5.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be an event of default hereunder (each, an “Event of Default”):
(a) Payments. Brickell fails to pay any Milestone Installment Payment or Revenue Share Payment when due and does not cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days after the earlier of (i) provision of written notice of such breach by Brickell to Secured Party in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Funding Agreement, or (ii) Secured Party becoming aware of such breach.

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Milestone Payment Obligation (i.e., Thirty-Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($37,500,000)) would not be accelerated by an Event of Default that occurs prior to the Milestone Payment Obligation accruing, and being irrevocably earned by NovaQuest, on the Milestone Date, pursuant to Section 4.1(a) of the Funding Agreement and (ii) a Non-Technical Termination Payment would not be accelerated by an Event of Default that occurs prior to the occurrence of a Non-Technical Termination pursuant to Section 3.3(c) of the Funding Agreement.

(iii) Without notice except as specifically provided in Section 7.1 hereof or elsewhere herein, sell, lease, assign, grant an option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of, deliver, or realize upon, the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales (which sales may be adjourned or continued from time to time with or without notice and may take place at any Grantor’s premises or elsewhere), for cash, on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk, and upon such other terms as Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. Secured Party shall be entitled to credit bid and use and apply the Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by Secured Party at such sale. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(iv) Transfer and register in its name or in the name of its nominee the whole or any part of the Collateral, to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations, to exercise the voting and all other rights as a holder with respect thereto, to collect and receive all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions made thereon and to otherwise act with respect to the Collateral as though Secured Party was the outright owner thereof.
(b) Secured Party may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral and such compliance will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(d) Secured Party shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase all or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption, which right or equity of redemption each Grantor hereby expressly waives and releases. Secured Party may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Secured Party may specifically disclaim or modify any warranties of title or the like.
(e) Until Secured Party is able to effect a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, Secured Party shall have the right to hold or use Collateral, or any part thereof, to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Secured Party. Secured Party may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of Collateral and to enforce any of Secured Party’s remedies, with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment.
11
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall not be required to (i) make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, any Grantor, any other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof, (ii) marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the Secured Obligations or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee in any particular order, or (iii) effect a public sale of any Collateral.

5.4 Proceeds. The proceeds of the Collateral shall be applied by Secured Party to payment of the Secured Obligations with any proceeds remaining after such application returned to the relevant Grantor.
ARTICLE VI
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
WAIVERS, AMENDMENTS AND REMEDIES
No delay or omission of Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy granted under this Security Agreement shall impair such right or remedy or be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver of any term, condition or provision of this Security Agreement shall be valid unless evidenced in a writing signed by Secured Party. This Security Agreement, including any attachments or exhibits hereto, may be amended, modified, or supplemented only by a written amendment or agreement signed by Secured Party and each Grantor.

To the extent it may lawfully do so, each Grantor absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisal, extension, moratorium, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or privately under the power of sale conferred by this Security Agreement, or otherwise. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Grantor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or any notice (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) of any kind in connection with this Security Agreement or any Collateral. Each Grantor shall permit Secured Party and its representatives and agents, to inspect any of its Collateral or its books and financial records related thereto, to examine and make copies of its books of accounts and other financial records related to Collateral and to discuss matters pertaining to the Collateral with, and to be advised as to the same by, its officers at such reasonable times and intervals as Secured Party may designate. The Grantors shall pay the expenses of Secured Party for all visits, inspections and examinations that are made while any Event of Default is continuing and otherwise with respect to one such annual visit, inspection and examination.
7.2 Limitation on Secured Party’s Duty with Respect to the Collateral. Secured Party shall have no obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale. Secured Party shall use reasonable care with respect to the Collateral in its possession or under its control; provided that Secured Party shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession or under its control if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Secured Party accords its own property. Secured Party
13
shall not have any other duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or nominee of Secured Party, or any income thereon or as to the preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto. To the extent that Applicable Law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as such Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.2 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would be commercially reasonable in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.2. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.2 shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Security Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 7.2.
7.3 Secured Party’s Performance of Grantor’s Obligations. Without having any obligation to do so, Secured Party may perform or pay any obligation which any Grantor has agreed to perform or pay in this Security Agreement and such Grantor shall promptly reimburse Secured Party on demand for any reasonable amounts paid by Secured Party pursuant to this Section 7.3. Each Grantor’s obligation to reimburse Secured Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be a Secured Obligation payable on demand. Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on Secured Party to cure or
14
perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to any of its obligations under this Security Agreement.
7.4 Authorization for Secured Party to Take Certain Action. Each Grantor irrevocably authorizes Secured Party at any time and from time to time in the sole discretion of Secured Party and appoints Secured Party as its attorney in fact (i) to execute on behalf of such Grantor as debtor and to file financing statements, including amendments thereto and/or continuations thereof, necessary or desirable in Secured Party’s sole discretion to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral, (ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to indorse and collect any cash proceeds of the Collateral, (iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Security Agreement or any financing statement with respect to the Collateral as a financing statement and to file any other financing statement or amendment and/or continuation of a financing statement (which does not add new collateral or add a debtor) in such offices as Secured Party in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to maintain the perfection and priority of Secured Party’s security interest in the Collateral, (iv) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to apply the proceeds of any Collateral received by Secured Party to the Secured Obligations, (v) to discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees or Liens on the Collateral (except for such Liens as are specifically permitted hereunder or under the Funding Agreement) and (vi) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to exercise all rights and remedies under Article V or otherwise under this Security Agreement and each Grantor agrees to promptly reimburse Secured Party on demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by Secured Party in connection therewith; provided that (x) this authorization shall not relieve any Grantor of any of its obligations under this Security Agreement or under the Funding Agreement and (y) nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating Secured Party to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Secured Party, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby. The power-of-attorney granted hereby is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
7.5 Specific Performance of Certain Covenants. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that a breach of the covenants contained in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 hereof will cause irreparable injury to Secured Party, that Secured Party has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breaches and therefore agrees, without limiting the right of Secured Party to seek and obtain specific performance of other obligations of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement, that the covenants of the Grantors contained in the Sections referred to in this Section 7.5 shall be specifically enforceable against the Grantors.
7.6 Reinstatement. This Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against any Grantor for liquidation or reorganization, should any Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of any creditor or creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of
15
any Grantor’s assets, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to Applicable Law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
7.7 Indemnification. The Grantors shall indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by Secured Party (a) related solely to this Security Agreement arising out of claims, suits, actions or demands, in each case brought by a Third Party, or any settlements or judgments arising therefrom, or (b) arising from the enforcement of this Security Agreement and the security interests hereby created, except claims, losses or liabilities resulting from Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. With respect to any claim for indemnification under clause (a) of the preceding sentence, the provisions of Section 10.2 of the Funding Agreement shall be incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis. Any liability of the Grantors to indemnify and hold Secured Party harmless pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be part of the Secured Obligations. Each Grantor’s obligations under this Section 7.7 shall survive termination of this Security Agreement.
7.8 Benefit of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Security Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Grantors, Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns (including all persons who become party to this Security Agreement as a Grantor), except that the Grantors shall not have the right to assign their rights or delegate their obligations under this Security Agreement or any interest herein, without the prior written consent of Secured Party. No sales of participations, assignments, transfers, or other dispositions of any agreement governing the Secured Obligations or any portion thereof or interest therein shall in any manner impair the Lien granted to Secured Party.
7.9 Survival of Representations. All representations and warranties of the Grantors contained in this Security Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement.
7.10 Headings. The title of and section headings in this Security Agreement are for convenience of reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the terms and provisions of this Security Agreement.
7.11 Termination. This Security Agreement shall continue in effect for the Term of the Funding Agreement.
7.12 Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the Grantors and Secured Party relating to the Collateral and supersedes all
16
prior agreements and understandings among the Grantors and Secured Party relating to the Collateral.
7.13 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

7.15 Counterparts. This Security Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Security Agreement by telecopy or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Security Agreement.
7.16 Security Interest Absolute. All rights of Secured Party hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Funding Agreement, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Funding Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance (other than payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than inchoate obligations)) that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Security Agreement.
17
7.17 Additional Grantors. Each Grantor agrees to provide prompt written notice to Secured Party of the formation or acquisition of any new subsidiary that has an interest in Product Assets and such subsidiary shall be required to enter in this Security Agreement as a Grantor.

7.18 Release of Liens. Upon the termination of this Security Agreement in accordance with Section 7.11, each Grantor shall automatically be released from its obligations under this Security Agreement, and the security interests in the Collateral created by this Security Agreement and the Funding Agreement shall be automatically released. In addition, upon any sale or other disposition by any Grantor of any Collateral in a transaction permitted under the Funding Agreement (other than a disposition to another Grantor), the security interests in such Collateral created by this Security Agreement shall, upon written notice to Secured Party, be automatically released.
In connection with any termination or release pursuant to this Section 7.18, Secured Party shall execute and deliver to the applicable Grantor all documents that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.
