1.  

	
one million, six hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($1,650,000), or

 

	
2.  

	
the product of (x) the total Net Sales for Licensed FLT Products, multiplied by (y) the Royalty Rate.  The Royalty Rate equals (a) one and sixty-seven hundredths percent (1.67%) during the Initial Term and any Renewal Term.

provided, however, that clause (1) of this Section 3.7(b) shall not apply during any Renewal Term, and the Annual Royalty during any Renewal Term shall be equal to the amount determined pursuant to Section 3.7(b)(2) without reference to Section 3.7(b)(1).

(b)  

	
On or prior to the Effective Date, Licensee shall deliver the Non-Refundable Prepayment to Licensor by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account of Licensor designated in writing by Licensor to Licensee.  The Non-Refundable Prepayment shall be applied first against any Annual Royalty payments due to Licensor until the entire Non-Refundable Prepayment has been fully used and credited by Licensor against Annual Royalty payment obligations of Licensee hereunder, and only after the full use, crediting and exhaustion of the entire Non-Refundable Prepayment shall Licensee be permitted, pursuant to Section 3.7(c), to issue Secured Notes as payment for any Annual Royalties owed by Licensee.  On the first business day of each Royalty Period during the Initial Term, Licensor shall, without further action or consent of the Licensee, use, apply and credit to the extent not previously used, applied or credited, the Non-Refundable Prepayment against the Annual Royalties for the applicable Royalty Period.  An amount equal to one million six hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($1,650,000) shall be used, applied and credited on the Effective Date.

 

	
(c)  

	
After Licensor has fully applied and credited the full Non-Refundable Prepayment against Annual Royalty payments due by Licensee hereunder, Licensee may, thereafter, elect during the Initial Term, if, but only if, its cash balances, as of the quarter end immediately prior to the date for the Royalty Period to which an unpaid Annual Royalty relates, was less than thirty million dollars ($30,000,000), to pay its Annual Royalties by delivering Secured Note(s) to Licensor.

(d)  

	
In no event shall any amount paid hereunder by Licensee (or applied or credited for its benefit) be returnable or refundable (whether in whole or in part) to it for any reason, including, without limitation, in the event of (i) any abandonment, determination not to enforce, transfer (subject, in the case of any transfer, to the rights of Licensee hereunder), or other disposition by Licensor of any Licensed FLT Patents, (ii) cancellation by a court of final jurisdiction of any Licensed FLT Patents, (iii) final invalidation or modification of claims (whether in whole or in part), by any competent authority, of any Licensed FLT Patents,  (iv) termination or expiration of this Agreement specifically including without limitation for the reasons set forth in Section 5.3(c), or (v) Licensee Net Sales below the threshold necessary for the Non-Refundable Prepayment to be fully used, applied or credited.

 

	
(e)  

	
Licensee shall make all its payments under this Agreement without any tax deduction, unless a tax deduction is required by law.  Tax deduction could be a deduction or withholding for or on account of tax from a payment under this agreement.

 

	
3.8.  

	
Recordkeeping and Audits.  Licensee shall maintain complete and accurate records as reasonably required for the Licensor to assess and verify (a) compliance with this Agreement, and (b) the correct computation of Annual Royalties, and shall maintain such records for a period of two (2) years following the date of the last Annual Royalty that the records pertain to.  These records shall be open to inspection during regular business hours of Licensee by an independent auditor retained by Licensor.  The auditor will (x) enter into a non-disclosure agreement with Licensee in a form reasonably acceptable to both the auditor and Licensee, and (y) only be entitled to report to Licensor the details of any discrepancy, recordkeeping issue, or other problem(s), as well as the identity of, and the auditor’s best estimate as to the number of any Licensed FLT Products that were not correctly reported, together with the total Sales Price of such Licensed FLT Products.  Audits shall be conducted upon reasonable notice to Licensee, no more than every twelve months, except in the event that an auditor has reported that Licensee is not substantially in compliance with its reporting or payment obligations, in which case Licensor may conduct quarterly audits.  All audits shall be at Licensor’s cost, unless the audit fails to confirm that Licensee has paid at least 95% of all amounts due under this Agreement, in which case Licensee shall bear the cost.

(b)  

	
For a period of two (2) years from the date of disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall (i) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for internal evaluation limited to the  purpose for which the Confidential Information was disclosed, (ii) protect the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information in the same manner and with the same degree of care, but not less than a reasonable degree of care, with which it protects its own confidential information, (iii) not disclose Confidential Information to any unaffiliated third party other than the Receiving Party’s advisors (including legal, accounting and banking) and representatives who have a direct “need to know” the Confidential Information for purposes hereof, and (iv) not reverse engineer, de-compile or disassemble any Confidential Information.

 

	
(c)  

	
This Section 6.6 imposes no obligation on the Receiving Party with respect to information that (i) was rightfully in the Receiving Party’s possession before receipt from the Disclosing Party without any obligation of confidentiality, (ii) is, or subsequently becomes, legally and publicly available through no fault of the Receiving Party, (iii) is rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, (iv) is disclosed by the Disclosing Party to a third party without any obligation of confidentiality, or (v) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of the Confidential Information.  Further, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a valid order issued by a court or government agency, provided that the Receiving Party provides the Disclosing Party (x) prior written notice of such obligation, and (y) the opportunity to oppose such disclosure. Each party understands that the other may currently be developing, or in the future may develop, information internally, or receiving information from other parties, that may be similar to Confidential Information provided by the Disclosing Party hereunder.  Nothing herein will prohibit a party from developing products, concepts, systems or technologies, or having products, concepts, systems or technologies made or developed for it, that compete with, or are similar to, the Disclosing Party’s products, concepts, systems or technologies or the products, concepts, systems or technologies embodied within any Confidential Information, provided that in doing so, the party seeking to develop such products, concepts, systems or technologies does not use or disclose any Confidential Information received from a Disclosing Party in violation of this Section 6.6.  Neither party shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of persons in receipt of Confidential Information from other responsibilities or tasks that any such person may have, subject, in all cases, to compliance with the terms hereof.

(e)  

	
The parties agree to comply with all applicable United States and foreign export laws and regulations with respect to the Confidential Information. Licensee also acknowledges that trading by a person in possession of material, non-public information regarding a public company, such as Licensor, in the United States may be prohibited by law, and that Confidential Information delivered under this Agreement may be deemed to constitute material, non-public information affecting Licensor.

EXHIBIT C : SECURED PROMISSORY NOTE

$[_______] [_____]

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, UNI-PIXEL DISPLAYS, INC., a Texas corporation(“UPDI”), hereby promises to pay to the order of CIT TECHNOLOGY LIMITED, a company registered in England (“CIT”), in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, the principal amount of[________], on or before the earlier of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the date hereof, (ii) ten (10) days after receipt of gross proceeds from the sale of equity and/or debt securities of UPDI or any affiliate of UPDI after the date hereof pursuant to which UPDI or any affiliate of UPDI receives gross proceeds of no less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or (iii) thirty (30) calendar days after the Initial Term as defined in the Patent License Agreement (as defined below) (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”), to pay the Annual Royalty in excess of the Non-Refundable Prepayment, as provided in the Patent License Agreement, dated as of April ___, 2015, between UPDI and CIT (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Patent License Agreement”; capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Patent License Agreement).

 

Interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal amount at a rate equal to two percent (2%) per annum compounded semi-annually (the “Interest Rate”).  Interest shall be paid in arrears semi-annually, commencing with the six-month anniversary of the date hereof.

 

The aggregate unpaid principal amount of this Secured Promissory Note (this “Note”), all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under this Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  UPDI shall have the right to prepay this note, in whole or in part, at any time without penalty.

 

This Note is the Secured Note referred to in the Patent License Agreement.  As security for UPDI’s obligation under this Note, UPDI hereby grants to CIT a security interest in the Purchased Assets, as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement between UPDI and Atmel, dated as April ___, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) and all accounts receivable subsequently arising from UPDI’s manufacture and sale of XSense Touch Sensors (the “Purchase Agreement”) and all proceeds therefrom.  CIT acknowledges that the liens granted pursuant to this Note are expressly subject and subordinate to the liens granted in favor of Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. as Collateral Agent for the Buyers party to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April ____, 2015, (collectively, the “First Lienholders”) under that certain Pledge and Security Agreement by and between Uni-Pixel, Inc. and Uni-Pixel Displays, Inc. in favor of Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd., in its capacity as Collateral Agent for the Buyers party to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of April ___, 2015 (the “First Lien”) and the foreclosure of any collateral granted herein is subject to the right of the First Lienholders to exercise and enforce the rights granted under the First Lien.

 

UPDI shall pay all costs of collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses if this Note is not paid when due, whether or not legal proceedings are commenced.  CIT, in its discretion, may file one or more financing statements, naming UPDI as a debtor and CIT as secured party and indicating the collateral specified in this Note.

Exhibit C to CIT-UniPixel

 

The following shall constitute events of default under this Note:  (1) UPDI files a voluntary petition, or UPDI consents to or fails to vacate within thirty days an involuntary petition, under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or UPDI admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they mature, or UPDI makes a general assignment for the benefit of its or any of its creditors; (2) an order, judgment, or decree is entered adjudicating UPDI bankrupt, insolvent or similar status or a petition seeking reorganization or appointing a receiver, trustee, judicial manager, or liquidator of all or a substantial part of UPDI's assets is approved; or (3) UPDI fails to make any required payment within five (5) business days after such payment is due and payable.  Subject to the subordination provisions herein, upon the occurrence of an event of default set forth under clause (1) or (2) of this paragraph, the principal balance outstanding under this Note, as well as any interest thereon, shall automatically mature and be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, diligence, protest, notice of acceleration, or other notice of any kind, all of which UPDI hereby expressly waives.  Upon the occurrence of an event of default set forth under clause (3) of this paragraph, UPDI shall pay to CIT on demand interest on such unpaid amount (to the extent permitted by applicable law) for the period from the date such amount was due until such amount shall have been paid in full at the Interest Rate plus 3.00% per annum, and CIT shall have the right, upon notice to UPDI, to accelerate the principal balance outstanding under this Note, as well as any interest thereon, whereupon such amounts shall mature and be due and payable immediately, without presentment, demand, diligence, protest, notice of acceleration, or other notice of any kind, all of which UPDI hereby expressly waives.  These remedies are not intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy available hereunder or at law or in equity.

 

UPDI hereby waives demand, diligence, presentment, protest and notice of every kind, and warrants to the holder that all action and approvals required for the execution and delivery hereof as a legal, valid and binding obligation of the undersigned, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof, have been duly taken and obtained.

 

Any term, covenant, agreement or condition of this Note may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by UPDI and CIT.  No failure or delay by CIT in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise thereof or of any other right.  A waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only if in writing and in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

 

In addition to any rights and remedies of CIT provided by law, CIT shall have the right, without prior notice to UPDI, any such notice being expressly waived by UPDI to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a default or an event of default, to set-off and apply against the principal balance outstanding under this Note and any accrued interest thereon, whether matured or unmatured, owed by UPDI to CIT, any amount owing from CIT to UPDI.  The aforesaid right of set-off may be exercised by CIT against UPDI or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of UPDI or against anyone else claiming through or against UPDI or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by CIT prior to the occurrence of a default or an event of default.  CIT agrees promptly to notify UPDI after any such set-off and application made by CIT, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW RULES OR PROVISIONS THEREOF (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

 

This Note may be assigned or transferred by CIT to any person. UPDI may not assign or transfer this Note or any of its rights hereunder without the prior written consent of CIT transfer (and any such attempted assignment or transfer shall be void).  This Note shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties and their permitted assigns.
