V.           CONVERSION OF DEBENTURE.           This Debenture shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.

 
 

 

A.           Conversion Right.  Subject to the provisions of Section 4(c), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 4(b), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below).  The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to this Section 4(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share.  The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.
 
Section 1.“Conversion Amount” means the portion of the Principal and accrued Interest to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made.
 
Section 2.“Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date (as defined below), any Redemption Date or other date of determination the lesser of (a) $0.20 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment as provided herein, or (b) ninety five percent (95%) of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price during the 60 Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date, Redemption Date or other date of determination (the “Market Conversion Price”).
 
B.           Mechanics of Conversion.
 
Section 1.Optional Conversion.  To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall (A) transmit by facsimile (or otherwise deliver), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York Time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Conversion Notice”) to the Company and (B) if required by Section 4(b)(iv), surrender this Debenture to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking reasonably satisfactory to the Company with respect to this Debenture in the case of its loss, theft or destruction).  On or before the third Business Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Company shall (X) if legends are not required to be placed on certificates of Common Stock pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled which certificates shall not bear any restrictive legends unless required pursuant to Section 2(g) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.  If this Debenture is physically surrendered for conversion and the outstanding Principal of this Debenture is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Debenture and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the holder a new Debenture representing the outstanding Principal not converted.  The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Debenture shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock upon the transmission of a Conversion Notice.
 
Section 2.Company’s Failure to Timely Convert.  If within three Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of the facsimile copy of a Conversion Notice the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Holder or credit the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon such holder’s conversion of any Conversion Amount (a “Conversion Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out of pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate (and to issue such Common Stock) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Common Stock and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the Conversion Date.

 
 

 

Section 3.Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of any portion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Debenture is being converted or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Debenture upon physical surrender of this Debenture.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Debenture upon conversion.
 
C.      Limitations on Conversions.
 
Section 1.Beneficial Ownership.  The Company shall not effect any conversions of this Debenture and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Debenture or receive shares of Common Stock as payment of interest hereunder to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of such interest payment, the Holder, together with any affiliate thereof, would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest.    Since the Holder will not be obligated to report to the Company the number of shares of Common Stock it may hold at the time of a conversion hereunder, unless the conversion at issue would result in the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock without regard to any other shares which may be beneficially owned by the Holder or an affiliate thereof, the Holder shall have the authority and obligation to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section will limit any particular conversion hereunder and to the extent that the Holder determines that the limitation contained in this Section applies, the determination of which portion of the principal amount of this Debenture is convertible shall be the responsibility and obligation of the Holder.  If the Holder has delivered a Conversion Notice for a principal amount of this Debenture that, without regard to any other shares that the Holder or its affiliates may beneficially own, would result in the issuance in excess of the permitted amount hereunder, the Company shall notify the Holder of this fact and shall honor the conversion for the maximum principal amount permitted to be converted on such Conversion Date in accordance with Section 4(a) and, any principal amount tendered for conversion in excess of the permitted amount hereunder shall remain outstanding under this Debenture. The provisions of this Section may be waived by a Holder (but only as to itself and not to any other Holder) upon not less than 65 days prior notice to the Company. Other Holders shall be unaffected by any such waiver.
 
D.      Other Provisions.
 
Section 1.The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized Common Stock the full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all outstanding amounts under this Debenture.
 
Section 2.All calculations under this Section 4 shall be rounded to the nearest $0.0001 or whole share.
 
Section 3.The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holder, not less than such number of shares of the Common Stock as shall (subject to any additional requirements of the Company as to reservation of such shares set forth in this Debenture or in the Transaction Documents) be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions set forth herein) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and payment of interest hereunder. In the event that the Company has  less than the full number of such shares of Common Stock reserved and kept available for issuance upon conversion, then only upon the written request of the Holder shall the Company be required to promptly reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares of  Common Stock to comply with such requirement, including, without limitation, calling and holding a meeting of the stockholders of the Company within sixty (60) calendar days of such written request for the sole purpose of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, and the Board of Directors of the Company shall recommend to the stockholders a vote in favor of such proposal and shall vote all shares held by them, in proxy or otherwise, in favor of the proposal.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid, nonassessable and, if the Underlying Shares Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act, registered for public sale in accordance with such Underlying Shares Registration Statement.

 
 

 

Section 4.Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 herein for the Company ‘s failure to deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock upon conversion within the period specified herein and such Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief, in each case without the need to post a bond or provide other security. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
VI.    Adjustments to Conversion Price
 
A.      Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 5(a) is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold by the Company in connection with any Excluded Securities, for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue or sale (such price the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance the Conversion Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to the New Issuance Price.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Conversion Price under this Section 5(a), the following shall be applicable:
 
Section 1.Issuance of Options.  If the Company in any manner grants or sells any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Option” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option and upon conversion or exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock or of such Convertible Securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities.
 
Section 2.Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section, the “lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange or exercise” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the Convertible Security and upon the conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Security.  No further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such share of Common Stock upon conversion or exchange or exercise of such Convertible Securities, and if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Conversion Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section, no further adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.

 
 

 

Section 3.Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Securities, or the rate at which any Convertible Securities are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Conversion Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or Convertible Securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold.  For purposes of this Section, if the terms of any Option or Convertible Security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or Convertible Security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Conversion Price then in effect.
 
Section 4.Calculation of Consideration Received.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for the difference of (x) the aggregate fair market value of such Options and other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction, less (y) the fair market value of the securities other than such Option, issued or sold in such transaction and the other securities issued or sold in such integrated transaction will be deemed to have been issued or sold for the balance of the consideration received by the Company.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor will be deemed to be the gross amount raised by the Company; provided, however, that such gross amount is not greater than 110% of the net amount received by the Company therefor.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the Closing Bid Price of such securities on the date of receipt.  If any Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder.  The determination of such appraiser shall be deemed binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company.
 
Section 5.Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (A) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in Convertible Securities or (B) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or Convertible Securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
 
B.      Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall (a) pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock, (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 
 

 

C.      Purchase Rights.  If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Debenture (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
 
D.      Other Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 5 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price so as to protect the rights of the Holder under this Debenture; provided that no such adjustment will increase the Conversion Price as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 5.
 
E.      Other Corporate Events.  In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Debenture, at the Holder’s option, (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Debenture) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Debenture initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate.  Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders.  The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Debenture.
 
F.      Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the Company shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
G.      In case of any (1) merger or consolidation of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company with or into another Person, or (2) sale by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of more than one-half of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions, a Holder shall have the right to (A) exercise any rights under Section 2(b), (B) convert the aggregate amount of this Debenture then outstanding into the shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such merger, consolidation or sale, and such Holder shall be entitled upon such event or series of related events to receive such amount of securities, cash and property as the shares of Common Stock into which such aggregate principal amount of this Debenture could have been converted immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sales would have been entitled, or (C) in the case of a merger or consolidation, require the surviving entity to issue to the Holder a convertible Debenture with a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Debenture then held by such Holder, plus all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing thereon, which such newly issued convertible Debenture shall have terms identical (including with respect to conversion) to the terms of this Debenture, and shall be entitled to all of the rights and privileges of the Holder of this Debenture set forth herein and the agreements pursuant to which this Debentures were issued. In the case of clause (C), the conversion price applicable for the newly issued shares of convertible preferred stock or convertible Debentures shall be based upon the amount of securities, cash and property that each share of Common Stock would receive in such transaction and the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness or closing date for such transaction. The terms of any such merger, sale or consolidation shall include such terms so as to continue to give the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash and property set forth in this Section upon any conversion or redemption following such event. This provision shall similarly apply to successive such events.

 
 

 

VII.      REISSUANCE OF THIS DEBENTURE.
 
A.           Transfer.  If this Debenture is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Debenture to the Company, whereupon the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the transfer provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 6(d)), registered in the name of the registered transferee or assignee, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less then the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 6(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred.  The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 4(b)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Debenture, the outstanding Principal represented by this Debenture may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Debenture.
 
B.           Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Debenture.  Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Debenture, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Debenture, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Debenture (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing the outstanding Principal.
 
C.           Debenture Exchangeable for Different Denominations.  This Debenture is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Debenture or Debentures (in accordance with Section 6(d)) representing in the aggregate the outstanding Principal of this Debenture, and each such new Debenture will represent such portion of such outstanding Principal as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender.
 
D.           Issuance of New Debentures.  Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Debenture pursuant to the terms of this Debenture, such new Debenture (i) shall be of like tenor with this Debenture, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Debenture being issued pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Debentures issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Debenture immediately prior to such issuance of new Debentures), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Debenture, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Debenture, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Debenture, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest from the Issuance Date.

(d)  If at any time after the date hereof the Company shall file a registration statement, the Company shall include the Warrant Shares issuable to the Holder, pursuant to the terms of this Warrant and shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all Warrant Shares from time to time issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant; and the Company shall so list on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system, as the case may be, and shall maintain such listing of, any other shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant if and so long as any shares of the same class shall be listed on such national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
 
(e)  The Company will not, by amendment of its Articles of Incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed by it hereunder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may reasonably be requested by the Holder in order to protect the exercise privilege of the Holder against dilution or other impairment, consistent with the tenor and purpose of this Warrant.  The Company will not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect, and (ii) will take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.
 
(f)   This Warrant will be binding upon any entity succeeding to the Company by merger, consolidation or acquisition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
 
Section 4.              Taxes.  The Company shall pay any and all taxes, except any applicable withholding, which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant.
 
Section 5.              Warrant Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, no Holder, as such, shall be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of shares of capital stock of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the holder of this Warrant of the Warrant Shares which he or she is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant.  In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.  Notwithstanding this Section 5, the Company will provide the holder of this Warrant with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

 
 

 

Section 6.              Representations of Holder.  The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents that it is acquiring this Warrant and the Warrant Shares for its own account for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution of this Warrant or the Warrant Shares, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold this Warrant or any of the Warrant Shares for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of this Warrant and the Warrant Shares at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.  The Holder further represents, by acceptance hereof, that, as of this date, such holder is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1) of Regulation D promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act (an “Accredited Investor”).  Upon exercise of this Warrant the Holder shall, if requested by the Company, confirm in writing, in a form satisfactory to the Company, that the Warrant Shares so purchased are being acquired solely for the Holder’s own account and not as a nominee for any other party, for investment, and not with a view toward distribution or resale and that the Holder is an Accredited Investor.  If the Holder cannot make such representations because they would be factually incorrect, it shall be a condition to the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant that the Company receive such other representations as the Company considers reasonably necessary to assure the Company that the issuance of its securities upon exercise of this Warrant shall not violate any United States or state securities laws.
 
Section 7.              Ownership and Transfer.
 
(a)  The Company shall maintain at its principal executive offices (or such other office or agency of the Company as it may designate by notice to the holder hereof), a register for this Warrant, in which the Company shall record the name and address of the person in whose name this Warrant has been issued, as well as the name and address of each transferee.  The Company may treat the person in whose name any Warrant is registered on the register as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, but in all events recognizing any transfers made in accordance with the terms of this Warrant.
 
Section 8.              Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares.  The Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
 
(a)  Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price and Number of Shares upon Issuance of Common Stock.  If and whenever on or after the Issuance Date of this Warrant, the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, any shares of Common Stock (other than Excluded Securities) for a consideration per share less than a price (the “Applicable Price”) equal to the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance or sale, then immediately after such issue or sale the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to an amount equal to such consideration per share.  Upon each such adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be adjusted to the number of shares determined by multiplying the Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and dividing the product thereof by the Warrant Exercise Price resulting from such adjustment.
 
(b)  Effect on Warrant Exercise Price of Certain Events.  For purposes of determining the adjusted Warrant Exercise Price under Section 8(a) above, the following shall be applicable:

 
 

 
  
(i)           Issuance of Options.  If after the date hereof, the Company in any manner grants any Options and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of any such Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible securities issuable upon exercise of any such Option is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the granting or sale of such Option for such price per share.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(i), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon exercise of such Options or upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to any one share of Common Stock upon the granting or sale of the Option, upon exercise of the Option or upon conversion or exchange of any convertible security issuable upon exercise of such Option.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock or of such convertible securities upon the exercise of such Options or upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities.
 
(ii)          Issuance of Convertible Securities.  If the Company in any manner issues or sells any convertible securities and the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such convertible securities for such price per share.  For the purposes of this Section 8(b)(ii), the lowest price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of the convertible security and upon conversion or exchange of such convertible security.  No further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such convertible securities, and if any such issue or sale of such convertible securities is made upon exercise of any Options for which adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price had been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 8(b), no further adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
 
(iii)         Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion.  If the purchase price provided for in any Options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion or exchange of any convertible securities, or the rate at which any convertible securities are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock changes at any time, the Warrant Exercise Price in effect at the time of such change shall be adjusted to the Warrant Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such Options or convertible securities provided for such changed purchase price, additional consideration or changed conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be correspondingly readjusted.  For purposes of this Section 8(b)(iii), if the terms of any Option or convertible security that was outstanding as of the Issuance Date of this Warrant are changed in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Option or convertible security and the Common Stock deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such change.  No adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Warrant Exercise Price then in effect.
 
(iv)         Calculation of Consideration Received.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefore will be deemed to be the net amount received by the Company therefore.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of marketable securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company will be the market price of such securities on the date of receipt of such securities.  If any Common Stock, Options or convertible securities are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity, the amount of consideration therefore will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, as the case may be.  The fair value of any consideration other than cash or securities will be determined jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Business Days after the tenth (10th) day following the Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the holders of Warrants representing at least two-thirds (b) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding.  The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne jointly by the Company and the holders of Warrants.
 

 
 

 

(v)          Integrated Transactions.  In case any Option is issued in connection with the issue or sale of other securities of the Company, together comprising one integrated transaction in which no specific consideration is allocated to such Options by the parties thereto, the Options will be deemed to have been issued for a consideration of $0.001.
 
(vi)         Treasury Shares.  The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time does not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held will be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.
 
(vii)        Record Date.  If the Company takes a record of the holders of Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them (1) to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Stock, Options or in convertible securities or (2) to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock, Options or convertible securities, then such record date will be deemed to be the date of the issue or sale of the shares of Common Stock deemed to have been issued or sold upon the declaration of such dividend or the making of such other distribution or the date of the granting of such right of subscription or purchase, as the case may be.
 
(c)  Adjustment of Warrant Exercise Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately increased.  If the Company at any time after the date of issuance of this Warrant combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant will be proportionately decreased.  Any adjustment under this Section 8(c) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
 
(d)  Distribution of Assets.  If the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case:
 
(i)           any Warrant Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution shall be reduced, effective as of the close of business on such record date, to a price determined by multiplying such Warrant Exercise Price by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date minus the value of the Distribution (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors) applicable to one share of Common Stock, and (B) the denominator shall be the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such record date; and
 
(ii)          either (A) the number of Warrant Shares obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable immediately prior to the close of business on the record date fixed for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive the Distribution multiplied by the reciprocal of the fraction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (i), or (B) in the event that the Distribution is of common stock of a company whose common stock is traded on a national securities exchange or a national automated quotation system, then the holder of this Warrant shall receive an additional warrant to purchase Common Stock, the terms of which shall be identical to those of this Warrant, except that such warrant shall be exercisable into the amount of the assets that would have been payable to the holder of this Warrant pursuant to the Distribution had the holder exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such record date and with an exercise price equal to the amount by which the exercise price of this Warrant was decreased with respect to the Distribution pursuant to the terms of the immediately preceding clause (i).

 
 

 

(e)   Certain Events.  If any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 8 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of stock appreciation rights, phantom stock rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company’s Board of Directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Warrant Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of this Warrant so as to protect the rights of the holders of the Warrants; provided, except as set forth in section 8(c),that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 8(e) will increase the Warrant Exercise Price or decrease the number of shares of Common Stock obtainable as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 8.
 
(f)    Voluntary Adjustments By Company.  The Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
(g)   Notices.
 
(i)           Immediately upon any adjustment of the Warrant Exercise Price, the Company will give written notice thereof to the holder of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment.
 
(ii)          The Company will give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the Common Stock, (B) with respect to any pro rata subscription offer to holders of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Organic Change (as defined below), dissolution or liquidation, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
 
(iii)         The Company will also give written notice to the holder of this Warrant at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which any Organic Change, dissolution or liquidation will take place, provided that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to such holder.
 
Section 9.              Purchase Rights; Reorganization, Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger or Sale.
 
(a)  In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 8 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

 
 

 

(b)          Any recapitalization, reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to another Person or other transaction in each case which is effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive (either directly or upon subsequent liquidation) stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock is referred to herein as an “Organic Change.”  Prior to the consummation of any (i) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an acquiring Person or (ii) other Organic Change following which the Company is not a surviving entity, the Company will secure from the Person purchasing such assets or the successor resulting from such Organic Change (in each case, the “Acquiring Entity”) a written agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Holders representing at least two-thirds of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding(iii) of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to deliver to each Holder in exchange for such Warrants, a security of the Acquiring Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant and satisfactory to the Holders (including an adjusted warrant exercise price equal to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger or sale, and exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of the Warrants without regard to any limitations on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than any Applicable Warrant Exercise Price immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale).  Prior to the consummation of any other Organic Change, the Company shall make appropriate provision (in form and substance satisfactory to the Holders representing a majority of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants then outstanding) to insure that each of the Holders will thereafter have the right to acquire and receive in lieu of or in addition to (as the case may be) the Warrant Shares immediately theretofore issuable and receivable upon the exercise of the Holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise), such shares of stock, securities or assets that would have been issued or payable in such Organic Change with respect to or in exchange for the number of Warrant Shares which would have been issuable and receivable upon the exercise of such holder’s Warrant as of the date of such Organic Change (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant).
 
Section 10.          Lost, Stolen, Mutilated or Destroyed Warrant.  If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall promptly, on receipt of an indemnification undertaking (or, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, the Warrant), issue a new Warrant of like denomination and tenor as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed.
 
Section 11.           Notice.  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Warrant must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of receipt is received by the sending party transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be:

is made between
 
1.           NeoMedia Europe AG, Jens-Otto-Krag-Straße 11, 52146 Würselen, Germany

and
 
2.           YA Global Investments, L.P., acting through Yorkville Advisors LLC, 101 Hudson Street, Suite 3700, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302, USA
 
"Pledgee"
 
- Pledgor and Pledgee hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Parties" and each as a "Party" -

Preamble

A.
The Pledgor, a German stock corporation (Aktiengesellschaft) registered with the commercial register at the local court of Aachen under registration number HRB 8599, is a 100% subsidiary of NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal office located at Two Concourse Parkway, Suite 500, Atlanta, GA 30328, USA (“NeoMedia Inc.”). NeoMedia Inc. is the sole shareholder of 222,000 registered no-par value shares with restricted transferability (vinkulierte, auf den Namen lautende Stückaktien) (the "Shares") in the Pledgor.
 
B.
The Pledgee and NeoMedia Inc. are Parties to a variety of financing agreements pursuant to which the Pledgee has provided to NeoMedia Inc. since 2006 both equity and debt financing of which the current outstanding principal and/or liquidation value is $38,368,538.04 (in words: US-Dollars thirty eight million, three hundred sixty eight thousand, five hundred thirty-eight dollars and four cents) (the “Existing Financing”). All existing financing and security agreements previously entered into between the Pledgee and NeoMedia Inc. are listed in Annex 1 to this agreement (the “Existing Financing Documents”).

 

 

C.
In order to secure the liquidity of NeoMedia Inc. and its group companies (including the Pledgor), Pledgee has provided to NeoMedia Inc. a senior secured convertible debenture with a principal amount of $ 2,006,137.04 (in words: US-Dollars two million, six thousand, one hundred thirty seven dollars and four cents), included in the total debt and equity financing described above, with an interest rate of 14% p.a. and with a maturity date being July 29, 2012 (the “New Financing”). The New Financing is based on the following transaction documents: (i) a Ratification Agreement, (ii) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, (iii) a Secured Convertible Debenture, (iv) a Securities Purchase Agreement and (v) a Warrant (collectively the “New Financing Transaction Documents”). The New Financing Transaction Documents were executed on May 27, 2010. The Pledgor will have access to the funds provided to its parent entity NeoMedia Inc. under the New Financing for its general working capital purposes.
 
D.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Ratification Agreement NeoMedia Inc. has undertaken to cooperate fully with the Pledgee to cause the Pledgor (subject to and to the extent permissible under German law) to execute and deliver to the Pledgee any and all documents, instruments, or agreements in a form and substance acceptable to the Pledgee in all respects (including, without limitation, a Share Pledge Agreement, Security Assignment Agreement, and IP Pledge Agreement) pursuant to which the Pledgor shall become a guarantor of the Obligations (as defined in Section 1 of the Ratification Agreement) and grant a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Pledgee in all of the Pledgor's assets, including without limitation, all intellectual property.
 
E.
In order to give effect to the foregoing, and without prejudice to any other security interests already provided under the Existing Financing Documents or to be provided as condition precedent to the closing of the New Financing, Pledgor herewith grants Pledgee a security interest in form of a pledge of its Intellectual Property rights (Verpfändung von geistigen Eigentumsrechten) over its movable assets.

In detail:
 
2.1
all of its presently or future owned Trademarks and Trademark applications as well as exclusive Licenses relating to Trademarks to which it is a party, including but not limited to those referred to in Annex 2 hereto;
 
(a)
all renewals, reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing;

 

 

(b)
all proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by the Pledgor against third parties for past, present, future (i) infringement or dilution of any trademark or trademark licensed under any trademark license or (ii) injury to the goodwill associated with any trademark or any trademark licensed under any trademark license;
 
2.2
all of its presently or future owned patents, patent applications and exclusive patent licenses to which it is a party, including but not limited to those referred to in Annex 2 hereto;
 
(a)
all renewals, reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing;
 
(b)
all proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by the Pledgor against third parties for past, present, future infringement of any patent or patent licensed under any patent license.
 
2.3
all of its presently or future owned Intellectual Property rights except those mentioned in Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above and licenses to which it is a party, including but not limited to those referred to in Annex 2 hereto;
 
(a)
all renewals, reissues, continuations or extensions of the foregoing;
 
(b)
all proceeds of the foregoing, including any claim by the Pledgor against third parties for past, present, future infringement of any patent or patent licensed under any patent license.
 
2.4
The proceeds in Sections 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 are collectively referred to as the “Proceeds”.
 
2.5
The pledging as collateral covers all future Intellectual Property rights of the Pledgor and Proceeds thereof, if legally possible. The Parties agree that, if legally possible, no separate agreements on pledging of Intellectual Property rights as collateral shall be concluded, but that this Agreement covers the pledging of future Intellectual Property rights as collateral. Future Intellectual Property rights shall be deemed to be pledged to the Pledgee as collateral at the time of their coming into existence. If pledging of future Intellectual Property rights is not legally possible, Pledgor hereby undertakes to grant a pledge at the time the respective Intellectual Property right comes into existence.
 
2.6
The Pledgee hereby accepts the Pledges and Pledgor’s undertaking to grant pledges in the future.
 
2.7
The validity and effect of each Pledge shall be independent from the validity and the effect of any other Pledge created hereunder.
 
2.8
Each of the Pledges is in addition, and without prejudice, to any other security the Pledgee may now or hereafter hold as security for the Secured Obligations.

 

 
 
2.9
For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall exclude a transfer of all or part of the Pledges created hereunder by operation of law upon the transfer or assignment (including by way of assumption (Vertragsübernahme)) of all or part of the Secured Obligations by the Pledgee to any third party.
 
2.10
Waiving Section 418 BGB, the Parties hereto agree that the security created hereunder shall not cease to exist by any transfer or assumption of the Secured Obligations to, or by, any third party debtor.
 
3.
Purpose of Pledge
 
3.1
The Pledges affirmed herein are granted to the Pledgee to secure the Secured Obligations.
 
3.2
Notwithstanding that claims, titles, rights and remedies associated with the Intellectual Property are pledged hereunder, the Pledgor is entitled to exercise all rights and powers in respect of each of the Intellectual Property subject to Pledgor’s responsibilities according to Section 6 unless an event of default as set out in any of the Existing Financing Documents or the New Financing Transaction Documents (in particular as set forth in clause 2 of the Secured Convertible Debenture) ("Event of Default") has occurred.
 
4.
Rights of Use regarding the Intellectual Property rights
 
4.1
The Pledgor is entitled to use the Intellectual Property rights without restrictions in its business without the prior consent of the Pledgee and without the obligation to pay remuneration of any kind to the Pledgee. This entitlement includes future applications and registrations of Intellectual Property rights on terms usual in the market. The right of use includes the right to grant non-exclusive licenses. It does not include the right to grant exclusive licenses as well as measures to which the Pledgor is not entitled pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement.
 
4.2
The Pledgor is entitled to receive and retain Proceeds on the licensing of the Intellectual Property rights until such time as the Pledgee is entitled to enforce the Pledges (or any part thereof) constituted hereunder.

4.3
If such Proceeds are received by the Pledgor after the occurrence of an Event of Enforcement, the Proceeds shall be received by the Pledgor as trustee for the benefit of the Pledgee and shall be segregated from other property or funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee for the benefit of the Pledgee in the form so received (with any necessary endorsement).
 
4.4
The Pledgor will be listed as owner of the Intellectual Property rights in the relevant public registers, especially the patent and trademark registers, until the Pledgee establishes an Event of Enforcement. The foregoing applies to future applications and registrations of Intellectual Property rights as well.

 

 
 
4.5
The Pledgor is entitled and obliged to defend Intellectual Property rights on its own behalf and at its own expense against interferences by third parties (especially in case of opposition, nullity and cancellation proceedings) and infringements unless the Pledgor reasonably determines the hopelessness (Aussichtslosigkeit) or the economical unreasonableness of the case. The Pledgor is entitled to assert the Intellectual Property rights on its own behalf in court or otherwise. Regarding the Pledgee’s right to information and participation, Section 6.2 applies.
 
4.6
The Pledgee is entitled to revoke the Pledgor's right of use pursuant to the previous clauses with a notice period of ten (10) days if (i) an Event of Default occurs and the requirements for the enforcement of the Pledges are met (Pfandreife) or, without prior notice, (ii) if insolvency proceedings regarding the assets of the Pledgor have been initiated.

6.
Responsibilities of Pledgor
 
6.1
The Pledgor covenants to undertake all reasonable acts and omissions, if economically reasonable, which cause the Intellectual Property rights:
 
(a)
to come into full force,

 

 
 
(b)
to stay in full force (among other things to timely pay the fees necessary for upholding the Intellectual Property rights, not to waiver (neither in full or in part) any Intellectual Property rights or perform other acts which result in the full or partial termination or the Intellectual Property rights),
  
(c)
to be protected at their full economic value,
    
(d)

6.2
The Pledgor covenants to notify the Pledgee without undue delay (unverzüglich) in writing of any event or circumstance which might reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of any of the Pledges. In particular, the Pledgor shall without undue delay notify the Pledgee in writing of any attachment (Pfändung) in respect of any of the Intellectual Property, such notification to be accompanied by any documents the Pledgee needs to defend itself against the attachment and/or any claim of a third party, including, without limitation, a copy of the attachment order (Pfändungsbeschluß), and all other documents which are reasonably requested by the Pledgee. In addition, the Pledgor shall inform the attaching creditor of the existence of this Agreement.
 
6.3
The Pledgor shall inform the Pledgee without undue delay in writing in case Intellectual Property rights are infringed or otherwise attacked or disputed by third parties. The Pledgee is entitled but not obliged to support the Pledgor in the defense of the Intellectual Property rights. The Pledgor will inform the Pledgee about the status of respective proceedings upon request. The Pledgor can only make declarations which terminate proceedings (especially abandonment of action, settlements in and out of court, full or partial waiver of Intellectual Property rights) after prior written consent by the Pledgee.
 
6.4
The Pledgor shall, within 30 days after an occurrence, which leads to an incorrectness of Annex 2 and further without delay upon justified inquiry by Pledgee (especially but not exclusively in case of an Event of Default) - provide the following documents to the Pledgee:
 
(a)
Updated lists regarding form and scope of the Intellectual Property rights as done in Annex 2; and
 
(b)
updated lists regarding form and scope of Intellectual Property licenses granted.

Further Undertakings

to execute further documents and take such actions as are necessary in order to fully effect the purposes of this Agreement at the Pledgee's reasonable request.

7.3
The Pledgor shall at its own expense do all such things as the Pledgee may reasonably require to perfect or protect the security intended to be created hereby or any part thereof, or to facilitate the realization of the Intellectual Property rights or any part thereof; or to facilitate the exercise by the Pledgee of any of the rights, powers, authorities and discretions vested in it.
 
7.4
In the event that a security interest has not been properly created over the Intellectual Property rights, the Pledgor shall at its own expense do all such things as the Pledgee may reasonably require to cure any defects. If such defects render this Agreement invalid or otherwise affect the perfection or enforceability of the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, the Parties hereto shall execute a new pledge agreement at terms equivalent to this Agreement.
 
8.
Enforcement of the Pledges
 
8.1
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Enforcement, then in order to enforce the Pledges (or any of them), the Pledgee may at any time thereafter avail itself of all rights and remedies that a pledgee has under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany.
 
8.2
The Pledgee is entitled to exercise its rights, in particular to sell the Intellectual Property or any part thereof without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument that entitles to enforcement proceedings (vollstreckbarer Titel) by way of public auction (öffentliche Versteigerung).
 
8.3
The Pledgee will make reasonable efforts and will do all reasonable acts, such as but not limited to appropriate public announcements, to secure the highest possible selling price for the pledged Intellectual Property Rights.
 
8.4
In case of realizing the Pledges (or any of them), the Pledgee is entitled to revoke the Pledgor’s authorization to receive proceeds pursuant to Section 4.2. The Pledgee will treat proceeds received in this respect as additional security and use them for the reduction of the secured claims.

 

 
 
8.5
The Pledgor hereby expressly agrees that twenty (20) days' prior written notice to the Pledgor of the place and time of any such public auction shall be sufficient. Prior notice shall not be required if (i) the Pledgor has generally ceased to effect payments (Zahlungseinstellung) or (ii) the Pledgor has filed for the commencement of insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings or (iii) insolvency proceedings or similar proceedings have been opened against the Pledgor. The Pledgee is not obliged to submit to the Pledgor any additional notice of the anticipated sale of the Intellectual Property or any part thereof prior to such sale (including, without limitation, the notices set out under Section 1234 BGB. The public auction may take place at any place in the Federal Republic of Germany designated by the Pledgee.
 
8.6
If the Pledgee should seek to enforce the Pledges pursuant to, and in accordance with this Section 8 (Enforcement of the Pledges), the Pledgor shall, at its own expense, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt sale of the Intellectual Property or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Pledgee of any other right it may have as Pledgee. In particular, the Pledgor will provide the Pledgee with all available documents (especially the original certificates of grant or application certificates, respectively) regarding the Intellectual Property rights
 
8.7
The Pledgor shall not be entitled to any amounts received by realization of any of the Pledges prior to the termination of all Pledges. If the Pledges are enforced, in deviation of Sections 1225, 774 BGB, no rights of the Pledgee shall pass to the Pledgor by subrogation or otherwise unless and until all of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied and discharged in full and all of the Pledges have been terminated. Until then, the Pledgee shall be entitled to withhold any amounts received from the realization of the Pledges and to treat all enforcement proceeds as additional collateral for the Secured Obligations, or to seek satisfaction from such proceeds at any time.
 
8.8
The Pledgee may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Secured Obligations. In particular, the Pledgee shall not be obligated to exploit any other collateral granted to it prior to realization of the Pledges.
 
8.9
The Pledgor hereby expressly waives all defences of revocation (rights to claim the voidability of the underlying debt) (Einrede der Anfechtbarkeit) and set-off (rights to claim the possibility to set off counterclaims against the underlying debt) (Einrede der Aufrechenbarkeit) pursuant to Sections 770, 1211 BGB. This waiver shall not apply to a set-off with counterclaims which are (i) uncontested (unbestritten) or (ii) based on an unappealable court decision (rechtskräftig festgestellt).

 

 

8.10
In case the Pledges are realized the Pledgor does everything necessary without undue delay to have the Pledgee or the acquirer – as the case may be – registered as the owner of the Intellectual Property rights in the relevant public registers, especially in the registers of the patent and trademark offices.
 
8.11
After the complete unconditional, irrevocable and full payment and discharge of all Secured Obligations any proceeds remaining from the enforcement of the Pledges shall be transferred to the Pledgor at the cost and expense of the Pledgor. The Pledgee shall at all times until the full and complete satisfaction of all Secured Obligations take into consideration the legitimate interest of the Pledgor in exercising its rights and carrying out its duties under this Agreement.
 
8.12
Upon the full, complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Secured Obligations, the Pledgee will without undue delay upon the request of the Pledgor confirm the release of the Pledges (Pfandfreigabe) to the Pledgor as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties are aware that upon full, complete and irrevocable satisfaction of the Secured Obligations the Pledges, due to their accessory nature (Akzessorietät), cease to exist by operation of German mandatory law.
 
8.13
In addition, upon an Event of Default, Pledgee has all rights set forth in the New Financing Transaction Documents and the Existing Financing Documents, in particular those provided for in Article 5, Section 5 of the 2008 Security Agreement (as listed and defined in Annex 1). These rights are incorporated herein in their entirety by way of reference.
 
8.14
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any enforcement of the security created under this Agreement is restricted if and to the extent a claim for recourse (Rückgriffs- anspruch) against the Pledgor's direct or indirect shareholder whose obligations towards the Pledgee are secured hereby and that would only come into existence as a result of such enforcement is, in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgor, not fully valuable (voll werthaltig). In the event the Pledgor refers to this Section 8.14 in case of any future enforcement of the security created under this Agreement, it shall be obligated - at the Pledgee's written request - to render to the Pledgee a substantiated written statement supported by a suitable reasoning and other suitable evidence demonstrating that and why he considers the conditions for the enforcement restriction to be fulfilled.
 
The enforcement restriction does not apply if and to the extent that the Transferor has received through its direct or indirect shareholder funds from the Existing Financing, the New Financing or any additional future financing, as the case may be and such funds have not been repaid or paid to any of its direct or indirect shareholders.

 

 

9.
Waiver of Defences; Exercise of Powers
 
No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in the exercise of any power, right, privilege or remedy hereunder shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights or remedies provided hereunder are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.
 
10.
Indemnity
 
10.1
The Pledgee shall not be liable for damages suffered by the Pledgor in connection herewith other than in respect of such loss or damage which is suffered as a result of willful misconduct (Vorsatz) or gross negligence (grobe Fahrlässigkeit) of the Pledgee.
 
10.2
The Pledgor shall indemnify the Pledgee and keep the Pledgee indemnified against any and all damages, losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities incurred by or made against the Pledgee for anything done or omitted by the Pledgee in the exercise or purported exercise of the powers contained herein and occasioned by any breach of the Pledgor of any of its obligations or undertakings herein contained other than to the extent that such damages, losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities are incurred or made against the Pledgee as a result of the wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Pledgee.
 
11.
Duration and Independence
 
11.1
This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the Secured Obligations have been fully indefeasibily paid in full and discharged. The Pledges and corresponding rights shall not cease to exist in full if any payments made in satisfaction of the obligations have only temporarily and/or partly discharged the obligations. If all Secured Obligations have been fully indefeasibily paid in full and discharged during the duration of the Securities Purchase Agreement and, as a matter of German law (Akzessorietät), the Pledges have ceased to have effect as a consequence, the Pledges shall again be created ipso jure without any further action on the terms and conditions of this Agreement, if due to another draw-down or request for extension of credit or comparable mechanism by the Pledgor under any financing document concluded with the Pledgee, as applicable or otherwise, again secured obligations are created.
 
11.2
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Intellectual Property and no change or amendment whatsoever in the Existing Financing Documents or the New Financing Transaction Documents or in any document or agreement related thereto shall affect the validity or the scope of neither this Agreement nor the obligations which are imposed on the Pledgor pursuant to it.
 
11.3
The Pledges according to this Agreement are in addition to and independent of any other security interest or guarantee provided by the Pledgor or third parties to the Pledgee in respect of the Secured Obligations under the Existing Financing Documents and/or the New Financing Transaction Documents. None of such other security interests shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by, or shall be merged in any way with, this Agreement.

 

 
 
12.
Costs and Expenses
 
12.1
All costs, charges, fees (including, without limitations, legal fees and notarial fees) and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and execution, performance and amendment of this Agreement shall be borne by the Pledgor, in each case with any applicable value added tax or other taxes.
 
12.2
The Pledgor shall in particular without undue delay pay to the Pledgee upon demand costs and expenses that Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, execution, performance and amendment of this Agreement, (ii) the administration of this Agreement, (iii) the realization upon, any part of the Intellectual Property, (iv) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Pledgee hereunder (including fees for legal advice), or (v) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, and such expenses shall be secured obligations.
 
12.3
Any payment under this Agreement is to be made free and clear of any taxes or duties or other charges provided that if the Pledgor is prevented by law from making such payments free and clear of deductions or withholdings, the payment due shall be increased accordingly.
 
13.
Partial Invalidity
 
Without prejudice to any other provision hereof, if at any time any one (or more) provision(s) hereof is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction or with respect to any party, or if the Parties become aware of any omission (Vertragslücke) hereto of any terms which were intended to be included in this Agreement, such invalidity, illegality, unenforceability in such jurisdiction or with respect to such Party or Parties or such omission (Vertragslücke) shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, render invalid, illegal or unenforceable such provision or provisions in any other jurisdiction or with respect to any other party or parties hereto and shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. Such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or such omission (Vertragslücke) shall be replaced by the Parties with a provision which comes as close as reasonably possible to the commercial intentions of the invalid, unenforceable or omitted provision.
 
14.
Amendments
 
Changes and Amendments to this Agreement shall be made in writing and signed by both parties to this Agreement, unless notarial form by operation of applicable law is required. This also applies to this Section 14.

WorldWide Stock Transfer , LLC
433 Hackensack Avenue, Level L
Hackensack, New Jersey 07601

RE:         NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Agreement (the “Agreement”) of even date herewith by and between Neomedia Technologies, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the Company”), and YA Global Investments, L.P. (the “Buyer”).  Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company shall sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall purchase from the Company, convertible debentures (the “Debenture”) in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000.00, plus accrued interest, which are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at the Buyer’s discretion.  The Company has also issued to the Buyer warrants to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at the Buyer’s discretion (the “Warrant”).  These instructions relate to the following stock or proposed stock issuances or transfers:
 
 
1.
Shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of the Debenture (“Conversion Shares”) plus the shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of accrued interest into Common Stock (the “Interest Shares”).
 
 
2.
Up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Buyer upon exercise of the Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”).
 
This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to WorldWide Stock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”) to do the following:
 
 
1.
Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares.
 
 
a.
Instructions Applicable to Transfer Agent.  With respect to the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares, the Transfer Agent shall issue the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares to the Buyer from time to time upon delivery to the Transfer Agent of a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice (the “Conversion Notice”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A to the Debenture, or a properly completed and duly executed Exercise Notice  (the “Exercise Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Warrant, delivered to the Transfer Agent by the Company or on behalf of the Company by David Gonzalez, Esq. as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).  Upon receipt of a Conversion Notice or an Exercise Notice, the Transfer Agent shall, as soon as reasonably practical thereafter, (i) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice or the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Buyer or its designees, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled as set forth in the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, or (ii) provided the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Buyer, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Buyer shall be entitled to the Buyer’s or its designees’ balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (“DWAC”) system, provided that the Buyer causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction, and further provided that a certificate representing such shares of Common Stock would not be required to bear a legend restricting transfer.

 
 

 
 
 
b.
The Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that certificates representing the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company; provided that Buyer confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Company that the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares have been or will be sold only pursuant to an effective registration statement for such securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and that the Buyer has complied, or will comply, with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements; and further provided that counsel to the Company delivers (i) the Notice of Effectiveness set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto and (ii) an opinion of counsel in the form set forth in Exhibit II attached hereto, and that if the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares are not registered for sale under the Act, then the certificates for the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Interest Shares shall bear the following legend:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”
 
 
c.
In the event that counsel to the Company fails or refuses to render an opinion as required to issue the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares or the Interest Shares in accordance with the preceding paragraph (either with or without restrictive legends, as applicable), then the Company irrevocably and expressly authorizes counsel to the Buyer to render such opinion.  The Transfer Agent shall accept and be entitled to rely on such opinion for the purposes of issuing the Conversion Shares, the Warrant Shares or the Interest Shares.
 
 
d.
Upon the Company’s or the Escrow Agent’s receipt of a properly completed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice (along with evidence that the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) has been delivered to the Company), the Company or the Escrow Agent, as the case may be, shall, within one Trading Day thereafter, send to the Transfer Agent the Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as the case may be, which shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms of these instructions.  For purposes hereof “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Nasdaq Market is open for customary trading.

 
 

 
 
 
2.
All Shares.
 
 
a.
The Company hereby irrevocably appoints the Escrow Agent as a duly authorized agent of the Company for the purposes of authorizing the Transfer Agent to process issuances and transfers specifically contemplated herein.
 
 
b.
The Transfer Agent shall rely exclusively on the Conversion Notice or the Exercise Notice, and shall have no liability for relying on such instructions.  Any Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice delivered hereunder shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such notice or notices in accordance with the terms thereof.  Such notice or notices may be transmitted to the Transfer Agent by facsimile or any commercially reasonable method.
 
 
c.
The Company hereby confirms to the Transfer Agent and the Buyer that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be given to Transfer Agent by the Company with respect to the matters referenced herein.  The Company hereby authorizes the Transfer Agent, and the Transfer Agent shall be obligated, to disregard any contrary instructions received by or on behalf of the Company.
 
 
3.
Certain Notice Regarding the Escrow Agent. The Company and the Transfer Agent hereby acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is general counsel to the Buyer, a partner of the general partner of the Buyer and counsel to the Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated and referred herein.  The Company and the Transfer Agent agree that in the event of any dispute arising in connection with this Agreement or otherwise in connection with any transaction or agreement contemplated and referred herein, the Escrow Agent shall be permitted to continue to represent the Buyer and neither the Company nor the Transfer Agent will seek to disqualify such counsel.
 
 
4.
Company Acknowledgments.
 
 
a.
The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace the Transfer Agent as the Company’s transfer agent without the prior written consent of the Buyer.
 
 
b.
The Company agrees that in the event that the Transfer Agent resigns as the Company’s transfer agent the Company shall engage a suitable replacement transfer agent that will agree to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions within 5 business days from the effectiveness of such resignation.
 
 
c.
The Company acknowledges that the Buyer is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company hereunder and are a material inducement to the Buyer purchasing the Debenture pursuant to the Agreement.  The Company further acknowledges that without such representations and covenants of the Company made hereunder, the Buyer would not purchase the Debenture.
 
 
d.
The Company specifically acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto of any provision hereof, the Buyer will be irreparably damaged and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically enforced.  Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by this instrument, the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other rights or remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security, and/or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.

 
 

 
 
 
5.
Transfer Agent Binding Disclaimer:  In consideration for the Transfer Agent agreeing and attesting to all terms in the above referenced Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, in particular any kind of lawsuit and or action that may arise from the Buyer’s instructing the Transfer Agent to issue shares based on the legality of the Agreement whereas the Company is denying the request in full or partially for whatever reason, the Company, Buyer and any other third party involved agree for ourselves, our successors, legal representatives and assigns, at all times to defend, indemnify and save the Transfer Agent, their successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, from actions, suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, taxes, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, and other expenses of every nature and character that arises from this action.

In order to secure the liquidity of NeoMedia Inc. and its group (including the Transferor), Transferee has provided to NeoMedia Inc. a senior secured convertible debenture with a principle amount of $2,006,137.04 (in words: US-Dollars two million, six thousand, one hundred thirty seven dollars and four cents), included in the total debt and equity financing described above, with an interest rate of 14% p.a. and with a maturity date being July 29, 2012 (the “New Financing”). The New Financing is based on the following transaction documents: (i) a Ratification Agreement, (ii) Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, (iii) a Secured Convertible Debenture, (iv) a Securities Purchase Agreement and (v) a Warrant (collectively the “New Financing Transaction Documents”). The New Financing Transaction Documents were executed on May 27, 2010. The Transferor will have access to the funds provided to its parent entity NeoMedia Inc. under the New Financing for its general working capital purposes.
 

 
 
D.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Ratification Agreement NeoMedia Inc. has undertaken to cooperate fully with the Transferee to cause the Transferor (subject to and only to the extent legally permissible under German law) to execute and deliver to the Transferee any and all documents, instruments, or agreements in a form and substance acceptable to the Transferee in all respects (including, without limitation, a Share Pledge Agreement, Security Assignment Agreement, and IP Pledge Agreement) pursuant to which the Transferor shall become a guarantor of the Obligations (as defined in Section 1 of the Ratification Agreement) and grant a first priority perfected security interest in favor of the Transferee in all of the Transferor’s assets, including without limitation, all intellectual property.
 
E.
In order to give effect to the foregoing, and without prejudice to any other security interests already provided under the Existing Financing Documents or to be provided as condition precedent to the closing of the New Financing, Transferor herewith grants Transferee a security interest in form of a security assignment (Sicherungsübereignung) over its movable assets.
 
Now, therefore, the Parties enter in the following agreement (the "Agreement") as follows:
 
1.
Definitions
 
Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the New Financing Transaction Documents.
 
2.
Transfer of Title for Security Purposes „SICHERUNGS­ÜBEREIGNUNG"
 
2.1
The Transferor hereby transfers to the Transferee title (Sicherungseigentum) to:
 
(a)
all its present and future movable inventory, as well as all other raw materials and supplies, finished and unfinished products and merchandise located now and in future at the premises redlined on the map enclosed as Annex 2; and
 
(b)
all its present and future production equipment and machinery (technische Anlagen und Maschinen) as well as furniture, fixtures and equipment (Betriebs­und Geschäftsausstattung) located now and in future at the premises redlined on the map enclosed as Annex 2.
 
The annexes form an integral part of this Agreement. The premises specified pursuant to Sections 2.1 (a) to 2.1 (b) are referred to as the "Premises" and the transferred assets as the "Collateral".
 
2.2
To the extent that the Transferor has ownership or co-ownership (Miteigentum) of the Collateral or acquires such rights in the future the Transferor hereby transfers to the Transferee the ownership or co-ownership. To the extent that the Transferor has any inchoate rights (Anwartschaftsrechte) in respect of the Collateral the Transferor hereby transfers to the Transferee such inchoate rights.
 

 
 
2.3
Delivery of possession of the Collateral to the Transferee is hereby replaced by the agreement that the Transferor retains actual possession and holds the Collateral in gratuitous custody (unentgeltliche Verwahrung) for the Transferee to the effect that the Transferee becomes indirect possessor (mittelbarer Besitzer) as defined in section 868 of the German Civil Code "Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch" – "BGB" with respect to the Collateral. The Transferor hereby further assigns all present and future claims against third parties obtaining actual possession of the Collateral to the Transferee. The Transferee hereby accepts such assignment.
 
2.4
The Transferee hereby accepts the transfer of the Collateral and the transfer of the inchoate rights.
 
3.
Secured Obligations
 
The transfer of title hereunder is constituted in order to secure the prompt and complete satisfaction of any and all obligations (present and future, actual and contingent) which are (or are expressed to be) or become owing by NeoMedia Inc. and its affiliates and subsidiaries (including the Transferor) to the Transferee under the Existing Financing and the New Financing, in particular, the Secured Convertible Debenture, and under any additional future financing provided by the Transferee to NeoMedia Inc., as the case might be. The secured obligations shall, for the avoidance of doubt, also include obligations incurred by the Transferor on or after the opening of insolvency proceedings, shall apply to the Transferor irrespective of any corporate restructuring or transformation and shall also apply to any contingent obligations on the grounds of invalidity or unenforceability of the Existing Financing Documents and / or the New Financing Transaction Documents, in particular claims on the grounds of unjustified enrichment (ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung) (together referred to as the "Secured Obligations").
 
4.
Use and Disposal of Collateral
 
4.1
The Transferor is authorised to use and, as the case may be, dispose of the Collateral on its own behalf in the ordinary course of business as long as such authorisation has not been revoked by the Transferee.
 
4.2
The Transferee is entitled to revoke in writing the aforementioned authorisation and claim delivery of the Collateral upon an Event of Default (as defined below in Section 7.1).
 
4.3
Upon expiry of the Transferor's authorisation to use and dispose of the Collateral the Transferee is entitled to claim delivery of all documents pertaining to the Collateral.
 
5.
Undertakings
 
The Transferor undertakes towards the Transferee as follows:
 

 
5.1
Principal Undertakings
 
(a)
to execute without undue delay all documents and do all things as the Transferee may reasonably require to perfect and protect the security created by a security transfer or to facilitate the enforcement or realisation of the security created by such security transfer;
 
(b)
not to do or cause or permit to be done anything which will, or could be reasonably expected to, materially adversely affect the security or the rights of the Transferee under this Agreement or which in any way materially depreciates, jeopardises or otherwise prejudices the security created under this Agreement; and
 
(c)
to ensure, as far as legally possible and economically reasonable, that all rights granted to the Transferee are prior in ranking to any rights of third parties.
 
5.2
List of Collateral
 
(a)
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, the Transferor shall submit to the Transferee all information, lists and reports which the Transferee considers to be necessary in order to evaluate the Collateral. All lists to be submitted to the Transferee shall contain at least the following information:
 
(i)
a list of the complete Collateral owned by the Transferor by delivering a detailed description and listing of each single object including accurate information about its current market price;
 
(ii)
information about the extent, against whom and with respect to which objects the Transferor has inchoate rights; and
 
(iii)
a detailed description of the Premises where the Collateral is located.
 
(b)
Notwithstanding clause (a) above, in order to protect its legitimate interests the Transferee is entitled to request the delivery of the above mentioned lists at any time but not more than once per calendar year. Furthermore, the Transferee, acting reasonably, is entitled to request additional information or documents from the Transferor in order to protect its legitimate interests.
 
(c)
The lists referred to in Section 5.2 (a) shall serve for the purpose of notification only. This means that the Collateral transferred pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement shall be fully owned by the Transferee even if the Collateral is not or only partially listed in the lists submitted to the Transferee.
 
5.3
Reporting Obligations
 
(a)
In the event that the value of the Collateral transferred to the Transferee is subsequently affected because of complaints or for other reasons the Transferor shall immediately notify the Transferee thereof, and he will act in accordance with the instructions given by the Transferee. The Transferor's obligation to notify pursuant to this Section 5.3 (a) only exists if the value of the security granted by this Agreement is substantially affected.
 

 
 
(b)
In the event that the Transferee's entitlement to the transferred Collateral is impaired or jeopardised by attachment (Pfändung), transfer order (Überweisung) or otherwise the Transferor shall immediately notify the Transferee thereof. In case of an attachment the Transferor shall deliver to the Transferee a copy of the attachment and transfer order (Pfändungs- und Überweisungsbeschluss) and all other documents necessary to object against the attachment and he shall notify the attaching creditor immediately of the Transferee's security interest.
 
5.4
Right of Inspection
 
(a)
The Transferee has the right to inspect or have inspected by authorised personnel the Transferor's documents in order to evaluate and enforce the Collateral, if a right of realisation exists.
 
(b)
To the extent that the Collateral has been recorded in Electronic Data Processing (“EDP”) systems, the Transferor shall allow – if a right of realisation exists – the Transferee, upon the latter's written demand, to use the EDP system, including the periphery, with the data stored in respect of all bookings relating to the assignment, and the Transferor shall further make available the operators and the necessary programs (software) required in connection therewith, and shall do whatever is necessary to put the EDP system into operation and repair the same or otherwise.
 
(c)
Any person inspecting any of the Transferor’s documents shall be bound by a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Transferor.
 
5.5
Handling of the Collateral, Third Parties' Rights
 
(a)
Subject to the right of use and disposal pursuant to Section 4, the Transferor will use reasonable endeavours to ensure the Collateral does not leave the Premises and that it is handled properly.
 
(b)
The Transferor shall immediately notify the Transferee of any change of the location of the Collateral.
 
(c)
The Transferor shall where appropriate in the ordinary course of business terminate any person’s extended retention of title arrangements (verlängerter Eigentumsvorbehalt) in respect of the Collateral by paying the purchase price thereof.
 
(d)
So far as there may be statutory liens of third parties (e.g. landlord, lessor, stockkeeper, work contractor) to the Collateral the Transferor shall, on the Transferee's request, but only after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from the date on which the rent, storage charges or remuneration for contracts for work and services had been due, furnish proof to the Transferee of such payment.
 

 
5.6
Insurance of the Collateral
 
(a)
During the term of the transfer the Transferor shall provide the Collateral with market standard insurance cover against the usual risks, substantially in line with the provisions of the Existing Financing Documents, in particular with the clause 6.5 (b) of the 2008 Security Agreement (as listed and defined in Annex 1).
 
(b)
The Transferor shall notify the respective insurer immediately that:
 
(i)
the Transferee holds the title of the Collateral;
 
(ii)
the Transferee holds all rights arising from the insurance agreement to the extent they relate to the Collateral;
 
(iii)
any payments under the insurance agreements relating to damages during the term of the transfer are to be performed directly to the Transferee; and
 
(iv)
the Transferee assumes only the rights and not the obligations arising from the insurance agreement, with the further limitation that, without the Transferee's consent, the Transferor is not entitled to cancellation of the insurance agreement.
 
The Transferor procures that the insurer submits an insurance certificate "Versicherungsschein" to the Transferee.
 
(c)
Upon the Transferee's request the Transferor shall immediately submit to the Transferee original copies, copies or sufficient extracts of each insurance policy together with a premium receipt or other proof of payment and, upon the Transferee's reasonable request, an esteemed insurance broker's report regarding such insurance policy.
 
6.
Other Rights of Transferee
 
6.1
If, and to the extent, documents required for the evaluation or realisation of the Collateral have been delivered by the Transferor to a third party (especially to an accountant or tax advisor) the Transferor hereby assigns to the Transferee his claims against such third party for providing information and for delivering such documents and hereby authorises the third party to provide the Transferee with such information and documents required to evaluate and realise the Collateral.
 
6.2
In so far as the EDP is executed by third parties the Transferor hereby assigns to the Transferee all its claims for performance and authorises these third parties to execute the electronic data processing on behalf of the Transferee in the same manner as they were obliged to towards the Transferor, provided that the Transferee requests them to do so.
 

 
6.3
In order to protect its legitimate interests the Transferee is entitled to revoke the authorisation to use and dispose of the Collateral and to request delivery of the Collateral if the Transferor is in a material breach of its duty to handle the Collateral with care or if it disposes of the Collateral not in the ordinary course of business.
 
6.4
If no proof is furnished that mature claims for rent, storage charges or remuneration for contracts for work and services have been satisfied by the Transferor the Transferee will be entitled to effect payment at the Transferor's expense in order to avert such third parties' liens.
 
6.5
The Transferor hereby assigns to the Transferee all present and future claims against the insurance companies for the security purpose set out in Section 3 of this Agreement.
 
6.6
The Transferee hereby accepts such assignment.
 
7.
Realisation of Collateral
 
7.1
Upon the occurrence of an event of default as defined in any of the Existing Financing Documents or the New Financing Transaction Documents (in particular as set forth in clause 2 of the Secured Convertible Debenture) (“Event of Default”) and notwithstanding the provisions in Section 4 of this Agreement the Transferee is entitled to revoke the right of use and disposal as described in Section 4 above, to request delivery of the Collateral, to realise the Collateral and enforce all other rights arising from this Agreement.
 
7.2
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default the Transferee shall be authorised to terminate retention of title arrangements (Eigentumsvorbehalt) by paying the purchase price thereof or part thereof on behalf and at the expense of the Transferor. The Transferor hereby waives its right to object against such performance by the Transferee.
 
7.3
In the event of a realisation the Transferor shall immediately submit to the Transferee all documents relating to the Collateral (and other documents required).
 
7.4
Before realisation the Transferee shall give written warning to the Transferor twenty (20) days in advance. Advance warning is not required if the Transferor or an obligor has ceased payment or has been subject to insolvency proceedings.
 
7.5
The Transferee is entitled to realise the Collateral also by private sale (freihändiger Verkauf) on its own behalf or on the Transferor's behalf. The Transferee shall use its best endeavours to achieve the best obtainable price. At the Transferee's request the Transferor will assist in the realisation or, according to the instructions of the Transferee, sell the Collateral at best offer. The Transferor will pass any payment or any other benefit obtained from the realisation on to the Transferee.
 

 
7.6
The Transferee may, at its sole discretion, determine which of several securities shall be used to satisfy the Secured Obligations.
 
7.7
In addition, upon an Event of Default, Transferee has all rights set forth in the New Financing Transaction Documents and the Existing Financing Documents, in particular those provided for in Article 5, Section 5 of the 2008 Security Agreement (as listed and defined in Annex 1). These rights are incorporated herein in their entirety by way of reference.
 
7.8
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any enforcement of the security created under this Agreement is restricted if and to the extent a claim for recourse (Rückgriffsanspruch) against the Transferor's direct or indirect shareholder whose obligations towards the Transferee are secured hereby and that would only come into existence as a result of such enforcement is, in the reasonable opinion of the Transferor, not fully valuable (voll werthaltig). In the event the Transferor refers to this Section 7.8 in case of any future enforcement of the security created under this Agreement, it shall be obligated - at the Transferee's written request - to render to the Transferee a substantiated written statement supported by a suitable reasoning and other suitable evidence demonstrating that and why he considers the conditions for the enforcement restriction to be fulfilled.
 
The enforcement restriction does not apply if and to the extent that the Transferor has received through its direct or indirect shareholder funds from the Existing Financing, the New Financing or any additional future financing, as the case may be and such funds have not been repaid or paid to any of its direct or indirect shareholders.
 
8.
Release
 
Upon complete satisfaction of the Secured Obligations the Transferee will retransfer the Collateral to the Transferor and surrender to the Transferor any remaining surplus arising from the realisation. The Transferee will, however, transfer any of the Collateral to a third party if and to the extent it is obliged to do so.
