the Bonds are being issued for the benefit of Neose Technologies, Inc. (the
"Borrower"), this irrevocable letter of credit ("this Letter of Credit") in the
aggregate amount of $8,579,967.12 (as from time to time reduced and reinstated
as provided in this Letter of Credit, the "Letter of Credit Amount"). Such
Letter of Credit Amount shall be available for drawing by you as set forth below

due under this Letter of Credit).
2. This Letter of Credit shall expire at 5:00 p.m. local time
in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the date (the "Expiration Date") which is the

3. Subject to the provisions of this Letter of Credit, demands
for payment under this Letter of Credit may be made by you from time to time
prior to the Expiration Date by presentation of your certificate in the form of
(a) Annex 1 hereto, appropriately completed and executed, in the case of a
drawing for interest on the Bonds under Section 5.04 of the Indenture (an
"Interest Drawing"), (b) Annex 2 hereto, appropriately completed and executed,
in the case of a drawing for principal of the Bonds under Section 5.04 (if less
than all of the Outstanding Bonds are being redeemed) of the Indenture (a

of the Indenture or upon acceleration of the Outstanding Bonds under Section
7.03 of the Indenture (the "Final Payment Drawing") (each such demand and
presentation, a "Drawing"). Payment against conforming documents presented under
this Letter of Credit prior to 12:00 noon on any Business Day shall be made by
us at or before 10:00 a.m. on the next succeeding Business Day or, in the case
of presentation after 12:00 noon, at or before 3:00 p.m. on the next succeeding

against an Interest Drawing, the Interest Component
shall be reinstated automatically as of our opening of
business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the third

an amount equal to the amount of such Interest
-2-
Drawing, unless you shall have received notice from us
by tested telex or in writing not later than the close

occurred under the Participation and Reimbursement
Agreement dated as of March 1, 1997 between the
Participating Bank and us, or (ii) we have received
notice that an Event of Default has occurred under the
Reimbursement Agreement dated as of March 1, 1997

either case you shall declare the principal of the
outstanding Bonds (as defined in the Indenture) due and
payable.
b. In the case of a reduction resulting from payment
against a Liquidity Drawing with regard to any Bonds,
the Principal Component and, if applicable, the Interest
Component with respect to such Bonds shall be reinstated
(i) automatically when and to the extent that both (A)
we have received reimbursement for such drawing in
immediately available funds and the Participating Bank
has notified us that it has received reimbursement from
the Borrower therefor (or you have received immediately
available funds which, pursuant to Section 4.05 of the
Indenture, you will immediately remit to us as
reimbursement for such drawing, such funds to be
remitted to the attention of our Letter of Credit
Department stating that they are repayments for
Liquidity Drawings drawn under CoreStates Bank, N.A.
Irrevocable Letter of Credit No. LC#_______) and (B) you
have delivered to us a certificate in respect of such
reinstatement in the form of Annex 5 attached hereto,
appropriately completed and executed, or (ii) when

such reinstatement except as provided in clause (i) of
this sentence. We will give telephonic confirmation (to
be further confirmed in writing) to you of each
reinstatement pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding
sentence.
c. The Principal Component and the Interest Component shall
otherwise be reinstated as we may from time to time
notify you in writing.
6. The Letter of Credit Amount and the respective Principal
and Interest Components thereof shall be reduced automatically, without notice
to you, upon our receipt from you of a certificate in the form of Annex 6
attached hereto appropriately completed and executed, each such reduction to be
(a) in the amounts necessary to reduce the Letter of Credit Amount and
-3-
the Principal and Interest Components thereof to the respective amounts
specified by you in such certificate and (b) effective on the Business Day on
which we receive such certificate from you.
7. All documents presented to us in connection with any
Drawing, and all other communications and notices to us with respect to this
Letter of Credit, shall be in writing, dated the date of presentation and
delivered to us at the address set forth on the letterhead of this Letter of
Credit and shall specifically refer to "CoreStates Bank, N.A. Irrevocable Letter
