LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (the "Agreement"), dated as of November 20, 2002 between
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation and ▇▇▇▇
DERMATOLOGICS, INC. (individually and collectively "Borrower"), and WACHOVIA
BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association ("Bank");
W I T N E S S E T H :
In consideration of the premises and of the mutual covenants herein
contained and to induce Bank to extend credit to Borrower, the parties agree as
follows:
1. Definitions. Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein
-----------
shall have the meanings set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.
2. The Revolving Loan.
------------------
2.1. Revolving Loan. Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set
--------------
forth in this Agreement, to make Advances and to issue letters of credit on
behalf of Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Loan Period in
amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Advances and the face
amount of any letters of credit at any one time outstanding will not exceed the
lesser of (i) the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and (ii) the Borrowing Base
under the Revolving Loan (the "Revolving Loan"). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the aggregate amount of the Advances by Bank from time to time shall be subject
to any reserves that Bank in its sole and absolute discretion may deem proper
and/or necessary. Within the foregoing limit, Borrower may borrow, prepay and
reborrow Advances under the Revolving Loan at any time during the Revolving
Loan Period.
2.2. Revolving Note. The Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by a
--------------
promissory note in the face amount of the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount dated
November 20, 2002 (the "Revolving Note") and shall be payable in accordance
with the terms of the Revolving Note and this Agreement.
2.3. Collections Account.
-------------------
(a) All payments on Accounts and other Collateral shall be forwarded
by Borrower to the Collections Account; provided, however, Bank, in its sole
discretion, may require Borrower to establish a lockbox under the control of
Bank to which all Account Debtors shall forward payments on the Accounts.
Borrower shall pay all of Bank's standard fees and charges in connection with
such lockbox arrangement (if any) and Collections Account as such fees and
charges may change from time to time. In the event Bank requires a lockbox
arrangement hereunder, Borrower shall notify Account Debtors on the Accounts
to forward payments on the Accounts to the lockbox; provided, however, that Bank
shall have the right to directly contact Account Debtors at any time to ensure
that payments on the Accounts are directed to the lockbox. All payment items
received by Borrower on Accounts and sale of Inventory and other Collateral
shall be held by Borrower in trust for Bank and not commingled with Borrower's
funds and shall be deposited promptly by Borrower to the Collections Account.
All such items shall be the exclusive property of Bank upon the earlier of
the receipt thereof by Bank or by Borrower. Borrower hereby grants to Bank
a security interest in and lien upon all items and balances held in the lockbox
and the Collections Account as collateral for the Indebtedness.
(b) Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Bank (and any duly authorized
Person designated by Bank) as Borrower's attorney-in-fact to endorse Borrower's
name on any checks, drafts, money orders or other media of payment which come
into Bank's possession or control; this power being coupled with an interest
is irrevocable so long as any of the Indebtedness remain outstanding. Such
endorsement by Bank under power of attorney shall, for all purposes, be deemed
to have been made by Borrower (prior to any subsequent endorsement by Bank)
in negotiation of the item.
(c) For the purpose of calculating interest due under this Agreement,
payment items shall be deemed applied by Bank on account of the Revolving Loan
as collected by Bank, subject to chargebacks for uncollected payment items.
No payment item received by Bank shall constitute payment to Bank until such
item is actually collected by Bank and credited to the Collections Account;
provided, however, Bank shall have the right to charge back to the Collections
Account (or any other account of Borrower maintained at Bank) any item which is
returned for inability to collect, plus accrued interest during the period of
Bank's provisional credit for such item prior to receiving notice of dishonor.
2.4. Cash Management Services. If Borrower subscribes to Bank's cash
------------------------
management services and such services are applicable to the Revolving Loan, the
terms of such services, as set forth in the Services Agreement, shall control
the manner in which funds are transferred between the Demand Deposit Account
and the Revolving Loan for credit or debit to the Revolving Loan.
2.5. Advances.
--------
(a) Bank, in its discretion, may accept from Borrower a signed written
request for an Advance under the Revolving Loan in form satisfactory to Bank,
which request shall be delivered to Bank no later than 2:00 P.M. (local time
in New York, New York) on the date of the requested Advance, and shall set
forth the calculation of the Borrowing Base and a reconciliation to the previous
request or Borrowing Base Certificate, specify the date (which shall be a
Business Day) and the amount of the proposed Advance and provide such other
information as Bank may reasonably require. Bank's acceptance of such a
request shall be indicated by its making the Advance requested. Such an Advance
shall be made available to Borrower in immediately available funds at Bank's
address referred to in Section 10.4.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, make or permit to remain outstanding Advances under the Revolving
Loan in excess of the original principal amount of the Revolving Note, and all
such amounts shall (i) be part of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Revolving
Note, (ii) bear interest as provided herein, (iii) be payable upon demand by
Bank, and (iv) be entitled to all rights and security as provided under the Loan
Documents.
(c) The Bank is hereby authorized and shall be deemed to have made
Advances hereunder to the extent that it has indemnified Borrower's prior lender
pursuant to a separate indemnification letter in favor of said lender executed
separate from this Agreement.
2.6. Repayment of Revolving Loan.
---------------------------
(a) Interest on the Revolving Loan shall accrue and be payable as set
forth in the Revolving Note. The Revolving Loan shall mature, and the principal
amount thereof and all accrued and unpaid interest, fees, expenses and other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable, on the
Termination Date.
(b) With respect to payments on the Revolving Loan, Bank may debit the
Demand Deposit Account and/or the Collections Account and/or make Advances to
Borrower under the Revolving Loan (whether or not in excess of the lesser of
the Maximum Revolving Loan Amount and the Borrowing Base) and apply such
amounts to the payment of interest, fees, expenses and other amounts to which
Bank may be entitled from time to time and Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized
to do so without the consent of Borrower.
(c) Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on
the Revolving Loan and fees hereunder not later than 2:00 p.m. (local time
New York, New York) on the date when due, without set off, counterclaim or
other deduction, in immediately available funds to Bank at its address
referred to in Section 10.4. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest
on, the Revolving Loan or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation
of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.
(d) To the extent that the aggregate amount of all Advances and the
face amount of all outstanding letters of credit under the Revolving Loan
exceeds the Borrowing Base, the amount of such excess will be paid immediately
to Bank upon Bank's demand.
2.7. Overdue Amounts. Any payments with respect to the Revolving Loan
---------------
not made as and when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at
the Default Rate, in Bank's discretion.

-----------------------
or hereunder shall be calculated on the basis of the Actual/360 Computation, as
defined in the Revolving Note.

---------
any sales or other similar tax and, to the extent Borrower fails to pay the
same, Bank may, but shall not be obligated to, remit any such taxes directly
to the taxing authority and make Advances or charge the Demand Deposit
Account therefor. In no event shall Bank be liable for any such taxes.
2.10. Letters of Credit
-----------------
(a) At its discretion Bank may from time to time issue, extend or renew
letters of credit for the account of Borrower. The availability of Advances
under the Revolving Loan shall be reduced by outstanding obligations of Bank
under any letters of credit. All payments made by Bank under any such letters
of credit and all fees, commissions, discounts and other amounts owed or to be
owed to Bank in connection therewith, shall be deemed to be Advances under the
Revolving Note, shall be secured by the Collateral, and shall be repaid on
demand. Borrower shall complete and sign such applications and supplemental
agreements and provide such other documentation as Bank may require. The
form and substance of all letters of credit, including expiration dates, shall
be subject to Bank's approval. Bank may charge a fee or commission for
issuance, renewal or extension of a letter of credit. Upon a Default,
Borrower shall, on demand, deliver to Bank good funds equal to 105% of Bank's
maximum liability under all outstanding letters of credit to be held as cash
Collateral for Borrower's reimbursement obligations and other Indebtedness.

Uniform Customs of Practice for Documentary Credit (1993 Rev.), International

of the Advances under the Revolving Loan on such day, payable quarterly on the
first day of each calendar quarter with respect to the immediately preceding
quarter.

--------------------

immediately due and payable (if not earlier demanded), terminate its obligation
to make Advances to Borrower, bring suit against Borrower to collect the
Indebtedness, exercise any remedy available to Bank hereunder or at law and take

Loan Document, Bank shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under
the Code (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction)
and such other rights and remedies as may be available hereunder, under other
applicable law or pursuant to contract. If requested by Bank, Borrower will
promptly assemble the Collateral and make it available to Bank at a place to be
designated by Bank. Borrower agrees that any notice by Bank of the sale or
disposition of the Collateral or any other intended action hereunder, whether
required by the Code or otherwise, shall constitute reasonable notice to
Borrower if the notice is mailed to Borrower by regular or certified mail,
postage prepaid, at least five days before the action to be taken. Borrower
shall be liable for any deficiencies in the event the proceeds of the
disposition of the Collateral do not satisfy the Indebtedness in full.

endorse any check or draft or take other action necessary to obtain such funds.
9. Security Agreement.
------------------
9.1. Security Interest.
-----------------
(a) As security for the payment and performance of any and all of the
Indebtedness and the performance of all other obligations and covenants of
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, certain or contingent,
now existing or hereafter arising, which are now, or may at any time or times
hereafter be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower hereby pledges to Bank and
gives Bank a continuing security interest in and general Lien upon and right of
set-off against, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the
Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Borrower.
(b) Except as herein or by applicable law otherwise expressly provided,
Bank shall not be obligated to exercise any degree of care in connection with
any Collateral in its possession, to take any steps necessary to preserve any
rights in any of the Collateral or to preserve any rights therein against
prior parties, and Borrower agrees to take such steps. In any case Bank shall
be deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it shall have taken such steps
for the care and preservation of the Collateral or rights therein as Borrower
may have reasonably requested Bank to take and Bank's omission to take any
action not requested by Borrower shall not be deemed a failure to exercise
reasonable care. No segregation or specific allocation by Bank of specified
items of Collateral against any liability of Borrower shall waive or affect
any security interest in or Lien against other items of Collateral or any of
Bank's options, powers or rights under this Agreement or otherwise arising.

without notice to Borrower, (i) transfer into the name of Bank or the name of
Bank's nominee any of the Collateral, (ii) notify any Account Debtor or other
obligor of any Collateral to make payment thereon direct to Bank of any amounts
due or to become due thereon and (iii) receive and after a Default direct the
disposition of any proceeds of any Collateral.

funds which are either eventually not collected or which must be returned) held
in the Collections Account shall be considered in calculating the Net Cash
Position.
9.3. Power of Attorney. Borrower authorizes Bank at Borrower's expense
-----------------
to file any financing statements relating to the Collateral (without Borrower's
signature thereon) which Bank deems appropriate and Borrower irrevocably
appoints Bank as its attorney-in-fact to execute any such financing statements
and/or control agreements in Borrower's name and to perform all other acts, at
Borrower's expense, which Bank deems appropriate to perfect and to continue
perfection of the security interest of Bank. Borrower hereby appoints Bank as
Borrower's attorney-in-fact to endorse, present and collect on behalf of
Borrower and in Borrower's name any draft, checks or other documents necessary
or desirable to collect any amounts which Borrower may be owed. Bank is hereby
granted a license or other right to use, following and during the continuance
of an Event of Default without charge, Borrower's labels, patents, copyrights,
rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks and
advertising matter, or any Property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the
Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and Borrower's
rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to Bank's
benefit. The proceeds realized from the sale or other disposition of any
Collateral may be applied, after allowing two (2) Business Days for collection,
first to the reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys' fees and expenses
incurred by Bank for collection and for acquisition, completion, protection,
removal, storage, sale and delivering of the Collateral; secondly, to interest
due upon any of the Indebtedness; and thirdly, to the principal amount of the
Indebtedness. If any deficiency shall arise, Borrower and each Guarantor shall
remain jointly and severally liable to Bank therefor. Bank agrees that it shall
not utilize the separate Power of Attorney delivered by Borrower in connection
herewith unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
9.4. Entry. Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to any act by Bank or
-----
its agents in entering upon any premises for the purposes of either (i)
inspecting the Collateral or (ii) taking possession of the Collateral and
Borrower hereby waives its right to assert against Bank or its agents any claim
based upon trespass or any similar cause of action for entering upon any
premises where the Collateral may be located.
9.5. Other Rights. Borrower authorizes Bank without affecting
------------
Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document from time to
time (i) to take from any party and hold additional Collateral or guaranties
for the payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, and to exchange,
enforce or release such collateral or guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness or
any part thereof and to release or substitute any endorser or guarantor or any
party who has given any security interest in any collateral as security for the
payment of the Indebtedness or any part thereof or any party in any way
obligated to pay the Indebtedness or any part thereof; and (ii) upon the
occurrence of any Event of Default to direct the manner of the disposition of
the Collateral and the enforcement of any endorsements, guaranties, letters of
credit or other security relating to the Indebtedness or any part thereof as
Bank in its sole discretion may determine.
9.6. Accounts. Before or after any Event of Default, Bank may notify
--------
any Account Debtor of Bank's security interest and may direct such Account
Debtor to make payment directly to Bank for application against the
Indebtedness. Any such payments received by or on behalf of Borrower at any
time, whether before or after default, shall be the property of Bank, shall be
held in trust for Bank and not commingled with any other assets of any Person
(except to the extent they may be commingled with other assets of Borrower in
an account with Bank) and shall be immediately delivered to Bank in the form
received. Bank shall have the right to apply any proceeds of Collateral to such
of the Indebtedness as it may determine.
9.7. Waiver of Marshaling. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have
--------------------
to require marshaling of its assets.
9.8 Control. Borrower will cooperate with Bank in obtaining control of,
-------
or control agreements with respect to, Collateral for which control or a control
agreement is required for perfection of the Bank's security interest under the
Code.
10. Miscellaneous.
-------------
10.1. No Waiver, Remedies Cumulative. No failure on the part of Bank
------------------------------
to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other
Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative
and are in addition to any other remedies provided by law, any Loan Document or
otherwise.
10.2. Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties
---------------------------
made herein shall survive the making of the Loans hereunder and the delivery of
the Notes, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
Indebtedness is outstanding, there exists any commitment by Bank to Borrower,
and until this Agreement is formally terminated in writing.
10.3. Indemnity By Borrower; Expenses. In addition to all other
-------------------------------
Indebtedness, Borrower agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless

losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, fees, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees,
costs and expenses) incurred by such indemnitees, whether prior to or from and

of the Indebtedness, (ii) any suit, investigation, action or proceeding by any
Person (other than Borrower), whether threatened or initiated, asserting a claim
for any legal or equitable remedy against any Person under any statute,
regulation or common law principle, arising from or in connection with Bank's
furnishing of funds to Borrower under this Agreement, (iii) Bank's preservation,
administration and enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents and
applicable law, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for
Bank in connection therewith, whether suit be brought or not and whether
incurred at trial or on appeal, and all costs of repossession, storage,
disposition, protection and collection of Collateral, (iv) periodic field exams,
audits and appraisals performed by Bank provided, so long as no Default has
occurred, Borrower shall not be liable for reimbursement of the costs of more
than one such field examination each year); and/or (v) any matter relating to
the financing transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or by any document
execution in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby, other than

Collateral or Borrower's or Bank's interests therein, Bank may make such
payment and the amount thereof shall be payable on demand, shall bear interest

(a) Bank shall calculate the daily "Net Cash Position" in Borrower's Demand
Deposit Account Number ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "DDA"). The Net Cash Position
is calculated by using the opening balance of available funds in the
DDA, plus (i) any maturing investment principal and interest due from
the "Sweep Investment Account" (described below), and (ii) any deposits
of collected funds posted to the DDA, minus (A) the daily posting of
debits and account holds placed against the DDA by the Bank, (B) any
floor balance which has been established by the Bank to cover returns,
overdrafts, unpaid fees and charges assessed by the Bank and (C) the
outstanding principal balance of the Note, if any.
(b) If the Net Cash Position calculated above is a surplus, or credit
balance, Borrower agrees that Bank is authorized, and requests the Bank
to debit the DDA for the purpose of overnight investment of the surplus
Net Cash Position.
2. The overnight investment of a surplus Net Cash Position will occur if the
investable balance is equal to or greater than the minimum specified by
Bank for the instrument chosen by Borrower. Bank will deposit to the
"Sweep Investment Account" the maturing principal plus interest each banking
day so that the sum may be included in the current day's investment amount.
Bank will determine the interest rate to be paid on a daily basis, in
accordance with the applicable investment tier and investment instrument.
Bank may periodically change the rate differentials between the tiers and the
size and the number of tiers. Bank reserves the right to change the
investment instruments and associated minimum investment requirements.
Investment amounts will be rounded downward to the nearest $1,000 for
investment purposes.
3. In the event the Net Cash Position calculated above is a deficit, Bank will
advance funds, if available, in accordance with a designated line of credit
which Bank has established with Borrower for daily working capital purposes.
Advances under this line of credit are hereby authorized to be made
automatically by Bank on a daily basis, with loan principal to be repaid as
collected funds create a surplus Net Cash Position. Loan Interest will be
charged to the DDA via ACH debit originated by the Bank on a monthly basis,
unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. No loan advances shall
be made in an amount less than $1,000, and each loan advance shall be made in
increments of $1,000 each. No loan advances shall be made if this Agreement
or the Note is in default or has been terminated.
4. Bank will notify Borrower as soon as is practicable if the amount required
to fund the DDA exceeds the available account balance plus invested funds
plus available funds in the line of credit. Unless collected funds to
cover this deficiency are received by 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time the next Bank
business day, Bank, at its discretion, may either return all items received
from the time of deficiency or extend the overdraft. The return of checks
by Bank constitutes termination of this Service, and all items subsequently
presented may, at Bank's sole discretion, be returned. Borrower warrants
that individuals who are authorized to sign Borrower's checks are also
authorized to create overdrafts, should Bank exercise its discretion by
allowing such overdrafts. Overdraft charges will be billed on a monthly
basis in accordance with Bank's regular fee schedule.
5. Borrower may provide Bank with additional instructions from time to time
regarding the operation of the Services, including the choice of investments,
enumeration of accounts, disposition of date and other matters involving
the Services. All of the provisions of the Bank's deposit Agreement and
Disclosures for Non-Personal Accounts are incorporated herein by reference as
fully as if set forth verbatim.
