(a) Grant of Security Interest. Guarantor grants to Lender a valid, first priority, continuing security interest in all presently existing and hereafter acquired or arising Collateral in order to secure prompt, full and complete payment and performance of any and all Guaranteed Obligations (other than any warrants issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement). The “Collateral” shall mean and include all right, title, interest, claims and demands of Guarantor in and to all personal property of Guarantor, including without limitation, all of the following:

(i) All goods (and embedded computer programs and supporting information included within the definition of “goods” under the Code) and equipment now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, all laboratory equipment, computer equipment, office equipment, machinery, vehicles (including motor vehicles and trailers), and any interest in any of the foregoing, and all attachments, accessories, accessions, replacements, substitutions, additions, and improvements to any of the foregoing, wherever located;

(ii) All inventory now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, all merchandise, raw materials, parts, supplies, packing and shipping materials, work in process and finished products including such inventory as is temporarily out of Guarantor’s custody or possession or in transit and including any returns upon any accounts or other proceeds, including insurance proceeds, resulting from the sale or disposition of any of the foregoing and any documents of title representing any of the above, and Guarantor’s books relating to any of the foregoing;

(iii) All contract rights and general intangibles (including Intellectual Property), now owned or hereafter acquired, including, without limitation, goodwill, license agreements, franchise agreements, blueprints, drawings, purchase orders, customer lists, route lists, infringements, claims, software, computer programs, computer disks, computer tapes, literature, reports, catalogs, design rights, income tax refunds, payment intangibles, commercial tort claims, payments of insurance and rights to payment of any kind;

(iv) All now existing and hereafter arising accounts, contract rights, royalties, license rights, license fees and all other forms of obligations owing to Guarantor arising out of the sale or lease of goods, the licensing of technology or the rendering of services by Guarantor (subject, in each case, to the contractual rights of third parties to require funds received by Guarantor to be expended in a particular manner), whether or not earned by performance, and any and all credit insurance, guaranties, and other security therefor, as well as all merchandise returned to or reclaimed by Guarantor and Guarantor’s books relating to any of the foregoing;

(v) All documents, cash, deposit accounts (other than payroll accounts), letters of credit (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), certificates of deposit, instruments, promissory notes, chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic) and investment property, including, without limitation, all securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, security entitlements, securities accounts, commodity contracts and commodity accounts, and all financial assets held in any securities account or otherwise, wherever located, now owned or hereafter acquired and Guarantor’s books relating to the foregoing; and

Any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions and accessions to and proceeds thereof, including, without limitation, insurance, condemnation, requisition or similar payments and proceeds of the sale or licensing of Intellectual Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall not include any Intellectual Property; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include all accounts receivables, accounts, and general intangibles that consist of rights to payment and proceeds from the sale, licensing or disposition of all or any part, or rights in, the foregoing (the “Rights to Payment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a judicial authority (including a U.S. Bankruptcy Court) holds that a security interest in the underlying Intellectual Property is necessary to have a security interest in the Rights to Payment, then the Collateral shall automatically, and effective as of the date hereof, include the Intellectual Property to the extent necessary to permit perfection of Lender’s security interest in the Rights to Payment.

(b) After-Acquired Property. If Guarantor shall at any time acquire a commercial tort claim, as defined in the Code, Guarantor shall immediately notify Lender in writing signed by Guarantor of the brief details thereof and grant to Lender in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

(c) Duration of Security Interest. Lender’s security interest in the Collateral shall continue until the payment in full and the satisfaction of all Guaranteed Obligations and termination of Lender’s commitment to fund the Loan, whereupon such security interest shall terminate. Lender shall, at Guarantor’s sole cost and expense, execute such further documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary to make effective the release contemplated by this Section 8(c), including duly executing and delivering termination statements for filing in all relevant jurisdictions under the Code.

(d) Lien Subordination. Lender agrees that the Liens granted to it hereunder shall be subordinate to the Liens to secure the Indebtedness permitted under clause (e) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Guarantor Loan Agreement). Lender agrees that the Liens granted to it hereunder in Third Party Equipment (as hereinafter defined) shall be subordinate to the Liens of existing and future lenders providing equipment financing and equipment lessors for equipment and other personal property now existing acquired by Guarantor after the date hereof (“Third Party Equipment”); provided that such Liens are confined solely to the equipment so financed and the proceeds thereof and are Permitted Liens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder shall not be subordinate in right of payment to any obligations to other lenders, equipment lenders or equipment lessors and Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder shall not in any way be subordinate to the rights and remedies of any such lenders or equipment lessors. So long as no Event of Default has occurred, Lender agrees to execute and deliver such

agreements and documents as may be reasonably requested by Guarantor from time to time which set forth the lien subordination described in this Section 8(d) and are reasonably acceptable to Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to execute any agreement or document which would impose obligations, restrictions or lien priority on Lender which are less favorable to Lender than those described in this Section 8(d).

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications to or upon Guarantor or Lender under this Guaranty shall be in writing and fixed, mailed or delivered, if to Guarantor or Lender, as set forth in the Loan Agreement, with Guarantor’s notices being delivered in the same manner and place as the Borrower. All such notices and communications shall be effective as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

(b) Payments. Guarantor shall make all payments required hereunder to Lender, or its order, as set forth in Section 2 of the Loan Agreement, or at such other office or by wire transfer as Lender may designate, on demand, in U.S. dollars.

(d) Waivers, Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended or modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instruments signed by Guarantor and Lender to the extent amendments are permitted pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Each waiver or consent under any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instances for the purpose for which given. No failure or delay on Lender’s part in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.

Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any Person or to exhaust any Collateral or to pursue any remedy in Lender’s power.
