The Debtor will cause to be taken all necessary steps in any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property (other than the Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing fees, taxes or other governmental fees. If any Intellectual Property (other than Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the first sentence of subparagraph (i) of this subparagraph (h)) is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, the Debtor shall (x) upon learning of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the Secured Party and (y) to the extent the Debtor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, promptly xxx for infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, seek injunctive relief where appropriate and recover any and all damages for such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, or take such other actions as the Debtor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. The Debtor shall furnish to the Secured Party from time to time upon its request statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Intellectual Property and Licenses and such other reports in connection with the Intellectual Property and Licenses as the Secured Party may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail and promptly upon request of the Secured Party, following receipt by the Secured Party of any such statements, schedules or reports, the Debtor shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule 1 attached hereto, as the case may be, to include any Intellectual Property and License, as the case may be, which becomes part of the Collateral under this Agreement and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the Secured Party, desirable to subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtor may not abandon or otherwise permit any Intellectual Property to become invalid without the prior
9
written consent of the Secured Party, and if any Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, the Debtor will take such action as the Secured Party shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.
(ii)
In no event shall the Debtor, either itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, file an application for the registration of any Trademark or Copyright or the issuance of any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, or in any similar office or agency of the United States or any country or any political subdivision thereof unless it gives the Secured Party prior written notice thereof. Upon request of the Secured Party, the Debtor shall execute, authenticate and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Secured Party may reasonably request to evidence the Secured Party’s security interest hereunder in such Intellectual Property and the General Intangibles of the Debtor relating thereto or represented thereby, and the Debtor hereby appoints the Secured Party its attorney-in-fact to execute and/or authenticate and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations in full.

Upon the Secured Party’s written request, the Debtor shall cause each bank and other financial institution with an account referred to in Schedule IV hereto to execute and deliver to the Secured Party a control agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Secured Party, duly executed by the Debtor and such bank or financial institution, or enter into other arrangements in form and substance satisfactory to the Secured Party, pursuant to which such institution shall irrevocably agree, inter alia, that (i) it will comply at any time with the instructions originated by the Secured Party to such bank or financial institution directing the disposition of cash, Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items from time to time credited to such account, without further consent of the Debtor, which instructions the Secured Party will not give to such bank or other financial institution in the absence of a continuing Event of Default, (ii) all Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items of the Debtor deposited with such institution shall be subject to a perfected, first priority security interest in favor of the Secured Party, (iii) any right of set off (other than recoupment of standard fees), banker’s Lien or other similar Lien, security interest or encumbrance shall be fully waived as against the Secured Party, and (iv) upon receipt of written notice from the Secured Party during the continuance of an Event of Default, such bank or financial institution shall immediately send to the Secured Party by wire transfer (to such account as the Secured Party shall specify, or in such other manner as the Secured Party shall direct) all such cash, the value of any Commodity Contracts, securities, Investment Property and other items held by it. Without the prior written consent of the Secured Party, the Debtor shall not make or maintain any Deposit Account, Commodity Account or Securities Account except for the accounts set forth in Schedule IV attached hereto. The provisions of this Paragraph 5(i) shall not apply to (i) Deposit Accounts for which the Secured Party is the depositary, and (ii) Deposit Accounts specially and exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of the Debtor’s salaried or hourly employees.

11
take any action and to execute any instrument which the Secured Party may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Debtor under Paragraph 5 hereof), including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Secured Party pursuant to Paragraph 5(e) hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which the Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Secured Party and the Secured Party with respect to any Collateral, and (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Secured Party and the Secured Party with respect to any Collateral.

For the purpose of enabling the Secured Party to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Secured Party shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, the Debtor hereby grants to the Secured Party, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Debtor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Debtor, wherever the same may be located, including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Note that limit the right of the Debtor to dispose of its property, and Paragraph 5(g) and Paragraph 5(h) hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Debtor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Secured Party shall from time to time, upon the request of the Debtor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which the Debtor shall have certified are appropriate (in the Debtor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this subparagraph (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, the Secured Party (subject to Paragraph 10(e) hereof) shall release and reassign to the Debtor all of the Secured Party’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever.

The Debtor hereby releases the Secured Party from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Secured Party under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Secured Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(d)
If the Debtor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Secured Party may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of the Debtor or the Secured Party, and the expenses of the Secured Party incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Debtor pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof and shall be secured by the Collateral.
(e)
The powers conferred on the Secured Party hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

12
Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Debtor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
7.
Remedies Upon Event of Default. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to the Permitted Liens:
(a)
The Secured Party may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Secured Party’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Secured Party has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the benefit of the Secured Party, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require the Debtor to, and the Debtor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Secured Party forthwith, assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Secured Party and make it available to the Secured Party at a place or places to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Secured Party may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by the Debtor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Secured Party’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to the Debtor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Secured Party’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Secured Party may deem commercially reasonable. The Debtor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least 10 days’ notice to the Debtor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Secured Party may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Debtor hereby waives any claims against the Secured Party and the Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that the Debtor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. The Debtor hereby acknowledges that (1) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Secured Party shall be made without warranty, (2) the Secured Party may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (3) such actions set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (A) upon written notice to the Debtor from the Secured Party after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Debtor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property or any trademark, patent or copyright similar thereto for any purpose described in such notice; (B) the Secured Party may, at any time and from time to time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon 10 days’ prior notice to the Debtor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Secured Party shall in its sole discretion determine; and (C) the Secured Party may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Paragraph 6 hereof (such authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of the Debtor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.
(b)
Any cash held by the Secured Party as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Secured Party in respect of any sale of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Secured Party pursuant to Paragraph 8 hereof) by the Secured Party against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Secured Party shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Secured Party and remaining after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall
13
be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.
(c)
In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Party and the Secured Party are legally entitled, the Debtor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Note for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and other client charges of any attorneys employed by the Secured Party to collect such deficiency.
(d)
The Debtor hereby acknowledges that if the Secured Party complies with any applicable state, provincial or federal law requirements in connection with a disposition of the Collateral, such compliance will not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral.
(e)
The Secured Party shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that the Debtor lawfully may agree, the Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, the Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
8.
