– hereinafter referred to as "Affimed" –
- The Bank and Affimed hereinafter individually referred to as "Party" and collectively referred to as "Parties" -
Preamble
Reference is hereby made to a certain loan arrangement by and among (a) the Bank and (b) Affimed GmbH, a German limited liability company, which loan arrangement is evidenced by, among other documents, a certain Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof between the Bank and Affimed GmbH (as may from time to time be further amended, modified, supplemented, or restated; hereinafter referred to as the “Loan Agreement”). Affimed is hereinafter also referred to as “Borrower”.
In order to secure, inter alia, its assumed obligations as a borrower under the Loan Agreement, Affimed agreed - among other securities - to provide the Bank collateral by way of pledging its German corporate bank accounts for security purposes under or pursuant to the terms and conditions of this agreement (the "Agreement”).
NOW, this stated above, the Parties agree on the following:
| 1. | Scope of Account Pledge |
| 1.1 | Affimed hereby pledges to the Bank |
| · | all present and future credit balances, including all interest payable, from time to time standing to the credit of (i) its bank accounts currently held with Sparkasse Heidelberg, Deutsche Bank AG and Volksbank Kurpfalz H+G Bank eG (the "Existing Account Banks”) and as further specified in the Exhibit 1 hereto and (ii) any new accounts which Affimed may open in the future with any bank (the "Future Account Banks” and together with the Existing Account Banks individually each an "Account Bank” and collectively the "Account Banks”), which shall in each case include any sub-account, renewal, redesignation or replacement thereof (collectively the "Accounts"); and |
| · | all rights, title and interest in and to (but not its obligations) all present and future monies owing and all rights including, in particular, termination rights (Kündigungsrechte) and instruction rights (Weisungsrechte) and any other claims related thereto or related to the underlying account relationship, in particular, without limitation, any claims credited on any of the Accounts by the Account Banks for the account of Affimed. |
| 1.2 | Moreover, Affimed assigns to the Bank all claims against each Account Bank for redemption and all ancillary rights and claims associated with the Accounts. |
| 1.3 | The Bank accepts the pledge of the Accounts referred to in Section 1.1 and the assignment of claims as per Section 1.2 (individually and collectively the "Pledge"). |
| 1.4 | Affimed shall bear any costs, charges and other debits incurred in connection with the management of the Accounts without any right of recourse against the Bank. |
| 1.5 | Immediately after signing this Agreement, Affimed shall notify the Account Banks of the Pledge by submitting a duly signed notification letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts that the Account Banks confirm to the Bank in writing that they (i) have received notice of the Pledge and the irrevocable instructions as per Section 3.3 below, (ii) are not aware of any third party rights relating to the Accounts, in particular as regards any prior pledges of the Accounts of any third parties and (iii) waive their prior pledges or other security rights in relation to the Accounts which have arisen under the general terms and conditions of the Account Banks or otherwise. A draft confirmation letter to be issued by the Account Banks is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. |
| 1.6 | Should the Pledge require additional statements or actions, the Parties agree to make such statements and/or to take such actions without any reservation. |
| 2. | Security Purpose |
The Pledge and any other collateral granted by Affimed to the Bank according to this Agreement shall secure all of the Obligations (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (the "Secured Obligations").
| 3. | Notification of Account Balances, Right of Disposal |
| 3.1 | No later than ten (10) Business Days (as defined in the Loan Agreement) after the end of each month Affimed shall inform the Bank of the balances on the Accounts as of the end of the month. |
| 3.2 | It is expressly agreed between Affimed and the Bank that Affimed shall have no right to exercise any of its rights and powers in respect of the Accounts without the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Bank, except as expressly set out herein. In particular, without limitation, during the continuation of the Pledge (i) Affimed shall have no right to withdraw any monies from or otherwise debit the Accounts and (ii) Affimed shall not have the right to close any of the Accounts. However, the Bank agrees that Affimed shall have the right to withdraw monies from or otherwise debit the Accounts in the ordinary course of business until an Enforcement Event (as defined under Section 6 below) occurs. |
| 3.3 | Affimed shall give to the Account Banks the irrevocable instruction that Affimed may only operate the Accounts and shall only have the right to withdraw monies from or otherwise debit the Accounts until the relevant Account Bank receives notice to the contrary from the Bank and that on the receipt of such revocation notice/enforcement notice the Bank may dispose over the Accounts without the prior consent of Affimed. If Affimed fails to give the irrevocable instruction as per sentence 1 to any one of the Account Banks and/or to notify the Account Banks about the Pledge as per Section 1.5 above and provide to the Bank a copy of the notification letter with the relevant Account Bank (including a fax confirmation proving that the notification letter was at least sent to the relevant Account Bank by fax) within 2 weeks after signature of this Agreement, the Bank shall also be entitled to give to each Account Bank the irrevocable instruction as per sentence 1 above and/or to notify the relevant Account Bank about the Pledge by delivering a notification letter as per Exhibit 2 on behalf of Affimed, which hereby expressly authorises, and grants an irrevocable power of attorney to the Bank to do so. |
| 4. | Undertakings of Affimed |
| 4.1 | During the term of this Agreement, Affimed undertakes to inform the Bank promptly upon becoming aware of any attachments (Pfändung) or any enforcement of any prior contractual pledge with respect to any of the Accounts, any part thereof or any other measures which may materially impair or jeopardise the Bank's rights or interests relating thereto. |
| 4.2 | In the event of it becoming aware of an attachment or any other enforcement measure in relation to the Accounts, Affimed undertakes to forward to the Bank without undue delay a copy of the attachment order or other relevant communication, the garnishee order and all other documents necessary for a defence against the attachment or the enforcement. Affimed shall inform the attaching creditor or the holder of the relevant contractual pledge immediately about the Bank's rights and interests in the Accounts. |
| 4.3 | Affimed undertakes not to open any new bank accounts that are not listed in Exhibit 1 neither in Germany nor elsewhere unless (i) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) of the Bank and (ii) under the proviso that the Bank will obtain a first ranking security interest over any new bank account (with the exception of any pledges existing by operation of the general terms and conditions (Allgemeine Geschäftsbedingungen provided that Affimed uses commercially reasonable efforts to have such banks waive their prior pledge) of the Account Bank) according to the requirements of the applicable local laws and in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Bank. |
| 4.4 | Finally, Affimed undertakes (i) not to do or cause anything which may adversely affect the Pledge or the rights of the Bank under this Agreement and (ii) to notify the Bank without undue delay of any event or circumstance which might adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Pledge or cause an Enforcement Event (as defined in Section 6 below) to occur. |
| 5. | Representation and Warranties |
Affimed hereby represents and warrants to the Bank by way of an independent guarantee statement within the meaning of Section 311 German Civil Code, that (i) it has full and unaffected title to the Accounts, (ii) the Accounts are free and clear from any encumbrances and adverse rights and claims of any third parties (except for (a) the currently existing pledge in favour of Perceptive Credit Holdings, LP (i.e. former Account Pledge Agreement with PCOF 1, LLC dated 24 July 2014 meanwhile having been transferred from PCOF 1, LLC by Transfer Certificates, i.e. assumption of contract (Vertragsübernahme), dated 4 December 2014, 23 December 2015 and 27 June 2016 via Perceptive Credit Opportunities Fund, LP and PCOF Phoenix II Fund, LP to Perceptive Credit Holdings, LP, which shall be released by way of a Security Release Agreement in the course of the funding of the loan amount under the Loan Agreement) and (b) any pledges in favour of the Account Banks which have arisen under the
general terms and conditions of the Account Banks and which shall presumably be waived by the Account Banks as outlined in in Section 1.5 above), and (iii) Exhibit 1 is a true and complete list of all Accounts currently held by Affimed with any Account Bank in Germany.
| 6. | Realization ("Verwertung") |
| 6.1 | The Pledge shall become enforceable upon the occurrence of the earlier of: (i) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement) which is continuing and has not been waived by Bank or (ii) the Bank making a demand for the due payment or discharge of the Secured Obligations (or any part of them) and such demand remains unpaid (hereinafter referred to as "Enforcement Event") and provided any additional requirements, if any, set forth in Section 1204 et seq. German Civil Code with regard to the enforcement of the Pledge are met (Pfandreife), then the Bank may at any time thereafter enforce the Pledge in accordance with applicable law. |
| 6.2 | Notwithstanding Section 1277 German Civil Code, the Bank is entitled to exercise its rights without obtaining enforceable judgment or other instrument (vollstreckbarer Titel) by way of collecting any monies standing to the credit of the Accounts directly from the Account Banks but only to the extent necessary to fully satisfy all outstanding amounts under the Secured Obligations. After complete, full, unconditional and irrevocable satisfaction and discharge of the Secured Obligations any remaining surplus shall be re-transferred to Affimed. |
| 6.3 | Should the Bank seek to enforce the Pledge under this Section, Affimed shall (i) (at its own expense), at the reasonable request of the Bank, render forthwith all necessary assistance in order to facilitate the prompt enforcement of the Pledge or any part thereof and/or the exercise by the Bank of any other rights it may have as pledgee (ii) provide all documentation on the Accounts to the Bank. |
| 6.4 | If the Pledge is enforced, no rights of the Bank shall pass to Affimed by subrogation or otherwise unless and until the occurrence of all of: (a) the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably repaid and discharged in full and (b) Bank having no commitment or obligation to lend any further funds to the Borrower. Until then all enforcement proceeds shall serve as additional collateral and the Bank shall be entitled to seek satisfaction from such proceeds at any time. |
| 6.5 | Following satisfaction of the requirements for enforcement of Section 6.1, all subsequent payments and all payments based on similar ancillary rights attributed to the Accounts may be applied by the Bank in satisfaction in whole or in part of the obligations secured hereunder or serve as additional collateral. |
| 6.6 | The Bank may, in its sole discretion, determine which of several security interests, if applicable, shall be used to satisfy the Secured Obligations, however taking into account the legitimate interests of Affimed. |
| 6.7 | Affimed hereby expressly waives for itself all defences of revocation (Anfechtung) and set-off (Aufrechnung) pursuant to Sections 770 and 1211 German Civil Code. |
| 7. | Release of the Pledge |
| 7.1 | After the occurrence of all of: (a) the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably repaid and discharged in full and (b) the Bank having no commitment or obligation to lend any further funds to the Borrower, the Bank will as soon as reasonably practical declare the release of the Pledge (Pfandfreigabe) to Affimed and the Account Bank as a matter of record. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties are aware that upon the Bank being satisfied that all of the Secured Obligations have been unconditionally and irrevocably repaid and discharged in full and in all other cases where those obligations cease to exist, as, for example, without limitation, in a case of a novation, due to the accessory nature of the pledge as a security (Pfandrechtsakzessorietät) the Pledge automatically ceases to exist by operation of German mandatory law. |
| 7.2 | The Bank shall be obliged – even prior to the unconditional and irrevocable repayment and discharge of all the Secured Obligations – to release the Pledge and/or, at the Bank's discretion, to release any other collateral granted to the Bank by Affimed in whole or in part if and to the extent that the realizable value of all collateral permanently exceeds 110% of the value of the Secured Obligations. In case the total value of the collateral should permanently fall below the afore-mentioned threshold of 110%, Affimed shall be obliged to re-transfer such assigned Claims to the Bank or, at the Bank’s discretion, provide other collateral to the Bank which had been previously released pursuant to the provisions in this paragraph to the extent necessary to cover the deficit. Affimed shall bear any and all reasonable costs incurred in connection with the release of the Pledge or of any other collateral in accordance with this Section 7. |
| 7.3 | The Bank undertakes to promptly release from the scope of this Agreement all current and future special accounts for the increase of the share capital (Kapitalerhöhungssonderkonten) of Affimed. |
| 8. | Indemnity |
| 8.1 | The Bank shall not be liable for any loss or damage suffered by Affimed save in respect of such loss or damage which is suffered as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or the persons representing the Bank. |
| 8.2 | Affimed shall indemnify the Bank and keep the Bank indemnified against any losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which is suffered or incurred by the Bank as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from a breach of Affimed's obligations or undertakings pursuant to this Agreement. except for any losses, actions, claims, expenses, demands and liabilities which is suffered or incurred by the Bank as a result of, following from, consequential to, or arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Bank or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or the persons representing the Bank. |
| 9. | Assignment |
The Bank shall be entitled, at its own expenses and costs, to assign or otherwise transfer any and all of its rights and duties under this Agreement as well as the entire Agreement to a third party only if the Bank transfers all of its rights and obligations under the Secured Obligations to such third party. Affimed shall not be entitled to assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement to any third party.
| 10. | Continuing Security |
This Agreement shall create a continuing security and no change or amendment whatsoever in any document or agreement related to it, nor (in deviation of Section 418 German Civil Code (BGB)) any assumption of debt (Schuldübernahme) in relation to the Secured Obligations, shall affect the validity or scope of this Agreement or the obligations which are imposed on Affimed pursuant to it.
| 11. | Independence |
This Agreement is independent from any other security or guarantee which may have been or will be given to the Bank with respect to any obligation of the Borrower. None of such other security shall prejudice, or shall be prejudiced by this Agreement.
| 12. | Final Provisions |
| 12.1 | This Agreement (together with the Exhibits hereto) contains the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings with respect thereto. In case of any discrepancies between this Agreement and the provisions of the Loan Agreement the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall – to the extent legally permissible – prevail. |
| 12.2 | Any amendment or supplement to or modification of this Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto), including this provision, shall be valid only if made in writing, except where a stricter form (e.g. notarization) is required under applicable law. For the avoidance of |
doubt, this provision also applies to a waiver of any right or claim any Party may have under this Agreement.
| 12.3 | This Agreement is written in the English language (except that the Exhibits may be in the German language in whole or in part). Terms to which a German translation has been added in parentheses shall be interpreted pursuant to the meaning assigned to them in German. |
| 12.4 | This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, even if the German conflict of laws provisions should refer to another legal system. The courts of Frankfurt/Main, Germany shall have exclusive jurisdiction. |
| 12.5 | Should any provision of this Agreement be or become invalid, ineffective or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity, effectiveness and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. Any such invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed replaced by such valid, effective and enforceable provision as comes closest to the economic intent and purpose of such invalid, ineffective or unenforceable provision. The aforesaid shall apply mutatis mutandis to any gap in this Agreement. |
