R E C I T A L S:

 

A. This Agreement is executed in connection with that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of September 5, 2018, by and among Debtor, as buyer, and Secured Party and US SPINE, INC., a Delaware corporation, collectively, as sellers (the “APA”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings assigned to them in the APA.

 

B. Pursuant to Section 2.1(a) of the APA, Debtor is obligated to pay off or assume that certain loan made by North Stadium Investments, LLC (“North Stadium”) to the Secured Party with a principal balance as of the date hereof of $2,500,000.00 (the “North Stadium Note”).

 

C. Pursuant to Section 2.1(b) of the APA, Debtor is indebted to Secured Party pursuant to that certain Promissory Note in the original face amount of $6,000,000.00 dated of even date herewith executed by Debtor, as maker, and payable to Secured Party, as payee (the “Seller Note” and together with the North Stadium Note, the “Notes”).

 

D. Secured Party has conditioned its consummation of the transactions contemplated by the APA and its acceptance of the Seller Note upon, among other things, the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Debtor.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreement by Secured Party to accept from Debtor amounts evidenced by the Seller Note as a portion of the Purchase Price and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged and confessed, the parties agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Grant of Security Interest.

As used herein, “Excluded Property” means (a) contractual rights to the extent and for so long as the grant of a security interest therein pursuant hereto would violate the terms of the agreement under which such contractual rights arise or exist to the extent such prohibition is enforceable under applicable law, (b) rights under governmental licenses and authorizations to the extent and for so long as the grant of a security interest therein is prohibited by and enforceable under applicable law, and (c) any intent-to-use trademark or service mark application prior to the filing of a statement of use or amendment to allege use.
