(b) On and after the establishment of the Product Deposit Account, the Grantor covenants and agrees, so long as any Secured Obligation of the Grantor under the Indentures shall remain unpaid or be outstanding: (i) to instruct each Person obligated at any time to make any payment to the Grantor in respect of any Product Receivable to make such payment to the Product Deposit Account; (ii) to deposit all amounts it shall otherwise receive as payment in connection with any Product Receivable into the Product Deposit Account and (iii) not to instruct any Person obligated at any time to make any payment to the Grantor in respect of any Product Receivable to make such payment to any account other than the Product Deposit Account.
(c) The Grantor agrees that (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it will not open any new Product Deposit Account unless (A) the Collateral Agent shall have received at least 10 days’ prior written notice of such new Product Deposit Account, (B) the Collateral Agent shall have received promptly thereafter an amended Schedule VIII hereto which reflects such additional Product Deposit Account and (C) within 20 days after such new Product Deposit Account shall have been opened, the Collateral Agent shall have received a Deposit Account Control Agreement authenticated by the Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Pledged Account Bank and (ii) at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will not open any new Product Deposit Account other than as requested by the Collateral Agent or as required under this Agreement and provided that (A) the Collateral Agent shall have received, in the case of a Pledged Account Bank that is not the Collateral Agent, a Deposit Account Control Agreement authenticated by such new bank and Grantor, or a supplement to an existing Deposit Account Control Agreement with such then existing Pledged Account Bank, covering such new Product Deposit Account and (B) the Collateral Agent shall have received promptly thereafter an amended Schedule VIII hereto which reflects such additional Product Deposit Account subject to a Deposit Account Control Agreement.

(d) Upon any termination by the Grantor of any Product Deposit Account pursuant to and in accordance with Section 4(c), the Grantor will immediately transfer all funds and property held in such terminated Product Deposit Account to another account listed on Schedule VIII and notify all obligors that were making payments with respect to Product Receivables to cease making payments to such terminated Product Deposit Account and to make all future payments to another Product Deposit Account listed on Schedule VIII hereto.
Section 5. Representations and Warranties. The Grantor represents and warrants that as of the date hereof:
(a) The Grantor’s exact legal name, as defined in Section 9-503(a) of the UCC, is correctly set forth in Schedule I hereto. The Grantor is located (within the meaning of
-8-
Section 9-307 of the UCC) and has its chief executive office in the state or jurisdiction set forth in Schedule I hereto. The information set forth in Schedule I hereto with respect to the Grantor is true and accurate in all respects. The Grantor has not previously changed its name, location of its chief executive office, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization or organizational identification number from those set forth in Schedule I hereto except as disclosed in Schedule IV hereto.
(b) All of the Product Equipment and Product Inventory of the Grantor are located at the places specified therefor in Schedule III hereto, as such Schedule III may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section 7(a). Executed copies of each Product IP Agreement and each Product Agreement and Assigned Agreement listed in Schedule II hereto have been delivered to the Collateral Agent. None of the Product Receivables, Product IP Agreement Collateral, Product Agreement Collateral or Assigned Agreement Collateral is evidenced by a promissory note or other instrument that has not been delivered to the Collateral Agent.
(c) The Grantor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, security interest, pledge, or hypothecation (collectively, “Liens”, and each individually, a “Lien”), except for the security interest created under this Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances (as defined in the Transfer Agreement). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of such Collateral is on file in any recording or filing office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Collateral Agent relating to the Indentures, the Notes and this Agreement.
(d) The Grantor has exclusive possession and control of the Product Equipment and Product Inventory other than the Product Equipment or Product Inventory stored at any leased premises or warehouse for which a landlord’s or warehouseman’s agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, is in effect and which leased premises or warehouse is so indicated by an asterisk on Schedule III hereto, as such Schedule III may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section 7(a). In the case of Product Equipment and Product Inventory located on leased premises or in warehouses, no lessor or warehouseman of any premises or warehouse upon or in which such Product Equipment and Product Inventory is located has (i) issued any warehouse receipt or other receipt in the nature of a warehouse receipt in respect of any Product Equipment and Product Inventory, (ii) issued any document for any of the Grantor’s Product Equipment and Product Inventory, (iii) received notification of any secured party’s interest (other than the security interest granted hereunder) in the Grantor’s Product Equipment and Product Inventory or (iv) any Lien, claim or charge (based on contract, statute or otherwise) on such Product Equipment and Product Inventory.
(e) To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, the Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements and Assigned Agreements to which the Grantor is a party, true and complete and executed copies of which have been furnished to the Collateral Agent, have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by all parties thereto, have not been amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, are in full force and effect and are binding upon and enforceable against all parties thereto in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws
-9-
relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies. To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, there exists no default under any Product IP Agreement, Product Agreement or Assigned Agreement to which the Grantor is a party by any party thereto.
(f) Except for the filings of the Intellectual Property Security Agreement with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, all filings and other actions necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral of the Grantor created under this Agreement have been duly made or taken and are in full force and effect, and this Agreement creates in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a valid and, together with such filings and other actions, perfected first priority security interest in the Collateral of the Grantor, securing the payment of the Secured Obligations.
(g) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for (i) the grant by the Grantor of the security interest granted hereunder or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Grantor and (ii) the perfection or maintenance of the security interest created hereunder (including the first priority nature of such security interest), except for the filing of financing and continuation statements under the UCC, which financing statements have been duly filed and are in full force and effect and the recordation of the Intellectual Property Security Agreements referred to in Section 10(e) with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, which Agreements will, within 90 days of the date of this Agreement, be duly recorded and in full force and effect upon the acceptance of such recordations.
(h) The Grantor has no other deposit accounts in or to which payments in respect of the Product Receivables will be deposited or credited, other than the Product Deposit Account; provided, that prior to delivery of a Notice of Exclusive Control, Grantor will sweep deposits from the Product Deposit Account to other deposit accounts in its name on a regular basis.
(i) With respect to the Marketed Product NDAs (i) nothing has come to the attention of the Grantor which has led the Grantor to reasonably believe that any of the Marketed Product NDAs are not in good standing with the FDA and (ii) to the best of Grantor’s knowledge, there is no action or proceeding by any governmental or regulatory authority pending or threatened seeking the revocation or suspension of any regulatory approval relating to the sale of any Marketed Product in the Territory.
(j) As to itself and its Product Intellectual Property Collateral:
(i) To the best of Grantor’s knowledge, the Grantor’s use of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral does not conflict with, infringe, misappropriate, dilute, misuse or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of any third party.
(ii) The Grantor is the exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the Product Intellectual Property Collateral (other than the Product Intellectual Property Collateral which has been licensed to the Grantor), and is
-10-
entitled to use all Product Intellectual Property Collateral subject only to the terms of the Product IP Agreements.
(iii) The Product Intellectual Property Collateral set forth in Schedule V hereto includes all of the patents, patent applications, domain names, trade dress, trademark registrations and applications, copyright registrations and applications and Product IP Agreements owned by or licensed to the Grantor which primarily relate to the manufacture, packaging, marketing, distribution, promotion, co-marketing, co-promotion, sale, offer for sale and importation of the Product in the Territory.
(iv) The Product Intellectual Property Collateral has not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or part, and to the best of the Grantor’s knowledge, is valid and enforceable. The Grantor is not aware of any uses of any item of Product Intellectual Property Collateral that could be expected to lead to such item becoming invalid or unenforceable.
(v) The Grantor will, within 10 days after the date of this Agreement, make all required filings and recordings and pay all required fees and taxes to record its interests in the Purchased Patents and Purchased Trademarks with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and record its interests in the registered Purchased Copyrights, if any, with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Except as set forth in Schedule V hereto, the Grantor has not granted any license, release, covenant not to xxx, non-assertion assurance, or other right to any Person with respect to any part of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Indentures or the Transfer Agreement will not result in the termination or impairment of any of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral.

-11-
and represents the entire agreement between the respective parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof; (B) to the best of Grantor’s knowledge, (I) such IP Agreement will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interest granted herein, and (II) the grant of such rights and interest will not constitute a material breach or default under such IP Agreement or otherwise give any party thereto a right to terminate such IP Agreement; (C) the Grantor has not received any written notice of termination or cancellation under such IP Agreement; (D) the Grantor has not received any written notice of a material breach or default under such IP Agreement, which breach or default has not been cured; (E) the Grantor has not granted to any other third party any rights, adverse or otherwise, under such IP Agreement other than as set forth in this Agreement; and (F) to the best of Grantor’s knowledge, (I) neither the Grantor nor any other party to such IP Agreement is in breach or default thereof in any material respect, and (II) no event has occurred that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material breach or default or permit termination, modification or acceleration under such IP Agreement.
(viii) To the best of the Grantor’s knowledge, (A) none of the Product Trade Secrets of the Grantor has been divulged, disclosed or misappropriated from the Grantor or to the material detriment of the Grantor for the benefit of any other Person other than the Grantor; (B) no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Grantor has misappropriated any trade secrets of any other Person in the course of the performance of his or her duties as an employee, independent contractor or agent of the Grantor with respect to the Product Intellectual Property Collateral; and (C) no employee, independent contractor or agent of the Grantor is in material default or breach of any term of any employment agreement, non-disclosure agreement, assignment of inventions agreement or similar agreement or contract relating in any way to the protection, ownership, development, use or transfer of the Grantor’s Product Intellectual Property Collateral.
(ix) Except for the Prior Rights Agreements (as defined in Schedule II hereto), neither the Grantor nor the Product Intellectual Property Collateral is subject to any outstanding consent, settlement, decree, order, injunction, judgment or ruling restricting the Grantor’s use of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral with respect to the manufacture, production, shipment, marketing, sale or distribution of the Product in the Territory that would impair the validity or enforceability of such Product Intellectual Property Collateral in a manner that would have a material adverse effect on the Grantor.
Section 6. Further Assurances.
(a) The Grantor agrees that from time to time, at the expense of the Grantor, the Grantor will promptly execute and deliver, or otherwise authenticate, all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable, or that the Collateral Agent may request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or security interest granted or purported to be granted by the Grantor hereunder or to enable the Collateral Agent to
-12-
exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral of the Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantor will promptly with respect to Collateral of the Grantor: (i) at the request of the Collateral Agent, xxxx conspicuously each document included in Inventory, Product Receivables or Product Receivables Agreements, and each Product IP Agreement, Product Agreement and Assigned Agreement and, each of its records pertaining to such Collateral with a legend, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, indicating that such document, Product Receivable, Product Receivable Agreement, Product IP Agreement, Product Agreement, Assigned Agreement or other Collateral is subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) execute or authenticate and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and preserve the security interest granted or purported to be granted by the Grantor hereunder; and (iii) deliver to the Collateral Agent evidence that all other action that the Collateral Agent may deem reasonably necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest created by the Grantor under this Agreement has been taken. Upon request by the Collateral Agent, the Grantor will, at the Grantor’s expense, cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an opinion of counsel, from outside counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, as to such matters relating to the transactions contemplated hereby as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request; provided that the Collateral Agent shall be limited to one such request per calendar year.
(b) The Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in each case without the signature of the Grantor, with respect to the Collateral. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. The Grantor ratifies its authorization for the Collateral Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.
(c) The Grantor will furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of the Grantor and such other reports in connection with such Collateral as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

Section 7. As to Product Equipment and Product Inventory.
(a) The Grantor will keep the Product Equipment and Product Inventory (other than Product Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the places therefor specified in Section 5(b) or, upon written notice to the Collateral Agent within thirty (30) days after establishing any new location for Product Equipment or Product Inventory, at such other places designated by the Grantor in such notice. Upon the giving of such notice, Schedule III shall be automatically amended to add any new locations specified in the notice.
(b) The Grantor will cause the Product Equipment of the Grantor to be maintained and preserved in the same condition, repair and working order as when acquired, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and will make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection with the Product Equipment that are necessary or desirable to such end; provided, that the Grantor shall not be required to maintain and preserve or repair, replace or make any improvements to any of the Product Equipment if the Grantor shall determine that the maintenance, preservation, replacement or improvement of such Product Equipment is not desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business or to the Secured Parties.
(c) The Grantor will pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including, without limitation, claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Product Equipment and Product Inventory of the Grantor; provided, that the Grantor shall not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, governmental charge or levy, or claim (i) if the failure to do so would not be materially disadvantageous to the Grantor’s business or to the Secured Parties or (ii) if the amount, applicability or validity thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. In producing its Product Inventory, the Grantor will comply in all material respects with all requirements of applicable law, including, without limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Section 8. Insurance.
(a) The Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with respect to the Product Equipment and Product Inventory of the Grantor in such amounts, against such risks, in such form and with such insurers, as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent from time to time. Each such policy shall in addition (i) name the Grantor and the Collateral Agent as insured parties and loss payees thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as their interests may appear, (ii) provide that there shall be no recourse against the Collateral Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and (iii) provide that at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. The Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance.
(b) In case of any loss involving damage to Product Equipment or Product Inventory when subsection (c) of this Section 8 is not applicable, (i) the Grantor will make or cause to be made the necessary repairs to or replacements of such Product Equipment or Product Inventory and (ii) any proceeds of insurance properly received by or released to the Grantor shall be used by the Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder, to pay or as reimbursement for
-14-
the costs of such repairs or replacements; provided that, in each case, the Grantor shall not be required to make such repairs or replacements if the Grantor shall determine that paying for the costs of such repairs or replacements is not desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business, to the value of the Collateral (taken as a whole) or to the Secured Parties.
(c) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance payments received by the Collateral Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of any Product Inventory or Product Equipment will be released by the Collateral Agent to the Grantor for the repair, replacement or restoration thereof, subject to such terms and conditions with respect to the release thereof as the Collateral Agent may reasonably require. To the extent that the amount of any such insurance payments exceeds the cost of any such repair, replacement or restoration, the Collateral Agent will not be required to release the amount thereof to the Grantor and may hold or continue to hold such amount as additional security for the Secured Obligations of the Grantor.
Section 9. Post-Closing Changes; Bailees; Collections on Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements, and Assigned Agreements; NDAs.
(a) The Grantor will not change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number or location from those referenced in Section 5(a) of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and taking all action reasonably required by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. The Grantor will not change the location of the Product Equipment and Product Inventory from the locations therefor specified in Sections 5(a) and 5(b) without giving the Collateral Agent written notice within thirty days after such change. The Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements and Assigned Agreements, and will permit representatives of the Collateral Agent at any time during normal business hours and upon at least five (5) calendar days’ prior written notice to inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Collateral Agent shall be limited to one such inspection per calendar year. If the Grantor does not have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number.
(b) If any Collateral of the Grantor is at any time in the possession or control of a warehouseman, bailee or agent and if the Collateral Agent so requests the Grantor will (i) notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the security interest created hereunder, (ii) instruct such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral solely for the Collateral Agent’s account subject only to the Collateral Agent’s instructions (which shall permit such Collateral to be removed by the Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the Collateral Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such warehouseman, bailee or agent to authenticate a record acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral for the Collateral Agent’s benefit and shall act solely on the instructions of the Collateral Agent without the further consent of the Grantor or any other Person from and after the time that such warehouseman,
-15-
bailee or agent receives written notice from the Collateral Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (iv) make such authenticated record available to the Collateral Agent.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), the Grantor will continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due the Grantor under the Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements and Assigned Agreements. In connection with such collections, the Grantor may take (and, at the Collateral Agent’s direction upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, will take) such action as the Grantor (or, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent) may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements and Assigned Agreements; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon written notice to the Grantor of its intention to do so, to notify the obligors under any Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements, or Assigned Agreements of the assignment of such Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements or Assigned Agreements to the Collateral Agent and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to the Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements or Assigned Agreements, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as the Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights with respect to such Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements or Assigned Agreements, including, without limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by the Grantor of the notice from the Collateral Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence and during the continuance of the applicable Event of Default, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by the Grantor in respect of the Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements and Assigned Agreements shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of the Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be either (A) released to the Grantor to be applied to the Secured Obligations of the Grantor so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as provided in Section 17(b) and (ii) the Grantor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any amount due on any Product IP Agreements, Product Agreements or Assigned Agreements, release wholly or partly any obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount thereon. If an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Grantor will not permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any of the Product Agreements to any other indebtedness or obligations of the obligor thereunder, without the consent of the Collateral Agent.
(d) The Grantor covenants and agrees to maintain the Marketed Product NDAs in full force and effect, unless the Grantor shall have determined that the maintenance or enforcement of any Marketed Product NDA is no longer desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business or to the Secured Parties. This obligation of the Grantors shall not extend to Discontinued Product ANDAs.

Section 10. As to Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a) With respect to each material item of its Product Intellectual Property Collateral, the Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all commercially reasonable steps, including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the confidentiality of the Product Trade Secrets and the validity and enforceability of all Product Patents, Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights, if any, in accordance with the terms of Section 10(d) hereof, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Product Intellectual Property Collateral owned by the Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings; provided, that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Grantor shall not be required to make any of the filings, pay any of the amounts or take any of the actions described in this Section 10(a) (other than the registration and maintenance of the Purchased Trademarks in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the payment of related fees and taxes) if the Grantor shall determine that the making of such filings, the paying of any such amounts or the taking of such actions is not desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business, to the value of the Collateral (taken as a whole) or to the Secured Parties. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantor shall not, without the written consent of the Collateral Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any material Product Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for patent, trademark or copyright.
(b) The Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Collateral Agent if the Grantor becomes aware (i) that any material item of the Product Patents, Product Trademarks or registered Product Copyrights, if any, have been held by a final, binding and non-appealable order of any court invalid or unenforceable in the Territory, or (ii) of any final, binding and non-appealable adverse determination by any governmental authority regarding the Grantor’s ownership of any material item of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to register the same in the Territory.
(c) In the event that the Grantor becomes aware that any material item of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, the Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, take such commercially reasonable actions, at its expense, as the Grantor deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce such Product Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation, subject to the provisions of the Transfer Agreement or the applicable Product IP Agreement; provided, that, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Grantor shall not be required to provide such notice or take any such actions if the Grantor shall determine that the taking of such actions
-17-
is not desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business or to the Secured Parties.
(d) The Grantor shall, to the extent required by law, use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each material item of its Product Intellectual Property Collateral. The Grantor shall not do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Product Patents, Product Trademarks or registered Product Copyrights, if any, may lapse or become invalid or unenforceable or any of its Product Trade Secrets may be placed in the public domain unless the Grantor has determined that such Product Patents, Product Trademarks, registered Product Copyrights (if any) and Product Trade Secrets are no longer desirable in the conduct of the Grantor’s business and that the failure to do so will not be materially disadvantageous to its business or to the Secured Parties; provided, that such determination may not be made by the Grantor without the written consent of the Collateral Agent if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing.
(e) With respect to its Product Patents, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights, if any, the Grantor agrees to execute or otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (an “Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Collateral Agent in such Product Patents, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights, if any, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Product Patent, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights, if any.
(f) The Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type set forth in Section 1(i) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Product Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto. The Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Collateral Agent identifying Product Patents, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights comprising a part of the After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and the Grantor shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an IP Security Agreement Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent covering such Product Patents, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such Product Patents, registered Product Trademarks and registered Product Copyrights.

Section 15. Collateral Agent May Perform. If the Grantor fails to perform any agreement contained herein within 5 days after the Grantor’s receipt of written notice from the Collateral Agent of such failure, the Collateral Agent may, as the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect the security interest granted hereunder in the Collateral or to protect the value thereof, but without any obligation to do so and without notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Grantor under Section 18.
Section 16. The Collateral Agent’s Duties.
(a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession, if any, and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, and as otherwise provided in Section 16(c), the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.
(b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time and upon prior written notice to the Grantor, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Subagent with respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security interest granted in such Collateral by the Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of the Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral, (iii) the Subagent
-21-
shall execute and deliver to the Grantor an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Grantor and the Collateral Agent pursuant to which the Subagent agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement which are applicable to the Collateral Agent and (iv) the term “Collateral Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that (x) no such Subagent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent and (y) in no event shall any Subagent be a direct or indirect supplier, customer or competitor of the Grantor.
(c) The Collateral Agent agrees that it will keep confidential and will not disclose, divulge or use for any purpose any information which the Collateral Agent may obtain, directly or indirectly, from the Grantor or any of the Grantor’s agents including, without limitation, any and all Product Trade Secrets and any and all information contained in reports and other materials and information submitted or made available by the Grantor to the Collateral Agent (the “Confidential Information”), unless such Confidential Information is generally known, or until such Confidential Information becomes generally known, to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 16(c)); provided, however, that the Collateral Agent may disclose Confidential Information (a) to its attorneys, accountants, consultants, and other professionals to the extent necessary to obtain their respective services in connection with the Collateral Agent’s rights and obligations as collateral agent under this Agreement, (b) as may otherwise be required by law; provided, that the Collateral Agent provides the Grantor prompt written notice thereof before making any such disclosure and provides reasonable cooperation to the Grantor at the Grantor’s expense to obtain a protective order or other similar determination with respect to the Confidential Information that may be required to be disclosed, or (c) to the extent necessary to exercise its right to foreclosure and sale proceedings as contemplated in Section 17 in respect of the Collateral upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

This Deposit Account Control Agreement dated as of , 2004 (this “Agreement”) among ViroPharma Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Debtor”), U.S. Bank National Association, as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (the “Collateral Agent”) and , (the “Financial Institution”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned thereto or by reference thereto in the Security Agreement dated , 2004, between the Debtor and the Collateral Agent (as it may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”). All references herein to the “UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of New York.
1. Establishment of Deposit Account. The Financial Institution hereby confirms and agrees that:
a. The Financial Institution has established account number [IDENTIFY ACCOUNT NUMBER] in the name “[IDENTIFY EXACT TITLE OF ACCOUNT]” (such account and any successor account, the “Deposit Account”) and the Financial Institution shall not change the name or account number of the Deposit Account without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
b. The Financial Institution is a “bank” as defined in Section 9-102 (a)(8) of Article 9 of the UCC. The Deposit Account is a “deposit account” as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of Article 9 of the UCC.
2. Control of the Deposit Account. If at any time the Financial Institution shall receive any written instructions originated by the Collateral Agent directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account, the Financial Institution shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Debtor or any other person. The Financial Institution may also comply with instructions directing the disposition of funds in the Deposit Account originated by Debtor or its authorized representatives until such time as the Collateral Agent delivers a written notice to Financial Institution that the Collateral Agent is thereby exercising exclusive control over the Deposit Account. Such notice is referred to herein as the “Notice of Exclusive Control.” After Financial Institution receives a Notice of Exclusive Control, it will cease complying with instructions concerning the Deposit Account or funds on deposit therein originated by Debtor or its representatives.
3. Subordination of Lien; Waiver of Set-Off.

4. Choice of Law. This Agreement and the Deposit Account shall each be governed by the laws of the State of New York. Regardless of any provision in any other agreement, for purposes of the UCC, New York shall be deemed to be the Financial Institution’s jurisdiction (within the meaning of Section 9-304 of Article 9 of the UCC) and the Deposit Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
5. Conflict with Other Agreements.
a. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement (or any portion thereof) and any other agreement now existing or hereafter entered into, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail (including without limitation, any other agreement referred to in the second sentence of Section 4 hereof).

6. Adverse Claims. The Financial Institution does not know of any Liens, claims or encumbrances relating to the Deposit Account.

b. This Agreement is the valid and legally binding obligation of the Financial Institution.
9. Indemnification of Financial Institution.

10. Successors; Assignment. The terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors or heirs and personal representatives who obtain such rights solely by operation of law.
