FAMILYMEDS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly, Drugmax, Inc.) 
Notes to (Unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Familymeds Group, Inc., formerly known as DrugMax, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Familymeds Group”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Company’s fiscal year 2006 begins on January 1, 2006 and ends on December 30, 2006 which is the Saturday closest to December 31, 2006. The Company’s quarters end on the Saturday closest to March 31, June 30 and September 30. Each fiscal quarter is 13 weeks in length. The Company’s second quarter for fiscal year 2006 ended on July 1, 2006.
 
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
 
On March 19, 2004, Familymeds Group, Inc. (“FMG”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was amended on July 1, 2004 and on October 11, 2004 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), with DrugMax, Inc. (“DrugMax”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, on November 12, 2004, FMG merged into DrugMax, and DrugMax became the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger was treated as a purchase of DrugMax by FMG for accounting purposes.  On July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

Business— As of July 1, 2006, the Company operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, and franchised 7 pharmacies in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names.

The Company also operates a wholesale drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers from its warehouse located in St. Rose, Louisiana known as Valley Medical Supply.

Going Concern— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The report of independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements was modified with respect to uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a net stockholders' deficit of $11.3 million and has incurred net losses of $54.9 million, $39.8 million and $12.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005 and December 27, 2003. As of July 1, 2006, the Company had a net stockholders deficit of $4.0 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed certain transactions considered to be critical to achieving future growth and profitability. These include the sale of common stock for net proceeds of $47.4 million, the refinancing of the senior credit facility with a new $65.0 million facility, which allows for additional borrowing availability, and the sale and discontinuation of substantially all of the Company’s full-line wholesale drug distribution operations, which had incurred significant losses. Although no assurances may be made, management believes that these transactions as well as other organizational and operational changes will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - PER SHARE INFORMATION

The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include all-in-the money stock options and warrants.  Options and warrants to purchase 249,090 and 285,717, respectively, shares of common stock were included in the July 1, 2006 computations of diluted net income per common share.  Options and warrants to purchase 3,253,901 and 5,408,967 shares of common stock were not included in the July 2, 2005 computations of diluted net loss per common share because inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.
 
NOTE 4 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (as amended).” SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123, which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of equity awards to employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting generally for all share-based payment transactions with employees.
 
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using a modified prospective method resulting in the recognition of share-based compensation expense of $0.002 million, net of zero related tax expense. Prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans.
 
The following table details the effect on net loss and loss per common share had compensation expense for the employee share-based awards been recorded in the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005 based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 (in thousands, except per share data):

Share Based Compensation Plans
 
As of July 1, 2006, we have two share-based compensation plans, which are described below.
 
The DrugMax, Inc. 1999 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to purchase shares of common stock up to a total of 6.0 million shares. The exercise price per share of common stock covered by an option may not be less than the par value per share on the date of grant, and in the case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price may not be less than the market value per share on the date of grant. The terms of any option grants are established by the Board of Directors and / or compensation committee, subject to the requirements of the plan, but, generally, these options vest over a three year period at a rate of 33% each year. The Plan will expire on August 13, 2009. Options are issued to non-employee directors under this plan.
 
Each outside Director shall be issued an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock annually each year following his or her election to the Board of Directors. Each outside Director who serves as a member of a committee shall be issued an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock annually. The chairperson of each committee, other than the Audit Committee, shall be issued an option to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of common stock annually. The chairperson of the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Board shall receive an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock annually. The foregoing options are granted under the Company’s 1999 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. The exercise price for the options shall be determined as of the annual shareholders meeting of each year.
 
The DrugMax, Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan permits the granting of shares of restricted common stock up to a total of 3.5 million shares. The Board of Directors shall determine the price, if any, on the date of grant. The Plan will expire on August 27, 2013. Restricted shares are issued to non-employee directors under this plan.

Upon election to the Board of Directors, each outside Director, receives an award of restricted stock in the amount of $50,000. Such shares vest 1/3 upon the date of grant and 1/3 on the first and second anniversary thereafter. Further, on each year following his or her election to the Board, each outside Director shall receive an award of restricted stock in the amount of $25,000. The foregoing shares are granted under the Company’s 2003 Restricted Stock Plan.
 
We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. Under the assumptions indicated below, the weighted-average fair value of the three month period ended July 1, 2006 stock option grants was $0.44 and the weighted-average fair value of the three month period ended July 2, 2005 stock option grants was $0.58. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 and a discussion of our methodology for developing each of the assumptions used in the valuation model:

 Term - This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. An increase in the expected term will increase compensation expense.
 
Volatility - This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options of the Company’s shares, historical volatility of the Company’s shares, and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes in the Company’s business operations. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense.
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate - This is the U.S. Treasury rate on the date of the grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense.
 
Dividend Yield - We have never made any dividend payments and we have no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense.
 
Forfeiture Rate - This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled before becoming fully vested. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense.

On June 29, 2006, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and certain other agreements described below, each effective as of June 23, 2006, with Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Deerfield L.P.”) and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (“Deerfield International”), pursuant to which Deerfield L.P. and Deerfield International (collectively, “Deerfield”) purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.32 million and the second note in the amount of $6.68 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16.5 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.

The $10 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23 million in outstanding subordinated debt and accrued unpaid interest with the Company’s former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”). The subordinated debt with ABDC consisted of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Both original debt instruments were 5-year agreements maturing in September 2010. In connection with the Deerfield transaction, the Company and ABDC entered into a payoff and mutual release agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million. Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), the Company’s senior lender, consented to the Company’s early repayment of the ABDC debt and waived any default under the Company’s credit facility with WFRF as a result of such repayment by entering into a Consent, Waiver and Second Amendment to such credit facility with the Company and its subsidiaries.

Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.166 million and $0.334 million, respectively, beginning on September 1, 2006 and on each December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 thereafter and continuing until June 23, 2011, on which date all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 2.5% for the first year, 5.0% for the second year, 10.0% for the third year, 15.0% for the fourth year and 17.5% for the fifth year. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company at anytime without penalty. Interest expense has been estimated over the five year period to be approximately $1.8 million (excludes the effect of amortization of the debt discount of $2.5 million discussed below) and due to the increasing interest rate on this debt, the Company will record the average quarterly interest expense and record a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter in cash.

9


The Notes contain usual and customary events of default for notes of these dollar amounts and provide that, upon the occurrence of an event default, the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest accrued under each note shall immediately become due and payable without demand or notice to the Company.
 
They are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, Familymeds, Inc. (“Familymeds”) and Valley Drug Company South (“Valley South”). These subordinated security interests are evidenced by three security agreements: (i) a Security Agreement between the Company and Deerfield L.P., as agent for Deerfield (the “Agent”), (ii) a Security Agreement between Familymeds and the Agent, and (iii) a Security Agreement between Valley South and the Agent (collectively, the “Security Agreements”). The Security Agreements are expressly subordinated to the prior lien rights of WFRF pursuant to the Company’s existing credit facility with WFRF. Both Familymeds and Valley South have entered into guaranty agreements pursuant to which they have guaranteed all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes.
 
In connection with the issuance of these Notes, 16.5 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 3.0 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.61 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.78 per share; and warrants for 2.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.92 per share. Proceeds from each warrant exercised by Deerfield will be used to equally repay the Notes and for the working capital needs of the Company. All of the Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date. The Company has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which it has agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the closing date, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing of such registration statement.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” the Company allocated the proceeds received between the debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the dates the proceeds were received. The net value allocated to the warrants was $2.5 million and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The $2.5 million has been recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the Notes, after giving effect to the amortization of the debt discount is approximately 17.0% annually.
 
In addition, the Company extinguished the ABDC Notes on June 23, 2006 which resulted in a gain on the extinguishment of $13.1 million.
 
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company incurred net income for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006. No income tax expense had been recorded in these periods due to the significant net operating losses available to the Company to offset such net income. The Company has established a valuation allowance on substantially all of its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of their realization. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005.
 
NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company operated two drug distribution facilities: Valley Drug Company and Valley Drug Company South. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company determined that it would sell certain assets of the drug distribution business and eliminate operations conducted out of the New Castle, Pennsylvania facility and the St. Rose, Louisiana facility related to the distribution to independent pharmacies. Accordingly, as of October 1, 2005, the Company considered substantially all of the full-line wholesale drug distribution as discontinued operations for financial statement presentation purposes. In December 2005, Rochester Drug Cooperative (“RDC”) acquired certain assets from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Drug Company, including a customer list, furniture, fixtures and equipment located at the Company’s New Castle, Pennsylvania facility. In connection with the sale, RDC assumed certain property leases, customer and other miscellaneous contracts. The total purchase price for these select assets was $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million was received upon closing and $0.3 million is required to be paid if and when the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) consents to a lease assignment of the New Castle facility to RDC. The Company expects payment of the $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2006.

10




In connection with the sale of these assets, the Company transferred a portion of the New Castle, Pennsylvania pharmaceutical inventory to the Company’s retail pharmacies as well as a portion to its St. Rose, Louisiana facility for continued distribution to the Company’s retail pharmacies and for use in the Valley Medical Supply operations.
 
Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $27.3 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively, and $0.0 million and $57.4 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million and $1.7 million and $0.2 million and $3.0 million for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 9- CONTINGENCIES
 
There have been no significant changes in the status of the legal matters described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
NOTE 10- NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.
 
NOTE 11- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with James E. Searson, Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer. The initial term of Mr. Searson’s agreement terminates on May 2, 2008, and is subject to successive, automatic one-year renewals, unless one party notifies the other of its desire not to renew the agreement. The agreement provides a salary of $275,000, and for bonuses as determined by the board of directors. The agreement also contains standard termination provisions for disability, for cause, and for good reason, and it also contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions that prohibit Mr. Searson from disclosing certain information belonging to the Company and from competing against the Company. If the employment agreement is terminated other than for cause prior to May 2, 2008, the Company is required to continue to pay to Mr. Searson one year’s severance equal to the amount of the compensation to which he was entitled at the time of termination, subject to the terms of the agreement.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion, as well as the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, contain forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, as set forth under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
 
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain statements contained in press releases and periodic reports issued by the Company, including those contained herein, that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, are statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, estimates or projections of the Company, its directors or its officers about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and include among other items, statements regarding (a) the Company’s strategies regarding growth and business expansion, including its strategy of building an integrated specialty drug distribution platform with multiple sales channels through both organic growth and acquisitions, (b) its financing needs and plans, including its need for additional capital related to its growth plans, and (c) trends affecting its financial condition or results of operations. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the anticipated results will occur. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other items, (i) management’s ability to execute its strategy of growth and business expansion, (ii) management’s ability to identify and integrate new acquisitions, (iii) changes in the regulatory and general economic environment related to the health care and pharmaceutical industries, including possible changes in reimbursement for healthcare products and in manufacturers’ pricing or distribution policies, (iv) conditions in the capital markets or changes with regard to the Company's credit facilities, including interest rate increases, changes in the availability of capital and changes in the reserve under the Company's credit facility, (v) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the Company’s revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of qualified marketing, management or other personnel, and increased labor and inventory costs, and (vi) changes regarding the availability, supply chain and pricing of the products which the Company distributes, as well as the loss of one or more key suppliers for which alternative sources may not be available.

Further information relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is included under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Familymeds Group, Inc. (“Familymeds Group,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) is a pharmacy and drug distribution provider formed by the merger on November 12, 2004 of DrugMax, Inc. and Familymeds Group, Inc. (“FMG”). The Company was formerly known as DrugMax, Inc. and on July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

12




As of July 1, 2006, we operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, and 7 franchised pharmacies in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names. We also operate a drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers from our warehouse located in St. Rose, Louisiana known as Valley Medical Supply or VMS.

Review of three month period ended July 1, 2006

The Company’s strategy since the sale of substantially all of its full-line wholesale drug distribution business in December of 2005 has been to focus on its core business which includes pharmacy operations, specialty sales, institutional sales, and direct distribution to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, we have taken the following steps to improve our operations:

·  
In April 2006, Familymeds.com, the Company’s online and mail-order provider, joined the HealthAllies discount program network. HealthAllies is part of the UnitedHealth Group family of companies and helps consumers reduce their out-of-pocket health care expenses by negotiating discounted rates on a variety of health-related services not traditionally covered by insurance.

·  
On April 17, 2006, the Company opened a closed door institutional pharmacy located in Farmington, Connecticut.
   
·  
On June 23, 2006, the Company retired the subordinated debt payable to AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation consisting of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Familymeds and Amerisource agreed to settle and retire both of the existing debt instruments early for a lump sum payment of $10 million. Funds for the repayment came from a $10 million subordinated secured debt private placement with investment funds managed by Deerfield Management Company L.P. and related warrant purchase.

·  
On March 20, 2006, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that for the past 30-consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock has closed below the $1.00 per share minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we have been provided with 180-calendar days, or until September 18, 2006, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. On June 23, 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to empower the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to undertake a reverse stock split of Familymeds Group’s common stock at a ratio of between one-for-ten and one-for-two at any time on or prior March 31, 2007. We believe we can regain compliance with NASDAQ Market Place rules if we perform the reverse stock split.

Strategy
 
Our primary strategy is to build an integrated specialty drug pharmacy platform with multiple sales channels including: clinic and apothecary pharmacies, Worksite PharmaciesSM, institutional “closed door” type pharmacies, a central fill mail order based pharmacy and a pharmaceutical distribution center focused on medical specialty sales. We believe this can be accomplished through the present base of operations, through additional organic opening of new pharmacies and by acquiring pharmacies. We believe the integration of these types of locations will uniquely enable us to supply specialty drugs and other pharmaceuticals to patients, physicians and other healthcare providers.

13



 
 Our strategy is to locate specialty clinic and apothecary pharmacy operations near or in medical facilities. The strategy is driven by the location concept whereby situating a clinical or specialty type pharmacy near the point of acute or chronic care provides us with a “first capture” opportunity to service patients when they visit their physicians. This also enables us to collaborate with the physician in the therapeutic regimen and may provide opportunities for generic drug sales or alternative pharmaceutical therapy, which generally provide us with higher profit margins. Many of these patients or special patient groups require central fill and or mail order follow-up care that can be provided through our “closed door” pharmacy or mail order center located in Connecticut. We also supply online web based access to all or most of our services and products through our nationally known website, www.familymeds.com.

We offer a comprehensive selection of branded and generic prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals, specialty injectables, generic biologics, compounded medicines, healthcare-related products and diagnostic products. These products are used for the treatment of acute or chronic medical conditions and may be purchased through our platforms. Also, we have recently placed significant emphasis on the injectable and orally administered specialty pharmaceuticals. We intend to increase pharmacy revenues through these “Specialty Pharmaceuticals,” which generally are more expensive and provide a higher gross profit.

The Company’s strategy also includes selling specialty pharmaceuticals and healthcare products to physicians, home care providers and related healthcare providers including respiratory therapists and nurse practitioners that often re-administer these products to their patient immediately. We are executing this strategy by combining selling access through our existing physician relationships and medically based pharmacies with a sales force who actively pursues these practitioners as well as new potential practitioner customers. Our unique selling proposition to these practitioners is ease of obtaining product through same day delivery through our onsite pharmacies as well as our ability to supply the pharmaceutical to the physician already prepared and “ready to use.” As part of our service, we bill the physicians/patients payor/insurance carrier or Medicare under part B depending on the type of coverage each patient has. This strategy for distribution of pharmaceuticals will be ongoing and utilizes our wholesale authorized distribution agreements to obtain the drugs through the proper channel pricing and together with central and decentralized distribution to the practitioner customer depending on the customer needs.
 
The Company is also taking measures to reduce operating expenses by consolidating operations, and reducing corporate expenses.

Pharmacy Operations 

As of July 1, 2006, we operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names. We have 44 pharmacies which are located at the point of care between physicians and patients, oftentimes inside medical office buildings or on a medical campus. The balance of our locations are usually nearby medical facilities though more retail accessible. The majority of our revenues from pharmacy operations come from the sale of prescription pharmaceuticals, which represented approximately 93.7% and 93.9% of our net revenues for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006, respectively. Our corporate pharmacies provide services to approximately 400,000 acute or chronically ill patients each year, many with complex specialty and medical product needs.

We operate our pharmacies under the trade names Familymeds Pharmacy (“Familymeds”), Arrow Pharmacy and Nutrition Centers (“Arrow”) and Worksite PharmacySM. Familymeds is primarily used for pharmacies outside of New England. The Familymeds locations were primarily originated by acquiring the base pharmacy business from HMO’s, hospitals and regional independent operators. The locations are primarily clinic size with a small footprint, usually less than 1,500 sq. ft. The Arrow trade name is used in New England where most of the pharmacies were opened as a start-up or re-acquired from former Arrow franchise operators who opened these legacy pharmacy operations as start-ups. These locations are primarily apothecary size, approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and may be more visible as retail type locations, though primarily nearby hospitals or medical campus locations. Our locations in Michigan and certain locations elsewhere throughout our trading area may have a larger footprint to accommodate a comprehensive inventory of nutritional and home medical supplies.

By our estimates, we believe there are more than 5,000 locations nationwide at or near the point of care which may be available to open additional pharmacies. Because of our experience with operating pharmacies in similar locations, we believe we are uniquely positioned to target these sites and increase our core pharmacy market presence. We also believe that we can grow our pharmacy operations through selective acquisitions. By increasing our location count, through selective acquisitions or the opening of new pharmacies at or near the point of medical care, we believe we can increase our customer base, expand our geographic reach and improve profitability by leveraging our existing infrastructure.

Our strategy also includes offering our customers or patients multiple sales channels by which they can purchase our products. We offer them the opportunity to purchase a broad array of health-related products online including a comprehensive selection of prescription medications, vitamins and nutritional supplements, home medical equipment, and health and beauty aids directly from our pharmacies, by mail order, and via the Internet. Familymeds.com is the foundation of our Internet offering. This website is one of the few sites certified as a Verified Internet Pharmacy Provider Site (VIPPS) by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). The VIPPS program is a voluntary certification program designed to approve and identify online pharmacies that are appropriately licensed and prepared to practice Internet pharmacy. Familymeds.com is the non-prescription Internet commerce partner for select prescription benefit managers (PBMs) including Medco Health. We will continue to pursue opportunities to partner with managed care and others providers to increase our sales through our Internet sales channel.

Worksite PharmacySM

We operate and locate Worksite Pharmacies SM (pharmacies that service a single, defined population) for large employers who are seeking to control overall employee prescription drug benefit expenditures while maintaining high employee satisfaction through improved accessibility. Our Worksite Pharmacies SM offer prescription services exclusively to the employer’s covered population. We can deliver these services at or near the employer’s work site by opening, staffing and managing a pharmacy. Our initial results have proven that this strategy reduces healthcare costs for the employer. Our research has shown that many employers, especially large Fortune 500 companies are seeking more aggressive methods to control healthcare expenditures, especially the pharmacy component of benefits. We have identified key large employers, those with over 2,000 employees in a single location, to be target opportunities for this type of Employer Sponsored Worksite PharmacySM. Currently, we have a Worksite Pharmacy SM in the employee center of the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut and Scotts Company L.L.C headquarters in Merryville, Ohio. Combined, these employers have more than 14,000 employees and dependents as potential patients.

Net revenues from Worksite PharmaciesSM increased by $1.1 million or 122.2% from $0.9 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005 to $2.0 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. Approximately $0.3 million, or 27.3% on a comparable same location basis, of the $1.1 million increase related to growth within our existing Worksite pharmacy. The remaining $0.8 million of the $1.1 million increase related to the opening of a new Worksite Pharmacy effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2006.

Net revenues from Worksite PharmaciesSM increased by $2.2 million or 129.4% from $1.7 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005 to $3.9 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006. Approximately $0.5 million, or 29.4% on a comparable same location basis, of the $2.2 million increase related to growth within our existing Worksite pharmacy. The remaining $1.7 million of the $2.2 million increase related to the opening of a new Worksite Pharmacy effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2006.

Valley Medical Supply

In February 2006, we reopened and began providing distribution services from our St. Rose, Louisiana facility which had previously been closed due to Hurricane Katrina. We reconfigured and replenished the warehouse to facilitate the direct distribution of pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. These operations are known as Valley Medical Supply.

Revenues from these operations for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 were $4.2 million compared to $0.8 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005, an increase of $3.4 million or 425.0%. Revenues from these operations for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 were $5.1 million compared to $1.5 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005, an increase of $3.6 million or 240.0%.We expect the revenues attributable to this business to increase during the subsequent quarters in 2006.

Patient Compliance

We have developed programs designed to improve patient compliance and to reduce costs. We have three major programs, a prescription compliance program called Reliable Refill, a discount plan called Senior Save15 and a telephony system designed to notify patients of recalls, provide refill reminders and notify our customers of other important information. Reliable Refill is a compliance program that identifies prescriptions that are due to be filled and schedules them for filling before the patient has run out of the previous prescriptions. Our Senior Save15 program, introduced prior to the Medicare Modernization Act, is our own discount program that gives senior customers access to all of our prescription and over-the-counter products at discounted prices. Our programs are designed to improve medication therapy management among patients with chronic therapeutic needs especially the elderly population. Our data warehouse allows us to identify and target patients with special needs.
 
Technology Improvements and Electronic Prescription Solutions

During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, we continued installing and upgrading our pharmacy management system and our home medical billing software. Upgrades include management of dispensing workflow, electronic signature capture, and improved data management. We believe the improvements to the pharmacy management system will provide value added services to our customers, increased billing capacity and better data management capabilities.

Additionally, we are implementing electronic prescription solutions to include the ability to accept delivery of prescriptions through electronic prescribing software technologies. Our pharmacies are able to accept receipt of electronic prescription orders and refill authorizations with secure, reliable transmission directly from physician practices.
 
Medicare Part D

Pharmacy sales trends are expected to continue to grow due, in part, to the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. As of January 1, 2006, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to receive subsidized prescription drug coverage through the Medicare Part D program. The new drug benefit is delivered by competing plans, and our pharmacies have contracted with each of the major providers to ensure our customers can continue purchasing their prescriptions from our pharmacies. While the new Medicare drug benefit is entirely voluntary, we believe a significant portion of the Medicare population will enjoy this new benefit. During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, net revenues from prescriptions filled under Medicare Part D plans substantially increased compared to the three month period ended April 1, 2006 . For the three month periods ended April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 Medicare Part D prescriptions represented 14.8% and 19.8% ,of total prescription sales, respectively. The gross margin from this business is less than what the traditional prescription drug plans provide and the accounts receivable days outstanding is more than what the traditional prescription drug plans.
 
While the percentage of prescriptions filled through a Medicare Part D plan has continued to increase through July 1, 2006, Medicare Part D plans do not provide coverage for annual drug costs of the beneficiary between $2,250 and $5,100 (sometimes referred to as the “donut hole”). As seniors enter the donut hole, it is unclear what effect, if any, this will have on our revenues or results of operations.

Supply Chain Management

During the three month period ended April 2, 2005, the Company’s primary supplier, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, supplied pharmaceuticals and related products directly to our pharmacy and non-pharmacy locations on a 5 day per week basis. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, the Company began purchasing its products from D&K Healthcare Resources. Under the terms of this agreement, D&K delivered products directly to our distribution center in St. Rose, Louisiana. The products were then distributed to our locations from our full-line wholesale drug distribution facility located in St. Rose, Louisiana based upon the specific needs of the location twice per week.

Because of higher purchasing costs due to our inability to buy on a more credit worthy basis during fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company began to experience a decrease in its ability to supply products to its customers and a decline in our gross margin, resulting in the Company amending its agreement with D&K (which was assumed by McKesson Corporation in August of 2005). Pursuant to the amended agreement, in February 2006, McKesson began supplying products directly to our locations on a 5 day per week basis. As a result, we believe our ability to manage our supply chain has improved.

The amended agreement requires us to purchase primarily all of our products for sale in our pharmacies from McKesson. It contains certain volume requirements and has an initial term of two years, through December 2006, and renews automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party provides the other party a written non-renewal notice. While, we believe that if we were unable to purchase products directly from McKesson we could secure the same products through other sources, including other distributors or directly from the manufacturers, there is a risk that our costs would increase and our supply could be interrupted affecting our net revenues if our primary supplier agreement were to be terminated.  

Hurricane Katrina 
 
In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina resulted in the temporary closure of the warehouse facility located in St. Rose, Louisiana. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which provides for reimbursement from losses resulting from property damage, loss of product and losses from business interruption. The Company estimates approximately $0.2 million of inventory was damaged during the hurricane and that it incurred approximately $0.8 million of incremental costs related to closing the facility and relocating the inventory and operations to our New Castle facility. The Company has evaluated the extent of the loss from business interruption and is attempting to recover these costs through insurance claims. No amounts have been recorded related to amounts that may be received from insurance.
 
Discontinued Operations

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company operated two drug distribution facilities: Valley Drug Company and Valley Drug Company South. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company determined that it would sell certain assets of the drug distribution business and eliminate operations conducted out of the New Castle, Pennsylvania facility and the St. Rose, Louisiana facility related to the distribution to independent pharmacies. Accordingly, as of October 1, 2005, the Company considered substantially all of the wholesale distribution business as discontinued operations for financial statement presentation purposes. In December 2005, Rochester Drug Cooperative (“RDC”) acquired certain assets from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Drug Company, including a customer list, furniture, fixtures and equipment located at the Company’s New Castle, Pennsylvania facility. In connection with the sale, RDC assumed certain property leases, customer and other miscellaneous contracts. The total purchase price for these select assets was $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million was received upon closing and $0.3 million is required to be paid if and when the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) consents to a lease assignment of the New Castle facility to RDC. The Company expects payment of the $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2006.

17




In connection with the sale of these assets, the Company transferred a portion of the New Castle, Pennsylvania pharmaceutical inventory to the Company’s retail pharmacies as well as a portion to its St. Rose, Louisiana facility for continued distribution to the Company’s retail pharmacies and for use in the Valley Medical Supply operations.
 
Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $27.3 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively and $0.0 million and $57.4 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million and $1.7 million and $0.2 million and $3.0 million for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005.

We refer to prescription products as Rx products and to the remaining products, such as over-the-counter medications, home medical equipment and home health appliances, as non-Rx products. While non-Rx reflects a smaller percentage of our overall revenues, the gross margin for non-Rx products is higher. The Rx portion of the pharmacy business is dependent upon a number of third party payors that pay a portion or all of the Rx cost on behalf of the customers, “Third Party Customers.” Prescriptions generated by Third Party Customers represented approximately 93.7% and 94.2% and 93.6% and 94.0%, respectively Rx revenues for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company has reported substantially all of the full-line wholesale drug distribution as discontinued operations.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $11.9 million or 19.6% for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. This compares to $11.0 million or 20.1% for the three month period ended July 2, 2005. Gross margin was $22.8 million or 19.5% for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 compared to $23.0 million or 20.6% for the six month period ended July 2, 2005. The decrease reflects the adverse effect of the efforts of managed care organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other third party payors to reduce their prescription costs. In recent years, our industry has undergone significant changes driven by various efforts to reduce costs. As employers and managed care organizations continue to focus on the costs of branded and specialty pharmaceuticals, we expect there will continue to be negative pressure on gross margins. In addition, gross margin percentage is expected to be negatively impacted because of the recent addition of Medicare Part D and other efforts by third party payors to reduce reimbursement rates. The Company, like several others in the pharmacy industry, continues to experience a significant negative impact on gross margins due to the increasing number of prescriptions filled under Medicare Part D. For the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 Medicare Part D prescriptions represented 19.8% and 17.3% of total prescription sales, respectively.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization expense. Total operating expenses were $15.3 million or 25.2% of net revenues for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. This compared to $15.1 million or 27.7% of net revenues for the three month period ended July 2, 2005. Total operating expenses were $29.2 million or 25.0% of net revenues for the six month period ended July 1, 2006. This compared to $30.3 million or 27.1% of net revenues for the six month period ended July 2, 2005. Information that helps explain our operating expense trend is detailed below:

(1)
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three month period ended July 1, 2006 over the period ended July 2, 2005 is primarily due to increases in payroll and benefits of $0.9 million, temporary labor of $0.3 million, recruiting costs of $0.3 million, insurance of $0.1 million and expenses related to Valley Medical Supply of $0.5 million offset by a decrease in employee stock option expense of $1.8 million. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six month period ended July 1, 2006 over the same period ended July 2, 2005 is primarily due to a decrease in employee stock option expense of $3.7 million, partially offset by increases in payroll and benefits of $1.2 million, temporary labor of $0.4 million, recruiting of $0.4 million, insurance of $0.2 million and expenses related to Valley Medical Supply of $0.7 million.
(2)
The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to fully amortized prescription files.
 
Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 included a gain on the extinguishment of the debt of $13.1 million. We extinguished this debt on June 23, 2006. There was no amounts related to the gain on extinguishment of this debt for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 versus $1.4 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005.  There was no change in the amount of interest expense for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 compared to the three month period ended July 2, 2005 as higher interest rates were offset by lower average outstanding balances.  Interest expense was $2.8 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 versus $2.2 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005.  The increase for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 was due to higher interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness with variable rates.

19



Income Taxes
 
No income taxes have been recorded in any period presented due to the uncertainty of realization of any related deferred tax asset.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
Net income for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 was $7.8 million versus a net loss of $7.1 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005.  Net income for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 was $3.8 million versus a net loss of $12.2 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005.  Factors impacting these results are discussed above.

Inflation and Seasonality
 
Management believes that inflation had no material effect on the operations or our financial condition for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005. Management does not believe that our business is materially impacted by seasonality; however, significant promotional activities can have a direct impact on net revenues for our distribution operations in any given quarter.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At July 1, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $11.7 million. Our working capital deficit is affected by our classification of our revolving credit facility as a current liability as required under EITF issue No. 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock Box Arrangement.” Our revolving credit facility has a contractual life until October 12, 2010. If this liability was classified as a long term liability our working capital deficit would be improved by approximately $38.2 million resulting in working capital of $26.5 million.
 
We have financed our operations and have met our capital requirements primarily through private issuances of equity securities, convertible notes, bank borrowings, trade creditors and cash generated from operations.  Our principal sources of liquidity as of July 1, 2006, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.0 million along with approximately $2.6 million in availability under our $65.0 million revolving credit facility.

Provided that we can continue to successfully execute our growth strategies, and reduce overhead expenses, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund operating losses, capital expenditures, debt service and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months based on our current terms with our suppliers. However, there can be no assurance that events in the future, including without limitation any changed terms imposed upon us by our suppliers or any increase in our reserve imposed under our credit facility will not require us to seek additional capital and, if so required, that capital will be available on terms favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

Credit Facility

On October 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), pursuant to which WFRF will provide the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility up to $65.0 million (the “New Credit Facility”). On that same date the Company terminated its $65 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and in connection therewith repaid all outstanding amounts due under the credit facility to GECC along with a $0.5 million termination fee. The $65.0 million of maximum availability under the New Credit Facility is reduced by a $7.0 million reserve. While the credit facility currently does not require compliance with financial covenants, the Company has the ability to reduce this reserve by $3.5 million by agreeing to implement one or more financial covenants. Available credit is based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files, as defined in and determined pursuant to the agreement, and may be subject to reserves as determined by the lender from time to time. Interest on the revolving line of credit is calculated at the prime index rate plus an applicable prime margin (as defined in the agreement), unless the Company or the lender chooses to convert the loan to a LIBOR-based loan. In each case, interest is adjusted quarterly. The applicable prime index margin as of July 1, 2006 was 8.25%. As of July 1, 2006, the interest rate, including applicable margin, used to calculate accrued interest was 8.5%. Interest is payable monthly.

20



The New Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default (subject to applicable grace periods) for facilities of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the New Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the New Credit Facility shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments shall automatically terminate.

The New Credit Facility includes an early termination fee of $0.7 million if paid in full before October 12, 2008. The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of July 1, 2006, $38.2 million was outstanding on the line and $2.6 million was available for additional borrowings, based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files.
 
Retired Subordinated Note and Convertible Debenture

On March 22, 2005, we converted $23.0 million in accounts payable owed to AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”) (after having repaid $6.0 million on March 23, 2005 in connection with the closing of the new vendor supply agreement) into (a) a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million (the “Subordinated Convertible Debenture”) and (b) a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million (the “Subordinated Note”).

As further described below, on June 29, 2006, the Company and ABDC entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million.
 
The Subordinated Convertible Debenture and Subordinated Note were guaranteed by Familymeds Group and certain of Familymeds Group’s subsidiaries, including Valley Drug Company, Valley Drug Company South, Familymeds, Inc. and Familymeds Holdings, Inc. pursuant to Continuing Guaranty Agreements dated as of March 21, 2005. We also entered into a subordinated security agreement dated as of March 21, 2005, pursuant to which we agreed that upon the occurrence of certain defaults and the passage of applicable cure periods we shall be deemed at that point to have granted to ABDC a springing lien upon and a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure the Subordinated Convertible Debenture and the Subordinated Note.

Pursuant to the Subordinated Note, principal was due and payable in 20 successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.6 million through September 1, 2010, on which date all outstanding amounts are required to be paid. The Subordinated Note interest was a variable rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.0% per annum. The interest rate adjusted on each quarterly payment date based upon the prime rate in effect on each such quarterly payment date; provided that in no event would the interest rate in effect be less than 5.0% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Subordinated Note is due and payable on each quarterly payment date and interest payments commenced on June 1, 2005. Interest of $0.3 million was expensed during the three month period ended July 1, 2006.

Pursuant to the Subordinated Convertible Debenture, principal was due and payable in 19 successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.6 million commencing on March 1, 2006 and continuing until August 15, 2010, on which date all outstanding amounts were required to be paid. Quarterly principal payments were paid in shares of common stock in an amount equal to $0.6 million divided by $3.4416 (the “Issue Price”). The Subordinated Convertible Debenture interest rate was adjusted on each quarterly payment date and was equal to (a) 10%, if the quarterly interest payment is made in common stock or (b) the prime rate on the date the quarterly interest payment is due plus 1% per annum, if the quarterly interest payment was made in cash; provided that in no event would the interest rate in effect be less than 5.0% per annum or greater than 10% per annum.

Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

On June 29, 2006, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and certain other agreements, each effective as of June 23, 2006, with Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Deerfield L.P.”) and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (“Deerfield International”), pursuant to which Deerfield L.P. and Deerfield International (collectively, “Deerfield”) purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.32 million and the second note in the amount of $6.68 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16.5 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.

The $10 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23 million in outstanding subordinated debt with Familymeds Group’s former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”). The subordinated debt with ABDC consisted of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Both original debt instruments were 5-year agreements maturing in September 2010. In connection with the Deerfield transaction, Familymeds Group and ABDC entered into a payoff and mutual release agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million. Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), the Company’s senior lender, consented to Familymeds Group’s early repayment of the ABDC debt and waived any default under Familymeds Group’s credit facility with WFRF as a result of such repayment by entering into an amendment to such credit facility with Familymeds Group and its subsidiaries.

Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.166 million and $0.334 million respectively, beginning on September 1, 2006 and on each December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 thereafter and continuing until June 23, 2011, on which date all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 2.5% for the first year, 5.0% for the second year, 10.0% for the third year, 15.0% for the fourth year and 17.5% for the fifth year. The Notes may be prepaid at anytime without penalty. Interest expense has been estimated over the five year period to be approximately $1.8 million (excludes the effect of amortization of the debt discount of $2.5 million discussed below) and due to the increasing interest rate, the Company will record the average interest expense and record a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter in cash.
 
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” the Company allocated the proceeds received between the debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the dates the proceeds were received. The net value allocated to the warrants was $2.5 million and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The $2.5 million has been recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the Notes, after giving effect to the amortization of the debt discount is approximately 17.0% annually.
 
The Notes contain usual and customary events of default for notes of these dollar amounts and provide that, upon the occurrence of an event default, the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest accrued under each note shall immediately become due and payable without demand or notice to the Company. They are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries Familymeds, Inc. (“Familymeds”) and Valley Drug Company South (“Valley South”). These subordinated security interests are evidenced by three security agreements: (i) a Security Agreement between the Company and Deerfield L.P., as agent for Deerfield (the “Agent”), (ii) a Security Agreement between Familymeds and the Agent, and (iii) a Security Agreement between Valley South and the Agent (collectively, the “Security Agreements”). The Security Agreements are expressly subordinated to the prior lien rights of WFRF pursuant to the Company’s existing credit facility with WFRF. Both Familymeds and Valley South have entered into guaranty agreements pursuant to which they have guaranteed all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of these Notes, 16.5 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 3.0 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.61 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.78 per share; and warrants for 2.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.92 per share. Proceeds from each warrant exercised by Deerfield will be used to equally repay the Notes and for the working capital needs of the Company. All of the Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date. The Company has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which it has agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the closing date, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing of such registration statement.


New Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
  
We do not make use of any off-balance sheet arrangements that currently have or that we expect are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We utilize operating leases for substantially all of our locations. We do not use special-purpose entities in any of our leasing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains a discussion of the Company’s condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including the most significant judgments and estimates. We based our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other facts that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies include: assessing merger goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment, assessing other long-lived assets for impairment, evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and estimating for inventory loss reserves.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
Useful lives for identifiable intangibles are determined based on the expected future period of benefit of the asset, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset, including historical cash flows. After goodwill is initially recorded, annual impairment tests are required, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The amount of goodwill cannot exceed the excess of the fair value of the related reportable unit (which is based on the Company’s stock price) over the fair value of reporting units identifiable assets and liabilities. Continued downward movement in the Company’s common stock price could have a material effect on the fair value of goodwill in future measurement periods. As of July 1, 2006, goodwill was $1.4 million.
 
Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and prescription file intangible assets, to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets, including prescription file intangible assets, exceeds the future cash flows for the assets. For purposes of recognizing and measuring impairment of other long-lived assets, the Company evaluates assets at the location level for pharmacy operations.

25

 
Our impairment loss calculations contain uncertainty since we must use judgment to estimate future revenues, profitability and cash flows. When preparing these estimates, we consider historical results and current operating trends and our consolidated revenues, profitability and cash flow results and forecasts. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, the cost of real estate, the continued efforts of third party customers to reduce their prescription drug costs, regulatory changes the continued efforts of competitors to gain market share and consumer spending patterns. If these projections change in the future, we may be required to write-down our long-lived assets. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment include property and equipment as well as intangible assets, which as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $10.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Trade Receivables

At July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, trade receivables reflected approximately $18.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of amounts due from various insurance companies, governmental agencies and individual customers. Of these amounts, there was approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million reserved as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, for a balance of net trade receivables of $15.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively. We use historical experience, market trends and other analytical data to estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts. Based upon these factors, the reserve at July 1, 2006 is considered adequate. Although we believe that the reserve estimate is reasonable, actual results could differ from our estimate, and such differences could be material. If the estimate is too low, we may incur higher bad debt expenses in the future resulting in lower net income or higher net losses. If the estimate is too high, we may experience lower bad debt expense in the future resulting in higher net income or lower net losses.

Inventories

Inventories consist of pharmaceuticals and other retail merchandise owned by us. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method for pharmaceutical inventory and retail method for retail merchandise inventory) or market. Physical inventory counts are taken on a regular basis in each location to ensure that the amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are properly stated. We use historical data to estimate our inventory loss reserves and we have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish our inventory loss reserves during the past three years. If the estimate of inventory losses is too low we may incur higher cost of sales in the future resulting in lower net income or higher net losses. If the estimate of inventory losses incurred is too high, we may experience lower cost of sales in the future resulting in higher net income or lower net losses. Inventories as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $27.5 million and $30.6 million, respectively, net of approximately $2.1 million and $2.1 million of inventory loss reserves, respectively.

 

We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to address market risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
  
 We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

26

 
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 
 
There has been no significant change in the status of the legal matters described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Form 10-K, as amended.


There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Form 10-K, as amended.

Employee shall serve the Company and any Affiliates by performing such duties and carrying out such responsibilities as are normally related to the position of Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in accordance with the standards of the industry. The Employee shall report to the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Employee shall have such other responsibilities as the Company may reasonably determine from time to time, including, without limitation, such management duties as may be necessary or desirable to further the interests of the Affiliates of the Company. Nevertheless, it is understood and agreed that the Employee shall not be given duties or responsibilities that are inconsistent in any material way with his position as a member of the senior management of the Company, nor shall the Employee be expected to move, relocate or have a principal place of business that is more than fifty (50) miles from Farmington, Connecticut.

Employee’s responsibilities and capacities shall include, without limitation, the following:
 
2

(a) overall responsibility for store operations;

(b) planning and strategic framework for all operations;
 
(c) handling all operational relationships;
 
(d) set standards for operational matters; and
  
(e) overall supervision and responsibility for all operations staff.
 
2.02 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on May 2, 2006 and, unless sooner terminated as provided in Section 4 hereof, terminate on May 2, 2008; provided, however, that this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive two (2) year periods thereafter without the necessity of any action or notice by either party to the other, except that either party may terminate this Agreement following the Initial Term by giving the other party written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement at least ninety (90) days prior to the proposed termination date.
 
2.03 Best Efforts Covenant. Employee will, to the best of his ability, devote his full professional and business time and best efforts to the performance of his duties for the Company and its Affiliates. The Employee shall at all times comply with all state and federal laws, rules and regulations with respect to the operations of the Company, or its Affiliates.
 
2.04 Exclusivity Covenant. During the Agreement’s term, Employee will not undertake or engage in any other employment, occupation or business enterprise other than a business enterprise in which Employee does not actively participate. Further, Employee agrees not to acquire, assume, or participate in, directly or indirectly, any position, investment, or interest adverse or antagonistic to the Company, its business prospects, financial or otherwise, or take any action towards any of the foregoing. The provisions of this Section shall not prevent Employee from owning shares of any competitor of the company as long as such shares (i) do not constitute more than 1% of the outstanding equity of such competitor, and (ii) are regularly traded on a recognized exchange, or listed for trading by NASDAQ in the over-the-counter market.
 
2.05 Intentionally Omitted.
 
2.06 Confidential Information. Employee recognizes and acknowledges that the Company’s trade secrets, proprietary information and know-how, as they may exist from time to time (“Confidential Information”), are valuable, special and unique assets of the Company’s business, and that access to and knowledge of the Confidential Information is the term of his employment by the Company, in whole or in part, disclose such secrets, information or know-how to any Person for any reason or purpose whatsoever, nor shall Employee make use of any such Confidential Information for his own purposes or for the benefit of any Person (except the Company) under any circumstances during or after the term of his employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the term of Employee’s employment the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to such secrets, information and know-how which are then in the public domain (provided that Employee was not responsible, directly or indirectly, for such secrets, information or know-how entering the public domain without the Company’s consent). Employee shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent its disclosure is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, the Employee shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement, prior to making any disclosure, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. Employee agrees to hold as the Company’s property all memoranda, books, papers, letters, customer lists, processes, computer software, records, financial information, policy and procedure manuals, training and recruiting procedures and other data, and all copies thereof and therefrom, in any way relating to the Company’s business and affairs, whether made by him or otherwise coming into his possession, and on termination of his employment, or on demand of the Company at any time, to deliver the same to the Company.
 
Employee shall use his best efforts to prevent any removal of any Confidential Information from the premises of the Company, except as required in his normal course of employment by the Company. Employee shall use his best efforts to cause all persons or entities to whom any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by him hereunder to observe the terms and conditions set forth herein as though each such person or entity was bound hereby.

Employee agrees that every improvement, invention, process apparatus, method, design, and any other creation that Employee may invent, discover, conceive, or originate by himself or in conjunction with any other Person during the term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement that relates to the business carried on by the Company during the term of Employee’s employment under this Agreement or contemplated by the Company during the term hereof even if not implemented during the term of this Agreement (“Work For Hire”) shall be the exclusive property of the Company. Employee agrees to disclose to the Company every patent application, notice of copyright, or other action taken by Employee or any affiliate or assignee to protect intellectual property during the 12 months following Employee’s termination of employment at the Company, for whatever reason, so that the Company may determine whether to assert a claim under this Section or any other provision of this Agreement. The Employee does hereby assign to the Company all of the Work For Hire and hereby appoints the Company as his attorney-in-fact coupled with an interest to execute such documents as may be required to evidence such assignment.
 
2.09 Equitable Relief. Employee acknowledges that his services to the Company are of a unique character which give them a special value to the Company. Employee further recognizes that violations by Employee of any one or more of the provisions of this Section 2 may give rise to losses or damages for which the Company cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in an action at law and that such violations may result in irreparable and continuing harm to the Company. Employee agrees that, therefore, in addition to any other remedy which the Company may have at law and equity, including the right to withhold any payment of compensation under Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief to restrain any violation, actual or threatened, by Employee of the provisions of this Agreement.

3.01 Minimum Annual Compensation. The Company shall pay to Employee for the services to be rendered herein a base salary at the annual rate of Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand ($275,000.00) Dollars (“Minimum Annual Compensation”), which base salary shall be subject to annual review and increase to be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board. Employee’s salary shall be payable bi-weekly. For fiscal years beginning 2007 and thereafter, the Board shall examine and modify Executive’s base salary with reference to prevailing competitive standards for comparable positions in organizations similar to the Company, as determined by an independent consultant approved by the Board and Executive. 

3.02 Incentive Compensation. In addition to Minimum Annual Compensation, Employee shall be entitled to participate in, at the discretion of the Board, any bonus or incentive compensation plan adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board for key employees of the Company, up to seventy-five percent (75%) of Minimum Annual Compensation, provided the Employee attained the goals (the “Performance Goals”) which may be set by the Board from time to time.
 
3.03 Participating in Benefits. Employee shall be entitled to all Benefits made available to similarly situated employees of the Company, other than medical and dental benefits, for as long as such Benefits may remain in effect. In addition, Employee shall be entitled to any substitute or additional Benefits made available in the future to similarly situated employees of the Company.

Employee’s entitlement to the aforementioned Benefits shall be subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such Benefits adopted by the Company and in the discretion of the Company. Benefits paid to Employee shall not be deemed to be in lieu of other compensation to Employee hereunder as described in this Section 3.
 
4

3.04 Specific Benefits. During the term of this Agreement (and thereafter to the extent this Agreement shall require):
 
(a) Vacation. Employee shall be entitled to four (4) weeks of paid vacation time per year, to be taken at time mutually acceptable to the Company and Employee.
 
(b) Insurance Policies. The Company may, at its discretion, and at any time after the execution of this Agreement, and for so long as Employee remains employed by the Company, apply for and procure, as owner and for its own benefit, insurance on the life of the Employee, in such amounts and in such form or forms as the Company may choose. The Employee shall have no interest whatsoever in the policy or policies, but the Employee shall, at the request of the Company, subject himself to such medical examinations, supply such information, and execute such documents as may be required by the insurance company or companies to which it has applied for such insurance. At the termination of employment hereunder either for cause or otherwise, the Company shall either: (i) surrender such policies to the issuer; or (ii) transfer ownership of any policies procured pursuant to this Agreement to the Employee who shall thereafter be responsible for the payment of any premiums thereunder. It is the intention of the parties that the Company shall retain no insurance on the life of the Employee after employment hereunder has been terminated for any reason whatsoever.
 
(c) Disability. If Employee is unable to perform his obligations under this Agreement because of illness and/or disability, Employee shall continue to receive his full compensation and benefits under this Agreement for a period not to exceed six (6) consecutive months; provided, however, Employee’s base salary from the Company shall be reduced by the amount, if any, of income payments received by Employee as a result of group or individual disability insurance coverage maintained at the cost of the Company.
 
(d) Purchasing Allowance. The Company shall reimburse Employee for expenditures made by the Employee at any Arrow Prescription Center location in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Dollars ($200) per month.
 
(e) Medical Reimbursement.

(f) Expense Reimbursement. Employee shall be entitled to receive prompt reimbursements for all reasonable expenses incurred by him (in accordance with the policies and procedures established by the Company or the Board for the similarly situated employees of the Company) in performing services hereunder.
 
(g) Automobile Allowance. Employee shall be entitled to an automobile allowance in an amount not to exceed six hundred dollars ($600) per month.
 
(h) Fitness or Club Allowance. Employee shall be entitled to a fitness or club allowance in an amount not to exceed two hundred dollars ($200) per month.
 

4. Termination.
 
4.01 Termination by Company for Other Than Cause. If during the term of this Agreement the Company terminates the employment of Employee and such termination is not for Cause then the Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to the monthly portion of Employee’s Minimum Annual Compensation multiplied by twelve (12) months (the “Severance Period”). If during the term of this Agreement there is a Change of Control resulting in a change of position of Employee’s employment, and if Employee’s annual compensation in his new position shall be less than the Minimum Annual Compensation, then the difference shall be paid to Employee for the balance of the Severance Period. If the Employee’s employment in a new position shall terminate or if the Employee is reassigned to a location more than fifty (50) miles from Farmington, Connecticut, then for the purposes of this paragraph 4.01, Employee shall be entitled to continuation of the Minimum Annual Compensation until the earlier of the conclusion of the Severance Period or the date when he shall again become reemployed, in which case only the difference shall be payable as aforesaid. If the Employee’s reemployment in a new position shall terminate, Employee shall use his best efforts to become reemployed as soon as reasonable possible in a position consistent with Employee’s experience and stature. Any amounts due hereunder shall be paid at such times and in such manner as the Employee had previously been paid his Minimum Annual Compensation. The payments provided herein are in lieu of any other payments due the Employee hereunder, including but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract.
 
5

4.02 Termination by the Company for Cause. The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee for Cause, however, nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of the right of the Employee to challenge the Company’s determination of Cause. Effective as of the date that the employment of Employee terminates for Cause, this Agreement, except for Sections 2.04 through 2.09, shall terminate and no further payments of the Compensation described in Section 3 (except for such remaining payments of Minimum Annual Compensation under Section 3.01 relating to periods during which Employee was employed by the Company, benefits which are required by applicable law to be continued, and reimbursement of prior expenses under Section 3.04) shall be made.
 
4.03 Termination on Account of Employee’s Death.
 
(a) In the event of Employee’s death during the term of this Agreement;
 
 
(1)
This Agreement shall terminate except as provided in this Section; and
 
 
(2)
The Company shall pay to Employee’s beneficiary or beneficiaries (or to his estate if he fails to make such designation) an amount equal to the Employee’s Minimum Annual Compensation as in effect on the date of his death. This amount shall be paid in one lump sum as soon as practicable after the date of his death.
 
(b) Employee may designate one or more beneficiaries for the purposes of this Section by making a written designation and delivering such designation to the Treasurer of the Company. If Employee makes more than one such written designation, the designation last received before Employee’s death shall control.
 
4.04 Termination on Account of Disability. The Company shall have the right to terminate the employment of Employee in case of Disability of the Employee. In such case, the provisions of Section 3.04(c) of this Agreement shall apply and the provisions of Section 4.01 of this Agreement shall not apply, notwithstanding the terms of said Section 4.01.
 
4.05 Benefits Upon Termination. Upon the termination of the Employee’s employment hereunder for Cause, the Employee shall not receive any other benefits except as required by law. In the case of termination without Cause, any health insurance, dental insurance, life insurance and disability insurance coverage provided under the Company’s benefit programs shall be continued for a period of twelve months or such earlier date that the Employee obtains other employment.

5. Miscellaneous.
 
5.01 Assignment. The Company shall have the right to assign all of its rights under this Agreement to any affiliate or to any purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Company; provided, however, any such assignment shall not release the Company from any of its obligations under this Agreement. Upon any such assignment, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of such assigns and the Employee. If any such purchaser of substantially all of the assets of the Company is unwilling to accept an assignment of this Agreement and to assume the obligations hereof, then Company shall remain fully liable hereunder notwithstanding the sale of its assets and the resulting cessation of its business operations. The Employee shall have no right to assign or delegate any rights or obligations under this Agreement.
 
6

5.03 Interpretation. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, but this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had never been contained herein.
 
5.04 Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be effective when received and shall be sufficient if in writing and if personally delivered or sent by prepaid cable, telex or registered air mail, return receipt requested, to the party to receive such notice at its address set forth at the end of this Agreement or at such other address as a party may by notice specify to the other.
 
5.05 Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, supplemented or waived except by a writing signed by the party against which such amendment or waiver is to be enforced.

The rights and protection afforded by any and all provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of (and may be fully enforced by) any Affiliate of the Company, it being understood such Affiliates are intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.
 
5.09 Partial Invalidity. The invalidity of one or more of the phrases, sentences, clauses, sections or articles contained in the Agreement shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions.
 
5.10 Genders. Any reference to the masculine gender shall be deemed to include the feminine and neuter genders, and vice versa, and any reference to the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.

Each of Deerfield L.P. and Deerfield International is referred to as a “Purchaser,” and collectively as the “Purchasers.”
 

 
W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, the Purchasers are willing to purchase from the Seller, and the Seller desires to sell to the Purchasers (i) secured promissory notes, dated the date hereof, pursuant to which the Seller promises to pay to the order of Purchasers the aggregate principal sum of ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) plus interest on the terms set forth therein (collectively, the “Notes”) and (ii) an aggregate of eight (8) Common Stock Purchase Warrants, each dated the date hereof (collectively, the “Warrants”), entitling the holder thereof to purchase an aggregate of 16,500,000 shares of the Seller’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), on the terms set forth therein.
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I - PURCHASE AND SALE
 
1.1 Purchase and Sale. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2), the Seller will sell and each Purchaser will purchase the Notes in such principal amount and the Warrants exercisable initially into such number of shares of Common Stock, as are listed on Schedule 1.1 hereto. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Warrant Stock.”
 
1.2 Terms of the Notes and Warrants. The terms and provisions of the Notes are more fully set forth in the forms of Secured Promissory Note, attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and as Exhibit A-2, respectively. The terms and provisions of the Warrants are more fully set forth in the forms of Common Stock Purchase Warrant, attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, B-7, and B-8, respectively.
 
1.3 Transfers; Legends. Except as required by federal securities laws and the securities law of any state or other jurisdiction within the United States, the Notes, Warrants and Warrant Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) may be transferred, in whole or in part, by a Purchaser at any time. Any such transfer shall be made by a Purchaser in accordance with applicable law. In connection with any transfer of Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to the Seller, the Seller may require the transferor thereof to furnish to the Seller an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor, such counsel and the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and Seller’s counsel, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller hereby consents to and agrees to register on the books of the Seller and with any transfer agent for the securities of the Seller, without any such legal opinion, any transfer of Securities by a Purchaser to an Affiliate of such Purchaser, provided that the transferee certifies to the Seller that it is an Affiliate of such Purchaser and an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and that it is acquiring the Securities solely for investment purposes (subject to the qualifications hereof) and not with a view to, or for, resale, distribution or fractionalization thereof in whole or in part in violation of the Securities Act. Any transferee of the Warrant Stock shall agree to be bound by the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in Section 6.1) and this Agreement. The Seller shall reissue certificates evidencing the Securities upon surrender of certificates evidencing the Securities being transferred in accordance with this Section 1.3. An “Affiliate” means any Person (as such term is defined below) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Purchaser, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the investment manager of such Purchaser will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Purchaser. A “Person” means any individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision of any thereof) or other entity of any kind.
 
2

ARTICLE II - PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING
 
2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by the Purchasers to the Seller to acquire the Notes and the Warrants is ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00).
 
2.2 The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable, following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6.1(a) and 6.2(a) at the offices of Seller’s counsel. The date on which the Closing occurs is the “Closing Date.”
 
ARTICLE III - REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SELLER
 
The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchasers as follows:
 
3.1 Corporate Existence and Power; Subsidiaries. The Seller and its Subsidiaries (as defined below) are corporations duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state in which they are incorporated, and have all corporate powers required to carry on their business as now conducted. The Seller and its Subsidiaries are duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character of the property owned or leased by them or the nature of their activities makes such qualification necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any person or entity, a material adverse effect on its and its Subsidiaries’ condition (financial or otherwise), business, properties, assets, liabilities (including contingent liabilities), results of operations or current prospects, taken as a whole. True and complete copies of the Seller’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and Bylaws, as amended, as currently in effect and as will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Articles and Bylaws”), have previously been made available to the Purchasers. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” means, with respect to any entity, any corporation or other organization of which securities or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions are directly or indirectly owned by such entity or of which such entity is a partner or is, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of 50% or more of any class of equity securities or equivalent profit participation interests.
 
3

(c) Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf, shall directly or indirectly make any offers or sales of any securities or solicit any offers to buy any securities under circumstances that would cause the loss of the 4(2) exemption under the Securities Act for the transactions contemplated hereby. Subject to any consent or approval rights of the Purchasers hereunder, in the event the Company contemplates an offering of its equity or debt securities within six months following the Closing Date, the Company agrees that it shall notify the Purchasers of such offering (without providing any material non-public information to any Purchaser without its prior approval) , and upon the reasonable request of a Purchaser, the Company shall first disclose the terms and conditions and other relevant facts of such proposed transaction to the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) and obtain from Nasdaq its assurance that such transaction will not be integrated with the offering which is the subject of this Agreement for purposes of the Nasdaq rules requiring shareholder approval of the issuance of 20% or more of an issuer’s outstanding common stock.

23

7.2 Indemnification.
 
(a) The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers, their Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (i) any breach or default in the performance by the Seller of any covenant or agreement made by the Seller in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; (ii) any breach of warranty or representation made by the Seller in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; and (iii) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing.
 
(b) Each Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, its Affiliates, each of their officers, directors, employees and agents and their respective successors and assigns, from and against any losses, damages, or expenses which are caused by or arise out of (A) any breach or default in the performance by such Purchaser of any covenant or agreement made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; (B) any breach of warranty or representation made by such Purchaser in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents; and (C) any and all third party actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, judgments, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that such Purchaser’s liability under this Section 7.2(b) shall not exceed the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser hereunder.
 
7.3 Indemnity Procedure. A party or parties hereto agreeing to be responsible for or to indemnify against any matter pursuant to this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Party” and the other party or parties claiming indemnity is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”. An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity under this Agreement within twenty (20) days of the receipt of any written claim from any such third party, but not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date any answer or responsive pleading is due, and with respect to other matters for which the Indemnified Party may seek indemnification, give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a claim for indemnity; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are materially prejudiced thereby.
 
The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defense or settlement of such claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least ten (10) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. If the Indemnifying Party makes such election, it may conduct the defense of such claim through counsel of its choosing (subject to the Indemnified Party’s approval of such counsel, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), shall be solely responsible for the expenses of such defense and shall be bound by the results of its defense or settlement of the claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any such claim without prior notice to and consultation with the Indemnified Party, and no such settlement involving any equitable relief or which might have an adverse effect on the Indemnified Party may be agreed to without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). So long as the Indemnifying Party is diligently contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party may pay or settle such claim only at its own expense and the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, unless the named parties to any proceeding include both parties or representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicts of interest or otherwise. If the Indemnifying Party does not make such election, or having made such election does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party proceed diligently to defend such claim, then the Indemnified Party may (after written notice to the Indemnifying Party), at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, elect to take over the defense of and proceed to handle such claim in its discretion and the Indemnifying Party shall be bound by any defense or settlement that the Indemnified Party may make in good faith with respect to such claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle any such claims without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). In connection therewith, the Indemnifying Party will fully cooperate with the Indemnified Party should the Indemnified Party elect to take over the defense of any such claim. The parties agree to cooperate in defending such third party claims and the Indemnified Party shall provide such cooperation and such access to its books, records and properties as the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request with respect to any matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; and the parties hereto agree to cooperate with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense thereof.
 
24

With regard to claims of third parties for which indemnification is payable hereunder, such indemnification shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the entry of a judgment against the Indemnified Party and the expiration of any applicable appeal period, or if earlier, five (5) days prior to the date that the judgment creditor has the right to execute the judgment; (ii) the entry of an unappealable judgment or final appellate decision against the Indemnified Party; or (iii) a settlement of the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to this Section 7.3, the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed on a current basis by the Indemnifying Party.

2. Exercise of Warrant.
 
2.1. Manner of Exercise. From and after the issuance hereof and until 5:00 P.M., New York time, on the Expiration Date (the “Exercise Period”), the Holder may exercise this Warrant, on any Business Day, for all or any part of the number of shares of Warrant Stock purchasable hereunder.
 
In order to exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part, the Holder shall deliver to the Company at its principal office or at the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 11, (i) a written notice of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant, which notice shall specify the number of shares of Warrant Stock to be purchased, (ii) payment of the Warrant Price as provided herein, and (iii) this Warrant. Such notice shall be substantially in the form of the subscription form appearing at the end of this Warrant as Exhibit A, duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon receipt thereof, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, and in any event within three Business Days thereafter, execute or cause to be executed and deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing the aggregate number of full shares of Warrant Stock issuable upon such exercise, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share, as hereinafter provided. The stock certificate or certificates so delivered shall be, to the extent possible, in such denomination or denominations as the Holder shall request in the notice and shall be registered in the name of the Holder or such other name as shall be designated in the notice. This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised and such certificate or certificates shall be deemed to have been issued, and the Holder or any other Person so designated to be named therein shall be deemed to have become a Holder of record of such shares for all purposes, as of the date when the notice, together with the payment of the Warrant Price and this Warrant, is received by the Company as described above. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the time of delivery of the certificate or certificates representing Warrant Stock, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased shares of Common Stock called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant, or at the request of the Holder, appropriate notation may be made on this Warrant and the same returned to the Holder.
 
Payment of the Warrant Price may be made at the option of the Holder by: (i) certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company, (ii) wire transfer to the account of the Company or (iii) the surrender and cancellation of a portion of shares of Common Stock then held by the Holder or issuable upon such exercise of this Warrant, which shall be valued and credited toward the total Warrant Price due the Company for the exercise of the Warrant based upon the Current Market Price of the Common Stock; provided, however, that payment of the Warrant Price under this clause (iii) may only be made if all of the amounts owed by the Company under the promissory notes issued under the Purchase Agreement have been paid in full. All shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to the terms hereof shall be validly issued and, upon payment of the Warrant Price, shall be fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.
 
4

2.2. Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue a fractional share of Common Stock upon exercise of any Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder of one or more Warrants, the rights under which are exercised in the same transaction, would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Current Market Price per share of Common Stock on the date of exercise multiplied by such fraction.
 
2.3. Restrictions on Exercise Amount.
 
(i) Unless a Holder delivers to the Company irrevocable written notice at least sixty-one days prior to the effective date of the exercise of this Warrant that this Section 2.3(i) shall not apply to such Holder, the Holder may not acquire a number of shares of Warrant Stock to the extent that, upon such exercise, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) exceeds 9.95% of the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issued and outstanding. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the percentage held by the Holder shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Each delivery of a notice of exercise by a Holder will constitute a representation by such Holder that it has evaluated the limitation set forth in this paragraph and determined, based on the most recent public filings by the Company with the Commission, that the issuance of the full number of shares of Warrant Stock requested in such notice of exercise is permitted under this paragraph.
 
(ii) In the event the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Warrant Stock as a result of any restrictions or prohibitions under applicable law or the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization, the Company shall as soon as possible seek the approval of its stockholders and take such other action to authorize the issuance of the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
3. Transfer, Division and Combination.
 
3.1. Transfer. The Warrants and the Warrant Stock shall be freely transferable, subject to compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Securities Act. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant or the resale of the Warrant Stock, this Warrant or the Warrant Stock, as applicable, shall not be registered under the Securities Act, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer (i) that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant or the Warrant Stock as the case may be, furnish to the Company a written opinion of counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that such transfer may be made without registration under the Securities Act, (ii) that the Holder or transferee execute and deliver to the Company an investment letter in form and substance acceptable to the Company and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto and (iii) that the transferee be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act. Transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company referred to in Section 2.1 or the office or agency designated by the Company pursuant to Section 11, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees and in the denomination specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Following a transfer that complies with the requirements of this Section 3.1, the Warrant may be exercised by a new Holder for the purchase of shares of Common Stock regardless of whether the Company issued or registered a new Warrant on the books of the Company.
 
5

3.2. Restrictive Legends. Each certificate for Warrant Stock initially issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, and each certificate for Warrant Stock issued to any subsequent transferee of any such certificate, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends in substantially the following form:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED, IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SAID ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION UNDER SAID ACT IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
“THE SALE, TRANSFER OR ASSIGNMENT OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF JUNE 23, 2006, AS AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AMONG THE COMPANY, DEERFIELD SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND, L.P., AND DEERFIELD SPECIAL SITUATIONS FUND INTERNATIONAL, LIMITED. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
 
3.3. Division and Combination; Expenses; Books. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office or agency of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 3.1 as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3. The Company agrees to maintain, at its aforesaid office or agency, books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Warrants.
 
6

4. Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable, and the price at which such shares may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant, shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 4. The Company shall give the Holder notice of any event described below which requires an adjustment pursuant to this Section 4 in accordance with Sections 5.1 and 5.2.
 
4.1. Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time while this Warrant is outstanding the Company shall:
 
(i) declare a dividend or make a distribution on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock,
 
(ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares of Common Stock, or
 
(iii) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then:
 
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately after the occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted to equal the number of shares of Common Stock which a record holder of the same number of shares of Common Stock that would have been acquirable under this Warrant immediately prior to the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision or combination would own or be entitled to receive after such record date or the effective date of such subdivision or combination, as applicable, and
 
(2) the Warrant Price shall be adjusted to equal:
 
(A) the Current Warrant Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision or combination, multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the adjustment, divided by
 
(B) the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately after such adjustment.
 
Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.
 
7

4.2. Securities Issuances. In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries (A) issues or sells any Common Stock or convertible securities, warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase or exchange for, shares of Common Stock (“Convertible Securities”) or (B) directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, at or to an effective Per Share Selling Price (as defined below) which is less than the greater of (I) the closing sale price per share of the Common Stock on the principal market on which the Common Stock is traded the trading day next preceding such issue or sale or, in the case of issuances to holders of its Common Stock, the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such warrants, rights, or options (“Fair Market Price”), or (II) the Current Warrant Price, then in each such case the Current Warrant Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale or record date, as applicable, shall be automatically reduced effective concurrently with such issue or sale to an amount determined by multiplying the Current Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale, plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the Company for such additional shares would purchase at such Fair Market Price or Current Warrant Price, as the case may be, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such issue or sale. The foregoing provision shall not apply to any issuances or sales of Common Stock or Convertible Securities (i) pursuant to any Convertible Securities currently outstanding on the date hereof in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Securities in effect on the date hereof, or (ii) to any officer, director or employee of the Company pursuant to a bona fide option or equity incentive plan duly adopted by the Company. The Company shall give to the Holder written notice of any such sale of Common Stock within 24 hours of the closing of any such sale and shall within such 24 hour period issue a press release announcing such sale if such sale is a material event for, or otherwise material to, the Company.
 
For the purposes of the foregoing adjustments, in the case of the issuance of any Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Common Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities, and provided further that to the extent such Convertible Securities expire or terminate unconverted or unexercised, then at such time the Current Warrant Price shall be readjusted as if such portion of such Convertible Securities had not been issued.
 
For purposes of this Section 4.2, if an event occurs that triggers more than one of the above adjustment provisions, then only one adjustment shall be made and the calculation method which yields the greatest downward adjustment in the Current Warrant Price shall be used.
 
8

“Per Share Selling Price” shall include the amount actually paid by third parties for each share of Common Stock in a sale or issuance by the Company. In the event a fee is paid by the Company in connection with such transaction directly or indirectly to such third party or its affiliates, any such fee shall be deducted from the selling price pro rata to all shares sold in the transaction to arrive at the Per Share Selling Price. A sale of shares of Common Stock shall include the sale or issuance of Convertible Securities, and in such circumstances the Per Share Selling Price of the Common Stock covered thereby shall also include the exercise, exchange or conversion price thereof (in addition to the consideration received by the Company upon such sale or issuance less the fee amount as provided above). In case of any such security issued in a transaction in which the purchase price or the conversion, exchange or exercise price is directly or indirectly subject to adjustment or reset based on a future date, future trading prices of the Common Stock, specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for the Common Stock, or otherwise (but excluding standard stock split anti-dilution provisions), the Per Share Selling Price shall be deemed to be the lowest conversion, exchange, exercise or reset price at which such securities are converted, exchanged, exercised or reset or might have been converted, exchanged, exercised or reset, or the lowest adjustment, as the case may be, over the life of such securities. If shares are issued for a consideration other than cash, the Per Share Selling Price shall be the fair value of such consideration as determined in good faith by independent certified public accountants mutually acceptable to the Company and the Holder. In the event the Company directly or indirectly effectively reduces the conversion, exercise or exchange price for any Convertible Securities which are currently outstanding, then the Per Share Selling Price shall equal such effectively reduced conversion, exercise or exchange price.
 
4.3. Other Provisions Applicable to Adjustments. The following provisions shall be applicable to the making of adjustments of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable and the Current Warrant Price provided for in Section 4:
 
(a) When Adjustments to Be Made. The adjustments required by Section 4 shall be made whenever and as often as any specified event requiring an adjustment shall occur, except that any that would otherwise be required may be postponed (except in the case of a subdivision or combination of shares of the Common Stock, as provided for in Section 4.1) up to, but not beyond the date of exercise if such adjustment either by itself or with other adjustments not previously made adds or subtracts less than 1% of the shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to the making of such adjustment. Any adjustment representing a change of less than such minimum amount (except as aforesaid) which is postponed shall be carried forward and made as soon as such adjustment, together with other adjustments required by this Section 4 and not previously made, would result in a minimum adjustment or on the date of exercise. For the purpose of any adjustment, any specified event shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of its occurrence.
 
(b) Fractional Interests. In computing adjustments under this Section 4, fractional interests in Common Stock shall be taken into account to the nearest 1/100th of a share.
 
(c) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Company undertakes a transaction contemplated under this Section 4 and as a result takes a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution or subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4 and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend, distribution, subscription or purchase rights or other benefits contemplated under this Section 4, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled.
 
9

4.4. Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets.
 
(a) If there shall occur a Change of Control and, pursuant to the terms of such Change of Control, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation (“Other Property”), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Holder of this Warrant shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon the exercise of the Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and the Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such Change of Control by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.
 
(b) In case of any such Change of Control described in Section 4.4(a) above, the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Company) shall expressly assume the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of contained in this Warrant to be performed and observed by the Company and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock into which this Warrant is exercisable which shall be as nearly equivalent as practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section 4. For purposes of Section 4, common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets on liquidation over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock.

10

4.5. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company agrees not to enter into any transaction which, by reason of any adjustment hereunder, would cause the Current Warrant Price to be less than the par value per share of Common Stock.
 
4.6. Stock Transfer Taxes. The issue of stock certificates upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the holder for any tax in respect of such issue. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares in any name other than that of the holder of this Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such stock certificate unless and until the person or persons requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
5. Notices to Warrant Holders.
 
5.1. Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Current Warrant Price, the Company, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to the Holder of this Warrant a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Company shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder of this Warrant, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments and readjustments, (ii) the Current Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, or other property which at the time would be received upon the exercise of Warrants owned by such Holder.
 
5.2. Notice of Corporate Action. If at any time:
 
(a) the Company shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earnings or earned surplus legally available for the payment of dividends under the laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for or purchase any evidences of its indebtedness, any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, or
 
(b) there shall be any capital reorganization of the Company, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company or any consolidation or merger of the Company with, or any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all the property, assets or business of the Company to, another corporation, or
 
(c) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;
 
11

then, in any one or more of such cases, the Company shall give to the Holder (subject to the Holder’s execution of a reasonable confidentiality agreement) (i) at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the record date for such dividend, distribution or right or for determining rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, and (ii) in the case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place. Such notice in accordance with the foregoing clause also shall specify (i) the record date for such dividend, distribution or right, the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to any such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character thereof, and (ii) the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is to take place and the time, if any such time is to be fixed, as of which the holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Each such written notice shall be sufficiently given if addressed to the Holder at the last address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company and delivered in accordance with Section 13.2.
 
5.3. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to exercise and payment for the Warrant Price in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
6. No Impairment. The Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its articles of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Holder against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (a) not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (b) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (c) use its best efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant. Upon the request of the Holder, the Company will at any time during the period this Warrant is outstanding acknowledge in writing, in form satisfactory to the Holder, the continuing validity of this Warrant and the obligations of the Company hereunder.
 
12

7. Reservation and Authorization of Common Stock; Registration With Approval of Any Governmental Authority. From and after the Closing Date, the Company shall at all times reserve and keep available for issue upon the exercise of Warrants such number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants (without regard to any ownership limitations provided in Section 2.3(i)). All shares of Common Stock which shall be so issuable, when issued upon exercise of any Warrant and payment therefor in accordance with the terms of such Warrant, shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable, and not subject to preemptive rights. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Current Warrant Price below the then par value, if any, of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall take any corporate action which may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Common Stock at such adjusted Current Warrant Price. Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Current Warrant Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof. If any shares of Common Stock required to be reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants require registration or qualification with any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares may be so issued (other than as a result of a prior or contemplated distribution by the Holder of this Warrant), the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible and at its expense endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered.
 
8. Taking of Record; Stock and Warrant Transfer Books. In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.
 
9. Registration Rights. The resale of the Warrant Stock shall be registered in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in that certain Investor Rights Agreement dated of even date hereof, among Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited and the Company (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Holder acknowledges that pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company has the right to request that the Holder furnish information regarding such Holder and the distribution of the Warrant Stock as is required by law or the Commission to be disclosed in the Registration Statement (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), and the Company may exclude from such registration the shares of Warrant Stock acquirable hereunder if Holder fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time prior to the filing of each Registration Statement, supplemented prospectus included therein and/or amended Registration Statement.
 
10. Loss or Mutilation. Upon receipt by the Company from the Holder of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto and in case of mutilation upon surrender and cancellation hereof, the Company will execute and deliver in lieu hereof a new Warrant of like tenor to the Holder; provided, however, that in the case of mutilation, no indemnity shall be required if this Warrant in identifiable form is surrendered to the Company for cancellation.
 
13

11. Office of the Company. As long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain an office or agency (which may be the principal executive offices of the Company) where the Warrants may be presented for exercise, registration of transfer, division or combination as provided in this Warrant.
 
12. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of affirmative action by the Holder to purchase shares of Common Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder hereof, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
 
13. Miscellaneous.
 
13.1 Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of the Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. If the Company fails to make, when due, any payments provided for hereunder, or fails to comply with any other provision of this Warrant, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any third party costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
 
13.2 Notice Generally. All notices, requests, demands or other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and to the addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
 
13.3 Successors and Assigns. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 3.1, this Warrant and the rights evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors of the Company and the successors and assigns of the Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of all Holders from time to time of this Warrant, and shall be enforceable by any such Holder.
 
13.4 Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions of this Warrant waived with the written consent of both the Company and the Holder.
 
13.5 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be modified to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
 
13.6 Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
 
14

13.7 Governing Law.

The Company hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal courts located in New York City, New York in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant. In any such litigation the Company agrees that the service thereof may be made by certified or registered mail directed to the Company pursuant to Section 13.2.

3

(k) In the event that, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a prospectus included in a Registration Statement due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall notify all Holders to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, each such Holder shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such Holder has received copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that then current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

6. Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:
 
(a) The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holders, each of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners and shareholders, and each person, if any, who controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (joint or several) incurred (collectively, “Claims”) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereof or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the Commission) or the omission to state therein any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law (the matters in foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) being, collectively, “Violations”). The Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) below, reimburse each Indemnified Person, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any reasonable legal and other reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements in giving testimony or furnishing documents in response to a subpoena or otherwise, including without limitation, the costs, expenses and disbursements, as and when incurred, of investigating, preparing or defending any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether or not in connection with litigation in which an Indemnified Person is a party), incurred by it in connection with the investigation or defense of any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a) shall not (i) apply to any Claim arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or omission made in a Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement, in each case, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto; (ii) be available to the extent that such Claim is based upon a failure of a Holder to deliver or to cause to be delivered the prospectus made available by the Company, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof; or (iii) 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. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Purchasers pursuant to Section 9.
 
5

(b) Each Holder will indemnify the Company and its officers and directors and each person if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any Claims arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company, by or on behalf of such Holder, expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or prospectus (including any modifications, amendments or supplements thereto) provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity by a Holder under this Section 6 exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in connection with the offering effected through such Registration Statement.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such Indemnified Person shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and to the extent that the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person, the representation of the Indemnified Person by counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. In such event, the Company shall pay for only one separate legal counsel for the Holders, and such legal counsel shall be selected by the Holders. The failure to deliver written notice to an indemnifying party within a reasonable time after the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as such expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred and is due and payable.
 
(d) No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Person of an unconditional and irrevocable release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation and no Indemnified Party shall consent to entry of any judgment or settle such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
6

7. Contribution. To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited under applicable law, the indemnifying party agrees, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person to such extent, to contribute to the amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the Indemnified Person on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact on which such Claim is based relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the Indemnified Person, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the payor would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6, (b) no seller of Registrable Securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and (c) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such Registrable Securities. The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders and any other party were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section. No party shall be liable for contribution with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or claim settled without its prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
8. Reports Under Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holders to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”), the Company agrees to
 
(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
 
(ii) use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and
 
(iii) furnish to any Holder so long as any Holder owns Shares or Warrants promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or periodic report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Holders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
 
9. Assignment of the Registration Rights. The rights to have the Company register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be automatically assigned by a Purchaser to any transferee of the Shares or Warrants held by such Purchaser if: (a) such Purchaser agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (b) the Company is, at the time of such transfer within five business days after such transfer or assignment, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee; and (c) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (b) of this sentence, the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein.
 
7

10. Amendment of Registration Rights. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Holders. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon the Company and the Holders.
 
11. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) A person or entity is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such person or entity owns of record such Registrable Securities or Warrants exercisable into such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more persons or entities with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities or Warrants.

Borrower will not permit any tangible Collateral to become part of or to be affixed to any real property without first assuring to the reasonable satisfaction of Collateral Agent that the Security Interest will be prior and senior to any Lien then held or thereafter acquired by any mortgagee of such real property or the owner or purchaser of any interest therein. Borrower does not own any interest in any real property except as previously disclosed in writing to Collateral Agent.

The amount represented by Borrower to Collateral Agent from time to time as owing by each Account debtor or by all Account debtors in respect of the Accounts will at such time be the correct amount actually owing by such Account debtor or debtors thereunder.

Borrower will neither agree to any material modification or amendment nor agree to any forbearance, release or cancellation of any such obligation, and will not subordinate any such right to payment to claims of other creditors of such account debtor or other obligor.

(iv)  Whenever Borrower, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Patent or Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, Borrower shall report such filing to Collateral Agent within five (5) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon request of Collateral Agent, Borrower shall execute and deliver any and all agreements, instruments, documents, and papers as Collateral Agent may request to evidence Collateral Agent's security interest in any Patent or Trademark and the goodwill and general intangibles of Borrower relating thereto or represented thereby, and Borrower hereby constitutes Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed; such power being coupled with an interest is irrevocable until the Obligations are paid in full.
 
(v)  Borrower will take all reasonable and necessary steps, including, without limitation, in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any similar office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain and pursue each application (and to obtain the relevant registration) and to maintain each registration of the Patents and Trademarks, including, without limitation, filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use and affidavits of incontestability.

11

(x)  Commercial Tort Claims. If Borrower shall at any time hold or acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall immediately notify Collateral Agent in writing signed by Borrower of the details thereof and grant to Collateral Agent in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Collateral Agent.
 
(y)  Collateral Agent’s Right to Take Action. Borrower authorizes Collateral Agent to file such financing statements and continuation statements without the signature of Borrower as Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary to perfect (or continue the perfection of) the Security Interest in the Collateral. Borrower hereby ratifies its authorization for Collateral Agent to have filed any financing or continuation statements or amendments thereto if such have been filed prior to the date hereof. Further, if Borrower at any time fails to perform or observe any agreement contained in Section 3(f), and if such failure continues for a period of ten (10) Business Days after Collateral Agent gives Borrower written notice thereof, Collateral Agent may (but need not) perform or observe such agreement on behalf and in the name, place and stead of Borrower (or, at Collateral Agent’s option, in Collateral Agent’s own name) and may (but need not) take any and all other actions which Collateral Agent may reasonably deem necessary to cure or correct such failure (including, without limitation the payment of taxes, the satisfaction of security interests, liens, or encumbrances, the performance of obligations under contracts or agreements with account debtors or other obligors, the procurement and maintenance of insurance, the execution of financing statements, the endorsement of instruments, and the procurement of repairs or transportation); and, except to the extent that the effect of such payment would be to render any loan or forbearance of money usurious or otherwise illegal under any applicable law, Borrower shall thereupon pay Collateral Agent on demand the amount of all moneys expended and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Collateral Agent in connection with or as a result of Collateral Agent’s performing or observing such agreements or taking such actions, together with interest thereon from the date expended or incurred by Collateral Agent at the highest rate then applicable to any of the Obligations.
 
(z)  Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints (which appointment is coupled with an interest) Collateral Agent, or its delegate, as the attorney-in-fact of Borrower with the right (but not the duty) from time to time, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) create, prepare, complete, execute, deliver, endorse or file, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, any and all instruments, documents, financing statements, applications for insurance and other agreements and writings required to be obtained, executed, delivered or endorsed by Borrower under this Section 3; (b) to convert the Collateral into cash, including, without limitation, the sale (either public or private) of all or any portion or portions of the Collateral; (c) to enforce collection of the Collateral, either in its own name or in the name of Borrower, including, without limitation, executing releases, compromising or settling with any Account debtors and prosecuting, defending, compromising or releasing any action relating to the Collateral; (d) to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Borrower and to take therefrom any remittances or proceeds of Collateral in which Collateral Agent has a security interest; (e) to notify post office authorities to change the address for delivery of mail addressed to Borrower to such address as Collateral Agent shall designate; (f) to endorse the name of Borrower in favor of Collateral Agent upon any and all checks, drafts, money orders, notes, acceptances or other instruments of the same or different nature; (g) to sign and endorse the name of Borrower on and to receive as secured party any of the Collateral, any invoices, schedules of Collateral, freight or express receipts, or bills of lading, storage receipts, warehouse receipts, or other documents of title of the same or different nature relating to the Collateral; (h) to sign the name of Borrower on any notice to the Account debtors or on verification of the Collateral; and (i) to sign and file or record on behalf of Borrower any financing or other statement in order to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s security interest. Collateral Agent shall not be obliged to do any of the acts or exercise any of the powers hereinabove authorized, but if Collateral Agent elects to do any such act or exercise any such power, it shall not be accountable for more than it actually receives as a result of such exercise of power, and it shall not be responsible to Borrower except for willful misconduct in bad faith. All powers conferred upon Collateral Agent by this Agreement, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable so long as any Obligation of Borrower to Collateral Agent shall remain unpaid.

4.  Assignment of Insurance. Borrower hereby assigns to Collateral Agent, as additional security for the payment of the Obligations, any and all moneys (including but not limited to proceeds of insurance and refunds of unearned premiums) due or to become due under, and all other rights of Borrower under or with respect to, any and all policies of insurance covering the Collateral, and Borrower hereby directs the issuer of any such policy to pay any such moneys directly to Collateral Agent, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may (but need not), in its own name or in Borrower’s name, execute and deliver proofs of claim, receive all such moneys, endorse checks and other instruments representing payment of such moneys, and adjust, litigate, compromise or release any claim against the issuer of any such policy.
 
5.  Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an event of default under this Agreement (herein called “Event of Default”): (i) an Event of Default shall occur under (and as defined in) the Notes; or (ii) the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any material covenant or material agreement herein binding on it and such failure is not cured within ten calendar days after notice thereof is given to the Borrower.
 
6.  Remedies upon Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may exercise any one or more of the following rights and remedies: (i) declare all unmatured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon be immediately due and payable, without presentment or other notice or demand; (ii) exercise and enforce any or all rights and remedies available upon default to a secured party under the UCC, including but not limited to the right to take possession of any Collateral, proceeding without judicial process or by judicial process (without a prior hearing or notice thereof, which Borrower hereby expressly waives), and the right to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Collateral, and in connection therewith, Collateral Agent may require Borrower to make the Collateral available to Collateral Agent at a place to be designated by Collateral Agent which is reasonably convenient to both parties, and if notice to Borrower of any intended disposition of Collateral or any other intended action is required by law in a particular instance, such notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable if given (in the manner specified in Section 10 at least ten (10) days prior to the date of intended disposition or other action; and (iii) exercise or enforce any or all other rights or remedies available to Collateral Agent by law or agreement against the Collateral, against Borrower or against any other Person or property. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a nonexclusive, worldwide and royalty-free license to use or otherwise exploit all intellectual property owned by or licensed to Borrower that Collateral Agent deems necessary or appropriate to the disposition of any Collateral.
 
13

7.  Other Personal Property. Unless, at the time Collateral Agent takes possession of any tangible Collateral, or within seven (7) days thereafter, Borrower gives written notice to Collateral Agent of the existence of any goods, papers or other property of Borrower, not affixed to or constituting apart of such Collateral, but which are located or found upon or within such Collateral, describing such property, Collateral Agent shall not be responsible or liable to Borrower for any action taken or omitted by or on behalf of Collateral Agent with respect to such property.
 
8.  Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of Borrower hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Note, any agreement with respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (ii) any change in time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement or instrument, (iii) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to (other than the defense of indefeasible payment), or a discharge of, Borrower in respect of the Obligations or in respect of this Agreement.
 
9.  Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement. Upon the indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Agreement, the Security Interest granted in this Agreement shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Borrower. Upon any such termination, Collateral Agent shall (i) return to Borrower such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver to Borrower such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

14

All rights of Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the terms of that certain Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement dated as of June 23, 2006 among Wells Fargo Retail Financing, Collateral Agent, Lenders and the other parties thereto (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “WFRF Intercreditor Agreement”) and any Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement entered into with any subsequent Senior Lender (as such term is defined in the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary that may be set forth in this Agreement, the obligations of Borrower under Sections 3q(vi), 3(r), 3(s), 3(t), 3(u) and 3(v) of this Agreement shall only be in effect following the termination or expiration of the WFRF Intercreditor Agreement and any Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement entered into with any subsequent Senior Lender.
 
12.  Miscellaneous. This Agreement does not contemplate a sale of accounts, or chattel paper. This Agreement can be waived, modified, amended, terminated or discharged, and the Security Interest can be released, only explicitly in a writing signed by Collateral Agent, and, in the case of amendment or modification, in a writing signed by both parties. A waiver signed by Collateral Agent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Mere delay or failure to act shall not preclude the exercise or enforcement of any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies. All rights and remedies of Collateral Agent shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently, at Collateral Agent’s option, and the exercise or enforcement of any one such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor bar the exercise or enforcement of any other. Collateral Agent’s duty of care with respect to Collateral in its possession (as imposed by law) shall be deemed fulfilled if Collateral Agent exercises reasonable care in physically safekeeping such Collateral or, in the case of Collateral in the custody or possession of a bailee or other third Person, exercises reasonable care in the selection of the bailee or other third Person, and Collateral Agent need not otherwise preserve, protect, insure or care for any Collateral. Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to preserve any rights Borrower may have against prior parties, to realize on the Collateral at all or in any particular manner or order, or to apply any cash proceeds of Collateral in any particular order of application. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns and shall take effect when signed by Borrower and delivered to Collateral Agent, and Borrower waives notice of Collateral Agent’s acceptance hereof. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement signed by Borrower shall have the same force and effect as the original for all purposes of a financing statement. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws (other than conflict laws) of the State of New York, except to the extent that the validity or perfection of the Security Interest hereunder, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of New York. If any provision or application of this Agreement is held unlawful or unenforceable in any respect, such illegality or unenforceability shall not affect other provisions or applications which can be given effect and this Agreement shall be construed as if the unlawful or unenforceable provision or application had never been contained herein or prescribed hereby. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the creation and payment of the Obligations. Borrower hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York City and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York with respect to all suits and actions arising under or out of this Agreement and hereby waives any objection to the venue of any such court with respect to any such suit or action and any claim that any such suit or action brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
 
 
THE PARTIES WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED ON OR PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

DRUGMAX, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower”), for value received, hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the order of _______________________., a Delaware limited partnership (“Lender”), the principal sum of __________________________, together with interest thereon, on the terms set forth below.
 
1. Payments. Borrower shall pay the principal sum hereof in quarterly installments of _________ each on the first day of each September, December, March and June, commencing September 1, 2006. The final installment of principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be due and payable on June 23, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), subject to earlier prepayment as set forth below.
 
2. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance at a per annum rate equal to:
 
2.5% during the period from the date of this Note through June 23, 2007 (the “First Year”);
 
5.0% during the period from June 23, 2007 through June 23, 2008 (the “Second Year”);
 
10.0% during the period from June 23, 2008 through June 23, 2009;
 
15.0% during the period from June 23, 2009 through June 23, 2010; and
 
17.5% during the period from June 23, 2010 through the Maturity Date.
 
Interest shall be calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed and a 365-day year, and shall be due and payable on the first day of each September, December, March, and June, commencing September 1, 2006, and on the Maturity Date.
 
3. Payments Generally. All payments received hereunder shall be applied first to the payment of interest then accrued and unpaid, and the balance, if any, shall be applied on account of principal. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 4 of this Note, all payments made pursuant to this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds to Lender at its office at 780 Third Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, New York 10017, or at such other address as the holder hereof shall have designated by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of interest accrued. “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in the State of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to close.
 
 
 

 
 
4. Interest Payments in Stock. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in lieu of making any interest payments in cash during the First Year and/or Second Year, Borrower may, upon written notice given to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date the relevant interest payment is due, issue and deliver to Lender on such interest payment date a number of registered and freely tradable shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Borrower (“Common Stock”) equal to the quotient of (a) the dollar amount of such interest payment then due, divided by (b) the Adjusted Share Price. “Adjusted Share Price” means, with respect to the date in the First Year or Second Year on which such interest payment is due, an amount equal to ninety percent (90%) of the lesser of (x) the average of the daily market prices for the Common Stock for the 30 consecutive trading days immediately before such date and (y) the daily market price for the Common Stock for the date immediately preceding such date. The “daily market price” for each such trading day means (i) the closing bid price on such day on the principal stock exchange (including Nasdaq) on which such Common Stock is then listed or admitted to trading, or quoted, as applicable, (ii) if no sale takes place on such day on any such exchange, the last reported closing bid price on such day as officially quoted on any such exchange (including Nasdaq), (iii) if the Common Stock is not then listed or admitted to trading on any stock exchange, the last reported closing bid price on such day in the over-the-counter market, as furnished by the National Association of Securities Dealers Automatic Quotation System or the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may Lender make any interest payment hereunder in shares of Common Stock after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below) or if the daily market price for the Common Stock can not be determined as described above.
 
5. Prepayments. The principal balance and all accrued interest under this Note may be prepaid by Borrower, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty. In addition, upon the exercise by Lender of any Common Stock Purchase Warrant, dated the date hereof, issued by Borrower to Lender (each, a “Warrant”), Borrower shall, simultaneously with its receipt of any cash exercise price from Lender with respect to a Warrant, prepay the principal and interest amounts then remaining due hereunder in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) fifty percent (50%) of the cash proceeds paid by Lender to Borrower in connection with such exercise and (b) the aggregate principal and interest amounts then remaining due hereunder.
 
6. Security Agreement. This Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P., Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited and Borrower (the “Purchase Agreement”). Payment (including accelerated payment as provided for below), of all amounts, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, payable under this Note is secured by the assets of Borrower in accordance with and pursuant to the provisions of the Security Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, entered into by Borrower in favor of Lender, as agent (the “Security Agreement”).
 
 
 

 
 
7. Events of Default. The entire outstanding principal balance and all interest accrued thereon shall immediately become due and payable, without demand or notice, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Default”):
