SCHEDULE 2
Description of the PMK150 Patch Machine
The PMK150 machine was designed and manufactured by Harro Hofliger (Germany) to manufacture Vyteris transdermal drug patches. The machine operates in a continuous mode with the following input materials: PETG cover liner, non-woven pads, anode and cathode solutions, hydrogel and electrode subassembly. The electrode subassembly web width is 150mm (1-up lane configuration)
The basic operation is as follows. The PETG cover liner roll is unwound and cavities are thermoformed. Pre-cut non-woven pads are positioned by hand in the cavities and then ultrasonically welded to the PETG material. Anode and cathode solutions are dispensed onto the non-woven pads. In parallel, the hydrogel roll is unwound and die-cut to provide anode and cathode pucks on a carrier liner. These hydrogel pucks are laminated in registration to the unwound electrode subassembly material. The latter material is then laminated in registration to the dosed PETG cover liner.

SCHEDULE 3 – CLAIMS, LAWSUITS, ACTIONS
1. 17-01 Pollitt Drive, Fair Lawn, NJ lease = Litigation Initiated
This is the second building leased by Vyteris which was intended to be used for expanded manufacturing space, which was not utilized due to the de-emphasis of the LidoSite product. Vyteris vacated the space during the first quarter of 2008 and consolidated operations at 13-01 Pollitt Drive. The present value of lease payments through the end of the lease term is $2.0 million. Vyteris was working with the landlord for the 17-01 Pollitt Drive space to reach a settlement; however on or about February 25, 2009, Vyteris was served with a summons and complaint by the Landlord, 17-01 Pollitt Drive Associates, L.L.C., seeking compensatory damages and possession of the demised premises.
2. Biovid v. Vyteris. = Current Litigation
Biovid Corporation v Vyteris, Inc.et al. Docket No.: MER-L-1650-08
Superior Court of NJ, Mercer County Law Division
Vyteris was sued by a firm which wrote a report in conjunction with LidoSite. The suit is to recoup fees of approximately $50,000 previously invoiced by Biovid. Litigation counsel is preparing an answer to the complaint. Vyteris’ claims that worked was performed without a contract and was not approved by Vyteris. Biovid agrees that while a contract was not signed, there were verbal instructions from management authorizing the work.
3. Vyllo v. Vyteris. = Potential Claim – Demand Letter sent but no litigation initiated
Vyllo is owed approximately $25,000 in consulting fees by Vyteris. The consultant authorized fiber optic cable installation without Vyteris’ consent, so Vyteris feels there is a valid counterclaim; however, due to the small dollar amount, it is prudent to settle this matter. Vyteris’ claims Vyllo’s signing of a 5 year lease agreement for a fiber optic 100 megabit line in the amount of $300,000 was unauthorized and a breach of Vyteris’ contract which expressly states that Vyllo cannot bind Vyteris to any contracts. See Fiber Optic Cable lines below.
4. Fiber Optic Cable Lines. = Status Potential Litigation – Vyteris would be plaintiff
Vyllo consultant authorized installation of lines and service at the 17-01 location without the consent of the Vyteris Finance Department. Vyteris no longer needs the full service due to decreased capacity needs. Remaining payments due total $288K. Vyteris is in the process of securing an alternate phone system for the 13-01 location so that it can terminate this service based upon lack of authority of the signator to bind Vyteris.
5. Caswood Group (Contract Sales Organization). = Demand Letter
Effective as of May 11, 2007, Vyteris entered into an agreement with Caswood Group, Inc. for Caswood to provide marketing and promoting of Vyteris’s pharmaceutical products to designated physicians and other health care accounts in the United States. The Agreement expired in the fourth quarter of 2007. Vyteris still owes Caswood $145K for services rendered, and Caswood has indicated that it is close to taking collection action and is willing to work with Vyteris by offering three payment settlement options.

6. Lash Group = Current Litigation $135K

The Lash Group, Inc. v Vyteris, Inc. Docket No.: L 9191-08
Superior Court of NJ Law Division: Bergen County
Vyteris’ claims that Lash’s original suggestion / recommendation of CPT code was based on flawed understanding of what Vyteris’ goals and that Lash’s preliminary research did not mention “compete with a 10-cent shot of lidocaine” for other than blenophobia. Vyteris is contesting Lash’s billing practices of coding nearly 95% of the billing inquiries to the most expensive charge code. Vyteris is confident that it has valid defenses to this matter.

7. Robert Half = Current Litigation $15K - Vyteris will settle with payment plan.

Robert Half vs Vyteris, Inc. Docket No.: MID L 008714-08
Superior Court of NJ Middlesex Law Division
8. INC Research v. Vyteris $35K – Collection action – Vyteris will settle with payment plan.
INC Research vs Vyteris, Inc. Case Number: 09CV000052
Superior Court Division-State of North Carolina
9. Marcom International v. Vyteris: Litigation was settled in 2008 pursuant to a settlement agreement. Vyteris is not current on its payments, and the balance due is approximately $31,000. The agreement contains confession of judgment provisions which can be triggered by the failure to make current payments. Vyteris intends to become current and/or work out new payment arrangement with Marcom.

SCHEDULE 4

Description of the PMK300 Machines
The PMK300 machine was designed and manufactured by Harro Hofliger (Germany) to manufacture Vyteris transdermal drug patches. The machine operates in a continuous mode with the following input materials: PETG cover liner, non-woven, anode and cathode solutions, hydrogel and electrode subassembly. The subassembly width is 300mm (2-up lane configuration).
The basic operation is as follows. The PETG cover liner roll is unwound and cavities are thermoformed. Non-woven pads are cut and automatically placed in the cavities and then ultrasonically welded to the PETG material. Anode and cathode solutions are dispensed onto the non-woven pads. In parallel, the hydrogel roll is unwound and die-cut to provide anode and cathode pucks on a carrier liner. These hydrogel pucks are laminated in registration to the unwound electrode subassembly material. The latter material is then laminated in registration to the dosed PETG cover liner. Finally, the patch is die-cut from the web.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
 
Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Equipment Lease, the Parties have entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Lessor has agreed to lease to Lessee the personal property described on Schedule A attached hereto (the "Equipment"), and Lessee has agreed to lease from the Lessor the Equipment, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Equipment Lease.
 
AGREEMENT:
 
1.           Equipment Lease.       Subject to the terms and conditions of this Equipment Lease, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee, and Lessee hereby leases from Lessor, the Equipment.
 
2.           Term.    The term of this Equipment Lease is for the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the tenth anniversary of the date hereof (the "Term"); provided that Lessor may terminate this Equipment Lease at any time upon written notice to Lessee.
 
3.           Lease Payments.  Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor monthly lease payments in the amount of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) per month payable in advance on the first day of each month during the Term (collectively, the “Lease Payments”); provided, however, that the Lease Payment for February 2009 shall be prorated from the date hereof and be paid on the date hereof and the Lease Payment for February 2019 shall be prorated for the number of days from February 1, 2019 until the end of the Term.  Lease Payments shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Lessor (or such other form of payment acceptable to Lessor, in its sole discretion).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of Lessee paying one or more of the Lease Payments to Lessor in cash, at Lessor’s option Lessor shall receive a dollar-for-dollar credit against (a) the option exercise price described in the Letter Agreement with respect to the PMK300 (as defined therein), and/or (b) amounts due by Lessor to Lessee pursuant to the License and Development Agreement dated as of September 27, 2004, as amended from time to time, between Lessor and Lessee (e.g., milestone payments, royalties), the Supply Agreement dated September 27, 2004, as amended from time to time, between Lessor and Lessee (including the Technical Agreement entered into in connection therewith), and/or any other agreement between the Parties.

6.           Maintenance and Repairs; Insurance.
 
(a)           Lessee shall be solely responsible for any and all costs and expenses arising in connection with the routine maintenance and repair of the Equipment.  At Lessee’s expense, in accordance with Lessor's specifications, Lessee shall keep the Equipment in a suitable environment located at the facilities of Lessee located at 13-01 Pollit Drive, Fair Lawn, New Jersey.  Any replacement or substitution made on the Equipment shall automatically become the property of Lessor, without charge and free and clear of all Liens.

24.           Survival.  The representations and warranties of Vyteris made or deemed made herein and Sections 11 and 13 hereof shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
25.           Termination; Release.  This Agreement shall terminate ninety-one (91) days following satisfaction of both of the following (the “Product Delivery”):
 
(a)           the receipt by Ferring from Vyteris of the materials and supplies specified on Schedule 2 attached hereto (with respect to which the design scope (the "Design") and budget have been already agreed by the Joint Development Team (as defined in the License Agreement)) sufficient for Ferring, in its discretion, to commence Phase III clinical trials in the United States with respect to the Product (as defined in the License Agreement), and
 
(b)           the confirmation by Ferring to Vyteris, in writing, that (i) such materials and supplies conform with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Design and the other applicable specifications, and (ii) neither Vyteris nor Parent has breached or defaulted under (nor has Ferring alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred) any of the Underlying Agreements.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate on May 31, 2010 even if Product Delivery has not occurred if, and only if, (a) Vyteris and Ferring agree in writing in good faith that the cause of such failure of Product Delivery was caused by a Force Majeure Event, and (b) Ferring has confirmed in writing that neither Vyteris nor Parent has breached or defaulted under or with respect to (nor has Ferring alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred under or with respect to) any of the Underlying Agreements.  As used herein, a “Force Majeure Event” means a significant unexpected event which is beyond the reasonable control of Vyteris and Parent with respect to which neither Vyteris nor Parent could reasonably be expected to have taken account and which could not have been prevented by good industry practice.  It is understood and agreed that if Ferring requests that Vyteris perform additional Phase II tests (outside the current scope of work) in connection with Phase II activities related to the Product (as defined in the License Agreement), and Vyteris’s performance of such tests causes a delay in Product Delivery past May 31, 2010, then such delay shall be deemed “caused by a Force Majeure Event” so long as the delay was not caused by a breach or default by Vyteris or Parent under or with respect to (and Ferring has not alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred under or with respect to)  any of the Underlying Agreements.

Parent waives all relief from all appraisement or exemption laws now in force or hereafter enacted.
 
11.           Indemnification.  Parent agrees to indemnify the Ferring and hold it harmless from and against any and all injuries, claims, damages, judgments, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), charges and encumbrances which may be incurred by or asserted against Ferring in connection with or arising out of any assertion, declaration or defense of the Ferring's rights or security interest under the provisions of this Agreement, permitting it to collect, settle or adjust Accounts or to deal with account debtors in any way or in connection with the realization, repossession, safeguarding, insuring or other protection of the Collateral or in connection with the collecting, perfecting or protecting the Ferring's liens and security interests hereunder.
 
12.           Power of Attorney.  Parent does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Ferring as Parent’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to (a) endorse the name of Parent or any of Parent’s officers or agents upon any notes, checks, drafts, money orders, or other instruments of payment or Collateral that may come into Ferring's possession in full or part payment of any Obligations; (b) sue for, compromise, settle and release all claims and disputes with respect to, the Collateral; and (c) sign, for Parent, such documentation required by the UCC, or supplemental intellectual property security agreements; granting to Parent’s said attorney full power to do any and all things necessary to be done in and about the premises as fully and effectually as Parent might or could do.  Parent hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
 
13.           Payment of Expenses.  At its option, Ferring may discharge taxes, liens, security interests or such other encumbrances as may attach to the Collateral, may pay for required insurance on the Collateral and may pay for the maintenance, appraisal or reappraisal, and preservation of the Collateral, as determined by Ferring to be necessary. Parent will reimburse Ferring on demand for any payment so made or any expense incurred by Ferring pursuant to the foregoing authorization, and the Collateral also will secure any advances or payments so made or expenses so incurred by Ferring.

14.           Notices.  All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder ("Notices") must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt.  Notices may be given in any manner to which the parties may separately agree, including electronic mail.  Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices. Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to a party's address as set forth above or to such other address as any party may give to the other for such purpose in accordance with this section.
 
15.           Preservation of Rights.  No delay or omission on Ferring's part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will Ferring's action or inaction impair any such right or power.  Ferring's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Ferring may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.
 
16.           Illegality.  If any provision contained in this Agreement should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
 
17.           Changes in Writing.  No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by Parent from, any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless made in a writing signed by Ferring, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  No notice to or demand on Parent will entitle Parent to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.
 
18.           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
 
19.           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties hereto on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.  Any party so executing this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile transmission.
 
20.           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Parent and Ferring and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that Parent may not assign this Agreement in whole or in part without Ferring's prior written consent and Ferring at any time may assign this Agreement in whole or in part.

21.           Interpretation.  In this Agreement, unless Ferring and Parent otherwise agree in writing, the singular includes the plural and the plural the singular; references to statutes are to be construed as including all statutory provisions consolidating, amending or replacing the statute referred to; the word "or" shall be deemed to include "and/or", the words "including", "includes" and "include" shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation"; references to articles, sections (or subdivisions of sections) or exhibits are to those of this Agreement; and references to agreements and other contractual instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments and other modifications to such instruments, but only to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.  Section headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
 
22.           Governing Law and Jurisdiction.  This Agreement will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey, except that the laws of the State of Nevada shall govern the creation, perfection and foreclosure of the liens created hereunder on such property or any interest therein.  Parent hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the City of Newark, State of New Jersey; provided that nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent Ferring from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights against Parent individually, against any security or against any property of Parent within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction.  Ferring and Parent agree that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both Ferring and Parent.  Parent waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Agreement.
 
23.           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF VYTERIS AND FERRING IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR CLAIM OF ANY NATURE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED IN ANY OF SUCH DOCUMENTS.  VYTERIS AND FERRING ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FOREGOING WAIVER IS KNOWING AND VOLUNTARY.
 
24.           Survival.  The representations and warranties of Parent made or deemed made herein and Sections 11 and 13 hereof shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
 
25.           Termination; Release.  This Agreement shall terminate ninety-one (91) days following satisfaction of both of the following (the “Product Delivery”):

 
10

 

(a)           the receipt by Ferring from Vyteris of the materials and supplies specified on Schedule 2 attached hereto (with respect to which the design scope (the "Design") and budget have been already agreed by the Joint Development Team(as defined in the License Agreement)) sufficient for Ferring, in its discretion, to commence Phase III clinical trials in the United States with respect to the Product (as defined in the License Agreement), and
 
(b)           the confirmation by Ferring to Vyteris, in writing, that (i) such materials and supplies conform with the terms and conditions of the License Agreement, the Supply Agreement, the Design and the other applicable specifications, and (ii) neither Vyteris nor Parent has breached or defaulted under (nor has Ferring alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred) any of the Underlying Agreements.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall terminate on May 31, 2010 even if Product Delivery has not occurred if, and only if, (a) Vyteris and Ferring agree in writing in good faith that the cause of such failure of Product Delivery was caused by a Force Majeure Event, and (b) Ferring has confirmed in writing that neither Vyteris nor Parent has breached or defaulted under or with respect to (nor has Ferring alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred under or with respect to) any of the Underlying Agreements.  As used herein, a “Force Majeure Event” means a significant unexpected event which is beyond the reasonable control of Vyteris and Parent with respect to which neither Vyteris nor Parent could reasonably be expected to have taken account and which could not have been prevented by good industry practice.  It is understood and agreed that if Ferring requests that Vyteris perform additional Phase II tests (outside the current scope of work) in connection with Phase II activities related to the Product (as defined in the License Agreement), and Vyteris’s performance of such tests causes a delay in Product Delivery past May 31, 2010, then such delay shall be deemed “caused by a Force Majeure Event” so long as the delay was not caused by a breach or default by Vyteris or Parent under or with respect to (and Ferring has not alleged in good faith that such breach or default has occurred under or with respect to) any of the Underlying Agreements.
 
Parent acknowledges that it has read and understood all the provisions of this Agreement, including the waiver of jury trial, and has been advised by counsel as necessary or appropriate.

A.           Reference is hereby made to the letter agreement dated the date hereof (the “Letter Agreement”) among Vyteris, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Vyteris”), Vyteris, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), and Ferring.  (Vyteris and Parent are each referred to herein as an “Obligor” and together as “Obligors”).  In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement, each Obligor has entered into a Security Agreement with Ferring dated the date hereof (together, the “Security Agreements”) pursuant to which, among other things, each Obligor granted to Ferring a security interest in certain assets of such Obligor, as described therein.
 
B.           Creditor has extended credit to Obligors and/or may later extend other credit to Obligors.
 
C.           In order to induce Ferring to enter into the Letter Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Letter Agreement), Creditor will subordinate Creditor’s security interests, if any, securing all indebtedness and other amounts owed by either Obligor to Creditor ("Subordinated Debt"), to all of Ferring’s security interests in the Collateral, as defined in each Obligor’s respective Security Agreement (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Collateral”).
 
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

26.           Until such time as neither Obligor has any further Obligations, as defined in each Obligor’s respective Security Agreement (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations”) to Ferring, any lien, security interest, claim or other right which Creditor may have or hereafter obtain with respect to the Collateral and proceeds arising from the casualty, loss, sale or lease thereof shall be subject, junior and subordinate to any security interest, lien, claim or right Ferring may have or hereafter acquire with respect to the Collateral and proceeds arising from the casualty, loss, sale or lease thereof.
 
27.           This Agreement shall be effective from and after the date hereof and while either Obligor has any Obligations to Ferring.  If, after neither Obligor has any Obligations to Ferring, Ferring must disgorge any payments made on or with respect to the Obligations for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy of an Obligor) or any Obligations exist, this Agreement and the relative rights and priorities provided herein, will be reinstated as to all disgorged payments as though the payments had not been made and/or such Obligations exist, as applicable. At any time without notice to Creditor, Ferring may take actions it considers appropriate on the Obligations and any Collateral, and enforcing or failing to enforce any rights against either Obligor or any other person.  No action or inaction will impair or otherwise affect Ferring's rights under this Agreement.

 
15

 
 
28.           In the event of any bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation, execution sale, receivership or similar proceedings involving one or both Obligors, Creditor shall not contest, object or interfere with Ferring’s assertion and voting of a first priority security claim with respect to the Collateral and proceeds arising from the casualty, loss, sale or lease thereof.
 
29.           Creditor shall not, and shall not permit its affiliates to, acquire any security interests or other rights with respect to the Collateral, except for the liens and security interests which are approved by Ferring in writing and are subordinated to the liens and security interests with respect to the Collateral securing the Obligations, and shall not otherwise take or permit to be taken any action against Ferring or the Collateral adverse to the interests of Ferring; and, in the event that Creditor receives any distribution or payment in respect of the Collateral, Creditor and its affiliates shall hold the same in trust for Ferring and promptly pay over and remit the same to Ferring.
 
30.           Creditor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has received a copy of, and hereby approves, the Letter Agreement.  Creditor hereby fully releases and discharges all Liens (as defined in the Letter Agreement) with respect to the PMK150 (as defined in the Letter Agreement).  Additionally, immediately prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by exercise by Ferring of the Option (as defined in the Letter Agreement), Creditor shall fully release and discharge all Liens with respect to the PMK300 (as defined in the Letter Agreement).  In connection with the foregoing provisions, Creditor hereby authorizes Ferring to take any and all actions (including, as appropriate, filing UCC-3 termination or partial termination statements) necessary or desirable, as determined by Ferring in good faith.  Further, Creditor does hereby make, constitute and appoint any officer or agent of Ferring as Creditor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to sign, for Creditor, such documentation required by the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise deemed necessary or desirable to Ferring in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Letter Agreement).  Creditor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
 
31.           In order to give effect to the terms of this Agreement and to reach the purpose hereof, Creditor herewith for the sake of precaution authorizes Vyteris to enter into a Security Transfer Agreement under German law (Sicherungsübereignungsvertrag) with respect to the PMK300 (as defined in the letter Agreement) machine and to transfer for security purposes title (Sicherungseigentum) to the PMK300 machine to Ferring under the terms of such agreement (the "German Security Agreement"). Creditor herewith in advance grants its consent to such transaction.  During the term of the German Security Agreement, Creditor waives the exercise of any rights and remedies associated with its position as holder of a security interest or other Lien (as defined in the Letter Agreement) according to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the PMK300.  Upon the request of Ferring, Creditor shall take all steps that Ferring deems advisable or necessary in order for Ferring to obtain and/or perfect its security interest (including, at the request of Ferring, that Creditor shall execute the German Security Agreement).

In rendering this opinion, I have, with your permission, assumed: (a) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; (b) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (c) the genuiness of all signatures; (d) the legal capacity of natural persons; (e) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, factual matters, representations and warranties contained in all of such documents; (f) the due authorization, execution and delivery of all such documents by the signatories thereof, and the legal, valid and binding effect thereof on the signatories; (g) that the signatories will act in accordance with their respective representations and warranties as set forth in the Documents, (h) that all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Documents have been satisfied or waived, (h) that the Financing Statements contains the current address of Ferring from which information concerning Ferring’s security interest in the Collateral, as such term is defined in the Security Agreement (hereinafter, the “Collateral”) can be obtained, (i) that the Company has rights in the Collateral (although no facts have been disclosed to us that have caused us to conclude that the opinions expressed are factually incorrect except as disclosed in the Schedules to the Transaction Agreements),(j) that the Company is engaged in the business described in the Company’s 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2007, (k) the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents by the parties thereto other than the Company and Parent, (l) that the Documents constitute the valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company and Parent and (m) that Ferring has filed any required state franchise, income or similar tax returns and have paid any required state franchise, income or similar taxes.
 
In rendering such opinions, I have not conducted any independent investigation.  Specifically, but without limitation, I have not searched the dockets of any courts and I have made no inquiries of securities holders or employees of the Company or the Parent, other than certain of the Company’s and the Parent’s officers.  No inference as to my knowledge with respect to such matters should be drawn from the fact of my representation of the Company or the Parent or the rendering of the opinions set forth below.
 
I am a member of the bar of the State of New York. I express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than corporate laws of the State of Delaware, New York, and the federal laws of the United States of America.  I express no opinion with respect to the effect or application of any other laws.  Special rulings of authorities administering any of such laws or opinions of other counsel have not been sought or obtained by us in connection with rendering the opinions expressed herein.
 
1.           The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.  The Company is authorized to transact business and is in good standing in the State of New Jersey.
 
2.           Parent is a Nevada corporation.  Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent and Parent’s only asset is its ownership of the capital stock of Company.  Parent has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform all of its obligations under the Documents to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.
 
3.           The execution and delivery by Company of such of the Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by Company of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Company.  The execution and delivery by Parent of such of the Documents to which it is a party, and the performance by Parent of its obligations thereunder, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent.
 
4.           Each of the Documents to which Company is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Company, enforceable against Company in accordance with its respective terms.  Each of the Documents to which Parent is a party has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its respective terms.
 

 
20

 


 
5.           The execution and delivery by each of Company and Parent of such of the Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby, will not violate any existing statute, regulation or other law.
 
6.           The execution and delivery by each of Company and Parent of such of the Documents to which it is a party does not, and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby will not, require any consent, authorization or approval of, the giving of notice to or registration with any governmental authority.
 
7.           The execution and delivery by Company of such of the Documents to which it is a party do not, and the consummation by Company of the transactions contemplated thereby will not, in either case in any material respect, violate or contravene, or constitute a default under, any term or provision of Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents or, to my knowledge, any contract or agreement to which Company is a party or pursuant to which its assets are bound.   The execution and delivery by Company of such of the Documents to which it is a party do not, and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated thereby will not, in either case in any material respect, violate or contravene, or constitute a default under, any term or provision of Parent’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other governing documents or, to my knowledge, any contract or agreement to which Parent is a party or pursuant to which its assets are bound.
 
8.           To my knowledge, Company owns all good and marketable right, title and interest in and to the PMK150, free and clear of any and all Liens, except as set forth on Exhibit __ to the Security Agreement.  Upon execution and delivery by Company of the Bill of Sale, Ferring shall acquire all absolute unconditional right, title and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens.  None of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents constitutes a “bulk sale” or similar transfer.  The sale by Vyteris and the purchase by Ferring of the Purchased Assets do not constitute a fraudulent conveyance (or similar transfer) or preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or other applicable law.  Assuming that (i) the payment amounts by lessee to lessor are not considered to be “nominal payments” and (ii) at the end of the Lease term, the leased property will still be considered to have a useful life, the transactions contemplated by the Equipment Lease constitute a true lease and not a disguised sale.
 
9.           The provisions of the Security Agreement are effective to create in favor of Ferring a security interest in the collateral described therein, to the extent such collateral consists of personal property in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code (the “Article 9 Collateral”) and do not constitute a fraudulent conveyance (or similar transfer) or preference under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and/or other applicable law.  The presentment of the Financing Statement naming Company as the debtor, together with the payment of any required filing fees, in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is sufficient to perfect the security interests created by the Transaction Documents in that portion of the Article 9 Collateral in which Company has an interest and in which a security interest may be perfected by filing a financing statement under the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code.

 
21

 
 
10.           Neither the execution and delivery by each of Company and Parent of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated therein nor the fulfillment of the terms thereof by it will, to my knowledge (a) result in the creation or imposition of any security interest or other lien upon any property of such party, except for any security interest or lien created in favor of Ferring pursuant to the Security Agreement, or (b) result in the violation of or contravene the terms of any order of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over such party.
 
11.           To my knowledge, there are no actions, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against Company or Parent before or by any governmental authority that might have an effect upon the validity or enforceability of the Transaction Documents or which, if determined adversely to Company or Parent, would materially affect the business, financial condition, property or operations of Company or Parent.
 
The opinions expressed above are specifically subject to the following limitations, exceptions, qualifications and assumptions:
 
A.           My opinions are subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, statutes of limitation, or other similar laws and judicial decisions affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally, and are further subject to the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, estoppel, election of remedies and other similar doctrines affecting the enforcement of agreements generally (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).  In addition, the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, the appointment of a receiver or other equitable remedies is subject to the discretion of the tribunal before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.
 
B.  My opinions are further subject to other laws and judicial decisions affecting the rights of creditors and secured creditors generally, including, without limitation, the following:
 
I express no opinion as to the enforceability of provisions of the Documents to the extent they contain:
 
(a)           choice of law or forum selection provisions,
 
(b)           waivers by the Company or Parent of any statutory or constitutional rights or remedies,
 
(c)           grants of powers of attorney,
 
(d)           cumulative remedies to the extent such cumulative remedies purport to compensate, or would have the effect of compensating, the party entitled to the benefits thereof in an amount in excess of the actual loss suffered by such party and provisions to the effect that rights or remedies may be exercised without notice, that failure to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a waiver of any such right or remedy, that rights or remedies are not exclusive, that every right or remedy is cumulative and may be exercised in addition to or with any other right or remedy, or that election of a particular remedy or remedies does not preclude recourse to one or more remedies,

 
22

THIS SECURITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made
 
BETWEEN:

(1)
Vyteris, Inc., a US corporation, incorporated and validly existing under the laws of [Delaware], with its principal place of business at 13-01 Pollit Drive, Fair Lawn, NJ 07410, United States of America (the "Transferor"); and
 
(2)
Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a US corporation, incorporated and validly existing under the laws of Delaware, with its principal place of business at 4 Gatehall Drive, 3rd Floor, Parsipanny, NJ 07054, United States of Amercia (the "Transferee").
 
The Transferor and the Transferee are collectively referred to as the "Parties" and each a "Party".
 
RECITALS:

(A)
Whereas, the Parties have a business relationship based upon certain commercial agreements entered into between them including [without limitation] (a) a Letter Agreement [dated as of the same date hereof] (the “Letter Agreement”); (b) a License and Development Agreement dated as of September 27, 2004, as amended prior to the date hereof and pursuant to the Letter Agreement (the “License Agreement”); and (c) a Supply Agreement dated September 27, 2004, as amended prior to the date hereof and pursuant to the Letter Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) (all of the foregoing, the “Underlying Agreements”). Reference is made to the Underlying Agreements, the content of which is fully known to the Parties.
 
(B)
Clause 6. c) of the Letter Agreement provides inter alia that in order to secure the obligations of Transferor pursuant to the Underlying Agreements, Transferor shall grant Transferee a security interest in all of the assets of Transferor (including, without limitation, the Product (as defined in the License Agreement), work in process, supplies, inventories, machinery and equipment, together the “Collateral”). In furtherance thereof, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of the Letter Agreement, Transferor shall execute and deliver to Transferee a Security Agreement in the form attached to the Letter Agreement as Exhibit C (the “Security Agreement”) and any other UCC-1 statements and other documents reasonably requested by Transferee. Reference is made to Clause 6. c) and the Security Agreement.
 
(C)
Transferor owns a certain piece of machinery known as “PMK300” (a web concerting machine), which is currently located not at the premises of Transferor in the US, but at the facilities of Harro Hoeflinger Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH, Werk Satteldorf, Industriestraße 6, 74589 Satteldorf, Germany. A detailed description of the PMK300 machine is set forth on schedule 1. The Parties are in agreement that the PMK300 machine shall serve as, and be part of the Collateral (as defined in the immediately preceding paragraph), and that a security interest in the PMK300 machine shall be established in favour of Transferee.

 
30

 

(D)
Since the PMK300 machine is currently located in Germany, due to applicable German conflicts of laws regulations, the creation of a security interest in a movable asset (including the transfer of title for security purposes) is mandatorily governed by German law. The Parties have therefore decided to enter into a separate security agreement governed by German law specifically for the creation of a security interest in the PMK300 machine. With the present agreement, they are entering into a security transfer agreement (Sicherungsübereignungsvertrag), a security transaction under German law involving movable assets as collateral, by which title (Eigentum) to the PMK300 machine will be transferred as collateral to the Transferee. The Parties wish to incorporate this Agreement in its entirety into the Security Agreement by way of reference.
 
(E)
According to clause 4. b) of the Letter Agreement, Transferor has granted Transferee the right to purchase the PMK300, the PMK300 Equipment Warranties and all related records, documentation and warranties (collectively referred to in the Letter Agreement as the “PMK300 Assets”), free and clear of all Liens for a period of one (1) year from the date of the Letter Agreement (the “Option”). It is understood that this Agreement and the security transfer contemplated hereby shall cease to be in effect upon completion of the purchase by Transferee of the PMK300 by way of exercising the Option.
 
(F)
The Parties are aware that the PMK300 currently is subject to a security interest [lien] according to Art. 9 UCC [to be confirmed] in favor of Spencer Trask Speciality Group, LLC (“Spencer Trask”), which is another creditor of Transferor. However, according to a Subordination Agreement entered into between Spencer Trask and Transferee as of the same date hereof, Spencer Trask has subordinated its existing security interests in the Transferor’s assets (including the PMK300) to all of Transferee’s security interests in such assets, subject to the terms and conditions of the Subordination Agreement. According to clause 6 c) of the Letter Agreement, Spencer Trask will fully release all liens and encumbrances with respect to the PMK300 immediately prior to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the exercise of the Option.
 
(G)
In order to give effect to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and to reach the purpose thereof, Spencer Trask herewith for the sake of precaution authorizes Transferor to enter into this Agreement and to transfer title (Eigentum) to the PMK300 to the Transferee as set forth in clause 2.1 below and consents to the transactions contemplated hereby. During the term of this Agreement, Spencer Trask waives the exercise of any rights and remedies associated with its position as holder of a security interest [lien] according to Art. 9 UCC with respect to the PMK300.
 
(H)
References in this Agreement to the Underlying Agreements will be deemed to include references to those agreements as they may be amended, modified, varied or restated from time to time. Similarly, references in this Agreement to secured Obligations of Transferor (as defined in the Underlying Agreements) will be deemed to include any and all obligations which the Transferor may have under or in connection with the Underlying Agreements as the same may be so amended, modified, varied or restated from time to time.

If any of the provisions of this Agreement should be or become invalid, unenforceable or impractical in whole or in part, the validity of the other provisions hereof shall not be affected. In that case the invalid, unenforceable or impractical provision is deemed to be replaced by such valid and enforceable provision or arrangement, which corresponds as closely as possible to the invalid, unenforceable or impractical provision and to the parties' economic aims pursued by and reflected in this Agreement. The same applies in the event that this Agreement does not contain a provision which it needs to contain in order to achieve the economic purpose as expressed herein (Regelungslücke).
 
10.7.
Choice of Law
 
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
10.8.
Place of Jurisdiction
 
Any legal action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the courts in [Frankfurt am Main]. The foregoing shall, however, not limit the right of the Transferee to bring any legal action against the Transferor in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
