THIS PATENT SECURITY AGREEMENT (this "Security Agreement") made as of this
26th day of June 2002, by MTS PACKAGING SYSTEMS, INC., a Florida corporation
("Grantor") in favor of EUREKA I, L.P., as collateral agent (in such capacity,
the "Collateral Agent"):
W I T N E S S E T H
WHEREAS, Grantor is a party to that certain Guaranty Agreement of even date
herewith (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Guaranty") by the subsidiaries of Medical Technology Systems, Inc. (the
"Company") in favor of Eureka I, L.P.; and
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement of
even date herewith with Eureka I, L.P., as purchaser (the "Purchaser") and
Collateral Agent (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time,
the "Purchase Agreement"), providing, subject to the terms and conditions
thereof, for the purchase from the Company by the Purchaser of, among other
things, $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement); and
WHEREAS, Grantor is interested in the welfare of the Company and is
directly benefited by the purchase of the Notes from the Company by the
Purchaser; and
WHEREAS, to induce the Purchaser to enter into the Purchase Agreement with
the Company and to purchase the Notes, the Grantor has agreed to execute and
deliver this Security Agreement and to assign and grant to Collateral Agent, for
its benefit and for the benefit of the Noteholders, a security interest in
certain of the Grantor's assets, including, without limitation, its patents and
patent applications;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein and for
other good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, Grantor agrees as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. All terms capitalized terms used but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings herein as in the Purchase Agreement or
the Guaranty (as defined in the Purchase Agreement).
2. Grant of Security Interests. To secure the complete and timely payment
and satisfaction of the Liabilities by the Company, Grantor hereby grants to
Collateral Agent, as agent for itself and the Noteholders, a continuing security
interest in Grantor's entire right, title and interest in and to all of its now
owned or existing and hereafter acquired or arising patents, patent applications
and rights under patent license agreements, whether as licensee or licensor,
including, without limitation, the inventions and improvements described and
claimed therein, all patentable inventions and those patents and patent
applications listed on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof and all
patents and the reissues, divisions, continuations, renewals, extensions and
continuations-in-part of any of the foregoing, and all income, royalties,
damages and payments now or hereafter due and/or payable under or with respect
to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, damages and payments for
past, present and future infringements of any of the foregoing and the right to
xxx for past, present and future infringements of any of the foregoing (all of
the foregoing are sometimes hereinafter individually and/or collectively
referred to as the "Patents").
2
The term "Liability" or "Liabilities" shall mean the indebtedness and
liabilities of the Company to the Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders under
this Security Agreement, the Notes, the Purchase Agreement and the Security
Documents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), including but not limited to
all obligations to perform acts or refrain from taking any action and any
obligations of the Company owing to the Collateral Agent and/or the Noteholders.
3. Intercreditor Agreement. The priority of the security interests granted
hereby, the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, and the covenants of the Grantor contained herein (in each case
whether or not so expressed) are subject in all respects to the Intercreditor
Agreement (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement). Any reference to
property in the possession of, or to property secured or to be secured to, the
Collateral Agent will be deemed to refer to, or to be satisfied by, property in
the possession of or secured to the "Senior Lender" under the Intercreditor
Agreement. The security interests created in favor of the Collateral Agent
hereunder are subordinate and junior to the security interests created in favor
of the Senior Lender (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).
4. Warranties and Representations. Grantor warrants and represents to
Collateral Agent that:
(a) no Patent has been adjudged invalid or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction nor has any such Patent been cancelled, in whole or
in part and each such Patent is presently subsisting;
(b) Grantor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire and
unencumbered right, title and interest in and to each Patent, or is
licensee of such Patents, as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto, free
and clear of any liens, charges and encumbrances, including without
limitation, shop rights and covenants by Grantor not to xxx third persons,
other than Permitted Liens;
(c) Grantor has no notice of any suits or actions commenced or
threatened with reference to any Patent; and
(d) Grantor has the unqualified right to execute and deliver this
Security Agreement and perform its terms.
5. Restrictions on Future Agreements. Grantor agrees that until the
Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full, Grantor shall not,
without the prior written consent of Collateral Agent, sell or assign its
interest in any Patent or enter into any other agreement with respect to any
Patent which would affect the validity or enforcement of the rights transferred
to Collateral Agent under this Security Agreement.
6. New Patents. Grantor represents and warrants that, based on a diligent
investigation by Grantor, the Patents listed on Schedule A constitute all of the
federally registered Patents and Patent applications now owned by Grantor. If,
before the Liabilities shall have been satisfied in full, Grantor shall (i)
become aware of any existing Patents of which Grantor has not previously
informed Collateral Agent, (ii) obtain rights to any new patentable inventions
3
or Patents, or (iii) become entitled to the benefit of any Patents, which
benefit is not in existence on the date hereof, the provisions of this Security
Agreement above shall automatically apply thereto and Grantor shall give to
Collateral Agent prompt written notice thereof. Grantor hereby authorizes
Collateral Agent to modify this Security Agreement by amending Schedule A to
include any such Patents.
7. Royalties; Terms. The term of this Security Agreement shall extend until
the earlier of (i) the expiration of each of the Patents, and (ii) the payment
and satisfaction in full of the Liabilities and the termination of the Financing
Agreements. Grantor agrees that, during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the use by Agent of all Patents shall be without any liability for royalties or
other related charges from Collateral Agent to Grantor.
8. Release of Security Interest. This Security Agreement is made for
Collateral purposes only. Upon payment and satisfaction in full of the
Liabilities, Collateral Agent shall take such actions as may be necessary or
proper to terminate the security interests created hereby.
9. Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with the performance of
any of the agreements set forth herein shall be borne by Grantor. All fees,
costs and expenses, of whatever kind or nature, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and legal expenses, actually incurred by Collateral Agent in connection
with the filing or recording of any documents (including all taxes in connection
therewith) in public offices, the payment or discharge of any taxes, reasonable
counsel fees actually incurred, maintenance fees, encumbrances or otherwise in
protecting, maintaining or preserving the Patents or in defending or prosecuting
any actions or proceedings arising out of or related to the Patents shall be
borne by and paid by Grantor and until paid shall constitute Liabilities.
10. Duties of Grantor. Grantor shall have the duty (i) to file and
prosecute diligently any patent applications pending as of the date hereof or
hereafter until the Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full, (ii)
to make application on unpatented but patentable inventions, as commercially
reasonable, (iii) to preserve and maintain all rights in the Patents, as
commercially reasonable and (iv) to ensure that the Patents are and remain
enforceable, as commercially reasonable. Any expenses incurred in connection
with Grantor's obligations under this Section 10 shall be borne by Grantor.
11. Collateral Agent's Right to Xxx. During the continuance of an Event of
Default and at the direction of the Required Noteholders and subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement, Collateral Agent shall have the right, but shall in no
way be obligated, to bring suit in its own name to enforce the Patents and, if
Collateral Agent shall commence any such suit, Grantor shall, at the request of
Collateral Agent, do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all proper
documents required by Collateral Agent in aid of such enforcement and Grantor
shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify Collateral Agent for all
costs and expenses actually incurred by Collateral Agent in the exercise of its
rights under this Section 11.
12. Waivers. No course of dealing between Grantor and Collateral Agent, nor
any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Collateral
Agent, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
13. Severability. The provisions of this Security Agreement are severable,
and if any clause or provision shall be held invalid and unenforceable in whole
or in part in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall
affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such jurisdiction, and
shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Security Agreement in any
jurisdiction.
4
14. Modification. This Security Agreement cannot be altered, amended or
modified in any way, except as specifically provided in Section 6 hereof or by a
writing signed by the parties hereto.
15. Cumulative Remedies; Power of Attorney; Effect on Financing Agreements.
All of Collateral Agent's rights and remedies with respect to the Patents,
whether established hereby or by the Financing Agreements, or by any other
agreements or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Grantor hereby authorizes Collateral Agent, during the continuance
of an Event of Default and at the direction of the Required Noteholders and
subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to make, constitute and appoint any
officer or agent of Collateral Agent as Collateral Agent may select, in its sole
discretion, as Grantor's true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power to (i)
endorse Grantor's name on all applications, documents, papers and instruments
necessary or desirable for Collateral Agent in the use of the Patents or (ii)
take any other actions with respect to the Patents as Collateral Agent deems to
be in the best interest of Collateral Agent, or (iii) grant or issue any
exclusive or non-exclusive license under the Patents to anyone, or (iv) assign,
pledge, convey or otherwise transfer title in or dispose of the Patents to
anyone. Grantor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or
cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney shall be irrevocable
until the Liabilities shall have been paid and satisfied in full. Grantor
acknowledges and agrees that this Security Agreement is not intended to limit or
restrict in any way the rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and/or the
Noteholders under the Purchase Agreement but rather is intended to facilitate
the exercise of such rights and remedies. Collateral Agent and the Noteholders
shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies given it by the terms
of this Security Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, all rights and remedies
allowed by law and the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
16. Binding Effect; Benefits. This Security Agreement shall be binding upon
Grantor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Noteholders and their respective
successors, nominees and assigns.
17. Governing Law. This Security Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and
applicable federal law.
18. Headings. Paragraph headings used herein are for convenience only and
shall not modify the provisions which they precede.
19. Further Assurances. Grantor agrees to execute and deliver such further
agreements, instruments and documents, and to perform such further acts, as
Collateral Agent (at the direction of the Required Noteholders) shall reasonably
request from time to time in order to carry out the purpose of this Security
Agreement and agreements set forth herein.
