BACKSTOP SECURITY SUPPORT AGREEMENT

Exhibit 10.1

This Backstop Security Support Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on November 2, 2015 by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ an individual investor (or, subject to the reasonable approval of Ener-Core (as defined below), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by an affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ herein, with respect to the individual or such affiliate, as the case may be, the “Investor”) and Ener-Core, Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of Delaware (“Ener-Core”), each or both of which may also hereinafter be referred to as a “Party” or the “Parties” respectively.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Ener-Core has entered into that certain Commercial License Agreement dated Nov 14, 2014, as subsequently amended (the “CLA”), with the Dresser-Rand Company, a New York General Partnership and SIEMENS Business (“D-R”); and

WHEREAS, Ener-Core has performed in all material respects its obligations to date under terms and conditions of the CLA and is currently in compliance in all material respects with all material terms of the CLA and without default; and

WHEREAS, Ener-Core is required by the terms of the CLA to put into place a Backstop Security (“BSS”) in the amount of $2.1 million to secure performance of its obligations during the term of BSS and in compliance with the requirements imposed upon the BSS by the CLA; and

WHEREAS, Investor has reviewed the CLA (including the amendment) and is willing to provide the financial and other assistance necessary for Ener-Core to have the BSS in place until such a time when Ener-Core has sufficient capital on its balance sheet to support, without the financial and other assistance of Investor, the BSS under conditions set forth below;

WHEREAS, Ener-Core will have obtained, prior to the beginning of the Term (as defined below) hereof and as a condition precedent to the beginning of such Term, appropriate executed waivers from the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (as defined below), which waivers will allow Ener-Core to grant the security interest contemplated by this Agreement and the Security Agreement (as defined below); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and of the undertakings and covenants of each of the Parties set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

Letter of Credit. Investor shall promptly (but in any event no later than November 9, 2015) provide Ener-Core with financial and other assistance (including but not limited to the provision by Investor of sufficient and adequate collateral acceptable to East West Bank (“EW”)) as necessary in order for Ener-Core to obtain a $2.1 million letter of credit from EW acceptable to D-R as the BSS and with an expiration date of June 30, 2017 (“Letter of Credit”), at and after which time (i.e., June 30, 2017) Investor shall have no further obligation hereunder to provide any financial or other assistance to EW or otherwise.

2.	TERM. As used in this Agreement, the “Term” will mean that period commencing on the date Ener-Core obtains the Letter of Credit from EW and ending on the earliest of any of the following events:

	(a)	Ener-Core effectively replaces the Letter of Credit with an alternative BSS in favor of D-R;

	(b)	D-R communicates in writing to Ener-Core the elimination of the requirement of the BSS for the Pacific Ethanol Stockton Project covered by the CLA; or

	(c)	The last day of the twenty-fourth calendar month following the commencement of the Term.

3.	FEES. In consideration of Investor’s performance of its covenants, obligations and agreements set forth in this Agreement, Ener-Core hereby agrees to pay Investor the following cash payments as fees (subject, in the case of Sections 3(b) and 3 (d), to reduction pursuant to the provisions of Section 6):

	(a)	a one-time fee equal to 4% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, which fee will be due and payable on the first day of the Term;

	(b)	for each calendar month (or part thereof if applicable in the case where the Term ends pursuant to Section 2) commencing on the first day of the Term and continuing for a total of twelve months (unless the Term ends earlier as provided in Section 2), a monthly fee equal to 1% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, which monthly fee will be due and payable at the end of each such calendar month;

	(c)	if after the initial twelve months the Term has not ended, then a one-time fee equal to 4% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, which will be due and payable on the business day immediately following the expiration of such twelve months (as used in this Agreement, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or any day on which the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, CA is closed);

	(d)	if after the initial twelve months the Term has not ended, then for each calendar month (or part thereof if applicable in the case where the Term ends pursuant to Section 2) commencing with the month immediately following the initial twelve months and continuing for a total of twelve months (unless the Term ends earlier as provided in Section 2), a monthly fee equal to 2% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, which monthly fee will be due and payable at the end of each such calendar month;

(e)

in the event that Investor is required by EW to make any payments on the Letter of Credit, Ener-Core shall, within ten calendar days after Ener-Core’s receipt of written or electronic notice of such payment to EW by Investor, pay to Investor the full amount of any such payment made by Investor to EW; and

	(f)	to the extent Investor is required by EW to pay any upfront fees or expenses in connection with Investor’s obtaining of the Letter of Credit, Ener-Core shall, within five calendar days after Ener-Core’s receipt of written or electronic notice of such payment by Investor to EW, reimburse Investor the full amount of any such payment made by Investor to EW.

In addition, Ener-Core is currently anticipating the payment to EW of an upfront fee equal to 2% of the amount of the Letter of Credit in exchange for EW’s services in setting up and supporting the Letter of Credit for the BSS with D-R. In the event Ener-Core is able to obtain an upfront fee of less than 2% from EW related to EW’s services in setting up and supporting the Letter of Credit for the BSS with D-R, Ener-Core agrees to pay to Investor an additional one-time fee equal to 50% of the reduction in upfront fees to EW, between the anticipated upfront fee of 2% and the actual upfront fee paid. By way of example only, if Ener-Core were able to obtain an upfront fee from EW of 1% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, that would represent a savings of 1% from the anticipated upfront fee of 2%, and hence Ener-Core would pay Investor an additional one-time fee equal to 0.5% of the amount of the Letter of Credit, which additional fee would be due and payable on the first day of the Term. Payment by Ener-Core to Investor of any fees under this Section 3 or under any other provisions of this Agreement is subject to such payment being permitted at such time pursuant to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into as of even date herewith by and among ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, Ener-Core and Empery Tax Efficient, LP in its capacity as collateral agent for the Senior Lenders (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement).

WARRANTS. As an additional incentive and consideration for Investor to enter into the transaction, Ener-Core agrees, subject only to, and conditioned only upon, the issuance of such Letter of Credit as accepted by D-R as sufficient to satisfy the BSS obligation under the CLA, to issue to Investor on the first day of the Term a one-time warrant (“Warrant”) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, under which Investor will have the right

(a)

to purchase 74,000 shares (collectively, the “Shares”) of the common stock of Ener-Core, par value $0.0001 per share, which Warrant will have a duration of 5 years from the first day of the Term and an exercise price of $15.00/share, subject to adjustment for stock splits or other similar changes to Ener-Core’s capital structure. The Warrant will become exercisable on the one-year anniversary of the first day of the Term.

SECURITY. As an additional incentive and consideration for Investor to enter into the transaction, Ener-Core shall, subject only to, and conditioned only upon, the issuance of the Letter of Credit as accepted by D-R as sufficient to satisfy the BSS obligation under the CLA, provide to Investor a security interest, as evidenced by a Security Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, in its assets as follows:

	(a)	Subordinated to D-R’s security interest in $2.1M BSS or any partial proceeds that may be recovered therefrom under terms and conditions of the BSS and CLA.

	(b)	Subordinated to the security interest held by the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) of Ener-Core (as referenced in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Ener-Core with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2015 and May 7, 2015) pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2015 (as amended, including the First Amendment dated as of May 7, 2015, the “Pledge Agreement”).

	(c)	Subject to the same cumulative qualifications, exceptions and permitted liens (“Permitted Liens”) as contained in the provisions of the Pledge Agreement.

	(d)	This security interest for the benefit of Investor will terminate upon the earlier of the elimination of the requirement of the BSS or the entire Letter of Credit is replaced with an alternative BSS in favor of D-R; provided, however, that in each case, Ener-Core has no outstanding payment obligations at the time to the Investor under this Agreement and/or the Security Agreement (provided, further, that the security interest will terminate upon the full satisfaction of such payment obligations).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any security interest granted under this Agreement and under the Security Agreement shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement and limited to the extent not permitted by the Intercreditor Agreement. For purposes of clarity, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree to the following legend: “This Agreement and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Intercreditor Agreement, and certain guarantees of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, as such agreements and such guarantees have been and hereafter may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; and each party to the Agreement, by its acceptance hereof, irrevocably agrees to be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.”

EARLY COLLATERAL EXCHANGE; NO PENALTY. Ener-Core will have the right to replace at any time (or times), and in whole or in part, the collateral provided by Investor in connection with the Letter of Credit for the BSS with an alternative solution, with or without notice to Investor, and with no penalty for the exchange (“Early Exchange”). Commencing with the calendar month in which there is an Early Exchange, the monthly fees pursuant to Section 3(b) or 3(d) above, as applicable, will be reduced a pro-rated amount in accordance with the corresponding proportionate reduction of collateral resulting from the Early Exchange. Upon an Early Exchange replacing all of the collateral, the obligation of Ener-Core to pay the monthly fees pursuant to Sections 3(b) and 3(d) above will terminate and cease as of the month in which the full replacement is completed and all other cash obligations of Ener-Core to Investor hereunder shall immediately terminate and cease; provided, however, Ener-Core shall be responsible for any unpaid fees for the months prior to the Early Exchange as well as the monthly fee in which the Early Exchange occurs.

Issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax, withholding tax, transfer agent fee or other incidental tax or expense in respect of the issuance of such certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the registration of any certificates for Warrant Shares or Warrants in a name other than that of the Holder. The Holder shall be responsible for all other tax liability that may arise as a result of holding or transferring this Warrant or receiving Warrant Shares upon exercise hereof.

7. Replacement of Warrant. If this Warrant is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation hereof, or in lieu of and substitution for this Warrant, a New Warrant, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity (which shall not include a surety bond), if requested. Applicants for a New Warrant under such circumstances shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and procedures and pay such other reasonable third-party costs as the Company may prescribe. If a New Warrant is requested as a result of a mutilation of this Warrant, then the Holder shall deliver such mutilated Warrant to the Company as a condition precedent to the Company’s obligation to issue the New Warrant.

A-4

8. Reservation of Warrant Shares. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of the aggregate of its authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved Common Stock, solely for the purpose of enabling it to issue Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant as herein provided, the number of Warrant Shares which are then issuable and deliverable upon the exercise of this entire Warrant, free from preemptive rights or any other contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 9). The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares so issuable and deliverable shall, upon issuance and the payment of the applicable Exercise Price in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

9. Certain Adjustments. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 9.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(b) Fundamental Transactions. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding there is a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the same amount and kind of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of the number of Warrant Shares then issuable upon exercise in full of this Warrant (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that at the Holder’s option and request, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new warrant substantially in the form of this Warrant and consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to purchase the Alternate Consideration for the aggregate Exercise Price upon exercise thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this paragraph (b) and ensuring that the Warrant (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

A-5

(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 9, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 9 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(e) Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment pursuant to this Section 9, the Company at its expense will promptly compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, including a statement of the adjusted Exercise Price and adjusted number or type of Warrant Shares or other securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant (as applicable), describing the transactions giving rise to such adjustments and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. Upon written request, the Company will promptly deliver a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and to the Company’s Transfer Agent.

(f) Notice of Corporate Events. If the Company (i) declares a dividend or any other distribution of cash, securities or other property in respect of its Common Stock, including without limitation any granting of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any capital stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) authorizes or approves, enters into any agreement contemplating or solicits stockholder approval for any Fundamental Transaction or (iii) authorizes the voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then the Company shall deliver to the Holder a notice describing the material terms and conditions of such transaction (but only to the extent such disclosure would not result in the dissemination of material, non-public information to the Holder) at least 10 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date on which a Person would need to hold Common Stock in order to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction, and the Company will take all steps reasonably necessary in order to ensure that the Holder is given the opportunity to exercise this Warrant prior to such time so as to participate in or vote with respect to such transaction; provided, however, that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be described in such notice.

A-6

10. Payment of Exercise Price.

(a) Cash Exercise. The Holder shall pay the Exercise Price by delivery of immediately available funds; or

(b) Net Issue Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant, the Holder may elect to receive Warrant Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election, in which event the Company shall issue to the Holder a number of Warrant Shares computed using the following formula:

	X=	Y (A-B)
	X=	A


Where:	X	=	the number of the Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder.

	Y	=	the number of the Warrant Shares purchasable under this Warrant.

	A	=	the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock for the date of determination.

	B	=	the per share Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation)

11. No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Warrant Shares will be issued in connection with any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional shares which would, otherwise be issuable, the Company shall pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the closing price of one Warrant Share as reported by the applicable Trading Market on the date of exercise.

12. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries hereunder (including, without limitation, any Exercise Notice) shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on a Trading Day, (ii) the next Trading Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified in this Section on a day that is not a Trading Day or later than 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) on any Trading Day, (iii) the Trading Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for such communications shall be: (i) if to the Company, to ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attn: Chief Executive Officer, or to Facsimile No.: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇ (or such other address as the Company shall indicate in writing in accordance with this Section), or (ii) if to the Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Warrant Register or such other address or facsimile number as the Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section.

13. Warrant Agent. The Company shall serve as warrant agent under this Warrant. Upon 10 days’ notice to the Holder, the Company may appoint a new warrant agent. Any corporation into which the Company or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation resulting from any consolidation to which the Company or any new warrant agent shall be a party or any corporation to which the Company or any new warrant agent transfers substantially all of its corporate trust or shareholders services business shall be a successor warrant agent under this Warrant without any further act. Any such successor warrant agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as warrant agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to the Holder at the Holder’s last address as shown on the Warrant Register.

A-7

14.

EXHIBIT B

FORM OF SECURITY AGREEMENT

SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of November __, 2015, by and between ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, a natural person (or, subject to the reasonable approval of Debtor, which approval will be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by an affiliate of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇; referred to herein, with respect to such natural person or affiliate, as the case may be, “Secured Party”) and Ener-Core, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning assigned to such terms in the Backstop Support Agreement (as defined below).

RECITALS

Pursuant to a Backstop Security Support Agreement made and entered into on November 2, 2015 (the “Backstop Support Agreement”), Debtor has agreed to provide Secured Party with a security interest in certain of Debtor’s assets to secure Debtor’s payment and other obligations to Secured Party pursuant to the Backstop Support Agreement;

As a material inducement for the Secured Party to enter into the Backstop Support Agreement, Debtor agreed, subject only to, and conditioned only upon, the issuance of the Letter of Credit as accepted by D-R as sufficient to satisfy the BSS obligation under the CLA, to enter into a security agreement to provide the Secured Party with a security interest in certain assets of Debtor; and

Debtor and Secured Party desire to enter into this Agreement in order to secure the performance of the Obligations (as defined below) of Debtor.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.	CERTAIN DEFINED TERMS

1.1. Terms Defined In Uniform Commercial Code. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all terms in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in Division 9 (or, absent definition in Division 9, in any other Division) of the Uniform Commercial Code, as those meanings may be amended, supplemented, revised or replaced from time to time.

1.2. Uniform Commercial Code. "Uniform Commercial Code" means the California Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, supplemented, revised or replaced from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties intend that the terms used herein which are defined in the Uniform Commercial Code have, at all times, the broadest and most inclusive meanings possible. Accordingly, if the Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future be amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more broadly or inclusively than the Uniform Commercial Code in effect on the date of this Agreement, then such term, as used herein, shall be given such broadened meaning. If the Uniform Commercial Code shall in the future be amended or held by a court to define any term used herein more narrowly, or less inclusively, than the Uniform Commercial Code in effect on the date of this Agreement, such amendment or holding shall be disregarded in defining terms used in this Agreement.

B-1

1.3. Obligations. As used in this Agreement, “Obligations” means all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, the Debtor to the Secured Party under this Agreement, the Backstop Support Agreement, and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owned with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) all payments due under the Backstop Support Agreement; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Debtor from time to time under or in connection with this Agreement, the Backstop Support Agreement, and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Debtor.

2.	CREATION OF SECURITY INTEREST

2.1. Security Interest. As security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, Debtor hereby pledges grants to Secured Party a continuing security interest (“Security Interest”) in and a lien upon, all of Debtor’s right, title and interest in the following property and interests of Debtor, whether now existing or owned or hereafter acquired or arising (collectively, the “Collateral”) (provided, however, for avoidance of doubt, such Security Interest (i) shall not include any security interest or lien in “Excluded Assets”, (ii) shall be subordinated to that certain security interest held by the holders of the Senior Secured Notes (“Senior Secured Notes”) of Debtor referenced in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Debtor with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2015 and May 7, 2015, as such security interest is granted pursuant to that certain Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of April 22, 2015 (as amended, including the First Amendment dated as of May 7, 2015, the “Pledge Agreement”), and (iii) shall be subject to the same cumulative qualifications, exceptions and Permitted Liens as provided for in the Pledge Agreement (for purposes of this Agreement, Excluded Assets” shall mean collectively: (X) all patents, (Y) any and all licenses or other rights granted by the Debtor (or one its affiliates) to D-R pursuant to that certain Commercial License Agreement entered into by and between D-R and Debtor, dated November 14, 2014 (the “CLA”) and (Z) any and all intellectual property that is developed or which shall be developed under the CLA; provided, however, that the foregoing exclusion shall in no way be construed so as to limit, impair or otherwise affect the Secured Party’s unconditional security interest in and liens upon any rights of Debtor in or to the proceeds of, or any monies due or to become due under or in respect of, all or any portion of such Excluded Assets and provided, further, that immediately upon the termination of the CLA, all assets that are no longer included in the definition of Excluded Assets shall constitute Collateral and the Debtor shall be deemed to have granted a security interest therein):

The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if notice is mailed, postage prepaid, to Debtor at least two (2) days before the time of sale or other disposition.
