for sales incentives and our reported operating results. The specific terms of this agreement which related to sales incentives expired in October 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we recognized sales incentive revenue of $3,399 related to this agreement.

Inventory

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Losses from the write-down of damaged, nonusable, or otherwise nonsalable inventories are recorded in the period in which they occur.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Our net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2007 was $5,975 and $6,170 at June 30, 2006.

Research and Development

Pursuant to SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” research and development costs are expensed as incurred or at the date payment of non-refundable amounts become due, whichever occurs first. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, raw materials used specifically in the development of its new products and bioequivalence studies. Pre-approved milestone payments due under contract research and development arrangements are expensed when the milestone is achieved.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result, our net income before taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are $1,070 and $1,195 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). 

Accounts Receivable / Chargebacks
Accounts receivable are comprised of amounts owed to us through the sales of our products throughout the United States. These accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, discounts, rebates and customer chargebacks. Allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $30 and $101 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts, in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Allowances relating to discounts, rebates, and customer chargebacks were $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. We sell some of our products indirectly to various government agencies referred to below as “indirect customers.” We enter into agreements with our indirect customers to establish pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these agreed-upon prices. We will provide credit to the selected wholesaler for the difference between the agreed-upon price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler’s invoice price if the price sold to the indirect customer is lower than the direct price to the wholesaler. This credit is called a chargeback. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our wholesale customers to the indirect customers, and estimated wholesaler inventory levels. As sales to the large wholesale customers increase, the reserve for chargebacks will also generally increase. However, the size of the increase depends on the product mix. We continually monitor the reserve for chargebacks and make adjustments to the reserve as deemed necessary. Actual chargebacks may differ from estimated reserves.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus in EITF Issue 06-6 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“EITF 06-6”).  EITF 06-6 addresses the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,”.  The consensus should be applied to modifications or exchanges of debt instruments occurring in interim or annual periods beginning after November 29, 2006.  The adoption of EITF 06-6 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“EITF 06-7”). At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) 133, based on the application of EITF 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Under EITF 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under FAS 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to stockholders’ equity. EITF 06-7 should be applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in FAS 133 in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the effective date of EITF 06-7. Earlier application of EITF 06-7 is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of EITF 06-7 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 ''Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140'' (''SFAS 155''). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No.109”). Specifically, FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods of income taxes, as well as the required disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 permits the choice of the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, with changes in fair value recorded in income, for the subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The statement is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this statement will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It codifies the definitions of fair value included in other authoritative literature; clarifies and, in some cases, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements; and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to (and amends) the provisions of existing authoritative literature, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This statement will be effective for the our fiscal year beginning July 2008. We are evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in
quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”    Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides clarification surrounding the accounting for nonrefundable research and development advance payments, whereby such payments should be recorded as an asset when the advance payment is made and recognized as an expense when the research and development activities are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2007. We record these advance payments in accordance with EITF 07-3 and therefore does not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Issue and Uncertainties

Risk of Product Liability Claims

The testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products subject us to the risk of product liability claims. We believe that we maintain an adequate amount of product liability insurance, but no assurance can be given that such insurance will cover all existing and future claims or that we will be able to maintain existing coverage or obtain additional coverage at reasonable rates.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
 
As of this filing, our principal financial instrument is a $41,500 credit facility, consisting of a real property mortgage of $12,000, two machinery and equipment lines aggregating $7,000 and a revolving credit line of a maximum of $22,500, subject to a certain asset levels. Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom was, at the time, our Chief Operating Officer, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. We were required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholder’s pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of the sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock in May 2006, the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. In September, 2006 we consummated a $10,000 sale of a Series C-1 Convertible preferred stock, which eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

At June 30, 2007, total obligations to our bank pertaining to the credit facility described above were: (i) $9,866 related to the WFBC line of credit; (ii) approximately $10,933 real property term loan; and (ii) $5,601 owing on the machinery and equipment lines.

With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, we entered into interest rate swap contract (the “swaps”), whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 was approximately $10 and is included in Other Assets

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives.

At the conclusion of the period ended June 30, 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in this report.

In July 2007, the Company implemented an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation involves enhancements in business processes and significant improvements to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In addition to expanding and improving access to information, we believe the new ERP system will provide a standard scalable information platform to accommodate our current business growth plan.

Code of Ethics 
 
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. The Code of Ethics is available at the Company’s website, www.interpharminc.com.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Experts

The Board of Directors created an audit committee in 1994. The audit committee is comprised of three directors: Kennith Johnson, Stewart Benjamin and David Reback. The audit committee is responsible for reviewing reports of financial results, audits, internal controls, and adherence to its Business Conduct Guidelines in compliance with federal procurement laws and regulations. The committee also recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of our outside auditors and reviews their procedures for ensuring their independence with respect to the services performed for us.

We believe that Kennith Johnson and Stewart Benjamin qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Rule 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 11.  COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Introduction and Corporate Governance 

Our Compensation Committee (which is referred to herein as the “Committee” or as the “Compensation Committee”) oversees and administers our executive compensation programs. The Committee’s complete roles and responsibilities are set forth in the written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found at www.interpharminc.com under “Corporate Governance.” The Board of Directors selected the following four individuals to serve on the Committee in November, 2006: Richard J. Miller (Chair), Kennith Johnson, David Reback and Joan Neuscheler. All of these individuals, with the exception of Richard J. Miller, qualify as an independent director under the rules of the American Stock Exchange.
 
The Committee meets at regularly scheduled times during the year and on an ad hoc basis as business needs necessitate. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Committee met for three regularly scheduled meetings and held two ad hoc meeting. As part of his duties as the Committee Chair, Mr. Miller reports on Committee actions and recommendations to the Board of Directors.

The Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook and Associates (“FW Cook”) as outside advisors to the Committee. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and provides guidance on matters including trends in executive and non-employee director compensation, the development of specific executive compensation programs and other matters as directed by the Committee. FW Cook does not provide any other services to the Company.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives 

Our compensation program for the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”) is designed and implemented based on our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. Our compensation committee’s current intent is to perform an annual strategic review of our executive officers’ compensation to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation and whether they adequately compensate our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives. We strive to adhere to this philosophy by significantly differentiating the pay and rewards of our executive officers based on their demonstrated performance and potential to contribute to the long-term success of the Company. Competing for talent in the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive pharmaceutical industry is both challenging and critical to our success. The quality of the Company’s talent is a key driver of long-term stockholder value. Establishing and maintaining executives’ long-term commitment to us is critical to the development of our product pipeline, as development of new products often takes three years or more, and time to market is critical to our business success.

71

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
We have established a total rewards framework that supports our compensation philosophy through the following objectives:
 
     
 
• 
to afford our executives a competitive total rewards opportunity relative to organizations with which we compete for executive talent,
 
   
 
• 
to allow us to attract and retain superior, experienced people who can perform and succeed in our fast-paced, dynamic and challenging environment,
 
   
 
• 
to support our meritocracy by ensuring that our top performers receive rewards that are substantially greater than those received by average performers at the same position level, and
 
   
 
• 
to deliver pay in a cost efficient manner that aligns employees’ rewards with stockholders’ long-term interests.
 
What is our compensation program designed to reward? 

The compensation program is designed to reward superior financial, strategic and operational performance that is achieved in a manner consistent with the Company’s values. Results and how the results are attained are both critically important. Our executive officers are assessed on the basis of demonstrated results relative to pre-established goals, ability to address market changes in a timely and efficient manner, as well as demonstrated competencies and behavioral attributes.

Compensation Program Elements and Pay Level Determination 

What factors are considered in determining the amounts of compensation? 

The Committee has formalized a review process for the determination of base salaries, annual incentive targets and payments, and long-term incentive targets and awards for all executive officers. For the year ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in the base salary or any annual cash incentive and long-term incentive award determinations for the Chief Executive Officer.

As part of this review process, the CEO presents to the Committee individual assessments of each executive officer’s performance over the prior year, as well as recommended compensation actions for each executive officer. The performance assessments for executive officers include performance relative to established goals, overall leadership effectiveness, impact across the organization and performance and impact relative to other executive officers.
 
Formal goal setting is critical to ensuring that our compensation program rewards each executive based on his or her success relative to the specific objectives for his or her role. All Company senior managers are subject to annual goal setting, as well as annual performance reviews. The key metrics we use to measure performance differ by individual, but can be grouped into the following categories:

72



INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
 
• 
Financial — we evaluate measures of Company financial performance, including revenue growth, gross margins, operating margins and other measures such as expense management.
 
   
 
• 
Strategic — we monitor the success of our executive team in furthering the strategic success of the Company, including the development of the Company’s product pipeline.
 
   
 
• 
Operational — we include operational measures in our determination of success, including our production capacity and capability, the timeliness and effectiveness of new product launches, the execution of important internal Company initiatives and customer growth and retention.
 
The Committee considers the totality of the information presented (including external competitiveness, the performance review, Company performance, progress towards strategic objectives and internal equity) and applies its knowledge and discretion to determine the compensation for each executive officer.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company targeted its compensation at the median of its market peers, which are defined in the next section. The actual compensation level for each executive officer may be above or below median depending on factors such as Company performance, individual performance, skills/capabilities, overall impact/contribution, experience in position, “premiums” initially required to attract the executive and internal equity.

What external market peer group is used for comparison, and how is it established? 

The Company’s peer group is comprised of: (1) a named set of companies for which executive compensation data from public filings is compiled and analyzed; and (2) a somewhat broader set of companies participating in benchmark compensation surveys from which executive compensation data is compiled and analyzed by our compensation advisor.

The named peer group is reviewed annually by the Committee for appropriateness, considering such factors as size (e.g., revenue and market capitalization), complexity (e.g., multiple marketed products), geographic scope of operations (e.g., domestic-only presence), etc. The named peer group for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 includes:
 
Arqule
 
Hi Tech Phamacal
 
Quigley
 
Caraco
Bentley Pharmaceuticals
 
Inspire Pharmaceutical
 
Saviant
 
Theragenics
Bradley Pharmaceuticals
 
Lannett
 
Supergen
 
 
 
The compensation surveys used in analyzing our external competitiveness include data from a broader set of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that this broader set of companies is representative of our competitive market for executive officers. These compensation surveys provide reliable data to complement the data collected from executive compensation disclosures of our named peer group.

73

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
What is each element of compensation and why is it paid? 

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed with three elements (discussed in detail below), each of which serves an important role in supporting Interpharm’s pay-for-performance philosophy and in realizing our compensation program objectives:
 
Element 
 
Role and Purpose 
 
   
Base Salary
 
• Provide a stable source of income that facilitates the attraction and recognition of the acquired skills and contributions of executives in the day-to-day management of our business.
Long-term Incentives
 
• Align executive interests with those of stockholders.
 
 
• Promote long-term retention and stock ownership, and hold executives accountable for enhancing stockholder value.
 
 
• Enable the delivery of competitive compensation opportunities in a manner that balances cost efficiency with perceived value.
Benefits & Perquisites
 
• Provide programs that promote health, wellness and financial security.
 
 
• Provide executive benefits and perquisites at or below market competitive levels.
 
While the general mix of the elements is considered in the design of our total compensation program, the Committee does not target a specific mix of pay in either its program design or in its compensation determinations. By design, our executive officers have more variability than non-executives in their compensation, to more closely tie their compensation to the Company’s overall performance.

Base Salary
 
We pay our executive officers base salaries to provide a baseline level of compensation that is both competitive with the external market and commensurate with each employee’s past performance, experience, responsibilities and skills. The Company generally targets base salaries around the median of our external market peers. In making its base salary determinations, the Committee takes into account the internal and external factors described above. Base salary increases from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for our named executive officers averaged 2% and ranged from 0% to 5%. The Company’s CEO received a 0% increase in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Long-term Incentives
 
A long-term incentive (“LTI”) opportunity has been designed for managers to foster a culture of ownership, align compensation with stockholder interests and promote long-term retention and affiliation with the organization. The Committee has determined the types of awards to be used for delivering long-term incentives. In doing so, the Committee considered the ability of each type of award to achieve key compensation objectives (such as employee retention, motivation and attraction), the needs of the business, competitive market practices, dilution and expense constraints, as well as tax and accounting implications.

74

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Committee evaluated various program designs and approved a program awarding stock options for our executive officers. Stock options promote stockholder alignment and accountability and are qualified as performance-based pay under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Our 2007 stock option grants vest over four years.

Tax-deductibility of Compensation 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits to $1 million the amount a company may deduct for compensation paid to its CEO or any of its other four named executive officers. This limitation does not, however, apply to compensation meeting the definition of “qualifying performance-based” compensation.

Management works with the Committee to assess alternatives to preserve the deductibility under Section 162(m) of compensation payments to the extent reasonably practicable, consistent with our compensation policies and as determined to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company believes that the Compensation payments will meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits 

In addition to participating in the benefit programs provided to all other employees (for example, medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, employee stock purchase plan), we provide certain perquisites and additional benefits to executives. These supplemental benefits and perquisites include:
 
 
 
· Auto Allowances The Company provided annual car allowance benefits to executive officers and certain management personnel. Such reimbursement is considered taxable income to the recipients.
 
· Mobile Telephone Allowance: The Company provided monthly mobile telephone allowance benefits to executive officers and certain management personnel. Such reimbursement is considered taxable income to the recipients.
 
   
 
   

Retirement Plans 

We maintain a pre-tax savings plan covering substantially all employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, eligible employees, including executive management, may contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary, subject to certain limitations. The Company contributes and matches 100% of the employee pre-tax contributions, up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus 50% of pre-tax contributions that exceed 3% of compensation, but not to exceed 5% of compensation. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions in its discretion which would be allocated among all eligible employees, whether or not they make contributions.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Lease

Our 100 square foot facility at 75 Adams Avenue in Hauppauge, New York is owned by Sutaria Family Realty, LLC which is owned by Perry Sutaria, Raj Sutaria and Mona Rametra. Interpharm, Inc. is obligated to pay minimum annual rent of $660, plus property taxes, insurance, maintenance and other expenses related to the leased facility.

Investment in APR, LLC.
 
In February and April 2005, we purchased 5.0 Class A membership interests (“Interests”) from each of Cameron Reid (“Reid”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and John Lomans (“Lomans”), who has no affiliation with us, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,023 (including costs of $23) of APR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company primarily engaged in the development of complex bulk pharmaceutical products (“APR”). The purchases were made pursuant to separate Class A Membership Interest Purchase Agreements dated February 16, 2005 between us and Reid and Lomans (the “Purchase Agreements”). At the time of the purchases, Reid and Lomans owned all of the outstanding Class A membership interests of APR, which had outstanding 100 Class A membership interests and 100 Class B membership interests. The two classes of membership interests have different economic and voting rights, and the Class A members have the right to make most operational decisions. The Class B interests are held by one of our major customers and suppliers. As a result, we currently own 10 Interests out of the 100 Interests now outstanding.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements, we have granted to Reid and Lomans each a proxy to vote 5 of the Interests owned by us on all matters on which the holders of Interests may vote. Our Board of Directors approved the purchases of Interests at a meeting held on February 15, 2005, based on an analysis and advice from an independent investment banking firm. Reid did not participate during the deliberations on this matter. We are accounting for our investment in APR pursuant to the cost method of accounting.

Purchase from APR, LLC

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company placed an order valued at $160 for a certain raw material from APR. The Company currently purchases the same raw material from an overseas supplier at a price 37% greater than the price APR is currently willing to offer. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. Supply of this raw material is being coordinated with the Company’s requirement projections for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has advanced $80 to APR in connection with this order.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Audit Committee of
Interpharm Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data)
 
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business
Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Interpharm, Inc., is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products for wholesale distribution throughout the United States.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for chargebacks and other sales allowances including discounts, rebates, etc., are reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to revenues. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating to the above provisions of $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company purchased raw materials from one supplier for the year ended June 30, 2007 and two suppliers for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to this supplier as well as to other customers. The Company can, and does, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force, (“EITF”) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the Company recorded sales to, and purchases from, this supplier on a gross basis. Sales and purchases were recorded on a gross basis since the Company (i) has a risk of loss associated with the raw materials purchased, (ii) converts the raw material into a finished product based upon Company developed specifications, (iii) has other sources of supply of the raw material, and (iv) has credit risk related to the sale of such product to the suppliers. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company purchased raw materials from this supplier totaling approximately $10,714, and sold finished goods to this supplier totaling approximately $1,054. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company purchased raw materials from two suppliers, which were manufactured into finished goods and sold back to these suppliers totaling approximately $10,608 and $9,251, respectively, and sold finished goods to such suppliers totaling approximately $6,110, and $17,414, respectively. These purchase and sales transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”.

In addition, the Company is party to supply agreements with certain pharmaceutical companies under which, in addition to the selling price of the product, the Company receives payments based on sales or profits associated with these products realized by its customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to the initial selling price upon shipment of the products as the selling price is fixed and determinable and no right of return exists. The additional revenue component of these agreements are recognized by the Company at the time its customers record their sales and is based on pre-defined formulas contained in the agreements. Receivables related to this revenue of $594 and $620 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales Returns and Allowances
At the time of sale, the Company simultaneously records estimates for various costs, which reduce product sales. These costs include estimates of chargebacks and other sales allowances. In addition, the Company records allowances for rebates, including Medicaid rebates and shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are appropriate. Estimates for sales allowances such as chargebacks are based on a variety of factors including actual return experience of that product or similar products, rebate arrangements for each product, and estimated sales by our wholesale customers to other third parties who have contracts with the Company. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be different than the Company’s estimates. The Company regularly reviews the factors that influence its estimates and, if necessary, makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves.

Sales Incentives
In accordance with the terms and conditions of an agreement entered into during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company has offered a sales incentive to one of its customers in the form of an incentive volume price adjustment. The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor's Products)" (“EITF 01-9”). The terms of this volume based sales incentive required the customer to purchase a minimum quantity of the Company's products during a specified period of time. The incentive offered was based upon a fixed dollar amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company made an estimate of the ultimate amount of the incentive the customer would earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. The Company had the ability to estimate this volume incentive price adjustment, as there did not exist a relatively long period of time for the particular adjustment to be earned. Any change in the estimated amount of the volume incentive was recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. In accordance with EITF 01-9, the Company recorded the provision for this sales incentive when the related revenue is recognized. The Company's sales incentive liability may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for these arrangements. Therefore, although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customer, could have significant impact on the Company's liability for sales incentives and the Company's reported operating results. The specific terms of this agreement which related to sales incentives expired in October 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized previously deferred sales incentive revenue of $3,399 related to this agreement.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the amount of net income (loss) for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants and conversions of convertible preferred stocks. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share,” during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, in periods when there was net income and Series K preferred stock was outstanding, the Company used the Two-Class Method to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on the calculation of basic EPS and the if-converted method was used to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on diluted EPS. In periods when there was a net loss, the effect of the participating Series K was excluded from both basic and diluted EPS. Additionally, in May 2006, the Series K preferred stock was converted into the Company’s common stock; therefore the use of the Two-Class Method is not required for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time the Company maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses inherent in the account receivable balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence.

Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Losses from the write-down of damaged, nonusable, or otherwise nonsalable inventories are recorded in the period in which they occur.

Land, Building and Equipment
Land, building and equipment is recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases.

Capitalization of Interest and Other Costs
The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings and certain other direct costs during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized costs are added to the cost of the underlying assets and will be depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. In connection with its capital improvements to the Brookhaven, NY facility, the Company capitalized approximately $907, including interest approximating $517, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company did not incur any interest on borrowings related major capital projects for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” the Company reports comprehensive (loss) income in addition to net (loss) income. Comprehensive (loss) income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net (loss) income.

Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are often based on judgements, probabilities, and assumptions that management believe are reasonable, but that are not inherently uncertain and unpredictable. As a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based on such periodic evaluations.

Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments on a limited basis, principally to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet, while changes in the fair value of the instrument are included in other comprehensive income (loss).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine if impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the related long-lived assets to the net carrying amount of such assets. Once it has been determined that impairment exists, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value. Factors considered in the determination of fair value include current operating results, trends and the present value of estimated expected future cash flows.

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return. The Company’s management assesses realization of its deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order to conclude whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Available evidence considered by the Company includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary differences and changing business circumstances. When there is a change in circumstances that cause a change in judgement about the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company may adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the period when such change occurs. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and the need for additional valuation allowances quarterly.

Shipping Costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, shipping and handling costs approximated $827, $668, and $434, respectively.

Research and Development
Pursuant to SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” research and development costs are expensed as incurred or at the date payment of non-refundable amounts become due, whichever occurs first. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, raw materials used specifically in the development of its new products and bioequivalence studies. Pre-approved milestone payments due under contract research and development arrangements are expensed when the milestone is achieved.

Concentrations and Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 15. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial instruments approximate their recorded value.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operations.

The Company reclassified certain components of stockholders’ equity section to reflect the elimination of deferred compensation arising from unvested share-based compensation pursuant to the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, regarding Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” This deferred compensation was previously recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding reduction to stockholders’ equity for such deferred compensation. This reclassification has no effect on net income or total stockholders’ equity as previously reported. The Company will record an increase to additional paid-in capital as the share-based payments vest.

Stock Based Compensation
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result, the Company’s net income before taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,070 and $1,195 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  
In November 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus in EITF Issue 06-6 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“EITF 06-6”).  EITF 06-6 addresses the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,”.  The consensus should be applied to modifications or exchanges of debt instruments occurring in interim or annual periods beginning after November 29, 2006.  The adoption of EITF 06-6 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“EITF 06-7”). At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) 133, based on the application of EITF 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Under EITF 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under FAS 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to stockholders’ equity. EITF 06-7 should be applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in FAS 133 in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the effective date of EITF 06-7. Earlier application of EITF 06-7 is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of EITF 06-7 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 ''Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140'' (''SFAS 155''). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No.109”). Specifically, FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods of income taxes, as well as the required disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 permits the choice of the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, with changes in fair value recorded in income, for the subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The statement is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this statement will have on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It codifies the definitions of fair value included in other authoritative literature; clarifies and, in some cases, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements; and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to (and amends) the provisions of existing authoritative literature, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This statement will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning July 2008. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”    Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides clarification surrounding the accounting for nonrefundable research and development advance payments, whereby such payments should be recorded as an asset when the advance payment is made and recognized as an expense when the research and development activities are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company records these advance payments in accordance with EITF 07-3 and therefore does not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - Management’s Liquidity Plan

At June 30, 2007 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,831 and operating activities used $14,105 of cash for the year then ended. In an effort to meet the Company’s cash requirements and generate positive cash flows from operations management has taken various actions and steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, including:

 
·
Seeking additional financing from our existing shareholders and other strategic investors, including $8,000 raised in November 2007 (see Note 18 - Subsequent Events)
 
·
Reducing headcount to an efficient level while still carrying out the Company’s future growth plan
 
·
Increasing revenue through the launch of new products, identifying new customers and expanding relationships with existing customers
 
·
Scaling back the Company’s research and development activities to the extent necessary to be able to fund operations and continue to execute the Company’s overall business plan
 
Management believes that the plans and initiatives described above will result in sufficient liquidity to meet cash requirements at least through June 30, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its cash flow and profitability goals, or that it will be able to raise additional capital sufficient to meet operating expenses or implement its plans. In such event, the Company may have to revise its plans and significantly reduce its operating expenses, which could have an adverse effect on revenue and operations in the short term.

NOTE 3 - Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised of amounts owed to the Company through the sales of its products throughout the United States. These accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, discounts, rebates and customer chargebacks. Allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $30 and $101 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts, in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Allowances relating to discounts, rebates, and customer chargebacks were $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The Company sells some of its products indirectly to various government agencies referred to below as “indirect customers.” The Company enters into agreements with its indirect customers to establish pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these agreed-upon prices. The Company will provide credit to the selected wholesaler for the difference between the agreed-upon price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler’s invoice price if the price sold to the indirect customer is lower than the direct price to the wholesaler. This credit is called a chargeback. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers, and estimated wholesaler inventory levels. As sales to the large wholesale customers increase, the reserve for chargebacks will also generally increase. However, the size of the increase depends on the product mix. The Company continually monitors the reserve for chargebacks and makes adjustments to the reserve as deemed necessary. Actual chargebacks may differ from estimated reserves.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are summarized as follows:

A summary of the outstanding long-term debt is as follows:

On February 9, 2006, the Company entered into a four-year financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“WFBC”). This financing agreement provided a maximum credit facility of $41,500 comprised of:
· $22,500 revolving credit facility
· $12,000 real estate term loan
· $ 3,500 machinery and equipment (“M&E”) term loan
· $ 3,500 additional / future capital expenditure facility

The funds made available through this facility paid down, in its entirety, the $20,445 owed on the previous credit facility. The WFBC revolving credit facility borrowing base is calculated as (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 50% of cost or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of its eligible inventory. The advances pertaining to inventory are capped at the lesser of 100% of the advance from accounts receivable or $9,000. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining availability under the revolving credit facility was $6,708. The $12,000 loan for the real estate in Brookhaven, NY is payable in equal monthly installments of $67 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The $3,500 M&E loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $58 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. With respect to additional capital expenditures, the Company is permitted to borrow 90% of the cost of new equipment purchased to a maximum of $3,500 in borrowings amortized over 60 months. As of June 30, 2007, there is approximately $150 available for additional capital expenditure borrowings.

NOTE 7 - Debt, continued
 
Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom is an Executive Vice President, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. The Company was required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholders’ pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon the Company raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of the Company completing the sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock in May 2006 (See Note 10), the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. In September 2006, the Company consummated a $10,000 sale of Series C-1 Convertible preferred stock (see Note 16), which eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

The revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at a rate of the prime rate less 0.5% or, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 250 basis points. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate on this debt was 7.75%. Pursuant to the requirements of the WFBC agreement, the Company has put in place a lock-box arrangement. The Company will incur a fee of 25 basis points per annum on any unused amounts of this credit facility.

The WFBC credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”). WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults based upon the Company’s consummation and receipt of $8,000 related to the issuance of subordinated debt described in Note 18 - Subsequent Events.

In connection with WFBC credit facility, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $482, which are being amortized over the term of the WFBC credit facility and are included in Other Assets. Of this amount, $131 and $50 have been recognized as amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts (the “swaps”), whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $10 and $98 and is included in Other Assets.

Rents
The Company leases one of its business premises located in Hauppauge, New York, (“Premises”) from an entity owned by three stockholders (“Landlord”) under a noncancelable lease expiring in October 2019. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the rent paid in accordance with this lease was $690 and $480.

Under the terms of the lease for the Premises, upon a transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Interpharm, Inc., which occurred on May 30, 2003, and every three years thereafter, the annual rent may be adjusted to fair market value, as determined by an independent appraiser.
 
In June 2007, the Company executed a Settlement Agreement with the Landlord, whereas, effective May 1, 2006, the Company would pay the Landlord a base rent of $660 annually. The Company recorded an additional $30 to properly account for the increase in base rent through June 30, 2007.

Future annual minimum rental payments under this operating lease are as follows:

Sale of Subsidiary 

On April 25, 2007 the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, Interpharm Development Private Limited (“IDPL”) located in Ahmedabad, India to an entity partially owned by two officers of the Company for $161. As previously disclosed the Company elected not to move forward with the construction of a research and development facility in Ahmedabad, India. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007 management committed to a plan to dispose of its interest in the entity which was incorporated specifically for the construction project in Ahmedabad. As a result, in accordance with SFAS 144 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $101 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to write down the carrying value of the net asset to the selling price. Therefore, no gain or loss on disposal was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Investment in APR, LLC 

In February and April 2005, the Company purchased 5 Class A membership interests (“Interests”) from each of Cameron Reid (“Reid”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and John Lomans (“Lomans”), who has no affiliation with the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,023 (including costs of $23) of APR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company primarily engaged in the development of complex bulk pharmaceutical products (“APR”). The purchases were made pursuant to separate Class A Membership Interest Purchase Agreements dated February 16, 2005 between the Company and Reid and Lomans (the “Purchase Agreements”). At the time of the purchases, Reid and Lomans owned all of the outstanding Class A membership interests of APR, which had, outstanding, 100 Class A membership interests and 100 Class B membership interests. As a result, the Company owns 10 of the 100 Class A membership Interests outstanding. The two classes of membership interests have different economic and voting rights, and the Class A members have the right to make most operational decisions. The Class B interests are held by one of the Company’s major customers and suppliers.
 
NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions, continued
 
In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Company has granted to Reid and Lomans each a proxy to vote 5 of the Interests owned by the Company on all matters on which the holders of Interests may vote.

The Board of Directors approved the purchases of Interests at a meeting held on February 15, 2005, based on an analysis and advice from an independent investment banking firm. Reid did not participate during the Company’s deliberations on this matter. The Company is accounting for its investment in APR pursuant to the cost method of accounting.

Purchase from APR, LLC
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company placed an order valued at $160 for a certain raw material from APR. The Company currently purchases the same raw material from an overseas supplier at a price 37% greater than the price APR is currently willing to offer. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. Supply of this raw material is being coordinated with the Company’s requirement projections for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has advanced $80 to APR in connection with this order.

Separation Agreements

As of September 10, 2007, the Company entered into separation agreements in connection with the termination of employment of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria, the brother of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s former President, Vimla Sutaria, the wife of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Jyoti Sutaria, the wife of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria. In connection with his separation agreement, Bhupatlal K. Sutaria received six months of salary aggregating $138, accelerated vesting of 200 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of his 700 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

In connection with her separation agreement, Jyoti Sutaria received accelerated vesting of 100 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of her 400 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

In connection with her separation agreement, Vimla Sutaria received accelerated vesting of 88 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of her 350 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

NOTE 9 - Income Taxes

At June 30, 2007 the Company has remaining Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $32,250 available through 2027. As of June 30, 2007, as a result of changes in New York State tax law, the benefit of the future utilization of State NOLs has been eliminated resulting in deferred state tax expense of $195 in fiscal 2007. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of the Federal NOLs is limited. $31,382 of these NOLs are available in fiscal 2008, and utilization of $868 of these NOLs is limited and becomes available after fiscal 2008. The limitations lapse at the rate of $2,690 per year, through fiscal 2009. As a result of losses incurred in fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which indicate uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income, the “more-likely-than-not” standard has not been met and therefore some amount of the Company’s deferred tax asset may not be realized. As such, a valuation allowance of $5,554 decreased the total accumulated net deferred tax asset of $11,529 to $5,975 at June 30, 2007. In addition, at June 30, 2007, the Company has approximately $986 of New York State investment tax credit carry forwards, expiring in various years through 2022. These carry forwards are available to reduce future New York State income tax liabilities. However, the Company has reserved 100% of the investment tax credit carry forward, which the Company does not anticipate utilizing.

In calculating its tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company applied aggregate effective tax rates of approximately 1.4% and (31%), respectively, thereby creating income tax expense of $190 and an income tax benefit of $1,700, respectively, and adjusted its deferred tax assets accordingly.

During the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, stock options were exercised which generated approximately $191 and $216 of income tax deductions, respectively, resulting in tax benefits of approximately $65 and $79. The benefits with respect to the June 30, 2006 stock option exercises were credited to additional paid in capital. For the June 30, 2007 stock option exercises, a valuation allowance has been established against the NOL attributable to stock option expense, in accordance with the Company’s adoption of the alternative method of calculating the additional paid in capital pool as defined in SFAS No. 123 (R). When these NOLs are utilized, the valuation allowance will be reversed and additional paid in capital will be credited for the benefit. The Company will receive a benefit when taxes payable is reduced in the future.

NOTE 11 - Series B-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“Tullis”). Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Tullis, and Tullis agreed to purchase from the Company, for a purchase price of $10,000 (net proceeds of $9,858) an aggregate of 10 shares of a newly designated series of the Company’s preferred stock (“B-1”), together with 2,282 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $1.639 per share. The warrants have a five year term. The Series B-1 Stock and warrants sold to Tullis are convertible and/or exercisable into a total of 8,802 shares of common stock. The B-1 shares are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $1.5338, and have an annual dividend rate of 8.25%, payable quarterly, which can be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or the Company’s common stock. In addition, the B-1 shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the B-1 shares upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, at a price per preferred share to be calculated on the day immediately preceding the date of a triggering event. A triggering event shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events: (i) failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of common stock within ten trading days; (ii) failure to pay any dividends, redemption price, change of control redemption price, or any other amounts when due; (iii) any event of default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC Credit and Security Agreement, under which the oblige of such indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000 in outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition in the Series B-1 Transaction Document.

Through June 30, 2007, the Company issued 420 shares of common stock as payment of $697 of previously accrued dividends. At June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued $206 of Series B-1 dividends, which was paid in July 2007 through the issuance of 148 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
With respect to the Company’s accounting for the preferred stock, EITF Topic D-98, paragraph 4, states that Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X requires securities with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be recorded outside of permanent equity. As described above, the terms of the Preferred Stock include certain redemption features that may be triggered by events that are not solely within the control of the Company, such as a potential default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC financing arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has classified the B-1 shares as temporary equity and the value ascribed to the B-1 shares upon initial issuance in May 2006 was the amount received in the transaction less the relative fair value ascribed to the warrants and direct costs associated with the transaction. The Company allocated $1,704 of the gross proceeds of the sale of B-1 shares to the warrants based on estimated fair value. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 "Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," ("EITF 00-27") the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1,418 to accumulated deficit during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The non-cash charge measures the difference between the relative fair value of the B-1 shares and the fair market value of the Company's common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to the Existing Defaults, as described in Note 7 - Debt, and WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults. The Company does not expect to be in default in the future under its credit facility (the only redemption feature outside of its control), nor does it plan to redeem the Series B-1 preferred stock. As such the Company believes it is not probable that the Series B-1 preferred stock will become redeemable.

In addition, in May 2006, in connection with the sale of the B-1 shares the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, with Tullis. Under the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement the Company is subject to penalties (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, the Company does not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of shares of its common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of its common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of its common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which its common stock is traded. The penalties will accrue on a daily basis so long as the Company is in default of the Registration Rights Agreement. The maximum amount of a registration delay penalty as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement is 18% of the aggregate purchase price of Tullis’ registrable securities included in the related registration statement. Unpaid registration delay penalties shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full. If the Company fails to get a registration statement effective penalties shall accrue at an amount equal to 1.67% per month of the aggregate purchase price of Tullis’ registrable securities included in the related registration statement. If the effectiveness failure continues for more than 180 days the penalty rate shall increase to 3.33%. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, penalties shall accrue at a rate of 3.33% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the registrable securities included in the related registration. The Company is also subject to penalties if there is a failure to timely deliver to a holder (or credit the holder’s balance with Depository Trust Company if the common stock is to be held in street name) a certificate for shares of our common stock if the holder elects to convert its preferred stock into common stock. Therefore, upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events the Company’s business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and the market price of its common stock would likely decline.

NOTE 12 - Series C-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “C-1 Agreement”) with Aisling Capital, L.P. (the “Buyer”). Under the C-1 Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company, for a purchase price of $10,000 (net proceeds of $9,993) an aggregate of 10 shares of a newly designated series of the Company’s preferred stock (“C-1”), together with 2,282 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $1.639 per share. The warrants have a five year term. The Series C-1 Stock and warrants sold to the Buyer are convertible and/or exercisable into a total of 8,802 shares of common stock. The C-1 shares are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $1.5338, and have an annual dividend rate of 8.25%, payable quarterly, which can be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or the Company’s common stock. In addition, the C-1 shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the C-1 shares upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, as defined, at a price per preferred share to be calculated on the day immediately preceding the date of a triggering event. A triggering event shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events: (i) failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of common stock within ten trading days; (ii) failure to pay any dividends, redemption price, change of control redemption price, or any other amounts when due; (iii) any event of default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC Credit and Security Agreement, under which the oblige of such indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000 in outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition in the Series C-1 Transaction Document.

NOTE 12 - Series C-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, continued

Through June 30, 2007, the Company issued 245 shares of common stock as payment of $454 of previously accrued dividends. At June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued $206 of Series C-1 dividends, which was paid in July 2007 through the issuance of 148 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
With respect to the Company’s accounting for the preferred stock, EITF Topic D-98, paragraph 4, states that Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X requires securities with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be recorded outside of permanent equity. As described above, the terms of the Preferred Stock include certain redemption features that may be triggered by events that are not solely within the control of the Company, such as a potential default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC financing arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has classified the C-1 shares as temporary equity and the value ascribed to the C-1 shares upon initial issuance in September 2006 was the amount received in the transaction less the relative fair value ascribed to the warrants and direct costs associated with the transaction. The Company allocated $1,641of the gross proceeds of the sale of C-1 shares to the warrants based on estimated fair value. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 "Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," ("EITF 00-27") the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1,094 to Accumulated deficit during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The non-cash charge measures the difference between the relative fair value of the C-1 shares and the fair market value of the Company's common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the C-1 Agreement with respect to the Existing Defaults, as described in Note 6 - Debt, and WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults. The Company does not expect to be in default in the future under its credit facility (the only redemption feature outside of its control), nor does it plan to redeem the Series C-1 preferred stock. As such the Company believes it is not probable that the Series C-1 preferred stock will become redeemable.
 
In addition, on September 11, 2006, in connection with the sale of the C-1 shares the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, with the Buyer. Under the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement the Company is subject to penalties (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, the Company does not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of shares of its common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of its common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of its common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which its common stock is traded. The penalties will accrue on a daily basis so long as the Company is in default of the Registration Rights Agreement. The maximum amount of a registration delay penalty as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement is 18% of the aggregate purchase price of the Buyers registrable securities included in the related registration statement. Unpaid registration delay penalties shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full. If the Company fails to get a registration statement effective penalties shall accrue at an amount equal to 1.67% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the Buyers registrable securities included in the related registration statement. If the effectiveness failure continues for more than 180 days the penalty rate shall increase to 3.33%. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, penalties shall accrue at a rate of 3.33% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the registrable securities included in the related registration.

One condition of the Agreement was to convert all outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) and Series B Convertible Stock (the Series B”) into the Company’s common stock. As such, in June, 2006, the Company filed an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14 (c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Information Statement”). The Information Statement informs stockholders of actions to approve the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company of actions taken and approved in May, 2006, by the holders of (a) voting stock of the Company holding shares entitling such holders to cast more than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast with respect to such actions, (b) a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A and (c) more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B, to make all of the Series A and Series B convertible into the Company’s common stock. Another condition of the Agreement required the Company to increase its authorized common shares from 70,000 shares to 150,000 shares.

Originally, each share of Series A was convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at the conversion rate in effect at the time the holder elects to convert. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among other things, subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s common stock, the payment by the Company of stock dividends on the common stock, and the issuance of shares of common stock for a consideration below an amount calculated under a formula.

On July 18, 2006, the Company filed an amendment to its Article of Incorporation which had the effect of (i) automatically converting each outstanding share of the Company’s Series A into two shares of common stock or an aggregate of 8 common shares. A Series A shareholder elected to have his 3 shares canceled. Accordingly, no shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to him as part of this conversion; (ii) eliminating the Series A from the Articles of Incorporation; (iii) automatically converting each of the 2 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B into one share of common stock, thus issuing 2 common shares; and (iv) eliminating the Series B from the Articles of Incorporation.  These amendments were approved by written consent of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and by the holder of all of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred shares.

In 2003 the Company authorized the satisfaction of loans due to the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and one of its stockholders, by issuing 5 shares of a Series A-1 cumulative convertible preferred (the Series A-1”). The A-1 shares convert on a 1:1 basis into Company common stock subject to the definitive terms in the list of designations upon (i) the Company reaching $150,000 in sales or (ii) a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transaction. The holders of shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights and have dissolution rights upon liquidation of $0.682 per share. The Series A-1 shares have a cumulative annual dividend of $0.0341 per share. In November 2006, the Company paid $124 of declared dividends for the period January 2006 through September 2006. As of June 30, 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors had not declared any dividend on the Series A-1 shares for the period October 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. Such undeclared dividends amounted to $124.

On June 4, 2004, the Company was deemed by AMEX to be in compliance with applicable listing standards, and as a result, a “Triggering Event” occurred. Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event, the holders of the Series K Convertible preferred shares (the “K shares”) (entities owned by certain relatives of the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors), in accordance with a defined formula and through May 2006, converted all of the K shares into 43,923 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock The holders of the K shares had demand registration rights with respect to the common stock to be issued upon conversion. As of June 30, 2007 the former Series K stockholders own or control approximately 50,179 shares or 76% of the total shares outstanding of the Company.

Stock Options and Appreciation Rights
In 2003, Interpharm, Inc., as a part of the ATEC reverse merger transaction, assumed options to acquire ATEC’s common stock which were granted previously by ATEC pursuant to two Stock Option Plans. The two option plans are the 1997 Stock Option Plan (“1997 Plan”) and the 2000 Flexible Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”). Both plans provide for the issuance of qualified and non-qualified options as those terms are defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

The 1997 Plan provides for the issuance of 6,000 shares of common stock. All options issued, pursuant to the 1997 Plan, cannot have a term greater than ten years. Options granted under this plan vest over periods established in option agreements. As of June 30, 2007, 1,317 options are outstanding under this plan. No additional shares can be granted under this plan.

The 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock plus an annual increase, effective on the first day of each calendar year, equal to 10% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of the first day of such calendar year, but in no event, more than 20,000 shares in the aggregate. All options issued, pursuant to the 2000 Plan, cannot have a term greater than ten years. Options granted under the 2000 Plan vest over periods established in option agreements. As of June 30, 2007, the 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of 20,000 shares of common stock. As of that date, 10,613 options are outstanding under this plan.

The Company recognized approximately $13 in income in connection with 100 previously issued stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The SARs must be exercised between July 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. The SARs are recorded at fair value and are marked to market at each reporting period. As of June 30, 2007, the total liability related to the SARs is $46;

For all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The model incorporates exercise assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The Company does not have a reasonable basis for estimating stock option forfeitures, so it assumes zero forfeitures in estimating the financial impact of granting options to purchase its common stock. The expected life of the fiscal 2007 grants is derived from historical and other factors. As a policy, the Company issues shares for exercised options upon receipt of the required funds, as stated in the Stock Option Agreement, and a properly executed intent-to-exercise form.

The total unearned compensation cost of $1,767 for the total nonvested options as of June 30, 2007 of 2,401 will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.88 years.

NOTE 14 - 401K Plan
 
In January 2006, the Company initiated a pre-tax savings plan covering substantially all employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, eligible employees may contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary, subject to certain limitations. The Company contributes and matches 100% of the employee pre-tax contributions, up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus 50% of pre-tax contributions that exceed 3% of compensation, but not to exceed 5% of compensation. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions in its discretion which would be allocated among all eligible employees, whether or not they make contributions. Company contributions were approximately $317 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

By motion dated July 26, 2006, the Company moved to dismiss Vuono’s complaint in its entirety.  Vuono cross-moved to disqualify the Company's counsel due to an alleged conflict of interest.  By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.  The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held a hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision. 

The Company will continue to vigorously defend the action.

In November 2006, a former employee commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 06/31481).  As of October 15, 2007, the action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, and without costs, expenses, or fees to either party. The complaint alleged violations of the New York State Human Rights Law and other unidentified rules, regulations, statutes and ordinances.

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against the Company with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint against the Company alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  The Company believes that the claims are without merit and the Company is vigorously defending the action.  Currently, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner has subsequently threatened to hold any additional payments under the Settlement until they receive reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.

The testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products subject the Company to the risk of product liability claims. The Company believes that it maintains an adequate amount of product liability insurance, but no assurance can be given that such insurance will cover all existing and future claims or that it will be able to maintain existing coverage or obtain additional coverage at reasonable rates.

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business operations. In the opinion of management, it is not anticipated that the settlement or resolution of any
such matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

In addition, Tris is to receive 40% of the net profits, as defined, in accordance with the terms in the New Liquids Agreement.

The Company further amended the Solids Agreement in October 2006, modifying the manner in which certain costs will be shared as well as clarifying the parties’ respective audit rights.

For the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded as research and development expense approximately $1,915, $2,110, and $1,400, respectively, in connection with these agreements. Further, since inception, we have incurred approximately $5,425 of research and development costs associated with the Tris agreements of which the Company has paid the full amount due as of June 30, 2007. The combined costs of these agreements could aggregate up to $5,800. The balance on the solids agreement, as amended, of $375 could be paid within two years if all milestones are reached. There is no outstanding balance to be paid related to the liquid agreement as of June 30, 2007.

NOTE 18 - Subsequent Events

On October 26, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Business Credit finalized a Forbearance Agreement that terminates on December 31, 2007, which was subsequently amended on November 12, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”).

On November 7, 2007 and November 14, 2007, as required by the Forbearance Agreement, the Company received a total of $8,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of subordinated debt.

On November 7, 2007, Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Vimla M. Sutaria, his wife, loaned $3,000 to the Company pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due 2010 (the “Sutaria Note”). Interest of 12% per annum on the Sutaria Note is payable quarterly in arrears, and for the first 12 months of the note’s term, may be paid in cash, or additional notes (“PIK Notes”), at the option of the Company. Thereafter, the Company is required to pay at least 8% interest in cash, and the balance, at its option, in cash or PIK Notes.

Repayment of the Sutaria Notes is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the Sutaria Notes are subordinated to the liens held by WFBC and the holders of the STAR Notes described below.

On November 14, 2007, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $5,000 of Secured 12% Promissory Notes Due 2009 (the “STAR Notes”) in the following amounts to the following parties:
 
Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“Tullis”)

Interest of 12% per annum on the STAR Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or PIK Notes. Upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval and ratification of the issuance of the STAR Note financing and making the necessary filings with the SEC in connection therewith (the “Stockholder Approval”), which is to occur no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than the later of February 28, 2008 or such later date as may be necessary to address SEC comments on the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the STAR Notes shall be exchanged for:
 
 
·
Secured Convertible 12% Promissory Notes due 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount equal to the principal and accrued interest on the STAR Notes through the date of exchange. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is to be $0.95 per share and interest is to be payable quarterly, in arrears, in either cash or PIK Notes, at the option of the Company;

 
·
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,842 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.95 per share.

Each of the Convertible Notes and Warrants are to have anti-dilution protection with respect to issuances of Common Stock, or common stock equivalents at less than $0.95 per share such that their conversion or exercise price shall be reset to a price equal to 90% of the price at which shares of Common Stock or equivalents are deemed to have been issued.

The repayment of the STAR and Convertible Notes is secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the STAR Note financing liens are subordinate to those of WFBC, but ahead, in priority, of the Sutaria Notes.

Also, upon the Company obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock held by Tullis and Aisling shall be exchangeable for shares of a new Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which shall be substantially similar to the B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock other than the Conversion price which is to be $0.95 per share instead of $1.5338 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements for the Company’s Series B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the consent of Tullis and Aisling was required for the issuance of the Sutaria Notes and for the STAR Note financing. In consideration for that consent, the Company has agreed to exchange 2,282 warrants to purchase Company Common Stock held by each of Tullis and Aisling with an exercise price of $1.639 per share for new warrants with an exercise price of $0.95 per share. In addition, the Major Shareholders have agreed to give Tullis and Aisling tag along rights on certain sales of Company common stock.

6. Remedies: Rights Upon Default.
 
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the Note and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Parties may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtors expressly agree that in any such event the Secured Parties, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Debtors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of the Debtors where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Debtors or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Secured Parties’ claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Secured Parties shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Debtors hereby release. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Secured Parties shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Debtors’ premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use the Debtors’ premises without charge for such time or times as the Secured Parties deems necessary or advisable.
 
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors further agree, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by the Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the Debtors, whether at the Debtors’ premises or elsewhere. Until the Secured Parties are able to affect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Secured Parties shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties shall have no obligation to the Debtors to maintain or preserve the rights of the Debtors as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Secured Parties. The Secured Parties may, if they so elect, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Secured Parties’ remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Secured Parties shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured Obligations, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Secured Parties of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Secured Parties account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtors. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtors hereby waive all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Debtors agree that ten (10) days prior notice by the Secured Parties of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. The Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency.
 
 
 

 
 
(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Debtors hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
 
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Parties to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtors acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Parties (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Parties to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Secured Parties, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Secured Parties in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 6(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Parties would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Parties’ exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtors or to impose any duties on the Secured Parties that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 6(c).
 
(d) The Secured Parties shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Debtors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. The Secured Parties shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Debtors absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of, and covenant not to assert against the Secured Parties, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as sureties now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
 
 
 

 
 
7. Grant Of Licenses To Use Intellectual Property Collateral.

8. Indemnity; Expenses; Limitation On Secured Parties’ Duty In Respect Of Collateral.
 
(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Debtors shall indemnify and hold the Secured Parties, their respective Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the termination of the Secured Obligations and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent or any assignment by a Secured Party) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Security Agreement, the Note or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any Indemnified Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Debtors, their directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Sutaria Documents are consummated.

In the event that any investigation, litigation or proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against any Indemnified Person, or any remedial, removal or response action which is requested of it or any other Indemnified Person, for which such Indemnified Person may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Debtors in writing of such event; provided that failure to so notify the Debtors shall not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to seek indemnification under this Section 8.

(ii) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Security Agreement against the Collateral Agent. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Security Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
 
(iii) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Security Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon the instructions of the Holders and shall in all such cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with such instructions of the Holders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder at the request of the Holders unless the Debtors or the Holders have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity, which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems sufficient against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action.
 
(iv) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ notice thereof to the Holders and the Debtors. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, (A) such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (B) the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the former Collateral Agent shall take all steps necessary to assign the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent.
 
10. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Debtors for liquidation or reorganization, should the Debtors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Debtors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

A waiver by the Collateral Agent of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Collateral Agent would otherwise have had on any future occasion. No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies hereunder provided are cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently, and are not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law. None of the terms or provisions of this Security Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by the Collateral Agent and the Debtor.
 
14. Limitation By Law. All rights, remedies and powers provided in this Security Agreement may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law, and all the provisions of this Security Agreement are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law that may be controlling and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they shall not render this Security Agreement invalid, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable law.

No sales of participations, other sales, assignments, transfers or other dispositions of any agreement governing or instrument evidencing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, hereunder. The Debtors may not assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any interest in or obligation under this Security Agreement.
 
17. Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be authenticated in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall collectively and separately constitute one agreement.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
19. Waiver Of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY, THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT DISPUTES ARISING HEREUNDER OR RELATING HERETO BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.

21. Section Titles. The Section titles contained in this Security Agreement are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement among the parties hereto.
 
22. No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Security Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Security Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Security Agreement.

CONSENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT

THIS CONSENT AND WAIVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as the 7th day of November, 2007, by and among INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), TULLIS-DICKERSON CAPITAL FOCUS III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Tullis”), AISLING CAPITAL II, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Aisling”), P&K HOLDINGS I, LLC (“P&K Holdings”), a New York Limited Liability Company, RAMETRA HOLDINGS I, LLC (“Rametra Holdings”), a New York Limited Liability Company, RAJS HOLDINGS I, LLC (“Rajs Holdings” and, together with P&K Holdings, Perry Sutaria, Raj Sutaria and Rametra Holdings, the “Sutaria Stockholders”), a New York Limited Liability Company, PERRY SUTARIA (“PS”), individually and as Manager of the Sutaria Stockholders, RAJ SUTARIA (“RS”), individually, and CAMERON REID (“Reid”), individually. Capitalized terms in the Recitals hereto and not defined in such Recitals shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Tullis Purchase Agreement, Aisling Purchase Agreement and Series B-1 and Series C-1 CODs, each of which is defined below.

RECITALS:

A.  On May 15, 2006 the Company and Tullis entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Tullis Purchase Agreement”) and on May 26, 2006 the parties consummated the Tullis Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Tullis Purchase Agreement the Company (i) filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series B-1 COD”) pursuant to which it designated 15,000 shares of a series of the Company’s preferred stock, called Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B-1 Stock”), and issued and sold to Tullis 10,000 of such shares and (ii) issued to Tullis a warrant to purchase 2,281,914 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.60 per share (the “Tullis Warrant”).
 
 B.  On September 11, 2006 the Company and Aisling entered into and consummated a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Aisling Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the Aisling Purchase Agreement the Company (i) filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Series C-1 COD”) pursuant to which it designated 10,000 shares of a series of the Company’s preferred stock, called Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series C-1 Stock”), and issued and sold to Aisling all 10,000 of such shares and (ii) issued to Aisling a warrant to purchase 2,281,914 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $1.60 per share (the “Aisling Warrant” and, together with the Tullis Warrant, the “Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants”).
 
C. Section 4(o)(ii) of the Tullis and Aisling Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement Share Limitation”) state:
 
“Other than as set forth in Section 1(c), from the date hereof until the date that is thirty (30) Trading Days (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) after the Effective Date (the “Trigger Date”), the Company will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, grant any option to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition of) any of its or its Subsidiaries’ equity or equity equivalent securities, including without limitation any debt, preferred stock or other instrument or security that is, at any time during its life and under any circumstances, convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (any such offer, sale, grant, disposition or announcement being referred to as a “Subsequent Placement”).”
 

 
D.  Sections 13(d) and 13(h) of each of the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD state, in relevant part, the following (the “COD Share Limitation”):
 
“(13) Protective Provisions. So long as the Investor holds at least 25% of the Preferred Shares issued on the Initial Issuance Date, in addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not:
 
(d) issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
*****
 
(h) issue any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time to reflect stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations and other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock);…”
 
E. The Company is seeking to effect a financing (the “Financing”) with Tullis, Aisling, the Sutaria Stockholders and Reid (collectively, the “STAR Note Holders”) on substantially the terms and conditions set forth in the term sheets annexed hereto as Exhibit A;
 
F.  The Company requires a waiver under the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation in order to consummate the Financing;
 
G. As more particularly described below, the Company is in default (or a Triggering Event (as such term is defined in the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD) has occurred) under the terms of (i) the Tullis Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD; and (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 15, 2006, as amended by the Amendment No. 1, dated September 11, 2006, among the Company, Tullis and Aisling (the “Registration Rights Agreement”);
 
2

 
H. The Company has requested that Tullis and Aisling waive their rights arising out of such defaults, which are continuing;
 
I. As of the date hereof, the Sutaria Stockholders own or have the power and authority to vote with respect to collectively 35,686,738 shares of Common Stock, which represent in the aggregate approximately 45.2% of the total issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company (“Shares”);
 
J. As a condition to the willingness of Tullis and Aisling to enter into this Agreement, to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Financing and to waive the Existing Defaults (as defined below), Tullis and Aisling have required that the Sutaria Stockholders enter into certain voting agreements as contemplated hereby and that the Company exchange the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, and exchange the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants (as defined below);
 
K. The exchange of the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants for New Warrants, and the exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for new shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, are being made in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and
 
L.  To the extent set forth herein, Tullis and Aisling desire to waive their rights under the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation with respect to the Financing in exchange for agreements set forth herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Waiver.

(a)  Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation, Tullis and Aisling, the owners of all of the outstanding shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock and constituting the “Required Holders,” as such term is defined the Series B-1 COD and Series C-1 COD, hereby consent to the Financing and waive the application of the Purchase Agreement Share Limitation and COD Share Limitation with respect to the Financing, and such other limitations as may affect the Financing which are contained in the Series B-1 COD, the Series C-1 COD, the Tullis Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement, solely with respect to the Financing (the “Financing Consent”).
 
(b)  Each of Tullis and Aisling hereby waive the Existing Defaults (the “Default Waiver” and, together with the Financing Consent, the “Consent and Waiver”). “Existing Defaults” shall mean the following defaults and Triggering Events under each of (i) the Tullis Purchase Agreement and the Aisling Purchase Agreement; (ii) the Series B-1 COD and the Series C-1 COD; and (iii) the Registration Rights Agreement: (A) the failure of the Company to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and deliver to Tullis and Aisling) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007; and (B) the failure of the Company to prevent the suspension of trading of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange as a result of (A). This Consent and Waiver shall be limited to those matters described herein, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring hereafter.
 
3

 
(c)  As a condition to the effectiveness of the Consent and Waiver, the Board of Directors of the Company shall have passed a resolution substantially in the following form:
 
“RESOLVED, that all securities to be issued from and after the date hereof to Tullis, Aisling, or any other person or entity that, at the time of such issuance, has a representative on the Board of Directors of the Company, including, without limitation, all securities issued pursuant to the Series B-1 COD, the Series C-1 COD, the Certificate of Designations, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants, the New Warrants, and any other securities to be issued by the Company to any such person or entity, shall be made in accordance with, and shall be subject to the exemptions contained in, Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.”
 
Section 2.  Exchange of Series B-1 Preferred, Series C-1 Preferred and Warrants. 
 
(a)  Information Statement.  In connection with this Agreement, the holders of a majority of the Company’s capital stock entitled to vote have executed a written consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B approving the issuance of all of the securities contemplated by this Agreement and the Financing in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange (the “Stockholder Approval”). The Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no later than November 21, 2007, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”), which has been previously reviewed by Tullis, Aisling and counsel of their choice, setting forth information regarding the Stockholder Approval. As soon as practicable thereafter, but no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than February 28, 2008, the Company shall provide each stockholder of the Company the Information Statement in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange; provided, however, that in the event of a review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Information Statement which shall not be concluded by February 15, 2008, the Company shall provide each stockholder of the Company the Information Statement in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange within ten (10) business days of clearing comments received from the SEC. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any SEC comments on the Information Statement and to mail the Information Statement as soon as practicable.
 
(b) Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), in the event that, under applicable law and the rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange, the stockholders of the Company are unable to act by written consent, the Company shall, as soon as practicable, but no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than January 31, 2008, provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which initially shall be promptly called and held not later than February 28, 2008 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement, soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of the resolutions set forth in the Stockholder Approval, and the Company shall solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and cause its Board of Directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions. The Company shall be obligated to seek to obtain the Stockholder Approval by the Stockholder Meeting Deadline. If, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts, the Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall cause an additional Stockholder Meeting to be held every three (3) months thereafter until such Stockholder Approval is obtained.
 
4

 
(c)  Filing of Certificate of Designations; Reservation of Shares.  The Board of Directors of the Company has authorized a new series of convertible preferred stock of the Company designated as Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the terms of which are set forth in the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Certificate of Designations”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Series D-1 Stock”), which Series D-1 Stock shall be convertible into the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Designations. Promptly upon obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Company shall file the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with applicable law. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Financing and upon conversion of the D-1 Stock and exercise of the New Warrants (as defined below).

(d) Exchange of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock. As soon as practicable after the Stockholder Approval, in consideration of the Consent and Waiver, the Company shall issue the Series D-1 Stock to Aisling and Tullis in exchange for the shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock. Each share of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock shall be exchanged for 1.04125 shares of Series D-1 Stock.

(e) Exchange of Warrants. As soon as practicable, in consideration of the Consent and Waiver, the Company shall issue a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “New Warrant”) to Aisling and Tullis in exchange for the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants. Each New Warrant will provide for an exercise price of $0.95 per share and shall be exercisable for 2,281,914 shares of common stock.

(f) Waiver of Dividends. In consideration of the agreements set forth herein, Aisling and Tullis waive their right to receive dividends on the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for the quarters ended September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2007.

(g) Holding Period. For the purposes of Rule 144, the Company acknowledges that the holding period of (i) the New Warrants (and the shares for which the New Warrants are exercisable) may be tacked onto the holding period of the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Warrants (in the case of a Cashless Exercise, as defined in the New Warrants)) and (ii) the Series D-1 Stock (and the shares for which the Series D-1 Stock is convertible) may be tacked onto the holding period of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 2(g). The Company’s acknowledgement and agreement set forth in this Section 2(g) shall be subject in all respect to Rule 144 and other applicable securities laws, as may be in effect from time to time.

Section 3.  Effect on Transaction Documents. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions of the agreements, documents and instruments signed by the Company, Tullis and Aisling in connection with the Tullis Purchase Agreement and Aisling Purchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect after the execution of this Agreement and shall not be in any way changed, modified or superseded by the terms set forth herein. For purposes of the Tullis Purchase Agreement, the Aisling Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees that the Series D-1 Stock shall be treated as shares issued in replacement of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, and the term “Preferred Shares” in the Tullis Purchase Agreement, Aisling Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement shall mean and include the Series D-1 Stock and any shares issued in replacement thereof in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 4. Proxy.  

 (a)
Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders are, simultaneously herewith, executing the Stockholder Approval. Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders hereby agree that at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the Company’s stockholders, each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders shall vote their shares of voting capital stock of the Company: (i) in favor of the Stockholder Approval; (ii) in favor of the Certificate of Designations; (iii) in favor of the Financing; and (iv) against any proposal or any other corporate action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company under the Tullis Purchase Agreement, the Aisling Purchase Agreement or this Agreement not being fulfilled. Each of PS and the Sutaria Stockholders acknowledges receipt and review of a copy of each of the Exhibits hereto.

(b)  
PS and the Sutaria Stockholders each hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, until the Stockholder Approval and the filing of the Certificate of Designations, he/it shall not offer or agree to sell, transfer, tender, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, grant a proxy or power of attorney with respect to (other than the Proxy or as set forth in this Agreement), or create or permit to exist any security interest, lien, claim, pledge, option, right of first refusal, agreement, or limitation on any shares of capital stock of the Company owned by him/it.

(c)  
PS hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that:

(i)  
he is the sole managing member of each of the Sutaria Stockholders;

as of the date hereof, the Sutaria Stockholders are the owners of the Shares, which aggregate of 35,686,738 shares of common stock of the Company, entitled to vote, without restriction, on all matters brought before holders of capital stock of the Company; the Shares are all the voting securities of the Company owned, either of record or beneficially, by the Sutaria Stockholders; and, except as contemplated by this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto are owned free and clear of all security interests, liens, claims, pledges, options, rights of first refusal, agreements, limitations on such Sutaria Stockholders’ voting rights, charges and other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever;
 
6

 
(iii)  
the Proxy and this Agreement have been duly authorized and approved by each of the Sutaria Stockholders;

(iv)  
he has the power and authority to execute and deliver the Proxy and this Agreement; and

(v)  
by a date that is not more than sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, he shall take such steps that shall be necessary so as to appoint Raj Sutaria as his successor as the sole managing member of Rajs Holdings, Rametra Holdings, and P&K Holdings in the event of his death or incapacity.

Section 5. Certain Transfer Restrictions with Respect to Sutaria Stockholders; Tag Along Rights.

(a)  Securities Notice. If any Sutaria Stockholder proposes to Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below) any shares of capital stock of the Company (“Shares”) held by it (each a “Selling Stockholder” and, together with any other Selling Stockholder(s), the “Selling Stockholders”) to a third party purchaser (the “Third Party Purchaser”) other than as otherwise agreed by both Tullis and Aisling in writing prior to such Transfer and other than any Exempt Transfer (as defined in Section 5(d) below), the Selling Stockholders shall, no less than twenty (20) business days prior to the consummation of such Transfer, send written notice (an “Offering Notice”) to Tullis, Aisling and Reid, which shall state (a) the identity of the Third Party Purchaser; (b) the type and number of such securities proposed to be transferred (the “Offered Securities”), including detailed terms of such securities (if other than Common Stock); (c) the proposed purchase price per share for the Offered Securities (the “Offer Price”); and (d) the terms and conditions of such sale. The Selling Stockholders hereby agree that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, they shall not, at any time, sell or otherwise transfer in the aggregate more than 12 million of the Shares in a conveyance or conveyances that are not Exempt Transfers without the prior approval of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b)  Tag-Along Right. If a Selling Stockholder is directly or indirectly transferring Offered Securities to a Third Party Purchaser pursuant to Section 4(a), then each of Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall have the right to sell to such Third Party Purchaser that number of shares equal to that percentage of the Offered Securities determined by dividing (i) the total number of outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the Company (on an as converted basis) then owned by Tullis, Aisling or Reid, as the case may be, by (ii) the sum of (x) the total number of shares of Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) then owned by Tullis, Aisling and Reid and (y) the total number of Shares then owned by the Selling Stockholders, in the aggregate, at a price equal to the Offer Price, with other terms set forth in the Offering Notice. The Selling Stockholders and Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall effect the sale of the Offered Securities and Tullis, Aisling and Reid shall sell the number of Offered Securities to be sold by them pursuant to this Section 5, and the number of Offered Securities to be sold to such Third Party Purchaser by the Selling Stockholder(s) shall be reduced accordingly.
 
7


(c)  Timing.  The tag-along rights provided by this Section 5 must be exercised by Tullis, Aisling and Reid within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of the Offering Notice, by delivery of a written notice to PS indicating Tullis, Aisling or Reid’s election to exercise his or its rights and specifying the number of shares (up to the maximum number of shares owned by Tullis, Aisling or Reid required to be purchased by such Third Party Purchaser) each of them elects to sell (the “Tag-along Exercise Notice”), provided that Tullis, Aisling or Reid may waive its rights under this Section prior to the expiration of such fifteen (15) business day period by giving written notice to PS. The failure of Tullis, Aisling or Reid to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of their rights under this Section and such proposed Transfer of Shares will be classified as an Exempt Transfer.

(d)  Exempt Transfers. The tag-along rights set forth in this Section 5 shall not apply to (i) any transfer to a Permitted Holder (as defined below); provided that any such Permitted Holder agrees in writing to be bound by this Agreement and, if appropriate, the Proxy, in place of the relevant transferor, in an agreement in form satisfactory to counsel to Tullis, Aisling and Reid; or (ii) the sale in an unsolicited broker’s transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Exempt Transfers”). “Transfer” shall mean a sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, disposal of, mortgage, entering into any voting trust or other agreement, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to Shares, whether directly or indirectly and whether voluntarily or involuntarily. “Permitted Holders” means Raj Sutaria, Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria, and their respective estates, spouses, ancestors and lineal descendants, the legal representatives of any of the foregoing and the trustees of any bona fide trusts of which the foregoing are the sole beneficiaries or the grantors, or any entity of which the foregoing “beneficially owns” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), individually or collectively with any of the foregoing, at least 51% of the total voting power of the voting stock of such entity.

(e) Prohibited Transfers. Any Transfer of Shares not made in conformance with this Agreement shall be null and void, shall not be recorded on the books of the Company and shall not be recognized by the Company.

(f) Termination. The provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate as to Aisling or Tullis on such date that such party holds less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of shares of Series D-1 Stock issued to it pursuant to this Agreement (or shares into which such Series D-1 Stock have converted, or if such Offered Securities are offered prior to the exchange of the Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock for Series D-1 Stock, the number of shares of Series B-1 Stock and Series C-1 Stock, respectively) (the “Minimum Percentage”). The provisions of this Section 5 shall terminate as to Reid on such date that he holds less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the original principal amount of the Company’s Secured Convertible 12% Notes issued to him in connection with the Financing (or shares into which such convertible notes have converted).

Section 6. Board Representation.  So long as Aisling holds the Minimum Percentage of Series D-1 Stock (or shares into which such shares of Series D-1 Stock have converted), Aisling shall have the right to nominate one individual to serve as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors. Aisling shall have the right to appoint such individual or to waive its right to appoint such individual at any time. Tullis, PS and the Sutaria Stockholders agree to vote, or cause to be voted, all Shares owned by them, or over which they have voting control, from time to time and at all times, in whatever manner as shall be necessary to ensure that at each annual or special meeting of stockholders at which an election of directors is held or pursuant to any written consent of stockholders, Aisling’s nominee, if any, shall be elected to the Board.

(c)  Recapitalization. This Agreement is intended to apply to all shares of the capital stock of the Company now or hereafter held by the PS and the Sutaria Stockholders. In the event that the PS or any of the Sutaria Stockholders acquire any additional shares of the capital stock of the Company hereafter, or in the event of any capital reorganization of the Company or if any Shares shall be reclassified, classified, split, exchanged, or changed in any manner, this Agreement shall be deemed to apply to all the shares of capital stock received and owned by PS and the Sutaria Stockholders.
 
(d)  Benefit and Burden. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their legatees, distributees, estates, executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors assigns and legal representatives. Each transferee or assignee of any Shares subject to this Agreement shall continue to be subject to the terms hereof and, as a condition precedent to the Company’s recognizing such transfer, each transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall not permit the transfer of the Shares subject to this Agreement on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Agreement. Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement shall be endorsed with the legend set forth in Section 7(f) below.
 
(e)  Remedies. The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that Aisling and Tullis will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed by the undersigned in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that each of Aisling and Tullis shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement, and to specific performance of this Agreement and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.
 
(f)  Legend on Shares. Each certificate representing any Shares shall be endorsed by the Company with a legend reading substantially as follows:
 

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING PROXY AND WAIVER AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME (COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST SHALL BE DEEMED TO AGREE TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING PROXY AND THAT WAIVER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP SET FORTH THEREIN.”
 
11


The Company agrees that it will cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 7(f), and it shall supply, free of charge, a copy of the Proxy and this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Company at its principal office. The parties to this Agreement agree that the failure to cause the certificates evidencing the Shares to bear the legend required by this Section 7(f) and/or the failure by the Company to supply, free of charge, a copy of the Proxy and this Agreement, shall not affect the validity or enforcement of the Proxy or this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall cause the legend set forth in this Section 7(f) to be removed promptly upon request (and in any event within five business days of such request) in the event such Shares are Transferred in an Exempt Transfer under Section 5(d), other than an Exempt Transfer to a Permitted Holder.

(g)  Expenses. The Corporation shall bear its own expenses and legal fees with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Proxy and shall pay, and save Aisling and Tullis harmless against all liability for the payment of all costs and other expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the Proxy and the Financing, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to each of Aisling and Tullis for services rendered in connection therewith, not to exceed $130,000 in the aggregate.
 
(h)  Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
 
(i)  Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
 
(j)  Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

To convert Preferred Shares into Common Stock on any date (the "Conversion Date"), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York City Time, on such date, a copy of a properly completed notice of conversion executed by the registered Holder of the Preferred Shares subject to such conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the "Conversion Notice") to the Company and the Company's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent") and (B) if required by Section 2(d)(vii), surrender to a common carrier for delivery to the Company as soon as practicable following such date the original certificates representing the Preferred Shares being converted (or compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 14) (the "Preferred Share Certificates").
 
36

 
(b)  Company's Response. Upon receipt by the Company of copy of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall as soon as practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, send, via facsimile, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to such Holder and the Transfer Agent, which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the third (3rd) Business Day following the date of receipt by the Company of such Conversion Notice (the "Share Delivery Date"), the Company shall (A) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder's or its designee's balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, or (B) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, cause the Transfer Agent to issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled. If the number of Preferred Shares represented by the Preferred Share Certificate(s) submitted for conversion, as may be required pursuant to Section 2(d)(vii), is greater than the number of Preferred Shares being converted, then the Company shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Preferred Share Certificate(s) (the "Preferred Share Delivery Date") and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares not converted.
 
(c)  Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Closing Sale Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Holder via facsimile within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such Holder's Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If such Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon the determination of the Closing Sale Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Holder, then the Company shall within one (1) Business Day submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Closing Sale Price to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and approved by the Required Holders or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Company's independent, outside accountant. The Company shall cause, at the Company's expense, the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and the Holders of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank's or accountant's determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent error.
 
37

 
(d)  Miscellaneous; Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of Preferred Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock on the Conversion Date.
 
(e)  Company's Failure to Timely Convert.
 
(i)  Cash Damages. If (I) within ten (10) calendar days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to credit a Holder's balance account with DTC or issue and deliver a certificate to such Holder for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares (a "Conversion Failure") or (II) within ten (10) calendar days of the Company's receipt of a Preferred Share Certificate the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a new Preferred Share Certificate representing the number of Preferred Shares to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2(d)(ii), then in addition to all other available remedies which such holder may pursue hereunder and under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including indemnification pursuant to Section 9(k) thereof), the Company shall pay additional damages to such Holder for each day after the Share Delivery Date that such conversion is not timely effected and/or each day after the Preferred Share Delivery Date that such Preferred Share Certificate is not delivered in an amount equal to 1.0% of the product of (I) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which such Holder is entitled as set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice and, in the event the Company has failed to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate to the Holder on or prior to the Preferred Share Delivery Date, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares represented by such Preferred Share Certificate as of the Preferred Share Delivery Date and (II) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Share Delivery Date, in the case of the failure to deliver Common Stock, or the Preferred Share Delivery Date, in the case of failure to deliver a Preferred Share Certificate. If the Company fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(d)(v) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Holder entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Company continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Company, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price in effect on such Conversion Date as specified by the Holder in the Conversion Notice. In addition to the foregoing, if within three (3) Business Days after the Company's receipt of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Holder or credit such Holder's balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled upon such Holder's conversion of Preferred Shares, and if on or after such Business Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a "Buy-In"), then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Holder's request and in the Holder's discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder's total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Stock so purchased (the "Buy-In Price"), at which point the Company's obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock times (B) the Closing Sale Price on the Conversion Date.

(ii)  Void Conversion Notice; Adjustment of Conversion Price. If for any reason a Holder has not received all of the Common Stock to which such Holder is entitled prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of Preferred Shares, then the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Transfer Agent, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any Preferred Shares that have not been converted pursuant to such Holder's Conversion Notice; provided that the voiding of a Holder's Conversion Notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(d)(v)(A) or otherwise. Thereafter, the Conversion Price of any Preferred Shares returned or retained by the Holder for failure to timely convert shall be adjusted to the lesser of (I) the Conversion Price relating to the voided Conversion Notice and (II) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Stock during the period beginning on the Conversion Date and ending on the date such Holder voided the Conversion Notice, subject to further adjustment as provided in this Certificate of Designations.
 
39

 
(f)  Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. Subject to Section 12, in the event the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one Holder for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such Preferred Shares, the Company shall convert from each Holder electing to have Preferred Shares converted at such time a pro rata amount of such Holder's Preferred Shares submitted for conversion based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date by such Holder relative to the number of Preferred Shares submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to a Holder in connection with a conversion of Preferred Shares, the Company shall issue to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 2(d)(iii).
 
(g)  Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, any Holder thereof shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company unless (A) the full or remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by the certificate are being converted or (B) such Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of Preferred Shares upon physical surrender of any Preferred Shares. The Holders and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Preferred Shares so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holders and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of the certificate representing the Preferred Shares upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Company establishing the number of Preferred Shares to which the record holder is entitled shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Preferred Shares represented by a certificate are converted as aforesaid, a Holder may not transfer the certificate representing the Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:

Preferred Shares unless such Holder first physically surrenders the certificate representing the Preferred Shares to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of such Holder a new certificate of like tenor, registered as such Holder may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate. A Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of a certificate, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of any Preferred Shares, the number of Preferred Shares represented by such certificate may be less than the number of Preferred Shares stated on the face thereof. Each certificate for Preferred Shares shall bear the following legend:
 
ANY TRANSFEREE OF THIS CERTIFICATE SHOULD CAREFULLY REVIEW THE TERMS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE, INCLUDING SECTION 2(d)(vii) THEREOF. THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY BE LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF PREFERRED SHARES STATED ON THE FACE HEREOF PURSUANT TO SECTION 2(d)(vii) OF THE CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS RELATING TO THE PREFERRED SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE.
 
3.5 Taxes. The Company shall pay any and all documentary, stamp, transfer (but only in respect of the registered holder thereof) and other similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon the conversion of Preferred Shares.
 
3.6 Adjustments to Conversion Price. The Conversion Price will be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 2(f).
 
(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If and whenever on or after the Subscription Date, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 2(f) is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Stock (including the issuance or sale of Common Stock owned or held by or for the account of the Company but excluding Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share (the "New Securities Issuance Price") less than a price (the "Applicable Price") equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such time (a "Dilutive Issuance"), then immediately after such issue or sale, the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities Issuance Price. For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 2(f)(i), the following shall be applicable:
 
(i)  Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(A), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
41

 
(ii)  Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(B), the "lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise" shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2(f)(i), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
42

 
(iii)  Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 2(f)(i)(C), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of the Preferred Shares are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
 
(iv)  Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the fair market value of such Options. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Required Holders. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the "Valuation Event"), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
 
43

 
(v)  Record Date. If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (I) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities or (II) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
 
(b) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any share split, share dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. If the Company at any time after the Subscription Date combines (by combination, reverse share split or otherwise) its outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased.
 
(c) Other Events. If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 2(f) but not expressly provided for by such provisions, then the Company's Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holders; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 2(f).
 
(d) Notices.
 
(i) Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to this Section 2(f), the Company will give written notice thereof to each Holder, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of such adjustment, then such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2(d)(iii).
 
44

 
(ii) The Company will give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (I) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (II) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (III) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
 
(iii) The Company will also give written notice to each Holder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which any Fundamental Transaction or Liquidation Event will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such Holder.
 
(e) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. The Company may at any time, while any Series D-1 Preferred Shares are outstanding, reduce the then current Conversion Price to any amount and for any price deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
ARTICLE IV.Triggering Event.
 
4.1 Triggering Event. A "Triggering Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events:
 
(a) the Company's (A) failure to cure a Conversion Failure by delivery of the required number of shares of Common Stock within ten (10) Trading Days after the applicable Conversion Date or (B) notice, written or oral, to any Holder, including by way of public announcement or through any of its agents, at any time, of its intention not to comply, as required, with a request for conversion of any Preferred Shares into Common Stock that is tendered in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations;
 
(b) the Company's failure to pay to the Holder any Dividends, Redemption Price, Change of Control Redemption Price, or other amounts when and as due pursuant to this Certificate of Designations or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement);
 
(c) any event of default occurs with respect to any Indebtedness, including borrowings under the Credit and Security Agreement dated as of February 9, 2006 (the "Credit Agreement") with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), under which the obligee or obligees of such Indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000,000 million in outstanding Indebtedness; or
 
45

 
(d) the Company breaches any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document; provided, however, that (A) in the case of a breach of a covenant or other term or condition herein or in any Transaction Document which is curable, only if such breach remains uncured for a period of at least ten (10) consecutive Business Days after the expiration of any applicable cure period and (B) in the case of any representation, warranty or covenant which is not already so qualified, the breach of the representation, warranty or covenant by the Company could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on the Company or on the Holder.
 
4.2 Redemption Option Upon Triggering Event. In addition to all other rights of the Holders contained herein, after a Triggering Event, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at a price per Preferred Share equal to the greater of (x) the Conversion Amount and (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Rate in effect at such time as such Holder delivers a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder (as defined below) and (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Triggering Event (the "Triggering Redemption Price").
 
4.3 Mechanics of Redemption at Option of Buyer.
 
(a) Within one (1) Business Day after the occurrence of a qualifying Triggering Event, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Triggering Event") to each Holder.
 
(b) At any time after the earlier of a Holder's receipt of a Notice of Triggering Event and such Holder becoming aware of a Triggering Event, any Holder of Preferred Shares then outstanding may require the Company to redeem up to all of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier ("Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder") to the Company, which Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall indicate the number of Preferred Shares that such Holder is electing to redeem.
 
4.4 Payment of Redemption Price. Upon the Company's receipt of a Notice(s) of Redemption at Option of Buyer from any Holder, the Company shall immediately notify each Holder by facsimile of the Company's receipt of such notice(s). The Company shall deliver on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder the applicable Redemption Price to all Holders that deliver a Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Company's receipt of the first Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder; provided that, if required by Section 2(d)(vii), a Holder's Preferred Share Certificates shall have been delivered to the Transfer Agent. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 3 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. If the Company is unable to redeem all of the Preferred Shares submitted for redemption, the Company shall (i) redeem a pro rata amount from each Holder based on the number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by such Holder relative to the total number of Preferred Shares submitted for redemption by all Holders and (ii) in addition to any remedy such Holder may have under this Certificate of Designation and the Securities Purchase Agreement, pay to each Holder interest at the rate of 3.0% per month (prorated for partial months) in respect of each unredeemed Preferred Share until paid in full. The Holders and Company agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any Preferred Shares under this Section 3, the Holders' damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holders. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holders' actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.
 
46

 
4.5 Void Redemption. In the event that the Company does not pay the Redemption Price within the time period set forth in Section 3(d), at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid applicable Redemption Price in full, a Holder shall have the option to, in lieu of redemption, require the Company to promptly return to such Holder any or all of the Preferred Shares that were submitted for redemption by such Holder under this Section 3 and for which the applicable Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) has not been paid, by sending written notice thereof to the Company via facsimile (the "Void Optional Redemption Notice"). Upon the Company's receipt of such Void Optional Redemption Notice, (i) the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder shall be null and void with respect to those Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, (ii) the Company shall immediately return any Preferred Shares subject to the Void Optional Redemption Notice, and (iii) the Conversion Price of such returned Preferred Shares shall be adjusted to the lesser of (A) the Conversion Price as in effect on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company and (B) the lowest Weighted Average Price of the Common Shares during the period beginning on the date on which the Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder is delivered to the Company and ending on the date on which the Void Optional Redemption Notice is delivered to the Company.
 
4.6 Disputes; Miscellaneous. In the event of a dispute as to the determination of the arithmetic calculation of the Redemption Price, such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2(d)(iii) above with the term "Redemption Price" being substituted for the term "Conversion Rate". A Holder's delivery of a Void Optional Redemption Notice and exercise of its rights following such notice shall not effect the Company's obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice. In the event of a redemption pursuant to this Section 3 of less than all of the Preferred Shares represented by a particular Preferred Share Certificate, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder of such Preferred Shares a Preferred Share Certificate representing the remaining Preferred Shares which have not been redeemed, if necessary.
 
47

 
ARTICLE V.Other Rights of Holders.
 
5.1 Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and approved by the Required Holders prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Preferred Shares in exchange for such Preferred Shares a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Certificate of Designations, including, without limitation, having a stated value and dividend rate equal to the Stated Value and Dividend Rate of the Preferred Shares held by such holder and having similar ranking to the Preferred Shares, and reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Certificate of Designations referring to the "Company" shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Certificate of Designations with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares at any time after the consummation of the Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such publicly traded common shares (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Certificate of Designations. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of the Preferred Shares.
 
5.2 Purchase Rights. If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase shares, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the "Purchase Rights"), then the Holders will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of the Preferred Shares (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of the Preferred Shares) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
48

 
ARTICLE VI.[Reserved].
 
ARTICLE VII.Authorized Shares.
 
7.1 Reservation. The Company shall have reserved not less than 25,000,000 of the shares of its authorized Common Stock for the conversion of the Preferred Shares and the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of all of the Warrants. The Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock the number of shares required to be reserved by the this paragraph (without regard to any limitations on conversions) (the "Required Amount"). The initial number of shares of Common Stock reserved for conversions of the Preferred Shares and each increase in the number of shares so reserved shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders based on the number of Preferred Shares held by each Holder at the time of issuance of the Preferred Shares or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the "Authorized Share Allocation"). In the event a Holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Holder's Preferred Shares, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the number of reserved shares of Common Stock reserved for such transferor. Any Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Preferred Shares shall be allocated to the remaining Holders of Preferred Shares, pro rata based on the number of Preferred Shares then held by such Holders.
 
7.2 Insufficient Authorized Shares. After the Capital Increase, if at any time while any of the Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to have available for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Amount (an "Authorized Share Failure"), then the Company shall as promptly as practicable take use reasonable best efforts to increase the Company's authorized Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to have available the Required Amount for the Preferred Shares then outstanding.
 
ARTICLE VIII.Voting Rights.
 
8.1 General Voting. Each Holder shall be entitled to the whole number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such holder's Preferred Shares would be convertible on the record date for the vote or consent of stockholders, and shall otherwise have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock. Each holder shall be entitled to receive the same prior notice of any stockholders' meeting as is provided to the holders of Common Stock in accordance with the bylaws of the Company, as well as prior notice of all stockholder actions to be taken by legally available means in lieu of a meeting and shall vote as a class with the holders of Common Stock on all matters, except those matters required by law or by the terms hereof to be submitted to a class vote of the Holders of Preferred Shares, in which case the Holders of Preferred Shares only shall vote as a separate class.
 
49

 
8.2 Board Size. The authorized number of directors of the Company's Board of Directors shall initially be five (5); provided, however, that at any time following the approval of the Required Holders the authorized number of directors of the Company's Board of Directors may be increased or decreased from five (5) members.
 
8.3 Board of Directors Election. So long as Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (the "Investor") or an affiliate of the Investor continues to hold at least twenty five percent (25%) of the cumulative aggregate number of Preferred Shares issued to the Investor on the Initial Issuance Date, the Investor shall be entitled to elect one (1) director to the Board of Directors of the Company (an "Investor Designee") at each annual election of directors; provided, however, that any Investor Designee other than Joan P. Neuscheler must be approved by the Company, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At any meeting held of the purpose of electing or nominating directors, the presence in person or by proxy of the Investor or its designee shall constituted a quorum for the election or nomination of the Investor Designee. Any director elected as provided herein may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, either with or without cause, by, and only by, the affirmative vote of the Investor or its designee, given either at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders, and any vacancy thereby created may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at the meeting or pursuant to written consent of such holders. In case of any vacancy (other than a vacancy caused by removal) in the office of a director occurring among the director elected by the Investor or its designee pursuant hereto, the vacancy thereby created may be filled by the Investor or its designee represented at a special meeting of such stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to written consent of the Investor or its designee.
 
ARTICLE IX.Change of Control Redemption Right. (a) No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "Change of Control Notice"). In the event that the Successor Entity is not a publicly traded corporation whose common shares are quoted or listed for trading on an Eligible Market, at any time during the period (the "Change of Control Period") beginning after a Holder's receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to any payment on any Junior Shares (as defined below) all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("Change of Control Redemption Notice") to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to (the "Change of Control Redemption Price") the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the aggregate Change of Control Transaction Consideration (as defined below) by (II) the Conversion Price. In the event that any of the Change of Control Redemption Price is based on any Non-Cash Consideration (as defined below) (a "Non-Cash Change of Control"), then the Holder shall be entitled to indicate in its Change of Control Redemption Notice (the "Alternate Change of Control Redemption") that the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to (i) cash in an amount equal to 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) in exchange for the surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares (as defined below), the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment (as defined below) (the cash payments under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the "Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment") and (iii) as to the Change of Control Balance Amount (as defined below), the same form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that paid upon consummation of the Change of Control. The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "Change of Control Redemption Date"). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8 are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, until the Change of Control Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(a) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the Change of Control, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under this Section 8(a), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8(a) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the Change of Control Redemption Price on the Change of Control Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term "Change of Control Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption Price" and "Change of Control Redemption Notice" being substituted for "Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder".
 
50

 
For purposes of this Section 8(a), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

"Change of Control Balance Amount" means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the Change of Control Cash Balance Amount divided by (y) Change of Control Transaction Consideration.
 
51


"Change of Control Cash Balance Amount" means (A) the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the sum of (I) the Total Dividend Shares and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the applicable Conversion Amount at then applicable Conversion Price minus (B) the Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment.

"Change of Control Dividend Share Payment" means a cash payment equal to the product of (x) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the number of Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares.

"Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares" means a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient of (x) the number of Dividend Shares previously issued to the Holder (the "Total Dividend Shares") and (y) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration.

"Change of Control Transaction Consideration" means an amount per share of Common Stock equal to the cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration ("Non-Cash Consideration") per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of Common Stock upon consummation of the Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration consisting of marketable securities to be valued at the higher of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to or the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and any other non-cash consideration to be valued in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).

Solely for purposes of clarification, in the event of a Non-Cash Change of Control and assuming that (a) the Non-Cash Change of Control occurs on the one year anniversary of the Issuance Date, (b) that 10,000 Preferred Shares are outstanding (such that the Conversion Amount equals $10,000,000), (c) there are no accrued but unpaid Dividends at such time, (d) Dividend Shares were issued at the Conversion Price (such that the 8.25% Dividend Rate for the first year yielded 537,880 Dividend Shares issued ($10,000,000 x 8.25%/$1.5338)), (e) solely for purposes of this example, compounding is ignored in calculating Dividends (if compounding were not ignored, the number of Dividend Shares in clause (d) would have been 554,750), (f) the Change of Control Transaction Consideration is $3 per share, and (g) the Holder elects to redeem all of its Preferred Shares (i.e., 10,000 Preferred Shares) in such Non-Cash Change of Control pursuant to the Alternate Change of Control Redemption, then the Change of Control Redemption Price shall be equal to:

(i) $11,000,000 (the Conversion Amount of $10,000,000 times 110%),

plus

(ii) in exchange for the surrender to the Company of the Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares, which are 179,293 of the Dividend Shares of the Holder (the quotient of (x) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares previously issued to the Holder and (y) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration), $537,880 (the Change of Control Dividend Share Payment which is the product of (x) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) the 179,293 Change of Control Eligible Dividend Shares),
 
52


plus

(iii) the same form of consideration per share of Common Stock as that being paid upon consummation of the Change of Control as to 3,211,675 shares of Common Stock (determined as the quotient of:

(x) the Change of Control Cash Balance Amount ($9,635,025 (determined as (A) $21,172,905 (the product of (x) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration and (y) 7,057,635 (the sum of (I) the 537,880 Total Dividend Shares and (II) the 6,519,755 shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of the $10,000,000 Conversion Amount at the Conversion Price of $1.5338)) minus (B) the $11,537,880 Alternate Change of Control Cash Payment (the sum of (i) $11,000,000 and $537,880))

and

(y) the $3 Change of Control Transaction Consideration).

9.1 No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Rule 13e-3 Transaction, but not prior to the public announcement of such Rule 13e-3 Transaction, the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Holders (a "13e-3 Notice"). At any time during the period (the "13e-3 Period") beginning after a Holder's receipt of a 13e-3 Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction, such Holder may require the Company to redeem prior to the payment of any Junior Shares all or any portion of such Holder's Preferred Shares by delivering written notice thereof ("13e-3 Redemption Notice") to the Company, which 13e-3 Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. Any Preferred Shares subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greater of (i) 110% of the Conversion Amount being redeemed and (ii) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Price over the twenty Trading Day period immediately prior to consummation of such Rule 13e-3 Transaction by (II) the Conversion Price (the "13e-3 Redemption Price"). The Company shall made payment of the 13e-3 Redemption Price concurrently with the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction if such a 13e-3 Redemption Notice is received prior to the consummation of such 13e-3 Transaction and within five (5) Trading Days after the Company's receipt of such notice otherwise (the "13e-3 Redemption Date"). To the extent redemptions required by this Section 8(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the Preferred Shares by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8(b), until the 13e-3 Redemption Price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 8(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock, or in the event the Conversion Date is after the consummation of the 13e-3 Transaction, shares or equity interests of the Successor Entity substantially equivalent to the Company's Common Stock pursuant to Section 2(c)(i). The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Company's redemption of any portion of the Preferred Shares under this Section 8(b), the Holder's damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties' inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 8(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder's actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. In the event that the Company does not pay the 13e-3 Redemption Price on the 13e-3 Redemption Date, then the Holder shall have the right to void the redemption pursuant to Section 3(e) with the term "13e-3 Redemption Price" being substituted for "Redemption Price" and "13e-3 Redemption Notice" being substituted for "Notice of Redemption at Option of Holder".

ARTICLE X.COMPANY'S RIGHT OF MANDATORY CONVERSION
 
10.1 Mandatory Conversion. If at any time beginning with the fiscal quarter of the Company ending on June 30, 2007, (the "Mandatory Conversion Eligibility Date"), (i) the Company has (A) been Profitable for two (2) consecutive fiscal quarters (not taking into account any non-cash charges related to the issuance and sale of the Preferred Shares) (each such quarter, a "Positive Quarter") and (B) filed 25 ANDAs including 12 from a list agreed upon by the Required Holders and the Company, and (ii) the Equity Conditions shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Holder on each day during the period commencing on the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date and ending on the Mandatory Conversion Date (each, as defined below), the Company shall have the right to require the Holder to convert up to all of the Conversion Amount into fully paid, validly issued and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof at the Conversion Rate as of the Mandatory Conversion Date (as defined below) (a "Mandatory Conversion"). The Company may exercise its right to require conversion under this Section 9(a) on one occasion by delivering within not more than two (2) Trading Days following the end of the public announcement of such second consecutive Positive Quarter a written notice thereof by facsimile and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the Holders of Preferred Shares and the Transfer Agent (the "Mandatory Conversion Notice" and the date all of the Holders received such notice by facsimile is referred to as the "Mandatory Conversion Notice Date"). The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable. The Mandatory Conversion Notice shall state (i) the Trading Day selected for the Mandatory Conversion in accordance with Section 9(a), which Trading Day shall be at least twenty (20) Business Days but not more than sixty (60) Business Days following the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date (the "Mandatory Conversion Date"), (ii) the number of Preferred Shares of such Holder subject to the Mandatory Conversion, (iii) the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Preferred Shares subject to Mandatory Conversion from all of the Holders of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 9 and (iv) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to such Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect a Mandatory Conversion of any applicable Holder under this Section if the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares of any Holder subject to a Mandatory Conversion would cause such Holder's beneficial ownership of the Common Stock to exceed the Maximum Percentage as set forth in Section 5.
 
54


10.2 Pro Rata Conversion Requirements.
 
(a) If the Company elects to cause a conversion of any Conversion Amount of Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 9(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action in the same proportion with respect to all Preferred Shares.
 
(b) All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Mandatory Conversion Notice Date shall reduce the Conversion Amount required to be converted on the Mandatory Conversion Date. If the Company has elected a Mandatory Conversion, the mechanics of conversion set forth in Section 2(d) shall apply, to the extent applicable, as if the Company and the Transfer Agent had received from the Holder on the Mandatory Conversion Date a Conversion Notice with respect to the Conversion Amount being converted pursuant to the Mandatory Conversion.
 
ARTICLE XI.Liquidation, Dissolution, Winding-Up. In the event of a Liquidation Event, the Holders shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company, whether from capital or from earnings available for distribution to its stockholders (the "Liquidation Funds"), before any amount shall be paid to the holders of any of the capital shares of the Company of any class junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments on the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company ("Junior Shares"), an amount per Preferred Share equal to the Conversion Amount; provided that, if the Liquidation Funds are insufficient to pay the full amount due to the Holders and holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company that are of equal rank with the Preferred Shares as to payments of Liquidation Funds (the "Pari Passu Shares"), then each Holder and Pari Passu Shares shall receive a percentage of the Liquidation Funds equal to the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to such Holder as a liquidation preference, in accordance with their respective certificate of designations (or equivalent), as a percentage of the full amount of Liquidation Funds payable to all holders of Preferred Shares and Pari Passu Shares. To the extent necessary, the Company shall cause such actions to be taken by any of its Subsidiaries so as to enable, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the proceeds of a Liquidation Event to be distributed to the Holders in accordance with this Section. All the preferential amounts to be paid to the Holders under this Section shall be paid or set apart for payment before the payment or setting apart for payment of any amount for, or the distribution of any Liquidation Funds of the Company to the holders of shares of other classes or series of preferred shares of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in connection with a Liquidation Event as to which this Section applies. The purchase or redemption by the Company of shares of any class, in any manner permitted by law, shall not, for the purposes hereof, be regarded as a Liquidation Event.
 
55

 
ARTICLE XII.Preferred Rank. All Common Stock shall be of junior rank to all Preferred Shares with respect to the preferences as to dividends, distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The rights of the Common Stock shall be subject to the preferences and relative rights of the Preferred Shares. Without the prior express written consent of the Required Holders, the Company shall not hereafter authorize or issue additional or other capital shares that is of senior or pari-passu rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Company shall be permitted to issue preferred shares that are junior in rank to the Preferred Shares in respect of the preferences as to distributions and payments upon the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company, provided that the maturity date (or any other date requiring redemption or repayment of such preferred shares) of any such junior preferred shares are not on or before the date no Preferred Shares are outstanding. In the event of the merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation, the Preferred Shares shall maintain their relative powers, designations and preferences provided for herein and no merger shall result inconsistent therewith.
 
ARTICLE XIII.Limitation on Number of Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be obligated to issue any shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants if the issuance of such Common Stock would exceed that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Preferred Shares without breaching the Company's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market (the "Exchange Cap"), except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company (a) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal Market (or any successor rule or regulation) for issuances of Common Stock in excess of such amount, or (b) obtains a written opinion from outside counsel to the Company that such approval is not required, which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders. Until such approval or written opinion is obtained, no purchaser of Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchasers") shall be issued, in the aggregate, upon conversion of Preferred Shares or exercise of the Warrants, Common Stock in an amount greater than the product of (i) the Exchange Cap amount multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Preferred Shares issued to such Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all the Preferred Shares issued to the Purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement on the Initial Issuance Date (the "Exchange Cap Allocation"). In the event that any Purchaser shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such Purchaser's Preferred Shares, the transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such Purchaser's Exchange Cap Allocation. In the event that any Holder shall convert all of such Holder's Preferred Shares into a number of shares of Common Stock which, in the aggregate, is less than such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation, then the difference between such Holder's Exchange Cap Allocation and the number of shares of Common Stock actually issued to such Holder shall be allocated to the respective Exchange Cap Allocations of the remaining Holders on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of Preferred Shares then held by each such Holder.
 
56

 
ARTICLE XIV.Protective Provisions. So long as the Investor holds at least 25% of the Preferred Shares issued on the Initial Issuance Date, in addition to any other rights provided by law, except where the vote or written consent of the holders of a greater number of shares is required by law or by another provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, without first obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose or the written consent without a meeting of the Required Holders, voting together as a single class, the Company shall not:
 
14.1 amend or repeal any provision of, or add any provision to, the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, or file any certificate of designations or articles of amendment of any series of preferred shares, if such action would materially adversely alter or change the preferences, rights, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of the Preferred Shares, regardless of whether any such action shall be by means of amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise;
 
14.2 increase or decrease (other than by conversion) the authorized number of Preferred Shares;
 
14.3 issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to officers, directors or employees of, or consultants (that are affiliates of the Company) to, the Company in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
14.4 issue any shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock options or other equity securities to independent third parties (e.g., investment banks, investor relations firms, consultants that are not affiliates of the Company) in excess of 2% of the fully diluted number of shares of Common Stock on the Initial Issuance Date;
 
14.5 pay dividends or make any other distribution on the capital stock of the Company other than (i) dividends on the Preferred Stock or (ii) solely at such time as the Company is not in breach under any Transaction Document or under the Credit Agreement, the stated dividends on the shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock;
 
14.6 except as permitted herein, purchase, repurchase or redeem any shares of capital stock of the Company, excluding shares of Common Stock repurchased from an employee, consultant, officer or director pursuant to a restricted stock purchase agreement or an equity incentive agreement with employees giving the Company the right to repurchase shares upon the termination of services;
 
14.7 effect any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company;
 
14.8 issue any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock at a price per share of Common Stock less than the Purchase Price (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (as adjusted from time to time to reflect stock slits, stock dividends, subdivisions, combinations, consolidations and other similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock); provided, however, that if the Company has issued less than 15,000 Preferred Shares pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, then the Company, provided it has complied with its obligations pursuant to Section 4(o) of the Securities Purchase Agreement, may 90 or more days after the Subscription Date, issue shares of Common Stock in an amount not in excess of the difference between the aggregate Purchase Price for all Preferred Shares issued in accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement and $15,000,000.00;
 
57

 
14.9 enter into or amend any agreement with any stockholder, officer, director, any affiliate thereof or any other affiliate of the Company, other than on an arms' length basis;
 
14.10 issue any Indebtedness that creates an obligation for the Company to repay in the aggregate more than $50 million in principal and interest;
 
14.11 effect any acquisition of an equity interest or rights to acquire equity in any Person or assets of any Person, other than (i) a Person in which the Company owns a minority interest as of the Subscription Date and (ii) acquisitions in which the sole consideration consists of equity securities of the Company; provided, that, the value of any equity issued in accordance with clause (i) and (ii) shall not exceed $5 million in the aggregate;
 
14.12 whether or not prohibited by the terms of the Preferred Shares, circumvent a right of the Preferred Shares; or
 
14.13 agree to any of the foregoing.
 
ARTICLE XV.Lost or Stolen Certificates. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Preferred Share Certificates representing the Preferred Shares, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of an indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Preferred Share Certificate(s), the Company shall execute and deliver new Preferred Share Certificate(s) of like tenor and date; provided, however, the Company shall not be obligated to re-issue Preferred Share Certificates if the Holder contemporaneously requests the Company to convert such Preferred Shares into Common Stock.
 
ARTICLE XVI.Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Certificate of Designations shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Certificate of Designations, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief). No remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designations. The Company covenants to each Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holders and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holders shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
 
58

 
ARTICLE XVII.Construction. This Certificate of Designations shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and all Holders and shall not be construed against any person as the drafter hereof.
 
ARTICLE XVIII.Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
 
ARTICLE XIX.Notice. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Certificate of Designations, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement (provided that if the Preferred Shares are not held by a Buyer (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) then substituting the words "holder of Securities" for the word "Buyer").
 
ARTICLE XX.Transfer of Preferred Shares. A Holder may assign some or all of the Preferred Shares and the accompanying rights hereunder held by such Holder without the consent of the Company; provided that such assignment is in compliance with applicable securities laws.
 
ARTICLE XXI.Preferred Share Register. The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the Holders), a register for the Preferred Shares, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the Persons in whose name the Preferred Shares have been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee. The Company may treat the person in whose name any Preferred Share is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any properly made transfers.
 
ARTICLE XXII.Stockholder Matters. Any stockholder action, approval or consent required, desired or otherwise sought by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise with respect to the issuance of the Preferred Shares or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof or the issuance of any Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise thereof may be effected by written consent of the Company's stockholders or at a duly called meeting of the Company's stockholders, all in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. This provision is intended to comply with the applicable sections of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware permitting stockholder action, approval and consent affected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.
 
59

 
ARTICLE XXIII.Disclosure. Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Certificate of Designations, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holders contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holders shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
 
ARTICLE XXIV.Redemption in Lieu of Sale. The Company may redeem the Preferred Shares in accordance with Section 4(r) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

WARRANT
 
Warrant No. [ ]
Dated: [_________], 2008

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [______________] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [     ]1  shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $0.95 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November ___, 2007, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). All such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
 
ARTICLE XXV.Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
ARTICLE XXVI.Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 

2 Holder’s pro rata share of 1,842,103.
 
64

 
ARTICLE XXVII.Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
ARTICLE XXVIII.Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
 
28.1 This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.
 
28.2 A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
ARTICLE XXIX.Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
29.1 Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.

29.2 This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
29.3 In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the fifth Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by this Warrant, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
 
29.4 The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
ARTICLE XXX.Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
66

 
ARTICLE XXXI.Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
 
ARTICLE XXXII.Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
ARTICLE XXXIII.Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
 
33.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
67

 
33.2 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm selected by the Company (an “Appraiser”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to Section 9(e) below, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property.
 
33.3 Fundamental Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(A) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
 
68

 
(B) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(C) if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 9(c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
33.4 Antidilution Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 9(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock, for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities Issuance Price.
 
For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 10(d), the following shall be applicable:
 
(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
69

 
(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 9(d)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(d), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(c) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time (other than Excluded Stock), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. On the expiration of any Option or Convertible Security not exercised, the applicable Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would increase the applicable Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the adjustment originally made to the Exercise Price in respect of the issue, sale or grant of the applicable Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall an adjustment to the Exercise Price be made retroactively with respect to any portion of the Warrant which has been exercised prior to the actual date of the dilutive issuance or change. In addition, to clarify for purposes of this Section 9(d), if an Option or Convertible Security has a price reset or similar provision that would cause the price to adjust based on a future event or contingency, then the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall not become such adjusted price unless and until the happening of such event or contingency that actually gives effect to the adjustment.
 
70

 
(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, then solely for purposes of this Section 9(d), the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the exercise price of such Option. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and Required Holders in good faith. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Required Holders.
 
33.5 Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
33.6 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
71

 
33.7 Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than 10 Trading Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
 
33.8 Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
ARTICLE XXXIV.Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is not continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
where:
 
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.

72

 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
ARTICLE XXXV.Intentionally Blank.
 
ARTICLE XXXVI.Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
ARTICLE XXXVII.Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company’s Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 13.
 
ARTICLE XXXVIII.Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
 
73

 
ARTICLE XXXIX.Miscellaneous.
 
39.1 This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrowers shall not be permitted to assign this Note.
 
39.2 The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
39.3 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
39.4 The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
74

 
39.5 In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.

The Debtors hereby authorize the Collateral Agent to adopt on behalf of the Debtors any symbol required for authenticating any electronic filing. In the event that the description of the collateral in any financing statement naming the Collateral Agent or its designee as the secured party and the Debtors as debtors includes assets and properties of the Debtors that do not at any time constitute Collateral, whether hereunder, under any of the other Documents or otherwise, the filing of such financing statement shall nonetheless be deemed authorized by the Debtors to the extent of the Collateral included in such description and it shall not render the financing statement ineffective as to any of the Collateral or otherwise affect the financing statement as it applies to any of the Collateral.

On the Closing Date, the Debtors shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a power of attorney (the “Power of Attorney”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. The power of attorney granted pursuant to the Power of Attorney is a power coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable until the Termination Date. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, under the Power of Attorney are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interests (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Secured Parties to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent agrees with the Secured Parties and the Borrowers that (a) except for the powers granted in clause (h) of the Power of Attorney, it shall not exercise any power or authority granted under the Power of Attorney unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) it shall not exercise any power or authority under the Power of Attorney unless such action has been approved in writing by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes outstanding held by Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P., Aisling Capital II, L.P. and Cameron Reid or any of their successors in interest or transferees (the Required Holders), and (c) the Collateral Agent shall account for any moneys received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any foreclosure on or disposition of Collateral pursuant to the Power of Attorney provided that the Secured Parties shall not have any duty as to any Collateral, and the Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers. NONE OF THE SECURED PARTIES OR THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR REPRESENTATIVES SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE DEBTORS FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT IN RESPECT OF DAMAGES ATTRIBUTABLE SOLELY TO THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT AS FINALLY DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.

6. Remedies: Rights Upon Default.
 
(a) In addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it under this Security Agreement, the other Note Documents and under any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to any of the Secured Obligations, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent may exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Debtors expressly agree that in any such event the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except the notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon the Debtors or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law), may forthwith enter upon the premises of the Debtors where any Collateral is located through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Debtors or any other Person notice and opportunity for a hearing on the Secured Parties’ claim or action and may collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and may forthwith sell, lease, license, assign, give an option or options to purchase, or sell or otherwise dispose of and deliver said Collateral (or contract to do so), or any part thereof, in one or more parcels at a public or private sale or sales, at any exchange at such prices as it may deem acceptable, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the whole or any part of said Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which equity of redemption the Debtors hereby release. Such sales may be adjourned and continued from time to time with or without notice. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to conduct such sales on the Debtors’ premises or elsewhere and shall have the right to use the Debtors’ premises without charge for such time or times as the Collateral Agent deems necessary or advisable.
 
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtors further agree, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places designated by the Collateral Agent which are reasonably convenient to the Collateral Agent and the Debtors, whether at the Debtors’ premises or elsewhere. Until the Collateral Agent is able to affect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation to the Debtors to maintain or preserve the rights of the Debtors as against third parties with respect to Collateral while Collateral is in the possession of the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may, if they so elect, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of the Secured Parties’ or Collateral Agent’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale to the Secured Obligations as provided in the Note Documents, and only after so paying over such net proceeds, and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Debtors. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Debtors hereby waive all claims, damages, and demands against the Secured Parties and the Collateral Agent arising out of the repossession, retention or sale of the Collateral except such as arise solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Secured Party or Collateral Agent as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Debtors agree that ten (10) days prior notice by the Collateral Agent of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which a private sale may take place is reasonable notification of such matters. The Debtors shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all Secured Obligations, including any attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(b) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Debtors hereby waive presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral.
 
(c) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Debtors acknowledge and agree that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Debtors, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Secured Parties and/or the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Secured Parties a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. The Debtors acknowledge that the purpose of this Section 6(c) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Secured Parties’ or Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6(c). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6(c) shall be construed to grant any rights to the Debtors or to impose any duties on the Secured Parties or Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 6(c).
 
7

 
(d) The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies against, the Debtors, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of their rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, and all of its and their rights hereunder or under any other Document shall be cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Debtors absolutely and irrevocably waive and relinquish the benefit and advantage of, and covenant not to assert against the Secured Parties or the Collateral Agent, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as sureties now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise.
 
7. Grant Of Licenses To Use Intellectual Property Collateral. For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under Section 6 hereof (including, without limiting the terms of Section 6 hereof, in order to take possession of, hold, preserve, process, assemble, prepare for sale, market for sale, sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral) at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, the Debtors hereby grant to the Collateral Agent, irrevocable, nonexclusive licenses (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtors) to use, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Debtors, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such licenses access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Debtors shall indemnify and hold the Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent, their respective Affiliates, and each of their directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the termination of the Secured Obligations and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Collateral Agent or any assignment by a Secured Party) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnified Person in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Security Agreement, the other Note Documents or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of any Indemnified Person; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Person, be available to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 8 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Debtors, their directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not an Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Note Documents are consummated. All amounts due under this Section 8 shall be payable within five Business Days after demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 8 shall survive the resignation of the Collateral Agent, the assignment by a Secured Party and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Secured Obligations. In the event that any investigation, litigation or proceeding is asserted or threatened in writing or instituted against any Indemnified Person, or any remedial, removal or response action which is requested of it or any other Indemnified Person, for which such Indemnified Person may desire indemnity or defense hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Debtors in writing of such event; provided that failure to so notify the Debtors shall not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to seek indemnification under this Section 8.
 
(b) The Debtors will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Security Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of the Debtors, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by the Debtors to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

(c) The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in their possession or under their control. The Secured Parties and Collateral Agent shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of the Secured Parties, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto.
 
9. Collateral Agent.
 
(a) Collateral Agent Has No Duty. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest (on behalf of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty on it to exercise any such powers.
 
(b) Reasonable Care. The Collateral Agent is required to exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral in its possession; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any of the Collateral if it takes such action for that purpose as any owner thereof reasonably requests in writing at times other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but failure of the Collateral Agent, to comply with any such request at any time shall not in itself be deemed a failure to exercise reasonable care.
 
(c) Other Provisions Relating to the Collateral Agent.
 
(i) The Collateral Agent has such powers, rights and obligations as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Security Agreement and the other Note Documents. Subject to Section 9(c)(iv), the Collateral Agent may, from time to time, appoint another Person to act as Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent, acting in its capacity as such, shall have only such duties with respect to the Collateral as are set forth herein.
 
(ii) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into this Security Agreement against the Collateral Agent. In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if so directed by the Required Holders, the Collateral Agent shall exercise those rights and powers vested in it by this Security Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
 
(iii) As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Security Agreement or the other Note Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action or exercise any discretion, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting upon the instructions of the Required Holders and shall in all such cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, in accordance with such instructions of the Required Holders, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to advance or expend any funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers or rights hereunder at the request of the Required Holders unless the Debtors or the Holders have provided to the Collateral Agent security or indemnity, which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable discretion, deems sufficient against any and all liability or expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take such action. The Collateral Agent shall have no liability to either the Borrowers or the Secured Parties, or any of them, for the performance or non-performance of its duties hereunder, provided such performance or non-performance is within the standards and obligations expressly set forth herein.

(iv) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving not less than thirty (30) days’ notice thereof to the Holders and the Debtors. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, (A) such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder, and (B) the retiring Collateral Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or replacement hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the former Collateral Agent shall take all steps necessary to assign the Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent.
 
10. Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Debtors for liquidation or reorganization, should the Debtors become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Debtors’ assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

No failure to exercise nor any delay in exercising on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS INC.
 
WARRANT
 
Warrant No. [ ]
Dated: [_________], 2008

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for value received, [______________] or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase from the Company up to a total of [     ]1  shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (each such share, a “Warrant Share” and all such shares, the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price equal to $0.95 per share (as adjusted from time to time as provided in Section 9, the “Exercise Price”), at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof and through and including the date that is five years from the date of issuance hereof (the “Expiration Date”), and subject to the following terms and conditions. This Warrant (this “Warrant”) is one of a series of similar Warrants issued pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November ___, 2007, by and among the Company and the Purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase Agreement”). All such Warrants are referred to herein, collectively, as the “Warrants.”
 

1 Holder’s pro rata share of 1,842,103.
 
43

 
8. Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Warrant, capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
9. Registration of Warrant. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
 
10. Registration of Transfers. The Company shall register the transfer of any portion of this Warrant in the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant, with the Form of Assignment attached hereto on Annex B duly completed and signed, to the Company at its address specified herein. Upon any such registration or transfer, a new warrant to purchase Common Stock, in substantially the form of this Warrant (any such new warrant, a “New Warrant”), evidencing the portion of this Warrant so transferred shall be issued to the transferee and a New Warrant evidencing the remaining portion of this Warrant not so transferred, if any, shall be issued to the transferring Holder. The acceptance of the New Warrant by the transferee thereof shall be deemed the acceptance by such transferee of all of the rights and obligations of a holder of a Warrant.
 
11. Exercise and Duration of Warrants.
 
11.1 This Warrant shall be exercisable by the registered Holder at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof to and including the Expiration Date. At 6:30 P.M., New York City time on the Expiration Date, the portion of this Warrant not exercised prior thereto shall be and become void and of no value; provided that, if the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Expiration Date exceeds the Exercise Price on the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised in full (to the extent not previously exercised) on a “cashless exercise” basis at 6:30 P.M. New York City time on the Expiration Date if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below.
 
11.2 A Holder may exercise this Warrant by delivering to the Company (i) an exercise notice, in the form attached hereto on Annex A (the “Exercise Notice”), appropriately completed and duly signed, and (ii) payment of the Exercise Price for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant is being exercised (which may take the form of a “cashless exercise” if so indicated in the Exercise Notice and if a “cashless exercise” may occur at such time pursuant to Section 10 below), and the date such items are delivered to the Company (as determined in accordance with the notice provisions hereof) is an “Exercise Date.” The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of the Exercise Notice shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original Warrant and issuance of a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
44

 
12. Delivery of Warrant Shares.
 
12.1 Upon exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than five Trading Days after the Exercise Date) issue or cause to be issued and cause to be delivered to or upon the written order of the Holder and in such name or names as the Holder may designate, a certificate for the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, free of restrictive legends unless a registration statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares and naming the Holder as a selling stockholder thereunder is not then effective and the Warrant Shares are not freely transferable without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. The Holder, or any Person so designated by the Holder to receive Warrant Shares, shall be deemed to have become holder of record of such Warrant Shares as of the Exercise Date. The Company shall, upon request of the Holder and provided a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Warrant Shares is then in effect, use its reasonable best efforts to deliver Warrant Shares hereunder electronically through the Depository Trust Corporation or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions.
 
12.2 This Warrant is exercisable, either in its entirety or, from time to time, for a portion of the number of Warrant Shares. Upon surrender of this Warrant following one or more partial exercises, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, at its expense, a New Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares.
 
12.3 In addition to any other rights available to a Holder, if the Company fails to deliver to the Holder a certificate representing Warrant Shares by the fifth Trading Day after the date on which delivery of such certificate is required by this Warrant, and if after such fifth Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within five Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Price on the date of the event giving rise to the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate.
 
12.4 The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of Warrant Shares. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
 
45

 
13. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance and delivery of certificates for shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder or an Affiliate thereof. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.
 
14. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe.
 
15. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable. The Company will take all such action as may be necessary to assure that such shares of Common Stock may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Common Stock may be listed.
 
16. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.
 
16.1 Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock (other than regular dividends on the Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock the Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
46

 
16.2 Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all of its holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution shall be adjusted (effective on such record date) to equal the product of such Exercise Price times a fraction of which the denominator shall be the average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) such record date and of which the numerator shall be such average less the then fair market value of the Distributed Property distributed in respect of one outstanding share of Common Stock, as determined by the a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm selected by the Company (an “Appraiser”). In such event, the Holder, after receipt of the determination by the Appraiser, shall have the right to select an additional appraiser (which shall be a nationally recognized accounting or investment banking firm), in which case such fair market value shall be deemed to equal the average of the values determined by each of the Appraiser and such appraiser. As an alternative to the foregoing adjustment to the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to Section 9(e) below, at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such record date, the Company will deliver to such Holder, within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of such distribution), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of the Warrant Shares for which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such record date. If such Distributed Property is not delivered to a Holder pursuant to the preceding sentence, then upon expiration of or any exercise of the Warrant that occurs after such record date, such Holder shall remain entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), such Distributed Property.
 
16.3 Fundamental Transactions. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange, pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (other than as a result of a subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock covered by Section 9(a) above) (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). The aggregate Exercise Price for this Warrant will not be affected by any such Fundamental Transaction, but the Company shall apportion such aggregate Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. In the event of a Fundamental Transaction, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Holder a written agreement providing that:
 
(A) this Warrant shall thereafter entitle the Holder to purchase the Alternate Consideration in accordance with this Section 9(c),
 
47

 
(B) in the case of any such successor or purchasing Person, upon such consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination, sale or conveyance such successor or purchasing Person shall be jointly and severally liable with the Company for the performance of all of the Company’s obligations under this Warrant and the Purchase Agreement, and
 
(C) if registration or qualification is required under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or applicable state law for the public resale by the Holder of shares of stock and other securities so issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, such registration or qualification shall be completed prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, statutory exchange, combination or sale.
 
If, in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the Alternate Consideration includes shares of stock, other securities, other property or assets of a Person other than the Company or any such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such Fundamental Transaction, then such written agreement shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holder as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. At the Holder’s request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 9(c) and insuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction. If any Fundamental Transaction constitutes or results in a “Rule 13e-3 transaction” as defined in Rule 13e-3 under the 1934 Act with respect to the Company in which the consideration issued consists principally of cash or stock in a non-public company, then at the request of the Holder delivered before the 90th day after such Fundamental Transaction, the Company (or any such successor or surviving entity) will purchase the Warrant from the Holder for a purchase price, payable in cash within five Trading Days after such request (or, if later, on the effective date of the Fundamental Transaction), equal to the Black-Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such request.
 
48

 
16.4 Antidilution Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock. If at any time this Warrant is outstanding, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 9(d) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, with the exception of Excluded Stock, for a consideration per share (the “New Securities Issuance Price”) less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such time (each such sale or issuance, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then concurrent with such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the New Securities Issuance Price.
 
For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 10(d), the following shall be applicable:
 
(a) Issuance of Options. If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
(b) Issuance of Convertible Securities. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities (other than Excluded Stock) and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance of sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 9(d)(ii), the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security. No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 9(d), no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
49

 
(c) Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time (other than Excluded Stock), the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 9(d)(iii), if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Initial Closing Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change. On the expiration of any Option or Convertible Security not exercised, the applicable Exercise Price then in effect shall forthwith be increased to the Exercise Price that would have been in effect at the time of such expiration had such Stock Purchase Rights or Convertible Securities never been issued. No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would increase the applicable Exercise Price by an amount in excess of the adjustment originally made to the Exercise Price in respect of the issue, sale or grant of the applicable Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall an adjustment to the Exercise Price be made retroactively with respect to any portion of the Warrant which has been exercised prior to the actual date of the dilutive issuance or change. In addition, to clarify for purposes of this Section 9(d), if an Option or Convertible Security has a price reset or similar provision that would cause the price to adjust based on a future event or contingency, then the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall not become such adjusted price unless and until the happening of such event or contingency that actually gives effect to the adjustment.
 
(d) Calculation of Consideration Received. In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, then solely for purposes of this Section 9(d), the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration equal to the exercise price of such Option. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount received by the Company therefor. If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the arithmetic average of the closing price of such securities during the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on the date of receipt of such securities. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and Required Holders in good faith. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser selected by the Company and the Required Holders. The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne equally by the Company and the Required Holders.
 
50

 
16.5 Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to paragraphs (a), (b) or (d) of this Section, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
 
16.6 Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
16.7 Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly, but in any event no later than 10 Trading Days after such occurrence compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
 
16.8 Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to insure that the Holder is given the practical opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.
 
51

 
17. Payment of Exercise Price. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price in immediately available funds; provided, however, that if the Registration Statement did not become effective on or before the Required Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and is not continuously effective through the Expiration Date, the Holder may satisfy its obligation to pay the Exercise Price through a “cashless exercise,” in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares determined as follows:
 
 
X = Y [(A-B)/A]
   
where:
 
 
X = the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.
   
 
Y = the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is being exercised.
   
 
A = the arithmetic average of the Closing Prices for the five Trading Days immediately prior to (but not including) the Exercise Date.
   
 
B = the Exercise Price.
 
For purposes of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act, it is intended, understood and acknowledged that the Warrant Shares issued in a cashless exercise transaction shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
 
18. Intentionally Blank.
 
19. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue or cause to be issued fractional Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant. If any fraction of a Warrant Share would, except for the provisions of this Section, be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of Warrant Shares to be issued will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.
 
20. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including without limitation any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 6:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices or communications shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company’s Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 13.
 
52

 
21. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 30 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or stockholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.
 
22. Miscellaneous.
 
22.1 This Warrant shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Borrowers shall not be permitted to assign this Note.
 
22.2 The Company will not, by amendment of its governing documents 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 of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) will not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor on such exercise, (ii) will take all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares on the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which unreasonably interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.
 
22.3 GOVERNING LAW; VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR DISCUSSED HEREIN (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT, THAT SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IS IMPROPER. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER THIS WARRANT AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE GOOD AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE OF PROCESS AND NOTICE THEREOF. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT IN ANY WAY ANY RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
 
53

 
22.4 The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Warrant and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
22.5 In case any one or more of the provisions of this Warrant shall be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Warrant shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision which shall be a commercially reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Warrant.
