It is a condition to the Securities Purchase Agreement that the parties hereto enter into this Agreement to grant a security interest in the Collateral (as defined herein).

Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth on Exhibit A or ascribed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Notes (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). All other terms contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated, shall have the meaning provided by the Code to the extent such terms are defined therein.

2. CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

 

2.1 Grant of Security Interest. Each Grantor hereby grants to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Buyers, to secure the payment and performance in full of all of the Obligations, a continuing security interest in, and pledges to Collateral Agent, the Collateral, wherever located, whether now owned or hereafter acquired or arising, and all proceeds and products thereof. If the Securities Purchase Agreement is terminated, Collateral Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) are repaid in full in cash.

 

 

 

 

2.2 Priority of Security Interest. Each Grantor represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Notes to have superior priority to Collateral Agent’s Lien under the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Notes and assuming Collateral Agent timely takes all actions required by the Code, or other applicable laws, to perfect and to maintain the perfection of such security interest). If a Grantor shall acquire a commercial tort claim with a potential recovery in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), such Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent in writing and deliver such other information and documents as Collateral Agent may reasonably require to take any further action necessary or advisable to perfect Collateral Agent’s Lien in such commercial tort claim. If a Grantor shall acquire an instrument whose value exceeds Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000), then such Grantor shall promptly notify Collateral Agent and deliver the same together with an instrument of transfer and any necessary endorsement, all in form satisfactory to Collateral Agent.

 

2.3 Authorization to File Financing Statements. Each Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent to file at any time financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect Collateral Agent’s interest or rights hereunder. Such financing statements may describe the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor.

 

2.4 Pledge of Equity Interests. Each Grantor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Collateral Agent a security interest in all the Equity Interests in which such Grantor has any interest, provided that if the pledge of all of the Equity Interests of any Subsidiary not organized in the United States would result in adverse tax consequences to any Grantor, then the pledge of the Equity Interests of such Subsidiary not organized in the United States shall be limited to 65% of the total issued and outstanding voting Equity Interests of such Subsidiary, together with all proceeds and substitutions thereof, all cash, stock and other moneys and property paid thereon, all rights to subscribe for securities declared or granted in connection therewith, and all other cash and noncash proceeds of the foregoing, as security for the performance of the Obligations. On the Closing Date, the certificate or certificates for such Equity Interests (if any), to the extent certificated, will be delivered to Collateral Agent, accompanied by a stock power or other appropriate instrument of assignment duly executed in blank. To the extent required by the terms and conditions governing the Equity Interests in which a Grantor has an interest, upon request by the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall cause the books of each Person whose Equity Interests are part of the Collateral and any transfer agent to reflect the pledge of the Equity Interests. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, Collateral Agent may effect the transfer of any securities included in the Collateral (including but not limited to the Equity Interests) into the name of Collateral Agent and cause new certificates representing such securities to be issued in the name of Collateral Agent or its transferee. Each Grantor will execute and deliver such documents, and take or cause such actions to be taken, as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to perfect or continue the perfection of Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Equity Interests. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any voting rights with respect to the Equity Interests in which it has an interest and to give consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof, provided that after notice from Collateral Agent following an Event of Default or if a Grantor has commenced an Insolvency Proceeding, such Grantor’s rights to exercise voting rights with respect to such Equity Interests shall be automatically terminated, and in any event, no vote shall be cast or consent, waiver or ratification given or action taken which would be inconsistent with any of the terms of the Transaction Documents or which would constitute or create any violation of any of such terms.

2.5 Intellectual Property.

 

(a) At the request of Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall promptly execute and deliver a separate security agreement with respect to Grantor’s Intellectual Property, including any Licensed IP to the extent assignable or in which a security interest may be granted (“Intellectual Property Security Agreement”), substantially in a form acceptable to Collateral Agent. Each Grantor hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office (and any successor office and any similar office in any United States state or other country) any such Intellectual Property Security Agreement, and other documents for the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the security interest granted by such Grantor hereunder, without the signature of a Grantor where permitted by law, and naming such Grantor as debtor, and Collateral Agent as secured party. On or prior to the Closing Date, each Grantor shall obtain any consent required under an exclusive license agreement material to the Collateral, including the licenses from GoQuantum SpA, Lakes Environmental USA Inc., Qombat Ltd. and WiseP2P OU, to permit the grant of a security interest in such Grantor’s rights thereunder to Collateral Agent.

 

3. Covenants; REPRESENTATIONS

 

Each Grantor hereby agrees to do all of the following:

 

3.1 Insurance

 

(a) Ensure that proceeds in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) per occurrence payable under any property insurance policy with respect to Collateral are, at Collateral Agent’s option, payable to Collateral Agent. Proceeds below this threshold may be used by Grantors for repair or replacement, for the ratable benefit of Buyers, on account of the Obligations. To that end, all property policies shall have a lender’s loss payable endorsement showing Collateral Agent as lender loss payable, all liability policies shall show, or have endorsements showing, Collateral Agent as an additional insured, in each case, in form reasonably satisfactory to Collateral Agent and as set forth on Exhibit B.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Grantors shall have the option of applying the proceeds of any casualty policy up to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate per fiscal year toward the prompt replacement or repair of destroyed or damaged property; provided that any such replaced or repaired property (i) shall be of equal or like value as the replaced or repaired Collateral and (ii) shall be Collateral in which Collateral Agent has been granted a first priority security interest and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such proceeds shall, at the option of Collateral Agent, be payable to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Buyers, on account of the Obligations.

 

(c) At Collateral Agent’s request, each Grantor shall deliver certified copies of insurance policies and evidence of all premium payments. Each provider of any such insurance required under this Section 3.1 shall agree, by endorsement upon the policy or policies issued by it or by independent instruments furnished to Collateral Agent, that it will give Collateral Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice (or at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice for non-payment of premium) before any such policy or policies shall be canceled.

 

3

 

 

(d) If any Grantor fails to obtain insurance as required under this Section 3.1 or to pay any amount or furnish any required proof of payment upon Collateral Agent’s request, and such failure continues for fifteen (15) Business Days following written notice from Collateral Agent, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, Collateral Agent may make all or part of such payment or obtain such insurance policies required in this Section 3.1 and take any action under the policies as Collateral Agent deems prudent or may direct.

 

3.2 Collateral Accounts.

 

Provide Collateral Agent written notice within three (3) Business Days after establishing any Collateral Account at or with any bank, broker or other financial institution identifying the name, address of each bank or other institution, the name in which the account is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor, provided that no balance or assets shall be transferred to such new Collateral Account prior to obtaining an Account Control Agreement as required in accordance with this Section. For each Collateral Account that any Grantor at any time maintains except Excluded Accounts, such Grantor shall cause the applicable bank, broker or financial institution at or with which any Collateral Account is maintained to execute and deliver an Account Control Agreement or other appropriate instrument with respect to such Collateral Account to perfect Collateral Agent’s Lien in such Collateral Account in accordance with the terms hereunder. Except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate or in a notice timely delivered pursuant to this Section 3.2, no Grantor shall have any Collateral Accounts at or with any bank, broker or other financial institution, and each Grantor has taken such actions as are necessary to give Collateral Agent a perfected security interest therein as required pursuant to the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any Account Control Agreement, Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not deliver or issue any notice of exclusive control, entitlement order or other instruction to any depositary institution, securities intermediary or commodity intermediary directing such institution to comply solely with instructions originated by the Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral Account (each, an “Exclusive Control Notice”) unless an Event of Default has occurred; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to the Blocked DACA Account or any other Account Control Agreement that by its terms prohibits Grantor access to the applicable account.

 

3.3 Property Locations.

 

(a) Provide to Collateral Agent at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice before adding any new offices or business or Collateral locations, including warehouses (unless such new offices or business or Collateral locations qualify as Excluded Locations).

 

(b) With respect to any property or assets of a Grantor located with a third party, including a bailee, datacenter or warehouse (other than Excluded Locations), such Grantor shall, if requested in writing by Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver a Collateral Access Agreement for such location, including an acknowledgment from each of the third parties that it is holding or will hold such property, subject to Collateral Agent’s security interest. The Grantors shall ensure that (i) the Collateral is located only at the locations identified in the Perfection Certificate and other Permitted Locations and (ii) the Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate.

 

4

 

 

(c) With respect to any property or assets of a Grantor located on leased premises (other than Excluded Locations), such Grantor shall, if requested in writing by Collateral Agent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third party to execute and deliver a Collateral Access Agreement for such location.

 

3.4 Equipment.

 

(a) With respect to any Equipment that operates using embedded proprietary software subject to a license from the manufacturer or a third party and that is material to the business of the Grantors, each Grantor shall (i) maintain all such software licenses in full force and effect and (ii) promptly notify Collateral Agent of any default, termination, or threatened termination of any such license.

 

3.5 Perfection Certificate.

 

(a) In connection with this Agreement, each Grantor has delivered to Collateral Agent a completed certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company entitled “Perfection Certificate” (as updated from time to time pursuant to this Section 3.5, the “Perfection Certificate”). Except to the extent the Company has provided notice thereof in accordance with Section 3.5(b), each Grantor shall ensure that (i) each Grantor’s exact legal name is that indicated on the Perfection Certificate and on the signature page hereof; (ii) each Grantor is an organization of the type and is organized in the jurisdiction set forth in the Perfection Certificate; (iii) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each Grantor’s organizational identification number or accurately states that such Grantor has none; (iv) the Perfection Certificate accurately sets forth each Grantor’s place of business, or, if more than one, its chief executive office or principal place of business as well as such Grantor’s mailing address (if different than its chief executive office or principal place of business); (v) except as set forth in the Perfection Certificate, each Grantor (and each of its predecessors) has not, in the past five (5) years, changed its jurisdiction of formation, organizational structure or type, or any organizational number assigned by its jurisdiction; and (vi) all other information set forth on the Perfection Certificate pertaining to each Grantor and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete in all material respects (it being understood and agreed that each Grantor may from time to time update certain information in the Perfection Certificate after the date hereof to the extent permitted by one or more specific provisions in this Agreement). No information need be provided in any Perfection Certificate with respect to a Subsidiary that is not a Material Subsidiary.

 

(b) No Grantor shall (i) engage in any business other than the businesses currently engaged, or currently proposed to be engaged in, by such Person, as applicable, or any line of business reasonably complementary, ancillary or otherwise related thereto; (ii) cease doing business, or liquidate or dissolve; or (iii) without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Collateral Agent, change its jurisdiction of organization, change its organizational structure or type, change its legal name, change its organizational number (if any) assigned by its jurisdiction of organization, or change its chief executive office or principal place of business.

 

(c) The Company shall deliver an updated Perfection Certificate within sixty (60) days of the end of each fiscal year.

 

5

 

 

3.6 Intellectual Property Matters.

 

(a) On or prior to the Closing Date (or such later date as Collateral Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), the Company shall (i) deliver to Collateral Agent copies of all material inventor conveyance, assignment and exclusive license agreements (including with GoQuantum SpA, Lakes Environmental USA Inc., Qombat Ltd. and WiseP2P OU) pursuant to which any Grantor holds record title to, or exclusive rights in, any Patents material to the Collateral, (ii) complete, or cause its outside patent counsel to complete, the recordation with the United States Patent and Trademark Office of all outstanding assignments of Patents from inventors, or any other prior applicant or assignee to a Grantor, and (iii) provide Collateral Agent with evidence of such recordation, including assignment reel and frame numbers where available, promptly upon completion.

 

3.7 Representations Regarding Collateral. Each Grantor jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Collateral Agent and each Buyer that the following are, and after giving effect to the Transaction Documents will be, true, correct and complete (it being agreed to and understood that the Grantors shall be deemed to have made and remade the following representations and warranties at the time of each extension of credit under the Notes):

 

(a) Each Grantor has good title to or valid leasehold interest in, rights in, and the power to transfer each item of the Collateral upon which it purports to grant a Lien pursuant to this Agreement, free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Liens.

 

(b) Except for the Collateral Accounts described in the Perfection Certificate or in a notice timely delivered pursuant to Section 3.2, no Grantor has any Collateral Accounts at or with any bank, broker or other financial institution, and each Grantor has taken such actions as are necessary to give Collateral Agent a perfected security interest therein as required pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Documents.

 

(c) The Collateral is located only at the locations identified in the Perfection Certificate and other Permitted Locations. The Collateral is not in the possession of any third party bailee (such as a warehouse) except as otherwise provided in the Perfection Certificate.

 

(d) Each Grantor is the sole owner of the Intellectual Property which it owns or purports to own and which is material to its business, except for (i) open-source software and, (ii) over-the-counter software that is commercially available to the public, and (iii) Licensed IP. With respect to any Licensed IP material to its business (including, without limitation, the technology licensed from GoQuantum SpA, Lakes Environmental USA Inc., Qombat Ltd. and WiseP2P OU), each Grantor holds a valid, exclusive, perpetual and irrevocable license or other similar right to use, develop, commercialize and sublicense such Licensed IP, each such license is in full force and effect, and no default exists thereunder. All Patents and patent applications owned or purported to be owned by any Grantor, including those historically prosecuted in the name of, or previously assigned by, any inventor, or any other prior applicant or assignee, have been, or are in the process of being, assigned to such Grantor, and such Grantor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such assignments to be recorded with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. No claim has been made that any part of the Intellectual Property, including any Licensed IP, violates the rights of any third party.

 

6

 

 

(e) Each Grantor represents and warrants that it has good and marketable title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all Equipment included in the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens. All Equipment included in the Collateral is located on premises that are owned or leased by a Grantor.

 

(f) The real estate listed in the Perfection Certificate constitutes all of the real estate of each Grantor. Each of the Grantors has good record title or valid leasehold interests in all real estate and personal property and valid leasehold interests in all leased personal property, except for Permitted Liens.

 

(g) All written information and certificates furnished by or on behalf of any Grantor to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document are, taken as a whole, true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date furnished and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

 

4. Collateral AGENT’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

4.1 Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent is entitled, at the direction of Required Holder, without notice or demand unless required by applicable law, to do any or all of the following:

 

(a) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that Collateral Agent may determine is advisable, and notify any Person owing each Grantor money of Collateral Agent’s security interest in such funds;

 

(b) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral;

 

(c) ratably apply to the Obligations any amount held by Collateral Agent owing to or for the credit or the account of each Grantor;

 

(d) ship, reclaim, recover, store, finish, maintain, repair, prepare for sale, advertise for sale, and sell the Collateral;

 

(e) deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Account Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral;

 

7

 

 

(f) demand and receive possession of any Grantor’s books and records; and

 

(g) exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent and Required Holder under the Transaction Documents or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the Code (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

 

Grantors shall assemble the Collateral if Collateral Agent requests and make it available as Collateral Agent designates. Collateral Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Effective only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor grants Collateral Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of Collateral Agent’s rights or remedies. Collateral Agent is hereby granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license or other right to use, without charge, such Grantor’s labels, Patents, Copyrights, mask works, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, Trademarks, and advertising matter, or any similar property as it pertains to the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale, and selling any Collateral and, in connection with Collateral Agent’s exercise of its rights under this Section, such Grantor’s rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements inure to Collateral Agent’s benefit. If, after the acceleration of the Indebtedness, any Grantor receives proceeds of Collateral, such Grantor shall deliver such proceeds to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Buyers, to be applied to the Obligations. Grantors shall fully cooperate with Collateral Agent to (i) submit any notices, filings, submissions, or other documents to enable Collateral Agent to exercise all rights and remedies available to Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including but not limited to submission of any change of ownership or information notices), and (ii) structure arrangements contemplated hereby in a manner that maximizes Collateral Agent’s rights in the Collateral to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law, including directing payments to Collateral Accounts.

 

4.2 Power of Attorney. Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Collateral Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable solely upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with prior written notice to the applicable Grantor, to: (a) send requests for verification of Accounts or notify Account Debtors of Collateral Agent’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral; (b) endorse such Grantor’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (c) sign such Grantor’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors schedules and assignments of Accounts, verifications of Accounts, and notices to Account Debtors; (d) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors, for amounts and on terms Collateral Agent determines reasonable; (e) make, settle, and adjust all claims under such Grantor’s insurance policies; (f) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; (g) transfer the Collateral into the name of Collateral Agent or a third party as the Code permits; (h) dispose of the Collateral and (i) take such other actions as Collateral Agent determines to be necessary or advisable for the purpose of maintaining, preserving or protecting the Collateral or any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges of Collateral Agent under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Each Grantor further hereby appoints Collateral Agent (and any of Collateral Agent’s partners, managers, officers, agents or employees) as its lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing to sign each Grantor’s name on any documents and other Security Instruments necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of, or maintain the priority of, Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Collateral. Collateral Agent’s foregoing appointment as such Grantor’s attorney in fact, and all of Collateral Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been asserted or is known to exist) have been fully repaid, in cash, and otherwise fully performed and all obligations under the Notes have been terminated.

4.3 Protective Payments. If a Grantor fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 3.1 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which such Grantor is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document which are required to preserve the Collateral, Collateral Agent may obtain such insurance in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1(d) or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by Collateral Agent are Buyer Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. Collateral Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Grantors with notice of Collateral Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by Collateral Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or Collateral Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

 

4.4 Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Collateral Agent shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession, whether payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations, for the ratable benefit of Buyers. Collateral Agent shall pay any surplus to the Company by credit to the Deposit Account designated by the Company or as directed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Grantors shall remain liable to Collateral Agent and Buyers for any deficiency. If Collateral Agent, directly or indirectly, enters into a deferred payment or other credit transaction with any purchaser at any sale of Collateral, Collateral Agent may either reduce the Obligations by the principal amount of the purchase price or defer the reduction of the Obligations until the actual receipt by Collateral Agent of cash or immediately available funds therefor.

 

4.5 Collateral Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as Collateral Agent complies with reasonable secured lender practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of Collateral Agent and applicable law (including applicable provisions of the Code), Collateral Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Each Grantor bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

 

4.6 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any failure by Collateral Agent, at any time or times, to require strict performance by each Grantor of any provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of Collateral Agent thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document are cumulative. Collateral Agent has all rights and remedies provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. Collateral Agent’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude Collateral Agent from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and any waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

 

9

 

 

4.7 Demand Waiver. Each Grantor waives presentment, demand and notice of default.

 

5. Partial Release of the Collateral

 

Upon written request of the Company to the Collateral Agent, and subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 5, Collateral Agent shall release (such release, an “Collateral Release”) (including any Intellectual Property Security Agreement and any filings made with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office in connection therewith) its security interest in all Collateral of the Grantors other than the Blocked DACA Account, the Grantor’s other cash and Investment Property in any Deposit Account, Securities Account or Commodity Account and the proceeds and products thereof (collectively, the “Retained Collateral”). The conditions to a Collateral Release are as follows: (i) the Grantors shall have deposited (or caused to be deposited) Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in cash into a single segregated blocked deposit account maintained at a depositary institution reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Blocked DACA Account”), which Blocked DACA Account shall be subject to an Account Control Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Release DACA”) providing the Collateral Agent with exclusive dominion and control over such account and no Grantor shall have access to the funds in such account (the amount from time to time on deposit in the Blocked DACA Account being the “Collateral Release Deposit”, which shall be maintained, released and applied as provided in this Section 5 and in the Notes); (ii) the Collateral Agent shall have received a first priority perfected security interest in the Blocked DACA Account and all funds on deposit therein, as Collateral securing the Obligations; (iii) no Event of Default shall have occurred prior to such Collateral Release and there shall be no event or circumstance that with the giving of notice or the passage of time that would become an Event of Default; and (iv) the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that each of the foregoing conditions has been satisfied. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, the Collateral Agent shall, at the expense of the Grantors, promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements and other documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to evidence the release of its security interest in all Collateral of the Grantors other than the Retained Collateral. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary, (i) at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may, at the direction of the Required Holder, apply all or any portion of the Collateral Release Deposit to the Obligations; (ii) at any time that the aggregate outstanding Conversion Amount (as defined in the Notes) of the Notes is equal to or less than the Collateral Release Deposit, the Collateral Release Deposit may be applied to the payment of amounts then due and payable under the Notes as provided in the Notes; and (iii) no release or application of the Collateral Release Deposit, and no Collateral Release, shall release or otherwise affect the Collateral Agent’s security interest in the Retained Collateral, including the remaining Collateral Release Deposit.

7. CHOICE OF LAW, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER
