Grappled creatures cannot make attacks of opportunity.
A grappled creature takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and combat maneuver checks, except those made to grapple or escape a grapple.
Grappled creatures cannot move and take a –4 penalty to Dexterity.

does the -4 penalty to dexterity stack with the -2 to combat maneuver checks? so you'd have a -4 CMD?

if a dire bear is grappling a PC. And another PC bull rushes the bear, away from the grappled PC, does that break the grapple?
