1
Section 3. Collateral. The Collateral is that certain account receivable of COYN set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
Section 4. Representations and Warranties; Covenants. COYN hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
(a)
|
Other than that certain first priority security interest on all assets of COYN held by a senior lender (the “Senior Lien”), COYN is the sole owner of, and has full title to the Collateral free and clear of any liens, security interests, encumbrances, rights or claims and is fully authorized to grant the security interest in the Collateral. Other than the Senior Lien, there is not on file in any governmental or regulatory authority, agency or recording office an effective financing statement, security agreement, license or transfer or any notice of any of the foregoing (other than those that have been filed in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to this Security Agreement) covering or affecting any of the Collateral. Other than the Senior Lien, so long as this Security Agreement shall be in effect, COYN shall not execute and shall not permit to be on file in any such office or agency any such financing statement or other document or instrument (except to the extent filed or recorded in favor of the Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement or in connection with the Senior Lien).
|
(b)
|
COYN has obtained a written, irrevocable waiver from the senior lender, which will render the Senior Lien inapplicable to the Collateral, true copy of which is attached to this Agreement and has been delivered to Secured Party.
|
(c)
|
COYN will maintain the Collateral so as to preserve its value.
|
(d)
|
COYN is a corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Security Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by COYN of this Security Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of COYN and no further action is required by COYN. This Security Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of COYN enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally.
|
(e)
|
COYN will pay when due all existing or future charges, liens, or encumbrances on the Collateral, and will pay when due all taxes and assessments now or hereafter imposed or affecting the Collateral unless such taxes or assessments are diligently contested by COYN in good faith and reasonable reserves are established therefor. COYN shall promptly notify the Secured Party in sufficient detail upon becoming aware of any attachment, garnishment, execution or other legal process levied against any Collateral and of any other information received
|

The Collateral is collectable in the ordinary course of business without the need to engage in any out of the ordinary efforts or incur any cost or expense.
|
(i)
|
The execution, delivery and performance of this Security Agreement does not and will not conflict with or cause a breach or default, or an event that with or without the passage of time or notice, shall constitute a breach or default, under any (i) agreement to which COYN is a party or by which COYN is bound or (ii) law, statute or any judgment, order or decree, rule or regulation applicable to COYN. Other than the consent of the Senior Party that has already been obtained, no consent (including, without limitation, from stock holders or creditors of COYN) is required for COYN to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder.
