II, the grant of a security interest as provided herein shall not extend to, and the term
“Collateral” shall not include, any Assigned Contract in which RIT has any right, title or interest
if and to the extent such Assigned Contract includes a provision containing a restriction on
assignment such that the creation of a security interest in the right, title or interest of RIT
therein would be prohibited and would, in and of itself, cause or result in a default thereunder
enabling another Person party to such Assigned Contract to enforce any remedy with respect thereto;
provided, however, that the foregoing exclusion shall not apply if (i) such prohibition has been
waived or such other Person has otherwise consented to the creation hereunder of a security
interest in such Assigned Contract or (ii) such prohibition would be rendered ineffective pursuant
to the UCC, as applicable and as then in effect in any relevant jurisdiction, or any other
Governmental Rule or principles of equity; provided, further, that immediately upon the

shall be deemed to have granted a security interest in, all its rights, title and interests in and
to such Assigned Contract as if such provision had never been in effect; and provided, finally,
that the foregoing exclusion shall in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise
affect BIIB’s unconditional continuing security interest in and to all rights, title and interests
of RIT in or to any payment obligations or other rights to receive monies due or to become due
under any such Assigned Contract and in any such monies and other proceeds of such Assigned
Contract.

or agreement herein contained or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, for the
foreclosure or sale of the Collateral or any part thereof under the judgment or decree of any court

right under this Agreement, BIIB shall be entitled as a matter of right against RIT to such
appointment of a receiver, without regard to (i) the adequacy of the security by virtue of this
Agreement or any other collateral or (ii) the solvency of RIT.
(c) In addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to
BIIB, it may exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party
upon default under the UCC, whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral, and also may
(i) require RIT to, and RIT hereby agrees that, at its expense and upon the request of BIIB, it
forthwith shall assemble all or any part of the Collateral as directed by BIIB and make it
available to BIIB at such places as BIIB may designate, and (ii) sell the Collateral or any part
thereof in one or more sales at public or private sales, at any of BIIB’s offices or elsewhere, for
cash, on credit or for future delivery and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as is
commercially reasonable. RIT agrees that to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law,

therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was

Obligations remaining unpaid after the application of such proceeds; and provided, further, that,
to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, nothing herein contained shall in any way limit or
restrict BIIB’s rights to proceed directly against RIT without first causing BIIB to exhaust, or in
any manner to exercise its rights in respect of, the Collateral.
(e) Any sale of the Collateral or any part thereof pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.1 shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand of RIT in
and to the property sold and shall be a perpetual bar against RIT. Nevertheless, if requested by
BIIB so to do,
9
RIT shall join in the execution, acknowledgment and delivery of all proper conveyances,
assignments and transfers of the property sold. It shall not be necessary for BIIB to have
physically present or constructively in BIIB’s possession any of the Collateral at any such sale,

if it should be impossible or impracticable then to take actual delivery of the Collateral, the
title and right of possession to the Collateral shall pass to the purchaser at such sale as
completely as if the same had been actually present and delivered. RIT agrees that if RIT retains
possession of the property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, RIT shall be considered a
tenant at sufferance of the purchaser and shall, if RIT remains in possession after demand to
remove, be guilty of forceful detainer and be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or
otherwise, with or without process of law, and all damages by reason thereof are hereby expressly
waived by RIT.

Collateral to the extent that BIIB deems appropriate for the purpose of caring for, preserving or
disposing of the Collateral or for any other purpose that BIIB deems appropriate.

RIT’s affiliates shall at any time have or assert any right under any law pertaining to the
marshalling of assets, the sale of property in the inverse order of alienation, the administration
of estates of decedents, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption now or hereafter in
force in order to prevent or hinder the rights of BIIB or any purchaser of the Collateral or any
part thereof under this Agreement.
(h) Upon any sale made under the powers of sale herein granted and conferred, the receipt of
BIIB shall be sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers at any sale for the purchase
money, and such purchaser or purchasers, and the heirs, devisees, personal representatives,
successors and assigns thereof, shall not, after paying such purchase money and receiving such
receipt of BIIB, be obliged to see to the application thereof or be in any way answerable for any
loss, misapplication or nonapplication thereof unless such purchaser is BIIB or an Affiliate
thereof.
Section 6.2 Effectiveness and Reinstatement. This Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and continue to be effective should any Event of Default occur. This Agreement
shall continue to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, without
the need for further action by either party hereto if at any time payment and performance of the
Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is rescinded or reduced in amount or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any obligee of the Secured Obligations pursuant to any Governmental Rule,
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, then the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and
deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Each such notice, request or other communication shall be given by: (i) hand delivery; (ii) by
certified mail; or (iii) nationally recognized courier service. Each such notice, request or
communication shall be effective when delivered at the address specified above (or in accordance
with the latest unrevoked direction from the receiving party).
Section 8.3 Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until payment in
full of the Secured Obligations and performance of all other obligations secured hereby, (b) be
binding upon RIT and RIT’s successors and assigns (provided, however, that RIT shall not have the
right to assign RIT’s rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein), and (c) inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, BIIB and its successors and assigns (BIIB having the right to
assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein in its discretion without the consent of RIT).
Section 8.4 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or held
to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it shall be adjusted, if possible, rather than
voided, so as
12
to achieve the intent of the parties to the fullest extent possible. In any event, such
provision shall be severable from, and shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
Section 8.5 Rights Cumulative; No Waiver. BIIB’s options, powers, rights, privileges
and immunities specified herein or arising hereunder are in addition to, and not exclusive of,
those otherwise created or existing now or at any time, whether by contract, by statute or by rule
of law. BIIB shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have modified,
discharged or waived any of BIIB’s options, powers or rights in respect of this Agreement, and no
modification, discharge or waiver of any such option, power or right shall be valid unless set
forth in writing signed by BIIB or BIIB’s authorized agent, and then only to the extent therein set
forth. A waiver by BIIB of any right or remedy hereunder or any one occasion shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given, and shall not be
construed as a bar to any right or remedy that BIIB otherwise would have on any other occasion.
Section 8.6 Governing Law; Terms; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applied to contracts between
residents thereof, to be wholly performed within the State of California, except to the extent that
the validity or perfection of the security interest hereunder, or remedies or other provisions
hereunder, in respect of any particular Collateral are governed by the laws of a jurisdiction other
than the State of California, including federal law. No claim, dispute or proceeding of any kind
or nature whatsoever arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement may be commenced,
prosecuted or continued in any court other than the courts of the State of California located in
the City of San Diego or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
California located in San Diego County, which courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the
adjudication of such matters, and RIT consents to the jurisdiction of such courts and personal
service with respect thereto.
Section 8.7 Releases. No release from the lien of this Agreement of any part of the
Collateral by BIIB shall in any way alter, vary or diminish the force, effect or lien of this
Agreement on the balance of the Collateral.
Section 8.8 Subrogation. This Agreement is made with full substitution and
subrogation of BIIB in and to all covenants and warranties by others heretofore given or made in
respect of the Collateral or any part thereof.
Section 8.9 Headings. The section headings used in this Agreement are intended
principally for convenience and shall not by themselves determine the rights and obligations of the
parties to this Agreement.
Section 8.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the agreements expressly referenced
herein contain the entire agreement between RIT and BIIB with respect to the subject matter hereof.
No supplement to or modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by
RIT and BIIB.
