Section 5.10 of the Assignment Agreement, take (and, at Grantee's direction,
shall take) such action as such Grantor may deem necessary or advisable to
enforce collection of the Management Agreement, the Ortec Security Agreement or
the applicable Distribution Agreement or License Agreement. At any time after an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantee shall have the right to

the Receivables.
(c) After delivery to each Grantor by Grantee of a notice that an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) all amounts and proceeds
(including Instruments) received by the Grantors in respect of any Receivables
shall be received in trust for the benefit of Grantee hereunder, shall be

Grantee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements) to be
held as cash collateral and applied as provided by this Security Agreement; and
(ii) subject to Section 5.10 of the Assignment Agreement, neither Grantor shall
adjust, settle, or compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable, or
release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof, or allow any
credit or discount thereon.
(d) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, (A) Grantee may in its own name or in the name of others communicate
with account debtors in order to verify with them to Grantee's reasonable
satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of (h) any Receivables and (B)
Grantee shall have the right, at the Grantors' expense, to make test
verifications of the Receivables in any reasonable manner and through any medium
that it considers advisable, and each Grantor agrees to furnish all such
assistance as Grantee may reasonably require in connection therewith.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.1 shall be
deemed to limit any provision contained in the Consent and Agreement.
Section 4.2. Insurance.
The Grantors will maintain or cause to be maintained at all times
insurance against loss or damage sufficient to cover all the Collateral that are
of an insurable nature to the same extent assets of a similar character are
usually so insured by companies similarly situated and owning like assets, with
insurers believed by the Grantors to be responsible and reputable. If an Event

are received, all such proceeds shall be paid to Grantee for application in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Assignment Agreement and this
Security Agreement.
Section 4.3. Intellectual Property.
The Grantors shall concurrently herewith deliver to Grantee the Patent
Security Agreement and all other documents, instruments and other items as may
be necessary for Grantee to file such agreements with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and any similar domestic or foreign office, department or
agency. If, before the Obligations are paid in full, either Grantor obtains any
new Intellectual Property or rights thereto or becomes entitled to the benefit
of any Intellectual Property not listed on the schedules to each security
agreement, such Grantor shall give to Grantee prompt written notice thereof, and
shall amend the respective security agreement to include any such new
Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall: (a) preserve and maintain all rights
in the Intellectual Property; and (b) upon and after the occurrence of an Event
of Default, use its best efforts to obtain any consents, waivers or agreements
necessary to enable such Grantor to exercise its remedies with respect to the
Intellectual Property. Neither Grantor shall abandon any right to file a patent
or trademark application relating to the Intellectual Property nor shall such
Grantor abandon any pending patent or trademark application or patent, trademark
or copyright (including without limitation any Patents or Patent Licenses)
without the prior written consent of Grantee.
Section 4.4. Transfers and Other Liens.
Each Grantor shall not:
(a) subject to Section 4.7 below and except for the Cambrex Security
Agreement, grant a security interest in the Assigned Interests or the other
Collateral described in this Agreement to any other party without the prior
written consent of Grantee; or
(b) subject to Section 4.7 below, sell, assign (by operation of law or
otherwise), lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of, or grant any Person

expense, such Grantor will promptly execute and deliver and will cause to be
executed and delivered all further
10
instruments, assignments, notices, agreements and documents, including, without
limitation, financing and continuation statements, and will take all further
action and will cause all further action to be taken, that may be reasonably
necessary or desirable, or that Grantee may reasonably request, in order to
create, preserve, perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby and the priority thereof or to enable Grantee to exercise
and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing each Grantor will:
(a) if any Collateral shall be evidenced by a promissory note or other
instrument or negotiable document, deliver and pledge to Grantee hereunder such
promissory note, instrument or negotiable document duly endorsed and accompanied
by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Grantee;
(b) execute and file, record or register such financing or continuation
statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments, assignments or
notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as Grantee may request, in order
to create, preserve, perfect and protect the security interests and other rights
granted or purported to be granted to Grantee;
(c) furnish to Grantee, from time to time, statements and schedules
further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in
connection with the Collateral as Grantee may reasonably request, and all in
reasonable detail and in accordance with the terms of the Assignment Agreement;
and
(d) at Grantee's request, appear in and defend any action or proceeding
that may affect such Grantor's title to or Grantee's security interest in the
Collateral.
With respect to the foregoing and the grant of the security interest hereunder,
each Grantor hereby authorizes Grantee to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relative to all or any part of
the Collateral without the signature of such Grantor where permitted by law. A
carbon, photographic, or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any
financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
Section 4.6. General Covenants.
Without limiting any of the foregoing covenants, each Grantor agrees
(a) not to use or permit any Collateral to be used unlawfully or in material
violation of any provision of the Assignment Agreement, this Security Agreement,
any other Transaction Document or any applicable statute, regulation or
ordinance or any policy of insurance covering the Collateral; and (b) to pay
promptly when due all taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances and Liens now or
hereafter imposed upon or affecting any Collateral.
Section 4.7. Factoring of Revenue Interests.
Should either Grantor propose to enter into a factoring of the accounts
receivable represented by the Revenue Interests, Grantee shall negotiate and
enter into an intercreditor
11
arrangement with any party with which such Grantor enters into a factoring of
such accounts receivable containing terms and provisions mutually satisfactory
to such Grantor, the factor and Grantee and providing for, among other things,
the following:
(a) the factor receiving a security interest in not more than an
undivided 81.5% of the accounts receivable represented by the Revenue Interests;
(b) the maintenance in favor of Grantee of (i) a 100% exclusive
security interest in 18.5% of the accounts receivable represented by the total
Revenue Interests; (ii) a 100% exclusive security interest in the proceeds from
the factoring of the accounts receivable represented by the Revenue Interests;
and (iii) to the extent that any portion of the accounts receivable represented
by the Revenue Interests are not factored, a 100% exclusive security interest in
such unfactored portion of the accounts receivable represented by the Revenue
Interests;
(c) the security interest that is granted to such factoring party in
the accounts receivable represented by the Revenue Interests in accordance with
clause (a) above shall be pari passu to Grantee's security interest granted in
Section 2.1 in the accounts receivable represented by the Revenue Interests; and
(d) all proceeds from the factoring arrangement shall be disbursed
pursuant to instructions from Grantee first to Grantee in respect of all amounts
owing by either Grantor to Grantee and the balance into the Lockbox Account to
be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Lockbox Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.7 shall be
deemed to limit any provision contained in the Consent and Agreement.

(including all obligations of such Grantor pursuant to Section 4.4);
(e) to execute and deliver for and on behalf of each Grantor any and
all instruments, documents, agreements, and other writings necessary or
advisable for the exercise on behalf of such Grantor of any rights, benefits or
options created or existing under or pursuant to the Collateral; and
(f) to execute endorsements, assignments, or other instruments of
conveyance and transfer.
Each Grantor hereby acknowledges, consents and agrees that the power of attorney
granted pursuant to this Section 5.1 is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
Section 5.2. Grantee May Perform.
If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein, Grantee
may itself (but shall not be obliged to) perform, or cause performance of, such
agreement, provided that Grantee shall in any event first have given the
Grantors written notice of its intent to do the same and neither Grantor shall
have, within 30 days of such notice (or such shorter period as Grantee may
reasonably determine is necessary in order to preserve the benefits of this
Security Agreement with respect to any material portion of the Collateral), paid
such claim or obtained to Grantee's satisfaction the release of the claim or
Lien to which such notice relates. Each Grantor agrees to reimburse Grantee upon
demand for any costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, Grantee incurs while acting as such Grantor's attorney-in-fact
hereunder, all of which costs and expenses are included in the Obligations
secured hereby.
Section 5.3. Limitations on Duties of Grantee.
Grantee shall be obligated to perform such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Security Agreement, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Security Agreement against
Grantee. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantee shall
exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this Security Agreement, and
shall not be liable (except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct) with
respect to any
13
action taken by it, or omitted to be taken by it, in accordance with, and
subject to the limitations contained in, the Assignment Agreement.
Section 5.4. Reasonable Care.
It is understood and agreed between the parties hereto that Grantee's
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping, and physical preservation of the
Collateral in its possession should be to deal with it in the same manner as
Grantee deals with similar property for its own account; provided, however, that
Grantee shall not be required to make any presentment, demand, or protest, or
give any notice, and need not take any action to preserve any rights against any
other Person with respect to the Collateral.
ARTICLE VI
REMEDIES
Section 6.1. Certain Remedies.
If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing:
(a) Grantee may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights available to it at law or in equity or otherwise, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC
applies to the affected Collateral) and also may (i) require each Grantor to,
and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will, at its expense and upon request of
Grantee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Grantee
and make it available to Grantee at a place to be designated by Grantee that is
reasonably convenient to both parties, (ii) exercise any and all rights and
remedies of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, (iii)
withdraw all monies, securities and other property in the Pledged Deposit
Accounts for application to the Obligations, (iv) foreclose or otherwise enforce
Grantee's security interest in any manner permitted by law or provided for in
this Security Agreement, (v) without notice except as specified below, sell the
Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale,
at any place or places for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon
such other terms as Grantee may deem commercially reasonable, (vi) recover from
each Grantor all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred or paid by Grantee in exercising any right, power,
privilege or remedy provided by this Security Agreement or by law, (vii) without
notice or demand of legal process, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
each Grantor, enter into property where any Collateral is located and take
possession thereof, and (viii) prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Grantee deems
appropriate; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the
contrary, Grantee may sell or otherwise dispose the Collateral or any portion
thereof in its then condition without any preparation or processing. Each
Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten (10) days' prior notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any
public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall
constitute reasonable notification. Grantee shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having
14
been given. Grantee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without
further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Upon
any sale or other disposition pursuant to this Security Agreement, Grantee shall
have the right to deliver, assign and transfer to a transferee thereof the
Collateral or portion thereof and transfer to a transferee thereof the
Collateral or portion thereof so sold or disposed of. Each transferee at any
such sale or other disposition (including Grantee) shall hold the Collateral
free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or right of
redemption of each Grantor and each Grantor specifically waives (to the extent
permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which it has or
may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter adopted.
(b) All cash proceeds received by Grantee in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral
shall be applied: first, to all costs, fees and expenses incurred by Grantee;
and second, to the Obligations. If any non-cash proceeds are received in
connection with any sale of Collateral, Grantee shall not apply such non-cash
proceeds to the Obligations unless and until such proceeds are converted to
cash; provided, however, that if such non-cash proceeds are not expected on the
date of receipt thereof to be converted to cash within one year after such date,
Grantee shall nonetheless use commercially reasonable efforts to convert such
non-cash proceeds to cash within such one-year period. Any surplus of such cash
or cash proceeds held by Grantee after payment in full of all the Obligations
shall be paid over to the Grantors or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to
receive such surplus.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.1 shall be
deemed to limit any provision contained in the Consent and Agreement.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 7.1. Amendments.
No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Security
Agreement or the Assignment Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any
Grantor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by Grantee, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given.
Section 7.2. Release of Collateral.
If any of the Collateral shall be sold, transferred, or otherwise
disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction not expressly prohibited by the
Assignment Agreement, then Grantee shall, at such Grantor's written request,
promptly execute and deliver to such Grantor (at the sole cost and expense of
such Grantor) such instruments or documents necessary and as Grantor shall
15
reasonably request to release the Liens created hereby on such Collateral,
including any necessary UCC amendment, termination statement or partial
termination statement.
Section 7.3. Notices.
All notices and other communications shall be given as set forth in
Section 8.03 of the Assignment Agreement.
Section 7.4. Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) No failure to exercise and no delay in the exercise, on the part of
Grantee, of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder and no course of
dealing with respect thereto shall impair such right, remedy, power or privilege
or be construed to or operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege.
(b) Each Grantor waives any right to require Grantee to proceed against
any Person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in such
Grantee's power.
(c) The rights, powers and remedies of Grantee under this Security
Agreement shall be in addition to all rights, powers and remedies given to
Grantee by virtue of any statute or rule of law, the Assignment Agreement or any
other agreement, all of which rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative
and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing Grantee's
security interest in the Collateral.
Section 7.5. Successors and Assigns.
The provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, except that neither Grantor may assign or transfer any of its rights or
obligations under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of
Grantee. Grantee may assign this Security Agreement, or any of its rights and
obligations hereunder, at any time to any other person or entity it deems
necessary or desirable without advance notice to Grantors, provided that prior
to or concurrently with such assignment such person or entity agrees in writing
(in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Cambrex) to take subject to
and be bound by the provisions of the Consent and Agreement and provided that
written notice of such assignment is promptly thereafter given to Grantors and
Cambrex.
Section 7.6. Counterparts.
This Security Agreement may be executed in any number of separate
counterparts, each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, and
all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute but one
and the same instrument.
Section 7.7. Severability.
16
The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Security
Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder shall not in any way
affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of
this Security Agreement or any instrument or agreement required hereunder.
Section 7.8. Governing Law and Jurisdiction.
(a) THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES).
(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS SECURITY
AGREEMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
IN XXX XXXXX, XXXXXX XXX XXXX XX XXX XXXX. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
SECURITY AGREEMENT, EACH GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO AND ACCEPTS, FOR
ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS. EACH GRANTOR HEREBY FURTHER
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE
OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT
OF THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT RELATED HERETO.
Section 7.9. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE GRANTORS AND GRANTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE
FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THIS WAIVER
SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS
TO THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT.
