The Collateral consists of all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the following personal property:
All goods, Accounts (including health-care receivables), Equipment, Inventory, contract rights or rights to payment of money, leases, license agreements, franchise agreements, General Intangibles (including all Intellectual Property, except as noted below), commercial tort claims, documents, instruments (including any promissory notes), chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), cash, deposit accounts, fixtures, letters of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), securities, and all other investment property, supporting obligations, and financial assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located; and
all Borrower’s Books relating to the foregoing, and any and all claims, rights and interests in any of the above and all substitutions for, additions, attachments, accessories, accessions and improvements to and replacements, products, proceeds and insurance proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral does not include (a) any interest of Borrower as a lessee or sublessee under a real property lease; (b) rights held under a license that are not assignable by their terms without the consent of the licensor thereof (but only to the extent such restriction on assignment is enforceable under applicable law); (c) any interest of Borrower as a lessee under an Equipment lease if Borrower is prohibited by the terms of such lease from granting a security interest in such lease or under which such an assignment or Lien would cause a default to occur under such lease; provided, however, that upon termination of such prohibition, such interest shall immediately become Collateral without any action by Borrower or Collateral Agent; (d) more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the presently existing and hereafter arising issued and outstanding shares of capital stock owned by Borrower of any Foreign Subsidiary which shares entitle the holder thereof to vote for directors or any other matter, but only to the extent that pledging greater than sixty-five percent (65%) of such stock of such Foreign Subsidiary would result in a material net increase in tax liability for Borrower and such Foreign Subsidiary taken as a whole (taking into account (i) any applicable offsets related to credits for the underlying foreign income taxes in the case of additional US income taxes required to be paid as a result of a deemed dividend and (ii) the application of net operating loss carry forwards, if any); or (e) any intent-to-use trademark or service mark applications of Borrower.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Collateral shall exclude (i) the assets commonly known as “TAK-580/DAY101” and “vosaroxin” (the “Monetized Assets”), and (ii) automatically and as of such consummation, upon the consummation of a sale, license or other monetization (the “Asset Sale”) of the assets commonly known as “Vecabrutinib” and “SNS-510” (the “Sold Assets”), the Sold Assets; provided, however, that the Collateral shall include any consideration or other proceeds of the Monetized Assets and the Sold Assets received by Borrower, whether under a sale of the Monetized Assets or the Asset Sale or otherwise, whether now owned or hereafter acquired.
