Perhaps you should review the definition of "toxic financing". There is no interest on any loan. There were shares issued by LWLG for cash received from LPF and the transaction was at current fair market value. Control of any future issuances is completely in control of LWLG.

What Is Toxic Debt?
Toxic debt refers to loans and other types of debt that have a low chance of being repaid with interest. Toxic debt is toxic to the person or institution that lent the money and should be receiving the payments with interest. Toxic debt generally exhibits one of the following criteria:

Default rates for the particular type of debt are in the double digits
More debt is accumulated than what can comfortably be paid back by the debtor
The interest rates of the obligation are subject to discretionary changes
Any debt could potentially be considered toxic if it imposes harm onto the financial position of the holder.
