1

3. AUTHORIZATION AND
REQUEST. Grantor authorizes and requests that the Register of Copyrights and the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks record this Agreement and the security interest created hereby.
4. COVENANTS AND
WARRANTIES. Grantor represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows:
(a) Performance of this Agreement does not conflict with or result in a breach of any agreement to which Grantor is a party or by which Grantor is bound, or require the consent or approval of any third
party;
(b) Grantor shall promptly advise Lender of any material changes in the
composition of the Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, any subsequent ownership right of Grantor in or to any Intellectual Property not specified in this Agreement;

(h) Upon any officer of Grantor obtaining knowledge thereof, Grantor will promptly notify Lender in writing of any event that materially

against any of the Intellectual Property Collateral.

rights under this Section 5.
6. INSPECTION
RIGHTS. Grantor hereby grants to Lender and its officers, employees and agents the right to visit, during reasonable hours, any of Grantor’s plants and facilities that manufacture, install or store
products (or that have done so during the prior six-month period) that are sold utilizing any of the Intellectual Property Collateral, and to inspect the products and quality control records relating thereto.
7. INDEMNITY. Grantor shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and
its officers, employees and agents against: (a) all obligations, demands, claims and liabilities claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (b) all losses or Lender Expenses in any
way suffered, incurred or paid by Lender as a result of or in any way arising out of, following, or consequential to transactions between Lender and Grantor whether under this Agreement, or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses), except for losses caused by Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
8. REINSTATEMENT. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against Grantor for liquidation or
reorganization, should Grantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of Grantor’s property and assets, and shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by Grantor,
whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent conveyance,” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned, the Secured Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
