Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

Exclusive Sales and Distribution Agreement between the Company and Quinnova Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
On February 14, 2011, we entered into an Exclusive Sales and Distribution Agreement with Quinnova Pharmaceuticals, Inc., pursuant to which we granted Quinnova the right to act as our exclusive sales, marketing, and distribution agent in the United States, its territories and possessions, and Canada for certain of our liquid and gel products in the prescription dermatology market. Under the Agreement, Quinnova will make a payment of $500,000 as an advance for the first $500,000 worth of our products to be purchased by Quinnova.
 
Under the Agreement, we will manufacture our products and samples. Quinnova will be responsible for all sales, marketing and clinical activity associated with the current products and any future products later approved by the FDA. We retained final approval on any and all new promotional materials or portions of materials specific to the products developed by Quinnova.
 
The Agreement is for a term of five years and will automatically renew for successive one-year terms.
 
Exclusive Co-Promotion Agreement between the Company and Quinnova Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

On February 14, 2011, we entered into an Exclusive Co-Promotion Agreement with Quinnova, granting Quinnova the exclusive right to promote certain liquid and gel prescription products designed for chronic wound care under our trademark in the field of podiatry in U.S. and Canada. We agreed to pay Quinnova a percentage of the collected net sales sold by Quinnova.
 


The Agreement is for a term of five years and will automatically renew for successive one-year terms.
 
Product Option Agreement between the Company and AmDerma Pharmaceuticals, LLC

On February 14, 2011, we entered into a Product Option Agreement with an Amneal affiliate, AmDerma Pharmaceuticals, LLC. We plan to use our proprietary Microcyn technology to develop a prescription pharmaceutical product for the treatment of acne (the “Future Acne Product”). Pursuant to the Agreement, we sold the option to exclusively sell and distribute the Future Acne Product to AmDerma for a one-time non-refundable payment of $500,000. Upon execution of a separate license and supply agreement for the Future Acne Product, the option payment of $500,000 will be credited against the upfront payment expected in the transaction.
