PROMISE TO PAY. Amaxdrug Corporation; Dermagen, Inc.; Biorx Pharmaceuticals,
Inc.; Royal Health Care, Inc.; and Allied Med 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 One Hundred Fifty Thousand & 00/100 Dollars
($I50.000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the
unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance. Interest shall be
calculated from the data of each advance until repayment of each advance.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lender's demand.
If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in one payment of all
outstanding principal plus all accrued unpaid interest on June 9, 2009. In
addition, Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of all accrued unpaid
interest due as of each payment date, beginning August 1, 2008, with all
subsequent interest payments to be due on the same day of each month after that,
Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments will be applied
first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to any late charges; then to any
unpaid collection costs; and then to principal, Borrower will pay Lender at
Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in
writing.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Prime Rate as
published from time to time in the Money Rates table of the West Coast Edition
of The Wall Street Journal (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the
lowest 'rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the index becomes unavailable
during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after
notifying Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon
Borrower's request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each
DAY. Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as
well. The Index currently is 5.000% per annum. The interest rate to be applied
to the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be calculated as described in
the "INTEREST CALCULATION METHOD" paragraph using a rate of 2.500 percentage
points over the Index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rata
limitations described below, resulting in an initial rate of 7.500%. NOTICE:
Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be less than 7.500%
per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
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 of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce
the principal balance due. 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, 14S Xxxxx
Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.
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 a 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.
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

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
