SECTION 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Securities Purchase Agreement

On August 13, 2010, we sold 4,032,258 shares of our common stock as part of a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) pursuant to an Initial partial closing of a Private Placement Offering. We received aggregate gross proceeds from the Purchasers of $2,500,000 from the sale of the common stock.

The Purchasers are entitled to certain contractual benefits under the Securities Purchase Agreement, which are summarized as follows:

§  
For as long as any Purchaser holds our securities, the right to participate in any subsequent financing of our company;

§  
For as long as any Purchaser holds our securities, restrictions on our ability to issue securities that are convertible into common stock at some future or variable price; and

§  
For twelve months, restrictions on our ability to undertake a reverse or forward stock split of our common stock.

Further under the Securities Purchase Agreement, we are permitted to issue common shares that are exempt from the above restrictions in certain instances, including limited issuances to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan.

Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement that accompanies the Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to file an initial registration statement covering the resale of the common stock no later than 45 days from the closing of the complete Offering and to have such registration statement declared effective no later than 180 days from filing of the registration statement.  The Private Placement Offering is still in process and is not expected to close until September 4, subject to a possible 30 day board extension. If we do not timely file the registration statement, cause it to be declared effective by the required date, or maintain the filing, then each Purchaser in the offering will be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Purchaser for the securities, and an additional 1% f or each month that we do not file the registration statement, cause it to be declared effective, of fail to maintain the filing.

The foregoing is not a complete summary of the terms of the offering described in this Item 1.01, and reference is made to the complete text of the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

Lonza Agreement

Under the Know How License and Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Lonza Agreement”) that we signed with Lonza Walkersville, Inc. (“Lonza”), upon the payment of $3 million to Lonza we will receive an exclusive license to use certain proprietary know-how and information necessary to develop and seek approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) for the commercial sale of PermaDerm™, and Lonza will provide us with certain related assistance and support. We have previously paid Lonza a total of $700,000 toward this Agreement.  Following the Initial Closing of the above stock sale, we directed our escrow agent to disperse the remaining $2,300,000 to Lonza to fulfill our obligations under the Lonza Agreement.

PermaDerm™ is the only tissue-engineered skin prepared from autologous (patient’s own) skin cells.  It is a combination of cultured epithelium with a collagen-fibroblast implant that produces a skin substitute that contains both epidermal and dermal components.  This model has been shown in preclinical studies to generate a functional skin barrier, and in clinical studies to promote closure and healing of burns.  Critically, self-to-self skin grafts for permanent skin tissue is not rejected by the immune system of the patient, unlike with porcine or cadaver grafts in which rejection is an important possibility.

We believe we can create and implement a successful strategy to conduct additional human clinical trials and to assemble and present other relevant information and data in order to obtain the necessary approvals for PermaDerm™ and possible related products.

Lock-up Agreements and Reserve for Equity Incentive Plan

At the Initial partial Close of the Private Placement Offering, all officers, directors and key employees of our company, as well as any 5% holders of our securities, entered into lock-up agreements with us for a term of 12 months whereby they agreed to certain restrictions on the sale or disposition of all the common shares held by them.

Our CEO, Randall McCoy further agreed to restrict the sale of 11,288,850 shares of his common stock representing 20% of the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by him, until such time as we receive approval from the FDA for the commercial sale of PermaDerm™.

Mr. McCoy also agreed to cancel and return to our treasury 4,428,360 shares of his common stock to off-set the potential dilution caused by an equity incentive plan for directors involving the same number of shares that we intend to adopt in the near future.

SECTION 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K that relates to the unregistered sales of equity securities is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

Aside from the $2,500,000 that was raised in the Initial partial Closing of the Private Placement Offering described in Item 1.01, we converted our senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “Bridge Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $750,000 that were previously issued to ten accredited investors into common stock.  The Bridge Notes provided for a conversion rate of one share per $0.465 of principal and interest.  These conversion terms effectively represent a 25% discount to the purchase price per share in the Private Placement Offering.  As such, we issued 1,559,140 shares of our common stock to the note holders.

NewOak Capital Markets LLC and Smith Point Capital, Ltd. acted as placement agents with respect to the Offering and agreed to exchange their Offering fee of3.5% of the aggregate amount raised into an Offering Subscription at the price per share equal to the other purchasers in the Offering.
 
The common stock was offered solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

4.9           Equal Treatment of Purchasers.  No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.  For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to the Purchaser by the Company and negotiated separately by the Purchaser, and is intended for the Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of Shares  or otherwise.< /div>
 
4.10 Form D; Blue Sky Filings.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Shares as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to Purchaser promptly upon request of the Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of the Purchaser.

4.11           Furnishing of Information.  The Company shall comply with Section 8.1 of the Registration Rights Agreement, which Section 8.1 is incorporated by reference herein.

4.12.           Accountants.  Until the time the Company becomes subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, or in the event the Company has not filed one or more reports with the Commission under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 4.11 above, the Company shall promptly give the Purchaser notice of any change in the firm of independent certified public accountants utilized by the Company.

4.13           Access to Records. Until the time the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, or in the event the Company has not filed one or more reports with the Commission as provided in Section 4.11 above, the Company shall furnish to each Purchaser that holds Shares , or any of its duly authorized representatives, attorneys or accountants reasonable access to any and all records at the premises of the Company where such records are kept, such access being afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request stating the purpose of such request and during normal business hours.  Each such Purchaser making such request agrees to request to exec ute a confidentiality agreement or similar document reasonably requested by the Company.
 
 
21

 

4.14           Preservation of Corporate Existence.  During the period that the Company is required to file reports  under Section 4.11, the Company shall preserve and maintain its corporate existence, rights, privileges and franchises in the jurisdiction of its incorporation, and qualify and remain qualified, as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is necessary in view of its business or operations and where the failure to qualify or remain qualified might reasonably have a Material Adverse Effect upon the financial condition, business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  Nothing in Sections 4.11 or 4.15 shall restrict the Company from engaging in a sale of the Company, however effected, including by merger, sale or exchange of stock, or sale of assets.

4.15           Short Sales and Confidentiality After The Date Hereof. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that neither it nor any Affiliate acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with it will execute any Short Sales during the period commencing at the Discussion Time and ending at the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.5. Each Purchaser, severally and not jointly with the other Purchasers, covenants that until such time as the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed by the Company as described in Section 4.5, such Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of the existence and terms of this transaction and the information included in the Disclosure Schedules. Each Purchaser severally and not jointly with any other Purchaser, understands and acknowledges, and agrees, to act in a manner that will not violate the positions of the Commission as set forth in Item 65, Section A, of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations, dated July 1997, compiled by the Office of Chief Counsel, Division of Corporation Finance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Purchaser makes any representation, warranty or covenant hereby that it will not engage in Short Sales in the securities of the Company after the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are first publicly announced as described in Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the covenant set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Shares covered by this Agreement.

4.16           Subsequent Equity Sales. From the date hereof until such time as no Purchaser holds any of the Shares, the Company shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any subsequent financing involving a Variable Rate Transaction. “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which the Company issues or sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quot ations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a future determined price. Any Purchaser shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Company to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. For purposes of clarity, a Variable Rate Transaction shall not include (i) the issuance of securities that adjust pursuant to anti-dilution provisions therein in the event of certain subsequent issuances of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) any merger in which the consideration paid for shares of the Company’s capital stock depends in whole or part on the trading price or quotations for the shares of Common Stock, if such merger is not done primarily for capital-raising purposes, and (iii) any other transaction not done primarily for capital-raising purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 4.16 shall not apply in respect of an Exempt Issuance, except that no Variable Rate Transaction shall be an Exempt Issuance.
 
 
22

 

4.17           Reservation of Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Company has reserved and shall continue to reserve and keep available at all times, free of preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the purpose of enabling the Company to issue Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement.

4.18           Shareholder Rights Plan. No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, with the consent of the Company, any other Person, that any Purchaser is an “Acquiring Person” under any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or similar anti-takeover plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Purchaser could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Shares under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Purchasers.

4.19           Capital Changes and Repayment of Certain Indebtedness. Until the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall not undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.20 shall not apply to any such split or reclassification done by the Company in good faith in order to facilitate (A) any public offering of securities of the Company, (B) any other bona fide capital-raising transaction or sale of the Company (however effected, including by merger, sale or exchange of securities or sale of assets), or (C) obtaining or maintaining any listing of the Company’s common stock on any stock exchange, including NASDAQ.

4.20           Participation in Subsequent Qualified Equity Financings. From the date of the final Closing until the Purchaser shall have sold all of the shares of Common Stock purchased hereunder, upon any Qualified Equity Financing by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (a “Subsequent Financing”), each Purchaser shall have the right to participate in such financing up to the greater of (i) 100% of the issue amount or (ii) 100% of the Subscription Amount paid for the Shares by the initial Purchaser thereof for the Shares held by such Purchaser (the “Participation Maximum”), all on the same terms and conditions as the participant or participants in such Qualified Equity Financing whose terms and conditions are least favorable to the Company. Unless the Company is specifically instructed in writing by an individual Purchaser to suspend such notices, at least five (5) Trading Days prior to the closing of the Subsequent Financing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of its intention to effect a Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing (such additional notice, a “Subsequent Financing Notice”). Upon the request of a Purchaser, and only upon a request by such Purchaser, for a Subsequent Financing Notice, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one Trading Day after such request, deliver a Subsequent Fin ancing Notice to such Purchaser. The Subsequent Financing Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Subsequent Financing, the amount of proceeds intended to be raised thereunder, the Person with whom such Subsequent Financing is proposed to be effected, and attached to which shall be a term sheet or similar document relating thereto. If by 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Trading Day after all of the Purchasers have received the Pre-Notice, notifications by the Purchasers of their willingness to participate in the Subsequent Financing (or to cause their designees to participate) is, in the aggregate, less than the total amount of the Participation Maximum, then the Company may effect the remaining portion of such Subsequent Financing on the terms and to the Persons set forth in the Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives no notice from a Purchaser as of such fifth (5th) Trading Day, such Purchaser shall be deemed to have notified the Company that it d oes not elect to participate. The Company must provide the Purchasers with a second Subsequent Financing Notice, and the Purchasers will again have the right of participation set forth above in this Section 4.15, if the Subsequent Financing subject to the initial Subsequent Financing Notice is not consummated for any reason on the terms set forth in such Subsequent Financing Notice within 60 Trading Days after the date of the initial Subsequent Financing Notice. If the Company receives responses to Subsequent Financing Notices from Purchasers seeking to purchase more than the aggregate amount of the Participation Maximum, each such Purchaser shall have the right to purchase their Pro Rata Portion (as defined below) of the Participation Maximum. “Pro Rata Portion” is the ratio of (x) the Subscription Amount of Shares purchased by a participating Purchaser and (y) the sum of the aggregate Subscription Amount of all participating Purchasers.

5.6           Headings.  The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
 
5.7           Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns.  The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (other than by merger).  Any Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Shares, provided that such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Shares, by the provisions of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers.”
  
5.8             No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.10.
 
5.9           Governing Law.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws thereof.  Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, County of N ew York (the “New York Courts”).  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts 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 such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding.  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 the Transaction Documents 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 other manner permitted by applicable law.

25

 
 
5.10           Survival.  The representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Shares for the applicable statue of limitations.
 
5.11           Execution.  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 w ere an original thereof.
 
5.12           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, pr ovisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
 
5.13           Rescission and Withdrawal Right.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) any of the other Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.
 
5.14           Replacement of Shares.  If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction.  The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.
 
5.15           Remedies.  In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents.  The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
 
5.16           Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or pa rt thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
 
 
26

 
 
5.17           Usury.  To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company hereby agrees not to insist upon or plead or in any manner whatsoever claim, and will resist any and all efforts to be compelled to take the benefit or advantage of, usury laws wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding that may be brought by any Purchaser in order to enforce any right or remedy under any Transaction Document.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any Transaction Document, it is expressly agreed and provided that the total liability of the Company under the Transaction Documents for payments in the nature of interest shall no t exceed the maximum lawful rate authorized under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and, without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall any rate of interest or default interest, or both of them, when aggregated with any other sums in the nature of interest that the Company may be obligated to pay under the Transaction Documents exceed such Maximum Rate.  It is agreed that if the maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law and applicable to the Transaction Documents is increased or decreased by statute or any official governmental action subsequent to the date hereof, the new maximum contract rate of interest allowed by law will be the Maximum Rate applicable to the Transaction Documents from the effective date forward, unless such application is precluded by applicable law.  If under any circumstances whatsoever, interest in excess of the Maximum Rate is paid by the Company to any Purchaser with respec t to indebtedness evidenced by the Transaction Documents, such excess shall be applied by such Purchaser to the unpaid principal balance of any such indebtedness or be refunded to the Company, the manner of handling such excess to be at such Purchaser’s election.
 
5.18           Independent Nature of Purchasers’ Obligations and Rights.  The obligations of the Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document.  Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a gr oup with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.  The Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.  The Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents.  The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.
 
5.19           Liquidated Damages.  The Company’s obligations to pay any partial liquidated damages or other amounts owing under the Transaction Documents is a continuing obligation of the Company and shall not terminate until all unpaid partial liquidated damages and other amounts have been paid notwithstanding the fact that the instrument or security pursuant to which such partial liquidated damages or other amounts are due and payable shall have been canceled.
 
5.20           Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
 
 
27

 
 
5.21           Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.  As used herein, unless the context indicates otherwise, the phrase “the Purchaser” refers to each of the Purchasers, respectively.  Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unles s the context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited.
 
5.22           WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

2.1   Registration.

(a)  Initial Mandatory Registration.

In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another form reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Form S-1 shall be treated as reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, subjec t to the provisions of Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the Commission. The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Purchasers) the “Plan of Distribution” sections for the Purchasers in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and any information provided by the Purchasers in a completed selling stockholder questionnaire in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as s oon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. To the extent the staff of the Commission requires that the number of Registrable Securities registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement be reduced, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities so registered on such Registration Statement to one-third (1/3) of the Company’s non-affiliate public float on the Initial Closing Date (or such lesser number as required by the staff of the Commission), and will file one or more Additional Registration Statements covering the excess shares, as described in Section 2.1(b). By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the Commission in accordance with Rule 424 under the Securities Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.

(b)  Additional Mandatory Registrations. The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on a Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the Commission does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the Commission. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on a form reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Form S-1 shall be treated as reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the Commission (subject to reductions to the extent the staff of the Commission requires that the number of Additional Registrable Securities registered for resale on such Additional Registration Statement be reduced).  Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Purchasers) the & #8220;Plan of Distribution” section in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(c)  Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Purchasers based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Purchaser at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the Commission. In the event that an Purchaser sells or otherwise transfers any of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such tr ansferor. Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Purchasers, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Purchasers which are covered by such Registration Statement.  In no event shall the Company include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the Required Purchasers.

(d)  Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Required Purchasers shall have the right to designate one legal counsel to review and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 (“Legal Counsel”), by giving written notice of such designation to the Company.  The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e)  Ineligibility for Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on a form reasonably acceptable to the Required Purchasers (it being understood that Form S-1 shall be treated as reasonably acceptable) and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as the use of such form for such purpose is permitted, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the Commission. Notwithstanding any provisio n to the contrary herein, the Company shall have no obligation to register any securities on any form (or file or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement) after the end of the Registration Period, as defined in Section 3.1(a).
 
 
6

 
 
(f)  Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a) or 2.1(b) is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Purchaser’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1(c), the Company shall, if the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, amend the applicable Registration Statement, or, in all other cases, file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), so as to cover at least the Initial Required Registration Amount or the Additional Required Registration Amount, as applicable to the applicable R egistration Statement, as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be treated as “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is (A) less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Initial Required Registration Amount or Additional Required Registration Amount, as applicable to the applicable Registration Statement, as of such time by (ii) 0.90.  For greater certainty, the n umber of shares available under a Registration Statement shall not be treated as “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” to the extent that the staff of the Commission requires that the number of Registrable Securities registered for resale on such Registration Statement be equal or less to such number.

(g)  Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the Commission on or before the respective Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”) or (B) not declared effective by the Commission on or before the respective Effectiveness Deadline (an “Effectiveness Failure”) or (ii) on any day during the Registration Period sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement cannot be made (o ther than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3.1(r)) pursuant to such Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement or to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or to maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock) (a “Maintenance Failure”) then, as liquidated damages (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available in equity), the Company shall pay to each Purchaser whose Shares are required to be included in such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement on the day of the respective Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or Maintenance Failure for the first thirty (30) days during which such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or Maintenance Failure continues (pro rated for any period totaling less than thirty (30) days), and thereafter one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for each ensuing thirty (30) day period during which such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure or Maintenance Failure continues (pro rated for any period totaling less than thirty (30) days), subject to a maximum penalty of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) paid by such Purchaser pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for all Registration Delay Payments (as defined below) payable to an Purchaser under this Agreement. The payments to which an Purchaser shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid by the tenth day following the calendar month during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1.0%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. The Company shall not be obligated to make any liquidated damages under this Section if its breach of the provisions of this Section is caused by circumstances beyond its control.
 
 
7

 
 
(h)  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) nor affiliate thereof shall identify any Purchaser as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the Commission or any Trading Market without the prior written consent of such Purchaser and any Purchaser being deemed an underwriter by the Commission shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

ARTICLE III.

(b)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in Section 6.1(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs (A) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement (including any amendment thereto, any related prospectus, or any prospectus supplement) (which information provided by the Purchasers includes Exhibits B and C to this Agreement), (B) failure by the Purchaser to comply with prospectus delivery requirements, if such prospectus, or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, was timely made available by the Company pursuant t o Section 3.1(d), or (C) the use by such Purchaser of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Purchaser of an amended or supplemented prospectus, and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be selected by the Purchasers holding at least 80% interest of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which relates to such action or Claim.

Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6.1, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(e) The indemnification required by this Section 6.1 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

(f)  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE VII
CONTRIBUTION

7.1. Contribution.  To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees, in lieu of providing such indemnification, to contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Person as a result of such Claims or Indemnified Damages, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Claims or Indemnified Damages, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation and (ii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities subject to the Claim. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Purchasers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement o r omission. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7.1 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 7.1. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person as a result of the Claims or Indemnified Damages referred to above in this Section 7.1 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. The Purchasers’ obligations in this Section 7.1 to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

ARTICLE VIII

Re: Reginicin, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") entered into by and among Regenicin, Inc. (f/k/a/ Windstar, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company sold to the Purchasers shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001par value per share (the “Common Stock”).  Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Purchasers (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the Company has agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on             , 2010, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form ____ (File No. 333-            ) (the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Purchasers as a selling stockholder thereunder (the "Selling Shareholders").

In connection with the foregoing, we advise you that a member of the Commission’s staff has advised us by telephone that the Commission has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the Securities Act at [TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS] and we have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the Commission’s staff, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the Commission. Based on the foregoing, the Regist rable Securities are available for resale under the Securities Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

Each Selling Stockholder has agreed (i) pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, that the Shares may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred except in compliance with the Securities Act and (ii) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act applicable to such Selling Stockholder in connection with sales of Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or the applicable requirements of any exemption from the Securities Act. In reliance upon such representation, this letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the Shares covered by the Registration Statement [optional (which are listed on Exhibit ___ hereto] are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement subject to any stock transfer instructions that we may issue to you from time to time. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of such Shares, provided at the time of such issuance or reissuance, the Company has not otherwise notified you that the Registration Statement is unavailable for the resale of the Registrable Securities.

Exhibit B

Plan of Distribution

Each Selling Stockholder (the ÒSelling StockholdersÓ) of the common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on the [principal Trading Market] or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

·  
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

·  
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
 
·  
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
 
·  
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
 
·  
privately negotiated transactions;

·  
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

·  
broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·  
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

·  
a combination of any such methods of sale; or

·  
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ÒSecurities ActÓ), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
 
 
23

 
 
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA NASD Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with NASD IM-2440.

In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker - -dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be ÒunderwritersÓ within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
 
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

Because Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
 
 
24

 

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) ____[insert date that is two years after the last Closing Date under the Purchase Agreement]   (ii) the date that Selling Shareholders (if they are not affiliates of the Company and have not been such an affiliate during the then immediately preceding 90 days) may sell all of their shares covered by this prospectus without volume or holding period restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, and (ii) the date on which the Selling Shareholders shall have sold all of the shares covered by this prospectus. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities la ws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.
