 Principal Amount: $393,920.00  Date of Note: July 30, 2012

 
 
PROMISE TO PAY. Amexdrug Corporation; Allied Med Inc.; Dermagen, Inc.; Royal
Health Care, Inc.; and Biorx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Borrower") Jointly and
severally promise to pay to National Bank of California ("Lender"), or order, in
lawful money of the United States of America, the principal amount of Three
Hundred Ninety-three Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty & 00/100 Dollars
($393,920.00), together with interest on the unpaid principal balance from July
30, 2012, until paid in full.
 
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender's demand.
If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the
following payment schedule, which calculates interest on the unpaid principal
balances as described in the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using the
interest rates described In this paragraph: 3 monthly consecutive interest
payments, beginning August 30, 2012, with interest calculated on the unpaid
principal balances using an interest rate of 4.500%; 59 monthly consecutive
principal and interest payments of $5,487.70 each, beginning November 30, 2012,
with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an interest rate
of 4.500%; and one principal and interest payment of $131,092.89 on October 30,
2017, with interest calculated on the unpaid principal balances using an
interest rate of 4.500%, This estimated final payment is based on the assumption
that all payments will be made exactly as scheduled; the actual final payment
will be for all principal and accrued interest not yet paid, together with any
other unpaid amounts under this Note. Unless otherwise agreed or required by
applicable law, payments will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest;
then to principal; then to any late charges; then to any escrow or reserve
account payments as required under any mortgage, deed of trust, or other
security instrument or security agreement securing this Note; and then to any
unpaid collection costs, Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown
above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
 
INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD. Interest on this Note is computed on a
365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year
of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the
actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. All interest payable
under this Note is computed using this method.
 
PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE. Borrower agrees that all loan fees and
other prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and
will not be subject to refund upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a
result of default), except as otherwise required by law. In any event, even upon
full prepayment of this Note, Borrower understands that Lender is entitled to a
minimum interest charge of $100.00. Other than Borrower's obligation to pay any
minimum interest charge, Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of
the amount owed earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed
to by Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue
to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce
the principal balance due and may result in Borrower's making fewer payments,
Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full", "without
recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and Borrower
will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written
communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other payment
instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full" of the
amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or as full
satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to: National Bank
of California, Attn: Note Department, 12121 Wilshire Boulevard, 14th Floor
Brentwood, CA 90025,
 
LATE CHARGE. If a payment Is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
6.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $25.00,
whichever is greater.
 
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, the interest rate on this Note shall, if
permitted under applicable law, immediately increase by adding an additional
5.000 percentage point margin ("Default Rate Margin"). The Default Rate Margin
shall also apply to each succeeding interest rate change that would have applied
had there been no default. After maturity, or after this Note would have matured
had there been no default, the Default Rate Margin will continue to apply to the
final interest rate described in this Note.
 
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default ("Event of
Default") under this Note: Payment Default. Borrower fails to make any payment
when due under this Note.
 
Other Defaults. Borrower fails to comply with or to perform any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Note or in any of the
related documents or to comply with or to perform any term, obligation, covenant
or condition contained in any other agreement between Lender and Borrower.
 
Default in Favor of Third Parties. Borrower or any Grantor defaults under any
loan, extension of credit, security agreement, purchase or sales agreement, or
any other agreement, in favor of any other creditor or person that may
materially affect any of Borrower's property or Borrower's ability to repay this
Note or perform Borrower's obligations under this Note or any of the related
documents,
 
False Statements. Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to
Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf, or made by Guarantor, or any other
guarantor, endorser, surety, or accommodation party, under this Note or the
related documents in connection with the obtaining of the !oar evidenced by this
Note or any security document directly or indirectly securing repayment of this
Note is false or misleading In any material respect, either now or at the time
made or furnished or becomes false or misleading at any time thereafter.
 
Insolvency. The dissolution or termination of Borrower's existence as a going
business, the insolvency of Borrower, the appointment of a receiver for any part
of Borrower's property, any assignment for the benefit of creditors, any type of
creditor workout, or the commencement of any proceeding under any bankruptcy or
insolvency laws by or against Borrower.
 
Creditor or Forfeiture Proceedings. Commencement of foreclosure or forfeiture
proceedings, whether by judicial proceeding, self-help, repossession or any
other method, by any creditor of Borrower or by any governmental agency against
any collateral securing the loan. This includes a garnishment of any of
Borrower's accounts, including deposit accounts, with Lender. However, this
Event of Default shall not apply if there Is a good faith dispute by Borrower as
to the validity or reasonableness of the claim which Is the basis of the
creditor or forfeiture proceeding and if Borrower gives Lender written notice of
the creditor or forfeiture proceeding and deposits with Lender monies or a
surety bond for the creditor or forfeiture proceeding, in an amount determined
by Lender, in its sole discretion, as being an adequate reserve or bond for the
dispute.
