`
`Associates LLC as the receiver ("Receiver") in this matter, over PW and its collateral, as set forth
`in the proposed order attached hereto as Exhibit 1 ("Order"). PW has received ex parte notice
`from Plaintiffs' counsel concerning Plaintiffs' ex parte application to appoint a Receiver in this
`matter, at the hearing on May 4, 2021, at 8:30 a.m., in Department U of this Court, and waives the
`need for any further notice of the application. Defendant PW does not intend to appear at any
`such hearings, has not retained legal counsel to represent it in this matter, and has no opposition to
`the Court entering the Order, Exhibit 1. PW further waives the need for any confirmation hearing
`as to the appointment of the Receiver.
`3.
`The security agreements between Plaintiffs and PW allow for, among other things,
`the remedy of appointment of Receiver upon default. The 4 entity Plaintiffs in this matter are
`owed in excess of $19 million dollars by PW, and have all of PW's tangible and intangible assets
`as collateral, including numerous pending patent infringement claims. The $19 million debt is in
`default, which PW cannot pay. And, given the nature of the major collateral at this point, the
`patent infringement claims, a Receiver is needed to take control of those and administer them for
`the protection of the secured lender Plaintiffs, in order to pay the defaulted loan obligations and
`debt owed by PW to Plaintiffs. The Order provides for the secured creditor Plaintiffs to make
`protective advances to the Receiver to protect the collateral, which PW cannot afford to pay, as it
`cannot pay the fees, costs, and expenses of participating in this case or hiring counsel.
`AGREED ORDER
`
`
`
`
`4.
`Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is the agreed form of Order for Ex Parte Immediate
`Appointment of Receiver and Preliminary Injunction In Aid of Receiver ("Order"), pursuant to
`which the parties request that the Receiver immediately be appointed over PW, and all its personal
`property, assets, and collateral, as set forth fully in the Order. Plaintiffs and PW have agreed the
`best course of action with respect to the collateral is for the Receiver immediately to take
`possession of the collateral securing the loan obligations of PW owed to Plaintiffs.

`2012, between PW and Topodia, including any amendments or modifications thereto (collectively,
`the "Monto Security Agreement"). The Monto Security Agreement grants to Monto a security
`interest in all of PW's personal property and collateral, all as more particularly described in the
`Monto Security Agreement, the Collateral defined herein above.
`Intercreditor Agreement:
`13.
`As of March 27, 2014, Plaintiffs entered into that certain Intercreditor Agreement,
`describing their respective security interests, rights and obligations as to PW's assets and property,
`including but not limited to, all of PW's Collateral, as set forth fully therein ("Intercreditor
`Agreement"). In accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement, Plaintiffs shall have equal priority
`over PW's Collateral, on a pari passu basis. Additionally, PW, as Borrower, signed, consented to,
`agreed, and confirmed the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement.
`Default:
`14.
`PW owes Plaintiffs in excess of $19 million in the aggregate. The BDE Note, the
`
`ECA Note, the Claria Note, and the Monto Note are all demand instruments. Plaintiffs, and each
`of them, demanded payment in full from PW prior to the institution of this action. PW, however,
`cannot pay, as demanded. PW cannot cure the defaults itemized in the Complaint in this matter or
`pay the amounts owed to the secured creditor Plaintiffs.
`15.
`Plaintiffs' respective Security Agreements, executed by PW, provide that in the
`event of default, Plaintiffs may appoint a Receiver, which PW does not oppose:
`16. Remedies upon an Event of Default. On and after the occurrence and
`continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall become
`immediately due and payable, upon notice by the Secured Party to the
`Debtor. In such event, the Secured Party may, in its discretion:
`
` (a) request that the Debtor, and upon such request the Debtor shall,
`assemble the Collateral at such place or places reasonably convenient to
`the Secured Party designated in such request;
`
` (b) enforce collection of any of the Collateral by suit or any other
`lawful means available to the Secured Party, or demand, collect, or

`receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on
`account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral;
`
` (c) surrender, release, or exchange or otherwise modify the terms of all
`or any part of the Collateral, or compromise or extend or renew for any
`period any indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby;
`
`(d) assert all other rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC
`(whether or not in effect in any applicable jurisdiction) and all other
`applicable law, including, without limitation, the right to take possession
`of, hold, collect, sell, lease, deliver, grant options to purchase, or
`otherwise retain, liquidate, or dispose of all or any portion of the
`Collateral. The proceeds of any collection, liquidation, or other disposition
`of the Collateral shall be applied by the Secured Party first to the payment
`of all expenses (including, without limitation, all fees, taxes, reasonable
`attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Secured Party in
`connection with retaking, holding, collecting, or liquidating the Collateral.
`The balance of such proceeds, if any, shall, to the extent permitted by law,
`be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order of application
`as determined by the Secured Party in its sole discretion to the extent such
`order of application is not inconsistent with applicable law . . . Without
`precluding any other methods of sale or other disposition, the sale or other
`disposition of the Collateral or any portion thereof shall have been made in
`a commercially reasonable manner if conducted in conformity with
`reasonable commercial practices of creditors disposing of similar property;
`but in any event the Secured Party may sell, lease, deliver, grant options to
`purchase or otherwise retain, liquidate or dispose such Collateral on such
`terms and to such purchaser(s) (including the Secured Party) as the
`Secured Party in its absolute discretion may choose, and for cash or for
`credit or for future delivery, without assuming any credit risk, at public or
`private sale or other disposition . . . ;"
`
`
`The appointment of a Receiver over the Collateral pursuant to the Order is critical
`16.
`and appropriate at this time so that the Receiver can immediately act to seize, manage, control,
`operate, sell and collect all of the Collateral of Plaintiffs (i.e., all of PW’s personal property assets),
`as the Receiver deems necessary for the proper retention, management, administration, and/or
`liquidation of the Collateral, and take the actions set forth in the Order. Plaintiffs and PW agree that
`the Court should appoint the Receiver under the terms and conditions of the Order, given the nature
`of the major Collateral at this point, the patent infringement claims. A Receiver is needed to take
`control of those and administer them for the protection of the secured lender Plaintiffs, in order to
`pay the defaulted loan obligations and debt owed by PW to Plaintiffs.
