NOTE 6 – SECURED PROMISSORY NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

Secured Promissory Notes

On December 11, 2015, we executed two subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the investors named therein (the “Investors”) providing for the purchase of 12% Secured Promissory Notes – Series A (“Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $3.0 million and warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock (the “Warrants”).

Notes in the amount of $1.5 million and 51,000 Warrants, with at an exercise price of $1.35 per share, which was equal to the closing price of our Common Stock on the date of investment, were issued by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Pharmaloz Manufacturing Inc. and Quigley Pharma Inc. (collectively, the “Obligors”), and funded on December 11, 2015. We incurred loan origination costs of $22,000 which were recorded as a reduction of the Notes, and the origination costs were charged to interest expense over the term of the loan. The Warrants had an exercise term equal to three years and were exercisable commencing on the date of issuance. The fair value of the Warrants at the date of grant was $14,000, which is recorded as a reduction of the Notes and was charged to interest expense over the term of the loan (see Note 7).

The Notes bore interest at the rate of 12% per annum, payable semi-annually and the principal was due and payable on June 15, 2017. The Notes could be pre-paid at any time prior to maturity without penalty. The effective interest, inclusive of the Warrants and loan origination costs, was 14.3% per annum. For Fiscal 2017, 2016 and 2015, we charged to other income (expense) $54,000, $187,000 and $11,000, respectively, in connection with the Notes.

On March 29, 2017, in connection with the sale of the Cold-EEZE^® Business, we paid in full the remaining principal and accrued interest due under the Notes, in the total amount of $1.5 million. Of the $1.5 million paid to the Investors, $69,000 was netted against the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants, which were simultaneously exercised by the Investors.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into a security agreement with John E. Ligums, Jr., as collateral agent for the Investors (the “Security Agreement”), to secure the timely payment and performance in full of the Company’s obligations under the Notes. Under the Security Agreement, we granted to the collateral agent, for the benefit of the Investors a lien upon and security interest in the property and assets listed as collateral in the Security Agreement, including without limitation, all of our personal property, inventory, equipment, general intangibles, cash and cash equivalents, and proceeds. In connection with the payoff of the Notes, the Security Agreement was terminated.

At December 31, 2016, the $1.5 million Notes are reported net of $10,000 of the unamortized interest for the loan origination costs and unamortized interest for the Warrants. At December 31, 2016, other current liabilities included $9,000 for accrued interest under the terms of the Notes.

The offers and sales of the Notes and Warrants were made without registration under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of certain states, in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D under the Securities Act and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Godfrey Settlement Agreement

In November 2004 we commenced an action against John C. Godfrey, Nancy Jane Godfrey, and Godfrey Science and Design, Inc. (together the “Godfreys”) for injunctive relief regarding the ownership of the Cold-EEZE^® trademark. The Godfreys subsequently asserted against us counterclaims and sought monetary damages and injunctive and declaratory relief relative to the Cold-EEZE^® trademark and other intellectual property.

On December 20, 2012, we and the Godfreys, including the Estate of Nancy Jane Godfrey, entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release (the “Godfrey Settlement Agreement”), pursuant to which we resolved all disputes, including claims asserted by us and counterclaims asserted against us in the action. Pursuant to the terms of the Godfrey Settlement Agreement, we paid the Godfreys $2.1 million in December 2012 and we paid four additional annual payments of $100,000 due each December of Fiscal 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. Each annual payment in the amount of $100,000 accrued interest at the per annum rate of 3.25%. The annual installment of $103,000 and $107,000, inclusive of accrued interest, were paid in Fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Fiscal 2016 installment was the final required payment under the Godfrey Settlement Agreement. Under the Godfrey Settlement Agreement, the Godfreys assigned, transferred and conveyed to us all of their right, title, and interest in U.S. Trademark Registration No. 1,838,542 for the trademark Cold-EEZE^®, among other intellectual property associated with such trademark, which as discussed in Note 4 and Note 10 was sold to Mylan in 2017.
