The Borrowing Base shall be calculated by Lender upon receipt from Borrower of the Borrowing Base Certificate and all supporting documentation required under this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3 below. Upon written request by Borrower, Lender will provide a Borrowing Base calculation to Borrower setting forth its determination of the Borrowing Base, which calculation will be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowing Base as determined by Lender will become effective upon calculation by Lender and will remain in effect until a new Borrowing Base is calculated by Lender in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) A subline facility (“Non-Borrowing Base Subline”) for Borrower’s working capital under which the maximum aggregate principal amount that may be outstanding at any given time under the Non-Borrowing Base Subline shall not exceed Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00); provided, however, commencing on June 30, 2012, until the Maturity Date for the Non-Borrowing Base Subline, the maximum aggregate principal amount that may be outstanding at any given time under the Non-Borrowing Base Subline shall not exceed Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00). The Non-Borrowing Base Subline shall not be subject to the Borrowing Base requirements.

(b) Each Advance shall be made upon the irrevocable written request of Borrower received by Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. (California time) on the Business Day such Advance is to be made. Each such notice shall specify the date such Advance is to be made, which day shall be a Business Day, and the amount of such Advance, and shall comply with such other requirements as Lender determines are reasonable or desirable in connection therewith.

4. PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS.

4.1 Overadvance. If, at any time and for any reason, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Advances and Obligations exceeds the lesser of (i) the Credit Limit, or (ii) the maximum principal amount permitted to be outstanding with respect to each of the Borrowing Base Subline and Non-Borrowing Base Subline (an “Overadvance”), Borrower shall immediately pay Lender, in cash, the amount of such Overadvance.

Lender may apply such payments to the outstanding Advances or Obligations in such order and manner as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine.

4.2 Maturity Dates. On the respective Maturity Dates, Borrower shall pay and perform in full all outstanding Advances and all other Obligations, whether for principal, interest, costs, fees or otherwise.

7.4 Title to Collateral. Borrower is now, and will at all times in the future, be the sole owner of all the Collateral, except for items of Equipment which are leased by Borrower. Borrower has rights in and the power to transfer the Collateral. The Collateral is now, and will remain, free and clear of any and all liens, charges, security interests, encumbrances and adverse claims. Lender has now, and will continue to have, a first-priority perfected and enforceable security interest in all of the Collateral, and Borrower will at all times defend Lender and the Collateral against all claims of others. Borrower is not and will not become a lessee under any real property lease which does, or will, prohibit, restrain, impair Borrower’s right to remove any Collateral from the leased premises. Borrower will keep in full force and effect, and will comply with all the terms of, any lease of real property where any of the Collateral now or in the future may be located. If any Collateral is or becomes the subject of any registration certificate, certificate of deposit or negotiable document of title, including any warehouse receipt or bill of lading, Borrower shall immediately deliver such document to Lender, together with any necessary endorsements.

7.5 Maintenance and Preservation of Collateral. Borrower will maintain and preserve the Collateral in good working condition, and Borrower will not use the Collateral for any unlawful purpose. Borrower will immediately advise Lender in writing of any material loss or damage to the Collateral or any event which affects the value of the Collateral, the ability of Borrower or Lender to dispose of the Collateral, or the rights and remedies of Lender in relation thereto, including, but not limited to, the levy of any legal process against any Collateral and the adoption of any marketing order, arrangement or procedure affecting the Collateral, whether governmental or otherwise.

Without waiving Borrower’s default for failure to make any such payment, Lender at its option may pay any such Collateral Costs, and discharge encumbrances on the Collateral, and such Collateral Costs payments shall be a part of the Obligations and bear interest at the rate set out in this Agreement. Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender on demand for any Collateral Costs so incurred. Until Lender exercises its rights to make collection, Borrower will diligently collect all Collateral.

Between the last date covered by any such statement provided to Lender and the date hereof, there has been no Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is now and will continue to be Solvent.

instituted and conducted, (b) notifies Lender in writing of the commencement of, and any material development in, the proceedings, and (c) posts bonds or takes any other steps required to keep the contested taxes from becoming a lien upon any of the Collateral. As of the date hereof, Borrower is unaware of any claims or adjustments proposed for any of Borrower’s prior tax years which could result in additional taxes becoming due and payable by Borrower. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower has paid, and shall continue to pay all amounts necessary to fund all present and future pension, profit sharing and deferred compensation plans in accordance with their terms; and Borrower has not and will not withdraw from participation in, permit partial or complete termination of, or permit the occurrence of any other event with respect to, any such plan which could result in any liability of Borrower, including any liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or its successors or any other governmental agency.

Borrower will promptly inform Lender in writing of any Material Litigation not already disclosed by Borrower to Lender in writing as of the date of this Agreement.

Such written consent shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender and shall provide that Lender has no liability to such owner, holder of any lien, or any other person;

9.10 Primary Operating Account. Until such time as all of Borrower’s Advances have been paid in full and this Agreement has been terminated, Borrower agrees to maintain Borrower’s Primary Operating Account at Lender.

10.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender, at its option, and without notice or demand of any kind (all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower), may do any one or more of the following:

(a) Cease making any Advances under this Agreement or otherwise extending credit to Borrower under this Agreement or any other document or agreement;

(b) Accelerate and declare all or any part of the Obligations to be immediately due, payable and performable, notwithstanding any deferred or installment payments allowed by any instrument evidencing or relating to any Obligation;

(d) Take possession of, or obtain the appointment of a receiver to take control of, any or all of the Collateral wherever it may be found. For that purpose Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to enter onto any of Borrower’s premises without interference to take possession of any of the Collateral, and remain on the premises, without charge for so long as Lender deems it reasonably necessary in order to complete the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement.

(e) Require Borrower to assemble any or all of the Collateral and make it available to Lender at places designated by Lender which are reasonably convenient to Lender and Borrower;

(f) Complete the processing or repair of any Collateral prior to a disposition thereof; and, for such purpose and for the purpose of removal, Lender shall have the right to use Borrower’s premises, vehicles and other equipment and all other property without charge. Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling or otherwise disposing of any Collateral as provided in the Code;

(g) Sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral as provided in the Code, in its condition at the time Lender obtains possession of it or after further manufacturing, processing or repair, at one or more public and/or private dispositions, in lots or in bulk, for cash, exchange or other property, or on credit, and to adjourn any such sale from time to time without notice other than oral announcement at the time scheduled for sale. Lender shall have the right to conduct such disposition on Borrower’s premises without charge, for such time or times as Lender deems reasonable, or on Lender’s premises, or elsewhere and the Collateral need not be located at the place of disposition. Lender may directly or through any affiliated company purchase or lease any Collateral at any such public disposition, and if permissible under applicable law, at any private disposition. Any sale, lease, license or other disposition of Collateral shall not relieve Borrower of any liability Borrower may have if any Collateral is defective as to title or physical condition or otherwise at the time of sale;

(h) Demand payment of, and collect any Receivables and General Intangibles comprising Collateral and, in connection therewith, Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to endorse or sign Borrower’s name on all collections, receipts, instruments and other documents, and, in Lender’s sole discretion, to grant extensions of time to pay, compromise claims and settle Receivables and the like for less than face value; and

(i) Demand and receive possession of any of Borrower’s federal and state income tax returns and the books and records utilized in the preparation thereof or referring thereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not dispose of any trademarks, trade names, copyrights, registrations, licenses, franchises or customer lists except in connection with foreclosure upon substantially all of Borrower’s assets as provided in the Code.

All expenses, costs, liabilities and obligations incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ Fees and Costs with respect to the foregoing) shall be due from Borrower to Lender on demand. Lender may charge the same to Borrower’s Loan Account, and the same shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate as is applicable in this Agreement.

10.3 Standards for Determining Commercial Reasonableness.

(a) Borrower and Lender agree that any disposition, as defined in the code (“disposition”) of any Collateral which complies with the following standards will conclusively be deemed to be commercially reasonable:

(i) Notice of the disposition is given to Borrower at least ten (10) days prior to the sale, and, in the case of a public sale, notice of the sale is published at least ten (10) days before the sale in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the sale is to be conducted;

(ii) Notice of the disposition describes the Collateral in general, non-specific terms;

(iii) The disposition is conducted at a place designated by Lender, with or without the Collateral being present;

(iv) The disposition commences at any time between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Los Angeles, CA time; and

(v) With respect to any disposition of any of the Collateral, Lender may (but is not obligated to) direct any prospective purchaser to ascertain directly from Borrower any and all information concerning the same.

(b) Lender shall be free to employ other methods of noticing and disposing of the Collateral, in its discretion.

(c) Lender shall have no obligation to attempt to satisfy the Obligations by collecting them from any third Person which may be liable for them or any portion thereof, and Lender may release, modify or waive any collateral provided by any other third Person as security for the Obligation or any portion thereof, all without affecting Lender’s rights against Borrower. Borrower waives any right it may have to require Lender to pursue any third Person for any of the Obligations.

(d) Lender may comply with any applicable state or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, and Lender’s compliance therewith will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(e) Lender may dispose of the Collateral without giving any warranties as to the Collateral. Lender may specifically disclaim any warranties of title or the like. This procedure will not be considered to adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral.

(f) If Lender disposes of any of the Collateral upon credit, Borrower will be credited only with payments actually made by the purchaser, received by Lender and applied to the indebtedness of the purchaser. In the event that the purchaser fails to pay for the Collateral, Lender may resell the Collateral and Borrower will be credited with the proceeds of such disposition.

10.4 Power of Attorney.

(a) Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest, authorizing and permitting Lender (acting through any of its employees, attorneys or agents) at any time, at its option, but without obligation, with or without notice to Borrower, and at Borrower’s expense, to do any or all of the following, in Borrower’s name or otherwise, but Lender agrees to exercise the following powers in a commercially reasonable manner:

(i) Execute on behalf of Borrower any documents that Lender may, in its sole discretion, deem advisable in order to perfect and maintain Lender’s security interest in the Collateral, or in order to exercise a right of Borrower or Lender, or in order to fully consummate all the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and all other present and future agreements;

(iv) Take control in any manner of any cash or non-cash items of payment or proceeds of Collateral; endorse the name of Borrower upon any instruments, or documents, evidence of payment or Collateral that may come into Lender’s possession;

(b) Any and all sums paid and any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred pursuant to bankruptcy) with respect to the foregoing shall be added to and become part of the Obligations, and shall be payable on demand. Lender may charge the foregoing to Borrower’s Loan Account and the foregoing shall thereafter bear interest at the same rate specified in this Agreement. In no event shall Lender’s rights under the foregoing power of attorney or any of Lender’s other rights under this Agreement be deemed to indicate that Lender is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower.

(c) Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold Lender and each of its officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, and attorneys-in-fact (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, and damages, and all attorneys fees and disbursements and other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them in connection with, or as a result of, or related to: (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, and administration of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated herein, or (ii) any investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the use of the proceeds of the Loan provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or (iv) any act, omission, event or circumstance in any manner related thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”).

(d) Borrower shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liability that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the negligence or misconduct of such Indemnified Person. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Obligations.

10.5 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds realized as the result of any sale of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender, first, to the costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations and attorneys’ fees incurred by Lender in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, second, to the interest due upon any of the Obligations, and, third, to the principal of the Obligations, in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Any surplus shall be paid to Borrower or other persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to Lender for any deficiency.

10.6 Remedies Cumulative. In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement, Lender shall have all the other rights and remedies accorded a secured party in equity and under all other applicable laws, and under any other instrument or agreement now or in the future entered into between Lender and Borrower, and all of such rights and remedies are cumulative and none is exclusive. Exercise or partial exercise by Lender of one or more of its rights or remedies shall not be deemed an election, nor bar Lender from subsequent exercise or partial exercise of any other rights or remedies. The failure or delay of Lender to exercise any rights or remedies shall not operate as a waiver thereof, but all rights and remedies shall continue in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed.

11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

SECURITY AGREEMENT

(ASSIGNMENT OF DEPOSIT ACCOUNT)

For value received, AMPHASTAR PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Assignor”), hereby assigns, pledges, and transfers to CATHAY BANK, a California banking corporation (“Lender”), and to its successors and assigns, all of Assignor’s right, title, and interest in and to that certain demand deposit account with Lender in the name of “Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, Inc.” and maintained at Lender, Account No. 11041633 (the “Deposit Account”), together with all monies or proceeds due or to become due under said Deposit Account, and all sums due or to become due thereon or therefrom by way of interest, repayments or otherwise and all proceeds thereof (collectively, the “Collateral”). This Security Agreement (Assignment of Deposit Account) (“Agreement”) is the “Assignment of Deposit Account Agreement” described in that certain Revolving Loan and Security Agreement dated April 10, 2012 , by and between Assignor and Lender (together with any and all amendments, modifications or supplements thereto, the “Loan Agreement”), and the Deposit Account is the “Borrower’s Primary Operating Account” described in the Loan Agreement.

1. Obligations Defined. This assignment, pledge and transfer is given to Lender by Assignor as collateral security for all of the following obligations (individually and collectively, the “Obligations”): all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations now or hereafter owing to Lender by Assignor of any kind and description pursuant to or evidenced by the Loan Agreement or any other instruments or documents executed in connection therewith, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and howsoever evidenced, no matter how arising; all amounts advanced or incurred by Lender on account of Assignor under the terms of this Agreement or for the maintenance or preservation of the Collateral; any and all amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions of Obligations including those evidenced by new or additional agreements or instruments changing the rate of interest or adding or releasing any third party on the Obligations; and all costs of collection, including fees and expenses in connection with the protection or realization of the Collateral or the enforcement of this Agreement, the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement), the instruments, other notes, or other agreements evidencing the Obligations, whether or not suit is filed.

2. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Assignor represents, warrants, and covenants that: Assignor is the owner of the above-described Collateral, and that such Collateral is free and clear of all liens and encumbrances of any nature whatsoever except for the lien in favor of Lender securing the obligations of Assignor to Lender; Assignor has not made any prior assignment or transfer of said Deposit Account or other Collateral, and shall not make any further assignment or transfer thereof during the term of this Agreement; Assignor has not withdrawn, canceled, been repaid, or redeemed all or any part thereof; there is no pending application for the withdrawal, cancellation, repayment, or redemption thereof; and this Agreement is valid, binding, and enforceable.

3. Extent of Security Interest. This Agreement is a continuing security agreement, securing all Obligations, including those arising after any repayment and reborrowing and those arising under successive and future transactions which shall increase, renew or modify the Obligations; it is without limitation as to its effective period and the Obligations hereunder may be terminated only upon payment in full of all Obligations or the termination or expiration of

Lender’s obligation to extend credit to Assignor. Each credit granted to Assignor, including all present and future Obligations or the termination or expiration of Lender’s obligation to extend credit to Assignor, is and shall be granted by Lender in reliance on this Agreement. This Agreement shall not constitute a commitment of any nature by Lender to renew or hereafter extend credit.

4. Restrictions on Deposit Account. Assignor’s rights to withdraw, access or otherwise utilize all or any portion of the funds now or hereafter deposited in the Deposit Account shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.

5. Power of Attorney. Assignor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender the true and lawful attorney of Assignor, with full power of substitution: to demand, collect, and receive payment of any and all monies or proceeds due or to become due under said Deposit Account and the other Collateral; to execute any and all instruments required for the withdrawal or repayment of same, or any part thereof; to insert in any instrument for the withdrawal of funds signed by Assignor the date and amount due under said Deposit Account and other Collateral, and to complete such instruments in any respect and in all respects to deal with said Deposit Account and other Collateral as the holder thereof; and, in its discretion, file any claim or take any other action or proceeding, either in its own name or in the name of Assignor, or otherwise, which Lender may deem necessary or appropriate to protect and preserve the right, title, assignment, pledge, transfer, and interest of Lender hereunder. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied in full.

6. Financing Statements and Other Documents. Assignor hereby agrees to permit Lender to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and any amendments thereto, all without Assignor’s signature, where permitted by law, to perfect the security interest granted herein. Assignor agrees to sign such financing statements and other documents if requested by Lender. Any filing fees associated with the security interest granted herein charged by a public officer shall be for Assignor’s account and, if paid by Lender, shall be payable by Assignor to Lender upon demand.

7. Delivery of Documents. Assignor hereby agrees to deliver and does hereby pledge to Lender all written evidence of the Deposit Account and other Collateral, including, without limitation, all bank passbooks, certificates of deposit, and savings certificates with respect thereto. Lender is authorized at any time or times to notify each issuer or obligor with respect to the Deposit Account and other Collateral of the assignment, pledge, and transfer thereof to Lender, and to direct such issuer or obligor to mark its records accordingly. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such further agreements, documents, assignments, and notices, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, as Lender may request in its discretion in order to effectuate the purposes hereof.

8. Authorization. Either before or after termination of this Agreement, Assignor authorizes Lender, at its sole discretion, with notice, and without affecting Assignor’s continuing liability hereunder, from time to time, to: (i) apply any sums received from Assignor, or from the sale or foreclosure of Collateral, to any, all, or any portion of the Obligations in any order, regardless of whether the Obligations are due and payable; (ii) exercise any right or remedy it may have with respect to any Obligations, or any other collateral securing any of the Obligations,

this Agreement, or any guaranty of the Obligations, including bidding and purchasing at any sale of any such collateral, and compromising, collecting or otherwise liquidating any such collateral or any of the Obligations, and/or (iii) make such payments and perform such acts as Lender may deem necessary to preserve and insure the Collateral or its value or Lender’s security interest, including, without limitation, any action which Assignor shall have agreed to take pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

9. Default and Remedies. The following acts or omissions shall each constitute a default under this Agreement: (a) Assignor breaches any term or condition of this Agreement; (b) any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement is false or misleading; (c) Assignor defaults on, or fails to perform any of, the Obligations; or (d) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) occurs under the Loan Agreement.

In addition to any other authorizations and rights of Lender with respect to the Deposit Account or any other Collateral, and without limiting anything else stated herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence of a default hereunder and so long as such default remains uncured, Lender may, at its option, prohibit any withdrawals or reductions from the Deposit Account and other Collateral (to the extent any such withdrawals or reductions are at any time permitted hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents) and exercise any and/or all of its rights and remedies under the California Commercial Code, and as otherwise granted hereunder, or at law, or in equity, including, without limitation, the withdrawal of any and all amounts in the Deposit Account, the sale or other disposition of the Collateral and/or the giving of notice to third parties in possession of the Collateral to turn over the Collateral to Lender. Lender shall have all rights, powers, privileges, and remedies of a secured party under the California Commercial Code, or other applicable law, with respect to the Collateral. All of the rights and remedies of the Lender are cumulative and not alternative.

Assignor consents to the jurisdiction of any competent state or federal court within that state.

11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms as if the unenforceable provision was not included herein.

(f) This Agreement and the Collateral are assignable in whole or in part by Lender with any one and/or several of the Obligations and, when so assigned, Assignor shall be bound to the assignees on the same terms as set herein without affecting Assignor’s liability hereunder with respect to any of the Collateral not so assigned.

(g) All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be made to Lender and to Assignor as provided in the Loan Agreement.
