This Security Agreement is effective as of February 19, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). Reference is made to that certain Prepaid Forward Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”).

 

WHEREAS, Seller and Buyer have entered into the Purchase Agreement, whereby Buyer is providing funding for Seller for, inter alia, operating expenses and costs associated with the Monetization of the Patents and to allow Buyer to receive a portion of the Proceeds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and

 

WHEREAS, in order to secure the payment, fulfillment, and performance by Seller of its obligations under the Investment Documents, Seller has agreed to grant to Buyer a continuing first-priority security interest in and to all of the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to this Security Agreement;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Definitions. For purposes of this Security Agreement, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement, and the following terms shall have the following meanings:

 

Bankruptcy Code” means the United States Bankruptcy Code Title 11, U.S. Code, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 

Collateral” means all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the following property of Seller, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located: (i) the Proceeds (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); (ii) the Patents; (iii) all General Intangibles now or hereafter arising from or related to the foregoing; and (iv) Proceeds (including, without limitation, Cash Proceeds and insurance proceeds) and products of the foregoing.

 

Encumbrance” means any existing or prospective mortgage, pledge, lien, security or ownership interest, charge, hypothecation, or other encumbrance, option agreement, transfer, termination, compromise, set-off right, security or subordination arrangement, adverse claim, or other similar interest or arrangement of any kind.

 

Obligations” means all present and future obligations of Seller to Buyer of any kind or nature, including, without limitation: (i) Seller’s obligations to Buyer under the Investment Documents, including payment of the Investment Return, and any claims for breach of any of the Investment Documents; (ii) the repayment of (a) any amounts that Buyer may advance or spend for the maintenance, preservation or enforcement of the Collateral and Buyer’s rights under the Investment Documents, and (b) any other expenditures that Buyer may make under or in connection with this Security Agreement and the enforcement thereof; (iii) all amounts owed under any modifications, renewals or extensions of any of the foregoing obligations; and (iv) any of the foregoing that arises after the filing of a petition by or against Seller under the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, any amounts which would accrue and become due but for the commencement of such petition).

 

 

 

 

Patents” means all patents, patent applications and/or other related assets assigned to or acquired by or on behalf of Seller or any Affiliate thereof.

 

UCC” means the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York, as may be amended from time to time; provided that, if perfection or the effect of perfection or non-perfection or the priority of any security interest in the Collateral or the availability of any remedy is governed by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in a jurisdiction other than the State of New York, then UCC means the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in such other jurisdiction for purposes of the provisions hereof related to such perfection, effect of perfection or non-perfection or priority or availability of such remedy, as the case may be.

For the avoidance of doubt, Seller authorizes Buyer’s indication of the Collateral pursuant to UCC § 9-504(2). Seller shall do all things necessary so that at all times Buyer will have a valid, first-priority continuing lien and security interest in and to the Collateral.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have any right to file a release of Buyer’s filed UCC Financing Statements prior to the indefeasible payment in full of all of the Obligations to Buyer.

 

8. Severability. In the event any provision of this Security Agreement is deemed to be unenforceable or contrary to public policy, such provision shall be severable, and the remainder of this Security Agreement shall remain in effect and enforceable to the greatest possible extent.
