|
As
a consequence of an assumption of debts (Schuldübernahme)
of CATS Ltd. by Octavian, as of the date of this Agreement, Octavian
owes AGI a total of EUR 18,756,205.78, resulting from deliveries of
goods and services by AGI (the "Accounts
Payable").
|
2.2
|
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, AGI is prepared to
convert
an amount of EUR 8,000,000 of the Accounts Payable into a loan by AGI
to Octavian (the "Loan").
Attached hereto as Exhibit 2.2
is
a draft loan agreement on the basis of which AGI is prepared to provide
the Loan to Octavian (the "Loan
Agreement").
Octavian and AGI undertake to enter into the Loan Agreement upon
satisfaction of the Conditions set forth in Clause 3.1.1.
|
2.3
|
As
security for Octavian's obligations under the Loan, including without
limitation as to payment of interest and repayment of principal,
Octavian
shall conditionally transfer to AGI all of its present and future
rights,
title and interest in the Products and Materials (as defined in the
Transfer Agreement) on the terms and conditions of an Intellectual
Property Rights Transfer Agreement in form and substance corresponding
to
the draft attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3
(the "Transfer
Agreement").
The documentation relating to the IP Rights (as defined in the
Transfer Agreement) in the Products and the Materials shall be deposited
with an Austrian notary public acting as escrow agent as further
set forth
in the Transfer Agreement. Octavian and AGI undertake to enter into
the
Transfer Agreement simultaneously with the Loan Agreement. Drawdown
of the
Loan (as set forth in the Loan Agreement) shall be conditional upon
due
execution of the Transfer Agreement and deposit of the Products and
Materials with the escrow agent pursuant to the terms of the Transfer
Agreement.

to subscribe for the convertible notes on terms and conditions
substantially similar to the terms at which the third party investors
provide the USD 15,000.000 equity financing. Subject to any
restrictions set out in the constitutional documents of the holding
company or otherwise in any applicable listing rules or other law

Octavian Ltd. - as shall equal 29,4% ownership of Octavian NewCo
after
giving effect to the Share Exchange Agreeement, the Second Round
Investment (including all outside investors participating in such
round
alongside AGI) and assuming the conversion of all such convertible
notes
into common stock of Octavian NewCo, but not including the possible
exercise of any common stock purchase warrants issued as part of
the
Second Round Investment, provided that AGI is prepared to enter such
agreement on the basis that all the shareholders in Octavian NewCo
shall
have the same pro
rata rights
and obligations under such
agreement.

Upon
receipt by Octavian of the not less than USD 15,000.000 equity
financing from third party investors (see Clause 3.1.1),
Octavian shall repay to AGI promptly and without delay part of the
Accounts Payable in an amount equal to EUR 2,000,000. Octavian

rights in inventions and topography rights whether or not registered,
including all applications and rights to apply for registration
(hereinafter referred to as "IP

|
Octavian
asserted to be the owner of all IP Rights in and to hold ownership
title
to all materials related to the Products (these materials and any
part
thereof hereinafter referred to as the "Materials")
as far as necessary to perform those IP-Rights in the
Products;
|
3. |
they
have entered into a loan agreement dated [●] (hereinafter referred to as

|
4. |
when
entering into the Loan Agreement, the Parties intended that all the

to AGI
under the Condition as set forth in Article 1 of this Intellectual
Property Rights Transfer Agreement (the "Agreement");

IP
RIGHTS TRANSFER AGREEMENT

DRAFT
|
CONFIDENTIAL –
SUBJECT TO CONTRACT
|
31.07.2008
|
This
transfer shall be without limitation with regard to content, duration and area
(territory), including possible extensions of the duration of copyright,
including the right to identify itself as producer of the Products and including
the right to possible new exploitation methods and rights, and - insofar as
the
transfer of the full IP Rights in the Products and Materials under any
jurisdiction may not be possible - accordingly, with regard to content, duration
and area (territory) unlimited, exclusive, transferable and irrevocable rights
of use and/or rights to utilize the IP Rights in the Products and Materials
are
granted to AGI. Therefore, AGI shall have acquired the exclusive unlimited
right
in and/or right to utilize the IP Rights in the Products and Materials. Octavian
hereby irrevocably confirms that AGI is entitled without restrictions and
irrevocably to all the IP Rights in the Products. AGI is therefore in particular
exclusively entitled to the use of the IP Rights in the Products and Materials
by itself or any third party, true to original or processed by any existing
or
future possible method, worldwide and without time limitations, for any purpose,
in particular to - irrespective of method and quantity - copy, distribute
copies, further develop and change, disseminate, lease, send, perform, make
available to the public and/or to transfer or grant these rights entirely or
in
part to third parties and/or grant (sub-)licences.
There
is
no obligation of use by AGI but it is intended that AGI uses reasonable efforts
to exploit the IP Rights in the Products and Materials transferred to it during
the Protected Period pursuant to Article 5. AGI shall not be obliged to
affix any reference to the author of the Products.
Article
3 Transfer
of Rights in the Materials
At
signing of this Agreement, Octavian shall have deposited the Materials in escrow
with [●], acting as escrow agent (the "Escrow
Agent").
The
Escrow Agent shall hold in escrow and release the Software Materials subject
to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the escrow agreement attached
hereto as Annex C
(the
"Escrow
Agreement").
Upon
dispatch of the Transfer Notice in accordance with Article 2, AGI shall be
entitled to immediately notify the Escrow Agent in writing that the Condition
has been fulfilled and notice has been given to Octavian that the IP Rights
in
the Products and Materials, including Software Materials will be transferred
on
the date set out in the Transfer Notice.
Upon
receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall hand over the Software Materials
to AGI without undue delay in order to transfer the Software Materials to
AGI.
Upon
transfer of the IP Rights in the Products and the Materials to AGI, AGI shall
be
entitled to use the IP Rights in the Materials as far as necessary to perform
the IP-Rights in the Products.

Article
4 Compensation
for the Transfer of Rights and Materials
The
transfer of the IP Rights in the Products and Materials hereunder shall become
valid upon fulfilment of the Condition and service on the Transfer Notice in
accordance with Article 2 and shall occur on the date set out in the Transfer
Notice. It serves as security for the full settlement of claims by AGI out
of or
in connection with the Loan Agreement and this Agreement.
Octavian
therefore has no claim for any compensation, regardless of the value of the
transferred rights today or in the future. Any right for rescission of this
Agreement or any claim for invalidation or avoidance or adjustment of this
Agreement including without limitation for reasons of error, change of
circumstances, frustration of contract or on the basis of leasio
enormis
(Sec 934 ABGB) shall be excluded.
Article
5 Protected
Period
This
Article 5 shall apply in the event that the IP Rights in the Products and
Materials are transferred to AGI in accordance with Article 2 (other than where
such transfer occurs as a result of an Event of Default under clause 6.1.2
of
the Loan Agreement). In the Transfer Notice, AGI shall set out the amount of
the
Loan (plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon) which is outstanding in
accordance with the Loan Agreement at the date that the transfer occurs in
accordance with Article 2.
For
a
period of 12 months following the transfer of the IP Rights in the Products
and
Materials pursuant to Article 2 (the "Protected
Period"),
it is
intended that AGI uses reasonable efforts to exploit the IP Rights in the
Products and Materials transferred to it provided always that for the Protected
Period, AGI shall not transfer, licence, assign, pledge or otherwise grant
rights to any person in respect of the IP Rights in the Products and Materials
(other than in the ordinary course of business). In any case AGI shall in
particular have the right also within the Protection Period for AGI to license
the IP Rights in the Products and Materials on an End User License level to
be able to exploit the IP Rights in the Products and Materials.
If,
at
any time during the Protected Period,
1.
|
Octavian
repays to AGI the amount of the Loan and accrued but unpaid interest
thereon along with any reasonable costs incurred by AGI in enforcing
the
terms of the Loan Agreement or this;
or
|
2.
|
AGI
receives from the exploitation of the IP Rights in the Products and
Materials an amount that is equal to the total of the Loan plus accrued
but unpaid interest thereon and any reasonable costs incurred by
AGI in
enforcing the terms of the Loan Agreement or this Agreement and any
reasonable costs incurred by AGI in connection with such
exploitation,
|
AGI
shall, within 5 Business Days of such event occurring, undertake all steps
required to transfer the IP Rights back to Octavian and shall promptly pursue
all registrations and other steps required to complete such transfer. Octavian
shall reimburse AGI for all reasonable costs incurred by AGI in completing
the
transfer to Octavian as contemplated by this Article 5. Nothing contained in
this Article 5 shall, however, in any way limit or prejudice the transfer of
the
IP Rights in the Products and of the Materials to AGI
hereunder.
