Patent License Security Agreement, dated as of February 3, 2011 (this “Agreement”), between ECL7, LLC a Delaware limited liability company (the “Grantor”), and Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V., a company duly incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands and Philips Medical Systems Nederland B.V., a private company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of The Netherlands (together the “Secured Party”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Grantor is party to a Security Agreement dated as of February 3, 2011 (the “Security Agreement”) between the Grantor and Secured Party pursuant to which the Grantor is required to execute and deliver this Patent License Security Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Secured Party to enter into the Sublicense Agreement, the Grantor hereby agrees with the Secured Party, as follows:

SECTION 1.    Defined Terms. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Security Agreement and used herein have the meaning given to them in the Security Agreement.

“Pledged Non-Robotic Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights” shall mean any and all present and future rights and remedies relating to present and future patents, inventors’ certificates and patent applications throughout the world, including without limitation those listed patent applications and patents set forth in Schedule I hereto, to the extent they are sub-licensed to Secured Party by Grantor pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement.

SECTION 2.    Grant of Security Interest in Patent Collateral. Subject to Section 3 below, Grantor hereby grants to the Secured Party a security interest in and continuing lien on all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Pledged Non-Robotic Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights and all other personal property of Grantor solely to the extent directly related to the Pledged Non-Robotic Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights including, but not limited to the following, in each case whether now owned or existing or hereafter acquired or arising and wherever located, and (except with regard to “payment intangibles” as defined in Article 9 of the UCC and general books, records, and documents related to the Pledged Non-Robotic Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights), only to the extent that Secured Party has any present and future rights or interest therein pursuant to the Sublicense Agreement, so long as such sublicense has not been terminated pursuant to Section 4 of the Sublicense Agreement (all of which being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Collateral”):

(a) Accounts; (b) Chattel Paper; (c) Documents; (d) General Intangibles; (e) Goods; (f) Instruments; (g) Insurance; (h) Money; (i) Receivables and Receivable Records; (j) Commercial Tort Claims; (k) to the extent not otherwise included above, all Collateral Records, Collateral Support and Supporting Obligations relating to any of the foregoing; and (l) to the extent not otherwise included above, all Proceeds, products, accessions, rents and profits of or in respect of any of the foregoing.

For the avoidance of doubt, the security interest in and continuing lien granted to Secured Party by Grantor shall not extend to any assets of Grantor, including without limitation rights under the Xxxxxx-Xxxx Agreement, not so directly related to the Pledged Non-Robotic Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights. Secured Party acknowledges that Xxxxxx may exercise any and all of Xxxxxx’x rights relating to (x) robotic technology not consisting of Pledged Non-Robotics Xxxxxx-Xxxx Rights, and (y) non-robotic technology with respect to which Xxxxxx has exercised its buy back rights under that certain Patent and Technology License and Purchase Agreement between Xxxxxx and Secured Party executed on or about the date of this Agreement as the same may be amended from time to time, and that Xxxxxx may enter into agreements or otherwise deal with third parties with respect to such rights without the need to consult with or otherwise obtain consent from Secured Party under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.    Security Agreement. The security interest granted pursuant to this Patent Security Agreement is granted in conjunction with the security interest granted to the Secured Party pursuant to the Security Agreement and Grantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that the rights and remedies of the Secured Party with respect to the security interest in the Collateral made and granted hereby are more fully set forth in the Security Agreement, the terms and provisions of which are incorporated by reference herein as if fully set forth herein. In the event that any provision of this Patent Security Agreement is deemed to conflict with the Security Agreement, the provisions of the Security Agreement shall control.

SECTION 4.    Applicable Law. This Patent Security Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

SECTION 5.    Counterparts. This Patent Security Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
