2.4 Waivers.
(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Secured Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by Secured Creditors upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guaranty contained in this Section 2. The Secured Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2, and all dealings between Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any Secured Creditor, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guaranty contained in this Section 2. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives (a) diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default, dishonor or nonpayment and all other notices whatsoever to or upon Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Secured Obligations, (b) notice of the existence or creation or non-payment of all or any of the Secured Obligations and (c) all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Secured Obligations or any security for or guaranty of any Secured Obligations.
(b) Upon the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, Secured Creditors in their sole discretion, without prior notice to or consent of any Guarantor, may elect to: (i) foreclose either judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property security it may hold for the Secured Obligations under the Transaction Documents or the Milestone Agreement, (ii) accept a transfer of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, (iii) compromise or adjust the Secured Obligations or any part of it or make any other accommodation with Borrower or Guarantors, or (iv) exercise any other remedy against any Grantor or any security. No such action by Secured Creditors shall release or limit the liability of any Guarantor, who shall remain liable under this Guaranty after the action, even if the effect of the action is to deprive such Guarantor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any Grantor for any sums paid to Secured Creditors, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that under no circumstances shall it be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by Secured Creditors or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Secured Obligations.
(c) Each Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if a Secured Creditor forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Secured Obligations, that foreclosure could impair or destroy any ability that such Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right each Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Guarantor under this guaranty. Each Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this Section, such potential impairment or destruction of such Guarantor’s rights, if any, may entitle such Guarantor to assert a defense to this guaranty based on Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure as interpreted in Union Bank x. Xxxxxxx, 265 Cal.App.2d 40 (1968). By executing this guaranty, each Guarantor freely, irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this guaranty even though Lender may foreclose judicially or nonjudicially against any real property security for the Loan; (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which any Secured Creditor may commence to enforce this guaranty; (iii) acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by each Guarantor under this guaranty include any right or defense that such Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of
- 8 -
Civil Procedure or Section 2848 of the California Civil Code; and (iv) acknowledges and agrees that each Secured Creditor is relying on this waiver in purchasing the Notes or the Milestone Rights, as applicable, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration which each Secured Creditor is receiving for paying the purchase price for the Notes and the Milestone Rights.
(d) Each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses that are or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the California Civil Code.
(e) Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i) Secured Creditor may collect from any Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or another Guarantor.
(ii) If any Secured Creditor forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower or any Guarantor:
(A) The amount of the Secured Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price.
(B) Secured Creditor may collect from such Guarantor even if Secured Creditor, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.
This Section is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Guarantor may have because the Secured Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
Each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.
2.5 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guaranties that payments hereunder will be paid to Secured Creditors without set-off or counterclaim in Dollars at the office of Secured Creditors specified in the Facility Agreement and Milestone Agreement, as applicable.
| SECTION 3 | GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. |
3.1 Grant. Each Grantor hereby grants to Secured Creditors, a continuing security interest in all of its Collateral, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lien or security interest is hereby granted on any Excluded Property and the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations to Milestone Creditors shall be limited to the Product Intellectual Property, Product Regulatory Rights and all Proceeds thereof. Upon the Secured Obligations to Purchasers under the Facility Agreement and in respect of the Notes being Paid in Full, the Collateral shall be released and Secured Creditors’ Liens terminated automatically without any further action.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Creditors, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than defense of payment), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of a Secured Creditor or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Secured Creditors 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 the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at Secured Creditors’ request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Secured Creditors at places which Secured Creditors shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere.

6.7 Sale of Pledged Equity.
(a) Each Grantor recognizes that Secured Creditors may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Equity, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees
- 19 -
that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Secured Creditors shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.
(b) Each Grantor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 6.7 valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7 will cause irreparable injury to Secured Creditors, that Secured Creditors have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 6.7 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Facility Agreement or Milestone Agreement.
