4.8 PRECAUTIONARY SECURITY INTEREST IN PURCHASED RECEIVABLES. Without limiting Section 4.9 and as set forth in Section 4.7, it is the intent and expectation of both Seller and Purchaser that the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables be a true, irrevocable and absolute sale by Seller to Purchaser for all purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an abundance of caution to address the possibility that, notwithstanding that Seller and Purchaser expressly intend and expect for the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Receivables hereunder to be a true and absolute sale and assignment for all purposes, in the event that such sale and assignment will be characterized as a loan or other financial accommodation and not a true sale or such sale will for any reason be ineffective or unenforceable as such, as determined in a judicial, administrative or other proceeding (any of the foregoing being a “Recharacterization”), then this Agreement will be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC and other Applicable Law. For this purpose and without being in derogation of the intention of Seller and Purchaser that the sale of the Purchased Receivables will constitute a true sale thereof, effective as of the Closing Date, Seller does hereby grant to Purchaser a continuing security interest of first priority in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Purchased Receivables, whether now or hereafter existing, and any and all “proceeds” thereof (as such term is defined in the UCC), in each case, for the benefit of Purchaser as security for the prompt and complete payment of a loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price together with the performance when due of all of Seller’s obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which security interest will, upon the filing of a duly prepared financing statement in the appropriate filing office and filing particulars of the security interest in the CRO, be perfected and prior to all other Encumbrances thereon, other than Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent that such security interest in the Collateral can be perfected under the UCC by the filing of financing statement in such filing office or making such other filings. Purchaser will have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor after default under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies will be cumulative. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser, as secured party, to file the UCC financing statements and Form C1 contemplated hereby. In the case of any Recharacterization, each of Seller and Purchaser represents and warrants as to itself that each remittance of payments of the Scheduled Quarterly Amount, in respect of the payments of the Scheduled Quarterly Amount or any other payment owed by Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, will have been in payment of a debt incurred by Seller in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser, and made in the ordinary course of business or financial affairs of Seller and Purchaser.
4.9 SECURITY INTEREST IN ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL; REMEDIES.
(a) Seller hereby grants to Purchaser a security interest in all of Seller’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Additional Collateral, to secure the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all obligations of Seller hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents, which security interest will upon:

be perfected and prior to all other Encumbrances thereon, other than Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent that such security interest in the Collateral can be perfected under the UCC by the filing of a financing statement in such filing office or by making such other filings.
(b) Seller will notify Purchaser in writing [***] to any change in, or amendment or alteration to, (i) its legal name, (ii) its form or type of organizational structure or jurisdiction of organization, or (iii) its Federal Employer Identification Number. Seller agrees not to effect or permit any such change referred to above unless all filings have been made under the UCC or otherwise requested by Purchaser that are required or advisable in order for Purchaser to continue at all times following such change to have a valid, legal and perfected Encumbrance (prior and superior in right and interest to any other Person) in all the Collateral.
(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 9.4(a), Seller will execute any and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and take all further action that may be required under Applicable Law, or that Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to grant, create, preserve, enforce, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and other Encumbrances created by this Agreement in the Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller will do or cause to be done all acts and things that may be required, or that Purchaser from time to time may reasonably request, to assure and confirm that Purchaser holds duly created and enforceable and perfected Encumbrances upon the Collateral (including any property or assets that are acquired or otherwise become Collateral after the date of this Agreement), in each case, as contemplated by, and with the lien priority required under, this Agreement; provided that (a) Seller shall not be obligated to undertake any filings or other actions with respect to any jurisdictions outside of the United States other than Ireland and the European Patent Office, and (b) no control agreements with respect to any deposit accounts or securities accounts shall be required.

(e) Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to directly or indirectly, sell, transfer, assign, lease, license, sublicense, convey or otherwise directly or indirectly dispose of any of the Collateral or any interest therein, except as permitted by this Agreement and except for Permitted Encumbrances.

(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser will have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement, at law or in equity (including as set forth in Section 4.9(m)) with respect to the Collateral, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not in effect in the jurisdiction where such rights are exercised) or other Applicable Law.
(g) Seller agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser will have the right, subject to Applicable Law and subsection (n) below, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as Purchaser shall deem appropriate. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of Seller.
(h) Purchaser will give Seller [***] written notice of the time and place of any such proposed sale. Any such notice will (i) in the case of a public sale, state the time and place fixed for such sale, (ii) in the case of a private sale, state the day after which such sale may be consummated, (iii) contain the information specified in Section 9-613 of the UCC, (iv) be authenticated and (v) be sent to the parties required to be notified pursuant to Section 9-611(c) of the UCC; provided that, if Purchaser fails to comply with this sentence in any respect, its liability for such failure shall be limited to the liability (if any) imposed on it as a matter of law under the UCC. Seller agrees that such written notice will satisfy all requirements for notice to Seller that are imposed under the UCC or other Applicable Law with respect to the exercise of Purchaser’s rights and remedies hereunder upon default. Purchaser will not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale or other disposition of such Collateral shall have been given. Purchaser may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.
(i) Any public sale will be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as Purchaser may fix and state in the notice of such sale. At any sale or other disposition, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as Purchaser may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine. If any of the Collateral is sold, leased, or otherwise disposed of by Purchaser on credit, the obligations secured by the security interests granted herein shall not be deemed to have been reduced as a result thereof unless and until payment in full is received thereon by Purchaser.
(j) At any such public (or, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, private) sale made pursuant hereto, Purchaser may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of Seller, the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale, and Purchaser may make

(l) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Seller hereby waives all rights of demand, redemption, stay, valuation and appraisal that Seller now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.
(m) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.9(f), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Purchaser may accelerate the Outstanding Threshold Amount, which upon such acceleration, shall become due and payable to Purchaser; provided that upon an Event of Default specified in clause (d) of the definition thereof, automatically and without any notice to Seller, the Outstanding Threshold Amount, will be due and payable to Purchaser (except as set forth in Section 4.9(n) below). Presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind are hereby expressly waived. Further, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Purchaser may, subject to any restrictions set forth in this Section 4.9, foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Collateral in such portions or in full as Purchaser sees fit in its sole discretion.
(n) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if there is an occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default described in subsection (d) of that definition (a Bankruptcy Event), and if there is a sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral by Purchaser pursuant to subsection (g) or subsection (k) above, then, in such case, Purchaser hereby agrees to accept from the proceeds of such a sale or other disposition an amount equal to the Outstanding Threshold Amount.
