1. Interpretation.
The
Preamble to this Agreement constitutes a part hereof. All capitalized terms
used
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such terms
in the Loan Agreement.
2. Security.
To
secure the due and punctual payment of all amounts which may become due to
the
Lenders from the Pledgor pursuant to the Transaction Documents (collectively,
the “Secured
Obligations”),
the
Pledgor hereby unconditionally pledges and grants the Lenders a first priority

Version], 5743-1983) (the “Floating Charge”)
on all
of its rights, title and interests in and to all its present and future tangible
and intangible assets and rights of any kind, whether contingent or absolute,
including, but not limited to, the assets more fully described in Annex

attached

Without derogating from the foregoing, the pledge and charge created by

or
indemnity which may accrue to the Pledgor by reason of the loss or expropriation

4. Encouragement
of Research and Development in the Industry Law.
The
Lenders hereby acknowledge that the security interests granted hereunder with
respect to the Intellectual Property of the Pledgor is hereby made subject
to
the provisions of the Encouragement of Research and Development in the Industry
Law, 5744-1984 (the ‘R&D
Law’)
(such
Intellectual Property, “Funded
IP”)
and is
subject to the Chief Scientist’s Rights (as hereinafter defined). In addition,
the Lenders hereby acknowledge that any realization of any charge, lien or
encumbrance, fixed or floating, of the Funded IP, including the sale of the
Funded IP and its transfer within the framework of realization procedures,
will
require the approval of the Research Committee (as hereinafter defined).
Likewise, any realization or transfer of said Funded IP will also be conditional
upon the potential buyer or transferee undertaking to assume obligations in
accordance with the R&D Law (including without limitation, Sections 18, 19
and 19A thereof and the obligation not to transfer the Funded IP to another
entity unless the Research Committee approves the transaction) and in accordance
with the terms of the program pursuant with which funds were provided to the
Pledgor.
In
this
Agreement, the ‘Chief
Scientist's Rights’
shall
mean all the rights, powers and privileges of the Israeli Office of the Chief
Scientist under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (the "OCS"),
including without limitation, all the rights, powers and privileges of the
Industrial Research and Development Committee (the "Research
Committee"),
by
virtue of an instrument of approval granted pursuant with the R&D Law and
the OCS rules and regulations.
5. Insurance;
Inspection. The Pledgor shall at all times maintain insurance in
coverage (if any) which is customary for a company of the size, the stage of
development and the industry in which the Pledgor operates. The Pledgor shall
permit Plenus Management to inspect the Collateral and the Pledgor’s records at
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice.
6. Representations.
6.1 Representations.
The
Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that:
(i) the
Collateral or any part thereof is not charged, pledged or attached to, or in
favor of, any other person or entity, other than limitations and encumbrances
relating to the OCS and the Chief Scientist's Rights and other than pursuant
to
applicable law;
(ii) to
the
Pledgor’s knowledge,
the
Collateral is, in its entirety, in the exclusive possession and ownership of
the
Pledgor;
(iii) to
the
Pledgor’s knowledge, other than as set forth herein, there
is
no limitation in any provision of agreement which the Pledgor is a party to,
which restricts the creation of a pledge and charge over the Collateral or
the
transfer or sale thereof in accordance with the provisions contained herein
and,
accordingly, the Pledgor is unaware of anything which may prevent or adversely
affect the Lenders' or Plenus Management’s ability to freely sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of the Collateral, pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, without the consent or approval of any third party or governmental
authority, subject to Section 4 herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Pledgor
shall have no liability or responsibility for the failure to exercise any charge
or lien granted hereunder in the event that consent from the OCS and/or the
Research Committee, as applicable, was denied;
(iv) the
Pledgor has the complete power and authority to create the charge over the
Collateral, in accordance with the provisions hereof;
(v)
to
the Pledgor’s knowledge, no assignment or other disposition is currently
affecting the Collateral which may materially derogate from the value of the
Collateral, subject to customary assignment provisions in commercial agreements;
and
2
(vi)
to
the Pledgor’s knowledge there are no powers of attorney, proxies or assignments
or delegations thereof authorizing any action to be taken on behalf of the
Pledgor in connection with the Collateral, except as required pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement.
6.2
Notification
Requirement.
Without
derogating from the provisions of the Loan Agreement or any other notification
requirement set forth herein, the Pledgor shall promptly notify Plenus
Management, in writing, of (i) any Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) any steps
taken or threatened for the appointment of a special manager, temporary
liquidator, temporary receiver or trustee for or over all or any part of the
Collateral and, if any such official is appointed, of his appointment; or (iii)
the placement of an attachment on the Collateral or any portion thereof, or
(iv)
the filing against the Pledgor of any petition in liquidation or any petition
under the provisions of applicable law for the relief of creditors.
7. Realization
of the Floating Charge; Authorization; Independence of Floating
Charge.
The
Lenders and Plenus Management shall be entitled to realize the Floating Charge
(in accordance with the provisions contained herein) as of the time that all
amounts due to the Lenders from the Pledgor pursuant to the Loan Agreement
shall
become due and payable as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Acceleration
subject to all conditions, limitations and grace periods provided
therein.
The
Lenders undertake and confirm that: (a) the creation and realization of the
Floating Charge must be in accordance with the applicable Israeli laws and
regulations and such governmental consents as may be necessary, and (b) in
the
event of the realization of the Floating Charge with respect to the Funded
IP
then the sale, assignment and/or transfer of the Funded IP shall be subject
to
the provisions of applicable Israeli laws and regulations and the Pledgor’s
undertakings towards the OCS.
The
Floating Charge created for the benefit of the Lenders herein shall be
independent of any and all other charges created or which may be created in
the
future for the benefit of the Lenders by the Pledgor or any other affiliated
entity, subject to Section 1.6 of the Loan Agreement, shall not affect or be
affected by such other charges, and shall serve as a continuing security which
shall remain in full force until removed in accordance with the provisions
contained herein and in the Loan Agreement.
