| 3. | Security. |
| 3.1 | Floating Charge. As collateral security for the full and punctual payment or performance when due (whether at stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Liabilities by the Company, the Company hereby, absolutely and unconditionally charges and pledges in favour of the Lender(s) and their successors, by way of first ranking (subject only to the Company Permitted Security Interests) floating charge and pledge all of the Company’s property, assets and rights, now or at any time belonging to or acquired by the Company, and the profits and benefits derived therefrom, including without derogating from the generality of the aforementioned, the property, assets and rights set forth below (hereinafter jointly and severally, the “Pledged Assets”): |

| b) | all present and future rights to compensation, indemnity, insurance proceeds, warranty or guaranty accruing to the Company by reason of the loss of, damage to or expropriation of, or any other event or circumstance with respect to, such Pledged Assets and all proceeds and benefits deriving from such Pledged Assets as listed in Section 3.1a) above (including, without limitation, those received upon any collection, exchange, sale or other disposition of such Pledged Assets and any property into which such Pledged Assets are converted, whether cash or non-cash); |
2
| c) | all present and future rights, claims and remedies of the Company under and in respect of (i) all contracts and policies of insurance executed and/or issued in relation to the Pledged Assets, from time to time; (ii) all payments to the Company in relation to sub-section (i) above; and (iii) all claims, rights and remedies of the Company arising from sub-sections (i) and/or (ii) above (collectively, the “Insurances”) and any monies paid or payable pursuant thereto whether held in or for the benefit of any trust or other account relative thereto or otherwise; and |

For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledged Assets shall include the Intellectual Property as defined in Appendix A of this Debenture. However, since a certain portion of the Intellectual Property was funded by the Israeli Innovation Authority (the “IIA” and the “Funded IP”, respectively), the charges and pledges of such Funded IP in favour of the Lender(s) hereunder, shall be subject to the approval of the IIA, and this Debenture shall be deemed to apply to such Funded IP only following the IIA’s approval. In addition, the realization of charges and pledges with respect to Funded IP shall be in accordance with provisions of the Encouragement of Research, Development and Technological Innovation in the Industry Law, 5744-1984 (the “Innovation Law”), and the applicable procedures of the IIA.
| 3.2 | First Ranking. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject only to the Company Permitted Security Interests, all of the Security Interests created by the Company under Section 3 of this Debenture shall rank in priority to any other Security Interests created by the Company. |
For the purposes hereof, “Security Interest” shall mean (i) any mortgage, charge, pledge, lien, hypothecation, assignment by way of security, security interest, title retention or other encumbrance of any kind securing, or any right securing, any obligation of any person, or any other agreement or arrangement having a similar effect; (ii) any arrangement under which moneys or claims to, or the benefit of, a bank or other account, may be set-off or made subject to a combination of accounts so as to affect payments of sums owed or payable to any person; and/or (iii) any other type of preferential arrangement having similar effect.

The Company declares and agrees that the Security Interests created by this Debenture and the powers conferred hereto, shall not be prejudiced or affected by any other agreement between the Company and the Lender(s). The Security Interests created by this Debenture shall remain in force as continuing security for the payment and discharge of the Secured Liabilities and shall remain in full force notwithstanding any settlement of account or any other act, event or matter whatsoever, and, shall be released and discharged upon the full and final payment of the Secured Liabilities.

| 4.3 | Liability of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Debenture, the Company shall remain liable to the performance and observance of all of the terms and obligations relating to or constituting the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets. Neither the Lender(s) nor any Receiver (as defined below) shall be under any obligation or liability with respect to the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets by reason of or arising out of this Debenture. Neither the Lender(s) nor any Receiver shall be required in any manner to perform or fulfil any of the obligations of the Company in respect of the Secured Liabilities or the Pledged Assets, or to make any payment, or to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or take any action or to collect any amount or enforce any right or remedy hereunder. The rights and remedies of the Lender(s) and any Receiver provided by the pledges created under this Debenture are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by any applicable law. The exercise by the Lender(s) of any of the rights or remedies under this Debenture shall not release the Company from any of its liabilities or obligations under any agreement between the Lender(s) and the Company; in particular, the application of the Pledged Assets to satisfy part of the Secured Liabilities shall not release the Company from its obligation to pay and perform the unsatisfied part of the Secured Liabilities. |
