The Supply and License Agreement was subject to early termination by Mayne International (the “Termination Right”) if certain conditions, including funding and other agreement conditions, were not undertaken (the “Conditions”). On June 24, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Issuer and Mayne Pharma Ventures Pty Ltd, an Australian company ACN 168 896 357 (“Mayne Ventures”) as successor-in-interest to Mayne International, along with Nicholas J.

In connection therewith, the Issuer and Mayne Ventures entered into an Amended and Restated Supply and License Agreement principally to eliminate the Conditions and related early termination rights of Mayne Ventures. On the Effective Date, in fulfillment of one of the Conditions, and in partial consideration for Mayne Ventures not exercising the Termination Right, the Issuer and Mayne Ventures entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Mayne Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Mayne Purchase Agreement, the Issuer (i) issued 258,363.280 shares of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Mayne Series A Shares”), and (ii) issued, upon and in connection with the closing of a separate Stock Purchase Agreement by and between the Issuer and HPLLC, a warrant (the “Mayne Make-Up Warrant”) to purchase 10,250,569 shares of the Issuer’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”). The Mayne Series A Shares will convert into 87,843,897 shares of Common Stock in August 2014 pursuant to the terms of the Equity Holders Agreement by and among the Issuer, Mayne Ventures, HPLLC, Virca, and O’Donnell, and in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

Background and Introduction
On September 3, 2013, the Issuer (as defined in Item 1) and Mayne International (as defined in Item 2) entered into a Supply and License Agreement (as amended December 17, 2013 and March 6, 2014, the “Supply and License Agreement”) pursuant to which Mayne International agreed to: (i) supply the Issuer with its patented formulation of the drug itraconazole, known as SUBATM-Itraconazole, in a particular dose formulation (the “Product”) for the treatment of human patients with cancer via oral administration (the “Field”) (with the initial areas of investigation being prostate, lung and skin cancer) in the United States (the “Territory”), (ii) provide the Issuer with an exclusive license to use and develop the intellectual property related to the Product in the Field and in the Territory and (iii) participate in a joint development committee with the Issuer to clinically develop the Product in the Field and in the Territory. The Supply and License Agreement was subject to early termination by Mayne International (the “Termination Right”) if certain conditions, including funding and other agreement conditions, were not undertaken (the “Conditions”).
On June 24, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Issuer and Mayne Ventures (as defined in Item 2), as successor-in-interest to Mayne International, along with Nicholas J. Virca, the Issuer’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“Virca”), Frank O’Donnell, Jr., M.D. (“O’Donnell”), and Hedgepath, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and the majority stockholder of the Issuer (“HPLLC”), consummated a series of related transactions to fulfill the Conditions in a manner mutually acceptable to the Issuer and Mayne Ventures. In connection therewith, the Issuer and Mayne Ventures entered into an Amended and Restated Supply and License Agreement (the “Amended Supply and License Agreement”) principally to eliminate the Conditions and related early termination rights of Mayne Ventures.
Securities Purchase Agreement
On the Effective Date, in fulfillment of one of the Conditions, and in partial consideration for Mayne Ventures not exercising the Termination Right, the Issuer and Mayne Ventures entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Mayne Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Mayne Purchase Agreement, the Issuer (i) issued 258,363.280 shares (the “Mayne Series A Shares”) of the Issuer’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (ii) issued, upon and in connection with the closing of a separate Stock Purchase Agreement (the “HPLLC Purchase Agreement”) by and between the Issuer and HPLLC, a warrant (the “Mayne Make-Up Warrant”) to purchase 10,250,569 shares of the Common Stock (as defined in Item 1). The Mayne Series A Shares will convert into 87,843,897 shares of Common Stock in August 2014 pursuant to the terms of the Equity Holders Agreement (as defined and described further below) and in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. The Mayne Make-Up Warrant has an exercise price of $0.0878 per share and may be exercised at any time, from time to time, by Mayne Ventures prior to its expiration on June 24, 2019. As a result of the Mayne Purchase Agreement and the Mayne Make-Up Warrant, Mayne Ventures owns approximately 44.3% of the equity securities of the Issuer on a fully diluted basis.
The Mayne Purchase Agreement is attached to the June 8-K as Exhibit 10.1.

Stock Purchase Agreement with HPLLC
On the Effective Date, as a condition to the Mayne Purchase Agreement, the Issuer and HPLLC entered into the HPLLC Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the HPLLC Purchase Agreement, HPLLC purchased 20,000,000 shares (the “HPLLC Shares”) of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.075 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $1,500,000 (the “HPLLC Purchase Price”). The HPLLC Purchase Price is payable, in part, by monthly installments through December 31, 2014 pursuant to a promissory note (the “HPLLC Note”) issued by HPLLC to the Issuer on the Effective Date. Pursuant to the HPLLC Note, commencing on June 30, 2014 and ending on December 31, 2014, HPLLC must make monthly payments to the Issuer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the HPLLC Note. In the event that HPLLC defaults on part or all of the HPLLC Note, the Issuer has the right to declare by written notice that HPLLC forfeit some or all of the HPLLC Shares as well as 17,646.98 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock equivalent upon conversion thereof) held by HPLLC as described further below.
The HPLLC Purchase Agreement is attached to the June 8-K as Exhibit 10.2. All descriptions of the HPLLC Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety to the text of Exhibit 10.2 attached to the June 8-K, which is incorporated herein by reference. The HPLLC Note is attached to the June 8-K as Exhibit 10.3.

|
|
●
|
Mayne Ventures and its affiliates (the “Mayne Pharma Group”) have been granted a right of first refusal to purchase a pro rata share of any new securities issued by the Issuer, such pro rata share to be determined based upon the number of shares of Common Stock held by Mayne Pharma Group on a fully diluted basis as compared to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the offering of the new securities on a fully diluted basis;
|
|
●
|
Mayne Ventures has been granted the right until June 24, 2016 to introduce accredited investors to the Issuer to participate in a private offering of the Issuer’s securities (with some exceptions as described in the Equity Holders Agreement). In the event that the Issuer contemplates a private offering of its securities, such accredited investors introduced by Mayne Ventures will have the right to participate in up to 50% of the private offering;
|
|
●
|
The Issuer agrees not to amend its equity incentive plan (“EIP”) in any way during the Lock-Up Period without the written consent of Mayne Ventures;

Mayne Ventures has the right to immediately designate one director to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and to designate a second director if the size of the Board is increased to seven directors until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that the Amended and Restated Supply and License Agreement is terminated or expires, or (ii) the date on which the Mayne Pharma Group ceases to own ten percent (10%) or more of the issued and outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (the “Voting Rights Termination Date”);
|
|
●
|
The Equity Holder Parties agree that, for as long as Mayne Ventures has the right to designate a director to the Board, all of the Equity Holder Parties will vote their shares in favor of appointing the Mayne Ventures candidate to the Board;
|
|
●
|
The Equity Holder Parties agree not to increase or decrease the size of the Board except with the unanimous consent of the Board until the Voting Rights Termination Date;
|
|
●
|
Until the Voting Rights Termination Date, the Equity Holder Parties agree that any replacement or removal of Virca requires the unanimous approval of the Board;
|
|

In addition to the foregoing, the Equity Holder Parties also agreed that the Issuer would seek to meet certain goals for the commercialization of the Product (the “Commercialization Goals”) and certain funding goals for the Issuer (the “Funding Goals”). In the event that the Issuer fails to achieve the Commercialization Goals or the Funding Goals, Mayne Ventures has the right to demand the resignation of O’Donnell and/or Virca from their positions with the Issuer. In the event that O’Donnell or Virca do not submit their resignations in a timely manner, Mayne Ventures can terminate the Amended and Restated Supply and License Agreement. Additionally, if the Commercialization Goals are not achieved, the Issuer has the right to declare that HPLLC forfeit 17,646.98 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or the Common Stock equivalent upon conversion thereof).
If O’Donnell or Virca are required to resign pursuant to the Equity Holders Agreement, then, among other things, O’Donnell or Virca, as the case may be, will forfeit all then unvested options, warrants, restricted stock units, or other right to acquire Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock). Furthermore, upon such resignation or termination, Mayne Ventures will have the right to purchase by written notice to O’Donnell or Virca, as the case may be, all Issuer securities owned by O’Donnell or Virca, including vested options, vested warrants, vested restricted stock units and the like individually held by O’Donnell and/or Virca or otherwise transferred by either of them, as the case may be, at the fair market value (as such term is defined in the Equity Holders Agreement) as of the date of such resignation or termination.
The Equity Holders Agreement terminates (i) if the Issuer receives an adjudication of bankruptcy, the Issuer executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, a receiver is appointed for the Issuer or the Issuer is voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved or (ii) if the Issuer, HPLLC and Mayne Ventures expressly agree in writing. Additionally, certain limited provisions of the Equity Holders Agreement terminate at such time as the Mayne Pharma Group collectively owns less than ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock on a fully diluted basis.
