good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged by the Debtor, the Debtor hereby agrees with the Secured
Party as follows:
SECTION 1. GRANT OF SECURITY. To secure the prompt and complete
payment, observance and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Debtor
hereby collaterally assigns and pledges to the Secured Party, and grants to the
Secured Party a security interest in, the Collateral.

transact business as a foreign corporation in good standing in the States of
the United States and foreign jurisdictions where the character of its Assets
or the nature or conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified or
licensed, except for such

jurisdictions in which the failure to be so qualified or licensed is not
reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse
Effect on the Debtor.
(c) Authorization. The Debtor has the right and power, and has
taken all necessary action to authorize it to execute, deliver and perform this
Agreement in accordance with its terms. This Agreement, the Financing

of that certain Preferred Stock and Warrant Agreement by and among Zynaxis, the
Secured Party, Vaxcel, Inc., and the holders of the outstanding shares of the
Debtor's Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by the Debtor in accordance with its terms,
including the granting of the Security Interest, do not and will not, by the

enforceable against the Debtor and all other Persons, in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, as security for the Guaranteed Obligations. The Debtor
shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all action that may be necessary or
desirable, or that the Secured Party may request, so as at all times to
maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Security
Interest in the Collateral in conformity with the immediately preceding
sentence, or to enable the Secured Party to exercise or enforce its rights
hereunder, including, but not limited to, executing and delivering financing
statements, pledges, designations, hypothecations, notices and assignments, in
each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, relating to
the creation, validity, perfection, priority or continuation of the Security
Interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law.

The Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by
Applicable Law, at
- 6 -

least ten days' prior notice to the Debtor 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, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at
any other reasonable time shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless
of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party 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.

or any portion of the Collateral and/or the business operations of the Debtor
and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver.

or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral following an Event
of Default shall be applied or paid over as follows:

evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. In
exercising its rights and remedies the Secured Party
- 7 -

may be selective and no failure or delay by the Secured Party in exercising any
right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of
any other power or right.
