THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of April , 2016 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, as chapter 7 trustee of estate of Wave Systems Corp., Debtor under Case No. 16-10284 (KJC) (the “Seller” or “Trustee”), and CHIME INC., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined or cross-referenced in Article 10.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

A. Wave Systems Corp. (the “Debtor”) commenced a voluntary bankruptcy case under chapter 7 of title of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) on February 1, 2016 (the “Petition Date”). Thereafter, the Trustee was appointed as the chapter 7 trustee of the Debtor.

B. Prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor engaged in the design, development, licensing and sale of certain software solutions for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) worldwide market (collectively, the “Business”) at various locations.

C. Buyer desires to purchase the Acquired Assets (as defined below) from Seller, and Seller desires to sell, convey, assign and transfer to Buyer, the Acquired Assets, all in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with §§ 105 and 363 and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

D. The Acquired Assets are assets of the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate (“Estate”), which are to be purchased and assumed by Buyer pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale pursuant to §§ 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Sale Order”), all in the manner and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Sale Order, and in accordance with other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

E. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions set forth in this Agreement are subject, among other things, to the entry of the Sale Order.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ACQUIRED ASSETS.
