This exhibit is an HTML Document rendered as filed.  [ Alternative Formats ]



  Security Agreement Amendment (00157763.DOC;2)  

SECURITY AGREEMENT AMENDMENT

THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT AMENDMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as of January 15, 2004 between AURA SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation ( the "Debtor"), KOYAH LEVERAGE PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Koyah Leverage"), and KOYAH PARTNERS, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Koyah" and together with Koyah Leverage, the "Lenders"). Koyah Leverage is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as a Lender and in its capacity as collateral agent for the Lenders (the "Secured Party").

WHEREAS, in connection with loans to the Debtor by the Lenders, (i) the Debtor and the Lenders entered into an Agreement dated as of July 24, 2003 (the "Agreement"), (ii) the Debtor executed in favor of the Lenders four Convertible Promissory Notes dated July 24, 2003 (collectively, the "Notes"), and (iii) the Debtor executed in favor of the Secured Party a Security Agreement dated as of July 24, 2003 (the "Security Agreement") granting the Secured Party a security interest in all personal property and fixtures of the Debtor except for a portion of its intellectual property;

WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Lenders also entered into an Amendment and Waiver Agreement dated as of August 6, 2003 (the "Amendment");

WHEREAS, the Lenders have made certain additional optional advances to the Debtor under (i) the Note in favor of Koyah Leverage in the maximum principal amount of Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) and (ii) the Note in favor of Koyah in the maximum principal amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (collectively, the "Optional Advance Notes");

WHEREAS, (i) the Debtor and the Lenders also entered into an Additional Advance Agreement dated as of August 18, 2003 (the "Additional Advance Agreement") and (ii) the Debtor executed in favor of the Secured Party a Stock Pledge Agreement dated as of August 18, 2003 (the "Stock Pledge Agreement");

WHEREAS, in connection with the Additional Advance Agreement, the Lenders have made certain further additional optional advances to the Debtor under the Optional Advance Notes;

WHEREAS, the Debtor and Lenders also entered into nine (9) Amendment Agreements dated as of August 21, 2003 through January 8, 2004 (the "Amendment Agreements");

WHEREAS, in connection with the Amendment Agreements, the Lenders have made certain further additional optional advances to the Debtor under the Optional Advance Notes;

WHEREAS, the Debtor is seeking additional financing from certain third party lenders (the "Third Party Lenders");

WHEREAS, the Third Party Lenders require that the Debtor grant them a security interest in all personal property and fixtures of the Debtor;

WHEREAS, such security interest of the Third Party Lenders would be junior to the security interest of the Secured Party and the Lenders;

WHEREAS, the Third Party Lenders are unwilling to provide financing to the Debtor in the absence of intercreditor arrangements with the Secured Party and the Lenders providing for collateral sharing arrangements;

WHEREAS, such collateral sharing arrangements would reduce the collateral position of the Secured Party and the Lenders;

WHEREAS, in order to induce the Secured Party and the Lenders to negotiate with the Third Party Lenders and to enter into intercreditor arrangements with the Third Party Lenders (but only on terms and conditions acceptable to the Secured Party and the Lenders in their sole discretion), the Debtor is willing to grant the Secured Party and the Lenders a security interest in the remainder of the Debtor's intellectual property;

WHEREAS, the parties are entering into this Agreement to provide for the amendment of the Security Agreement and related matters, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties do hereby agree as follows:

1. Amendments to Security Agreement.

a. The definition of "Collateral" set forth in Article I of the Security Agreement hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

"Collateral" means all of the Debtor's personal property and fixtures of every nature whether tangible or intangible and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, wherever located, including without limitation the following:

(i) (a) All goods; (b) all inventory, merchandise, and personal property held for sale or lease or furnished or to be furnished under contracts of service, all raw materials, work in process, or materials used or consumed in Debtor's business, wherever located and whether in the possession of the Debtor, a warehouseman, a bailee, or any other person; (c) all equipment, machinery, tools, office equipment, supplies, furnishings, furniture, or other items used or useful, directly or indirectly, in the Debtor's business, (d) all fixtures; and (e) all substitutes and replacements therefor, all accessions, attachments, and other additions thereto, all tools, parts and supplies used in connection therewith, all packaging, manuals, warranties and instructions related thereto, and all leasehold or equitable interests therein;

(ii) (a) All accounts, accounts receivable, contract rights, contracts receivable, purchase orders, notes, drafts, acceptances, and other rights to payment and receivables; (b) all chattel paper (whether tangible or electronic), documents and instruments (including promissory notes); (c) all money and deposit accounts; (d) all letter of credit rights (whether or not the letter of credit is evidenced by a writing), rights under security, guaranties or other supporting obligations, tort claims and proceeds, insurance claims and proceeds, and tax refund claims and proceeds; (e) all securities and other investment property; (f) all general intangibles and payment intangibles, (g) all patents and patent applications and registrations, trademarks and trademark applications and registrations, service marks and service mark applications and registrations, and copyrights and copyright applications and registrations (collectively the "Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights"), including without limitation the patents, patent applications, trademarks and trademark applications and copyrights and copyright applications owned by the Debtor on Schedule 1 hereto, or licensed to the Debtor on Schedule 2 hereto; (h) all trade names, trade styles, goodwill, inventions, designs, methods, processes, technology, know-how, intellectual property, drawings, specifications, blue prints, confidential information, trade secrets, customer lists, supplier lists, software and computer programs, mask works, and mask work applications and registrations, goodwill, license agreements, franchise agreements and other licenses, permits, franchises, and agreements of every kind and nature pursuant to which the Debtor possesses, uses or has authority to possess or use any property (whether tangible or intangible) of the Debtor or pursuant to which others possess, use or have authority to possess or use any property (whether tangible or intangible) of the Debtor, and infringement and commercial tort claims; and (i) all business records, software, writings, plans, specifications, schematics, and other recorded data in any form; and

(iii) All products and proceeds of the foregoing and all other property received or receivable in disposition of or exchange of the foregoing.

b. Schedule 1 to the Security Agreement hereby is amended, replaced and superseded by the Schedule 1 attached to this Agreement.

2. Debtor Acknowledgements. The Debtor confirms, acknowledges and agrees that the Security Agreement, as amended hereby, and the Stock Pledge Agreement secure all of the Debtor's obligations under the Transaction Documents (as defined below).

3. Further Assurances. If requested by the Lenders, the Debtor shall promptly execute and deliver amended and restated documents to replace the Security Agreement or any other Transaction Documents and appropriately reflect the amendments of the Security Agreement or any other Transaction Documents which are contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents, as further evidence of the Debtor's obligations thereunder.

4. Reaffirmation and Survival of Representations. The Debtor hereby re-affirms and re-makes all of the representations and warranties contained in the Agreement, the Notes, the Security Agreement, the Amendment, the Additional Advance Agreement, the Stock Pledge Agreement, and the Amendment Agreements (collectively, the "Prior Transaction Documents") as of the date hereof. For purposes of this Agreement as well as re-affirming the representations and warranties contained in the Prior Transaction Documents, the term "Transaction Documents" as used herein and therein shall mean the Prior Transaction Documents together with this Agreement. All of such representations and warranties shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Prior Transaction Documents and this Agreement.

5. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Debtor and the Lenders in the case of an amendment and only with the written consent of the waiving party in the case of a waiver.

6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Documents, constitute the entire agreement of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof and thereof, all prior discussions, proposals, negotiations and understandings having been merged herein and therein. Except as specifically modified by this Agreement, the Transaction Documents shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

7. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Debtor, the Secured Party and the Lenders. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement.

8. Severability. If any part of this Agreement is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other parts shall remain in full force and effect.

9. Attorneys' Fees. The Debtor shall pay the reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements of the Secured Party and the Lenders in enforcing any terms of this Agreement, whether or not any action at law or in equity is brought.

10. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the law of the State of Washington, without regard to that state's conflict of laws principles. All disputes between the parties hereto, whether sounding in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be resolved only by state and federal courts located in Spokane, Washington, and the courts to which an appeal therefrom may be taken. All parties hereto waive any objections to the location of the above referenced courts, including but not limited to any objection based on lack of jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non-conveniens. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any party obtaining any order or judgment in any of the above referenced courts may bring an action in a court in another jurisdiction in order to enforce such order or judgment.
